Zhao Mu listened to Rong Zhao's nagging, and his heart gradually sank.

Yes, what a person who likes to be lively, on a snowy day, he can take his concubine out in a carriage and carriage to play, and let a guy who runs around all day to eat and drink stay by his side for more than half a month, he must have been annoyed for a long time. Thinking of this, Zhao Mu was disheartened for a while, so he slowly closed his eyes, feeling that life and death seemed to have no meaning, and the ambitions of the past were also left behind.

"Childe." Mei Ruo came in with a cup of tea, glanced at Zhao Mu on the bed, and whispered: "The maids and children in this courtyard have been locked up by Zi Ji, and Lord Xiao has not sent another person, so the slaves and maids have made an assertion and assigned Lan Yun and a few of them, and the manpower is quite complete." ”

"Well, no one can trust it all these days! Lord Xiao's house is not clean. It's still our people who are the most reliable. ”

"Childe has a sip of tea." Mei Ruo handed the teacup to Rong Zhao, and asked with concern, "How is the prince?" ”

Rong Zhao turned around and saw that Zhao Mu closed his eyes as if he was asleep, and stepped forward to touch his forehead, cut his pulse, knowing that the poison in his body had been suppressed, and he didn't take a sip of tea, and only told Mei Ruo, who had just come in, to take care of it, so he hurriedly went to dispense the antidote.

And as soon as he left, Zhao Mu opened his eyes and looked at the top of the tent.

Mei Ruo turned around and saw that Zhao Mu had woken up, so she hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Lord Wang, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Mu glanced at Mei Ruo and shook his head gently.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Mei Ruo asked again.

Zhao Mu looked at Mei Ruo slightly sideways and didn't speak for a long time.

"Lord Wang?" Mei Ruo couldn't figure out what this Rui Wang Ye wanted, and hesitated for a moment whether he should call Rong Zhao.

When Mei Ruo hesitated for a long time and was about to turn around to call Rong Zhao, Zhao Mu suddenly said, "It's okay." ”

Mei Ruo was relieved at this time, and asked again: "Is the prince tired from lying down all the time?" Why don't you sit up a little bit with that cushion? ”

"Okay." Zhao Mu nodded lightly.

Mei Ruo hurriedly took a pillow from the bed, pulled Zhao Mu up and put the pillow behind him, seeing that he was still not very comfortable, so he hugged a quilt and filled it behind him, looking at him half-sitting and half-lying leaning there, and couldn't help but persuade: "Don't be discouraged, my son-in-law will definitely be able to solve the poison in your body." ”

As soon as he heard the mention of Rong Zhao, Zhao Mu had two points of spirit, because he asked, "You have so much confidence in your son-in-law?" ”

"yes." Mei Ruo smiled softly and brought half a cup of boiled water to feed Zhao Mu.

"Why?" Zhao Mu asked curiously.

"Because he is the son of a slave." Mei Ruo didn't want to say more, so she only chuckled and persuaded, "Lord Wang, drinking more boiled water is good for your body." ”

"You've got a pretty tight mouth." Zhao Mu smiled dissatisfiedly and began to take a sip of water.

Mei Ruo smiled secretly and did not argue, in her opinion, the current King Rui is the backer of her son-in-law, this backer cannot fall, and he must take good care of it, but it is just a backer, cured his poison, he is grateful enough, there is no need to know too much. What's more, Rong Zhao has too many secrets, King Rui is so smart, if Shun Teng finds out something, wouldn't it be a big trouble?

Zhao Mu had the heart to ask Mei Ruo about Rong Zhao here, but this girl's mouth was too strict and she refused to say anything, and it didn't take long for Zhao Mu's spirit to wear off, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Rong Zhao went to concentrate on preparing the antidote, and Zi Ji was bent on finding out the person who was poisoned, and immediately fed all the maids and children who were originally listening to Xuezhai on an errand, and interrogated them one by one, and finally watched the death of a maid and two children, but still did not interrogate any clues, and was very impatient for a while, so he asked Lan Yun to feed half of the antidote to the rest of the people and lock them in the empty room behind.

