Half a month after Ye Ji moved into the Black Mansion, Ling Mohan finally got rid of the heat and poisonous plague. After everyone's typhoid fever improved, Ling Mohan brought people back to the imperial capital.
The emperor was overjoyed, and immediately rewarded Ling Mohan and his party. However, Ling Mohan refused the award on the grounds that as a prince, he should solve problems for the people. The more the emperor looked at him, the more satisfied he was, and the smile on his face never fall.
Afterwards, Ling Mohan handed over the memorial and ruthlessly read Wu Chenzi's copy.
The emperor was very angry when he learned that the heat poisoning was caused by the festival of the four clans, but he only fined Wu Chenzi one year's salary, and let Wu Chenzi go home and reflect on it for two months. Unfavorable and temporarily disqualified from going to court, he can only be a prince doing nothing in the next few months.
Ling Mohan had guessed this result early in the morning, so after hearing the emperor's punishment of Wu Chenzi and the others, he was very calm, and then he glanced at the adults next to him.
The lord understood, and came out and said: "I would like to report to the emperor, during the period of reflection at home, the Master of the National Teacher, should we find someone to temporarily take care of the affairs of the Master of the National Teacher, otherwise, the Sitian Supervisor will mess up.
The emperor thought for a while: "Let Tianshi Yan take the position of Master National Teacher temporarily."
Wu Chenzi's expression became serious, he lowered his head, pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.
Ling Mohan slightly hooked the corners of his lips.
In the Sitianjian, besides Wu Chenzi, the biggest one is Yan Tianshi, but unfortunately Wu Chenzi suppressed everything, and now he finally has a chance to stand up.
After getting down, Ling Mohan walked out of the hall with a smile on his face.
Ling Zisheng, who had been waiting outside, quickly greeted him, and asked with a smile, "Has the emperor granted you a reward?"
Ling Mohan told the story of Chaoshang.
Ling Zisheng said excitedly: "The old man has finally been kicked out of the position of national teacher."
Ling Mohan narrowed his eyes: "This is only temporary, if you want to completely pull him down from the position of national teacher, you still need to plan carefully.
He looked at Ling Zisheng, "I didn't ask for a reward for you, don't you blame me?"
Ling Zisheng rolled his eyes: "The things that the emperor rewards are nothing more than gold, silver and jewels, and I don't lack these. What's more, I just sent people to find herbs for colds, and I didn't do anything for you, cousin. You should really thank me." That lady is right, if it wasn't for her, we wouldn't be able to face Wu Chenzi head-on."
Ling Mohan nodded, returned to the palace, took out a waist card and called out to it: "Heiyang."
Then, Hei Yang appeared in front of them: "I don't know what orders His Royal Highness has?"
"It's thanks to your wife that the heat poisoning can be solved smoothly this time. If possible, I would like to invite him out for a meal."
Hei Yang raised his eyebrows: "My master doesn't like him having too much contact with other men.
This was explained by Hei Xuanyi early in the morning. If the prince invited Wu Ruo to dinner, or to meet alone, he would refuse on the spot.
Ling Mohan froze for a moment, in his heart, Wu Ruo was a man, so he didn't respond to what Heiyang meant by his words for a while.
Ling Zisheng chuckled: "Is your master jealous?"
"Yes." Hei Yang said very honestly.
Ling Mohan: "..."
"Cousin, since that lady's husband has tasted it, I'll just thank their wife in another way, such as rewarding her with some gold, silver and treasures. You think it must have taken a lot of effort for her to extract so many potions , would it be too stingy just to go out to eat?"
Ling Mohan nodded reluctantly, and ordered someone to bring out the box of gold, silver and jewelry for Heiyang to take back. In fact, he really wanted to meet Wu Ruo. He wanted the two of them to sit down and have a good chat and share the joy. Now that he couldn't see anyone, he felt a little lost for no reason.
After Hei Yang left, Ling Zisheng saw Ling Yanghan sitting on the chair without saying a word, and asked strangely, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?"
Wasn't it a good mood before? Why did he become listless all of a sudden.
Ling Mohan shook his head: "It's okay."
Ling Zisheng rolled his eyes and asked, "Cousin, don't you fall in love with that lady?"
Ever since he was refused to go out to eat, his cousin became unhappy.
Ling Mohan was taken aback, and suddenly his face darkened: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
The other party is a man, how could he like a man.
"It's fine if you don't." Ling Zisheng breathed a sigh of relief: "You are a crown prince, but the other party is a married woman who is not worthy of you at all, and the empress and aunt would not let you be with such a woman.
