Chapter 117: Not Enough
"Brother Huang, save me!"
The ninth princess entered the door, knelt on the ground without saying a word, and begged urgently. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
it!
The prince's face suddenly became gloomy, and a smile that had just been raised froze on his lips.
And the palace maids and eunuchs standing around were even more frightened, and they all hurriedly lowered their heads, desperately reducing their sense of existence, and had already scolded the ninth princess in their hearts: What a troublemaker, if you want to die, you will die by yourself, why do you pull us innocent people?!
People who have lived in the palace for a long time, whether they are masters or slaves, have a deep understanding of a truth, that is, 'the more you know, the faster you will die'!
A few months ago, Prince Yan's rebellion case had just come to an end, and the palace had undergone an extremely thorough purge, and many palace people were taken away and never returned.
Although they knew that they were dead outside, the palace people still felt that there was a thick bloody smell in the palace.
It was easy to escape the purge, and it was easy to survive with all the beards and tails, and before I could catch my breath, the most disgusting scourge in the palace, the ninth princess, came.
Woo, they didn't hear anything, they didn't want to die yet!
The palace maids and eunuchs kept trembling, and they didn't dare to make a sound, only hoping that their prince was a benevolent master who could let them leave as soon as possible.
The luck of these palace people was good, and just when they silently begged all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, the voice of the prince finally sounded in their ears: "You all retreat!" ”
As if they had been pardoned, they saluted and withdrew more quickly than ever, and finally the man at the bottom of the room closed the door considerately.
"Ah Jiu, what do you look like? Don't forget, you're a royal princess, how can you-"
The crown prince is the most peaceful and stable person, but at the moment, his words can't help but be a little harsh, which shows how dissatisfied he is with the ninth princess at the moment.
The ninth princess didn't seem to notice, walked a few steps on her knees, came to the prince's five-screen red sandalwood throne, and directly hugged the prince's thigh, "Woo, brother Huang, please save me!" ”
The prince's nose was about to be crooked, and he looked down at the figure that was degrading in his own way, and he wanted to raise his foot and kick people out.
He is a gentle and kind prince, the brother of the bear child on the ground, and he can't make a faux pas of kicking people in public or private.
Taking a deep breath, the prince suppressed the anger in his heart, pretended to sigh helplessly, bent down and reached out to grab the arm of the ninth princess: "You kid, it's good to say something directly in front of the imperial brother, why bother with this...... Hey, okay, get up, who made us angry? Tell Brother Huang, Brother Huang will help you call the shots! ”
The prince pulled the ninth princess up hard, and instantly turned on the 'intimate brother' mode, and said softly while wiping the tears of the ninth princess with a handkerchief.
The ninth princess snorted, she was really in tears. One is that I am really anxious, and the other is because of Fang Cai's kneeling - it hurts, my knee really fucking hurts!
"The mother is sick, my father and mother are old and have complicated affairs, I, I don't dare to bother, I think about it, only the royal brother can save me."
The ninth princess calmed down, turned back to the place where she was kneeling, picked up a box from the ground, and sent it to the prince's desk with both hands.
"This?" When the prince saw the contents of the box, he was slightly surprised.
Because there is nothing else in it, it is the smoking gun and cigarette paste that have been very popular in Beijing recently. Of course, that black cigarette paste also has a few nice names, 'fairy paste'!
The ninth princess blew her nose vigorously, with a slightly nasal voice, "That's right, it's the smoking guns and ointment that are rumoring outside." ”
The prince was puzzled, thinking of the communication of the inner servant just now, and asked: "Ah Jiu, could it be that this is the New Year's gift you want to give to Gu?" ”
This can be regarded as a rich gift, the smoking gun is okay, the 'fairy ointment' has long been hyped to a sky-high price, and it is still priceless. Unless there is a special doorway, many people have money that they can't buy.
The ninth princess hurriedly shook her head, with obvious horror in her eyes, "No, no, no, Ah Jiu will never give this thing to the imperial brother, woo, Ah Jiu doesn't want to hurt you." ”
Harm? Could it be that this thing is a poisonous substance?
The prince's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was naturally sensitive, and he immediately grasped the point, "Ah Jiu, how did you say this?" ”
The ninth princess struggled with her expression, and finally gritted her teeth, Fang leaned in front of the prince, lowered her voice and said, "Imperial brother, my mother and I used the Xiaoyao Pill before I fell into a coma...... A palace maid next to me accidentally dropped a piece of 'fairy paste' in Meow's food bowl, and Meow died that night...... And ......"
The ninth princess said half-truths and plausible, which sounds very unreliable at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, it can make people break out in a cold sweat.
