【Top Secret】
Gongsun arrived at the gate of the palace and was about to enter the palace with a bang, but saw Zhao Pu and the fourth son coming out in the distance. **
Zhao Pu sat on the horse, as if he was thinking about it in a daze, the black owl himself walked unhurriedly, and in front of Zhao Pu sat the little fourth son, holding a piece of honey-colored pastry in his hand, eating it.
Gongsun stood at the door and watched.
The little fourth son took a bite of the cake, raised his face to look at Zhao Pu, and saw that Zhao Pu was still in a daze, so he pulled off a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
Zhao Pu took a few bites, and Xiao Sizi continued to look up at him.
Gongsun hugged his arms and was a little surprised, he had been standing here for a long time, and the little fourth son didn't take it to look forward, besides, why were the little fourth son so close to Zhao Pu? It stands to reason that a type like Zhao Pu is the little fourth's least favorite, he looks fierce and tall, why does he look so closely with Zhao Pu?
Finally arrived at the door, and when the little fourth son turned around, he saw his grandson and shouted, "Daddy!" ”
This "Dad" shouted so sweet that it was as sweet as the honey cake in his mouth, so sweet that Gongsun forgot all his troubles.
Zhao Pu was originally preoccupied, but when he saw Gongsun, his laughing mind came up, and he urged the horse to come closer, "Yo, Gongsun, come and pick me up?" ”
Gongsun gave him a blank look and reached out to hug the little fourth son.
After the little fourth son threw himself into Gongsun's arms, he stuffed the remaining pastries into Gongsun's mouth, and asked while hugging, "Has Daddy eaten?" ”
"yes, let's go to dinner?" Zhao Pu took Gongsun's shoulder very easily.
"Are you still in the mood for dinner?" Gongsun glared at Zhao Pu.
The corners of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched, and he didn't seem to be in much of a mood, "Do you know what to do?" ”
Gongsun was stunned for a moment, "Do you know what to do?" ”
Zhao Pu touched his chin, "There's no reason, this matter is so secret, how do you know about it?" ”
"You know that you're still dangling alone, what about the shadow guard?" Gongsun was nervous, and this person knew that someone was going to assassinate him, and he didn't care.
Zhao Pu looked at Gongsun and touched his chin, "What you said and what I said don't seem to be the same thing." ”
Gongsun was stunned, "Oh! ”
Xiao Sizi looked at the two of them with a smile, and you spoke word by word, and the mood was inexplicably good.
"What did you say?" Gongsun asked Zhao Pu, thinking about it, there is no reason to know the Tao so quickly.
"Uh......" Zhao Pu looked left and right, indicating that this is not the place to talk, go back and talk about it.
Gongsun wanted to get on the sedan chair, Zhao Pu pouted, "Why is the sedan chair so slow, get on the horse." ”
Gongsun saw that Zhao Puyi turned over and got the black owl, so he took the little fourth son and put it in front of him, and stretched out his hand to pull Gongsun.
Gongsun frowned, "Three people? Can the black owl eat it? ”
The corners of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched, "You're only a few taels ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was pinched by the little fourth son, and sure enough, Gongsun's eyebrows were raised.
Zhao Pu hurriedly explained, "Oh, you're only a few taels lighter than me, it's okay, the black owl camel is three or four hundred catties." ”
Gongsun's face softened a little.
Zhao Pu put a force on his hand and lifted Gongsun up.
Gongsun sat down behind him.
Zhao Pudao also made an exaggerated expression, "Wow...... It's heavy. ”
Gongsun's face improved a lot, and the fourth son shook his head helplessly.
"Hold on." Zhao Pu signaled to Gongsun - come! Wrap your arms around your waist!
Gongsun gave him a blank look.
"I don't care if I don't hold it and fall down." After Zhao Pu finished speaking, he kicked the black owl's ass.
The black owl suddenly rushed out of the sky, and Gongsun shook it, and hurriedly hugged Zhao Pu's waist - so fast!
Zhao Pu shook the reins, and the black owl ran in the direction of Kaifeng Mansion with joy, don't look at the black owl's habit of rampage on weekdays, but he can cleverly avoid pedestrians when he runs in the city, and he doesn't touch anything on the side of the street wherever he goes.
Gongsun sat behind Zhao Pu, a little puzzled...... Is it a relationship between horses or people? Running in the city, I didn't run very fast, but I had the feeling of galloping between the wide world. And Zhao Pu, who is occasionally lazy and not serious on weekdays, seems to be a lot more alive when he gets on the horse.
"Hey, Zhao Pu." Gongsun poked him in the shoulder.
"Huh?" Zhao Puzheng taught the fourth son to try to grab the reins and ride a horse, and when he heard Gongsun call him, he answered.
"What happened to you when you entered the palace?" Gongsun asked.
