Zhao Qingxi seemed to have never heard of the Southern Xinjiang Death Gu, and immediately asked when he heard the words, "Dare to ask the divine doctor, what is the Death Gu?" ”

Tian Bu said in a deep voice, "Death Gu is a group of Gu Chong in Southern Xinjiang that has been lost for a hundred years, Death Gu is raised in the body of a living person, and it dies in three days, it melts into the blood, and there is no trace of illness." Keeping it on flowers and trees can make it evergreen all year round, but if a person touches flowers and trees and hurts blood, the qi of death Gu will enter the person's body through the blood, and he will die in 7749 days. Again, the slightest symptom could not be detected. ”

Zhao Qingxi's face turned pale, "My father...... When did you fall into the Death Gu? Since it has been lost for a hundred years, how can it be ......?"

Tian Bu said, "Although the Dead Gu may really be lost, the flowers and trees fed by the Dead Gu are only one in this capital. That flower tree was also discovered two months ago, when the crown princess was first pregnant, and it was the phoenix tree that was brought back from southern Xinjiang twenty years ago. However, since it was discovered, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not cut it down, but he has ordered people to guard it strictly. Now that Zaifu is dead, when did he touch the phoenix tree in the East Palace? That's weird. ”

Zhao Qingxi looked at the sky in shock, and his voice trembled for a while, "East Palace...... That phoenix tree? My dad ...... I haven't been to the East Palace recently......"

An Shuli looked at Zhao Zaifu on the bed and said, "The divine doctor said that if you touch the flowers and trees, you will hurt the blood, and the qi of death Gu will enter the human body through the blood, and you will die in seven hundred and forty-nine days." Although Zaisuke hasn't been to the East Palace recently, can he go to the East Palace before the 79th? ”

Zhao Qingxi shook his head and said with red eyes, "I don't know very well, forty-nine days ago, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince moved the council hall to the East Palace, my father often went in and out of the East Palace, but he ...... Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had protected the phoenix wood two months ago, how could he touch the phoenix wood? ”

An Shuli was also strange, he knew that Phoenix Wood was fed with the blood of Death Gu, that day, it was he who followed Yun Chi to the East Palace, and when Yun Chi and Hua Yan talked about Phoenix Wood, he was also there, and he didn't hide it from him. These days, Hua Yan is pregnant, and Yun Chi sees the East Palace firmly as tantamount to an iron wall, who can touch the phoenix wood? Unless the East Palace is its own people.

He couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he said to Zhao Qingxi, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just fallen ill after returning to Beijing in order to find the crown princess these days, and now he is having a fever, you first place Zaifu, and when His Royal Highness wakes up tomorrow, please make a thorough investigation." ”

Zhao Qingxi could only nod, wiped his tears with a handkerchief and said, "Thank you for leaving the son." ”

An Shuli glanced at her and added, "The people in the mansion are all optimistic, and there must be no one missing, so that His Highness can check tomorrow, especially the people who are close to Zaifu." ”

Zhao Qingxi bowed, "Yes." ”

An Shuli glanced at Zhao Zaifu again, but he didn't expect that the dignified Zaifu was dying with such a cause of death, and so suddenly. He turned around and said to Steward Fu and Tiannon, "Let's go." ”

The two nodded, and the three of them walked out of the main courtyard.

The housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion sent the two out of the mansion, wiping tears all the way, "There are no men in the mansion, what can the lady and young lady do in the future......

An Shuli persuaded, "The side tribe of the Zhao Mansion should take care of one or two." ”

The housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion was even more sad, "The relatives of the side tribe can't count on it, how can the orphan girl and widow have a good life?" After the words fell, he looked at An Shuli tentatively, "Although the old slave has a low body, he has watched the young lady grow up since he was a child, and he dared to ask for a word from the son, please take care of Zhao Mansion more in the future." ”

An Shuli paused for a moment, and said lightly and coldly, "With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, no matter whether Zaifu was killed or whatever, it will always be thoroughly investigated." Miss Zhao is not a weak daughter, and the housekeeper is too worried. ”

The housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion suddenly fell silent and didn't dare to say more.

An Shu left the Zhao Mansion and returned to the East Palace with Steward Fu and Tian Buji.

Mei Shuyu was waiting, and when she saw them coming back, she immediately asked An Shuli, "How is it?" Is Cho Jae-fu really dead? ”

An Shuli nodded, "It's really dead." ”

Mei Shuyu asked in surprise, "Can you find out what the cause of death is?" It's not going to be a death so suddenly, right? ”

An Shuli glanced at the sky, sat down and said, "The divine doctor said that he died of the poison of the death Gu, which is the same as the cause of death of the queen mother and Mrs. Wu Weihou in the past. ”

Mei Shuyu was shocked.

