Extra-Thirteen - The Bitter Assassin

"Squeak" sounded softly, the moonlight shone into the silent room, and the breeze quietly swept in, blowing away the thick fragrance.

The young child on the couch seemed to be asleep, unaware of the siblings who had stepped lightly.

Kun Erlang half-bent over, stared at the sleeping face of the young child for a long time, and then reached out and pushed the thin body on the bed a few times, and saw that the other party was unconscious, so he smiled proudly: "What, just say that the medicine works well, I really slept to death." ”

"What the hell do you want?" Her Royal Highness seemed a little impatient, and she also took a few steps closer.

Erlang took out another medicine bottle from his arms: "This is the dumb medicine I got from Qiao Saburo, it is said that once people take it, they will have high fever, sore throat and become dumb, even the imperial doctor can't diagnose it, thinking it's a disease." "You will pour it into the mouth of the child.

"Qiao San's favorite person likes to boast, and if he is carefully detected, his father has to punish us severely." Xiaoxiao grabbed Erlang.

"Do you really want to recognize this brother?" Erlang was full of indifference: "I just vented my evil anger for my mother's concubine, rest assured, this time Qiao Saburo patted his chest and promised that there would be absolutely no mistake, when he couldn't speak, his biological mother died again, and no one could prove whether it was his father's bloodline, how could the clan bloodline be sloppy and sloppy, and finally it was sent to Zhuangzi to feed." ”

Xiaoxiao seemed to be moved when she heard this, Erlang got rid of the obstruction with a little struggle, and snorted coldly again: "If according to my temperament, I will simply poison him for a hundred, so as not to bother the mother concubine, only to do too much, I am afraid that it will make the mother concubine bear the notoriety of being unvirtuous, if Qiao San is not reliable this time, this medicine poison will not dumb him, next time, I will use the poison, it is a big deal to do things by one person, even if I go to the elders to bear the guilt, I have to remove this thorn in the flesh for the mother concubine, I don't believe it, My great-grandmother and grandfather would rebuke me for an unknown out-of-house scumbag. ”

After some tossing, Erlang and Xiaoxiao left, and did not forget to close the window.

The footsteps were far away, and in the darkness, the young child began to pant heavily, his chest rose and fell rapidly, his cheeks were swollen and red, and he felt that the dantian was hot, but his back was gradually cold, and within a moment, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his throat burned as if it was stuffed and burned, and it seemed like a high fever.

He couldn't help coughing, and realized that he could still make a sound, and tried his luck again, and it didn't get much of a hindrance.

I can't help but sneer secretly, although I don't know if the rumored wise and resourceful auxiliary king is worthy of his name, it seems that he gave birth to a ruthless and arrogant son, this dumb medicine is mostly ineffective, but it makes people seriously ill, but we must be cautious, if that kid really doesn't give up and uses poison again, isn't it crooked to disrupt the plan? Before meeting the Auxiliary King, he must not reveal his identity, let people know that he has martial arts, and he must not take his life in vain.

The current plan is to pretend to be deaf and dumb to deal with the past, which is the best policy.

So the next morning, as soon as Yijing got up, he heard about the strange incident of the "concubine" in the guest house who had an inexplicable high fever overnight, and after asking, of course, he also heard about Xiaoxiao and Erlang's "night detective", and couldn't help but support his forehead.

Of course, this matter will not be so simple, Xiao Xiaoxu doesn't have so many eyes, as for Erlang......

The princess remembered the exam of her prince not long ago-

The three sons each have a nursing mother and a nanny to take care of their daily life, especially the nanny, all of whom are loyal servants of the palace, very dedicated to the little master, and their feelings are not ordinary, but under the instructions of the prince, one day they slandered the three masters at the same time.

Da Lang's nanny: "There are some things, the slave and maid don't dare to say much, but they are really loyal and can't bear to see Da Lang's grievances...... You are the eldest son of the prince, although you have to wait for more than fifteen years before you ask for the title of prince, but the prince is the auxiliary king, and the queen mother is to show her grace, so she has already intended to be canonized in advance, but she doesn't want the prince to refuse several times...... There are gradually rumors that who taught Da Lang and Erlang and San Lang to be twins, this order of eldest and youngest is far from being as clear as ordinary...... It is said that Erlang is wise, and the city is deep, so I am afraid that he is unwilling to live on the throne of the county...... There is also San Lang, who has the most Xiao prince, and he has to love him even more...... The slave is really worried about Da Lang, if this is in the future, it will let Erlang and San Lang inherit the title, and the world is only afraid that you will lose your morality. ”

Of course, Yijing was informed by Yu Feng first, although she was the same husband and wife with Yu Feng's thoughts most of the time, but this time she felt that this test was really harsh, although the three sons were occasionally more competitive in their daily lives, and the siblings were generally very harmonious, so that their respective nannies instigated it, if this really aroused ambition and desire, wouldn't it be self-defeating? The sons are twins, they are the same age, and now they are juvenile and righteous, who can guarantee that it will not provoke conflicts.

