In Yichun Palace.
The queen sat on the royal couch with a livid face, and in the copper furnace at her feet, silver frost and charcoal were burning brightly.
Qiu Ju knelt down on the ground, lowered her head and said, "Mother, that's what happened. The emperor has already ordered the imperial guards to capture the person."
There was a loud "crack!"
The white jade tea cup shattered in response, and the queen said angrily: "This Zhang Hua dares to ruin the good things of this palace. It is contrary to heaven."
Seeing that the queen was angry, Qiu Ju lowered her head even more, "Mother, now is not the time to get angry. You have to think of a way quickly to reduce big things to small things."
Queen Qin didn't seem to hear her words, and looked at the debris on the ground coldly, with annoyance on her face.
Zhang Hua is just a dog next to her, but this dog knows a lot about her. It would be fine if it was a domesticated dog, but this dog is a wild dog, and it might bite her back.
The stakes are high. At this moment, whether you should save people or lose soldiers to protect your commander, you must proceed with caution.
"Empress?"
Queen Qin came back to her senses and put her delicate hand on her forehead, "It's okay to say that Lao Ba's matter is fine. Beating the royal family's children can be big or small, it depends on how the emperor handles it. Hurry, go to the front to inquire again."
"Yes, empress!" Qiu Ju bowed her head and retreated.
Empress Qin waved away the maid, stood up slowly, and walked to the desk, studying the ink slowly while thinking deeply.
After a while, a decent word "quiet" fell on the paper.
"Empress, empress, something bad is going to happen, something is going to go wrong!"
Qiu Ju ran in again with a panicked look on her face, not even caring that the beads on her head were crooked.
Queen Qin's heart palpitated, "What happened again?"
"Your Majesty, the imperial guards just took out two large boxes of gold bars from Zhang Hua's mansion. The emperor is furious. This will put people in prison!"
The delicate hand loosened, and the ink pen fell on the paper, staining the word "quiet" beyond recognition. Queen Qin opened her mouth half-open and leaned forward slightly.
Two large boxes of gold bars? How dare he, this dog slave!
"Your Majesty, the Emperor also said that he would personally interrogate Zhang Hua."
The emperor is personally interrogating a small imperial doctor
Queen Qin's heart sank. Although the charcoal fire at her feet was burning brightly, it still couldn't withstand the chill all over her body.
She still underestimated the dog's ability to cause trouble. If she had known what happened, why wouldn't she have killed him in the first place
After a long while, she looked sharply and said, "Where is King Rui?"
Qiu Ju said hurriedly: "Your Majesty called King Rui, King Xian, King Shou, and Zhao Jinghuan to the imperial study room. I'm afraid they are discussing something."
When Queen Qin heard this, she felt panicked.
Jingxue on the side was more mature and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "He is just Zhang Hua. Your Majesty, you must not mess up your position."
Queen Qin glanced at her coldly and said in a low voice: "If it were someone else, I wouldn't be afraid, but this person..."
The two confidant maids were shocked when they heard this and did not dare to speak any more.
"Where are Zhang Hua's family members?"
Qiu Ju said: "Back to the empress, we are all trapped in the house."
Queen Qin was silent for a long time, and then said after a while: "I heard that Zhang Hua's favorite son is his?"
"What do you mean, your Majesty?" the two maids said in unison.
"Send someone to tell Duke Zhen that although Zhang Hua has committed a crime, I still have an old relationship with him. Please help take care of his son."
The words were light but revealed an unknown harshness, which made people feel frightened.
"Yes, concubine!"
It was silent all around, so quiet that you could hear the sound of the copper leakage. Queen Qin was leaning on the couch, trying her best to remain calm, with a look of worry finally showing on her face.
Her eyes slowly closed, and while she was half asleep, she heard someone talking outside. Empress Qin raised her voice and said, "Who is outside?"
Footsteps came in, and it turned out to be Tianrui King Zhao Jingjue. When he saw it, he felt suddenly happy and couldn't help but blurted out: "Son, come to your mother quickly. What did your father say?"
King Rui waved his servants to leave, and Shi Ran sat on the small stool in front of the couch, "Mother, my father is very angry."
Queen Qin's eyes were red, and she was unspeakably angry, "Zhang Hua, that villain, is not enough to achieve things, but is enough to change them."
"Mother, before a cup of tea, Zhang Hua's youngest son was taken away by people from Prince Qi's palace."
Queen Qin swayed a few times and fell down on the collapse, with anger on her face, "How dare he!"
King Rui hurriedly supported her and said, "Queen Mother, please calm down. My son came here just to discuss countermeasures with Queen Mother."
Empress Qin gritted her teeth and said, "Zhang Hua's incident is obviously the work of that old thief. His purpose is to take advantage of us. Your Majesty, we cannot allow him to do whatever he wants."
King Rui sneered again and again.
"Old King Qi has now voted for Lao San. This man is very cunning and has a good reputation in the court. He also has such a large sum of money in his hands. Having him is a huge help for Lao San. Now People, we must find a way to get rid of them, but before that, we have a more important thing to do.”
"Your Majesty, please speak quickly." Empress Qin couldn't hold her breath.
King Rui's eyes were dark and cold, "Zhang Hua, this dog, knows too much. The only way to go now is to abandon the soldiers to save the commander. But the Ministry of Punishment is in the spotlight right now, so we shouldn't act rashly!"
"What should we do?"
