Chapter 625: Blood Book (1)
After eating a full meal, Shi Bin dragged out of the palace with 'heavy steps'. Because he ate too much, Shi Bin lost his energy, so Shi Bin returned to the mansion as soon as he left the palace, just thinking about lying on the bed and sleeping on the water beautifully, which can be regarded as completing this follow-up need.
Shifu was only two streets away from the palace, and Shi Bin returned quickly. When he arrived at the door, Shi Bin suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake - he just wanted to have a good time for himself, but he forgot to bring Jia Ling and Sai Xishi some pastries back for them to taste.
"Xu Feng, remember not to tell the two ladies that I ate pastries in the palace, just say that the emperor left us for a meal." If he didn't tell him about it on the road, it would be fine, but Shi Bin took it out and showed it off in front of Xu Feng, which made him so nervous that he immediately admonished.
How smart is Xu Feng? He doesn't need Shi Bin to tell him that he must not say anything about pastries, who told Shi Bin to only care about himself but forget that there are still two gluttonous Hedong lions at home? If Shi Bin is blamed, he, the head of the guard, will not be pleased.
After returning home, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were very eager to ask what happened and discovered after Shi Bin entered the palace, except for pastries, Shi Bin said other things one by one. After hearing this, Jia Ling and the others were very happy that Li Zong was like this, before Li Zong was so unfair to Shi Bin, and Shi Bin could only swallow his anger. In this way, Shi Bin can be regarded as completely raising his eyebrows.
"Husband, hearing what you said, I guess I will be so happy that I can't sleep for three days and three nights." Jia Ling said with a smile.
"I probably won't be so happy that I can't sleep for three days and three nights, one day and one night for sure." Sai Xi Shi followed.
The two wives were so happy, Shi Bin was naturally very happy, and repeatedly said that he would make Li Zong more obedient. If he dares to disobey and secretly contact the officials as before, planning to bring him down, he must be good-looking, and even abolish the emperor and set up a new monarch.
As the speaker spoke, Shi Bin suddenly had a full hiccup, and as soon as this full hiccup came out, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi's faces immediately became gloomy. Shi Bin was apprehensive, but he didn't think that Jia Ling and Sai Xishi could find anything from a full hiccups, so he still pretended to be calm.
"Lady, what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong?" Jia Ling asked with a cold face.
"How do I know that?" Shi Bin still looks 'ignorant and ignorant'.
"What did you eat in the palace just now?"
"Isn't it just a normal meal? The treasury is not abundant, and the emperor can't eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but he just makes it more exquisite. Besides, even if the two ladies like the leftovers we have eaten, I can't bring them out to you as a husband? That's a shame. ”
"You're really going to pretend to be confused, husband, your ability to pretend to be stupid is getting higher and higher..." Sai Xishi smiled helplessly, "You really only ate some food and didn't eat anything else in the palace?" Like pastries or something? ”
After listening to Sai Xishi's words, Shi Bin was surprised and helpless, he never thought that Jia Ling and Sai Xishi could know what they had eaten from the little smell emitted by a full burp...
Since they were all recognized, Shi Bin didn't bother to continue to cover up, so he had to change his strategy.
"Two ladies, I was having dinner with the Emperor and found a box of delicately packaged pastries in a room. How could such a good pastry be placed in that corner, too weird, isn't it? So I asked the emperor to show it to me, and I also wanted to try the taste. But the emperor's reaction was very wrong. Saying this, Shi Bin deliberately stopped.
"Tell me, what's wrong with the emperor." Jia Ling and Sai Xishi asked in unison. Just as Shi Bin happily diverted the attention of the two, they said again: "Don't try to fool us, after saying that, the emperor has to explain to us why you eat alone." ”
"Okay." Shi Bin looked at the two shrewd wives very
Reluctantly continued, "The Emperor seems to be very nervous that I will open the box. But when I opened the box, there were only four pastries inside. I ate one piece at the beginning, and I blame myself for being greedy for eating one more. In this way, I eat two pieces for myself and leave one for the emperor, and the result is only one piece? Things were embarrassing, so I had no choice but to keep silent. ”
Although Shi Bin's words must be some false, they can be regarded as 'confessions', and Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were not so stingy as to quarrel with Shi Bin over a piece of pastry, so they just glared at him fiercely. and warned Shi Bin not to eat alone in the future.
