Embroidered color and fragrance

Chapter 167
Hu Qiongyue went to Tongzhou, it was the flood season, Zhuang Yinan waited for a day at Tongfulou in Tongzhou, but the boat did not arrive.

I had to make an appointment for the day after tomorrow.

When he had free time, he walked around and looked around, and bought a lot of special products. Hu Qiongyue followed him for an hour, and when she saw him enter a restaurant, she got out of the car and entered the building. .

"Mr. Zhuang." Hu Qiongyue sat down in front of him, Zhuang Yinan was not surprised when she saw her, but got up and cupped her hands, saying: "My concubine."

Hu Qiongyue nodded, and said straight to the point: "Do you know that someone put a letter in my dowry box?"

"I don't know." Zhuang Yinan asked, "Who let it go?"

Hu Qiongyue handed the letter to him, Zhuang Yinan picked it up and read it, but he didn't recognize the handwriting, so he handed it to Hu Qiongyue, "It seems nothing special."

"Then what about this." Hu Qiongyue gave him a pack of medicinal powder, "I went to the pharmacy, and the other party said it was unprocessed aconitum."

She asked carefully, this kind of poison is also called "broken heart grass", if you eat too much, you will die.

Zhuang Yinan didn't even twitch her brows, looked at Hu Qiongyue, and said: "The side concubine shouldn't have shown me these, because I have done everything I can."

"What do you mean, you don't know?" Hu Qiongyue couldn't believe it, her whole body was cold.

Zhuang Yinan smiled slightly, noncommittal.

Hu Qiongyue knew that her trip was in vain, so she got up immediately, changed the topic, and said, "I'm worried, I came here to see off Mr.." Then, she called her girl to come up, and brought two boxes of things, " This is a gift from me to my parents, and Mr. Tired brought it back."

"Don't be tired, and your mother is filial. The master and wife will be very happy. I should work hard." Zhuang Yinan collected the things and personally sent Hu Qiongyue downstairs, watching her get into the carriage and go away, he stroked the top of the robe. building.

He sent things here in such a hurry, who is he going to let Hu poison?

Zhao Biao or Zhao Zhiting?
However, Zhao Biao is more likely. After all, if he wants to kill Zhao Zhiting, Hu Qiongyue probably won't do it.

Coercing people to do things also requires tactics.

Interesting, I didn't expect to gain so much by coming here.

Zhuang Yinan couldn't wait to go back and tell Xiao Shan about the situation here.

I don't know if the news about that person has been delivered to the mansion, and if the adults have already found out the clues.

After so many years, Master and Madam have suffered too much.

As for the person showing his head and tail now, they must not miss it.

In the middle of Beijing, Su Wanru's parents would have Shen Zhan in charge, and it would be even more successful. After the parents' meeting, she ordered the kitchen to open six tables of banquets in the girls' school, and almost everyone who came stayed, so the butchers and Yantie Shi led the table to eat wine, and the old man who bought vegetables and the second-rank official toasted.

Su Wanru walked around, she didn't sit down, she just talked to the people next door.

The guests and the host had a great time at a banquet. They didn't talk about the government and the people's livelihood, but only talked about their own children. They threw away their usual identities and only became fathers.

While talking, it turned to Fengyue, Su Wanru hid her face and left the scene with a smile, Si Sanbao quietly appeared behind her, she was startled, and said: "Elder-in-law, no matter how you walk, you still make no sound. "

"What are you thinking so much?" Si Sanbao looked at the scene in the courtyard, raised his brows, and said with a half-smile, "Little girl, is this the real purpose of your girls' school?"

Su Wanru was stunned for a moment, and said in puzzlement, "I don't understand what father-in-law means."

"Shaohe Zajia is putting on airs." Si Sanbao rolled Su Wanru's eyes, and said in a low voice: "In the past, there were Jiangnan Party, Northwest Party, and Yuhang Party... Now I am afraid that there is no one before or after. With the Women's School Party, there are all Thanks to you."

