Chapter 1235 Who stabbed me
The expression on Hu Huai'an's face was also just right, he was neither restless that the sky was about to collapse, nor did he dare to wear an obvious smile, the changes in his facial features were very subtle, and he followed the emperor's expression completely.

Although such a change could not make the emperor have a deeper impression on him, it could effectively prevent the emperor from venting his anger on him.

Just like a chameleon, when the emperor was furious, although he was by the side, he seemed to disappear.

Sure enough, the emperor gasped slightly, and didn't pay extra attention to Hu Huai'an at all.

Hu Huai'an breathed a sigh of relief, but then worry flashed across his face, and he suppressed it forcibly.

"The emperor's body has deteriorated to this point, and the feeling is getting worse and worse." This kind of recognition made Hu Huai'an feel a deep sense of uneasiness in his heart.

However, when his eyes fell on the person kneeling on the ground who was still kowtowing, he felt a contrasting sense of relief.

No matter how bad his situation is in the future, can he still be worse than the current Ma Shunde?
At the beginning, he was envious of Ma Shunde who got the Imperial City Secretary from Zhao Bingzhong and became the chief eunuch.

Looking at it now, mastering the Imperial City Division is like holding a double-edged sword. It is hard to say whether it is good or bad.

If Ma Shunde hadn't mastered the Imperial City Division, how could such a terrible situation happen today?

Whoosh, whoosh.

The emperor could hear his heavy breathing, which represented the appearance of his own aging. The emperor hated this. He closed his eyes and let the effect of the medicine take effect. After a while, it took effect along with the effect of the medicine. , and the mood gradually calmed down.

Then the emperor raised his eyelids again, looked at the people who were still kowtowing, and asked coldly, "What have you found?"

Then Ma Shunde stopped, didn't dare to raise his head, just lowered his head and replied: "Go back to the emperor, the slaves found out that the first person who told the rumor was Zhang Zhou, the steward of Shu Palace."

"Shu Palace?" Hearing this surprising words, the emperor just said such a sentence lightly, and his expression darkened.

"Yes, the servants are already continuing to investigate. Does this boat have any other background? Is it framing the King of Shu..." Ma Shunde hurriedly replied.

The emperor motioned to the people nearby to wait for him to get up, pulled on a pair of shoes and put on a robe, and walked around the hall for a few times, then stopped suddenly, turned and looked at Hu Huai'an who had been following him in small steps.

"Is there any news from the Taisun Mansion?"

Hu Huai'an immediately reported: "Your Majesty, since Taisun left Beijing, the Taisun Mansion has basically been closed. The daily trading of rice, grain, meat and vegetables, as well as the shops it operates are all under supervision, and there is no news to pay attention to."

At this time, a eunuch farther away also bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the grandson himself is still in the canal, protected by the guards of the period, and reports every day, and there is no obvious news."

As he spoke, everyone present lowered their heads, and no one dared to raise their heads and say anything.

Hu Huai'an felt a chill in his heart: "The emperor suspects that the grandson is like this!"

When something like this happened, the grandson was the first reaction? "

But the problem is that everyone can see that even if the emperor doesn't like the grandson, the situation of the grandson is not too bad, and he can even wrestle with the emperor at present. As soon as it comes out, this is not good for Taisun except to let out a sigh of relief!
And for those who have power, what's the use of taking a breath in a short period of time?

Taisun is not a fool, how could he do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit himself?At that time, not only will they encounter the emperor's thunderous wrath, but many people will benefit from it.

No matter how you look at it, it is unlikely that the person who spread the rumors is the grandson.

Although some smart people would think that Taisun would take advantage of this to do the opposite?
But the question remains, what is the picture?

Fighting to hurt both sides, or even completely finished, just to give everyone a "surprise"?
Hearing this, the emperor stood and pondered, his face turned pale for a moment, then turned livid again, his brows were slightly frowned, and the suffocation in his chest grew worse.

Not grandson?

"Who would that be? Could it be King Qi?"

"It can't be that the King of Shu did it, right?"

