Early the next morning, the imperial doctor went to Huayang Palace to diagnose the pulse of the eldest princess of Pingyi. Xu has been reversed day and night recently, or she is not accustomed to water and soil, and she has fallen ill. After drinking the decoction bowl by bowl, the condition not only did not improve, but also showed signs of aggravation. Concubines who went to visit the sick were blocked from the palace and were not allowed to enter. There is even a special guard at the door.

After that, there was news that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was suffering from tuberculosis. Suddenly, everyone in the palace was in danger. The ladies who drank and feasted with Pingyi were even more frightened. They went to ask the familiar doctors to prescribe prescriptions.

Empress Han ordered someone to move Pingyi to the palace. After the eldest princess's mansion is completed, she will be sent over to recuperate.

Emperor Yifeng was mournful and had no intention of eating.

Nato and Duhu are both worried and sad. is not as comprehensive as Pingyi, and the feeling of sending people under the fence is heavier. Nato also restrained her domineering temperament, and both of them looked forward to moving to the princess's mansion as soon as possible.

The little spy brought a large vat with a bowl of lotus from the East Factory and put it in the small courtyard of the Divine Machinery Division. The bowl lotus is in full bloom and exudes a faint fragrance, and the palm-long red carp and the verdant lotus leaves contrast with each other, which is very eye-catching.

Pei Jinyao likes it tightly, and feeds some fish food in his spare time.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has arrived at the palace." The little secret agent quickly weeded the beans, "Princess Nato and the Duhu Prince didn't even see her for the last time. ”

Lao Wen sat under the porch and embroidered a bunch of purple grapes on the apron of the little secret agent, covering the oil stains that could not be washed off the top, "If the person is not dead, where is the last one." ”

The little secret agent puffed out his cheeks, "Tuberculosis is not easy to treat." The Duhu prince hasn't gone out of the city with the four princes for the past two days. ”

"My mother is seriously ill and she went out to run horses, what happened to her?" Lao Wen changed the green thread to embroider the leaves.

That's not what I said. Didn't Princess Natuo summon the granddaughter of the Marquis of Dingbei into the palace yesterday? How could she have the heart to meet friends? The little spy plucked up a small tuft of weeds and brought out an earthworm. He happily picked it up and threw it into the tank to feed the fish.

Pei Jinyao was startled, hid beside Lao Wen, and pointed at the little agent, "You don't squeak, it's really, it scares me." ”

"Squeak!" The little agent is very obedient.

Pei Jinyao yelled at him angrily: "Punish you for frying a pot of meat tomorrow!" ”

Lao Wen sighed leisurely, and said slowly: "Pei Shenji, Ming'er, you ask for rain, it's not good to eat too much greasy." The little ones heard that the adults are coming to cheer you on. ”

"What's the show? I'm not a dramatist! Aren't they messy enough? Pei Jinyao was even more angry, and helped the crooked official hat, "Don't do business day by day." ”

"They are all adults with heads and faces, and they know the rules. He will not throw a purse or a jade pendant on the stage. Lao Wen rubbed his sore fingers, "Maybe they are all bets." If you don't feel at ease, you can't stop it, no. ”

Pei Jinyao closed her eyes helplessly, "I didn't expect the officials of Daxia to be so good at gambling." Such a group of people are in charge of the people's livelihood......" paused for a moment, his face full of compassion, "It's really worrying." ”

The little spy ran to the well to clean his hands, washed his face by the way, wiped it indiscriminately, and ran to Pei Jinyao to ask for merit, regardless of the water droplets dripping on the tip of his nose, "The little one has wiped your peach wood sword, and the dansha has also been polished." As he spoke, he took out a pair of boots from behind the door, "Uncle Wen just made it, you look at the bottom and deliberately thickened it by an inch, so that you look tall." ”

Lao Wen clenched his fist and hammered it to the shoulder of the little secret agent, "Don't say that the god is short." ”

The little spy was very aggrieved, "Old Uncle Wen, who are we talking about the magic machine making short?" ”

The boots are embroidered with black silk thread with moire patterns that can only be seen in the sun, and the heels are adorned with jade the size of a fingernail, which is both beautiful and not ostentatious. Pei Jinyao liked it very much, and rubbed it in his arms, "Ah Fa went to Pei's Mansion to deliver a letter, saying that I wanted to read more books tonight, so I would rest in the Shenji Division." You take my robe by the way. ”

Ah Fa answered yes and went to the east factory to lead the horse.