"And this?" Su Wanru's face was full of surprise, "If it's true, I will be famous forever."

Si Sanbao pointed to her head, and said angrily: "The boat has been found, send someone to bring money to inspect the boat."

"My father-in-law is quick and quick." Su Wanru gave a thumbs up, and Si Sanbao snorted coldly, and asked, "I ask you, Master Cui is pretending to be crazy, is that what you said? What does he think of this method as a scholar?" Get up, only you, a wicked girl, can think of it."

Su Wanru covered her face with a smile, and hissed, "... Father-in-law, you must keep it secret. I'm not helping Master Cui, I just don't want Yudie to marry and be murdered. I know Hu Qiongyue. She feels uncomfortable when she doesn't make trouble. We Yudie is pure and lovely, how can I serve her husband together."

"That's why you made her your side concubine?" Si Sanbao was annoyed, but he also knew that this method was actually the most appropriate, but it happened that Zhuang Yinan came, "If no one from the Chengdu government comes to recognize her, Honey, what are you going to do?"

"I didn't plan." Su Wanru said: "It's a marriage appointed by the imperial decree. If there is no suitable time, no matter how capable I am, there is nothing I can do to help."

Si Sanbao didn't believe it. Everything was done by humans. Now it seems that as long as this girl is willing to put her mind to it, nothing will trouble her.

"Okay, the miscellaneous family has one more thing to ask you." Si Sanbao asked, "Where did Prince Ning go?"

Su Wanru shook her head, "I don't know, he suddenly said to go out to work, and there is no news until now."

"It's also strange." Si Sanbao said, "I didn't find any trace of him."

What's so strange about this is that if Zhao Yan doesn't want people to find him, then he will definitely not be found. He just doesn't want to participate in world affairs, and it's not that he doesn't have the ability.

"Prince Ning is fine, why do you want to investigate him?" Su Wanru asked strangely.

Si Sanbao replied warily: "What does it have to do with you?" After finishing speaking, he turned around and left. Su Wanru sent him out, and the people in the courtyard couldn't see them through the screen wall. What Su Wanru thought of, asked: "Grandfather, Was there anyone famous or great in the previous dynasty?"

Si Sanbao frowned, "Why are you asking this?"

"Isn't this the Marquis of Changxing who is fighting? After the Yuanmeng people left the customs, Nurhachi seemed to be the only one who was useful. Could it be that there were no useful or famous people in the previous dynasty?"

"Yes." Si Sanbao said, "Princess Xizhen from the previous dynasty."

Su Wanru was stunned for a moment, and asked, "The former princess who built the Moon Tower?"

"That's right." Si Sanbao said, "Other than that, Zajia really can't think of any other great people at the moment."

Su Wanru nodded, that's right, that princess is indeed a celebrity, she smiled and said, "I want to ask a man, or... a courtier."

"This miscellaneous family is not very clear. You can look up the history books, or..." Si Sanbao pointed inside, "There are so many well-educated people, and there are still a few courtiers left over from the previous dynasty. You can ask them. .”

If she could ask, she would have asked, but she didn't know how much she had to do with that person, so she acted cautiously.

"Elder-in-law." Su Wanru said in a low voice, "I'll give you a favor and make you rich."

Si Sanbao straightened his face, and said, "What kind of favor?" Su Wanru usually spoke three truths and seven false sentences when talking to him, but when she was really talking about something serious, she never joked.

"Lord Lu who was involved in the ink corruption case in Jingzhou, and Lord Lin who framed me at that time, and Lord Zhou who was involved in the case of murdering refugees, Lord Zhu, Lord Liao... do you know that they have something in common?" Su Wanru said.

Si Sanbao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately replied, "Are they all officials left over from the previous dynasty?"

"That's right." Su Wanru said: "I'm sure that these people must have some kind of connection, maybe they are colluding together to plot something wrong, father-in-law, this matter is not trivial, you must investigate it. You can't blame a good person, but you can't be wrong Let go of the traitor and traitor."

