Chapter 3: The Landscape in the Painting (Part II)

Three.

When I arrived at the gate of the Taiyi Palace, the little eunuch uncharacteristically did not report, so he let me go in quietly. After I finished speaking in my heart, His Majesty must be very angry. I bent down and cautiously walked into the Taiyi Palace, and took a sneak peek, King Ping on the dragon chair had a rare angry face, and the national teacher was also present, still sitting in the shadow of the corner on King Ping's side, and I couldn't see any expression, on the other side of King Ping, sat the auxiliary king Yuwen Wang; There was a large area kneeling on the ground, Lord Li Shuangshi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Lord Fan Mengqiufan, the leader of the secret guard, Lord Wang Wanying, the commander of the Nine Gates, knelt in the front, and the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital knelt in the back, I was thinking about where I should kneel, and I pulled my clothes with both hands, and I knelt down with the force, only to find that Sun Yuji was kneeling beside me.

"Why are you pulling me?" I asked.

"You're crazy, Your Majesty is scolding, you're still standing there stupidly." Sun Yuji lowered his voice and scolded.

"Something happened, so many people were called." I whispered, too.

"Didn't you say that the princess was sick? It was caused by poisoning. "Sun Yuji and I played a game of whispering.

I was stunned, aren't they all secret guards protecting the princess on weekdays? The so-called secret guard,That's the thing that the founding monarch of the Chen Kingdom, King Chenxian, made out of a sense of security.,To put it bluntly, it's King Chen's personal bodyguard.,Martial arts are extremely high.,And once you enter the secret guard.,It's a secret guard for life.。 Becoming a dark guard means abandoning one's past and even one's name, so the secret guard has no name, and people are identified according to the order number. And there are only thirteen dark guards in total, and the number remains the same. For example, the dark guard I know, No. 5 is a master of swordsmanship, No. 7 Keju plays very well, and No. 12 is very handsome.

I looked at Fan Mengqiu, who was kneeling at the front, and said in my heart that it was no wonder that King Ping was so angry, because King Ping favored the princess and assigned three secret guards to protect the princess's safety at all times, but under the nose of the secret guards, the princess was poisoned.

"You didn't come just now, you missed the most exciting time," Sun Yuji whispered, "At the beginning, Your Majesty first scolded Lord Fan for saying that the secret guards were not effective, and then scolded Lord Wang, the Imperial Forest Army under the Admiral of the Nine Gates, all of them eat soft rice, and they can't even see a suspicious person, and they are tired of scolding, King Yuwen interjected and argued a few words for Lord Fan, you also know that Lord Fan is a protΓ©gΓ© of King Yuwen; Hey, Your Majesty was unhappy, and it was not good to turn his face directly with King Yuwen, so he poured his anger on the Tai Hospital, saying that it took so many days for the Tai Hospital to find out that it was poisoning, and that it was in vain to raise a group of Tai Doctors. After a pause, he began to scold Master Li again. ”

"This is obviously a matter of the harem, what is the matter with Lord Li?" I'm happy.

"Lord Li happened to enter the palace today to report to His Majesty about the Criminal Department, isn't this just in time? Your Majesty is like a dark weapon today, indiscriminately strafing, you know. As soon as Sun Yuji said this, I always felt that she was gloating.

I looked at Lord Li's back, and said in my heart that Lord Li was really pitiful, he was so busy in the Criminal Department every day that it was easy to enter the palace to report once, and he encountered such a big event.

"In this way, the Tai Hospital hurried back to dispense medicine, and Meng Qiu and Wan Ying both strengthened their search efforts in the palace, found some clues and handed them over to Lord Li. Yu Lan will come to me for a while, Your Majesty is also tired, so let's disperse today. The national teacher saw that King Ping was tired of scolding and stopped, and when he saw the situation, he gave everyone a step, and everyone naturally rolled down: "Yes." ”

Sun Yuji looked at me silently and asked, "How is your wife's illness?" ”

"You're embarrassed to say, are you teaming up with Chen Lixia to trap me?!" It's okay if she doesn't mention it, but when she mentions it, I'll get angry.

After retiring, I went to the Zijin Pavilion of the National Teacher with Sun Yuji, and I told Sun Yuji the ins and outs on the way. Sun Yuji listened quietly and was silent for a while: "Don't you know that Wu Mo and Chen Lixia are husband and wife?" ”

"What did you say?" Sun Yuji has always been able to tell some things that subvert my worldview in a serious way since he was a child, "You, you, you say it again? ”

"Wu Mo and Chen Lixia are husband and wife." Sun Yuji shrugged, "I met Chen Lixia when I was practicing medicine, I quietly told you that Chen Lixia wanted people's hearts to treat Wu Mo's illness, do you think Wu Mo's face has always been pale and pale?" ”

As soon as I thought about it, I felt that as soon as the wind blew, Wu Mo was about to fly into the sky.

