The twenty-third time, Rong Zhao is the king's person!
Zi Ji was not angry after listening to King Pingnan's fake words, but only smiled faintly and said: "What the prince said is also reasonable, the prince is a royal family and has no contact with the people on the rivers and lakes. Then Zi Ji, as a person from the rivers and lakes, is naturally inconvenient to take care of the affairs of the prince's mansion. Today, tens of thousands of dollars and goods are cleared, so there is nothing to say between us. My son-in-law is drunk, and we are going to serve him to rest in the back, and he is out of company. After saying that, Zi Ji turned around and helped Rong Zhao to go back.
"Wait!" King Pingnan scolded this dead girl with hatred from his heart, but he said: "It's not that this king doesn't want to help you, it's really that your family feud has passed for so many years, and no one knows if there were other accidents after killing your family's enemies, maybe he would have died a long time ago." And what you said about poisoning King Rui...... Maybe someone else is the same thing as your enemy. ”
Zi Ji sneered: "These are just the guesses of the prince alone. Now I don't care who destroyed my family in the first place, anyway, whoever is holding my family's poison spectrum in his hand now is my enemy. If the prince can find my family's poison spectrum and the person who holds the poison spectrum, I will detoxify Zhao Hai, otherwise, there is no need to talk about it. The prince can go to the palace to ask for the holy decree, but Zi Ji and the people in the rivers and lakes are not bound by the imperial court, and the emperor is afraid that he can't do anything to me. ”
"The emperor can't do anything to you, but what about Rong Zhao?" King Pingnan asked coldly.
"Rong Zhao is the king's man." Zhao Mu didn't wait for Zi Ji to speak, and then said loudly, "If the uncle can't get along with Rong Zhao, he can't get along with this king." If the uncle wants to fight with this king, then just let the horse come. In addition, Miss Zi Ji is also the king's savior, and when she is in trouble, the king will naturally not sit idly by, making the world laugh at the king for being ungrateful. ”
Rong Zhao, who was leaning on Mei Ruo's shoulder and was half drunk and half awake, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhao Mu, feeling that this guy was really good-looking, especially at this moment, looking at that cold and arrogant little eyes, he was really hungry for himself...... Uh, too much! Calm. Rong Zhao raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth that was about to slip out.
"Thank you for your protection." Zi Ji hurriedly gave Zhao Mu a deep blessing.
"Zhao Mu! You...... Do you want to compete with this king openly? Zhao Lie pointed at Zhao Mu angrily.
"It's a competition, I can't say. Bright or dark, it doesn't make sense for the smart man of Uncle Wang to pick and choose. This king just does what he wants to do with his own heart and protects the people he wants to protect. That's all! Zhao Mu said lightly, "If the uncle has to involve this matter to something else, this king will have no choice but to admit it." ”
"You!" Zhao Lie pointed at Zhao Mu, gritted his teeth and couldn't speak.
Zhao Mu looked back at Zhao Lie coldly and didn't say more, but his expression was very clear-I'm not afraid of you!
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was tense and breathless, Gu Chen looked left and right, and suddenly shouted with a smile: "Oops, the tea is cold!" Come on, change the tea. ”
Zhao Lie, the king of Pingnan, suddenly calmed down, thinking that his son was still lying on the bed and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, three days had passed in ten days, and he had no clue about the antidote, what kind of anger did he have fighting with Zhao Mu here? So he let out a long sigh and turned to Zi Ji: "Miss Tang, if your request is agreed by this king, when will you be able to prepare the antidote?" ”
"Although the poison invades the body at the same time, it cannot be solved at the same time, and it takes seven days to detoxify a poison a day." Zi Ji said.
When Zhao Lie heard this, he immediately agreed: "Okay! Without further ado, this king will immediately start to investigate the case of your family being wiped out, and you will go back to the house with this king to dispense the antidote. ”
Zi Ji smiled: "Lord Wang, the instruments and utensils for preparing the antidote are very complicated, and it will take half a month just to move and place them, are you sure you want me to move them to your palace?" ”
"Do you have a ready-made antidote for this king?" King Pingnan asked again.