"Bang" The sound of pushing the door, with a gust of cold wind blowing in, Rong Zhao didn't have to look back to know that it was Zi Ji who came in, while carefully pouring the medicinal juice from the Xiaoding furnace into a white porcelain pumpkin-shaped jar, and said helplessly: "Can't you be quieter?" ”

"Childe, I can't ask anything." Zi Ji stood beside Rong Zhao depressedly.

"Those are just the lowest-ranking subordinates of the Xiao Mansion, and it's normal that nothing can be interrogated." Rong Zhao took the small jar to his nose and sniffed the smell of the medicinal juice, frowned and muttered, "This smell is really bad." ”

"Childe!" Zi Ji couldn't care about Zhao Mu's antidote at this time, and was bent on finding out the person who poisoned her, so she interrupted Rong Zhao's self-talk with an anxious scream.

Rong Zhao finally raised his head to look at Zi Ji with an anxious face, and chuckled, "What are you anxious about?" Someone is more anxious than you. Let's go eat something first, I haven't even drunk hot water in the middle of the night, right? There is eight-treasure porridge stewed on the small road over there, go eat a little first, and then come. ”

"The hatred of parents is greater than the sky, how can people have the heart to eat at this time!" Zi Ji pouted.

"You go get something to eat first, I promise there will be news in less than half an hour." Rong Zhao saw that Zi Ji was still standing there sullenly, and sighed again: "Now we are living in Xiao Mansion, and some things are not good to overstep." But you have to believe that Xiao Zhengshi wants to find out the poisoner more than you at this time. King Rui is all the hope of their Xiao family, understand? After speaking, Rong Zhao raised his hand and knocked on Zi Ji's forehead.

Zi Ji subconsciously shrunk her shoulders and said in a muffled voice: "Well, in fact, these slaves and maids also understand, but they ......"

"Just what? It's just useless! Go eat first, and come over to help when you're done. Rong Zhao waved his hand impatiently.

"Yes." Zi Ji answered and turned to the small stove to open the lid on the crockpot, and the sweet fragrance of eight-treasure porridge spread with the heat, diluting the anxiety and impatience in her heart a little.

What Rong Zhao said was really right, Zi Ji had not finished eating a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, Xiao Heng came in a hurry, and when he entered the door, he ignored Zi Ji who stood up, and walked directly towards Rong Zhao.

"Young Master Rong." Xiao Heng clenched his fists and shouted.

Rong Zhao put the small bottle in his hand back on the table, raised his head and blinked his misty eyes, before asking, "Is there anything important that Grand Master Xiao came to me in the middle of the night this morning?" ”

"My father has something important, please ask Mr. Rong to come over." Xiao Heng said.

"Okay." Rong Zhao stood up and stretched, turned his head to Zi Ji and said, "Let's go, you can also go and listen to what is important to Lord Xiao." ”

"Yes." Zi Ji hurriedly took Rong Zhao's cloak and put it on him, swept away the previous grievances, and followed Rong Zhao and Xiao Heng out energetically.

Xiao Heng took Rong Zhao and Ziji out of Tingxuezhai and did not go to the front yard, but went to another exquisite courtyard in the back garden of Xiao Mansion.

Before walking to the gate of the courtyard, Rong Zhao looked up and saw the words "Youfeng Laiyi" inscribed on the plaque, and pretended to be surprised: "This should be the courtyard where Miss Xiao lives, right?" Rong is a foreign man, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter at the time of the third watch in the middle of the night. ”

"Rong Gongzi is really smart, just look at the plaque and know where my sister lives. But don't worry, my sister will stay elsewhere tonight, and my father will be waiting for his son for a long time. Please. ”

"Xiao Gongzi, please." Rong Zhao is also a dignified one when he holds the shelf of the prince.

Entering this small courtyard that is more elegant than Tingxue Zhai, and passing through the aisle of the phoenix tail forest, Rong Zhao and his party entered the three hugging buildings in the north.

Inside, the lights are bright. Xiao Zhengshi was sitting on the chair with a back facing the door, with the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion standing on one side, and several housekeepers on both sides. And kneeling on the ground in the middle was also a woman in her thirties and forties.

After Rong Zhao entered the door, he first glanced at the mother-in-law who was kneeling on the ground, and bowed to Xiao Zhengshi.

