[Seven-five] Drunken Fugui
Chapter 90 Chapter 90
The author has something to say:
The [-]D is longer, any surprises?Shadow's hand was about to cramp. .
It has been a long time since I tried the rhythm of an afternoon [-]D. . .Beep, beg for comfort. . .Please give me a hug~!Zhan Zhao's funeral was held in Kaifeng Mansion, from the princes and relatives, down to the common people, the pawns and peddlers, in the past few days, everyone sighed and mourned.Kaifeng Mansion was naturally more lively than usual.
Bai Yutang sat in the mourning hall with a dark face, looking at the mourners going to and fro, feeling very unlucky no matter what.
However, no matter how unlucky it is, he can only stay here in the name of Zhan Zhao's partner.
Of course, Bai Yutang's bad temper was known throughout the Song Dynasty, so people who came and went saw Bai Yutang's dark face, and didn't think there was anything wrong.It's hard for anyone's wife to die, right?
Therefore, no one came to bother Bai Yutang with a dark face like a god of evil.Everyone respectfully offered incense to Zhan Zhao's spiritual seat.
Occasionally, ordinary people cried so shockingly that they were out of breath, kowtowed after crying, continued to cry after kowtow, and then fainted in the mourning hall.
Bai Yutang's expression became even uglier. Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and several insiders had beads of sweat on their heads, trembling with fear. This ancestor Bai must have calmed down, otherwise...Of course, Prime Minister Wang came to the mourning hall at noon to offer incense, and then invited When Bai Yutang went to eat, it was like a bodhisattva descended, saving the people in the mourning hall.
Let's not talk about Bai Yutang first, but talk about Zhan Zhao's here. When night fell, he put on Bai Yutang's clothes, twisted the picture, and quietly walked out the door.
Generally speaking, in fact, these things that need to be done by Yue Hei Feng Gao are usually done by Bai Yutang.However, right now, Yutang should be guarding the spirit and cannot leave.Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin and sighed, this matter is really unlucky.It would be even more unlucky if that big white mouse came back to trouble me, tsk tsk...
After sighing, Zhan Zhao raised his strength, and the swallow flew lightly and nimbly, like a real cat, with the help of branches, roofs, walls and other objects, it slipped into the palace smoothly.
In the imperial study room, Zhao Zhen flipped through a pile of memorials, his brows furrowed more and more.Zhan Zhao sat on the roof, raised a piece of glazed tiles, carefully scrutinized Zhao Zhen's complexion, and observed the movements in the imperial study room.
A moment later, a beauty in palace costume hurried from the harem with a group of court ladies and eunuchs.The leading lady-in-waiting carried the food box and said cautiously: "Your Majesty will definitely like this soup made by the empress herself."
The beauty in the palace costume didn't speak, but her face softened a lot.
The palace lady said again: "Your Majesty, I recently heard that the Kaifeng Mansion held a funeral for Zhan's guards. Your Majesty has always trusted Lord Zhan. Your Majesty may as well..."
The beauty in palace costume raised her brows: "What? Then Zhan Zhao really passed away?"
The palace lady nodded: "That's not true, I also heard that Wuxia Bai is in Kaifeng mansion to thank guests in person."
The face of the beauty in the palace costume was a little bit pale: "I'm afraid that bitch Concubine Pang is very happy. Isn't their Pang family just nervous to find out something? It's all right now, Master Bao, who is a pillar of the country with integrity for the people, calls them Sent to prison, even a young hero like Mr. Face Zhan..."
The palace lady's face turned pale: "Your Majesty is worrying too much. Your Majesty is wise and wise, so naturally he will not be deceived by traitors. Besides, Your Majesty always likes Your Majesty to be gentle and courteous..."
The beauty in palace costume nodded: "What you said is that as concubines, it is our duty to serve His Majesty well."
While talking, the two had already reached the door of the imperial study.The little eunuch guarding the gate saw her hurrying to salute: "Chen Concubine is a thousand years old."
Concubine Chen nodded with a smile: "Pingshen."
The palace lady stepped forward: "Your Majesty made the pigeon antler soup with her own hands, please report it to your father-in-law."
The little eunuch smiled all over his face: "Your Majesty came at the right time, Your Majesty is really annoying, and I want to pass a supper."
Concubine Chen's mood improved a lot. After waiting at the door for a while, she heard the inside asking her to come in.Zhan Zhao sitting on the roof was funny, his ears were sharp, and Bai Yutang had recently taught him to read lips, so he naturally listened to a lot of what Concubine Chen and the maids had to say.However, he has never been a gossip person, and he really has no interest in the affairs of the harem.
Zhan Zhao came to the imperial study room just to confirm whether the emperor was in danger, but because Concubine Chen felt sorry for Mrs. Bao, he became a little interested, so he planned to stay on the roof of the imperial study room for a while longer.
Therefore, he looked carefully at the interaction between the emperor and his concubines in the royal study through the lifted tiles, and he was quite admirable.
"Aifei's cooking skills are getting better and better. It's just that the food is dry today, and Aifei needs to cook by herself. Is it warm?"
Concubine Chen smiled coquettishly: "Washing your hands and making soup for your husband is what a wife and concubine should do. Since a concubine is His Majesty's concubine, she should naturally do this for His Majesty. As long as Your Majesty thinks that the concubine's craftsmanship is acceptable, no matter how hard the concubine works It's as sweet as it is."
Zhao Zhen patted Concubine Chen's hand and concentrated on drinking the soup. He only watched Concubine Chen sort out the messed up notebooks on the table one by one beside him, and then put the rules of the imperial pen on the pen stand.
"Why does my concubine need to do these things? Tell them to come in and do it. Sit down and I will have a few words with you."
Concubine Chen's face was stained with a blush: "Look at what your majesty said, how tired are the concubines from arranging desks for your majesty? Your majesty didn't even look at the time. Do not allow concubines to add fragrance to their red sleeves?"
Zhao Zhen's mood improved a lot after hearing these words: "You, you still look like you just entered the palace. Come here and grind for me."
Concubine Chen happily rolled up her sleeves and studied the ink carefully.Zhao Zhen put down the soup bowl, came over and sat down in front of the table and continued to read the memorial, but just happened to see the Eighth Prince’s Shangshu. The memorial itself was a note for greetings, but at the end he mentioned that the Kaifeng mansion was holding a funeral, by the way One sentence will go to condolences tomorrow.
Zhao Zhen frowned deeply, and before he knew it, the pen in his hand fell down.
Concubine Chen was taken aback, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty.
Zhao Zhen sighed and helped her up: "My concubine, don't panic, it's because I'm not sure."
Concubine Chen breathed a sigh of relief, quickly picked up the pen, handed it to a young eunuch next to her, and told him to wash a new pen to serve her, and then stepped forward and said: "My concubine seems to be tired. Although the state affairs are important, your majesty It is a body of ten thousand metals, and its body belongs to all peoples, so it is even more important to take care of the body."
Zhao Zhen sighed, turned his head to look at Concubine Chen, and remembered that her father was not a small county magistrate, and had no background and power in the court, not to mention that she was innocent and gentle, and she had never been involved in the relationship between Concubine Pang and other concubines. He is a caring person.Gently took Chen Fei's hand: "I am indeed tired."
"Then His Majesty, please rest for premature ejaculation."
"Wan'er, Zhan Huwei really passed away. I feel bad."
Concubine Chen took a deep breath, she grinded beside him, and naturally saw the words in the playbook.But as a concubine, she can't discuss government affairs indiscriminately, let alone discuss courtiers at will, so she can only remain silent.But now that the emperor is talking about this matter in person, she can say a few words.
"Your Majesty, life and death are life and death. If Lord Zhan knows that His Majesty is sad about his life and death, I'm afraid he won't feel at ease."
"I do..."
"Your Majesty, I know that it is meaningless for me to persuade Your Majesty like this, but." Concubine Chen gently pushed Zhao Zhen's hand away, walked to the table and knelt down: "Your Majesty's lesson, Mr. Zhan Sincerely serving the country and making extraordinary achievements, if His Majesty really wants Master Zhan to go away with peace of mind."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and saw that all the people serving in the palace had retreated, and said: "I know what you want to say, Wan'er. I can trust Bao Qing's character, and it is safest for him to stay in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice now." of."
Concubine Chen looked confused.
Zhao Zhen seemed to be really upset: "Wan'er, Concubine Pang came to beg me today. She said that she was not feeling well recently, and she wanted to ask Gongsun Ce to check her pulse. Look at what kind of heart she is in."
