It was hot and humid for a few days, and finally ushered in a heavy rain, the rain stopped in the evening, when a touch of sunset dyed the sky red, Yuwen Xi came to Yuquan Palace with a jar of wine.

Yu Wenyou was sitting in the chess pavilion, and when he saw that he had lost the chess pieces in his hand, he smiled: "It's very boring to play chess alone, Lao Jiu, you came at the right time." ”

The fragrance of flowers from all directions poured over, as well as the freshness of the grass, Yu Wenyou's whole person looked more energetic, a wide deep coat on his body, the neckline was wide open, revealing fair and delicate skin, the good-looking Danfeng looked at people with always arrogant appearance, long eyebrows into the sideburns, pointed hems, lazily leaning on the bamboo couch, a bit of the temperament of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, leaving the court, he also liked such leisure.

Yuwensi bowed down to see the driver, and Yuwenyou waved his hand: "This is not in the court, there is no need for too many rules between brothers." ”

Then he pointed to the rattan chair opposite him and asked him to do it, and he was also helped by a small chamberlain to sit up straight, and looked at the wine jar in Yuwenxi's hand with great interest: "I haven't been in good health recently, the imperial doctor told me not to eat wine, you come and see, I haven't eaten wine for a few days, and I haven't seen any better, so today our brothers are drunk and resting." ”

Yu Wenxi had a ghost in his heart, tried his best to keep calm, put the jar on the stone table, called someone to get two wine cups out, personally sifted the wine, one for each other, he picked up the wine glass and said: "The imperial brother is for the country and the people, the day is full of opportunities, the younger brother is ashamed, he can't share it for the imperial brother, it's okay to accompany the imperial brother to have a good meal, the imperial brother please!"

Yu Wenyou laughed: "Lao Jiu, you are the most reassuring to me, so I have such a plan, you are also in charge of the Zongren Mansion, so you simply put on the battle and be a majestic general." ”

This was a bit unexpected, Yu Wenxi hurriedly stood up and said: "The younger brother is a scholar, and he is already overstretched in charge of the Zongren Mansion, and he doesn't know kung fu, and he hasn't read military books, so he doesn't know how to lead troops to fight at all, so where can the younger brother be a general." ”

Yuwenyou took a sip of wine, pressed his hand down, signaled Yuwenxi to be calm and not impatient, he said: "I don't want you to fight and kill, I just want you to keep an eye on those individuals, they used to be under the command of Gongyituo, I am afraid that they have different intentions, but these ministers and brothers in the court, I trust you the most." ”

This was said sincerely, Yu Wenxi looked at the wine jar, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, just thinking about the fact that the poison in this is very small, if he doesn't take it in the future, it shouldn't be toxic, for Yu Wenyou's arrangement, he can only bow down and thank him: "Since the imperial brother trusts, the younger brother should never give up." ”

Yu Wenyou bowed his head with satisfaction: "This matter is not in a hurry, those Nanban Beidi Dongyi Xirong are also quite honest recently, and it is not a big deal to make a few waves of banditry, I don't need you to come out, come, let's eat and drink." ”

There is an antidote to this slow-onset poison, and Yu Wenxi has already taken it in advance, so he drank happily with Yu Wenyou, and when the two brothers were drunk, they talked a lot, and the scope was wider, and they talked about Lan Yi's harmony with the princess, and the husband and wife were both celebrities, so the city was full of turmoil, and Yu Wenxi doubted: "The royal brother believes in the rumors, saying that the son of Gong Tuo is Su He's biological son." ”

Yu Wenyou took a sip of wine, at this time it was already dark, there was already a chamberlain maid to take the windproof lantern to hang in the four corners of the chess pavilion, the pavilion was bright, attracted a lot of mosquitoes, and the chamberlain burned wormwood around the pavilion, the cigarette whisked, drove away the mosquitoes, and also made people drowsy.

