No correction

The old prince was like a ghost, as if he was teaching a slave a lesson.

The slave Wu Jiu recognized that it was Shi Su who risked his life to sue Wu Jiu yesterday!

Shi Sui fell to the ground, seemed to have lost consciousness, passed out, his back was hurt, and his face was covered with bruised wounds.

It turned out that last night, because of the scandal of the princess, Hu Qi suffered from being dumb and lost his temper. In the end, he scolded Prince Tui, who stabbed him in the back. Looking for a bone to vent my anger on.

The prince searched and found out that someone had revealed the matter of drugging Marquis Qi, so he was discovered. So the prince was furious, and offered a huge reward to ask who revealed it. More than 2000 cooks in the dining room were executed together, as well as the eunuchs in the palace and eunuchs who were exposed to alcohol at the banquet.

For a while, people in the palace were in a state of panic. They didn't know what happened, but there were still thousands of people who were about to be executed suddenly. As a result, Shi Suu took the initiative to stand up at this time, admitting that he had revealed the news to Prince Qi.

Prince Tui was naturally furious, and even found a hidden place to beat Shi Suu, trying to beat him to death.

But the prince did not expect that many special envoys would leave the palace and go back to the post house early this morning. The place where the carriages and horses were parked was already remote, and they happened to be passing by there, but they were overheard by everyone.

Seeing Shi Su who had passed out, Wu Jiu was startled, frowned and said, "Why is this, Prince, torturing people like this?"

The prince smiled coldly and said, "People? Who? There is only one slave of low birth here. How can there be anyone?"

Wu Jiu only smiled when he heard this, and said: "Speaking of background, how can the prince have the nerve to use fifty steps to laugh at others' hundred steps?"

The prince snorted coldly and said, "What do you mean?!"

Qihou walked over from the side, and said coldly: "What do you mean? The meaning is already obvious. I thought the prince was born smart, so he must be able to understand clearly. Do you need to find out? I'm afraid the prince's face is not bright. stop?"

There were many special envoys from various countries around, all of them were shrewd people, and they understood everything when they heard it. Although Wu Jiu and Qihou didn't pick it up, everyone knew the truth. Wang Zitui said that Shi Su was a person of low status. The identity of the decadent is also a point of criticism. His mother is the daughter of a merchant, and she was going to marry Wu Jiu, but later because the merchant was greedy for the status of the former king, she remarried her daughter to the former king.

Many people know this story, and it was talked about for a long time at that time, so speaking of it, Wang Zitui's mother status is very low, and Wang Zitui is a bastard son, not the eldest son, so she has no status at all.

Prince Tui's expression turned pale immediately, and he sneered and said, "Everyone is a visitor to Master Luo, but today, Tui needs to teach the cook who has committed a mistake, and has nothing to do with you, please stay away!"

The prince said very bluntly, and the special envoys beside him were all people with status in the country, how could a little boy be ridiculed, Wu Jiao immediately said: "Teach people, you should have a reputation, the late king just passed away , The new emperor pardoned the world with propriety, but the prince treated people so violently, I am afraid that he will not be famous, he will not be able to convince the public, and it will cause the people all over the world to fear the Zhou Dynasty and the new emperor."

Prince Tui's complexion was very bad, because of this matter, he had to mention the matter of the princess last night. If he mentioned the matter of the prince's daughter last night, he also had to mention the matter of Prince Tui's plan to let the emperor of Zhou drug the Marquis of Qi. This series of events revealed When I got up, I lost my head, which is really ugly.

There are so many people watching here, someone has already notified the new emperor Hu Qi, Hu Qi was frightened last night, just got up, before washing up, he heard about the prince's troubles, he was angry and shocked, afraid of the prince's collapse Shaking himself out, he ran over in a hurry.

When Hu Qi rushed over, the crowd was still confronting each other, Wu Jiao asked Wang Zitui to give a name, but Wang Zitui had an ugly face and could only say nothing.

