After coughing a few times, Zhao Xu raised his head and asked Li Duzhi, who was standing on the side, "Why did you come in?" Can I help you? If it's okay, you get out of here and don't get infected by me. ”

Li Duzhi's eyes were red, and he knelt on the ground and said: "The official family loves the villain, and the villain is grateful." If he can share the pain of the official family, the villain is willing. ”

Zhao Xu couldn't help but laugh and said, "What are you doing with these words...... Forget it, get up, and tell me what you came in for. ”

Only then did Li Duzhi get up and replied, "Back to the official's house, His Royal Highness King Duan asked to see him outside the door." ”

"What is he here for?" Zhao Xu asked strangely, "He hasn't been here for half a year, right?" ”

Li Duzhi nodded and said: "Indeed, as the official family said, in the past half a year, this is the first time that His Royal Highness King Duan has entered the palace to see you." ”

"It's weird." Zhao Xu blinked, and suddenly thought of what happened yesterday. He frowned, could it be that Zhao Ji knew the news that he was almost dead, so he specially entered the palace to find out?

Just as he was about to open his mouth to let Zhao Ji in, Zhao Xu thought about it. Anyway, Zhao Ji didn't have a good heart, so he simply came up with a plan, and he could also take advantage of the situation to suppress those lords and factions in the court, and relieve some pressure for Zhang Dian and Zeng Bu.

So he beckoned to Li Duzhi and motioned for him to come to him. After saying a few words in his ear, Li Duzhi's eyes lit up, and his heart said that it was really red near Zhu and black near ink.

I have been messing with Tang Ning a lot, but I didn't expect the official family to become so ...... So...... So broken......

After the order was finished, Zhao Xu patted Li Duzhi on the shoulder and asked him to go out. Then Li Duzhi bowed and retreated, opened the door and walked out of the imperial study, and quickly closed the door with a nervous face, turned around, and became calm again.

Zhao Ji stared at Li Duzhi's face from the moment the door opened, and with such an obvious change in expression, he naturally couldn't escape Zhao Ji's eyes.

After Li Duzhi came out, he cleared his throat and said, "His Royal Highness King Duan, the official family is very tired today, and he has drunk the decoction and medicine, and he has fallen asleep. His Royal Highness King Duan, please go back and give the official family some time to rest. ”

At this time, if you ask to go in and see the situation, it will be a bit deliberate. So Zhao Ji nodded and said with a little regret: "That's it, then next time!" ”

After that, he left the small courtyard where the imperial study was located with a pity on his face.

Li Duzhi watched Zhao Ji walk away, and stood at the door for about a stick of incense. didn't see Zhao Ji come back, so he immediately ran to the rest place of the imperial doctor next to him, and gave instructions to several imperial doctors like and this and this.

Of course, the words are ambiguous, but Li Duzhi's statement is easy for them to misunderstand.

After saying that, Li Duzhi asked one of the elderly imperial doctors to go home to rest, and the others continued to wait, just in case something happened.

After Zhao Ji left, he went to the Queen Mother again.

Empress Dowager Xiang didn't like Zhao Ji very much at first, but in Zhao Ji

Under the unyielding flattering offensive, she now likes this child very much.

After Zhao Ji came, he pulled Zhao Ji to talk to the Queen Mother.

The two chatted for almost two hours, and after lunch, Zhao Ji left the palace.

Back at Duanwang's Mansion, Zhao Ji immediately sent someone out to investigate. He sensed that something was wrong, because Li Duzhi's performance was too abnormal.

In Zhao Ji's eyes, Li Duzhi is an old fox. If it weren't for the catastrophe, it would be difficult for this person to show a nervous look.

But today, at the moment he closed the door, he did show a nervous demeanor. This made Zhao Ji fall into thinking, what is the big disaster for Li Duzhi?

Eunuchs are all attached to the branches of the big tree of the royal family, and Li Duzhi is even more so. Only when the trunk that provides the nutrients withers will the branches wither.

From this, can it be said that ......

Zhao Ji didn't dare to think about it, if it was true, then his good days were about to come......

Therefore, Zhao Ji immediately sent more people and used all the resources he could use to investigate Zhao Xu's physical condition, either explicitly or covertly.

A day later, there was another morning without a pilgrimage. Today, the official is resting, and the Duanwang Mansion ushered in a heavyweight guest.

