Chen Zhuoxin heard that the sisters of the Ji family "robbed" Hong Peiju's niece, Baojiang, who was going to be given to uncle Jiao Xianfei as a stepmother, and Hong Peiju became very angry!
When Chen Zhuoxin heard this, he smiled softly. This was not surprising. The little girl was at the age when she was full of energy and yearned for "heroic and righteous actions". When your mind gets hot, you can take action with righteousness!
Next, Chen Zhuoxin couldn’t laugh anymore!
Yin Hong told him that the Ji sisters had news about the "Blood Lan Pearl".
"Then why don't you snatch the one named Bao Chang?" Chen Zhuoxin's eyebrows were cold and he was a little restless.
Once, the "Blood Orb" was very close to him, but the "Blood Orb" was like a "gust of wind" slipping from his hand and could no longer be obtained!
Yin Hong was shocked and knelt down on one knee.
"My lord, please forgive me! I sent three groups of experts to the Hou Mansion, but none of them succeeded!"
"Why?" Chen Zhuoxin's brows furrowed even more tightly, like a door lock that couldn't be opened.
Yin Hong didn't dare to get up, lowered his head and replied carefully,
"The Duke Li's Mansion and the two princes have sent troops near the Marquis Mansion and Dangui Garden."
"Hmph, so what? Is it possible that the masters of our government are useless? If we can't catch Baochang, we can still have some room for bargaining if we catch the people in Dangui Garden, right?"
Yin Hong became even more panicked and explained carefully,
"Some of the masters in our Duke's Mansion are people from the martial arts world, and some are warriors from Bei Liao. They are no worse than them, but -"
Yin Hong stopped talking.
"Go on!" Chen Zhuoxin was a little dissatisfied.
Yin Hong said hurriedly,
"The girl from the Ji family is very cunning. She has ambushed many wild dogs inside and outside the house. These dogs are very sensitive to smells and very alert to danger. The girl from the Ji family sprinkled a kind of medicinal powder on the masters sent by Li Mi and the prince. These dogs are at peace with them. As for our people, as long as they go to the Hou Mansion once, if they go there a second time, they will be recognized by the dogs from a distance, and then they will be eliminated by Li Mi's people!"
"What if different people are sent each time?" Chen Zhuoxin's brows did not relax, but his expression softened a little. He gently raised his hand to signal Yin Hong to stand up.
Yin Hong stood up hurriedly, with a look of shame and anger on his face.
"Even if it is the first time to go to the Marquis Mansion, because the smell is completely different, the dogs will find it, and a fight will be inevitable. Although you can escape unscathed, it is basically impossible to go back to the house to rob people."
A trace of amusement flashed in Chen Zhuoxin's eyes. For a while, Chen Zhuoxin seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be discussing with Yin Hong.
"Would it be more convenient if someone from the Hou Mansion takes action?"
Dogs must be familiar with the scent of people in the Hou family.
In Danguiyuan, Shaoyao, Zhuye and others started grinding medicinal powder again and making medicine packets.
Baochang knew that this was also helping him, so he also did needlework with Haitang.
Haitang asked a little worriedly,
"Miss, our people in Danguiyuan always have to come in and out, and it is inevitable to come into contact with people in the Hou's Mansion. If Chen Guogong bribes our people in the Hou's Mansion, wouldn't it be impossible for us to guard against it?"
Ji Jun pretended to stroke his non-existent beard and said,
"Don't worry, the mountain man has a clever plan!"
Ophiopogon japonicus was tinkering somewhere with a pestle. Hearing this, he asked curiously,
"Miss, what a wonderful idea! Can you tell me about it? Are you still keeping it a secret from us?"
Shaoyao stretched and said,
"Nothing! Actually——"
"Shaoyao! If you say one more thing, I won't allow you to eat!" Ji Jun shouted hurriedly!
Shaoyao suddenly became alert and immediately covered her mouth with her hands, shaking her head desperately at Ophiopogon japonicus!
Although Mai Dong knew that Ji Jun had his own intentions, he looked a little unhappy and said,
"It seems that there are many friends near and far at Miss's place!"
Ji Min pursed his lips and smiled,
"Is Ophiopogon japonicus still jealous?"
Then, he walked up to Maidong and whispered a few words in his ear. As he listened, Maidong's eyes got bigger and bigger, and then he covered his mouth as tightly as Peony!
In Fuyuan Palace, Concubine Jiao Xian was a little dissatisfied and asked the fifth prince,
"Why are you speaking out for Northern Juzi? If you offend Chen Guogong for this matter, isn't it worth the loss?"
The fifth prince lowered his head and said respectfully,
“My dear concubine, it’s freezing cold in the north, and most of my sons are from poor families. Although they don’t lack clothes or clothes, they are often hungry and cold. Many of my sons study in extremely difficult conditions. The winter there is long, and it’s already dark after Shenshi. Days. In order to study hard, I had to study by candlelight in winter, and the night was cold and windy, especially after Haishi. Many people did not have enough charcoal fires, and their families were poor and did not dare to warm themselves up. At the same time, there were not many enough to keep warm and warm. Clothes have caused many students to get sores on their hands and feet, and many people suffer from rheumatism, asthma and other diseases. Even in the hot summer, they still have to wear very thick clothes, and the slightest breeze will cause unbearable pain all over their bodies. . When the child saw that it was really difficult for them to study, he felt very unbearable."
Concubine Jiao Xian snorted coldly,
"The life and death of these people have nothing to do with you! You should be your prince! Stop causing trouble! What good does it do you to sympathize with them? Don't you know that there must be something hateful about poor people? If they are poor, don't Don’t hold on to unrealistic illusions when you’re studying! What’s wrong with farming in your hometown, marrying a wife and having children?”
