The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

Ling Moxiao looked at the calm Fang Rong and thought of a possibility.

He waved for everyone to go out. Only his Fang Rong was in the room, and he asked calmly: "What does Aunt Fang want?"

Fang Rong smiled. Prince Ling was indeed smart. It was much easier to deal with smart people. If it were the prince, she would have to think of other ways.

"Seeking for survival, seeking good citizenship."

Ling Moxiao laughed: "This is too simple, so simple that I can't believe it."

Fang Rong sighed softly: "But this is all the empress gave me. By the way, there is also a thousand taels of silver reward."

Ling Moxiao raised his eyebrows: "If you can get it from the queen, why do you need to trade with me?"

Fang Rong sneered: "Why do you ask questions knowingly? Today I am here to silence the slanderer, and tomorrow someone else will come to silence me."

"In comparison, this servant believes in the prince's promise more."

Ling Moxiao smiled: "I promise that after the matter is completed, I will give Aunt Fang Rong a free life, a good citizen, and a thousand taels of silver."

"But, aunt has to let me know, is this deal worth it?"

Fang Rong calmly took out a list from his sleeve and placed it on the table between the two of them:

"This is the person involved in the case who handled patients from Minzhou to Chang'an."

"Including local officials, merchants, sailors, and the Lu family."

Ling Moxiao looked at her warily, quietly took the list, opened it and saw that all the Lu family members were driven to the third room in Jiangnan.

Among them, Mr. Lu's name was clearly written on the list.

He was shocked. From beginning to end, there was no name of Mo Xiujin. It seems that Third Young Master Lu knows that this matter is of great importance and does not trust Mo Xiujin, a person with a foreign surname.

This is very good. If Mo Xiujin is involved in this major case, it will take a lot of trouble to save him.

When someone discovered the relationship between Mo Xiujin and Shen Dongsu, it became even more unclear.

King Ling didn't know that when Third Young Master Lu was handling the Queen's errands, Mo Xiujin was dealing with the Luo family, so Third Young Master Lu did not let him participate.

Seeing King Ling's face solemn, but surprisingly calm. There was no surprise in catching the queen.

Fang Rong sighed in his heart, if Prince Ling were the Queen's biological son, they princelings wouldn't have such a hard life.

Afraid that this list would not be enough to win the trust of Prince Ling, Fang Rong added, "I will send another message to the Prince."

Ling Moxiao looked up at her and heard her say:

"The queen did these things to drag the prince into trouble, but what she wanted even more was to force out the power behind the princess."

Ling Moxiao was amused in his heart. If the Queen found out afterwards, Shen Dongsu had no power behind him at all.

She was actually a peasant girl from Shenjia Village. I wonder if the Queen would be so angry that she would be whipped.

But in front of Fang Rong, he would not show it.

He said calmly: "The queen will be disappointed. The power behind the princess is not so easy to force out."

Fang Rong was shocked, Princess Ling was indeed extraordinary. The so-called peasant girl is just a cover. The power behind her is beyond imagination.

But none of this has anything to do with her!

At this time, Ling Moxiao said again: "I still need to trouble my aunt to do something."

Fang Rong nodded: "Your Majesty wants your slave to testify against the Queen in Dali Temple?"

Ling Moxiao shook his head. It concerned the Queen, so naturally the matter would not reach Dali Temple.

"The king wants you to testify against the queen in front of the emperor."

Fang Rong looked at him with a faint look: "But if you bear the crime of your master, you will die like a slave."

Ling Moxiao said with deep eyes: "You must die!"

Fang Rong's heart dropped. Is there really no way for me to survive?

At this time, I heard King Ling say again: "Fang Rong must die, but you can survive. Keep your name anonymous, go far away, and completely escape the Chen family's sphere of influence."

At this moment, Fang Rong realized what it meant to be filled with great sorrow and great joy. He stood up suddenly and said, "I will definitely live up to the prince's trust!"

Fang Rong's betrayal was beyond Ling Moxiao's expectation. As far as he knew, Fang Rong was extremely loyal to the queen.

Could it be that something happened during the time she was sent to Yeting that made her betray?

Ling Moxiao also thought that Fang Rong was pretending to take refuge, but in fact he was gathering information for the queen. But Fang Rong didn't get any information from him.

After Dali Temple rescued those sailors, Fang Rong was of little use, so Ling Moxiao could afford to gamble and wait and see what Fang Rong would choose.

Ling Moxiao didn't see it and quietly walked out of the teahouse. Fang Rong, who put on his curtain hat, silently took out a small purse from his chest.

Inside is a number plate, which is the number plate of patients who died of illness in the restricted area of ​​the North District.

After the patient dies, the imperial army will distribute it to Fang Zheng, who will then distribute it to the patient's family.

Fang Rong held the number plate tightly and lit the blue dot, which represented that the owner of the number plate was a man.

Hatred and self-blame flashed in her eyes, it was me who killed you.

I helped the Queen and spread the plague in the North District. This is God's punishment for me.

I will avenge you, even if I lose my life!