As soon as Hu Qi came, he immediately scolded the prince and said: "How can you be so cruel at such a young age! Even if the cook makes a mistake, he can't beat him like this. I really lost my Zhou Dynasty demeanor, and I am still here to embarrass the widow. , Hurry up to accompany the adults, and then go back and reflect."

Prince Tui was scolded by Hu Qi in front of everyone, but he has no power and really can't talk back. If the matter of Zhou Tianzi drugging was exposed, Hu Qi would definitely deny it and put the matter on the prince. decadent head.

Wang Zitui resisted and said nothing, but his face was quite ugly. Hu Qi asked him to apologize to everyone, so Wang Zitui had no choice but to bite the bullet and apologize to everyone.

When the envoys of the other princes received the prince's apology, they felt that their backs were very straight, and they were all complacent about taking advantage of it, so they responded with a smile, "The prince is still young, so if you know your mistakes, you can correct them."

Hu Qi said in person: "You disturbed Duke Qi, son and all the special envoys, I will definitely teach you about the matter of the younger brother."

Wu Jiu clasped his fists and said, "Son of Heaven, Jiu and this cook are very predestined, why don't you give this cook to Jiu?"

It was nothing more than a cook, of course Hu Qi was willing, so he generously rewarded Shi Su to Wu Jiu immediately, and Wu Jiu hurriedly asked someone to help Shi Su who was unconscious, and prepared to take him to the car and take him back to the post for treatment.

Wu Jiu personally supported Shi Su, his robe was stained with some blood, he is usually a clean person, Qi Hou saw it in his eyes, and felt sore in his heart.

When getting into the car, Wu Jiu planned to take Shi Su to another car, but Qihou could not allow it, saying: "Shi Su is seriously injured, I'm afraid that my second brother won't be able to take care of me alone, so I'd better ride with Gu. Forget it, you can take care of more than one.”

Wu Jiu was actually afraid that his blood would attack Qi Hou, but after Qi Hou opened his mouth, Wu Jiu asked someone to help Shi Su into Qi Hou's chariot.

The three of them were in the car, and Shi Su was still in a coma. Qihou first took out the wound medicine, sprinkled a layer of hemostatic medicine on Shi Su's back and face, and then wrapped it with a clean veil. Clean and crisp.

Wu Jiu said cautiously: "Your Majesty, is Shi Su alright?"

Qi Hou smiled and said: "Who knows, it depends on his good fortune. If an ordinary person suffers such a serious injury, he will be disabled even if he doesn't die. But Shi Su's health is not bad, maybe he is better."

Hearing this, Wu Jiu felt his scalp go numb, and Shi Su's back and face were torn apart from the whips that had been stabbed by the nails, let alone leaving scars, it is better not to leave a disability.

The carriage quickly arrived at the gate of the post house. The eunuch had already returned to convey the message, and the medical officer greeted him at the door. He hurriedly took the seriously injured stone from the carriage, and hurriedly carried him into the post house for treatment.

Wu Jiu didn't know medical skills either, so he had to go back and change his clothes. Ziqing and Yan'e were startled when they saw blood on Wu Jiu's clothes. Yan'e said while changing Wu Jiu's clothes, "This prince , at such a young age, it's hard to imagine how he could be so ruthless."

Wu corrected a change of clothes, went out in a hurry, and went to Shi Su's room to check the situation. The medical officer just took care of the wound. Fortunately, it was all skin trauma, but the skin trauma was very deep, and some places were nailed. The thorn scratched repeatedly, and the bone was already scratched, which was really bloody.

Shi Su lay on the couch, his back was heavily bandaged, his cheeks were also bandaged, and he had a cold and handsome face, swollen and high.

Seeing Wu Jiu coming in, Shi Su hurriedly struggled to get up, and wanted to thank Wu Jiu, but Wu Jiu stopped him and said, "Lie down well, I'm the one to thank you, if you didn't come to tell me last night, Qi State would have to leave." It’s what I should do to make you suffer because of this incident.”

Wu Jiu said again: "The Son of Heaven has given you to me, and you will follow me in the future. You don't have to go back to the palace, you can just rest in peace and heal your wounds."

Shi Su was a little surprised, and immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you, sir, for saving your life!"

