When Tao Yuan woke up, he heard a crisp chewing sound in his ears.

His mind was a little confused, and before he had time to start working in his mind, the spots of light that fell on his eyelids illuminated his mind into the same white expanse.

Her eyelashes trembled, her sore eyelids opened slightly, and she saw the curtain dangling overhead.

The curtain was shaking, and he seemed to be shaking.

The voice in his ears was still there, and it wasn't his delusion.

Where is this? Why is he here?

Tao Yuan began to comb through his memories with difficulty, his head hurt a little, he wanted to raise his hand to rub his eyes, and his body moved, only to find that his whole body was tied up and down, probably because he was tied up like this all night, although his consciousness was sleeping, his body was used to becoming stiff, so he didn't feel wrong for the first time when he woke up.

"Whew. Woo!! ”

Tao Yuan made a silent sound, his mouth was gagged, and there was no way to speak.

The memories of last night were instantly involved, he was choked by the throat, the poison sac was cut out, and he thought he was dead! But the other party doesn't seem to have any intention of killing him!

"Awake?"

A lazy young man's voice came from behind his head, and Tao Yuan had to turn his body sideways with all his might, and then raised his neck to look over to see the person sitting on the soft cushion behind him.

The man was nibbling on an apple, and had just eaten half of it, and his delicate black boots were on the cushion, and the whole person looked uninhibited and indulgent.

The voice Tao Yuan heard was just Jiang Tingye gnawing on apples at night.

"Woooooooooo

Tao Yuan's eyes widened desperately and twisted his body, looking very resistant but powerless.

Jiang Tingye irritably plucked his ears with his little thumb and sighed: "You save some effort." ”

When you get caught, do you still think you can do it by your own will?

If they don't spit out what they want, they can only live better than die, and it is impossible to find a good time at this time.

Tao Yuan naturally understood in his heart that when he saw Jiang Tingye, his whole body was completely cold.

He was not afraid that he would be punished, what he was afraid of was that once he left the palace, this group of people would follow him all the way to Concubine Xian.

Where is there such a skilled person in the palace?!

Not only did he capture him instantly, but he also knew so well that he was hiding the poison sac between his lips and teeth.

Tao Yuan couldn't think of any candidates, and looking at Jiang Tingye's figure, he was more like the 'little eunuch' who didn't catch up with him.

The rickety carriage walked comfortably, without the slightest sense of urgency to imprison the 'repeat offender', as if the boy in front of him was just out to relax, and there were only two boxes of delicate pastries on the car, and he was about to go to the spring Jiaoyuan slowly.

Rao traveled so leisurely, and in the time of a stick of incense, he reached his destination.

It seems that he has been in a coma for a longer time, and when he woke up, he should have been out of the palace for a long time.

When the carriage stopped, Jiang Tingye shook the apple core in his hand, and then lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

The curtain fell again in an instant, and Tao Yuan only had time to see the stone lion on the asphalt-colored steps, which was already running towards this side.

Jiang Tingye was telling someone outside what to say, Tao Yuan heard the little guy call 'Night Boy', his brain exploded, and he instantly shook his body in the carriage with a crazy impact.

He went to Meixi Palace!

Why did it appear in the carriage of the little son of the Jiang family today!

Wrong! What the hell went wrong!

What is the relationship between the Jiang family and the concubine of Mei Xi Palace?! Could it be that because of the death of the queen, the Jiang family directly joined forces with Dongshu and became traitors? !

All kinds of thoughts flew in Tao Yuan's mind, and his words and questions could not be answered after all, and it was destined to be impossible to pass on to Guo Zhenzhen's ears.

But he was not reconciled! He was unwilling to fall into the trap so unclearly, but he harmed his mother!

Tao Yuan's movement startled the horse, and the horse neighed, paced back and forth, and was firmly held and pacified by the coachman who drove the horse.

When the curtain was opened again, it was a cold-faced little guy who came up, he pulled a strip of black cloth to blindfold Tao Yuan's eyes, and then the carriage continued to move, Jiang Tingye crossed his arms and stared at the carriage to leave, Tao Yuan would enter the Prime Minister's Mansion in the most normal way, he would follow the carriage to the backyard and stop, there were countless vacant rooms in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was naturally more than enough to close a small guard.

How many such dog things are still hidden in the palace?

Jiang Tingye narrowed his eyes slightly, looking a little dangerous from the side, but soon he raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and when he turned around and walked inside, he had already returned to his usual appearance.

Jiang Yu didn't come back in the early morning, Jiang Tingye sent someone to find a plate, and put the dead fish in his arms that was about to smell into the plate.

