Chapter XXXV: Physical Evidence
"Huhu...... Ahem......"
What is this place in front of you? His head hurts so much, he gets dizzy.
When he first regained his senses, Gongyi's eyes were still blurry, but even after a while when his head stopped hurting, he still couldn't see his surroundings clearly, because he was in a dim place.
"Aunt Yan? Aunt Yan? Isolated and helpless, his hands and feet were also shackled, although he could move, but at the same time he was confined to an inch of land, in this case, the first thing that Gongyi Scarlet thought of was naturally Mrs. Yan.
He screamed a few times, but the only thing that responded to him was the "sonorous" collision between the chains on his hands and feet and the ground.
In the deathly silence, Gongyi sat with his knees crossed, the stone wall behind him was cold and hard, stabbing his bones painfully.
I don't know how long it was so silent, Gongyi Fei heard a strange sound from the far other end of the prison where he was imprisoned, and when the sound was near, he suddenly realized that it was the sound of being dragged to the ground.
"Go in!! Stay honestly with your master! With a glimmer of light shining through the moment the door of the prison was opened, Gongyi vaguely saw two people who looked like guards, dragging the other person directly in, and then, the glimmer of light was annihilated.
"Ah Fei, Ah Fei. Not...... Ahem, you're fine, you're fine. ”
The familiar voice was Mrs. Yan, calling his breast name in her mouth, and approached. In the dimness, Gongyi Fei felt a pair of hands, trembling and caressing his face. The hands were as rough as tree bark, as if a thick layer of calluses had grown in a day.
Here, Mrs. Yan felt a tingling pain in the cracks on her hands, as if she had touched something that should not be touched, and when she touched it carefully, it turned out that the tears falling from Gongyi's eyes had soaked into the wounds on her hands.
"Ah Fei Mo is crying, Aunt Yan is still here, isn't she? Besides, you're still the princess of the Han Kingdom, it's okay, it's okay......"
Gongyi listened to it, knowing that Mrs. Yan was punished in order to hide his identity, obviously she wanted to hold back her tears, but her eyes were not angry, he was really like a crying daughter's family, silent, beads were connected as a line, and couldn't stop falling into Mrs. Yan's hands one after another.
He really felt that he was useless, he couldn't share his worries for his father and brother, he even had to hide his identity, and right now, he couldn't even protect the people around him.
"Aunt Yan......" originally wanted to say something, but halfway through the words, when it came to her mouth, Gongyi Fei couldn't say anything anyway.
He noticed that Madame Goose was abnormal, why she kept moving close to him......
In the end, he finally cried uncontrollably.
On the other side, in the Fengju Pavilion of King Kang's Mansion, because of eating milk, Xuanyuan Qi vomited and diarrhea, and on the other hand, with Wang Xiaoliang's decoction, the poisonous gas had dissipated, and there was no big problem. It's just that people are still asleep.
Since people are safe, they should naturally make it clear to the emperor as soon as possible, so that Gongyi Fei and Mrs. Yan can get out of the prison as soon as possible.
This is Liu Chu's idea, he didn't think that this poison would be done by Gongyi Fei and Mrs. Yan, not to mention, he went to the Buddha porridge sutra feast to get poisoned, and An Zhi didn't someone poison the Buddha porridge?
Liu Chu thought about it, and was about to prepare to enter the palace, but was soon stopped by his son Liu Shi.
"Daddy, don't eat cow's milk today, almost half of your life is gone, you should take care of it here, and the rest of the chores and small things can be done when the time comes."
Liu Shi exerted a lot of force on Liu Chu's shoulder, and Liu Chu had no choice but to sit back on a couch at Xuanyuan Qi's feet.
It was he who was dizzy for a while, if he was not here, he rashly entered the palace, not to mention that the suspicious emperor refused to listen to him alone, if the palace was not taken care of, and the identity of Xuanyuan Qi's daughter was leaked for a while, the consequences were unimaginable......
Right now, if he wants to sit idly by and rely on Gongyi Fei and Mrs. Yan for Xuanyuan Qi's poisoning, and want the two of them to suffer innocently, or even be imprisoned forever, how can he bear it? !
However, Liu Shi was still just a child, and he had quietly sent someone to kill the nurse's family in the northern suburbs before, which had already made him worried and guilty, and now, such a matter related to the relationship between the palace and the two countries, can he do it well?