Lao Wen shouted, "At night, I will make cucumber-filled dumplings for the god machine to eat." "Put the needle and thread in place, go to the stove to work and chop the stuffing.

Pei Jinyao sat on the small pestle and supported her chin with one hand, "Okay." Eat dumplings and get on the road. You can't be a starving ghost anymore. He shouted at the stove with his throat in his voice: "Pack more." I can eat forty. ”

The horrified old man paused, and said to himself, "Forty? Who is begging for rain if it is broken? ”

……

In the evening, Ah Fa set up a small table in the courtyard, and the three of them gathered around to eat dumplings.

Stuffed with cucumber and egg and shrimp. Refreshing and fresh. The little dumplings in the old bun, Pei Jinyao's little face was flushed when they ate one bite at a time.

Lao Wen advised from the side, "You eat slowly and be careful of choking." ”

Pei Jinyao shook her head and said vaguely: "No, I have a number." ”

The little spy poured wine for Lao Wen, "The old lady is rewarded with wine from the Western Regions." ”

Mrs. Pei and Webster packed a lot of things for the little agent. In addition to wine, there are also snacks, bedding, incense, and cuiqiao and banxia.

As soon as the two of them came back to the Divine Machine Division for the first time, they found it interesting to see everywhere. After tidying up Pei Jinyao's bedroom, he walked around the yard.

As the sun sets, the bowl lotus reflected in the afterglow of the sky becomes more and more soft, the bean vines climb all over the bamboo frame, the breeze blows, and the light and agile green leaves tremble like strings of wind chimes.

The little secret agent kept chattering, "The old lady asked the little one to tell you that Ming'er, our whole family came to see you and beg for rain." She told you not to panic, even if you can't ask for it, it's not a big deal. ”

Lao Wen took a sip of wine, "It's really not good, just follow what we discussed last time." Get a cheap child for Lu Guoshi to raise for him. Look where his old face goes. ”

Cui Qiao and Banxia were fascinated by it.

There were only two of them under the girl's hand. The janitor is very kind, but a roll of his eyes is a bad idea. It is really a human being who cannot be seen. That fried meat brother is white and clean, and he has good meat in his hand, but he is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Lao Wen said again: "However, even if we don't do anything, Lu Guoshi won't be able to reap any benefits." Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has gone to the palace this time, and she doesn't know when she will be able to come back. ”

Cui Qiao blinked, and boldly continued: "Didn't you say that after the mansion is built, let Her Royal Highness the eldest princess move over and raise it?" ”

Lao Wen gave her a "hello innocent" look back.

The little agent also smashed his mouth and shook his head again and again.

"Slave, slave said the wrong thing?" Cuiqiao's little face turned red, and she looked at Pei Jinyao helplessly.

Pei Jinyao smiled at her and said soothingly, "It's not all wrong. Anyone who doesn't know the inside story thinks so. But few people would have thought that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was ill out of time. ”

Lao Wen bowed his head, "That's right. When she was in Liaodong, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess attached great importance to Miss Xu Er. However, Miss Xu Er never forgot Liu Shizi. After returning to Beijing, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had close contacts with the daughters of the Xu family. I really want to get married. But how could Your Majesty let the generals be used by other countries. Maybe Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is angry with Her Majesty because of this. ”

The news obtained by the little secret agent was more conclusive than Lao Wen, "Before Her Royal Highness the eldest princess fell ill, she went to Xiyan Palace. ”

"Xiyan Palace...... Did she offend Yeonmi? Lao Wen's expression was solemn, "I can't imagine that Your Majesty loves Yan Meiren so much." ”

Cui Qiao and Banxia listened to the clouds in the fog, what Xiyan Palace, what Yan beauty. Aren't you talking about the eldest princess?

