325. The Mystery of the Poisonous Beauty
Early the next morning, after Du did not forget to get up, he packed the poisonous beauty with the white lotus, and hired someone to send it to Doctor Li's house quickly, hoping that Doctor Li would help find out what this poisonous beauty was.
The two of them had hardly waited for Zhu Sanmei and the poisonous girl to come out in Beijing for a month, nor did they wait for Doctor Li's reply.
On this day, the two of them were drinking anxiously in the restaurant outside the palace gate, and even had some impulsiveness to enter the palace again, but suddenly saw a large sedan chair carried by 38 people coming out of the palace gate.
Du did not forget to quickly find someone to inquire and found out that it was Princess Zhu Sanmei of Yong'an sitting on this sedan chair, and this time Princess Yong'an went to worship the Temple of Heaven on behalf of the emperor and the queen mother.
Du Bu Bu pulled the white lotus and followed all the way to the Temple of Heaven, at this time Zhu Sanmei seemed to have discovered Du Bu Bu and the two of them, so she signaled the guards around her to allow the two of them to enter the Temple of Heaven with her to worship.
After the sacrifice, Zhu Sanmei withdrew everyone around her and chatted with the two alone in a corner of the Temple of Heaven.
At this time, Du did not forget to ask anxiously:
"Third sister, why haven't you heard from you for a month?"
Zhu Sanmei sighed and said:
"I also had no choice but to be by the Queen Mother's side this month!"
Du did not forget to ask again:
"Then what happened to me asking you?"
Zhu Sanmei said:
"I heard that the body of the concubine has been ordered by the emperor to be buried under the Tianshou Mountain of the Imperial Mausoleum!"
Du did not forget and said:
"I see!"
Zhu Sanmei continued:
"I actually knew the news about Miss Qing'er, but I don't know how to tell you!"
On the side, Bai Lianhua said:
"Princess, you just say it, don't worry about anything!"
Zhu Sanmei then said:
"Miss Qing'er has now been favored by my imperial brother, the two of them stick together all day long, I heard that my imperial brother has been coughing a lot better recently, and it is also the credit of Miss Qing'er!"
Du Buyi and White Lotus were stunned when they heard the news at this time.
At this time, I only heard the guards outside say loudly to Princess Yong'an in the palace:
"Princess, it's time to go back to the palace, otherwise the Queen Mother will have to blame us again!"
Zhu Sanmei said to the two:
"I have to go back to the palace, you can go out with me. ”
After Du Bu and the White Lotus came out of the Temple of Heaven, they rented two fast horses outside the city and rushed to the foot of Wanshou Mountain, where the imperial tomb was located.
Because the White Lotus is also a royal family, it is natural to enter Tianshou Mountain to worship the ancestors, and there is no one to stop them.
After a while, the two arrived at a new grave several meters high, only to see a tablet erected in front of the grave, which said the tomb of the concubine of the Ming Dynasty.
Du Buyi knelt on the ground and worshiped at Mingxi's tombstone, and he didn't want to get up for a long time.
It wasn't until it was almost dark that the soldiers patrolling the tomb passed by and came to ask the two of them, and Du Buyi had to go out of the imperial tomb with the white lotus.
Due to the late day, even if you return to the capital, the gate is closed and you can't enter the city, so Du and White Lotus found a nearby farmhouse to spend the night.
After the two of them stayed, they learned that this farmhouse was actually a mausoleum household nearby.
After a period of chatting, I learned that there were a total of three people in this mausoleum household, and the male claimed to be the twenty-third generation descendant of Li Congshan, the seventh son of Li Jing of Zhongzong of the Southern Tang Dynasty (that is, the younger brother of Li Houzhu), and then took Du Yifu to see his genealogy and the portrait of the ancestor Li Jing of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Du Buyi naturally couldn't help but think of his apprentices Xu Yingnan and Xu Yingqin at this time, aren't they the same ancestors as him, and the treasure map and treasure key in his hand should also be their Xu family and Li family.