Here, Liu Shi put on a big coat with a circle of smoke-colored hair, and dragged Wang Xiaoliang away by the way, the two went out, but one came in at the same time, and the person entered the inner room generously, and lay on the mat not far from the couch with his right hand with his head on his head, and his free left hand hooked the sealing brocade ribbon on a light bamboo-colored purse with his index finger, and the purse swirled back and forth in his hand.
"It's me who disturbed me." Yu Qinglin glanced up at Liu Chu, stopped the purse that was shaking in his hand, and closed his eyes again, as if he was sleeping peacefully.
At the back door of King Kang's mansion, Wang Xiaoliang was grabbed by Liu Shi by the corner of his clothes, and his feet slipped on the ground.
He couldn't have imagined that Liu Shi, who usually looked sick, was so hidden, and such strength in his hands was not a kung fu that could be practiced in a day or two.
"Liu Shi, Liu Shi! Didn't you just say I was dangerous? You see, none of those imperial doctors cured the prince, but my little-known house doctor was cured with a few pairs of conditioning decoctions, this, how can this not be justified, right? ”
Although he didn't know where Liu Shi was going to take him, Wang Xiaoliang felt that it shouldn't be a good thing, he just wanted to be safe for a hundred years, so he struggled all the way to be dragged in.
"Huh? Sir, it's really strange, which ordinary doctor doesn't want to be praised as a 'miracle doctor'? Now that Mr. has healed the prince, I think that the emperor will definitely let you go to the Tai Hospital to serve, sir, this is a good blessing from cultivation. ”
Liu Shi turned his head and glanced at Wang Xiaoliang, who was facing away from him, but Wang Xiaoliang kept waving his hand at him.
"No, no, it's better to stay in the palace, by the way, where are you taking me?"
Stopping the useless struggle, the two had already quietly gone out the back door, from an alley, left to right, and finally the two completely blended into the lively crowd.
By noon, the entire West Street was filled with bustling crowds of people preparing for the evening lantern display.
The two were pushed by the crowd, hidden, and finally came to an alley adjacent to the Lingfeng Temple, through the hollow stone window on the low wall, Liu Shi noticed that a carriage from the palace stopped at the entrance of the Lingfeng Temple, from the carriage, down was an old monk, thinking that it should be the master of pure life.
The two of them cautiously walked back and forth in the alley, and the front and back doors of Lingfeng Temple were actually guarded by guards. But it's no wonder, after all, Xuanyuan Qi happened in the Lingfeng Temple.
"Huh! Liu Shi, you see that we can't get in, it's better to go back to the palace first, since the little prince is fine, Mrs. Yan and they will definitely be released back immediately. ”
Saying that, Wang Xiaoliang turned around, lowered his body, and was about to sneak back to King Kang's mansion, but before he could take a step, he was kicked on the back, and he was in pain for a while, and the whole person lay on the ground, and he couldn't get up for a while.
However, the reason why he couldn't get up was not because he was kicked by an unprovoked kick, but because someone was sitting on top of him.
"Sir, we still have something to trust here, don't be in a hurry to leave!"
Laughing, Wang Xiaoliang felt that the person on his back slapped his face with a touch of cold things, and then got up, and Liu Shi also helped him up from the ground.
Wang Xiaoliang shook the muddy water on his body, and saw the person who kicked him down just now, his hair was scattered, he was holding a gray burden in one hand, and he was holding a white fan in the other hand before he used it to slap him.
It turned out to be the young man who came to see the roe deer in the paddock during the last winter hunt, and he remembered his name, Xie Jin.
"Did you get it?" Liu Shi said, looking at both sides of the alley, except for the three of them, there was no one else.
Here, Xie Jin listened to Liu Shi's question, and there was a trace of smugness on his face, "Don't worry, I came from the back mountain, except for a little monk who was punished there, no one has seen me." ”
Liu Shi nodded, feeling that he couldn't stay here longer, so he pulled Wang Xiaoliang and Xie Jin away, and the three of them walked through a few staggered alleys and went straight to South Street.
Soon, the three of them came to the vicinity of a mansion, but when they were about to reach the back door, Xie Jin dragged the two people walking in front of him aside.
Xie Jin approached a bush, he pushed the grass away with both hands, and slapped a few stone bricks into it, and a gap appeared.
"What?! Want me to drill a dog hole?! No way!!! Wang Xiaoliang was reluctant and resisted again and again, but in the end, he was dragged and dragged into the courtyard by the two people who entered the courtyard.
Originally, he had just changed into a newly made cyan robe when he got up in the morning, but now under this toss, he was covered in muddy water, and he himself had created a gray face.
