Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 659 Brothers

As soon as the news of Li Zhi's going to Qingzhou spread, the concubines of the Eastern Palace came together, crying, saying that they were reluctant to let the prince travel far away. How important it is in my heart, and how reluctant I am to let the prince leave me.

Li Zhi was in a good mood at this moment, and his wives strongly expressed their reluctance to bear him and showed their love to him, so he couldn't drive them away, so he had to comfort them one by one, especially the pregnant Xiao Liangdi, who cared a lot and made him happy. She takes care of herself.

But no matter how much he comforted and cared, the concubines kept tossing and turning, endlessly, she said after you said it, and I said it again after she finished it, I don’t know how to say it hundreds of thousands of times, I don’t want to bear it, thinking that they will be watching for a long time If you don't reach the prince, you can't help but cry!
In the end, even Shi Aiguo got tired of hearing these words. He thought to himself: "Even if the crown prince doesn't leave Chang'an or the East Palace, you can see him every day? Many people here won't see the crown prince for a month. If it weren't for the announcement that the prince is leaving today, I'm afraid you won't see each other for a few months. There's nothing to cry about, the more you cry, the more upset the prince is, and I don't want to see you in the future!"

Li Zhi was indeed annoyed by crying, he glanced at the concubines and said, "Where is the crown princess, why didn't she come?"

Crown Princess Wang is the head of the concubines in the East Palace. She should be there at this time, and she should cry the loudest, but all the other concubines came, but she was missing.

Xiao Liangdi had a big belly and said very unhappy: "My sister heard that His Highness was going to Qingzhou, she didn't come to see him off, but instead ran away without a trace, she didn't run sooner or later, but she ran at this time, I don't know what she wanted Heart. Your Highness, don't bother with her..."

Li Zhi's ears are soft, and now he is annoyed by the concubines crying. Hearing Xiao Liangdi's words, he felt a little unhappy, and said: "Why did she go? The palace is only so big, where can she go? baffling."

As he spoke, he shook his sleeves and got up, left the Chongxian Hall, went to find his younger sister Li Yiren, avoided the concubines, and listened to them crying, which really upset him, so Shi Aiguo went with him.

After riding the chariot, Li Zhi sat on the chariot and asked, "Where did the princess go?"

Shi Aiguo said: "If you go back to the crown prince, your majesty is not like others, she understands the matter! You are going to Qingzhou, who is there in Qingzhou?"

Li Zhi let out a sigh, and said, "If you ask this question, who else in Qingzhou is sick or not?"

Shi Aiguo smiled and said: "That's right, the prince is the mother's family. The mother knows that you are going to see her cousin, so of course you have to go to see the cousin's wife!"

Li Zhi gasped, and wondered: "Why didn't she say goodbye to me first and say something considerate, but ran to see my younger sister?" Could it be that a husband is not as important as his cousin and daughter-in-law?

Shi Aiguo smiled even wider, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, if she is in the East Palace, the empress wants to say something personal to you, but she can't. How many people want to talk to you. But if she is with the little princess, then Isn't it justified, the little princess won't argue with the empress."

Li Zhi finally understood, shook his head and said: "These women really can't figure out what they are thinking, don't they just want to talk to Gu, but they have to go around such a big detour, it's not troublesome!"

Shi Aiguo laughed a few times, but didn't answer.He thought to himself: "The key is that she wants to talk to you, and you have to be in the mood to listen! You must be in the East Palace. You must not be in the mood, but when you go to the little princess, even if you are not in the mood, you still have to listen, or you have to listen to it." Let the little princess see the joke!"

Not long after they arrived at Li Yiren's palace, the Crown Princess Wang was indeed here, and was packing up with Li Yiren.Li Yiren found a lot of good things, many exquisite items in the palace, and she wanted to ask Li Zhi to bring them to Wang Ping'an, and the big and small bags were being packed.As a cousin, Wang is of course obliged to help, and just had an excuse to hold back and wait for the prince to arrive.

After entering the palace, Li Zhi looked at Mrs. Wang and thought, "It's really here. She seems to have become a lot smarter. She actually blocked me here. She couldn't help crying too. That's really annoying. .”

Unexpectedly, when Wang saw Li Zhi, she didn't cry out loud. Instead, she congratulated Li Zhi with Li Yiren, saying that he could observe the people's sentiments and gain experience. Sick or something.

Li Yiren said: "Brother Prince, you have to be careful on the way to Qingzhou. My little sister often hears that there are many bad people in this world, and everyone wants to harm you."

Li Zhi cheered up, and said: "Everyone will kill Gu, that's not necessarily the case. If Gu is killed, what benefits will those bad guys get? There are no benefits, but there are a lot of disadvantages."

He thought to himself: "It is impossible for ordinary people to kill me, but it is very possible for someone who is not an ordinary person, such as Li Ke. If I die, he will be in power."

Li Yiren took out a small, slender wooden stick, which was hollow in the middle. She opened the small wooden stick, and took out a silver cone from it, which was so delicate that it was so smooth that it could almost reflect light.She said: "Brother Prince, this silver needle is for you. When you are away from home, you need to be careful about what you eat and drink. Before eating and drinking, try using this silver needle first. If it turns black, it proves to be poisonous."