Zhao Pu seemed to suddenly remember, and he was annoyed, "Don't mention it, Concubine Pang and Concubine Mei quarreled." **”
Gongsun was stunned and frowned, "The concubine quarreled about this, and then the emperor sent you to deal with household affairs?" ”
"You don't remember?" Zhao Pu turned around and asked Gongsun, "As I told you, these concubines never quarrel. ”
"Oh......" Gongsun remembered, "but it's not uncommon to quarrel, after all, a husband is inevitably jealous." ”
"Not that problem." Zhao Pu shook his head, "Zhao Zhen has rules, once the concubines quarrel and the harem makes trouble, no matter how much they are favored, they will be served in the cold palace." ”
"So strict?" Gongsun admired Zhao Zhen a little, the head of the family was full of tone, tsk!
"These concubines don't even have a heart and eye on weekdays, but this time it is said that they are so noisy that they even lift the table." Zhao Pu was helpless, "Don't you think it's strange?" Usually a few women who are soft and weak, can't even catch a rabbit, and this time they quarrel and flip the table. ”
Gongsun frowned, "That's right, these two are everyone's best girls, and they shouldn't be so barbaric when they are angry." ”
"Not really." Zhao Pu shook his head, "This person, you really can't be angry, especially women, who are originally very good-looking, but their faces are ugly when they are angry." ”
Gongsun was a little puzzled when he heard this, "What did you say that you have changed?" ”
"It's just that I feel like my whole face is deformed, and the flesh is very tight." Zhao Pu shook his head, "It's a pity for the two beauties."
Gongsun thought for a while and said to Zhao Pu, "I want to go and see ...... of them."
Zhao Pu seemed to be a little embarrassed, "I've thought about it in the cold palace at this time, it may not be so convenient." ”
Seeing that Gongsun seemed to be confused, Zhao Puduo was smart and immediately asked, "Do you think there is a problem?" ”
"Hmm...... There should be no sudden change in people's temperament. Gongsun muttered to himself, "Could it be poisoning or the cause of the drug?" But who did these two concubines offend? And who poisoned them with great powers? ”
"Alas, in short, women are annoying." Zhao Pu pursed his lips and decided to change the subject, "By the way, what did you just tell me?" ”
Gongsun thought about it and told Zhao Pu that he and Zhanzhao were following Huang Yuanwai's family.
Zhao Pu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled, "Huh? How can a cloth dyer kill me? ”
"Do you have any quirks?" Gongsun asked him.
"Quirk ......" Zhao Pu scratched his chin, "It seems to be a lot." ”
Gongsun was also quite helpless, "What about cloth?" ”
Zhao Pu thought for a long time, "I'm dressed!" ”
Gongsun glanced at him and knocked him on the back of the head, "It's a quirk not to wear it!" ”
Zhao Pu touched the back of his head, "I said nerd, you are also the first person in the world, you dare to knock on my brain, the emperor doesn't dare." ”
Gongsun was about to say something, when a voice came, "Where are you going?" ”
Gongsun and Zhao Pu were stunned for a moment, feeling that the voice was a little familiar, and looked back at the sound...... I saw Zhan Zhao standing at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, looking at the two of them curiously, and they were riding horses with their little four sons, and they had already walked through Kaifeng Mansion, and they didn't know what to do.
"Uh......" Gongsun hurriedly dismounted and stretched out his hand to take the little fourth son.
Zhao Pu also turned over and dismounted, and Zhanzhao remembered what Aunt Qing said before, and he wanted to throw away the intoxicating flower, so he said a word to Zhao Pu.
"Intoxicating flowers." Zhao Pu frowned slightly, and began to mumble to himself, "This flower ......"
"What's wrong?" Gongsun asked.
"Ah......" Zhao Pu seemed to suddenly remember something, "Concubine Pang and Concubine Mei seemed to carry out the intoxicating flower and put it in the courtyard. ”
Zhan Zhao didn't quite understand, "Put it in the yard?" ”
"I heard from the little eunuch next to Concubine Pang that Concubine Pang and Concubine Mei usually have a good relationship, and both of them like to paint, and it seems that they quarreled when they were painting according to their intoxicated flowers." As soon as Zhao Pu finished speaking, he saw a guard not far away hurriedly running over, "Lord Wang, it's terrible!" ”
"What's going on again?" Zhao Pu's face was elongated, and he said in his heart that he had known that he would not return to Kaifeng, it was all a matter!
"The two guards suddenly fought, hurting the emperor."
"What?" Zhao Pu was shocked, "Is the injury serious?" ”
"It's not heavy, but fortunately, Lord Nangong is here." The guards were helpless, "But this time it was the two Ouchi guards who fought this time, and they were loyal to their duties on weekdays, this time it was incredible, so Lord Nangong said that you would like to go to the palace, and it is best for the people from Kaifeng Mansion to go too." ”
Zhao Pu nodded, Zhanzhao and the others also followed, and Gongsun stuffed the little fourth son to Tianzun and Yin Hou, who came out to see the excitement, and quickly followed.
