Chapter 140: Broken
Leng Yixiu's gaze turned out of the window, his eyes were slightly constricted, hazy and distant, his voice was also faint, without a trace of waves, and there was no joy after the goal was achieved, "Fourth brother, third brother doesn't have anything to do with you, I just don't want you and my brother to become fish in other people's nets, and the danger is approaching without knowing it." ”
A few words and a few salutations of his hand, as if a pair of hands gently plucked the deepest string in the heart of the four princes, rang out loud and shook every corner of his body.
There was a faint tide in the eyes of the fourth prince, and he gave a deep sigh and said, "Thank you, third brother." ”
The fourth imperial concubine also got up, her eyes were slightly red, and she said softly: "Third brother and third sister-in-law, thank you." ”
The fourth prince saluted Rong Xi again, and said in a sad voice: "The third sister-in-law went to the east alone to the east reins, and the younger brother didn't know it, which must be extremely dangerous, if the third sister-in-law made a mistake, it was really the sin of the younger brother." ”
Rong Xi turned sideways to avoid his salute, "No matter how dangerous it is, it has passed, but fortunately, the matter has been successfully resolved, the prince and you are safe and sound, and it has also given the conspirators a headache for a while, so it is not in vain." ”
"Who is it?" The eyes of the fourth prince suddenly burned, and he pursed his lips tightly, like a sharp knife.
"Who believes that the fourth brother has his own decision in his heart," Leng Yixiu sighed lightly, "I guess you just don't want to believe it." ”
The fourth prince was slightly stunned, thought about it again, shook his head slightly and said, "But ...... What is this for? His body ......"
"His body has never been a problem," Rong Xi smiled coldly, "Now it's time for the two of you to meet one person." ”
"Who?" As the fourth prince spoke, he suddenly remembered the carriage that followed Leng Yixiu and Rong Xi into the mansion, could it be ......
Rong Xi walked outside the door, slapped his high-five, and Leng Fifteen walked over with a person, who was wearing a robe, with a thin figure, and a face that was almost out of shape, his eyes were surprisingly large, and his cheekbones were bulging high, making him look more and more terrifying.
The fourth prince looked at this person carefully, feeling a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it, frowned slightly, and stared silently.
The man walked into the house, knelt down on the ground, and bowed, "See His Royal Highness King Ning, the princess, the four princes, and the four princesses." ”
He came out one by one, obviously familiar, the face of the fourth prince was a little more solemn, Leng Yixiu turned his head to look at the fourth prince and said, "Fourth brother, do you recognize this person?" ”
The fourth prince looked at it carefully, and there was some familiarity between his eyebrows, but he still couldn't think of it, so he could only shake his head gently, and Leng Yixiu smiled coldly and said, "This person's name is Zhang Jin." ”
Zhang Jin...... Zhang Jin ......" The fourth prince felt that this name was also very familiar, he thought carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said: "Isn't it ......?"
"Yes, exactly." Leng Yixiu knew from his expression that he had thought of the answer, "There are some things he understands better than us, so let's listen to what he says." ”
Zhang Jin straightened up, lowered his eyelids, his voice was low and hollow, and those shocking things in the past suddenly spread out in front of his eyes, like a summons, and everyone's memories followed his voice back to that time.
"At that time, Dacree was not a colt, his identity was special, and the slave only knew that he was from Miaojiang, and the specific identity was not very clear, but only by virtue of the identity of Miaojiang, the meeting between the eldest prince and him was always sneaky, one day, the slave received the order, and took Dacree, who had changed his clothes, to find His Royal Highness King Ning and ...... on the street A young man, the eldest prince said that the young man was the seventh princess took a fancy to, and Dacrete had good things on him that could make the seventh princess get what she wanted. ”
The fourth imperial concubine couldn't help but feel a beat when she heard this, although this matter was not allowed to be spread outside and was relatively secret, but she was also a member of the royal family, and she naturally heard the inside story more clearly than others, of course she understood what Dacreel was at the beginning.
"But who knows......" Zhang Jin's face showed a look of pain, his shoulders trembled slightly, presumably remembering the previous incident again, "Presumably the masters already know that the slave is cheap and deserves to end up like this." ”
The fourth prince grasped the key to it, stared at him tightly and said, "What the lord is more concerned about is, how did the eldest prince get on the line with Daklie?" ”
Zhang Jin was stunned for a moment, as if thinking about something, and said for a moment: "The specific slave is not very drunk, but I remember that once I went to the restaurant, the eldest prince recruited the cook in the kitchen, saying that there was something important to give him, and that thing was placed in the meal as a seasoning to make the meal have a special aroma. ”
He paused for a moment, and then continued: "There is a little cook in the kitchen who is a fellow villager of the slave, and once I met him, and I overheard him say that the things that the prince gave to the chef are treasured, and they can't be bought with money, and they are not local things at all. ”
Leng Yixiu and the four princes' eyebrows jumped together, Rong Xi took a sip of tea, she knew better than Leng Yixiu in her heart, she knew it in her heart when Zhang Jin mentioned this matter, after all, she came from modern times, and she knew more about the preparation of some food than these ancients.
