steal bi

The capital is getting closer.

Qiao Yu was reading the paperwork when Yuan Zanbi entered the account, and there was a very delicate gift box on the case.

Yuan Zanbi casually mentioned, "Which adult sent it?"

Qiao Yu casually interjected: "At present, all the adults in the court are avoiding me, how can anyone send me things without festivals, you are laughing at me."

As soon as Yuan Zanbi sat down, A Bi threw herself into his arms.

Yuan Zanbi held the cat in both hands, weighed it in his hand, refused to answer Qiao Yu's words, and said, "It's a bit heavier." When Qiao Yu first hugged the cat, Abi was only a thin and small ball, but now it is heavy with both hands. It's hard to hold it.

A Bi meowed toward Yuan Zanbi, as if she understood.

"I didn't talk about girls that much." Qiao Yu said, put down the official document, his eyes fell on the gift box at hand, he hooked the silk ribbon on it with his finger, the Chaoyuan hairpin made a sound, and said, "Open it and have a look."

Yuan Zanbi wanted to put the cat down, but Abi's paws hooked his official uniform very tightly, as if he would not let go no matter what, Yuan Zanbi had no choice but to hold it up and walk to Qiao Yu.

He pulled away the silk ribbon on it with one hand, and took a closer look at the pattern on it. It was a sage with a protruding forehead, holding a walking stick, and riding a crane on his crotch, holding a fairy peach to celebrate his birthday. The wood is fine sandalwood, with delicate texture and close distance The faint fragrance of the wood can be smelled from a distance, even if it is rare to find such a carver in this wilderness than this fine sandalwood, even if the carver is lifelike, it is just a box, which is medium enough They keep the family heirloom, but...Yuan Zanbi couldn't help but said: "This picture is too common."

He opened the box, inside a handle of jade ruyis was placed neatly on the Longevity character silk embroidered with mixed gold thread, the longevity characters were shining golden, there were hundreds of them.

Yuanzan brush picks up Ruyi, and feels warmth in the touch, the jade is as delicate as the skin of a young girl in her twenties or eight years.

Fortunately, there are only auspicious clouds on Ruyi, and the auspicious clouds are exquisite, as if they can be blown away by a gust of wind.

Qiao Yu said regretfully: "It's a pity, the uncut jade is too slender to carve too much, otherwise I would really order someone to carve the Eight Immortals to celebrate his birthday."

Fortunately, the uncut jade is slender, leaving little room for Qiao Yu to develop.

Rubbing the fingers of Yuanzan pen on the jade, he said: "The value of this kind of beautiful jade is far more than a thousand gold. If it is carved according to the carving method mentioned in the middle of the month, a hundred taels of silver is enough."

Abi cautiously stretched out her paw to touch the Ruyi handle.

Qiao Yu looked at him dissatisfied.

"Which old man's birthday?" Yuan Zanbi put Yu Ruyi back into the box, and Abi stepped on his arm and jumped out of his arms, onto the table.It is as heavy as Yuan Zanbi said, but it is extremely light when it falls on the table, and the tea on the table does not even have a ripple.

"Liu Yao." Qiao Yu said.

The movement of Yuan Zan pen to arrange the pad silk was paused.

Qiao Yu continued: "He returned it."

Yuan Zanbi said sincerely: "If the Third Highness opened it and read it, I'm not surprised why he returned it."

Qiao Yu pulled the wooden box in front of him, and said, "Third Highness has been avoiding me like a snake and scorpion these days, and it's obvious that he wants to please Liu Zhao, but Liu Zhao really likes this, as if he really thinks that Liu Yao is lying low and being a petty boy at this moment." Because of their worthless brotherhood in the past," he sneered, "I am an upright gentleman, he is not benevolent and I cannot be unrighteous, after all he recommended me to His Majesty, today is his birthday, of course I need a congratulatory gift."

Yuan Zanbi was at a loss for words for a moment, but he didn't know whether Qiao Yu's I was an honest gentleman or something else that made him speechless.

"Since you said that His Highness the Third is trying to curry favor with His Highness the Fifth, that's why he returned..." Yuan Zanbi said uncertainly.

