Chapter 105: Worry
"Did you find out?"
In a bamboo hut somewhere in the capital, Rong Che was dressed in a silver-black robe, and his face was cold like never before.
In front of him was a man with a ghost mask, and the man stood in front of him respectfully, shaking his head: "The places in the capital that should have been checked have been checked, and there is no poison in the young lady's body, only one place has not been checked." ”
"Where?"
"The Imperial Palace." The ghost-faced man said: "You know, our Seven Star Pavilion has never been entangled with the people in the palace, and the emperor is not a vegetarian, if we rashly go to the palace to investigate, we will definitely let him find out." ”
"The emperor will soon go with me to the southwest to quell the riots." Rong Che looked at him with a sharp look in his eyes.
The ghost-faced man knew that Rong Che did not hesitate to offend the emperor, but also to find out the true fragrance of Wei Qingqing's poisoning.
The ghost-faced man looked at him and asked, "Is it worth it?" Your Guogong Mansion, in order to guard against the emperor, has endured for so many years, and now if the Seven Star Pavilion is exposed, the emperor's killing of you will have to rise again, and when the time comes, ......"
"With or without the Seven Star Pavilion, the emperor won't let us have a good time." Rong Che looked into the distance with deep eyes, he knew from the beginning that the emperor could not tolerate the Guogong Mansion, and the current reuse was just to have a reason to clear it in one fell swoop in the future.
Instead of continuing to hibernate. It is also time for the emperor to know that the Guogong Mansion is not just an ant that he can pinch to death at will!
The emperor's decree came quickly, but it was only a secret decree, and it was not read.
The moment the Duchess saw the decree, her face darkened.
Grandpa Guo wanted to comfort him, but he was directly blasted out of the room by her.
"Ma'am." Grandpa Guo stood outside the door and wanted to explain aggrievedly: "It's really not my idea this time, it's the emperor who trusts us Che'er and wants to take him out......"
"Trust?" The Duchess sneered: "If you really trust us Che'er." will not let him go alone, and think about sending Qingqing to the palace to serve the old lady. Is that to ask Qingqing to serve? That's obviously asking her to be a hostage, to restrain us Che'er, do you think this is trust? ”
Grandpa Guo was speechless, and he held back for a long time before he coaxed softly: "Okay, this is the emperor's will, what can we do......"
"Yes, you can't help it, all these years, Hai'er Che'er, you, as a father, have never protected them." Duchess Guo's tone was already a little choked, as if she was deflated, and she didn't bother to argue with Grandpa Guo: "You go, stay away from me, anyway, for so many years, we have never really been close." ”
"Madame......"
Grandpa Guo seemed to have something to say, but the words came to his lips a few times. They all swallowed deeply, turned and left.
In the house, Mama Cao saw the back of Grandpa Guo leaving, and then looked at Mrs. Guo, who was sitting on one side with slightly red eyes, and softly comforted: "Madame, why should you be angry with the master, in the end, this is not the master's business, it is the emperor's ......"
"I have to let the emperor see that the Guogong Mansion has nothing to do with him, so that he can rest assured that Che'er will follow, so as not to ...... halfway" The Duchess didn't continue, she had never seen what kind of tactics she had done in the military camp before, and it was too simple to let a person die silently halfway.
When Mama Cao heard this, she just sighed.
"By the way, have you sorted out the dowry list?" The Duchess asked.
"It's sorted out, but the young lady has been sick for this time, so it's ......"
"Let's send it first." The Duchess sighed, unwilling to say more.
At this time, Wei Qingqing had just learned the news that Rong Che was going to go out tomorrow.
"I'll ask someone to clean up the things for the second master." Wei Qingqing sat on the couch by the window, and the whole person was strong and energetic, but it was still not as usual.
"No need, you rest, I have something to tell you."
Rong Che sent the others down, stepped forward to take her in his arms, and saw that her lips, which had always been red before, were now slightly white, and her brows were furrowed.
"Ye originally planned to take you to the southwest with me, but it seems that this time it will not work, you stay in the mansion alone, you have to be very careful."
Rong Che said softly.
Wei Qingqing laughed: "Did the second master forget, the concubine is not easy to bully." ”
Rong Che's chin rested lightly on her shoulder, and she didn't know what to think, and it took a while to stuff something in her palm.
Wei Qingqing lowered her eyes and saw that it was a translucent black star-shaped pendant, and the sunlight penetrated through the window and reflected on this pendant, which was extremely beautiful.
