The Possession of My Beloved (Hidden Charm) - Chapter 174
But Cui Fu saw Cui Xingzhou frequently looking towards their car, as if something was wrong, so she asked Li Guangcai not to just go around her and go to Xingzhou to see what was going on .
When Li Guangcai came over, Cui Xingzhou told him about the hidden pictures in the painting, and showed him the picture that Miantang had printed.
Li Guangcai was shocked when he saw it.
Cui Xingzhou shook his head and told him that he did not discover it by himself, but that Miantang discovered it first, and said that when Miantang was in Yangshan, Liu Hao knew about their grain and grass transportation route through a similar method. came out,
Li Guangcai’s expression turned solemn. According to the prince’s words, even Long Live may be involved. If this is the case, if the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die!
Mian Tang said, “Brother-in-law, how is your painting skills?”
Li Guangcai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head into a rattle: “Princess, you know, although I dabble in writing and calligraphy, but I can’t draw such hidden and exposed paintings.”
Cui Xingzhou naturally trusted Li Guangcai. If he was a speculator, he would not have had the trouble of being abandoned by the court for many years.
Refining, a small box is expensive… Even if you have that kind of painting skills, you might not be willing to buy such precious paints to paint. I mean, if you are good at painting and make friends on weekdays, you can I have found that people who are close to the prince have such pen power.”
After saying this, the three of them suddenly looked at the Marquis of Zhennan in front of the convoy.
If there are people around the prince who are proficient in painting, it is Zhao Jiayu.
This time I was finally able to leave the Beihai barbarian land and go back to see my mother. Lord Zhao was so excited that he lost his composure. He walked at the front all the way, wearing a bamboo hat , riding on horseback and reciting aloud the poetry of returning home.
After reading Zhao Houye’s gaffe, the three of them withdrew their gazes tacitly.
Li Guangcai thought for a while, then pondered: “There are definitely not many people in the Department of Arms who can know the secret of artillery making. If he can’t turn back to the capital for a while, that person knows that the Yingsi Temple has failed, and I am afraid that the evidence of the crime will also be wiped out. Moreover, this person is very hostile to our Zhenzhou, if you don’t know who this person is first, you will inevitably be passive when you arrive in the capital.”
Miantang said: “If this person deliberately hides his clumsiness on weekdays, it would be difficult for people to find out. But he was able to know the route of your grain and grass when you were in Yangshan, and now he knows the secret of making cannons. Zhenzhou and the capital army are all related, and they must be the most important people, it is very likely that the high-ranking and high-ranking respect, if we start from here, we should be able to narrow the scope.”
Speaking of this, Li Guangcai was also anxious for the prince. Now there is a mess in the court waiting for the prince to deal with it. When the time comes, what kind of dragon pool and tiger den will be arranged by the enemy hiding in the dark.
When he arrived in Zhenzhou, Cui Xingzhou did not go to the palace, but went directly to another courtyard in the suburbs.
When he separated from his mother, Miantang also thought about it carefully and thought about various situations. I once told the senior executives that if the concubine had any accident, she would move to another courtyard, not to contact outsiders at will, just wait for them to come back.
After the toffee’s symptoms worsened, the senior management urged the toffee to live in another courtyard in the suburbs temporarily, and only brought a few maids and wives to serve the concubine, and some loyal palace guards, other Everyone stays in the palace.
Senior executives personally bought bedding, room furnishings and other supplies, replaced everything in the courtyard with new ones, and declined all visits.
However, the symptoms of the concubine have been getting worse these days, and she was able to get up a little a few days ago, but these days she has begun to lose consciousness.
When Cui Xingzhou was about to arrive at the other courtyard, he saw his aunt Lian Chu standing outside the gate with a few maids from a distance, yelling at the senior management for being a slave to the master, how dare he dare to On her own accord, she was denied entry.
“The dog’s stuff! My sister is so sick, you still torment her. Several elders in the clan want to see the concubine, and you dare to stop them from seeing. With your lord going to Beihai and unable to return for a while, you want to steal your master’s property? This is looking at my sister and trying to make money and kill her!”
Just when she was scolding, the door opened, and the senior executive walked out with the few guards in the other courtyard.
Aunt Lian also knew a lot about her high-level affairs, so she came out to greet her and apologized, waiting for the dog slave to kneel down and apologize.
But she saw the senior executive lead someone past her like a gust of wind, and went straight to the country road.
