There was a torrential rain in Beijing, but only a few drops of rain fell in Beiping, more than 2,000 miles away.

At the beginning of July, the wind in Beiping also lightened. But the dark clouds in the sky did not disperse, and they still hovered over the ancient city for several days. Sooner or later there will be a heavy rain, and the brief subsidence is nothing more than the calm before the storm.

Yao Guangxiao came to the door of the Shizi's Mansion and saluted the door with one hand: "Amitabha." ”

Menzi hurriedly said: "Master, please." ”

Yao Guangxiao soon saw Shizi in the living room, and Shizi looked anxious and restless. Yao Guangxiao asked: "The prince sent people to find the old man twice, what is the matter?" ”

The prince Zhu Gaochi moved his fat body to the door, closed the door first, and said straightly: "Father is pretending, right?" ”

"Yes." Yao Guangxiao said without hesitation.

When the prince had just got married, King Yan asked Yao Guangxiao to come over to teach the prince; Now that the prince has long been an adult, and he is the eldest son of King Yan, Yao Guangxiao feels that there is no need to deliberately hide confidential matters from him.

Shizi nodded slightly, and his face gradually turned cold again. Yao Guangxiao observed, and it was difficult to figure out the meaning for a while.

"Not long ago, someone in my father's mansion accidentally ate Junying grass and was poisoned!" Shizi Road.

When Yao Guangxiao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, "So what?" ”

Shizi said: "I was seriously ill when I was in Beijing and almost died, and my fourth uncle and uncle both said that it was very likely to be poisoned...... On that day, someone in my father's mansion was poisoned by eating Junying grass, and the symptoms were exactly the same as mine! At that time, I thought that the poison in the Jingshi might also be Junying Grass.

But who will poison me? When I was in Beijing, my diet was only served by two slaves and maids who had already been in the house, and in addition to this, I was my brother.

That's it, but on the way back to Beiping, my illness suddenly healed overnight! At that time, there were only two brothers around...... And Gao Xu's two slaves! ”

Shizi's face turned red, and his anger continued to increase, "At first, I didn't believe it, I didn't want to believe it!" Later, I found those Lang Zhong in my father's mansion, who had treated people who had been poisoned and died, and asked them carefully. The more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong! ”

"Huh?" Yao Guangxiao's mouth made a sound, but there was no look of surprise in his triangular eyes.

Shizi clenched his fists and waved them in the air, his demeanor was completely lost, and his blushing face was a little distorted, "Is it a brother?" I treated him with a naked heart, so much so that I gave up my life, and he actually poisoned me!? ”

Yao Guangxiao is old and usually relatively indifferent, but he is also a little upset at this time...... The "he" in the mouth of the prince obviously refers to Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang! In front of him, the prince was obviously emotional, and he was very ambitious. Yao Guangxiao was faintly worried.

Yao Guangxiao's big things and lifelong ambitions, during this time, he didn't want to make extraneous branches at such a juncture! First of all, the timing was wrong.

Secondly, Yao Guangxiao has always been closer to the prince, and he has never liked the violent King Gaoyang, but he has not reached that point at all, and he has to clash head-on with the King of Gaoyang.

Yao Guangxiao asked Yuan Heng to find Du Qianrui before, mainly just to put an ancestor next to King Gaoyang, that's all......

first tried to get Du Qianrui to tell about Jun Yingcao, but he just wanted to lure her into betraying King Gaoyang; As long as she is betrayed once, she will not be able to turn back in the future, and she will always be in control of the key points from now on! The point is, later.

Moreover, the poisoning of King Gaoyang, if he has a human witness, is also a handle in the hands of Yao Guangxiao. To shoot or not to shoot? When to make a move? It all depends on the future...... Of course, no matter what, it's definitely not now.

This technique is the same as playing Go. When you free your hand, you should place a chess piece in a necessary territory in advance, and after countless moves, you may be able to use it. Because when it comes to the time of need, it is not easy to find a way to do it temporarily; Only very early in advance will it be difficult for the opponent to be prepared.

"I want to call Gao Xu to my father and question him face to face!" Shizi said fiercely.

"Never!" Yao Guangxiao's face was very ugly, like crying and mourning.

Is there a fart for that thing at this time? Besides, Du Qianrui's ancestor has not been installed yet, and there is no way to talk about the handle, there is no evidence, what can you ask?

But the cyan veins on Shizi's face have appeared, and it is really not easy to appear in this situation in the fat and white thick flesh. His teeth were clenched, and his voice sounded like a completely different person. If he hadn't stood in front of the prince, Yao Guangxiao would definitely not have heard what the prince said.

Shizi gritted his teeth and said: "I must ask him if he is my own brother, and whether his heart is black or red!" Master Daoyan, you go with me! ”

"O son! Can you listen to the old man's admonition today? Yao Guangxiao said with a bitter face, and the wrinkles on his face were almost rubbed together.

"No!" The prince of the world is categorical, "I can have a place to maneuver for everything, but I can't do it alone, I have to ask it clearly!" Master Daoyan, can you understand my suffering? On the one hand, he was poisoned by calculations and almost died, but on the other hand, he was willing to take his life to help him...... Even if I'm stupid, I can't treat me like this......"

