Chapter 166 Undercurrents Rage, Targeted Again
Emperor Taihe said calmly, "Her reputation as a miracle doctor was designed by someone with ulterior motives, so don't trust her lightly.
Although the imperial physician said that she treated Luo Zheng's wound very well, this does not prove that she is good at gynecology.
It would be better to let her treat patients in the capital first. If she is really good at gynecology, then let her come to the palace to treat my beloved concubine."
Concubine Jiang quietly clenched her fingers.
She is no longer young, so naturally she hopes to get in shape and get pregnant as soon as possible.
But since Emperor Taihe said so, she had no choice but to obey.
After all, the southern Xinjiang poisonous insect incident happened not long ago, so it is better to be cautious at this time.
Imperial Concubine Jiang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is indeed very thoughtful."
Emperor Taihe comforted her a few more words, then got up and left Huaqing Palace.
Imperial Concubine Jiang personally escorted him to the palace gate. After the man had left, she turned back and instructed a palace servant, "Go tell Luo Zheng to rest and recover from his injuries, and not to worry about anything. As long as he has no other intentions, I will always protect him."
The palace maid immediately took the order and left.
Luo Zheng was currently recuperating from his injuries while he was reading a storybook called "The Strange Dreams of Mandarin Ducks".
Looking at the story inside, he curled his lips in sarcasm, quite satisfied with Xie Xiu's approach.
After the palace maid came in, she immediately conveyed Concubine Jiang's intention.
Then he whispered about the palace maid who had slandered Luo Zheng and died suddenly from being poisoned not long ago.
"Southern Xinjiang Gu worm?" Luo Zheng frowned warily and wanted to ask Feng Xinyi, but suddenly remembered that she was now outside the palace, not in it.
So he said calmly, "Go back and tell Her Majesty that Luo Zhengming is deeply moved and will swear to follow Her Majesty until death. He will never dare to have any other thoughts."
The palace maid then retreated.
After he left, Luo Zheng slowly clenched his fists and smiled like Yama.
What a vicious plan!
They even slandered him forcing palace maids and defiling the harem!
Ah!
He took the risk of being seriously injured this time, and it turned out to be a good bet.
If his injuries are not serious enough, how can we dispel Your Majesty's suspicion?
But from now on, he really needs to take good care of his injuries and not make any unnecessary movements to avoid getting himself into trouble.
Thinking of the danger this time, Luo Zheng took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, picked up the storybook and continued reading.
He couldn't be impatient. He had endured all these years and now was a good time to kill time by reading storybooks.
As for Xu Maochun...I think even if he doesn't take action, Emperor Taihe will not forgive this man.
He was just waiting to see what would happen to this man.
the other side.
Emperor Taihe returned to Chengtian Palace and directly summoned Lu Xuan, the commander of the Black Kirin Guard.
He looked straight at Lu Xuan and suddenly asked, "Lu Xuan, can I trust you?"
Lu Xuan's heart trembled, and he quickly leaned forward respectfully, saying firmly: "Your Majesty, I swear to be loyal to you until death!"
Emperor Taihe then said, "Very well, I will trust you. Go and find out whose son this Xu Maochun is. This time Luo Zheng's attack is related to the Cheng'en Mansion."
Lu Xuan was shocked, but he didn't dare show any strange expression on his face. He just said in a deep voice: "I obey your command!"
Emperor Taihe then warned: "Investigate secretly and don't let anyone know. You are investigating the Cheng'en Mansion."
Lu Xuan became more cautious: "Yes!"
After he left, Emperor Taihe's face darkened, and he half-closed his eyes and said quietly, "You'd better not let me down."
The next morning, Xie Xiu had breakfast with his family as usual, and then took a carriage to the Imperial College.
After arriving, he did not go in directly, but walked into a bookstore outside the Imperial College.
This bookstore was opened by Luo Zheng. It can monitor the Imperial College and make money. Now it also comes in handy for Xie Xiu.