With the list given by the sailor and Fang Rong, Ling Moxiao was 50% sure that he could drive the queen to the Xishan Palace.

The reason why we are 50% sure is because the Queen is backed by the Chen family.

So the next step is to shut up Chen Guogong. I believe that after Chen Xingzhen's incident, Chen Guogong also thinks that it would be better for the queen to leave Chang'an, right?

But to be on the safe side, Ling Moxiao did one more thing. He once again asked the minister of Dali Temple to sell a favor to Chen Guogong.

The favor this time was that the clues found revealed that the person who spread the plague in the North District was Chen Xingzhen!

The Minister of Dali Temple said with deep meaning, no matter how close this nephew is, he can't compare to his son!

The prince has been going to the imperial mausoleum for so long, so naturally the queen wants to find a scapegoat.

Chen Guogong didn't believe it at first, but when the minister of Dali Temple showed him the solid evidence, the person who contacted Mr. Lu was none other than Chen Xingyao.

Even Chen Guogong himself found letters between the two of them in Chen Xingyao's study. Those letters looked normal before.

But now that there is a plague, a little involvement can turn into evidence that the two people were secretly negotiating.

Like Chen Xingzhen asked Master Lu, when will the gift arrive?

Mr. Lu Sangong wrote back that he would be there soon by sea.

Chen Guogong remembered that Chen Xingyao asked Third Young Master Lu for novelty gadgets from Jiangnan, but with this pair of timelines, even if you said you wanted patients from Minzhou, you could match them.

Only then did Duke Chen become anxious, and he hurried into the palace to see the queen.

At this moment, King Ling was exposing the Queen in front of the Emperor about spreading the plague in the North District.

Soon, Emperor Xuan and Queen came to confront him, and Fang Rong came with him.

At this time, the queen was full of confidence, and all the people who dealt with it were silenced. Even if King Ling found out, there was no evidence.

Without evidence, she cannot be punished as the majestic Queen of Daxia.

In the end, Ling Moxiao directly said that Fang Rong was the witness.

Under the Queen's surprised gaze, Fang Rong knelt down and admitted that the Queen had arranged for the patient to be taken from Minzhou to Chang'an, and she had arranged the entire process.

He also claimed that the queen was trying to trap Princess Ling in a restricted area, anger King Ling, and frame the spread of the plague on King Ling and Princess Ling.

The queen was so angry that she slapped Fang Rong: "I treat you well! Why do you want to slander me?"

The emperor angrily told the queen to stop and let Fang Rong continue.

Fang Rong also said that the queen also hid a lot of patients' belongings and could spread the plague in the East District at any time.

But because Princess Ling developed a special medicine in time, she knew that the wider the plague spread, the better Princess Ling's reputation would be.

This did not spread in Chang'an City, and he also asked when he would get the order and how to contact the Lu family to pull people by sea ship.

He told the details one by one, and even took out the handwritten letters he had written to those people, and the sailors were not dead either.

There is a lot of evidence in front of her, so the queen has to admit it even if she doesn't admit it.

The emperor ordered Duke Chen to enter the palace. Ling Moxiao and Dali Temple officials were watching.

Just as the queen's mind was racing, thinking about how to escape, a eunuch suddenly slipped a note into her hand.

The queen was convinced that she was from the Chen family, and her brother would not leave her alone.

She excused herself to change her clothes and left. She opened the note and saw that it read:

Don’t involve the prince!

Xingzhen is in the North District and will be fine.

It was just two simple sentences, but the Queen understood the meaning of the person who wrote this note.

Thinking again about Fang Rong's testimony just now, it is obvious that there is still a loophole, that is, based on her handwriting, she cannot accuse Mr. Lu at all.

There is another person here who is in contact with Mr. Lu alone. Is it the prince? Or Xing Zhen?

In fact, it was the queen herself, but the queen didn't want to admit it. When word spread about this incident, her reputation was ruined.

So she had to find a way to make herself bear the minimum crime. The meaning of the note was that the half-prince cannot be implicated.

And Xing Zhen happened to be in the North District when the incident happened, and now he was seriously injured and contracted the plague. Even if he was implicated, the emperor would not be able to hurt Xing Yao for a while.

The prince's precarious position became even more unstable.

The queen quickly made a decision. She was very grateful to her brother for taking care of the overall situation. She knew that as long as the prince did not fall, the Chen family would be fine.

She took off her hairpin in the clean room and knelt before the emperor to plead guilty.

At the same time, it was revealed that Chen Xingyao was another person in charge of the case.

After she finished speaking, she heard a stumbling sound from behind. When she turned around, she saw Chen Guogong looking at her in disbelief.

The Duke has the right not to kneel, but this time, Duke Chen did.

His only son was seriously injured, his life or death was uncertain, and one of his sons was later broken.

But his sister wanted to send her son to die!

He asked the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation again, because Chen Xingzhen was in Youzhou at that time and there was no way he could be involved in the case.

The queen was shocked and didn't understand why her brother had just written to her and now regretted it.

She was about to find the note to show to Chen Guogong, but when she opened it, she saw a piece of white paper with no writing on it.