Concubine Chen was shocked, and Zhan Zhao on the roof was also shocked, which was really disturbing and kind.Mr. Gongsun is staying well in the prison now, and he was invited out to give Concubine Pang a pulse. Concubine Pang is pregnant with Liujia, but she hides it from the Imperial Hospital. How will Mr. Gongsun come to diagnose this pulse?
"Wan'er, how do you think I treat their Pang family?" Zhao Zhen walked up to Concubine Chen, gently helped her up, and held her hand, looking a little lonely.
Concubine Chen's expression became even more lonely: "Your Majesty treats Concubine Pang's sister and Taishi Pang's family with great grace, and my concubines are very envious."
Zhao Zhen nodded: "But why aren't they satisfied?"
Concubine Chen panicked, her legs became weak from fright, and she knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, my concubine, my concubine..."
Zhao Zhen chuckled: "Look, Wan'er scared you, I'll tell you, Concubine Pang is going to plot rebellion."
Concubine Chen couldn't kneel anymore, she just felt cold sweat all over her body, she felt as if she was staying at the gate of hell.
"Wan'er, would you like to do something for me?"
Concubine Chen's face was pale, but she could only nod her head: "This concubine can do anything for His Majesty."
"Maybe your life is in danger? Wan'er, you still have to suffer a lot of grievances. Wan'er, you should think about it carefully. I won't force you."
Concubine Chen suddenly stood up and hugged Zhao Zhen tightly from behind: "Wan'er is not afraid. For Your Majesty, Wan'er is not afraid of anything. As long as she can share the worries for Your Majesty, Wan'er is not afraid of death or being wronged. Your Majesty, Your Majesty is Wan'er." My husband is Wan'er's heaven. Wan'er only wants His Majesty to be happy."
Zhao Zhen sighed, and a look of emotion and unbearable flashed in his eyes: "Wan'er, after the matter is completed, I will book you as queen."
Concubine Chen shook her head, with tears in her eyes: "Wan'er doesn't care whether to be a queen or not, Wan'er's family background is not suitable for being a queen, Wan'er only cares that Your Majesty thinks of Wan'er."
Zhao Zhen turned around and held Concubine Chen in his arms. He felt that the little woman was afraid and trembling all over, but there was an extremely firm light in her eyes that were still crying.This kind of light made Zhao Zhen quite distracted. He had been at the top of the imperial power for too long, so long that he even forgot what it was like to be so selflessly loved.
"Wan'er, I have never failed you in this life, but now I want to wrong you, I..."
Concubine Chen raised her hand and gently touched Zhao Zhen's face: "Your Majesty, for Your Majesty, Wan'er is not wronged, and Wan'er is very happy. This shows that His Majesty trusts Wan'er, and Wan'er has never been so happy."
Zhao Zhen suddenly felt a little heartache. He suddenly didn't understand why he hadn't noticed this little woman before, especially her pear blossom with rain at the moment seemed to be engraved into his heart.But as an emperor, he must be hard-hearted.
Zhan Zhao listened to Zhao Zhen's explanation to Concubine Chen on the roof, Concubine Chen shivered but firmly stated that she would do the task, and smiled meaningfully at the corner of her mouth. This emperor is not stupid, so he was relieved.But after thinking about it carefully, she still felt inappropriate, and instantly remembered Tang Meng'er. Although this Concubine Chen had a bit of scheming, she was not Concubine Pang's opponent, not to mention that she had a heart for the world and was devoted to Zhao Zhen, so she should be protected.
However, seeing that Zhao Zhen recruited the commander of the Ouchi guards immediately after Concubine Chen left, and ordered him to arrange hidden guards to protect Concubine Chen, his mind became more active.
Now that the time has passed, Zhao Zhen rubbed his brows tiredly, recruited his attendants and planned to take a rest in the imperial study.
Zhan Zhao took advantage of the nearby imperial guards' patrolling shift, flew away from the imperial study in twos and twos, and headed for Concubine Pang's bedroom.
Concubine Pang's bedroom is definitely the most arrogant and prosperous place in the harem.Zhao Zhen probably has some sincerity towards Concubine Pang, and the rewards for her are all the best.At this moment, the lights in many sleeping halls in the harem have been turned off, and there are only a few sporadic candles left, which cannot illuminate the entire palace at all.
At this moment, those palaces with overhanging eaves in the harem are like monsters with huge mouths, as terrifying as trying to devour the world.Only Concubine Pang's Chaohua Palace was brightly lit.
Zhan Zhao's familiarity and familiarity landed on the roof of the main hall.Lifting the tiles and looking inward, Concubine Pang was not in the hall.Zhan Zhao was a little surprised, but after a while he heard a woman's sharp cry, and moved towards the sound with a thought.This is the side hall, Zhan Zhao hangs on the eaves and looks in the hall, but she is a little palace lady, her body is bruised by the whip, and her whole body is bloody.Concubine Pang sat on the side, and said coldly to a tall and thin eunuch beside her, "You are too careless in doing things, what orders does father have now?"
The eunuch was not very respectful: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Zhan Zhao is dead, and Bai Yutang hasn't seen me, so it doesn't matter."
Zhan Zhao was startled, the voice was Ji Feng, okay, he looked for this guy everywhere, but he didn't expect that this guy was actually in the palace, even in Concubine Pang's palace.
"You also said that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang have an extraordinary relationship. How can you be sure that Bai Yutang doesn't know about your existence?"
"Your Majesty is worrying too much. With that white mouse's temper, now that Zhan Zhao is dead, it is absolutely impossible for him to take care of these matters in the court. Madam, please relax. It is only serious to take good care of the fetus now."
"Raise the baby well? How can I raise it well? Which one in the harem is not staring at me? What's more, you know this baby."
"That's why I want my empress, Xuangong Sun Ce, to take your pulse."
A cold light flashed in the corner of Concubine Pang's eyes: "Your Majesty has already rejected me, saying that Gongsun Ce is now a prisoner and has no right to diagnose my pulse, and he is not even allowed to be released from prison."
Ji Feng was silent for a moment: "It's okay, they're all caught in prison, even if they don't add oil and vinegar, they will die sooner or later. Since the emperor forbids it, then forget it. There have been many things recently, but there is no shortage of this pile."
Concubine Pang nodded: "However, Your Majesty has not been to the palace for five or six days, what do you think?"
Ji Feng smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. Your Majesty is really too busy these days. Not only is Your Majesty here, your Majesty has no time to come, but His Majesty's other Majesty's places also don't have time to go."
"But Concubine Chen saw His Majesty today."
"She made soup for His Majesty, and it happened that His Majesty wanted to eat supper, so I saw her. But the empress is so honorable, she doesn't need to rely on these small tricks. If Your Majesty has time, she will definitely be the first to see the empress."
Concubine Pang smiled slightly: "That's right, let's not talk about it, do you think this baby will be safe?"
Ji Feng frowned: "It's really hard to say, no matter whether it's safe or not, there are several wives of Master Yu in the house who are about the same month as your empress, so it doesn't matter which one will take the place of this child."
Concubine Pang's eyes were a bit contradictory, but it was only for a moment: "What you said is that it is the blood of my Pang family, no matter which one sits in that position, it is good."
The little palace lady who was hung was already terrified at this moment, and what flowed out of her eyes were not even tears but blood stains.Hearing this, she knew that she would definitely not survive.
Resigned to his fate, he closed his eyes, and then felt that he was really put into a sack, carried out by a person, thrown into a pit, and buried.Gradually, she felt that she could no longer breathe, and she thought she was really going to die.
At this moment, the tens of thousands of catties on her body seemed to disappear bit by bit, and then she suddenly felt that she took a breath of fresh air, and then, she slowly opened her eyes.Then, she screamed in shock: "I, I'm really dead, is this hell? No, no, how can such a good person as Mr. Zhan be in hell? Then I went to heaven? But, my hand So much innocent blood, how is it possible."
The little maid looked panic-stricken, Zhan Zhao took a sip of water calmly: "You are not dead, I rescued you back."
The little palace maid touched her face carefully, and then looked at Zhan Zhao's shadow under the lamp: "Here? This is? I'm really not dead? And Mr. Zhan, Mr. Zhan, are you a human or a ghost?"
Zhan Zhao smiled, and his white clothes looked more elegant under the lamp: "This is the small courtyard outside the city where Yutang and I live temporarily. The woods outside the courtyard are arranged by Yutang according to the five elements and eight trigrams. No one will find this place. The girl is temporarily very safe."
