Chapter 134: Shocking
"Princess, are youβare you feeling better today?"
Zhao Jiu endured the coughing **, and followed behind Princess Danyang step by step. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, at the end of summer, the weather outside was still very hot, but Zhao Jiu was tightly wrapped, revealing only a pale face and two excessively thin hands.
At this time, he had already stayed in a comfortable room, lying on the couch casually, holding a volume of travelogues or a notebook to pass the time.
But now, he has to support his thin body, surround his new wife, and sometimes he even has to serve her with his own hands.
The ninth princess is not uncommon for Zhao Jiu to curry favor, and after recuperating these days, she has completely recovered.
The heart is also alive!
Looking up at the sun, the ninth princess suddenly asked Zhao Jiu in a cold voice, "Father is out?" β
Zhao Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "My father is busy with official business, and he is rarely at home on weekdays. Especially recently, there have been many cases in the yamen, and my father is even more busy with his feet on the ground. He hadn't been home for three days. β
Zhao Jiu seemed to be worried that Princess Danyang had misunderstood, so he hurriedly added: "Although my father went out, he remembered your body very much, and sent someone back to ask about your situation at noon." β
The saint has already blamed Zhao Geng for the crime of 'disrespecting the princess and insulting the royal family', if the Zhao family doesn't want to be completely rejected by the saint, they can only offer Princess Danyang as an ancestor.
Now that even the sickest and weakest Zhao Jiu has come to wait in person, how can she let Princess Danyang misunderstand that Zhao Geng doesn't value her enough?!
However, Danyang didn't care about this, she grasped the key point in Zhao Jiu's words, "There are many cases? Recently, Jinyiwei has another big case?
I haven't heard of it.
Jingzhong is even more calm, and it doesn't look like something big is happening at all.
Jinyiwei is not an ordinary errand soldier, can the case that can make Zhao Geng so busy that he can't even return home to the dignified Jinyiwei command, can it be small? !
Danyang no longer thinks about the memories of her previous life, there are too many things in this life that are different from her previous life, and she has suffered several losses in succession, just because she relies too much on those memories.
Since she was hit by the blood curse, Danyang decided to completely abandon all the things in her previous life after she sobered up, she is not a Qi Gu clan, and she no longer holds a grudge against Gu Jialuo's good luck in this life, she is Danyang, the princess of Great Qi.
Everything will start from scratch for her.
However, some of the messes left behind from the past still need to be cleaned up. The Zhao family's side also needs to operate.
For the past two days, Danyang has been thinking about what he should do next.
'He' is powerful and extremely hidden, Danyang has been in contact with 'him' several times, but he has never even seen 'his' true face, let alone knows 'his' identity.
However, the other party knew her well, especially before she got married, in order to maintain Concubine Liu Xian's life, she had no choice but to make a deal with 'him'.
Although 'he' has not issued instructions to her so far, Danyang believes that 'he' will never let her go.
Hey, this big problem must be solved!
Another one, Concubine Liu Xian died, but she left a lot of problems.
First of all, what is the 'military'?
A few days ago, Danyang wrote a letter to Xiao Daozong in accordance with the memories he absorbed from Concubine Liu Xian, imitating Concubine Liu Xian's tone.
The letter was written very vaguely, vaguely revealing a meaning: three years ago, Concubine Liu Xian felt the danger and accepted a 'successor' in advance, and passed on all the news channels and connections she mastered to the 'successor'. If something happens to her, her 'heirs' will inherit everything she has, including her responsibilities and obligations to the 'military'.
In addition, Danyang also hinted in the letter that Concubine Liu Xian had a large number of middle- and low-level palace maids and eunuchs in her hands, and with the cooperation of these people, if the 'military' wanted to plan in the palace in the future, it would get twice the result with half the effort.
Danyang said that these things were not made out of nothing, and afterwards she carefully looked through Concubine Liu Xian's memories and found that this woman was really not simple.
On weekdays, he is not inconspicuous, and he is recognized as an honest duty, but he has done so many things under the nose of the saint, not to mention the others, just the low-level palace maids and eunuchs attracted by Concubine Liu Xian are not a small number.
These people, in the eyes of the nobles, are just a group of lowly ants, and no one will take them seriously.
But there are times when these little people can play a vital role.
Danyang has a deep understanding of this. Think about the so-called 'blood curse', isn't it the work of an old palace maid enveloped by Concubine Liu Xian.
