The Unparalleled Warrior of the Dream of the Red Chamber

"Empress mother, I'm here to pick you and junior sister back to the palace." Shui Chi beat his horse like flying, and galloped all the way up Qingtai Mountain, rushed into the other courtyard and went outside the queen's room, yelling loudly.

The queen was talking to Daiyu, when she suddenly heard such a voice from the water, both of them were really shocked, the queen patted Daiyu's hand and said: "Yu'er, lie down and rest first, auntie, go and see." Look at that brash boy."

"Qi'er, what are you talking about in broad daylight? The quarrel has made everyone restless, and it's really becoming more and more unruly." The queen walked out of the room, frowning slightly and pretending to reprimand.

Shui Chi hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "Mother, you were surprised by the delay of my son's arrival and lack of escort."

The queen knew that the guards must have sent the news of the assassin's attack back to the palace, she shook her head and said: "How many storms have never been experienced before, this is nothing, and it is worth your fuss, get up, the queen mother is nothing, even the assassin's I didn't even see the shadow, but Yu'er was frightened, just after taking a rest, you woke me up again."

Shui Chi heard that Daiyu was frightened, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Little junior sister is frightened, what can I do, I'll go and see her." Really frightened, how could the queen be so calm and calm, even with a smile in her eyes.

"Stop." The queen gave a low voice, pulled Shui Chi, and Shui Chi shouted urgently: "Mother, I want to see my junior sister."

"You idiot, you can also break into the room of the girl's house. If you turn around and annoy your little junior sister, I won't help you." The queen poked Shui Chi's forehead and said angrily.

Shui Chi hurriedly stopped, turned around and held the Queen's arm and begged: "Good mother, please tell me how little junior sister is doing now, my son is very worried about her."

The queen walked to the hall at a leisurely pace, and Shui Chi had to accompany her. The queen said lightly: "It's strange to say that a strange person came suddenly the night before, and he didn't hurt anyone. After a few tricks, Yu'er had just detoxified at that time, and her body was upright, so she couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and now she's fine. Chi'er, don't worry, Yu'er will only take care of her for a few days, and she will be fine. Nothing happened."

"Little Junior Sister was poisoned? When, who injected the poison? What kind of poison?" Shui Chi immediately exploded when he heard the words "detoxified", he widened his eyes and shouted.

"Little Junior Sister was poisoned? Who poisoned him? I'm going to cut him alive!" Shui Chi's roar didn't stop, and another angry shout came from outside the hall.The queen looked up, only to see Shui Rong with a sallow complexion running from the outside, swaying, Shui Rong only heard the water murmuring in his ears, and then yelled angrily.

"Rong'er, what's wrong with you? Why is your complexion so bad? Are you sick?" The queen regarded Shui Rong as her own son, and seeing Shui Rong's extremely pale complexion, she naturally asked with a hundredfold concern.

"Aunt, it doesn't matter to me. It's just that I was drunk last night and I'll be fine after two days of rest. The matter of my junior sister is important. What's going on? Tell me quickly!" Shui Rong came to the queen and knelt down Salute, shouted eagerly.

The queen shook her head and smiled, "You two brothers look pretty normal. Seeing your yellow face, why don't you get up, sit down and rest, and listen to my aunt telling you slowly."

The hangover from Shui Rong was still there and he was on a long-distance journey. When he stopped for a while, he felt his legs tremble. He picked up Shui Rong and pushed him onto the chair. He said in a deep voice, "Sit down and rest first. If you don’t have the ability, don’t drink so much next time, let you rest at Uncle Lin’s house, if you want to rush here, I can do it by myself.”

Shui Rong stared at Shui Rong's words with anger, Shui Chi picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of water to Shui Rong, and said lightly, "Let's drink some water first."

Shui Rong took the cup silently and drank it in one gulp, he could feel Shui Jian's concern.The queen frowned and said, "Rong'er, you're naughty and drinking again, wait for your father to come back, see if he can give you a good beating."

Shui Chi hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, please calm down, Erchen and Brother Rong met a foreign friend yesterday, everyone talked about it, and they drank a few more glasses before they knew it, so don't dare to do it next time, don't blame Brother Rong."