The little palace maid was extremely surprised, but she breathed a sigh of relief.Although she was covered with scars, she struggled to kowtow to Zhan Zhao.Zhan Zhao was a little panicked, he didn't want to accept this gift, but he had no choice but to avoid it because he could not accept it.
"Aunt Lin, this girl has woken up, get her something to eat." After giving the order, Zhan Zhao left the room.
He was very grateful for the act of entering the palace tonight, he had never expected such a great harvest, it almost made him kneel down and thank the gods and Buddhas.
So when Bai Yutang returned to the courtyard, he bumped into Zhan Zhao, smiling and holding a jug, sitting under a tree in the courtyard, waiting for him.Bai Yutang's heart itched to see it, and hurried to Zhan Zhao's side: "Cat, what's the matter, so happy?"
"Yutang, you're back?" Zhan Zhao smiled brightly, dazzled Bai Yutang, and could only hug the cat into his arms: "Tell me, what's the matter, so happy?"
"Yutang, I heard the emperor say that Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun can only be considered safe if they stay in prison."
Bai Yutang lightly scratched Zhan Zhao's nose: "My lord said, you cat is happier than stealing the meat. It turns out that you have confirmed Master Bao's safety."
Zhan Zhao waved Bai Yutang's hand away: "Yutang, Your Majesty is a wise ruler. Lord Bao assists you. We protect Lord Bao to do good things for all people in the world. A great hero puts the people first. I am called Nan in Jianghu. Xia, I naturally have to be worthy of the word Xia."
Looking at Zhan Zhao's smile, Bai Yutang's heart softened completely, and the bad luck he felt in the mourning hall disappeared.His cat is right, the great man puts the people first.His cat is only suspended animation once, but it can save a catastrophe, it is worth it.
"Is the White Five Heroes back?"
The little maid heard the movement in the room, endured the pain all over her body, walked to the window, and asked softly through the window.
Bai Yutang's face instantly turned black into billowing clouds: "Zhan Xiaomao?"
"Yutang, this is the little maid I rescued from Concubine Pang. She has listened to a lot of secret conversations between Concubine Ji Feng and Concubine Pang, and even knows something about Concubine Pang and the Pang family."
Bai Yutang was furious: "So you brought it to our house?"
"She knows that the Pang family and Ji Feng want Li Daitao to be stiff. If you say I don't go home, where can I get this living evidence?"
Bai Yutang's anger subsided in an instant: "Cat, please elaborate."
Zhan Zhao told Bai Yutang exactly what he saw and heard in the palace that night, and he didn't hide it from the little maid, and even deliberately amplified his voice so that the little maid could hear it more clearly.
After finishing speaking, Bai Yutang did not speak, but the little maid struggled to get out of the room: "I have a merciless request."
Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Girl, please tell me."
"Concubine Chen lacks someone by her side, someone who can make plans for her. I feel that no one is more suitable than my servant."
Zhan Zhao nodded: "You are indeed suitable, but you are Concubine Pang's man after all, so I don't trust you."
The little palace maid smiled sadly: "What Master Zhan said is true. The slave is indeed Concubine Pang's maid, and the servant is even a dowry from Pang's residence to follow Concubine Pang into the palace."
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and said, "I believe you, but it's useless for the fifth master to believe you. After all, Concubine Chen has a lot to do with her. Your status is embarrassing, so it's really not easy to send her to her. Unless you can prove that you are trustworthy."
The little maid was silent for a moment, then raised her head, with a firm look in her eyes, she took out a piece of jade from her chest and handed it to Bai Yutang: "Please look, fifth master, this is a relic left by my mother to my servants, half of it, and the other half On the servant's sister."
Bai Yutang was puzzled, and took a closer look at the piece of jade. The quality of the jade was very ordinary, and it could even be said to be poor. There were many impurities in it, and the carving was rough.But such jade pieces were carefully tasseled and kept close to her body, which showed that the little girl in front of her cherished them very much.
He handed it back to the little maid: "Continue."
"My sister is now imprisoned in the secret room of the Pang Mansion. I don't know if she is dead or alive, but even if she dies, they will throw her into the deep well in the backyard of the Pang Mansion. If she is not dead, she may be pregnant with Pang Yu's child. , or be taken to refine the elixir for Pang Yu."
After hearing this, Zhan Zhao's expression changed drastically: "The secret room of the Pang Mansion?"
The little palace maid's face was pale: "There are three blue bricks inlaid beside a podocarpus pine in the garden of Pang Mansion, and there is a secret room under the green bricks. Master Zhan and Fifth Master Bai can naturally go to find out whether what the servants said is true or not. "
Bai Yutang's face darkened, and before Zhan Zhao could speak, he had already flown out of the yard.At this time, there was still some time before dawn, Zhan Zhao watched the snow-white figure disappear, and he had already made up his mind, and said to the little maid with a pleasant face, "What else do you know?"
"There are evidences of the Pang family's fish and meat people in the secret room, but the Pang family also raised some people and recruited some generals in the court. I don't know about it."
Zhan Zhao was silent for a moment: "If you were by Concubine Chen's side, what would you do?"
"Your Majesty wants Concubine Chen to pretend to take refuge in Concubine Pang and become a person that Concubine Pang can trust. I can make Concubine Pang trust Concubine Chen."
"But since you can convince Concubine Pang to believe in Concubine Chen, why did Concubine Pang beat you up to this point, even killing you?"
"Because," the little palace maid lowered her head and pulled her hands into fists, pinching the blood, when she raised her head again, her eyes were no longer dim with tears, but were full of energy: "Because, I didn't keep the child in my belly. "
Zhan Zhao's eyes widened, he thought he might be hearing hallucinations, how could this little court lady fail to keep the child, wasn't Concubine Pang the one who was pregnant?
"what happened?"
The little palace maid smiled slightly: "Concubine Pang, how could she be pregnant? Ji Feng took us to experiment with medicine, and gave us a lot of messy medicine, but he couldn't make Concubine Pang conceive a child. But I don't want me to be conceived by Pang Concubine by mistake. The concubine went out to serve His Majesty a few times, and she became pregnant."
Zhan Zhao was startled, and motioned for the little maid to continue.
"But I know that I can't give birth to this child, because this child will become a pawn of the Pang family and a tool for them to seize the country. How can I let my child end up like this. He is not as good as the Pang family. Blood will be destroyed sooner or later after being used by the Pang family. Even if I deserve death, but the child is always innocent, if he is born to bear such a crime, then let the crime end in my hands. "
Zhan Zhao was furious, he didn't expect this to happen, the child is so innocent, but indeed, just like what the little palace lady said, if this child is destined to come with sin, it's better not to come.
For a while, Zhan Zhao thought again that this little court lady had just conceived: "Girl, let's go to the house to rest. Later, Yutang and I will arrange a trustworthy doctor to come and see you."
Instructing Aunt Lin to send the little maid into the room, Zhan Zhaoyan flew to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
On the roof of Gongsun Ce's cell, Zhan Zhao lightly learned three bird calls.
"Exhibition Guard?"
"Sir, my subordinates have something to report."
Gongsun Ce's cell is not as strictly controlled as Bao Zheng's cell.Seeing that the jailers were falling asleep at this time, Zhan Zhao was still uneasy, carefully ordered the sleeping spots for each guard, and after making sure that there was no one else around, he told Gongsun Ce everything that happened tonight.
After hearing this, Gongsun Ce's face changed three times: "Guard Zhan, the pulse condition of Concubine Pang, it's better for the students to confirm it by themselves. If it's as the little palace lady said, she will be a great help for us."
"His Majesty does not agree with you to diagnose Concubine Pang's pulse."
Gongsun Ce pondered for a moment: "Forget it, the student has to find a way to diagnose that girl's pulse."
Zhan Zhao looked at the time, and then at the guards around him who had been doused into sleeping holes: "Why don't you send your husband away now."
Gongsun Ce looked around: "Is it too late?"
Zhan Zhao nodded: "It's too late."
When Zhan Zhao returned to the small courtyard with Gongsun Ce on his back, Bai Yutang had already returned, holding another piece of jade in his hand.Watching Zhan Zhao turn his back to Gongsun Ce, his long and narrow phoenix eyes bulged into round cat eyes: "Cat, you..."
"Yutang, are there any gains?"
Bai Yutang shook the things in his hand, nodded to Zhan Zhao: "Who are you?"
"Sir must confirm some things for himself."
Bai Yutang nodded and greeted Gongsun Ce.
"Hello, Young Xia Bai, you have worked hard these days, Young Xia Bai."
Zhan Zhao led the way and brought Gongsun Ce into the room: "Sir, this is the girl."