The emperor didn't want to believe that his son was so stupid, so he walked slowly back to Ma Shunde, looked down at this slave: "You continue to block the city gates and mobilize the people's lines of the Imperial City Division, you must know who is spreading rumors .”

"Also, pass the decree to Shuntian Mansion and Jiumen Admiral, whoever dares to spread rumors will be punished immediately." The emperor said gloomyly: "Be sure not to hear a word after dawn."

"Yes!" Ma Shunde responded immediately.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao Xu and Mr. Qian Wei have urgently ordered the Shuntian Mansion to patrol the camp with knives to suppress the rumors." Hu Huai'an said with his hands down.

"Good job."

The emperor gritted his teeth with a gloomy face, and continued to order: "Decree, the king of Shu is not strict with the housekeeper, temporarily ground him!"

"For the rest, just investigate thoroughly. Anyone who dares to hide anything will be punished."

"Yes!"

At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter. Because the sky was overcast, the hall was still a bit dark. The rain was not heavy, but it was still falling endlessly. The raindrops that drifted in with the wind fell on the face, which was cold.

The emperor still had doubts.

"Not the grandson?"

"It is indeed impossible for him to know the inside story, but will there be a suicide note to tell?"

Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly became dizzy and returned to the couch.

"No, it's not like that. If Fu'er knew the inside story, how could she hold her hands like this? This matter is a secret, let alone back then, even now, few people know about it."

"Who the hell stole my secret? Are you still making trouble for everyone to know?"

"This is really despicable, punishing its nine clans!"

When the emperor thought of this, his heart tightened, and he couldn't help turning his eyes to the outside, but saw that the dark clouds were densely covered, making it pitch black, and the wind was blowing softly.

Only then did he think carefully about what he had just said.

Zhao Xu and Qian Wei have already mobilized?

On the one hand, the emperor praised him a little, he had to rely on his ministers to do things, and Ma Shunde had disappointed himself many times. Although Hu Huai'an could serve, he was only a servant, and he hadn't seen him in other places.

"But both Zhao Xu and Qian Wei knew about the rumors, and the officials..."

The emperor didn't dare to think about it, so he told Hu Huai'an gloomyly: "Such rumors should not be spread in the inner palace, especially the empress's place. Go and have a look. If someone dares to do this, peel off the skin and fill it with grass!"

"...Yes!" Hu Huai'an accepted the order and was about to do it immediately.

"Ma Shunde is so incompetent, alas, it's really unusable!" Thinking about this, the emperor said again: "Hu Huai'an."

"Your Majesty." Hu Huai'an, who was about to leave, immediately bent over and returned, waiting for the emperor's order.

The emperor frowned: "Pass the decree, let Zhao Bingzhong enter the value again."

"...Yes!" Hu Huai'an and Ma Shunde both responded respectfully, but their expressions changed slightly.

"You guys, why don't you go and run an errand quickly?" The emperor saw both of them's thoughts, but said with a smile: "I was shocked by you, and I have to rest for a while."

"Yes!" Ma Shunde kowtowed with blood on his forehead and tears in his eyes, glanced at the emperor, and staggered back out.

Ma Shunde was so proud some time ago, but now he is so downcast, like an eggplant beaten by frost, his whole person is wilted.

The emperor asked Zhao Bingzhong to enter the value again. Needless to say, this is to make Zhao Bingzhong become a close eunuch again, and even control the Imperial City Secretary?
If Zhao Bingzhong returns to the emperor's side, what's the matter with himself, Ma Shunde?

The emperor is disgusted.

For a servant, there is nothing more desperate than being rejected by a superior.

In the palace, which was originally full of people, it was empty and only the emperor was left.

Although there are palace people standing at the door, no one dares to enter without the emperor's order.

The emperor took a few steps back and sat back on the couch.

Ma Shunde and Hu Huai'an didn't realize the seriousness of this matter, but the emperor knew it in his heart. He sat there in a daze. At this moment, his old face suddenly became more emaciated.

Where are the fortitude and tenacity of youth in the eyebrows?

"Who, who is spreading rumors?"

"Who stabbed me this knife?"