Li Zhi took a look at the silver needle, and said: "There are also such things for poison testing in the palace, but it is rare to make this kind of awl. The only ones I have seen are chopsticks and silver medals."

Wang hurriedly said: "This is given to Yiren by my concubine brother. She cares about the crown prince, so I passed it on to you."

Li Zhi snorted, and said, "Wang Ping'an sent it? He brings all the good things to you!"

Wang Pingan gave Li Yiren a lot of gifts, all in the name of Wang and his wife, all of which were precious things, and the big businessmen in Beijing flattered Wang Pingan, and when they had rare treasures, they also sent people to honor Li Yiren , so Li Yiren now looks like the richest woman in the Tang Dynasty. Her palace has all kinds of good things, and her food and clothing are even more luxurious than the emperor's.

Li Yiren took the silver needle and said: "It's for self-defense if it's made like this. It's always bad to carry a knife with you, it takes up space, and it may not be useful, but this silver needle is different. Brother, you Look!"

She held the silver needle like an awl in her hand, and said: "If there is an assassin who wants to harm you, the guards can't stop the assassin and let him bully you, Brother Prince, you want to do this..." She held the silver needle With a gesture, he said with a smile: "Suddenly stab the assassin in the eye, and he can be disabled!"

Li Zhi let out a cry, took the silver needle and looked it over carefully, made a few more gestures, and said, "It turns out that it can be used as a personal sharp weapon. It really is a good thing!" He put the silver needle out of the wooden stick, put it in arms.

Mrs. Wang also prepared a gift for Li Zhi, but she came in a hurry. As soon as she learned that Li Zhi was leaving, she rushed to Li Yiren's place. She didn't have time to prepare gifts, but she just wanted Li Yiren's things. Come, just borrow flowers to offer Buddha.

They are making preparations here, and the Wu Palace is also in full swing, and Li Ke is also preparing luggage.

A new group of staff and capable people were recruited in the Prince Wu's mansion. There will never be a shortage of people who want to go heresy. Although Li Ke's stove is cold, there are as many people who come to light the fire as they want.

Li Ke stood in the main hall, with a huge map hanging on the screen, dozens of people surrounded Li Ke, and analyzed various key points of the trip with him.

An aide said: "My lord, if you want to go to Qingzhou, there are two roads. The official road is more than a thousand miles, but if you take a shortcut, it is only a few hundred miles, which is almost half the distance. This time we will go to Qingzhou , it’s better to take a shortcut, the mountains are high and the water is dangerous, some things can be done by looking for opportunities!”

The other aides also nodded, and everyone knew that there was nothing else they could do, and of course it was the prince's business.This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The prince is leaving the capital, and the road is "uneasy". Isn't it normal for something to happen?
Li Ke shook his head and said: "Impossible, if I go alone, I can take a shortcut, but if I go with that person, I can only take the official route. I want to take a shortcut, but he won't. You have to listen to him."

Another staff member said: "It's okay to take the official route. The delay will be longer and there will be more opportunities. Unaccustomed to the environment is a good excuse. The man has never traveled far from Beijing. He is used to drinking water from Chang'an. In a place like this, it’s not easy to not fall ill.”

The staff members nodded together, this idea is good, we can make a fuss from drinking water.

Li Ke also hasn't been away from Chang'an for so long, and he doesn't quite understand the unacceptable things.He asked: "Poisoning water? It's not easy. You can try it out. If a person wants to drink water, he must have someone else drink it for him first, and in terms of taste... I know that there is a poison called arsenic. Although the one in the middle is killed immediately, but the smell is very strong, and the attendant who is carrying with him will know that the water is poisonous as soon as he smells it!"

A capable person standing outside shouted in a strange accent: "The villain has tasteless poison, and it is very easy to poison, so the villain knows a way to poison."

Everyone turned their heads together and looked at the capable man who spoke, and saw that this man was a barbarian with a high nose and deep eyes.It is really a miracle that Hu people can sneak into Li Ke's mansion to cheat, eat and drink!
It doesn't matter who they are, as long as they are useful, Tang people and Hu people are all human beings, and they are all the same in Li Ke's eyes.Li Ke beckoned and said, "Come here, tell me, what is the method of poisoning?"

The barbarian squeezed in, looked at the others proudly, and said: "I don't know who the lord is going to poison to death, the villain only heard about that person, who is that person?"

When everyone heard this, they all frowned. Whoever that person is is that person. Who dares to reveal who he is? Don't die. Who knows if there are any spies from the Eastern Palace here? Just know it well. !

Li Ke said: "That man is the name of a horse, stronger than a cow, taller than a camel, this king wants to poison this horse to death!"

Hu Xin thought: "A horse? Is it so troublesome to use it? Isn't it enough to kill it with a knife?" He said: "This is easy. The sheep that can be used for the plague take blood and mix it with water. After drinking this water, within a few days And you will die. And if the symptoms are milder, it is acclimatization, even if the symptoms are more serious, it does not matter, it is just infected with the plague!"