"Hurry up and !!"
Before he had time to start complaining, Xie Jin seemed to see something again, and hurriedly urged him and Liu Shi to trot all the way with him and enter the firewood room.
Panting, Liu Shi felt a burst of discomfort, even so, it was not a big deal, he seemed to know something, and after sitting down on a pile of firewood in the firewood room, he asked Xie Jin who was opening the burden with a smile.
"Is that her?"
"Yes."
The simple conversation made Wang Xiaoliang scratch his head, who? Male? Female?
However, while he was wondering, the person he was curious about came.
"Boom!" There was a knock on the door of the firewood room, if it weren't for Xie Jin directly locking the door, the person who smashed the door would have rushed in.
After knocking for a long time, Xie Jin and the three of them didn't dare to make a sound. Wang Xiaoliang wanted to ask carefully, but Xie Jin covered his mouth.
At this time, the person outside the door stopped his movements, and as soon as he spoke, his voice was so loud that Xie Jin couldn't cry or laugh.
"Brother Jin, this time you have brought back the jade cicada fruit that enjoys Yizhai again, open the door quickly, I can smell the sweet fragrance outside this door!" Quickly open the door!! ”
Listening to that voice, it was a twenty-eight girl, but somehow, she had a good voice, and she was better than a man in the prime of life. As soon as she shouted outside this door, she was afraid that the entire Xie Mansion would know.
"Sister Yu, I'm making lanterns here! In the evening, I will bring the jade cicada fruit and the lantern to the kitchen to find you, okay? ”
Across the door of the firewood room, Xie Jin stood up and said, looking like a mouse shrunk when he saw a cat, as if he was afraid of Sister Yu outside the door.
"Lanterns? Huh? Let me see! ”
Unexpectedly, Xie Jin originally thought that this casual panic would make Sister Yu obediently go back to the kitchen, but he didn't expect that she would directly punch in, pierce the window paper on the door of the firewood room, and look straight here with one eye!
"Oh, good Sister Yu, good Sister Yu, you go back to the kitchen to help first, and I'll show you when the lantern is ready!"
Xie Jin hurriedly covered the fan in his hand on the hole in the window paper, if this jade sister saw Liu Shi and Wang Xiaoliang, there would only be more trouble.
After some clever words, Xie Jin finally coaxed Sister Yu away, turned around, and felt exhausted.
"This is what I found in the Lingfeng Temple, and there are monks in the temple who saw that your prince did not use it up, so he left it for himself to enjoy, but he spit out a few mouthfuls in a row, saying that it was really unpalatable, so he threw this porridge down."
Xie Jin took out three crockpots from his baggage, he opened the first one on his left, and as he spoke, he pushed it to Wang Xiaoliang.
Wang Xiaoliang frowned, sniffed, stretched out a finger, dipped some porridge soup and put it in his mouth.
"Ahh It's so bitter! Even with so much sugar, it's still just as bitter! I don't know which fool fell into the poison, and he actually added the fruit to the porridge, so bitter, no wonder the prince didn't finish it. ”
Liu Shi listened, thoughtfully, opened the second crockpot again, and pushed it in front of Wang Xiaoliang.
This time he didn't smell it, Wang Xiaoliang took out the piece of glutinous pastry directly from the crockpot, tore it with both hands, and tasted it again.
"There is nothing else here except milk that the prince can't eat, no problem."
Xie Jin nodded, and pushed the third crockpot that had been opened in front of Wang Xiaoliang.
Wang Xiaoliang directly stretched out his finger and probed into the crockpot, groped for a long time, and found a few small red fruits.
"This poisoned person is inevitably too careless, and directly mixes the fruit into a pot of porridge, not afraid of poisoning other ministers to death?"
Wang Xiaoliang said, but he didn't notice Xie Jin's snickering expression.
"Who said that this is all porridge, and the residue of the pastry, this is the filth that the prince spit out......"
Xie Jin playfully unfolded the fan and blocked it in front of his mouth and nose, oops, the smell came out of the crockpot.
With a thunderous word, Wang Xiaoliang's whole person jumped up, "What are you talking about!! That is, you ...... Then you covered my mouth just now, have you washed your hands! ”
Looking at Wang Xiaoliang jumping up and down in front of him, spitting out all the time, Xie Jin gloated.
And Liu Shi, who was sitting on the side, was thinking for a long time, and as his frowning brows loosened little by little, he already knew that he had a plan for both.
