Guan Yong brought the medicinal soup to the Empress Dowager Liu, who shook her head and refused to drink it.

"Queen Mother, drink it, this medicine was boiled by Jiang Ming himself, and his medical skills can still be trusted." Guan Yong persuaded softly.

Empress Dowager Liu raised her eyes, took the medicine bowl, took a sip, and asked again: "What about his father, is this planning not to enter the palace to serve the mourning family for the rest of his life?" ”

Guan Yong took a piece of candy to her and said with a smile: "How come, the Queen Mother asked him to go to Jiangnan to inspect the epidemic in the disaster area, and he has only been gone for a few days?" ”

Empress Dowager Liu drank the medicine and laughed: "Look at my memory, it's normal." ”

"Ancestor, let's rest for a while, I'll go to the Si Si Si to see if the paper kite is done, if it is done, let's take advantage of the cool evening to go to the Yushui River to put it in the water, okay?"

Guan Yong put away the medicine bowl and said with a smile.

Empress Dowager Liu nodded silently, suddenly her face was painful, and she seemed to be very uncomfortable, and the bluffing Guan Yong lost the medicine bowl in her hand and came to help her.

Liu Hou vomited violently, and the muscles and buoyancy of the vomit were weak, so she stopped, Guan Yong couldn't support her alone, so she called in three or four palace maids together, and Fang carried her to the kang and lay down.

"Quick, go and call Jiang Ming!" Guan Yong didn't care about the filth on his body, and grabbed a palace maid and commanded in a trembling voice.

The palace maid left in response, and after a while, Jiang Ming ran in sweating.

"Damn, didn't you say this prescription is foolproof? Why is this happening? Guan Yong rushed in front of him and roared.

Jiang Ming knelt down in front of the kang, stretched out his hand to give Liu Hou a pulse, sighed, his face eased, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Okay, this pulse is not as astringent as before." ”

"What? All right? Guan Yong stared at him in disbelief.

Jiang Ming pulled her sleeve and walked out, sat on the chair outside, and sighed: "Guan Yong, what is the origin of this calmness?" I was terrified when I thought about it. ”

"I have checked her details, her father Leng Xun was originally a prosecutor, because he judged the wrong case, he killed a family of five in the county, and was removed from his post for investigation, and her mother was originally the daughter of a bandit.

After Leng Xun was imprisoned, he was entangled with a gang of bandits who wanted to rob the prison to save people, but he was defeated by the officers and soldiers, so he was sentenced to the nine clans, and all the women in the family were sold as maids.

There is nothing unusual about her background, if she has some strange prescriptions in her hands, it is not difficult to understand, her maternal grandfather was a famous bandit who dominated one side after all, and the bandits have been doing it for a long time, so they can naturally collect some good things. "Guan Yongdao.

"No wonder she always has a domineering spirit that makes people feel inexplicably frightened, it turns out that her maternal grandfather was also a character." Jiang Ming smiled bitterly.

"Is Concubine Guan really dead?" Guan Yong suddenly changed the topic.

Jiang Ming touched his nose and laughed: "You don't believe me? ”

Guan Yong nodded solemnly.

"If you don't believe me, you should also believe Lao Qin and He Yin, when we went to the autopsy, we went together." Jiang Ming Road.

"What about the Nine Emperor Princes? After the concubine died of poisoned wine, he was really still playing with the nine rings in his hand, laughing back and forth? Guan Yong asked again.

Jiang Ming swallowed his saliva and his face became serious: "Do you think this rumor is credible?" Although the Nine Emperors are stupid, they don't know everything, how can they be considered a five or six-year-old child, how can they still laugh after knowing that their mother is dead? ”

Guan Yong nodded, and a suspicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Of course there are no such rumors, I just want to try you to see if you tell the truth, if you answer wrong just now, I am afraid that the Nine Emperor Princes will not live tomorrow." ”

"Although Concubine Guan is Xiaguan's cousin, her cousin's family has always lived in her hometown of Jiangling, and my father has left his hometown since he was sixteen years old and came to the capital, so we were not familiar with each other before.

If you hadn't mentioned this matter before, I wouldn't have known that there was such a relative, and it is nonsense that you are so suspicious of the lower officials! Jiang Ming said.

Guan Yong poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "What are you anxious about, I doubt you, it's better than the Queen Mother and her old man doubting you, besides, if I really doubt you, how could I say such a thing to you?"

You don't recognize the good hearts of people and wronged me. ”

"Since the Queen Mother is a bit taboo about the mother and son of the concubine, isn't it better to send the Nine Emperor Princes out of the palace, out of sight and out of mind?" Jiang Ming asked.

"Wherever you send it, it's better to keep it safe under your nose all the time. Just let him continue to live in the cold palace, I envy him, he only knows how to eat, drink and play all day long, and he has no worries, which is a good thing. Guan Yong said abruptly.

The two were talking, only to hear the call of Empress Liu inside.

Guan Yong hurriedly ran in, and Empress Liu had already sat up from the kang, cutting his sideburns, shouting that he was a little hungry and wanted to eat.

Guan Yongxi's eyebrows opened and smiled, and he ordered to hurry up and prepare all kinds of soup that the Queen Mother loved to eat.

"Calm and honest, don't deceive, this prescription really works wonders." Jiang Ming finished checking Empress Liu's pulse and said with a smile.

Empress Liu leaned on the brocade and was silent for a long time before instructing Guan Yong: "Reward 10,000 yuan to the Nine Emperor Princes, so that he can live in peace in the cold palace." ”

"The Queen Mother is really a bodhisattva." Jiang Ming flattered.

