Li Yuanba, who didn't know that the Taiyuan royal family was running around to fulfill the gambling contract, could be regarded as having a comfortable sleep today, sleeping from noon to unitary hour, and after several hours, Li Yuanba felt that his whole person was relaxed.

"It's getting dark, why don't these two girls come over to wake me up? Could it be that you also went to sleep? Shaking his head, Li Yuanba picked up the herbal tea on the kang table and took a sip, waking up.

Then, he shouted: "Xia'er, Jingjing......"

In order to be able to better serve Li Yuanba, the room of the two girls is next to Li Yuanba's small suite, plus the two girls are very energetic on weekdays, and rarely take a nap, so according to the habit of weekdays, Li Yuanba's voice is always able to call the two of them over.

But today is different, after Li Yuanba's voice, after the time of tea, he didn't yell at the two little girls.

"Hey, it's weird, what's wrong with these two girls today?" Li Yuanba wondered in his heart, and shouted again: "Xia'er, Jingjing......"

Waiting left and right, no one came, and Li Yuanba was really surprised.

He got off the kang and went outside, and the lights were on outside.

Two days are Chinese New Year's Eve, and this day seems to know that this is the most important festival of the year in China, with the full moon above the clear night sky, exceptionally bright, sprinkling pieces of silver brilliance, diffusing the earth.

"Xia'er, Jingjing...... Are you there? Stretching, Li Yuanba came to the outside of the house of the two girls and knocked on the door.

At this time, a maid hurriedly walked through the middle courtyard, Li Yuanba's eyes lit up, and he beckoned to him: "Who is that...... Come here! ”

"The servant has seen the prince!" The maid had never spoken to her master so closely, so she was a little nervous.

"Did you see Jingjing and Xia'er in the afternoon?" Li Yuanba asked.

"Back to the words of the prince. At noon, the maid saw that the two sisters had entered the room, and had they come out after that. The slave doesn't know! The maid's answer was very cautious, and she even called her sister with Zhao Jingjing and Xia'er.

Of course. It's not that the age of this maid is really younger than Xia'er, the reason why she calls the two sisters is because Zhao Jingjing and Xia'er are Li Yuanba's personal maids, and this 'sister' shows her recognition and respect for the status of the two daughters in the Wuwang Mansion.

In fact, if you think about it, it's the same thing.

In this palace, except for the future princess, the two daughters have nothing to fear. Even the officials or housekeepers in the palace Bai Fu couldn't control them.

"Alright, there you go!"

Li Yuanba sent the woman away, he tried to push the door, and found that it was locked by the back.

"Xia'er, Jingjing, are you inside? Did I hit the door? ”

At this time, Li Yuanba felt that something was wrong, and with his strength, his right hand just hit the door hard, and with a cracking sound of wood, the door was broken.

At this moment, a rather pungent smell came from behind the pink curtain.

"Holy. What does this smell like? Li Yuanba cursed, tore down the door curtain, and ran straight to the back room.

The boudoir for the two daughters is a two-bedroom, one-living room suite. Because Xia'er and Zhao Jingjing get along very well on weekdays and are like sisters, the two simply moved to live in one bedroom, and the other bedroom was treated as a small sundries.

The beautiful girl's boudoir is very girly, except for a small round table, two relatively large dressers, two beds, and an earthen kang in the whole room. The most striking thing was the pink curtain hanging from the window.

However, these were not what Li Yuanba cared about the most, and his eyes looked directly at the charcoal brazier located in the middle of the bedroom. Because the pungent smell came from the charcoal brazier.

"What the hell? Charcoal...... Well? It's coal!! ”

Look at the charcoal brazier under the cover of gray-black charcoal residues. Revealing half of his black body, Li Yuanba finally understood what was going on.

I don't have to say anything about the pungent smell, it must be the smell of sulfur dioxide, and the reason why the two girls can't wake up is carbon monoxide poisoning!

Kicking the charcoal brazier to the side, Li Yuanba took three steps and made two steps to the edge of the small earthen kang on that side.

Xia'er and Zhao Jingjing, who were lying side by side on the kang, were still breathing smoothly at the moment, but their faces were extremely pale, and their foreheads were dripping with sweat.

"Damn, which tease. Forced to mix coal and charcoal? Can this thing be used for heating casually? ”

Li Yuan scolded angrily, one in each hand, carried the two girls on his shoulders, and ran towards the house in great strides.

Walking into the long corridor outside the house, he carefully put the two little girls on the rocking chairs that had only been made a few days ago, and hurriedly entered the house to open all the windows in the house, and then rushed out of the house with two fur blankets in his hand, and shouted loudly:

"Someone, someone......"

"Da Da Da ......"

Dense footsteps sounded, and a group of two hundred royal palace soldiers appeared in front of Li Yuanba, along with the housekeeper Bai Fu, and a few young maids.

