Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Old Master Tang stared at him, and asked after a long while, "Gu Gong thinks who in the palace is the best to investigate?"

"Of course it's the empress." Gu Zhong said without hesitation: "The empress is the master of the harem, is there anyone more suitable than her?"

Old Master Tang nodded slightly, turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly turned around to look at Gu Zhong, "Eunuch Gu, what else can you say?"

Gu Zhong paused and said: "Our family has served His Majesty all our lives, and we only miss His Majesty in our hearts. I don't know if we can walk out of Dali Temple alive, but we still want to know the good news about His Majesty."

"If Prime Minister Tang is sympathetic, please ask our apprentices to take a look at His Majesty, come back and learn from me, so that our family can rest assured."

Old Master Tang thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

So Gu Cai, who was locked in another cell, was released. When he was dragged to the execution room to see Gu Zhong, he was terrified, "Godfather, godfather, what's wrong with you..."

Gu Zhong looked at him and said: "Why panic, we are in the palace, why haven't we seen such strong winds and waves?"

He said: "It's the first time you've been away from His Majesty for so long, go back and have a look and see if Lord Zhou has awakened His Majesty, no matter whether you have awakened His Majesty, please come and report me a letter, so that I can know what's going on. Let’s go, feel at ease.”

Gu Cai complied crying and was dragged out.

As soon as Gu Cai left, Jia Qi turned around from another place, turned her head to look at Gu Zhong in the torture room, and said with a sneer, "President Tang is not afraid of letting little ghosts into the world and muddying the water outside?"

Old Master Tang said without changing his face: "If you want to find out the facts quickly, torture alone is not enough. Fishing in muddy water is the skill of catching fish. There are so many officials in Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. People can be blinded casually, right?"

"It's wrong for Prime Minister Tang to believe that he is wrong?"

Old Master Tang turned around and left, throwing his hands behind his back, "I don't believe it, I doubt everyone, including you."

He said: "I also trust everyone, including you. So I only look at the evidence."

The existing evidence seems to be very unfavorable to Gu Zhong on the surface, but Mr. Tang is an expert in criminal cases, and he also sees that there are many evidences that can be falsified, and some things appear too fast, and they get too much. It went well.

Jia Qi didn't speak any more, and followed Old Master Tang to the front hall, waiting for the adults from all ministries to come and interrogate the prisoner together.

Gu Cai was sent back to the palace.

It was late at night when he returned to the palace, and the palace gates had already been locked, but because the emperor was seriously ill, the empress had to keep in touch with the front hall at all times, so an emergency passage was opened for people to enter and exit.

It's a pity that the status of an ancient talent is not enough to walk through this passage, so he leaned sideways inside the palace gate for midnight, waited for the morning bell to ring and the palace gate was unlocked, then he straightened his clothes and hurried through before opening it The palace gate goes to the Tai Chi Hall.

As soon as the bell rang, Zhou Man woke up. She turned her stiff neck and rubbed her arms to look at the emperor on the bed. Seeing that he was still asleep, she stretched out her hand to feel his pulse. Xiao Yuan, who woke up and walked this way, shook his head.

Xiao Yuanzheng didn't believe in evil, stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's time to get up."

The emperor didn't even frown.

Xiao Yuanzheng: "It will be too late to go to court again."

Zhou Man immediately sat up straight on the couch, lay down on the bed and looked carefully, "Look, did he frown?"

Xiao Yuan was looking carefully, and was also pleasantly surprised, "It seems to be true."

The two immediately continued their efforts, one said: "Your Majesty, listen, the morning bell is ringing, and I really can't make it in time to go to court."

One said: "Hundreds of officials are waiting for you, a lot of papers are piled up on the case."

The emperor's brows tightened, Zhou Man and Xiao Yuan were very excited watching, they said excitedly: "It's useful, continue, continue."

But no matter what they said next, the emperor just frowned, just didn't wake up, and even relaxed his brows slowly, as if he had reacted too much at the beginning.

Zhou Man and Xiao Yuan stopped slowly, watching with regret, "Forget it, let him sleep again."

There was a sound from outside, a big court lady stepped in quickly, bowed and said: "Master Zhou, Yuanzheng Xiao, Master Xiaogu is here, can you tell him to come in?"

Xiao Yuan was puzzled, "What is he doing here?" And why did he report it to him?

"It is on behalf of the ancient adults to come to see His Majesty."

Zhou Man said quickly, "Please invite him in."

Gu Cai came in with his head down, he went back to his room first and changed into clean clothes, and combed his hair again, looking refreshed now, he walked to the dragon bed with small steps, knelt down and met with Xiao Yuan Man kowtowed, and said in a low voice: "Tang Xiang sent the servants into the palace to take a look at His Majesty for Lord Gu."

Xiao Yuan was frowning.

Zhou Man stepped aside and said, "Look."

Xiao Yuanzheng and Gu Cai: ...

Gu Cai raised his head after a pause, his eyes quickly swept across the bed, he didn't dare to look directly at Sheng Yan, his eyes mainly fell on Zhou Man, but he just lowered his head after taking a look, "Master Zhou please tell me His majesty's illness, it's better to go back and answer, so that Mr. Gu can feel at ease."

Zhou Man sighed and said, "Not much has changed, she is still unconscious."

Gu Cai was a little anxious, "Is there no way my lord can save His Majesty?"

Zhou Man and Xiao Yuan were looking at each other, but they actually did.

Not only she has it, but Xiao Yuanzheng also has it. I really want to wake up the sleeping person, as long as the other party is not a living dead, it is possible.

But the price of insisting on waking people up is also high, and it is not a matter of life and death. If the emperor's entire dynasty is not awakened, how can they make such a bet with the emperor's life?

This kind of acupuncture that can wake people up but send them away is called life-death acupuncture. Once the needle is inserted, the person wakes up, pulls it out, and dies soon after.

This is also one of the unspeakable rules of the Tai Hospital, and life and death needles are not used unless it is absolutely necessary.

So Zhou Man shook his head directly, "There is no good solution for now."

Gu Cai wiped his tears and began to cry. Zhou Man saw the bloodstains on the back of his hand. She frowned slightly and simply got up, "Your Majesty is still sleeping, you should go first."

After all, he also went out.

Gu Cai remembered the purpose of this trip and hurriedly got up to follow.

When he got outside, Gu Cai nervously looked left and right, Zhou Man said without a word: "Don't look around, it's not the first time you've worked in the palace, you're more familiar with this Tai Chi Hall than I am, and now it's the empress who is in charge of it, so you can avoid it." Where are you going? Tell me if you have anything to say."

Really hiding, but more suspicious.

Gu Cai then knelt on the ground with a thud and said: "I beg Mr. Zhou to save godfather, he is really wronged."

He wiped his tears and said: "Back then, my godfather and I did take advantage of Liu Meiren, but it was only for her to meet His Majesty. We didn't do anything else."

Zhou Man is still confused until now, and asked: "Who is Beauty Liu? Your Majesty has been sick all this time, and I have been guarding it all the time. I haven't seen any beauties."

In addition to the empress, several high-ranking concubines came to see the emperor from time to time, but she was there most of the time, just sitting and chatting, talking about children, and recalling the past, nothing happened Happened.

"It's not something that happened recently, it was something that happened five years ago."

There was something wrong with the timeline last night, I looked back and skipped in the middle, so it should be five years