The little maid was already sound asleep at this time, Gongsun Ce motioned not to wake her up, and then sat down to examine her pulse carefully.
After a while, Gongsun Ce nodded and signaled Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao to follow him out.
"That girl was indeed pregnant for four months before she conceived. Moreover, all kinds of medicine stones accumulated in this girl's body. In fact, even if she did not take the abortion medicine, she would not be able to give birth at full term." Gongsun Ce said at the same time , while preparing paper and pen, so that he can prescribe the prescription.
Zhan Zhao nodded: "In that case, what the girl said is true? Is this person really useful?"
Gongsun Ce nodded: "To be on the safe side, it's best to let Mrs. Lu have a consultation. Let her take this prescription first, I can't come again. Mrs. Lu is here, let her think about it before changing it."
Bai Yutang echoed: "That's right, let my sister-in-law also take a look, sir live here temporarily?"
Gongsun Ce glanced at Bai Yutang: "Guard Zhan, take me back, it's almost dawn."
Bai Yutang looked at the sky and slapped his forehead: "I'll go, it's almost dawn."
Gongsun Ce was full of smiles, these two people came back, and finally he felt more at ease, "Well, it's okay for young hero Bai to send you off, hurry up, the students should stay in prison and feel at ease. Remember, don't startle the snake. The guards, the emperor's You, you pay more attention. There is also Chen Concubine."
"Don't worry, Mr. Yutang and I have a junior sister, I want to ask her to protect the empress."
Bai Yutang's eyes lit up: "Mao'er, I'll take my husband home first, you write a letter to my sister, she is still in Tang Sect, Meng'er is probably with her too."
In the next few days, nothing major happened.Kaifeng Mansion was immersed in a sad atmosphere, and Bai Yutang kept a dark face all day long in Kaifeng Mansion to keep watch.Zhan Zhao went to the palace every day to find out news, but got nothing.
However, Lu Fang and the others have already arrived in Kaifeng.Tang Xiuxiu checked the pulse of the little maid, affirmed Mr. Gongsun's statement, read Gongsun Ce's prescription, and wrote a new prescription: "Since you want to use her, it is better to treat it early. Mr. Gongsun has nothing to do with trauma. Sure, but it's a little short in gynecology. Xiao Wu, come here and ask someone to catch this prescription for her to raise."
Bai Yutang didn't even look at it, and called Aunt Lin directly.Just kidding, it's not his cat's prescription, what's so good about it.
However, the arrival of Lu Fang and the others finally made Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao heave a sigh of relief.The next day, Bai Yutang took his elder brothers to Kaifeng Mansion. When the Five Rats came to Beijing, they had to offer incense to Zhan Zhao first.
After offering incense, they met with Prime Minister Wang. Lu Fang and the others said that there is no one in Kaifeng Mansion now, and the four of them are willing to stay and protect Prime Minister Wang.After Prime Minister Wang expressed his thanks, he sent them to the backyard to rest.
As soon as they arrived in the backyard, the sad expressions on the faces of several people disappeared instantly.Xu Qing clicked his tongue: "That Zhan kitten is clearly alive and kicking, tell me, what is this?"
Jiang Ping walked over with a goose feather fan: "Third brother's mouth is obviously going to cause trouble. Zhan Zhao's fake death must have his intentions. The mourning hall is five days away, and it should be evacuated in two days. At that time, Meng'er should also go to Beijing Alright."
Aunt Lu thought of Meng'er, and took a look at Bai Yutang: "Xiao Wu, I'm afraid Meng'er's temperament is not suitable, why not call her Xiuyue?"
Bai Yutang was silent for a moment: "Xiaoyue has lost all his martial arts skills, so he can't protect Concubine Chen."
Mrs. Lu suddenly realized: "That's right, that girl Xiuyue, hey. By the way, speaking of Xiuyue, there is one thing I want to tell Xiao Wu."
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "That boy Tang Min, for some reason, he just fell in love with Xiuyue."
Bai Yutang opened his mouth like a goose egg: "Tang Min? That younger brother of yours?"
Tang Xiuxiu nodded: "Why, my young master in Tangjiabao is not good enough for your sister Bai Yutang?"
Bai Yutang looked into his sister-in-law's eyes, and felt cold behind his back: "Why, sister-in-law was joking. The little brother was just surprised, why Tang Min fell in love with Sue Yue."
"I wrote to Baijiazhuang a few days ago, and I also mentioned this matter to your elder brother. What your elder brother means is that the Bai family owes more and more, and she decides her own marriage. What about you, what do you want?" how?"
Bai Yutang pondered for a moment: "This matter, I think the same as big brother. Xiuyue has suffered so much since she was a child. If she likes it, I will definitely not stop her."
Tang Xiuxiu smiled wryly: "It seems that it is impossible for Tang Min to get what he wants from you brothers."
"What? Xiuyue didn't like Tang Min?"
Tang Xiuxiu looked puzzled: "I don't know what these two little ones are up to. Said Xiuyue didn't like Tang Min, but he was a little unusual to him. She said she liked him. When it came to getting married, she would be cold." His face. That boy Tang Min is going crazy."
Bai Yutang smiled slightly: "I advise sister-in-law to leave this matter alone. By the way, I have to ask the people from Baijiazhuang to take the sleeve back."
A black line appeared on Tang Xiuxiu's forehead: "Bai Lao Wu, if you dare to pick it up, try it."
With a smile, Bai Yutang bid farewell to his elder brothers, and he had to continue to guard the mourning hall.
That night, Han Zhang started his new job.Dig a tunnel from the backyard of Kaifeng Mansion to Pang Mansion, leading directly to the underground chamber of Pang Mansion.
This is not an easy job, Han Zhang hardly sleeps, Xu Qing also helped a lot.Lu Fang took over part of Zhan Zhao's work and guarded the roof of Concubine Pang's bedroom at night.Zhan Zhao had time, starting with Jiang Ping and Bai Yutang's analysis of these recent events.
Zhan Zhao's mourning hall was finally removed, and Bai Yutang finally came out of the dissatisfaction of keeping the mourning.This day Tang Menger and Xiuyue went to Beijing.
Tang Meng'er was familiar with Bai Yutang's small courtyard, and when she found her, Bai Yutang was practicing sword with Zhan Zhao.Tang Meng'er likes to be lively, so she picked up her sword and went to meet them.Xiuyue stood quietly at the gate of the courtyard, watched them finish their gestures, and then gently walked to Bai Yutang's side: "Brother, Brother Zhan."
Bai Yutang rubbed his sleeves and jumped over his head: "Why did you follow?"
Xiu Yue had an ugly face: "Brother, didn't you mean to send me back to Baijiazhuang?"
Tang Meng'er leaned over while wiping her sword: "My brother was wrapped around Xiuyue, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I brought her out together. How can I not take her with such a fun thing as going undercover in the palace."
Bai Yutang's head was full of black lines: "Nonsense."
"Hey, senior brother, do you sometimes scold others for making fools of themselves?" Tang Meng'er sneered at Bai Yutang, then turned her head and took Zhan Zhao's arm: "Second senior brother, you see that you don't really care about senior brother. It's nonsense, it's boring."
Zhan Zhao blushed slightly: "Junior Sister. How are Master and the others?"
Tang Meng'er chuckled: "If you go ahead, the old man will leave Ketangjiabao. Don't worry, what can happen to those old things."
Zhan Zhao's face darkened: "Junior Sister, how can you call Master and the others like that."
Tang Meng'er curled her lips: "That's why master often said that the second brother is a piece of wood, which is not fun at all."
Zhan Zhao was speechless, but he was also familiar with Tang Menger's temperament, that is, he habitually said a few words.It doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense, anyway, he has really seen his master's unscrupulous appearance, and Bai Yutang's image of being crooked at the top and crooked at the bottom.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he is the only one in their family who is quite polite.Speechless for a moment, Zhan Zhao didn't care about Tang Meng'er's title, and talked about Concubine Chen and the emperor.
Tang Meng'er has a pretty good nature, she is about to change her clothes and enter the palace, and she also wants to see the girl who went in with her.
"Wait, brother, let me go in with them too." Xiuyue held Tang Meng'er and said to Bai Yutang.
"What are you doing? Is that a place to play? You have lost all your kung fu now, and you don't even have the ability to protect yourself."
Sleeve lowered her head, of course she knew it was not a place to play, but the problem was that Tang Min would definitely not be able to chase her after she entered the palace.Thinking of Tang Min, Sode Yue felt very disappointed. In her eyes, Tang Min was so handsome, but she was just a scoundrel who was not liked by her parents. How could she
The [-]D is longer, any surprises?Shadow's hand was about to cramp. .
