Chapter 299: Have diarrhea, Lord Cheng'en!
After Duke Cheng'en was forked out, His Majesty left the Qinzheng Hall and returned to his bedroom to bathe and change clothes.
Hua Zisheng conveyed the emperor's oral order and the court was dismissed early, and everyone went back to cleanse themselves of the bad luck.
Gu Shaoyu stood in the first row of officials in the court, close to Duke Cheng'en, so he always felt that the smell was on his body. He returned to Qingpu Garden, washed several times in the bathroom, changed into new clothes, and then went to the island in the middle of the lake.
Xie Zhaozhao was surprised to see him coming back so early: "Why are you back so early?"
Gu Shaoyu then told her about the ugly scene in the court, with a smile on his face: "Duke Cheng'en was expelled from the palace and is not allowed to enter the palace without an imperial edict."
Xie Zhaozhao found it very funny and covered his mouth while laughing.
Thinking of Lu Feiyan's words, he told Gu Shaoyu: "Gu Shaoyu, there is a little girl who said that she did all this. Do you believe it?"
Tell Gu Shaoyu everything about meeting Lu Feiyan at the candy ball shop today.
Originally, she thought Lu Feiyan was talking nonsense. After all, it was almost impossible for a girl who looked so young to hurt Lord Cheng En.
Although Lord Cheng'en is hateful, he is indeed a character.
He went to the battlefield to kill enemies at the age of fifteen, and later became a prime minister. He was a man of both civil and military talents.
Not to mention, under his planning, the Wei family produced two generations of queens, and the Wei family gradually flourished and became a giant.
The title of Duke Cheng'en was not simply because he was the emperor's father-in-law. If one were to judge based on his ability, he deserved the title of Duke.
Otherwise, Emperor Xian and Emperor Hui would not have continued to endure.
Lu Feiyan versus Cheng En Gong is like an egg versus a mountain of stone.
Hearing that Lord Cheng'en had made such a fool of himself in the court, it seemed that Lu Feiyan was indeed highly capable of controlling poison.
She poisoned Lord Cheng'en in a secret way.
However, Lu Feiyan is, after all, a young girl who is ignorant of the ways of the world. If Cheng Engong is found to be poisoned, it is entirely possible that he will find Lu Feiyan after checking one by one.
She immediately called Yuanyuan over and said, "Contact Xie Rongyu right away. I have something to talk to him about."
Yuanyuan went to release the robins, and Gu Shaoyu stared at her intently.
Xie Zhaozhao asked curiously: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"That little girl's medical skills are very good?"
"Well, Manman said that she is better than the doctor in Yuqing Hall."
"She said you were pregnant?"
Hmm, this person's focus is indeed different.
Xie Zhaozhao said uncertainly: "She looked at me and said that I might be pregnant. My period was indeed delayed, but it was short, so I can't be sure if I am pregnant."
Gu Shaoyu walked out the door and found Aunt Cui busy in the front yard. He said, "Aunt Cui, go to Jiangnan to pick up Uncle Chai and Aunt Chai."
Aunt Cui said excitedly, "Great. Is the Madam pregnant?"
Gu Shaoyu didn't answer directly, but just said: "Ask Nanxing to arrange two people to escort you to pick up the person."
He returned to the Peony Garden and explained to Xie Zhaozhao: "Aunt Chai and Uncle Chai are doctors I knew when I was a child. They are both devoted to medicine and are famous local doctors. I feel most at ease with them taking care of you."
After the two of them arranged their own people, Gu Shaoyu asked Xie Zhaozhao again: "Will the Cheng'en Guild poison be released once a day?"
"Yes, Lu Feiyan said that the poison will take effect at the same time every day, and it should last for ten days."
"So, you have abdominal pain and diarrhea every day for ten consecutive days?"
"Yes."
There are still four days before the Empress Dowager's funeral, and Duke Cheng'en will not be able to recover before that.
"Zhao Zhao, you go ahead and do your work. I have to go to the palace once more to report this situation to His Majesty." Now that Lu Feiyan's poison technique has been confirmed, he and His Majesty must make good use of it.
Not long after Gu Shaoyu left the mansion, Xie Rongyu quickly entered the island in the middle of Qingpu Garden Lake from the hidden door on the west side.
