Since Wen Jingyuan abolished the ban on access to the imperial capital and the imperial palace, the palace of the Yuan Kingdom, which had been silent for several months, slowly regained its vitality.

This evening is quite special, the second prince Wen Moshu, who has never liked to be lively, invited the largest opera troupe in the imperial capital, and even sent invitations to invite the concubines and princes of the harem and several ministers who were highly used by Wen Jingyuan to come.

"It's rare for the second prince to be in such a good mood, and he is inviting the drama troupe and sending invitations, which is comparable to the birthday celebration scene." Opposite the temporarily erected high platform, Wen Jingyuan lived in the center of the concubines and ministers, and he sighed with emotion, not knowing whether it was a joke or a deep meaning.

Wen Mo smiled and smiled, wearing a white fox fur in a different color brocade robe was very eye-catching: "Last month, I suddenly contracted an emergency, and walked on the ghost gate, and after the illness was cured, Weichen asked the master of Guangde Temple to see it, saying that it would be better to be more lively and festive, so that I could borrow more luck from the bad luck." Just in time for Empress Jingyi's birthday a few days later, Weichen thought it would be better to take this opportunity to celebrate together, in order to thank Empress Jingyi for her gift of medicine. ”

"Yes, Queen Jingyi treats you well, you should be grateful." Wen Jingyuan didn't dare to talk about the ghosts in his heart, so he tried to change the topic after a perfunctory sentence, "By the way, Mo Shu, since I have already passed you and several other princes to my knees, you should not call yourself a courtier in the future, and call yourself the first emperor brother like before, and you feel close to it." ”

"Yes, Father." Wen Moshu replied respectfully, and when he called his father, he hesitated a little and became a little jerky, but Wen Jingyuan didn't pursue anything.

The troupe on stage played the golden drum and played the stringed piano, and the opera sang mellow and confident, but somehow, there were some intermittent places from time to time, and it seemed to be too nervous. Lan Zhirong didn't like these babbling annoying operas, and she was even more impatient when she listened to the opera singing not perfectly, occasionally looking at Wen Jingyuan or Wen Moshu, and at other times she either lowered her head and pondered, or intentionally or unintentionally looked at Wen Jingyuan's side at the snow-white Lian Song, in short, it was difficult to feel at ease.

Only halfway through the singing of the first act, Zhao Gonggong suddenly attached himself to Wen Jingyuan's ear and said a few words, Wen Jingyuan's face changed slightly, and he quickly glanced at Lan Zhirong and then returned to normal, waving his hand and whispering to Zhao Gonggong to retreat.

Lan Zhirong's heart tightened, knowing that something might have happened in the harem, and it was related to herself - before she came, Lian Song said that this play was sung with ghosts, and specially asked her to pay more attention to Wen Moshu's actions, if Yin Junbai told everything and everything, then tonight's scene was very likely to be used as a cover for drug theft.

Thinking that Wen Moshu's person might be rummaging around in Fenghuan Palace at this time, Lan Zhirong slowly stabilized her mind, and a sneer appeared on her lips.

Tonight, anyone who goes to her Fenghuan Palace will be accused of being a thief, and the antidote to save Yin Junbai, Wen Moshu will not be able to find it in Fenghuan Palace.

An An sat firmly and watched for a while, the small pavilion bent down and hurriedly walked over, sticking behind Lan Zhirong and whispering: "Niangniang, just now my uncle received the news that the palace guards found that suspicious people were haunting Fenghuan Palace, and at this time, Deputy General Cui of the Praetorian Guard Battalion on duty was leading people to search nearby. I heard that the suspicious person was burly and extraordinary, and he seemed to be the ...... under the prince of Chu in the Tianque Palace."

"Don't talk nonsense until you catch someone." Lan Zhirong's tone was reprimanding Xiao Tingzi, but a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.

The trap arranged by Lian Song, the people on Wen Moshu's side really stepped into it.

Xu is heart is dictatory, after Zhao Gonggong's whispering, Wen Jingyuan began to sit still, and after watching half of the scene, he left first under the pretext of being uncomfortable, and some princes and concubines who didn't like to watch the play and listen to the music also dispersed; Wen Moshu wanted to do his best to persist until the end, and Gonggong Zhao came to say that the emperor had summoned him, and he had no choice but to get up and exit the imperial garden.