At this time, Qihou also came in from the outside, his clothes were also stained with blood, and now he changed into new casual clothes instead of court clothes, he looked a little easy-going, but he still couldn't hide his coldness And sharp feeling.

Both Qihou and Shi Su looked cold, but they were different. Shi Su was like a rock, unsmiling, always serious and serious, while Qi Hou, like a piece of old ginger, looked cold, but he was always serious. He can be gentle like water, just when you think he is gentle like water, sometimes he can turn into a furious thunder, in short, it is unpredictable.

Qihou walked in with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Why, only thank you, Young Master, and not Gu?"

As soon as Shi Su saw Qihou, he quickly knelt down to thank him again, almost shattering the wound on his back. Wu Jiao looked terrified, and Qihou smiled and stretched out his hand to stop him, saying: "I'm just joking with you, the princess last night For the matter, you still have kindness and loneliness, so you can live and heal your wounds."

Shi Su seemed to be very grateful, but his face was as cold and hard as a stone, he was really paralyzed, and he couldn't tell.

At this time, I heard Qihou say again: "That's it..."

Wu Jiu didn't know what Qihou was going to say, but looking at Qihou's scheming face, he always felt that it was not a good thing, as if he was trying to play tricks on Shi Suu.

Qi Hou immediately clapped his hands, and said with great interest: "I see that you are a tough guy, and your temper is very similar to that of my old Qi."

Shi Su said: "Su is indeed from Qi, but he was exiled to the Zhou Dynasty."

When Qihou heard this, he was even more happy, smiled, and said: "That would be even better, you are so loyal, it is rare in the world, and you are very lonely, just like what the second brother said, it is really fate, Why don't you just accept you as a adopted son, okay?"

Wu Jiu: "..."

Wu Jiu thought to himself, Qihou is not only a prostitute who is addicted to accepting adopted daughters, but now he is also addicted to accepting adopted sons.

Qihou is 30 years old, and Shi Suu looks like he is in his twenties. He doesn't look like his father at all. In addition, Shi Suu is tall and has a tough face. He looks like two brothers. It is strange to accept him as a foster son.

Shi Su was also taken aback for a moment, and quickly said: "Su was born in a humble and lowly background. I am grateful to the king for his help, but he never dared to climb up."

Qi Hou said with a smile: "If you give others benefits alone, others can't wait to kneel down to thank you. If you kneel down and refuse to give you benefits today, then you will be more related to Gu Yan. So it's settled. From today on, you will It's not Shi Su, the cook, but my son Su."

Wu Jiu stood aside, still a little powerless, for some reason, Marquis Qi suddenly became enthusiastic about these things, and Wu Jiu suddenly had a nephew in his twenties, and he always felt a lot of pressure.

Qi Hou was smiling, with a calculating face, Shi Su seemed to be moved, kowtowed quickly, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Qihou said with a smile, "You should be called Father Jun."

He said, pointing to Wu Jiu who was beside him and said, "Young Master Jiu is the second elder brother who is alone, you can call him Second Uncle in the future."

Shi Su was very sincere, quickly bowed his head and said, "Second Uncle."

In an instant, Wu Jiu felt that he was called out to be a lot older, and the pressure was really not small...

Qihou seemed to be very satisfied with the result, and said with a loving face: "Su'er likes to give birth to health, Gu and your second uncle will not bother you, if you have anything to do, just tell the palace servants, if there is anything wrong, If you want, just send someone to find Gu, your second uncle is not in good health, so don't bother him."

Shi Su didn't understand Qi Hou's deep meaning, just nodded and said: "Yes, Jun... Father Jun."

Wu Jiu was already unable to complain, he really didn't like others calling him uncle, because Wu Jiao felt that he was not so old at all.

Wu Jiu and Qi Hou retreated from Shi Su's room and let Shi Su take a good rest. Just as Wu Jiu was about to leave, he sneezed again, covered it with his sleeve, and turned his head away.

Qihou frowned and said, "Second brother must have caught the wind and cold last night. Fortunately, nothing happened today. Hurry up and have a good rest. I'll let the medical officer go and show you."