"The miscellaneous family really didn't notice this matter." He didn't think about the two things together. After Su Wanru's reminder, he immediately thought of the seriousness of the matter, "The miscellaneous family will seriously investigate this matter."

He remembered that there were still seven or eight former court officials in Beijing, and three or four were released to the outside world. He had to go back and check the exact number, and then investigate one by one.

If it is really like what Su Wanru said, then she must not take it lightly.

"After the matter is done, father-in-law, please remember to thank me." Su Wanru pursed her lips and smiled, Si Sanbao pointed at her, and said, "Isn't the miscellaneous family treating you well enough? I'm really dissatisfied."

With that said, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Su Wanru leaned against the door with folded arms, and sent Si Sanbao away with a smile.

The banquet was a success, Su Wanru sent all the adults away, no one was drunk, but they all had a good time, it was rare to talk with so many colleagues, I'm afraid it will be difficult next time.

"Aunt Su." Master Cui cupped his hands slightly drunk, "When I came, Madam told me to ask Aunt Su to come and sit at home more."

Su Wanru answered with a smile, saluted and said: "Next time I want to invite all the wives to gather here, sir, you must agree."

"How can I stop this, definitely, definitely." Master Cui smiled, greeted him, got on the sedan chair and left.

When the inside and outside became empty, Su Wanru looked at Shen Zhan who was "drunk" on the chair, and went up to pat his face, "Master Hou, everyone is gone, and he's still drunk."

"How do you know I'm not drunk?" Shen Zhan took her hand, Su Wanru smiled lightly, and said, "With your status, if you go out to see them off, it will seem too deliberate, but if you don't see them off, it can't be justified, it's the most appropriate to be drunk on both sides gone."

"Little girl." Shen Zhan said with a smile, "I'm not drunk with wine, I'm drunk by myself."

Su Wanru laughed, and said, "That's right, I've read a lot recently, and I can actually recite poems."

"Master is full of knowledge!" Shen Zhan coughed, "Do you want another song?"

Su Wanru pointed to the sky, "It's going to rain, hurry up and tell the mothers to put away the table, and even recite poems, it's going to be a rainy night and run wild."

"It's not right to run wildly on a rainy night, but it's good to go for a walk." The two went out while talking, Su Wanru said: "I just told Si Sanbao about the matter, and after he heard it, he planned to investigate."

Shen Zhan scratched her nose, nodded and said, "It's really smart."

"I'm just worried about my second brother." Su Wanru said, "Does the person you sent recognize him, is it reliable?"

"Don't worry." Shen Zhan said: "Even if I don't send someone, he will be fine. You don't have the second brother who I know about you."

That's right, her second brother was never stupid, he just mistrusted someone.

Hu Qiongyue drove for a day, was too tired to speak, lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, Zhao Zhiting woke up with his eyes open, and asked softly: "What's the matter? But Mr. Zhuang said something bad to provoke you Sad."

Hu Qiongyue said nothing.

"If you really miss your parents, write to Chengdu Mansion and invite them to Yanjing." Zhao Zhiting held her hand under the quilt and found that her hand was extremely cold.

In the dim light, Hu Qiongyue looked at Zhao Zhiting and asked her to write a letter to invite Xiao Shan to come to the capital... It seems that Zhao Zhiting is not really innocent.

Fortunately, born in the royal family, even if he is not that smart, he still has instinctive decisions.

Let Xiao Shan come, kill him or seize the military power, and they can easily regain the Chengdu Mansion if it is messed up.

If Xiao Shan's daughter is really her, will she come?

After thinking wildly for a while, Hu Qiongyue smiled and said, "Okay, when my mother is in better health, I will write to invite their elders to Beijing."

"Yeah. Go to bed early." Zhao Zhiting patted her, closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

Hu Qiongyue sighed, and when she was about to fall asleep in a daze, she suddenly heard her son scream in the next door, and burst into tears. She sat up in shock and shouted: "Feng'er."

