Zhongshun Prince's Palace occupied Yongfang for nearly half an hour, and the entire palace embodies one word, Hao!
After Jia Cong accompanied the old lady and girls to the palace, he sent congratulatory gifts and was invited to the small courtyard of the eldest son Liu Chong.
After a while, basically everyone including the royal family members and the junior members of the Wuxun family gathered together.
Liu Yuan, the eldest grandson of Prince Ji's Palace, Liu Qi, the eldest son of Prince Wu's Palace, Liu Mu, the eldest son of Prince Jing's Palace, Cao Bin, the eldest nephew of Cao Dudu, the Queen Mother's maiden family, Zhang Yuan, the eldest grandson of the British Duke's father-in-law, and Jia Cong, who is bored and playing with ant holes. Belonging to the topic of the moment.
These six people all received the imperial edict from the palace yesterday, or took charge of leadership in the East Palace, that is, they were named by Zhan Shifu.
The grades may vary, but the highest is no more than four grades.
But this imperial edict united the three most powerful royal families among the royal family and the three most authoritative families in the Wuxun family, becoming the strongest support for the fourth prince Liu Hong who was about to move into the East Palace.
Especially Jia Cong, the little black fat man. His father, Jia Daishan, is the half-brother of the Supreme Emperor. His father, Jia Enhou, followed the former prince since he was a child. Now this boy has become the fourth prince's future East Palace teammate...
Many children of the Wuxun family wailed in their hearts: God, are you blind? why it's not me?
"Good! Good cum!"
There was a burst of cheers, and Liu Yuan actually fired three arrows in a row, which made Jia Cong envious.
Liu Yuan looked at the sky at forty-five degrees, the wind was gentle and the clouds were light. Liu Chong, who was standing next to him, took a bow and arrow and handed it to Jia Cong: "Brother Cong, would you like an arrow?"
He looked at his short arms and legs, and silently took out the slingshot attached to his belt.
"My little brother is not very familiar with the art of archery. I have a slingshot technique that hits every target. How many brothers are willing to compete with me?"
Someone immediately said with disdain: "For such a big man, he can't even draw a bow and shoot an arrow!"
The crowd instantly burst into jeers, but then a childish voice was heard: "Slingshot? Is it the slingshot that broke the assassin's balls at Iron Web Mountain?"
hiss!
Everyone felt a chill in their crotches, clamped their legs together, and took a deep breath.
Most families have news about this matter. Even though Jia Cong is young, he is really ruthless!
A cute child from the crowd came out, holding a small slingshot in his hand. However, it was not a big weapon like Jia Cong that could break eggs. It was probably a toy used by family members to coax children.
Liu Chong raised his head and said, "Brothers, this is my brother Jing."
Princess Zhongshun's youngest son Liu Jing is only six years old this year. Ever since King Zhongshun Liu Ke boasted about Jia Cong's rescue experience for his own son, little Liu Jing has been clamoring for a slingshot...
Do I have a little fanboy?
"Brother, I just shot down a bird with a slingshot..."
After Liu Jing reminded them, everyone noticed that the child was holding a thread in his other hand, and a gray pigeon was tied to the other end of the thread. His wings must have been injured, and he was struggling to escape. Unfortunately, the child was very angry. Proud of his trophy, he dragged it over forcefully.
The chamberlain who was waiting at the side alertly whispered in Liu Chong's ear: "Your Majesty, there is something on the pigeon's leg..."
Not only the chamberlain around Liu Chong noticed the strange behavior of the pigeon, but also many people watching around him noticed it.
"Sorry everyone, I'm sorry to excuse you. I have some family matters that need to be taken care of."
Liu Chong apologized to everyone, then gave a signal to the chamberlain, took the pigeon and his younger brother Liu Jing and hurried to the study.
Although everyone in the courtyard started the game of archery and pot throwing again, they couldn't help but comment on the talent's strangeness.
Not long after, Liu Chong's personal servant came to invite Jia Cong to come over. As soon as he entered the study, he saw Liu Ke, the loyal and shun king, also sitting in the study, and the fourth prince Liu Hong, who had also left the palace at some time.
"Greetings to the prince, is fourth brother here too?"
Liu Hong nodded, and Liu Ke pointed to the chair below.
"Sit down, I called you here because I want to ask you something..."
Liu Ke handed a small note to Jia Cong and asked calmly:
"I heard that a girl from the Xue family of the imperial merchant once received an overseas fairy prescription that can cure heat and poisonous diseases. Do you know about this?"
"Based on the success, the dosage can be increased."
There were only seven words on the note, but Jia Cong immediately broke into a cold sweat. .c
Because the loyal and obedient king Liu Ke said with murderous intent: "The princess has been suffering from fever and poison for a year."