The sky kept rubbing his beard and said, in this world, if the cause of death cannot be found, it is that he died of death Gu. If it weren't for the phoenix tree in the East Palace, would it be difficult to have such flowers and trees elsewhere? It's hard to say. ”

Mei Shuyu asked An Shuli, "What should I do then?" What did Zhao Fu say? When the words fell, he slapped his head, "There is no man in the Zhao Mansion, who is in charge?" ”

An Shu said, "Mrs. Zhao fainted from crying, and now she is the head of Miss Zhao's house." ”

Mei Shuyu said, "Zhao Zaifu is gone, there is only one orphan girl and widow left, and the river valley controls the water, which has almost hollowed out the Zhao Mansion's deposits, and I am afraid that the life of the Zhao Mansion will not be easy to mix in the future." ”

An Shuli looked at Mei Shuyu, and seeing that he seemed to be worried about Zhao Mansion, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Sorry for Miss Zhao Mansion?" ”

Mei Shuyu coughed.

An Shuli said to him, "Since you have a heart, don't do nothing, you don't do anything, and she doesn't know that you want to be good to her in your heart." ”

Mei Shuyu coughed again, looking at An Shuli unnaturally, "Zhao Mansion doesn't look down on me." ”

"I didn't like it before, but now I don't necessarily look down on it." An Shu left the road, "Since you returned to Beijing from the southwest, the threshold of Meifu is about to be broken. If you want to marry Miss Zhaofu, it's not that difficult. However, now that Zhao Zaifu is gone, Miss Zhao Fu has to keep her filial piety, I am afraid that you will have to wait for her to pass the hot filial piety period before you can mention it. ”

Mei Shuyu touched her head, "In the past, Zhao Zaifu was aiming at the prince's cousin, and after the prince's cousin got engaged, he aimed at the prince's cousin and you, I have self-knowledge that is much worse than you, although I admire her, but I also know that I am not worthy of her, and now I ...... Do you think I have a play? ”

An Shuli smiled, "Zhao Zaifu is not Miss Zhao Fu, Miss Zhao Fu and Zhao Zaifu have some different ideas, if you are interested, you can try." ”

Mei Shuyu pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, Zhao Zaifu has an accident now, where does she still have the mind?" I'll give it a try when I have the chance. ”

An Shuli didn't say much, he wouldn't marry Miss Zhaofu, otherwise he wouldn't have let Hua Yan change his marriage for him. But in the end, it was because he begged Hua Yan to change his marriage, no matter what Zhao Zaifu was, Zhao Qingxi was innocent, and he listened to the words of the housekeeper of Zhao Mansion today, although he couldn't take care of her, but someone had the heart to take care of her, so he pushed the boat with his hand, if Mei Shuyu was fulfilled, it would also be a good thing.

Zhao Zaifu suddenly died at home at night, which not only alarmed the East Palace, but also alarmed the major mansions in the capital.

King Anyang was shocked for a long time and didn't come back to his senses, and asked Princess Anyang, "This king heard right, right?" Good people, how can you say that if you don't, it's gone? ”

Although Princess Anyang looked down on Zhao Zaifu's selfish methods of calculating her son, and had no contact with Zhao Mansion, she was also very shocked, "It's really too sudden, it's too late today, it's not good to go to Zhao Mansion, you always have a game with Zhao Zaifu's colleagues, and you can go to the mansion tomorrow to have a look." ”

King Anyang nodded, he naturally wanted to take a look, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was unwell after returning to Beijing, and it was Li'er who took the housekeeper of the East Palace and the divine doctor Tian Buzhi to replace the Zhao Mansion of His Royal Highness the Prince." The words fell, and asked Princess Anyang's opinion, "Why don't you send someone to the East Palace to ask Li'er what's going on?" Inquire first? ”

Princess Anyang shook her head, "What do you ask?" My son has a lot of things, it's like you come in and are idle every day, don't bother him. ”

King Anyang stopped his mouth and sighed silently, his position in the princess's heart will never be as good as the second son, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been looking at the new students more and more since the autumn examination, and the new generation of courtiers is more and more used, and now the older generation is more and more unreused, and now he has to wait in a long line behind his son, his son is busy, but he is indeed idle, even in the palace, the emperor is unconscious, and their courtiers can't see the emperor, and only deal with some relatively unimportant court affairs every day.

Jing Guogong is a tough guy and a rough man, different from King Anyang, when he heard that Zhao Zaifu had an accident, he jumped up and waved his hand, "Can't you?" That old boy is very treacherous, how can he suddenly die quietly? Is there a mistake in the message? I'll go to the Zhao Mansion now. ”

Duchess Jingguo grabbed him, "It is said that the Zhao Mansion cried a lot, and they all went to the East Palace to invite His Royal Highness the Prince, it must not be fake." It's getting late, if you want to go, you'd better go tomorrow. In case there is any conspiracy here, it is not good for you to rush over at this time. ”

Jing Guogong glared, "Lao Tzu is doing right, sitting upright, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

Mrs. Zhao also glared at him, "Zhao Zaifu is really dead, it's a big deal, it's not a matter of you being upright or improper." With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, what are you anxious about? Don't forget, we can be regarded as half of the crown princess's mother's family, and now the crown princess is missing, and her whereabouts have not been found. ”

At the mention of Hua Yan, Jing Guogong suddenly stopped thinking, "Okay, listen to you." ”

The other prefectures watched the movements of the Anyang Mansion and the Jingguo Mansion, and saw that no one went to the two mansions, so they did not pass.

So, this night, the capital was in the cry of the Zhao Mansion until dawn.