This time I came to Beijing and almost forgot to see the two apprentices, thinking of this, after Du Buyi returned to the room at night, Du Buyi said to the White Lotus At this time, he also took out the treasure map and the treasure key to show the White Lotus.
Seeing this, the White Lotus asked in surprise:
"If you have such a treasure, why don't you open it yourself?
Du did not forget and said:
"You also know that money is nothing but a thing for me, and it's useless for me to come, I keep it so that I can return it to my two apprentices in the future, after all, this belongs to the descendants of their Li family and Xu family!"
The White Lotus immediately said again:
"But your two apprentices have already given it to you as a master, let your master make a decision, and the key is also obtained by yourself!"
Du did not forget to say:
"They are still young, of course they don't understand the importance of treasures, but I still have to go and bring Yingnan and Yingqin here tomorrow to get together with them, just this is the opportunity to discuss how to deal with this treasure map and treasure key, after all, it is a piece of my heart after all!"
The White Lotus said:
"Anyway, if you go tomorrow, you have to take me!"
Du did not forget to reply:
"Well, how could I leave you behind!"
Then I went to the bed and got the quilt, and made the floor directly in the room, after all, the two of them have been like this recently, and they have long been used to it.
The next day, after the two came to the capital, they found Maitreya to teach the Beijing master to divide the rudder and inquire, only to know that Yingshu and Yingqin were known by Zhang Fujing because they were his apprentices, and Zhang Fujing also liked the two of them very much, so he took them to his house.
Du Buyi and White Lotus visited Zhang's mansion, and after seeing Zhang Fujing, they found that Zhang Fujing was already gray-haired at this time, and even his face was very embarrassed.
After Zhang Fu invited the two of them into the guest hall, Du Buyi asked Zhang Xuan first:
"Brother Zhang, why do you think you have been so haggard recently?"
Zhang Fujing sighed and said:
"I'm old for my brother, and I'm busy every day, where can my body still stand it, you don't understand Your Majesty's capricious nature, although I, Zhang Fujing, am the first assistant, but on his side I am also walking on thin ice!"
The White Lotus then said:
"Since ancient times, it has been said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, could it be that Lord Zhang, do you also have the heart to retreat?"
Zhang Fujing smiled and said:
"White girl, you haven't experienced officialdom, you must not understand the difficulties of being an official, I, Zhang Fujing, have followed Your Majesty for almost half my life, and I have long wanted to go home for a few days of leisure, but Your Majesty will not allow me to go back at all!"
Du Buyi also smiled and said:
"Your Majesty doesn't trust Brother Zhang to do this, you see that after Your Majesty ascended the throne, who has been appointed as the head of the cabinet three times like you!"
Zhang Fujing said:
"Aren't Fei Hong and Yang Yiqing both two first assistants?"
Du did not forget to say:
"How can they compare with you, Brother Zhang? Isn't it true that Brother Zhang can't stand Fei Hong's anger as rumored in the streets?"
Zhang Fujing replied:
"No, no, my body is really not good!"
Then he changed the subject and said:
"Brother Du Xian, there must be something wrong with you coming to me this time, right?"
Du did not forget to say:
"In addition to coming to see Brother Zhang this time, I did have something to find Brother Zhang!"
张福敬 says:
"I've guessed it, don't you think so?"
At this time, a young man and a girl walked outside, weren't they the brothers and sisters of Du Yi's apprentices, Yingnan and Yingqin?
Du didn't forget to glance at Zhang Fujing and said:
"Brother Zhang still understands me!"
Then he hurriedly introduced the White Lotus in front of the two apprentices, and the two of them happily took the White Lotus out to play.
At this time, Du Yiyi said to Zhang Xuan again:
"Brother Zhang, has there been any major incident in the palace recently?"
Zhang Fujing sighed and said:
"It's not a big deal lately, but I heard that the emperor is sick and pampers a palace maid named Qing'er every day, and I heard that he plans to make this palace maid a concubine!"
Du did not forget to ask:
"Is Your Majesty's illness really better?"
