Chapter 90: Self-defeating
Da Changqiu recognized these two people as the little prince Liu Zheng and Wang Jieyu.
His mind suddenly went blank, his heart pounded, he closed his eyes to calm himself a little, and when he opened them again, there was already a large group of people standing in front of him. He hurriedly bowed and bowed: "May His Royal Highness the Crown Prince live a long time and be happy for a long time; May Her Royal Highness Jieyu live forever and live forever. โ
When the pothos heard that the prince was coming, she couldn't help but feel terrified, and when she stepped off the swing, her legs were weak and she almost fell. She is also clever, so she knelt down and kowtowed: "The servant greets His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Jieyu, long live the autumn." โ
In the palace, when the palace maid meets the lord, she usually bends her knees slightly and makes a regular salute. The little prince was quite surprised to see this palace maid perform this big gift. He was kind-hearted, thinking that he had bumped into this palace maid playing on a swing, and the palace maid was afraid, so he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, so he said with a pleasant face: "Get up." โ
Pothos knelt on the ground and just trembled, not daring to stand up. The maids in the palace are not allowed to play in the back garden without permission. Green pothos was standing on the swing just now, and it seemed to others that she was playing, so it was reasonable for her to be panicked and scared
Wang Jieyu was originally introverted and unsmiling, but at this time she frowned slightly and looked indifferent.
The little prince looked up at Wang Jieyu and said innocently: "You won't blame her, right?" Without waiting for Wang Jieyu to reply, she turned her face again and said, "Get up, I still want to see you swing." โ
Hearing this, the pothos became more and more flustered, and she didn't dare to raise her head tremblingly.
Wang Jieyu was impatient: "The prince asked you to get up, you can get up." โ
The pothos had to get up and stand with her hands down.
Seeing this, Da Changqiu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this palace maid doesn't understand the rules and has disturbed His Highness. and she shall be chastised below. He quietly pulled and motioned for her to leave.
The little prince was not happy, and said to Da Changqiu: "She is just swinging, why should you punish her." Come here, I'm going to watch her swing. The little prince originally wanted to cover up her mistakes, but unexpectedly, these two people were not good people, but they failed the little prince's kindness.
The pothos had just cut a hole in the swinging rope, so she refused to swing in every possible way.
The little prince saw it in his eyes, but he looked pitiful. He thought that the pothos was afraid of Da Changqiu, so he was bent on defending her and insisted on letting her go on the swing. He wanted to show everyone that this palace maid was not playful, but at the behest of the little prince, and Da Changqiu would not condemn her.
Of course, the pothos didn't dare to go to the swing, and stood there with a sad face.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent, but I still have to bring this palace maid back." Da Changqiu was also flustered, and he couldn't help but be anxious when he spoke.
The little prince was annoyed: "I'm going to watch her swing." โ
Da Changqiu also wanted to find an excuse to take the pothos away, but suddenly found that Wang Jieyu was staring at him, with doubts in her eyes. Da Changqiu's heart sank, afraid that she would be suspicious, so he had to say to Luluo: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered you to swing, you can go over." The pothos was helpless, carefully stood on the swing pedal, and slowly swung up, not daring to swing high.
The little prince goes to the back garden to play on weekdays, and the little yellow door and the little palace maid in the palace are either serving or avoiding, and he has never seen others swinging. The pothos swings on the swing, the clothes are fluttering, like a frightened wild goose, a pretty face dyed with a sunset, and like a new lotus blooming in the blue waves. The little prince was stunned for a moment.
The pothos swung a few times, and was about to come down. Liu Zheng looked happy, thinking that she was tired from swinging by herself, so she couldn't exert her strength, and shouted: "Don't come down." Called the little yellow door next to him and said, "You go over and push, the higher you push, the better,"
Xiao Huangmen wanted to please the prince, so he stepped forward and pushed it up without saying anything. The green pothos knew that it was not good, and she didn't dare to say it, so she shouted repeatedly: "Let me down, let me down." โ
The little prince is always a child, and he can't help but be stubborn, thinking that she is just scared and looking funny, so he instigates the little yellow door to push hard. I saw that the swing was swinging higher and higher, and the green pothos was holding the swinging rope tightly with both hands, closing her eyes in fright, and screaming "wow".
At this time, only a "boom" was heard, the swing rope was broken, and the pothos body twisted, flying out in a strange posture, followed by a shocking scream.
Everyone was stunned, Liu Zheng threw herself into Wang Jieyu's arms in fright, Wang Jieyu's face was pale, she hugged Liu Zheng tightly in her arms, and covered his eyes with her hands, and her voice trembled: "Go back to the palace, go back to the palace." Don't scare the prince. โ
Da Changqiu was stunned, stood in a daze for a long time before he came to his senses, shouted, and quickly ran towards the place where the pothos fell.