Just like crazy, I ran over without even wearing shoes.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Zhiting woke up startled, and followed him. When he opened the door, he saw the nurse holding the baby and coaxing her. Seeing the two of them coming in, he knelt down in shock. Hu Qiongyue snatched the baby to check if it was there. Where does it hurt.

"What's going on?" Zhao Zhiting asked the wet nurse.

The nurse was quite frightened, and replied: "The young master was startled in his dream, and when he yelled, the servant picked him up and coaxed him."

"Is there anyone else in the room except you?" Hu Qiongyue didn't find that the child was injured, she looked around vigilantly, the windows were closed, and there was no problem inside and outside, so the wet nurse replied: "There is only one slave, there is no one else. gone."

Zhao Zhiting looked at the child and confirmed that it was all right. Then he remembered that the question Hu Qiongyue asked was a bit strange, "Yue'er, what's the matter?" He glanced at the nurse again, "She will be fine."

The wet nurse is the son of the mansion, and she was also a girl who worked in the mansion. This year, she just gave birth to a child. Seeing that she is in good health and full of milk, the princess came to the mansion to take care of Zhao Yufeng.

"I'm just worried about Feng'er." Hu Qiongyue hugged the child tightly, "I'll take him back to sleep, I don't feel at ease here."

The child stopped crying and fell asleep again, sobbing.

Hu Qiongyue breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she was thinking too much.

"It's up to you." Zhao Zhiting yawned and went to sleep in the study. Hu Qiongyue took the child back to the room, put the child down, touched the child's face, and suddenly found that there was a small ear on the child's ear. Beads of blood, crying and shaking her head from side to side just now, the bead of blood was rubbing onto the quilt, she didn't notice it just now.

It was a small eye that had been pricked by a needle.

"How could this be..." Hu Qiongyue was cold all over, and couldn't help shaking while holding the child, "How could this be?"

Is this a warning from the other party to her?Tell her that as long as she doesn't obey the other party's orders, her children are in danger at any time?

Who, exactly what is going to make her do.

Hu Qiongyue hugged the child tightly, her heart pounding with fear and hatred, she actually... actually used his child to remind her what they wanted to do.

After Zhao Zhiting got up in the morning, he went to his own yard, opened the door and saw Hu Qiongyue hugging the child leaning on the bedside and taking a nap, apparently having not slept all night, he said in amazement: "Yue'er, what are you doing?" What are you doing?"

Hu Qiongyue woke up with a start, her eyes were red, she sat up and said: "It's okay, I was startled last night, I couldn't sleep, and I was worried that the wind would make me sleep with him in my arms."

"Give Feng'er to the nanny quickly, and you can sleep for a while." Zhao Zhiting went to pick up the child, and Hu Qiongyue handed the child to him, "Your Highness, can Feng'er sleep with us at night?"

Zhao Zhiting had nothing to do, and followed her and said, "If you want to take it with you, you can take it with you, but you can't stay up all night like this."

"Your Highness, you are too kind to me." Hu Qiongyue was very moved, Zhao Zhiting smiled helplessly, "We are husband and wife, if I am not nice to you, who should I be nice to?"

Hu Qiongyue looked at him and smiled lightly. She thought it was just to take advantage of the relationship, but she didn't expect that she got such Zhao Zhiting.

The child was taken away, but Hu Qiongyue lost sleepiness. She lay on the bed thinking about things over and over again. After a while, she fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up, it was already noon.

There was a letter by her pillow.

Hu Qiongyue gasped.

These people were almost everywhere, she was sleeping, and there were people guarding outside the room, they were able to put the letter beside her pillow silently as if they were in no one's land.

Open the letter, this time there are quite a few words written in it.

But it made her look cold all over, because the other party asked her to put Aconitum in Zhao Biao's daily medicine... Zhao Biao's health has improved a bit in the past two years, but he still takes a dose of medicine every day, She didn't know what the prescription was, but she had seen the medicine woman bring the medicine to the main hall.