When Empress Qin thought that Zhang Hua knew everything about it, she felt extremely panicked.
King Rui's breath was slightly stagnant, he endured it, and cast his ice-like gaze to the ground.
"Today's situation, we can only take two steps. First, we want to get rid of Zhang Hua. Once this person is removed, he will die without any symptoms, and my mother will have no worries; second, we will expose the case of the Criminal Department and divert the trouble to the east. Let the old King of Qi take care of himself."
Empress Qin grabbed Prince Rui's hand and said, "Your Majesty, our side must be fast! The old thief took the lead, but it's too late to say anything."
"My son will go back and make arrangements now. My mother will be walking around to my father these days to inquire about the situation."
"I know, please leave quickly!" Queen Qin pushed King Rui away without any hesitation.
As the sun set, Gu Qingguan packed up his things and walked out of the hospital.
"Gu Qingwan, Gu Qingwan, Zhang Hua has been sent to prison!"
Qingguan paused, looked back at Liu Zhaoyu, who was chasing after him out of breath, and raised his eyebrows helplessly.
"Liu Zhaoyu, I discovered for the first time that you are actually very gossipy."
"What does gossip mean?" Liu Zhaoyu was confused.
"Gossip means... you are very well-informed." Qingguan smiled.
"That's right! Hey, why is there no surprise on your face for such a pleasant thing?" Liu Zhaoyu realized later.
Isn't this Gu Qingwan and Zhang Hua at odds with each other
"Do you want me to celebrate by setting off two firecrackers at the entrance of Taiyuan Hospital?"
"That's not necessary. But it's always okay to treat guests to a meal?" Liu Zhaoyu smiled happily.
Qingguan glanced at him, "Want to take the opportunity to blackmail me?"
"That's great, you hit me." Liu Zhaoyu raised his eyebrows.
"Deal!" Qing Guan was busy and wanted to test this person, so he agreed.
Suddenly, a sharp light came over, and the two of them shivered at the same time. A few feet away, a man in brocade robes was looking at them with a half-smile.
As soon as Liu Zhaoyu saw the person, he ran over and saluted: "Well, Your Majesty!"
"Where are you going, Imperial Doctor Liu?" Zhao Jingyan asked him with a smile, but her eyes glanced at Gu Qingwan.
"Qingwan and I are going to find a place to eat." Liu Zhaoyu is an honest person.
"Yeah?"
Zhao Jingyan's smile became even brighter, but the coldness in her eyes leaked out a little bit. Qingwan, you are calling me so affectionate, is this what you should call me
"Well... Doctor Liu, the eighteen concubines in my residence started to feel a little unwell last night. Please help me go and have a look."
"At this time?" He and Qingguan have made an appointment!
"Don't you have to look at the almanac to find a good and auspicious day to see a doctor?" Zhao Jingyan's face gradually darkened.
Outmatched!
Liu Zhaoyu grinded his back molars, forced himself to agree, and ran back to Qingguan to explain a few words.
Zhao Jingyan said "hmm", took two steps forward, and narrowed her eyes with a smile: "Wan Wan, get in the car quickly, don't waste time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two people over there were shocked and angry, with different expressions.
Zhao Jingyan stepped forward, took the cloak from Yinzhen, and put it on Gu Qingwan's shoulders. Then she lowered her head, tied a knot lightly with her fingers, and said with a doting look on her face: "Let's go, don't let Hongwen wait. ”
Liu Zhaoyu watched in stunned silence as the two people boarded the same carriage. He was stunned for a long time, still confused.
King Shou...he...
Gu Qingwan... is obviously... the seventh master's...
This... this... what's going on...
No one knew how Gu Qingguan was feeling at the moment. She wanted to rush up to him, bite his neck, and suck out the blood; she also wanted to slap that peach-filled face.
In public, this guy actually acted like this. Sooner or later, her great reputation will be destroyed in his hands.
Unfortunately, Zhao Jingyan didn't wait for her to make any move. She lowered her face and said seriously, "Help me analyze something."
Qingguan was startled by the solemn look on his face, and asked innocently: "What's the matter?"
"Do you know why something happened to Zhang Hua last night?"
Qingguan narrowed her eyes, "Didn't we agree on this?"
Adding medicine to the wine made him excited, and looking for someone to fight against him made him suffer repeatedly. When the medicine took full effect, Wanhua Tower was used as a trigger to drive him crazy.
"Last night, Cheng Yaojin showed up on the way!"
"What do you mean?"
A hint of anger appeared on Zhao Jingyan's handsome face, "The person we arranged had no time to call the price, and another person took the lead."
"who?"
"Zhao Jinghuan?"
"Who?" Qingguan was slightly surprised. This name sounded like it belonged to a royal family, but there had never been such a number one person among the princes.
Zhao Jingyan smiled bitterly, leaned forward slightly, and came out one by one.
After listening to this, Qingguan frowned and thought deeply. Thinking about the moving part, she habitually touched her lips with her fingers a few times.
With skin like ice and snow, red lips like roses, green jade hands, and fragrant hair, Zhao Jingyan looked at her.
After a while, Gu Qingguan's eyes lit up and he said, "Did he really just enter Beijing yesterday?"
"I asked Ah Li to check, and it turns out that he has just arrived in Beijing." Zhao Jingyan leaned closer to her without leaving any trace, trying to make the faint fragrance of her hair smell clearer.