"Moreover, I heard the fifth master say......" The little secret agent lowered his voice and leaned forward, "Your Majesty intends to set up a guard in the capital of Dongzhen Wang. After saying that, he ran to the stove to serve dumpling soup.

Lao Wen's face changed slightly, and the hand holding the glass wine cup tightened.

Pei Jinyao said in a deep voice: "In this way, the eldest princess is not sick. ”

"If the Duhu Prince wants to live, don't make trouble, otherwise he will ......" Lao Wen lowered his head and drank, and did not continue.

The little agent put the dumpling soup in Pei Jinyao's hand, "You can't eat it anymore, the little one has been counted for you, and you have eaten twenty-six." ”

Pei Jinyao took a sip of dumpling soup and sighed: "I have ordered forty of them." There are more than a dozen left. ”

The little agent hurriedly took the plate away, "You have to eat it and wrap it next time." How can you eat so much at one time, your stomach is your own, and it is uncomfortable to hold it up. ”

Cui Qiao and Banxia also followed suit.

Pei Jinyao put down the bamboo chopsticks in order to keep her ears clean, and looked at her small courtyard, "It's still not lively enough, it's more fun to raise a few rabbits to run around." ”

The little agent's eyes lit up, "Can you really raise it?" Wait for the little one to catch a nest while the Lord is hunting. ”

"Yes. But you have to be diligent and choose a variety of dishes. Otherwise, the rabbit will gnaw on your toes when there is no food to eat. ”

The little spy was not convinced, and muttered, "The magic messenger is scaring people again." The rabbit is very well-behaved and won't gnaw on my toes. ”

Cui Qiao doesn't like to listen to it, "Don't talk nonsense, our girl never bluffs!" ”

Pei Jinyao laughed.

……

Because Pei Jinyao was going to rest in the Shenji Division, the little spy and Lao Wen went back to the East Factory after dinner. When night fell, Pei Jinyao had no sleep, wearing a robe and dancing a sword in the courtyard. Cui Qiao opened her mouth wide and clapped her hands vigorously.

"The girl is awesome!"

Banxia boiled hot water in the stove and urged her to go back to the house to bathe.

Without waiting for Pei Jinyao to respond, I heard someone slamming the door, "Trouble...... It's a goblin! Divine Genius! Is the magic there? ”

Troublesome goblins?

Pei Jinyao took three steps and ran to open the door in two steps, and outside the door was a middle-aged man with a panicked face and sweating on his forehead. He was a little afraid to recognize Pei Jinyao at first glance, "Pei, is Pei a god trick?" ”

The little face in front of him, who looked to be at most twelve or thirteen years old, and his palm-sized face showed that his eyes were extraordinarily large and extraordinarily bright.

"It's me." Pei Jinyao put the peachwood sword behind his back, "Where is the goblin?" ”

"Crane Tower." He gestured and spoke incoherently, "The crying chickens and birds in it are like dead, dead people." Scared us out and ran away, and now there is no one on Suzaku Street. I came to the Shenji Division to report the news, it seems that someone else has gone to Pei's mansion. Something happened, and we don't know where to look for you. That goblin is very powerful, the gate of the Heming Tower is closed, and even if you have the courage to go up and bump into it, you can't open it. Do you want to go to the East Factory to call people? ”

If such a big thing happened, how could I hide it from Dongchang.

"No, I don't. Hurry home. I'll go to the Crane Tower right away. ”

The man stood at the door and was stunned for a while before running away.