It has been a long time since I tried the rhythm of an afternoon [-]D. . .Beep, beg for comfort. . .Please give me a hug~!Zhan Zhao's funeral was held in Kaifeng Mansion, from the princes and relatives, down to the common people, the pawns and peddlers, in the past few days, everyone sighed and mourned.Kaifeng Mansion was naturally more lively than usual.
Bai Yutang sat in the mourning hall with a dark face, looking at the mourners going to and fro, feeling very unlucky no matter what.
However, no matter how unlucky it is, he can only stay here in the name of Zhan Zhao's partner.
Of course, Bai Yutang's bad temper was known throughout the Song Dynasty, so people who came and went saw Bai Yutang's dark face, and didn't think there was anything wrong.It's hard for anyone's wife to die, right?
Therefore, no one came to bother Bai Yutang with a dark face like a god of evil.Everyone respectfully offered incense to Zhan Zhao's spiritual seat.
Occasionally, ordinary people cried so shockingly that they were out of breath, kowtowed after crying, continued to cry after kowtow, and then fainted in the mourning hall.
Bai Yutang's expression became even uglier. Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and several insiders had beads of sweat on their heads, trembling with fear. This ancestor Bai must have calmed down, otherwise...Of course, Prime Minister Wang came to the mourning hall at noon to offer incense, and then invited When Bai Yutang went to eat, it was like a bodhisattva descended, saving the people in the mourning hall.
Let's not talk about Bai Yutang first, but talk about Zhan Zhao's here. When night fell, he put on Bai Yutang's clothes, twisted the picture, and quietly walked out the door.
Generally speaking, in fact, these things that need to be done by Yue Hei Feng Gao are usually done by Bai Yutang.However, right now, Yutang should be guarding the spirit and cannot leave.Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin and sighed, this matter is really unlucky.It would be even more unlucky if that big white mouse came back to trouble me, tsk tsk...
After sighing, Zhan Zhao raised his strength, and the swallow flew lightly and nimbly, like a real cat, with the help of branches, roofs, walls and other objects, it slipped into the palace smoothly.
In the imperial study room, Zhao Zhen flipped through a pile of memorials, his brows furrowed more and more.Zhan Zhao sat on the roof, raised a piece of glazed tiles, carefully scrutinized Zhao Zhen's complexion, and observed the movements in the imperial study room.
A moment later, a beauty in palace costume hurried from the harem with a group of court ladies and eunuchs.The leading lady-in-waiting carried the food box and said cautiously: "Your Majesty will definitely like this soup made by the empress herself."
The beauty in the palace costume didn't speak, but her face softened a lot.
The palace lady said again: "Your Majesty, I recently heard that the Kaifeng Mansion held a funeral for Zhan's guards. Your Majesty has always trusted Lord Zhan. Your Majesty may as well..."
The beauty in palace costume raised her brows: "What? Then Zhan Zhao really passed away?"
The palace lady nodded: "That's not true, I also heard that Wuxia Bai is in Kaifeng mansion to thank guests in person."
The face of the beauty in the palace costume was a little bit pale: "I'm afraid that bitch Concubine Pang is very happy. Isn't their Pang family just nervous to find out something? It's all right now, Master Bao, who is a pillar of the country with integrity for the people, calls them Sent to prison, even a young hero like Mr. Face Zhan..."
The palace lady's face turned pale: "Your Majesty is worrying too much. Your Majesty is wise and wise, so naturally he will not be deceived by traitors. Besides, Your Majesty always likes Your Majesty to be gentle and courteous..."
The beauty in palace costume nodded: "What you said is that as concubines, it is our duty to serve His Majesty well."
While talking, the two had already reached the door of the imperial study.The little eunuch guarding the gate saw her hurrying to salute: "Chen Concubine is a thousand years old."
Concubine Chen nodded with a smile: "Pingshen."
The palace lady stepped forward: "Your Majesty made the pigeon antler soup with her own hands, please report it to your father-in-law."
The little eunuch smiled all over his face: "Your Majesty came at the right time, Your Majesty is really annoying, and I want to pass a supper."
Concubine Chen's mood improved a lot. After waiting at the door for a while, she heard the inside asking her to come in.Zhan Zhao sitting on the roof was funny, his ears were sharp, and Bai Yutang had recently taught him to read lips, so he naturally listened to a lot of what Concubine Chen and the maids had to say.However, he has never been a gossip person, and he really has no interest in the affairs of the harem.
Zhan Zhao came to the imperial study room just to confirm whether the emperor was in danger, but because Concubine Chen felt sorry for Mrs. Bao, he became a little interested, so he planned to stay on the roof of the imperial study room for a while longer.
Therefore, he looked carefully at the interaction between the emperor and his concubines in the royal study through the lifted tiles, and he was quite admirable.
"Aifei's cooking skills are getting better and better. It's just that the food is dry today, and Aifei needs to cook by herself. Is it warm?"
Concubine Chen smiled coquettishly: "Washing your hands and making soup for your husband is what a wife and concubine should do. Since a concubine is His Majesty's concubine, she should naturally do this for His Majesty. As long as Your Majesty thinks that the concubine's craftsmanship is acceptable, no matter how hard the concubine works It's as sweet as it is."
Zhao Zhen patted Concubine Chen's hand and concentrated on drinking the soup. He only watched Concubine Chen sort out the messed up notebooks on the table one by one beside him, and then put the rules of the imperial pen on the pen stand.
"Why does my concubine need to do these things? Tell them to come in and do it. Sit down and I will have a few words with you."
Concubine Chen's face was stained with a blush: "Look at what your majesty said, how tired are the concubines from arranging desks for your majesty? Your majesty didn't even look at the time. Do not allow concubines to add fragrance to their red sleeves?"
Zhao Zhen's mood improved a lot after hearing these words: "You, you still look like you just entered the palace. Come here and grind for me."
Concubine Chen happily rolled up her sleeves and studied the ink carefully.Zhao Zhen put down the soup bowl, came over and sat down in front of the table and continued to read the memorial, but just happened to see the Eighth Prince’s Shangshu. The memorial itself was a note for greetings, but at the end he mentioned that the Kaifeng mansion was holding a funeral, by the way One sentence will go to condolences tomorrow.
Zhao Zhen frowned deeply, and before he knew it, the pen in his hand fell down.
Concubine Chen was taken aback, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty.
Zhao Zhen sighed and helped her up: "My concubine, don't panic, it's because I'm not sure."
Concubine Chen breathed a sigh of relief, quickly picked up the pen, handed it to a young eunuch next to her, and told him to wash a new pen to serve her, and then stepped forward and said: "My concubine seems to be tired. Although the state affairs are important, your majesty It is a body of ten thousand metals, and its body belongs to all peoples, so it is even more important to take care of the body."
Zhao Zhen sighed, turned his head to look at Concubine Chen, and remembered that her father was not a small county magistrate, and had no background and power in the court, not to mention that she was innocent and gentle, and she had never been involved in the relationship between Concubine Pang and other concubines. He is a caring person.Gently took Chen Fei's hand: "I am indeed tired."
"Then His Majesty, please rest for premature ejaculation."
"Wan'er, Zhan Huwei really passed away. I feel bad."
Concubine Chen took a deep breath, she grinded beside him, and naturally saw the words in the playbook.But as a concubine, she can't discuss government affairs indiscriminately, let alone discuss courtiers at will, so she can only remain silent.But now that the emperor is talking about this matter in person, she can say a few words.
"Your Majesty, life and death are life and death. If Lord Zhan knows that His Majesty is sad about his life and death, I'm afraid he won't feel at ease."
"I do..."
"Your Majesty, I know that it is meaningless for me to persuade Your Majesty like this, but." Concubine Chen gently pushed Zhao Zhen's hand away, walked to the table and knelt down: "Your Majesty's lesson, Mr. Zhan Sincerely serving the country and making extraordinary achievements, if His Majesty really wants Master Zhan to go away with peace of mind."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and saw that all the people serving in the palace had retreated, and said: "I know what you want to say, Wan'er. I can trust Bao Qing's character, and it is safest for him to stay in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice now." of."
Concubine Chen looked confused.
Zhao Zhen seemed to be really upset: "Wan'er, Concubine Pang came to beg me today. She said that she was not feeling well recently, and she wanted to ask Gongsun Ce to check her pulse. Look at what kind of heart she is in."
