life in a hurry

In the room, Lu Ding exchanged pleasantries for a while, then got up to say goodbye.

Chen Feiqing didn't follow her away, but followed Fu Nansheng and Gou Er to another roof and continued to lie on her stomach.

He heard Fu Nansheng say to Gou Er in a low voice: "I think the guards outside are indeed coming for me. You go and find out if something serious happened in Beijing. Then go find a way to find out about the little prince. He is now in Anguo If the Houfu doesn't come out, the Eldest Prince is in a hurry to ask, and he always wants to give an answer."

Goer said, "Yes."

Fu Nansheng sighed, and said: "But don't act too hastily, the security of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion is as strict as that of the imperial palace, so don't startle the snake."

Goer asked, "If there is an opportunity, do you want to do it?"

Fu Nansheng pondered for a while, and said: "No. Although the eldest prince is eager to seize the throne, he doesn't want to kill the little prince. At least, it can't be you and me. Unless the person who killed him is King Ning."

Chen Feiqing frowned.

Although Fu Nansheng has said many times that he is now working for the country of Mo, it is inevitable that there will be some conflicts, but these days, he always tends to the Central Plains, so Chen Feiqing feels a little uncomfortable when he hears these things at first.

He thought for a while, but was relieved.It is also Fu Nansheng's choice to be their masters, and Fu Nansheng cannot be forced to defect from the Mo country.

Just listening to the meaning of Fu Nansheng's words, it seems that he wants to kill the little prince and blame King Ning.

But he also said that the eldest prince didn't want the little prince's life, so why did Fu Nansheng do it without his will?

Those peace factions who were assassinated in the city of King Namo also put the blame on King Ning. Could it be that Fu Nansheng and Gouer were also responsible for it?

Chen Feiqing thought quickly.

Fu Nansheng and Gou Er stopped talking about these things in the room. Gou Er twisted the veil to wipe Fu Nansheng's face, and said, "You haven't taken medicine for half a month. Take one tonight."

Fu Nansheng responded.

Chen Feiqing was about to leave, but suddenly stopped there, and smelled it seriously, the smell was very familiar, it was the smell of corpse oil.The smell of this corpse oil is very faint at first glance, but if you smell it carefully, you will find that it is very long-lasting, but it is actually a very strong smell, which can linger for a long distance without stopping.

He looked in through the cracks in the tiles, and saw Gouer pouring a glass of water for Fu Nansheng, and handing Fu Nansheng the pills in the small porcelain bottle in his hand.

Fu Nansheng took the pill, but hesitated.

Gour asked, "What's wrong?"

Fu Nansheng said: "It's okay, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable every time I take this pill."

Goer said: "This is a blood-activating pill. Although your leg cannot be cured for the time being, at least don't let it become rigid."

Fu Nansheng nodded, swallowed the pill, drank some water, then lay back on the bed, covered his eyes with the quilt and rested.

The smell of corpse oil gradually disappeared, and Gou Er stood by the bed, looking at Fu Nansheng expressionlessly.

Fu Nansheng couldn't see with his eyes closed, but Chen Feiqing saw Gou Er's gloomy and unpredictable expression in the flickering candlelight.

Chen Feiqing froze there, clenched his hands unconsciously.

The emperor gradually recovered under the care of the imperial physician, and the person Chen Feiqing sent to monitor the post also came back to report the situation: "I have checked the ink used by Fu Nansheng on weekdays, and it does have that smell."

Chen Feiqing asked: "Don't Fu Nansheng feel that there is something wrong?"

That night, he watched Gouer feed Fu Nansheng an unknown pill that smelled like corpse oil, and told Fu Nansheng that it was a medicine for promoting blood circulation.If Fu Nansheng was really only deceived by Goer, then it was impossible for him not to suspect that the ink also had the same taste.

The smell of corpse oil is not offensive, and even has a strange faint fragrance, but it is a strange smell after all. Fu Nansheng grew up in the powder pile since he was a child, so it is impossible not to notice it.

Therefore, Chen Feiqing was still not sure whether he should doubt Fu Nansheng or not.

The subordinate said: "He didn't ask much, he seems to be used to it."

Chen Feiqing's heart sank slightly, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Where did the ink come from?"

The subordinate said: "Gou Er ground it, and he added something to the inkstone."

Chen Feiqing was startled: "What did you add?"

The subordinate said: "It is the thing with the smell that you asked the subordinate to check."

Chen Feiqing asked: "Does Fu Nansheng know?"

The subordinate said: "I should know that Goer sometimes pours it in front of him."

Chen Feiqing asked again: "Fu Nansheng has no doubts?"

The subordinate said: "No, he is used to it."

Chen Feiqing waved his hand: "I see, you continue to stare."

The subordinate nodded and backed out.

Chen Feiqing felt that there must be doubts about this matter. It seemed that Fu Nansheng was innocent that night. He only regarded the smell as an ordinary medicine for invigorating blood. Would there be any doubt?

After thinking about it, Chen Feiqing finally figured it out again.Even if Fu Nan was suspicious, he might have asked the question a long time ago. If he asked suddenly now, it would be deliberate, as if he deliberately wanted to get rid of the suspicion.

