female concubine

The day before, the left temple of Dali Temple.

"According to A Lang's order, Yang Shu's son was sent to Sichuan overnight, and someone from the other courtyard has also sent word."

"it is good."

"I really didn't expect Yang Shu, the medical official who always claimed to be a clean stream, to have an illegitimate child."

King Chu just smiled as expected.

"Sizheng, the Hanlin medical officer is here."

"The servant girl will leave first." Xiao Liuzi then exited the house together with the passer-by.

The medical officer asked Yang Shu to enter with a medical box on his shoulders. After the people outside closed the door, he hurried up to the king of Chu, and he did not forget to salute. What exactly do the six kings want to do? As a minister in Dali Temple, the six kings should know that kidnapping the relatives of court officials is a felony of beheading, how can the six kings know how to break the law?"

Faced with Yang Shu's series of questioning, the King of Chu smiled unhurriedly and said, "If the officials at Yushitai found out that my scholar-officials had illegitimate children with prostitutes, Doctor Yang, do you want this hat?" Without waiting for Yang Shu to reply, she went on to say, "It would be nice if Doctor Yang didn't have this hat, so he wouldn't have to worry about getting scared every night, and he wouldn't have to nod and bow every day, but who in the world would allow it?" The unknown danger is out of my sight!" King Chu said in a very strange tone, which made people feel angry.

Ling Yang Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and frowned deeply, "But the official has already agreed to the six kings to rewrite the pulse case. Apart from the six kings and the official, there is no third person who knows about the princess. Could it be that the six kings can't trust the official?" ?”

The king of Chu turned his back to Yang Shu, smiled and said, "It's not that this king can't believe it, but this king." He suddenly turned his head halfway, looked coldly at the green robe, "I don't believe it at all!"

"Six kings, you..."

"The king can use this method to coerce you today, but there is no guarantee that others will not use this method to persecute you in the future? So Doctor Yang should be obedient and obedient."

"Six kings, what exactly do you want to do?"

The King of Chu turned around, and immediately smiled at Yang Shu, "Don't worry, I am not the crown prince, and I will not let Doctor Yang do things that hurt the heavens and reason. I only need you to send Da Nei, Donggong, and Zhao Wangfu every month. Please write double copies of the pulse report and send one copy to the palace, in order to avoid suspicion from others, so as to keep the title of medical envoy, so please ask the medical envoy to pass the pulse report to Deputy Envoy Sun, who is taking the pulse of this king."

"Leaking the case of the emperor's pulse, this crime of dereliction of duty is equivalent to treason, the six kings..."

Yang Shu raised his head, then lowered his hands and said feebly, "This is to force the lower officials to death!"

The King of Chu still smiled faintly, "Do not panic, your son, the king has already sent someone to take care of him. I believe nothing will happen for the time being."

Yang Shuchang sighed, bowed slowly and said, "Donggong Liangdi, she is three months pregnant."

The person who was smiling at first changed his face instantly when he heard that Dong Gong was happy.

Yang Shu naturally understood why the king of Chu changed his face, and the concubine of Chu could not conceive, but the irony of the good news came from the East Palace.

But he didn't know that what's even more ironic about this matter was that it was all done by the same person!

In the study room of King Cheng's mansion, King Cheng was holding a mansion newspaper, which printed the ranking of the provincial examination results.

"Anything that looks like it is false."

A woman in light-colored clothes entered, and bent down curiously, "What is Dad reading?"

Immediately, he complained again: "Dad has been chanting this sentence since he came back from Da Nei a few days ago, and I don't know what His Majesty said to Dad."

King Cheng put down the mansion newspaper in his hand and shook his head, "It's not His Majesty, but Elder Zhizhen from Daxiangguo Temple."

"It's that old man again..." The person who realized something was wrong stopped immediately, and then changed his words: "Elder Zhizhen? I saw him in Da Nei a few years ago. Monks like them love to pretend Sophisticated, playing tricks to fool people."

"No nonsense."

"That's right. When Er met him for the first time, he chased after Er and brother six, and kept saying that elder brother will be a blessed person in the future, and that elder brother will be His Majesty's son. Is it a blessing for him? ..."

The words of the county magistrate of Yuanling seemed to wake up King Cheng, "When did it happen?"

The county magistrate of Yuanling lowered his head and thought for a while, "Before Sixth Brother came out of the pavilion, Dad looked at me like this, is there something wrong?"

Cheng Wang came back to his senses, and immediately patted his daughter's head, and said with a kind smile, "It's all right."

The head of Yuanling County moved to his father's knee, King Cheng's eyes were full of kindness, "Daddy promised your mother, Daddy will definitely protect Yuanling."

--------

In King Zhao's mansion, servants carried several big boxes in and put them in the front yard.

King Zhao Wei Yunsheng heard that Princess Chu came to the door to thank him in person, so he dropped the trivial matters in his hands and hurried back, went around and entered the house to change into new clothes.

He didn't come out until the tea was cold on the table, "Qingqing..."

Zhao Wang took a step forward, Xiao Youqing took a step back, "Third Brother, please stop, Youqing is still Princess Chu."

Unwillingly, Wei Yunsheng sat back on the main seat, secretly smiled in his heart and said: Wait for King Chu's He Lishu to come out, and see how long you can last.

Zhao Wang said gently on the surface: "So today Princess Chu?"