"There are antidotes, but they are all original herbs and cannot be taken directly. Moreover, the time of torment also needs to be strictly controlled, and the prince must use medicine under my personal supervision to deal with emergencies at any time. ”
"Oh, in this case, the only way to send Zhao Shizi to the Rui Wang's Mansion for healing?" Gu Chen interjected at the right time.
"No way!" King Pingnan refused without thinking about it, who knows what will happen to his son when he enters the Rui Wang's Mansion? Now there is at least a glimmer of hope, and in the hands of Zhao Mu, I am afraid there is only one dead end.
"Is the uncle afraid that this king will be unfavorable to Zhao Hai? In fact, if this king wants Zhao Hai to die, it is enough to send Zi Ji out of the capital for seven days. Why bother to take this trouble to your own house? Zhao Mu sneered.
King Pingnan was right to think about it, at this time, only a dead horse would be a live horse doctor. Besides, if his son has any mistakes in the Rui Wangfu, then he can pull a cushion even if he dies.
Zi Ji hooked the corners of her lips and sneered: "Then it's decided." Within seven days, if the prince can find my enemies and bring them to justice, I will guarantee that Zhao Hai will live. If not, then don't even think about getting the last antidote to the poison. ”
"I have to send someone to the Rui King's Mansion to serve personally." Zhao Lie said.
"It's okay, you can send two people. As long as you bring your own food. Zhao Mu chuckled.
"Then it's settled." Zhao Lie gritted his teeth and said.
"Don't, there is no evidence, and the words are proof." Zi Ji chuckled and said, "Taking advantage of the fact that there are so many people to testify at this time, Zi Ji wants to make a note with the prince." ”
"Will this king still rely on your little girl's account?!" Zhao Lie said angrily.
"No, I'm afraid that the prince will beat me up and say that I am in debt." Zi Ji chuckled.
Zhao Lie snorted coldly: "Hmph! Sophism! ”
"Let's make a note. The king is willing to be an intermediary. Zhao Mu said.
When Gu Chen heard this, he immediately ordered the maid next to him: "Go and get a pen and paper." ”
The maid said yes and turned to go down, and after a while, she came in with a pen and paper.
"Who's going to write it?" Gu Chen asked.
"There is Lao Gu Gongzi." Zi Ji blessed Gu Chen, "The slave family said, I bother you to write for you." ”
"No problem." Gu Chen lifted the pen and licked the ink, and waited for Zi Ji to write while talking about him, and for a while, the pen walked around the dragon, and the silver hook and iron were drawn, and Gu Gongzi's beautiful hand finally earned a face for the master's family.
Zhao Lie thought that Zi Ji and Gu Chen would play word tricks, and when Gu Chen finished writing, he took the contract in his hand and looked at it for a long time and didn't see anything wrong, and Zi Ji had already signed the other one, and asked Zhao Mu to use the seal in the guarantor's place. So he took a pen and wrote his name and used a seal.
"Huo Yun." Zhao Mu watched Zi Ji and Zhao Lie exchange contracts with each other, and turned his head and instructed Huo Yun: "Immediately call someone back to tell Mama Song, clean up the Liuyun Residence in the West Cross Courtyard, and welcome the prince of Pingnan to live in." ”
Zhao Lie was naturally more anxious, and when he left in a hurry to go home, he went home to make arrangements.
It is a helpless thing to send his son to Rui Wangfu to detoxify, and Zhao Lie also has to find an initiative in this helplessness, so he went back and found Lan Xiang and Wan Qiaoyao, and said: "The poison you made can't be solved, and it's really a joke." Now that the king has negotiated with the orphan girl of the Tang Gate, and sent the prince to the Rui Wangfu for detoxification, the two of you pretend to be maids to serve in the past, and by the way, closely supervise the girl of the Tang Gate for the king, and take care of the son of the king. ”
Wan Qiyao was very interested in Zi Ji's antidote and her utensils and instruments for breaking down dialysis toxins, and when she heard that she had this opportunity to get close to these things, she was naturally very happy, so she nodded and agreed. Lan Xiang hesitated: "Back to the prince, that Rong Zhao has seen the slave family, if the slave family lives in with the maids of the palace, I am afraid it will arouse his suspicion." ”
"If the maid is not suitable, she will live in as a concubine. You were originally a woman in a green house, and it is also your dignity to be accepted by my son. Zhao Lie refused to let go of Lanxiang.