Yu Wenyou supported himself with one hand, his eyes were half-squinted and half-open, he smiled faintly, like a bewitching queen, and said: "Of course I don't believe it, because I know Lan Yi." ”

Yuwen was taken aback, and now that the imperial brother has called people like this, a wave of jealousy rose in his heart, and he said tentatively: "It's a pity that the fox clan is widowed at a young age." ”

Gong Tuo is about to be killed, and Lan Yi is not about to become a widow.

Yu Wenyou's drunkenness deepened, and he clasped his forehead with his fist and said, "Lan Yi will not become a widow, but will become my concubine." ”

So frank and clear, Yuwen congratulated against his will, grabbed the wine cup and continued to eat wine, eating a little fiercely, choking, the wine squirted out from the nose and overflowed from the corner of his mouth, he coughed violently, the emperor lost his manners, even if he was a brother, he hurriedly stood up: "Brother is drunk, so he will retire." ”

Yu Wenyou was a little reluctant: "I haven't finished having fun yet, so it's better to take another jar of wine." ”

Yu Wenxi refused to stay: "Brother Huang, forgive me, my brother is not strong enough to drink, this time my head will be dizzy, I can't eat anymore, tomorrow when my brother wakes up with this wine, I will accompany the imperial brother to drink." ”

He insisted on going, but Yu Wenyou was inconvenient to stay, so he instructed the chamberlain: "Send the Nine Kings out, all the way to the Nine Kings Mansion, and watch the Nine Kings sleep and you come back to restore your life, I don't worry here." ”

The inner servant led the decree and carried Yuwen out of Yuquan Palace.

Yu Wenyou leaned on the couch, looked at the wine jar in front of him, and called a certain waiter to come over: "It's called Chen Tingzhu." ”

The waiter said "yes", turned around and left, and it took half an hour to come back, followed by a half-monk and a strange man who looked like a Confucian, he wore a Taoist robe, his hair was in a bun, a few strands of beard, and his mouth turned out to be "Amitabha".

This is Chen Tingzhu, who is a talented man in Jiangnan, talented, but repeatedly failed, deigned to do a western seat in Dazai's house, one day the royal car went to Dazaifu, and happened to meet Chen Tingzhu in writing, others wrote an article, he made an article is recited, so Yu Wenyou heard that the whole article is a good strategy to help the world and the people, Yu Wenyou greatly appreciated, because he had no fame, he temporarily accepted as a behind-the-scenes strategist, and got along for a while, and found that Chen Tingzhu was not only Wen Tao Wu Strategy, but also knew the art of Huang Huang, so Yu Wenyou found him.

"Long live my emperor!"

Chen Tingzhu wanted to bow three times and bow nine times, and blocked Yu Wenyou, and then pointed to the wine jar and said, "Come and see, there is something strange here." ”

It turned out that he didn't believe in Yu Wenxi at all, and it was no wonder that he was holding a jar to fight wine, Yu Wenxi This was the first time, Yu Wenyou had to doubt his intentions, and Yu Wenyou himself was suspicious, and he was always on guard against other people's calculations.

The wine in the jar was very small, Chen Tingzhu poured a little bit in the wine cup, sorry, he knew the art of disambiguation, but he did not have Lan Yi's special sense of smell, after tasting and sniffing carefully, he didn't find anything wrong, the dose of the slow-hair poison was very small, just as Concubine Meng said, it was so little that the imperial doctor couldn't detect it, Yuwenxi did it.

The reason why Yu Wenyou looked for Chen Tingzhu and did not announce the imperial doctor was because he was afraid that others would know that their brothers were not harmonious, just like he did to the Queen Mother at the beginning, and wanted to create a false impression of family harmony for outsiders.

Hearing that everything was normal, Yu Wenyou let out a long breath and thought to himself, this ninth brother is still good.

Since then, Yu Wenyou has often eaten and drunk with Yu Wenxi, and he has never doubted it.
