【One hundred and twenty seven】Change plan
"He did so much, just to wait for you to show up?" Mu Yun couldn't understand and questioned his face.
Jiang Chengyi glanced at her and sighed helplessly: "Emperor Wei, I guessed that Dou Yuelan will help me and give me the opportunity to get into the palace. The reason he did this was to see... how much Dou Yuelan would help me?"
Mu Yun still failed to understand the tortuous key: "So what?"
"My fool Ayi." Jiang Chengyi covered her abdomen with a slight throbbing and said weakly: "How many years have Shuige been in Beijing? How long have I been the head of the Dongfu Department? Outsiders call me the Iron-faced Tabernacle. Dou Yuelan, who has never been bound by the officialdom and only obeys the law, has dealt with the emperor's orders. However, after having been with me for several months, he has been willing to bear the anger of the royal family and even the aristocratic family for me. He would rather be wronged by himself than help you and my husband... Do you think... what will Emperor Wei think?"
Mu Yun lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized something from it, and said tremblingly: "Emperor Wei...has he suspicious of the Dou family?"
"Don't talk about the Dou family. I'm afraid that anyone who is involved with my Jiang Mansion is suspicious. Otherwise, how could he indulge the prince and let the Huangmen Minister who never participated in the trial read the documents full of Deng's guilt?" Jiang Chengyi flattened the corners of his lips, his eyes getting colder and colder.
"As you say so... then don't we act according to the original plan? If Emperor Wei suspected that Shui Pavilion privately won over the Dou family, he would definitely test Dou Yuelan in every way... If we appeared in the palace, wouldn't we want to harm him?"
"It's right." Jiang Chengyi nodded, agreeing with her statement.
Mu Yun leaned in the corner and said anxiously: "What should I do?"
"The plan is still the same. But, we need to change some details a little." Jiang Chengyi seemed to have made up his mind.
Mu Yun looked at his calm expression and knew that he knew how to resolve the situation. So his pupils slipped away, slowly calmed down, and he pouted slightly and said, "You have thought about it, but I was really shocked. Tell me, next... what do you do to resolve the doubts of Emperor Wei towards Dou? Let him believe you?"
"This matter...is not difficult to say. In terms of time, our brother-in-law should have succeeded." Jiang Chengyi turned his head and smiled at the girl who was dressed in a man's clothing beside her and had a change in appearance.
Mu Yun looked at him and immediately understood: "Do you want to... speak through that?"
"Not only that, I also need to have some bitter plans." At this time, Jiang Chengyi pinched the porcelain bottle in his hand, gently grabbed Mu Yun's arm, and said seriously and solemnly: "What I do next will be a bit risky. But... Don't worry, Ayi, I won't really hurt myself."
Seeing his serious appearance, Mu Yun couldn't help but slammed and said in a little scared: "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Chengyi curled her lips and smiled. While she was extremely restless, she pulled open the stopper of the porcelain bottle and drank the powdery things inside.
Mu Yun couldn't help but exclaim, but tried hard to hold it back, pressing the sound back into her throat. She hurriedly leaned forward and said anxiously: "What did you eat?!"
Only a gurgle sound was heard, Jiang Chengyi leaned against the stone brick wall in the corner and swallowed the whole bottle of powder into his stomach. He gently patted Mu Yun's back of his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I said that I won't hurt myself. This powder is non-toxic and unobstructed."
Mu Yun frowned and looked at him half-believingly, always feeling that he was not honest.
After a moment, she saw Jiang Chengyi's condition deteriorating rapidly. In a short while, the blue veins on his forehead had already burst out. Although he was separated by a layer of human skin and masks, it was still vaguely visible. Jiang Chengyi sat in his belly, leaning against the corner, almost curled up into a ball.
Mu Yun immediately said anxiously: "Isn't it non-toxic? Why did it suddenly hurt like this?"
Jiang Chengyi had a cramp in his abdomen, and layers of sweat oozed out of his forehead. He gritted his teeth hard, held his hand on Mu Yun's arm tightly, and inhaled, saying, "Don't say too much. Ayi, hurry up... call someone. The mask on my face is sweating frequently, and I guess it won't last long. I will deliberately pull a corner open to make people discover clues.
After you shout, you will stay away, and I will leave the next thing to you.
As for you... As long as I appear, the Emperor of Wei will not continue to hold the officials and envoys of the Tingwei Mansion in the palace. At that time, you can leave the palace with the people in the side hall. Once you escape from the palace, you will immediately go to the third alley next to the city gate and wait under a maple tree. Today, someone will come to Fuyang to send you messages. If he succeeds, you will bring the documents... kneel in front of the palace gate and ask to meet the Emperor of Wei in front of everyone."
His series of instructions made Mu Yun feel at a loss and said with a worrying face: "You give me a time to react... I have to take the medicine first and then tell me these..."