Poison Zhao Biao?
What if she doesn't?

What the other party meant was that her child's life was at her fingertips and could be taken at any time.

The words in the letter are simple and straightforward, blatantly threatening and warning.

Now she knows why the other party did this, and everything is connected...

It turned out that they knew her identity from the very beginning, no wonder... At that time, Uncle Panyang's mansion would suddenly change its mind and accept her as a foster daughter, so that her identity could be honored. Get to know Zhao Zhiting.

Everything is not a coincidence or chance, but arranged by someone.

How to do?
What is she going to do, kill Zhao Biao... If Zhao Biao dies, will Zhao Zhiang be the emperor's grandson?

Not necessarily, after all, he still has several sons, and the court will definitely be chaotic, and their chances of winning are not certain.

If it fails, what will Zhao Zhiting do?

No matter which uncle of his ascends the throne, it is impossible to tolerate keeping him.

Hu Qiongyue shook her head, Zhao Biao could do it, but the premise was that she had to ensure that Zhao Zhiting's interests would not be affected.

She fell on the bed with a splitting headache. After thinking so much, she found that she had no choice at all. The person who wrote the letter obviously didn't want to discuss with her what to do.

but an order.

"That's right." Hu Qiongyue stood up suddenly, "Su Wanru, she can't do it, but she can let Su Wanru do it, isn't she wanting revenge?"

Hu Qiongyue called to Tweety, "Help me comb my hair."

In Fahua Temple, Su Wanru and Mei Yu came to do the ritual today, and re-lit the three lamps last year with oil and continued the incense. She knelt on the futon and chanted scriptures in her ears, and her heart gradually calmed down. Things flashed through my mind one by one and settled down.

"Aunt Su." Mei Yu came over, knelt side by side with her, and said in a low voice, "I brought the scriptures, do you want to write the scriptures and burn them?"

Su Wanru opened her eyes and shook her head, "No need, I'll tell them after I finish what I want to do."

"Know what you want." Mei Yu looked at her with a slight smile, Su Wanru nodded, and said: "Your master and your parents will also know."

Mei Yu nodded slightly, clasped her hands together and looked at the majestic Buddha statue, with a distant voice, "...I just want Master to know. As for my parents, I don't know who they are." Then, she turned to look at Su Wanru, "I haven't seen them."

"Sorry." Su Wanru smiled apologetically, and said, "Let's go eat vegetarian food. I heard that the vegetarian food here is very good."

Mei Yuying, the two went side by side to the dining hall in the backyard. The monks coming and going were quiet and solemn, and people felt immersed in the temple. The two sat down and ordered a few dishes casually, sitting at the square table in the corner Drink tea and talk.

"What are you talking about?" Hu Qiongyue appeared from the door, her eyes turned to see Mei Yu, "Doctor Mei? Heh, I didn't expect you to be here."

Mei Yu stood up, cupped her hands slightly, and sat down again without saying a word.

"Su Wanru, you really are not simple. Who else is here with you now? People who I thought were dead are not dead." Hu Qiongyue also sat down, Su Wanru raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "The side concubine Are you going to ask me to salute and say hello to you?"

"You don't obey the rules, but I won't bump into the Buddha in the temple, so let you be rude." Hu Qiongyue poured tea for herself, glanced at Mei Yu, raised her eyebrows and said, "When did Doctor Mei come to the capital?" , What a surprise. If I knew you were here, I should have invited you when I was sick."

"I'm not good at gynecology." Mei Yu didn't like Hu Qiongyue, so he didn't need to hide it.

Hu Qiongyue sneered and said, "I want to talk to Su Wanru, you should step back."

Mei Yu looked at Su Wanru.

"You are just a side concubine, let him step down, your face is really big and strange." Su Wanru gave Hu Qiongyue a white look, "I will do things, and I am very familiar with this set of procedures. When you die in the future, look Since you are my cousin, I will also help you."

