Chapter 403: Suspicion
"The prince has been in the old lady's courtyard all morning...... Play chess? ”
Hua leaned on the side of the bed and looked at the maid who was reporting the situation in front of the bed, "Do you say why did you do that?" ”
The maidservant whispered: "The slave heard that the prince said that he was doing filial piety for the princess." ”
Hua sneered, his eyes slightly cold: "What about the afternoon?" What did the prince do again? ”
"In the afternoon, the prince has not come out in his courtyard, but the prince of Chu has left the house, saying that he is going to Yangzhou City."
Hana narrowed her eyes.
The prince came to Yangzhou City with the prince of Chu, and according to common sense, he should accompany the prince of Chu to play in Yangzhou City.
But the prince did not go out.
"You just said that the prince asked Yinbao to serve in the old lady's house?"
The maidservant replied: "Yes, when the prince went to the old lady's courtyard in the morning, he brought Yinbao with him, and also asked the master's opinion. ”
Hua Shi pinched the quilt tightly, and secretly sighed in his heart that Shen was useless, and his eyes rolled.
"In your opinion, could the prince be suspicious of the old lady's illness?"
The maid hesitated: "The old lady's illness is the same as a stroke, and yesterday Miss Yinbao also said that there is no problem with Dr. Tian's diagnosis after checking the pulse......
"If you weren't suspicious, how could you let Yinbao serve with you? How could the prince stay in the Shen Mansion and not leave? ”
Hua's voice was low, as if talking to herself.
The maidservant thought for a moment: "Madam, even if the prince becomes suspicious and asks Miss Yinbao to serve in front of the old lady, it is impossible for them to find out that the old lady's illness is actually not a disease. ”
Hua shook his head: "Don't underestimate anyone. Now we have successfully implanted the Gu worm into the old lady's body, but we still need snake skin as an introduction, and it will take at least seven days to successfully ...... the Gu in the upper ranks."
"The snake skin was ground into snake skin powder and put in the soothing incense?"
The maid replied: "Yes, the slave and maid went to see it quietly last night, so the tranquilizer incense is used well." ”
Hua nodded: "That's good." ”
She held the letter sent by Qin Xu in her hand, and thought: "Shen Wansan, that dead old man, is very protective of people, I have married into the Shen family for so long, and I can't even find out where the key to the vault is hidden, I am really ashamed of the cultivation of the prince of Jin for me." ”
"Now that the prince is coming much earlier than expected, the prince of Jin wants to start in advance, we need to plan carefully."
Hua Shi groaned, his eyes cold.
She was invited by Qin Xu, the king of Jin, and since she met Shen Cong, she has spent a lot of energy and effort in the Shen Mansion.
Although Shen Cong was devoted to her, and Old Lady Shen was also relieved to hand over the Shen Mansion to her to take care of, but Old Lady Shen, and even Shen Cong, never told her some secrets.
For example, the Shen Mansion Treasury that Qin Xu, the king of Jin, wanted to find.
According to Qin Xu, the king of Jin, there was a vault hidden in the Shen Mansion, which was accumulated by the Shen family for several generations, and could buy the entire Yangzhou City.
With the backing of this vault, it will be a great boost to the great cause of King Jin.
The Hua clan has lived in the Shen Mansion for so long that they have almost touched the entire Shen Mansion, but they have never been able to find the place where the vault is.
She was well versed in all kinds of witchcraft Gu techniques, and she could have easily used them on Shen Cong, and she could have found out about this matter through Shen Cong.
But don't look at Shen Cong, although he doesn't understand the art of witchcraft, he is extremely sensitive to witchcraft.
When the prince first came to the Shen Mansion, the Hua clan tried to control Shen Cong to deal with the prince, but was discovered by Shen Cong and warned her not to use witchcraft again.
She didn't dare to act rashly.
The longer she lived in the Shen Mansion, the less daring she was to rely on witchcraft to think that she was omnipotent.
