Just when Jia Cong took people out of the palace to investigate the case of Gumantong, orderly life in the palace had been restored.
Despite the fact that it was a dead baby and a witch and ghost, in fact, this matter did not cause much trouble in the palace.
The imperial concubine Yang saw that the palace people had even washed the bluestones on the ground, and left Fengzao Palace with Concubine De and the concubines who were watching the fun. Chinese website
Yuanchun just felt nauseous for the first time. The imperial doctor came over to check his pulse, said it was okay, and prescribed a calming and soothing decoction, and everything became calm and comfortable again.
Liu Heng was a very attentive person. After Fengzao Palace returned to calm, he still stayed and had lunch with Yuan Chun. He even took Yuan Chun's hand and took a leisurely walk in the yard to eat.
Baoqin made a good cup of tea, and the fragrance wafted over it. The two of them came to the pavilion, and Liu Heng thoughtfully spread the soft cushions on the stone bench.
Like an ordinary folk couple, the two talked about Yuanchun's unborn child, but they didn't even mention the previous turmoil.
"Don't worry Yuan'er, as long as I'm here, this palace can't be overturned!"
With the transition of power, Liu Heng became more and more confident.
Motoharu's face was full of admiration and reassurance, and he smiled softly and said, "As long as Shiro is here, I will never worry about this."
This short sentence made Liu Heng feel compassionate, and he raised his hand to touch Yuan Chun's increasingly delicate face.
Like the peonies in full bloom, Yuanchun has become more and more beautiful since becoming a concubine. The advantages of the Jia family seem to be condensed in this young girl from Rongguo Mansion, who is gentle, dignified and considerate.
Even Liu Heng, who had never been interested in women, preferred to stay in Fengzao Palace during his breaks.
Baoqin quietly waved to the maid serving in the pavilion with a wink, and then all the others withdrew except Baoqin, who was standing nearby waiting for the call at any time.
Liu Heng was concerned about the fetus in Yuanchun's belly, so he did not ask for too much. He and Yuanchun even thought about the names of their future children.
It was quiet in the pavilion, and both of them avoided their troubles. After chatting for a while, Liu Heng felt that his whole body felt much more relaxed.
When talking about the hunting at Tienwang Mountain this autumn, Motoharu said with great regret: "I originally wanted to go to Tienwang Mountain to see Shiro's heroic appearance during the hunting season this autumn, but I'm afraid I won't be able to go now."
"What's the matter? If it doesn't work this year, there will be next year. Then I will take you to gallop on a horse."
Liu Heng felt the warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms, and suddenly thought of something embarrassing, and started groping with his big hands...
When Xia Shouzhong rushed back to the palace, his whole crotch was burning.
He was galloping all the way and arrived at Fengzao Palace without even having time to change his clothes.
Yuanchun's clothes were full of wrinkles and his hairpin was crooked. He blushed and was helped down by Baoqin.
Liu Heng felt that his beautiful life was being disturbed, and he snorted displeasedly: "You really know how to choose the right time..."
The emperor's cold snort made Xia Shouzhong confused. He was about to apologize skillfully when he heard the emperor say: "Sit down and talk."
The relationship between the two is not only that of monarch and minister, but also that of old friends who support each other.
Liu Heng handed a cup of tea to Xia Shouzhong. After his thirst was relieved, he asked, "Didn't I ask you to go check the Dabaoen Temple? Where is Jia Congren?"
Xia Shouzhong spoke eloquently: "Your Majesty, this old slave and General Xiao Jia went straight to Da Baoen Temple after leaving the city... After arriving at Xiaoguozhuang, they encountered a murder case... This matter involved the Thirteenth Master, this old slave I have to return to Beijing urgently and ask the Emperor for advice."
"Old Thirteen? Impossible. If Old Thirteen did it, wouldn't my siblings hang him up and whip him?"
Liu Heng's first reaction was exactly the same as Xia Shouzhong's. Cui was not as gentle as she seemed. Behind the old Thirteenth Mansion, every one of the warblers and swallows in the backyard was not tamed and obedient by her.