With Xie Xiu's identity, frequent visits to a place like the Treasure Pavilion would obviously arouse suspicion.
The bookstore opened outside the Imperial College was different.
As a student of the Imperial College, it was normal for Xie Xiu to go in and out of the bookstore.
He doesn't just go into this bookstore, he also often visits other nearby bookstores.
The reason he came here today was to see if Luo Zheng had arranged for someone to deliver a message to him.
When Luo Zheng entered Beijing yesterday, it was almost evening.
Xie Xiu also returned home from the Imperial College.
If you come to a bookstore, it's bound to be a little suspicious.
That's why he came this morning.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the bookstore, the clerk inside immediately came up to him and said, "Mr. Xie, there are some problems with the book you copied last time. Please come upstairs with me and take a look at it yourself."
When Xie Xiu heard this, he knew that the other party really had something to say to him, so he followed him to the private room upstairs.
Sure enough, after the waiter took him into the private room, he handed him a small scroll and asked him to burn it immediately after reading it.
Xie Xiu opened it and saw that the handwriting on the paper was Luo Zheng's.
However, Luo Zheng didn't say much. He simply said that he was injured and is recovering well now, so he doesn't need to worry.
Later, Luo Zheng wrote about his meeting with Xie Jia this time.
Just as Xie Xiu guessed yesterday, Xie Jia and Pei Rong deliberately appeared in front of the Black Kirin Guards, claiming that Xie Jia was first taken out of the capital by kidnappers and then rescued by Pei Rong.
The two were worried that the kidnappers would catch up with them, so they asked to follow the Black Kirin Guards back to the capital.
After Luo Zheng knew Xie Jia's identity, he guessed that the two were plotting, so he took advantage of the situation, brought them back to the capital, and deliberately helped them spread the news.
Not only that, Pei Rong is also a juren, handsome and extraordinary, and is preparing to take part in the spring examination next year.
After reading it, Xie Xiu burned the paper and completely understood Pei Rong's plan.
This man was a juren, but he eloped with Xie Jia. It was obvious that he came from an ordinary family, but he was ambitious. However, he had no guarantee of passing the imperial examination next spring.
Otherwise, if he could pass the imperial examination, with his good looks, it would not be difficult for him to marry a noble lady even if his family background was ordinary.
Why resort to such dishonorable means and take such huge risks to abduct Xie Jia and elope?
Xie Xiu thought about it and decided to find an opportunity to meet Pei Rong in person and find out more about this man.
Unexpectedly, before he went to find the other party, the other party took the initiative to find him.
As Xie Xiu came out of the bookstore, he saw a young and handsome man suddenly look at him intently, then stride towards him.
Xie Xiu raised his eyebrows and almost immediately guessed the identity of this person.
Sure enough, the man strode up to him, bowed, and then asked with concern, "Are you the eldest son of Master Xie?"
Xie Xiu raised an eyebrow: "How do you know that I am the eldest son of Master Xie?"
Pei Rong smiled casually, "I heard that Scholar Xie has three sons in the Imperial College. The eldest son is particularly fond of visiting bookstores and is about the same age as you. Moreover, you look a bit like the second Miss Xie."
When Xie Xiu heard this person actually say that he and Xie Jia looked similar, he felt disgusted.
However, he didn't show it on his face, and only pretended to be surprised and asked, "I wonder who you are, and what do you want from me?"
Pei Rong immediately asked with concern, "I'm Pei Rong. I sent the second young lady back home yesterday. I wonder if she's doing well at home?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Xiu couldn't help but look at Pei Rong deeply, with murderous intent in his heart: He had clearly deliberately avoided these two people and didn't meet them on the way back to Beijing, but this man still targeted him and wanted to use him as a springboard.
Do you think he is easy to bully because he is the son of the original wife?
In that case, how could he let down the other party's "kindness"? Naturally, he had to return the favor!
