Chu Yaocen was in trouble again, and couldn't help asking, "Then who is better to arrange?" ”

"Haha," Liu Qimang laughed twice and said, "The prince is not an ordinary child, but after all, he is just a child, and it is estimated that it is easier for a slightly older child than him to win his trust." So, I already have a candidate. ”

Liu Qimang looked outside, the little beggar who was making tea.

Qingdi asked curiously, "Mr. Liu, who is this child?" ”

"It was the orphan I rescued from the mouth of a mountain ghost on Zhaoyao Mountain, and followed me all the way to the imperial city. Because he has lived alone in the mountains full of wolves, tigers and leopards since he was a child, he is very good at reaching out, and his mind is clean, which is absolutely suitable. Liu Qimang said: "Oh yes, the mountain ghost is a kind of fierce beast on the swagger, as terrifying as a ghost. ”

Chu Yaocen nodded, he trusted Liu Qimang from the bottom of his heart, so recommending this child was definitely after his careful consideration. He asked again, "Do you want to find an opportunity to send this child to the palace?" ”

Liu Qimang shook his head: "The one sent in seems too deliberate, it is better to let the prince come out by himself and bring this child into the palace by himself, so that the prince will really trust him." ”

"The prince brought it into the palace himself?" Qingdi felt a little incredible, and said: "Senior Liu, the prince is in the palace now, and he has no freedom at all, and why did he bring a little beggar into the palace?" ”

"The prince is not an ordinary child, after I came to the imperial city, I also found a few familiar friends in the court to ask about the prince, knowing that the prince is precocious, and he also has the heart to preside over the government, he is bound to want a few people close to him to be able to be a confidant. You said that the prince is not free, but he can also take people back, because the imperial concubine Niangniang, isn't what you want is that His Royal Highness the prince is not good at studying? So find a playmate to go back, can she be unwilling? ”

Qingdi listened to it and felt that it made sense. By this time, the boy had already boiled the tea, brought it in and put it on the table, and then stepped back, as if he had no intention of making tea for you. Seeing this, Chu Yaocen hurriedly picked up the teapot and made tea for Mr. Liu.

Qingdi was curious about him, so she turned her head to look at him and asked, "Child, what's your name?" ”

The child said: "I didn't have a name at first, and the old fairy called me Jing Yuanying." ”

Qingdi nodded, and saw that he was dirty and his clothes were torn, so he said, "Yuan Ying, you can boil some water and take a bath later, and I'll go outside to buy you a new dress and come back and change in." ”

"No, no, no, that's for the best." Liu Qimang hurriedly waved his hand at Qingdi and said, "I know that Madame is kind-hearted, but don't ruin my plan." ”

"What are the plans of the seniors?" Chu Yaocen took a sip of the teacup and asked him.

"It's not a plan, it's not a plan, it's going to wait for an opportunity," Liu Qimang said, looked at Qingdi and said, "You can bring this opportunity." ”

Qingdi was a little confused, and said, "What chance?" How do I bring it? ”

"You just need to bring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince out, and I have my own arrangements for other things." Liu Qimang didn't say more, but also picked up the soil tea bowl and took a sip of tea.

A few people were silent for a moment, and Chu Yaocen asked again: "The seniors went out of the mountain this time, just helped me like this, and they will definitely stay by my side in the future to help me complete the great cause, right?" ”

"Hahahaha, you kid," Liu Qimang pointed Chu Yaocen with his finger and said, "Don't stay, I'm used to it, don't stay." And I'm not out to help you, and I don't want to get involved in the fight between you people. I just wanted to send this child to the crown prince. ”

"Oh? If it wasn't for me, why did my predecessors say so much to me, and if they didn't want to meddle in our affairs, why did they send this child to the prince? Chu Yaocen asked with a smile.

"I do things, where is what?" Liu Qimang said this, so he was reluctant to continue, and said: "By the way, didn't Shicai say that the catastrophe of Madame has not been solved yet?" ”

Chu Yaocen glanced at Qingdi, nodded and said, "Madam is the most important person in my heart, nothing can happen, and I ask my seniors for advice." ”

Liu Qimang bent the corners of his eyes, looked at Qingdi with a smile, and asked, "Do you feel that you have been very weak lately, and you are very sleepy?" ”

Qingdi was surprised, and then quickly nodded: "That's true, Yao Cen said that I was poisoned, but I don't know who poisoned me and how I was poisoned." Please also ask the seniors for advice. ”

"Yes, the poison in the green flute, if I can't find the person who poisoned it, I can't detoxify it."

"It's not difficult to find the person who poisoned him. Second Master Chu didn't suspect that it was the poison of the Chu family, he should have felt that this poison was complicated, and those people in the Chu family who might deal with his wife, they should not have the ability to prepare such a poison, nor the ability to find someone to prepare such a poison, right? ”

Chu Yaocen nodded: "The senior is right, I really think so." ”

"Yes, but in addition to staying in the Chu family for a long time, Madam has been there for a long time, and she is easy to be poisoned?"