"What is this?"
"Have you heard of the Seven Star Pavilion?" Rong Che asked her.
Wei Qingqing nodded, the Seven Star Pavilion is a well-known killer organization in the rivers and lakes, and I heard that what they do is some murder and over-the-top business, but ordinary people can't find anyone from the Seven Star Pavilion at all, and the Seven Star Pavilion never leaves a trace, so most people think that the Seven Star Pavilion is just a legend, and they don't think it really exists.
Wei Qingqing has always thought so.
"If you can't handle something by yourself, let someone take this pendant and go to Yinbao Village to find the owner, and someone will come to help you." Rong Che looked at the things lying in her snow-white palm, and smiled lightly: "I have already arranged people in the dark, but the situation in the capital is becoming more and more urgent, even if I leave people behind, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect you very thoroughly, and you must be extremely careful in your actions." ”
Wei Qingqing knew his worries, such as being poisoned unknowingly this time. Even his own party didn't notice it, so it's no wonder he was so uneasy.
"Second master, don't worry, I'll be fine." Wei Qingqing pulled his sleeve and leaned on his arms, also worried: "But the second master also wants to come back safely." ”
Back then, when he killed 300,000 water bandits alone, she didn't want to hear about it anymore, and she didn't want him to have such a time again.
Rong Che listened to her soft tone, and saw her curled up on her chest like a kitten, and her heart suddenly turned into water, and hugged her tightly in his arms.
stayed awake all night, and before dawn the next day, Wei Qingqing still had to send Rong Che out of the house.
As soon as Rong Che left, Wei Xun handed over the post of coming to see Wei Qingqing along with Wei Hu and Chi Yang, but Wei Qingqing didn't want them to worry about their poisoning, so he refused to see him, and only quietly recruited Liu Quanfu to come.
When Liu Quanfu saw Wei Qingqing, he was surprised: "Why is Miss ......?"
"I'm fine." Wei Qingqing knew that Rong Che was already looking for Han Xianzi's whereabouts, and she was suffering from chronic poison, and she couldn't die for a while.
Liu Quanfu frowned, but he didn't ask again.
"Miss summoned the little one, but you are not worried about the situation of the Wei family?" Liu Quanfu said, seeing Wei Qingqing nodding, then he said: "Miss Wei Mansion's affairs can rest assured, no matter what, there is always a Ruyang Mansion behind her back, and there is no big event, besides, the eldest prince...... is indeed a person suitable for officialdom. ”
Speaking of Wei Xun. Liu Quanfu's tone froze for a moment.
Wei Qingqing heard the abnormality and looked at Liu Quanfu, Liu Quanfu also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he told what he knew.
"The eldest prince is different from Master Wei, Master Wei is an honest and upright person, but the eldest prince seems to be familiar with the way of officialdom, during this time, in addition to quietly going in and out of the teahouse and tavern where the famous officials are, he is also very good at using small handles to pinch people. Although the eldest prince is still only a small Hanlin Academy review, the officials who visit the Wei Mansion every day are already like carp crossing the river, not to mention the posts that fly from the mansions of the major officials to invite the eldest prince to go out to play. ”
After Liu Quanfu finished speaking, he looked at Wei Qingqing, and saw that she was not too surprised, knowing that Wei Qingqing must have seen through Wei Xun early in the morning.
Wei Xun is not small in ambition and ability, especially because he learns quickly!
"In the end, the eldest brother has only just entered the officialdom, and no matter how good he is, there are still many shortcomings." Wei Qingqing looked at Liu Quanfu: "I hope that the shopkeeper will give more pointers." ”
Liu Quanfu looked at Wei Qingqing's sincere eyes, and immediately laughed: "You don't have to be instructed by Miss, the little one will do what he can, and try not to make the eldest son have an accident." ”
"The shopkeeper's ability to know and employ people must be above the eldest brother at this time, and the shopkeeper is willing to agree, and I am also relieved." Wei Qingqing said with a smile.
Liu Quanfu listened to Wei Qingqing's sincere tone, and became more and more willing to spend so much trouble.