"Father summons his sons?" Outside the Imperial Garden, Wen Moshu bowed blankly.

Wen Jingyuan's face was not good, and he snorted: "Just now Cui Zhen found a suspicious person in Fenghuan Palace, suspected of being an assassin with bad intentions, and a palace maid who often came and went to the palace pointed out that the suspicious person was similar to your guest surnamed Chu, should you give me an explanation?" ”

"It can't be." Wen Moshu flatly denied it, and was upright, "Spring and Autumn have been running inside and outside the palace to grab medicine for their sons, and tonight is the same, and I will leave the palace after eating." The shopkeeper of Shanhetang outside the palace can testify, and the guards at the palace gate should also have an impression of him, and his father can send someone to check. ”

Wen Jingyuan had prejudices against Wen Moshu, so naturally he would not easily believe his words, and just wanted to refute it, but Lian Song took the lead and said lightly: "It's dark at night, maybe the palace maid is wrong, anyway, there is no loss in the palace, it's better to forget it, and wait for the Praetorian Guard Camp to catch someone and then interrogate." ”

Looking at Lian Song's calm expression and then at Wen Moshu with innocent eyes, Wen Jingyuan took a deep breath and waved his hand impatiently: "That's it, more is better than less." Mo Shu, you go with me to find Cui Zhen and ask what is going on, the others are scattered, what should you do. ”

Wen Mo replied and left with Wen Jingyuan, leaving Lan Zhirong and Lian Song in the same place, Lian Song kept saying that he was afraid that he would personally send Concubine Yun back to the palace if he met a villain on the road, but stopped in a place where there was no one outside Fenghuan Palace.

"Why don't you let the emperor go up and check? There is no capable person on the side of Tianque Palace, if you want to steal medicine, you must send that reckless man over, as long as you catch him, you can bring down the second prince, even if you can't bring him down, at least it will make him guilty for it! Lan Zhirong, who had endured all the way, broke out and questioned and complained to Lian Song.

"Use your brain, what kind of person is Wen Moshu, if he has a ghost in his heart, will he casually say something that people will verify?" Lian Song snorted coldly, and his eyes inadvertently showed a hint of approval. Gassho put it on his lips and blew a few strange tones, after a while, a sound of clothes rolling came, and a ghostly figure suddenly appeared in front of Lian Song, Lian Song's white eyebrows frowned slightly: "What about the medicine?" ”

Gu Shui hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "It's still in the room, and I've been staying outside without moving." ”

"Where were you when a suspicious person appeared in Fenghuan Palace? Have you ever seen anyone stealing medicine? ”

"I stayed in Chao Tai Zhai according to the master's instructions, and I wanted to go and see when I heard the movement in Fenghuan Palace, but ......" Gu Shui hesitated slightly, and then his voice became softer, "Before I can rush over there, there are also people from Chao Tai Zhai, and there is more than one person who comes, all of them are strong men of similar size, there are six of them in total, except for some light skills, they have no ability, and they only fled in a hurry after a move and a half with me." Unfortunately, those people were masked, and I couldn't recognize who was who. ”

Lian Song was slightly stunned, and then laughed dumbly: "There are also people coming over from Chao Taizhai?" Really...... It seems that I am the enemy this time. ”

"What? You didn't expect the other party to send so many people? It doesn't matter, didn't you specially let Gushui guard Chao Tai Zhai? He is good at kung fu, so naturally he will not let people grab the medicine. Lan Zhirong felt a little uneasy in her heart, thinking about Lian Song's plan to arrange people in the two palaces, yes, and put her high heart back into her belly.

However, Lian Song's answer made Lan Zhirong anxious again.

"Probably, the medicine is gone."

Looking at Lian Song's flat face, the first to panic was not Lan Zhirong but Gu Shui, and the eyes hidden under the hood suddenly shot out an unbelievable light, and he knelt on one knee with a plop: "The subordinates have been guarding around the room, don't dare to be distracted for a moment, the medicine can't be lost, please be aware of the master!" ”

Lian Song didn't explain or blame Gu Shui, Yin Owl sneered, but it was in the direction of Tianque Palace: "If you don't lose your mouth, you can go in and take a look." ”

Lan Zhirong took a deep look at Gu Shui, lifted the corner of her skirt and turned around and ran towards Chao Taizhai, and when Lian Song arrived in no hurry, Lan Zhirong was holding the empty box in both hands and looked in a trance.