Until then, Aunt Lian realized that a motorcade was rushing towards the other courtyard.
The senior management got a letter from the station early in the morning, knowing that the prince came from Beihai all the way.
The concubine has been lingering on the bed for more than a month, and seeing that he is dying, as a loyal servant, he has no master to make up his mind. Silently praying for the masters to come back soon.
Now that the prince is finally back, the senior management is really relieved, and he can finally unload the heavy burden.
Aunt Lian didn’t even know that Cui Xingzhou was back. After this shock, she hurriedly greeted her, and only snot and tears expressed her concern for her sister.
It’s a pity that Cui Xingzhou is anxious to see his mother now, and he really can’t pick up the etiquette between relatives.
Not waiting for Aunt Lian to cry and complain, she strode to her mother’s courtyard, and Cui Fu hurried to see her mother with Miantang’s help.
Aunt Lian also wanted to follow up, but the executives stopped her with a sullen face and said: “The prince and the concubine and mother and son reunite after a long absence, I think I have a lot to say, Mrs. Lian wants to visit Toffee, please come back another day!”
Speaking, the senior management tensed his face, and rudely ordered people to close the door in front of Lian Chu.
Nowadays, who doesn’t know, Lian Chu seems to have offended the king of Huaiyang, and is not welcomed by the new princess. Even her own daughter, Lian Lilan, has not been very close to her mother since she married the fifth son of the Cui family.
But if it wasn’t for her frequent outings with the concubine, the concubine wouldn’t have caught the cold and got a strange disease.
When the concubine first fell ill, she came to the concubine from time to time and disturbed the concubine with trivial matters of her own. Later, the concubine was transferred to another hospital, and it was only considered to have stopped.
Senior executives are angry when they see Mrs. Lian!
Besides, Cui Xingzhou entered the inner room and saw the toffee lying on the bed and sleeping. The toffee’s cheeks were sunken, her face lost the luster of the past, and she was thin and haggard. Where is the graceful toffee of the past?
But she seemed uncomfortable even in her drowsiness, her eyebrows were furrowed, and she turned down from time to time, making a humming sound.
The senior executive said: “Since the prince, the princess, and the young lady went to the capital, there was only one concubine in the palace, and it was quite lonely. The concubine was reluctant to go, but her aunt persuaded the concubine again and again, but the concubine had no face, so she went there twice. After a few days, her body felt a little cold, and then her chest and back were sore and annoyed. It was because of the cold, but the symptoms were slightly different, so I was not sure. Later, the concubine became more and more ill, and the servant remembered the previous instructions of the princess. I was afraid that the people in the palace were busy and busy, and the concubine moved hands and feet on the concubine. , and moved to another courtyard.”
Zhao Quan sat beside the bed, supported the concubine’s wrist to check the pulse, frowned more and more tightly, got up after a while and said to Cui Xingzhou: “The concubine’s pulse looks like a cold to the bones, but It seems specious, but it is actually poisoned.”
Cui Xingzhou’s face changed, and he asked, “Is there a way to save it?”
Zhao Quan said: “I have never heard of Gu poison before, but this trip to the North Sea has benefited a lot. There are many witch doctors in the local chieftain, and many of them are good at using Gu. I was in Beihai. When I communicated with a local witch doctor, I got to know a different person, and I learned a little bit. Generally, the person who casts gu has a mother gu in his hand, which can control the gu poison. Only by finding the mother gu can the gu poison be removed.”
Zhao Quan continued: “Although the mother gu can control the venom, it must be close. If the mother gu is far away, the venom will fall silent. Qing, the gu poison has penetrated deep into the inner organs. But because the mother gu is far away, the gu venom has not attacked. When the mother gu comes close, and the child gu attacks, it will break the blood vessels in the brain, it looks like an old man has a stroke, no matter how you check it, you will die at the end of your life.”
Cui Xingzhou’s face was ashen, he knew that the person who attacked him was coming at him.
Miantang said: “In this case, the person who was attacked must do everything possible to send the mother Gu to the other courtyard. Senior executives, after you come to the other courtyard, who will come to visit?”
The senior executive said: “Ladies of the prefectures, I have said hello to the concubine earlier that she needs to rest and should not be disturbed. The concubine greeted him, but none of them entered the other courtyard. They all knelt outside the gate to greet him and left. Lang Zhong lived in the other courtyard and never left. Only Aunt Lian came here from time to time, and sometimes brought the elders of the family to make trouble. “