I saw the pothos lying in a bush, with her right leg knocking on a mountain rock, her flesh and blood were blurred, and she was unconscious.
ยท
In a dimly lit hut in the backyard of Huo's mansion, Feng Zidu, Deng Guanghan, Fan Mingyou, and Da Changqiu sat together.
"That's how it is." Deng Guanghan said dejectedly:
Feng Zidu's face was gloomy, his eyes were fixed on the ground and he didn't say a word.
Fan Mingyou waited for Feng Zidu to speak, waited for a while, didn't see him speak, and couldn't help but ask Da Changqiu: "How is the pothos?" โ
"Pothos broke her leg. The imperial doctor in the palace has seen it, and he will be lame in the future. She couldn't stay in the palace anymore. Da Changqiu shook his head slightly and sighed: "Fortunately, my life was saved." โ
Seeing that Feng Zidu was still silent, he thought for a while, and then said: "The other people around the queen are not as completely trustworthy as Luluo, and I'm afraid I can't do anything alone." Moreover, Wang Jieyu seems to be a little vigilant, and she guards Liu Zheng very tightly. Therefore, we must not act rashly in the palace, this matter can only be put aside for the time being. After saying this, he seemed to be relieved and smiled at Deng Guanghan.
Feng Zidu finally raised his head with a confused expression: "God won't help me, what's the matter." He closed his eyes slightly.
Seeing this, Deng Guanghan was speechless for a while, and looked at Fan Mingyou with a sad face, Fan Mingyou was also at a loss, and looked at Da Changqiu.
Da Changqiu looked at the two of them, and then at Feng Zidu, hesitated for a while, and said reluctantly: "I'll think about it again, what is the way to poison him." Suddenly, he screamed "ahh
Fan Mingyou was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?" โ
Da Changqiu smiled smugly: "I thought of a way. He seemed to be selling off, and he didn't say anything.
Deng Guanghan was a little annoyed, and said: "What do you have to say quickly, where did you learn to speak half a sentence." โ
Da Changqiu was a little embarrassed by him, and stumbled: "That's it, that's it." There is a dumb spring in the Xi'er River in Yunnan, Yizhou, and people who drink the water of the dumb spring will become dumb and unable to speak. โ
Deng Guanghan said: "So what? โ
"I have this dumb spring." Da Changqiu said mysteriously.
Feng Zidu was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly became interested, moved his body, looked directly at Da Changqiu with his eyes, and waited eagerly for him to continue.
Da Changqiu was a little embarrassed by his staring, turned his face away from his gaze, and said, "The entrance of this dumb spring is sweet, and there is no doubt that it is the same as ordinary spring water. The little prince likes to go to the back garden to play, and the palace maid will bring a copper flat pot containing water, and when he is tired and thirsty from playing, he will pour water for him to drink. This copper flat pot is made by the craftsmen of the Shangfang Department in the palace, and the style is the same, and we also have it in the Jiaofang Palace. I thought of a way to replace the copper flat pot in the imperial palace, and the little prince drank the dumb spring, and he became dumb. After that, I couldn't help but grin when I thought about the scene at that time.
"Okay, let him live better than die." Feng Zidu said viciously, and his pale face became hideous.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became relaxed.
"How do you have dumb spring water?" Deng Guanghan asked curiously
Da Changqiu said: "I heard that there is a dumb spring in the Xi'er River in Yunnan, Yizhou, and I can't speak when I drink it, so I am very curious. That year, Shanglinyuan sent someone to Yunnan to purchase rare birds and beasts, and the leader happened to be my clansman, so I asked him to bring a jar back. But I didn't dare to move it all the time. โ
Deng Guanghan said: "You are also bold, if you don't pay attention and drink by mistake, you will not become dumb." โ
Da Changqiu said: "This dumb spring can detoxify. After drinking the dumb spring, he immediately drank the water of the Anle Spring, and then spit out the poisonous water, and he was able to speak again. I also have a jar of Anle spring water. โ
Deng Guanghan said: "Then you have to keep it carefully." โ
Feng Zidu listened to the two of them, his expression slowly became serious, and when Da Changqiu saw this, he stopped talking. Feng Zidu thought for a while, only to realize that everyone was looking at him, pouted, and said, "Da Changqiu's plan is very good. However, after the deed is done, you must dispose of the dumb spring water and the happy spring water, and do not leave a trace. โ
Da Changqiu nodded solemnly and agreed.
