The next day, Su Rong wore a white fox fur cloak and went directly to the palace.
She had the token in her hand, so she could enter the palace unimpeded, but she still went to the imperial study room to see the emperor first.
When she went there, she happened to catch up with the emperor who had just left the morning court. After being informed that she had entered the palace, she left several courtiers aside and invited her in first.
Most of the courtiers have never seen Su Rong, only a few have seen her.
The few people outside the imperial study today have never seen Su Rong. Now they see a little girl wearing a white fox fur cloak with a very beautiful face. She looks so soft and frail. It is hard to imagine. , she is the legendary concubine of Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion, no, the daughter of Princess Zhenmin, it is said that she is the princess of Nanchu.
When Su Rong walked by, the courtiers looked at each other and silently bowed their hands to her.
Su Rong sighed in her heart that the courtiers in Daliang were all very kind. She smiled at a few of them and followed the little eunuch into the imperial study.
In the imperial study, the emperor sat in front of the jade case.
Su Rong greeted the emperor, "Uncle."
The emperor was very happy that she called her that. He smiled and waved for her to sit down, and asked in a particularly kind manner: "But something happened? Otherwise, why would you come to the palace again?"
Su Rong nodded and said bluntly: "There is something wrong. Prince Ruian fell ill. I am the only one who can investigate the case. I have to take care of all the ladies in the palace and the palace people involved." Once again.”
The emperor suddenly realized, "I heard that King Ruian is seriously ill?"
"I didn't see it, it must be serious, right? After all, I asked Dr. Xu to prescribe the antipyretic prescription I once prescribed to Zhou Gu." Su Rong said: "It's snowing and cold, and the prince is old and overworked. It’s not surprising that he fell ill all of a sudden.”
She sighed, "Uncle, you have to hurry up about the scientific examination and release of the results. We still need new officials in the court, otherwise the older ones will have to use them. They will fall ill as soon as they are used. Isn't this a delay?"
The emperor nodded, "Well, I'm already urging you. It's just a matter of the past few days."
Su Rong took the opportunity to inquire about the information about the release of the results, and he knew what was going on. He said to the emperor, "Then I will go first? Can you appoint someone to lead the way?"
The emperor nodded and without saying a word, he waved his hand and pointed casually at a young eunuch on duty.
Su Rong didn't waste any time and followed him, led by the young eunuch.
Su Rong did not go to see the queen immediately, but was led by the young eunuch and went to see Libi first.
Li Concubine fell ill and had a high fever. In just a few days, she no longer looked like a human. Because she was a guilty person, although the emperor sent for a doctor, there was no one to take care of her. Li Concubine was not taken care of well. After taking the medicine, I didn't feel better and my fever didn't go away.
After Su Rong arrived and saw Li Bin's appearance, she thought that if this continued, her life might be taken care of in advance before the case was cleared up.
She took Li Bin's pulse and originally wanted to ask the little eunuch behind her to make some antipyretic medicine for Li Bin, but after thinking about it, she simply reached into her arms and took the antipyretic pills she had brought with her. He took it out and gave it directly to Li Bin to eat.
Concubine Li looked at Su Rong and asked with a flushed face: "Did His Majesty ask you to come and treat me?"
"I'm here to investigate the case. I happened to encounter a fever, so I'll give you a diagnosis and treatment so as not to delay the investigation." Su Rong said bluntly: "I'm afraid Empress Libi doesn't know that the fourth prince expressed his position in the morning the day before yesterday. Your Majesty, please do not decide the case and continue to investigate your case in detail. The fourth prince uses himself as a barrier and would rather die to prove your innocence. Therefore, for the sake of the fourth prince, you cannot die. Once you die, this case will disappear. I must be able to clear your name."
Concubine Li suddenly became excited, "How could the fourth prince... how could he..."
She burst into tears, "I hurt him."
Su Rong pinched the pills and waited for her to calm down. To say that the women in the palace are the most noble people in the world, and also the most pathetic people in the world. Those who have no heirs will place their honor and disgrace on the emperor, and those who have heirs will beware of harm from others.