The queen rolled her eyes at Shui Chi, she knew that Shui Chi was very talented, but drinking would hurt her health, so she never allowed Shui Chi to drink, "I hope there will be a next time, both of you should be easy to fight. "

Shui Chi said anxiously: "Mother, after returning to the palace, you will slowly train us and punish us. No matter how you punish our son, you will not complain, but at this moment, please talk about the little junior sister first."

The queen nodded and said: "Forget it, let me tell you about Yu'er first, so that you won't be so anxious."

Shui Chi helped the queen to sit down, the queen drank a cup of tea, and said lightly: "Yu'er said that she has been poisoned for many years, and Daoist Sanqing also detoxified her, but the remaining poison is too deep, Daoist Sanqing He said that it would take seven or eight years to get rid of all of them. Thanks to Master Hongguang's profound magical powers, he managed to put all the poison on Yu'er's body to himself, and Yu'er was able to escape."

Hearing this, Shui Chi frowned and asked, "Young junior sister was poisoned after arriving at Jia's house?"

The queen nodded and said, "That's natural. You, Mr. Lin and your teacher's wife, only have a heart like Yu'er, and Yu'er won't be poisoned by their side."

Shui Rong yelled angrily: "What a vicious Jia family, it seems that we are too polite to the Jia family, cousin, this time when we return to Beijing, we will try the case of the Jia family, we must copy their family. "

Shui Chi was so angry that he clenched his teeth, his eyes widened, and his fists were clenched tightly. Seeing this, the queen got up and put her hands on Shui Chi's shoulders, and said softly: "Chi'er, the queen mother knows what you want, but the Jia family has a large population. , It’s not easy to find out who poisoned you, you can’t mess yourself up, let your anger return to your anger, and your mind can’t be messed up.”

Shui Chi suppressed his anger, turned around and said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I understand." Shui Rong got up and stood beside Shui Chi, and said angrily, "Cousin, let me help you investigate."

Shui Chi nodded, held Shui Rong's hand and said, "Okay, let's investigate together."

The queen looked at the two brothers with a smile, nodded and said: "Brothers are of the same mind and want to cut gold, it's very good of you."

Shui Chi let go of Shui Rong's hand, looked at the queen and asked the queen mother, what kind of poison did the little junior sister get, and would Master Hongguang be in danger? The Queen shook her head and said, "This poison is very strange, and Venerable Hongguang didn't know it. Although the Venerable Master told him that the poison would not harm his health, I looked at him with a bad face." "

After hearing this, Shui Chi sighed softly and said, "Queen Mother, how is little junior sister?"

"Yu'er is fine, but her body is a little weak, and she will be fine after a few days of care. The mage said she'd better stay in bed and rest, and it's not convenient for you to see her." The queen knew her son's intentions, so she said in detail.

Shui Chi nodded, and said: "Mother, my son is going to see Master Hongguang."

The queen nodded and smiled, "That's right."

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Cousin, I'll go with you." Shui Chi nodded, and left the other courtyard with Shui Rong, and went to Qingtai Temple to find Master Hongguang.

Ever since master Hongguang introduced the poison from Daiyu's body into his own body, he has been doing detoxification meditation in the meditation room.When the water boiled and the water melted, Master Hongguang forced out some more toxins, and he just finished his work.Hearing Shui Chi's polite knock on the door, Master Hongguang smiled slightly, got off the Zen bed, walked to the door and opened the door, Ji Shou said with a light smile: "Lao Na has met His Royal Highness, the prince of Beijing."

Shui Chi saw that Master Hongguang looked dull and gloomy, and knew that he was hurt, so he tore the skirt of his clothes violently, and Shui Chi knelt down on his knees with a plop, and said sincerely, "Master Shui Chi, thank you for saving my junior sister." He knelt down and said the same thing as Shuiqi.

Master Hongguang smiled with his beard, held Shuiji in one hand and Shuirong in the other, pulled the two of them up, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yu'er is an old friend of Lao Na, and it is Lao Na's job to save her, His Royal Highness He Shizi doesn't need to thank you."