At this moment, the queen understood everything. This was definitely Ling Moxiao's fault!

Only Shen Dongsu, that witch bitch, can use witchcraft to make a potion that can write characters and then the characters disappear.

She once asked Aunt Shi to make this kind of potion for her, and she killed many dissidents because of it. Unexpectedly, one day, someone would use this method to harm her!

She glared at Ling Moxiao, pointed at him and cursed: "It's you! It's you who harmed me!"

Ling Moxiao looked innocent: "Empress, the case was indeed investigated by me and Dali Temple together, but the evidence was not false. How could I harm the empress?"

Then he said with a worried look on his face: "Due to the plague case, my princess is still suffering in the restricted area. Why did I want to harm my queen? My princess?"

The Dali Temple officials who were watching all felt that the queen was causing trouble. What did this matter have to do with King Ling?

Did you commit such an inhumane crime yourself, and in the face of the evidence, did you frame it on others?

Fortunately, Princess Ling developed a special medicine, otherwise we wouldn’t know how much trouble this plague would cause in Chang’an and how many people would die!

The queen looked at Chen Guogong again. As long as Chen Guogong was willing to do his best to protect her, with the power of the Chen and Lu families, she would escape smoothly like before.

As a result, Chen Guogong didn't look at her this time. When she said Chen Xingzhen's name, Chen Guogong was already despairing of her.

You can even harm your only nephew, so what else can't you do? If you continue to let the queen act like this, the entire Chen family will be dragged down by her!

Soon, Fang Rong and his people found a reply from Mr. Lu in the Queen's Palace. The letter clearly stated that he had received the Queen's order.

Dali Temple also found out that on the day Chen Xingzhen returned to Chang'an, the city of Chang'an had been closed.

Well, of course this is also the clue given by Ling Mo Xiao.

So it is true that this case has nothing to do with Chen Xingzhen, but he still needs to be punished for deserting the army. The only reason is that he got sick and seriously injured in the restricted area, and he will be punished after he leaves the restricted area.

The emperor announced to Duke Lu again, and threw the evidence in front of Duke Lu. He saw that the third bedroom had been driven to the south of the Yangtze River, how dare he do such a thing!

He immediately said that what Sanfang did had nothing to do with the Lu family and allowed the emperor to punish him.

The third master of the third house was infected with the disease, which damaged the reputation of the ladies circle. The Queen Mother also went to Xishan Villa because of this incident.

Now, in order to curry favor with the queen and the prince, Mr. Lu has committed such a big case again. Mr. Lu wishes he could go to Jiangnan and put an end to this family scourge!

He can take responsibility for other things, and there is nothing that the nobles cannot do in the local area. But if you spread the plague to Chang'an, can he withstand it?

Once the incident spread, all the nobles and nobles in Chang'an would be offended!

In this way, the evidence was conclusive, but the queen was still worried that the prince would be implicated, and because of Fang Rong's betrayal and Chen Guogong's neglect of her.

This made her feel guilty for the first time, and she stopped making sophistry. She even took off her hairpin to plead guilty. Your Majesty, please watch the punishment!

As Ling Mo Xiao expected, the emperor really didn't want to completely break up with the nobles, so he only ordered the queen to go to the Xishan Courtyard to fulfill her filial piety to the queen mother.

All the three members of the Lu family were sent to the border. Yes, even the sons of the noble family who committed such a big case would not be punished with the death penalty.

If the emperor really wanted to sentence Young Master Lu to death, then all the nobles would oppose it because this would not be a precedent.

The benefit the emperor received was that the Lu family's maritime business rights were given to the Internal Affairs Treasury, which was in other words confiscated.

This made Lu Guogong's heart bleed, but he was lucky that the Lu family was not involved.

If you lose the maritime merchants, you will lose them. Anyway, the Lu family has the foundation, and they will be able to build another maritime merchant fleet in a few years.

The emperor was very satisfied with the result. Not many people died in the North District. Princess Ling also developed a special medicine.

Chen and Lu were bound to be at odds over this incident, and their power was severely damaged.

The queen was sent to Xishan. Without her power, it will be difficult for her to do stupid things in the future.

Without the queen messing around behind his back, the prince would be much more at ease.

The emperor felt that he was very satisfied with the result.

But Ling Moxiao was not satisfied!

They are so cheap! The prince was not punished, and the queen only went to the Xishan Courtyard.

Lu Sanfa cooperated with Bian Guan, and the only person in the Chen family who was actually harmed was Chen Xingzhen.

And so many people died in the North District! Those baskets of number plates represent the lives of individual people.

In the eyes of these superiors, they are just pawns in the game, and their lives are nothing at all.

Ling Moxiao's eyes were dark, the emperor was seeking stability, and wanted to erode the noble clan and divide the noble clan in the midst of stability.

But this is too slow and cannot shake the behemoth of the gentry at all.

Just as he was thinking about how to make the impact of the incident greater, the people who went to the canal to find the boat finally brought back the news.

A big news that shocked the whole court and shocked the whole world.