Li Bin is the most tragic example, because her father and second uncle were involved in such a big case. Obviously, their hearts were not towards him.
Su Rong didn't quite understand how someone who had close relatives, such as her own daughter, nieces, and grandchildren, could still crookedly sell her life to outsiders, and even make her own daughter and grandchildren take the blame for others.
However, the person is dead and has not yet been found out. The case must be investigated before we can know the reason.
It took Libin a while to calm down, and she asked Su Rong with red and swollen eyes: "You, do you believe me?"
Su Rong said: "It's not that I believe it, it's that I think your empress is not that capable."
Libi suddenly laughed miserably, "Yes, how can I have such great ability? Someone really thinks highly of me. This must have been done a long time ago. Just like the former Yushi Zhongcheng Qin Yuan, he was forced to death. He also wanted to force him to death. I."
Su Rong raised her eyebrows, surprised, "Concubine Li also thought of Qin Yuan, the former imperial censor Zhongcheng?"
Libi opened her mouth and said, "Give me the medicine."
Su Rong stuffed it into her mouth.
Libi chewed the medicine hard, took a breath, and said, "It's obvious, isn't it? I'm not really stupid."
Su Rong nodded.
Yes, how many women in the palace are really stupid? If you are really stupid, you will not live with only one concubine, but you will raise a prince.
Li Bin was probably suffering from the pills and coughed for a while. The young eunuch handed her a glass of water. After Su Rong looked at it, he handed it to Li Bin.
Li Bin drank some water, calmed down, and felt better. She leaned on the bed and said to Su Rong, "Whatever you want to ask, just ask!"
Su Rong shook his head, "I won't ask. You can speak for yourself. At this time, you can tell me what you feel is wrong over the years, who is wrong, or who you are holding on to. I'll take a look. Can you find any clues from it?"
Li Bin looked at her and said, "If you say that, that's a lot."
"It doesn't matter, I have plenty of time." Su Rong sat down.
Li Bin did not say anything immediately, but asked her: "How is the Fourth Highness doing now?"
"The Fourth Highness went to beg His Highness the Crown Prince late at night a few days ago and expressed his loyalty to His Highness. His Highness accepted it and promised His Highness the Fourth Highness to help him." Su Rong pointed to herself, "Otherwise, Your Majesty, you, the important suspect, have almost been identified. Do you think you can wait until I come to interrogate you? His Majesty has already convicted you."
Li Bin was quiet for a while and murmured: "So that's it."
She coughed twice more and suddenly smiled, "That's fine. His Royal Highness is a prince with both political integrity and talent. His Highness the Fourth Prince has taken refuge in His Highness. As long as he doesn't make big mistakes and supports His Highness wholeheartedly, when His Highness ascends the throne in the future, he will You can always compete to be a prince."
Su Rong nodded, "It can be said that His Highness is a smart man. Originally, the empress and His Highness were already in a deadlock, but His Highness came to the East Palace door and revived the situation."
After all, if His Highness hadn't come to the door himself, she wouldn't have taken over and continued investigating the case. For her and the prince, as long as the eldest prince and the second prince were defeated and the situation was favorable to His Highness, that would be enough for the time being. As for everything else, His Highness the Crown Prince can take his time, there is no rush in the first place.
"So, I can trust you." Li Bin said softly.
Su Rong nodded, "Your Majesty, you can indeed trust me, and you can only trust me. Apart from me, you can't even see the Fourth Highness, nor can you see the Crown Prince."
She paused and said, "Of course, when King Ruian recovers from his illness, you can see King Ruian in a few days. However, your illness is a bit serious. Are you sure that if this continues, you will be able to see King Ruian alive?" ? Or even if you can see King Ruian alive, can you believe King Ruian? If you believe it, on that day, you will not have the evidence in your hand but dare not show it. "
Li Bin looked at Su Rong in shock and couldn't believe it. She stammered for a moment, "How do you know that I have... evidence in my hand?"