Qiao Yu said: "The servant who came to return the congratulatory instrument said: Your Majesty is still ill. As a son of man, the Third Highness really shouldn't accept gifts. Your Highness said that he knows Xiang Xiang's intentions. He also sent back all the congratulatory gifts from other adults. Also ask Qiao Xiang to take back the gift."

Yuan Zan wrote: "The etiquette is thorough."

A Bi stretched out her claws to Ruyi again, seeing that neither of them responded, she became more courageous and patted the jade Ruyi hard.

Qiao Yu took out Ruyi, compared it to A Bi's neck, and said, "I ordered people to cut holes at both ends, how about hanging it on A Bi's neck?"

Yuan Zan stroked A Bi's smooth hair, "I'm afraid I can't, and even if I can, many people can see A Bi get on and off the car every day."

Qiao Yu asked suspiciously, "Will someone see you and steal Ruyi?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "The Third Highness will also see it."

Qiao Yu waved his hand, as if he didn't care.

It is unknown whether there will be any third prince after today.

Qiao Yu leaned against Yuanzanbi, and although Yuanzanbi was defenseless, he hugged him immediately.

Qiao Yu clung to his waist and whispered in a low voice, "Master Yuan, do you like Liu Zhao very much?"

Yuan Zanbi responded puzzledly: "Of course I don't like it."

Qiao Yu said: "What I'm asking is the love between men and women?"

Yuan Zanbi asked rhetorically, "What I should like is the love between men and women?"

Qiao Yu's eyes lit up, "Third Prince... Forget it, I don't need to ask. If Liu Zhao and Liu Yao stood in front of you together, you would definitely choose Liu Zhao."

Yuan Zan pen lowered his eyes, and Qiao Yu leaned on him. Because he couldn't see his eyes, but only saw his beautiful side face, he looked very obedient. Looking down, it was a slender neck with ups and downs of his Adam's apple "Why do I have to choose?"

Qiao Yu sighed, "With your identity, if you don't come to choose, someone will take the initiative to come to you and beg you to choose. You are loyal to His Majesty? What's the use of that? Even if Your Majesty can survive this period of time, take care of yourself." It will be raised, and there will not be a few years to live." The poison has penetrated into the bone marrow, and what Qiao Yu said was extremely euphemistic. "I heard that the Ministry of Rites is already preparing birthday materials. The things are complicated, so it's good to prepare early."

He waited for a long time but didn't wait for Yuan Zanbi to answer. He felt uneasy in his heart, but he still had a nonchalant expression on his face.

He and Yuan Zanbi get along all day long, and their temper is much better than the previous capriciousness. Yuan Zanbi has a tacit understanding with him, and their hearts are like a tacit understanding. There is annoyance when facing idiot subjects, not to mention facing someone he likes, Qiao Yi never brings the anger from officialdom to his home, Qiao Yu is deeply affected by it, how can he get along well with Yuan Zanbi?

However, after calming down his heart for many days, he suddenly felt like wildfire starting a prairie fire, and the flames picked up the wind and intensified.

He looked up, Yuan Zan was thinking about something expressionlessly, and two or three points of extremely complicated emotions were condensed on his handsome face.

He thought, are you feeling sorry for the emperor?What's so good about the emperor?He is ruthless, suspicious, suspicious, and never thinks about things. Although he was persecuted by the courtiers in the Ningyou ten-year case, he didn't have to kill so many innocent people. His loyal courtiers were abandoned by him like shoes. Even the closest relatives don’t believe it, and the parents and children can continue to suppress him, forcing him to rebel and then kill him, acting like he has no choice but to kill so many people and do so many wrong things, and he even killed your brother... Yuan What an amazing and talented person Zanying is, what is left of him when he dies is a sick bone?

Are you loyal to him?

What are you loyal to him for?

You are extremely loyal to the emperor and he will not believe you. If you want to be a pure minister, are you going to follow the old path of Yuan Zanying?

Qiao Yu couldn't help tightening her grip on Yuan Zanbi's clothes.