Concubine Chen was shocked, and Zhan Zhao on the roof was also shocked, which was really disturbing and kind.Mr. Gongsun is staying well in the prison now, and he was invited out to give Concubine Pang a pulse. Concubine Pang is pregnant with Liujia, but she hides it from the Imperial Hospital. How will Mr. Gongsun come to diagnose this pulse?
"Wan'er, how do you think I treat their Pang family?" Zhao Zhen walked up to Concubine Chen, gently helped her up, and held her hand, looking a little lonely.
Concubine Chen's expression became even more lonely: "Your Majesty treats Concubine Pang's sister and Taishi Pang's family with great grace, and my concubines are very envious."
Zhao Zhen nodded: "But why aren't they satisfied?"
Concubine Chen panicked, her legs became weak from fright, and she knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, my concubine, my concubine..."
Zhao Zhen chuckled: "Look, Wan'er scared you, I'll tell you, Concubine Pang is going to plot rebellion."
Concubine Chen couldn't kneel anymore, she just felt cold sweat all over her body, she felt as if she was staying at the gate of hell.
"Wan'er, would you like to do something for me?"
Concubine Chen's face was pale, but she could only nod her head: "This concubine can do anything for His Majesty."
"Maybe your life is in danger? Wan'er, you still have to suffer a lot of grievances. Wan'er, you should think about it carefully. I won't force you."
Concubine Chen suddenly stood up and hugged Zhao Zhen tightly from behind: "Wan'er is not afraid. For Your Majesty, Wan'er is not afraid of anything. As long as she can share the worries for Your Majesty, Wan'er is not afraid of death or being wronged. Your Majesty, Your Majesty is Wan'er." My husband is Wan'er's heaven. Wan'er only wants His Majesty to be happy."
Zhao Zhen sighed, and a look of emotion and unbearable flashed in his eyes: "Wan'er, after the matter is completed, I will book you as queen."
Concubine Chen shook her head, with tears in her eyes: "Wan'er doesn't care whether to be a queen or not, Wan'er's family background is not suitable for being a queen, Wan'er only cares that Your Majesty thinks of Wan'er."
Zhao Zhen turned around and held Concubine Chen in his arms. He felt that the little woman was afraid and trembling all over, but there was an extremely firm light in her eyes that were still crying.This kind of light made Zhao Zhen quite distracted. He had been at the top of the imperial power for too long, so long that he even forgot what it was like to be so selflessly loved.
"Wan'er, I have never failed you in this life, but now I want to wrong you, I..."
Concubine Chen raised her hand and gently touched Zhao Zhen's face: "Your Majesty, for Your Majesty, Wan'er is not wronged, and Wan'er is very happy. This shows that His Majesty trusts Wan'er, and Wan'er has never been so happy."
Zhao Zhen suddenly felt a little heartache. He suddenly didn't understand why he hadn't noticed this little woman before, especially her pear blossom with rain at the moment seemed to be engraved into his heart.But as an emperor, he must be hard-hearted.
Zhan Zhao listened to Zhao Zhen's explanation to Concubine Chen on the roof, Concubine Chen shivered but firmly stated that she would do the task, and smiled meaningfully at the corner of her mouth. This emperor is not stupid, so he was relieved.But after thinking about it carefully, she still felt inappropriate, and instantly remembered Tang Meng'er. Although this Concubine Chen had a bit of scheming, she was not Concubine Pang's opponent, not to mention that she had a heart for the world and was devoted to Zhao Zhen, so she should be protected.
However, seeing that Zhao Zhen recruited the commander of the Ouchi guards immediately after Concubine Chen left, and ordered him to arrange hidden guards to protect Concubine Chen, his mind became more active.
Now that the time has passed, Zhao Zhen rubbed his brows tiredly, recruited his attendants and planned to take a rest in the imperial study.
Zhan Zhao took advantage of the nearby imperial guards' patrolling shift, flew away from the imperial study in twos and twos, and headed for Concubine Pang's bedroom.
Concubine Pang's bedroom is definitely the most arrogant and prosperous place in the harem.Zhao Zhen probably has some sincerity towards Concubine Pang, and the rewards for her are all the best.At this moment, the lights in many sleeping halls in the harem have been turned off, and there are only a few sporadic candles left, which cannot illuminate the entire palace at all.
At this moment, those palaces with overhanging eaves in the harem are like monsters with huge mouths, as terrifying as trying to devour the world.Only Concubine Pang's Chaohua Palace was brightly lit.
Zhan Zhao's familiarity and familiarity landed on the roof of the main hall.Lifting the tiles and looking inward, Concubine Pang was not in the hall.Zhan Zhao was a little surprised, but after a while he heard a woman's sharp cry, and moved towards the sound with a thought.This is the side hall, Zhan Zhao hangs on the eaves and looks in the hall, but she is a little palace lady, her body is bruised by the whip, and her whole body is bloody.Concubine Pang sat on the side, and said coldly to a tall and thin eunuch beside her, "You are too careless in doing things, what orders does father have now?"
The eunuch was not very respectful: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Zhan Zhao is dead, and Bai Yutang hasn't seen me, so it doesn't matter."
Zhan Zhao was startled, the voice was Ji Feng, okay, he looked for this guy everywhere, but he didn't expect that this guy was actually in the palace, even in Concubine Pang's palace.
"You also said that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang have an extraordinary relationship. How can you be sure that Bai Yutang doesn't know about your existence?"
"Your Majesty is worrying too much. With that white mouse's temper, now that Zhan Zhao is dead, it is absolutely impossible for him to take care of these matters in the court. Madam, please relax. It is only serious to take good care of the fetus now."
"Raise the baby well? How can I raise it well? Which one in the harem is not staring at me? What's more, you know this baby."
"That's why I want my empress, Xuangong Sun Ce, to take your pulse."
A cold light flashed in the corner of Concubine Pang's eyes: "Your Majesty has already rejected me, saying that Gongsun Ce is now a prisoner and has no right to diagnose my pulse, and he is not even allowed to be released from prison."
Ji Feng was silent for a moment: "It's okay, they're all caught in prison, even if they don't add oil and vinegar, they will die sooner or later. Since the emperor forbids it, then forget it. There have been many things recently, but there is no shortage of this pile."
Concubine Pang nodded: "However, Your Majesty has not been to the palace for five or six days, what do you think?"
Ji Feng smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. Your Majesty is really too busy these days. Not only is Your Majesty here, your Majesty has no time to come, but His Majesty's other Majesty's places also don't have time to go."
"But Concubine Chen saw His Majesty today."
"She made soup for His Majesty, and it happened that His Majesty wanted to eat supper, so I saw her. But the empress is so honorable, she doesn't need to rely on these small tricks. If Your Majesty has time, she will definitely be the first to see the empress."
Concubine Pang smiled slightly: "That's right, let's not talk about it, do you think this baby will be safe?"
Ji Feng frowned: "It's really hard to say, no matter whether it's safe or not, there are several wives of Master Yu in the house who are about the same month as your empress, so it doesn't matter which one will take the place of this child."
Concubine Pang's eyes were a bit contradictory, but it was only for a moment: "What you said is that it is the blood of my Pang family, no matter which one sits in that position, it is good."
The little palace lady who was hung was already terrified at this moment, and what flowed out of her eyes were not even tears but blood stains.Hearing this, she knew that she would definitely not survive.
Resigned to his fate, he closed his eyes, and then felt that he was really put into a sack, carried out by a person, thrown into a pit, and buried.Gradually, she felt that she could no longer breathe, and she thought she was really going to die.
At this moment, the tens of thousands of catties on her body seemed to disappear bit by bit, and then she suddenly felt that she took a breath of fresh air, and then, she slowly opened her eyes.Then, she screamed in shock: "I, I'm really dead, is this hell? No, no, how can such a good person as Mr. Zhan be in hell? Then I went to heaven? But, my hand So much innocent blood, how is it possible."
The little maid looked panic-stricken, Zhan Zhao took a sip of water calmly: "You are not dead, I rescued you back."
The little palace maid touched her face carefully, and then looked at Zhan Zhao's shadow under the lamp: "Here? This is? I'm really not dead? And Mr. Zhan, Mr. Zhan, are you a human or a ghost?"
Zhan Zhao smiled, and his white clothes looked more elegant under the lamp: "This is the small courtyard outside the city where Yutang and I live temporarily. The woods outside the courtyard are arranged by Yutang according to the five elements and eight trigrams. No one will find this place. The girl is temporarily very safe."
The little palace maid was extremely surprised, but she breathed a sigh of relief.Although she was covered with scars, she struggled to kowtow to Zhan Zhao.Zhan Zhao was a little panicked, he didn't want to accept this gift, but he had no choice but to avoid it because he could not accept it.