"Rong Shizi is here, please take a seat." Xiao Zhengshi pointed to the chair on the other side of the square table and said politely.

For people outside, Rong Zhao is a student who worships under Xiao Zhengshi's door, and he is the one who wants to enter the country to study, so no matter what happens behind the scenes, the names of the two of them are still there. Therefore, Rong Zhao bowed down and said, "Thank you, my lord, Rong Zhao doesn't dare." ”

Xiao Zhengshi squinted his eyes, thinking that this kid was really on an equal footing with him, so he ordered the housekeeper next to him: "Give Rong Shizi a seat." ”

The housekeeper hurriedly turned around and moved a drum stool to put in his hand, Rong Zhao thanked him again before he stepped forward and sat down, and asked, "My lord called Rong Zhao to come late at night, but what is the important matter?" ”

"This woman is Yun Xin's nurse, and after verification, the porridge that Yun Xin gave to King Rui today was cooked by her hands. After several tortures, she also confessed, the prince said before, the person who was found to be poisoned must be handed over to you for interrogation, now please interrogate it overnight, after the trial, the old man will hand over this cheap slave to the criminal department for punishment. ”

When Rong Zhao heard this, he immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Zhengshi, and said loudly, "Thank you, my lord." ”

"No thanks, it's not early, the old man is exhausted after staying up for most of the night, so let's go to the back to rest first. Let Xiao Heng and them stay with you on trial. Xiao Zhengshi said, pressing the table and slowly getting up.

Xiao Heng hurriedly stepped forward to help, Xiao Zhengshi waved his hand and said, "For my father, I don't need you to serve, you just need to assist Rong Shizi to interrogate the matter of this cheap slave clearly." ”

When Xiao Zheng was sent away, Rong Zhao didn't have to hold it anymore. Immediately, he was not in a hurry to ask the nurse, but only asked the housekeeper to read the nurse's confession.

Xiao Heng said beside him: "According to common sense, those who can be nurses in the Xiao Mansion are all domestic slaves, but when my sister was born, there was no one in the family who could be a nurse, and the third sister was born prematurely, so my grandmother asked someone to find this woman who had just given birth to a child less than 100 days from outside. At that time, it was a sister-in-law in the clan who introduced this slut into the house, and now that woman has returned to Huangquan, this slut only said that the woman from my Xiao family is just a general friend, and this matter has passed more than ten years, and now there is no evidence to inquire about it. In addition, the son of this slut is now named Qingya on an errand in the Rui Wangfu, and Rong Shizi must have met a few times, and at this time, his father has already sent someone to take him into custody. This slut confessed that she killed King Rui because she was coerced by the Zhou family, saying that her man offended the second housekeeper of the Pingnan Palace's mansion on an errand in the prison of the Criminal Department last year, and it was Zhou Chengzhen who saved his life by maneuvering from it, and the detailed confession is written. However, whether these things are true or false will need to be further verified by the Criminal Department. ”

Rong Zhao listened to Xiao Heng's nagging, and at the same time roughly flipped through the confession. Finally, he sighed, "Good." Lord Xiao is really hard tonight, and after judging so many useful things, it seems that the officials of the Criminal Department will have something to do tomorrow. ”

"Shizi sees, there is anything else that needs to be added." Xiao Heng said, glanced at Zi Ji, and said, "I heard that Miss Zi Ji's parents were killed because of the family heirloom poison spectrum, and I hope that from this line, I can help the girl find out the enemy of the year." ”

Zi Ji was anxious, but she was still stable, just looking at Rong Zhao and waiting for Rong Zhao to speak.

Rong Zhao folded the confession and returned it to Xiao Heng, turned his head to look at the woman kneeling on the ground, and saw that her hair was messy and there were blood marks on the corners of her mouth, so he knew that she had been tortured. So he smiled faintly and asked, "In the confession just now, it was said that the Zhou family used your husband's affairs to blackmail you and asked you to poison King Rui." Then let me ask you, who in the Zhou family gave this poison to you and your son? Why is there no in the confession. ”

"I don't know who the person who brought the poison was, I only know that someone sent the best lotus seeds, and one of them was a circle of lotus seeds in a cloth bag for King Rui to eat. And the things that my son gave to King Rui were also sent by me in the name of our girl, because of the relationship between Xiao Mansion and King Rui, so basically no one has inspected the things sent here, and they will be tasted by King Rui......"