Yu Feng insisted: "If they don't have twins, just because of the twins, I am worried that as they get older, they will breed suspicions, and they should not have ideas to lead to sibling disputes. If there is still greed and disharmony due to the instigation of cronies, then strict discipline may be reversed. ”

Yijing had no choice but to give up.

But said that Da Lang, after listening to the words of the nanny, immediately became angry and scolded sharply, and wanted to give the elders to severely punish the nanny to set an example, but the nanny knelt on the ground and did not cry and begged for mercy, Da Lang was somewhat unbearable, and when he hesitated, San Lang came to him.

It turned out that San Lang's nanny also had a saying: "The slave maid heard that the prince had been canonized as the son of the family several times, which was really fortunate for San Lang, to talk about it, the title should have been inherited by the eldest son, but San Lang was also the princess's heir, and he was a twin brother with Da Lang, so it was a few hours late, if it was in another family, it would be fine, but in our house, the prince is the auxiliary prince, and he is trusted by the queen mother, and he is respected by the saints, if it is a good choice, it is very likely to be registered...... To put it mildly, San Lang is more Xiao Wang Ye than Da Lang......"

San Lang was obsessed with the chess game in the hand at the time, and he didn't take the nanny's words into his ears at all, which made the nanny embarrassed, and he said in an accentuated tone: "The slaves and maids are all for the sake of Langjun." ”

Saburo looked up: "What is for me?" ”

Babysitter: ......

Finally, after repeating the words again, San Lang threw away the chess game: "Narrow view! is a twin brother, there is also an order of the eldest and youngest, and the state has a law of etiquette, precisely because the father is an auxiliary minister, and his words and deeds should be an example for hundreds of officials, how can it be disrespectful? I didn't want to deal with it, but after thinking about it again, I was worried that my brother would learn that it would be a bad thing if it spread out, so I simply took my nanny to ask my brother for guilt and let him be punished.

It's not that San Lang doesn't get into favors, it's just because he knows that his brother is big and serious, and he won't be as knowledgeable as a servant, but it's just a small punishment and a big precept.

This time Da Lang is even more hesitant, just his nanny has the intention of instigating, and he can also privately return to the mother concubine to punish him, and now he goes around San Lang's nanny, I am afraid that the mother concubine will be punished, and it will provoke the servants to gossip, and the scandal of brother discord will be derived. So he opened his heart to San Lang and talked, each warned the nanny, and planned to calm things down, only in the name of the nanny who had worked hard for many years and should be honored, he returned to his mother and sent the two out of the house to settle, which also counted the whole of the nanny's care, and it was not to cause criticism.

The husband and wife of the auxiliary government were naturally satisfied with the response of their two sons, but what bothered the two was Erlang's attitude.

Of course, Jiro's nanny also said something similar to Saburo's nanny.

Erlang was full of interest: "Mama really thinks so? ”

The nanny was drenched in a cold sweat and had to say yes.

Erlang was smiling but noncommittal, and his attitude was really ambiguous.

After waiting for a few days, Erlang still didn't respond, and Yu Feng finally ordered him to ask.

Kun Erlang smiled slyly: "The son's nanny is carefully selected by the mother concubine, and she has always done her duty, and it is really strange to suddenly say this provocative word, and the son asked again, which made the grandmother worried, and it was even more anxious to see that her son seemed to hear it in her ears, which was obvious...... It's the father who is tempting, how can he use his son to deal with many things. ”

Husband and wife of the Auxiliary Minister: ......

As far as Erlang's mind at this time, how could he not be like when he was young, he would do such a purely mischievous behavior as drugging and causing a disagreeable gentleman to have diarrhea, not to mention that Xiaoxiao would not mess with him, and he went to the guest house in the middle of the night to take down the "concubine" of unknown origin, which made the family seriously ill and vented his anger.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xiaoxiao and Erlang to come hand in hand and take the initiative to report last night's incident.