Ling Mohan gave him a cold look: "Stop guessing about what is worthwhile, you should leave the palace quickly, uncle and the others haven't seen you for a month, they must be anxiously waiting for you to go back."
"I'm leaving now, cousin, remember to owe me a meal." Ling Zisheng turned and left the prince's palace with a smile.
Ling Mo smiled coldly: "It's ridiculous to say that Ben Gong likes Wu Ruo, how could Ben Gong like men."
After saying this, Wu Ruojue's beautiful face appeared in his mind again, and he couldn't shake it off.
Ling Zisheng came out of the prince's palace, just in time to meet Wu Chenzi who came out of the second prince's palace.
Wu Chenzi's face was dark and stinky, and he glanced at Ling Zisheng faintly, then left the imperial palace with the eunuch who led the way, and returned to Wufu in a carriage, without eating, he locked himself in the room and carefully reflected on all the recent things .
He found that since the birthday banquet, no matter what he did, it was not going well, and he couldn't get a result even if he tried to divination, which was really annoying. It's like plotting against him, otherwise why can't I receive a plant of beast grass
Who is going to kill him
Wu Chenzi went over the matter from the beginning to the end again. If he hadn't known that raising beast grass could cure heat poison, he would not have been in a hurry to bring the second prince to the emperor to deal with heat poison. , and assuming he hadn’t heard Wu Ruo’s sent guards talk about heat poison, he wouldn’t be curious to see if Wu Bufang and the others had any effect after drinking the decoction.
He looked terrified, everything seemed to start when Wu Ruo sent someone to give away the animal grass.
Wu Chenzi thought carefully about the whole incident again, and then found a doubtful point. He thought that he was very well informed, as long as what happened in the imperial capital could not be hidden from his eyes, but he hadn't learned about the hot news yet. Why did Wu Ruo know about heat poison before the poison thing? And it is clear that animal grass is used to cure heat and poison
Later, after the heat poison spread, people who knew that raising animal grass can cure heat poison either took the opportunity to earn a lot of money, or kindly told the story about raising animal grass to cure heat poison, but there was no one. Mentioning animal grass can cure heat and poison.
The more Wu Chenzi thought about it, the more he felt that Wu Ruo was suspicious, and even suspected that Wu Ruo was responsible for the purchase of animal grass. Although he didn't know how Wu Ruo knew about the heat poison in advance, it definitely had something to do with him.
Thinking of Wu Ruo, he also thought of the greedy and selfish people of the Wu family in Gaoling City. If it weren't for Wu Ruo, he wouldn't have lost a lot of money and medicinal materials to this large group of people.
Wu Chenzi frowned, and found that many things were related to Wu Ruo, just like his granddaughter Wu Weixue, if Wu Weixue hadn't fallen in love with Wu Ruo's husband Hei Xuanyi, his granddaughter wouldn't have used Huarong Water to destroy her. His great-granddaughter's appearance and the matter of turning into water will not be known to everyone, let alone more things that will happen later.
The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong, because he also thought that someone was harming Wu Weixue, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring the peach who took care of Wu Weixue to him.
When Zhitao was brought in front of him, he almost couldn't recognize the scarred girl in front of him as his granddaughter's personal maid.
Wu Chenzi asked the housekeeper, "How could she be beaten like this?"
The housekeeper explained: "Because she didn't take care of Miss Wei Xue, the Second Young Madam put her in jail, and every morning she would be beaten up by the guards before she would let her go."
Wu Chenzi frowned: "Give her a wound medicine, I have something to ask."
"Yes."
Zhitao took the elixir, and in an instant, the pain in her body was relieved a lot, and she was finally able to speak, "I have seen Master Guoshi."
Wu Chenzi asked: "I have something to ask you, you have to answer truthfully."
Zhitao replied weakly: "Yes."
"Based on the deity's understanding of Li'er, Li'er is a relatively shy little girl, and she can't do things like robbing others of men, so why does Wei Xue think that Li'er is robbing her of men?"
Zhitao said honestly: "It's because Mr. Hei praised Miss Yanli in front of the lady, saying that Miss Yanli is more beautiful than Hua. The lady was very angry when she heard that, and thought that Miss Yanli was robbing her for a man."
Wu Chenzi narrowed his eyes suddenly: "Are you sure that Hei Xuanyi really said Ren Bihuajiao to Wei Xue's face?"
Although he didn't know Biaohei Xuanyi, it was impossible for a quiet person to praise another girl in front of another girl, let alone Wu Ruo was there.
"Very sure."
