The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 200: Follow me to the palace

As soon as Mu Jintang and Tang Peipei arrived at the palace gate, they saw a little palace maid who was delighted at first and then trotted towards them.

After bowing, she said, "I was sent by Madam Gong to wait for the general and his wife."

From the mouth of the young palace maid, Tang Peipei learned that Matron Gong was the very trusted matron beside Concubine Shu.

The young palace maid received the message from the maid in Concubine Shu's palace and learned all the ins and outs of the matter, as well as what happened in the Emperor's study.

Following the information given by the nanny, they first went to find the guard who delivered the letter, but they found that the guard who delivered the letter had disappeared mysteriously after the incident.

So they followed this clue and finally found the dead guard in a mass grave outside the city.

The witness is gone and there is no news of the original document.

This left Tang Peipei and his wife at a loss as to how to track down the case.

"I suspect the third prince was behind this." Tang Peipei said firmly.

Mu Jintang actually suspected the same thing, but they had no evidence.

Tang Peipei chuckled, "If you don't have evidence, you can fabricate it. Don't forget, their evidence is also forged. If they say our evidence is forged, then we'll ask them to produce evidence to prove that we forged it. I wonder what kind of evidence they can produce then?"

Mu Jintang held Tang Peipei in his arms and tapped her nose with a smile, "My wife is really smart."

Tang Peipei said without any shyness: "Of course, marrying me is your blessing."

Mu Jintang echoed, "Yes, yes, I will definitely cherish this blessing."

The two of them quickly came up with a plan.

At this time, the housekeeper hurried over to report that the eunuch Du who was with the emperor had arrived. He looked flustered and anxious, and kept talking about looking for Tang Peipei. When Mu Jintang and Tang Peipei heard about this, they couldn't help but have some guesses in their hearts. After looking at each other tacitly, they went to meet eunuch Du hand in hand.

When Eunuch Du saw Tang Peipei, a trace of joy flashed across his eyes, as if he saw a ray of hope in despair. He hurriedly stepped forward and said with a trembling voice: "Madam, you are finally here! Please follow me to the palace quickly. The emperor...he is not in good condition!" His words revealed great anxiety and worry.

Just one sentence, but Tang Peipei's thoughts went around in circles.

While having to praise the Third Prince for his good strategy, he also followed Eunuch Du into the palace.

Mu Jintang was naturally worried and wanted to follow.

Tang Peipei stopped her.

She should be able to solve this problem.

Mu Jintang is of great use outside now.

It is still unknown what the emperor’s mood is. If this was really done by the third prince, he would definitely be prepared.

And they now need to make two preparations. First, find someone to forge a letter that Concubine Shu originally wrote to the Fifth Prince as quickly as possible. Second, find the person who forged the letter for the Third Prince as quickly as possible. Third, gather as many useful soldiers as possible to be on standby as quickly and covertly as possible.

If the emperor cannot survive today, it will be a fierce battle.

The Third Prince must now think that the throne is his, but because no crown prince has been chosen, he is not the first in line of succession. He will definitely find a way to make himself the rightful successor.

Mu Jintang had too much to do, and she wanted to help him instead of slowing him down.

And even if there was an accident, as long as Mu Jintang arranged everything properly, she would be fine. She also had some ways to protect herself.

They are all on the same boat now, and the Fifth Prince is the captain. As long as the person at the helm is fine, then the people on the boat will naturally be fine.

The Third Prince wanted to use this incident to defeat the Fifth Prince, who was still somewhat of a threat to him, to avenge his own mother, and to add further damage to the Emperor's already poor health.

Want to kill three birds with one stone.

Then how could she let him have his wish?

At this time, it was almost time to lock the palace gates.

The palace gates would usually be closed and locked at the hour of You, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. The gates would not be opened again until the hour of Yin the next day.

Eunuch Du brought Tang Peipei into the palace before giving away the keys.

In order to reach the emperor's bedroom earlier, Eunuch Du directly called for a sedan chair and carried Tang Peipei all the way.

When Tang Peipei and others arrived, there were already many people waiting around the emperor, including imperial doctors, concubines, and princes.

She took a quick look and saw that the people outside the door were all maids of lower ranks, so she agreed.

Standing in the room were high-ranking concubines, princes and princesses, and of course, the imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau.

When Tang Peipei came in, she passed by the crowd and heard someone whispering, "I heard before that the emperor was not in good health. Now that the Fifth Prince and Concubine Shu have been so angry, I don't know how he is doing."

As he said this, he wanted to look inside the hall to see if he could see anything.

The people around him said, "Please keep your voice down. If someone hears you, you'll be killed before Concubine Shu."

The man then fell silent.

This inevitably made Tang Peipei think, what if the emperor died like this.

I'm afraid that even if they find evidence that the Fifth Prince was framed, the charge of being unfilial that would anger the Emperor to death would fall on him.

How could an unfilial person become an emperor and rule over millions of subjects?

Tang Peipei had an idea in mind and quickened his pace.

After entering the inner hall and about to approach the emperor, he was blocked by someone.

"Madam Mu, why are you coming to the palace at this time?" The third prince had a smile on his face, but his eyes were ferocious.

Tang Peipei didn't say much to him. She pushed away his hand that was blocking her and wanted to move forward.

How could the third prince give way so easily?

When he saw that the emperor felt much better after taking a pill, he paid attention.

Later, someone was asked to check and it was discovered that Tang Peipei had met the emperor.

When he thought that Tang Peipei could even cure the plague, he became uneasy.

Thinking about the news that it was the Fifth Prince who brought people into the palace to see the Emperor, and then thinking about how the Fifth Prince and Mu Jintang had worked together to control the epidemic in Qianzhou, provide disaster relief, and resettle the victims, it must have been at that time that the two of them got together.

It was a mistake that he didn't notice it for so long.

Thinking of Mu Jintang's soldiers and the influence of the Song family.

If Mu Jintang is Fifth Brother's man, then the Song family will definitely stand on Fifth Brother's side.

He didn't realize that his fifth brother had acquired so much power without realizing it.

He had always regarded the Fifth Prince as a clown, but he never expected that he would give him such a big surprise.

Now, he would certainly not let Tang Peipei easily enter the emperor's body.

Looking at the hand blocking her way, Tang Peipei became angry.