After a night of tossing, the task was finally successfully completed.

Jiang Tingye stretched his waist and swaggered to take a bath and change clothes.

When he came out with everything packed, he remembered that he had been back for so long, and he hadn't seen where Ming Yuechen was.

Jiang Tingye turned his head and asked the little maid who followed him to serve tea: "What about Mingyuechen?" ”

The little girl didn't expect Gongzi to talk to herself, her little face turned red, and she even forgot the rules of replying: "Gongzi Ming went out." ”

Early in the morning, where is he going?

Jiang Tingye raised his eyebrows: "Within a few days of entering Beijing, he will have a good relationship?" ”

When these words were asked, where did the little girl know how to answer, and she stood a little embarrassed for a while, racking her brains and not knowing what Ye Gongzi meant by this.

However, Jiang Tingye reacted that his words were inappropriate, and when he saw that her tea had also been added, he waved her hand and asked her to go down: "It's okay, you go and get busy with yours." ”

The little girl was relieved, and after a long sigh of relief, she retreated.

He can't go out today, he has to wait here for Jiang Yu to come back, and it's time to go down, Jiang Ting is napping with his head in the night, as long as he encounters family affairs, he can rarely sit down.

When Jiang Ying came back, Jiang Tingye had already fallen asleep with her head back on the soft pillow, she went over lightly, ready to cover him with a blanket, and waited for him to sleep for a while.

Who knew that as soon as he got closer, Jiang Tingye opened his eyes suddenly.

Because I didn't sleep last night, I just closed my eyes a little and squinted for a while, and my eye sockets began to be bloodshot.

His eyes were red, but he immediately came to his senses, and sat up: "Sister Jiang, how are you back?" Do you know where the little guard came from? ”

Jiang Yu was stared at by him like this, and it was not easy to persuade him to go to sleep first, if this matter did not start and make him feel settled, it was estimated that this child would not be able to sleep steadily.

"I've checked, the file is seriously selected into the palace, his name is Tao Yuan, it's just an inferior guard, he mainly does patrol errands on weekdays, and the chores next to him are on the wheel, and he has to follow to do it, but it's inconspicuous, the person disappeared for a while and was not found, or Changzhong sent someone to ask, only to find that such a person was missing." Jiang Yu talked eloquently, and sneered when he talked about it, "It's very good at selecting people, with a mediocre appearance and introverted temperament, and he can't pick it out when he enters the crowd, the captain in charge of him in the guard camp said, Tao Yuan, who has been unable to hold back a fart for several days, is also so-so in doing things, it is really a little too inconspicuous, it is such an inconspicuous little guard, and his light skills are very good." ”

"It's hidden." Jiang Tingye also thought about it after listening to it, the master behind him drowned him in the sea of people, so that it was convenient to act without attracting the attention of the people around him, if Qi Ying hadn't taken him down with his own hands last night, I was afraid that if he wanted to find this person again, it would be a needle in the bottom of the sea.

"The superfluous thing in the palace is that I can't find anything, Tao Yuan is low-key and secretive, he has almost never shown his edge in front of people, he has such kung fu, and it is impossible for people to see which palace he is in and out of, he has not returned to the camp Changzhong has been properly suppressed, no one will ask, if you want to check down, you can only start from Tao Yuan before entering the palace." Jiang Yi was well organized, and the next step had already been decided.

This matter is not urgent, but he is not afraid of startling the snake.

In any case, the spies sent out last night failed to return smoothly, and the people behind the scenes already knew that the matter had been revealed.

The only thing that is beneficial to them now is that no one knows whether Tao Yuan is dead or alive.

I don't know what Tao Yuan saw and what he met.

Unknowns and suspicions will itch to death in the heart, and the more you scratch silently, the more you will make yourself a blur of flesh and blood.

No matter how the other party does not move on the surface, the waves are not alarmed, and the wind and rain surging in private will be crazy and wanton.

It's a wolf-hare-hunting chase.

Even if the cunning rabbit has three holes, there must be a time when it will come to the end.

A clever hunter hunts his prey, and does not have to completely expose himself or exhaust himself from the pursuit, he only needs to alarm the prey to run towards the preset trap at any time.

Prey that is not in a panic will always fall into the trap by itself.

And what Jiang Yu is going to play now is the hunter who alarms the prey.

The weapon in her hand is Tao Yuan.

After listening to Jiang Ying's words, Jiang Tingye immediately said that he would also help investigate this matter, and after getting Jiang Ying's affirmative answer, he grinned, looking like a child was as happy as candy.