Naturally, this request had to be granted, and in order not to get into trouble over such trivial matters, Shi Bin continued to emphasize that Rizong's reaction when he found the food box and wanted to eat the pastry inside was very wrong.
"If you notice something is wrong, why don't you bring back the whole food box? Let's try it out! Even if you don't have one piece per person, half a piece per person is not bad! ”
"Xiaoling, this is a little inappropriate. I ate half of what others had offered to the emperor, and I even had to take a box away, which was easy to criticize. Shi Bin said, "But there is one thing that is very suspicious, I once wanted the food box to bring back the pastries for you to taste, but the emperor said that he liked the food box and refused to let me take it, but the food box was really not very beautiful." Since it's inconvenient to bring, why don't I just eat more by myself? ”
Like the food box dead or alive and refused to let Shi Bin take it away? This is very suspicious indeed. As an emperor, I haven't seen anything beautiful, why should I like a mediocre food box?
"If things are abnormal, there must be demons, and there must be ghosts in the food box!" Jia Ling said with great certainty.
"Probably so." Shi Bin praised and said, "The problem is that I have already come out, is it possible to go back and open the food box again?" ”
"Of course you can't do that, it will startle the snake." Jia Ling immediately denied, "Just send someone to contact the little eunuch beside the emperor and ask him how the emperor handled the food box." ”
This is indeed a good way, Shi Bin immediately gave this order. It didn't take long for the news from the palace to confirm Shi Bin's suspicions, because after Shi Bin left, the emperor dismantled the food box and threw it away.
On the one hand, he said that he liked the food box and refused to give it to Shi Bin, and on the other hand, he immediately dismantled it and threw it away after Shi Bin left, all of which can be sure that Li Zong has a ghost in his heart, and most of them are not good for Shi Bin. So Shi Bin once again ordered the people in the palace to carefully observe Li Zong, especially the various things sent in by the courtiers outside the palace.
I thought that Li Zong would be in peace for a few days, but I didn't expect to become more and more restless, and within half a month, I received five pastries and snacks from my courtiers. And those courtiers have two things in common: first, they are not on good terms with Shi Bin, and second, they never send things to Li Zong on weekdays.
"Yes, yes, it looks like something is going to happen!" Shi Bin sneered after hearing Xu Feng's report.
"Don't worry, adults, since you have mastered these situations, you are not afraid of them tossing around, and it is not good to hurt yourself when you are angry."
"Don't worry, Xu Feng, I won't hurt myself because of those wastes. The tiger is not threatening, I am a sick cat! Go and invite the two ladies to discuss what to do, whether to catch a show or come to a pot. ”
"Understood!"
Soon Jia Ling and Sai Xishi came over, and Jia Ling spoke first: "The emperor wants to deal with us?" ”
Nine times out of ten. Those guys who boasted of being high and would never pat the emperor's ass have been sending things to the emperor one after another for the past few days. How could there be no conspiracy at such an abnormality? Shi Bin sneered, "It's a pity that it's too stupid to use such a conspicuous and flawed method." Isn't that a reminder for me to be careful? It's stupid! ”
"It's really stupid, but husband, let's be careful, after all, be careful to sail a ship for ten thousand years. asked the people in the palace to take a closer look at what the emperor had come up with. Sai Xi Shi reminded.
"It's better for me to go in person, I'll go to the palace this afternoon, hoping to catch him off guard."
Understand this kind of thing
It would be better for Qing Shibin to go in person, now that the guards in the palace are all his men anyway, there will be no danger for him to go in, and it is indeed possible to kill Li Zong by surprise or even have an unexpected gain. Therefore, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi did not stop but supported them very much, but only told Shi Bin to refrain from revealing his stuffing even if he found clues, and not to startle the snake.