Wu Jiu thought it was just a small cold, and two sneezes would be enough, but Qi Houfei asked the medical officer to come over, as if he was very gentle and considerate.

Wu Jiu went back to the room, and Qi Hou followed him into the room. The medical officer hurried over to ask for pulse, and showed Wu Jiu what was going on. Being underdeveloped, Wu Jiu's body was a little old and sick, and he slept on a mat in winter, so he naturally caught a cold.

The medical officer prescribed some medicine for Wu Jiu, and he will be fine after two days of drinking.

There is nothing to do today, and I will wait for the funeral for the late king. After the funeral, there will be a banquet. Qihou has already made Lu and Wei look bad at the first special envoy banquet. For the second banquet, he plans to No one in the Song Dynasty came to speak for the funeral of the former king, and won the first place in the Daitianzihui League.

With such a plan in mind, Marquis Qi asked Wu Jiao to take the medicine well, and went back to his room to think about it.

Wu Jiao had nothing to do, so he rested in his room, took medicine, and slept for a while, but his lunch was delayed, and it was already afternoon when he woke up.

When Wu Jiao woke up, he felt his head was heavy and his throat was sore. After taking the medicine for his cold, his cold got worse and he lost his appetite, so he fell asleep again.

Wu Jiu was in the room for the past two days, barely moving around, taking medicine, his cold was not getting better, and it was getting worse. At first, he was sneezing, but later his nose was no longer blocked, and he stopped sneezing, but his heart was blocked. I often cough, and when I cough, there are small pink bloodshots.

Wu Jiao was a little frightened, and the medical officer came to see him again, and he still said that he had a cold, which was serious, so he adjusted the prescription.

Waking up this day, Wu Jiu felt even worse, with a splitting headache and drowsiness. Seeing that Wu Jiu had woken up, Yan E came in and asked, "My lord, are you feeling better?"

Wu Jiu was a little lethargic, speaking weakly, and said, "It's still the same."

Upon hearing this, Yan'e said, "The maidservant should go back to the king."

Wu Jiu said, "What's going on?"

Yan'e said: "Your Majesty said early this morning that he wanted to eat pancakes made by Young Master, and asked Young Master if he is feeling better."

When Wu Jiao heard it, it turned out that Marquis Qi was sick again. Although he was not in good health, it was just a simple cold, and it was nothing. I didn't even move around much, so I just went to the dining room and made a pancake, which only took a while.

Ziqing and Yan'e waited on Wu Jiu to wash, put on his clothes, and tidy up everything before they went to the dining room. Because it was still early, there were no cooks in the dining room, so it was a bit deserted.

Qi Hou got up very early today, woke up when the sky was still gray, and couldn't fall asleep. The reason is that he missed Wu Jiao's craftsmanship, and suddenly wanted to eat big pancakes for breakfast. .

Marquis Qi simply got up, and the eunuch came in to serve him. This eunuch was the eunuch that Hu Qi gave to Marquis Qi that day. As for the tune, he is very good at imitating it.

The eunuch was on the black car that day, Qihou hugged him and called his second brother, he was so frightened that the eunuch seemed to understand something, these days, he started to imitate Wu Jiu in his actions and words, not to mention, at least one They are similar to each other, except that Wu Jiu's tone is always cold and cheerless, and the eunuch wants to please Qihou, so he is a bit nondescript.

When Qihou got up, the eunuch knelt on the ground and dressed Qihou with "hands and feet", wishing he could hug Qihou's thigh. His attitude was attentive and charming, even more charming than a woman.

Qi Hou took a cold look at the eunuch, but ignored him. The eunuch was still not discouraged, and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, I will serve you to tie your hair."

Qihou glanced at him, and the eunuch thought that Qihou had finally taken a fancy to him, so he immediately looked shy, lowered his head a little, and gave Qihou a glance.

Qihou just said lightly: "Is your voice bad? Got a chicken feather?"

The eunuch's face froze, and he coughed immediately, knowing that he had exerted too much force, he quickly said, "No...not, Your Majesty."