As soon as Wu Chenzi heard this, he felt strange, and seemed to deliberately tell Wu Weixue to make Wu Weixue jealous, which then triggered a series of things.
"I will ask you again, how many people know about Huarongshui?"
"Just miss, servant girl and young master Yanlan."
"Is there no fourth person who knows? For example, Wei Xue likes Hei Xuanyi, and then, in a desperate situation, told Hei Xuanyi about Hua Rongshui?"
Zhitao shook her head: "No, Miss has never had a chance to contact Mr. Hei alone, and Mr. Hei has not expressed his liking for Mrs. Hei, so how could Miss tell Mr. Hei about this.
Wu Chenzi frowned, and asked unwillingly: "Have you been discovered by Hei Xuanyi and Wu Ruo by accident, or have you seen Huarongshui by accident?"
"No." Zhitao then thought of something, and changed his words: "Maybe I have seen it."
Wu Chenzi hurriedly asked, "Tell me what's going on?"
Zhitao then told about the fact that she hit Wu Ruo with Huarong water but accidentally hit the fake skin on Hei Xuanyi's face: "This is how the fake skin on Mr. Hei's face fell off, and the young lady also fell in love with Mr. Hei at that time. "
Wu Chenzi's face suddenly darkened. Maybe it was at that time that Wu Ruo and the others discovered the existence of Huarongshui, and then used Wu Weixue's liking for Hei Xuanyi to ruin Wu Weixue's reputation. There was a rift at home.
Good for you, Wu Ruo, good for you, Hei Xuanyi.
Wu Chenzi slapped the table angrily, and Zhitao shrank back in fright, not daring to look at Wu Chenzi's face.
No wonder after Wu Ruo broke Ling Mohan's Nine Palace Dragon Jade, Ling Mohan let him go so easily. It turned out that the two had already colluded to deal with the Wu family.
very good.
Wu Chenzi closed his furious eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes regained their calmness.
Wu Ruo, Hei Xuanyi, this deity, you wait for this deity, and this deity will make you pay for it.
When Wu Chenzi found out that Wu Ruo had designed everything, Wu Ruo was sharing the money with Nu Mu in the hall of the Heifu: "Master, you have grown old after hard work a while ago, this is the gold and silver treasure that the prince gave me. We are one and half."
Nu Mu was not polite to him either. After receiving a pile of gold, silver and jewels, he laughed and said, "No matter how much money I have in the future, I will not do the business of refining animal grass anymore. This is really not done by humans."
Wu Ruo said with a smile: "In the future, when there will be a heat-poisonous plague, you can just use herbs to make soup and drink it."
He pushed his other half of the gold and silver treasures in front of Hei Xuanyi: "All these silvers are for you to spend, you can buy whatever you want?"
Nu Mu joked: "Are you handing over your private money? Xiao Ruo, I really can't tell, you are afraid of your husband."
The corners of Hei Xuanyi's mouth curled up slightly. Before, he was quite concerned about Wu Ruo accepting the gold and silver jewelry from Ling Mohan, but now seeing that Wu Ruo didn't take any money, he felt instantly relieved.
Wu Ruo hooked Hei Xuanyi's neck: "I'm not afraid of my husband, but I love my husband. I will work hard to earn money for my husband in the future, can't I?"
"Okay, okay." Nu Mu looked at Hei Xuanyi admiringly: "You see, your husband is very happy."
In fact, it is not as exaggerated as he said, Hei Xuanyi's indifferent handsome appearance only showed a slight smile.
Seeing him happy, Wu Ruo was also very happy.
"Okay, I won't disturb you husband and wife." Numu smiled and got up, and left the hall with gold, silver and jewelry in his robe.
Wu Ruo asked: "Did you not want me to accept Ling Mohan's money just now?"
When he opened the box that Hei Yang brought back, he felt that Hei Xuanyi was not very happy.
"Hmm." Hei Xuanyi didn't deny it.
The reason he didn't like it was because he had noticed from Wu Weixue's turning into a beggar that Ling Mohan might fall in love with Wu Ruo, and felt that such behavior was clearly trying to curry favor with Wu Ruo.
Wu Ruo explained: "Master and I worked so hard to refine animal grass, but in the end the reputation and reputation were taken up by the crown prince, but Master and I got nothing. It's not too much to take a little money from him, isn't it? You promise, you won’t ask him to pay any money in the future.”
Although he didn't know the real reason why Hei Xuanyi was unhappy, but making her husband happy was his main purpose.
Hei Xuanyi said softly, "Stay away from Ling Mohan from now on."
Wu Ruo smiled, is his husband jealous