Chu Yaocen glanced at Qingdi, suddenly thought of something, and said: "The wine brewed by Qingdi a few years ago was favored by the emperor, so let Qingdi go to the palace on an errand, and stay in the palace for a long time. ”

Speaking of which, Liu Qimang didn't need to continue to say anything. The women in the back house of the Chu family may not have thought of such a complicated poison, they are more likely to directly poison Qingdi to death, but the people in the palace may and have the ability to poison Qingdi like this.

Chu Yaocen was silent for a moment, and he had a vague clue in his heart, and when he saw that Liu Qimang's words stopped here, he began to drink tea calmly, and knew that he was unwilling to say any more. Chu Yaocen didn't say anything, and asked again: "Since the seniors are unwilling to stay by my side to help me, when do the seniors plan to leave the imperial city and go back to Zhaoyao Mountain?" ”

Liu Qimang understood in his heart that Chu Yaocen was anxious to know his plan because he was afraid that he would help others. He sighed and chuckled, "Second Master Chu, don't worry, when I settle Jing Yuanying, I'll go back immediately." ”

Chu Yaocen lowered his eyes for a long time and said: "Senior, you have been fighting with my father on the battlefield before, I have freely heard your legend, I respect you very much, and I have also imagined that one day I can let my predecessor assist me." But after all, I couldn't keep my predecessors, probably because I was not as good as my father. ”

Liu Qimang chuckled and said: "Second Master Chu must not say such things, I have never liked to get involved in the chaos of this court, and the father who helped you in the past was also because I had a very personal relationship with your father." But don't worry, if I predict anything big in the future, I'll come back and tell you. ”

Chu Yaocen estimated that this is the limit of Liu Qimang, if he continues to talk about it, he may break up with this Liu Qimang. So he nodded and said, "The juniors know, thank you for coming from thousands of miles to mention this time." ”

Qingdi listened to the two of them all the time, and hurriedly followed Chu Yaocen to get up and thank Liu Qimang, and then the two said goodbye to him.

After they left, Chu Yaocen smiled and said to Qingdi: "I said a word to Mr. Liu, which strengthened my determination, and the things I have been planning for a long time will also be put on the agenda." and the Huilong Sect, which I had been handing over to Mu Yungong to take care of, also had to take it back from my hands, preparing to return to Wu Kingdom first, and then to Li Kingdom to do it. ”

Qingdi listened to him speak, and felt more and more that Chu Yaocen was now radiant, as if he was just a tiger trapped in a cage in the past, and now this tiger finally broke through the cage and came out.

She nodded slightly, whispered "um", and said, "I will accompany you in whatever you do." ”

Chu Yaocen looked down at her, her originally youthful and pretty appearance had added some mature taste after less than a year of training, but her eyes were still beautiful and clean, and her temperament had not changed much.

Chu Yaocen stopped, stretched out his hand to touch Qingdi's face, and said, "The person who poisoned you must be in the palace, do you know who she is?" ”

Qingdi furrowed his brows, as if he had something to say, but he still shook his head after all.

Chu Yaocen saw what she was thinking and asked, "Do you suspect the hand of the imperial concubine?" ”

Qingdi saw that he had guessed it, so he didn't hide it, nodded and said: "In the palace, in addition to the slaves and maids assigned by His Majesty to help me make wine, the one who has the most frequent contact with me is the imperial concubine, so if it is poisoned, she should have the best chance." Moreover, ever since the crown prince and Fu Wan told me about the things that the imperial concubine did to the prince, I always felt in my heart that the imperial concubine was not as she showed in front of me...... Of course, I don't have any evidence, I'm just guessing. ”

Chu Yaocen pondered for a moment and said, "The imperial concubine is quite straightforward in front of me, so it's better for me to ask her directly." ”

"Just ask her?" Qingdi was a little surprised, "It's not good, if not, it hurts feelings, if it is, you can't do anything with her." ”

Chu Yaocen smiled slightly and said, "If so, I will ask her for an antidote, and then ask her why she wants to poison you." If not, she and I originally felt that each other was useful, and she married into the palace when I was two or three years old, what kind of feelings did she have with me? ”

Qingdi had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, whatever you want." ”

Subsequently, the two moved into a new home, and at night Chu Yaocen took the Qingdi's entry token into the palace to find the imperial concubine. After seeing the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine looked at him with a smile and asked with a smile: "I heard that you have befriended His Royal Highness King Kang, and with the help of Princess Kang, you have successfully left the Chu family?" ”

Chu Yaocen obviously came to trouble her, but she didn't expect to be troubled by her. He was not flustered, nodded and replied: "Yes, I am a merchant, and it is always beneficial to make friends with the prince, does my aunt think there is anything wrong?" ”

Listening to Chu Yaocen's unkind tone, the imperial concubine's tone was not much better, and said, "How can you be willful?" You've always been good friends with King Rui before, why did you suddenly go to King Kang again? ”

Chu Yaocen spread his hands and said, "We are all just friends, I have no power in the court, what is my aunt nervous about?" ”

"Yes, you have no power or power, but you know what you have, and you know why those princes are trying to win you over!"

Chu Yaocen smiled faintly and said, "Just because what I have is involved in the court dispute, you want to poison my beloved woman?" ”