Lan Xiang had no choice but to respond: "Yes, the slave family will go and clean up, and then live in the Rui Wang's Mansion with the prince later." ”
"Go ahead." King Pingnan waved his hand with a cold face, and silently thought about how to find two substitute ghosts to explain to Zi Ji - if she couldn't find her enemy, no one would be able to solve the last poison in her son's body.
*
But it was said that Zhao Mu and Rong Zhao said goodbye from the Gu family and returned home, Mei Ruo and Zi Ji helped Rong Zhao into the carriage, Rong Zhao was so drunk that his legs became weak as soon as he entered the carriage, and he almost fell into Zhao Mu's arms accidentally.
"Is this really drunk?" Zhao Mu asked strangely. When he just dealt with King Pingnan, he thought that this guy was pretending to be drunk.
Mei Ruo carefully helped Rong Zhao to lean on a big pillow, and sighed: "The prince and Gu Gongzi will come to the front to meet King Pingnan first, and at the banquet, Miss Xiao will bring a big bowl to toast, and the two of them drank three bowls against each other. ”
"Yun Xin?" Zhao Muhu asked suspiciously, "Why did she ask your son-in-law to drink three bowls?" What do they say when they drink? ”
Mei Ruo said funny: "It's because you don't say anything that it makes people feel strange!" Miss Xiao came forward with a big bowl of wine, and only said Rong Gongzi, I salute you with a bowl, and our son-in-law asked someone to change the big bowl without saying a word, and then the two of them touched three bowls in a row, and each of them did it! The prince didn't see Miss Xiao living directly in the Gu family! Our son-in-law is drunk like this, she has already vomited all kinds of meat and vegetables. ”
As soon as Zhao Mu heard this, he dispelled the idea of cleaning up Xiao Yunxin, and only hummed helplessly: "If you can't drink it, you have to be strong, I really don't know what this stubborn temper is trying to do." ”
There was nothing to say all the way, and after returning to the mansion, Zhao Mu personally watched Mei Ruo and Zi Ji help Rong Zhao into the bedroom, and asked someone to boil a bowl of thick sobering soup for Rong Zhao to drink, and only after seeing him sleep did he go back to Xiuyuan Hall.
After Mama Song served the change of clothes and washed, she brought a bowl of warm shredded chicken porridge. Zhao Mu didn't have much appetite, so he only ate half a bowl and put it down.
"Lord, does the prince of Pingnan really want to live in the palace?" Mama Song asked hesitantly.
Zhao Mu nodded slightly, and said: "Well, Liuyunju will pack it up and let him live, and send more people to guard the periphery, and I must not let the people of Pingnan Wangfu move around my mansion at will." ”
"This prince can rest assured, Liuyun lives in the plum forest, and those plum blossoms themselves are planted according to the Five Elements Bagua Array, if the people who live in it don't understand the formation, it will be difficult to get out of that plum forest. It's just that...... The slave is worried that if Zhao Hai has something in our mansion, won't we have to tear our faces with the Pingnan Palace? Mama Song asked worriedly.
"Hmph, this layer of skin has been torn in the Gu family today." Zhao Mu sneered.
Mama Song shook her head helplessly and said, "Since this is the case, the slave will arrange it carefully." ”
While speaking, Huo Yun came in and replied, "Lord Wang, the people from the Pingnan Royal Mansion have arrived. ”
Mama Song sighed: "This is really fast! ”
Zhao Mu sneered and hooked the corners of his lips, and said lightly: "Zhao Hai still has seven days to live, can he not be happy?" King Pingnan will arrange two tight-fitting maids for Zhao Hai, you have to take a closer look at who these two are. ”
Mama Song agreed to go down to arrange Zhao Hai's living, and Zhao Mu read a book in the house for a while and went to bed early.
