"Borrow the forehead hair, sideburns, eyelashes, and middle fingernails of the right hand." The steward recited it smoothly, and it seemed that he had been thinking about it for a long time.

Mrs. Dong's face darkened halfway through hearing this, and he said angrily: "Nonsense, it's too nonsense!" ”

The steward respectfully asked, "Do you want to come by yourself, or let us help you cut your hair and nails?" ”

Dong Taishi was not afraid, and solemnly reprimanded: "The sister of the prince is only twelve years old, she is just messing around, you don't persuade her, but you also go crazy with her, listen to the nonsense of the Taoist priest of Maoshan Mountain, and do such ridiculous ghost things?" ”

The steward replied respectfully: "As long as there is a way to make my family father wake up, it is a good way." ”

Mrs. Dong almost broke his work and wanted to open his mouth to scold. Taking two breaths, he restrained his anger before he coldly said: "This official is an official of the imperial court, you dare to cause harm, how will you explain to the saint in the future?" ”

Don't look at the fact that this palace steward is not very old, has no quality and no position, he is not flustered in the face of the interrogation of the imperial master, and calmly replied: "If this matter does not work, we will lose the son, and the prince will lose hair, nails and a little face, and the saint will not take the light and abandon the heavy." If this can be done, then the master will have a meritorious role in recalling the son of the world, and the saint will also issue a decree to praise you, how can you be embarrassed to embarrass us. ”

"What a little face! You have also captured the daughter of your own officer! Master Dong was furious.

"Miss is married to the princess, and the princess and the palace have become in-laws, so there is no reason not to help with this." The steward said lightly.

Dong Taishi reprimanded: "Wake up, people are dead, and anything you do is in vain. The official advises you to quickly put back the little girl and let the official leave, otherwise tomorrow the official will definitely be handed to the saint. ”

Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, the steward sighed and made a gesture, so two men dressed as practitioners came out of the ear rooms on both sides and slowly walked towards the Taishi.

Dong Taishi was about to resist, but there was a sudden trance in his mind, and the objects in front of him turned into vague water traces.

It turns out that the tea has long been drugged, and if the master is obedient, he can get the antidote, otherwise he will put the person down first.

Taishi Dong no longer expected that the dignified Prince's Mansion would also use this kind of third-rate trick only used by rural wild shops, so he could only close his eyes unwillingly and lie back.

Under the instruction of the steward, the two of them did whatever they wanted to the Taishi......

Then the two of them rode on the fast horses that had been prepared in the palace and galloped towards the Falling Star Slope outside the city.

Here back to the mountains and water, back to the Yuqiao Mountain, and the Ziyan River in the distance, is the first feng shui treasure around the capital, by countless dignitaries and nobles as a mausoleum. Every inch of land is golden, and there are still too many people rushing to it.

However, these 100 miles are the fiefdom of Yuzhang Wangfu, they have already demarcated the best piece of treasure land for their own family, repaired the luxurious mausoleum that is not inferior to the imperial tomb, and has been completed for many years, and no one has yet entered the master, but I didn't expect that the great prince Yuwen Mingchuan was in the prime of life, died young, and was about to lie in this dark and cold tomb.

********

Less than two miles away from here, in a farmhouse at the foot of Yuqiao Mountain, Yuwang Yuwen Tan listened to Ji Xuan's return and thought: "He didn't die so easily, most of it was fake." ”

Ji Xuan said: "This matter is true, the news brought back by several waves of people is the same, it seems that the son of the world has passed away." ”

Yu Wentan asked, "What are the movements of Xiaowei?" ”

Ji Xuan replied: "This is also a strange thing, half of Li Zhouyu's eyeliner is outside the Yuzhang Palace, and the other half is outside the Dong Mansion, staring at it day and night. ”

Yu Wentan frowned and asked, "Why is this matter still involved in the Dong Mansion?" ”

Ji Xuan said: "It's also a confused account, Mrs. Dong miscalculated, she wanted to marry her granddaughter to the prince as a concubine, but unexpectedly, the news that the son of the world was in a coma came out the next day." The people of the palace went to the Dong Mansion and took away a young lady, and it was really strange that she wanted to be buried alive with the prince. ”

Yu Wentan's face was pale and crystalline, and his two sword eyebrows became more and more heroic.