Yuan Zan returned to his senses and said, "What's the matter, mid-month?"

Qiao Yu snapped back to his senses, and slowly let go of his blue fingers.

"I was thinking about something just now," Qiao Yu murmured, "I was in a trance. Did I hurt you?"

Yuan Zanbi shook his head and said, "No, be careful of hand pain."

Qiao Yu took a deep breath, and when he looked up at the Yuanzan pen with a relaxed smile on his face, he said casually, "I don't know what went wrong today, many people felt unwell after dinner, and the imperial doctors one by one After checking, I found out that the mushrooms in a soup for dinner were poisonous, and no one noticed it when cooking."

Yuan Zanbi nodded, having nothing to say.

Qiao Yu said: "Many soldiers have been poisoned, but it is said that the poison is mild, and they will be fine after drinking the medicinal soup and sleeping."

Yuan Zanbi just looked at him and didn't speak.

Qiao Yu touched his face to make sure that his expression was not ferocious at all, "What's the matter?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "It's nothing."

Qiao Yu was never someone who would pay attention to such things unless a battle was imminent.

Qiao Yu yawned, and said somewhat vaguely: "The previous leader of the imperial army is still in prison because of the prince, and the new one has nothing to do, and the current dark tide is surging, so I really dare not make any claims."

"Why don't you ask the two Highnesses?"

"With the previous one as an example, he didn't dare. He had received two or three favors from me in a short time, and he came to ask me specifically, so I asked him to change a group of people to guard the tents of His Majesty, the two princes, and your relatives and ministers." , it's not an important matter." Qiao Yu said casually.

What Qiao Yu can say out of the box is either something extremely important or something trivial.

Yuan Zan inserted his hand into his long hair and rubbed it gently twice.

There were bursts of silk and bamboo sounds outside the tent.

Qiao Yu half closed her eyes, "It's Liu Yao's side."

……

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Zhao thought that he had talked with Liu Yao before, and besides, the capital was close at hand. Although he could not be said to be completely relaxed in the tent, he was only a little bit vigilant.

From time to time, patrol sergeants walked by, and the sound of armor colliding came in faintly.

There were only two people in the tent, Liu Yao and Liu Zhao. There used to be musicians and singers for fun, but after that they wanted to say something they didn't want to spread, so they pushed everyone away.

Liu Yao drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, his face was already flushed, he seemed to be really unconscious, the glass fell from his hand, he grabbed the falling glass, half of his body leaned on the table, his forehead pressed against Sitting on the table, looking down, he said with a vague smile, "I got it."

Liu Zhaodao; "Third brother, I drank too much."

Liu Yao struggled to get up, carrying the glass with a little residual wine, staggered down, and said vaguely: "Fifth brother arrived in the city, what do you want to do with Qiao Yu?" He was full of alcohol, and his eyes were chaotic , he drank much more than Liu Zhao.

Liu Zhao was also three points drunk, and said, "What do you think?"

Liu Yao sneered and said, "Such a country thief who steals the country and seizes power, and you and my brother are in the middle for your own benefit, so you should be killed." The venom of the skin.

Liu Zhao looked at him with a smile and said, "How to kill?"

Liu Yao slammed the wine glass down on the table, and said in a bitter voice, "Dividing a corpse by five horses, even nine tribes, is not enough to satisfy the hatred in my heart." With a threatening face, "Qiao Yu has a vicious mind, but there is still merit in the face around her."

Liu Zhaodao: "Third brother's words are somewhat meaningful."

He filled Liu Yao with wine.

Liu Yao snatched his wine glass.

Liu Zhao was stunned for a moment.

Liu Yao looked at him provocatively, put his lips against the rim of the cup but didn't drink, just smiled and said, "Fifth brother, why don't you drink?"

Liu Zhao stared at him intently, and said, "Because third brother took my wine glass."

Liu Yao raised his chin towards the full wine glass and said, "Isn't that a wine glass?" He drank the wine while speaking.He drank casually, almost drinking half of it and spilling the other half, and the small half dripped on the skirt of his clothes.

Liu Zhao had never seen him so drunk before, he laughed and shook his head, picked up Liu Yao's wine glass, and drank it all.

