The King of Shu is the little brother of the current emperor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info In the later years of the first emperor, when the princes took the heir, he was only six or seven years old, just entered the study for enlightenment, and his biological mother was a little beauty, with mediocre grace and mediocre family background. Such a little prince is not conspicuous at all in the harem, and no one regards him as an object that needs attention.

Therefore, the king of Shu survived the battle for the heir peacefully, and with his innocent performance, he received preferential treatment after the emperor ascended the throne. He and several other princes such as King Qin were canonized by the emperor as early as possible, gave the palace to the king, and got fiefs, all of which were of the highest rank. When he became an adult, he married the main concubines and side concubines, and they were all famous ladies, and none of them couldn't take it. If their biological mother is still alive, she is also very respected in the harem, and she has been living in Cining Palace with the Queen Mother, and her title has been improved.

Because of his young age, the king of Shu was frightened by his biological mother in the battle for the heir, and died of illness within two years, and he was taken back to Cining Palace by the queen mother to raise him, so he was particularly close to the queen mother. When he became an adult, he married the concubine who was the niece of the Queen Mother. He and Princess Tu are a well-known loving couple in the clan, and they have three sons and one daughter, all of whom are from Princess Tu.

This also means that the little son that the King of Shu is about to bring to the capital is actually the nephew of the Queen Mother!

This is how Zhao Shuo can not be panicked after getting the news?

At present, I don't know what the idea of the King of Shu and his son to go to Beijing was. If he simply brought his son over to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, it would be fine. If he also had an idea about the position of the East Palace, then his youngest son would really be an unprecedented enemy to Zhao Shuo.

This youngest son of the King of Shu is the nephew of the Queen Mother, so he can naturally get a big help from the palace, and he is also a help that the emperor cannot ignore. Similarly, the Tu family's power between the government and the opposition can also be used by him. Although Zhao Shuo currently has the help of the Wang family, he is also restricted by the Wang family and acts restricted, but the youngest son of the King of Shu does not have to worry about this.

Moreover, the king of Shu has a rich domain, if the king of Shu supports his youngest son to enter the royal family, then in terms of financial, material and human resources, everything is far better than Zhao Shuo. Even if things don't work out in the end, he just goes back to Shu and continues to be his little prince, and there is nothing to lose. However, Zhao Shuo did not have this confidence. If he achieves nothing in the capital and has to return to the Liao Palace, what awaits him is a dark future, and it is very likely that even his life will be buried.

The more Zhao Shuo thought about it, the more worried he became, only to feel that he had no bright future. In addition to fear, he also gave birth to a little resentment. The king of Shu lived a comfortable and prosperous life in Shu, so why couldn't he stay honestly? However, he had to go to the capital to fight for that place with him, he was really full of food and support, and his greed was insufficient!

Zhao Shuo spent a day in the palace with resentment and worry at the same time. Throughout the day, he had been worried about whether the emperor would summon him for questioning. But the emperor didn't seem to mean this, and just summoned the ministers of the court and the central government to deal with government affairs. Zhao Shuo could only inquire that the Wang clansman and his accomplices, who were arrested if they couldn't do it, seemed to have been sent to the heavenly prison, and other than that, he didn't find any news.

Zhao Shuo thought to himself: With the emperor's temper, since he has not condemned himself for a day, it must be okay?

Zhao Shuo held such expectations, and when the time for the next office came, he returned to his residence in a huff.

After entering the house, Zhao Shuo noticed that his newlywed wife, Xiao Wang, did not go to the front yard to greet him as usual. As for the concubine Lan Xue, he took care of her in advance, she has a big belly, and the fetus is important, so she doesn't have to run around, just recuperate in her own courtyard. Of course, these words also exempted Lan Xue from the obligation to serve in front of the mistress every day, and the Xiao Wang family was very unhappy, but it was not good to openly disobey Zhao Shuo's intentions.

Zhao Shuo went down to the office, but he didn't see his wife coming to greet him, and he suspected that it was because the Wang family intended to assassinate Zhao Mo, and she didn't have the face to see her, so she asked the housekeeper at home.

Before the steward could speak, Lan Fusheng, who had been staying at home today, stepped forward and replied: "If you go back to your uncle, someone from the Wang family came in the afternoon, and the lady talked with the man for a few words, and then hurriedly took him back to the Wang family, and he has not returned yet." ”

Zhao Shuo's face suddenly sank.

The housekeeper was the companion brought by Xiao Wang's family from the Wang family, and when he saw this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Uncle is angry, Mrs. heard that the old lady is a little bad today, and she was worried for a while, so she went back to visit." ”

Zhao Shuo sneered: "It turns out that Mrs. Wang is not good, I can probably guess the cause of her old man's illness." With that, he lifted his feet and walked into the house, his face still gloomy.

The steward didn't dare to say anything, so he could only signal his subordinates to hurry back to Wang's house to report to the seventh aunt and grandmother, and he was also a little puzzled in his heart, why didn't the seventh aunt and grandmother come back to the house yet? The steward didn't know what happened to the Wang family, and thought that it was really Mrs. Wang who was sick, and the male host, Zhao Shuo, was just dissatisfied with his wife and went back to her parents' house without saying a word.

Zhao Shuo returned to the inner courtyard, and his own maid stepped forward to take off his clothes for him, put on homely clothes, and brought refreshments. Where did Zhao Shuo have the leisure to go to the study room in the outer courtyard, summoned several henchmen, and told the news that he had heard in the palace today.