Shui Chi shook his head and said: "It was our responsibility to take care of Junior Sister. We were too careless to know that Junior Sister was poisoned. Now that Master has saved her, it is like saving Shui Chi. This life-saving grace is Shui Chi. Be sure to come and thank you."

Master Hongguang nodded and said, "Okay, Lao Na is thanked by the Crown Prince. Lao Na also has something to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Shui Chi hurriedly said: "Master, please tell me that no matter what it is, Shui Chi will try his best to do it."

Master Hongguang said with a smile: "Xiao Yu'er has a peculiar fate. She will experience some things that ordinary women will not experience in the future. Lao Na hopes that no matter what the situation is, you will protect her and don't let her get hurt."

Shui Chi looked at Master Hongguang's loving eyes with emotion, and said decisively: "Master, please rest assured, Shui Chi swears on the honor of the Shui family, even if he sacrifices his own life, he must protect the junior sister."

Master Hongguang nodded, and said softly: "Once the crown prince speaks, Lao Na can rest assured. Lao Na will die soon, and after Lao Na is gone, Xiao Yuer will entrust His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Shui Chi asked in surprise, "Master, is this poison so severe?"

Master Hongguang smiled and said: "That's not true. Human life has its own destiny. Lao Na's life is almost exhausted. It has nothing to do with poison."

Shui Rong said urgently: "Master, we have the elixir to prolong life, and we will send it to you to take later."

Master Hongguang laughed and said: "No need, Lao Na has enough merits and virtues, it is a blessing to be able to reach the bliss early, you two don't have to worry about Lao Na. But Xiao Yuer, you need to persuade her, she will definitely regard Lao Na as a It's my fault, I have to explain it to her more in the future."

Shui Chi nodded and said: "Master, don't worry, Shui Chi will take your words to heart."

Master Hongguang said with a smile: "That's good, the prince came for the assassin, so Lao Na is worth staying, please go."

Shui Chi Shui Rong bowed to leave, the two left the meditation room together, their hearts were very heavy, and they walked all the way back to the other courtyard, neither of them spoke.

Seeing Shui Chi Shui Rong returning with a dignified expression, the queen asked softly, "Is Master feeling better?"

Shui Chi shook his head and said, "Master looks very bad, and my son feels very sorry."

The queen nodded, and said: "The queen mother is also in a bad mood. Although it is for Yu'er, if the master loses his life, I am afraid that Yu'er will not feel at ease. No matter what, we must detoxify the master. Chi'er , you want to try the case of Jia’s family, and you can’t get out, Rong’er, why don’t you just search for the antidote for me, no matter what the cost, we must find the antidote for Master.”

Shui Rong nodded without hesitation and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, even if Shui Rong has traveled all over the world, he is still looking for the elixir to detoxify Master."

The queen smiled gratifiedly and said, "Good boy, my aunt saw you right."

Shui Rong looked at Shui Chi, then turned to look at the Queen and said, "Auntie, Rong'er is leaving now to find the elixir. Before leaving, can I bid farewell to my junior sister?"

Shui Chi and Shui Rong grew up together, and the two of them could wear a pair of trousers, so they naturally understood the meaning of Shui Rong's glance at him, so he said loudly: "Brother Rong, don't worry, since we have agreed to be a gentleman, I will keep my word. "

Shui Rong nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you."

The queen said with a smile: "Yu'er is still in bed now, she doesn't know about the master yet, Rong'er, don't tell her yet." Shui Rong nodded and said: "Don't worry, Auntie, Shui Rong won't tell the truth."

The queen nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, you go and say goodbye to Yu'er, Rong'er, you have to be careful yourself, pay attention to safety, go early and return early, we are all waiting for your good news."

Shui Chi untied the soft sword from his waist, tied it around Shui Rong's body, patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "I know you've wanted a silver dragon for a long time, and now I'll give you the silver dragon for self-defense. Be brave and fight hard, come back quickly."

Shui Rong touched the silver dragon soft sword as smooth as jade, and smiled happily: "Don't worry, auntie and cousin, I, Shui Rong, have always been blessed. Maybe the antidote is waiting for me, and maybe it's ready to grab."

