075, the world's poisoner
Sent away the spies, Zhiying sat down and thought carefully for a long time, according to the memory of her previous life, she had never heard of any capable people in the barren land of Yanzhou, but it was impossible for a big living person to appear out of thin air, according to the description of the spy, the Taoist priest who told the fortune should be less than thirty years old, Zhiying drew all the characters she had an impression of, and finally didn't come up with a clue.
Xiaoqiu fanned her and asked in a low voice, "Madam, do you want to ask the prince directly?" ”
With a contemplative expression, Zhiying shook his head and said, "No, if the prince is willing to say it, he will say it early in the morning, if he is unwilling, I will ask, but it will make him unhappy, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”
Xiaoqiu tilted her head and thought about it before saying, "Then bring that person back directly and ask?" ”
Zhiying sighed, and put his fingers against his temples with a headache: "I've thought about this too, but people don't provoke us on the surface, in case you don't move, it's not good to make a fuss at the city gate, or I will go to see him in person?" The key is that I don't know how the prince got acquainted with him, and why he is willing to listen to him in everything, but the person who can make the prince obey him in just three or five days is definitely a character, if he comes to harm the prince, I really don't know if my husband and I can fight him together. ”
The master was worried, and Xiaoqiu was also worried, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his head: "Hey, madam, why don't we go to the Taoist priest to tell the hexagram!" Whether it's good or bad, won't you know if you try it? ”
Fortune telling...... Zhiying thought about it carefully and felt that it was feasible, so she nodded: "Okay, let's go meet him for a while and let people prepare a sedan chair." ”
"Okay~" Xiaoqiu put down the fan and ran out in a hurry, and when she came back, she held Xiao Cui Xian, who had just eaten a meal, in her arms, and asked strangely: "What are you doing with Xian'er?" ”
Xiao Qiu proudly held Xiao Cui Xian and said, "Madam, don't you think that mothers are the most nervous children?" You hugged Miss and went with you, saying that it was for Miss Buji, wouldn't it be easier for the other party to suspect it? ”
Zhiying said funny: "We are going to deceive people, the disguise is too tight, isn't it meaningless?" ”
Xiaoqiu said sluggishly as if she had just remembered this stubble: "Yes...... That ......"
"It's okay to take Xian'er with you," Zhiying was reminded by her, but thought of another layer, "Come and help me recomb my hair and change into plain clothes." ”
After a cup of tea, the sedan chair of the palace came to the gate of the city, and Xiaoqiu whispered through the curtains: "Madam, the slave maid has seen the Taoist priest, hmm......"
She wanted to speak and stopped, which made Zhiying curious, lifted the curtain and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”
Xiao Qiu glanced at the fortune teller out of the corner of her eye, and her voice was lowered: "The slave and maid looked at that person...... It's like a woman. ”
"Female?" Zhiying almost shouted, "It's really fake, get off the sedan chair!" ”
The sedan chair driver got off the sedan chair on the side of the road, and Zhiying came out with Xiao Cui Xian in his arms, and when he looked up, he saw the white cloth banner under the city gate - "there is no last resort".
The Taoist priest sitting in the stall was dressed in an azure robe, wearing a fluttering scarf, a white face with thin eyebrows and beautiful eyes, quite handsome, plus the chin was shaved cleanly, it was no wonder that Xiaoqiu suspected that he was a woman.
In the past, there were also many Taoist divination tellers in the capital, most of whom were half-old men with goatees, and it was rare to see a young man like him.
The sedan chair man stood by on the spot, and he only led Xiaoqiu and walked straight towards the fortune telling stall.
The young Taoist priest sat cross-legged on the ground, neither shouting, nor greeting people when he saw them coming, so he had to wait for Zhiying to sit down on the small bench in front of the stall, and then lazily raised his eyelids and spit out a few words: "Poor Dao is only for people who are destined to tell fortunes, Mrs. should please be smart." ”
"You stinky Taoist priest doesn't know how to lift!" Xiaoqiu was about to speak, but Zhiying took the lead and scolded with a face, "Do you know who our young lady is?" Miss looks down on you and asks you to tell her a fortune, which is a blessing you have cultivated in your previous life! If the young lady is not happy, the prince will definitely ask someone to smash your stall! ”
Hearing the word "Wangye", the young Taoist priest's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth floated with a smile that seemed to be nothing, and he said calmly: "It turned out that the prince's daughter arrived, and it was disrespectful and disrespectful." Even so, there was no hint of respect in his tone.
The Taoist priest spread out his palm: "Please let Poor Dao see Miss's palmistry." ”
Zhiying didn't dare to risk handing her daughter into her hands, so she said: "Don't all masters know good luck by looking at their faces? The young lady is only one year old, where can I see what palmistry. ”
The Taoist priest smiled slightly, and his eyes seemed to see through everything: "Then please Miss throw a lot?" As he spoke, he handed over the sticker.
Xiao Cui Xian saw the new thing, and immediately became interested, the little fat hand stretched out, grabbed a stick, pulled it out, and threw it on the ground with a click, the Taoist priest picked it up and looked at it, sighed twice, and said: "Miss has a rich face, and she will not marry a wealthy family in the future, but this sign is ......."
"What's wrong with this sign?" Although he came to deceive people, most of his words were not accurate, but Zhiying still couldn't help but feel nervous.