Liu Yao narrowed his eyes and smiled at him.

Liu Zhaodao: "Why does third brother look at me like this?"

Liu Yao shook his head, and stumbled towards his seat. Liu Zhao was afraid that he would fall, so he got up to help him, but Liu Yao threw him away.

Liu Yao turned his head, whether it was because he was drunk or sleepy, his eyes seemed wet.

Liu Zhao felt weak and fell back to the chair.

He secretly thought that he could drink too little, he was already drunk after just a little.

Liu Yao walked back to his seat.

The tent was not big, and the road was extremely short, but he seemed to have drunk too much, walking slowly and staggeringly.

He finally walked to his place, sat down, and suddenly said: "Miss Shu is very good to me. When you were young, you had a dispute with me. No matter who is right or wrong, Mistress Shu, the first thing she did was to hit you a few times." Board, then give me a bunch of food and gadgets, and ask a bunch of young, beautiful, sweet-mouthed little maids to coax me."

Liu Zhao also laughed, "Third brother actually still remembers this."

Liu Yao said: "Why don't you remember these things? My mother is not from a high family background, her status is not high, and she is very timid. There are few concubines in the palace who are friendly with my mother, and they only have face and affection for me. Only Mistress Shu treats me equally and treats me like my own son."

Liu Zhao felt his eyes were hot, he tilted his head slightly, and said with a smile, "When I get back to the palace, third brother will go talk to my mother about these things by himself."

Liu Yao just smiled and shook his head.

He and Liu Yao have gradually drifted away since the establishment of the mansion, and he has not seen Concubine Shu for many years, and only saves the face of seeing Concubine Shu during the holidays. Now that he goes to see Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu must be very surprised.

Liu Yao murmured: "I remember that the first time I drank wine with you, the wine we stole from the wine cellar, you go and steal it, I am watching the wind, and I was..." The prince saw it, and the prince was only fifteen years ago. He taught them a lesson with a straight face, saying that if you don't ask yourself, you are a thief, how can a gentleman do such a thing, and the two of them are uneasy, and then waved their hands and let them go. During the meal, someone from the palace brought a fine flower carving, saying that the crown prince sent it. He hurriedly closed his mouth, but his voice was low, so Liu Zhao didn't hear it, "It's really good wine, it's soft in the mouth, sober after drinking Come, no headache."

The past that he thought he had forgotten came back to his mind after drinking.

He even remembered asking himself, "Why doesn't the prince brother come to drink with us?"

The palace man replied: "The prince was called out of the study by His Majesty to ask about his homework."

That tear seems to be in the eye socket.

Liu Zhao only listened to him talking to himself, and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, brother?"

Liu Yao said loudly: "I said, the first time I drank alcohol was with you!"

Liu Zhaodao: "The first time I drank alcohol was also with my third brother."

Liu Yao smiled.

Liu Zhao felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, but his body was getting lighter and lighter, as if lying on a ball of cotton.

He could barely open his eyes, and said, "Third brother?" His voice was also very soft, like raving, but he didn't realize it, and thought he had exhausted all his strength.

"Yanyan is light and graceful, Yingying is delicate and soft, and she clearly sees Huaxu again." Liu Yao said: "This medicine is called Huaxu, and it means a dream."

Liu Zhao could no longer hear.

Hua Xu is non-toxic, and can only anesthetize the senses. A few breaths of the drug on a fingernail is enough to bring down a fierce horse. This is the drug used by the border people to hunt ferocious wild horses.As long as this medicine is taken, even if someone cuts off the flesh of the person taking the medicine, the other party will only think it is a mosquito bite.

Liu Yao looked at Liu Zhao's face.

All the food and drinks at the banquet are non-toxic, and the chopsticks and utensils are not soaked with poison.

Only the cup that Liu Yao almost fell to the ground, at the moment when it was about to hit the ground and was borrowed by him, was bounced into a little bit of Hua Xu that had been hidden in his nails.

Hua Xu can make people fall into extremely beautiful dreams, and what his elder brother did is not completely without merit.