Qihou sneered, turned around, stretched out his hand to pinch the eunuch's chin, the eunuch's heart was shaken suddenly, his face was flushed, and he said: "Your Majesty..."

Qi Hou looked around, looked around carefully, and said: "This body is too thin, holding his diaphragm, his face is not very good, his nose bridge is not high enough, his eyes are not charming enough, his lips are not good enough. ... not soft enough, go back and tell the emperor that you don't have much appetite for peace."

The eunuch was still flustered, but after being judged, his face turned pale immediately. He was originally an actor, but later he came to serve the emperor, and even the emperor praised him, saying that he was beautiful and gentle, sensible and caring, but he didn't know it. Not a dime belittled by Qihou.

At this moment, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, Qihou let go of his hand and said, "Who is it?"

Yan'e's voice rang out impatiently, and she said through the door, "Your Majesty, it's Yan'e, the servant girl!"

When Qihou heard that it was Yan'e, he went over and opened the door himself, and said, "What's the matter?"

But Yan'e saw tears in his eyes, his eyes were red, and he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, my son...Young master fainted! Young master fainted in the dining room, and...he coughed up blood."

When Qihou heard it, he felt a "thump" in his heart, in the dining room?Isn't that because I said I want to eat pancakes?It turned out that Wu Jiu was not in good health, and even fainted and coughed up blood.

Qihou said: "What's going on? Has the medical officer gone?"

Yan'e cried and said: "The medical officer has seen it, and it is because the medical officer has seen it that the young master is unconscious, so the maidservant and Ziqing are a little bit clueless. Ziqing is taking care of the young master, and asked the maidservant to report to Mingjun. Young master, he... he is poisoned!"

"Poisoned?"

Qi Hou was startled, and Yan E said in a panic, "It's poisoning. The medical officer said it was poisoning. The servant girl has no idea, and the young master is unconscious. That's why I came to disturb the king."

Qi Hou felt a panic in his heart, stepped out of the door quickly, and said, "Come on, take Gu to have a look."

Yan'e trotted quickly to lead the way, and led Qihou to Wu Jiu's room.

As soon as he opened the door and bypassed the outer room, he saw Wu Jiao lying on the couch, his face was extremely haggard, white like silk, without a trace of blood, his lips were also lavender, lifeless .

Ziqing was waiting on the side. There were a few handkerchiefs on the desk, and there were sporadic bloodstains on them, which had turned from pink to bright red. Wu Jiuwu was in a coma, but he was still coughing and there were bloodstains. It flowed out from the corner of the mouth and slid down the neck, which was unusually dazzling.

Qihou hurriedly rushed over, stepped to the edge of the couch, grabbed the clean handkerchief beside him, quickly supported Wu Jiao's neck, turned sideways to prevent Wu Jiao from choking on the blood, and at the same time wiped away Wu Jiu's cough with the handkerchief. Bloodstains came out.

Wu Jiu just coughed, but he didn't intend to wake up. Qi Hou's face became gloomy, his voice was not loud, he was afraid of disturbing Wu Jiu, but he said in a very low and gloomy voice, "Where is the medical officer?"

The medical officer serving next to him hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your servant is here."

Qihou said in a low voice: "My lord, what's the matter? Have you seen it?"

The medical officer hurriedly said: "The young minister has already checked the son's pulse. This... This is a symptom of poisoning, and the symptoms of coughing up blood will only appear when the internal organs are injured."

Qi Hou said in a low voice: "It's not just typhoid fever? How could it be poisoned? Who poisoned it?!"

When he said this, the medical officer didn't dare to answer, so Qihou turned to Ziqing and said, "Your master's food, but you took care of it all by yourself?"

Ziqing hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your minister took care of it all. Meals and tea were all handled by me. You should die..."

Yan'e also quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the young master is served by Ziqing and the servant girl."

Ziqing glanced at Yan'e. Yan'e was obviously also afraid, kneeling on the ground, trembling a little, after all, she was still young.

