Chapter 66: Straw Man
Tang Xu thought that Wang Fang might really have the heart to help the palace maid named Xiuxiu escape, but he didn't expect that Xiuxiu not only looked healthy, but also always frowned at Wang Fang. www.biquge.info Although Wang Fang looked a little embarrassed, it didn't stop her from getting close to her unnecessary.
"You guys..." Tang Xu thought about it, even if Wang Fang was really favoritism, it was nothing, as long as he really wanted to be with the other party.
"Teacher, I don't dare to hide my teacher until now, Xiuxiu and I really love each other, and I ask the teacher to be fulfilled!" Wang Fang took Xiuxiu to kneel down for Tang Xu, Tang Xu hurriedly asked the two to get up, but Wang Fang pulled Xiuxiu and said that Tang Xu would not get up if he didn't agree.
"Okay, I promise." The palace is heavily guarded, although this is a remote place, but in the end it is not as inhabited as the place where Xiaocui lived, and a long delay will inevitably attract other people. Wang Fang was overjoyed, and kowtowed to Tang Xu five or six times in a row before standing up with Xiuxiu.
"What are you going to do?" Tang Xu asked Wang Fang, Wang Fang didn't have any special methods, just thinking that he was proud in the Imperial Medical Hall now, and it should be very simple to get people out of the palace, and those old men were also secretly doing their own things, and they didn't dare to expose themselves.
"You're thinking too simply, even if those old imperial doctors want to make small calculations, they haven't done enough tricks?" Tang Xu regretted a little that he agreed to help him, he was not afraid of a god-like opponent but a pig-like teammate, Wang Fang's arrogant virtue would cause trouble sooner or later.
"What the teacher teaches is to ask the teacher for guidance." Wang Fang can bear it now, compared to making a mistake and being a grandson, it is nothing to be Tang Xu's grandson.
"Don't worry, wait for me to check first." Tang Xu said, take a look here and there in the place where Xiuxiu lives. He walked into a room, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that although it was deserted, there was no sense of dilapidation at all, and there was still some fresh fruit on the table in the outhouse just now, and it seemed that she had not suffered much exclusion and trouble in the palace. Really just want to fly with Wang Fang? Tang Xu didn't look down on Wang Fang, but seriously speaking, he wasn't a handsome and upright guy. But I don't think it's good to say this kind of thing.
Tang Xu was thinking nonsense here, and Wang Fang came over to call him. He was about to answer when he suddenly spotted something in the corner of a large wooden cabinet. Intuition told him that this was something unusual, Tang Xu didn't dare to get too close for fear of attracting the attention of Wang Fang and Xiuxiu, so he took a few steps back and went somewhere else.
"Miss Xiuxiu doesn't come here on weekdays?" Tang Xu was referring to the room where he was standing, Xiuxiu said that there was a palace maid who had entered the palace early in the past, but the house was always empty when she left the palace. Tang Xu wanted to find a way for the two of them to leave for a while so that they could go and see the things under the cabinet. Unexpectedly, Wang Fang rushed to Tang Xu's side, Tang Xu was shocked, and thought that he had discovered it. But Wang Fang just wiped the stool for him, and said that it was too dirty to go out to fetch water to wipe it properly. Xiuxiu said that it would be good to go by herself, but Wang Fang refused to say that she wanted to go together, and the two of them argued, and Tang Xu said that the two of you should go together.
Tang Xu was secretly happy, they were helping themselves in the dark, Wang Fang and Xiuxiu had just stepped out, Tang Xu went to the big wooden cabinet and squatted down to take a closer look, it was okay not to look at it, the more he looked at it, the more he felt like something, he took it out and looked at it again, it was quite similar to the little scarecrow he had seen in the queen's bedroom. Tang Xu was shocked, did anyone still want to put Miss Xiuxiu to death? But if you look closely, you don't see where there is a birthday written in the eight characters, and the birthday without a name is just a general scarecrow with no other role.
Is it just a coincidence? But is there a time in this palace when you need to tie a scarecrow? Or is someone trying to blame Xiuxiu. Tang Xu had a lot of questions in his mind, and he couldn't understand it for a while, he heard the footsteps from far and near, and quickly took the scarecrow into his arms.
Wang Fang was anxious to know Tang Xu's arrangement, Tang Xu also said something about it, and then got up to leave, after all, he had a time bomb-like thing on his body, and he had to put it in a safe place as soon as possible.
Wang Fang did not doubt him, and said goodbye to Xiuxiu and followed Tang Xu back to the Imperial Medical Hall. Entering the courtyard, Tang Xu met Zhang Zhi who was sweeping the floor, Zhang Zhi saw Wang Fang escorting Tang Xu back with a smile on his face, thinking that Tang Xu didn't take the news he had inquired about as a thing, and suddenly felt depressed in his chest. Tang Xu had a ghost in his heart, and he was unconsciously silent a lot, which made Zhang Zhi even more unhappy.
Tang Xu easily stayed up until the sun went down, and when the time was over, he hurried out of the palace. When he returned home, he deliberately closed the courtyard door so that no one would break in and see the frightening thing. It was not safe to close the courtyard door, Tang Xu entered the house again, and after carefully inspecting it, he sat down and took out the little scarecrow with confidence.
This thing is about half a foot long and a palm wide, and the length and thickness of the grass branches look like they have been processed, especially since this is different from the color of ordinary dead grass, and it seems to have been carefully cared for before it dried up. He was puzzled, and sat in the room for a long time, not even noticing that someone was behind him.
"Who?" Tang Xu suddenly felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at him behind him, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out. When I looked back, I found that it was Xiaocui, and I was surprised and delighted.
"Xiaocui, why are you here?" Tang Xu greeted him with a smile, but Xiao Cui was a little unhappy, and asked him why he said that he would go to his house but broke his promise. Tang Xu hurriedly explained that he had forgotten the time, and took out the scarecrow that confused him to show Xiaocui.
"Huh?" Xiao Cui took it and looked at it carefully, and suddenly pondered, and suddenly smelled it again, as if she was trying to recall something.
"Have you seen this?" Tang Xu asked her, Xiao Cui thought for a long time before nodding and saying that this kind of hay was like grass in the imperial stables, Tang Xu wondered why she would know. Xiaocui said that when he entered the palace, he had to learn a lot of rules and see a lot of things, and this forage had a special color and smell, so he always remembered it when he saw it. Tang Xu only paid attention to the color and did not pay attention to the smell, so he took it and smelled it himself, and there was actually a faint smell of medicinal herbs, which had been soaked in medicinal herbs, and there was no smell of dampness and soil in general.
"No wonder I think this hay has been carefully made." Tang Xu smiled and said with a smile, after all, it was the emperor, and even the horses were raised so expensive.
"Where did you get this stuff?" Cui asked. Tang Xu didn't want to hide it from her, so he told Xiaocui that the queen was tricked, and where he found this thing in Concubine Jin's mother, etc., even Wang Fang may be as fake as himself, but he didn't say anything about Concubine Jin's goodwill to herself, for fear that Xiaocui would be unhappy.
"Could it be that Concubine Jin wants to murder the queen?" Xiao Cui whispered, even in Tang Xu's house, she didn't dare to openly say such rebellious words.
