Chapter 54: Cheng Liangdi (Second Watch)
The staff returned to the East Palace in the dark.
Xiao Ze asked with his hands behind his back, "How?" Chen Qiaoyue agreed. β
The staff shook their heads, "Chen Qiaoyue didn't agree!" β
Xiao Ze's face sank, and he couldn't take Chen Qiaoyue's route, which was equivalent to blocking the way to kill the four dead soldiers.
"However, although the subordinate saw that he did not agree, he was not indifferent, I am afraid that the subordinate is soft-spoken, he wants His Royal Highness's personal guarantee, if you meet him in person, maybe he will agree."
Xiao Ze frowned, "This palace is thinking about it behind closed doors. β
"Your Highness can't leave the East Palace, but Lord Chen can come in? Late at night tomorrow, the ministers will go to Chen's Mansion again and invite Lord Chen to come over? As long as His Royal Highness personally assured him that His Royal Highness would ascend the throne in the future, he would have a place in the cabinet, and he would definitely agree to this meritorious work for the sake of his beloved daughter and for the sake of a supreme minister. β
Xiao Ze snorted coldly, "He doesn't have much talent, otherwise he wouldn't have sat in Jing Zhaoyin's position for more than ten years without moving places." Want to be in the Cabinet? What a face? β
The staff immediately said, "Although he doesn't have much talent, but he is tactful, and it is not without merit, His Highness is now the time to use him, you might as well agree first." In the future, I am afraid that there will be many more places for us to bother Jing Zhaoyin, as long as he has been on the road, why should His Highness give him a cabinet position in the future? Anyway, he is old, and he will not be a few years away from Zhishi, so he will raise a few years of old age. β
Xiao Ze felt reasonable, but still shook his head, "You take the token of the palace to see him, the palace has thought about it behind closed doors, you can't act rashly, and you can't see the ministers in the East Palace, how can it be good if your father knows about it?" At this time, it's better to be careful, Ling Hua that woman is very shrewd, she is afraid that the palace will take advantage of loopholes in the past two days, and she will see Xu Zizhou to death, and she will even send him back to the house late at night, and she is not afraid that Yan Qing will feel that the green grass on her head will pick a son and not marry her. Maybe someone will also be sent to keep an eye on the palace, so you should be careful when you go to the Chen Mansion. β
The staff nodded, and talked about Yan Qing and Ling Hualai, "Miss Ling and Yan Xiao Hou Ye seem to get along well, these two days Yan Xiao Hou Ye is recuperating from his injuries, and Miss Ling goes to Duanjing Hou Mansion to accompany him for most of the day at noon and afternoon. β
Xiao Ze's face was ugly, "What's wrong with the banquet?" Isn't it that you don't like women? How did you get to Ling Hua and make an exception? Is he the one who left a woman in the palace? Can you listen carefully to what is going on with her and Yan Qing? β
The staff shook their heads, embarrassed, "You know, since Duanjing Houfu was left alone, he drove out all the people in the mansion in order to be clean, and there were only a dozen or twenty people left, one by one, loyal to the lord, only he respected, not to mention that we can't put people in the East Palace, even the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, and no one can tie up in his mansion, it is said that two days ago, the little eunuch who raised horses in the Imperial Horse Division stayed for one night and was driven back to the palace. β
Xiao Ze was so angry when he mentioned this, "Ling Hua, this slut, she must have known that there was a handiwork of the palace behind the assassination, so she went to her father and gave the sweat and blood that the palace had been staring at to come out and give it to Yan Qing." β
It's a pity that he thought about it behind closed doors in the East Palace, and even if he got the news, he couldn't rush out of the East Palace to stop his father from giving her a bloody horse.
"She's going to please the feast." Xiao Ze hated in his heart, "One day, I will divide her five horses." β
The staff was relieved, "Your Highness is angry, it's just a sweaty and bloody horse, and when you ascend the throne in the future, let Fanbang send ten horses and eight horses." Now the key is not this bloody horse, but Chen Qiaoyue's submission to you, killing the four dead soldiers first, and cutting off the end cleanly. As long as Hei Thirteen is not arrested and caught, and runs back to his territory in the green forest, the leader of the dead soldiers returns to the Wen family smoothly, and is not caught by Jingzhao Yin Xu Zizhou with braids, this matter is a headless public case. β
Xiao Ze's anger in his heart disappeared a little, "Well, you're right! The top priority is this, and it is imperative to take Chen Qiaoyue as soon as possible. β
The staff thought for a while and tentatively suggested, "Why don't you take advantage of Cheng Chu Gongzi of Yongle Mansion?" He and the little marquis of Yan are the same brothers, Your Highness, you asked him for a small favor, and he dared to refuse? β
Xiao Ze didn't wait to see Cheng Chu, "What little help can he help?" β
The staff reminded, "The little marquis is now recuperating in the mansion and is easy not to leave the house, and if we want to win Chen Qiaoyue's trust, we must first solve his daughter Chen Langui's lovesickness, Chen Langui likes to feast on the little marquis, why not take advantage of Cheng Chu?" He is Cheng Liangdi's brother, and the entire Cheng family is the only one who looks forward to His Highness, so there is no reason why he can't help His Highness? β
Xiao Ze shook his head and refused, "The Cheng family is the Cheng family, Cheng Chu is Cheng Chu, Cheng Chu is good friends with Yan Qing, over the years, I have wanted him to help me in front of the imperial grandmother more than once, as long as the imperial grandmother says something in front of his father, my father will no longer reuse Ling Hua, and hand over Jiangnan Caoyun to me, why am I so hard?" But as if he hadn't heard, he wouldn't betray me to help me. β
"Always try, or, let Cheng Liangdi go out to deceive her brother, Cheng Liangdi is Your Highness's woman, she should share your worries for you, as long as you trick the little Marquis out of the house, let's drug him, let him and Chen Langui achieve good things, and the matter will be done." Not only can it control Chen Qiaoyue's submission, but it can also make Ling Hua lose face. Before the wedding, if the fiancΓ© rolls together with other women, won't she be angry? Can this marriage still work out? That must not be done, without the line of feasting the little marquis, even if Ling Hua likes the queen mother, it is not as scary as she likes now, it seems that she wants to give her the good things in the world, if it goes on like this, it is not good for your Highness. β
Xiao Ze was moved by the words, and he was ruthless, "This palace will go to Cheng Liangdi to sit tonight." β
The staff bowed their heads and reminded, "Your Highness, you just sit down, otherwise if you favor Cheng Liangdi, Your Majesty is afraid that you will get the news." After all, you're still being penalized. β
Xiao Ze was angry again, "It's all Ling Hua's slut." β
Otherwise, when did his father control him from being close to women?
