Chapter 467 Could It Be that the Emperor Really Knew?

I wonder if Xie Mingan’s warning had any effect.

A month passed, and King Shu and Concubine Qi made no more unnecessary moves.

Every time Shen Ningning went to the palace to play with Mo Lingwei, she heard that Concubine Qi had been heartbroken since the Ninth Prince left.

He stayed in the hall all day long, thanking guests behind closed doors, and devoted himself to chanting Buddha's name.

Even when the emperor asked about his concerns several times, she always answered him through the door.

If Shen Ningning hadn't known her true nature, she wouldn't have been honest, and he really thought she had changed her ways.

Early autumn is coming, and Shen Ningning went to the shop to check the accounts.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the store, Wu'er hurried over: "Sister, there was a beggar lying at the door last night. He was unrecognizable and dying, but he kept saying that he wanted to see you."

Shen Ningning stared slightly: "Where are they?"

"We were afraid that he was someone you knew, but we were also worried that he might be carrying the disease, so we temporarily sent him to the woodshed in the backyard where we live."

Shen Ningning quickly asked Wu'er to lead the way.

When I rushed to the woodshed, I opened the door and took a look.

Sure enough, there was a man who looked like a beggar, lying on the ground and sleeping.

Wu'er and the others spread a soft mattress for him, and there was a bowl of water on the ground next to him.

The little girl took two steps closer and could smell his unpleasant breath.

But Shen Ningning didn't dislike it, she just looked at his exposed face more curiously.

From the brow bone to the chin, the entire left side of the face seemed to have been burned by fire. The face was distorted and looked a bit scary, but Shen Ningning only looked at it for a moment and recognized it immediately.

"It's Mr. Zhang Liu!" Sure enough, as the second brother said, he is still alive!

Shen Ningning hurriedly asked: "Have you visited the doctor?"

Wu'er shook his head: "Because he was afraid that his identity would be unknown and cause trouble to my sister, Aunt Yun said not to disturb the doctor for the time being. We fed him several times with the mountain spring water in the store."

The mountain spring water in the shop was brought up by Shen Ningning from Langshan Mountain every day.

In fact, it is spiritual spring water.

Fortunately, she had learned the Qihuang technique from the magician, and she quickly leaned over to feel Zhang Liuye's pulse.

The pulse is mixed and changeable. There is no serious disease. I am afraid that I have been hungry for too long and my body is very weak.

Shen Ningning immediately asked Wu'er to boil brown sugar eggs.

As soon as Wu'er left, Master Zhang Liu heard the noise and gradually woke up.

"My boss, is it you, my boss..." Mr. Zhang Liu's tone was weak, his eyes were cloudy, but he tried his best to see something clearly.

Shen Ningning quickly held his hand: "It's me, Uncle Zhang. You are finally back. When I heard that you were buried in a sea of ​​fire, we were all anxious!"

Mr. Zhang Liu kept coughing, and Shen Ningning helped him sit up and gave him water.

After waiting for a while, he looked around and realized that he was truly safe, and then burst into tears.

"Boss, I almost couldn't see you." He cried and told his bitterness of hiding in Tibet all the way.

Listening to Zhang Liuye's intermittent words, Shen Ningning gradually understood what happened.

It turned out that when he led the farmers to plant sweet potato vines, he was met with difficulty by Mr. Li.

The Li family asked him for bribes several times, but he refused to give them, causing the tragedy of the fire behind them.

Fortunately, he had long discovered that Mr. Li wanted to kill him, so he dug a hole in a corner of the Sweet Potato Vine Barn in case he could escape from time to time.

Sure enough, he guessed it right.

The fire spread in the middle of the night. He drank a lot of wine that night and crawled out of the hole while maintaining his consciousness.

He didn't dare to look back, knowing that someone wanted his life, so he could only keep running away.

It wasn't until he ran into the mountains that he dared to hold on to the tree and look back. His hard work for more than a year had already been swallowed up by the sea of ​​fire.

It was also at that time that Zhang Liuye felt pain on his face. It turned out that he was still injured by the fire, but he couldn't care about it and could only leave the place of right and wrong quickly.

After that, the Li family probably discovered that his body was not there, so they secretly sent people to track it down.

Mr. Zhang Liu did not dare to return to the capital, and he had no way to secretly write a letter to Shen Ningning. He was afraid that his letter would be intercepted by the Li family before it arrived.

He could only hide in the mountains and find some fruit to satisfy his hunger.

It wasn't until Shen Ningning brought the Li family and Xie Yuanjiu to justice that Zhang Liuye went down the mountain to beg and heard the news, so he dared to come to the capital.

He had a very difficult journey along the way, relying entirely on begging to reach the capital step by step.

Shen Ningning felt uncomfortable listening to the bitterness he told her.

"Uncle Zhang, when you have recovered, follow me into the palace and explain the matter to the emperor's uncle. The emperor's uncle will definitely remember your merits and give you a good reward so that you can live the rest of your life in peace."

But Mr. Zhang Liu shook his head hurriedly: "No, no! Boss, I suspect this matter is not that simple. There must be someone from the Li family in the palace."

Shen Ningning frowned in confusion.

Is there any internal response?

She always thought that it was Xie Yuanjiu's idea that the Li family did that.

But Mr. Zhang Liu said: "During the time when I was arguing with Mr. Li, he kept threatening me with nobles in the capital. He also said that even if I sued the capital, there would be nobles to intercept my letters for him, so that the emperor could not even Wouldn’t believe my words.”

Mr. Li will never scare him with empty words.

Shen Ningning's watery eyes turned: "Could it be that the person he wants to talk about is Concubine Qi?"

Mr. Zhang Liu didn't know who it was, he just looked confused.

"But if you are a noble person in the palace, why do you want to prevent us from planting sweet potato vines and wreak havoc?"

Shen Ningning sighed: "Because that person doesn't want Cangyun Country to survive the natural disaster."

If sweet potato vines can be planted in large quantities, it will solve the problem of food and clothing for many people.

And the people who caused these natural disasters obviously want Cangyun Country to have a hard time!

This coincides with the natural disaster system that Master Gu and Shen Ningning talked about.

That person controls the so-called system and has been making trouble.

Soon, Wu'er came with brown sugar eggs.

Master Zhang Liu was too weak, and Shen Ningning was worried about letting him live somewhere else.

So she called the guards of the Princess's Mansion and carried him to the Princess's Mansion.

There were special doctors and palace maids to take care of him, and Master Gu was also there to accompany him.

After another half a month, Master Zhang Liu's health improved, and Shen Ningning immediately took him into the palace. She was afraid of alerting the enemy, so she met the emperor secretly.

The spy arranged by the King of Shu reported the matter to the King of Shu that night.

"The princess brought a stranger into the palace. The stranger was wearing a cloak and his face could not be seen. He just went into the imperial study and stayed there for half an hour before coming out."

The King of Shu narrowed his eyes. The candle on the table was burning brightly, casting his shadow on the treasure rack, with mottled and distorted shadows, like a demon.

"What on earth do they want to do?"

Not long after, the King of Shu's spy learned that the emperor secretly summoned Xie Mingan and said something.

A few days later, an imperial edict came from the palace.

The emperor actually wanted to abolish Concubine Qi, demote her to a commoner, and send her to the cold palace!

The King of Shu was shocked and asked for the reason from many sources. He heard that the emperor found out that Concubine Qi was hiding something from him.

At that moment, the King of Shu was in a mess!

Could it be that the emperor really knew? (End of this chapter)