Liu Quanfu told Wei Qingqing about the recent events in the capital. told Wei Qingqing as if the plane tree in the Four Princes' Mansion that was struck by lightning was a joke: "The thunder split the sycamore tree representing the phoenix tree, and the gossip immediately spread, saying that the four princes were going to kill the queen mother and other ladies in the palace. ”
Wei Qingqing looked at Liu Quanfu, who shook his head with a smile, and asked him suspiciously: "What is the reaction of the Four Princes' Mansion?" ”
"Reaction?" Liu Quanfu looked at Wei Qingqing's suspicious look, and his playful expression slowly calmed down: "Speaking of which, there is indeed a strange place:" On the night when the thunder fell, the four princes did not seem to be frightened, but looked a little happy. Although he quickly covered up the past, so far, he has not been seen entering the palace to greet the Queen Mother. ”
Wei Qingqing's eyes narrowed slightly, happy? With the courage of the fourth prince, he should have slept and eaten restlessly on the night when the thunder struck, so the only wish that made him happy was that the sycamore was struck by the thunder, which meant something good to him.
Listening to Liu Quanfu's meaning, the four princes seem to have been guarding this sycamore for a long time, presumably someone told him something in advance......
Rong Ruizhang...... What's going on lately? Wei Qingqing asked Liu Quanfu.
"After the death of Mrs. Zhang. He asked to leave the capital temporarily, but I just received news that his carriage was already outside the capital, and I was afraid that I would pass by my uncle's carriage. Liu Quanfu also realized the unusualness of this incident: "But during the time he left the capital, we have arranged a lot of eyeliner in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and besides, we still have a good card to deal with him." ”
Wei Qingqing wanted to say something more, but she felt very sleepy all over.
This kind of fatigue is worse than before.
Wei Qingqing rubbed her eyebrows and wanted to talk for a while, but her eyelids seemed to be unable to hold on, so she had to send Liu Quanfu down first, let him keep an eye on Rong Ruizhang, and then curled up on the couch and fell asleep.
Falling asleep, Wei Qingqing only faintly heard a man's sigh in his ears, which was not Rong Che.
At this time, Rong Ruizhang had successfully entered the capital, but as soon as he entered the city gate, a sharp arrow shot into his carriage and was firmly nailed to the wall of the carriage.
Aunt Jiang was so frightened that she snorted softly, and Rong Ruizhang immediately lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, only to see a black figure flashing quickly.
Rong Ruizhang seemed to recognize the man, looked at the familiar arrows on the wall of the car, and sneered disdainfully: "That's all he does." ”
"Xiangye, do you know who it is?" Aunt Jiang asked him in shock.
"Worthless rats." Rong Ruizhang disdainfully pulled out the arrow and threw it out. looked at Aunt Jiang who relied on him again, and felt a little better: "Don't worry, soon he will be buried in the ground, and he will no longer be able to pull this bow or let go of this arrow." ”
Rong Ruizhang said, and looked at the still prosperous and lively capital with a good mood, Rong Che has been out of Beijing today, and there is no one around Wei Qingqing to protect her all the time, he wants to take a look. How long can this woman resist!
Rong Ruizhang's carriage continued smoothly towards the Prime Minister's Mansion, and in the corner, Yang Daxian saw that the assassination had failed, and glared at the black-clothed man beside him gloomily: "I can't do a little thing!" ”
The man in black was also aggrieved: "The slave thinks that there is no need to kill Rong Xiang in such a hurry, anyway, the fourth prince has already abandoned him......"
"You know what?" Yang Daxian took a sip, if the four princes really abandoned him, they would not guard the plane tree every day, and now the plane tree was really struck by lightning as Rong Ruizhang said. That means that in the future, the four princes will really sit on the throne as Rong Ruizhang said.
If he doesn't get rid of Rong Ruizhang, then he will get rid of himself sooner or later.
But what else can be done......
"Long time no see."
Guo Qing appeared behind Yang Daxian with his chest hugged, smiling rather than smiling.
Yang Daxian looked back and saw that it was him, and was startled: "Why are you, haven't you been ...... by me?"
"I have rough skin and thick meat, and I can't die if I am stabbed, but next time you don't want to take revenge, stab me a second time." Guo Qing smiled.
Yang Daxian's face was slightly gloomy.
Guo Qing looked at the black-clothed man guarding behind him, and raised his eyebrows: "I'm just here to remind you, you need an ally to help you deal with Rong Ruizhang together, otherwise it's up to you to kill a treacherous and cunning prime minister, I'm afraid it's a fool's dream." ”
"...... your master"
"If you are willing to believe me, don't let go of secretly going to the third princess, the third princess is now in the same distress as you." Guo Qing said with a smile, and didn't explain more, and flew away directly.