After hearing this, his brows stretched, and he said coldly: "It's indeed a strange thing, but it's definitely not caused by inadvertence. Make a storm and trigger all parties to take action. I suddenly went to the Dong Mansion to lure me out. ”

Ji Xuan asked, "The prince doesn't plan to ask about this matter?" ”

Yuwen Tan shook his head and said: "I don't believe that the Styx River will really die, since I know that it is a trap, why bother to go through this troubled water." ”

Ji Xuan said: "Then the prince doesn't ask, which young lady was arrested and buried this time?" ”

"It's not about me." There is no temperature in Yu Wentan's voice.

After a slight pause, Ji Xuan still spoke: "But under the current situation, Taishi Dong intends to choose a daughter to be sent to Yuwang's Mansion, and it will be done in the near future." He is picking, you are also picking, prince, in case the prey you pick is caught by others, you can only retreat to the second. ”

Yu Wentan said calmly: "The one I want is already in my hand, and I won't leave her, so why do I need to ask for it." ”

Ji Xuan knew that Dong Xuanying, the second lady of the Dong family, was now on Yuqiao Mountain, originally in the name of the bamboo forest on the mountain suitable for piano practice, and she would leave in a few days. But she has less time to practice the piano every day, but more time to come to see the prince.

The prince did not pretend, no matter what she said and asked, the prince was over with a "hmm", obviously impatient to deal with her.

Rao is like this, and he can't discourage her enthusiasm, and he can't stop her from washing her hands and making soup, and sending it to the prince's table several times a day. can't stop her from becoming more and more beautiful every night, dressing up like a fairy every night, going to the courtyard where the prince is resting, and playing the song "Lotus Heart".

But as far as Ji Xuan knew, the prince didn't open the door for her once, nor did he let her into the house once, leaving her to feed mosquitoes under the romantic night sky outside, and he didn't even reward her with saliva.

The prince's injuries gradually improved, but Dong Xuanying's face was haggard, and there was unwillingness in her eyes.

Obviously, in the past few days, getting along day and night, with such a cousin who is shy of flowers in the moon, the prince is not even interested in moving her.

At this moment, hearing the prince say that what he wanted had been chosen, that is, Dong Xuanying, Ji Xuan couldn't help but be surprised, he thought that the prince was so indifferent to Dong Xuanying, she should not have this opportunity.

"The second lady of the Dong family is empty of beauty and not witty enough," Ji Xuan put forward a pertinent opinion, "The subordinates think that she can't help the prince." ”

"I didn't plan to let her help, and my uncle just let someone go into the palace and take away half of the princess's family affairs, so he was willing to go all out to compete with Liu Youcheng." Yu Wentan calmly analyzed the situation, "It's just right to be stupid, smart people are always uneasy." ”

Ji Xuan hesitated, but still persuaded: "But you know the princess's temperament, she doesn't like people to put up flags on her territory, and Miss Dong Er is a master who can cause trouble, these two are placed in a mansion, if you hit me and I will top you, the mansion will not be peaceful in the future." ”

Yu Wentan put down the teacup in his hand, quietly raised his eyes to look at Ji Xuan, and said after a while: "You are also very strange tonight, and you are even worried about which woman I accept." Could it be that someone bought you off and made you a lobbyist? ”

Ji Xuan smiled and said: "Lord Wang, you are also confused, the finances of the entire Dong Mansion are in the hands of the second young lady's mother, she didn't give me any money, let me speak well for her daughter, how can others buy me." ”

"Since no one hires you to speak, you can save your worries and only worry about the affairs of Yihou." Yu Wentan said in a deep voice, "I'm worried that Li Zhouyu has other arrangements, so he will repeatedly connive at Yihou to do those things, and when the deployment is completed, Yihou will be struggling." ”