Hu Qiongyue's face suddenly darkened, "You'll get better soon, you and I really don't know who will die first."

Su Wanru guessed the purpose of her visit today, and said with a smile: "Well, then before you die, my good sister, you should quickly say everything you need to say."

"Don't you want revenge?" Hu Qiongyue didn't want to say anything more, and said, "We can cooperate."

Su Wanru looked at her in surprise, "Well, let's talk about how to cooperate." Is that the person who came to collect the interest? Who should she kill, Zhao Biao or Zhao Zhiting?
She is very scared.

It's right to be afraid, Su Wanru looked at her with a half-smile.

"You know, there are many confidential documents in the prince's mansion. I am now a side concubine and can go to many places. If you want these documents, I can get them for you."

Su Wanru held her chin and looked at her, "What do you want me to do?"

"What can you help me with? What I want is... the people behind you." Hu Qiongyue said, as if you were not qualified.

Su Wanru looked back, then looked at Hu Qiongyue, and suddenly realized, "You want to see Si Sanbao. That's fine, let him go to see you tomorrow." She deliberately put the word "meeting" very seriously.

"Si Sanbao?" Hu Qiongyue was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you not clear with the Marquis of Zhennan and King Ning, when did you hook up with Si Sanbao again?"

Su Wanru smiled lightly, and said: "Because I am beautiful, beautiful people are always more pleasing."

"Su Wanru, you still have to be shameless." This reminded Hu Qiongyue that the last time Su Wanru tricked Zhao Zhiting, if it wasn't for her miscarriage that made Zhao Zhiting forget about Su Wanru in a panic, maybe it was...

Therefore, recently she dared not mention to Zhao Zhiting about helping her harm Su Wanru, for fear that Su Wanru would really seduce Zhao Zhiting when they got in touch again.

All men are lustful, and Zhao Zhiting is no exception.

"Yes." Su Wanru smiled lightly, and said, "Let's talk about serious things, my good sister."

Hu Qiongyue paused, and said: "I want the Marquis of Zhennan to submit a memorial, and ask the Holy One to appoint a grandson first!"

"You are sick. The crown prince is still here, so you want to make a grandson? You really can't wait to curse Zhao Zhiang to die soon, right?" Su Wanru rolled her eyes at her, and said, "Besides, this grandson is not Fengbufeng at all. The difference is, given the current situation, even if Zhao Biao dies, Zhao Zhiang will definitely make Zhao Zhiting the emperor's grandson, but the premise is that he doesn't mess up."

"You think so?" Hu Qiongyue asked.

Su Wanru nodded, "The only two competitors are His Highness the Fifth Highness and Prince Ning, but the Holy Majesty prefers Zhao Zhiting." He added: "So, you still have a bright future."

Hu Qiongyue didn't believe what Su Wanru said, but she also knew that what she said was actually not wrong.

She didn't want to stay anymore, she got up and said, "If you don't want to cooperate, just tell me, I have plenty of people available." Saying that, she walked away.

Su Wanru looked at Hu Qiongyue's back, and said to Mei Yu, "It seems that she is planning to poison Zhao Biao."

Zhao Biao is...well...actually pretty good.

But it has nothing to do with her, take care of yourself.

As night fell, Zhao Zhiting asked someone to go out for a drink. After he came back, either he was injured or Hu Qiongyue had a miscarriage. He hadn't had time to go out to play, and today he finally had time to go out.

A group of people drank in Cuixiang Building until midnight, Zhao Zhiting wobbled and was helped into the carriage, accompanied by more than a dozen guards, who escorted him back to the mansion with serious expressions.

After the curfew, the street was very quiet. People from Bingmasi inspected the carriage and saw that it was the carriage of the Prince's Mansion, and said hello and left. Zhao Zhiting stared in a daze, and felt the carriage was shaken by someone, and then heard the carriage. There was a sound of stomping and squatting on the wall.

