Chapter 240: Xiao Yan's eccentricity
Where did Xiao Yan die? I didn't even participate in the early dynasty!
Xiao Rui wondered in his heart, but he couldn't take care of him at this time, His Majesty had gone to the Chu Palace, and as a prince, he naturally had to follow him to show his respect and love for his brother.
When they came to the Chu Palace, the princes followed His Majesty to Xiao Yiheng's bedroom, and when they saw His Majesty in person, the imperial doctor in the house hurriedly knelt down, Xiao Yiheng was lying unconscious on the bed, his lips were pale, and his face was bloodless.
Emperor Xia sat on the bed in distress and asked, "How is King Chu's injury?" What poison is in the body? Is it detoxifying? ”
Imperial Doctor Zhang, the chief of the Tai Hospital, said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu only suffered a knife wound on his arm, the knife wound does not matter, he has already been treated with gold sore medicine to stop the bleeding and bandaged. Weichen has also taken antidote herbs for the king of Chu, but this poison is more strange, and the hospital has never heard of it, and now His Royal Highness the King of Chu is alive, but the poison has not been removed, so His Royal Highness the King of Chu has not woken up for a long time. Wei Chen is only a shallow learner, and I beg Your Majesty to punish him! Wechen is willing to apologize with death! ”
The Imperial Physician all knelt on the ground, and his heart was full of fear.
Emperor Xia said: "Since this poison is weird, why don't you study it quickly?" ”
"Yes, yes, Weichen will go." Imperial Doctor Zhang was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked the emperor, and retreated.
The group of imperial doctors left, and only Emperor Xia and the six princes standing in the room remained.
Xiao Lie stepped forward and said, "Father, the second brother Taji has his own natural appearance, don't worry, it will be fine." Just now, the imperial doctor said that his life is fine, but because the toxicity has not been removed, he has not woken up for a long time, and I believe that the imperial doctor will remove the toxicity as soon as possible, and the second brother can wake up. ”
"Yes, Father." Xiao Ze also said.
The other princes nodded one after another, and even Xiao Rui had to respond, and it didn't matter if he couldn't behave.
Emperor Xia nodded, and said: "You are concerned about the King of Chu, I am very pleased, the matter has come to this point, you must also take precautions, you have not yet found out the details of the assassins, I don't know whether it is only against the King of Chu, or against all the princes, so you must protect yourself, I will let the patrol battalion guard your palace, don't run around if there is nothing to do." Hey? What about the Tang King? ”
Only then did Emperor Xia react, where did the Nine Emperor Sons Tang Wang go?
Several other princes also looked left and right, shaking their heads one after another.
Xiao Rui said: "Father, King Tang may have been absent from the early dynasty for some reason, and after a while, the minister will go to the Tang Palace, see King Tang in person, and let him stay at home honestly and not cause trouble to his father." ”
Emperor Xia snorted lightly and said, "King Tang's temper is out of the ordinary, when you see him, just say it's my order, let him not run around." ”
"Yes!" Xiao Rui responded.
Subsequently, Emperor Xia got up and asked the people of the Chu Wangfu to take good care of the King of Chu, and he drove back to the palace.
After sending off His Majesty, several princes also patted their butts and left, Xiao Rui was not in a hurry to leave, he looked at Xiao Yiheng's side concubine Du Xueqin, who was really a stunner, and asked, "Sister-in-law Du, the princess is in the house?" ”
Du Xueqin said respectfully: "Sister, she went back to the Li Mansion to take care of Mrs. Li, she was not in the mansion last night, I have already ordered someone to inform my sister, it should be almost there." ”
Xiao Rui nodded, arched his hand and saluted back: "Then sister-in-law go in and take care of King Chu, you don't have to send it." ”
After speaking, Xiao Rui got into the carriage and left the Chu Palace.
I didn't go far, and I happened to come across a carriage from the Li Mansion at the corner of the street.
Xiao Rui opened the curtain and looked over, just opposite Li Xiu'er, who opened the curtain at the same time.
