A series of things hit Zhao Wenlu, making him feel more and more that all the people around him were not very friendly to him.

Even the ministers of civil and military affairs, who were important to him, began to slowly approach Zhao Wenluo and Dongfang Yi.

In particular, Dongfang Yi has been appreciated by the old emperor several times, and they are more inclined to Dongfang Yi.

Zhao Wenluo and Dongfang Yi are good friends, this is something that everyone knows, but he has not been able to get a reply from currying favor with Nalan Mansion several times, and he is even a little hot, and his face is cold to the ass.

This made Zhao Wenlu's heart slowly distort, and even wanted to forcibly intervene in Nalan Mansion through some extraordinary means.

When Zhao Wenlu heard that the relationship between Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi was not alienated by the destruction of the peony, his heart was constantly burning like a fire.

He even began to wonder if the peony was perfunctory to him?

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? What are the consequences of fooling this king? Do you know? Zhao Wenluo threatened the spies.

"Don't dare to deceive the prince, all the people in this world can see it, if I don't believe it, you can send other spies to investigate, and you will find out if you ask." The spy looked down and replied.

"Get out!"

Zhao Wenlu clenched his fists angrily, just snorted very lowly, and let the spies leave in fright. His low roar was like a landslide cracking the ground, ready to bring incalculable disaster.

Deceive this king!

It's all about scheming with this king!

Zhao Wenlu gritted his teeth and gnashed his teeth, and the words of the peony continued to blow into his ears like the wind. Her eloquent assurances pale in the face of the moment.

Instead, Zhao Wenlu thought that Peony was deceiving him.

He can understand that the civil and military officials deceived him, and the businessmen lied to him, so it is not surprising that he thinks about his own interests from the perspective of personal interests.

But Peony's deception of Zhao Wenlu made him puzzling.

After thinking about it, Zhao Wenlu couldn't swallow the evil breath in his heart, so he asked Peony to ask what happened?

"Lord Wang." The maid of the Peony Garden saluted.

"Get out! Don't come in whatever you hear, or the king will want your head. Zhao Wenlu shouted back from the maid.

The maid had long been accustomed to Zhao Wenlu's temper, so when he shouted to stop, the maid left the Peony Garden as quickly as possible.

Peony heard Zhao Wenlu's voice in the house, and thought that it must be because of Nalan Jin's matter, and when he was stomping around the house, he saw Zhao Wenlu breaking in.

"Master!" Peony was startled, "Why are you so angry, it doesn't matter if the door is broken, be careful of hurting your body." ”

Peony was as gentle as water, and walked over to help Zhao Wenlu sit down, but he didn't expect to be thrown away by him.

"Don't pretend with me here, what's going on with Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi, didn't you say that someone has been sent to sabotage? Why did the spies tell me they were fine, like no one? ”

Zhao Wenlu pointed to her nose and questioned Peony, she knew that she would definitely not be able to escape this time, which angered Zhao Wenlu.

"Master, have a cup of tea and dissipate your anger." Peony still smiled, "Actually, things have almost gone on, Shen Caiyi is a fool, she is not cautious, she didn't succeed in the end when she drugged her, but cheapened Nalan Jin and his wife." ”

Peony pushed everything onto Shen Caiyi, and pretended to be a victim, crying aggrievedly in front of Zhao Wenlu.

"Enough! This king doesn't want to hear it, this matter will be solved by this king personally, as for you, it's good to do it yourself. Zhao Wenlu turned his head to look at Peony in disappointment, and then left.

Peony originally wanted to keep Zhao Wenlu, but seeing his angry appearance, he had to endure it for the time being.

Seeing that Zhao Wenlu is like giving up on peonies, he no longer trusts her, which is not a good sign if he continues like this. Her purpose has not yet been achieved, so she must not lose the big tree of Zhao Wenlu.

The only way to get Zhao Wenlu's trust again and make her valuable again is to help Zhao Wenlu get Nalan Jin's help as soon as possible.

So, Peony stared at Shen Caiyi again.

Shen Caiyi saw that he couldn't get the drug, so he thought of other ways to get close to Dongfang Yi.

However, Shen Caiyi's clumsy appearance had long been seen by Dongfang Yi, and he remained silent and quietly paid attention to her every move in secret.

What always made Dongfang Yi wonder was that it was obvious that he and Nalan Jin had drunk, but in the end, he was the only one who had something to do.

Everything was checked that night and nothing unusual was found, only the wine that went wrong.

Dongfang Yi turned over and over with the wine jug, he couldn't see anything unusual, and when he was wondering, Dongfang Qi came in to play with Dongfang Yi and accidentally knocked the wine jug to the ground.

The mechanism inside the jug also fell out.

"Qi'er, it's getting more and more disagreeable, there are no rules at all." Dongfang Yi was angry and taught Dongfang Qi.

"I'm sorry, Dad, I'll pick it up and give it back to you." Dongfang Qi obediently apologized.

Dongfang Yi looked at the wine jug on the ground and seemed to have discovered the mystery in it, "Qi'er, don't move!" Cui'er took Qi'er out to play, and called someone over by the way. ”

"Yes, uncle, little master, I will accompany you to the garden to play."

