Chapter 46: Plotting for each other's Tianshan Snow Lotus
The midday wind swept through the deep valley of the forest ravine, out of the dense woodland, mixed with the fragrance of nature, blowing into the small window.
The clothes are dressed, the green silk moves slightly, and Xie Yunhuai lowers his eyes: "Your Highness, the grass people have some appreciation and admiration for the county lord of Zhaoning, but there is no love between men and women. ”
The glossy sunspots flipped regularly on the fingertips again, and Xiao Huayong's tone added a hint of laziness: "I hope so." ”
Xie Yunhuai's slightly drooping face showed a faint smile: "Your Highness, the county lord of Zhaoning will not belong to anyone. ”
Xiao Huayong's eyes were dark and a little cool.
As if unaware, Xie Yunhuai slowly raised his head, not afraid to look at him, and the smile lines on his lips deepened.
The four eyes are facing each other, one is dull and cold, and the other is dull and waveless.
"Duke Xie already knows that you are here." Xiao Huayong said lightly.
Xie Yunhuai was slightly emotional, and clasped his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness, for informing me." ”
Xiao Huayong bowed lightly, and steadily left Xie Yunhuai's fenced courtyard.
Early the next morning, Shen Xihe heard that His Royal Highness the Prince's illness had worsened again last night, and Xiao Changyu, the Sixth Highness who had been punished to kneel for a day, had only thought about it at home for a day, and was called to the palace by Emperor Youning and punished him to kneel at the door of the East Palace.
"Why is it suddenly intensifying?" Shen Xihe frowned.
"The servant doesn't know." Jasper shook her head.
The Sixth Bureau and Twenty-Four Divisions did have their people, but none of them entered the East Palace.
"Keep an eye on the news." Shen Xihe commanded.
She never suspected that Xiao Huayong was pretending to be sick, after all, he was not suitable for recuperation in the palace because he was seriously ill, and he left the palace at the age of eight.
Although Emperor Youning still sent the Great Confucian to teach him, where is it better to be exposed to it in the palace?
The prince next to him can listen to politics at the age of fourteen, and he is about to be crowned, but he has not yet listened to politics, and he has not been in contact with any affairs in the court.
Because of this strange disease that could not be cured, he missed too much.
But this time, Xiao Changyu was so angry that he vomited blood, and Shen Xihe was somewhat suspicious that Xiao Huayong was using his weakness to do his tricks.
Now that Xiao Changyu has also been punished, the hint that should be given to her has also hinted that Xiao Huayong's purpose should be achieved, and there is no need to pretend to be sick again, so this is really aggravated?
At noon, it was spread inside and outside the palace that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very ill, and the Imperial Physician's Department was helpless from the Imperial Doctor's order to the Imperial Doctor's Order.
When he was about to be ordered to open the operation, a young doctor was trembling and put forward an idea of his own, which was finally unanimously approved by the entire Imperial Medical Department, but he lacked a medicine.
"What medicine?"
"Tianshan Snow Lotus." After Jasper finished speaking, she added, "Excellent." ”
"What is a gem?" Shen Xihe knew that Tianshan Snow Lotus also had advantages and disadvantages, but he didn't know how to evaluate it.
"It is said that it will be nearly two feet long."
Shen Xihe was slightly stunned, she had seen a lot of Tianshan Snow Lotus, all of which were one foot long, at most one foot and three or four inches: "I'm afraid it's rare." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty has posted the emperor list for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and whoever finds the superb Tianshan Snow Lotus will receive a reward of 1,000." Biyu said softly, "I also sent His Royal Highness Six out of the palace to find Snow Lotus in person." ”
Hearing this, Shen Xihe smiled faintly.
Emperor Youning's love for Xiao Huayong is always like this, but he doesn't really think about Xiao Huayong's position.
Whether it is overhauling the East Palace, or letting the princes avoid it, or posting the imperial list in front of you, what else is there in the East Palace except for a piece of vanity?
If it weren't for Xiao Huayong's frail and sickly body, and he couldn't have more than two rounds of language, the world would have been tolerant of the weak, so there would have been no complaints, otherwise Xiao Huayong's reputation might not have been as bad as it was.
Xiao Huayong must also know this.
The more this is the case, the more optimistic Shen Xihe is about Xiao Huayong.
Xiao Huayong not only separated from Emperor Youning, but also did not get close to the princes, so when they were their masters in the future, they would not be indecisive and get in the way for the so-called brotherhood.
It's just that Xiao Huayong's body seems to be too weak, she is not afraid of difficulties, and she is not afraid of orphans and widows fighting to the end with Xiao's sons, but she is worried about whether he can survive until he has an heir with her.
If she has no children, what will she do to compete with the others?
"Biyu, you let the people in the palace wait for the opportunity, it's best to get a copy of the prince's pulse." Shen Xihe needed to know about Xiao Huayong's condition, "You asked someone to send a letter to Luoyang Huafu, I want to talk to Hua Taoyi about a deal." ”
"County Lord, this person is very strange, we haven't found out his identity yet......" Biyu disagreed.
Biyu didn't know that the original embroidery envoy, Hua Fuhai, Cui Jinbai and Guo Daoyi were the same person, but it was only because Shen Xihe investigated Hua Fuhai that she felt that Hua Fuhai didn't know the roots, and she didn't want Shen Xihe to take risks.
"He can find out the location of such a rare thing as the Immortal Silk, and he will definitely be able to find out the whereabouts of the superb Tianshan Snow Lotus." Shen Xihe said, "Since you have intentions, you must show sincerity, that is, only interests, but also give to each other, in order to last." ”
Since the object of her plot is Xiao Huayong now, being able to be anxious about what he is anxious about can be regarded as an attitude of hers.
She will not only admit her feelings, she will not give at all, Shen Xihe never owes anyone.
"County Lord......"
"The county lord of Dali Temple, Cui Shaoqing, has come to the door again." Red jade report outside the house.
"Dare to come to the door?" Shen Xihe raised his eyebrows.
When she saw Cui Jinbai again, she understood why he dared to come to the door, because he was Cui Jinbai.
Shen Xihe deliberately stayed closer to him, only smelling the refreshing fragrance of cold plums, without the smell of Duojialuo.
His movements and demeanor are actually very similar to Cui Jinbai, who came to look for her at the post station last time, for strangers, he really noticed the difference, if it weren't for Shen Xi and knew that the two were not the same person, they would have been deceived in the past.
I have to praise the disguised skill.
"Cui Shaoqing, I was rude last time." Shen Xihe deliberately probed.
Cui Jinbai knew that Shen Xihe was referring to the last time he found out the identity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who pretended to be him, and used a poisonous needle on the prince: "The county lord is serious, and the officials are here to ...... a murder case."
In Cui Jinbai's narration, I learned that a person died outside the Recommended Blessing Temple yesterday, this person was a dart master from the southern bodyguard, and early this morning they had already checked all the people who might have seen this dart master yesterday, and finally came to find Shen Xihe.
"It's not ......" Ziyu was surprised to see the portrait, it was the person who bumped into them yesterday.
"The county lord has seen the dead?" Cui Jinbai glanced at Ziyu.
Shen Xihe bowed his head to Biyu, and Biyu told the cause and effect of the incident: "Cui Shaoqing should ask the people of the Pingyao Marquis Mansion, he hurriedly ran over from the place where the old lady fell into the water, and then someone found that the old lady fell into the water. ”
Cui Jinbai asked carefully again and made sure that there was nothing missing, before leaving.