Rong Zhao turned his head to look at Xiao Heng when he heard this, Xiao Heng hurriedly said: "The father of the merchant who sent ingredients to the kitchen has already asked someone to check, and the businessman who has been sending lotus seeds, barley and other dry goods to the house went back to his hometown for the New Year a few years ago, and the one who delivered the goods the day before yesterday had never been there before, because this slut disliked the lotus seeds that were always prepared in the kitchen to remove the core, so she had to find a good one in the kitchen. ”

"What about this merchant who delivers lotus seeds to the kitchen?" Rong Zhao asked again.

"The firm, the surname, it's all fake. Our people went to check and found nothing. Xiao Heng said in frustration.

Rong Zhao didn't have the heart to listen to the details here, he knew that what these people wanted to do must have already worked out the details. This Xiao Mansion is not an ordinary family, if there is no master of coordination among these people, it will not be so easy to succeed.

"It's not hard." Rong Zhao smiled faintly, got up and walked to the nurse Liao, slowly bent down, and said, "How long have you not seen your son?" Do you want him? ”

Liao's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The prince spares his life, my son doesn't know anything, every time he gives the prince something to eat, I ask someone to send it, he really doesn't know anything!" ”

"Well, you're a good mother." Rong Zhao nodded slowly and said approvingly.

"Please believe me, my son really doesn't know anything! Please spare his life! Liao pleaded.

Rong Zhao sneered: "Even if he doesn't know anything, he has done things that he shouldn't do." What is the crime of murdering the emperor's heir, I think you should know very well, right? ”

The Liao family bowed her head and was silent, plotting to kill the emperor's heir and other complicity in rebellion, this is a big crime of the Jiu clan, she naturally knows.

Rong Zhao smiled: "I'm really strange, you people know everything and understand everything, but you still do such a thing. Is it useful to beg for mercy after being found out? ”

Liao's eyes were suddenly full of despair, and the whole person collapsed on the ground and wept silently.

Rong Zhao stared at her for a long time, and said, "I know that you still have something to confess, you think about it again, and I will give you a quarter of an hour." If you can confess something that will work for me, I can guarantee to spare your son's life. ”

Liao Shi suddenly looked up at Rong Zhao, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. However, that surprise flickered like a dark night fashion, and then it was bleak again.

"You don't believe it?" Rong Zhao glanced back at Xiao Heng and chuckled, "Just because I solved the poison on King Rui's body, isn't it simple to save your son's life?" ”

When Liao heard this, the light of hope rekindled in his eyes.

Rong Zhao slowly stood up and instructed the people next to him, "Go and bring her son over." ”

Xiao Heng immediately instructed the housekeeper: "Bring people!" ”

The housekeeper went out in person, and after a while, he really brought Qingya in. Qingya saw Liao's family, and suddenly broke free from the person who restrained him and shouted, "Mother!" He jumped up and hugged Liao, gently wiped a blood stain on Liao's face with his fingers, and couldn't help crying.

"Crying this sentence?" Rong Zhao chuckled and glanced at Zi Ji.

Zi Ji had long hated itchy, and when Rong Zhao looked at him, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Qingya's collar to pull the person away from Liao's body, and threw a pill into his mouth with a flick of his fingers, and then quickly lifted his chin, and the pill was swallowed into his stomach with a thud.

Rong Zhao watched the pill being fed, then lazily turned back to the chair and sat down, sighing, "Don't say why this son uses such a method every time. In fact, whatever he does, what works is a good way, right? ”

"You, what did you eat for my son?!" Liao asked in horror.

"Don't worry, it's not a deadly poison, and you can't die for a while." Rong Zhao said with a smile.