"Master, do you have something to talk to me about?" Xie Rongyu had been studying in the intelligence camp for more than a year, and his entire temperament had changed.
Xie Zhaozhao looked at him and was very satisfied.
"The new seller Lu Feiyan has come to the sugar ball shop in West City. He seems to be very good at medicine and poison. You should take good care of him."
"it is good."
"A few days ago, Lord Cheng'en wanted to force her to be his concubine. She was furious and poisoned Lord Cheng'en. Today, the poison took effect and Lord Cheng'en made a fool of himself in the court. I'm afraid that the poison will be recognized by an expert. You should quickly arrange for her to hide."
Xie Rongyu immediately became furious. Lu Feiyan was young, while Lord Cheng'en was in his 80s, yet he was still lustful and even had his eyes on her. How shameless!
Xie Zhaozhao said: "Lu Feiyan is a talented person. Although I admire her, I don't know her background. You arranged for her to avoid the clutches of Lord Cheng'en. In addition, you helped her find her brother. She owes us a favor, so she should be able to distinguish between gratitude and resentment."
Xie Rongyu replied: "Okay, I will arrange it right away."
"Xie Rongyu, I intend to build an information center and give it to you to manage. You should seize the time to study and recruit a group of people to work with you."
"My four sugar ball shops are the contact points. Each shop selects a suitable intelligence officer, and the information is collected here every day. I will compile it into a book and select the information that is useful to the master and give it to Sister Yuanyuan."
In the palace.
The Qinzheng Hall has been wiped countless times.
Originally, the Ministry of Rites suggested dismantling the floor of the Qinzheng Hall and re-laying the tiles, but after Lord Gu left, His Majesty asked Hua Zisheng to convey an oral instruction, saying that the floor should not be wasted and the work should be simply wiped clean.
Ever since Cheng'en Gong was expelled from the palace, the Queen has been apologizing outside the Imperial Study. Even when it got dark, she was still standing outside the Imperial Study waiting for an audience.
The prince also entered the palace and knelt outside the imperial study, begging His Majesty to forgive Duke Cheng'en.
Now, he looks no different from a living ghost, so thin that his cheeks and cheekbones are prominent.
He had just taken the panacea and was in high spirits. Although he was kneeling outside the imperial study in the cold weather, he felt that he had become the emperor. Prince Qi and Prince Jin both knelt before him, begging for his forgiveness.
So he knelt with a smile on his face.
Fortunately, it was night and no one could see clearly, otherwise, His Majesty would have been furious.
At the end of the hour of Xu, the weather was freezing cold, and His Majesty finally asked Hua Zisheng to pass on the message: "The Queen, please go back, and the Crown Prince should also keep vigil for the Queen Mother. Tomorrow, Duke Xuan Chengen will enter the palace to discuss the Queen Mother's funeral."
The queen shook her body, then immediately knelt down and thanked the emperor loudly.
Jin Ge supported the Queen and moved step by step back to the Central Palace. The Prince also returned to the funeral hall.
The Queen immediately sent someone to inform Duke Cheng'en to enter the palace the next day.
Duke Cheng'en behaved disrespectfully in front of the palace. According to Daqian law, beheading, property confiscation, and exile are all normal. However, His Majesty did not order the punishment of Duke Cheng'en, and asked him to come to the palace tomorrow to discuss the empress dowager's funeral. This shows that the emperor raised him high and put him down gently.
Duke Cheng'en escaped from danger.
That night, the Queen ordered the off-duty imperial physician to go to Duke Cheng'en's residence and examine him again and again to confirm that he was in good health.
The next day, Duke Cheng'en put on his official uniform, and Zhu Tou drove the car, with guards clearing the way, and they entered the palace.
He felt traumatized and tied up the legs of his cotton trousers with ropes. Even if he had diarrhea, it would only stay inside his trousers to prevent it from leaking out again.
Before going to court, he consulted the imperial physician again to confirm that he was fine, then cheered himself up and went to court.
Unexpectedly, before he even reached the Qinzheng Hall, the familiar abdominal pain came as expected, and he curled himself up into a ball in pain.
The imperial physician tried his best to give him some painkillers, but they were of no use. He was in pain for half an hour before the pain gradually subsided.
They are not fools. The pain came suddenly and was extremely regular.
He is not sick, he is poisoned!