Jia Cong nodded: "Back to your lord, it is indeed true. The prescriptions and prescriptions for the medicine were all given by a monk. Taking it can not only relieve the heat and poison, but also make the person who takes the medicine have a strange smell. But this is not a good thing. , Not only is this medicine hard to find, but the pills made from it also have serious side effects. Your Majesty can send someone to the Imperial Hospital to find Yu Chenglang, he knows a lot about this medicine."
These words are full of admonishment. Xue Baochai now dares not to eat things like Lengxiang Pills. Whenever there is an attack of heat poison, he will grit his teeth and hold on according to Yu Chenglang's prescription.
"Chong'er, go to Rongguo Mansion and ask Xue Pan to come over and ask him to bring the Xue family girl and the medicine. There is also Yu Chenglang from the Imperial Hospital. I want to see what these people are planning!"
It was the thirty-fifth birthday of the Cui family of Prince Zhongshun. All the families in the capital, big and small, sent their matrons and wives to congratulate her.
Today, Jia's mother is bringing the girls of the whole family. She wants her girls to show their faces in front of the ladies of each house, so that they can talk about marriage in the future.
Secondly, Princess Cui's invitation even mentioned that the old lady must bring all the girls and wives in the house because she likes the excitement.
The inner courtyard of the palace was filled with ladies and girls of all sizes. Except for the princesses from various palaces, Princess Cui herself was the junior of the old lady.
The younger brother and sister of the saint, the first person in the royal family, naturally have a different status than ordinary people.
As the host and the birthday girl today, Princess Cui naturally sat in the main seat. On the left are the royal family members, headed by Princess Qin of Ji, followed by various princesses, princesses or princesses.
On the right side are the imperial edicts of various families. Jia Mu is at the top of the list and is talking to Princess Cui and Princess Qin. There is a smile on her face because the girls behind her have been praised by the whole house today, which is so honorable.
"Mother, the prince has invited Mrs. Xue and Miss Xue from the Xue family of the royal merchant to come over and are waiting to meet you outside the palace."
The maid's report caused the originally pleasant atmosphere to fall into an eerie silence, because the only person who could come to the palace to celebrate his birthday today was a seventh-grade official from the capital.
At this time, there is no one sitting in the palace who has no official title, let alone a merchant's home.
Princess Cui had a gentle temperament. Although she was surprised by her husband's unusual behavior, she nodded with a smile and said gently: "It turns out that she is a descendant of Duke Xue, the descendant of Ziwei. Please quickly invite Mrs. Xue and Miss Xue to come in."
The six words spoken by Ziwei, Duke Xue, and Princess Cui suppressed the sarcastic comments in the palace.
The Xue family is a family of merchants, and it was also an imperial merchant who was personally gifted by the saint. The old head of the Xue family was dedicated to finding rare and valuable confidants for the Supreme Emperor.
Otherwise, how could the Xue family be called the four major families of Jinling together with the Jia, Wang, and Shi families?
The old lady breathed a long sigh of relief, frowned and glanced at the ladies who had just mocked the Xue family, and secretly made up her mind to look good to these people whenever she had the chance.
The Xue family is a guest in Rongguo Mansion. To ridicule the Xue family is to slap the Jia family in the face. Her great eldest son, if nothing else, is right. The old woman is the first person in the capital, and Ning Rongjia's family dares to destroy the palace, so what else does she have to be afraid of?
Face is gained by fighting for it!
Mrs. Xue walked into the hall with Baochai. The room full of ladies made her feel extremely uneasy.
It was the birthday of Prince Zhongshun, and the Xue family wanted to hang out in the capital, so naturally they sent expensive and rare gifts early.
However, she also knew that her family's status was low, so she didn't dare to go to the house to celebrate her birthday, so she and her daughter handled matters in the shop at home. Unexpectedly, the prince of the palace came in person and invited the three of them, mother and son, to the palace...
"Ms. Xue, a commoner woman, brought her daughter to pay homage to the princess and wish her a happy life and a long life."
Mrs. Xue and Baochai performed the Wanfu ceremony together, and everyone's attention was attracted by Baochai, who was elegantly dressed.
It is said that the Xue family girls are pretty, and now it seems that they are indeed the case.
Princess Cui raised her hand to support her and said softly: "Mrs. Xue, please get up. We haven't seen each other for twenty years, right?"
Baochai, who helped his mother stand up, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. His mother actually knew the princess?
Mrs. Xue replied respectfully: "Yes, the last time I saw the princess was in the year of Zhaowu."
"It's such a joy to see old friends again."
Princess Cui looked at the faint gray in Mrs. Xue's hair and sighed in her heart.
Among all the daughters of the Wang family, except for the mother of the concubine Xian, the only one left who married into the Xue family is really ironic.
She looked at Baochai beside Mrs.
Baochai is also generous. Xue's father has been strict with Baochai since he was a child, and his every move is not inferior to that of the daughter of a high-ranking family.
