"What!"
Zhao Mengqi stood up in shock, knocking the tea table violently, causing the chair to fall and make a loud bang.
"We have been rescued. Please don't get excited, Your Highness. Although Mrs. Huang is still in a coma, her life is not in danger for the time being." Gu Qing said in a hurry, thinking of stabilizing Prince Zhong first.
"That's good, that's good..."
Hearing that his mother was still alive, Zhao Mengqi breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly became nervous again, "What about my sister!? Is she okay!?"
"The princess was fine. Fortunately, she went to feed and play with her pets at that time. When she went back to accompany Mrs. Huang to have a meal, her small dog must have smelled the poison and knocked over the soup bowl in Mrs. Huang's hand, but she had already drank it. It’s been a few mouthfuls, but fortunately the Savior of the Small Dog was in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.”
Gu Qing deliberately explained the matter in detail, hoping to make Prince Zhong feel more relaxed.
After listening, Zhao Mengqi calmed down a lot, put down his worries, and started to get angry again, "Who did this!?"
Gu Qing hesitated for a moment, "Without careful investigation, we can't draw a conclusion. Everything that came into contact with the food has been controlled. In addition, a steward and a maid died suddenly." He glanced at Zhao Mengqi, and after thinking for a moment, he added He said, "The steward is Concubine Qian's confidant, but..."
"No buts!" Zhao Mengqi raised his hand to interrupt and said solemnly, "You just need to tell me what you know, and I will analyze it myself!"
Gu Qing sighed in his heart. He knew that this Lord had something in his mind and was not so easy to listen to. "As of the time this message is sent out, that's all for the time being. But don't worry, Your Highness, the Imperial City Secretary will keep an eye on this matter." New information will be sent immediately, day or night."
"Concubine Qian should be in the Qian Mansion right now, right?" Zhao Mengqi suddenly said coldly.
"Your Highness, please don't be rash. It's better to consider this matter in the long term. The Qian family has deep roots in our Song Dynasty. To put it bluntly, it is the first family outside the clan and has a wide range of contacts. If it is touched for no reason, it may cause a big disturbance. For Your Highness, you are absolutely doing harm rather than good."
Gu Qing tried hard to dispel Zhao Mengqi's obvious desire for revenge.
He felt bitter in his heart. This matter would come sooner or later. But he had just boarded King Zhong's pirate ship and he had arrived. Now it was impossible to get off the ship. He could only try his best to control the incident, otherwise If the loyal king causes trouble, it is equal to his own trouble and the Imperial City Division's trouble!
Obviously Zhao Mengqi did not listen to the advice, and said with a sullen face, "If you don't avenge your mother's murder, you will be a useless person!"
"But……"
"No buts! Don't worry, you'll be fine!"
"Your Highness, this is not what I mean. Even though I am worried about myself and the Imperial City Secretary, I don't want you to be in trouble in the future. After all, your position is not stable now. Although you have won the trial due to your strength, Standing out, the ministers have nothing to say for the time being, but many people are not convinced. If they are caught at this moment, there will definitely be twists and turns, so I would like to ask Your Highness to think twice!"
As Gu Qing spoke, he bowed deeply and bowed his hands to each other. The spy chief actually looked like he was remonstrating with his ministers.
Zhao Mengqi was a little surprised by his reaction. He looked at him deeply for a few times and then patted his arm. "Gu Qing, your attitude makes me very happy."
Feeling happy, Gu Qing thought that King Zhong had listened to the advice, but then he heard Zhao Mengqi continue, "However, you don't understand what I mean. Gu Qing knows what you said, but well, hehe... "
Gu Qing raised his head in astonishment, as if he caught a hint of determination in Zhao Mengqi's eyes, which was difficult to understand for a moment.
Zhao Mengqi raised his head and smiled, "Let's go! Let's make a big fuss in the Qian Mansion!"
…
Da Nei Funing Hall is the sleeping hall of Zhao Guan's family.
In the Nuan Pavilion, except for two elderly men, the palace maids and chamberlains were all missing.