Qihou's voice became a little louder, Wu Jiao seemed to wake up from a dream, and coughed several times, Qihou looked down and found that Wu Jiao had opened his eyes, he quickly supported him, and said, "Don't get up, hurry up!" Lie down well, the second brother is sick, so he needs to recuperate."

Wu Jiao's face was very weak, he opened his eyes and glanced at Qi Hou, then closed his eyes again, as if falling asleep, almost startled Qi Hou, but Wu Jiao didn't faint, but spoke with great difficulty : "It's not... about Ziqing and Yan'e."

Qihou listened to Wu Jiu defending those two people, but he couldn't refute Wu Jiu, so he said softly, "Yes, Gu also didn't want to punish them, second brother, rest at ease, don't think too much about the rest, everything is up to you. Let alone deal with it, okay?"

Qihou's voice was very gentle, and while speaking, he gently stroked Wu Jiao's forehead, the gentle palm temperature came from his cold head, Wu Jiao closed his eyes, and then nodded with some effort.

Qihou turned his head and said to Ziqing: "Young master's poisoning, I sent an order to investigate thoroughly. There are so many capable people around Gu, how could he be poisoned in the post house? Also, let the chief minister go into the palace and face the Son of Heaven, ask the Son of Heaven for an explanation."

Ziqing quickly said, "Yes, I'm going right away, Xiaochen."

Ziqing kowtowed, got up quickly and ran out.

After Qihou ordered these things in a dark manner, he said to the medical officer, "Prescribe medicine for the young master."

"Yes Yes."

The medical officer hurriedly ran to the outer room to prescribe the medicine. At this time, Qi Hou stood up and beckoned Yan E to serve Wu Jiu. Then he lifted up his clothes and walked gently to the outer room. The medical officer was prescribing the medicine. Hou came out and quickly bowed down to salute.

Qihou's face was very gloomy, and his voice was also cold, he said: "If I ask you alone, you should tell the truth... Is there any cure for the poison in the young master?"

Ziqing first ran to look for Gongsun Xipeng, the head of the company. Gongsun Xipeng was a little stunned when he heard it, and he was almost terrified. He quickly said, "Master...is your son poisoned?"

Ziqing said: "Yes, just now, I have been coughing up blood and have been unconscious for a while."

Gongsun Xipeng couldn't sit still when he heard that, so he ran over to take a look. Qihou personally ordered him to go to the palace to meet the emperor. The people of Qi State were poisoned in the posthouse. The Son of Heaven wants an explanation.

Gongsun Xipeng knew that the matter was serious, and immediately cupped his fists and said, "Xi Peng is going now!"

As he spoke, he strode out of the room and hurried back to change his clothes. He didn't want a carriage, so he got on the horse, urged the horse and ran to the palace.

Ziqing was busy for a while, just when the medical officer prescribed the medicine. The medical officer was ambiguous about Wu Jiuzhong's poison, because the dose of the poison in the medicine was not very large, and it might have been dosed in batches, so it would not be fatal. It can be guaranteed, but Wu Jiu's health is too bad, so if there is no direct antidote, the medical officer can only try the medicine, and after a long time, I don't know if it will make Wu Jiao suffer from the root cause of the disease.

Wu Jiu's health was not good at all, if he fell into this kind of root cause, any headache and brain fever would be fatal.

Ziqing couldn't help either, Qi Hou took care of Wu Jiu himself, and Yan'e was there to help, so Ziqing took the medicine and went to the pharmacy to decoct it himself.

Soon not only the people of Qi State in the post house, but also the special envoys of other countries in the post house knew that someone had the audacity to poison the prince of Qi State, and it was passed around. I don't know if it is true or not. If Wu Jiao failed, he might have been poisoned to death, that's why Marquis Qi was so angry.

Ziqing was decocting medicine in the pharmacy. He was sitting on the steps, looking at the little flame, a little dazed, and his heart was in a mess. It stands to reason that all Wu Jiu’s meals and tea drinks were things that he and Yan’e had handled. Moreover, the young master's taste is very good on weekdays, and he usually doesn't eat the food made by the dining room. He cooks it himself, and it is impossible for someone to poison the food.