With this matter settled, Jiang Tingye was really in a good mood, and just wanted to think about what he should do next, when he suddenly smelled the smell of fishy fish coming from the other side of the table.

He patted his head: "Look at my memory!" ”

After that, he hurriedly went to the ground, and ran over to bring the plate over: "Sister Jiang, look, this is the fish you asked me to bring back, and the taste is a little big. ”

Jiang Ying didn't react much, she smelled it as soon as she entered the room.

She took out the handkerchief in her sleeve and shook it, wrapped her fingers and turned the fish to look at it for a while, her brow gradually furrowed.

Jiang Tingye put his hands on the table and led her to look at it, and said anxiously: "How is it?" Is there something wrong with this fish? ”

Jiang Yu looked at it for a while, then put the handkerchief aside and raised his eyes.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she still shook her head: "I don't see any problems, this is the most common fish in the Huai River, called azure, because it is the same color as the water of the Huai River, and because of the azure scales, it is a fish that can be both ornamental and edible." ”

Jiang Tingye was disappointed, although he didn't see anything wrong after dissecting one indiscriminately last night, but even Jiang Yu said the same, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration.

He rolled over and lay down on his back again, rubbing his hair irritably.

Seeing Jiang Ting's eyes closed at night to recuperate, Jiang Ying returned his gaze to the blue fish.

Jiang Wan's several war horses in the past were personally taken care of and fed by Guo Zhenzhen, and the grass nourished by the Huai River water was particularly delicious, so whenever she had time, Guo Zhenzhen would take the horse to the Huai River, and it was understandable that she would favor the herring.

Maybe this is just a memory that Guo Zhenzhen wants to treasure in her heart, after all, except for herself, no one knows what happened on the banks of the Huai River that is worth her unforgettable.

However, the matter is still inconclusive.

After Jiang Yu covered Jiang Tingye with a blanket, she brought the plate back to the table outside, so that Jiang Tingye could rest for a while, her important guest had not yet arrived.

However, this 'guest' did not let Jiang Yu wait too long, she had just taken care of two official matters in the study, and Yibo came to inform her that the person had arrived.

It was not too far from the study to the bedroom, Jiang Yu went to the lobby first to bring people over, and when he entered the house, Jiang Ting was still asleep at night, his breathing was a little heavy, and his head was crooked and he almost fell, startled.

Jiang Ying and the others sat down at the table, and when they saw that Jiang Tingye had woken himself up, they called him with a smile: "Tingye, come here." ”

Jiang Ting was very tired at night, and when he heard Jiang Ying calling him, he still held on to his spirit and looked over.

At this glance, he found that Ming Yuechen had also come back, sitting next to Jiang Yu, and Yin Zhengshan was still sitting next to the two, and the three of them were looking at themselves together.

Co-authored Mingyuechen went out early in the morning, did he go to invite Yin Zhengshan?

Jiang Tingye raised his hand and rubbed his face, and took two quick steps to the table and sat down.

The four of them sat on one side and surrounded the fish in front of them.

Jiang Yu looked at Yin Zhengshan: "Imperial Doctor Yin, please examine it carefully and see if there is anything wrong with this fish." ”

Yin Zhengshan bowed his head, knowing that this matter was related to the queen's mother, so he was extremely cautious.

He set up his medicine box and began to take out all the tools he had brought with him and began to examine them.

Ming Yuechen's eyes also fell on this fish, and he stared at this azure fish with a thoughtful look.

Soon, Ming Yuechen's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, he pursed his lips, raised his eyes and quickly glanced at the remaining three, they all looked intently at the movements of Yin Zhengshan's hands, he didn't seem to be speaking well at this time, Ming Yuechen immediately pressed himself, and also looked at Yin Zhengshan silently, waiting for Yin Zhengshan's result.

This is a long wait, because all aspects have to be checked in place, so during the period, the process of dissecting the azure fish has been experienced, until Yin Zhengshan is sweating profusely, and it is considered that all the inspections are completed.

When Yin Zhengshan came back from his concentration and raised his hands to wipe his sweat and raise his eyes, he was really frightened by the three pairs of expectant eyes that looked at him.

Especially Jiang Tingye, who held back for a long time, stared at his red eyes, and couldn't stop as soon as he opened his mouth: "How is it?" Did you find out what's going on? I guess this fish must have carried a particularly precious poison! Ordinary people can't find out! And then this poison can kill people invisibly, you see I guessed right? ”

Yin Zhengshan was embarrassed: "Ye Gongzi, there is no such outrageous poison in the world, if there is really one, there will be symptoms in the body after taking it, more or less, light or severe, and it may also be disguised in the symptoms of the side, of course, there are also a very small number of precious poisons that will not appear on the surface of the body, but as long as the necropsia with a silver needle or other tools, the toxicity can still be found, if you want to be truly 'invisible', as far as I know, there is no such poison in the world." ”

For example, the precious poison that Jiang Wan took when she committed suicide will not be manifested on her body.