The staff saw that Xiao Ze's eyes were red with anger, and their hearts trembled, "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, Your Highness, you have worked hard." For the sake of the great cause, you can bear with it, and one day, we will paint a dead body. β
Xiao Ze took a deep breath and waved his hand, "Bengong knows!" β
Endure and endure, he has endured Ling Hua for three years, he must find a chance to kill her!
In the inner courtyard of the East Palace, in addition to the crown princess Wen, there is also a side concubine, three Liangdi, and more than 20 concubines.
Cheng Liangdi is quite favored in the East Palace because of the Cheng family's money bag, and she can wait for the prince Xiao Ze three days a month.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was punished by His Majesty for thinking about copying books behind closed doors, and His Majesty dictated that he was not allowed to approach women for half a month, so the women in the East Palace felt that they could not get to the prince's side for half a month.
Cheng Liangdi washed up early and went to bed, half-asleep and half-awake, she was woken up by someone shouting that His Royal Highness the Prince had come down, she sat up from the bed in shock, and couldn't believe it.
She counted with her fingers, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't been here for half a month at this time, and he shouldn't have come, but he couldn't help but spoil the woman, she didn't think she should look for her, she didn't want to, she didn't want to, she couldn't be besieged by the women in the inner courtyard of the East Palace!
So, she pretended to be asleep and lowered her voice, "Just say that I am sick, and I am afraid that I will give it to Your Highness after I am sick, and let Your Highness find someone else, right?" For example, the crown princess! β
lest the crown princess be jealous, tomorrow she will know that His Royal Highness will come to her tonight and punish her to kneel on the floor and copy scriptures.
Servant Maid: "......"
She also felt that for the sake of her own good deeds, she couldn't let the prince enter the door at this time, so she nodded, agreed, and went out to stop Xiao Ze as if she were dead.
After the maid went out, Cheng Liangdi was not at ease, so she took out a pill from the bedside, was ruthless, and swallowed it.
So, in the blink of an eye, she really fell asleep.
The maid naturally didn't stop Xiao Ze, Xiao Ze rushed into the back room and told the maid to wake up Cheng Liangdi.
The maid had no choice but to shout, but found that her own Liangdi couldn't wake up no matter how much she shouted. I secretly admired Liangdi's pretending to be a good sleeper.
Xiao Ze saw that the maid was useless and lost his patience, so he stepped forward, dragged Cheng Liangdi up, and shook him violently, but Cheng Liangdi slept tightly, her eyes were closed, and she didn't wake up.
Xiao Ze didn't believe it at first, but now he couldn't help but believe it, and asked the maidservant, "What is her disease?" β
The slave maid was also shocked, it didn't look like Liangdi was pretending to be asleep and dead, she didn't know why, she felt strange, but she still didn't dare to say that her own Liangdi was still talking well when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first came, so she could only say vaguely, "When the night is about to rest, Liangdi feels uncomfortable, and the slave and maid say please ask the imperial doctor, Liangdi thinks that the palace has fallen into the key, and it is not good to mobilize the people, so she will wake up and talk about ......it."
Xiao Ze hugged Cheng Liangdi, feeling that she was not sick sooner or later, and it was really not the right time to be sick, so he calmly said to Xiao Wangzi, the little eunuch who was waiting with him, "Take the token of the palace and hurry up to the hospital to ask for a doctor!" β
Xiao Wangzi answered and hurriedly went.
Not long after, a doctor on duty at the Tai Hospital hurriedly entered the East Palace with a medicine box.
After the imperial doctor took Cheng Liangdi's pulse, his expression was solemn, "Liangdi seems to have been poisoned." β
Xiao Ze was shocked, "What poison?" β
The imperial doctor shook his head, "The official medical skills are shallow, I don't know what kind of poisonous ...... is"
Xiao Ze was solemn and instructed Xiao Wangzi, "Go and ask the head of the hospital." β
Xiao Wangzi didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went out of the palace to the mansion of the head of the Tai Hospital, Imperial Doctor Feng.