Zhen Zhong was the first to exclaim: "What? How could the Wang family know that his brother was in the Cheng'en Hou Mansion?!"

Jiang Cheng was the second to speak: "Brother is okay, right? But it's hurt? Then the Wang family really deserves to die! How dare you poison your brother!"

Lan Fusheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't speak. Shao Lusheng has always been honest, although he was surprised, he has always listened to Zhao Shuo's orders, so he only paid attention to Zhao Shuo's next instructions and did not say anything.

Zhao Shuo also had a little guess about the leakage of Zhao Mo's whereabouts: "I inquired with Gonggong Zhang in the palace, and Gonggong Zhang said that Qin Zhonghai of the Chengenhou Mansion repeatedly assured that they didn't know Mo'er's identity in advance, so naturally there was no way to leak it." The emperor knew that Mo'er was at Yongjiahou's place, but how could the emperor tell others about such a thing? Yongjiahou was almost implicated and was killed by Wang Cao, and the emperor was even more annoyed than others. In this way, the most likely leak is that we are here......" He raised his head and glanced at all his henchmen, "But I don't believe it, how could my people tell the Wang family such important news?!"

Lan Fusheng hurriedly said: "Uncle is right. We are all your people, and Brother Mo is your eldest son, our little master. How could we reveal his whereabouts to the Wang family?

Zhen Zhong also nodded: "Although Madame is the main mother, she has always been indifferent to us and has little contact. Besides, the lady has not yet given birth to an heir for the uncle, and there are many unvirtuous things. We respect her as a housewife and dare not slack off in the slightest, but the uncle is our master, and the lady will not be able to go past you no matter what. Uncle once had a strict order not to reveal our brother's whereabouts to the outside world. How dare we disobey the order, let alone tell Madame?"

Jiang Cheng asked: "Uncle, are the five of us really the only ones in this mansion who know my brother's whereabouts? Will anyone else know?"

Zhao Shuo thought for a while: "Lan Xue also knows, but she has been staying in the side courtyard and staying at home, let alone going to see Madame." She's just afraid she'll have to hide from Madame. ”

Jiang Cheng said bluntly: "Just in case, it's better for the uncle to ask Aunt Lan." Even if Aunt Lan doesn't leak secrets, what about the people around her? Did anyone hear anything?"

Zhao Shuo frowned. He remembered that Lan Xue had mentioned that among the girls waiting in her courtyard, there were eyes and ears planted by Xiao Wang...... But that girl has already been ordered to be chased, and a new person has come up, so it must not be someone sent by Xiao Wang's family again, right?

Lan Fusheng hurriedly said: "The girl in Aunt Lan's courtyard has only been changed for a short time, and the person is personally selected by the small one, and she can be trusted if she wants to behave." It's just that the day before yesterday, Mrs. Lan said that Aunt Lan was heavy, and she was afraid that she was giving birth for the first time and didn't understand a lot of things, so she specially sent two old grandmothers who had accumulated years to serve. I wonder if these two grandmothers are also the eyes and ears sent by Madame?"

Zhao Shuo snorted coldly: "She's very good at this kind of thing!"

After a while, the person sent turned around, and said to Zhao Shuo with an embarrassed face: "Aunt Lan said, the grandmothers took care of her, and they were quite attentive, but the fetal medicine that the grandmothers ordered someone to catch, the prescription was a little different from the medicine she asked the imperial doctor to prescribe before, she was not at ease, she didn't dare to taste it, and she didn't drink it for the past two days." Aunt Lan is also afraid that she will misunderstand the good people, so please bring the prescription and medicine residue to the uncle, and ask the uncle to find a doctor to ask, if the medicine is good, she can use it with confidence. ”

Zhao Shuo took the prescription and looked at it a few times, and saw that the first few flavors of medicine seemed to be nourishing, and it was not a big deal, so he put it aside and went to look at the bag of medicine residue.

The smell of the medicine residue was unpleasant, and the water vapor on it was still warm, presumably it had only been boiled for a short time. Zhao Shuo glanced at it twice, but didn't see anything, so he ordered someone to put it aside.

At this time, Lan Fusheng sensed that something was wrong, and stopped the subordinate: "Does this medicine smell wrong?" He took the medicine residue, flipped through it a few times, and took out one of the small round grains: "Isn't this barley?

Zhao Shuo's face suddenly changed: "Go and invite a imperial doctor!" Shao Lusheng hurriedly took the order.

Before Zhao Shuo could ask about the leak, he first came up with a drug plan, and his mood became more and more bad.

At this time, Lan Fusheng said again: "Regardless of the prescription, my brother is in distress in the Chengenhou Mansion, no matter who leaks his whereabouts, it is always the Wang family who commits the murder." It's impossible for Madame not to know about this, right? Uncle still has to ask clearly. If it is Madame's intention, Uncle can't let it go lightly anymore! Madame's behavior has become more and more excessive recently. If you continue to indulge, you don't know what you will do in the future. Although the uncle needs to rely on the Wang family, in the final analysis, the Wang family is only an auxiliary, and the uncle is the master! The main and auxiliary are different, and the Wang family is dizzy and has forgotten to measure proportions!"

Zhao Shuo was awakened by his words, and nodded with a calm face: "You are right. Wang Jia...... It's time to give it a good beating!" )