"Aunt Lin, this girl has woken up, get her something to eat." After giving the order, Zhan Zhao left the room.
He was very grateful for the act of entering the palace tonight, he had never expected such a great harvest, it almost made him kneel down and thank the gods and Buddhas.
So when Bai Yutang returned to the courtyard, he bumped into Zhan Zhao, smiling and holding a jug, sitting under a tree in the courtyard, waiting for him.Bai Yutang's heart itched to see it, and hurried to Zhan Zhao's side: "Cat, what's the matter, so happy?"
"Yutang, you're back?" Zhan Zhao smiled brightly, dazzled Bai Yutang, and could only hug the cat into his arms: "Tell me, what's the matter, so happy?"
"Yutang, I heard the emperor say that Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun can only be considered safe if they stay in prison."
Bai Yutang lightly scratched Zhan Zhao's nose: "My lord said, you cat is happier than stealing the meat. It turns out that you have confirmed Master Bao's safety."
Zhan Zhao waved Bai Yutang's hand away: "Yutang, Your Majesty is a wise ruler. Lord Bao assists you. We protect Lord Bao to do good things for all people in the world. A great hero puts the people first. I am called Nan in Jianghu. Xia, I naturally have to be worthy of the word Xia."
Looking at Zhan Zhao's smile, Bai Yutang's heart softened completely, and the bad luck he felt in the mourning hall disappeared.His cat is right, the great man puts the people first.His cat is only suspended animation once, but it can save a catastrophe, it is worth it.
"Is the White Five Heroes back?"
The little maid heard the movement in the room, endured the pain all over her body, walked to the window, and asked softly through the window.
Bai Yutang's face instantly turned black into billowing clouds: "Zhan Xiaomao?"
"Yutang, this is the little maid I rescued from Concubine Pang. She has listened to a lot of secret conversations between Concubine Ji Feng and Concubine Pang, and even knows something about Concubine Pang and the Pang family."
Bai Yutang was furious: "So you brought it to our house?"
"She knows that the Pang family and Ji Feng want Li Daitao to be stiff. If you say I don't go home, where can I get this living evidence?"
Bai Yutang's anger subsided in an instant: "Cat, please elaborate."
Zhan Zhao told Bai Yutang exactly what he saw and heard in the palace that night, and he didn't hide it from the little maid, and even deliberately amplified his voice so that the little maid could hear it more clearly.
After finishing speaking, Bai Yutang did not speak, but the little maid struggled to get out of the room: "I have a merciless request."
Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Girl, please tell me."
"Concubine Chen lacks someone by her side, someone who can make plans for her. I feel that no one is more suitable than my servant."
Zhan Zhao nodded: "You are indeed suitable, but you are Concubine Pang's man after all, so I don't trust you."
The little palace maid smiled sadly: "What Master Zhan said is true. The slave is indeed Concubine Pang's maid, and the servant is even a dowry from Pang's residence to follow Concubine Pang into the palace."
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and said, "I believe you, but it's useless for the fifth master to believe you. After all, Concubine Chen has a lot to do with her. Your status is embarrassing, so it's really not easy to send her to her. Unless you can prove that you are trustworthy."
The little maid was silent for a moment, then raised her head, with a firm look in her eyes, she took out a piece of jade from her chest and handed it to Bai Yutang: "Please look, fifth master, this is a relic left by my mother to my servants, half of it, and the other half On the servant's sister."
Bai Yutang was puzzled, and took a closer look at the piece of jade. The quality of the jade was very ordinary, and it could even be said to be poor. There were many impurities in it, and the carving was rough.But such jade pieces were carefully tasseled and kept close to her body, which showed that the little girl in front of her cherished them very much.
He handed it back to the little maid: "Continue."
"My sister is now imprisoned in the secret room of the Pang Mansion. I don't know if she is dead or alive, but even if she dies, they will throw her into the deep well in the backyard of the Pang Mansion. If she is not dead, she may be pregnant with Pang Yu's child. , or be taken to refine the elixir for Pang Yu."
After hearing this, Zhan Zhao's expression changed drastically: "The secret room of the Pang Mansion?"
The little palace maid's face was pale: "There are three blue bricks inlaid beside a podocarpus pine in the garden of Pang Mansion, and there is a secret room under the green bricks. Master Zhan and Fifth Master Bai can naturally go to find out whether what the servants said is true or not. "
Bai Yutang's face darkened, and before Zhan Zhao could speak, he had already flown out of the yard.At this time, there was still some time before dawn, Zhan Zhao watched the snow-white figure disappear, and he had already made up his mind, and said to the little maid with a pleasant face, "What else do you know?"
"There are evidences of the Pang family's fish and meat people in the secret room, but the Pang family also raised some people and recruited some generals in the court. I don't know about it."
Zhan Zhao was silent for a moment: "If you were by Concubine Chen's side, what would you do?"
"Your Majesty wants Concubine Chen to pretend to take refuge in Concubine Pang and become a person that Concubine Pang can trust. I can make Concubine Pang trust Concubine Chen."
"But since you can convince Concubine Pang to believe in Concubine Chen, why did Concubine Pang beat you up to this point, even killing you?"
"Because," the little palace maid lowered her head and pulled her hands into fists, pinching the blood, when she raised her head again, her eyes were no longer dim with tears, but were full of energy: "Because, I didn't keep the child in my belly. "
Zhan Zhao's eyes widened, he thought he might be hearing hallucinations, how could this little court lady fail to keep the child, wasn't Concubine Pang the one who was pregnant?
"what happened?"
The little palace maid smiled slightly: "Concubine Pang, how could she be pregnant? Ji Feng took us to experiment with medicine, and gave us a lot of messy medicine, but he couldn't make Concubine Pang conceive a child. But I don't want me to be conceived by Pang Concubine by mistake. The concubine went out to serve His Majesty a few times, and she became pregnant."
Zhan Zhao was startled, and motioned for the little maid to continue.
"But I know that I can't give birth to this child, because this child will become a pawn of the Pang family and a tool for them to seize the country. How can I let my child end up like this. He is not as good as the Pang family. Blood will be destroyed sooner or later after being used by the Pang family. Even if I deserve death, but the child is always innocent, if he is born to bear such a crime, then let the crime end in my hands. "
Zhan Zhao was furious, he didn't expect this to happen, the child is so innocent, but indeed, just like what the little palace lady said, if this child is destined to come with sin, it's better not to come.
For a while, Zhan Zhao thought again that this little court lady had just conceived: "Girl, let's go to the house to rest. Later, Yutang and I will arrange a trustworthy doctor to come and see you."
Instructing Aunt Lin to send the little maid into the room, Zhan Zhaoyan flew to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
On the roof of Gongsun Ce's cell, Zhan Zhao lightly learned three bird calls.
"Exhibition Guard?"
"Sir, my subordinates have something to report."
Gongsun Ce's cell is not as strictly controlled as Bao Zheng's cell.Seeing that the jailers were falling asleep at this time, Zhan Zhao was still uneasy, carefully ordered the sleeping spots for each guard, and after making sure that there was no one else around, he told Gongsun Ce everything that happened tonight.
After hearing this, Gongsun Ce's face changed three times: "Guard Zhan, the pulse condition of Concubine Pang, it's better for the students to confirm it by themselves. If it's as the little palace lady said, she will be a great help for us."
"His Majesty does not agree with you to diagnose Concubine Pang's pulse."
Gongsun Ce pondered for a moment: "Forget it, the student has to find a way to diagnose that girl's pulse."
Zhan Zhao looked at the time, and then at the guards around him who had been doused into sleeping holes: "Why don't you send your husband away now."
Gongsun Ce looked around: "Is it too late?"
Zhan Zhao nodded: "It's too late."
When Zhan Zhao returned to the small courtyard with Gongsun Ce on his back, Bai Yutang had already returned, holding another piece of jade in his hand.Watching Zhan Zhao turn his back to Gongsun Ce, his long and narrow phoenix eyes bulged into round cat eyes: "Cat, you..."
"Yutang, are there any gains?"
Bai Yutang shook the things in his hand, nodded to Zhan Zhao: "Who are you?"
"Sir must confirm some things for himself."
Bai Yutang nodded and greeted Gongsun Ce.
"Hello, Young Xia Bai, you have worked hard these days, Young Xia Bai."
Zhan Zhao led the way and brought Gongsun Ce into the room: "Sir, this is the girl."