*
Early the next morning, after Rong Zhao woke up, he only felt that his head was swollen and numb, and he sighed long: "It's really a mistake to drink!" ”
Mei Ruo heard the movement and hurriedly came in to serve, because she said, "Yesterday, the son shouldn't have drunk those three bowls with Miss Xiao." ”
"A girl's house came to toast, why am I embarrassed not to drink? Not only do you have to drink, but you can't drink less. Rong Zhao said, got up and got out of bed, and asked while dressing: "Yesterday, I remembered what I talked about with King Pingnan?" It seems that Zhao Hai was promised to live in the Rui Wangfu, right? ”
"Yo, do you still remember? It can be seen that there was no drunken unconscious yesterday. Mei Ruo said, and added angrily: "Does Childe know who the maid Zhao Hai is serving with him is?" ”
"Who?" Rong Zhao didn't bother to guess, at this time, his brain was still starved of oxygen, and he could barely move.
"Lanxiang!" After Mei Ruo finished speaking, she saw that Rong Zhao didn't react for a while, and added: "It's that big Oiran in Lan Kwai Fong!" ”
"Ahh It's her! Rong Zhao suddenly understood, "I'll just say that she must be from the Pingnan Palace!" ”
"However, the other maid seems to be more noble than her, and Lan Xiang listens to that person everywhere."
"What's that guy's name?" Rong Zhao asked again.
"Lan Xiang called that person, Sister Yao." Mei Ruo flattened her mouth and snorted, "In these days, any cat and dog has a name, and she is called casually when she hears this name." ”
"I thought that the origin of this orchid was not simple, and now it seems that this is the case." Rong Zhao sneered slightly, and asked again, "Where do they live?" ”
Speaking of this, Mei Ruo smiled: "Mama Song arranged for them to live in Liuyunju, and it will take at least half an hour to walk over from us." ”
"So far?" Rong Zhao was surprised.
"It's better to stay away, these people are not good things at first glance, they are too close to us, and we can't sleep well at night."
Rong Zhao nodded and said with a smile: "What I said is that I didn't see Zi Ji early in the morning, it seems that I was busy detoxifying Zhao Hai?" ”
"There's no way, those people moved in last night, and when they came in, they didn't say anything, just looking for Zi Ji. Zi Ji went to see Zhao Hai, and she finally got them an antidote last night, and she had already sent it over at this time. ”
"Okay, then I don't have to worry about it, let's pack up and have breakfast or go to the country to study." Rong Zhao said with a smile.
"Today, the prince of the country is in charge of Mu Xiu, and the son has forgotten." Mei Ruo smiled.
"Gee, what a mistake to drink." Rong Zhao raised his hand and knocked on the door of his head, and suddenly smiled again: "By the way, I haven't been shopping on the street for a long time, let's go shopping after breakfast." ”
"Okay, the weather is getting warmer day by day, there are a lot of fun and delicious foods in the capital, and the slave maid has always wanted to go shopping and has no time." Mei Ruo said happily.
"Gotcha! I'll let you shop today! Rong Zhao said with a smile.
*
Since his son entered the Rui Wang's Mansion, Zhao Lie, the king of Pingnan, has not been stable for a moment. Even taking a nap and dreaming is like a tragic death of his son, and life is worse than death. On the third day of her birth, Lan Xiang sent back a message, saying that Zi Ji was urging her to ask about her enemy, and asked how the prince was doing.
In the small hall in the front yard of Pingnan Palace, there were only two people, Lan Xiang and Zhao Lie. Zhao Lie was going back and forth in the room, and Lan Xiang, who had finished reporting the situation, stood aside with a slight frown.
"Tell me about it! It was your Dongling faction that destroyed the Bashu Tang Gate back then! In order to keep this secret, this king killed a few guards around him, how do you let this king tell that girl?! Zhao Lie glared at Lan Xiang and said hatefully.
"Thank you Lord for keeping the secret of my Dongling Sect, and the Lord's kindness and spirit master and slave family are all in mind." Lan Xiang was slightly blessed by Zhao Lie.
"Thanks? Thank you for a fart! News came out of the palace this morning, saying that Concubine Xian was sick! Concubine Xian has always been careful to maintain, and she has never even coughed on weekdays, but now that the weather is still good in March, why did she get sick for no reason? Ping Nanang frowned.