"Wu Mo seems to have a bad heart at birth, when he was a child, a doctor said that he didn't know how many years he could live, Chen Lixia went through the ancestral medical books of the Chen family, and saw from the "Tortoiseshell Formula" that you can use the ancient method to use people's hearts as medicine, but Chen Lixia doesn't know martial arts, where can I find people's hearts? That's how he came up with it. Chen Lixia, I really love Wu Mo very much. ”

"Then he asked me to help him find Wu Mo, Wu Mo must be missing." I said.

"I don't know, but I really didn't expect him to threaten you with a hollyhock." Sun Yuji's face was full of apologies, and the anger in my heart was slightly eased.

"He's a man in the rivers and lakes, what can't he do?" As he spoke, he had arrived at the Zijin Pavilion, and I walked in with Sun Yuji, and the national teacher squatted on the edge of the honeysuckle and turned over the soil. Although it's not the first time I've seen the national teacher fiddling with honeysuckle, the dignified national teacher, dressed in a fairy spirit, is turning the soil with a small shovel, and I always feel very happy.

"Yuji went in and helped me boil the medicine." The national teacher didn't raise his head, Sun Yuji answered, shrugged at me and walked in. The national teacher patted the soil on his hand and stood up, and said, "Is Madame well from her illness?" ”

"Nope." I picked the main thing and told the national teacher about it, and the national teacher listened to it while smiling, and listened to me finish with righteous indignation, and said: ""A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", it is indeed a good drawing, Wu Mo is also a talent, you can ask Master Li for help in finding someone... But when I hear it now, I hear something wrong, and I don't know if you want to understand it. ”

I heard the national teacher say this, and carefully thought about the ins and outs, Chen Lixia asked me to find Wu Mo, why did Wu Mo disappear? Why did Chen Lixia ask me to get back "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains"? What does "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" have to do with Wu Mo's disappearance? Why did Chen Lixia say that if he couldn't get this picture back, Wu Mo would die?

"Wu Mo has something to do with Princess Xiaoxiang's poisoning?" I came to this conclusion and was taken aback myself.

"Eighty percent of the time." The national teacher smiled, "Now it doesn't matter where the "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is, what matters is why the princess was poisoned, what poison was poisoned, and who poisoned it." I think you're so smart that you should understand what I'm talking about and what to do next. ”

The fragrance of medicine wafted from the house, and the national teacher said to the house: "Yuji, come out when the medicine is boiled." ”

Sun Yuji came out in response, and the national teacher said, "You and Yulan should go." "But the medicine is only boiled." Sun Yuji said. The national teacher waved his hand: "I'll drink it myself when it's boiled, you can go with Yulan first." Sun Yuji looked confused, I probably understood the meaning of the national teacher in my heart, saluted the national teacher, pulled Sun Yuji and left.

Sun Yuji was pulled by me on the one hand, and turned back to the national teacher and said: "National teacher, stay up for an hour and a half, an hour and a half-"

The national teacher waved his hand: "Go ahead." ”

Sun Yuji said as he walked: "What to do, go so fast, where to go?" ”

"Go to the study."

"Go to the study? You are not a teacher, nor a reading companion, nor a eunuch who waits, but you can also enter the study? ”

"Have you ever heard of the saying that money is everything?"

"No, what are you doing in the study?"

Facing Sun Yuji, who was full of doubts, I showed a mysterious smile: "Look at the painting." ”

Four.

I spent some baht (the most common currency in the Chen Kingdom) to the little eunuch who was waiting in the study, and asked him to fetch me some water, and I went in with Sun Yuji. The layout of the study room is similar to the pattern when I was a companion, not much has changed, in the main hall, one of the wooden tables is the "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" that Chen Lixia has in mind.

Sun Yuji looked left and right and didn't see anything famous, and asked me, "What do you see it doing?" And why did you just let the little eunuch fetch water? Are you going to wash your face in the upper study? ”

This reminds me of when I was a child, every time my husband asked me a question and I couldn't answer it, Sun Yuji always looked proud, arrogant like a peacock, raised his chin, and told me with his eyes: Please, let me tell you!