Zhao Geng's Jinyi Wei has already found out that it was not someone from Concubine Liu Xian's palace who did it to Danyang, but a palace maid from Si Bosi. It's been almost ten years since she entered the palace, and she has always been unknown, if it weren't for Jinyi Wei Shunteng who found her, no one would have imagined that such an honest palace man would dare to murder the princess.
The most embarrassing thing for Zhao Geng was that when Jinyiwei quietly sneaked into the harem and was about to arrest the old palace maid, that person actually committed suicide first.
Jin Yiwei found the birth date of Princess Danyang in the relics of the palace maid, as well as a few strange talismans.
According to the identification of the Mingxin Daoist, these talismans are the talismans used by the Yi people to cast spells.
Because the man was dead, and the only way to live was gone, all the clues were broken. Therefore, how did the old palace maid get these talismans of southern Xinjiang, and why she murdered Princess Danyang, outsiders do not know.
Zhao Geng didn't mention how aggrieved he was, but he could only conclude the case hastily.
Princess Danyang fused the memories of Concubine Liu Xian, and only then did she know that everything was the handiwork of Concubine Liu Xian.
She had long suspected Princess Danyang, but without evidence, Concubine Liu Xian was still ruthless.
But she couldn't really rest assured, so she left a backhand.
Princess Danyang couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately she started quickly, otherwise, Concubine Liu Xian really noticed something, and she was Danyang who died.
Thinking of this, Danyang couldn't help but think of the person who 'helped' her make a decision: Qi Yao's family.
Hmm, Yao Xiruo is the second trouble left before.
Danyang and Yao Xiruo have 'cooperated' several times, and Danyang herself is not sure if Yao Xiruo has evidence against her in her hands.
Yao Xiruo's whereabouts are unknown, and Danyang suspects that she is in the hands of Jinyiwei.
Jinyiwei is a place where even a dead person can pry his mouth open, and Danyang has woken up from nightmares several times.
In the dream, Yao Xiruo confessed all the 'sins' of Danyang, and the sage was furious and ordered Zhao Geng to lock her up and put her in prison.
In the edict prison, there were wails, and all kinds of tortures that only existed in 'legends' were displayed in front of Danyang, which scared her to death.
After waking up from the nightmare, Danyang's heart was still beating wildly, the whole person was wet with sweat, and when the wind blew, a cold feeling went straight to the bottom of his heart.
No, she must know Yao Xiruo's whereabouts, and then completely 'deal with' it.
ββ¦β¦ I, and I don't know much about what happened in my father's yamen. β
Zhao Jiu didn't know Danyang's thoughts, listened to her words, and replied in a snort.
Danyang sank his face and said dissatisfiedly: "You are my father's only son, he has always treated you as a sharp piece of flesh, will you not know about him?" β
Zhao Geng's study is the forbidden place of the Zhao family, even now, when the Zhao family is working hard to curry favor with Princess Danyang, Danyang can't come and go at will.
Zhao Jiu can!
Danyang once inquired in private, and Zhao Jiu often went to Zhao Geng's study to read.
is such an important place, even if Zhao Jiu is really just reading books, he should be able to access some secrets.
A cold light flashed in Zhao Jiu's lowered eyes, the speed was extremely fast, and he covered it up so well that Danyang didn't notice it at all.
"Say, what's the big case?"
Princess Danyang asked angrily, and then as if to show that she was not deliberately probing into the secrets of the imperial court, she added, "Is it related to my case?" β
Zhao Jiuse shrank, as if he was frightened by Danyang's momentum.
After a while, Fang said weakly, "No." IβI heard 'firearms' and 'princess peaks' or something. I don't know about the rest. IβI really don't know! β
The original bloodless face turned red in a hurry, and Zhao Jiu looked weak, 'I didn't lie, don't be angry'.
Danyang disliked her eyes, she really didn't want to see this husband. Straight mother, what a waste!
However, the information provided by Zhao Jiu this time was very useful.
Firearm? Could it be the Qi family's firearms?
Princess Peak?
As soon as he heard the name of this place, Danyang couldn't help but think of the Iron Threshold Nunnery, as well as the extremely tragic past life.
Shaking his head vigorously, shaking away the memories of his previous life, Danyang thought hard.
The temple has been destroyed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is now in ruins.
There was nothing but the bare hills.
Wait a minute...... Danyang thought of something, her heart was pounding hard, yes, it must be there, Qi Yao's must be locked up in Jingxinzhai!
As night fell, lanterns were lit in the Zhao family's mansion.
A dark shadow quietly slipped out of the main courtyard, tiptoeing, along the root of the wall, all the way to the study outside the second gate.