The queen slapped Shui Rong, laughed and scolded: "You're talking too much, go and resign Yu'er, go and come back early, time waits for no one."

Shui Rong caressed the silver dragon, and hurried to find Daiyu.Daiyu was half leaning on the pillow and closed her eyes to rest her mind, when Shui Rong walked in, seeing Daiyu's eyes slightly closed, she shook her hand, not to let Yingxialan's heart disturb Daiyu.But Daiyu has always been sensitive, she sensed Qi Chirong as soon as she entered the door, so she opened her eyes and saw that it was Water Rong, she couldn't help asking in amazement: "Senior Brother Rong, why are you here?"

Shui Rong patted his head and smiled, "I heard that there are assassins, so I came here to take a look, little junior sister, are you alright?"

Daiyu said with a slight smile, "Yu'er is fine, please worry about Senior Brother Rong."

Shui Rong nodded and said: "Junior Junior Sister, my aunt has sent me on an errand, I'm going to leave the capital for a while, and I'm here to say goodbye to you." Daiyu tilted her head and said, "Where are you going?"

Shui Rong chuckled and said: "It's not sure, it depends on the situation. Junior sister, when you return to the capital, don't just stay at home and study, your body is weak, it's all because of less activity, and you will get better if you move around more. Concubine Mu's health is much better, you can go to Beijing Palace to play when you feel energetic, Concubine Mu misses you very much."

Daiyu nodded and said: "Okay, when Yu'er is better, I will go to see the princess."

Shui Rong thought for a while and said, "Yu'er, what do you want to play? Just tell me, I'll find it for you."

Daiyu smiled and said, "But I don't have anything to play with. Brother Rong, you have to be more careful when you are away than at home. I wish you a smooth journey and come back soon."

This is the first time for Daiyu to say something caring to Shui Rong, and Shui Rong keeps nodding her head in joy, but is so happy that she can't even speak.Just looking at Daiyu and giggling.Daiyu was ashamed by him, turned her body to one side, her back was facing Shui Rong.Lan Xin was familiar with Shui Rong, so she said with a smile: "My lord, I have already resigned, please do it yourself."

Shui Rong only let out a groan, but before she recovered, Lan Xin Yingxia pursed her lips and smiled, Daiyu suddenly remembered something, and said softly: "Brother Rong, if you can see my brother this time, you must remember Greet him for me, and remind him to take care of his body while being diligent in political affairs."

Shui Rong hurriedly agreed, and Daiyu lay face inside, and said softly: "Lan Xin, send Senior Brother Rong for me."

Lan Xinying claimed it was, walked up to Shui Rong and stretched out her hand, "Please, my son."

Shui Rong let out a cry, and walked out with some regret.After resigning from the Queen and Shui Chi, and receiving the Queen's strict instructions, Shui Rong started the journey of searching for the antidote with full care.

Shui Chi stayed with Empress Daiyu in the other courtyard for another day, and did not return to the palace until Daiyu was almost healthy.As soon as Daiyu was able to get out of bed, she went to see Master Hongguang. Lan Xinyingxia helped Daiyu to the outside of Master Hongguang's meditation room, but Master Hongguang didn't see her. I have something to do every day, so I can't see you, I will go to your house to visit you in a few days."

Daiyu Huizhi Lanxin couldn't figure out why Master Hongguang didn't see her, so she pushed Yingxia Lanxin away, knelt on her knees outside the meditation room, kowtowed three times respectfully, and sobbed softly: "Master Uncle, Goodbye, Yu'er."

Master Hongguang smiled heartily: "Little Yu'er has grown into a big girl, and she still loves to cry, just like when you were a child. Good boy, if you read the Buddhist scriptures I gave you carefully, Uncle Master will feel relieved."

Daiyu hurriedly responded: "Yu'er will remember the master's uncle's instructions."

Master Hongguang smiled and said: "Well, this is a good boy, you can go down the mountain."

