Chapter 652: Two More Falls
As if to oppose Liu Yiyi, the news of Qin Shubao's soberness had just come out, and before Liu Yiyi and his party arrived at the Su Mansion of Dasi Nongqing, two important ministers fell in Chang'an City at the same time.
Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji.
For a while, the situation oscillated, rumors spread, the emperor's right-hand man, the minister of the Tang Dynasty, both fell, and the good news that the Duke of Yiguo was awake and expected to be cured was also diluted in an instant.
"These people have really eaten the gall of a leopard!" In the Lizheng Palace, Li Shimin, who was having dinner with Empress Changsun, slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and the little joy he had just received from Li Qing also dissipated.
"Heal one, and they dare to let two of my courtiers fall, this is a provocation to me and to the national prestige of my Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin's fists were clenched tightly, his face was tense and colorless, and his body trembled slightly, declaring the anger and indignation in the heart of this Ming Jun.
A ninety-five emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but he can't even protect his own courtiers, if this is passed out, what face does he Li Shimin have to stay on this throne?
"Li Qing!"
"Back to the emperor, the villain is here!"
"You take my message, go to the Yiguo Mansion to find the prince," Li Shimin got up and left his seat, walked back and forth in front of the table for two steps, and resolutely opened his mouth to Li Qing and instructed: "This matter is by no means as simple as a coincidence, the prince immediately started to investigate, I gave him three days, and after three days, if he still can't find out the black hand behind the scenes, you tell the prince, I will consider handing this matter over to Li Ke, the king of Wu." ”
"Your Majesty, could it be that three days are a little too rushed?" Without showing her worried brother's feelings on her face, Empress Eldest Sun got up gently. poured a cup of new tea and handed it to Li Shimin's hand. Speak softly.
This matter, since the three of them fell ill very strangely before and after, Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yiguo, Su Bingren, the Grand Secretary of Nongqing, and Xiao of the Song Kingdom, Liu Dewei of the Criminal Department has begun to investigate thoroughly, and after so long, there has been no information, which shows how deeply those people are hidden, and how difficult this case is. Now the emperor has only given Qian'er three days to handle the case. The eldest grandson queen is a mother, and she will inevitably have some worries in her heart.
And. Listen to the meaning of the emperor's last sentence. It's also worrying. If you can't do it. and handed over to Li Ke. What will the courtiers think? ridiculed Qian'er, the prince, for being incompetent. Or will it be associated with some other directions?
"This thing. I have a sense of proportion. The queen need not be too worried. "Take the tea bowl. Li Shimin patted the little hand of Empress Changsun. A few words of gentle reassurance. Then he turned his head and instructed Li Qing, the head of the East Palace, "Okay." Don't bother here. Let's go. ”
"Yes. Emperor. The Queen's Mother. The villain will retire! After bowing down and bowing to Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and several princesses on the ground. Li Qing slowly withdrew from the temple gate. As soon as they trotted, they went out of the palace to report to their master.
Although it is only a small land chamberlain. However, it has a serious impact on this matter. Li Qing was not confused at all. This seems to be a test for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by the emperor. Pressed for time. And from the hint of the queen's mother. This matter is even faintly related to the future and status of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Horses can't be. It is necessary to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, let's calm your anger first. The reason why these people chose to murder Lord Fang and the eldest grandson at such a time. "When it comes to the eldest grandson, Mowgli. Empress Eldest Sun's tone couldn't help but be a little turbulent. But she quickly covered it up: "It's just the explanation." Because Mr. Liu returned. They. The heart is empty. ”
"Mr. Liu's medical skills are superb. There are few diseases in this world that can hardly defeat him. Diseases of the Wing Country Commons. Isn't it already in his hands that he has already seen the first results? "This kind of time. Empress Changsun couldn't help but exaggerate some of Liu's skills. Comfort said to Li Shimin: "There is Mr. Liu on the side. These adults fell ill. Worry-free. ”
"For now, there is only one way to look at Liu's means, I hope he won't disappoint me." Sighing lightly, Li Shimin shook his head lightly, and did not continue to eat, and bowed to the eldest grandson Empress to explain, and then drove away from the Lizheng Palace.
The ministers fell ill one after another, and the rumors outside the palace flew all over the sky of Chang'an City, and some things had to be guarded against, lest those people go to the end, and they would jump over the wall in a hurry, no longer caring about any rumors, identities, and schemes, and they would really be killed. Otherwise, if you are sick, Liu Yiyi may be able to save it, but what if she dies? Li Shimin didn't want to regret it.