But this kind of thing usually works very quickly, and will attack in the shortest time to alleviate the pain of death, and it is both invisible and chronic, which is too terrible.

was vetoed by Yin Zhengshan, Jiang Tingye was not annoyed: "Then tell me, what did you find out?" I worked so hard to bring this fish out of the palace! ”

Yin Zhengshan tugged at the corners of his mouth.

This master, I am afraid that you have some misunderstanding of the four words of hard work.

However, Yin Zhengshan didn't dare to dismantle Jiang Tingye's platform, he glanced at the azure fish in front of him who tried to keep it as it was, and only opened a small mouth to take the internal organs, and his expression became solemn: "Prime Minister, Ye Gongzi, Zhengshan is really limited in ability, he has exhausted what he has learned all his life, and he can't find anything wrong with this fish, it... It's just a normal azure fish... ”

"What?!" Jiang Tingye stood up abruptly and almost overturned the table.

It was Jiang Yu who dragged him, so this kid didn't jump up.

Jiang Zhen is very calm, now he is just looking for something that may become a clue, anything may be strange, anything may be normal, it seems that there is no big problem with the fish raised by Guo Zhenzhen.

This line is broken, and the other way is that they were originally groping in the dark.

Jiang Yu was about to open his mouth to comfort Yin Zhengshan, but Ming Yuechen, who had been sitting next to him waiting for Yin Zhengshan to say his conclusion, suddenly took over: "Prime Minister, this fish. . . There's a catch. ”

As soon as Ming Yuechen's words came out, Jiang Tingye immediately came to his senses again: "What's the problem?!" Say it quickly! ”

Jiang Yu and Yin Zhengshan also looked at him.

Ming Yuechen pondered for a while, and after taking one last look at the azure fish to confirm, he said seriously: "This azure fish is a male fish. ”

Jiang Yu was stunned: "Male fish? Is there something wrong? ”

Ming Yuechen raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yu: "There are not many azure fish in the Huai River, although the scales of this fish are quite good-looking, but now the people who choose ornamental fish are still few who will choose the blue fish to feed, one is that the blue fish has a wide range of activities, and the other is that this kind of fish is larger than the ornamental fish next to it, this fish is nothing in the palace, but ordinary people, no one will raise it." ”

Jiang Zhen bowed, Ming Yuechen was right, and part of the reason why she was suspicious of Guo Zhenzhen's fish was because of this.

"In addition, although the blue fish is delicious, but the quantity is insufficient, so in fact, the people of the Nine Immortals and even the fishermen do not like to catch and eat the blue fish, and there are countless fish species that are more delicious than the blue fish, so the blue fish has never been the first choice and necessary food for the people of the Nine Immortals, and when they arrived in the imperial capital, they have never heard of the blue fish, and the people who want to come to the palace to know this fish are only the ladies from the nine immortals in the palace." Ming Yuechen continued, speaking of this, Jiang Yu also nodded approvingly, for some concubines who have never been to the banks of the Huai River, they may not recognize it.

Only Guo Zhenzhen was nostalgic and kept this fish within the palace walls.

"The small number of blue fish is because of the males."

"Out of a hundred blue fish, there may only be one male." Ming Yuechen raised his hand and pointed to the fish on the plate in front of him, "Because the blue fish is actually a hermaphroditic fish before it becomes an adult, it is not difficult for them to grow to a large enough size to survive, but they often have to follow the Huai River to the south for hundreds of miles to find another food, just to select the king of fish in this batch of fish." ”

"King of Fish?!" Jiang Tingye frowned, "This kind of fish still behaves like this?" It sounds like an offering. ”

"It can be said to be an offering." Ming Yuechen's expression had never been so serious, "The food they are looking for for the 'King of Fish' is carrion, and the 'King of Fish' who eats enough carrion will lose their female organs and become the only male fish in this batch of azure fish." ”

This is the real reason for the low number of blue fish.

If you can't find enough carrion, a certain group of azure fish in a 'group' will lose the ability to reproduce.

And now there's this one on the table.

It's a male of a blue fish!

Jiang Tingye gasped when he heard this, and looked back at the dead fish on the plate on the table.

What the hell did Guo Zhenzhen raise in that pool of water?!
