Chapter Thirty-Nine
Wang Xiao was very satisfied with the identity and time of entry arranged by the system this time.
Everything was just beginning, and he had plenty of time to get things done.
Sun Ruowei's pain was nothing more than the loss of relatives and friends one by one, and her sister turned against her, until Zhu Zhanji died of illness and her son was arrested in Tumubao.
If you want her to be happy for a lifetime, you have to start from the beginning.
It's still the same sentence as before, no matter what you want to do, you have to get money first. If you don't have any money in your hand, even Emperor Zhu Di will be tied. What's more, Wang Xiao at this time is only the identity of the emperor's grandson.
But before he can find a way to get the money, he has one more important thing to do, even related to all the plans that follow.
Wang Xiao returned to the East Palace Prince's Mansion with a group of brocade guards, which was not in accordance with the rules. But naturally, no one will be stupid enough to run to the grandson to talk about any rules.
"Dad, mother." Wang Xiao met the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and the crown princess here.
He used to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he is naturally familiar with royal etiquette. It's a good thing it's a different world, and if it's the same world, it's really messed up.
"Yo~~~ Why did you come back so early today." Zhu Gaochi, who was wide and fat, and had a rich face, hugged the dog and teased Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao smiled slightly, glanced at Hou Tai, the personal eunuch standing respectfully beside the prince, and said with a smile, "I have a little thing I want to tell you two." ”
The prince looked at him suspiciously, and then waved his hand to let the eunuchs and palace maids around him out.
"Father-in-law Hou, please stay." Wang Xiao greeted Hou Tai amiably and stayed: "This matter still needs to be done by Father-in-law Hou." ”
Hou Tai hurriedly saluted, "Taisun, but there are orders, and the little ones will go to the soup and go to the fire." ”
Wang Xiao smiled and nodded, "Very good, I hope Gonggong Hou can do what he says." ”
When the idlers and others left, Wang Xiao motioned to several brocade guards behind him, "Go and close the door, someone will overhear it and cut it directly." ”
As the door was closed, Hou Tai clearly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. And the prince on the side couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do?" ”
Wang Xiao's face changed, and he waved his hand suddenly, "Take it!" ”
Jin Yiwei quickly attacked, and in an instant, Hou Tai was arrested.
The crown prince and the crown princess were shocked and eagerly asked, "What is this?" ”
Wang Xiao slowly came to Hou Tai, who called for Rao again and again, and looked at him half-squatting, "Hou Tai, Hou Gonggong." You're so loyal. ”
Hou Tai was sweating profusely and begged for mercy again and again.
Wang Xiao said slowly, "You have studied medicine in Shang Hospital, and the tonic medicine you helped the prince boil, Kanto ginseng, and snow toad are really attentive to making medicine." But I've heard that as long as this medicine has a little more of each ingredient, it becomes a chronic poison. Moreover, why did you boil these medicines in the Han Palace? ”
As soon as these words came out, Hou Tai immediately became cold like a stone sculpture. The deepest secret in his heart has been discovered.
The crown prince and the crown princess on the side sat directly on the chairs. They really didn't expect that the most trusted personal eunuch was actually the person of the Han King!
Han King Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Di's second son. Holding military power, he has been following Zhu Di to fight everywhere. It is the existence that poses the greatest threat to the status of the crown prince.
Later, when Zhu Di fell ill in Yumuchuan, the biggest reason why he hesitated to pass the position to Zhu Gaochu before the battle was that the crown prince Zhu Gaochi's health was not good. And his physical failure is due to the chronic poison sent by Hou Tai.
Wang Xiao cut off this line at this moment in order to cut off the biggest hidden danger.
"Yes, you're such a good minion!" The crown princess was trembling with anger, and she slapped the table and prepared to find a public announcement.
"Sit down!" Zhu Gaochi, who is smiling on weekdays, is extremely powerful when he is really angry.
Zhu Gaochi looked at Wang Xiao, "How did you find out?" ”
Of course, Wang Xiao can't say that I know it by watching TV series, all he can say is "I have my own news channel." As for the specifics, I will understand after Jinyiwei's interrogation. Father-in-law Hou, you said before that you are willing to go to the soup, but don't forget your oath. ”
Zhu Gaochi and the crown princess naturally believed in their son, and after Hou Tai, who was about to faint, was dragged away, the crown princess said impatiently, "Tell the old man about this." murdered his own brother, he is really a good brother. ”
The prince waved his hand and looked at Wang Xiao, "What do you think?" Do you want to tell your grandfather. ”
Wang Xiao shook his head: "With Hou Tai's words alone, even if you find some evidence, it's useless." This is not to defeat the king of Han. And even if grandpa knew about it, he would definitely punish King Han severely. But it won't be long before he will be forgiven. ”
"Why!" The crown princess was about to be.
"Because my grandfather himself started a rebellion, what I was most worried about was that my father and several brothers turned against him. Even if you know, you will only try your best to resolve it. And there will be thoughts in my heart about whether my father is framing King Han with bitter tricks. After all, Hou Tai is his father's personal eunuch. ”
"Or are they justified!" The emerald beads in the crown princess's hair trembled with anger, "Is it just that I don't know?" ”
"That's right." Wang Xiao nodded, "Just treat it as if you don't know, and quietly deal with it." It's just that this matter can't be hidden from grandpa, and Jinyiwei doesn't eat dry food. But as long as we choose not to make a noise but take the initiative to cover it up, the impression on my grandfather will be very different. ”
The crown princess trembled angrily, kicked her beloved pet dog away, and was about to go to the door to scold the street regardless of the long skirt.
