In the fresh and elegant attic, Murong Li, dressed in white with only two strands of hair tied loosely with a silk belt, was sitting on a recliner reading a book.
A bleak autumn wind blew into the attic through the carved huanghuali wood window, causing him to cough lightly.
"Cough cough cough..."
Mu Qing entered the room with the medicine bowl and frowned when she heard her master coughing.
"Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine." Mu Qing walked over with the medicine in hand.
Murong Li put down the book in his hand and took the medicine bowl from Mu Qing's hand. Without even frowning, he drank the bitter medicine in one gulp. After drinking it, his expression remained unchanged.
He returned the medicine bowl to Mu Qing.
Perhaps he was numb after taking too much medicine, and no matter how bitter the medicine was, he could no longer feel it in Murong Li's mouth.
"It's windy today, please close the windows!" Mu Qing said while holding a bowl. The wind will make the prince cough, so it would be better if the windows are closed.
Murong Li looked at the green bamboos outside the window, shook his head and said: "No need." He has not left the door since the Mid-Autumn Festival, and has been bored in Qingxin Pavilion to recuperate. He can only look through this small door.
He looked out the window at the green bamboos outside. If the windows were closed, his recuperation would be no different from being in prison.
"Has anything big happened outside these days?" Murong Li looked at Mu Qing and asked.
Mu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Nothing big has happened in the past few days, but two small and medium-sized things have happened, both related to the Zhenbei General's Mansion."
"Oh?" Murong Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me and listen."
Mu Qing said: "A few days ago, the adopted son adopted by General Zhenbei ran away. Fortunately, he was found back on the same day. However, on the way to find him, he seemed to have encountered danger. General Song and several of his mansions
The soldiers are all injured."
Murong Li frowned and said, "Who is he? He could actually hurt General Song." Moreover, he was still at the feet of the emperor.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he also heard someone from Shopkeeper Zhao say that something happened to Mrs. Shen and the child during the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival. Someone created chaos and took the opportunity to snatch the child, but it was the young prince of Renwang Mansion who rescued them. The one who robbed the child
The villain committed suicide by taking poison after being caught. Is there any relationship between the person who injured General Song and the person who lived on the Mid-Autumn Festival?
Mu Qing shook his head and said, "I don't know." General Song never made any announcement about this matter, nor did he investigate it. He just transferred some more soldiers from the military camp into the mansion, and asked people from the patrol camp to step up patrols.
"What's the other thing?" Murong Li asked again.
"Ruyi Building was smashed yesterday because of a con man. The guys in the building and the boss behind the scenes, the eldest young master's uncle, were also arrested."
"What does this have to do with the Zhenbei General's Mansion?" Murong Li asked.
Mu Qing said: "The person who exposed the cheater in Ruyi Tower is none other than Mrs. Shen."
"Mrs. Shen? Why did she go to Ruyi Tower so well?" Murong Li was puzzled.
Mu Qing replied: "Mrs. Shen's son Song Ziling gambled in Ruyi Tower and owed a gambling debt of 20,000 taels." This is the reason why Mrs. Shen went to Ruyi Tower.
"So, she went to Ruyi Building, exposed their cheating, and let Ruyi Building be smashed?"
Mu Qing nodded and said, "That should be the case."
"If Mrs. Liu and Murong De knew that it was Mrs. Shen who caused Ruyi Tower to be smashed, they might not just let it go." Murong Li couldn't help but feel worried.
Mr. Liu and Murong De were very close to Mr. Liu, and Mr. Liu often visited the Hou Mansion. Over the years, he had been doing business outside in the name of the Hou Mansion, and he had also given money to Mr. Liu and Murong De. .Now that Boss Liu has been arrested and the Ruyi Building has been smashed, which has cut off the two of them's financial path, they are afraid that they will take revenge.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Mrs. Shen was disguised as a man when she went there. She also said that her surname was Lin and that she was Song Ziling's cousin, so no one knew her identity."
Hearing this, Murong Li felt relieved. Mrs. Shen was smart. She said that her surname was Lin and she was Song Ziling's cousin. Others would naturally think that she was a relative of the Lin family, and the Liu family would only deal with this account. The blame falls on Mrs. Lin. However, if Mrs. Liu and the others really want to take revenge in the future, Mrs. Lin will be a little unjust.
"Go and collect some other evidence of Mr. Liu and Ruyilou's evil deeds, and quietly hand them over to Mr. Fu Yin. Since they have all gone in, don't let them come out again." In recent years, Mr. Liu and Ruyilou have probably had a lot of crimes. Those who do evil are guilty of more than just being a con man. In order to avoid it, if they come out in the future and recognize Mrs. Shen, let them stay in the prison!
"yes!"
Lin Qingxue had people spread the news that Song Ziling was gambling at Ruyi Tower and still owed twenty thousand taels of silver. Within half a day, the news spread throughout the imperial city and even reached the ears of the dean of Yucai Academy.
In the rules of Yucai Academy, there is a rule against students who have bad moral character, prostitution and gambling. Naturally, Song Ziling violated this rule when he gambled.
The dean originally wanted to ask him to invite parents to the academy tomorrow because of Song Ziling's absence from class for two days. Now that he heard that Song Ziling was gambling and owed a gambling debt of 20,000 taels, he felt that he had smeared the reputation of the academy, so he immediately Send someone to Zhenbei General's Mansion and ask them to bring Song Ziling back.
