Yan Cheng is only a few years younger than the King of Ji'an, and he has been working in the palace since the beginning of the construction of the Ji'an Palace. Because he was shrewd and witty, he was better at meeting and shooting horses, and won the favor of the king of Ji'an, and rose all the way from a rough servant in charge of sprinkling and sweeping, and finally became a great butler.

It can be said that everything he has today was given by King Ji'an. The degree of loyalty to the king of Ji'an is naturally beyond doubt.

When he first heard the news of the death of King Ji'an, he was first struck by lightning, and when he reacted, he refused to believe anything. I felt my pulse and listened to my heartbeat and tried to breathe, and found that King Ji'an was indeed out of breath, so I couldn't help but lie on the edge of the couch and cry.

"Enough, stop crying." Zhou Shu saw that he was crying endlessly, and couldn't help but shout.

Yan Cheng cried for a while, and raised his tearful face, "Second Young Master, what the hell is going on?" The prince is so dignified, how could he pass away suddenly? ”

The crying words were full of questions and suspicions.

Zhou Shu's eyebrows sank, "Are you doubting me?" ”

Yan Cheng was stabbed by his sharp gaze and shrunk his shoulders, his eyes flickering, "I mean, the prince has always been in good health, and I met the prince half an hour ago, when the prince was still ruddy, his voice was like a bell, and his spirit was strong.

In the blink of an eye, the person is gone, which is really strange......"

By the end, the sound was low and inaudible.

"Steward Yan is so filial, I don't know, I think you are my father's biological son." Zhou Shu snorted coldly and turned his gaze to Imperial Physician Gao, "Please tell him the cause of his father's death." ”

"The prince died suddenly due to a heart attack." Mrs. Gao's words were concise and to the point.

"Does the prince have a heart disease?" Yan Cheng's face was full of suspicion. "How did I not know?"

Imperial Physician Gao glanced at him coldly, "Are you a doctor?" ”

"I'm not, but ......"

"No, how can you judge that the prince 'doesn't' have a heart disease?" Imperial Physician Gao's tone was arrogant and angry, and Yan Cheng was speechless, and Fang said lightly, "You must know that the prince was hit by an arrow in his heart in his early years, right?"

Although that arrow did not take the life of the prince, it also damaged the heart to some extent. The old man had always been worried that the prince would suffer from heart disease, and once warned him to recuperate with a clear heart and not to work. Do not contaminate too much with meat and spirits.

But the prince took the old man's words as a deaf ear. Recently, I have been in a state of excitement and nervousness for some reason, and I drank a few glasses of strong samper tonight, which caused heart disease.

Originally, there was a chance to rescue, but after the prince became ill, his mood fluctuated greatly. Hematemesis several times. Leads to the destruction of the heart pulse. The old man tried his best to buy him an extra quarter of an hour.

If you can't trust the old man, you can call all the famous doctors in Jinan Prefecture. See if there is any discrepancy between their diagnosis and that of the old man. ”

Zhou Shu followed up and picked up the conversation, "I don't care what you think, but my father has explained me an important matter, and I am in a hurry to do it, and I don't have time to be more filial to you here." ”

With that, he showed the blood jade in his hand.

Yan Cheng is a smart person, after hearing this, and seeing this blood jade again, he immediately understood that King Ji'an entrusted Zhou Shu with the great cause of "supporting the lineage of Kuang and strengthening the royal bloodline".

Although what Doctor Gao said was reasonable, there was always a cloud of doubt lingering in his heart. He was able to sit in the position of the chief butler in the palace, not only because of his clever mind, but more importantly, because he knew the current affairs.

The old master is dead, what can be unpaid by unlocking the cause of death? He had no choice but to be loyal to the new master, and to get to the bottom of it would only make him lose the favor of the new master, so he didn't ask anything.

Immediately, he wiped away his tears and bowed down in a tame attitude~ leaning forward, "Please give instructions to the second young master." ”

Zhou Shu tampered with King Ji'an's last words a little and told him again, "Time is pressing, I want to go to Mount Tai right now." ”

"The little one understands, and the little one will arrange it immediately." Yan Cheng waved his hand and walked out quickly.

He left with his front feet, and the ebony hind feet flashed out from behind the bookshelf.

Zhou Shu glanced at him, "Did you hear what I just said to Steward Yan?" ”

"Yes." Ebony replied.

Zhou Shu stared at his uninteresting face, "Then I won't waste my tongue anymore and explain something to you." I just ask you, will you serve me? ”

"Yes." Ebony knelt on one knee, "Obey the second young master." ”

"That's good." Zhou Shu nodded, "My father doesn't allow me to mourn, and I can't let others know what I want to do in my father's place." You pick two reliable people to stay, help Steward Yan deal with the aftermath, and the rest of the people will escort me to Mount Tai. ”

Ebony answered with another "yes" and got up and walked outside.

When he went out, Zhou Shu put away the coldness on his face and looked at Imperial Doctor Gao apologetically, "Before I came back, I wronged you to stay in my father's study." I asked Monkey Kui to come and accompany you, if you have anything to do, just tell him to run errands.

I've arranged for a few other masters to protect you in secret, so you can rest assured. ”

"The old man is just a doctor, who will be difficult with me?" Imperial Physician Gao smiled disappre一门ly, "Second Young Master just go to your business, don't worry about me." ”

Zhou Shu's eyes flickered, "Don't you want to ask me why I did this, and what did I do when I went to Mount Tai?" ”

"You must have a reason for doing this, you don't tell me presumably to protect me, I just need to know this." Imperial Physician Gao stroked his beard with a smile, "You go, leave it to me here, and I'll see you when you act." ”

"Doctor Gao, thank you." Zhou Shu shook it to the ground.

Yan Cheng was extremely efficient, and quickly prepared the horses and a letter, "Give this letter to Mrs. Hui Ci, and she will know why you are going." ”

Zhou Shu stretched out his hand to take it, feeling that the letter was light and fluttering, presumably only containing a piece of tissue paper. The seal was hastily sealed with wax, and the name of the recipient was not written on the envelope, but a half-closed circle was drawn.

He didn't ask what he had written, and put the letter close to his bosom. Only took a dragon well out of the palace, avoided the main street with many people and carriages and horses, took a shortcut to the south city gate, and after meeting with the people led by ebony, he quickly whipped his horse and galloped all the way to Mount Tai.

Zhou Shu only had an hour to spare, and it took a lot of time to deal with Yan Cheng and Ebony, so he couldn't go back to the back house to explain the situation to Jian Ying in person, so he only asked Huibai to send a message over.

Although this message was unknown, his intuition told Jian Ying that what he was doing when he went to Mount Tai would never be as simple as he said. To say that she is not worried is false, but she does not like to worry about the sky.

Since he said that everything was under control, then she believed that he could control everything.

She believed in Zhou Shu's mind and judgment, as well as Luo Yuzhu's cleverness and ability to improvise.