Cai Jing, the head of the household, came to visit, and Zhao Ji naturally welcomed him.

"Minister Cai Jing see His Royal Highness King Duan." As soon as Cai Jing saw Zhao Ji, he immediately went to the end.

Zhao Ji stepped forward and picked up Cai Jing and said, "Cai Shangshu doesn't have to be polite, please sit down, please sit down!" ”

"The minister does not sit, the minister does not sit."

"Sit, sit!"

"You sit, you sit."

After the two fake people were polite and polite, they still sat down.

Then the two had a discussion on the issue of today's weather and came to a very cold conclusion. I also made a prediction of tomorrow's weather, and I got the result that it was definitely not warm.

In the end, Cai Jing's words changed, and he said sneakily: "Your Highness, Weichen heard that recently...... It seems that the palace is not peaceful? ”

"Who did you listen to?" Zhao Ji said righteously: "We are outside the palace, how can we criticize the things in the palace?" Moreover, you are a foreign minister, and what is your intention in saying these things to this king? ”

Cai Jing hurriedly got up and shook it to the end, and said in a panic: "Weichen is guilty." ”

"Forget it, you're also concerned about it." Zhao Ji waved his hand and motioned for Cai Jing to sit back. After Cai Jing sat back in his seat, Zhao Ji said: "Since you care so much about the imperial brother, then the king will tell you!"

The day before yesterday, the royal brother suddenly did not, but fortunately, the imperial doctor rejuvenated his skill, and his condition turned from critical to safe......"

Zhao Ji said this, hesitating whether to say the next words.

Cai Jing's eyes flickered and said: "Your Highness, the matter has come to this, you don't need to hide it from Weichen, Weichen and you are one heart, don't treat Weichen as an outsider." ”

Cai Jingjing said this, Zhao Ji gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand to retreat the maid and the guard, and when only the two of them were left, he whispered like a thief: "But yesterday, this king sent someone to find out the authenticity of the news.

And guess what happened? A royal doctor in the palace went home to rest, and he said in person after drinking that the official family could not be saved. ”

Cai Jing was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by this, could it be ......?"

Zhao Ji closed his mouth and said nothing, his expression noncommittal.

Cai Jing frowned and thought for a moment, and said to himself: "It stands to reason that if this news is leaked, even if the official family has already ...... Something has happened, and he can't escape a felony of killing his head.

But since it was said after drinking, there is a bit of a possibility......"

"And he drank Zhenjiang's Shenjia Zhenjiang wine from Zhenjiang." Zhao Ji said solemnly: "There are not many people who can still lie after drinking Zhenjiang wine. ”

Cai Jing's heart was beating wildly, but the old fox's professionalism told him that it was not yet time to be happy. There are many people who are happy too early and end up very sad, and because of this, Cai Jing has always maintained this good habit - never laughing out loud until the last moment.

Seeing that there was irrepressible joy in Zhao Ji's eyebrows, Cai Jing knew that this person could be used by himself. A bold idea came to his mind.

"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry to be sad yet. If the official family is safe, then aren't you wasting your mind in vain?

Let's wait a little longer and see how it goes. ”

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded and said: "Cai Qing is reasonable, this king is still too calm." ”

After that, Zhao Ji got up and arched his hand towards Cai Jingyi and said, "Fortunately, with Cai Qing's persuasion, this king can settle down." To have Cai Qing's help is really a great blessing for this king! ”

Cai Jing hurriedly made a gesture and said modestly: "With such praise from His Royal Highness, Weichen is terrified." ”

Then the two hypocritical men looked at each other, and then burst out laughing, and the air was filled with a pleasant atmosphere.

At the same time, Tangning, who was far away in Shunzhou, successfully collected Shunzhou as Song soil from the Liao. Although the clumsy method of the mysterious disappearance of the soldier was adopted, Shunzhou was fortunately taken down.

On the sixth day after Shunzhou was occupied by him, Tang Ning was still complacent. But a letter brought by the messenger from Kaifeng Mansion made Tang Ning's mood sink to the bottom.

The Courier is the Knight of the Crimson Feather, and is also the Knight of the Royal Crimson. This means that the letter sent by the messenger must have been written by Zhao Xu.

Tang Ning opened the letter with apprehension, and couldn't help but breathe.

A letter was written in just three big words: "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" ”