Why did Lao Shisan gain a reputation as a good man? Apart from others throwing dirt on him, he must have the courage to be a good womanizer!
Xia Shouzhong smiled bitterly and said: "I think so too, Your Majesty, someone is probably throwing dirt on the Thirteenth Master, and the little Guo Village is extremely unusual. Jia Cong has already sent people to mobilize troops."
Liu Heng nodded, but he didn't expect that after digging into this matter, he would pull out a bunch of information.
"You go find Lao Shisan. Since his wife has been kidnapped by him, why don't you just ask him?"
"Your Majesty, you..."
Xia Shouzhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but when he saw the emperor waving his hands away impatiently, he could only drink the tea in the cup in one gulp and hurriedly retreated.
After cleaning up, Yuanchun returned to the gentle and dignified Xiuli Palace Concubine. She smiled and said: "Silang is really bad. This is obviously framed. Silang also provoked the Thirteenth Master to go out and make trouble, in case other princes are involved. Come on, aren't we going to make a big fuss?"
Liu Heng waved to Yuan Chun and said with a smile: "How can we watch the show if the trouble doesn't get too big? Let Old Thirteen make trouble. If the trouble gets too big, I can take action."
Liu Ke was ill, very ill.
He was lying on a rocking chair, his sick hands and legs unable to move. With a spoon in hand, Princess Cui peeled oranges with her own hands and fed them to her seriously ill husband.
"Fourth brother is getting better and better at summoning people. I just came back from Shandong, and he wants to send me to Shanhaiguan again, and prevents people from enjoying it..."
Smash it, smash it, this orange is quite sweet.
Liu Ke opened his mouth but didn't even open his eyes.
Princess Cui smiled and secretly stuffed a sour orange into his mouth...
"Hey! You woman..."
"how?"
When Liu Ke saw his wife stabbing him, he immediately smiled and said, "You are simply the best woman in the world!"
Princess Cui immediately smiled and stuffed a sweet orange into her mouth. Liu Ke smashed it and swallowed it. The two looked at each other and smiled...
The eldest son Liu Chong, who had just walked into the courtyard with a stack of ledgers in his arms, happened to see this scene and suddenly felt that he had just hit a big lemon.
He looked at the thick account book in his hand with grief and anger, and was about to cry: together with his father, the queen, mother and concubine, they left the housekeeping affairs of the house to him, not to take on an important responsibility, but for their freedom!
"Father, the tents for this autumn have been sorted."
Liu Ke picked his ears: "Huh? Madam, I seem to hear my son calling me?"
Princess Cui glanced at the gate of the courtyard and stuffed an orange wedge into Liu Ke's mouth: "There are no sons here. You heard wrong. Go on, what else is interesting about the Kong family?"
Well……
Liu Chong stood dumbfounded on the spot. Could it be that his son was picked up from a smelly ditch?
"Madam is right, my son is not as interesting as the gossip of the Kong family!"
Liu Kechong quietly gestured to his expressionless son and continued: "Where did you talk about just now? Oh, the eighteenth concubine of Yan Shenggong, right? To say that this Yan Shenggong is also interesting, she is already 70 years old. , he actually fell in love with his fourteen-year-old yellow flower daughter..."
Liu Chong, who was at the gate of the courtyard, was about to exit when he saw his personal attendant coming over: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Xia who is with you is here."
Although the chamberlain's voice was not loud, Liu Ke still heard it clearly.
His ears twitched and he immediately started to oooh and ahhh.
The corner of Princess Cui's mouth twitched. Her husband was really... a child at heart. In order to prevent being forced to take on a big responsibility, he pretended to be sick.
"Chong'er, go ask Eunuch Xia to come over..."
"Don't! I'm still sick!"
With a rosy complexion and a leisurely life, how could he look like a patient?