The two looked at each other, and the corners of Xiao Rui's mouth raised slightly, showing her a smile. Who knows, Li Xiuer pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and lowered the curtain.
The carriages missed, and each headed in the opposite direction.
Xiao Rui sat in the carriage, thinking about Li Xiu'er's attitude, and was puzzled in his heart.
Why did Li Xiuer suddenly become like this?
It's like suddenly becoming two people, is it possible to have multiple personalities? Schizophrenia?
Xiao Rui traced back and found that Li Xiuer's sudden change was still related to the incident on the Jingyuan cruise that day! She was slapped by Xiao Yiheng, hid in the corner and cried, and went to comfort her herself, but she let herself leave.
On that day, what happened to Li Xiu'er that caused her to move out of the Chu Palace, send Zhang Yizhi to Du Xueqin, and even ignore Xiao Rui's love, full of a sense of distance?
When Xiao Rui was full of doubts, he had already come to the Tang Palace.
Li Yuanfang called open the door, and after Xiao Rui entered, he asked the housekeeper: "Where is your Royal Highness?" ”
The steward said respectfully: "Your Highness was in the kitchen, and suddenly on a whim, he said that he wanted to boil porridge." ”
"Porridge?" Xiao Rui stopped, looking strange. Did this guy take the wrong medicine? I actually want to boil porridge, and the show is funny.
So under the guidance of the steward, Xiao Rui came to the kitchen, but saw that the kitchen door was closed, and the steward pointed inside, and said in a low voice: "The prince is alone inside." ”
Xiao Rui stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Don't come to disturb this king, who will disturb this king, this king will break his dog's legs!" Xiao Yan's angry voice came from inside.
Xiao Rui scolded directly: "Xiao Yan, open the door for me, otherwise I will kick it open!" ”
Immediately, there was a crackling sound inside, with the sound of broken porcelain and the sound of wooden basins falling to the ground.
Crunch... The wooden door was pulled open a crack, and Xiao Yan's head was exposed.
"It's Brother Seven, why are you here?" Xiao Yan said with a smile.
Xiao Rui asked, "What are you doing?" Why didn't you go to the early dynasty? Do you know that the king of Chu was assassinated? Father's wrath! ”
"Oh, I overslept, it was sooner or later anyway, and I didn't go. I also heard about the assassination of the second brother, he didn't die, it's okay, what a big thing, it's worth the father to be so angry and make a big fuss. Xiao Yan said.
Xiao Rui sensed that something was wrong with him, pointed to the kitchen, and asked, "What are you doing in there?" ”
"Porridge? Isn't it okay to make a bowl of porridge for my mother and express filial piety? Xiao Yan said righteously.
Xiao Rui stepped forward to push the door, but Xiao Yan actually stopped.
"Seventh brother, this is my house, I haven't boiled good porridge, and no one can enter." Xiao Yan said stubbornly.
Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, it was the first time he had seen Xiao Yan so tough, he withdrew his hand, nodded, and said: "That's right, this is your palace, since you want to boil porridge, then boil it, I'll come, just to convey my father's order to you, you have to go out these days, stay at home honestly, and don't let the assassins have a chance." ”
"Brother Qi, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere, I'll stay at home." Xiao Yan nodded like pounding garlic, and he didn't know whether it was perfunctory or well-behaved.
Xiao Rui nodded, then turned around and left Tang Wangfu.
On the way home, Xiao Rui knew that something must be wrong with Xiao Yan.
"Yuan Fang, find an opportunity to explore the Tang Palace, and see what is going on to make Xiao Yan change so much." Xiao Rui said.
Li Yuanfang responded: "Your Highness, don't worry, I understand." ”
Xiao Yan is a person who can make porridge? I'd rather believe in a man's promise and a woman's broken mouth, than believe that Xiao Yan would do a serious job of boiling porridge.
At the same time, the patrol battalion, Dongchang and Jinyiwei hurriedly investigated the capital, and at the cost of turning the capital upside down, they also wanted to find the murderer.