He woke up immediately, opened the curtain and was about to ask, when an arrow was shot right at him, he flung himself on the wall of the car in fright, and the arrow was nailed to the mattress at the back with a plop.

"Your Highness." His entourage said: "Someone is assassinated. Your subordinate is driving. You sit still."

Only then did Zhao Zhiting come to his senses, he lay on his stomach and did not dare to move, and shouted, "Hurry up, hurry up."

The carriage jumped out quickly, but at the moment when it got up, it was caught by something, and the horse limped and knelt on the ground. The driver was thrown out by the force of inertia, rolled on the ground and stood up. When he came to help him, Zhao Zhiting had already been ejected from the car.

The person fell to the ground with a loud snap.

Zhao Zhiting groaned in pain, rolled on the spot to get up, and hid behind the car.

At this moment, with a bang, an arrow was nailed to his shoulder, neither deep nor shallow, neither up nor down...

"Your Highness." Someone rushed over to protect Zhao Zhiting.

Zhao Zhiting was covered in cold sweat from the pain but didn't feel dizzy, so he had to endure the pain for life.

"Bold and lunatic, how dare you make trouble in the capital," Bingmasi's men ran back, and the Xiang army patrolling the city also rushed over. As soon as the two parties came, the arrows stopped and there was no sound.

Zhao Zhiting shouted: "Go and chase."

"Yes!" Surrounded by people, Zhao Zhiting and Chang Sui asked as the light from the torch scattered in all directions, "I can see people."

Chang Sui shook his head, and replied: "No, the other party was sniping in the dark, and we didn't see it."

"Damn it!" Zhao Zhiting was furious, "Check it out for me. If you find out who it is, you'll be quartered." As he spoke, he touched the arrow on his back and the scratched skin on his face when he fell, and finally passed out from the pain.

The whole city was searched, and the darkened courtyard was startled by the sound of knocking on the door. When the lights came on, someone opened the door and asked, "Who are you?"

"Soldiers and horses search for thieves, irrelevant people wait to retreat." People rushed in, rushed in, searched around and found no one, then retreated, knocked on the door next door, and it was the same.

Su Wanru was also awakened. The soldiers and horses did not dare to rush in, but asked them to check themselves. Of course, there was no gain after checking. Su Wanru was wearing clothes, with sleepy eyes, nodded and said: "How else to check, We will cooperate."

"Don't bother Aunt Su, let's check the next place." People hurried away, Su Wanru yawned, and said to the startled women: "Go to sleep, everything is fine."

Everyone went away muttering again.

Assassinating the eldest grandson of the emperor was naturally no small matter. The Forbidden Army, Xiang Army, Bing Ma Si, and even Wang Dahai and Si Sanbao all participated in it, not letting go of any clues.

Unfortunately, no harvest.

Hu Qiongyue sat beside Zhao Zhiting's bed, looking at his pale face, her heart was pounding... Zhao Zhiting couldn't die, Zhao Biao had to die.

Even if they are not sure enough to be named grandson after Zhao Biao's death, there are still many chances, right?

Hu Qiongyue got up, and said to Cui'er, "Where is your highness's medicine, I will fry it myself."

"It's frying in the small kitchen on the side of the main hall." Cui'er said, "If you want to go, my maidservant can accompany you there."

Hu Qiongyue waved her hand, "You accompany Your Highness." She said and went to the small kitchen on the side of the main hall. There was no oil pan here, and it was only responsible for boiling water and decocting medicine, and Zhao Biao's medicine was also decocting in it.

She suddenly remembered, did the other party assassinate Zhao Zhiting on purpose? After Zhao Zhiting was injured, she could come and go here openly.

Such a cruel method.

Hu Qiongyue stood at the door for a while, then carried her skirt into the small kitchen.

Outside a small courtyard in Hejianfu City, a young man led his horse and stood there for a quarter of an hour. He was wearing a sky-blue straight gown, with a delicate and handsome appearance. attention.

