Pan Ting, who entered the palace early in the morning, was extremely helpless to report to Emperor Yongxi: "General He is extremely strict. Enhe, the messenger from Beidi, and the eunuch Jia Gonggong, who was specially sent by His Majesty, were guarding in front of the princess's door, and the ministers really couldn't find a gap. ”

"That inn doesn't have a back door? That house doesn't have a back window? You're not a clever excuse! Emperor Yongxi looked at him coldly.

Pan Ting kowtowed with a bitter face: "Although the minister really wants to hide it for the lord of Lizhu County, but since His Majesty asked, the minister will tell the truth." As soon as the minister handed over with the family sending team, the eldest princess over there took the men's clothes that had been prepared and prepared to escape.

But Lord Lizhu seems to have expected that the eldest princess would make this trip, so he ordered someone to wait at the back window. The man not only knocked the eldest princess unconscious, but also fed her an unknown piece of food into it.

"The Jia Liu beside the eldest princess, before setting off with the team, had seen the big palace maid next to the lord of Lizhu County. Although it may be because they once knew each other, they didn't send each other away, but it's hard to say if the county lord gave Jia Liu something.

Now that someone has directly drugged the eldest princess, the minister thought, but he was afraid that what Jia Liu was holding in his hand was the antidote. If the eldest princess follows the rules, I am afraid that this antidote will be distributed on time; But if the eldest princess wants to do something, it depends on what the Jia Gong Guild does. ”

Emperor Yongxi listened attentively and couldn't help asking, "What do you think Jia Liu would do if Jingyi messed around?" ”

Pan Ting hesitated for a while, and Fang said in a low voice: "Father-in-law Jia, I heard that he is quite decisive. ”

Decisive?

That is to say, ruthless?

Emperor Yongxi was silent, and after a while, Fang sighed and waved his hand: "It's not a crime of war." General He is not easy to mess with, and Lizhu's friends in the rivers and lakes are only afraid that it will be more difficult. If you really make a hard move, I'm afraid you will be embellished by him to show your true face, which is troublesome. Alright, that's it, let's go down. ”

Pan Ting hesitated for a while, knelt firmly, kowtowed again, and said in a low voice: "The minister is incompetent." If Mr. Yan comes to make trouble again, it is better to send him to the minister's house, and the minister has prepared the thorns, and the old man will have a seizure. ”

"What are you? Can he mess with you? Now that the Pear Blossom Hall has Lizhu Town, he doesn't dare to make trouble for the Queen Mother, where else can he go except here? Emperor Yongxi straightened his face again and drove him impatiently: "Let's go!" Don't let me change my mind! ”

Pan Ting kowtowed again and silently retreated.

And the "decisive" Jia Liu in his mouth was staying by the bedside of Nan Chen, who had been changed back into women's clothes and was still in a coma, looking at that delicate face indifferently, with hatred flashing in his eyes.

"Hmm......" Nan Chen frowned slightly, his eyelashes trembled, and then slowly opened his eyes, "I'm ......"

Jia Liu stood up, put his hands in his sleeves, bowed slightly to her, and said lightly: "You want to escape in disguise, but you were knocked unconscious." ”

Nan Chen's face was full of horror, he sat up, stretched out his hand to cover his neck, and said in a lost voice: "He also forced me to take a pill!" ”

"Yes. The man left a letter from the Lord of Lizhu to you. The villain took it apart to tell you that this is a poison that occurs at regular intervals. If you keep your word, someone will naturally offer the antidote. If you're not keeping your word, that's whatever you want. ”

Jia Liu lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, his expression, voice, and emotions were very calm.

Nan Chen trembled and bent his knees, hugged himself, and asked with a crying voice: "Where is the letter?" Give me! ”

Jia Liu didn't speak, his hand was taken out of his sleeve, and the letter he was holding was handed to her.

Nan Chen shook his hands and unfolded the letter, with only a few words on it: "Keep your word, there is an antidote." Otherwise, you try. Looking at these words, Nan Chen cried out loud, and the pain was extremely painful.

But this cry didn't move Jia Liu at all, he just carefully pulled the letter out of Nan Chen's hand, and lit it on the candle that had not yet been extinguished.

Nan Chen bit his lip and sobbed as he raised his eyes to look at the letter that quickly burned to ashes, his face was full of resentment, and he gritted his teeth and whispered: "The antidote is in your hands, isn't it?!" You dog! Shen Lizhu's leper dog by my side! ”

"Not really. The county lord was worried that you would harm me, so he deliberately didn't let me take the antidote. When the antidote comes, I will be alive, and I will give it to you. If I have a broken arm or leg, then you don't have to think about the antidote. That's it. ”

Jia Liu said lightly, and then owed a debt: "Since you are awake, the villain will retire for the time being, and let the palace maid serve you to freshen up." The guard of honor outside has been prepared, and we are about to set off. ”

"I, I'm hurt! Do you want to leave in such a hurry? Let me rest a little longer! Nan Chen shouted with a crying voice.

Jia Liu straightened up, and the deference that was still perfunctory on his face just now had all turned into disgust and contempt, and his voice was no longer half polite: "I have left the capital." You'd better be in peace. Don't let me say nasty things in front of the maids. After all, I've been holding those words in my heart for eight years. ”

Nan Chen looked at him in horror, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't say a word.

The team set off smoothly as if nothing had happened last night.

The detailed news was quickly sent to Ewhada.

Shen Shen listened to Aunt Shan's whispered report, sighed softly, and shook his head: "Why is she suffering?" Jia Liuman was looking forward to her death, so that he could kill her with one sword. Doesn't she understand? ”

Aunt Shan was startled, glanced at Shen Shen, hurriedly lowered her head again, and then quietly bowed back and left.

Looking back at the direction of the main hall, Shen Shen hesitated for a moment and decided not to tell the news to the Empress Dowager Shen.

After all, there has been news from the Xuanzheng Palace, and this morning, the Ministry of Rites, the Imperial Shitai and the Guozijian can almost be regarded as a joint name, urging Emperor Yongxi to choose immediately.

Emperor Yongxi sent the news to the Pear Flower Hall and the Qingning Hall respectively.

When Empress Dowager Shen heard the news, she nodded again and again with a smile on her face, and when the person who reported the news left, she stood up and said that she wanted to go back and lie down.

"Why don't you go and see the Queen?" Youxin walked over from behind and brought her a cup of tea.

Shen Shen took the tea, took a sip, looked at the teacup, shook his head and sighed: "Once it comes to selection, the first thing the imperial sister-in-law must do is the two people in Yijiatang. How can I have the face to look at her now? ”

"But once the selection comes, I don't know how many people will enter the palace to share favors, maybe the status of the queen mother has been stabilized?" He whispered.

Shen Shen shook his head again and again: "The imperial sister-in-law never wanted any status, she only wanted the heart of the imperial brother." After a pause, he hesitated again, "However, perhaps, after this year, the imperial sister-in-law will have other ideas for the sake of Meng'er, and I can't say for sure." ”