Not only Yin Junbai's antidote, but even the spices and medicines for various effects prepared by Song for her were all lost overnight, and these things that could not be put on the surface in the first place were not even traced.

At the same time, in the Tianque Palace, the senior medical officer distinguished the various medicines with a serious expression and handed over one of the bottles to Yan Liwu, and nodded seriously: "Several other ones have been tried with silver needles, all of them are poisonous, but this bottle of medicine powder is non-toxic, you can find some birds and birds to test first, and then give it to Yin Gongzi." ”

After thanking the senior medical officer, Yan Li let out a long sigh, handed over the medicine bottle to Chunqiu, and saluted deeply to the two people in the guest seats next to him: "Thank you General Yun and Boss Jun for your help, this kindness will be repaid for your worries." ”

"Miss Yan is polite." Yun Jiuzhong waved his hand, his eyes glanced at Wen Moshu on the main seat, "The matter that His Highness explained to the end will do his best, not to mention that this matter is not the end of the general's own initiative, but just select a few soldiers with a body and physique that resemble the Spring and Autumn Brothers, just take this opportunity to let them understand that there are many masters in the palace who are better than them." ”

Jun Wunian, who was also thanked, was far less polite than Yun Jiuzhong, chuckled, and pushed a cup of tea to Chu Ci's hand: "It's not bad to go to the Chaotai Zhai soldiers, the people who are guarding the Chaotai Zhai are agile and ruthless, if there are no big brothers to attract his attention, it is not easy to quietly take away these bottles and cans from the room, so that I don't make a move and just be a thief, and thank Chu Gongzi for his clever calculation." ”

First sent someone to pretend to be the Spring and Autumn Period to go to Fenghuan Palace and Chaotaizhai to test, and found that there were masters guarding Chaotaizhai and immediately sent the forbidden military camp out, and made a lot of noise around Fenghuan Palace on the grounds of searching for suspicious characters, and Jun Wunian, who was specially invited, took advantage of the noise to sneak into Chaotaizhai to steal the antidote when several Xuanwu camp soldiers attracted the attention of the guards. This action plan has been leaked, thanks to Chu Ci's strategic efforts, if there is no advance preparation or neglect of the monitoring of Chao Tai Zhai, it may be Wen Moshu and Yan Liwu and others who will be defeated by the light enemy.

When the emperor left the imperial garden, Concubine Yun and Lian Song also left, the two walked together, and the antidote was found in Chao Taizhai, where Lian Song lived, which shows that the two are indeed secretly connected. Fortunately, Chu Ci reminded him to pay attention to Chao Taizhai when he went to Fenghuan Palace to search, otherwise he would probably miss this big fish. Wen Moshu gasped, as if he had palpitations, "It seems that in the future, it will be not only Concubine Yun who will have to deal with it, but also Lian Song, who is trusted by the emperor." Both of them use the emperor as their backer, and it will be even more difficult to deal with after joining forces, so Miss Yan should be careful. ”

"It's Your Highness who should be careful." Chu Ci sipped his tea and glanced at Yun Jiuzhong with a light smile, "Isn't it time for General Yun to go back?" Now there are many eyes and ears in the palace, which makes people find that the relationship between General Yun and His Royal Highness is not very good. And Boss Jun also let's go, although he has made a meritorious contribution this time, but no matter what, it still looks a little eye-catching. ”

Chu Ci and Jun Wunian are their own masters, complement each other, and in terms of relationship, it can be said that they are neither enemies nor friends, and they compete in secret, and Jun Wunian is not surprised by Chu Ci's half-joking and mean attitude. Putting down the coarse tea in disgust, Jun Wunian got up to say goodbye to Wen Moshu, walked to the door and suddenly stopped and turned around, looking at Yan Liwu meaningfully.

"This morning, I received a message from Mo Qing, which said that if Miss Yan delayed any longer and refused to go to the appointment, he would come to the imperial capital to arrest people in person."
