Qingyun Hall, hundreds of soldiers stood guard around the square below. Outside the main hall door, Liu Congxi stood there alone, frowning. An hour ago, in the square not far ahead, something happened when the emperor approached.

In an assassination incident, Li Xun, the deputy envoy of Jiedu of Longyou West Road and the governor of Wuzhou, was seriously injured. Now his life or death is uncertain.

Zhao Zhi was furious and ordered a thorough investigation to get to the bottom of everything.

The palace door opened and Duke Mu came out.

"Wang Anmao hasn't come yet?"

"I've sent someone to inform you. They should be here soon."

Liu Congxi shook his head, then glanced into the hall, and saw Zhao Zhi sitting at the top of the table, with a gloomy face and unconcealable anger in his eyes.

Liu Congxi quickly retracted his head and said softly: "Godfather, it's a coincidence that such a big thing happened just after your old man came back."

"Yes, it was a coincidence that such a big thing happened just after I came back."

Mu Gong nodded and looked into the distance, with an inexplicable color in his eyes.

Liu Congxi added: "Godfather, the assassination of Li Xun was really done by King Yi or the Yang family, just as Concubine Li said."

Duke Mu looked at Liu Congxi and asked quietly: "What do you think?"

Liu Congxi pondered for a moment, then said: "Li Xun is Concubine Li's only biological nephew. With his relationship with the prince, he will definitely play an important role in the future political situation. Li Xun's growth, King Yi and the Yang family...

We will never sit back and ignore it, and it is reasonable for them to do this."

"Whoever did it will naturally know in his heart."

Mu Gong said softly and looked into the distance again. Not far away, Wang Anmao and an old man were walking in a hurry.

"Meet Duke Mu."

When the two of them came closer, they bowed and Master Mu said to the old man: "Master He, come in quickly. The Emperor has been waiting for you for a long time."

This old man surnamed He was the director of the Royal Hospital and had superb medical skills. Li Xun was stabbed and seriously injured, so it was he who rescued him.

Yuan Zheng nodded, straightened his clothes, and then walked into the main hall.

"Mr. Mu, is the emperor less angry?"

Wang Anmao asked aloud, his voice was a little weak. After Mu Gong was driven out of the palace, Wang Anmao took over most of his rights, and immediately eliminated dissidents, suppressing and ostracizing all the people who were close to Mu Gong, but he never expected that

, Mu Gong actually has one day to come back.

Duke Mu looked at Wang Anmao and didn't say a word. Liu Congxi on the side laughed and said: "The palace door happens to be open. You will know when you go in."

Wang Anmao lowered his head, being ignored by Mu Gong and ridiculed by Liu Congxi. At this moment, his heart was full of resentment towards the two of them.

Several people were silent, and there was silence all around. However, the palace door was not closed, but some sounds could be heard faintly.

At this moment, crying sounded, and it was Li Yi's voice. Soon, the porcelain bowl hit the ground heavily, and Zhao Zhi's angry voice also sounded: "A bunch of trash, you can't even save one person, what use do I need from you?"

As I said before, if Li Xun has any shortcomings, all the people who are here to treat him will be buried with him."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

The hospital was begging loudly for mercy.

"Get out, I don't want to see you."

Zhao Zhi roared angrily.

Mu Gong frowned slightly, but his expression remained calm, while Liu Congxi and Wang Anmao trembled slightly. It seemed that they had never seen Zhao Zhi lose his temper in so many years since he succeeded to the throne.

Wang Anmao raised his head and looked at Mu Gong, his face already pale and colorless.

Duke Mu also looked at him and said quietly: "You should know how angry the emperor is."

Wang Anmao's lips were trembling and he couldn't say a word. His mind was filled with what Zhao Zhi said just now. If Li Xun had any shortcomings, all the people who were there to treat him would be buried with him. Isn't it because of the imperial hospital?

Take charge yourself?

After a while, two guards dragged Yuan Zheng out. Yuan Zheng wiped his tears and walked out into the distance without looking at Mu Gong and others.

