Chapter 42: Waist Cards
Everyone followed the prestige, and there was really a white shadow by the lake, which looked extremely strange in the moonlight.
The strangest thing is that the figure is floating, slowly moving around the artificial lake.
When the figure approached the place where the eldest prince was ambushed for the third time, the eldest prince gave an order, and Fu Shun picked up the fire oil that had been prepared long ago and poured it on the figure.
"Let you play tricks!" After pouring the oil on Fushun, he ran away as fast as he could.
The figure was still overwhelmed by the sudden attack, and before he could tell that what was on his body was kerosene, he saw several fiery arrows flying towards him.
"Bang!"
Although the figure could dodge a few arrows, but could not stand the flames passing by, the fire oil on his body suddenly burned, even a few rolls on the ground could not be extinguished, fortunately, in a hurry, he remembered that there was a lake around him, and without saying a word, he turned over and went into the water.
"Poof!"
When the eldest prince saw the burning man jumping into the lake, he hurriedly ordered the eunuchs around him to go down and arrest him.
Several eunuchs naturally didn't dare to slack off, and jumped into the water one after another.
After a while, several eunuchs went ashore wet and said carefully: "Your Highness, the people have run away." ”
Seeing that tonight's arrangement had fallen short, the eldest prince threw the bow and crossbow in his hand on the ground to vent his anger.
"Your Highness is angry." The eunuchs said in unison.
The eldest prince only felt depressed, but he heard Nie Yan's voice behind him.
"It's just a little minion, why bother?"
Nie Yan came from behind the shadow of the tree, holding a black sign in her hand.
"But the mother, if you catch that person and interrogate you, maybe you can find the mastermind behind the murder of the mother." The eldest prince was angry.
Nie Yan smiled, handed the sign in her hand to the eldest prince and said, "Don't be so troublesome, look at this." ”
The eldest prince took the sign and saw that it was originally a wooden brand, which had been broken after the fire, but he could still vaguely see that there were still two majestic seal characters on it - "Zhenguo"!
"This is what the minions picked up on the ground where the man had rolled." Fushun explained.
The eldest prince glanced at Fushun unexpectedly, and felt that this eunuch was careful, and this brand thought to be the identity waist card of the Zhenguo Mansion.
"Zhenguo Mansion? Could it be that Concubine Qi? The eldest prince quickly thought of Concubine Qi.
Nie Yan nodded and said, "I didn't expect her to be in such a hurry to stand up for Concubine Zhao." ”
After saying that, Nie Yan glanced at the eldest prince again, and suddenly felt that it was better not to let him know too much about such harem matters.
It was Nie Yan who said again: "Let's end here tonight, it's getting late, go back early to rest." Tomorrow your father will test your homework. ”
The eldest prince remembered that tomorrow was the day for Xiao Yu to test his homework, so he no longer bothered about the follow-up, and returned to the west hall after retiring with Nie Yan.
"Fushun, pay attention to whether anyone in the palace has been burned extensively in the past few days, and then send someone to monitor it." Nie Yan commanded.
Fu Ying thought about it and asked, "Niangniang, the palace maid caught by the eldest prince over there wants to be released?" ”
"If there's nothing suspicious, let it go."
Nie Yan still can't care about people's lives......
But it is said that after Cao Chun asked Xiao Yu to pardon Xu Chengfang's children that day, he tidied up and down the house, and added a lot of furniture inside and out.
When Xu Chengfang was alive, he was the master who gave his daughter Xu to this most proud disciple. And Cao Chun has long been interested in his junior sister who has been a childhood sweetheart since childhood.
originally thought that it would be difficult to see my sister again in this life, but I didn't expect God to be considerate of me.
Cao Chun was thinking like this in his yard, but he saw his subordinates hurriedly running and saying, "My lord, there are a few officers and soldiers outside looking for you, saying that they have come back from the border pass...... Ay...... What are you doing so fast?! ”
As soon as Cao Chun heard the word Bianguan, he immediately thought of his junior sister, but counting the days, unless it was a fast horse back and forth, it was not so fast, could it be a junior brother?
Whoever it was, he couldn't wait to see it.
But as soon as Cao Chun arrived at the main hall, he only saw a few military attachés wearing seven-grade official uniforms with strong muscles, and he didn't even see anyone who looked like a junior brother, let alone a junior sister.
Don't......
Cao Chun felt an ominous premonition rise in his heart.
"Excuse me, but Lord Cao Chuncao?"
One of the military attaches at the head asked.
"Exactly down there." Cao Chun replied.
"The last general went to the border pass to pick up the Xu sisters and brothers at the behest of the saint, but when the last general rushed to the border pass, he heard the local Hu County order that Miss Xu had already returned to Beijing with the princess Nanzhan who was close at the beginning, that is, the current concubine Niangniang. As for the junior brother of the Xu family who filled the army in the northwest, the people who were sent to the other road have also come back to resume their lives, and it turns out that the younger brother of the Xu family has already been secretly transferred, and I don't know where he was transferred. ”
"Gonggong Xu, who passed the decree, said that those two people were relatives of Lord Cao, and he came to inform Lord Cao by the last general."
The military attache said nothing, but seeing that Cao Chun was stunned and unmoved, he couldn't help but call: "Lord Cao? Lord Cao? ”
Cao Chun came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing." This time, you're going to have to make a trip. ”
After speaking, Cao Chun motioned to the subordinates who came with him to take out a few ingots of silver, and gave them to the military attaché and said, "A little tea money is not a tribute." ”
"Lord Cao, you are so polite, you are all doing things for the emperor." The soldier excused himself, but accepted the money.
Cao Chun sent away a few military attachés, but he sat on the Taishi's chair as if he had lost his strength.
Although he followed Concubine Shu back to Beijing, she must be a palace maid with Concubine Shu, and she was not allowed to leave the palace at will.
But Cao Chun has to go to the palace pharmacy every day, it's not that my sister doesn't know this rule, why doesn't my sister come to me?
This question bothered Cao Chun, but he had no clue when he thought about it, since he was there for Concubine Shu, he would think that Concubine Shu would go to Beichen Palace on the grounds of asking for peace.
As for how the junior sister can follow her back to Beijing because she is obviously guilty, Cao Chun didn't think much about it.
Early the next morning, Cao Chun entered the palace with the medicine box, and after responding to the imperial pharmacy, he went straight to Nie Yan's Beichen Palace.
"Niangniang, Cao Chun Cao asked for a visit, saying that he was asking for peace for Niangniang."
Wan Hui entered the hall to report.
Nie Yan heard Xiao Yu mention that Nie Yan was diagnosed and treated by this Cao Imperial Doctor last time, and according to what Su Yun said later, then this Cao Imperial Doctor should be the one who developed the antidote.
In this way, it can be regarded as saving Nie Yan's life.
And Nie Yan didn't know that Cao Chun's intention to come here was not to drink, and it was Cao Chun who was responsible for coming to ask for the pulse, so as to say: "Please let him in." ”
Wan Hui went out as she said, but Su Yun's face changed and said to Nie Yan: "Niangniang, the slave maid is a little unwell, can you allow the slave maid to go down and rest for a while?" ”
