Rush all the way to the capital city, and then rush to the vicinity of the imperial city.
Peng Liang changed his embrace to carrying him.
He was carrying Lord Di with one hand and his bodyguard badge with the other. He raised his voice, added some internal strength, and shouted: "Master Di has been poisoned, please declare the imperial doctor, declare the imperial doctor!"
The sound spread all the way and soon resounded over the imperial city.
The old emperor, who was taking a nap with his eyes closed, sat up in shock.
She pricked up her ears and listened, then stood up.
Eunuch Su quickly stepped forward to serve him carefully.
The old emperor pushed his hand away and ordered: "Don't worry about me, go and see what's going on? No, the Imperial Hospital is on its way to treat Di Ying. Hurry!"
After saying that, watching Eunuch Su bend down and leave the hall in a hurry, the old emperor slowly stood up and walked to the door of the hall.
He stretched his neck and looked outside, then turned around and walked back.
I felt a little uneasy for no reason, but mostly angry.
Since she came to the throne, she has vigorously taken care of, appointed and promoted her mother's family, the Wu clan. It can be said that she has put all her efforts into it, and even risked the disapproval of the world.
But among them, there were some who were ungrateful and did not know how to restrain themselves. They became more and more arrogant because of her support and wealth.
Just like the four high walls of a courtyard, she worked hard to put up the walls, and those people worked hard to tear them down.
What is the purpose of her extensive efforts to discover and appoint talents over the years?
Isn't it just to plug the holes in the wall that they tore out? But why haven't they finished demolishing it yet?
Don’t you know how hard it is for her to support it? I wonder if the wall collapses and everyone is done playing?
Finally, I met a good hand who felt that he could mend the wall, so he broke it again, and while breaking it, he slapped her, the emperor, on the face.
She was the only one who valued Di Ying. Their claws reached out to Di Ying. This was actually a slap in her face, right? Right?
The old emperor became more and more angry as he thought about it, and stood there with his hands on his hips.
Until Eunuch Su helped Di Ying in.
When the old emperor saw Di Ying's pale complexion, he couldn't help but take a breath.
But seeing that the person was still alive, the old emperor felt a little more at ease.
She stepped forward quickly and asked, "Di Qing, are you okay?"
Di Ying tilted her neck, glanced sideways at His Majesty, lowered her head, and said "hmm".
The old emperor: "...Are you complaining that I said nonsense?"
Di Ying let go of Eunuch Su's hand, shook his hands, bent down, and replied weakly: "I don't dare."
The old emperor: "...Okay, I asked in vain. Then I can ask something useful. How did you get poisoned?"
After asking, he saw Di Ying kneeling down.
The old emperor was shocked.
He tilted his upper body and looked at Di Ying.
I heard him weakly reply: "Your Majesty... I learned that the flowers in the flower room are used to make rouge and gouache for Your Majesty...
Mr. Zuo Shilang's report of missing items in the courtyard was a false report, but in fact what he lost was those delicate flowers. Weichen and Weichen were plotting against His Majesty, so they found an excuse and went to the flower house to check it out in person.
Your Majesty, you don’t know that there are many weeds growing inside such a precious flower, which is used to make such an important tribute.
Wei Chen was worried that they would cause harm to His Majesty because of their neglect... But Wei Chen didn't know those grasses, so he could only try them himself, and he was poisoned. Fortunately, I tried it out. "
Di Ying spoke slowly, covering her heart with her hand, looking at His Majesty with red eyes, full of worry and admiration.
It made the old emperor's heart tremble a little.
She squatted down to help Di Ying up, and grabbed one of his forearms to help him stand firm.
Thinking of the acne that appeared on his face today, the old emperor turned to look at Eunuch Su, his face turned cold.
"Go, the chief and judge of Xuantai Hospital, and ask them to inspect all the rouge and gouache that they have given me as tribute!"
Eunuch Su listened and raised his legs.
When he reached the door, he turned around and reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Di's bodyguard Peng Liang is making a noise in the palace, saying that he wants to find Lord Zuo Shilang to pay for his silver."
"Compensate! Let him pay! Wu Jianhui will have to pay whatever Peng Liang wants!"
The old emperor nodded without hesitation.
When she thought about it: In such a big matter, as long as the money was paid, Wu Jianhui would make a profit. It is estimated that Di Ying did it for the sake of his majesty.
Eunuch Su did not move after hearing this, but continued to report: "But some, some officials are blocking it, accusing Peng Liang of extortion."
"Shit!"
These words made the old emperor's anger suddenly emerge.
"Di Ying tested poison for me. A fourth-rank official in the imperial court personally risked his life to test poison for me. He almost died. So he only asked Wu Jianhui to pay some money. Is this considered extortion?
What do those officials do for food? Is this how you understand the laws of the country? Does it mean that if something happens to me, I can't punish Wu Jianhui anymore? Otherwise it would also become extortion? !
You go and spread my decree: Whoever dares to say this again should get out of Dadu and go to Lingnan to eat bugs! Or, let them be my poison-testing boys and see if they dare! "
Eunuch Su accepted the order and hurried to execute it after saluting.
The old emperor took a deep breath, calmed down his anger, put on a kind face, and took Di Ying to sit on the couch aside.
Just when I was about to ask something, I heard a report from outside the palace: "Yin Wu Desen of Jingzhao Prefecture wants to see you!"
The old emperor's face fell.
"What is he here for? Is he here to plead for Wu Jianhui? Let him get out!"
After drinking, he muttered bitterly: "One or two of them did not do their best for me. If Di Ying hadn't tried the grass poison, would my face have been ruined in their hands? Shouldn't this be the next step? I have lost my life? How dare you come to plead for mercy like this? You still have the nerve to do so!"
When Di Ying heard this, she lowered her head and said nothing.
There was no anger, but the expression on his face was a bit sad. It seems that he is also feeling terrible about the consequences.
The old emperor's liver trembled when he saw it.
What a good official he is. Even if he sacrificed his life for some money and was called extortion, he didn't even get angry. He only thought about himself. When had he ever met such a considerate and good official?
Those...are all people who just want to benefit from themselves, huh!
Just as he was distressed and not angry, he heard Di Ying comforting him: "Your Majesty... Wei Chen voluntarily ate the poisonous weed. As soon as Wei Chen was poisoned, he was taken away from the scene of the accident by Peng Liang.
I'm afraid there is no evidence now.
If you really insist on asking Mr. Zuo Shilang to pay back the money, I'm afraid that without evidence or evidence, you will really be accused by Mr. Zuo Shilang of blackmail.
Don't get angry, Wei Chen doesn't want to cause an ugly scene with Mr. Zuo Shilang, lest Wei Chen fails to solve the case and ends up in an unjust prison. Isn't it just some money? It's because Peng Liang is ignorant and Wei Chen doesn't want it anymore. Your health is important. "
After saying that, Di Ying pursed her lips, feeling extremely aggrieved.