Thinking of this, Chen Feiqing felt better.

But anyway, he wanted to know the truth, but he couldn't figure out how to get to it.Do you want to ask Fu Nansheng directly?

Chen Feiqing shook his head.

Perhaps both King Ning and Lu Ding were right. He had put too much thought into Fu Nansheng's affairs, but now that this matter was out of his control, these thoughts seemed a little inexplicable.

Just when everyone was silent on the surface, the princess did something. She ran to the Queen Mother and begged for the dissolution of the engagement.

Of course the Empress Dowager refused, and she resolutely refused.

The princess didn't expect that she would persist like this. She was in a hurry and threatened with a hunger strike.

The Empress Dowager was worrying about the emperor's affairs, and she was angry at the princess's fuss, and said in front of the palace eunuchs and eunuchs: "Let her die! Whoever dares to give her food, Aijia will let anyone die with her! "

The princess panicked all of a sudden, but she was also forced to go up Liangshan and couldn't get down, so she had to bite the bullet and go on a hunger strike.But she was raised in rich clothes and fine food since she was a child, and she fainted after only one day.

The emperor was just getting better, he was just able to get up and walk around, when he heard the news, he almost fainted on the spot.

He stabilized himself and invited the queen mother to intercede for the princess.

But the Queen Mother still insisted, she retreated from the idlers, and persuaded him earnestly: "Ting'er has always been very good, but now she dares to do this, I am afraid that someone is instigating her. Ai's family also asked, she seems to be very fond of that Jiang Lingzi. I have a good impression. Your Majesty, the Ai family thinks that this person cannot be kept."

The emperor smiled and said: "Ting'er also talked about this matter with me. She didn't do it for Fu Nansheng, and I told her very clearly that I would not agree to her and Fu Nansheng's affairs. I'm afraid it's just that she made such a fuss. For her own sake, but also for my sake. She has misunderstood Fei Qing and me, and she refuses to listen to my explanation."

The queen mother smiled instead: "It is a good thing that the emperor and Fei Qing are close. After all, An Guohou has a lot of troops in his hands. He and King Ning are indispensable. Without anyone, the court will not be peaceful or stable. But the emperor It's true that we got too close to Fei Qing, Ting'er is innocent, she can easily believe what outsiders say, and it's not good for people to say those words too much."

The emperor said: "Those words are funny to me, just don't believe the queen mother."

The Empress Dowager's gaze was somewhat meaningful, and she said after a while, "Let's not talk about Feiqing, let's talk about that Jianglingzi."

The emperor said: "I have thought about the corpse oil, if it is said that Jiang Lingzi did it, it would be too easy to be caught."

The Queen Mother said: "Maybe it was deliberately made to make people feel that way."

The emperor nodded: "The queen mother is right, I won't have any more contact with him in the future."

The Queen Mother asked: "That's it?"

The emperor said: "He is an official of the Mo country, and I can only do this now."

The Empress Dowager twirled a fruit and said, "The emperor was very affectionate with him some time ago, why?"

The emperor was startled, but soon recovered his normal expression, and said with a smile: "I used to hear the emperor's uncle, Fei Qing and even Ting'er always mentioned him, and thought this person was very interesting, and I saw that he was really beautiful, and his speech was also interesting. , just to pass the time."

The queen mother returned to the palace, the more she thought about it, the more her forehead hurt.

Seeing her like this, the nanny who had been with her for many years turned away, pressed her forehead for her, and waited for her to speak.

Sure enough, not long after, the Empress Dowager sighed and asked: "The last time I asked you to investigate, how did the investigation go?"

The nanny said in a low voice: "Young master is indeed secretly visiting flower streets in various places, hoping to find a fireworks girl who is about forty years old."

The queen mother sneered: "The Ai family does everything for this son, but he has always wanted to dismantle his own mother's stage since he was a child. Sometimes he really doubts whether he has hugged him wrong."

The mother comforted her: "The emperor has been kind since he was a child, and he is also filial to you. You must not say that."

The Empress Dowager sighed again: "If he is really filial, why bother to go to the late emperor—" She paused, and said, "Have you found out the details of that Jiangling son?"

Nanny said: "I checked, and it doesn't look like the person the emperor is looking for."

The Queen Mother asked sharply, "It doesn't look like it?"

Mammy hesitated for a moment: "The servant also guessed. Although the age is about the same, but I can't find anything wrong. Jianglingzi's mother is indeed from Huajie, and Jianglingzi's father is indeed unknown, but sent someone to I checked his mother, she is just an ordinary old whore, there is nothing suspicious about her."

The queen mother squinted her eyes, tapped the table lightly, and said: "But that son of the Ai family looks amiable, but he is not easy to get close to people. Do you really think he wants Jiang Lingzi to sleep?"

Mammy hesitated and said, "This servant dare not speculate."

The Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family gave birth to him and raised him after all. He was really obsessed with sex for a while or he had other plans. The mother can still see it. You can ask someone to investigate again and find out that Jiang Lingzi and him Find out everything about your mother, what the emperor can find out, the Ai family will also find out, and what the emperor can't find out, the Ai family will also find out!"

Mammy said yes.