The prince's face became serious, and he carefully read the words of the ninth princess in his mind:
Concubine Liu Xian fell into a coma for no reason, a good person became a living dead, the entire Tai Hospital had nothing to do, and even Qi Yao's amazing medical skills could only barely maintain Concubine Liu Xian's life, but could not revive her;
The cat raised by the ninth princess accidentally swallowed the tobacco paste and died violently;
There was also a palace maid who tried the medicine, and in just two months, she became skinny and depressed, as if she had lost her vitality......
These are all very good things to verify, so the ninth princess shouldn't lie.
If these are all true things, if you analyze them comprehensively, you will soon come to the conclusion that the so-called 'fairy ointment' and 'Xiaoyao pill' are not good things to cure diseases and relieve pain and refresh the mind, on the contrary, they are still highly poisonous things that can take people's lives and harm people half to death!
Suddenly, the prince remembered something, "I heard that Jimin Hall is the Liu family's property, right?" ”
And Jimintang is a pharmacy specializing in selling two kinds of pills, and if you find it a little longer, the person who first took out these two things is not someone else, but a young master in Yanenbo Mansion.
The Liu family is the maiden family of Concubine Liu Xian.
The ninth princess, as the granddaughter of the Liu family, ran to the future emperor of the empire and said that the things sold by the Liu family were harmful.
The ninth princess smiled bitterly, her eyes were full of despair and fear, she slowly knelt down and put her hands on the prince's knees, "So, I came to ask the imperial brother to save me." Because of this thing, I was originally the middleman and introduced it to the Liu family. ”
Middleman?
The prince's eyes flashed, "Oh, then who is working with the Liu family?" "It is estimated that this person is the target of the Nine Princesses' jealousy, and he is the main messenger of the whole incident.
All kinds of conspiracy theories poured into the prince's mind, and in just a few breaths, he had already made up a 'shocking conspiracy' in his brain.
The ninth princess swallowed her saliva and said in a low voice: "Yes, it is the granddaughter of Zhao Guogong and the fourth grandmother of Dongqi, Qi Yao." She said it was a good thing to heal, Brother Huang, you also know that she is good at medicine, I, I want my mother to get better as soon as possible, so, just-"
The ninth princess covered her face with her hands suddenly, and cried mournfully, in the slightest cry, she said vaguely: "Who expected, woo, I really didn't know that this was the case, it was still a good thing, but I didn't expect it to be a poison that harmed people." Now, now in Jingli, woo, brother Huang, what should I do? In the event of a death, what will I, what should I do? ”
The ninth princess cried so sadly, crying and hiccuping, with her tear stains on her face, and innocent and guilty big eyes, the small appearance is so pitiful!
"Qi, Qi Yao?" The crown prince was momentarily stunned, but soon returned to normal, his fingers gently rubbed the armrest of the throne, and said slowly: "Ah Jiu, you go through the whole thing carefully from beginning to end, and don't miss anything. ”
The ninth princess was still covering her face, nodding her head while crying, but in the corner where people couldn't see, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Yao Xiruo, I underestimated your ruthlessness before, and I didn't expect you to be a person with 'adventures', so I fell for your trick again, and you dragged the Liu family into the water, and even put myself in a predicament.
But this time she won't make the same mistake again, the ninth princess secretly swore in her heart that this time she would make Yao Xiruo pay the price completely!
Originally, the Ninth Princess only knew that Yao Xiruo was a bit evil, and she actually learned medical skills for no reason, but since Yao Xiruo drummed up the 'Xiaoyao Pill' and the 'Immortal Cream', the Ninth Princess woke up: Okay, this girl is also a wearer!
No wonder, she would be defeated at the hands of Yao Xiruo in her last life.
The ninth princess found a reason for the fiasco in her previous life, and then began to plan: how to solve the dilemma set by Yao Xiruo for her, and by the way, she can also yin Yao Xiruo once?
The most important thing is that the ninth princess also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to get closer to the second in command!
Now it seems that her plan has been half successful, at least the prince has listened to her words and believed two or three points, and the rest, the prince will naturally investigate.
If Yao Xi acts viciously, he is not very thorough, as long as the special talents investigate carefully, they will definitely gain something!
At that time...... Hmph, can Yao Xiruo's little head hold up the huge hat of poisoning the powerful, intending to corrupt the Great Qi army, and even wanting to overthrow the Great Qi regime?
The eyes of the ninth princess washed by tears are full of anticipation!
The prince listened to the ninth princess's story, but his eyes drifted out of the window, and through the bright glass window, he clearly saw the scenery outside.
Well, it's snowing again!
White snowflakes swayed and fell, and soon covered the roofs and streets, decorating the entire capital like a world of ice and snow.
However, under the snow, there are several undercurrents surging.