Before the breath in Liao's heart could be relaxed, Rong Zhao added: "This is the formula I got a while ago, and I tried to prepare the pills myself, and the minions who interrogated Biwu Study in the Jizhou Palace that day used a few, and the effect was not bad, and in less than a quarter of an hour, some people couldn't stand the taste and wanted to die headlong, look at your son's small body...... Tsk, I wonder if I can last a quarter of an hour? ”

"You ......" Liao was about to say something, when he heard his son fall to the ground with a muffled snort, his hands covering his abdomen, his face pale, and a layer of fine sweat oozing from his forehead. For a while, Liao's heart was like a knife, and he hurriedly said: "I say I will say I will say!" I'll say everything! I beg you to spare my son. ”

Zi Ji said in a cold voice: "If you want to say it, just say it quickly, after half an hour, the medicinal power will be dispersed, even if you take the antidote, I am afraid that you will have to leave a little sequelae." ”

"In addition to what I just said, I only know that the little son of the Zhou family often has close contact with the prince of Xiangnan, and once again I happened to go home, and I heard the mouth of our family say that the little son of the Zhou family, Zhou Yueting, owed a large amount of gambling debts outside that Zhao Mo, the prince of Xiangnan, paid back, in order to repay this kindness, the little prince of Zhou was with Zhao Mo...... Broken, broken. Liao said in a panic, his words were out of words, his words were out of order, and it sounded like a mess that couldn't be compared to the poisoning of King Rui.

Xiao Heng immediately became anxious and scolded angrily: "Damn it! What are you doing with all this nonsense? Who gave you that poison, and does your man have any other dealings with the Zhou family except for the matter in the prison! Who delivered the news to you on weekdays, and in addition to poisoning King Rui, what other hurtful things have you done? Don't say it yet! ”

"No, no, no...... The minions did this one bad thing, and really didn't do anything else! I beg the eldest prince to let us go, and I beg the prince to let us go! Liao hurriedly kowtowed and begged.

Rong Zhao raised his hand to stop Xiao Heng, who was about to scold again, and asked Liao patiently: "You said that Zhou Yueting, the little son of the Zhou family, broke his sleeves with Zhao Mo, the prince of Xiangnan?" One of the two of them is the queen's maiden family, and the other is the backing of the virtuous concubine, how can these two juniors get together? These two adults don't care? ”

"Oops! What kind of mess is this? Rong Shizi, what are you asking for! Xiao Heng stomped his feet dissatisfied.

Rong Zhao just waved his hand at Xiao Heng, leaned over to look at Liao, and waited patiently for her answer.

Liao hesitated for a moment before saying: "What is the specific reason for the old slave is not clear, that is, I heard my man say that the little son of the Zhou family is beautiful, and the prince of Xiangnan likes beautiful young men, the two of them met in the Qinglou, and later they were common in the gambling house, and it is common for those sons and daughters of rich families to get together to eat and drink and play money, and eighteen thousand taels of silver are nothing to the Xiangnan Palace. If you can't get the money, you can only be at the mercy of the prince of Xiangnan......"

"So, Zhou Yueting is Zhao Mo's prostitute?" Rong Zhao asked with a smile.

"It's not to say, although the Zhou family is lonely, but the old shelf is still there, and the prince of Xiangnan is not good at bullying the little son of the Zhou family too much, I heard that the two of them are mixing oil in honey behind their backs, okay." After the Liao family finished the gossip, he glanced at his son worriedly, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Lord Shizi, you see that the slave knows only a little bit, you can do it, let my son go." As long as you let my son go, you are willing to let the old slave die no matter how you want. ”

"You just said that these are all from your man?"

"Yes, the old slave stays in the house all day to serve the girl, and rarely goes out on weekdays, so I have to go home at night after the New Year, and listen to my nagging a few gossip." Liao replied.

Rong Zhao immediately instructed the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion: "Go and bring her man." ”

The housekeeper of the Xiao family bowed and said helplessly: "Lord Shizi, his man met a robber on the way home the day before yesterday, and he was beaten into a coma in bed, and he died when he woke up early yesterday morning. ”

"Dead?!" Rong Zhao glanced at Xiao Heng in surprise, frowned and asked, "How can this New Year's celebration be so coincidental?" ”

"This matter is very strange, my father has already sent a message to ask someone to investigate." Xiao Heng said.

Rong Zhao smiled faintly and glanced at Zi Ji.

Shihime nodded lightly to show that she had understood what he meant.

"Lord Shizi, please give my son an antidote!" Liao said, walked two steps to Rong Zhao, hugged his boots and begged, "The old slave said everything!" I know, I heard, I said it! Please...... Let my son live! I only have this one son......"