After a pause, Ji Xuan asked, "Lord Wang, are you deliberately diverting the topic?" Is the prince afraid that his subordinates will ask you about the things in your heart? ”

Yuwen Tan frowned and looked at Ji Xuan unhappily: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm okay in my heart, it's you who fainted." ”

Ji Xuan stated: "Half a month ago, my subordinates cleaned up the study for the prince, and I accidentally found a picture of a lady's pipa, and the eyebrows and eyes on it were familiar. Later, when I met with the fourth lady of the Dong family in Famen Temple, I suddenly remembered that the beauty painted by the prince was her. Since the prince has this intention, why don't you agree with the princess to take Miss Dong Si back to the house? ”

Yu Wentan said coldly: "You are so faint, you should go and grab the medicine and take it." ”

Ji Xuan said: "Thank you for the prince's care, the subordinates will take medicine later, but the subordinates want to care about the prince's family affairs first." ”

"It's none of your business."

"The prince's daily life has always been the responsibility of his subordinates," Ji Xuan's face fell silent, and there was a little sadness in his voice, "In the past, the subordinates also thought that the matter between the prince and the woman was the private matter of the prince, and it was not the turn of the subordinates to ask, so the subordinates watched the prince suffer himself, and every time he was indifferent to the former princess, he turned around and borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, although the subordinates were strange in their hearts, they did not say a word." It wasn't until a few days ago that my subordinates knew that the prince had been torturing himself all these years, and it was clear that the woman he liked was by his side, but you couldn't love her, and after knowing this truth, his subordinates were really heartbroken. ”

"It's none of your business." Yuwen Tan raised his eyebrows coldly, "If you mean what happened in the Three Temples that night, then you are very wrong. ”

"What's wrong? What the prince said himself, are there also those who do not count? ”

"I just don't count." Yu Wentan denied it, "I haven't said what I said that night, and you haven't heard it, so there is no need to mention it again." The woman I liked, Wei Qihua counted one, Dong Xuanying also counted one, and these two people lived in the palace, and I was satisfied. ”

"Your subordinates are not fools," Ji Xuan said seriously, "What you say is sincere, those words are false and wrongful, and your subordinates can tell the difference." What's more, for Miss Dong Er, you can't even do perfunctory things, how can you face each other day and night in the future? As for Miss Dong Si, since you are still willing to spend time painting her portrait, you can at least ......"

"I hear the sound of horses' hooves outside, you go and see." Yu Wen Tan commanded.

Ji Xuan was helpless, got out of the farmhouse, looked towards the end of the road, and in the hazy fog in the distance, a man and a rider rushed far away. Although that figure was hidden in the twilight and mist, Ji Xuan still recognized it at a glance, it was the Tianyi Pavilion Master, Wei Yeji.

Ji Xuan knew that he had come to the prince and talked about things that could not be known to the third person, so he immediately turned over and went to the distant intersection to guard them.

Although Ji Xuan walked in a hurry, the person who came had already seen him from a distance and called out to him-

"Commander Xuan, I just happened to meet you, so I'll tell you by the way. I met Ji Qing in a tavern in Sanlipo outside the city, he drank all the wine there, and he was still drilling into other people's wine cellars, you go and take care of it. ”

"Ji Qing? Is he okay? Ji Xuan's eyes lit up, he was struggling to find Ji Qing everywhere, thinking that something had happened to him, but he didn't expect him to run to get drunk.

"It doesn't look like it's okay, the three souls don't see the lost appearance of two and a half souls, I don't pay attention to him when I say hello." Come humanely.

"Sorry, thank you, farewell." Ji Xuan immediately rode his horse and headed towards Sanlipo.

The visitor walked outside the farmhouse, and before he entered the house, Yu Wentan's voice floated out like a ghost-

"You lied to me, there is no soul grass in the world, right?"

The person who came was stunned, but then smiled and said: "The prince alone took my two younger sisters, and he should be grateful, how can he still ask the teacher for sin." I don't even blame you, since you killed my sister ruthlessly, why didn't you kill Li Zhouyu easily. ”