Someone even stopped to size up and look at him unabashedly.

As if unconscious, the man put his horses on the lion pier outside the courtyard, stepped forward, and knocked on the door.

Across the door, the courtyard inside was very quiet. The man waited for a while, and the door finally opened. A man dressed as a servant in his thirties opened the door. Seeing him stunned, he blurted out: "My lord... my lord."

"Uncle Ma, is uncle here?" Zhao Yan asked.

Ma Jin was a little hesitant, but finally opened the door a little bit, "The master is here, come in and sit down, my lord."

Zhao Yan nodded, and said as he entered the door: "My horse is a little tired, you can feed him some food."

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm going to feed the horse right now." Ma Jin closed the door and led the horse around to feed the horse.

Standing in the courtyard, Zhao Yan stroked his robe and walked towards the main entrance. A man in his fifties came out of the gate. He had gray hair, gray eyebrows, and even a gray beard. He was wearing a The half-worn dark blue straight gown, flat and without any wrinkles, and a pair of black single shoes with round toes on the feet, striding forward, smiling at Zhao Yan, amiable.

"Uncle." Zhao Yan stepped forward to salute, the old man laughed and said, "How do you know I'm here?"

Zhao Yan replied: "Uncle said he likes this place, so I thought you might be here, so I came here to try my luck." He actually ran to several places.

"Then you're lucky." The old man asked Zhao Yan to sit down and looked at him, "Why do you look a little thinner, but what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Yan shook his head.

"That's good. What books have you read recently?" The old man said, suddenly thinking of something, "Wait a minute, I have read and noted the manuscript you just wrote, just in time for you to come, I took it Here it is, lest I forget."

Zhao Yan did not speak, poured tea for himself, and looked at the courtyard. This was his second visit, and he stayed here for two nights when he first came to Beijing a few years ago.

"Here." The old man handed him the book. It was a manuscript, and it was signed, "Wangye Layman".

Zhao Yan smiled faintly, took it and put it in his hand, looked at the old man, and said, "How long has uncle lived here?"

"It's been almost ten days." The old man said: "I went to Jiangxi some time ago. I stayed in the capital for a few days and wanted to visit you in the capital. I didn't expect you to come first."

Zhao Yan nodded with a smile, and said, "Uncle, Zhuang Yinan, Xiaoshan's staff member, has gone to the capital, and he even recognized his relatives."

"Don't talk about this, you know I don't like to hear these things. If you have this time, why not read more books." The old man said: "Your new book, take it and print it quickly, it will definitely be a big deal for a while. sensation."

Zhao Yan looked at the old man, nodded and said, "Okay. I'll print it when I get back to the capital. Ah Jin also likes to read it very much. I plan to give this manuscript to her. Do you think it's okay?"

"Ajin? That girl you told me you liked?" The old man's brows furrowed very quickly, and then relaxed, as if no other emotions had appeared on his face.

Zhao Yan nodded, "It's her. She likes reading travel notes very much."

"It's up to you, it's your manuscript, and it's your own friend." The old man didn't say anything, just said: "You have to remember, you can't force anything."

Zhao Yan was holding the book, turned his head down, and there were really notes in it, the words were small, so it could be seen that he had really read it carefully.

"Uncle also thinks that everything should not be forced." Zhao Yan asked.

Just as the old man was about to speak, someone knocked on the door again. After several knocks, no one opened it. Then he remembered that the horse went in to feed the horse. He glanced at Zhao Yan and said, "I'll go see who's here."

Said to open the door.

Zhao Yan also got up and went out.

The old man opened the door, and there was a young man in his twenties standing outside the door, with a normal face and a shy smile, wearing a rough brown coat, "... Excuse me, can I come in and ask for some water."

"Ask for water?" The old man glanced outside the door. Although the place is lively, there are teahouses on the left and right, and you can drink a big bowl for a penny.

Someone even came to ask for water.

"Yes." The boy replied: "Old man, it may be convenient for you."