Xiao Heng didn't wait for Rong Zhao to speak, so he stepped forward and kicked Liao over, pointed at her and scolded: "Yes, you only have one son, Concubine De Niangniang?" Concubine De Niangniang only has one son, King Rui! Have you thought about it? Did you see that? What sins did King Wise suffer, and what sufferings did he suffer? Your son has only been in pain for a while, and you can't stand it? ”

"Mother...... Help me! Rescue ...... I ......" Qingya was already rolling on the ground with her stomach in pain at this time, sweat and tears blurred, wet face, wet hair, wet clothes.

Rong Zhao sighed softly, got up and said to Zi Ji: "Let's go, if you toss it like this, there will be nothing useful, and your efforts will be in vain." Let him die if he deserves it, and let him continue to suffer if he deserves it. ”

"Lord Shizi! Shi Ziye ...... "Liao hurriedly rushed forward and knelt in front of Rong Zhao, originally she wanted to hug Rong Zhao's calf, but was kicked away by Zi Ji.

However, Liao Shi couldn't care about the pain on his body, and quickly crawled back to block Rong Zhao's way, crying: "Lord Shizi, I beg you, I beg you...... I know that the place where Zhou Xiaogongzi and Zhao Mo have a private date is Lan Gui Lou, I know that Lan Xiang, the top girl in Lan Gui Lou, was raised by King Su, but Zhao Hai, the prince of Pingnan, also likes her, and Lan Xiang is going around between Zhao Hai and King Su, Zhao Mo and Zhou Xiaogongzi went to Lan Gui Lou to be ** is actually a private date, I heard my man once said that Zhou Xiaogongzi loves and hates Zhao Mo, and Zhao Mo is just a dog of Zhao Hai, what is the relationship between them, the old slave can't say clearly. But the old slave thought that it was not as simple as a prostitution and a private meeting for these people to go to Lan Gui Lou, if the prince wanted to know the truth, he only had to secretly send someone to Lan Gui Lou to visit, and many of the slaves really didn't know...... I beg the prince to let go of the slave's son, the slave only wants to die here immediately to forgive his sins, I only ask you to spare my son......" Liao said, kowtowing again and again, knocking blood marks on his forehead and still not realizing it.

Rong Zhao looked down at Liao Shi without saying a word, and waited until she kowtowed and lost her strength, and she couldn't even cry, Fang said to Zi Ji: "Give it to her." ”

Zi Ji answered, took out a small bottle from the purse on her waist, poured out a pill and handed it over: "Give, antidote." ”

Liao Shi was overjoyed to take the medicine, hurriedly crawled back, and happily stuffed the medicine into his son's mouth while calling his son's name.

Rong Zhao glanced at the mother and son who were hugging a group over there, and turned around and left silently.

Xiao Heng saw Rong Zhao go out, so he asked: "Rong Shizi, if you don't have anything to ask, I will ask someone to send their mother and son to the Criminal Department." ”

"Qingya keeps it for me, I'm still useful for this person." Before Rong Zhao's words fell, the person had already left the house.

Behind him was Liao's repeated thanksgiving voices, but Rong Zhao didn't hear it, and walked slowly in the yard after going out, listening to the rustling of bamboo leaves in the wind, looking up at the sky with fish belly white, and sighed leisurely.

Zi Ji has known Rong Zhao for five or six years, and she has never seen him so lonely, so she was a little uncomfortable for a while, so she persuaded: "Childe, it's almost dawn, let's go back and sleep for a while." ”

"Zi Ji, mothers all over the world love their children and do not hesitate to die for their children. Right? You see, threatening a mother with her son's life is a good way to do it again and again! This is the case with Xiuju in the palace, and the same is true with the Liao family tonight. ”

Zi Ji suddenly understood the reason for Rong Zhao's loneliness, and hurriedly persuaded: "Childe, there are some things that cannot be measured by a standard. Don't think about it. ”

"Shihime, do you remember your mother?" Rong Zhao obviously didn't listen to Zi Ji's persuasion, and immersed himself in loneliness.

