"Yang'er, but you're back?" As soon as Yuan Tianye and the two guards returned to the courtyard, King Rui rushed out of the study and saw clearly that it was indeed Yuan Tianye, and then he was greatly relieved.

Seeing Yuan Zhibai like this, Yuan Tianye's face softened slightly, but his expression was still faint, and he said, "It's late at night, my father should go back and rest." ”

It's good that his son comes back safely, but Yuan Zhibai didn't care about his attitude, and said: "As soon as you come back, you will be busy with this and that, and you don't have a hot meal." I have asked Lao Wang to make you some food, you can eat first. There are also cherries sent by the South Vietnamese country, you can also taste them. After saying that, he sent someone to call Lao Wang.

Looking at the red and bright cherries that were supposed to be in May, Yuan Tianye's eyes lit up and asked, "How many cherries did Nanyue send here?" How many more? ”

Seeing that his son was finally willing to talk to him, Yuan Zhibai was extremely happy and said: "The queen of Nanyue felt sorry for her son, so she sent two hundred catties, but it was rotten on the road, and she only got seventy catties. When Yi Gongzi heard that the emperor was seriously ill, he sent twenty catties into the palace, and each sent ten catties to Duanwang's Mansion, the Princess's Mansion and our Rui Wang's Mansion. Your mother knew that you had always liked cherries, so she left you three pounds. ”

Hearing King Rui mention Yi Gongzi, the old king said: "Childe, Yi Gongzi came to the house yesterday and said that he was looking for you in a hurry. Seeing that you are not at home, your face is very ugly. ”

Yuan Tianye was focused on cherries, and didn't pay much attention to Shen Ziyi's visit, pointing to the cherries on the table and asking Yuan Zhibai: "How much is left in this cherry mansion?" ”

"I sent it this morning, I've been in the palace all the time, I don't know how much is left at home." Yuan Zhibai said. Seeing that Yuan Tianye's expression was very serious, he asked strangely, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'll tell you more about it later." Yuan Tianye hurriedly got up, walked outside, found the person who showed him the way just now, and explained it in detail. The man nodded. Jumped on the roof and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yuan Tianye returned to the house and instructed Lao Wang: "No matter what method you use." Save this cherry first, don't let it spoil, and don't let the wild cats steal it. I'm of great use. If this thing is missing, I'm the only one to ask. ”

"Yes." Lao Wang put the food on the table. With a nervous expression, he took the plate of cherries and retreated.

Yuan Zhibai had doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask, and put a cup of bird's nest chicken soup in front of Yuan Tianye with his own hands: "Hurry up and eat, eat first." ”

At noon, he only nibbled on a little dry food on the horse, and Yuan Tianye was already hungry. He stopped talking, and filled his stomach by dividing it by two, and then told King Rui about his plan. Father and son deliberated until late at night. Then they went to sleep separately. Early the next morning, Yuan Tianye hurried into the palace again and stayed until after breakfast before returning to the mansion.

As soon as he got out of the car, someone came to report that Yi Gongzi was here again and was waiting in the front hall. Yuan Tianye remembered Lao Wang's report last night, and hurriedly went to the front hall to see Shen Ziyi, and smiled from afar: "Young Master Yi, how are you doing lately?" ”

Shen Ziyi was in a hurry, and he couldn't care about the hustle and bustle. looked at Yuan Tianye and saw that although he looked a little tired, he was generally fine and neatly dressed. behaved calmly, but fortunately sat down in a good time, ordered someone to cook tea for him, forcibly suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and said, "Doctor Yuan, is Lin Xiaozhu in your house?" I have a guest there and want to invite her to the house to make some snacks. ”

Yuan Tianye was stunned and glanced at Shen Ziyi inquiringly. Shen Ziyi came here yesterday, and his face was anxious; Today, knowing that he only arrived in the capital last night, it should be because of the emperor's illness, but he came over again in the morning, just to invite Lin Xiaozhu to his mansion to make snacks? Could it be that there are still people in his house who want to eat dim sum made by Lin Xiaozhu himself? It seems that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, he came to these two trips, not for dim sum, but for Lin Xiaozhu.

It's just that when did Lin Xiaozhu intersect with Shen Ziyi?

Thinking of this, Yuan Tianye's heart tightened suddenly, as if the treasure he was hiding was coveted, which was extremely unpleasant. However, thinking of Lin Xiaozhu's current situation, he glanced at Shen Ziyi and said, "Lin Xiaozhu was invited to Duanwang Mansion by Duanwang Shizi a few days ago, doesn't Yigongzi know?" ”

Where does Shen Ziyi not know? From time to time, he would go to Yuyuzhai to meet Lin Xiaozhu. It was Lin Xiaozhu who was going to open a hot pot restaurant, and he didn't hide it from him. The day before yesterday, he went to the hot pot restaurant and saw that the hot pot restaurant had opened, but Lin Xiaozhu was nowhere to be seen, so he asked the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper told him that Lin Xiaozhu was suffering from a cold and was recuperating in the house. It was he who felt wrong, and let people check it, only to find out what happened in the hot pot restaurant that day, and Lin Xiaozhu had been taken to Duanwang Mansion by Yuan Zhi. Thinking that the county lord of Wanhua was extremely unkind to Lin Xiaozhu, he was uneasy in his heart, and he was afraid that something would happen to Lin Xiaozhu. It's just that he went to Duanwang's Mansion for no reason to ask for someone who has nothing to do with him, which is extremely inappropriate, and it may arouse the jealousy of Lord Wanhua, so as to do something drastic. Let people find out that the county lord of Wanhua is sick, Lin Xiaozhu is still safe, remembering that Lin Xiaozhu told him not to reveal her identity, he suppressed his anxiety and waited for Yuan Tianye to come back. If Yuan Tianye was a day late, he would have to go directly to Duanwang's Mansion to ask Yuan Zhi about the dignitaries.