Tianzun looked at the little fourth son.
Xiao Sizi first tilted his head to see Gongsun and them walking away, turned around, and saw Tianzun, and suddenly turned his face.
Gongsun was slightly stunned and shook him, "Baby, why don't you pay attention to me?" ”
The little fourth son pouted - no righteousness!
Tianzun wanted to rub him twice, but the fourth son asked someone to snatch him.
The fourth child looked up and saw Aunt Hong smiling at him, "Oh, it's so cute, play with Aunt Hong for a while." With that, he carried it and left.
The little fourth son is still wondering - how to play?
……
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rushed to the palace, and saw that there was a commotion in the palace, and the guards were very nervous, after all, Zhao Zhen was injured, which was a big deal.
Bao Zheng, the Eighth Prince, and Pang Taishi were all there, the Eighth Princes were sitting on the edge of the bed, and Zhao Zhen was lying on the bed.
Zhao Pu was startled when he saw that Zhao Zhen was in bed, and walked over and asked, "How is the injury?" ”
"Out of the way." Zhao Zhen waved his hand and pointed to his arm, "It's just that my arm is injured, and Uncle Huang made a fuss and insisted that I lie down." ”
Zhao Pu checked the injury and made sure that there was no major problem, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's going on?" Zhao Pu asked Nangong.
Nangong whispered, "It's very strange, these two guards have followed me for many years, and they have a good relationship with each other, I don't know why Lu Dao suddenly turned against me today, fought hard, and injured the emperor." ”
"Another sudden reversal?" Zhao Pu thought for a moment and asked, "What were they doing before they fought?" ”
"They are responsible for guarding the courtyard to prevent Concubine Pang and Concubine Mei from clashing again, and the two concubines are not very emotionally stable now." Nangong shook his head, "I don't know what day I have today, everyone is so irritable." ”
"Is there that pot of intoxicating flowers in the yard?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Everyone was stunned, and Nangong nodded, "Yes, put it on the stone table in the courtyard." ”
Gongsun frowned slightly, "According to what you say...... There is something wrong with this intoxicating flower. ”
Bao Zheng thought for a moment, "It's really weird. ”
Leaving the eighth prince to accompany Zhao Zhen, the others went to the courtyard together, and once again looked at the strange intoxicating flowers.
Different from what I saw last night, the pot of intoxicating flowers was placed on the stone table in the middle of the garden, the petals looked crystal clear in the sunlight, and the red was even more gorgeous, but also a little weird.
Gongsun touched his nose, "Huh? Do you smell a smell? ”
"Floral." Zhan Zhao was the first to answer, he had a smart nose.
"Lots of flowers here." Bai Yutang looked at the flowers around him, and it was common to smell the fragrance of flowers in the garden.
Zhanzhao shook his head, "The taste of tofu flowers!" ”
The crowd was silent.
"It really smells of beans." Bao Zheng also nodded.
"Beany smell?" Master Pang leaned over to the intoxicating flower and sniffed it.
Gongsun Gang wanted to stop him and tell him not to get so close, but he was gently dragged by Bao Zheng.
Gongsun looked back at him, and saw Bao Zheng's black face winking at him, which meant - let him try.
Master Pang sniffed next to the intoxicating flower for a while, and frowned, "At first, it smelled like beans, but after smelling it for a long time, there was a smell of peach blossoms." ”
"Hmm......" Master Pang touched his chin and frowned as he sniffed.
Everyone saw that he smelled it for a long time, and there was no change, and Gongsun felt that it was because he was too careful, and it had nothing to do with the intoxicating flower.
Walking next to the flower, Gongsun took out a small medicine box and asked Zhao Pu, "Can you smash a piece?" ”
Zhao Pu nodded, "It's no problem if it's smashed." ”
Gongsun then took out a small hammer and knocked off a petal.
Zhan Zhao was staring at Gongsun curiously, and he felt Bai Yutang suddenly touch him gently.
Zhan Zhao turned around, only to see Bai Yutang's eyes, and asked him to take a look at Master Pang.
Zhan Zhao looked over, and saw that the Taishi silently walked aside, picked up a pot of peonies, and walked back silently.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, what did the Taishi do when he went to get a pot of peonies? was wondering, suddenly, I saw the Taishi raise the flower pot and smashed it at Bao Zheng.
"Dead sunspots, I will die with you today!" Taishi roared, this flower pot went down, and Lord Bao estimated that he would lose half his life if he didn't die.
Fortunately, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang moved quickly, Zhan Zhao pulled the bag open, and Bai Yutang caught the flower pot with one hand.