For Shen Cong and Old Lady Shen's keen intuition, she was really shocked.
Since then, she has been a wife of the Shen family wholeheartedly, and even became pregnant for Shen Cong, and finally let her discover that the vault may be in the courtyard of the old lady Shen, and this vault is also connected to a secret passage, which can reach a hillside outside Yangzhou City.
She sent the news to King Jin, and at the same time began to attack Old Lady Shen.
Everything went smoothly.
Old lady Shen suffered a stroke, and the people of King Jin also arrived in Yangzhou and began to search for the exit of the secret passage outside the city.
Unexpectedly, the prince came at this time.
Inexplicably, she felt that something was wrong.
"King Jin asked us not to leak out," Hua said, "first find out the true meaning of the prince." ”
The maidservant whispered, "Madam, what are we going to do?" ”
"For dinner today, you put this medicine in the prince's wine glass," Hua Shi took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms and handed it over, "I will ask the master to ask the prince again about his intentions." ”
"As long as the prince drinks this powder, he will tell the master the truth."
The maid took the medicine bag: "The slave and maid know." ”
At night, Shen never came to Hua's place, and Hua's said softly: "Shen Lang, the concubine heard that His Royal Highness has been waiting in his grandfather's courtyard today, and she feels very sorry in her heart. ”
"Originally, taking care of my grandfather should have been a concubine's business," she raised her eyes, "but now the concubine is useless......"
Shen Cong hurriedly reached out and pressed her lips: "Don't talk nonsense, you are sitting in Xiaoyuezi now, and the most important thing is to take care of your body." Even my grandfather thought so. I will take care of your Highness's side, you don't have to feel guilty. ”
Hua's beautiful eyes were shining: "Shen Lang, Your Highness was originally passing by on an errand, but now because of the affairs in our house, the trip has been delayed, and even the prince of Chu is still in Yangzhou." ”
"You say," she put her hand on Shen Cong's chest, "if we miss an errand for our house, if the emperor blames it, we won't be able to." ”
"It's not a good thing for the crown princess," Hua knew that Shen Cong cared about Fu Yuanyuan the most, "It's not good if the crown prince annoys the crown princess because of this." ”
Sure enough, Shen Cong frowned.
Seeing this, Hua Shi hurriedly suggested: "Why don't you have dinner with the prince tomorrow, and then ask him if it matters on an errand, if it is important, don't delay too much time in our house?" ”
Shen Cong nodded: "You think about it thoroughly, my husband almost didn't notice this layer." ”
Hua smiled shyly: "The concubine lies in bed every day, so she thinks more." ”
Inn.
Qin Xu received the letter from the Hua Clan, and raised his eyes to look at the staff who hurriedly returned: "Did you find the exit of the secret passage by searching outside the city?" ”
The staff shook their heads: "Back to the prince, I haven't found it yet." ”
Qin Xu pursed his lips: "Keep looking, add some more people to find it!" ”
"Lord Wang, if you go to search with great fanfare, I'm afraid that the people of the Shen Mansion will find out the clues......"
The staff hesitated.
Qin Xu sneered: "Old lady Shen has already stepped into the coffin with one foot, Shen Cong has fallen into the love Gu of the Hua clan again, and the Shen Mansion exists in name only!" What is there to scruple about? ”
"The top priority is to find the treasury, the prince is here, we must be even more fast, so as not to have any accidents!"
When the staff heard this, they said: "Yes, my subordinates understand." In addition, someone found the whereabouts of the crown princess in a town not far from the capital. ”
"The crown princess?" Qin Xu's voice raised slightly.
"I didn't see the princess herself, but I saw a convoy, driven by the porter of the prince's mansion, Sang Lao, accompanied by Mama Pang."
Qin Xu's pupils shrank: "If it's really the crown princess traveling, it's really good news." ”
He sneered, "In that case, send someone to intercept the convoy." ”