Empress Liu raised her eyes and glanced at him, snorting, but her tone was full of love: "You bear boy, when did you learn to be flamboyant and flattering?" ”

Jiang Ming grinned and went to clean up the medicine box.

Guan Yong received the queen mother's decree and ordered someone to take half of the money to be sent to the cold palace first.

As soon as he walked out of the main hall, he bumped into Calm and walked over with a paper kite in his hand.

Guan Yong greeted her, took the paper kite in her hand, looked at it repeatedly, and said with a smile: "It's really skillful, it's exactly the same as the drawings, the Queen Mother will definitely like it." I'll show it to her old man. “

"Delay my aunt's errands." Smiled calmly.

"It's not a big deal." Guan Yong said with a smile.

"How about calmly doing it for my aunt?" Calmly asked.

"Well, haven't you always felt guilty of conscience? This time I went to give a reward, which can be regarded as an explanation to the Nine Emperor Princes. Guan Yong patted her shoulder and smiled.

Calmly grinning, as if smiling but not smiling.

——————————

When he calmed down, the Nine Emperor Princes were sleeping in the house.

Mama Zhou went in to wake him up, but he lost his temper and cried and screamed, saying that Mama Zhou had disturbed his sweet dreams.

Mama Zhou was so talkative, it was easy to persuade him, kneel down with him, and take Yi's decree together.

When the Nine Emperors saw the money, they became happy again, grinned, took Mama Zhou's hand, and asked her to hurry up and buy him something delicious.

Mama Zhou coaxed him, and looked at him calmly with an embarrassed face: "Let Leng Si see and laugh, since the concubine Niangniang left, the prince and him, he has been even more crazy." ”

Calmly smiled slightly, saw that there was no one around, closed the door in the past, wanted to sit on the chair, and said slowly: "Nine princes, no matter whether the person surnamed Leng that Qin Tianjian said back then is a slave or not, the slave and maid are here to help you, not to harm you." ”

When Mama Zhou heard this, her body shook, her face darkened instantly, and she flew over, her hand was like a steel tong, grabbing her calm throat, and she was about to break her neck!

"Mama, stop!" The Nine Princes snorted.

"Lord Wang, this person can't be kept, she knows our secret!" Mama Zhou roared.

"I'll let you go." The Nine Princes snorted again.

Mama Zhou stomped her feet and let go of her hand.

"It's not a loss to be the most powerful martial arts master in the inner prison, Aunt Zhou almost died calmly this time."

Calmly wiped his neck and said calmly.

The Ninth Prince squinted, his good-looking face was smashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Leng Sishe, isn't my mother and her dead?" ”

"According to the wisdom of the prince, it is not strange to see through the plans of the slaves and maids. Calm down.

"Mother, she's really not dead?" Mama Zhou was shocked, clinging to her calm shoulders and shaking violently, obviously not believing that this was true.

"Mama, if my mother is really dead, where can she hear those words, only the three of us know about the people surnamed Leng." Nine Princes said.

"Mother, she told you everything?" Mama Zhou let go of her hand, took two steps back, and asked in surprise.

"Aunt Zhou, you can't blame Niangniang, she has endured it for ten years, and she can't bear it anymore, it just so happens that my surname is Leng, and it just so happens that she thinks I saved the lives of their mother and son, she told me that she is willing."

Calm down. His eyes looked at the Nine Princes.

"Leng Sishe, this king has been pretending to be crazy and stupid, but in order to survive, there is nothing else to think, my mother's words, don't take it seriously, as long as she is alive, this king's wish has been fulfilled, and there is nothing else to worry about." The ninth prince said, and made a long compilation towards calmness: "Leng Si's life-saving grace, this king will keep it in mind, and if he has the opportunity, he will repay him by forming a grass ring." ”

"The prince doesn't have to be polite, the matter of the Tianji bottle, calmness also has something to do with it, and doing it calmly is just for yourself." Calm down.

"Actually, this king is also very curious, how Leng Si set up to hide from the world and cross the sea, rescued my mother, that day, I saw her drink poisoned wine with my own eyes, poisoned to death, and three imperial doctors from the imperial hospital examined the body before carrying it out." The Nine Princes asked.

Spread his hands calmly, with an expressionless face and an emotionless voice: "If there is really a day when the prince is cornered, remember not to use the sword or sword, just take poison."

No matter what kind of poison, calmness can be solved. ”

"You are presumptuous!" Mama Zhou's eyes widened, and she was about to step forward again.

The Ninth Prince stopped her, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

glanced at it calmly, lowered his head, and sighed: "Did your mother tell you that you are so beautiful when you laugh." ”

"Leng Sishe, you are so smart, you must know who wants to frame you, right?" The smile of the Nine Princes froze at the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly asked.

Calm flashed his eyes, and nodded: "I didn't know, but when I walked in today, I realized that the taste left on the kang screen was exactly the same as the taste on the prince's body, it turned out that the prince was also a master in the painting, and the phoenix with a broken neck was painted vividly." ”

"People have lived to the point where I am, every step is very difficult, if I die at the beginning, I will die, but I have lived for many years, since I have survived, I am not willing to die easily, do you understand?"

The Nine Princes brushed their hands behind their backs, turned around, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.

"Calm understands, the prince said the wrong thing in front of Calm, I'm afraid that Calm will find out that you are not really stupid, and thus cause trouble, so I have to do something with Calm, right?" Calm down.

"Then do you know who is the biggest enemy who doesn't want this king to live?" The Nine Princes stared at him with blazing eyes and asked calmly.

Calmly swallowed his saliva and guessed: "Your Majesty?" ”

"Wrong, it's Sima Nan!" The Nine Princes said in a dumb voice.