This time it was my turn to be proud, cleared my throat, and said: "As far as I know, in the past six months, the study room has been a special place for Princess Xiaoxiang to study, and half a month ago, Mr. Lin of the Hanlin Academy took leave and did not give lessons to the princess, so the princess applied for self-study for half a month. And I also know that the princess liked this painting very much, and would sit in the main hall every day and paint and study. ”

Sun Yuji frowned: "So what? ”

"A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is Wu Mo's masterpiece, and Wu Mo is Chen Lixia's wife, you said that they are very affectionate. And Princess Xiaoxiang happens to like this painting very much, and often observes it under the painting. Later, the princess was poisoned, and it just so happened that Wu Mo disappeared, and Chen Lixia asked me to get the painting back. I said, "Who can escape the defense of the Royal Forest, enter the palace, and poison Princess Xiaoxiang under the nose of the secret guard?" This is simply not possible. It is impossible for people, but it is possible to paint. ”

"You say this painting is poisonous?" Sun Yuji immediately took two steps back.

"It was just my guess, so I asked people to fetch water." As he was talking, the little eunuch came back, took a basin of water, I waved his hand to let him retreat, took out a handkerchief from his body, dipped it in water, and wiped it on the corner of the painting, my action immediately aroused Sun Yuji's objection: "Such a precious painting, you don't want to die?" ”

The handkerchief was stained with cinnabar red, and I handed the handkerchief to Sun Yuji: "Doctor Sun, don't you doctors use any silver needle to test poison?" ”

Sun Yuji rolled his eyes: "Cinnabar is inherently poisonous, even if there is no other poison in it, it will change color with silver needles." This kind of dual-toxic mixed thing, we have a special person in the hospital to judge, I won't, but you can take it to the hospital. ”

I threw my handkerchief into the basin: "Then hurry up, the sooner this matter is resolved, the better." ”

Sun Yuji and I rushed to the hospital non-stop, and while waiting for the results to come out, Sun Yuji asked me, "Are you really sure that it is Wu Mo's painting?" I know Wu Mo, and I don't believe she will harm Princess Xiaoxiang. ”

"There's really no motive." I shrugged, "But if it is really found out that it is a painting problem, it is difficult to frame, after all, the painting was painted by Wu Mo, who else can draw such a painting except her?" ”

"What if Sakul is behind it?" Sun Yuji asked cautiously.

I was stunned.

I don't know exactly what kind of organization Sakul is. I only know that this is the scourge left by the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms.

Speaking of the Three Kingdoms Rebellion, I don't know how many people's nightmares it was.

During the reign of the first king, the Wu Kingdom, the Wei Kingdom and the Youguo Kingdom of the Twelve Kingdoms all rebelled and rebelled due to different reasons, and the southwest land was suddenly in chaos, and several countries with the desire to compete for hegemony, such as the Si Kingdom, which we call the fighting nation, also went to mix, causing a great disaster.

Wei Guo and the southwest of the Chen country border, Wei Ling King asked the first king to send troops to support, at that time the eastern disaster, the harvest of the Chen country is not good, the then prime minister of my father on the letter, send troops can be, but to take food in exchange, and, to send protons.

So King Weiling sent his five-year-old son, Wuyang Hou Ying Zhongqing.

The rebellion of Weiguo began with a relative, the Chen ** team drove to Weiguo, and after half a month, Ying Zhongqing's uncle assassinated the king of Weiling and became the monarch of Weiguo.

The remnants of the Weiling Dynasty and their descendants ran to the Kingdom of Chen after the Rebellion of the Three Kingdoms and formed an organization called Sakule, which means Dakokuten in the Weiguo dialect. They planned to support Ying Zhongqing to kill him when the time was ripe.

But not long after the death of the first king, King Ping succeeded to the throne, in the years when I was born, the harvest of Chenguo was not good, Chenguo did not have the energy to fight, and it was not good to raise these people, besides, the internal affairs of their own country, why should we get involved? Moreover, we have sacrificed so many people for Weiguo, but Weiguo has never fulfilled the promise made to us, Ying Zhongqing naturally we will not let go. So my dad went to the book proton can't be put down, and at the same time except Sakule.

Later, Sakul has been making small moves all over the Chen Kingdom, until the assassination of the left general Zheng Ling, and we find that this has become a problem that cannot be ignored.

And I've always suspected that Sakul was the one who killed my father.

I wandered for a while, thinking of my father, and suddenly felt a dry throat and mouth.

"Sakule." I was stunned and said, "I will never, I will never forgive Weiguo for breaking the contract, I will not forgive Sakul for his actions in Chenguo, if it is really Sakule's ghost, sooner or later, I will crush them to ashes." ”