Zhang Fujing said:
"The cough on the surface is better, but it can be clearly seen that Your Majesty is now a little yellow and thin, and it seems that he is indulging in women's sex, and there are officials in the court and China who have begun to persuade His Majesty to stay away from women!"
Du did not forget to ask:
"Brother Zhang, have you ever heard of a poisonous beauty?"
Zhang Fujing immediately said:
"Poisonous beauty, of course I've heard of it, this flower is spread from the domain, but we have slowly planted it in the Central Plains, but then I found out that this flower is an ominous thing to Emperor Taizu, so I have already ordered me not to plant this thing in the Ming Dynasty, Brother Du Xian, why do you ask about this flower?"
Du did not forget to tell Zhang Fujing what he knew about the national teacher Shao Yuanjie secretly transporting this flower into the palace last month.
After hearing this, Zhang Fujing was shocked and said:
"Brother Du Xian, do you suspect that the emperor also took this flower to become like this?"
Du Cheng Cheng said:
"Yes, so I have already quietly stolen a poisonous beauty and sent it to a friend of mine, I believe he should reply to me in the next few days!"
Zhang Fujing stood up directly at this time and said:
"Brother Du Xian, as soon as you say it, I remembered, a few days ago, I was in His Majesty's imperial study, when His Majesty asked someone to send two pills, saying that they could cure all diseases, and asked me if I wanted to eat one, I saw that the color of this pill was completely different from the color of the pill that His Majesty took before, but pure white, and there was no smell, could it be that the pill was refined by the poisonous beauty?"
Du did not forget to reply:
"I'm not sure yet, but when my friend responds, I'll be the first to inform you!"
张璁 says:
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news, but I will definitely persuade the emperor not to eat that pill when I enter the palace in the next few days!"
Then the two exchanged pleasantries again, had lunch, and Du Yiyi and White Lotus took Yingnan and Yingqin to the farmer's house surnamed Li near the imperial tomb.
It was only in the evening that a few people arrived, and at this time the Li family had already closed the door, and Du Wei knocked on the door for a long time, so Li Wei got up and opened the door, and saw that it was Du Bucheng and a few people, so he hurriedly welcomed a few people in and lit candles.
At this time, Du did not forget to introduce Yingnan and Yingqin to Li Wei's family, and after comparing the genealogy, he knew that Yingnan and Yingqin were actually the same generation as Li Wei, and their ancestors were Xu Zhihe.
After all, the people of the same sect recognized Li Wei and Yingnan and Yingqin very happily, and Li Wei did not hesitate to take out the old wine that had been sealed at home for several years, and invited a few people to drink in the middle of the night.
In the wine room, Du Buyi took the opportunity to take out the treasure and the treasure key and put them on the table, and told a few people about the origin of these things.
As soon as the three members of Li Wei's family heard about the treasure, they were naturally very happy, so they asked to find the treasure with Yingnan, Yingqin and Du Bu to divide it equally.
Du Bu didn't forget that he was naturally not interested in this treasure, so he asked Yingnan Yingqin to stay here and live with Li Wei's family, and several people were discussing things in the future, so he took the white lotus and left at night.
After the two walked for a few miles, the White Lotus asked Du Yi in confusion:
"Why did you believe that Li Wei so easily, and actually left Yingnan and Yingqin at his house, and Baotu also gave them, aren't you afraid that they will harm Yingnan and Yingqin?"
Du did not forget and said:
"Then didn't we take the Li Wei family for a day, his family is a real person, not enough, besides, the treasure map was originally the Li family and the Xu family's things, I gave them a light body!"
The White Lotus said:
"Whatever you want, I can't walk now!"
Then he walked under a large tree and leaned down.
Du did not forget to smile when he saw this, and said:
"Okay, if you don't go, don't leave the wine, let's make a fire, I'll go and see if there's anything to eat nearby, find some to roast and eat, I haven't eaten game for a long time!"
The White Lotus then said:
"Then you go get it, I'll sleep here for a while!"
Then leaned under the tree, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