Shizi grabbed Yao Guangxiao's arm with both hands and shook it violently, his eyes were bloodshot, "Does everyone treat me like a pig?" Even my own brothers do the same to me! I live in this world, who has treated me with care! ”

Yao Guangxiao was speechless, and his heart was also sour.

"Alas!" Yao Guangxiao could only sigh. Although Shizi is an adult, he is still too young, so he has to have a little more experience...... However, judging from his intentions, he is indeed a good and honest person by nature, not as treacherous and scoundrel as some people. This is a weakness, but it is also the reason why Yao Guangxiao is close to him.

"If the prince insists on this, the old man still wants the prince to hear it again." Yao Guangxiao's triangular eyes glanced at Shizi, and his gaze was very strange, "With Lao Gao's many years of experience in knowing people, King Gaoyang is very treacherous, and he will definitely not follow this way." Just asked him like this, and it was in vain to ask. ”

Yao Guangxiao sighed again, "The matter has come to this point, and Lao Gao is also helpless, there is a way that is not a way." When the prince saw him, he didn't suspect it because someone in the Yanwang Mansion was poisoned, but he only said that at that time, in the Jingshi Mansion, a slave saw King Gaoyang pulling out the Junying Grass. ”

Shizi was silent for a moment after hearing this, "Where did he ask where he pulled the Junying Grass?" ”

When Yao Guangxiao heard this, he regained some confidence in Shizi, who is also a thoughtful person. Yao Guangxiao said, "That Jun Yingcao likes yin or yang, you say that it is a dark corner in the house." If he holds on, you will say that you have forgotten to ask your slave. ”

Shizi nodded lightly: "If he wants to ask which slave, I will say that the person is still there, and I have to keep it secret for the time being, and I only ask him if he admits it." Trick him first! ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "By the way, this is the way." We don't have the credentials in our hands, so that's all we can do. In any case, King Gao Yang is also a teenager, and he may be able to work.

When the prince deceived him, he also implied, intentionally or unintentionally, that you had mastered something else. You have to be sure that it's him, so that he can't touch the details of you, and he can't figure out how many things you have mastered. ”

Shizi pondered Yao Guangxiao's words for a while, frowned, and said, "Master Daoyan doesn't help me?" ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "It is inconvenient for the old man to get involved in the housework of King Yan. I don't want to see your brothers centrifuge in my heart, but the son of the world insists on doing so, and the old man can't persuade him to turn back, so he can only make this decision. ”

…… It didn't take long for Zhu Gaoxu to hear the eunuch Cao Fu report in the mansion that Ma He, the eunuch in the Yanwang Mansion, had come and said that he had something important to see.

The person sent by his father, Zhu Gaoxu did not dare to slack off, and immediately walked out of the front hall and went to meet outside the hall.

Ma Hexian bowed and saluted, and said, "The prince has come to the palace, and he wants King Gaoyang to hurry over as well, and he wants to see something." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu's intuition was a little wrong, and he said quietly: "Okay, I'll change my clothes and go over, Ma Gonggong is tired." So saying, he took a few pieces of treasure money from his sleeve pocket, and when he held the horse and arm affectionately, he stuffed them into his palm.

Ma He said: "I can't do it, I can't do it!" King Gaoyang is also a member of King Yan's family, and the slave is also your slave and maid, how dare you. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Shoes and socks wear and tear also cost money to buy, I give money to my family, what else does someone say?" ”

"Thank you, thank you." Horses and busy.

Zhu Gaoxu said kindly: "The prince in my house, do you know?" Wang Gui always said that Ma Gonggong is a good person, and he is stable in his work, and he often takes Ma Gonggong as an example, he always praises you in front of me, ha! ”

Ma He pondered for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "The son of the world is not good, his face is not very good, and he is not called 'second brother' in his mouth, only your name." ”

"Okay, okay, it's just a misunderstanding, I'll see him in a while, and I'll be fine talking to him." Zhu Gaoxu forced his composure.

Ma He hugged his fists and said: "The slave and maid will take their leave, go back to their lives first." ”

As soon as Ma He left, Zhu Gaoxu's face suddenly pulled down, his face was depressed, and he felt anxious!

The matter of poisoning in Jingshi may have been exposed! Zhu Gaoxu was so anxious that he walked back and forth in the room, thinking hard for a long time, but there was nothing he could do. For a moment, he felt as if there were 10,000 alpacas whizzing by.

What to do?

There is no choice but to act at the opportunia!

Seeing that it had been grinding for a long time, he looked down at what he was wearing, remembering the embarrassment of going to the palace in formal clothes last time, and felt that it was very good to be dressed like this. Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the door, greeted Wang Bin on duty, and prepared the horses to follow.

When Wang Bin led the horse out, Zhu Gaoxu turned over and got on the horse.

At this moment, Du Qianrui hurriedly chased after her and said, "Lord Wang, the slave maid has something to say, you listen to the slave maid's explanation!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Du Qianrui with a very complicated feeling, his eyes stayed on her face for a long time, and finally spoke: "I have something to go out, let's talk about it later." ”

"Lord ......"

Zhu Gaoxu patted the horse and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

No matter how helpless the trouble is, you can only face it head-on, what else can you do when it comes to the end?