"I am here to thank the third brother for saving his life on the third day of the first lunar month." King Zhao had already sent away all the servants here when he came.

Zhao Wang pretended to be affectionate and said: "No matter what your status is, no matter where you are, as long as you are in trouble, I will not refuse to save you, you know."

Xiao Youqing immediately turned cold, and took the initiative to take a step closer, "Really?"

"Qingqing, don't you know what I mean?"

"I don't know!" Xiao Youqing replied very coldly, and then said sharply: "I don't care what method you use, or what kind of handle you have on her, in short, if she suffers even the slightest harm, I will let you, and the entire Zhao Palace Funeral!"

Xiao Youqing dared to say this to King Zhao, naturally he had the confidence, and he also knew that King Zhao knew it well, "Your Majesty will not be so fond of you as to trade the country for your son, because your Majesty's country is bought with blood relatives!"

"He told you all?" Zhao Wang did not regard Xiao Youqing's disrespect for the emperor as treason, but panicked, thinking that his carefully planned plan had been exposed.

"She didn't say a word to me, but you think I'm really that easy to deceive?"

No one can tell you, but someone sees it through. Zhao Wang didn't have time to think about where the fault came from, so he hurriedly said: "So what, he deserves you to do this for him?"

"Whether it's worth it or not, you don't need outsiders to tell you!"

The extremely unwilling person became angry with embarrassment, "Don't be stupid, a person who stays in a brothel and doesn't even touch you, he doesn't like you at all!"

Sure enough, as she guessed, King Chu and King Zhao must have reached an agreement, and she was forced out with just a few words, "I don't need her to like you."

Xiao Youqing then took a step closer and stared coldly, "Because all of this is mine, and I am willing!"

"Don't lie, who doesn't know that you approached him with a purpose."

"Yes, maybe it was in the past, but from now on, it's not!"

"Qingqing... why do you never look back at me, why do you think I'm someone you can't trust? Maybe I am to them, but I am absolutely sincere to you!"

"King Zhao, Xiao Youqing is Xiao Youqing, and Princess Chu is also Princess Chu. I have been disgusted with the word "Qingqing" since the first time I heard it from your mouth, but you are shameless!"

Zhao Wang was angry, "Xiao Youqing!"

Good words of persuasion only resulted in Xiao Youqing's refusal to give up an inch, which made his face change instantly, and his fierce eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, "You will regret it!"

Xiao Youqing still looked at her coldly, then smiled mockingly.

"If the king enters the East Palace."

Xiao Youqing stood still with his back turned.

Zhao Wang then said angrily in a low voice: "I will definitely give the king of Chu to death in front of your eyes!"

"This king will do what he says!"

The distance between Prince Chu's Mansion and Prince Zhao's Mansion is much shorter than that of Prince Consort's Mansion. They went out almost at the same time, but when Xiao Youqing returned home, King Chu had not yet returned.

"Is the prince still in the study?"

"If you go back to the princess, the prince just went out."

"The prince is out? When?"

"Yes, not long after the concubine left, the prince also left, and the slaves thought the prince was looking for the concubine."

Xiao Youqing provoked Emei, "But I haven't seen her... do you know where the prince has gone?"

"The prince didn't explain when he left, but Qi Neishi followed."

Xiao Youqing glanced at the gate, there were only a few guards guarding the gate, and then hesitantly went to the study. The furnishings in the study did not change much from before, but there were more cats and dogs on the wall than before. After that, she walked to the table and was about to sit down and wait for someone to come back.

Turning around, she found a copper box that she had seen before unlocked. The box was hidden in the corner where the scrolls were placed. If she hadn't been careful, most people would hardly notice it.

There is a lock on the box, but it has already been opened. I don't know if I forgot to lock it, or the contents inside have been taken out and no longer need to be locked.

Xiao Youqing stepped forward to open the box, a sulfur and sour smell came out, and found a strange-looking long tube lying inside, "What is this?"

The long tube has two sections, the upper section is a relatively thick iron pipe, the middle section is slightly bulging, and there is a small hole in the outer wall.

Xiao Youqing picked up this unknown object, which seemed to have some weight, and there was a piece of yellow paper under it.

Read along with the words on the yellow paper: "Shoot the fire. Spear, fill the fire. The medicine and the nest, ignite the fuse. The medicine erupts, and the range can reach 150 steps, if it is far away, it can reach [-] steps." Xiao Youqing followed His hands trembled, panicked in his heart.

Gunpowder is not unique in this world. It has been nearly a thousand years since it appeared in this dynasty. In the previous dynasty, some people researched and made gunpowder into powerful weapons, but they have not succeeded due to various restrictions.

"Could it be that she has been in Sichuan all these years... just to deceive others, what Weng Weng said..."

She remembered that mining and iron smelting in Sichuan were very prosperous, and the terrain was extremely special. The difficulty of the Sichuan road was a natural barrier, and few outsiders entered.

She locked the box and put it back, took a cold breath and sat down.

"It's me... I'm a little naive!" Then he lowered his head and smiled, seemingly unexpectedly happy, but at the same time worried, "Have you taken it out and used it? This person is really careless, how dare he put it in the study like this without falling behind?" Lock!!!"

When I lowered my head, I saw some unnatural bulges in the book, as if something was caught inside.

Then he stretched out his hand and opened it, and there was a memorial that had not yet been presented in the book, and...
