Chapter 14: Murder with a Knife (3)

Want Gu Zijun to pour tea for herself to make amends?

Pei Yaowei just thought about the picture, so he waved his hand again and again: "Excuse me, I don't dare to accept Zhang Tinghou's apology, I just hope that he will scold me a few words behind my back in the future!" ”

Instant rain giggled, and when she came to the end, she remembered something, but she was a little worried: "But princess, the medicinal powder you asked Mr. Yiyuan to prepare...... It shouldn't be a danger to human life, right? ”

Pei Yaowei shook her head.

Speaking of which, this time he can avoid the flames of war and easily take Moriyan Fort, and Mr. Yiyuan should be the first credit.

Before going south, she had instructed Mr. Yiyuan that after arriving in Shufan County, she ordered people to scatter the medicinal powder prepared in the morning among the water sources of several major cities such as Ciyun, especially to let Li Lian send someone to secretly send a copy to the Zhou garrison in Senyan Fort.

"Don't worry," she comforted Instant Rain, "Drinking water mixed with this medicinal powder will make the human body hot and tired, and the pulse will be weak, as if infected with the plague." But in fact, it only takes 10 days and half a month to get rid of the high fever on its own, and after being 'cured', their bodies can be stronger than before. According to Mr. Yiyuan's own words, those who have taken this medicine will not be able to get on the stomach of several common diseases in the south in the future. ”

When Instant Rain heard it, she couldn't help but be surprised: "There is such a thing?!" ”

Pei Yao smiled and said, "Originally, when I heard Mr. Yiyuan mention this medicine by chance, I was also surprised. For a while, I had been thinking about how to successfully take down this barrier outside Shufan County without fighting with the Zhou State, and when I had a headache, I remembered Mr.'s magical powers. Mr. Yiyuan dared to guarantee with his life, and I also saw a few people who had used this medicine, so I dared to let him do it. ”

Most of the garrison of Zhou Guo in Senyan Fort was infected with the symptoms of 'plague', and even the main general was covered with high fever, headache and discomfort. In panic, it was logical for the troops to withdraw and flee for their lives.

After listening to the ins and outs, the joy gradually calmed down, and when she looked at the princess in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed on her face.

If you really want to talk about it, you should pour tea and water for Princess Chu, so that she can make amends for her sins, how can Gu Zijun be the only one?

As early as when His Royal Highness the King of Chu temporarily handed over the authority to her, Gu Zijun, Li Lian, Wei Chaoyang, plus Instant Yu herself, which of the four henchmen in front of her had no doubts or slander against her?

Not to mention anything else, just when Li Lin was ordered to go to Shufan County, he was not so willing.

"Princess, there are some things that the slave and maid don't say, and you should have seen it." Instant Yu hesitated for a long time, although he was twisting, but in the end he still said: "In the past, the slave and the maid and others were all blind and underestimated you, and I hope that you will have a lot of forgiveness for the disrespect of the slave and maid." ”

As she spoke, she took a step back and raised her arm to salute.

Pei Yaowei smiled faintly, got up and helped her.

"Girls don't have to be like that." She said, "Honestly, it's not your fault. When the king of Chu married me and entered the door, he did not marry the princess sincerely, I am his subordinate like you, how he treats me, you look at it in your eyes, it is natural to go up and down, and it is also appropriate to be vigilant.

He is your unique master, and you think of him in everything, and you are afraid that he will suffer, and this is all the more due loyalty. I'm not so careful not to embarrass your loyalty, I just hope that for a long time, you can see what I mean to him. ”

When Instantaneous Rain heard her say this, she became more and more ashamed, and after a long time, she said seriously: "The slave has indeed questioned your mind more than once in the past. Especially...... Earlier, you had an argument with Your Highness, and in the early morning your Highness was so angry that he rode his horse to the Xianling Tomb.

But now, seeing that you have done so much for the affairs of the palace these days, and the relationship between you and Your Highness is ......"

When Instant Rain said this, he was already extremely moved.

She held back her tears and continued: "You may not know that since the end of the first emperor, His Highness has been living a lifeless life, and the slaves and maids are waiting from the side, and it is rare to see His Highness laugh a few times throughout the year. It wasn't until you entered the mansion that Your Highness changed little by little-

He became more and more like Wu Yao, when he was a teenager. ”

Pei Yao listened quietly, as if there was a small insect jumping around in her heart, making people itch and hurt.

She thought: How could I not know.

Instant Rain said: "Even if it is not for your help in political affairs, even if it is only for the pleasure you bring to Your Highness, the slave maid should respect you as a benefactor." She said and bowed again, this time, Pei Yaowei didn't stop her.

"Thank you, Princess. The slave maid is willing to give all the blessings of this life, and I wish you and His Highness to have a heart-to-heart and hold hands and grow old together. ”

Pei Yao finished worshipping her and helped her up.

"Thank you, girl." She smiled: "With such sincerity as you, I don't dare not pour out my heart and lungs to him." But then again......"

She took Instant Rain's hand and said, "Like Your Highness, I also hope to see you go smoothly and get what you want." ”

Hearing this, Instant Rain was slightly stunned.

After a while, she slowly lowered her head.

"May I inherit the princess's good words." She said softly.

After a few days, good news finally came from the end of Zhou Guo.

