Chapter 114: Five Stones
Zhao Ling sat on the stone steps in front of the door sulking, Jiang Xiaoyu walked over, sat down beside him, and reproached: "Uncle's body has not fully recovered, and now he is a patient, why do you want to lose your temper with him!" ”
"I just have anger in my heart!" Zhao Ling said, "Before he did this, he didn't discuss it with me!" Did he think about the three of us when he made the decision? We don't have a mother, is he going to make us lose even our father? ”
"Uncle doesn't discuss with you, I'm afraid you won't agree!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "It's already happened, there's no point in blaming your uncle anymore!" Fortunately, my uncle is safe and sound, and that's the most important thing, isn't it? ”
"I know all these truths, but I can't accept them emotionally...... I am a selfish person, I know that all things in this world, when achieving the goal, there will always be sacrifices, but I would rather the person who sacrifices is myself than someone close to me! ”
Jiang Xiaoyu hugged Zhao Ling's arm and said softly: "Then have you ever thought about what I should do if something happens to you?" Since you will blame your uncle, then you yourself should be careful not to do anything that worries me! ”
"Got it, I really can't help you!" Zhao Ling sighed, "I never thought that my father was my backing, I never thought that my father could be our pioneer, his mind is indeed ahead of us, when we are at a loss, he has already begun to act, even if the method is very risky!" ”
"We suspect that the person who poisoned us is Your Majesty, and we have made a lot of conjectures, but we are afraid that the people of the eldest grandson family will also think that it is Your Majesty who designed all this, but it doesn't matter, all this is developing in the direction that Your Majesty wants!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "It's just that this year, I'm afraid that the people of the eldest grandson's family are not stable!" ”
The two whispered this, and at this time, they saw Liu Shi coming with a medicine bowl, and said in surprise from afar: "Why are you sitting on the ground, like a child!" Hurry up, don't catch a cold! ”
Jiang Xiaoyu still has some understanding of the situation in the palace, this Liu family is in her early thirties, the side concubine of the king of Chu, she followed the king of Chu when she was more than ten years old, because she was born poor, it turned out to be just a room, and the princess promoted her to be a side concubine, so she has a good relationship with the princess, and the relationship with the three brothers and sisters of Zhao Ling is also relatively close.
"Aunt Liu, is this sending medicine to my father?" Zhao Ling asked.
"Yes! It's time to drink the medicine! Liu looked at Jiang Xiaoyu with a smile, "Miss Jiang doesn't look the same as when she came to the palace last time, I didn't recognize it just now, why did she become so beautiful all of a sudden!" What a blessing for our son! ”
"Aunt Liu, go in quickly, lest the medicine be cold!" Zhao Ling said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll wait for the prince to take the medicine first, and then I'll talk to you for a while!" Liu smiled and entered the palace of the king of Chu, beckoned the two maids to help the king of Chu up, she first tasted it herself, and said while stirring the medicine to cool down: "When the concubine came, I saw the prince and Miss Jiang, and the two little guys talked together, and the feelings were honey and oil!" This Jiang girl is also getting more and more beautiful, which is the blessing of our son! At the beginning, the concubine didn't understand why the prince agreed to this family business, but today, looking at the soft look on the prince's face, she really found the right person! It feels like the princess looks at the princess's sister! ”
King Chu smiled lightly: "It is a blessing for two children to be able to meet someone you like!" ”
"The key is that the two children of Quan'er and Yang'er also like Miss Jiang very much!" Liu smiled slightly, "It's a pity that the Jiang family has been in trouble, otherwise this daughter-in-law would have already married into the door, and our palace has not had a happy event for a long time!" ”
"What's the hurry, it's almost there!" King Chu said with a smile.
Because the king of Chu needed to recuperate, there were not many guests in the palace. Zhao Ling and Jiang Xiaoyu were idle and bored, and decided to cook a meal for the King of Chu himself.
"When are you going to cook?" Jiang Xiaoyu watched in amazement as a few home-cooked dishes were made from Zhao Ling's hands, "I thought you were a gentleman, but I didn't expect to do this!" ”
"It's very simple, just watch them do it once and you will learn it!"
"It smells so good!" Ling Huyao's voice came from outside, and I saw him come to the kitchen with his head probed, "Cousin, I didn't expect you to cook yourself!" Or my cousin-in-law has face! ”
"If you want to eat later, don't talk about it!" Zhao Ling said lightly.
Ling Hu Yao snorted unconvinced: "I didn't say the wrong thing again!" I'm here with my dad today, and he's gone to visit King Chu! ”
"Your dad won't beat you anymore?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked with a smile.
