Chapter Ninety-Seven: Two Clearings
In the palace, from morning to evening, the Queen Mother was playing chess with Concubine Meng, so Concubine Meng could not learn the results of the autopsy in time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Later, Concubine Meng couldn't help it, so she returned to Shaohuaxuan on the grounds of back pain.
As soon as she returned to Shaohuaxuan, she immediately sent someone to invite the second prince Li Ji to come over.
As soon as Li Ji entered the door, Concubine Meng knew it in her heart. In the past, Li Ji was always smiling, but at this time, his face was solemn.
Concubine Meng hurriedly asked the palace maids to retreat, and after closing the door herself, she asked, "What did they find out?"
The second prince took his robe and sat down and said, "Jiang Chuanxiong's son Jiang Yueting has noticed something unusual. ”
"What?" Concubine Meng's eyes widened suddenly.
That hairy kid who was only five years old could see something unusual?
Concubine Meng hurriedly asked what was going on. The second prince lowered his voice and told what happened.
"If it weren't for him, no one else would have noticed the small difference. The second prince sighed.
When Concubine Meng heard this, a ruthless color flashed in her eyes, and she said, "I heard that Shangguan Che applied to His Majesty to let that kid go." ”
"Hmm. ”
Concubine Meng said coldly: "This person is already so powerful at a young age, and he will definitely be even more difficult to deal with when he grows up." ”
"Well, but now is not the time to pursue this, let's think about the next response. You really don't know what that stuff is, do you?"
When he said the latter sentence, he deliberately suppressed his voice to the extent that only she could hear it.
Concubine Meng glanced at him and said, "I really don't know, only Sima Yu knows." ”
"Where did the recipe come from?"
"I don't know. ”
The second prince half-narrowed his eyes and said, "It's strange that he does things, and he even refuses to reveal half of these to his collaborators." ”
"Maybe he thinks that the more people who know, the more danger of being discovered. But he had told me that the person I had invented had been secretly killed by his people, and that no one in the world would ever know about it again. ”
After hearing this, the second prince fell into deep thought.
After a while, he said, "I have to see Sima Yu immediately." ”
Concubine Meng hurriedly took his hand and said, "Now that the limelight is hot, it is not appropriate to meet him, you should contact him in a secret letter." ”
"There are things that the letter says that I will have to see him in person. Don't worry, I'll ask him to meet him in a secret place. ”
"What do you want to talk to him about?" asked Concubine Meng with a panicked expression.
The second prince patted the back of her hand and said, "About the ins and outs of this matter." We have to know, otherwise we will be very passive. ”
Concubine Meng didn't stop him anymore, and after carefully admonishing him, she let him go.
The second prince asked Sima Yu to meet that night in a private room in a tavern near the side of the mountain in a certain district of the capital.
When he received this secret letter from the second prince, Sima Yu was talking with two of his subordinates, and he couldn't see any expression on his face.
After the two men left, Sima Yu threw the letter into the furnace.
"The second prince is smarter than his mother. Sima Yu said in his heart.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of Concubine Meng's lack of assertiveness and his desire for his son to ascend the throne to achieve the goal of controlling the country from behind step by step, but now he got a big lesson that he regretted.
As soon as that great plan failed, he set about destroying all evidence that would be unfavorable to him and Concubine Meng's mother and son, chief among them those who had been appointed to assist in the implementation of this great plan.
He got rid of them in two months.
I thought I could finally live my life in peace, but I didn't expect that Imasami would secretly send someone to investigate the matter.
He knew very well - there was still Concubine Meng who knew and participated in this matter at the moment. He often thinks of the phrase 'Skynet is restored but not leaked', so he is often worried that she will accidentally say something on her side. If that happens, then he and she are both doomed.
Therefore, after some consideration, he chose to fight alongside her.
Now that the second prince wants to see him, he doesn't have to think much about it to know what it's for. He didn't really want to see either of them right now.
However, it is even more inappropriate to tear your face with them at this time.
He finally agreed to the appointment.
This mountainside tavern was deserted at night, so when Sima Yu walked in towards the door of the tavern, he was inexplicably relaxed.
The second prince, Li Ji, wore a set of scholar's clothes and a fake beard on his face, and when he saw Sima Yu coming in, he raised his hand and beckoned to the other party.
As soon as the door to the box closed, there were only the two of them inside.
The second prince, Li Ji, said straight to the point: "Lord Sima, now that you have the evidence of that prescription over there, Your Majesty will inevitably send someone to investigate this prescription in depth, so that the situation will become more and more unfavorable to us." ”
Sima Yudang understood the real purpose of asking him out this time, and said with a smile: "I know, but they won't find out the results, because the only person in this world who can make that kind of prescription is no longer alive." ”
"Who is that man?Are you sure he is really dead?Where did he die??," the second prince asked busily.
Sima Yu took a few sips of wine unhurriedly, and then told him roughly about the fact that he had sent Zhou Tong to kill the hermit.
"Is Zhou Tong still there?" the second prince immediately asked after hearing this.
Sima Yu still had a smile on his face, and asked rhetorically, "What does the Second Highness think?"
Now the second prince understood, and immediately smiled as relieved, and then he said: "In this way, this case is about to become a permanent mystery. ”
"Probably yes. ”
"What's the name of that medicine?" the second prince asked again.
Sima Yu smiled and took a few sips of wine again, and said, "I don't know." Soon after the prescription was developed, I asked for it, and I didn't have time to name it. But I would have liked it to have a pretty name, so I took it upon myself to name it 'Smile of the Rose'. ”
When he said this, a faint smile appeared in Sima Yu's eyes.
In the reflection of the light, the smile had a hint of weirdness.
The second prince's face instantly tensed, he leaned forward sharply, and slapped Sima Yu in the face.
Sima Yu's smiling eyes suddenly changed, and then turned into indifference and banter.
"Second Highness, you should know who I and the Imperial Concubine are planning all this for, right?" asked Sima Yu, his expression smiling rather than smiling.
"Yes, I know, but from now on we're clear. The second prince said, took out a fan from his pocket and threw it on the table, then got up and left quickly.
Sima Yu opened the fan and saw that the painting painted on the fan was the authentic work of Zheng Dou, a famous painter of the Zhao Kingdom, that he had always wanted to have.
