Dou Yuqiang said: "No matter how difficult it is, we have to find a way. If we don't rescue him, those thieves will definitely kill him like they did to brother Bobbie! Brother, think about it again and see if there are any of the courtiers. Those who can speak in front of the king..."
At this moment, Dou Min couldn't help but slap his thigh and said: "You're so good, why have you forgotten her? Xiong Zhen doesn't care about brotherly love, and there is also the Queen Mother, why don't you let the second master's wet nurse, Tao, Are you going to ask the Queen Mother?"
Dou Yuqiang said: "Yes, how could we forget about her?"
Xiong Tong's wet nurse, Mrs. Tao, was originally the sister of a palace maid. After Xiong Tong was born, she needed a wet nurse urgently, so the palace maid introduced her sister to the palace. Tao's husband died early, and the Xiong Tong brothers needed someone to take care of them, so the Queen Mother left Tao in the palace. The brothers couldn't wait and went to see Mr. Tao overnight.
At this moment, a blind old woman with white hair was half lying on the silver couch in the harem. She was wearing a black robe embroidered with regional patterns of Chu State. Two maids were rubbing her shoulders and back, and the other was rubbing her legs. , it is Mrs. Xiao Ao, the mother of King Xiong of Chu. In the blink of an eye, an elegant and beautiful middle-aged woman walked in. She was Xiong Tong's wet nurse, Mrs. Tao. Mrs. Tao quickly saluted and said, "My slave, I pay my respects to the Queen Mother!"
Mrs. Xiao Ao said: "Oh, is it Aunt Tao? You are a rare visitor, and you didn't come to see the Ai family..."
Mrs. Tao said: "It's my slave, isn't it... It's just that I was afraid of disturbing the Queen Mother's peace, so I wanted to come over to see the Queen Mother several times, but I stopped..."
Mrs. Xiao Ao smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, Ai Jia is just joking with you, don't take it to heart, just be safe!"
Mrs. Tao said: "Thank you, Queen Mother!" and then replaced a maid to rub Mrs. Xiao Ao's legs. Mrs. Xiao Ao asked: "Aunt Tao, how are you these days?"
Mrs. Tao said: "Thanks to you, old man, everything is fine with me!"
Mrs. Xiao Ao smiled and said: "It's rare for Grandma Tao to come here. She must have something to do today, right? Tell me, what's the matter?"
Mrs. Tao had already shed tears before she spoke, and she knelt down in front of the couch. Mrs. Xiao Ao said hurriedly: "Mom, please get up quickly. Tell the Aijia what happened, and the Aijia will definitely make the decision for you!"
Tao said: "Please Queen Mother, please save the second young master. He was framed and is now being thrown into a prison..." and then told what happened.
Mrs. Xiao Ao said: "Is there such a thing? This Zhuan'er is a brother no matter what, how can he commit fratricide? Please rest assured, mama, this is not a big deal for Tong'er, and Zhuan'er will not kill him What? Tomorrow the Aijia will go and ask Suan'er to release Tong'er!"
After Xiong Tong was thrown into the sky prison, Xiong Tong and Fei Wuchang were very unhappy. Xiong Tong said: "My lord is so resourceful and clever. I just dug a nest and that reckless man Xiong Tong jumped in. It's really satisfying!"
Fei Wuchang said: "This is just the first step. Although singing and dancing in front of the ancestral temple is a serious crime, it is not enough to kill him..."
Xiong Tong said: "Yes, if Xiong Tong is not dead, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart! In your opinion, what should I do next?"
Fei Wuchang picked up his mustache, frowned and said viciously: "It's still the same old method, just like dealing with Dou Bobi. Even if he has Jiang Ziya's ability, he can't escape this misfortune!"
After wet nurse Tao entered the palace, brothers Dou Min and Dou Yuqiang waited for news at Xiong Tong's mansion. Seeing that Mr. Tao had not come back for a long time, the brothers felt secretly anxious. Dou Min said: "Although the monarch is headstrong, I heard that he is also a filial son. If the Queen Mother comes forward, nothing will happen, right?"
Dou Yuqiang said: "That's not entirely true. Have you forgotten what happened to Brother Bobi? Even if the Queen Mother comes forward, the monarch will not let him go so quickly. As time goes by, who can predict what will happen?"
Dou Min said: "What you said makes sense. But, the initiative is in the hands of others, what else can we do?"
While they were talking, Mrs. Tao had already come back and said that the Queen Mother promised to see the monarch early tomorrow morning, please rest assured.
On the way back, Dou Min said: "In order to ensure that Brother Bobi's incident never happens again, we must find a way to inform the second young master..."
