The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 449 This Zhuge Wenqing is a ruthless person

Realizing that Li Mulan didn't seem to believe it, Yuan Chong continued, "Our people even found the apprentice of the imperial physician who examined Zhuge Wenqing at the time. The old imperial physician died early, but he told his apprentice about this. Zhuge Wenqing was indeed a eunuch, but it was definitely not caused by an injury in his childhood as he said, but a recent injury. But the old imperial physician at the time didn't want to cause trouble. Anyway, Zhuge Wenqing was already in this situation. When reporting to the emperor, he only said that it was indeed inhumane. He didn't say anything else."

"So, this Zhuge Wenqing volunteered to protect the queen..."

She couldn't bring herself to say the word "castration". How cruel it would be to herself. Li Mulan had a new respect for the former queen. Although she was dead, the Northern Qi emperor still missed her. Even the old phoenix was willing to treat Situ Lian for her. Now there was another one who was willing to be a eunuch for him? My god, what a powerful woman she was.

Li Mulan felt that she might never have her ability in this lifetime.

Yuan Chong's expression was also very intriguing. "I think so too. Zhuge Wenqing is a ruthless man. He is so ruthless even to himself."

"Has he done anything in the past two days?"

Yuan Chong sighed and shook his head, "So I am also very confused. He didn't make any movement at all."

"Where are Situ Lian's people? Didn't they go looking for him?"

"No."

"That's weird."

"Not strange." A soft voice sounded, and she was supported by Huo Yuanruo and came over.

Li Mulan immediately stood up and said, "Sister, why are you here? You'd better not move your feet too much."

Qingyu shook her head. "Nothing, I know what's going on. I suddenly remembered that there's something I forgot to tell you. There's a secret passage in Situ Lian's Prince's Mansion that leads directly to Zhuge Wenqing's mansion."

"What?" Yuan Chong stood up excitedly. "No wonder, whether it is the Crown Prince's Mansion or the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, there is no movement at all. I really thought they were under house arrest in their mansions."

Li Mulan snorted coldly, "We are not the kind of people who will sit and wait for death. How can we admit defeat just like that?"

"Keep watching carefully, and report to me immediately if you have any news."

"Yes. By the way, Princess, I haven't finished talking about Zhuge Wenqing just now. That is... When I was investigating the late queen, I found a maid in the late queen's palace. She said that she once told the late queen in her palace that Zhuge Wenqing was holding the little prince at that time, with an extremely loving expression, standing with the late queen. The three of them looked like a family of three, so the maid took a look. It is said that Zhuge Wenqing once gave the little prince the jade pendant passed down from their ancestors. That thing is said to be... a family heirloom. That is, it is basically passed down from father to son."

"At that time, the late queen also said that Zhuge Wenqing was wronged. So I wonder if this prince is not the bloodline of the Northern Qi emperor."

Li Mulan also began to think, "Zhuge Wenqing is a court official, how can he enter and leave the late queen's bedroom at will?"

"After the Northern Qi Emperor learned about Zhuge Wenqing's situation, he was completely relieved. In addition, he felt a little guilty for his previous suspicion of the late queen. He also knew that the two were friends, so he did not control them too much."

"This emperor is very generous. What is the evidence you mentioned?"

"The palace maid was just suspicious. She provided a clue and said that if there was really someone who knew the truth, it must be the prince's wet nurse. This person had left Ronghe City for many years, and her current residence is quite far from Ronghe City, so..."

"Bring the person here as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Yuan Chong bowed politely to Li Mulan, turned around and left. Before leaving, he glanced at the weak Qingyu.

This should be the culprit who caused unrest in Ronghe City a few days ago, the Crown Princess, right?

Li Mulan glanced at Jian Qi and said, "See if Nalande is in the mansion. If he is, let him come to see me."

"Yes."

Li Mulan looked at Qingyu and said, "Sister, go back and have a rest."

Qingyu looked at Li Mulan with some worry, her heart full of guilt. If it weren't for herself, Xiaojiu would not have to get involved in these things.

"Xiaojiu~"

Li Mulan smiled brightly, "Sister, go and have a rest. You don't have to worry about these things. I can handle them."

Qingyu was about to say something, but in the end she said nothing. In this life, she wanted to live a long life, to accompany Xiaojiu forever and take care of her. This might be the only thing she could do for Xiaojiu.

Nalande came over quickly. He looked a little haggard and had severe bruises under his eyes.

Li Mulan smiled and asked someone to come over and sit down, "Prime Minister, are you going to steal?"

Nalande smiled bitterly. He was only slightly surprised that Li Mulan saw him in her true appearance today.

"You know the recent situation in Ronghe City. I've been so busy that I don't have time to rest."

Li Mulan handed over a cup of tea. "This is the medicinal tea I prepared. It is refreshing and good for your health. Your Excellency the Prime Minister may want to try it."

Nalande drank the cup of tea in one gulp without saying a word.

Li Mulan raised her eyebrows. He drank this thing so casually? He really believed her.

"Are you used to drinking?"

"is acceptable."

"Then take some back later. The Prime Minister probably won't have much chance to rest recently."

Nalande paused holding the teacup, and immediately asked nervously, "But what news did you get?"

A quarter of an hour later, Nalande's face became even uglier.

He stood up suddenly, his chest heaving violently, and looked at Li Mulan without uttering a word.

Then he began to pace back and forth in the room, walking more than ten circles. Li Mulan couldn't bear it any longer, so she took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom and said, "The detoxification pills of Doctor Xuan should be able to cure the poison of the Emperor of Northern Qi. However, is the Prime Minister sure you want to save him?"

Nalande stared at the porcelain vase in a daze, neither saying whether to save it nor not.

Li Mulan didn't care about that. "The Prime Minister sent someone to deliver one thousand taels of gold today. It would be best if they had silver notes."

Nalande choked, but did not refute.

"When did you know that the emperor was poisoned?"

"Two days ago."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Li Mulan touched her nose and said, "Isn't the Southern General Xuanyuan Hong Situ Yue's uncle? He is your man now. I thought you already knew that."

Nalande sighed, "Situ Yue should have noticed that his relationship with General Zhennan has been very cold recently."

"No matter what, the Northern Qi emperor is not dead yet, so there is still time for everything. Situ Yue is easy to deal with, but you should worry about Situ Lian. The dog that doesn't bark is the most vicious, and this Situ Lian is really the same as Zhuge Wenqing. You should keep an eye on them to prevent them from causing any big trouble."

"Then the Situ Lian you just mentioned..."

"This is just my guess, and the witness is still on the way."

But Nalande knew in his heart that this girl was extremely perceptive, and his guess... was probably right.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Nalande bowed to Li Mulan and took the porcelain bottle away before leaving. As for whether it would be used by the Northern Qi emperor, who knows?