The study was unlit, dark and quiet.
There were two guards guarding the doorway.
As the night grew darker, the two of them also felt sleepy.
One yawned, and the other yawned.
After a short time, the two of them leaned against the pillar, squinted their eyes, and fell asleep.
The dark shadow took the opportunity to reach into the study, and her movements were very light and did not alarm the guards.
Click~ The fire fold sliding, and the faint firelight flickered in the dark study.
After a quarter of an hour, the shadow slipped out quietly again, and ran back to the inner courtyard the same way it came.
What she didn't know was that at the moment when she had just left, the two guards who were originally leaning on the pillar opened their eyes in unison.
"Uncle, do you really have to worry about it?"
One of them asked in a low voice.
A man flashed out of the corner of the black hole, tall and thin, with a sickly face.
He put his right hand into a fist in front of his lips and coughed lightly twice, "Let her go." I want to see what our dignified Princess Danyang wants to do when she visits the master's study at night! β
Firearms and Princess Peak, which word touched her nerves?
The guard approached with a lantern, and under the orange firelight, Zhao Jiu's playful sneer was clearly visible!
β¦β¦
"Father, it's not good, it's not good!"
Xiao Gang hurriedly broke into the study, shouting as he ran.
"What's wrong? How did you teach yourself to be a father on a daily basis? As the saying goes, 'Mount Tai collapses in front and the face does not change', you are good, you shout when you encounter something, where is there still half a point to do big things? β
Xiao Daozong frowned and scolded his son a few times. Then he asked, "What happened?" β
Xiao Gang didn't pay attention to his father's reprimand at all, and gasped, "Father, something is wrong." The 'Inheritor' sent a message saying that Zhao Geng's vicious dog has set his sights on you and is doing his best to track down your whereabouts. β
Xiao Daozong was taken aback, "Is the news reliable?" Okay, why did the surnamed Zhao check me? β
He hasn't done anything, and he can't talk about 'showing his feet' at all. And he usually disguises himself very well, for more than ten years, Xiao Ye has not doubted him, on the contrary, he is ready to promote him to compete with the Four Great Mansions.
Xiao Daozong felt that in some ways, the saint was more willing to believe in him.
No way, who gave him the surname 'Xiao'. Although they are not of the same family as the saints, they also have the same surname. Five hundred years ago, it was a family, and this is not exactly a phrase for almost words, but the same surname inexplicably makes people feel a sense of intimacy.
Xiao Gang nodded vigorously, "When I first heard the news, my son didn't believe it. So I ordered someone to inquire about it. Father, Zhao Geng is really checking the 'military'. β
Xiao Daozong's face changed, "He checked the military but found me?" β
Oops, is his identity going to be revealed?
Xiao Gang swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, "That's right." When Zhao Geng investigated the coma incident of Princess Danyang, he unexpectedly found that there was something wrong with several little eunuchs. After some investigation, it was discovered that they were actually the eyeliner that had been inserted into the palace by someone else. You also know Zhao Geng's temperament, if he discovers such a secret, how can he not go all out to investigate it? Jin Yiwei dispatched a hundred households, and found and found that the little eunuchs were all from the 'military'. β
Xiao Daozong sat down on the chair with a bang, as if the bones of his whole body had been sucked out, and he had no energy or strength at all.
Xiao Gang glanced at him, licked his lips, and continued: "Coincidentally, those little eunuchs have had contact with our housekeeper......
Zhao Geng followed this clue and quickly found out about Xiao Daozong.
This is what Xiao Gang knows.
What he didn't know was that Zhao Geng's initial suspicion of Xiao Daozong was because of the misleading of the Mingxin Daoist.
But these are no longer important, what is important, how to solve the impending crisis.
After being stunned for a long time, Xiao Daozong's eyes finally turned, and he asked dryly: "Is there any progress in the firearms workshop?" β
"Qi Jinzhi went to the workshop yesterday, and my son hasn't contacted that side yet, but there should be progress."
Xiao Gang thought of a possibility, and cautiously tempted, "Father, are you planning?" β
Xiao Daozong smiled miserably, "It's not that I plan to do it, but I have to do it!" Sizheng, now the situation is critical, and we have to send arrows on the string. β
Xiao Gang suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, the 'inheritor' also said that Zhao Geng is still investigating the matter, which is related to firearms, and also mentioned a place name, Princess Peak." Father, you say, is there any article in this? β
Xiao Daozong's eyes flickered, "You talk about it carefully......"
Perhaps, they can take advantage of it. (To be continued.) )
