Chapter XII
He tiptoed, gently and slowly hugged Lin Chuyue onto his large bed made of golden silk nanmu, and after gently covering her with the quilt, he walked out.
Although it is still unknown whether Lin Chuyue is Tu Ningchun or not, he still left a rare touch of tenderness for her.
When Lin Chuyue woke up, it was already dusk.
Lin Chuyue slowly walked out of the door, her stomach growling. She hadn't eaten for a day or a night. The ruthless prince, even if he used her as a pillow for the night, he didn't give her food, is this the treatment of being a pianist in the prince's mansion?
Seeing that there was a small piece of gravel in front of him, he kicked it out. The gravel was also very strange, and it happened to hit Zhang Anze, who was drinking tea and taking a break in the pavilion in front of him.
There was a "bang", crisp and loud, which was the sound of a hard stone colliding with a harder brain.
"It seems that Miss Lin is not satisfied with the position of the violinist, and she dares to murder Prince Ben with stones!" Zhang Anze's originally casual face instantly became solemn.
yes, just not satisfied. Then let me go!" Lin Chuyue thought secretly, but she didn't dare to say it. Just silently shook her little head.
Zhang Anze took the opportunity to say: "Since you don't have it, then you will be the personal maid of the palace in the future and serve the palace well." ”
...
Lin Chuyue suddenly changed from a pianist to a maid, responsible for serving tea and water to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince every day, pressing paper and grinding ink, and when necessary, she also needed to play a song to help His Royal Highness the Prince's poetry.
It was late at night, and when Lin Chuyue was cooking tea for His Royal Highness the Prince, she watched the fire under the fan maintain an even state. This high-ranking prince must only drink Sanqing tea, and slowly boil a stick of incense on an even low fire for a long time, so that he will drink such tea. Suddenly, she noticed a dark shadow passing by outside the window, and she quickly realized that something was wrong, this person was a thief, if not an assassin!
Lin Chuyue carefully observed the trail that carefully followed the black shadow, but found that the target of the black shadow turned out to be the prince! She walked quickly to the prince's dormitory, shouting as she walked, "Catch the assassin, catch the assassin!"
The surrounding attendants quickly surrounded the prince's dormitory, "Protect His Royal Highness the Prince." One of the leading guards shouted.
By the time they arrived, the Assassins had already fled through the west window of the North Garden.
Fortunately, Tongfu has been waiting by the prince's side, as we all know, Tongfu is a bit of kung fu, comparable to the inner guards, the average little thief is not his opponent at all, and it is not a problem to fight five by himself.
However, when Tongfu was fighting the assassin this time, he cut his arm, and the blood flowed, and the ground was covered in ground. It can be seen that this time is not an idle person, as if he has undergone professional training, or maybe it has been premeditated.
"Someone, quickly bring Tongfu down to bandage the wound and stop the bleeding. Zhang Anze instructed, "If it weren't for Tongfu being stabbed for this palace, I don't know what the consequences would be." With that, he fell into deep thought.
Lin Chuyue silently looked at the traces of the fight in front of her, and found the birthday wax she had seen in the Taifu Mansion before in a corner of the wall. This candle is unique to the Taifu Mansion, who has suffered from headaches and dizziness since childhood. The smell of the birthday candle, which is made of a special material, must be relieved when it is burned.
At that time, the banquet in Taifu's mansion was held during the day, but the mansion was still lit with white candles, which aroused Lin Chuyue's suspicions. She then asked the little handyman who was doing miscellaneous work in the Taifu Mansion, and he told her about it.
After listening to the little handyman, she became even more curious about this magical birthday wax. What is it that relieves headaches? Will it cure her mother's head disease for many years? So she stole a small section while no one was paying attention, intending to take it back to Haosheng to study the components of this candle.
For so many years, Lin Chuyue has been looking for famous doctors for her mother's head disease, but those so-called famous doctors are helpless. She continued to consult medical books and study hard, just so that one day she could help her mother get rid of the pain of this disease.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally let her find this birthday wax that has a miraculous effect on the treatment of head diseases. This time, the pain of my mother's head disease can be relieved!
When she got home, she broke down the wax and found an ingredient in it that was different from other ordinary candles. Through consulting a large number of medical books, the public learned that Qiang Zhi is a hallucinatory medicine that makes people fall into drunkenness and hallucinate. If you take it for a long time, it will be addictive, and although it can make people forget the pain for a short time, as long as you stop taking the drug, the pain will come back. And put the magic medicine into the candle is more effective, no wonder the guests at the banquet that day behaved so fiercely, it turned out that it was not only because of their own piano skills, but also because of this Qiang Zhi secretly manipulating everyone's emotions.
Presumably, this person must have come from the Taifu Mansion, but in this heavily guarded East Palace, it is absolutely impossible to quietly and skillfully escape the pursuit of a large group of guards and escape smoothly. Not to mention that this guard is heavily guarded, with this twenty-foot-high iron wall, even a peerless master of light industry will never be able to fly out. Therefore, the Assassin must have taken advantage of the chaos to still mingle with the many guards who had just entered the door, in order to hide his eyes and ears.
After reasoning, Lin Chuyue said to Zhang Anze, who was frowning: "His Royal Highness the Prince, look, what is this?"
It's birthday wax! How could Zhang Anze not know about this thing. This is a special candle unique to his mentor Zhao Ye's Taifu Mansion, every time he goes to Taifu's Mansion, he can see this kind of candle with a peculiar fragrance.
This time it turned out to be someone from Taifu's Mansion! How could it be? That Taifu was his mentor since childhood, and he had saved him from being pushed into the water when he was young, and he was still his life-saving benefactor. At that time, when the Taifu rescued him, his mother happened to meet him, and then he was about to go to the guards for help, but was unexpectedly stabbed to death by an assassin in black. After Taifu rescued him, who was only the second prince at the time, he was anxious to catch the black-clothed assassin, but he was unexpectedly injured by his hidden weapon, and he still fell ill and dizzy all day. Thinking of that time, on the one hand, I was grateful to Taifu for saving his life, and on the other hand, I felt that I was too young at that time to protect my mother. Moreover, if it weren't for the fact that Taifu was only the second prince and was a concubine, how could he defeat the eldest prince so smoothly and become the current crown prince, half of the credit for this prince's position was stabilized by Taifu's help.
"How did you get this thing?" Zhang Anze asked coldly.
"This was found by the slave maid in the corner of the wall following the marks of the fight. Lin Chuyue replied calmly.
"Even if you find this thing, it won't mean anything, unless you have a way to find out the assassin just now, and this palace will not believe what you say next. Zhang Anze stared at the half-cut birth wax in Lin Chuyue's hand, although he said that he believed Taifu, but in fact, he had already doubted it in his heart, but he was just unwilling to face the truth.
