Listening to the emperor's words, Princess Jinyang felt very uncomfortable. Looking at the emperor's face that was getting thinner, Princess Jinyang said softly: "I heard about the things in the palace. My sister is worried about the emperor, so I came to the palace to have a look."
Sensing Princess Jinyang's scrutiny, the emperor was immediately displeased: "Okay, I'm fine, now I've finished watching, you can leave the palace."
Princess Jinyang was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the emperor in disbelief. The emperor's words were completely different from the previous care and preference for her, but full of impatience, as if she was a scourge.
The emperor frowned tightly at this moment, thought for a while and said: "In the future, if you have nothing to do, don't enter the palace."
Princess Jinyang's mentality suddenly became unbalanced. She looked up at the emperor and asked, "What does the emperor mean by saying that you can't trust my sister?"
The emperor frowned impatiently. Seeing this, Mu Ruhai hurried forward to persuade him: "Eldest princess, the emperor is not feeling well and has a bad temper these days. Please be considerate and leave the palace first." During the time, Mu Ruhai kept giving Princess Jinyang eyes.
Princess Jinyang understood, so she swallowed for the time being, saluted the emperor, turned and left.
When sending the eldest princess of Jinyang out, Mu Ruhai sighed all the way: "The emperor's body is getting worse day by day, and he is so confused that sometimes even people can admit his mistakes. The reason why the servant let you come out first is because I'm afraid you've offended the emperor, the emperor's mind is... to say something disrespectful, it's not normal, and the things you can do are unimaginable."
Princess Jinyang paused in her footsteps, she stopped and asked Mu Ruhai in a low voice: "You are serving the emperor's brother every day, so you don't suspect that the emperor's sudden illness is?"
Mu Ruhai lowered his voice and said: "This servant is not blind, and can see some things more clearly than you. This servant has been quietly searching for evidence during this time, except for Concubine Feng's usual close-fitting things, this servant has checked everything One time, no questions asked."
The eldest princess of Jinyang frowned, and Mu Ruhai said again: "Your Highness, the servant has seen the emperor's situation in his eyes and is anxious in his heart, and he has really thought of many ways, but they are of no use at all. .”
"It's hard for you too."
While talking, Mu Ruhai sent Princess Jinyang outside the gate of the palace: "This old servant has been thinking for a long time, but he feels that he can't repay the emperor's kindness over the years... This old slave has a low status and has no good ideas. What happened to the slave, please take care of the family for the slave."
After saying this, Mu Ruhai bowed to Princess Jinyang, turned around and went back without explaining.
Princess Jinyang looked at Mu Ruhai's words in puzzlement, and thought of something faintly in her heart. She stood at the gate of the hall and looked at Mu Ruhai's back, but she never left.
In the palace, the emperor took a elixir from the imperial hospital after driving away the eldest princess of Jinyang. At this moment, his mind was buzzing, as if hundreds of people were talking non-stop Yes, the noise made him dizzy, and he couldn't concentrate on thinking about things at all.
Holding Concubine Feng Gui's hand, the emperor said in pain: "I always feel my mind is muddled these days, and I can't remember many things clearly. No matter how hard I try, I can't think of it. Alas! It seems that I am really old, really. It's getting old."
Concubine Feng Gui comforted softly: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense, you are in your prime, how can you be old?"
"Don't comfort me, I know my body best." The emperor sighed heavily, and suddenly looked up at Concubine Feng Gui: "Lian'er, let me take a good look, I'm afraid I won't take a look again You will never be seen again."
Concubine Feng bowed her head and hugged the emperor who was sitting on the bed, and said softly, "Your majesty, don't say such words, my concubine will feel uncomfortable hearing this."
At this moment, Mu Ruhai entered the room and saw Concubine Feng Gui who was hugging the emperor to appease him. A trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and when he walked up to him, Mu Ruhai suddenly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I have something to say. .”
The emperor closed his eyes and waved his hands: "I have a headache, I'll talk about it later if I have anything to say."
"There are some things that this slave has to say today." Mu Ruhai's face was as determined as if a ship was sinking.
The emperor looked at Mu Ruhai impatiently, but before he could speak, he heard Mu Ruhai speak again.
"Your Majesty! Even if you killed the slave today, the slave will still say the same thing!" Mu Ruhai looked at death and said, "You have been checking and checking for the past two months! But there is no progress. Now your basic necessities There is no problem at all, but the condition is still getting worse. So I beg you, please send someone to check the palace of Concubine Feng Gui!"
Hearing Mu Ruhai's words, the emperor's eyes, which had been closed all the time, suddenly opened, filled with anger.
"Presumptuous!" The emperor pushed Concubine Feng Gui away, threw a teacup on the kang table and smashed it heavily on Mu Ruhai's head, causing blood to bloom on Mu Ruhai's forehead.
Blood flowed profusely from Mu Ruhai's head immediately, but he didn't seem to notice it, and he kept kowtowing to the emperor, pleading incessantly.
The emperor's chest rose and fell in anger at Mu Ruhai's words, and Concubine Feng continued to caress the emperor's chest. From an angle that the emperor couldn't see, Concubine Feng looked at Mu Ruhai with condensed eyes.
The emperor was furious, and pointed at Mu Ruhai with his right hand trembling: "You have been with me for more than 30 years, and now you are suspicious of Lian'er like those people! Mu Ruhai! You really let me down!"
Concubine Feng Gui suddenly knelt beside the emperor's bed at this time: "Your Majesty, let Eunuch Mu investigate. This concubine has no shame towards the emperor, and I am not afraid that Eunuch Mu will find out anything! After the investigation, I can also return my concubine's innocence. Otherwise... a lot of people outside are spreading this story, if you don't ask people to investigate today, maybe they will really think that your body is the hands and feet of your concubine."
Mu Ruhai squinted her eyes, wondering what Concubine Feng Gui was doing, was she bluffing, or was she really doing things seamlessly!
"Okay, okay! Check it out! Check it out!" The emperor patted the kang table angrily, and the cups and teapots on it vibrated: "If you don't find any results! I'm going to kill you!"
Mu Ruhai kowtowed heavily to the emperor three times, and resolutely got up and led the eunuchs around him to search for clues in Concubine Feng's residence. He usually does a lot of things like palace searches, and he knows the secrets of the harem best, and the people he is leading now are also experts he trusts. The secret compartments are already covered with dust, which should be left by the previous owner of this palace.
As time passed, Mu Ruhai's heart gradually began to sink.