Pei Jinyao went back to the study and took her things, and while walking out, she instructed Cui Qiao, "You two go back to the house first." ”

Banxia said: "The slave and maid will go with you." ”

Without waiting for Pei Jinyao to answer, the little secret agent and Lao Wen came, "The fifth master is waiting for you outside with someone." The little one has led you to a horse. ”

Jiang was fifty o'clock, and thirty or forty people were waiting outside. Seeing this, Banxia and Cui Qiao picked up and picked up together, ready to return to Pei's Mansion.

Pei Jinyao nodded, "Don't let the people from the East Factory enter the building." Send someone to get some doctors. As he spoke, he got on his horse and went straight to the Heming Tower.

……

Suzaku Street, which used to be lively, is quiet at this time.

The doors of the shops on both sides of the road were closed, and the ground was littered with flattened fruits, vegetable leaves, and pairs of shoes. Pei Jinyao sat on the horse, and the sound of the horse's hooves echoed in her ears.

A big yellow dog poked its head out of the alley, picked up the mandarin duck playing in the water belly pocket that landed in the corner, and wagged its tail happily. Just as he was about to sit down and rest, thirty or forty tall horses came up to him, and he was so frightened that he snorted twice and ran away with his tail between his legs. That belly pocket was reluctant to be thrown away, and it was bitten to death.

Pei Jinyao clenched the reins, and Jiang Wu hit the horse to her side, "That goblin has been in the Heming Tower for a while." Maybe the people inside are dead. Pei Shenji went to collect the corpse. We people in Dongchang are used to seeing this kind of scene. Pei Shenji just waited outside. ”

The little spy sent him a message and told them to wait outside the building. Why does the East Factory have to listen to the dispatch of the Shenji Division? They are not the crushing of the Divine Division. Jiang Wu wanted to get back to the field, and he spoke very politely.

Pei Jinyao glanced at him, "Can you open the door of Heming Tower?" ”

Jiang Wu looked at the brothers behind him, "There are many of us. "The implication is that so many people can't break a door?

Pei Jinyao turned the horse's head to get out of the way, "Okay." Since you say you can do it, then you go up. If His Majesty the Emperor were to inquire about this, I would tell the truth. Yue Qian Dai, Ji Sichen or something, Jiang Wuye can't afford it? Can the East Factory afford it? ”

Jiang Wu's face sank.

Pei Jinyao continued unhurriedly: "Since Dongchang can do what the gods can do, then Ming'er and Fifth Master Jiang will ask for rain for me." I'm still happy. ”

Jiang Wu stared at her, "You! ”

What are you? Jiang Wu didn't know either. Because before coming, Ming Kuang instructed him to obey the dispatch of Pei Shen's envoy. It was he who wanted to take credit. Unexpectedly, Pei Shenji made the little man not tall, and he was tough. That little mouth is like a crossbow arrow, and it can shoot people through it.

Seeing that there was still more than a zhang away from Heming Tower, Pei Jinyao turned over and dismounted, "Fifth Master Jiang is waiting here, the streets and streets are all watched, and the idlers are not allowed to come forward." ”

Jiang Wu snorted, "If Pei Shenji can't deal with it, he will shout." ”

Pei Jinyao raised her face and said very solemnly: "If I can't cope with it, you will go to Qingcheng to invite Lu Guoshi." Don't break in. Life is at stake, it's no joke. Anyway, regardless of whether Jiang Wu understood it or not, he slowly walked towards the gate of the Heming Tower.

The incident happened suddenly, and the front of the Heming Tower was more chaotic than elsewhere.

Handkerchiefs, towels and a large teapot with a crooked spout lay across the road. Pei Jinyao kicked the pot away and hit the wooden flagpole with a bang. The banner on the pole swung twice.

A vague black gas wafted out along the ash wooden door, mixed with an unpleasant smell of fishy smell and blood. Pei Jinyao took a deep breath and pushed the door, not moving.