Lan Xin Yingxia came to help Daiyu, but Daiyu shook her head and pushed the two away. She knelt outside the meditation room for a quarter of an hour, praying silently in her heart, and slowly stood up after praying.Daiyu's body is weak, her legs are numb and her feet are sore after kneeling for so long, she will fall if she bends, Lan Xinyingxia rushed forward to help her up, but the water was brewed faster than the two of them, like lightning General rushes to Daiyu's side, catches Daiyu's body that is about to fall with one arm.

Shui Chi's arms were strong and powerful, supporting Daiyu's slender waist, his upper body leaned forward, almost touching Daiyu's body, his eyes fixedly saw Daiyu's.There was a fire on Daiyu's face, she hurriedly pushed the water to boil, turned around and stretched out her hand to Lan Xin and shouted coquettishly: "Lan Xin..."

Lan Xin hurriedly supported Daiyu, Daiyu leaned on Lan Xin, she didn't dare to look at Shui Chi, she had never been so close to that man before, she was so ashamed that she blushed and tears rolled down her face.

The queen saw all this in her eyes, she couldn't help shaking her head and laughing and thought to herself: This silly boy has quick eyes and quick hands, but this hand is too fast, and I will annoy Yu'er later, let's see how you end up.

Before the soft and intoxicating feeling in his arms dissipated, Shuiqi was pushed away by Daiyu. At this moment, he lost all his sensitivity just now, and just stood there in a daze, reminiscing about the feeling he had never felt before. Feel.

Daiyu leaned on Lan Xin's shoulders, weeping silently because of her grievances. Seeing that the situation was wrong, the queen could no longer watch the play aside, so she stepped forward and hugged Daiyu into her arms and said with a smile: "It's all because it's not good to make children, auntie Turn around and punish her severely for venting her anger on Yu'er, good Yu'er, don't cry!" Daiyu just felt that she couldn't accept this kind of contact for a while, but she was not an unreasonable person, she knew that the purpose of water brewing was to support her, and she didn't mean to be abrupt With red eyes, he shook his head and said, "Auntie, don't blame Senior Brother Chi, don't punish him."

The queen smiled happily after hearing this: "What a good boy, Yu'er, let's go home and ignore that brat." Shui Chi's heart exploded with joy when Daiyu softly said that she didn't blame herself. After opening, he faced Daiyu with a busy smile, and bowed deeply: "Thank you, little junior sister, for your generous amount."

Daiyu blushed with embarrassment, hid herself in the empress' arms, and said softly, "Auntie, let's go quickly."

Because Daiyu hadn't completely recovered, the queen and her party didn't move fast. While still on the road, Shui Chi ordered Feng Ziying to rush back to Zongzheng Temple with his own warrant, and secretly interrogated Jia Wang.After Shui Chi escorted Empress Daiyu back to the capital, she immediately rushed to Zongzheng Temple. After hearing Feng Ziying's reply, Shui Chi said in a deep voice, "This Jia Wang family is very hard-spoken, and she dares to deny the fact that the evidence is as solid as a mountain." Trick, hmph, I'll interrogate her myself."

Feng Ziying brought Mrs. Wang to interrogation, but never tortured her. Mrs. Wang still thought that she had a daughter who was a concubine, and she was so arrogant to Feng Ziying, which made Feng Ziying half dead. If it weren't for Mrs. Wang's special status, she would have been easy to beat. .

Mrs. Wang was thinking about something in the prison, when suddenly she heard the head of the cell shout: "The crown prince has been promoted, and Jia Wang's family will be interrogated."

Mrs. Wang's heart trembled, she said to herself: "The crown prince's trial, is this a blessing or a curse?"

Two yamen servants brought Mrs. Wang to the hall. Madam Wang looked around and saw that the two classes of yamen servants were the prince's guards.Mrs. Wang was a little terrified at first, and stood tremblingly in the hall, not knowing what to do.

The crown prince patted the gavel and shouted: "Bold Mrs. Jia, how dare you not kneel when seeing this crown prince?"

The guards on both sides held water and fire sticks and shouted: "Kneel down..."

Mrs. Wang thought for a while, and knelt down reluctantly. The person in the hall is the prince, not an ordinary person, so it is reasonable for her to kneel.