The fifth prince's hands were tightly held and loosened in his sleeves, loosened and held again. The disgust in his heart surged. He tried hard to suppress the hatred in his heart. His tone remained calm, respectful and submissive, and he said slowly,
"Mom, please calm down! The child's poor thinking has made the mother worried. The child thinks that students from the North may not be as good as students from the South of the Yangtze River in terms of knowledge. After all, the students from the South of the Yangtze River have enough books, famous teachers, and talents have emerged in large numbers over the past decades. But the students from the North are not as good as the students from the South. Being able to persist in studying under such difficult conditions, this spirit of enduring hardships for the country and the people is also the foundation of my great Zhou Dynasty. After the child reported these thoughts to his father, his father was also deeply touched, and felt that I had great potential. Such students work tirelessly and wholeheartedly to study for the imperial court. They should indeed be given appropriate rewards! But my father did not say that he would deliberately exalt the northern candidates and suppress the southern candidates."
"What? Are your words approved by your father?"
Concubine Jiao Xian's other words all went in and out of one ear, but this sentence shocked Concubine Jiao Xian's spirit!
A trace of sarcasm flashed across the eyes of the fifth prince, but he still said modestly,
"Yes, my father praised the child for his benevolent heart and his wholehearted consideration for the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the country and the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He praised the child for being unselfish and thoughtful in everything he encountered. He rewarded the child with many rare things. The child chose I brought some particularly rare ones to my mother and concubine, and some small trinkets for my thirteenth brother. I also asked my mother and concubine to tell me if I can give some gifts to the other brothers, too?"
When Concubine Jiao Xian heard that the emperor had praised the fifth prince, she immediately smiled and said,
"Oh, it turns out that the emperor has received the approval of the Holy One! Then you must listen to your father's words! Don't worry about your brothers. If you send them to others, they will think you are showing off! You, It’s always like this, who is thinking about you when you’re thinking about this and that? It’s not the mother-in-law and your thirteenth brother who are thinking about you!”
The fifth prince looked appropriately grateful.
After Ji Min finished taking the medicine prepared by Ji Jun, he resolutely said to Ji Jun,
"Cousin, you go out and hide for a while. Otherwise, even if you are here, I will not take your medicine anymore. I would rather be unable to cure the disease than drag you down anymore. At least one of us must be able to get out of danger. , This is the only way to have a chance of survival! At least go to the suburbs to hide for a while!"
Ji Jun was helpless, firstly to stabilize Ji Min, and secondly because he was thinking about what to do next.
So Ji Jun pretended to pack her bags with Shaoyao and prepare to flee, but at the same time she asked Li Mi and others to pay close attention to the news about Chen Guogong's mansion. Also, what's going on with Concubine Jiao Xian.
Before Ji Jun could hear the news, Mei Lin came to see Ji Jun.
Mei Lin got straight to the point,
"Are you planning to run away?"
Ji Jun looked at Mei Lin's confident look and did not shy away from it.
"My legs are on me, so I can walk when I want! If you have to say run away, then run away!"
Mei Lin smiled slightly and said,
"I know why you ran away, but I can assure you that Shen Ying's marriage in place of Bao Chang will be absolutely foolproof, but you have to promise me one thing. You have to give me a small bottle of your and Ji Min's Blood."
Ji Jun looked at Mei Lin like a fool,
"You were the uncle who married Shen Ying to Concubine Jiao Xian. What does that have to do with me? Why should I give you blood?"
Mei Lin took time to adjust her hair, then Shi Shiran sat down and said,
"Of course it's because I hold the handle that can control you!"
Ji Jun thought to himself, this is because he can't rob people, and he's starting to deceive them! I couldn't help but become curious,
"What's the reason? Tell me?"
Mei Lin smiled and said,
"Bao Chang!"
Ji Jun chuckled lightly,
"Baochang is your sister. Although she is not your relative, at least she is your cousin. Can you handle me?"
Meilin showed another bright smile taught by the aunt in the palace and said,
"How about I trade Bao Chang's life with you? Bao Chang is poisoned, give me your blood and I'll help her detoxify!"
Ji Jun said coldly,
"Why should I believe that you can detoxify Bao Chang?"
"It's very simple." Mei Lin looked at Ji Jun with a calm gaze.
"Dad poisoned Bao Chang. You can take a look at her back and her knees. There is a red scar as big as a bowl now, but after using the antidote, the red scar will gradually shrink. , until it disappears. You can't cure this poison. Although I can't do anything to you, I decide Bao Chang's life and death, and I know that Bao Chang is useful to you now. The "Blood Misty Pearl" is of no use to me, and I don't care at all. "
Ji Jun suddenly smiled. She raised her eyes to look at Mei Lin, her beautiful eyes full of teasing.
"Sister Meilin is really good at joking! Will Hong Peiju give you the antidote easily? If so, wouldn't it be easier for me to exchange blood for Hong Peiju?"
Mei Lin was neither surprised nor distressed, but laughed at herself and said,
"It makes sense for my sister to say that! In this case, I have one more condition, please come here."
"Miss, don't go there! It's a scam! Miss Meilin, if you have anything to say, just tell me!"
Shaoyao jumped over and stood in front of Ji Jun.
Mei Lin was stunned for a moment, and actually whispered a few words into Shaoyao's ear.
Shaoyao's eyes suddenly stared like bells, and he covered his mouth with both hands. He slowly turned around and looked at Ji Jun, thought for a while, and nodded vigorously!
Mei Lin showed a winning smile and said to Ji Jun and Ji Ni,
"You two sisters, you see, as long as you are both happy, it's easy to close the deal!"