"No more fighting!" Ling Hu Yao shrugged his shoulders, "In two months, it will be the annual martial arts competition, and he wants me to take the martial arts championship, for fear that he will break me and affect my performance!" ”
"Since you don't want to study, it's good to be martial arts!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Work hard, take the martial arts exam, and make your father happy!" ”
"But I know how many pounds and taels I have!" Ling Hu Yao said helplessly, "My three-legged cat's kung fu, that's the material for winning the martial arts, it's not like I'm going to find a beating!" ”
"You can't do it!" Zhao Ling said lightly, "You just want to mess around like this for the rest of your life?" ”
"Anyway, if I have money in my family, I can do nonsense for the rest of my life!" Ling Huyao said, "I still have three younger brothers at home, why do you have to get ahead, if I don't have great ambitions, there must be something wrong?" ”
"It's not necessarily wrong to have no ambitions, like Lin Xuan, he is determined to be in the mountains, he only wants to be idle in the clouds and wild cranes for a lifetime, hanging pots to help the world, what about you, do you have what you want to do? Are you really planning to just mess around like this for the rest of your life? You don't even have the path you want to take, no wonder your dad is in a hurry to arrange it for you! ”
"This kind of thing, there will always be a day when you want to figure it out, why is he in a hurry!" Ling Huyao blinked, "There's one thing, I'm afraid you all have to forget, I don't know if you want to know?" ”
"Say!" Zhao Ling put the last dish on the plate, and Jiang Xiaoyu hurriedly went to untie his apron.
"Didn't you ask me to investigate the matter of Wushisan a while ago?" Ling Huyao said, "Do you remember this incident? After my observation, these five stones are still very popular in the capital recently, at first there were some rich young masters who smoked it, and slowly some literati were also taking it, and even now it is slowly spreading to the people and the government! ”
After a pause, Ling Hu Yao continued: "After smoking Wushisan, you will feel very excited, and you will feel like you have come to a fairyland, but this thing is easy to addict, and the purchase price is extremely high, and the people who sell Wushisan behind this must be seeking huge profits from this!" If Wushisan is really spread too widely, it will make the people have no intention of living and working in peace and contentment, and in order to make up the money to buy Wushisan, I am afraid that many families will be ruined, and the people in the government will also be controlled, so it can be said that the consequences are very serious! ”
After Ling Hu Yao finished speaking, Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling's faces changed, five stones were scattered in the capital, the two of them had known for a long time, but they didn't think that it would spread so quickly, if it continued like this, Ling Hu Yao said it well, it would cause very serious consequences!
"At first, Wushisan was just a medicinal herb, and Master would also use this herb to inhale the extremely painful patients to alleviate their suffering!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "But the dosage is measured and not addictive!" These five stones were scattered in the previous dynasty, which almost caused a lot of trouble, so they were banned, but I didn't expect that now there is a comeback, and the temptation brought by this huge amount of money is enough to make these people take risks! ”
"Those who sell Wushi San must have a backer behind them!" Ling Huyao said, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have had the courage to act directly in the capital!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling glanced at each other, this matter will definitely not be simple.
"I'll start looking into this!"
Dingjun Marquis Mansion.
"Take your medicine!" Jiang Yiran held the medicine bowl and looked indifferently at Changsun Quan on the hospital bed.
Changsun Quan glared at Jiang Yiran resentfully, trying to knock over the medicine bowl in her hand, Jiang Yiran easily dodged it, looked at him coldly and said, "You have to take this medicine if you want to, you have to take it if you don't want to eat it!" ”
As she spoke, she sent the medicine bowl to the lips of Changsun Quan, and forced him to drink the medicine, and at this time, the voice of the maid came from outside the house: "The eldest son! ”
Jiang Yiran was stunned for a moment, hurriedly poured the remaining half bowl of medicine on his body, and then knelt pitifully in front of the bed.
"What's going on again?" The eldest grandson entered late, and when he saw that Jiang Yiran had been wronged again, he frowned slightly, and pulled Jiang Yiran up from the ground, "Second brother, you are now married, and this temper should be restrained from now on!" ”
"Big brother, this woman is a femme fatale, I will be killed by her sooner or later!" Changsun Quan hammered the bed board uneasily, "I want to divorce my wife!" I'm going to divorce my wife! Get her out, get her out right now! ”
"Second brother! Stop messing around! The eldest grandson Chi said with a calm face, "Yiran married you, how could you ever treat her as your wife?" Women are meant to be loved, not abused! You are also the eldest person, when will you be able to learn to be more mature, and don't let your mother and father worry about you anymore! ”
"It's not like this, it's not like this!" Changsun Quan distinguished, "You have all been deceived by this woman, she is extremely vicious!" She's going to kill me! ”
"Enough!" Changsun Chi called a maid to come in and clean up for Changsun Quan, and he came out first with Jiang Yiran, who had already cried into a tearful person.
"You're a living person, just standing there and being bullied by him?" The eldest grandson Chi scolded, "When he is angry, you don't know how to hide?" ”
"I'm sorry!" Jiang Yiran said pitifully, "I really don't know what to do!" I really doubt that I am really so vicious, which is why the second son hates me so much! ”
