"You say the tea is non-toxic?" Zhu Yunwen wrinkled his eyebrows and glared at the doctor in front of him, and ordered, "Then you can drink a cup and show it to the palace." ”

The doctor knelt on the ground, trembling and holding the cold tea on the table, and drank it all with his head up, proving that he was right. Zhu Yunwen suddenly became suspicious, there is no poison in the tea? But what he saw with his own eyes just now, He Angelica fell down after taking a sip of tea, and Luo Chuanpu also concluded that she was highly poisoned and would die soon. Could it be that they were conspiring?

"Someone! Lead Hongu to the backyard! ”

Zhu Yunwen strode out, wanting to see with his own eyes whether He Angelica was alive or dead. The eunuch was playing two rows of palace lights, and when he was about to walk to the backyard, a fat white middle-aged man with a beard trotted over, panting and saying, "Your Highness, something is wrong!" After the dishes for the banquet were removed, a eunuch stole a piece of duck meat on his plate, and suddenly bled to death! ”

Zhu Yunwen paused, his sharp eyes swept towards the middle-aged man, and his voice squeezed out from between his teeth: "Which table does the poisonous duck meat come from?" Who is running tonight's banquet? ”

The middle-aged man showed a hesitant expression, and replied hesitantly: "That crystal plate duck is a dish on the main table of Qingning County...... A lot of pieces were eaten, and it should have been eaten by the county lord himself. In addition, Xiao Chen asked people to try the other dishes at the banquet with silver needles, and it was confirmed that they were all safe, and the only poisonous thing was the plate of duck meat. ”

A burst of fire came up, Zhu Yunwen clenched his hands into fists, and the strength was so great that he actually broke the old jade wrench on his thumb. He was on the verge of rage, but a strange smile appeared on his face. He smiled and said, "Tie up all the people who are responsible for organizing the banquet and come to see the palace." ”

The middle-aged man was embarrassed to tell the truth: "Your Highness, in the process of inspecting the dishes, there was a maid hiding outside the kitchen and peeking sneakily, and was caught by the minister. After being tortured, I learned that she was Wang Meiren's maidservant, who was bought by silver and poisoned the dishes of the lord of Qingning County at the banquet. Xiao Chen was about to ask who her master was, but she gritted the poison sac behind her teeth and died! ”

When Zhu Yunwen heard Wang Meiren's name, he immediately lowered his head and fell into deep thought, and when he raised his head again, his anger disappeared completely.

This Wang Meiren is a woman given to him by the fourth uncle, and she has been in the East Palace for more than two years. Zhu Yunwen's lips hooked, and the heroic face of the fourth uncle Zhu Di appeared in front of him.

As for whether the fourth uncle's heart and appearance are consistent, Zhu Yunwen also spent many years researching it. His fourth uncle Zhu Di, who has always kept a low profile in the crown prince's succession, has always been neutral in the contest between his second uncle King Qin, his third uncle King Jin and his seventeenth uncle King Ning, and has always maintained imperial power, is also a person with imperial aspirations.

Zhu Yunwen dismissed his subordinates and came to the warm pavilion of the Fuxi Flower Hall alone, the residence of Chai Meiren. At this time, it was already the third watch, Chai Meiren changed her ivory silk crescent pattern bedclothes, and sat in front of a table of brightly colored side dishes, the candle shadow shook red, setting off her extraordinarily coquettish, smiling and timid.

Zhu Yunwen sat down opposite her, ate a chopsticks of green bamboo shoots, used half a bowl of millet porridge, gradually calmed down, and found a reasonable answer - the man surnamed Zhu has belligerent and ambitious blood in his body, and he is only one step away from the position that symbolizes supreme power, and anyone wants to bet on the chips to gamble.

"Your Highness, use more of this bowl of mushrooms and shrimps, the concubine has put a lot of effort into making this dish. You coughed twice in your sleep last night, and the doctor said that shiitake mushrooms are good for your body. Chai Yutu smiled and scooped him a cup of sparkling shrimp.

Zhu Yunwen silently ate every dish from the pair of jade hands, his thoughts drifted, but the face of another girl appeared uncontrollably in front of him.

