Chapter 606

Porridge continued until Shenshi, and the team gradually dispersed. There were twenty pots of Laba porridge.

Gao Lang and Zhong Da worked the hardest. They were both sweating. Chen min'er sent people to the restaurant to order two tables of wine and vegetables and sent them to the medicine hall as a reward.

Mu Heng wanted to stay and have dinner with everyone, but today was the first Laba Festival after his second brother got married. As the head of the family, he couldn't be absent and had to go home.

Gao Lang muttered, "after working all day, I didn't even drink a mouthful of wine."

Mu Heng poked him on the forehead: "I can't live without you."

Then he took out a silver note from his arms: "let's take a day off tomorrow and go!"

Zhongda first reached out and grabbed it. Hehe said with a smile, "thank you."

Gao Lang was slow and stared at Zhongda angrily. "De'er, you are responsible for all the expenses tomorrow."

The master and servant slowly returned to the house, but they saw the bodyguard around the prince waiting at the door.

Mu Heng's heart was cold, and he stepped forward quickly. The guard looked serious and bowed his hands and said, "Sir, the prince, please go to the East Palace quickly."

In the East Palace, in the prince's study, the prince was walking up and down restlessly with his back hands.

"The Marquis hasn't arrived yet?"

The servant shook his head.

The prince continued to pace sadly.

Mu Heng knew something on the road. Duke Wei suddenly died and Hua Shaotang disappeared. Several important officials in the court and the imperial concubines in the back palace, under the leadership of imperial concubine Ning, knelt outside the Taihe hall and asked to see the emperor. They are still kneeling there.

It's not that the courtiers wanted to see the emperor before, and some rumors came out that the crown prince was under house arrest. The emperor's life and death were unknown, but they were blocked back by Duke Wei. This afternoon, Duke Wei was found dead in his room. Then the minister entered the palace. There was huashaotang to block it, but now huashaotang is gone.

This series of events means that someone began to fight back.

Mu Heng was also worried. He hurried to the prince's house and went straight into the study.

"Prince..."

"Mu Heng, you're here at last." the prince waved and held back. There was only mu Heng left in the study.

"Has the cause of father-in-law Wei's death been found out? Where's huashaotang?" Mu Heng asked anxiously.

The prince looked dignified and said, "the Royal Doctor Liu said that Duke Wei was suffering from heart disease caused by overwork. The palace has sent the forbidden Dragon Guard to find huashaotang. There is no news yet."

"Which courtiers want to see the emperor?"

"It's a little troublesome this time. The ministers of the Ministry of work and the Ministry of rites, as well as several cabinet elders of the previous dynasty, are kneeling in front of the Taihe hall."

"Why didn't you know you would be a minister?" Mu Heng said with a slight hint of thin responsibility.

Prince Shan Shan: "when the courtiers went to the Taihe hall, the palace didn't know that Duke Wei and huashaotang had an accident. Now it's meaningless to say these. Think of a way. It's important to dissolve the courtiers first."

Without Duke Wei and Hua Shaotang to block the arrow, the imperial doctor Liu's prestige could not convince the courtiers at all. Before, he had been preaching that the emperor was only ill, not a half dead living dead man, so that the courtiers knew that the inside story must be another uproar, and he couldn't drive it away by force, which would make people lose their tongue.

Mu Heng pondered: "Weichen thought that the cause of Duke Wei's death was not so simple, and huashaotang's life and death were still unknown. Weichen thought that this time, they would not stop until they saw the emperor."

"What about that?" the prince was anxious.

Mu Heng said, "for the sake of today, we have to divide our troops into four ways. First, let Chen miner check the cause of father-in-law Wei's death. I can't believe the medical skills of Liu Yuyi. Second, find Hua Shaotang as soon as possible. Third, please ask the elder song Ge and Prime Minister Du Cheng to enter the palace and stabilize the courtiers first. Fourth, monitor Ning house. A hundred footed insects die but don't freeze. I didn't expect the Ning family to turn waves."
