Chapter 82: Into the Secret Room
After a few days, Zuo Qiu Xuhe personally sent her back to the capital of Rongjiang State, Zhaocheng, and then he left that day, after all, he still had state affairs to deal with, and in order to save her, many state affairs had been delayed, and he had to go back to deal with them.
Zhong Lijing knew that she was back, he immediately sent someone to invite her into the palace, he hadn't seen her for five months, and the longing in his heart was especially great because she was back.
Ye Xi entered the palace according to her words, because she happened to have something to say to him. She doesn't want to live in the princess's mansion, and hopes that the little emperor can give the prime minister's mansion to herself, and the princess's mansion will be returned to him!
After Ye Xi entered the palace in a carriage, she came to the imperial study to meet the little emperor.
Ye Xi asked, "Is the little emperor here?" I'll take care of it. She smiled faintly, but her gaze was cold.
The little emperor heard her voice inside and immediately ran out, "You've arrived, come in!" ”
Ye Xi said again, "Little Emperor, you should call me Auntie, don't let you go again." Ye Xi seized the opportunity and taught him a few words.
Zhong Lijing shook his head, "I really can't shout that title, otherwise, I'll call you sister, besides, you're still so young, call you aunt, don't you call you old, you say yes!" ”
Ye Xi felt that he was a pair, so he nodded, "Okay then!" Just call me sister! Calling me aunt does call me old. ”
She asked, "Your Majesty, the courtiers want to ask you for something." ”
The little emperor asked, "What, you say, I will definitely do it!" ”
Ye Xi smiled gently at him, "Your Majesty, I want to beg you to give me the Prime Minister's Mansion, and as for the Princess's Mansion, the mansion will be returned to the Emperor!" How, you see? ”
Zhong Lijing smiled purely, "What should I do?" Isn't it just a mansion? It is given to you, as for the princess's mansion, since it was given to you, it is yours, and it is up to you to do with what you want. He said generously.
Zhong Lijing understood that the Prime Minister's Mansion had memories of her and the Prime Minister, so she begged herself to give her the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Ye Xi thanked him slightly, "Thank you!" ”
Ye Xi said, "Since Your Majesty has nothing to do, the courtiers will leave first and will not disturb Your Majesty's handling of government affairs." ”
Zhong Lijing watched her marry someone else, but he couldn't do anything, what did he want to do now? No one dared to stop it. The only thing he wants now is the woman in front of him, but she has no love for him at all, and he can only sigh when he thinks of this.
Zhong Lijing glanced up, asked for her opinion and asked, "Sister, you just came back, I haven't seen you for a long time, can you accompany me for a meal?" I'm alone every time I eat, so I want you to eat with me. Ye Xi thought for a moment and nodded.
Seeing that she agreed, Zhongli shouted happily, "Someone! Pass the meal! ”
Ye Xi saw him so happy, she rarely had a little more sincere smile, and soon, the palace people put the food on the table.
Zhong Lijing and Ye Xi sat at the table, Zhong Lijing kept putting vegetables on her, Ye Xi stopped, "Enough is enough, don't clip it, the emperor." Your Majesty, I will clip it myself, so you can leave me alone. ”
Zhong Lijing stopped as he said, and he muttered in his heart, how good it would be if he could do this every day.
After the two finished dinner, Ye Xi was about to go back, and Zhong Lijing sent someone to send her out of the palace.
After Ye Xi returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he returned to his Jade Warm Pavilion.
She went to Jiang Wei's room, saw him get up, and sat in the gazebo outside the room to rest, she smiled warmly at him, "How do you feel today?" ”
Jiang Wei knelt down for Ye Xi, "My subordinates, thank you for Miss for saving your life, Miss has any orders in the future, Jiang Wei is willing to smear Miss's liver and brain, and never give up!" ”
Jiang Wei knew how heavy his injuries were, and he was stabbed several times on his back and arms, but they were not the most fatal, the fatal wound was the one in the abdomen, because the wound was too deep, after he fainted at that time, he thought that he would not survive, but he was cured by the young lady's superb medical book.
Ye Xi had an expression that he couldn't do anything, "Okay, get up!" Didn't I say, don't kneel around, it's troublesome. She helped him to his feet and grumbled.
Jiang Wei sat next to her, "Miss, before the prime minister died, he explained one thing to his subordinates. ”
Ye Xi asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Jiang Wei glanced around, "This is not the place to talk, please ask the young lady to go to the prime minister's study with her subordinates." ”
So the two came to the prime minister's study together, and Jiang Wei closed the door.