For tea, the water is the same, but the dried flowers and dried fruits are prepared by the young master himself. If it is poisonous, everyone will be poisoned, but only the young master is poisoned.

Ziqing really couldn't figure out what else was different, how did the person with ulterior motives poison him, Qihou also sent people to investigate, but they couldn't find out after all.

Ziqing also surreptitiously overheard Qi Hou asking the medical officer whether the son could be saved, but the doctor's answer was ambiguous, if he could find the poisoner, he would be saved, if he couldn't find it, he could be saved, but his body collapsed Some, this is no different from being disabled.

After hearing this, Ziqing felt uncomfortable. In fact, he should feel comfortable. After all, in the past, when Ziqing was with the young master, he was abused by the young master. He had large and small scars on his arms. His screams, on the contrary, will feel very happy and happy, and when they see him crying miserably, they will laugh out loud.

Ziqing felt that if the young master was poisoned to death like this, maybe he would no longer have to do meticulous work, maybe he would be very happy, maybe he could return to Qihou to serve him and so on.

Ziqing thought about a lot, but the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. His life was short and not long, but no one was nice to him. There were only two people in total. One was for saving his life. The other one, Qihou, is the young master whom he half resents and half appreciates.

Ziqing didn't know that Wu Jiu was not the Lu Jiu who liked to abuse others, but he just thought that he had changed his mind after the battle of time and water, after all, he was a person who "died once", maybe he had a bit of enlightenment.

In short, he felt uncomfortable, sitting on the steps, hugging his knees and staring at the flames, his expression was not very good, someone came from behind, but Ziqing didn't hear it, and was still in a daze.

The man patted Ziqing on the shoulder, Ziqing was startled immediately, and turned his head abruptly, only to realize that it was Cao GUI. Cao GUI is different now, he is already a doctor, wearing an official robe, and looks tall He is also tough, and has a chic demeanor that others can't imitate.

Cao GUI came over, looked at Ziqing with a little surprise, and said, "You kid, are you crying?"

As he spoke, he pinched the tip of Ziqing's nose. Ziqing quickly dodged, wiped his face indiscriminately, and said, "Why are you here? This is a pharmacy. I'm afraid I'll offend you. Please go back."

Seeing that he was indifferent, Cao GUI was not angry. Instead, he stood beside Ziqing and said, "Let me inquire about the situation. There are rumors in the whole post house. Your majesty is guarding the son's room and sees no one. I I can't even see what the young man looks like."

Ziqing stood up, dusted off his robe, because Wu Jiao was a bit of a clean freak and liked to clean, so Ziqing washed his hands first, then went to pick up the medicine, covered it with a filter cloth, poured it into the medicine bowl, and said : "It's like that, a moment of coma, a moment of sobriety..."

While Ziqing was talking, Cao GUI suddenly came over and grabbed Ziqing's hand. Ziqing was so frightened that the medicine bowl fell to the ground with a "crack", half of the medicine bowl was spilled on the ground, and the medicine bowl also fell. A pulpy.

Ziqing immediately opened his eyes wide, and said in surprise, "What are you doing!?"

Cao GUI didn't speak, but pushed Ziqing away a little bit, frowned, and lost the cynical look of the past, lifted a corner of his robe, squatted down quickly, and stretched out his hand to push away the broken pieces of the medicine bowl, as if he was looking for something inside ...

Wu Jiu was ill for two days in a row, only Marquis Qi was by his side for two days, and no one else was seen. Although the medical officer saw him, he didn't let the medical officer go out, and stayed outside the room to serve at any time at night.

Ziqing and Yan'e were the only ones left to take care of the rest. Qihou returned to his room very late every day. The eunuch was very difficult to take care of. Know.

Some people said, I am afraid that the funeral of the son of Qi State can be held together with the former king. Gongsun Xipeng went to the palace twice. The emperor of Zhou just said that the thief who poisoned him would be severely punished, but the important thing is that none of them can catch the thief. Who was the poisonous thief? I don't know what method he used to poison Wu Jiu.

