Chapter 56 Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas


When the queen returned to the palace, Emperor Ming felt very irritated and retired all his attendants.

He only took along his personal eunuch Li Ruijin and the first guard Lin Jue on his way back to Shangyang Palace.

Li Ruijin thought he had a good grasp of the emperor's thoughts.

However, at this time, he did not know why Emperor Ming was annoyed and angry today.

Today, Emperor Ming seems to be a little different about Concubine Qian and King Ke, as if he is undecided in some aspects and unable to make a decision.

While he was thinking about it, he heard Emperor Ming say: "Li Ruijin, what do you think of King Ke?"

Li Ruijin was startled, thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty's princes are all among the best."

The people in the palace have a thorough understanding of the way of protecting one's self.

Li Ruijin has been a slave for decades.

The reason why he said this is because he does not want to stand in the party struggle.

Emperor Ming frowned, "You don't have to worry, I'm just asking casually."

Li Ruijin lowered his head and covered his eyebrows without saying much.

Emperor Ming was secretly annoyed that this servant was the most popular with him, yet he remained silent on matters involving party strife.

Unable to ask why, Emperor Ming remained silent and continued walking until he reached the Imperial Garden without realizing it.

Two slender figures in the garden bent down and seemed to be looking for something.

"Li Ruijin, look who these two people are," Emperor Ming whispered.

"It's Taoist Priest Mo and his disciple today."

Wasn't there a palace arranged for the two of them?

Why did they return to the Imperial Garden?

Emperor Ming frowned again.

Mo Di said that the concubine's poison had been cured, but the imperial doctor said it was serious, and the concubine fainted again.

Does this mean that Mo Di was lying?

Moreover, Mo Di was having trouble with Princess Ke in the imperial garden.

What on earth did Mo Di want to do?

Now that I got here, I bumped into two people.

What were they doing?

Emperor Ming waved his hand, and Li Ruijin and Lin Jue understood.

For a moment, the three of them stood in the dark, with branches covering their figures.

The two people in the garden searched for a long time on the ground.

They stood up suddenly and saw something like scissors in Mo Di's hand.

It was said that it was a scissor, but that was not necessarily true because it did not have sharp teeth like scissors.

It's actually tweezers The scissors seemed to have caught something small, and Mo Di carefully put it into the test tube.

Lu Shu let out a slight breath, "Finally found it, it's not in vain that Master and I have been looking for it for a long time."

Mo Di nodded, "This poison is extremely toxic and most of those who are poisoned will not survive.

However, Concubine Qian is very lucky."

"Do you have a great destiny?"

Lu Shu smiled faintly, as if mocking, but also seemed to doubt, and said: "Although princes, generals, and ministers are distinguished by their superiority and inferiority, their destiny is the same.

The imperial concubine is really destined to have a great destiny, or It was done deliberately, there are two other theories.”

"Well, no matter what the imperial concubine's purpose is, it has nothing to do with me.

Since I have responded to your majesty's words, I will give you an explanation."

"But since Master already knows that the poison was administered by the imperial concubine herself, I can explain it directly to His Majesty.

Why bother to come here to search for the remains left behind by the poison?"

The remains in the test tube were so small that it took a lot of effort to find them one by one on the ground.

Mo Di sighed, "Although I understand the intentions of the noble concubine, I know that the concubine is cunning and cunning, and the wise king Ke Wang is not a vulgar person.

How can I allow me to tell the truth to your majesty?"

"So that's it."

Lu Shu suddenly sighed, "After listening to the master's words, the disciple realized that it turned out that Princess Ke deliberately went against the master today because the master suspected the concubine's nanny based on the evidence."

"Princess Ke is a wonderful person, but it's a pity that she boarded King Ke's pirate ship and had thoughts that were contrary to His Majesty's."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Shu frowned slightly, and Mo Di added, "Although Princess Ke went too far today, I feel that she just misbelieved what others said.

What does a woman raised in a boudoir know?

It’s just because of the instigation of the imperial concubine and King Ke.”

"Master is right, but why did the imperial concubine have the intention to poison herself?

She is really brave."

Mo Di said: "The prince has not lost power now.