"Lord, what do you command?"

A group of people saluted Li Yuanba in a solemn manner, and the scene was really a bit scary.

Li Yuanba didn't expect that his voice would even roar at the prince's army.

"Uh...... General Wang, there is nothing for you to do here, you go first! ”

Li Yuanba first sent the pro-army away, and then said to Bai Fu: "Bai Fu, I remember that there are still two air bags left in the previous zuò airbags, right?" Look for it and see if you can find it! By the way, who in the government is responsible for procuring charcoal for daily heating? Call him to the king, and the king has something to ask him. ”

"No!"

Bai Fu is still the character who is not dead or alive, he is not enthusiastic about anyone, even if he injects money from his own family, he still has a dead face.

……

After Bai Fu left, Xu was awakened by the cold air outside, and Xia'er, who had fallen into a coma, was the first to wake up. She opened her big watery eyes and looked around her in a daze.

When she found out that she had arrived outside the house, she couldn't help but let out a 'huh' in surprise.

"You're awake!" I heard the low, dream-like voice. Li Yuanba grabbed Xia'er's little hand and said, "How do you feel?" Is it uncomfortable or not? ”

"Lord Wang!" Xia'er looked at Li Yuanba. Whisperingly, a little hoarsely, he said, "What's the matter,?" Why do you feel dizzy and a little unable to open your eyes? ”

Li Yuanba gently pinched Xia'er's little hand and said, "You are poisoned by gas!" If I hadn't slammed your door open, neither of you would have seen me by now!" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Jingjing also woke up, and just heard the second half of Li Yuanba's words, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Huh? You're awake too! Li Yuanba turned his head and reached out to touch Zhao Jingjing's somewhat pale little face.

Seeing Li Yuanba stretching out his hand, Zhao Jingjing subconsciously wanted to dodge Li Yuanba's big hand. But somehow, his head was not under his control, and he let Li Yuanba's big hand fall on it.

In order to hide the sudden rise of shyness, she said: "Gas? Lord, what did you just mean by gas? ”

Li Yuanba withdrew his big hand and was just about to speak, when Bai Fu led an ordinary-looking young eunuch who looked no more than thirty years old.

"Lord Wang, this is what you want. In addition, his name is Guan He. He is in charge of the daily sundries procurement in our palace, so if you have anything to say, just ask him! ”

Bai Fu handed over the two somewhat shriveled air bags in his hand to Li Yuanba, and then arched his hand and turned to leave.

"The slave Guan and the prince have seen it!" Guan He lowered his eyebrows and bowed to Li Yuanba. The action is decent.

Li Yuanba didn't pay attention to Guan He, but first handed the two air bags to the two women to breathe, and then turned around and entered the house.

After coming out, he held the charcoal brazier in his hand, stretched out his hand and pointed to the black coal in the charcoal brazier, Li Yuanba said: "Guan He, right?" Show this king, what is this thing? ”

Guan He glanced down at the charcoal brazier, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't help but swing all over his body.

"Smack!"

The charcoal brazier was thrown to the ground by Li Yuanba in a fit of rage. The coal, which had not yet been burned, emerged from the gray-black charcoal residue in the basin. Slip out of the distance.

Li Yuanba snorted and said, "You mean?" ”

'Poof! ’

Guan He couldn't hold back any longer. The whole person was suddenly so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "Return, go back to the prince's words, this, this is Shitan!" ”

"Coal?"

Zhao Jingjing, who was happily inhaling the oxygen in the air bag, paused after hearing Guan He's words, and interjected: "Is it the kind of stone that is black, brittle, and burns with yellow-blue flames?" ”

"You know?" Li Yuanba turned his head and looked at Zhao Jingjing with some surprise.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhao Jingjing did not answer Li Yuanba, but scolded Na Guan He angrily: "How can you mix the charcoal you gave me with charcoal?" If I bring this pot of charcoal to the prince's house, once the prince is poisoned by charcoal, will you be able to bear this responsibility? ”

"Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die!"

Guan He was startled and kowtowed.

"Jingjing, do you know this coal?" Li Yuanba asked again.

"Lord Wang, in fact, this charcoal is not a rare thing, in this winter, some poor families use charcoal for heating! However, this thing is difficult to ignite, and it is easy for people to be poisoned by charcoal, and those who are lightly poisoned will be unconscious, and those who are deeply poisoned will even die because of it! Therefore, there are not a few people who die in this charcoal poison every year! ”

Li Jingjing's voice was still full of anger.

"Oh!" When Li Yuanba heard this, he touched his chin clearly, and then suddenly turned his head to look at Guan He, and said, "Say, what is your intention in mixing charcoal with this charcoal?" Where did you get this coal? ”
