Forty-five Self-defeating

The white layers are stacked on top of each other, hanging in the lintels everywhere, if the snow has not melted.

The funeral of the three princes is still in front of us, and now, the queen of Zhaoqing Hall has stopped for three days, and the mother of a country has driven the sky, and the whole country mourns, starting from today's mourning.

And the second prince, who has not been breathing for a long time, has already stopped in the side hall of Zhaoqing Palace. The two funerals collided in one place, telling a naughty joke, but it was also convenient for everyone to pay homage and mourn together.

Before the second prince went, he began to stiffen, and then gradually his breath weakened, and the whole person was as hideous and deformed as if he fell into a swamp quagmire, and when he completely lost his breath, his body was already hard like a puppet.

At that time, when I went to the dining room to arrest all the people involved in the case, I found that the cook of this "lotus cut fish" had died, and the death was the same as that of the second prince, and they were all stiff.

The little apprentice of this chef trembled in front of the emperor and said: "The master found a few different river fresh products in the latest batch of seasonal parallel goods. Because the second prince loves to eat fish, there is a cut fish on the menu of Zhaoqing Hall today. The master said that he saw that the meat of this fish was fresh and tender, and it was a new tribute from elsewhere, so he chose two to come back and try it, and after slicing it, he also tried a few bites first. ”

"I, I, I watched from the side, the master wanted to taste it, but I didn't expect him to seem out of control, while sighing its freshness and slippery, the chopsticks did not leave his hand. This, this eaten part, had to be filled with other sea fish, and there was a two-color and Tilian. Later, the servant came out of the kitchen and went to cook the food of Zhang Luo's inner service, and came back after a stick of incense, only to find that the master had fallen in his compartment. ”

The emperor's eyes were about to pop out: "What kind of fish is that?" ”

The frightened little cook kowtowed: "The back is yellow and the belly is white, and sometimes it bulges into a ball." As for the name, the minions don't know! The master also said that it was the first time he saw it, because it was mixed with ordinary river fresh, how would he have thought that it was poisonous, and I hope that the sage will see it! ”

"Check! Keep checking it out! ”

After turning it over and over again, he brought out Cen Qi, the chief chef who was responsible for receiving this batch of parallel goods, and he also confessed that it was no different from usual, and it was checked according to the order list, and there were three reviews of it, and there would be no mistakes.

Cen Qi also said: "Enlightened sage, this fish is called Dongying wax head on the manifest. ”

……

In my memory, it was obvious that this thing was arranged by Lu Youming, and it should be taken over by Bai Xiaozhi of the dining room outsourcing department. What went wrong in the middle that caused this highly poisonous fish to go off the official road?

Originally, if no one intervened, it would not flow directly into the dining tables of the nobles of the palaces. You must know that Bai Xiaozhi's things will only be sold to officials and servants everywhere.

The emperor and the concubine bowed on a high seat, and the interrogation and torture were carried out together.

I stood behind the concubine and felt dizzy, and the terrible screams after the torture came one after another, but the confessions I gave were always very ordinary and had no new meaning.

Claiming over and over again that it is the same job process as usual, but I don't know why there is a big mistake.

I listened to these words from the sidelines, not sad, not laughing, only ironic. I have seen those river fresh ponds from afar, they are located in the courtyard of the dining room warehouse, and the management is quite strict, and non-related personnel still need to be approached with waist cards.

The fresh fish and shrimp in those pools are often cooked after a while, so the pools are all open in the open air, row upon row, is it not an afternoon of heavy rain, so that those pools are flooded, causing these fish to be in a good mood, casually visiting the door, jumping to other people's houses?

Such a nonsensical answer suddenly poured into my heart, if the whole thing is deduced according to my heart, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to steal the chicken.

It's ridiculous.

In addition, Wu Zhaorong's safety can be regarded as a red light.

Hearing that the war in the northwest is still tight, the weapon "Mo Dao" developed by Wu Zhaorong has been tested and put on the front line.

In the end, she was meritorious in the war, not to mention that having her stay in the palace was also a kind of balance and alliance for the Northwest Wu clan.

As for getting rid of her, it is obvious that it will do more harm than good to the emperor, but people can't understand it.

The funeral has been completed, according to the Zhao various vassal kings should enter Beijing on time before the ceremony, and there must be no mistake.

Ten days later, it will be a "big burial", and three days later, it will be a "finished service". On the day of the service, the ministers mourned and obeyed, and the class was comforted.

As mentioned earlier, the emperor is the only son left by the emperor. And the only clan vassal king, the emperor's uncle, is Li Can, the king of the northern realm. The so-called northern border, also known as the surrendered city.

The rest belong to our Southern Zhou Dynasty, belong to military meritorious vassals or local forces, there are Baiyue Prefecture in the south, and the Lanqiang people in the west.

I flipped through the map and stared at Lanqiang's territory for a long time. Next to it, not far away, is the Liangsu County that I miss in my heart.

I hope that when King Lanqiang enters Beijing, he can take Daddy with him along the way! Although we haven't met in this time and space, we are close relatives who can rely on each other (in fact, I want to rely on them more)!

Forget it, let's fantasize and daydream first.