Erlang took the initiative, spoke first, and "despised" his eldest sister by the way: "Sister's idea is to torture people to extract confessions, so that they can confess what the conspiracy is, if it is really so easy, no one will fight to die and fight to enter the house, although the son has an idea, although it is incredible, it is also the only possibility...... That young boy is an assassin, and the reason for this turmoil is nothing more than to let us relax our vigilance and assassinate us when my father returns for interrogation! ”

Xiaoxiao was full of depression for Erlang's ridicule, but she had to admit that this time she was really thinking simply, so she only snorted and did not refute.

Erlang followed up and said: "But it is precisely because of the unbelievable that my son wants to make a tentative strategy...... There is no such thing as a fragrance at all, my son intends to talk to the eldest sister in a low voice, just to confuse the other party, to see how he responds, if the son is suspicious, he can't hear the conversation between the two of us and pretend to be stunned by me, and besides, I stand on the edge of the bed and shout to pour him dumb medicine, can he still wake up? No matter how greedy he is, I've started to pour medicine, and he has to wake up, right? The son deliberately warned that if the dumb medicine was ineffective, he would use the poison next time, so according to his son's guess, the young child was afraid that he would really be dumb...... That medicine is actually causing people to have a high fever and sore throat, where can it make people lose their voice, which is enough to prove that the kid is pretending to be deaf and dumb. ”

Xiaoxiao also said at this time: "Mother, that young / child can hear the whispered conversation clearly, and is willing to risk being dumb and forbearance, which shows that he is not only a martial artist but also has the determination to risk his life, and he should be a dead man!" Although the daughter thought the second brother's speculation was unbelievable at first, she had to believe it at this time. ”

Yijing also firmly believes that "the concubine must be dumb", and was amazed by Erlang's keen cunning, secretly thinking that even if her prince was not reborn, he would not have such a treacherous scheming when he was twelve years old, it was far away, but at this time, he reprimanded with a serious expression: "What nonsense!" Since you have suspicions, just tell your elders to take more precautions, such reckless behavior, in case the other party is forced to resist, how can you be injured? ”

The corners of Erlang's eyes crooked: "The mother concubine is too worried, if the son is suspicious, then the young / child is not an assassin and does not know martial arts, where can he hurt his son?" Even if he was an assassin, his goal was also his father's goal, and since he had already saved his mortal heart, and his son declared that it was just a dumb medicine, he would definitely take the risk of pretending to be confused, and would not attack his son and fall short...... The son is now only curious, what kind of ability does that kid have, he dares to sneak into the palace alone to assassinate, the son asks his mother for permission, and allows his son to have a discussion with him......"

"Don't even think about it!" The princess was really serious this time, grabbed Erlang's palm and gave it to her, and then shouted at Xiaoxiao: "I also infer that this son should be an assassin in the Northern Plains, it is a matter of military and political affairs, don't be rash, wait for your father to return and make a decision, now is not the time to startle the snake!" ”

But Yijing was inevitably curious, so he took advantage of the "concubine's" high fever and acute illness, and specially invited Wei Ran to the house for diagnosis and treatment.

"Shuzi" wanted to pretend to be sick, so he had to be at the mercy, but he really "lost his voice and became dumb", Wei Ran used the needle to make him unconscious, but he deducted his pulse and secretly applied his true qi, although the young / child was asleep, he subconsciously still resisted with luck, and his martial arts were even more undoubted. And Wei Ran concluded: "Falling into a lethargy but still deep and long, this person's martial arts are extraordinary, the princess is still careful, it is best to be strictly vigilant." ”

Wei Ran also made a judgment on the princess's doubts: "Although this person looks like a child, but his age is an adult, it is said that there is a strange disease in the world, although it is rare but exists, it is said that the patient is about ten years old and stops developing, maintaining the appearance of a child, this assassin should be a person suffering from a strange disease, whether he travels or is in the palace, he has his own soldiers to protect him, it is very difficult for the assassin to approach, and only this plan can succeed." ”

Since it has been determined that this person is a dead man, Yijing naturally will not let him have a chance to meet Yu Feng again, and he will not even let him live in the guest house, while he is unconscious, the iron lock is added and carried to the stone prison, and Hengzhi This person entered the house alone, and there was no chance to deliver the letter out, but outsiders still did not notice, for a while, the bloody case and suspected romance that happened in the Chu Wangfu spread in Kyoto City, but outsiders really didn't expect that the "concubine" had become a prisoner, not to mention stabbing, and there was no chance to bite his tongue and commit suicide.