If this situation continues, your majesty, a hundred years from now, the person who will inherit the throne will be neither a wise king nor a Ke king.

How will the noble concubine deal with herself by then?

Therefore, she will take a risk. " "I wonder who the imperial concubine wants to dismount this time," Lu Shu asked.

"In the battle for imperial power, it is better to be less involved.

Just like this time, because I couldn't stand the behavior of the imperial concubine and her son, I took a drug test, but was shamelessly criticized by Princess Ke."

Mo Di sighed, and when he came, he did not forget his advice, "Don't talk about these words of my Tao to outsiders, so as to avoid trouble.

If your majesty wants to misunderstand, let him misunderstand.

Since then, my Tao has devoted himself to cultivating immortality.

Don’t ask about mortal matters anymore.”

"Follow Master's words."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Di changed his face and chuckled: "Next, let's test the toxicity of this poison with me."

Lu Shu nodded, "The imperial concubine fainted.

Master and I left with everyone.

The test tube that Master had tested was put away for collection, but I don't know who broke it.

It's a joke.

That person thought that breaking it would destroy the poison."

Is there any evidence?

But I don’t know that Master has a way to pick up the broken pieces.”

Mo Di smiled, said nothing, and ordered Mo Di to get a potion, and said with concern: "Be careful, this medicine is very corrosive, if it gets on the skin, it will be like a burn."

Lu Shu nodded and poured the potion into the test tube as Mo Di ordered.

It stands to reason that since the potion is so corrosive, the powder in the test tube should be corroded instantly.

However, after a long time, there was no reduction in the powder in the test tube.

Because it was mixed with water, the powder made the liquid turbid.

Lu Shu's expression changed slightly, "The poison is so strong.

Could it be that the concubine's fainting today was due to this poison?"

"No."

Mo Di shook his head, "I have said that although this poison is strong, it only works at the beginning of the poisoning."

"That noble concubine" Mo Di shook his head again and said: "If she wants to faint, she can do it without the poison."

Lu Shu seemed to think for a while, then nodded.

The two said a few more words, and after a while, they turned and left.

But at that moment, the few people hiding behind the branches did not see the profound meaning hidden on their faces.

Lin Jue lowered his head and covered his eyebrows, wondering what he was thinking.

Li Rui was already sweating profusely, and his heart was beating violently.

He did not dare to look at the emperor's ugly face.

He only felt that Emperor Ming's anger at this time was not trivial.

Emperor Ming was silent.

Lin Jue and Li Ruijin did not dare to say anything.

The three of them stood for a long time.

For some reason, they only heard the emperor groan.

Then, he drove back to the palace.

The quiet and oppressive silence in the imperial garden made Nalanchu slightly frightened.

Nalan Chu looked at the place where Mo Di and Lu Shu were standing just now, frowning.

Originally, she came to get Mo Di's experimental equipment in the name of picking flowers, but she unexpectedly saw this scene.

Mo Di Lu Shu The conversation between the two of them seemed to be deliberately told to Emperor Ming.

No, it was probably specially prepared for Emperor Ming.

Otherwise, how to explain that the conversation between them just explained all the blame that Emperor Ming had on them, and at the same time solved the blame, it just happened to deceive Concubine Qian, King Xian and Meng Yue.

She could see clearly that Concubine Qian's fainting in the Imperial Garden was caused by poison, or in other words, by another kind of poison besides hydrogen sulfide.

However, from the words of these two people, it became clear that Concubine Qian was not poisoned, but pretended to be unconscious.

She cleared up Concubine Qian's doubts, but in the eyes of these two people, she was under the instigation of Concubine Qian and Meng Yue.

Mo Di's withdrawal was something that was not his business, but to the two of them, they couldn't stand the behavior of Concubine Qian and his son, as if he, Mo Di, was very upright and loyal.

He even gave Emperor Ming a reason for Concubine Qian and others to be restless.

Haha, it’s better to stay less involved in the struggle for imperial power.

He, Mo Di, Lu Shu, also knew that he should be less involved Nalan Chu looked at the retreating figures of Mo Di and the two men, and wondered what their purpose was in opposing Meng Yue.