"Xiao Dezi," Seeing Li Shimin leave the palace gate quickly, Empress Eldest Sun couldn't sit still any longer, and directly said to Xiao Dezi urgently: "You go and prepare, and go to the Mansion of Qi with the palace in a while." ”
"Queen Mother, let Shu'er go with you," Princess Yuzhang approached Empress Changsun, put her arms around Empress Changsun's arm, and said, "Uncle has such a big situation there, Shu'er can't rest assured, I want to go over and have a look." ”
"Well, it's rare that you have this filial piety, so I'll follow you in a while." Nodding lightly, Empress Eldest Sun said to herself with infinite worry: "I don't know how the eldest brother is now, didn't the emperor already have a warning before, why was he so careless?" ”
"The queen mother doesn't have to worry too much, my uncle and his old man have his own natural appearance, and there will be nothing wrong." Feeling the rare panic of the queen mother, Li Ru seemed to whisper comforting on the side: "As you just said to your father, in this Chang'an City, there is Mr. Liu, what other illness can be difficult for him?" Uncle and his old man were really plotted by others, and Mr. Liu will definitely be able to save his uncle. ”
"Well, hopefully." Like Li Shimin, Empress Eldest Sun also sighed lightly, let Princess Yuzhang support her, and went out of the palace together. As for Li Zhi and Xiaoya, a few of them were left in the palace and handed over to the palace maids and nurses to take care of.
"Mr. Liu," in the carriage to Su Mansion, Liu Yiyi and Li Chengqian rode in the same car, and after the palace maid in the car brought the tea, Li Chengqian asked Liu Yiyi for advice: "In your opinion, is it possible that Yiguo Gong and his old man's illness were secretly murdered and deliberately murdered?" ”
During this time, because of the serious illness of the three old ministers at the same time, the entire Chang'an City was in an uproar, and inside and outside the palace, it could not be stopped for a moment. Many people suspect that someone is deliberately murdering and spreading rumors, but there has been no evidence, and the imperial doctors have not been able to diagnose any symptoms.
"Yi Guogong is an old disease, and his tuberculosis is terminal, so there is no need for anyone to murder him again," he took the tea bowl with both hands and placed it lightly on the table, Liu Yiyi bent over and replied: "Hemoptysis, coma, and not being able to get out of bed are all normal symptoms, and there is nothing wrong with it." Xiaomin couldn't see the slightest trace of someone starting, so it wasn't someone who planned to murder him. ”
"As for Master Su and Song Guogong," Liu Yiyi said softly: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it's not clear, and the people don't dare to judge it, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive me." ”
"Yes, sir." Li Chengqian nodded in response, looked up at Liu Yiyi, and Li Chengqian said in a loud voice: "This time the danger of Chang'an depends on Mr. Mister's skill." After Lord Su and Song Guogong were done, Lone Dang personally went to his father to ask for credit for Mr. ”
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, for your love!" Seeing that Li Chengqian said so sincerely, Liu Yiyi thanked him.
"Hehe, it's a life, Mr. Liu treats loneliness like this, but he looks more raw than before." Shaking his head lightly, Li Chengqian glanced at Liu Yiyi with a smile, then straightened up and said: "Mr. Yu Gu, there is a great grace to save his life, in front of Lonely, Mr. does not need to be so restrained." Like a teacher, like a friend, like a neighbor, isn't it better to be casual? ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very fond of you, but the etiquette cannot be abolished," looking up at Li Chengqian, Liu Yiyi gradually showed a smile on his face, and said: "If you let the old man of the Ministry of Rites know that he is rude in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, he will not be able to chase and beat one all over the courtyard with a ring ruler?" ”
"Huh? Hehe, the gentleman laughed. Glancing at Liu Yiyi, Li Chengqian laughed loudly, and his laughter was very hearty.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Mr. Liu, Master Su's mansion has arrived." In the laughter of the two, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the door of Su Mansion, and the attendant who was driving the carriage replied with a shriek, and lifted the curtain of the door in a regular manner, respectfully inviting the two to get off.
In front of the mansion, Su An, the old housekeeper of Su Mansion, bowed down to wait, and after a polite salute, the group followed Su Chenxi and Su An, the master and servant, into the courtyard.
"Our master's body has always been very healthy, there are no disasters and no diseases, and adults rarely even get caught in the cold," on the way with us, the old housekeeper Su An whispered to Liu Yiyi about their master's condition: "I don't know what's wrong this time, there is no sign or omen, and suddenly I am so dizzy, for several days, I have been lying on the couch unconscious, and now my body has lost a lot of weight, it is really distressing to watch." ”
"Didn't Master Su have any serious illnesses before?" Hearing Su An's strange words, Liu Yiyi interjected.
"No, although my grandfather loves wine, he also knows some health preservation principles," Su Chenxi replied: "Meals are moderate, go to bed early and get up early, even if you drink, you will rarely get drunk, since I can remember, I haven't seen his old man love any serious illness." The usual hot wind and cold, just eat a pair of herbs, and you can be cured quickly. ”
"Oh? That's a surprise. Thinking of what Li Chengqian said in the car just now, Liu Yiyi had some doubts in his heart, could it be that this Su Bingren's disease, someone was really doing something in secret?
