Chapter XXXVII
Bai Yutang and Ruoxi followed Gongsun Ce into the flower hall one after another, Bao Zheng got up with a smile and said to Ruoxi: "Miss Xue is in a good mood?"
Ruoxi sighed and said: "Naturally, I'm still worried, Feifei has a deep affection for Zhanzhao, Zhanzhao was killed this time, I see that Feifei is much more haggard than before, I hope these turmoil can pass sooner." β
Bao Zheng nodded and said: "Since ancient times, evil has prevailed over good, and this government believes that the fox will eventually show its tail, as long as we make a good layout, we will definitely bring the evildoers to justice." β
Gongsun Ce said: "My lord, Bai Shaoxia and Ruoxi girl have the same opinion as you about the matter of Zhan Guard's injury and return this time, my lord, you may wish to tell everyone about your plan, so that we can prepare early." β
Bao Zheng let out an "oh" and said with a little surprise: "Do you two also think that something is wrong with the Zhan guards?"
Bai Yutang said: "I haven't known Zhan Zhao for a day or two, what kind of person he is, how can I not know? β
Ruoxi echoed on the side: "Yes, even Feifei has doubts about what Zhanzhao said, but he can't tell what's wrong for a while." β
Bao Zheng stroked his beard and said: "Yes, this mansion does have some doubts about the words of the Zhan guards, as for what is wrong....This mansion was thinking alone here just now, and suddenly remembered, the rouge that was robbed, this person is good at using witchcraft, will the Zhan guards also fall for this woman's witchcraft, so there will be those weirdness?"
Ruoxi frowned and said: "It's not difficult for Brother Zhan to be just poisoned, but if he falls into Gu magic and his mind is manipulated, it will be tricky, not to mention that his martial arts are already unguardable, and this mind should not be underestimated, Lord Bao, in your opinion, if Brother Zhan is manipulated, then what is their purpose?"
Bai Yutang said, "Could it be that Zhanzhao is coming for Lord Bao?"
When Bao Zheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "What did Bai Shaoxia say?"
Bai Yutang paused and said: "The person who rescued Rouge knew that the prison of Kaifeng Mansion was heavily guarded, and he did not hesitate to spend great effort to rob her, which shows that Rouge is very useful to this person, and soon after Rouge was robbed, Zhanzhao was sent back by King Xian, and his words and deeds are so strange, such a coincidental thing, I have to suspect that the person behind the robbery of Rouge is the Virtuous King, and the person who blinded Zhanzhao's mind is the Rouge, and their purpose should be to attack the adult." β
Bao Zheng's eyes showed appreciation, and he couldn't help nodding and said: "Bai Shaoxia has gone through this period of experience, and he has become more and more accurate in analyzing problems, and this mansion does think so, but the person they really want to deal with is not only this mansion." β
"Oh, who else?" Bai Yutang asked.
Gongsun Ce said, "My lord, is it the emperor?"
Bao Zheng said with a calm black face: "At the beginning, in order to protect this virtuous king from the joint crimes committed by his mother and concubine, the eighth prince did not hesitate to recognize him as a righteous son in front of the former emperor, and gave him the title of his virtuous king, in order to save his life. β
Gongsun Ce said: "Do you want to enter the palace to explain everything to the emperor and persuade the emperor and the queen mother to cancel this family banquet?"
Bao Zheng sighed: "This mansion still has no real evidence to prove that King Xian has the intention of rebellion, how can the emperor be gullible just by suspecting it? Moreover, the invitation card for the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet has been ordered to be sent to the mansions of all the adults, and it is probably inappropriate to take it back at this moment." β
Gongsun Ce hurriedly said: "Then what should I do, if this virtuous king really has bad intentions, with his ability, I am afraid that the ordinary guards are not opponents at all, and the guards are like this now....."
At this moment, a colorful bird suddenly flew in front of the stone table outside the flower hall, chirping, interrupting Gongsun Ce's words, everyone looked at this beautiful bird, Bao Zheng showed a dissatisfied look, and asked, "Is there anyone in the house who is raising birds recently?"
Gongsun Ce knew that Bao Zheng had never liked these playthings, so he hurriedly replied: "This bird must not be owned by Kaifeng Mansion, it may have been raised by people outside and accidentally flew in." β
As he was talking, the bird seemed to know that he was not popular, and barked at Bao Zheng a few times, flicked his head, and suddenly spread his wings and flew away.
Bai Yutang said with a smile: "This little beast is very spiritual, more refined than a human. β
Ruoxi stared at the direction where the bird flew and whispered: "I seem to have seen this bird somewhere, this bird is colorful and has a crisp and pleasant sound, it is by no means like a bird that ordinary people can afford, and the direction in which it flies ..... Bai Yutang, look, is it the direction of the Xianwang Mansion?"
Bai Yutang was reminded by Ruoxi, and also felt that this bird was indeed strange, so he hurriedly ran out of the flower hall, jumped up, and carried light skills, trying to chase the direction in which the bird flew away.
After Ruoxi waited for Bai Yutang to leave, he said to Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce: "Wait a while, wait a while, and I will find out the origin of this bird." So saying, he hurried to his room.
Bao Zheng looked at Ruoxi's distant back and said to Gongsun Ce: "What does Mr. Gongsun think about the origin of Ruoxi girl?"
