The expressions of the Queen Mother and Sun Baicao instantly turned livid.
This is a dead end!
Lin Mo did not expose their conspiracy directly, but used a reason that no one could refute and kicked the ball back.
Now, the problem faced the Queen Mother.
Should I move this orchid or not?
Not moving would be tantamount to telling everyone that she had something going on in her mind and was deliberately pretending to be sick.
Moving, when she recovers, it will be equivalent to admitting in front of the civil and military officials of the court that Lin Mo's medical skills are even better than Sun Baicao!
For Sun Baicao, the famous old miracle doctor, this was tantamount to a slap in the face in public!
And it shoots from left to right, making a snapping sound!
Empress Dowager Wu's pretty face was frosty. She never expected that the fatal situation she had set up would be easily resolved by this kid in such an incredible way.
After a long time, she coldly ordered: "Someone... take that pot of flowers to the Ai family... and move it out!"
These words made everyone look at each other in shock.
Many people looked at Sun Baicao with different expressions: questioning, contempt, sympathy...
Sun Baicao's old face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
It can be said that I was so ashamed and angry that I wished I could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
In this competition, Lin Mo won a great victory!
When Lin Mo returned to the imperial study and asked Liu Lie to report the matter in detail.
Liu Lie's face was filled with joy and he laughed loudly, "Hahaha... I knew you would not let me down, Lin Aiqing!"
"If you do well this time, I will reward you heavily!"
Hearing this, Lin Mo's face was filled with joy, but he felt extremely awkward in his heart: "Uh... I slept with your queen last night, and today I got a lot of rewards. Why do you feel so weird?"
Just when Liu Lie was about to open his mouth to award the reward, a guard suddenly rushed in from outside the hall with a panicked expression and fell to his knees with a thud.
"Your Majesty! Something bad has happened!"
Liu Lie frowned and said, "Why are you so alarmed?"
The guard replied: "A large group of scholars and Confucian scholars came outside the palace gate. There were hundreds of them!"
"Led by several adults from the Ministry of Rites, they beat the Dengwen drum outside the palace gate and said... that they wanted to express their grievances!"
"What grievances are there?!" Liu Lie said in surprise.
"They say that the work-for-relief policy implemented by Your Majesty is... an evil method that competes with the people for profit and harms the country and the people!"
"They demand...demand that the government confront and debate the person who made the suggestion, otherwise...otherwise, blood will be splashed on the palace gate, and the will will be revealed in death!"
The news came like a bolt from the blue!
