Chapter 174 The Queen’s Conspiracy
  Marquis Wu Ling was the emperor's right-hand man, and the emperor was very concerned about his condition. He ignored all other matters and directly asked people to leave the palace.

I couldn't care about anything else.

Ning Muqing stood up and quickly followed, "How could Marquis Wu Ling take the medicine given by the Queen?"

Seeing that Chu Lixuan didn't go, Ning Muqing simply asked him, "Could it be that the queen deliberately gave Wu Linghou medicine to aggravate his condition in order to take revenge on Mrs. Wu?"

"Let's go and have a look too."

Chu Lixuan glanced at the documents on the table in the imperial study room, picked out the important ones, and locked them up.

Ning Muqing nodded. She also planned to treat Wu Linghou's condition after opening a medical clinic. It would be good to understand the situation at this time.

Wu Linghou's illness was a terminal illness under ancient medical conditions, but it is only now that he has been taking medication that it has not worsened.

The most regrettable thing is that he and Mrs. Wu still have no children.

The emperor attached great importance to Wu Linghou, and searched for rare medicines for him all over the world, hoping that he could live longer.

But unexpectedly, news suddenly came today that his condition had worsened.

I hope Wu Linghou will not be in any danger to his life for the time being.

Ning Muqing frowned and followed Chu Lixuan. The two of them rushed to Wulinghou's Mansion. After the news that Wulinghou was seriously ill spread, the courtyard of Wulinghou's Mansion was filled with people.

Wu Linghou was lying in the inner courtyard with the door closed. Ning Muqing vaguely heard Mrs. Wu crying.

In addition to the people who came to visit, there was also a nun from the Queen's Palace who was kneeling on the ground.

"what happened?"

The emperor asked with a frown.

Mammy burst into tears, thinking that seeing the emperor meant she saw hope. She shouted, "Your Majesty... slave, slave, I didn't mean it. When the queen took the medicine, she didn't say whether it was for Mrs. Wu or the Marquis." ,

The slave...the slave doesn't know that the Marquis cannot take this medicine. The slave really has no intention of harming the Marquis. The Marquis has fought so many victorious battles for our Zhou Kingdom. How could the slave harm the Marquis. "

"Does it mean that you took the wrong medicine and that caused Wu Lingshou disease?"

The emperor's face was ashen.

Mammy was so frightened that she trembled all over, "Your Majesty, all slaves and maids do things according to the Queen's orders, slaves and maids..."

"Come here, drag me down and give you a hundred sticks."

Grandma was so frightened that her body stiffened for a moment, and she screamed loudly, "Your Majesty, it's really the Queen..."

Before she finished speaking, a guard was already dragging Grandma’s fat body down, and soon the sound of sticks hitting flesh could be heard outside the yard.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Grandma was beaten so hard that she kept wailing.

For a time, no one in the courtyard dared to make any loud noise.

"If she is still alive after being beaten with a hundred sticks, she will be dragged to a mass grave and allowed to be eaten by wild dogs."

The emperor was almost furious.

Chu Lixuan frowned and ordered, "Drag him out of the Marquis' Mansion and beat him with a stick on the street. I'm afraid it won't be conducive for Wu Linghou to recover from his illness."

"It's because I didn't think carefully." The emperor nodded after hearing this, "Do as Prince Ning said."

Just as everyone was dragging Grandma out, a woman came up from behind Ning Muqing. She dragged Ning Muqing's hand and asked, "Are you Princess Ning?"

"Who are you?" Ning Muqing frowned.

Ning Muqing had actually guessed the identity of the person who came here, with a demure look on his face.

Mrs. Zuo didn't expect to see Ning Muqing when she came to visit Wu Linghou today. She gratefully grabbed Ning Muqing's hand and shouted excitedly, "Princess Ning, I'm here to beg you, please let us go." Jia Ziyue, all the mistakes she made were my fault. It was me, a mother, who neglected to educate Ziyue. I am willing to accept the consequences for her. I just ask that you can let her come out of the Yin Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion this time. …”

Madam Zuo was originally of noble status, and no one in the bodyguard dared to stop her. In addition to her high martial arts skills and extremely fast movements, the bodyguards around Chu Lixuan were unable to catch her. Ning Muqing's hands hurt from her grasp and she wanted to dodge.

It happened that Chu Lixuan's bodyguard took action, but Mrs. Zuo was blocked by the palm of her hand. She missed Ning Muqing's hand and threw it away, causing her whole body to fall to the ground.

Normally, Mrs. Zuo would never do such a shameful thing.

But at this moment, in order to save her daughter, Mrs. Zuo didn't care so much. Before she got up, she grabbed Ning Muqing's skirt with her hands. She cried and shouted, "Princess Ning, just think of me as begging you. Please let our Ziyue go."

"Bold! How dare you be rude to our Princess Ning?!"

The guards quickly opened Madam Zuo's hand and stopped Madam Zuo one after another, forcing her to retreat five meters away from Ning Muqing.

Ning Muqing saw Mrs. Zuo staring straight at her with red eyes, saying that it was impossible not to be touched in her heart, and she frowned tightly.

"Princess Ning, how pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are!"

Madam Zuo shouted to Ning Muqing without any regard for her own safety.

Ning Muqing, "..."

She pitied Mrs. Zuo's parental heart, so who would pity her?

When the emperor saw this scene, he frowned deeply and asked, "What on earth is going on?"

Ning Muqing didn't have time to speak.

"Doctor Xiao is here, Dr. Xiao is here."

Suddenly, a servant's urgent shout came from outside the courtyard.

The emperor didn't care so much and said quickly, "Let Dr. Xiao go see Wu Linghou quickly."

In addition to Xiao Yuyi, all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital came. They ran out of breath and were not even allowed to greet the emperor. The most important thing at the moment was to save Wu Linghou's life.

"All irrelevant people should exit and wait in the outer courtyard." The emperor gave the order with great authority, "Anyone who causes trouble again will have their homes confiscated and exiled!!"

The crowd who came to watch the excitement were startled, bowed their heads and exited, running outside the hospital to wait.

Those who originally respected Mrs. Zuo in Beijing now looked at her with a bit more contempt.

She has too little eyesight!
  Now that Wu Linghou is seriously ill, the most important thing is of course Wu Linghou's safety. If he doesn't look at them, they only look inside the house...

But Mrs. Zuo came over to kneel and beg Ning Muqing.

The emperor was impatient.

If Marquis Wu Ling couldn't be saved, they might have to be punished.

Mrs. Zuo, who had calmed down, now felt like she was covered in knives. When she realized what she had just done, her cheeks felt hot.

This feeling is extremely uncomfortable.

She has always been very arrogant in Beijing, and she does not disdain to associate with other people.

But now, it can be said that she has suffered a lot for Zuo Ziyue, her unfulfilled daughter.

however……

The palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh, and Mrs. Zuo really didn't know what to do.

Most of the people in the courtyard of Wuling Houfu dispersed, and there were not many people in sight, and it became a lot quieter. Now Mrs. Wu's crying became clear and audible.

The emperor sat on the chair, his face extremely pale.

Ning Muqing looked at the servants of Wulinghou Mansion, and after greeting Chu Lixuan, she asked, "What happened? What medicine did the nun from the palace give Wulinghou?"
