The verdant mountain paths, the turquoise poolside, the forest pines and cypresses firmly cover the courtyard, the doors and windows are wide open, and the warm spring breeze passes. In such a beautiful Taimiao courtyard, Zhou Li and Wang Jihu lived quite uneasily.

The day before yesterday, the servant Jia hurriedly rushed to the Orion Residence outside the royal city, and told him about the situation in Xuanning Palace, coupled with E Yao's condition, and hurried back to the royal city. I thought that the king of Earth Horses would go straight to the palace, but I didn't think that I would pull myself to the temple. Although he thought about it, he could also understand the painstaking handling of the young father, but on the one hand, he was worried about his younger siblings and young self in the royal city, and on the other hand, it was really difficult to stay here alone.

There are a lot of palace maids and chamberlains waiting around, but none of them can speak. All day long, there is only the Taimiao Ling with a white head, not to mention how uncomfortable it is to be lifeless. Sometimes, he couldn't help but complain about Wei He, this guy returned to Chaoge on his mother's orders as early as the end of the ploughing ceremony. If he had been here, he wouldn't have been so hard.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the Taimiao Ling sitting opposite, this old man was too old to see his eyebrows clearly, he was holding a clay cup that had already become cold in his hand and was napping, and saliva was still flowing from the crooked corners of his mouth.

"Alas—" Ji Hu shook his head, and resolutely got up and walked out of the side hall of the Taimiao. Even standing outside for an hour under the sun is much better than facing an old man who is dying all day long.

As soon as he paced down a few stone steps, a long and shrill voice suddenly appeared: "Summoning the prince of the country to meet my king!" ”

Ji Hu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Please see you quickly!" ”

"Brother Wang-" With a childish child's voice, the third prince Ji Cifei threw himself into Ji Hu's arms. The eldest brother is like a father, and since this poor prince can remember, the only relative around him is the royal brother in front of him, and the brotherhood is unusually comparable.

"Ci'er-" Ji Hu hadn't seen his brother for a long time, so he picked him up and turned around. Ji Ci kept asking, "Where did Brother Wang go hunting?" After walking for so long, will you take me with you next time? Always stay in the palace and suffocate to death! ”

"What are you messing around? You are still young, and when you grow taller than the wheels and your arms can draw a bow, Brother Wang will definitely take you there. ”

"Brother Wang can't deceive people, pull Gougou."

"Okay!"

In the midst of the frolic, Ji Hu caught a glimpse of Zhao Bohu standing with a smile on the side, and hurriedly put down Ji Ci and asked the little chamberlain to take him to eat. Only then did he step forward and arch his hand slightly: "I've seen the young father!" ”

Zhao Bohu was still polite, Ji Hu saw that there was nothing behind him, and he didn't feel a tightness in his heart: "What? Did the young father only bring his third brother? What about Sister Shaoji and Boji Zhongji? ”

"The king, this is the Taimiao, according to the ritual system, it is the queen of the Great Zhou, and only on the day of the big sacrifice and canonization can accompany the sacrifice, and the rest of the concubines and concubines are not allowed to enter. What's more, Princess Wang Ji? The king is not married, and he can't enter the house. Zhao Bohu replied word by word.

This rule Ji Hu is not unclear, but he never thought that Zhao Guogong would be so rigid, and he was angry for a while: "Young father, you are in a hurry." According to what the chamberlain Jia said, the epidemic in Xuanning Palace is menacing, and it is very dangerous for them to stay there. Can't you make an exception? ”

"This ------" Zhao Bohu showed embarrassment: "The minister also wanted to take them out of the palace to live in Fengyi Palace temporarily, but Princess Boji categorically refused, she said that although she was in the palace, she had always lived in isolation, and there was no major incident." It is inconvenient for the unmarried girl to leave the palace, and the minister can only go with her. ”

Ji Hu couldn't hide his loss, since Yiji's death, the originally harmonious brother and sister have long been strangers. Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to mend the relationship between his brother and sister, but he thought that he was being amorous. He asked instead, "What about Sister Shaoji?" Won't she leave the palace either? ”.net

Zhao Bohu shook his head: "The woman surnamed me is weak on the outside, but firm on the inside. She insisted that she had married into the Zhou family and served the king, so she could not stay away from the king. Since the king lives in the Taimiao, she can't leave Hojing. As for Zhong Ji, she has been taken care of by Shaoji since she was a child, and she refuses to leave. The king and relaxed, the minister has instructed the inner servants Jia and Ziliang to strictly seal the Xuanning Palace, and the people of one color are not allowed to have contact with other palace people. ”

"Sister Shaoji------, why should she do this?" Ji Hu muttered, and at the end, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is this epidemic really related to the Lynx?" ”

"The innkeeper where the three masters lived had already gone to check, and the three of them checked out and left the day after they tried to find out in Xuanning Palace, and they were missing. But the identity photos they carried were left in the guest room, and the ministers carefully checked them, and the three photos were all forged, they did not come from the land of Jinghan at all, and their identities were very suspicious. ”

Ji Hu frowned when he heard this: "So? Are they really the Raccoons? So, was she ------- deceived by these three people, or did she do it on purpose? ”

"This ------" Zhao Bohu hesitated: "The minister doesn't know." If it is deceived, it is better to say, if it is intentional, its plan is unpredictable! In fact, Zhao Bohu said this with reservations, he had a faint premonition in his heart, if the Lynx and Ejiao really colluded to conspire, he was afraid that the target was Zhou Tianzi himself. But he couldn't say this, and he was suspected of provoking the flesh and blood of the heavenly family, so he had to swallow it raw.

"Humph!" Ji Hu is so smart, how can he not hear it, he flicked his sleeves angrily: "This woman's heart is like a snake and scorpion, all she thinks about is her own mother's family, how can she have the slightest bit of the mind and bearing of the mother of the world?" By the way, what is the situation in Xuanning Palace? ”

"This ------" Zhao Bohu paused for a moment and replied: "Xuanning Palace has been blocked, and all palace people are not allowed to go out of the second gate, so the situation is not yet known." "In fact, nine palace people have died one after another in the past few days, but Zhao Bohu was afraid that King Zhou would not feel at ease living in the Taimiao after knowing about it, so he finally concealed this section after thinking about it.

"What about her?" Ji Hu is referring to her is naturally Eyao, how can Zhao Bohu not know? He said without thinking: "The imperial doctor has been sent to guard the Xuanning Palace, diagnose the pulse the next day, and send out the prescription outside. According to the conclusion of the Imperial Doctor's Department, they are all medicines to disperse wind and dispel stasis, and I think the condition has worsened. ”

When Ji Hu heard this, he only felt a chill in his back: "She hates my mother and son so much?" Do not hesitate to fight with your life? She was so lonely that she was young and stupid, but now she is colluding with a foreigner to assassinate Lonely? His heart can be punished! ”

Zhao Bohu didn't dare to raise his head and look directly at the chill in the eyes of the young man.

In the dormitory of Xuanning Palace, in front of the heavy curtains, the uncle reported to the brocade curtain in a low voice: "Yu Niangniang, the eyeliner of the slave maid in the outer palace passed the news from the dog cave, saying that the king has returned to Hojing. I just thought that I lived in the Taimiao Courtyard in the name of Niangniang's blessing, and I took the third prince away, so I must have been aware of Niangniang's plan. There is no turning back from the bow, mother, what should we do? ”

There was a low groan from inside the curtain, followed by a weak and cold voice: "I didn't want to affect the innocent, but even so, I can't take care of much." You come here------"