Jiang Wei whispered in a low voice, "Miss, come with me!" ”
So Jiang Wei walked in front and came to Ye Yi's desk, and he said, "Miss, the prime minister hid things in the secret room. ”
So he squatted down, removed the chair next to him, and removed the carpet laid on the ground, only to see that there was a hole in the corner of the square plank, if he didn't pay attention, he couldn't see it at all, and even if he did, it was only because the board itself was missing.
Jiang Wei walked to the bookshelf and took down a book on the shelf, the name of the book was "Bian Que Neijing". Jiang Wei opened the book and smiled, "Miss, the prime minister was afraid that you wouldn't be able to find it before his death, so he deliberately put the key to open the secret room in the medical book, he guessed that with Miss's love for medical skills, he would definitely be able to find it." ”
Ye Xi heard him mention his brother, she was full of loss and pain, Jiang Wei saw that she heard the prime minister, her expression was very sad, he changed the topic, "Miss, don't you think it's strange, since the prime minister put the key in the medical book, why do you have to tell me."
In fact, the prime minister is afraid that I will follow him to save Miss, if he dies like that, then no one knows the whereabouts of the key, so there is no need for Miss to know what is hidden in the secret room.
But the prime minister didn't expect that Miss's medical skills were so good that she could revive a person who was on the verge of death, or maybe the providence was like this, and the mission that the prime minister didn't complete had to be completed by Miss! His sighing expression, the belly of his heart, maybe there is a providence in the dark, Miss is the one who can restore the country, the one who will unify the world!
Ye Xi didn't expect that his brother would die, and he would think about himself again, not wanting to let himself bear that heavy responsibility, he knew that if he went this time, there would be no return, including Jiang Wei, who had to die in the enemy's land, but he didn't expect that he would save the half-dead Jiang Wei, as Jiang Wei said, all this may be providence.
On the other hand, my brother hoped that I could find the key, and when he put it in the medical book, he could guess that he thought that if he had time, he would definitely run to his study and come to find the medical book to read, and then he might accidentally find the key. Of course, if he hadn't set foot in his study, then the key would probably have to be kept here all the time, and no one would know.
Jiang Wei opened the medical book and saw that in the middle of the medical book, there was a hole for a key, and a gold and bronze key was placed in the hole.
Jiang Wei was about to take the key, but Ye Xi stopped, "Slow! Poisonous! ”
Jiang Wei immediately stopped and looked at her in astonishment, "Miss, what?" Poison. Ye Xi nodded.
Ye Xi understood that his brother should be afraid that someone with a heart would know that this key could open his secret room, so he smeared poison on it.
Ye Xi whispered, "Jiang Wei, put the things on the table, I'll check it out and see what kind of poison it is?" ”
Jiang Wei Yiyan put the book on the table, Ye Xi sat on the table, lowered his head and sniffed, took out his handkerchief, and took off the key through the handkerchief.
She said to Jiang Wei, "Jiang Wei, go get a bowl, remember, the bowl is full of white water." She put the key on the table.
Jiang Wei went to get a bowl and came back, Ye Xi put the key in the bowl, only to see the key enter the water, and the water immediately turned black.
Jiang Wei was frightened when he saw it, if Miss hadn't stopped him just now, he would have been poisoned.
Ye Xi gently sniffed the poisonous water in the bowl, and she asserted, "This poison is called scorpion ant venom, which is refined from the tail poison of scorpions and blood ants, so if you get close to him, you can smell a faint smell of blood, because blood ants suck human blood and animal blood to survive." ”
Jiang Wei heard her explanation, took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a faint smell of blood, if you didn't smell it carefully, you would definitely not be able to smell it.
Ye Xi looked at him, "You wait here, I'll go get the antidote." ”
Ye Xi likes to study poison, make poison, detoxify, and study the most commonly used poisons, that is, poisonous snakes, poisonous scorpions, toads, spiders, centipedes, these five poisons are the most commonly used to ****, if it is combined with other highly toxic medicinal materials, or poisonous animals, then it can be made highly toxic.
Ye Xi told a few words, "Don't touch it, if this poison is stained, it will die suddenly in less than half a moment!" ”
Jiang Wei nodded and stretched out his hands, indicating that I would never touch it without your order, Miss.
After a while, Ye Xi returned to the study, closed the door, and Jiang Wei brought the wax cup closer so that she could see more clearly.
Ye Xi poured some antidote into the bowl, and after a few seconds, the water immediately became clear and transparent, and the key in the water in the bowl could be seen clearly.
