Chapter 18: Cool
"Your Highness, you have been sitting here for an hour, it is better to go back to the house and rest for a while."
Xiao Jingyi stopped, and the little waiter was silent and didn't say much.
At this banquet, the emperor deliberately embarrassed Gu Mingyuan, and pretended to hold a palace banquet, the purpose was just to take Gu Mingyuan's military power and weaken the power of the Gu family.
Xiao Jingyi picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, seemed to think of something, and said, "Go, bring the black box in the room." ”
The waiter nodded, ran into the room quickly, took out a small black carved wooden box from the cabinet inside, and then walked quickly to Xiao Jingyi's side and gently placed it in front of him.
Xiao Jingyi frowned, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and gently opened the box with his other hand, and there was a small amount of white powder inside, which had been scabbed and looked like it had been a few days.
This was found by Xiao Jingyi in the grass not far from the Queen Mother's bedroom that day, and in order to avoid suspicion, he secretly hid it.
Slowly closing the box, Xiao Jingyi turned around and asked, "What clues does Imperial Doctor Wen have?" ”
The waiter shook his head.
Imperial Physician Wen's medical skills are also among the best in this palace, and he reads medical books, even he doesn't know what kind of poison this is?
After the incident, he had sent someone to secretly inquire about the life experience of the palace maid, who was a newcomer who had just entered the palace, and had no family except herself.
Now, the palace maid is dead, and now this clue is completely broken.
The mother concubine can't die unjustly in vain, and the murderer behind it, he must catch it with his own hands.
Xiao Jingyi clenched his fists, the hatred in his eyes became more and more intense, the little attendant put away the black box, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, if you continue to investigate, you will definitely ask someone to find the clues, and when the time comes, Your Majesty will not make sense." ”
He naturally understood the harm of this matter, and after the death of his mother, the emperor personally ordered that those who knew about it were forbidden to talk about it, otherwise they would be killed.
If the emperor knew that he was secretly investigating the cause of his mother's death behind his back, it would naturally cause anger, but let him let it go so simply, he couldn't do it.
Now, above the court, the emperor and the king of Yuan are restrained by two, and there is no time for anything else, the matter of collaborating with the enemy and treason, which involves a lot, when the incident happened, the king of Yuan was just guarding the border pass, and naturally could not be involved.
Having said that, but the dignified god of war of a country may not know the reason, and now that he thinks about it, he may be able to ask some of the original questions, and it seems that if he wants to find out the truth, he still needs to use King Yuan.
It's just that Gu Mingyuan is indifferent to fame and fortune, and the court is turbid, but I don't know if he is willing to wade into this muddy water and cooperate with him.
"Your Highness, Taifu is here."
Xiao Jingyi came back to his senses and slowly got up,
Behind him, stood an old man over the age of six, with gray hair, a long beard, and a hint of majesty.
"Jing Yi has seen Taifu."
"Your Highness the Ninth is polite, Weichen came today to check His Highness the Nine's homework."
Xiao Jingyi bent slightly, with respect on his face, and made a gesture of invitation in his hand.
Taifu nodded with satisfaction, touched his beard and walked into the house.
"I heard that in recent days, the floods in the surrounding small countries have been rampant, and the people are not happy, I don't know what solution His Royal Highness Nine can have?"
Xiao Jingyi sat cross-legged, thought for a moment, and slowly groaned: "The surrounding small countries are low-lying, and when the river is dredged, it is necessary to guide according to the situation." ”
Taibo touched his beard, nodded with satisfaction, and said with great appreciation: "Your Highness is talented and intelligent, and he will become a great tool, and he will definitely do something in the future." ”
"It's too much."
Yuanwang's Mansion.
Gu Nuan lay on the soft couch, threw a grape into his mouth, Green Yi wrinkled his face, packed up the clothes in his hand, and whispered: "County Lord, we really plan to live in the palace." ”
Gu Nuan nodded very affirmatively, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and sighed deeply, as soon as he entered the palace, it was as deep as the sea, and the days ahead must be difficult, thinking that there was still a Xiao Yuling in the palace, Gu Nuan couldn't wait to retreat.
But for the sake of his father, even if it is Daoshan, she has to bite the bullet.
Tomorrow is the last day, Gu Nuan jumped up from the soft couch, and said with a very firm look in his eyes: "Green clothes, go shopping on the street tomorrow, we will buy whatever we like." ”
After tomorrow, if you want to get out of the palace, it will not be so easy.
When she thought about it, Gu Nuan only felt that her heart was blocked and she became more and more bored.
The Imperial Study.
"Nine Emperor Princes, how have you been doing your homework lately?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the civil and military affairs have never been left behind, but it is quite a bit of Your Majesty's demeanor back then."
Xiao Min put down the fold in his hand, and was very satisfied, the child hadn't seen it for a while.
"Too much trouble for Lao."
"Your Majesty's words are serious, this is the duty of a micro-minister."
After Taifu left, Su Weizhong made a cup of tea and carefully placed it in front of Xiao Min, Xiao Min took the tea, took a sip, and then frowned, and asked a little puzzled: "Why doesn't this tea taste like before?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been tired of correcting and playing in the past few days, and the old slave has changed this Biluochun to refresh your mind."
"It's really refreshing, Grandpa Su has a heart."
Su Weizhong lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, if you are thoughtful, why don't you go and take a look." ”
"That's it! Everything is certain. ”
Xiao Min was stunned, then shook his head, rubbed his eyebrows with both hands, and said with a sigh.
Night is slowly falling.
Xiao Jingyi lay on the bed, tossing and turning.
After a long time, he got up from the bed, slowly pushed open the door of the room, and made a "squeak" sound in the middle of the night.
In the courtyard, there was silence, and every now and then the wind blew, and the trees would recall the chirping of birds.
The cold moonlight sprinkled on the ground, flashing patches of cold light.
Xiao Jingyi only wore a white underwear, his figure was very thin, and in this dense night, he was extremely sober.
At the last banquet, I just glanced at King Yuan from such a distance, and on weekdays, I stayed in this deep harem, and it was difficult to move an inch everywhere.
If you want to get in touch with the Yuan King, you have to find the right time again.
The moonlight that the night gradually devours.
"Buy...... This one...... And that all-inclusive! ”
"County Lord, can you eat all of it?"
Green Yi wrinkled a small face, his hands were full of snacks of all sizes, Gu Nuan walked unhurriedly, holding a piece of pastry in one hand, looking particularly leisurely, Gu Nuan took a bite of osmanthus cake fiercely, smiled, and gave Green Yi a positive look.
Green Yi sighed, her mouth was choked, and she had to accept her fate, who let her have such a master?
Touching the purse that was gradually empty, Gu Nuan had only one word in his heart: cool!
Finally, her wish to buy and sell freely was realized, and she experienced the joy of shopping.