However, these things can't be said to Yuan Tianye. Shen Ziyi pretended to be surprised and said, "I came yesterday, but no one told me, only that she suffered from a cold and was recuperating in the mansion." ”

Yuan Tianye knew that the people in the mansion said this, and he must have been ordered by King Rui, and his mood suddenly became depressed. However, his face was silent, and he arched his hand and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the means of Duan Wang Shizi to invite Lin Xiaozhu away that day were a little unclever. I'm not at home, and the people in the house don't know how to explain it, so I concealed it from Yi Gongzi, and Yi Gongzi is not strange. ”

Shen Ziyi looked straight at Yuan Tianye: "Then what is Divine Doctor Yuan going to do?" Just let the prince of Duan Wang invite Lin Xiaozhu away like this? ”

"I'm worried about this. Yi Gongzi also knows that although I was called a miracle doctor, I am a white person, unofficial and unemployed. As long as Duanwang Shizi falls in love with Lin Xiaozhu, I can only give it away, and I have no power to resist. Now that she has been accepted into the Duanwang Mansion, how easy is it to get her out? Even if I want to come out, once Duanwang Shizi opens his mouth to ask me for another person, I still have to give it. Yuan Tianye stood up and looked at Shen Ziyi deeply, "So, I also ask Gongzi Yi to help me next favor and get Lin Xiaozhu out of Duanwang's mansion." ”

Shen Ziyi sat still, looking at Yuan Tianye, who was doing tricks for him, his eyes flashed with a gleam: "I don't know, what good will it do me to help you?" ”

If Shen Ziyi didn't say a word and directly agreed to the matter, Yuan Tianye would inevitably guess how far Lin Xiaozhu and Shen Ziyi's friendship had reached, and he would never worry about entrusting Lin Xiaozhu to him. At this time, when he heard Shen Ziyi's conditions, he put his mind at ease and said: "As long as Gongzi Yi can rescue Lin Xiaozhu and protect her safety within a month, so that Duanwang Shizi can relieve this thought, Tianye will inevitably go to Nanyue Country to recuperate and recuperate for Gongzi's father and mother." ”

"Is that true?" Shen Ziyi's eyes lit up.

"As soon as the gentleman comes out, the horse is difficult to chase." Yuan Tianye said proudly.

"Okay, it's a deal!" Shen Ziyi said, then looked at Yuan Tianye, "Say, what should I do?" ”

Yuan Tianye took the teacup from Yuan Shi's hand, took a sip slowly, and then said, "Tomorrow is the birthday of Princess Duan, and Young Master Yi is going to celebrate, right?" ”

The old emperor has been sick, which is something that everyone in the country knows, but I don't know what his condition is. In order not to cause panic and succeed to the throne smoothly, King Duan did not announce the fact that the old emperor was critically ill. Therefore, on the birthday of the princess, many people will inevitably come to the door to congratulate her. Duanwang will also keep people to eat in a small area. This Shen Ziyi has a special status, and he must be among the invitees.

Shen Ziyi nodded and said, "That's nature." ”

"I'll definitely go tomorrow too. At the banquet, he also asked Gongzi Yi to call Lin Xiaozhu up, ask her to make a snack for everyone, and then take her out of the house by the way. After leaving Duanwang's Mansion, you don't have to send her back to me, just let her live in Shen Yuan for a while. When it's safe, I'll pick her up. Yuan Tianye said.

After saying this, he only felt that the tea was full of bitterness and astringency in his mouth.

Entrusting Lin Xiaozhu to Shen Ziyi, he didn't know if it was the biggest mistake in his life. After all, Shen Ziyi could come to the door in such a hurry to ask Lin Xiaozhu's whereabouts, and he always had a little indescribable thoughts. And Lin Xiaozhu has no feelings for himself at all. If something happens to the two of them during this period, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

It's just that once the poisoning incident of Duanwang occurs, the power of Duanwangfu in the whole country will inevitably track down the poisoners within a certain range, and those who have stayed in the kitchen and attended banquets will become the key targets of suspicion. Among all the people sent to Duanwangfu to carry out tasks, only Lin Xiaozhu did not change his appearance, and the others only needed to take advantage of the chaos to get out of Duanwangfu and restore their appearance, and they would be safe. But Lin Xiaozhu is different. At that time, he felt that he was just staying in Yuan's mansion and didn't need to send her on a mission, so there would be no danger, so he didn't let her change her face. After all, after a long period of transfiguration, the damage to the skin is still great. Who would have expected that Yuan Zhixiang would be taken captive, and King Rui would send her on a mission without doing anything?

In this matter, he was going to ask Princess Danyang. But Princess Danyang has never been close to Duanwangfu. If she suddenly went to attend a banquet in Duanwang's Mansion, once this happened, she would be the first object of suspicion. Her carriage would not be able to walk a few steps before it would be stopped and thoroughly investigated. When the time comes, Lin Xiaozhu will not be able to leave. Shen Ziyi is the most suitable candidate, after all, he has no stake in either party, and everyone will not suspect that he was poisoned.

"Okay, that's it." Shen Ziyi said, his eyes flashing with a bright light. (To be continued)