Princess Cui glared at her unreliable husband: "How could the fourth uncle not know what your situation is? It's been so long since you handed in the report of illness, and the fourth uncle didn't even send an imperial doctor... Chong'er, Go quickly, don't make people wait too long."
"Ouch, ouch..."
Before Xia Shouzhong entered the courtyard, he heard wailing in the courtyard.
He raised his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, what's causing the Thirteenth Master's trouble?"
Liu Chong smiled bitterly and said, "My father is complaining to my uncle."
Isn't that right? I've been galloping all the way to Shandong. Why don't you let your fourth brother use money to coax you?
Xia Shouzhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This man's temperament was still so unique that it made people laugh.
But I wonder if Master Thirteen will be able to lie down comfortably later!
"Old slave, I would like to say hello to the Thirteenth Master, and I would like to say hello to the princess."
Princess Cui hurriedly waved her hand and said: "We are all our own people. There is no need to be polite to Xia Daban. Please sit down quickly. Chong'er, serve tea to Xia Daban."
"Thank you, ma'am."
They were indeed all on their own, so Xia Shouzhong didn't show any courtesy and sat on a chair nearby.
Liu Ke was still saying "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh," Xia Shouzhong said with a smile: "The Thirteenth Master is seriously ill. How about I return to the palace now? Your Majesty, please send Mr. Yu to come and take a look at you?"
What? Let that bug guy come and treat me?
Liu Ke suddenly felt excited when he thought of those colorful bugs.
"Oh, I'm actually better!"
Liu Ke sat up immediately, with a look of joy on his face.
The acting was so fake that the other three people twitched their mouths and couldn't bear to look at him.
No one exposed Liu Ke's poor acting skills. After a moment of silence, Liu Ke realized that Xia Shouzhong's clothes were dusty.
"Lao Xia, were you... robbed?"
"Who dares to rob this old slave? This old slave is rushing back to the capital from outside the city. He has something urgent to tell Master Thirteen..."
Xia Shouzhong told today's events exactly. The previous events were fine. Although this kind of thing was not common in the palace, it was expected. Just treat it as gossip.
It wasn't until Xia Shouzhong talked about the incident at Xiaoguozhuang that Princess Cui, who had been eating melons, started to look unkindly.
hehe……
Liu Ke felt a chill on his back and secretly glanced at Princess Cui.
"Madam, Madam, Xiu'er! Listen to me, this is slander, this is framed by Chi Guoguo! Madam, you are the only one in my heart!"
He's a good princess in every way, but she likes to be sour and jealous, and...he can't beat her!
"Really? I also know that I am old and have a jealous temper. How can I compare with someone else's beauty and beauty..."
Princess Cui didn't know her husband's temperament. She probably saw too much harem strife in the palace back then and was extremely tired of the intrigues and intrigues.
He didn't even bother to pay attention to the warblers and swallows in the backyard. Why do you want to take concubines if you are tired of them? There was nothing he could do. He was an unpopular prince back then, and Empress Zhen forced her to live in his backyard. What could he do?
Just think of raising a cat or a dog. Anyway, the palace is not short of a pair of chopsticks.
The princess looked pitiful, and Liu Ke felt pity for her. He completely ignored his son and Xia Shouzhong, stood up and hugged his wife: "What did you say? Who among the women in the world can compare to you?"
Liu Chong only felt that this place was extremely sweet, so he covered his eyes and pretended not to see it.
Xia Shouzhong couldn't tell that the two of them were flirting, like taking a bite of sour grapes, and secretly cursed Master Thirteen for not being a human being.
Doing this in front of a man like me, who is not a man, is there any law? Are there any laws?
Play comes back to play, but when it comes to business, Liu Ke and Princess Cui are both very measured people.
"My wife, I will rest for now while my husband goes to find out whoever is causing trouble for my wife. Come on, beat the drum, gather the generals, and follow me out of the city!"
Horse hooves traveled southward in bursts. As soon as they arrived outside Anding Gate, they met Jia Shiyi, who was coming on horseback.
"Eleven, why are you back?"