Dou Yuqiang said: "What you said is absolutely correct. We need to hurry up, because we're afraid that the Crown Prince, Fei Wuchang and the others will get ahead of us!"
Dou Min said: "Yes, this matter cannot be delayed. We can't go back yet..."
In the afternoon of the next day, in front of the closed prison camp, four soldiers holding iron swords stood there motionless like squatting wooden figures. There was no one on the road, and the empty streets were filled with a deathly silence. After a while, a girl who looked like a maid came over carrying a food box. The soldiers guarding the camp immediately went up to stop her. The girl said: "This slave girl is the girl in the Second Young Master's house. I have been ordered by my wife to bring food to the Second Young Master!" She took out her waist tag. When the soldiers saw that they had waist badges, they had no choice but to let him go.
Even though it was broad daylight, it was still dark inside the prison. After being imprisoned, Xiong Tong was so angry that his eyes were smoking and his whole body was on fire. He often looked up at the top of the cell and sighed secretly. Yes, it was precisely because of his violent temper that he got burned and allowed despicable people to take advantage of the loopholes... When Uncle Bi Wang was still alive, he often warned himself to be calm when things happened and to be more thoughtful... Now Uncle Bi Wang is no longer there , no one can remind me of Xiong Tong like him all the time... Thinking of this, Xiong Tong shed two lines of heroic tears in his eyes.
At this moment, I heard the jailer shouting: "Second Young Master, someone is visiting the prison!"
Xiong Tong took a closer look and saw that it was a maid coming over with a food box in her hand and said, "Sir, you have suffered..." After saying this, tears burst down her face.
Xiong Tong: "It's okay. I, Xiong Tong, am a man who fought through thousands of troops. A small prison is nothing!"
The maid wiped away her tears and added: "My wife made this for the young master herself. She asked the slave to bring it to you. Please use it carefully..." After that, she stuffed the food box in.
Xiong Tong asked while lifting the lid of the food box: "How are you, madam?"
The maid said: "After the young master was imprisoned, my wife was in tears all day long..."
Xiong Channel: "Go back and tell Madam that I'm fine, and let her rest assured..." After that, he started eating and drinking in front of the wall of the prison. In a blink of an eye, he ate all the delicacies in the food box, and then He turned around and sent the food box out, and said: "It's delicious, it's really delicious. I'll ask my wife to make more next time..."
In the evening, the jailer came to deliver prison meals. He called several times, but saw Xiong Tong lying on the haystack and ignored him. This man hasn't been quiet since he came in. What's going on this time? The jailer felt strange, so he went in and kicked Xiong Tong, but there was still no movement. The jailer took a closer look and saw that Xiong Tong was bleeding from the corner of his mouth and unconscious. He was shocked and shouted, "It's dead, it's dead..." and ran out in panic.
Upon hearing the news of Xiong Tong's death, Xiong Tong jumped up with joy, walked to Fei Wuchang and praised: "Sir, you are really my great Jiang Ziya! Last time we got rid of Dou Bobi, now we will kill this reckless man Xiong Tong." Sent away, this young master’s worries are finally gone, haha, I can finally sit back and relax!”
Fei Wuchang said: "Xiong Tong's house must be very lively these days... In order to show our magnanimity, we should go to express our condolences. What do you think, Your Highness?"
Xiong Yan said: "Yes, yes, he is still my uncle's biological uncle. How can I not express my condolences to my nephew after his uncle dies? Haha..."
At this moment, Xiong Tong's body was carried into the mansion by several palace officials. As soon as he entered the inner room, Xiong Tong sat up immediately. Wasn't Xiong Tong poisoned to death? actually not. Because before this, Dou Min had sent someone to sneak into the cell to inform him secretly. When Xiong Tong took the food from the back wall of the lunch box and ate, he poured all the food into a cloth bag. Then he bit off the tip of his tongue and pretended to be dead of poisoning, hiding it from Lao Zi, Xiong Zan, Fei Wuchang and others.
Entering the inner room, Dou Min and Dou Yuqiang were already waiting there. Dou Min said: "Second Young Master escaped from death this time and escaped safely. It is really gratifying and congratulatory."
But Xiong Tong gritted his teeth and said: "Xiong Zan and Fei Wuchang, two thieves, if one day they fall into my hands, Xiong Tong, you will die without a burial place!" Then he sighed: "If it weren't for you two, how would Xiong Tong be? Can you come back safely? Xiong Tong, thank you both!"
Dou Min said: "No, no, this is what we should do, why bother! Besides, Mr. Hao also contributed a lot to this!"