Kui Che, the eldest grandson of the Yuanyan Kui clan, was found dead less than a hundred miles south of the exhausting forest. Princess Zhen'an was furious when she heard the news, and she had already sent someone to escort Kui Che's body back to Fanjing. It is reported that the cause of his death was a sword killing, but he was killed by someone.

The news had just reached the dust capital, and Li Bai, who had finished his errand, followed back to the palace to resume his life.

"Weichen's trip, fortunately, not disgraced, now the last implication between Princess Zhen'an and the Kui clan has been broken, presumably even between the Yuwen clan and the Yuanyan Kui clan, it will never be good!"

In the Lingyun Palace, Li Bai did not change his suit, and when he spoke, his face was still full of excitement after seeing blood, "Your Majesty can rest assured, Kui Che's death, Zhou Guo has no main general to the north, and the wishful thinking will be chaotic, presumably there will be a turmoil in the country, and I will be able to rest easy for more than a year!" ”

Do you have peace of mind......

Xiao Chai silently read these four words, but he smiled in his heart.

Even if Zhou Guo's vain attempt to cross the wasteland was discovered by the Dark Guard Division early in the morning and prevented it in time, even if Zhou Guo couldn't fight for a while, the country's internal worries were enough for him to have a headache.

"If you do a good job, I will be rewarded." He said to Li Bai: "It's just that on the other hand, the affairs of the country, the Dark Guard Division can't be negligent. ”

Li Bai first responded, and then asked tentatively: "I don't know who Your Majesty is referring to?" ”

"Xiang's."

Li Bai was a little surprised.

Xiao Zhu said again: "Xiang Baby." ”

"General Wei?" Li Bai was really a little strange at this time: "Forgive Weichen for talking too much, what Your Majesty is uneasy about is not in Jiyang County, but in ...... Infant children? ”

Xiao Zhu's head said: "The Duke of Jiyang County wants to keep an eye on him, but compared to him, Xiangying has to ask the people under you to show ten times the energy to keep an eye on me." ”

Xiang Tao is cautious by nature, has been out of office for many years, and has never caused trouble. Xiao Chai was not at ease with him, but he really couldn't raise much suspicion.

But it's different.

Fame, status, talent, qualifications, he is only in his early twenties, but he lacks nothing. To tell the truth, Xiao Chai selfishly hoped to envelop him by his side and become a close minister like Jiang Yi. But for so many years, even if the position of General Wei is now sitting for him, Xiangying is always like a stone that is not hot, and the errand is done beautifully.

Xiao felt that he was young at first, and besides, when he first came to his side on an errand, he was also like this, so he didn't think much about it. But in the past year and a half, His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts have gradually changed again.

How many young talents don't want to follow the lord and make contributions?

Perhaps, Xiangying is not a stone that can't be covered with heat, but he won't be covered by himself alone?

Once this suspicion came out, especially after Pan's fall, Xiao Zhu's heart became more and more restless day by day.

At that end, Li Bai took the order and said solemnly: "Your Majesty's meaning, Weichen understands." General Wei was there to keep an eye on himself and did not dare to insult his life. ”

Xiao Zhu nodded slowly.

Chu Wangfu, Bathing Light Palace.

When Instant Rain reported the true news about Kui Che's death, dinner was being passed in the hall, Pei Yao listened to it, and his heart that had been hanging for many days finally fell completely, and the whole person collapsed on the chair, slumped to the ground, and did not want to move for a long time.

Now, the matter is completely over.

Xiao Di didn't feel much at first, but when he saw her happy at this time, he also rejoiced. He instructed the maid to bring the altar wine, and turned back to her and asked, "Are you happy now?" ”

"Then it depends on your highness, you are not satisfied." She stiffened up, looked at him through the table full of delicacies, smiled with a pair of eyes, and asked: "The matter of Zhou Guo is almost over, and the Kui family is like this, Yuwen Zhijun is busy with the aftermath, and he will definitely not dare to commit it in the short term." His Royal Highness the King of Chu, how did I do with this errand you gave me? Is there a disgrace to you? ”

The maid sent an altar of aged daughter Hong, and was about to open the altar for the master, but was stopped by Xiao Di.

With a wave of his hand, he sent both the left and right down.

"The princess and the king have the same heart, and what she does is not according to the king's wishes, and the king is grateful to the princess." He smiled lightly, "Speaking of which, it's not just me, I heard that a few days ago, Instant Rain had a heart-to-heart chat with you?" ”

Pei Yaowei didn't speak, but the smile on the corner of her lips couldn't be suppressed.

She thought, what Xiao Di said before, these henchmen of his, when they meet people of insight, have always been only heavy, not light, but now only from the perspective of Instant Rain, this is true.

Her mind drifted, and she was so happy that she unconsciously touched the jar of wine in front of her.

However, before his hand touched the edge of the wine jar, he was slapped suddenly.

The person on the other side squinted his eyes and asked, "You don't have a long memory, do you?" ”

Pei Yao covered his hands, flattened his mouth, and was scolding him in his heart for being unkind, when suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and thought of one thing-

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, what exactly ...... Which of us doesn't have a long memory? Her eyes narrowed worse than his, and she couldn't help but lean forward and ask slowly, "What should I remember about this wine?"

What do you remember? ”