The girl's appearance was far worse than that of his concubine, with a round apple face, cheeks flushed with the sun, her nose slightly upturned, her lips always pursed, and she complained about this and taught that. At that time, she didn't know his identity, thinking that he was just a sloppy scholar who sold paintings, and gave him two copper coins.

Zhu Yunwen seemed to have the sound of copper coins in his ears again, a pair of round apricot eyes looked at him with dripping eyes, and a string of freshly fried forks was golden and lovely, trembling and raised to his nose.

"Hey, Xiao Wenzi, I invite you to eat the forks, give, take it!"

"Let go of your belly and eat as much as you can, and there will be more after eating!"

"Why do you eat more than a woman? Just like my young lady, I can't finish four bites of a rice ball! ”

"Why do you keep holding your waist, is it a stomachache? Wait here, I'll buy you millet porridge, my young lady said, drinking millet porridge when you have a stomach ache is better than taking medicine! ”

"Xiao Wenzi, look at it! There's a bunch of officials over there, and they're all looking at you—whoa! I'm still holding a portrait in my hand, and I'm comparing your face! Hey, you, you're not supposed to be a Jiangyang thief, right? ”

"Xiao Wenzi, I'm here to say goodbye to you, I'm going back to Yangzhou to find Miss......"

“…… Your Highness! Your Highness? Are you okay? Chai Yutu strangely called out to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, whose eyes were dazed, and pushed a small bowl of flowers in front of him, "Can you use half a bowl of porridge again?" ”

Zhu Yunwen buried his head, stared at the bowl of porridge quietly, took a sip, and drank it slowly. His attentive expression unnerved Chai Yutu, as if something had escaped her control and weeds were growing in the corners she couldn't see. As soon as I remembered a topic and broke this strange silence, a quarrel suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Stop, talk about you! You're a subordinate in that courtyard, and if you know what this place is, you can break in! "It was Chai Yutu's personal maidservant Rose, who spoke.

The voice of an immature eunuch replied: "Hello aunt, the slave is the little Luzi of Dongyu Pavilion, and I was ordered by Zhang Meiren to invite His Royal Highness the eldest grandson to come over, and I am in a hurry." ”

Rose smiled arrogantly: "Zhang Meiren came to invite His Highness? I'm sorry, His Royal Highness and Chai Meiren have already rested and won't go anywhere. You go back and tell Zhang Meiren, and ask her to find His Highness again tomorrow to tell her 100,000 urgent things. ”

In this conversation, Chai Yutu and Zhu Yunwen in the room heard it clearly, and Chai Yutu frowned secretly. Because of her favor, the maids under her are also arrogant, which is not a good sign. The more critical the thriving moment, the more humility and respect should be shown. Rose's words fell on the ears of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, and I don't know what to think in my heart?

Chai Yutu quietly glanced at Zhu Yunwen's face, but the latter was still just distracted, as if he was recalling something.

The eunuch begged twice more and asked Rose to go in, but Rose resolutely refused, and the eunuch suddenly shouted in a shocking voice: "The doctor said that Zhang Meiren has a happy pulse!" Zhang Meiren asks to see His Royal Highness, do you dare to stop it? ”

Rose was stunned, and the firewood rain map in the house was also stunned, Zhu Yunwen withdrew from the youthful memories, dropped the spoon in his hand, and got up and went to Dongyu Pavilion. Chai Yutu didn't even have time to salute him, and watched his straight figure walk away. She stood against the door frame, one poisonous plan after another brewing in her heart.

Zhu Yunwen came to Dongyu Pavilion, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard Zhang Meiren's humming and chirping cry, he was displeased, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter, didn't you say that you were happy?" What are you crying about? ”

Zhang Meiren rarely saw Zhu Yunwen once, struggling to get up from the bed, her grandmother hurriedly supported her, and shouted in surprise: "The doctor just said that your fetal breath is weak and let you rest in bed, why do you have to hold on to it at this time?" His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is benevolent, how can he care about this amount of courtesy with you? ”

Zhu Yunwen grasped the key point of the words, frowned and asked, "The fetal breath is weak, what's the matter?" ”

Mama helped Zhang Meiren sit down, then turned around and kowtowed: "The doctor diagnosed that Zhang Meiren has been eating cold food for a long time, so that Gong Han is not suitable for pregnancy, and now it is easy to get pregnant, and it is difficult to keep it." Ask His Royal Highness to call the shots for Zhang Meiren, she was deliberately harmed like this! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhu Yunwen frowned.