"I was just over eight years old when my family was wiped out. In fact, I also have a younger brother, and my mother loved him very much at that time, and told me all day long that my brother was the pillar of the family, and I must take care of him. It's a pity that my younger brother died in his mother's arms before he was five years old......" Speaking of this, Zi Ji smiled bitterly and sighed, letting the cold air penetrate deep into her lungs to calm the anger in her chest before continuing: "Over the years, I have been thinking about how to find the enemy, how to take revenge, and I can't remember many things in my childhood, but my mother's eyes full of joy when she looked at her younger brother have never been forgotten. ”

"Are you Jianghu people also so patriarchal? I thought that without the constraints of official ranks, people would live more freely. Rong Zhao laughed mockingly.

Zi Ji shook her head and said: "What the son said is that the people of the rivers and lakes should be free and uninhibited without the shackles of official ranks, but our family used to be the famous Bashu Tang Sect in the rivers and lakes, and the secret art of drug making is the foundation of life. ”

"What's wrong with my daughter? Is there anything in this world that a man can do but a woman can't? Maybe your father and mother went to Huangquan and never imagined that one day the burden of reviving your Bashu Tang Sect would fall on your daughter, right? Rong Zhao sighed.

"It was Zi Ji who was lucky to meet Childe. If it weren't for Gongzi's action back then, Zi Ji would have turned into a handful of loess now. Zi Ji said, respectfully bowing to Rong Zhaoshen.

Rong Zhao remembered the little girl who was forced into the corner by a group of villains in Suzhou City at that time, and couldn't help but smile happily: "I saved you, not because you were in danger and forced to be pitiful, but because I felt that this little girl who dared to put a poisonous snake into the crotch of a rogue prostitute was brave and knowledgeable, and she was a rare talent." ”

Thinking of the past, Zi Ji couldn't help but laugh: "That scoundrel prostituted other girls alone and didn't give money, and took a group of people to harm others." Prostitutes are mean, but they are also struggling to find a way out, and these men either take care of what is in their crotch or give money. Why eat dry and wipe clean and pull out your legs and leave? ”

Rong Zhao stretched out his hand and patted Zi Ji's shoulder, and sighed, "So, I admired you a lot at that time." At least with me, there is no such good way. ”

Zi Ji lowered her head shyly and said, "Actually, the slave was too impulsive at that time, and she only wanted to teach those scum a lesson for a while, but she forgot that they were outnumbered. Fortunately, Gongzi was in Suzhou at that time. Childe's great kindness, Zi Ji will never forget. ”

"Don't say that, we're just sympathy." Rong Zhao looked up at the morning light that was gradually brightening up in the east again, and said, "Did you understand what the Liao family said just now?" ”

"Yes, listening to what she said, it seems that the Pingnan Wangfu has almost controlled the Zhou family. And although the mother and son of the Liao family who poisoned King Rui confessed that they were coerced by the Zhou family, it should be King Su who really shot at King Rui. Speaking of business, the smile in Zi Ji's eyes disappeared and said in a deep voice.

"You're right. But these grievances are of little use to us, this is the matter of the Xiao family and King Rui. What is useful to us is that Lan Gui Lou, the most convenient place for the people of the rivers and lakes and the court to meet is the Fengyue Field like the Qinglou brothel, and now the strange poison made by your family appears in the battle between the royal families, so I conclude that the person who destroyed your family and took away the poison spectrum is related to the powerful people in the court, even if it is not directly related, now this person is also making deals with these powerful people, so if we want to find your enemy, we have to start from this Lan Gui Lou. ”

"What Gongzi said makes sense, from now on, the slave maid will personally go to stare at this Lan Gui Lou."

"Don't startle the snake. Now they have found out that King Rui's poison has been cured, otherwise they would not have taken the risk of letting the Liao family give King Rui the seventh layer of poison, and they specifically picked my sister to enter Beijing when I was not in Xiao Mansion, I guess I have already guessed that I am related to the poison of the Nine Chains, for the sake of insurance, you need to be more secretive in doing things. ”

"That's what Childe said. These people are too cunning, and they are in the shadows and we are in the light, even if they are not good at what to do, but it is extremely easy to avoid us. Zi Ji replied.

"Yes, so there's no urgency."

"Zi Ji understands."