"The eagle is in the hall, the sword is in the sheath, although there is a posture of riding the dragon to help the wind, but it is not allowed to be rich and noble, and in the end it is necessary to retreat," the Taoist priest held the slender skewer and smiled playfully, "In the middle of the lottery, fortunately it is a young lady, not a young master, otherwise he will be crowned a great treasure in the future, how should he deal with himself?" ”
Zhiying couldn't help lowering her eyes and pondering his words.
The Taoist priest said that Xiao Cui Xian has a rich appearance, but it is difficult to enjoy wealth, does it mean that her daughter's future situation will plummet? If Cui Yi becomes the emperor one day, Xiao Cui Xian will also be promoted to a princess, and she will not have to participate in the battle for the throne, so she will naturally not invite disasters, so what will be the reason for keeping her away from wealth?
Inexplicably, Zhiying thought of the word "harmony" and couldn't help but shudder.
More than a year ago, when the first emperor was still alive, he passed the proposal of Cui Jie, who was the crown prince at the time, to reduce military spending and stop the war, the national strength of Dachu is indeed not suitable for another war, but the Beidi people are greedy and cruel, how can they give Dachu a chance to recuperate, if you want to maintain peace, you can only negotiate peace, and negotiate peace - it is indispensable to cut land, pay tribute, and make peace!
Will Cui Yi also be willing to let his daughter go to the north to make peace? Like countless princesses in history, she left her hometown and went to a foreign land where she never returned, and endured the white eyes, bullying, and contempt of others alone...... Finally old and old?
"Ma'am?" The Taoist priest stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, "Madame is Miss's nurse?" ”
Zhiying returned to his senses in a trance, and said, "Yes, what?" ”
The Taoist priest shook his head: "Not much, it's just that the fate of a person's life is full of ups and downs, and it is often swayed by the people close to him. ”
The sticker was handed over again, Zhiying reached out to take it, Xiaoqiu hurriedly pulled her sleeve, and her eyes signaled her not to shake.
But at the moment, Zhiying is full of assumptions that her daughter will suffer misfortune in the future, even if there is a glimmer of hope, even if she can endure hardships on her behalf, she must be safe!
"Bang bang bang...... Click! ”
Holding the stick, Mu Ran watched the Taoist priest pick up the stick he thrown, glanced at it, and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhiying couldn't hold his breath anymore.
The Taoist priest flipped the stick over to show her, and Zhiying and Xiaoqiu exclaimed at the same time.
It turned out to be a blank stick! Not a word was written on it, it was smooth and slippery.
Xiaoqiu couldn't help but ask, "What does this mean?" How can I put the unfinished skewers in the tube! ”
The Taoist priest smiled: "No, no, no, this sign is deliberately left blank, forgive me for asking, where does Madame come from?" ”
Zhi Yingwu was in shock at throwing a blank stick, and replied without thinking: "From the capital." ”
"Where do you want to go?"
"I want to go to ......" Zhiying's eyes suddenly regained his clarity, "I want to go to the capital." Where does the gentleman come from? Where do you want to go? ”
The Taoist priest smiled and handed her the blank slip: "I came from heaven and will return to heaven one day, but before that, I still have unfulfilled wishes in the world." ”
As he spoke, the Taoist priest shook his shirt and stood up, and waved his hand at Zhiying: "Shanjian, the character, I have been waiting for Mrs. Changsun here for a long time!" ”
"You ——!" Zhiying was simply stunned, she had calculated everything, but she didn't calculate that this mysterious Taoist priest would be the strategist of the third prince Cui Huan, Shanjian! The design separated Bailizan and Cui Yi, provoked discord between their husband and wife, and helped Cui Jie plan a series of conspiracies such as the assassination of the palace and the miscarriage of the crown princess, and successfully drove Cui Yi out of the capital's drug strategist Shanjian!
In the previous life, he admired his name for a long time, but because of his identity, he had never met, and he only heard Cui Jie talk about him, all of which were praises, saying that the heart of the mountain charm was as fine as dust, and he was the best at speculating and manipulating people's hearts, and he was ruthless in his calculations, not bound by morality and etiquette, "this person can win the world".
Different from Bailizan's clever and clever schemes, the latter tries to exchange the smallest sacrifice for the greatest benefit, while the former is bold and ruthless, taking the road of hegemony in the world, and those who do not return will be crushed in the past.
If Cui Jie hadn't been in too much of a hurry to kill Cui Huan, Shan Jian might have continued to do things for him, and one day he would be a great minister, and he would be famous for eternity.
Thinking of this, Zhiying finally understood, and asked in a low voice: "Third prince, ...... he?"
The corners of Shan Jian's mouth hooked, and she smiled slightly with a lonely expression, but did not answer.
Whether in the past life or in this life, Zhiying and Cui Huan can't talk about any friendship, but they are also used by Cui Jie and then kill quickly, and it is inevitable that there will be some sadness at this moment, so he sighed and said: "Mr. has worked hard all the way." Xiaoqiu, go and ask someone to hire a sedan chair to take Mr. Shan back to his house. ”
Xiaoqiu took the order, Shan Jian put her hand in her sleeve, and asked, "Don't you take the things?" ”
"Since I want to go back with my wife, there will naturally be better ones waiting for me, and the previous things are naturally good to throw away." Shan Jian replied with a pun.
Zhiying noticed the jade pendant on his waist, which was very familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he had seen it on Cui Huan before, thinking that he and Cui Huan were only afraid that it was not such a simple relationship between the lord and the strategist, and he came to Yanzhou to defect to Cui Yi, mostly to avenge Cui Huan.
I just don't know how Cui Yi will call him when he comes back and sees him in the palace later.