Princess Cui looked at Baochai carefully before and after, and put a jade bracelet on Baochai's wrist.
"Mrs. Xue, this child is my favorite. I will bring her to play at home more often. My naughty child should have a role model like Miss Bao."
At this time, Princess Qin, who was sitting on the left side of Princess Ji, suddenly laughed and said: "Shuqing, can it please you? The incense on this child is the same as yours. If you don't believe me, smell it?"
"Incense? I've never used incense!"
Not only Princess Cui was surprised, but Baochai also blurted out in surprise: "No girl has ever used incense."
On the princess's birthday, as the male host of the palace, Liu Ke naturally went to the front hall to entertain guests.
Liu Chong sold his brother and pushed the fourth prince Liu Hong to the front desk to entertain the guests for him. He took Jia Cong and Xue Pan to a remote courtyard, which was guarded inside and outside by personal soldiers.
Snap, snap, snap...
"Tell me, who asked you to poison the princess?"
"woo woo woo woo……"
Snap, snap, snap...
"If you don't say anything yet, I'll let you taste the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire!"
"woo woo woo woo……"
Zhila!
As soon as Jia Cong entered the room, he heard a sizzling sound, and then the smell of feet entered his nose.
Liu Chong also covered his nose, and then asked in a cold voice: "Xie Da, what's wrong?"
"My subordinates pay their respects to the Crown Prince."
A strong man with a whip came up to them, raised his hands to greet them, and then turned his eyes to Jia Cong and Xue Pan, his eyes fierce as an eagle.
"Your Majesty, this slave dog is very tough-talking. His subordinates have been beating him for two quarters of an hour, but he still refuses to say anything."
Jia Cong looked inside and saw that a chamberlain was tied to a bench. His back was full of whip marks, his clothes had been ripped to pieces, and his back was stained red with blood. There was an unknown yellow liquid under the bench. The stinky smell permeated the whole room.
There was an iron object burning in the brazier nearby. The burn marks on the waiter's back must have been caused by this object.
but……
"It's probably not that he's arrogant, but that his mouth is blocked and he can't say anything!"
"oops!"
I saw Xie Da slapped his forehead and grinned. The sinister smile on his face was even more terrifying, causing Xue Pan who was following Jia Cong to take half a step back.
"Looking at my subordinate's memory, I was afraid that this guy would bite his tongue and commit suicide, so I blocked his mouth with a sock..."
What a ruthless person!
Jia Cong watched silently as Xie Da took off the smelly socks from the chamberlain's mouth, then slapped the man on the back with the whip in his hand, and shouted sternly: "Don't tell me, tell me, don't tell me!"
"Um?"
"Your Majesty, it seems that he has fainted. This place is very dirty. Your Majesty, please go outside and wait for a while. I am very familiar with the interrogation. I will definitely find out the mastermind behind the murder of my master!"
Liu Chong naturally didn't want to stay here for a moment, so after hearing this, he took Jia Cong and Xue Pan outside the house.
The three of them were sitting under the pavilion in the small courtyard. Liu Chong and Jia Cong said, "Xie Da is my father's personal soldier. He is good at everything, but he is fierce. With him in the house, my father has never worried about the family." It’s safe. It’s a pity that I took all precautions, but I didn’t expect that there was a thief..."
"Now, although I am not sure that the poison in the princess's hands is the same as the medicine in the hands of the Xue family sister, this kind of secret poison is certainly not available to ordinary people."
Jia Cong sighed and said, "I don't know who set up the trap. If the little prince hadn't accidentally killed the homing pigeon, who would have thought that the medicine that seemed to be taken by the princess turned out to be a strange poison."
"Yes, yes, my sister has also been taking medicine for several years. If Brother Cong hadn't noticed, I might have been kept in the dark."
Xue Pan was also frightened. He patted his chest repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The doctor who plays with bugs at the Imperial Hospital is very good. The medicine he gave my sister last time helped my sister survive the worst of the heat poisoning." a few days."
Jia Cong nodded and comforted: "Brother Xue is right. With Mr. Yu's medical skills, he will always find a way to detoxify. The most important thing now is to find out the mastermind behind this and the person who poisoned him." Intend."
"How can I not worry?"
Liu Chongchong cupped their hands to express his gratitude, but he also said bitterly: "You don't know, the mother-in-law's health was not good to begin with. Her hands and feet were cold all year round, and she was afraid of the cold. Later, she got a prescription, but she didn't expect to get heat poison again. The disease. Later, a folk doctor provided a prescription, and after the treatment of the Taiyuan Hospital, I was able to take it for less than a year. The heat poison was indeed relieved with the naked eye, but unexpectedly this happened today..."
Xue Pan's eyes widened in surprise and looked at Jia Cong who was also surprised.
The two of them thought of Xue Baochai at the same time. The symptoms of these two people were so similar!