At this time, a glow in the east had already illuminated the sky, and the people in charge of cleaning had already begun to move, Rong Zhao yawned and said, "Let's go, I don't know how King Rui is now." ”

Zhao Mu's body didn't allow him to do anything at all, he could only sleep all night and still didn't wake up at dawn, and he was still woken up by Rong Zhao.

Opening his misty sleepy eyes, Zhao Mu saw Rong Zhao smiling with crooked eyebrows, and thought he was in a dream for a while.

"Woke up?" Rong Zhao asked while grabbing Zhao Mu's wrist to check his pulse, and asked, "How did you sleep?" Why don't you look sober like this? Isn't it sleepwalking? ”

Zhao Mu grinned helplessly, tried to squeeze out a smile, and said, "Wake up, I don't have sleepwalking." ”

Rong Zhao smiled when he heard this, reached out and opened Zhao Mu's eyelids to look at it, and then pinched his mouth to see his tongue.

After being fiddled around, Zhao Mu smiled bitterly: "Are you detoxifying or seeing a doctor?" ”

"Is there a difference?" Rong Zhao asked with a smile.

"Isn't looking at the tongue coating what healers are used to doing? How will you. Zhao Mu smiled.

"I see that the prince is in good spirits today, and he still has the heart to tell me jokes, so it can be seen that he slept well last night." After Rong Zhao finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhao Mu to say anything, and directly instructed Mei Ruo: "Go and tell Sù Ziji to bring the medicine over." ”

Zhao Mu couldn't laugh as soon as he heard this, every time he detoxified before, he was tossed upside down, it was worse than death, he didn't expect to experience it again so soon.

Rong Zhao looked at Zhao Mu's pale face with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the antidote this time is not so tormenting, you won't be too uncomfortable." ”

"It doesn't matter, I'm used to it anyway." Zhao Mu said stiffly.

"It's useless for you to be hard with me, if you have the ability, you just need to be careful next time you eat." Rong Zhao said, yawning and leaning sideways on the other side of the bed.

Zhao Mu lowered his eyes and saw that the person leaning at his feet had closed his eyes, and felt that he was really useless for a while, obviously he was already well, but he was harmed again...... Thinking of the bowl of lotus seed soup brought by Xiao Yunxin, Zhao Mu felt that even Xiao Yunxin was hateful.

Zi Ji came in with half a bowl of medicinal juice and saw that Rong Zhao had fallen asleep at the foot of the bed, so she shook her head helplessly and stepped forward lightly, and Mei Ruo and Mei Ruo helped Rui Wang up and fed the medicine the other, and poured half a bowl of medicinal soup into Zhao Mu after dividing it by two.

Mei Ruo wanted to wake up Rong Zhao and go back to the room to sleep, Zi Ji shook her head gently, she knew that Rong Zhao didn't have time to sleep when she went back to the room, because King Rui's body was already weak to the limit and couldn't withstand the toss of heavy medicine, so Rong Zhao broke down the antidote this time and gave it to him five times, prolonging the time for detoxification and reducing Zhao Mu's sore spots, but it was more difficult to prepare the antidote. If he is woken up at this time and goes back to his room, it is estimated that he will have to study the antidote, and it will be impossible to sleep at all.

"Cover him with that quilt." Zhao Mu said weakly.

Mei Ruo hurriedly responded: "Thank you for your concern, the slave will go and get it." ”

Zhao Mu lowered his eyes and looked at Rong Zhao, who was already asleep, and felt that this guy looked quite cute when he was asleep, huh...... Very well-behaved, unlike when you are awake, you talk with prickliness.

Mei Ruo really took a green brocade quilt and gently covered Rong Zhao's body, bent down and took off the boots on his feet, picked up his two legs hanging under the bed, and gently put them on the bed to wrap them in the quilt.

Zhao Mu wanted to get out of the way a little, but he didn't have any strength on his body, and the power of the medicine began to attack, and he couldn't even lift his eyelids at this time, so he simply closed his eyes. However, he was only tired, but he was not sleepy at all, after closing his eyes, Rong Zhao's face became clearer, and every expression of laughter and scolding flashed in front of his eyes, and the last overlap became the silhouette of him when he checked his pulse on Chinese New Year's Eve.