Cui'er left with Dongfang Qi, and after a while, Dongfang Yi's henchmen came over, looking at the wine jug on the ground and was very curious.

"Mandarin duck pot! I've only heard about it before, but I didn't expect to see it here. The henchman curiously picked up the flask and looked at it.

"What do you mean?" Dongfang Yi didn't understand a little.

"This is called a mandarin duck pot, it looks similar to an ordinary wine jug, but the medicine is hidden in the center of the jug, and it will come out as long as the mechanism is pressed, so people who don't usually know it will not be poisoned. It's just that this kind of wine jug generally only appears in the palace, how can it come to the mansion? ”

The henchman is like discovering a new continent, his face is full of curiosity and surprise. But Dongfang Yi's expression was a little dignified.

Listening to what her henchmen said, this wine pot was brought over by Shen Caiyi, could it be that she colluded with the people in the palace?

"Don't tell anyone about it." Dongfang Yi thought about it and explained to his henchmen.

"Don't worry, I understand." The henchman nodded.

Dongfang Yi began to keep Shen Caiyi in secret, and sent people to pay close attention to her every move, especially with people from the outside world, and be sure to find out the details.

Although the old emperor's physical condition has slowly settled down, the partisan strife in the court is still quietly going on.

Nalan Mansion was already on the cusp at this time, and if it was found out at this time, someone in the mansion would collude with the palace people.

It is bound to make some people with a heart make a big fuss, and then Nalan Mansion will be in a big disaster.

It is always not Dongfang Yi's will to watch in the court, otherwise with his strength, he would not be just a small person.

Dongfang Yi prefers to do business than being an official.

During this time, Dongfang also thought a lot, now that he has the emperor as a backer, he is ready to expand his business territory and make the business of the workshop bigger and stronger as much as possible.

With nothing to do, Dongfang Yi sorted out some people he knew in the business field and prepared to redivide them according to their different business paths.

"I don't know what I'm talking about, is Shopkeeper Li interested in participating?" Dongfang Yi Tea asked.

"Of course, the credibility of Nalan Mansion is undoubted, but everyone is a businessman, so I will open the skylight and speak brightly. Doing business is all for the purpose of making profits, and if you can't see good prospects, you naturally don't dare to make rash moves. Shopkeeper Li touched his beard and said sincerely.

"Dongfang understands, Shopkeeper Li doesn't need to reply to me in a hurry, wait until you think about it before we talk." Dongfang Yi knew in his heart that he was worried about leaving the shopkeeper, so he was not in a hurry to know his reply.

Unfortunately, when Dongfang Yi was about to leave, he was targeted by Zhao Wenlu's people and stirred up the situation.

", I told you a long time ago that you didn't want to do the business in the Western Regions, but you didn't listen, the idlers and miscellaneous people lost it, and my mother was still lying at home waiting for the money in a hurry." A woman was crying and making a fuss.

"I also listened to other people's advice, I knew that this was the case, I wouldn't do it if I was killed, and now I have lost all my capital, but how can I live?" The man was heartbroken and regretted.

The husband and wife hugged their heads and cried in front of the door of Shopkeeper Li, and what they talked about happened to be the plan that Dongfang Yi proposed to Shopkeeper Li just now.

This made the already hesitant shopkeeper Li even more uncertain with a layer of doubt on his face.

Dongfang Yi wanted to go up to explain, but was rejected by Shopkeeper Li. He sensed that the couple had appeared a little suddenly.

So he sent someone to investigate, and it turned out that it was Zhao Wenlu's people who deliberately inquired that Dongfang Yi would meet with Shopkeeper Li, so he sent someone to direct and act in this play in front of them.

The purpose is to make it difficult for Dongfang Yi to move an inch.

"I don't know what the purpose of the third prince is doing this?" Dongfang Yi found Zhao Wenlu for advice.

"Don't dare, what purpose does this king have for you? This king just wants to invite you to a meal, sit down and reminisce, and I have invited you several times but have not appreciated it, so we have made this decision. Zhao Wenlu looked at Dongfang Yi innocently.

Dongfang Yi knew that this meal could not be escaped, and glanced at Nalan Jin next to him, and the two decided to agree to sit down with Zhao Wenlu to eat and see what tricks he was playing.

"I'm really sorry to let the three princes break the bank, since this is the case, then we might as well be respectful, thank you for the kindness of the three princes, do it first as respect." Nalan Jin raised his glass and drank it all.

"I've long heard that Jin's children are heroes, and that's true." Zhao Wenlu clapped his hands and praised.

Zhao Wenlu ordered people to keep adding wine to Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi, but turned his head and quietly ordered the people around him to deliver news to the spies in Zhao Wenluo's mansion.

passed the news of Nalan Jin's dinner with Zhao Wenlu to Zhao Wenluo, and hinted intentionally or unintentionally that Nalan Jin had taken refuge in him.

"Is Jinre really with the Third Prince?" Zhao Wenluo asked.

"I sent people to check on the largest restaurant in the city, and they talked and laughed." Again, the guards confirmed.

"Three princes! Nalan Jin! Zhao Wenluo clenched his fists angrily.