Looking at the retreating figure of the court, Mu Gong shook his head and sighed, and said to Wang Anmao: "Go, the emperor is tired, let this farce end as soon as possible."

Wang Anmao nodded and left a little dejected.

After Wang Anmao left, Liu Congxi immediately said: "Godfather, after you left, Wang Anmao became very close to King Yi. Isn't it too dangerous for him to take charge of Li Xun's treatment?"

Duke Mu said silently: "Sometimes, the most dangerous thing is also the safest. The Imperial Hospital is in charge of Wang Anmao. At this moment, the matter is urgent and people's lives are at stake. There can be no delay. No one is more familiar with the affairs of the Imperial Hospital than him."

Liu Congxi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. The emperor had already spoken. If Li Xun could not be saved, all the people who were treating him would be buried with him. How dare he, Wang Anmao, not do his best?

"Godfather, when you always come back, we all have a backbone. You don't know that Wang Anmao is extremely hateful these days when you are no longer here..."

Liu Congxi kept talking bad things about Wang Anmao there.

Mu Gong glanced at Liu Congxi silently, without saying a word. Many people, including Liu Congxi, were filled with joy when he returned. But this joy... moreover, for what reason?

?

When Mu Gong was here, the eunuchs and maids in the palace, although there were competitions and fights, they all understood the principle of giving in in a moderate way and did not dare to do anything too much. Now, after leaving for more than half a year, everything is the same.

There have been great changes. For example, the conflicts and fights between Liu Congxi and Wang Anmao are already very superficial. As the two most powerful people in the palace now, once a fight breaks out between them, the eunuchs and the entire imperial city will

Naturally, the palace maids were immediately divided into two groups. You fought...I fought...it was very lively. The chaos in the court and the huge changes in the external situation also left Zhao Zhi with no energy to distract from these.

Liu Congxi talked for a long time, but Mu Gong didn't listen to a word. He just sighed suddenly and said: "The emperor's place is not as quiet as before."

Liu Congxi stopped talking because he didn't understand the meaning of Mu Gong's words.

"Daddy, what do you mean by this?"

Duke Mu looked at Liu Congxi and said softly: "I remember that before I left, I told the emperor that I wanted to transfer you to the south of the Yangtze River to supervise the salt administration. The emperor has agreed, so why didn't you go?"

Liu Congxi's eyes flashed and he lowered his head: "After godfather left, Concubine Li asked me if I wanted to work with the emperor. The child felt that it was inconvenient that godfather left and there was no one around to serve the emperor, so... she stayed

.”

Duke Mu stared at Liu Congxi and remained silent for a long time. After a long time, he sighed: "The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is much better than here... It's your blessing to be able to go there, but you just don't go.

It’s true that I don’t know how blessed I am when I’m in the midst of blessings.”

Liu Congxi still lowered his head and didn't say a word.

Liu Congxi entered the palace since he was a child. Because of his handsome appearance, lively personality, and smart person, he was quickly valued and loved by Duke Mu, and stayed by his side to work. This was his luck. It can be said that Duke Mu regarded Liu Congxi as his

As his half-son, Duke Mu was very clear about the situation in the court, and any changes and trends in the court would often involve everyone in the imperial city. Duke Mu went to great lengths to transfer Liu Congxi to Jiangnan.

It was also to keep him away from the place of right and wrong, and maybe he could have a good death in the future. Unfortunately, Liu Congxi didn't know this truth.

In fact, over the years, Zhao Zhi has trusted and loved Liu Congxi quite a lot because of Mu Gong. However, it is also because of Mu Gong that Liu Congxi has never been able to get much power and importance, and he has never been able to enter the circle of eunuchs.

At the core, Liu Congxi had already complained about this. He didn't completely understand Mu Gong's thoughts, but Liu Congxi had his own ideas. He was not fighting for himself alone. Mu Gong had no relatives and was alone, so he could