"Mr. Jia Wang, don't tell the truth about your poisoning and murder of County Lord Lin!" Shui Chi patted the gavel again, and shouted loudly, which shocked Mrs. Wang's liver and gallbladder. She raised her head and stared wide-eyed in astonishment. Looking at Shui Chi, he exclaimed tremblingly: "No, the concubine did not poison her."

Shui Chi saw Mrs. Wang's reaction in his eyes, he felt a little bit more confident, he was not in a hurry, leaned back on the chair, and said lightly: "Ziying, is there any wife in the prison of Zongzheng Temple? "

Feng Ziying understood, stepped forward and shouted: "The bold offender, Mrs. Jia Wang, dares to rely on her identity, come here, and give this offender some rules." Mrs. Wang was frightened, and hurriedly kowtowed: "I don't dare."

Two guards strode forward, one cut Mrs. Wang's hands backwards, and the other slapped Mrs. Wang across the face, hitting Mrs. Wang crying and screaming.It took dozens of slaps and water to signal him to stop.

Mrs. Wang's face was already swollen from the beating, and she shouted indistinctly: "Prince, at least look at the face of the imperial concubine, you hold your hands high..."

Shui Chi sneered and said, "Mr. Jia Wang, can you plead guilty?"

Mrs. Wang insisted and shouted: "I am innocent."

The water is not in a hurry, he knocked on the testimony of the water, and said with a smile: "Could it be that the prince of Beijing made a false accusation against you? Jia Wang, it seems that you will definitely not confess without punishment..."

Mrs. Wang was terrified, and hurriedly shouted: "I am the mother of the imperial concubine, you can't torture me!"

Shui Chi snorted coldly, threw the stick on the ground, and shouted: "Jia Wang's eyes are not respected, first hit forty big boards."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang rushed forward like crazy to grab the stick. Feng Ziying bent down and snatched the stick, and shouted: "Pull it down, hit!"

Mrs. Wang cried and shouted, but how could she survive the wolf-like guards, she was quickly dragged down, only the crackling sound could be heard, followed by Mrs. Wang's high and low cries .After finishing playing forty boards, Mrs. Wang only felt pain like being scratched by a knife, but her mind was abnormally clear, and she couldn't faint even if she wanted to.She was dragged to the hall, and Shui Chi asked coldly, "Are you recruiting?"

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and said: "Since Linxian came to Jia's mansion, no one in our Jia family has given her up. Why don't we do her best first. She doesn't think of us, but falsely accuses us. Is there any justice? "

Shui Chi sneered and said: "Mr. Jia, you have a sharp tongue. Come here and present the account books of the Rongguo Mansion. This king wants to see how you, the housekeeper of the Jia Mansion, enshrine County Lord Lin! "

After Madam Wang heard what she said, her heart turned cold, and she collapsed on the ground. Over the years, she asked Sister Feng to deduct Daiyu's expenses, and Sister Feng had to do so, and they all entered the account one by one.As for Daiyu's daily lack of anything, it was secretly given to Daiyu by Sister Feng in private, and it was not included in the public account, but Mrs. Wang didn't know it.

Seeing the thick account book, Mrs. Wang hurriedly shouted: "County Master Lin's expenses are specially allocated by the old lady, and they are not included in the official account book."

Shui Chi said with a faint smile: "In that case, I would like to invite Mrs. Shi Tai to testify in front of the hall."

Mrs. Wang's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect that the crown prince would even pass on the message to Jia's mother, so she hurriedly said: "Our old lady loves her granddaughter, and she is always close to County Lord Lin. No one in the two mansions knows it. If His Royal Highness doesn't believe it , you can tell County Lord Lin to come to confront you in court." Shui Chi said coldly: "You have poisoned County Lord Lin and is now sick in bed, of course you dare to say that."

When Mrs. Wang heard that Daiyu was bedridden with poisonous hair, she couldn't help being overjoyed. Shui Chi keenly caught the flash of joy in his eyes. Jia Wang's family is in jail pending trial, Ziying, take people to Rongguo Mansion to search Jia Zheng's house."

When Wang Fu heard that his house was going to be searched, he rushed forward in fright and shouted: "I am ordered by the emperor, how can His Royal Highness abuse me like this, what is the law of heaven and what is the law?"