"The slave thought, maybe it was at that time that the eldest prince and Dacrley got on the line." Zhang Jin's voice was low and gentle, like a book that had been on the bookshelf for a long time, covered with a thick dust, and suddenly turned up, making people feel choked in their chests.
"Then ......" Leng Yixiu took over, his voice was very long, but it was as cold as the sound of ice bursting in the watery summer night, "What about King Qi?" ”
Zhang Jin's body shook slightly, his head was buried lower, he leaned down again, and a muffled voice came from below: "The little one has been in contact with Dacree a few times on the order of the great prince, and once he went to eat flower wine, he ...... I drank too much, and I mentioned in the drunkenness, your prince in the capital is really strange, the men of Miaojiang have to work hard to be healthy when they are sick, and some princes are obviously not sick, but they have to take a lot of medicine to eat sick, the medical skills of the Central Plains are not good, where is it like Miaojiang's, just a simple blind can achieve the effect......"
His words, the people present heard it in their hearts, Leng Yixiu and Rong Xi had long known what King Qi was covering, so they were not surprised, while the four princes and the four princesses were unbelievable, the four princes' faces were gloomy and changeable, his hand holding the chair was tightened, tightened and loosened, for a long time, the voice rolled down from between his teeth, and said word by word: "This is the ...... Seriously? ”
Zhang Jin raised his head and smiled bitterly, and his skinny and revealing face pulled out a weird smile under the light, "The slave is the one who has died once, thanks to the king's rescue, it's just ...... This body is also crippled, just lingering, there is really no need to lie. ”
The eyes of the fourth prince were dancing with unknown firelight, and the green tendons on the temples on both sides were also bulging, and he could vaguely see the sudden jumping, and his eyes looked out the window at the dark night, where several stars were forced to dim by him.
"Third brother," the fourth prince slowly turned his head to look at Leng Yixiu, a floating smile appeared on his face, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of thick anger, "The matter of Dongjiang, is it also related to him?" ”
Leng Yixiu looked at Rong Xi, Rong Xi and his eyes collided, and then nodded and said: "Yes, he has been operating in Dongjiang for many years, and he is careful in everything, although there are letters, but there has never been his own handwriting and imprint. ”
Rong Xi said, the corners of her mouth hooked up a hint of ridicule, she looked at the time, "I think, now he already knows that something happened in Dongjiang." ”
"How did the third sister-in-law know?" The fourth prince asked anxiously.
"Naturally, the flying pigeon biography he received was sent by me," Rong Xi swept the hair in his ear, "From the moment I started the return journey, a qiē was arranged, and you watch, if he doesn't go to the court tomorrow, it proves that what I said is right." ”
The expression on the face of the fourth prince was uncertain, and the look in his eyes was also unpredictable, "I want to ...... second brother at the beginning"
Leng Yixiu closed his eyes slightly, "Brother Wei also has this suspicion, at that time he said that the second brother committed suicide, but ......" He smiled slightly, the lines on his lips were a little sluggish, "You should know, the second brother's temperament...... How could he kill himself? He did not have that kind of determination and courage, not to mention, he had already experienced at that time, he was indeed poisoned and died. ”
"Snake venom, to be exact." Rong Xi added, "And it's not an ordinary snake venom. ”
The fourth prince shook slightly, the fourth princess stretched out her hand to support him, her eyes were slightly red and sighed, the fourth prince let out a sigh and raised his head slightly, "It's like this......"
Leng Yixiu stood up, walked to his side gently, patted him on the shoulder, there was pain in his eyes, and the eyes made the heart of the fourth prince hurt, he slowly raised his hand, shook Leng Yixiu's hand, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Third brother......"
Coming out of the palace of the four princes, the night was already very thick, surrounded by frogs and cicadas, adding a bit of noise to the silent night, with the warmth of summer in the wind, gently pounced up, Rong Xi rode on the horse, gently raised her head, she pulled out the hairpin at the back of her head, and her black hair like water floated out, gently swinging in the wind.
Leng Yixiu's lips were smiling, the fragrance of the black hair seemed to pick the tip of his nose, he kicked his legs, his body jumped up lightly, Rong Xi felt that his back sank, and he had fallen behind him.
Rong Xi didn't speak, Leng Yixiu was even happier in his heart, he didn't whip it, but just let the horse walk towards the palace on his own.
The wind was gentle, the moonlight was faint, and under the tip of his nose was the unique fragrance of Rong Xi's body, Leng Yixiu suddenly felt satisfied, he gently put his chin on her shoulder socket, closed his eyes slightly, and unconsciously whispered in his mouth: "Rong Xi...... I really want to go on like this......"
Rong Xi didn't speak, just enjoyed the peace at the moment.
The horse stopped in front of the palace, Leng Yixiu jumped off the horse, and was about to reach out to catch Rongxi, when he heard a clear and familiar female voice behind him: "Yixiu." ”