Jia Shiyi stopped his horse, clasped his fists and said, "Thirteenth Master, Eunuch Xia, I have caught a big fish this time..."
Guo Xiaosi died, but Guo Xing never dreamed that Jia Cong was never a person who acted by the rules.
He had already gathered manpower and was preparing to move the things fired in the blast furnace as soon as possible, but before he could lower the temperature in the furnace, the entire Zhuangzi was surrounded by large legions.
Jia Cong did not expect this to happen. Xia Shouzhong noticed something unusual at that time. The people who stayed behind to monitor overheard the conversation between Guo Xing and his son. Without hesitation, they quietly left Zhuangzi and quickly followed the Long Imperial Guard.
Mark of the genus arrived in the town.
"Fan Ren? Are you saying that Pan Yichen's death was caused by Fan Ren? Where is Fan Ren?"
Hearing Jia Cong's inquiry, the spy bowed and said: "When General Mo left Zhuangzi, he quietly followed Guo Xing's second son Guo Kun and took a look. These people were dark and thin. Judging from their clothes, they looked very similar to each other. South Vietnamese."
"South Vietnamese? Shouldn't they be Siamese?"
When Jia Cong heard about Fan people, his first reaction was that he was a Siamese mage who was proficient in witchcraft such as Gumantong. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a South Vietnamese.
No matter what, arrest him first and then talk about it!
"Captain Ma, lead your men to follow them personally. After these people leave Xiaoguozhuang, you will tie them up. No matter whether they are South Vietnamese or Siamese, if they dare to kill people in Daxia, they will be tried. It’s not good to taste Daxia’s sword!”
The efficiency of the Dragon Guards was still very high. Not long after, the miserable wailing sounded again in the restaurants in the town...
There are not many people in the world who can withstand the torture of the Dragon Guards. These people are indeed South Vietnamese, and they are also dead soldiers of the South Vietnamese army.
The ancient mantong sent to Fengzao Palace was also their work, but the purpose made Jia Cong almost feel that his IQ had been insulted.
"You're so crazy. You actually want to use illusory curses from ghosts and gods to murder the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty. What are these people putting in their minds?"
Two thousand cavalry were murderous, and the leader was Feng Ziying's father, Shenwu General Feng Tang.
The veteran general took action, and the army quickly arrived at the outskirts of Xiaoguozhuang. They spread out in all directions like piercing pockets, and surrounded the small Xiaoguozhuang.
When Liu Ke and Xia Shouzhong arrived, all the men, women, and children in Zhuangzi were driven to the grain drying field.
"Brother Cong, that Guo Xing and his son are missing!"
Feng Tang frowned and looked around. It was really strange. The imperial army was so fast that there was no reason for an old farmer to escape.
This is not a mountainous valley with complicated terrain. The flat terrain makes it impossible for people to escape from the siege of the Forbidden Army.
Jia Cong clasped his fists and said, "Excuse me, uncle, and send someone to search carefully. Guo Xing is the main purpose of this operation. We must not let them escape."
Feng Tang nodded and went down personally to arrange for a careful search.
Liu Ke was already going to whip someone with a riding crop, and his angry interrogation could be heard from a distance: "Tell me, which bitch who is not afraid of death dares to pretend to be my king?"
The crackling sound of whips and the incessant screams made Jia Cong upset. Guo Xing hadn't been found yet, so some things couldn't be fully understood...
"General Qi, brothers found some strange things in Guo Xing's home..."
The dark brown objects were tightly wrapped in oil paper. According to reports, these objects were piled up in an entire room.
Xia Shouzhong couldn't help but blurt out: "So much hibiscus paste! Are these the goods those South Vietnamese people say?"
Jia Cong nodded and looked at the earthen blast furnace that was still emitting black smoke: "What a good plan. He used hibiscus paste to harm us Daxia people, and then used hibiscus paste to exchange for gold and iron to strengthen his own strength. It seems that South Vietnam has really forgotten how it knelt at the feet of the envoys of the Celestial Dynasty and begged!"