"This ...... It's hard to say about the slave family. Lan Xiang thought to herself that Concubine Xian's illness was indeed strange, and she had to ask her senior sister to contact the eyeliner in the palace to ask what was going on.
"The people in the Tai Hospital sent news that Concubine Xian's condition was exactly the same as that of King Rui a few years ago. Tell me, why is it so coincidental? Zhao Lie sneered.
"Huh?!" Lan Xiang was taken aback, and hurriedly looked up at Zhao Lie and said, "This thing is definitely not done by the slave family - it is not the senior sister who did it!" The slave family can guarantee it. ”
"This king naturally knows that you didn't do it." King Pingnan sneered, "Concubine Xian's illness and Zhao Hai's poison should be the same person who shot at the same time. His purpose is twofold, one is to force you to show up, and the other is to drive a wedge between the king and the king of Su. ”
"It's insidious! This kind of trick doesn't seem to be done by Tang Ziji, an orphan girl in the rivers and lakes. Lan Xiang frowned.
"Of course, she didn't do it. Her hand wasn't long enough to reach for Concubine Xian. Zhao Lie said coldly.
Lan Xiang asked thoughtfully, "Is that Rong Zhao?" His sister is in the palace, and it is very convenient to attack Concubine Xian. ”
"Rong Zhao ......" King Pingnan held these two words on the tip of his tongue and repeated them several times, and finally shook his head and said: "This king still doesn't believe that a kid like him who has no hair can set up such a game. Besides, although Concubine Yue has been favored, her foundation in the palace is still shallow, and I am afraid that she does not have the ability to attack Concubine Xian. ”
"That's what the prince said. So what do we do? Concubine Xian is still very important to us, if she really dies, most of our power in the palace will be lost. Lan Xiang said worriedly.
"What can I do? Now this king can't even keep his own son. King Pingnan snorted coldly.
As soon as Lan Xiang heard this, she immediately lowered her head.
"At the end of the day, you're useless! I bragged to this king before, saying that there is no poison in the world that you can't refine, and there is nothing you can't solve. What is it like now? It's a slap in the mouth! When Zhao Lie said this, the anger in his heart didn't know how many times he had hit his head, and he couldn't wait to kill the slut in front of him who was noisy in his ears all day long.
"Don't worry, my senior sister has already written a letter to our spirit master, our spirit master is about to return from the East China Sea Immortal Mountain, as long as her old man arrives in the capital, there must be a way." Lan Xiang said.
"Will your Spirit Lord be able to arrive in three days or five? The king's son is dying! Zhao Lie gritted his teeth and said.
"Don't worry, as long as the seven poisons are resolved, the last poison will not be fatal, at least the prince can last for a month or two." Lan Xiang persuaded.
"I hope so!" Zhao Lie said this, but in his heart he had another plan.
*
On the third day when Zhao Hai moved into the Rui Wangfu to detoxify, the king of Pingnan came to the Rui Wangfu to visit his son.
Huo Yun went to Xiuyuan Hall to return to Zhao Mu, and Zhao Mu had to come to the front in person to accompany Zhao Lie to Liuyunju to see Zhao Hai.
It just so happened that Zi Ji had just given Zhao Hai the third antidote, and Zhao Hai was so stinky and sweaty that he couldn't get into the house, and even Zhao Lie, his father, couldn't stay there, so he only stood inside for a while before coming out.
In the yard, the plum trees are green and the breeze is cool. Zhao Mu sat on the stone bench under the tree and sipped a cup of spring tea seriously.
Zhao Lie sat down opposite Zhao Mu, Zhao Mu pointed to another cup of tea on the stone table, and said with a smile: "Uncle, please use tea, this is the Ming Dynasty Longjing that was sent to the capital quickly." ”
How could Zhao Lie have the heart to drink tea? only frowned and asked: "When you were poisoned by this poison, did you suffer so much about detoxification?" ”
"Uncle Wang only needs to look at the body of this king now. Last year, this king was still fighting in the western frontier with his uncle and father, but after a year, where can you still ride a horse and carry a knife to the battlefield when you see this king's weak appearance? The reason why the Nine Chains of Strange Poison has dominated the drug world for so many years has not been broken, is naturally different from ordinary poisons. It's not that I'm saying frustrating words, this time, it's a blessing that Zhao Hai's life can be saved! Zhao Mu glanced at Zhao Hai coldly, but he actually hated this person in his heart, and he couldn't wait to immediately take a sword and stab him in the heart a hundred times.