I rubbed my head and wondered if I should write a letter with Daddy. At this time, there must be a lot of carriages and horses coming to Beijing from various official posts, and maybe they can really come by hitchhiking. Who said that daydreams can't be fought for~

It's just that as soon as I picked up the pen, I put it down again. There are some pimples in my heart, what kind of appearance and temperament my "father" has, and I don't know anything about my memories with him. When we really met, it is even more unknown whether this old man can withstand the "amnesia" of my eldest girl. If I get excited again, think of the silly girl with amnesia who will not be able to marry in the future, and so on, the anxiety of being a parent, and the unstable blood pressure, wouldn't I be a great sin......

I want to see it but I don't dare to see it, and my heart is tormented.

When he was hesitant, he was even more bored in his hands, so he spread out the rice paper and scribbled on it, hoping to draw an answer.

Inadvertently, a sentence sounded behind him: "In another ten days, I am afraid that the girl's life will be difficult to protect, but at this moment, there is still leisure to draw peach charms here?" ”

I was surprised: "Huh? ”

I saw that Wu Zhaorong was amethyst again, and his head looked like a headdress made of purple tiger parrot feathers, and he was dressed up on a delicate back-to-heart bun, which was very good-looking.

Her mouth grease is also slightly purple in the powder, and Yingying smiled, with some elegance and unpredictability.

When I was full of doubts, my expression unconsciously raised my eyebrows, and the tail of my eyebrows retreated, probably a little innocent, so whenever they saw my expression, they would always be a little kind.

"Scaring you?"

I returned: "Zhaorong, you are here, Qingluan Palace can also come in at will?" ”

She had already sat down across from my desk: "Ahem, the concubine is not here for a while, and I can't get through to your room yet?" In the end, this palace is also a second-class Zhaorong. ”

I whispered silently: "Zhaorong Niangniang, what did you mean by what you just said?" ”

Her neck tilted slightly, and she looked at me sideways: "Even I suspect that the queen's death came from you, so what about the Northern Realm King's line?" When the time comes, his son will rush to the capital with tens of thousands of troops to ask for an explanation for the queen, what should you do? ”

I wanted to say that I had been instructed by the emperor, but I moved my mouth and swallowed the words. In the end, Wu Zhaorong is a special existence, she has always been neutral from God's perspective, but it has also made it more and more difficult for me to trust her completely. If you keep your mouth shut, you will inevitably have to do so.

Seeing that I was silent, she continued: "This palace knows that if no one secretly supports you, your crying and mourning in Zhaoqing Hall will be too arrogant. Hurry to tell the whole world that it is the queen who ordered you to leave the palace. Naturally, in the eyes of some people, it can be regarded as a key point to remove suspicion. But here in this palace, I always feel a little bit of a desire to cover up. ”

Her eyebrows are already high, and when she picks them now, she looks quite strong: "You think, if someone wants to borrow your mouth to tear your mouth and find a reason to start the war." So, the person behind you, or the left minister, or the emperor, or which master I can't guess, will probably choose to take care of the overall situation and not care about Qingqing's life? ”

I flatly denied it: "Zhaorong Niangniang thinks too much. How can the minister have the ability, and he has no guts to harm the queen. ”

She stood up and said leisurely: "I just think that you have no roots and sprouts in your heart, and you should be one of the few people in this palace who is worthy of my trust." Therefore, I will also exchange courtesies and tell you what I think. Whether to adopt it or not is still up to the girl to decide. With the ability of this palace, if this matter comes true, it will not be able to protect the girl, so it can only be reminded a little. ”

She looked at me levelly, and I was still silent, so she didn't get a response. She sighed and turned to leave.

I saluted behind her back: "Xiaochen respectfully sends Zhaorong Niangniang, thank Niangniang for her care." ”

She flicked her sleeves, stepped over the threshold quickly, and left with a hint of anger.

At this moment, it occurred to me that the only evidence that the queen's death pointed to me was the iron hooks the size of a few grains of rice that remained in her body.

If you look at it from outside the body, you will never know about it. If the Northern King clan is fighting to damage the phoenix body, how about asking for an autopsy?

Or, a few years later, the queen's body turned into a white bone, so won't the iron hook in her belly reappear again?

No, I'll have to figure it out. If you don't take the iron hook, it is a hidden danger after all.

And I, naturally, thought of my "divine beast" - sweet cat.

On the night when I was trapped in the Silk Courtyard in the snowy weather, I made an agreement with Sweet Cat that if we wanted to meet, I would ring twelve bells in the open area, and she appeared.

She listened to me and said yes with a "meow". Presumably, the distance is not difficult for her at all, I speculate that the palace garden north of the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial Palace, the North Garden, is now as big as a little lion's sweet cat, occupying the mountain as the king.

Speaking of which, I have some emotion, if it weren't for the carriage coming back from the Prime Minister's Mansion that was too tightly guarded and sent me straight to the palace gate, I originally planned to go to Beiyuan on purpose.

The meeting in the palace, with caution, had to end in a hurry.

Besides, if it weren't for the last resort, I'd rather she didn't show up in the crowd again.

Everyone is a hunter.
