Chapter 231 Brother, Let Go
Chapter 231 Brother, Let Go
Su Peisheng came back to report to his master. The Fourth Master was very upset. This guy was sometimes very brave and sometimes very cowardly. Why should he kill a descendant of the miracle doctor who was loyal to him?
The Fourth Master asked Su Peisheng to look after Li, and he went to Wang Jue's residence in person. He skillfully took a yellow pill from Wang Jue's medicine cabinet and gave it to Wang Jue.
Wang Jue woke up hazily and looked at the Fourth Master standing in front of his window. He then huddled in a corner of the bed and said, "Fourth Master, I... I don't know anything. You promised Master that you would let me die of old age!" He had already drugged himself and fallen asleep, so why did he come in person?
Are you here personally to kill and silence the witnesses?
Why is he so annoying? He has given in like this? He even promised to assist him for the rest of his life!
The Fourth Master's face darkened. "Go and treat Li's wound. What are you thinking about all day? Weren't you very brave enough to drug me before?" Where is the courage?
Wang Jue heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that he would not be murdered, and hurried down to regain his courage, "Master was still here at that time, and I didn't know that everyone in your palace was so... sinister and cruel!"
After seeing too many deaths, with people dying and killing each other at every turn, Wang Jue felt that it was okay for him to become a coward, as it was all for his own life!
Wang Jue put on his clothes and thought of Li, "Hehehehe...what kind of Li does the Fourth Master want?"
"The child is fine. After the child is born, it will be without a mother." The Fourth Master looked at Wang Jue, "Before that, I don't want to hear any word about Li spread out of her courtyard. You will be responsible for her personally until she gives birth to the child."
"Will someone help?" Wang Jue knew that the Fourth Master wanted to kill Li, so that would be easy. It is difficult to cure a living person but easy to do it to a dead person. He is very good at it!
"I will arrange for someone, you can use them. Remember, those people I give you will not leave that yard," the Fourth Master said to Wang Jue with cold eyes, "If they leave the yard, you will be dead. What I want is that only you and the child leave this yard in the end. If there are others, then you must not leave!"
Wang Jue shuddered, "Don't worry, Fourth Master. My life is the most important thing. There will be no mistakes, absolutely not!"
Wang Jue ran away quickly with the medicine box. The Fourth Master shook his head behind him. Although Wang Jue was a little timid and talkative, he was indeed very much to his liking. This was also his promise to his master that as long as Wang Jue did not betray him, he would support him until his death!
The Fourth Master went back to the main courtyard and saw his wife sitting in the main hall, waiting for him. He hurriedly ran a few steps. When she heard his voice, she woke up quickly and stood up to greet him, "But is there something wrong with Li? Is the child okay?"
"It's okay. I'm here for everything. Li won't affect anyone in the future. She just needs to follow the share of concubines. But if Wang Jue needs anything, concubines just need to approve it," the fourth master held concubines' hand, "you too, I'm out to do things, why do you have to wait for me to rest?"
The Fourth Lady yawned, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh. Mingyin wants to wait for me. I once said that when I went to Yonghe Palace, mother and fourteen had already eaten and didn't wait for me. Mingyin always remembered it, so as long as I don't come back, Mingyin wants to wait for me, unless it is confirmed that I will stay in another courtyard."
The Fourth Master pulled the Fourth Lady to sit on the bed. The Fourth Master's eyes were a little red. He looked at the Fourth Lady deeply and suddenly hugged her. He didn't say anything, but just hugged her tightly...
The next day, the court officials had a heated discussion about the Ninth Prince's open comments about the Empress Dowager. After the princes' thorough investigation yesterday, with the help of Wen Yao, they had sorted out all the circumstances and successfully pinned the blame on Su Malagu. As for what the court officials thought, no one knew.
On the surface, everyone accepted the result, and Su Malagu was directly executed by being cut into pieces, and Korchin was held accountable.
The Empress Dowager of the Cining Palace went to Mount Wutai to pray for Empress Xiaokangzhang and to atone for her negligence and guilt. As for whether the Empress Dowager did it voluntarily, who cares? After all, Korchin couldn't even protect itself!
Concubine Xuan in the palace did not say anything. After hearing this, she just smiled softly and continued to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, hoping to be a cow or a horse in the next life instead of a woman!
When the Empress Dowager left, Wen Yao came to see her off, and brought many snacks, each of which was packed, as well as some small change and copper coins. Wen Yao leaned close to the Empress Dowager's ear and whispered, "If you have a chance, you can go out for a walk. It's much better than staying in the palace."
The Empress Dowager looked at Wen Yao with complicated eyes, and finally felt relieved. This child has always been so innocent. The resentment in her heart seemed to disappear completely. The Empress Dowager thought for a moment, took out something from her bosom and stuffed it into Wen Yao's hand. She lowered her voice and said, "This is the last person the Grand Empress Dowager left for me. This time it's my fault. This is my compensation for you."
After saying this, the Queen Mother didn't say anything else, nor did she greet anyone. Everyone was insincere, except Wen Yao, who was truly doing it for her. The Queen Mother could see it clearly, and she was willing to give away this last connection.
After the Queen Mother left, Wen Yao waited until she could no longer see the Queen Mother's men. Then the Fifth Lady beside her patted Wen Yao on the shoulder and said, "Are you still not going back? What did you say to the Royal Madam? How dare you get close to the Royal Madam at this time?"
"Why can't I get closer?" Wen Yao smiled brightly, "The Royal Madam is still our elder, we should respect her. Let's go back to the palace."
Wen Yao said nothing more and held the token given to her by the Queen Mother tightly in her hand. She had no intention of keeping it. This thing was a hot potato to her and she couldn't keep it!
Since the decision has been made to cling to Kangxi, Kangxi must not be allowed to have any suspicion, and this token must be handed over to Kangxi.
The Fifth Lady had been following her and wanted to take her to Yikun Palace. Wen Yao smiled and said, "I have something to do. I'll go later."
"What do you want? If you want to deal with account books or something, you can do it anytime," the Fifth Lady looked at Wen Yao and said with a smile. Such a big thing had happened and she had a lot of things she wanted to ask her ninth brother's wife.
"That's not the case. It's the Emperor who wants to summon me. Fifth sister-in-law, you go first. I have to go to the Qianqing Palace," Wen Yao looked at the Fifth Lady and explained it more clearly, then turned around and left quickly.
The Fifth Lady didn't dare to say anything else and went to the Yiku Palace by herself.
Wen Yao quickly came to the Yuehua Gate outside the Qianqing Palace and waited. Only after Zhai Lin brought her the message that Kangxi had summoned her did she follow him in. After all, the Qianqing Palace was not a place that everyone could get close to.
When Wen Yao was walking towards the Qianqing Palace, several courtiers led by Soetu and the third and fourth beile just came out of the Qianqing Palace. Yinzhen was among them. Seeing that Wen Yao was going to see the emperor, Yinzhen quickly followed Wen Yao. Yinzhen also turned around decisively and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by the Prince of Zhi!
Yin looked at his eldest brother in bewilderment, "Brother, let go, I want to go find my ninth brother!"