……
The capital ushered in the New Year in the ice and snow, but the Chinese New Year's Eve on the Wumeng side was spent in a long winter rain.
Gu Jialuo and Qi Jinzhi, the young couple, after experiencing the awkwardness of the 'round house', soon became like all newlyweds, sticky and entangled, full of affection, and even the entire government was immersed in a pink world.
Qi Jinzhi is even more proud, the smile on his face has not broken every day, his mood seems to be floating in the clouds, and his stupid handsome face is simply impossible to look at.
It is estimated that when he sees 'someone' in Dongqi (that is, Qi Mianzhi), he can also greet people with a smile, and say with a sense of affection: "Can you still adapt to it in Shuixi?" If you have any questions, just come to me......"
Of course, this is not going to happen. Because Qi Mianzhi and his brother are busy in Shuixi, where is the time to come to Wumeng to block Qi Jinzhi?
"Oh? Qi Mianzhi actually started a business? ”
Gu Jialuo sat cross-legged on the stepping bed in the western room, and sat cross-legged with her husband. Unlike before the 'round house', now the two of them are almost knees to knees, and the two of them are almost sticky together.
The affectionate appearance of honey and oil, even Ziwei and other maids couldn't bear it, and they retreated outside to wait for the dispatch.
This also makes it easier for young couples to speak.
Gu Jialuo asked in a low voice while playing with Qi Jinzhi's fingers.
The winter in the southwest is not too cold, but it is not very comfortable to stay outside, and it is rainy outside, so it is more comfortable for the two of them to huddle in bed and eat tea and chat!
The charcoal fire in the room was blazing, and there was hot ginger tea on the small kang table that was moved to the side, and the white porcelain incense burner next to the bed was burning with good-smelling spices, and there was a hand stove in his arms...... Tsk, don't be too comfortable with such a day!
It's a pity that the two of them mentioned a group of people who were heart-wrenching.
"That's right, I heard that we are still cooperating with several major families in Shuixi to do the business of medicinal materials and mountain delicacies together."
Qi Jin held the tea bowl in one hand, drank it in small sips, and let Gu Jia Rama rub it with the other hand, but he kept saying: "This is also a matter of no law, the difference between Qi Mianzhi and Qi Qinzhi is that he is just exempt from death, not from sin." Today's Qi Mianzhi is still a guilty person, he can't take the imperial examination, he can't enter the office, even if he wants to be a military household, he can only do the lowest kind of ......"
When Qi Mianzhi first came, he really wanted to start from the bottom, but the question is, is the bottom so easy to do?
As a pampered son of a family, the biggest ordeal in his life was only during the days of the edict.
But even in the edict prison, Qi Mianzhi was not bullied, let alone punished, except for eating and sleeping too poorly, and there were always terrible screams in his ears, he basically did not suffer any crime.
It's different in the barracks, the army has always been a place that pays attention to seniority, old birds bully rookies, petty officials bully small soldiers, don't do this kind of thing too easily.
Qi Mianzhi only stayed in the Shuixi camp for half a month, and then he couldn't hold on, and he still couldn't live at the bottom even if someone secretly helped.
The only way to turn over from the army is to go on.
As soon as the two brothers met, they had no choice but to take the last road, to engage in business - if they have no power, let's get more money and prepare sufficient funds for Qi Qinzhi, so that they can collect the old department as soon as possible and secretly establish the armed forces belonging to the Eastern Qi.
However, what Qi Qinzhi and Qi Mianzhi didn't expect was that Qi Mianzhi's departure made many of Qi Lingyuan's old departments, who were originally wavering, make a decision: switch to Ma Hanze.
No matter how bad it is, you can still contact Xiqi, after all, everyone has the same ancestors and dogmatic beliefs.
It's not that Qi Lingyuan's old subordinates are not loyal enough, it's really Qi Mianzhi's performance is too bad. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, but a person who can't even be a small soldier will never become a general.
Qi Qinzhi is capable, but he married the daughter of the Zhan family and intermarried with the Yi clan, so his position was easily questioned by the soldiers of the rectum.
Don't forget, the main duty of the southwest battalion is to keep an eye on the Yi people, and many of the military attaches in the camp have built on the lives of many mountain people.
The Great Qi Government and the Yi people couldn't really love each other at all, so the moment Qi Qinzhi became the uncle of the Zhan family, he lost his qualification to return to the camp!
Qi Mianzhi, his wife married very right, but he is really not a soldier, and he can't bear the slightest hardship, let alone go into battle to kill the enemy.
After seeing Qi Mianzhi's incompetence with his own eyes, Qi Lingyuan's old department was collectively silent, and then made a choice in the shortest possible time.