The little maid was already sound asleep at this time, Gongsun Ce motioned not to wake her up, and then sat down to examine her pulse carefully.
After a while, Gongsun Ce nodded and signaled Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao to follow him out.
"That girl was indeed pregnant for four months before she conceived. Moreover, all kinds of medicine stones accumulated in this girl's body. In fact, even if she did not take the abortion medicine, she would not be able to give birth at full term." Gongsun Ce said at the same time , while preparing paper and pen, so that he can prescribe the prescription.
Zhan Zhao nodded: "In that case, what the girl said is true? Is this person really useful?"
Gongsun Ce nodded: "To be on the safe side, it's best to let Mrs. Lu have a consultation. Let her take this prescription first, I can't come again. Mrs. Lu is here, let her think about it before changing it."
Bai Yutang echoed: "That's right, let my sister-in-law also take a look, sir live here temporarily?"
Gongsun Ce glanced at Bai Yutang: "Guard Zhan, take me back, it's almost dawn."
Bai Yutang looked at the sky and slapped his forehead: "I'll go, it's almost dawn."
Gongsun Ce was full of smiles, these two people came back, and finally he felt more at ease, "Well, it's okay for young hero Bai to send you off, hurry up, the students should stay in prison and feel at ease. Remember, don't startle the snake. The guards, the emperor's You, you pay more attention. There is also Chen Concubine."
"Don't worry, Mr. Yutang and I have a junior sister, I want to ask her to protect the empress."
Bai Yutang's eyes lit up: "Mao'er, I'll take my husband home first, you write a letter to my sister, she is still in Tang Sect, Meng'er is probably with her too."
In the next few days, nothing major happened.Kaifeng Mansion was immersed in a sad atmosphere, and Bai Yutang kept a dark face all day long in Kaifeng Mansion to keep watch.Zhan Zhao went to the palace every day to find out news, but got nothing.
However, Lu Fang and the others have already arrived in Kaifeng.Tang Xiuxiu checked the pulse of the little maid, affirmed Mr. Gongsun's statement, read Gongsun Ce's prescription, and wrote a new prescription: "Since you want to use her, it is better to treat it early. Mr. Gongsun has nothing to do with trauma. Sure, but it's a little short in gynecology. Xiao Wu, come here and ask someone to catch this prescription for her to raise."
Bai Yutang didn't even look at it, and called Aunt Lin directly.Just kidding, it's not his cat's prescription, what's so good about it.
However, the arrival of Lu Fang and the others finally made Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao heave a sigh of relief.The next day, Bai Yutang took his elder brothers to Kaifeng Mansion. When the Five Rats came to Beijing, they had to offer incense to Zhan Zhao first.
After offering incense, they met with Prime Minister Wang. Lu Fang and the others said that there is no one in Kaifeng Mansion now, and the four of them are willing to stay and protect Prime Minister Wang.After Prime Minister Wang expressed his thanks, he sent them to the backyard to rest.
As soon as they arrived in the backyard, the sad expressions on the faces of several people disappeared instantly.Xu Qing clicked his tongue: "That Zhan kitten is clearly alive and kicking, tell me, what is this?"
Jiang Ping walked over with a goose feather fan: "Third brother's mouth is obviously going to cause trouble. Zhan Zhao's fake death must have his intentions. The mourning hall is five days away, and it should be evacuated in two days. At that time, Meng'er should also go to Beijing Alright."
Aunt Lu thought of Meng'er, and took a look at Bai Yutang: "Xiao Wu, I'm afraid Meng'er's temperament is not suitable, why not call her Xiuyue?"
Bai Yutang was silent for a moment: "Xiaoyue has lost all his martial arts skills, so he can't protect Concubine Chen."
Mrs. Lu suddenly realized: "That's right, that girl Xiuyue, hey. By the way, speaking of Xiuyue, there is one thing I want to tell Xiao Wu."
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "That boy Tang Min, for some reason, he just fell in love with Xiuyue."
Bai Yutang opened his mouth like a goose egg: "Tang Min? That younger brother of yours?"
Tang Xiuxiu nodded: "Why, my young master in Tangjiabao is not good enough for your sister Bai Yutang?"
Bai Yutang looked into his sister-in-law's eyes, and felt cold behind his back: "Why, sister-in-law was joking. The little brother was just surprised, why Tang Min fell in love with Sue Yue."
"I wrote to Baijiazhuang a few days ago, and I also mentioned this matter to your elder brother. What your elder brother means is that the Bai family owes more and more, and she decides her own marriage. What about you, what do you want?" how?"
Bai Yutang pondered for a moment: "This matter, I think the same as big brother. Xiuyue has suffered so much since she was a child. If she likes it, I will definitely not stop her."
Tang Xiuxiu smiled wryly: "It seems that it is impossible for Tang Min to get what he wants from you brothers."
"What? Xiuyue didn't like Tang Min?"
Tang Xiuxiu looked puzzled: "I don't know what these two little ones are up to. Said Xiuyue didn't like Tang Min, but he was a little unusual to him. She said she liked him. When it came to getting married, she would be cold." His face. That boy Tang Min is going crazy."
Bai Yutang smiled slightly: "I advise sister-in-law to leave this matter alone. By the way, I have to ask the people from Baijiazhuang to take the sleeve back."
A black line appeared on Tang Xiuxiu's forehead: "Bai Lao Wu, if you dare to pick it up, try it."
With a smile, Bai Yutang bid farewell to his elder brothers, and he had to continue to guard the mourning hall.
That night, Han Zhang started his new job.Dig a tunnel from the backyard of Kaifeng Mansion to Pang Mansion, leading directly to the underground chamber of Pang Mansion.
This is not an easy job, Han Zhang hardly sleeps, Xu Qing also helped a lot.Lu Fang took over part of Zhan Zhao's work and guarded the roof of Concubine Pang's bedroom at night.Zhan Zhao had time, starting with Jiang Ping and Bai Yutang's analysis of these recent events.
Zhan Zhao's mourning hall was finally removed, and Bai Yutang finally came out of the dissatisfaction of keeping the mourning.This day Tang Menger and Xiuyue went to Beijing.
Tang Meng'er was familiar with Bai Yutang's small courtyard, and when she found her, Bai Yutang was practicing sword with Zhan Zhao.Tang Meng'er likes to be lively, so she picked up her sword and went to meet them.Xiuyue stood quietly at the gate of the courtyard, watched them finish their gestures, and then gently walked to Bai Yutang's side: "Brother, Brother Zhan."
Bai Yutang rubbed his sleeves and jumped over his head: "Why did you follow?"
Xiu Yue had an ugly face: "Brother, didn't you mean to send me back to Baijiazhuang?"
Tang Meng'er leaned over while wiping her sword: "My brother was wrapped around Xiuyue, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I brought her out together. How can I not take her with such a fun thing as going undercover in the palace."
Bai Yutang's head was full of black lines: "Nonsense."
"Hey, senior brother, do you sometimes scold others for making fools of themselves?" Tang Meng'er sneered at Bai Yutang, then turned her head and took Zhan Zhao's arm: "Second senior brother, you see that you don't really care about senior brother. It's nonsense, it's boring."
Zhan Zhao blushed slightly: "Junior Sister. How are Master and the others?"
Tang Meng'er chuckled: "If you go ahead, the old man will leave Ketangjiabao. Don't worry, what can happen to those old things."
Zhan Zhao's face darkened: "Junior Sister, how can you call Master and the others like that."
Tang Meng'er curled her lips: "That's why master often said that the second brother is a piece of wood, which is not fun at all."
Zhan Zhao was speechless, but he was also familiar with Tang Menger's temperament, that is, he habitually said a few words.It doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense, anyway, he has really seen his master's unscrupulous appearance, and Bai Yutang's image of being crooked at the top and crooked at the bottom.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he is the only one in their family who is quite polite.Speechless for a moment, Zhan Zhao didn't care about Tang Meng'er's title, and talked about Concubine Chen and the emperor.
Tang Meng'er has a pretty good nature, she is about to change her clothes and enter the palace, and she also wants to see the girl who went in with her.
"Wait, brother, let me go in with them too." Xiuyue held Tang Meng'er and said to Bai Yutang.
"What are you doing? Is that a place to play? You have lost all your kung fu now, and you don't even have the ability to protect yourself."
Sleeve lowered her head, of course she knew it was not a place to play, but the problem was that Tang Min would definitely not be able to chase her after she entered the palace.Thinking of Tang Min, Sode Yue felt very disappointed. In her eyes, Tang Min was so handsome, but she was just a scoundrel who was not liked by her parents. How could she