Xiao Rui was also curious about the origin of the assassin, so he asked Li Yuanfang to find Tian Ergeng first, and then go to Tang Wangfu afterwards.
Now that Wei Zhongxian is firmly in charge of the first division, he is particularly familiar with the control of the capital, although the pursuit of the assassin is responsible for the third division, but it also requires the dark web coordination of the first division.
Tian Ergeng brought the latest situation.
Last night's assassin was a woman, with martial arts around the fourth grade, and she was good at using her sword, although she stabbed Xiao Yiheng with a sword, she was also injured by Liu Feixue, the guard next to Xiao Yiheng, and when the assassin fled, she was injured in the back by Liu Feixue's flying knife.
According to the bloodstains, the patrol battalion has locked the escape route of the deceased in Tianxing Street in the southern area of the city, and within a radius of five miles from Tianxing Street as the center, it may be the place where the assassins are hiding.
But...
The south of the city was originally the residence of dignitaries, and within a radius of five miles with Tianxing Street as the center, there were many powerful people, such as Shang Jin University Scholars, Tang Wangfu, Zhou Mingwen Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, and Xiguo Mansion.
Although His Majesty has ordered a strict search, ordinary people do not dare to search these powerful mansions. Therefore, Zhang Jinfu, the Marquis of Zhongyong, could only lead the way in person and ask if there were any traces of assassins found in the mansions within the range.
In addition, Dongchang also secretly controlled all the pharmacies in the national capital, the assassin lost too much blood and was seriously injured, and ordinary gold sore medicine was difficult to heal, and he had to be treated internally and externally, so he secretly controlled all the pharmacies, and once someone bought the relevant herbs, he could catch the assassin along the vine.
After reading the situation, Xiao Rui also had to admire the methods of Dongchang, there are so many pharmacies in the national capital, and if you say that control and prevention will control and prevent, this is not a small means.
"How many spies are there in Dongchang in the capital? Do you know? Xiao Rui asked.
Tian Ergeng shook his head and said, "The roster of the dark web is only held by Wei Zhongxian, and although the villain is his righteous son, he doesn't fully trust it and doesn't tell him. But in the villain's opinion, tens of thousands of people should have it. ”
Xiao Rui smacked his lips, tens of thousands of people, it sounds like a lot, the national capital has a population of one million, and it is not much, but Dongchang can lay such a detailed dark web in such a short period of time, Xiao Rui highly suspects that His Majesty has secretly set up Dongchang a long time ago, but it has not been pushed to the table.
After sighing, Xiao Rui warned Tian Ergeng: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, follow Wei Zhongxian well, remember the words of this king, without my orders, you will listen to Wei Zhongxian in everything, don't let him doubt your loyalty!" ”
"The villain understands, Your Highness can rest assured!" Tian Ergeng said respectfully.
Xiao Rui waved his hand and said, "Let's go down, oh yes, if you have any new clues, just contact Yuan Fang in time." ”
"Yes!" Tian Ergeng responded to the road, and then left the Xianwang Mansion through the secret passage.
Subsequently, Li Yuanfang also left, and he was going to go to Tang Wang to find out what happened to Xiao Yan.
Near evening, Li Yuanfang came back, but unfortunately he sneaked into the Tang Palace, and did not find any useful value, it seems that Xiao Yan boiled porridge on a whim.
And on the side of the Chu Palace, Xiao Yiheng did not wake up for a long time.
The search of the patrol battalion, Dongchang and Jinyiwei was fruitless, and although Zhang Jinfu, the Marquis of Zhongyong, personally visited all the mansions where the assassins might be hiding, he could not search them and still found nothing.
The assassin mysteriously disappeared, is it in the wrong direction of the investigation, the assassin did not hide in a certain mansion, but hid in a certain carriage and left the south of the city? Or even out of town?
Or was he seriously injured and died somewhere?
And just like that, the time came the next day.