Mama said: "Two months ago, Chai Meiren came to visit Zhang Meiren with a chilled watermelon white fungus cup, Zhang Meiren was greedy for a while and liked to eat, Chai Meiren asked the kitchen to make it every day, Zhang Meiren did not notice, and ate ice trays for two months. Chai Meiren's sinister intentions are simply revealed! ”

Zhang Meiren kept crying, Zhu Yunwen snorted lightly, she immediately stopped crying, and timidly observed Zhu Yunwen's reaction.

The doctor boiled the hot decoction and came in to give it to Zhang Meiren's grandmother. Zhu Yunwen's long eyes narrowed slowly, and he asked the doctor softly: "How is her fetal image, can she still keep it?" ”

The doctor bowed and replied: "Zhang Meiren has been pregnant for more than two months, but the fetal breath is very fragile. ”

Zhu Yunwen burst out of the cold air all over her body, raised her hand and knocked over the medicine bowl held by her grandmother, and poured the boiling medicinal juice on her hand, making her howl like a pig. Zhu Yunwen smiled and asked the doctor: "Then what are you doing with her decoction?" ”

The doctor trembled and shook his head and said, "The villain temporarily used decoction to suppress Zhang Meiren's palace cold because the villain heard that the first divine doctor Luo Maitong was a guest in the East Palace. As long as he is asked to treat Zhang Meiren with the Sanqing acupuncture method, the fetus can be safe. ”

"Really?"

"Don't dare to deceive Your Highness, the Sanqing acupuncture method has been passed down for a hundred years, and it is contained in medical books, it can remove the cold."

"Someone!"

Zhu Yunwen turned his back and summoned Peng Yan, the minister of the East Palace who was on duty tonight, and ordered: "You enter the palace immediately, recover my previous will, and then invite Luo Lao Divine Doctor back." ”

Peng gradually waved his hand anxiously and said, "No, Your Highness, we can't do anything now!" ”

Zhu Yunwen twisted his eyebrows and asked slowly, "What do you mean?" ”

Peng gradually presented a letter and told the most serious situation at present: "A letter from the palace said that after the emperor fell into a coma tonight, three thousand imperial guards suddenly broke into the palace ban, replaced the guards on duty, surrounded the Jide Palace, and put the emperor under house arrest!" Even my Taigong Luo Maitong was trapped inside and couldn't get out. Our people risked their lives to send this letter, and then the message was cut off, I'm afraid there will be more than luck! ”

"Three thousand Imperial Forest troops dispatched?" Zhu Yunwen took two steps back, shook his head again and again and sneered, "My good fourth uncle, the good son of the emperor's grandfather!" ”

"Nope! It wasn't King Yan who did it! ”

In the dark courtyard, another person walked in, it was Peng Yan's brother Peng Shi, he was dressed in a military uniform, and there was a little blood stain on the hem of his robe, all of which were other people's blood. He analyzed in a deep voice: "King Yan is not in the capital at all now, if it is the Imperial Forest Army in charge of him, he will definitely personally take command." ”

At this time, Zhang Meiren in the room was disturbed, touched the fetal gas, covered her lower abdomen, and wailed in pain on the bed.

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand annoyedly and said, "That's it, let's put the others aside." Peng Shi, the palace knows that you will also use the Sanqing acupuncture method, so go and give Zhang Meiren an acupuncture to save her fetus. ”

Peng Shi returned the sword to the sheath, buried his head and replied: "Your Highness forgive me, I am not a doctor, and my acupuncture skills are crude, which is really not enough to save people." However, I heard that the county lord of Qingning is also a guest in the East Palace now, why didn't His Royal Highness invite her to save Zhang Meiren? ”

"Cheongning County Lord ......"

"That's right," Peng Shi's dark eyes became brighter and brighter in the night sky, and the wind blew away his voice, he lowered his voice and said, "As long as the county lord is willing to help, not only Zhang Meiren's fetus, but also the dilemma of besieging the palace can be easily solved!" ”