That day when Marquis Qi returned to the room, the eunuch waited on him with extra caution, but he was still scolded twice by Marquis Qi sneeringly. He turned off the bean lamp and retreated from the room.

It was already very late when the eunuch left the room. After all, it was already midnight when Qihou came back from Wujiao, plus washing and changing clothes, it might be dawn in a few hours.

After the eunuch withdrew, he didn't go back to his residence, but carefully looked left and right, but holding his clothes, he ran forward carefully, and ran to the pharmacy where the decoction was made.

The eunuch ran into the pharmacy, and began to look left and right again to make sure that there was really no one inside, and then he walked in quietly. The eunuch almost tripped over and couldn't see anything.

Hurry up and move forward more carefully. After walking in, I stood inside and paused for a while, then took out something from my bosom, and looked carefully, it turned out to be a filter cloth for filtering medicine residue.

The new Emperor Zhou likes luxury and beautiful things, so the post house was rebuilt to cater to Emperor Zhou, and even the filter cloth in the pharmacy was very finely crafted.

The eunuch quickly took out the filter cloth, then picked up the filter cloth on the table, put it in his arms, and replaced it with a new filter cloth.

The two filter cloths looked almost the same, but some of the replaced filter cloths were slightly yellowed, making them inconspicuous in the dark.

The eunuch replaced the filter cloth, heaved a sigh of relief, and then with a smug smile on his face, he patted himself on the chest, turned around and swaggered out of the prescription.

The eunuch walked out quickly, also very fast, but he was not as cautious as when he came in just now, but when he walked to the door of the pharmacy, he let out a heavy gasp of "Ho!!!", and was shocked back two times. Stepping forward, "Boom!" He tripped over the door frame and fell to the ground, his eyes widening in shock.

I saw that the pharmacy, which was still dark just now, was suddenly lit by torches. Ziqing and Yan'e, each holding a bean lamp, walked over surrounded by a man in a moon-white shirt.

The man was dressed in a moon-white shirt, with a four-finger-wide white jade belt around his waist and a jade crown on his head. With a light pink color, the whole face looks very energetic, without any morbid feeling, a pair of red phoenix eyes that are hooked inwards and outwards, smiling, and the black pupils are extremely energetic, staring at the eunuch faintly.

When the eunuch saw the ghost, he was so surprised that he stuttered and said, "Your...Young Master...what's the matter with you..."

The man in the moon white shirt was undoubtedly Wu Jiu.

Wu Jiao looked condescendingly at the eunuch who had fallen to the ground, and said with a smile, "Huh? What's wrong with my son? Why aren't you dead yet, are you?"

The eunuch was stunned, he was indeed so surprised.

Wu Jiao smiled faintly and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Hearing Wu Jiu's tone, the eunuch shuddered for no reason, and said tremblingly, "Your...Young Master, what are you talking about, I...you don't understand."

Wu Jiu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you will understand sooner or later. My son, I will ask you first, aren't you the eunuch sent by the emperor to serve the widowed monarch? Why did you come to the pharmacy in the middle of the night? It's the widowed gentleman's body. Are you sick, or are you talking nonsense?"

The cold sweat on the eunuch's face immediately slid down. Under the bright firelight, it was particularly glaring. He quickly wiped his sweat twice, and said tremblingly, "Xiaochen...Xiaochen..."

The eunuch was too frightened to speak, at this moment, another person came over, the person hadn't entered yet, but the momentum still came out, and the low and cold voice with haze came first.

I heard Qi Hou say coldly: "Gu also wants to know, who gave you the courage to come here in the middle of the night to poison Lord Qi!"

Following the sound, Qihou had already strode over, his face full of haze, he waved his black sleeve robe, and said coldly: "Come on, hold it up, and reward ten whips first, if you don't say anything, then give me a gift!" Ten lashes until it is said."

"Yes!"

The Huben army nearby responded immediately, and two soldiers rushed over quickly and lifted the eunuch up, making the eunuch tremble with fright.

Then I heard Qi Hou say coldly again: "Just remember one sentence, don't beat him to death."

As Qihou said, he turned his head and took off his cloak, and put it on Wu Jiu's shoulders