Jiang Wei's face was full of admiration, and he looked at her with admiration, "Miss, the poison is gone!" Ye Xi was so pleased to see him, she nodded, signaling that he could pick it up and look at it.
Jiang Wei picked up the key from the bowl, came to the chair, and inserted the thin key into the tiny hole, only to hear a knocking sound, and the wall behind the desk cracked in half, forming a door.
Ye Xi didn't expect that this wall painted with landscapes and landscapes was actually a secret room behind it. She went to her brother's study, and when she saw this wall and that landscape painting, she liked it very much, and she couldn't wait to tear down the wall and take it back to her room to build it.
Jiang Wei took the wax cup casually, he went in first, and said, "Miss, be careful, there is a mechanism!" Wait a while and follow in the footsteps of your subordinates. Ye Xi nodded.
The two walked down the stone stairs one by one and walked into the secret room.
The passage of the secret room was pitch black and silent. If it weren't for the candle in Jiang Wei's hand, it is estimated that he would not have seen or heard anything. At this time, after they came down, they only heard the footsteps of her and Jiang Wei, and the candles were burning, and with the yin wind from the dark passage, the candles were blown and shaken, and only the sound of the cold wind whispering softly was heard.
Until he came to a stone door, Jiang Wei held a lamp in his left hand, and pressed a protruding sharp stone on the wall with his right hand to press it hard, and the stone door opened with a loud bang.
Ye Xi looked at this room the size of two study rooms, with a lot of boxes in it, as well as the shelves of the bookshelves, and many precious antiques on the shelves.
Ye Xi guessed that there would be no gold and silver treasures in this box!
When she opened it, as she thought, she was ecstatic, "Jiang Wei, these boxes won't be all money!" Jiang Wei nodded.
Ye Xi's eyes lit up and asked, "I'm rich, but how can my brother have so much money?" ”
Jiang Wei saw the look of the young lady in front of him who was fascinated by money, and smiled helplessly, "Miss, although the prime minister doesn't have much, but it is enough for the upper and lower levels of the house, as for all the money and things, they are all earned by the prime minister in secret, large and small shops." ”
When she heard about the shops, large and small, it meant that her brother was secretly running a lot of private properties.
She asked curiously, "How much property does my brother have?" She was purely curious, and she usually didn't wear much money when he wore clothes, but he had so many properties, so she was curious.
Jiang Wei thought about it, he didn't have any idea, he walked under the nearby bookshelf, picked up a large stack of books, and put them on the table.
Jiang Wei patted the ash on it and said with a smile, "Miss, these are the account books of the shop under the prime minister's hand, you can take a look at it yourself!" ”
Ye Xi swallowed his saliva, his eyes full of shock, "There are so many account books, when do I want to see it?" ”
Ye Xi is in modern times, although she doesn't know how to do business, but she still learned some from her father's ears, but she has seen so many for the first time. She looked at the stack of ledgers, and she wanted to faint.
Jiang Wei said helplessly, "Miss, there's no way to do this, I can't understand this, so I can only watch it Miss." ”
Ye Xi understood, "Hmm! I know, you go out first! I'll take my time to see for myself. ”
Jiang Wei said, "Wait, there's more." ”
Ye Xi complained, "Also, what else? She asked, surprised.
Jiang Wei saw her young lady's frightened expression, and smiled kindly and gently, "Miss, don't worry, this time it's not an account book, it's a picture." ”
Ye Xi saw him walk to the wall, took away a calligraphy and painting, and then opened an obvious dark grid on the wall, and took out a picture made of cowhide.
He handed it to Ye Xi, who asked, "What is this diagram?" ”
Jiang Wei replied, "Miss, this is the treasure map of Dongxing Kingdom!" ”
Jiang Wei continued, "Miss, the prime minister said before, be sure to hand this map into your hands and find out the location of the treasure, maybe the location of the treasure will have the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country!"
The prime minister explained to his subordinates, if the subordinates told the young lady alive, then please ask the young lady to find the jade seal of the country and give an explanation to the ancestors of Dongxingguo, as for whether to return to the country, it depends on the young lady's own plans. ”
Ye Xi nodded, "I know, don't worry, I will definitely find the location of the treasure and the heirloom jade seal, and give my brother an explanation." As for the restoration of the country, I don't want to do that thing, I just want to find Chengguo for revenge, completely destroy Chengguo, and kill Shen Yunche! Jiang Wei understood, and then he left the secret room.
