Snow, all the time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The annual New Year's Day pilgrimage meeting was held normally, but the saints and officials all had tense faces, and there was no joy in the New Year.

The banquets of the wealthy and powerful are much less than in previous years, and when they have to go out as guests, they have to change their expressions of worrying about the country and the people as soon as they go out.

When he opened his mouth, he said, "I don't know if the prince is safe", "whether the disaster in Jidi and Gyeonggi can be alleviated", and other questions.

As for all the frolicking, amusement, and hundreds of operas, they were all suspended, although it was not a national funeral, and the entire capital was even quieter than the national mourning period.

There is no way, the saint has lost the most outstanding heir, and he is unhappy in his heart, the lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, where do the subordinates dare to blatantly celebrate the New Year?

But those are when the door is opened, when the door of the house is closed, the family gets together to have a hot drink, a small card or something, you can be free.

Therefore, since Chinese New Year's Eve, the number one family in the capital has closed the door, and the family gathers around the warm room to eat wine around the fire, or leisurely admire the snow and plum blossoms through the transparent glass window.

But this laid-back days didn't last long.

Because the snow has not stopped. Snowflakes with goose feathers fell silently. The vast sky is like an infinite quilt, which is constantly being torn and thrown down.

The snow on the ground went from being instepless at first to more than a foot thick.

By the fifth day of the first lunar month, the snow in the low-lying part of the capital was almost reaching people's thighs.

As far as the eye can see, the capital is white, as if there is no end in sight, coupled with the snowflakes flying in the sky, the scene makes people almost desperate.

The soldiers of Shuntianfu and the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses were dispatched in unison, constantly clearing the snow on the streets.

However, the snow kept falling, but the manpower was limited, and after two or three days of busyness, it was only a passable road to clear the east and west streets.

Many alleys in the capital were directly flooded by heavy snow, and the thick snow blocked the gates, and many people were trapped in their homes.

The moat outside the city has long been frozen, and the ice is covered with a thick layer of snow, and the official road is covered with heavy snow, making it impossible for farmers on the outskirts of Beijing to pass at all.

Fortunately, in recent years, every household has stocked up on a large number of New Year's goods, so there is no need to worry about food in a short time.

You can't be hungry, but you can freeze. The people in the city buy firewood or charcoal from farmers outside the city for heating, and after a long time, the charcoal stored at home is gradually insufficient.

If the snow doesn't stop, people will freeze to death.

At this moment, not only the people were anxious, but even the nobles who were high up and did not worry about firewood and rice were also panicked.

If the official road is blocked, the news from outside will not be able to come in, and if this continues, the capital is very likely to become a lonely city, a lonely city covered by heavy snow.

However, this is not the most alarming, I don't know when it started, a rumor began to circulate in the market-

"The eldest prince colluded with the rebellious people in Jizhong, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate the prince, with bad intentions!"

"The eldest prince is the most sweet-faced hypocrite, and he got it to deal with other princes with highly poisonous monsters like Yingsuzi."

"The eldest prince has frequent contact with Uliangha, and he has long been disobedient!"

"The Great Prince......

There are all kinds of rumors in the market, but the spearhead is all pointed at King Qi, the great prince who is known for his elegant and virtuous name.

Gu Jialuo listened to the reply, and his heart was pounding violently.

Qi Jinzhi's face sank like water, perhaps he had guessed it a long time ago, but now that he heard the wind, he calmed down.

"Uncle, grandma, my subordinates also inquired that since the day before yesterday, the Qi Wangfu has been closed to guests, and the external rhetoric is that the King of Qi's old illness has relapsed and needs to rest in bed. He Yuan of Tai Hospital is going to check the pulse in person and has verified the news. ”

Qi Dayong bowed back and said.

"A recurrence of an old disease? Could it be that the eldest prince's drug addiction has been committed again? ”

Gu Jialuo was slightly startled and blurted out.

In later life, she had heard that opium was hard to get rid of.

If you want to quit drug addiction, you must have a strong will, and in addition, you must have an absolutely cooperative environment.

If there is a slight negligence, drug addicts will relapse.

Qi Jin's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something. But he didn't rush to speak, but listened quietly.

Qi Dayong nodded vigorously: "That's right, my subordinates sent people to the vicinity of the Qi Palace, and I learned from the servants in the palace that the situation of the eldest prince is indeed not good." After his poison was cured by Divine Doctor Yao that day, everyone thought that he would take the initiative to stay away from that harmful thing, but who would have thought that he had secretly hidden a large amount of 'fairy ointment'. If it weren't for the fact that the sage found out that the eldest prince's complexion was not quite right during the Great Dynasty Meeting, and secretly detained the people of the Qi Palace's palace for torture, this matter would not have been exposed so quickly. ”

Gu Jialuo thought about it, but she could understand that she had never taken drugs, but it was mentioned in some books or TV that she read in later generations that the reason why this kind of thing is addictive is because it makes people flutter and feel extremely comfortable after smoking.

People who have never smoked it will naturally not be able to appreciate the addict's craving for opium.

When the eldest prince first 'fell ill', everyone in the world thought that he was poisoned, but this poison is not the other poison, who would have thought that someone would be addicted to this harmful poison?!

After sending Qi Dayong away, Gu Jialuo murmured with some doubts, "What is the eldest prince going to do?" In order to clear up the relationship, he did not hesitate to use bitter meat tricks? ”

But the cost of this bitter meat plan is too great, there is such a thing as a recurrence of drug addiction, there will be a second time, and the eldest prince is very likely to be unable to quit for life, and finally die on the smoking gun.

Could it be that the prince's truth has nothing to do with him?

Gu Jialuo set his eyes on Qi Jinzhi and asked silently.

Qi Jinzhi nodded and shook his head again, "The eldest prince is indeed ruthless enough, but it is not incomprehensible. If Qi Yao can save him once, he can save him a second and third time. Although the method is a little harsh, it is very effective. No, as soon as the news of King Qi sucking immortal ointment spread, the rumors in the market suddenly disappeared. ”

Gu Jialuo nodded slowly, making sense.

Qi Jinzhi continued: "As for whether he is innocent or not, it's hard to say. Let's not rush, let's wait and see what happens. ”

Many powerful people also have the same idea, and no one wants to be the first sheep.

The only exceptions are the prince and princess of King An.

The husband and wife discussed in the secret room, and the princess went to Furong Garden and found Liu Chuchu.

"How? Have you found out? How many shadow guards do Xiao Yu still have in her hands? Do you have the seal? ”

The princess grabbed Liu Chuchu's arm and asked eagerly.

Liu Chuchu swallowed her saliva, she has lived in King An's Mansion for a long time, her understanding of the princess has become more and more profound, and she has suffered several painful lessons, she is only afraid of this woman now, and she no longer has the self-righteous disdain she had at the beginning.

Her right hand trembled uncontrollably, and she trembled and took out a palm-sized purse from her sleeve pocket.

The princess snatched it up, pulled out the drawstring, squinted one eye and looked into the purse, and the phoenix dance nine heavens jade pendant carved from mutton fat jade was placed in it......