"It's really hateful!" Zhao Lie gritted his teeth and said.
"Yes! It's disgusting! If this king finds out who poisoned this king in the first place, he must be put to death! Zhao Mu said lightly.
"That's right! It is not an exaggeration to divide the corpses of five horses. Zhao Lie agreed.
"I don't know how the uncle promised Zi Ji how it happened?" Zhao Mu asked again.
Zhao Lie coughed twice, lowered his voice and said, "There are eyebrows." ”
"Oh?" Zhao Mu raised his eyebrows and sighed softly: "He is worthy of being an uncle, with a deep foundation and hands and eyes." This king has been missing something for so long and has no clue, and the uncle has an eyebrow in the past few days. ”
"Hey! What is the hand-eye to the sky? It's just a coincidence. ”
"No matter what, as long as you can find Zi Ji's enemy, then the king's enemy can also be found. Speaking of which, this king also wants to thank his uncle. Zhao Mu said, raising the teacup in his hand, "When that day comes, this king will definitely hold a feast and ask Uncle Xie to help with this." ”
"Thank you, you don't have to." Zhao Lie waved his hand and sneered: "This king is just for his son to survive." ”
Zhao Mu smiled faintly and didn't ask any more.
*
In the evening, Zhao Mu knew that Rong Zhao had come back from Guozijian, so he counted the time and walked to the courtyard to find him.
After Rong Zhao came back, he changed his clothes, and as soon as he asked Lan Yun to put on a banquet and tea table under the eaves, he saw Zhao Mu wearing a light blue dress and walked in with a leisurely face, and said with a smile: "The prince seems to be in a good mood, has he picked up the money, or has he encountered something good?" ”
Zhao Mu climbed the stairs, walked to Rong Zhao and sat down, and said with a smile: "I didn't pick up any money, and I didn't encounter any good things." It's just that seeing someone uncomfortable, this king feels very comfortable. ”
"Tsk! What kind of mentality are you! Rong Zhao shook his head, picked up his newly acquired purple clay pot and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Mu.
Zhao Mu pinched the teacup and smelled the fragrance of tea, and asked again: "Zhao Hai, what are you going to do?" ”
"I don't have any plans. Zhao Lie sent Zi Ji's enemy to the door, and Zi Ji relieved Zhao Hai of the poison in his body and spared his life; If Zhao Lie's scheming words don't count, and the last poison is incomprehensible, Zhao Hai will definitely die if he lives for another half a month at most. This is fair trade and reasonable. Rong Zhao chuckled.
"Zhao Lie has been here today." Zhao Mu said, taking a sip of tea gently.
"Oh?" Rong Zhao immediately became interested, "Looking at his son's appearance, how does the prince who has always been invincible feel?" ”
"It doesn't matter what emotions he has. The important thing is that he said that Zihime's enemy has eyebrows. Zhao Mu chuckled.
"Got eyebrows?" Rong Zhao blinked his eyes and thought about it, and said with a smile: "It's so quick to say that you have eyebrows!" There is no second explanation other than that they are a gang of people. ”
"Yes, I thought so too." Zhao Mu nodded.
"You say, is this a delaying tactic? Or do you want to abandon your car and protect your car? Rong Zhao asked with a smile.
When Zhao Mu heard this, his eyes immediately deepened when he looked at Rong Zhao.
"I guess he'll give up the car." Rong Zhao didn't wait for Zhao Mu to answer his question, but continued to talk to himself, "Lan Xiang and that Ah Yao...... Who will be the pawn chosen by King Pingnan? Orchid ...... Obviously not enough. Then it must be that Ah Yao. ”
"So, what are you going to do?" Zhao Mu asked.
------Off topic------
You, you, you, all of you are from this palace!
At the end of the month, your monthly passes are also from the main palace!
T