"Hahaha~~~" Prince Zhu Gaochi took the princess's hand, and smiled and stretched out his hand to point at Wang Xiao, "My family's Qianli Ju has finally grown up, this is a good thing." ”
"You're both crazy." The crown princess stomped her feet in hatred and turned back to the inner room.
"I'll go to the Imperial Prison first to see if there are any other accomplices in Na Houtai. In the future, the people around my father must be strict and strict. ”
"Go, go, go." Zhu Gaochi smiled and waved his hand. When Wang Xiao left, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Second child, I have a good son." You don't. ”
Hou Tai was just a eunuch, and he was not a loyal man with a firm faith. entered Jinyiwei's prison, and before the real punishment was served, everything was already recruited.
Looking at the confession in his hand, Wang Xiao took a deep breath and threw the confession into the stove next to him.
Wang Xiao turned around and left, "Hou Tai himself said that he was going to go to the soup to fight the fire, and you will fulfill him." ”
The brocade guards behind him responded in unison, "Yes!" ”
Not long after Wang Xiao returned to the East Palace, a eunuch came to report that the emperor had summoned him.
All the way to the imperial study, I saw Zhu Di reading a piece of paper with his back to him.
"See the Emperor."
"Here we are." Zhu Di put the paper in his hand on the table. If Wang Xiao could see it, he would be able to recognize that this was the confession of Hou Tai's painting that he had seen in the Imperial Prison before. Of course, this is an attachment.
Zhu Di sat down on the chair and looked at Wang Xiao with complicated eyes. After a moment, he said, "How's things going today?" ”
"I already have some clues, and I'm ready to put a long line to catch big fish."
"Oh." Zhu Di picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Which big fish?" ”
Wang Xiao looked up at him and softly spit out a name, "Jianwen." ”
"There is nothing to worry about orphans, the only real big fish is Jianwen. He is the only one who is the real goal. ”
Zhu Di laughed, "Okay, that's good." You're doing a good job, and you want a reward. ”
Wang Xiao didn't hear what Zhu Di meant, and said with a smile: "I really want to ask grandpa to give me some reward." ”
In his heart, he was about to reward Wang Xiao for his general knowledge, and Zhu Di, who took care of the overall situation, smiled. ”
"A few days ago, my grandson was looking for an ancient recipe that could filter the yellowed and blackened sugar on the market into white sugar. If this happens, it will definitely make a lot of money. It's just that the grandson is short of money and has no start-up capital. I want to ask grandpa for some support. ”
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, "Do you still have this kind of ability?" Why do you make so much money? ”
Zhu Di is definitely a hero-level figure, and he was thinking about rewarding Wang Xiao before, but in a blink of an eye, he began to suspect that Wang Xiao was making money to do something big.
Wang Xiao looked up at him, "My grandson knows that my grandfather will have a wish, which is to completely pacify Mobei and seal the wolf in Xu Mountain." But the country's income from money and food is limited, and grandpa's wish has never been completely fulfilled. So I thought I could make some money to subsidize my grandfather, so that my grandfather could get what he wanted. ”
Zhu Di looked at him deeply, and Wang Xiao also looked at each other without fear, his eyes were pure.
After a long time, Zhu Di nodded slowly: "I have received your wishes." But that's not a reward, you mention one more. ”
Wang Xiao stepped forward with a smile and beat his legs for him, "It's very interesting to meet a girl today, but the identity is not very good." I still want to ask my grandfather to fulfill this matter. ”
In fact, Zhu Di understood Wang Xiao's every move clearly, and naturally knew which one he was talking about.
"You monkey cub, you think about women all day long at a young age. Is this a thing? Forget it, it's up to you. ”
Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Sun Ruoweijing's identity as an orphan is a hidden danger, and it will explode like a bomb in the future. Now reporting to Zhu Di in advance is equivalent to dismantling the fuse.
When Wang Xiao left, Zhu Di picked up the confession on the table and handed it to the candle and lit it, "This kid is really good." ”
On Wang Xiao's way back to the East Palace, it was already dark. Several troublesome things were solved today, and Wang Xiao, who was in a good mood, hummed a little song with a smile.
Looking at the many palace maids and eunuchs who saluted on the road, Wang Xiao suddenly remembered a person who had a huge influence on Sun Ruowei. It is also Sun Ruowei's lifelong regret.
"Oops, it's been a busy day today, and I'm hungry. I want to eat a small stove. ”
The eunuch accompanying him hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Taisun, go and let the imperial dining room prepare for Taisun." ”
"There's no need to be so troublesome, it's a lot of trouble at night." Wang Xiao waved his hand, "By the way, where is Hu Shangyi?" Find her to figure it out. ”
Hu Shangyi is the female official of the palace department, that is, the head of all the palace maids in the palace. She has an adopted daughter named Hu Shanxiang, whose real identity is Sun Ruowei's own sister.
In the future, because of the matter of King Han and the premature birth of the child, Hu Shanxiang and Sun Ruowei turned against each other. This is an important knot in Sun Ruowei's heart.
"Meet the grandson."
Hu Shangyi, who is about forty years old, has top-notch etiquette, and even if he has doubts when he sees Wang Xiao visiting at night, he will never reveal it on the surface.
Wang Xiao pulled a chair and sat down, "I just came back from grandpa." I'm hungry and want to eat something good, but I don't want to let the imperial dining room run it with a lot of fanfare. Hu Shangyi do me a favor. ”
Hu Shangyi chuckled and nodded, "It is our duty to serve the master, please sit down and rest for a while." ”
Wang Xiao picked up the snacks on the table and ate them casually, looking around without a trace. Soon he met a palace maid who secretly looked at him.
"Isn't this Tang Youyou?"
Wang Xiao retracted his gaze and smiled in his heart, and found it.