"You drank with me the last time."

The tears that were about to fall, finally fell.

He slammed the cup hard.

His personal guards rushed in immediately, and several people surrounded Liu Zhao as planned in advance. A dozen or so blades pierced heavily. To flow to Liu Yao's feet.

A sergeant drew out the soldier amulet that Liu Zhao carried with him with his sword, poured wine to clean the blood, and offered it with both hands.

The tears on Liu Yao's face were blown by the wind and dried up.

Liu Yao took the soldier talisman.

He shook it hard, and the soldier amulet hurt his palm.

In fact, no pain is needed to confirm that this is real, because the bloody smell on the soldier talisman is still lingering even after being washed with strong alcohol.

At this time, the Imperial Guard arrived, and the leader of the Imperial Guard turned pale with shock, "Your Highness," he tried not to tremble too much, "A certain general is not good at guarding..."

Liu Yao interrupted him lightly: "Just now, an assassin broke in and injured the fifth younger brother. The fifth younger brother was seriously injured. He ordered me to keep the soldier talisman." He should have shown extreme distress, but apart from the tears just now, he seemed unable to cry In general, "Tell the imperial physician."

Didn't the commander of the forbidden army know that what Liu Yao said was the final conclusion?Then he cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Liu Yao felt that the smell of blood in the tent was too strong, so he walked out.

From time to time, people anxiously ran in and out of his tent.

The originally pitch-black tents lit up one by one, like stars.

Liu Yao stood there blowing the wind until Yun Pei put a robe on his shoulders.

Liu Yao turned his head and saw the face of his confidant who couldn't hide his joy. He was silent for a moment and said, "Does Your Majesty know?"

Yun Pei paused, "Your Majesty vomited blood."

Liu Yao didn't speak for a long time, and when Yun Pei thought he would not ask again, Liu Yao said: "Then, what did you say, Your Majesty?"

Yun Pei said: "The palace servants who served His Majesty said that His Majesty asked why the imperial guards didn't hear the movement, and the sergeants who were sent back to protect the nobles were replaced by another group because they were unwell, and His Majesty suddenly vomited blood. The palace people were in a mess, Hurriedly went to the imperial doctor, His Majesty seemed to gritted his teeth and said before passing out that he is my good son."

Are they all my good sons?Liu Yao opened his mouth and smiled.

One is talking about him, and the other is talking about Liu Zhao?But this is clearly a resentment, how could it be Liu Zhao?

Originally he just wanted to laugh, but he couldn't seem to stop, and he didn't want to make it too obvious, so he had to lean on Yunpei's shoulder.

Yun Pei felt that Liu Yao was trembling with laughter.

Liu Yao smiled and said, "It turns out that it's so easy."

The soldier talisman was in his hand, and it fell heavily.

……

The two quickly finished talking about changing defenses.

The leader of the forbidden army felt that Qiao Yu had already spoken, so even if something happened, it had nothing to do with him, so he was relieved.

He said goodbye, strode out, and was about to go out, but Qiao Yu suddenly said: "Today is His Highness Third's birthday, if there is any noise in His Highness's tent, don't go in, His Highness doesn't want anyone to go in and disturb you."

The leader of the forbidden army was slightly stunned.

Qiao Yu smiled, "The new emperor will always replace a group of cronies in important positions, for example, your position. You and the truth are still on good terms. Even if there are not many people who know it, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be someone in the future." Tell the new emperor that there is only a single word difference between deputy and principal, some people will take more than ten years, and some people will hardly change in a lifetime. It is not easy to be an official." He turned his face and looked carefully, only to see Qiao Yu holding his mouth. smiling eyes.

He is not a fool, how could he not understand what Qiao Yu meant?

There must be something big to turn things around tonight.

He didn't dare to think about it, he didn't dare to think about it.

But what Qiao Yu asked him to do was very simple, just not to disturb.

If it fails, no one will be able to hold him accountable; if it succeeds, it is due to the dragon.

"I will understand in the end." He replied.

The author has something to say:

I still have a fever, and I wrote it after the fever subsides.Everyone, take care of yourselves.