How could Shi Bin, who had been fighting for many years, not know this, and hurriedly entered the palace after agreeing a few words casually.
Since he wanted to catch Li Zong off guard, he definitely couldn't let Li Zong find out in advance, so Shi Bin entered the palace and ordered the palace guards not to report, and he went in by himself.
Quietly walked to the door of Li Zong's study, but he didn't find anything unusual about Li Zong, he was just 'reviewing' some of the official documents sent by Shi Bin. Saying that it is 'reviewing' is actually to write the word 'quasi' according to the jade seal.
Because of the information sent by his previous subordinates, Shi Bin didn't believe everything in front of him, but just secretly stood outside the imperial study and quietly observed.
It's just that Shi Bin is not a person who is not very good at observing details, and his legs are sore when he stands outside the imperial dining room, but he still doesn't see anything wrong with Li Zong. Eventually, one accidentally made some noise, which caught the attention of Rizumi. Following the sound, Li Zong found that it was Shi Bin standing there, which made a trace of panic flash in his eyes, and it happened that this panic was caught by Shi Bin.
"Chen Shibin, meet the emperor." Shi Bin immediately saluted.
"Shi Aiqing is exempt, why did Shi Aiqing come here at this time?"
"Actually, it's nothing, the minister's two wives heard that the food box left by the emperor is very beautiful, and they also want to see it, I don't know if they have this eye blessing. Then I heard that the emperor recently sent pastries from several officials, and Weichen wanted to come and see it, and he also wanted to taste it, but he didn't know if there was such a blessing. ”
These words made Rizuma's heart very uneasy, and his face showed some of it. But for many years, the emperor was still able to deal with these things calmly, and said: "Shi Aiqing, the food box was accidentally damaged by me and has been thrown away, and it is a pity that your two ladies do not have this blessing." But as compensation, I will reward each of them with a box of pastries, and you can accompany me to eat two pieces. ”
Li Zong's reaction made Shi Bin a little disappointed, and his performance was not too obviously flawed, making it difficult for Shi Bin to catch the handle. But Shi Bin was unwilling to run in vain, so he simply put down his official duties and chatted with Li Zong in the imperial study.
The more he talked about Shi Bin, the more he felt that something was wrong, and it didn't take long for Li Zong to sweat profusely. It's almost winter, how can it be sweating profusely while chatting?
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with your body? Is it too empty to make up? It's not good to sweat just two words. Shi Bin deliberately pointed it out.
"Recently, I may have been spoiled with too many concubines, and my body is a little weak, so I'm afraid I have to make up for it. Thank you Shi Aiqing for your concern. In order not to arouse Shi Bin's suspicions, Li Zong had no choice but to pour dirty water on himself and describe himself as an emperor who was extravagant and lascivious.
Shi Bin naturally didn't believe this nonsense, but he couldn't find obvious flaws, which made him a little resentful. In order to find the answer, Shi Bin had to continue to sit down and chat with Li Zong. It's just half an hour later, Li Zong issued an expulsion order, asking Shi Bin to go back to his official business and not interfere with his review of the recital.
Lai couldn't find an answer in the imperial study, and now he was expelled by the emperor, Shi Bin couldn't hold it on his face and had to leave in frustration.
It's just that as soon as I went out, I heard the voice of Rishu coming from the study, which was obviously caused by pain. Feeling that Li Zong's scream was to find out the clues of his conspiracy, Shi Bin rushed back to the imperial study without hesitation. I saw that Rizune was holding his right index finger and blowing. And the index finger was already wrapped in a disinfectant cloth. Now the cloth has turned red, and it can be seen that the wound has broken and bleeding.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with your hand?"
"Shi Aiqing don't have to worry, this is because I was accidentally cut by a spike when I was playing with flowers and plants a few days ago."
This reason makes sense, because this wound did appear a few days ago, and Shi Bin will no longer delve into it, but he still keeps this matter in his heart.