No, one of them shouldn't be considered a man, after all, something is missing.
The two of them sat opposite each other across a table. Old Lin picked up the wine bottle and filled Zhao Guan's wine glass.
Zhao Guanjia's face was flushed and he looked a little proud, "Old Lin, I really owe you a lot in this life."
"It's good to know." Old Man Lin said carelessly, "If you hadn't insisted on digging out the bird's nest, I wouldn't have smashed the egg."
Zhao Guan's family said, "You were a bit naughty when you were a child. Alas...it was me who made you unable to be a man and not have a son and a half. It's good for you, but you have served me all your life."
"Haha, you're not much better, don't you just have one more daughter than me?" Old Man Lin was not polite at all.
"I have a son!" Zhao Guanjia was furious, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Old Lin, you always laughed it off when I mentioned this matter in the past, why are you tit for tat today?"
Old man Lin calmly picked up a nut, squeezed it with his hands, then took out the nut and slowly put it into his mouth, chewed it carefully, then picked up the wine glass, filled the glass into his mouth, and let out a breath of enjoyment, "Half of my body is covered with wine." He’s been buried, and he’s not happy for me to complain and complain.”
"No! There must be something wrong with you. Tell me, there is nothing to hide about our naked friendship." Zhao Guanjia sneered.
Old Man Lin chuckled, "I handed over the Imperial City Division to your son."
"What!?"
"Actually, it's not all over. It's your son who pestered me about the Imperial City Division. I ignored him. He went to see Gu Qing today. However, I gave Gu Qing a few words of advice. As for your son Whether he can win and how much he can win depends on his own ability."
After hearing this, Zhao Guanjia was stunned for a long time, and then he suddenly smiled, "Give it to him, sooner or later, I can't deal with the government anymore. In the future, it will all be his, and I can do whatever I want with it." All he wants is not to cut off his incense to me."
"Haha, don't blame me for speaking harshly. I think your son is definitely much better than you." Old man Lin was very wanton.
Zhao Guanjia pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Old Lin, you are coming over now, what is that stupid boy better than me!?"
Sighing, "When I came to the throne, I also had great ambitions. In the Duanping year, I finally exhausted Shi Miyuan, got back the power, supported the Northern Expedition, and wanted to get back the land of my ancestors. However, I fell short. There are many more things to come. Try hard, but this Song Dynasty is like an ox cart stuck in the quagmire, no matter how hard you pull it, you can't pull it out."
"I don't study well, and I can't understand the twists and turns in the court. But, Brother Ju, your biggest shortcoming is your lack of decisiveness and patience. As a person, as a friend, as a husband, and as a father, you are not bad. As an emperor, , but it's a lot worse." Old Man Lin hit the core.
"Ahem!" Zhao Guan's family couldn't bear it, "Old Lin, please save some face for me..."
Old man Lin shook his head indifferently and changed the subject, "Brother Ju, let me ask you, if you had a biological son now, would you abandon Shiro?"
"This?" Zhao Guanjia fell into thinking, "If it were in the past, it would definitely be possible, and you also know the reason, but now, it probably won't be possible. You and I are already this age, and we might kick our legs one day. If we really want to stand up, If you use young children as a reserve, the best result is to be a puppet. If not, it will be unbearable."
"Haha, I hope you remember what you said." Old man Lin looked at Zhao Guan's house thoughtfully.
At this moment, a young man from the Huang family ran straight in and handed the bamboo tube with a red head to Old Man Lin.
In this case, no one with any brains would pursue Xiao Huangmen's rudeness.
Old man Lin opened the bamboo tube, took out the secret note and read it quickly, then handed it to Zhao Guanjia, "Guanjia, your son wants to do something big."
After Zhao Guanjia finished reading, his face was a little solemn at first, but then he became very straightforward when he thought about what he just said, "Let him go, we can just watch it, it won't change the world."
Picking up the wine glass and walking away with Old Man Lin, he heard Dong Songchen's voice outside the pavilion, "Guan family, Yan Guifei said that there is a matter of life and death, and she asked you to go to Ciyuan Hall as soon as possible."