"I, I, just like that, just like that... Can you promise me to do this show?" Jiang Chengyi could no longer say a complete sentence, but she still smiled reluctantly at her.
"Stop laughing, laughing so hard, you're so ugly!" Mu Yun said angrily.
Jiang Chengyi's words really make sense. If she knew that he would suffer such pain after taking this medicine, she would definitely rather suffer herself than let him take this medicine.
He figured out her temperament and planned every step, so that she would not have the chance to go back on her repentance.
Seeing that she was still thinking anxiously, Jiang Chengyi was trembling with pain, and her teeth trembled, "Ayi... You Ruo, don't hurry up, act, act... I'm afraid I'm going to die today..."
Mu Yun suddenly came to his senses from his thoughts, gave him a fierce look, and then deliberately made a sound, shouting: "Three brothers! What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly sweat so much?!"
Jiang Chengyi looked at the dissatisfied expression on her face, couldn't help laughing twice, then shivered in pain again, and continued to curl up.
Mu Yun closed his eyes with pain, stepped aside, and stopped looking at him.
As soon as the sound came out, the officials around the area were busy checking the documents and sorting out the documents surrounded them and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Mu Yun took advantage of the crowd's riots and slipped out of the corner and stood outside to observe the situation.
When the eunuchs and maids in the hall heard the movement, they rushed over and saw something.
I heard someone in the crowd shouting: "Ah! What is the sticky face of the third brother? Why does it seem to have a layer of skin?"
Immediately afterwards, someone said in horror: "He seems to be wearing a mask!"
Mu Yun stood aside and listened, his heart was beating and he felt cold all over.
"He is not the third child! He is dressed up by others!"
Finally, a crowd of people shouted this sentence. Then, there was a "sharp" sound, and the mask was torn apart.
Mu Yun held his heart and before he could recover, he listened to the left and right prisoners in the Tingwei Mansion shouting loudly: "Isn't this... the wanted Master Jiang?"
So, she became nervous.
The eunuch guarding the palace heard that the person who had fallen into a fainting was the criminal who had escaped for many days, and hurriedly whispered a few words to the attendant at the door.
When Mu Yun heard the movement, he did not dare to look up blatantly, and only swept it with his light. The attendant who had received the news turned around and ran towards the South Palace, walking quickly and urgently.
She clenched her palms tightly, pretending to join in the fun, and stretched her neck out of the dark crowd, looking in, just like other officials around her, and then she avoided the scrutiny of the eunuchs in the hall.
As for the little servant who had just received the news, he ran all the way to the South Palace, arrived at the palace gate panting, whispered a few words to Cui Qian, who was guarding the steps outside the hall, and carefully explained the situation in the side hall.
When Cui Qian heard that Jiang Chengyi appeared, he was startled at first, then frowned slightly, turned around and looked at the silent emperor and ministers in the South Palace, and couldn't help but sigh and whisper: "Today's incident, one after another, is endless. I wonder if Your Majesty can still withstand."
He thought about it, paused under the urgent and anxious gaze of the attendant, and finally turned around helplessly, took a deep breath, stepped over the threshold, and walked towards the southern hall with a small step.
At that time, Emperor Wei was squinting his eyes and seemed to be sleeping deeply.
Cui Qian said in fear: "Your Majesty... I have something important to report."
The man on the seat didn't move, and only heard a shallow breathing sound. Seeing this, Cui Qian couldn't help but have a headache, so he could only bow his head and wait in the hall.
Dou Yuelan looked at Cui Qian's nervousness and couldn't help but feel nervous. He thought to himself: Could something happen to this palace? Otherwise, how could Cui Qian, who could be stable, be so panicked?
After a while, Cui Qian called again to the person on the throne: "Your Majesty! I have something urgent to report."
He called out several times in succession, and the Emperor of Wei gradually moved and bounced up. The person on the seat slowly turned around, turned his gaze down, and asked with some displeasure: "What a huge thing happened? Do you want me like this? Cui Qian? I don't want it when you look at your head?"
Cui Qian said "splash", immediately knelt down and shouted: "I am guilty. Your Majesty must not be angry. Please allow you to report important matters to... and then punish..."
He thumped two loud heads and leaned on the ground waiting for a response.
"What's the point? Just say it." Emperor Wei said lazily.
Cui Qian paused, raised his head and looked at him, wanting to speak but stopping, as if he was considering something.
Emperor Wei read some worries from his eyes, so he gave a meaningful look at Dou Yuelan, who was standing on the side with his head down, and then said slowly: "What's the important thing? You don't dare to speak in front of Dou Tingwei?"
Cui Qianzhi stammered for a long time and finally said, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that this matter will be inconvenient to let others know. I also ask Your Majesty to allow me to climb the steps and report it!"