Yang Daxian was confused, the third princess?
The third prince is attached to the crown prince, and he has long regarded the fourth prince as a thorn in the flesh, how can the third prince and concubine deal with Rong Ruizhang with him?
But......
Yang Daxian thought about Rong Ruizhang's disdainful smile when he left, Rong Ruizhang must have found out that it was himself, if he didn't prepare again, he was afraid that he would really die in the hands of Rong Ruizhang.
After thinking about it, Yang Daxian glanced in the direction where Guo Qing disappeared, and also turned to leave.
When Guo Qing came to see Wei Qingqing, Wei Qingqing had not woken up yet.
Lan Zhi asked him to wait for a while, and then went to the small kitchen to get the medicine for Wei Qingqing.
As soon as Lan Zhi left, Guo Qing couldn't stand still, and quietly moved to the vicinity of the wing where Lu Luo and Tang'er lived.
It was a separate space surrounded by a small bamboo forest, and now the bamboo leaves have withered a lot, but at least it is still tightly shielded.
As soon as Guo Qing looked around for the figure of the pothos, he heard a child's low cry somewhere, accompanied by a deliberately suppressed woman's scolding.
"It's all you, broom star, your mother is a shameless fox. I have to crawl on the second master's bed all day long, and now the young lady is unwell, and your mother is secretly making trouble! ”
"That's it, you still have the face to be a young master here, you don't want to think about it, you have no blood relationship with the second master at all, you are a wild seed, where did you get your face?"
Guo Qing stood in the dark, looking at the mothers-in-law who were gossiping around Tang'er, and then at Tang'er, although he was crying in a low voice, he didn't argue a word, just stood in place obediently, let these mothers-in-law be humiliated, and from time to time, he had to be pinched a few times by those mothers-in-law.
Guo Qing frowned, he knew about Wei Qingqing's poisoning, could it really be related to this child?
Guo Qing turned around and wanted to leave. After taking two steps, I saw the pothos running out of the alley on one side.
As soon as those mothers-in-law saw the pothos, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and they immediately dispersed, so angry that the pothos couldn't do it.
"Tang'er, are you okay, why did you run out alone, didn't my aunt tell you to study well in your room?" The green pothos hugged Tang'er distressedly, but Tang'er only lowered her head and asked her, "Is the young lady better?" ”
Luluo looked at him, and pursed her lips slightly: "Let's go back to the house." ”
"Isn't the young lady still well?"
Tang'er dodged the hand of the pothos, and asked with a little face full of tears: "I hurt the young lady, I am the nemesis......"
"Tang'er."
Luluo wanted to explain, but now she didn't know who poisoned Wei Qingqing.
In the dark, Guo Qing looked at the embarrassed appearance of the green pothos, then looked at Tang'er, was silent for a moment, and went to see Wei Qingqing.
When Wei Qingqing was drinking the medicine, she was really surprised when she heard him talk about this, she didn't know that these people were so bold, but during this time, she was groggy all day long, and she did delay a lot of things.
"A child is still someone else's, you don't have to worry too much." Guo Qing looked at her and said.
"Luluo is also a girl added by others, and Guo Daxia doesn't have to worry too much." Wei Qingqing replied to him.
Guo Qing was choked and immediately coughed, touched his nose and skimmed his face.
Wei Qingqing smiled lightly, called Lan Sheng, and gave a few commands, and then looked at Guo Qing: "Yang Daxian is cunning and suspicious, although he showed him the way, he may not necessarily go in the direction we expected, you have to keep an eye on it." ”
"You can rest assured. This old thing stabbed this hero, and this revenge must be avenged. After Guo Qing finished speaking, Wei Qingqing coughed again, and her face was very ugly.
Guo Qing has been wandering the rivers and lakes for decades, and when he looks at her like this, he only feels strange: "Since the hospital of the Tai Hospital is here, why is your illness not getting better at all?" Could it be ......"
"If it's all right, shouldn't the person who poisoned him be in a hurry?" Wei Qingqing's lips were cold.
When Guo Qing heard what she meant, he already had clues about the murderer, and it was also true that this Nizi was a ghost and a ghost, and she had been with her for so long, only to see her calculating people, but not to see others calculating her.
"Okay, when you find someone to tell me, I'll help you dismantle this person!"