When the Taishi saw that he didn't hit it, he wanted to pounce on it to pack the adult, but fortunately, Nangong stopped the Taishi with a group of guards.
Bao Zheng was also scared into sweating. Pang Ji and he are usually noisy and noisy, after all, Taishi is a person with status, and he is also relatively slow to react to fat, so he is really angry and stamps his feet and pants at most. And Pang Ji is a smart man, every time he gets angry or something, it's just a little bit like a child, how have you ever seen him so murderous today, like a ghost.
Bai Yutang returned his hand and clicked on the Taishi's acupoint.
Gongsun spoke, "Find a vat, ask for a large vat, fill it with water." ”
Nangong Ji hurriedly took someone to buy it, and Gongsun took out a few bottles of medicine and gave them to Zhanzhao, "Give it to Taishi to eat, one for each one." ”
Zhan Zhao was surprised, "Is the Taishi poisoned or what?" ”
"Poisoning is certain, but I don't know what kind of poison he has, all the medicines here are detoxified, the best way is to give him one of everything, as for whether it has an effect, it depends on it."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, feeling that Gongsun's expression was serious, it seemed that this matter was not so simple.
Nangong lifted the water tank over, Gongsun asked people to quickly sink the intoxicating flower into the water, and then took out a bottle of medicinal powder and poured some into the tank, and after a while, he saw that the water in the tank turned blood red, and the color was very disgusting.
"Something!" Zhao Pu frowned.
"This flower has been soaked in poison, and it has been quenched for I don't know how many days, so the color is so bright." Gongsun shook his head, "That person who is not good at seeing the country is not kind, and the trick he uses is too vicious, it is fortunate that it has not rained these days, otherwise the people in the entire palace will become extremely irritable." Once it rains heavily for several days in a row, the rain will wash the poison into the ground, and even endanger the whole Kaifeng! ”
"Recently, Kaifeng is the season of a lot of rain." Zhan Zhao frowned, said, glanced at Bao Zheng not far away, and saw him frowning and lowering his head, his face solemn.
After being poured more than a dozen pills, Master Pang got better, panting and rubbing his face, "Oops, my head hurts!" ”
Gongsun checked his pulse, picked out one of the bottles and handed it to Nangong Ji, "Give it to the two concubines and the two guards, they are all innocent, and the poisoning caused the emotions to be out of control." ”
Nangong Ji hurriedly took the medicine bottle, gave Gongsun a salute, and hurried to deliver the antidote.
At this time, the great eunuch Chen Gonggong also came, it seems that the emperor received the news, and he knew that the drunken flower was poisonous, so he came to ask about the situation.
Gongsun said that he came just in time, so he prescribed a prescription for him, and asked him to immediately boil the decoction according to the prescription, as much as he wanted, and all the people in the inner courtyard of the palace who had passed through the drunken heart flower had to take it, even a few of them.
When things were arranged, Zhanzhao asked Bao Zheng, "My lord." ”
"Huh?" Bao Zheng raised his head, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"Is there any secret to this intoxicating flower and peach blossom girl?" Zhan Zhao also asked cheerfully, "I see that you, the prince, and the prince have been worried about it recently." ”
"Uh......" Bao Zheng opened his mouth and looked at Pang Ji on the side.
Master Pang scratched his head, the expressions of these two people were obviously something, but they couldn't say anything.
At this time, I heard someone talking outside the courtyard, "I also want to know the way." ”
Everyone looked over, and sure enough, Zhao Zhen couldn't lie down, got up and arrived at the gate of the courtyard, followed by the pale Eighth Prince.
Zhao Pu looked at the three of them, anxious, "What are you doing?" What can't be said? ”
Everyone was silent for a long time, and then they heard the eighth prince say, "Find a place to talk." ”
Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned, ordered the left and right to retreat first, and everyone went to the study and closed the door.
"Brother Huang." Zhao Pu asked the eighth prince, "What is the matter?" ”
"Ugh." The eighth prince sighed helplessly, "Paper can't contain the fire after all, and it has come true." ”
"Fulfillment?" The people looked at each other—what fulfillment.
"This peach blossom debt, intoxicated flowers...... It is related to a royal secret, which is a taboo for the Zhao family. The Eighth Prince said, shaking his head slightly, "If you tell the world, it may shake the foundation of my Great Song Dynasty." ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard - so serious?
"It's not serious, and it's not so hard to hide." Bao Zheng shook his head.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and Zhao Zhen spoke, "Say it, if you don't say it, something big may happen." ”
Zhan Zhao felt that there was something strange in it, and habitually turned his eyes to look at Bai Yutang, but saw that Bai Yutang's eyebrows were furrowed, and he seemed to have something on his mind.
Zhan Zhao touched his chin - how come everyone has a secret lately?