Gongsun Ce thought for a while and said: "The world is so big, there are no wonders, and there will be many things that students don't know or can't imagine, but students think that whether it's fairies and spirits, or time and space transformation, as long as they don't harm people and have a kind heart, what does it matter if they are from this dynasty?"
Bao Zheng smiled and said: "Mr. Gongsun can see it clearly, although Miss Xue and Miss Ruoxi are of unknown origin and have bizarre identities, but this government has observed the two of them during this time, they are both people with pure hearts, and after this incident, if the two of them are willing to stay here, Mr. Lao Gongsun will do some naturalization certificates for them, so as not to add trouble to the government in the future." β
Mr. Gongsun smiled: "It's still thoughtful for adults, but students haven't thought of this.... If.... It's not a bad thing. β
Gongsun Ce deliberately didn't make it clear, and Bao Zheng didn't ask, the two looked at each other and smiled, each drinking tea in their cups and waiting for Ruoxi's reply.
After about a cup of tea, there was a sound of small footsteps outside the flower hall, and the two put down the teacups in their hands at the same time, and Mr. Gongsun smiled and said, "My lord, the answer is here." β
Ruoxi panted and ran into the flower hall, and said in a hurry without even saluting: "Lord Bao, this bird's name is Bird's Tongue, it is clever by nature, if it is trained by people to understand people's words, according to the book, in the past, when there was a war, Bird's Tongue was used to detect the enemy's situation, and then because of the wanton capture, this bird gradually became extinct, I don't want to appear here today, Lord Bao, will what we said just now be listened to by this little beast?"
"It's very likely that Ruoxi said," a white shadow passed by, and Bai Yutang had quietly fallen beside Ruoxi.
When Gongsun Ce saw Bai Yutang coming back, he asked, "Bai Shaoxia chased that bird?"
Bai Yutang said: "I chased after it, but this little beast was too cunning, and I was accidentally run away by it again, but I saw it fly into the Xianwang Mansion with my own eyes." β
Ruoxi hurriedly said: "Then this Eight Achievements of the Sparrow's Tongue was raised by King Xian, this is bad, what we said before let this little beast listen, what should we do?"
Bao Zheng waved his hand and said: "Ruoxi girl, don't be in a hurry, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes, according to what you just said, if you want to understand the tongue of the bird, wouldn't there be someone who is proficient in bird language?"
Ruoxi nodded and said, "Yes, there must be such a person, but that Xianwang has great powers, and it is not strange to have such a person around him." β
Gongsun Ce said, "My lord, who do you think of?"
Bao Zheng said: "Yue Qi once said that there was a person named Huang Que who had contact with him, and instructed him to contact Zhang Yao.
Gongsun Ce said: "If the yellow finch and the finch tongue are both from the Xian Wang's mansion, then isn't the Xian Wang the person behind the red porcelain case?
Bao Zheng said: "I heard that Zhang Guifei was angry with the emperor because of Zhang Yao's matter, and now she is meditating and thinking about it behind closed doors. β
Gongsun Ce hurriedly stopped: " Adults must not, once this Zhang Yao died under the adult's guillotine, and again, Zhang Guifei originally collected thousands of favors in one, because of the red porcelain case was implicated, although the emperor did not put her into the cold palace, but this meditation is regarded as an ominous place by the harem woman, what is the difference between the holy will of not being able to go out of the view for a lifetime and living in the cold palace, it can be seen that the emperor is very angry about this matter in his heart, and now the matter has finally calmed down, and the adult is going to mention it in front of the emperor again, not to mention that Zhang Guifei will not ignore the adult, even the emperor may not allow the adult's request, and the adult is likely to anger the emperor againγ β
Bao Zheng said helplessly: "However, if you don't see that concubine, how can you know the inside story of the red porcelain case, and how can you prove that the virtuous king is the person behind the scenes?"
Bai Yutang saw that Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce looked embarrassed, and couldn't help but smile and said: "What's so difficult about this, tonight I will explore the meditation meditation at night, this Jinluan Palace is difficult to enter, and it is not difficult for me to just meditate on the meditation, my lord may as well tell me what you want to ask, and I will ask the concubine Zhang to ensure that I can ask the inside story." β
Ruoxi said, "What if Concubine Zhang doesn't tell you?"
Bai Yutang snorted coldly and said, "I have a way to make him say it, you can rest assured." β
Bao Zheng thought about it, but there was no other way, he also knew that Bai Yutang's martial arts were not under Zhanzhao, and he didn't know how to steal the jade seal back then, if he went, there shouldn't be a big problem, so he nodded and agreed, but he still didn't forget to tell Bai Yutang that he must be polite and not strong.
Bai Yutang secretly laughed in his heart that Bao Zheng was pedantic, but he agreed to come down one by one on his face.
That night, Ruoxi took advantage of the time to send Bai Yutang out, quietly took a pill and stuffed it into Bai Yutang's hand, and said, "If that Zhang Guifei insists on not cooperating, wouldn't it be better if you gave her this thing to eat, ensure that she is obedient and obedient, and save you a lot of effort?"
Bai Yutang winked at Ruoxi with a smile and said, "You still have a way, you wait for me, I'll go back quickly." β
Ruoxi smiled and watched Bai Yutang's figure disappear into the night.
