I am fish

Burning and burning, Zhen Wenjun suddenly smelled a special smell. This smell is as thin as a cicada's wing and is extremely difficult to detect, but Jiang Daochang's rigorous training planted sensitive seeds in Zhen Wenjun's body. It was special, even if only a faint ray was caught, it made her tremble.

This is the highly poisonous "Yizhisong" fragrance, and Jiang Daochang spent three days explaining the particularity of Yizhisong to her.The production process of this poison is extremely complicated. After the venom is extracted from the most poisonous snakes and scorpions in the hinterland of the desert, a branch of song song is cultivated in water to bloom. When the flower grows to the most beautiful, it is picked off, and it is smashed into flower juice to feed the poisonous red. spider.It takes three years to cultivate a red spider, and after three years, the spider will develop a small needle-point tumor.Not all red spiders can grow cancerous tumors, and they can only grow when the climate is just right.Regardless of how difficult it is for this cancerous tumor to grow, the venom contained in one cancerous tumor can poison ten people to death, and kill them instantly.It is colorless, odorless and very difficult to detect.

"There is such a magical thing in the world, so isn't it hard to guard against?"

"No." Zhen Wenjun remembered that Jiang Daochang pulled his face down at that time, disgusted with her stupidity, "there is no invincible thing in the world, everything has its weakness, as long as you observe carefully, you can always find the weakness. Just like this song, its weakness is fire. Once exposed to fire, it will reveal its original shape and produce a special smell. This smell is very similar to the smell of human flesh and blood after being burned."

At that time, Zhen Wenjun didn't understand the smell of burning human flesh and blood, so Jiang Daochang went to the cemetery and stole a fresh corpse and burned it for her.The smell of burning human body is hard to forget once you smell it once, and the memory of smell is better than other senses, Zhen Wenjun has always remembered it fresh.

Sniffing intently, all her attention was focused on the sense of smell, all the annoying little troubles could not be remembered at all, she used a wooden branch to stir up the unburned part of Wei Tingxu's letter, and soon the last part was also swallowed .It shouldn't be that Wei Tingxu's letter was smeared with poison, Yizhisong will take effect very quickly if it is taken orally, and it will hardly have any effect if it is just touched.If Wei Tingxu wanted to poison her to death, he would not use such a stupid method.

If it wasn't Wei Tingxu's letter, then it was this copper basin.

Where did you get the copper basin?cook.

Once this relationship was clarified, Zhen Wenjun immediately stomped out the fire in the basin, poured out all the ashes, folded a piece of cloth for heat insulation, held the copper basin and went back to the chef and asked, "What is this copper basin for?" of?"

Uncle Ke, who was in charge of the cook, said, "Isn't this the bowl I used to put the vegetables in? How did it get burned like this?"

"Serving dishes? Where are the dishes?"

"It has already been brought out. Today Da Sinong and Shao Fu are guests at the mansion, and His Highness is entertaining him in Su Haiyuan."

Lin Quan and Changsun Yao are here?Oops!

Zhen Wenjun didn't even realize that he had pulled a basin, so he ran away.The Huaichen mansion is not small, she has not been able to make a full circle after coming here for a few days, she has no idea where Su Haiyuan is at all.Ah Zhu couldn't find it for a while, so he caught a slave and asked him, the slave said:

"That Suhaiyuan is not in the mansion, you have to go east through the back door of Huaichen Mansion, until you reach the Chunchun Pond three miles away. Suhaiyuan is His Highness's palace, with mountains and waters, it is so elegant... Oh, my lady pushed me Why, go slowly!"

Zhen Wenjun didn't have the time to listen to him, so he dragged the other party as a fulcrum, flew out in a circle, and ran eastward.

There was wind under my feet, and my heart was beating wildly.If Zhen Wenjun's guess is correct, someone dropped a sprig of song in the meal for Lin Quan and Changsun Yao, and Li Yanyi might even eat it.It is unknown who poisoned them, but Zhen Wenjun knew that if all three of them were poisoned, Li Yanyi's party would be over.If Li Yanyi died, how could Wei Lun's family survive?

Zhen Wenjun of Sanli ran to the end in one breath, and saw that the Spring Pool was in front of him, and there was an elegant seat under the huge green bamboo roof one foot high, and the elegant seat was on the circular terrace in the center of the pool, about two hundred steps away from her. The intersection leading to Chi Xin was blocked by the Huben Army.

"I have something important to tell Your Highness!" Zhen Wenjun said as he was about to pass between the two Huben soldiers, and the two steel knives staggered to block her back.Had it not been for her quick reflexes, the nose would have been ruthlessly chipped off.

"What's the matter, wait until His Highness finishes the banquet and invites guests." The two Huben soldiers were ruthless, tall and strong, looking at Zhen Wenjun with their chins, "Your Highness has an order, except for Wei Situ, other idlers are not allowed to disturb."

"Are the Da Sinong and the Shaofu entertaining?" Zhen Wenjun asked eagerly.

The Huben soldiers ignored her.

"You go and report it! The food is poisonous! You must not eat it! Go!" Zhen Wenjun was so anxious that he was sweating and wanted to squeeze through the iron wall they erected.The Huben soldiers glanced at each other and whispered to each other, which was heard by Zhen Wenjun.

"She seems to be from the Wei family."

"I'm going to speak to Your Highness."

One stayed where he was, while the other quickly ran towards Su Haiyuan.

After a tiger soldier walked away, Zhen Wenjun's vision was wider. He could see Lin Quan, who was as big as a fingernail, with his back facing her. On the left was Chang Sun Yao who was toasting. Li Yanyi.

Changsun Yao was about to pour down the wine, and Zhen Wenjun shouted anxiously: "Don't drink—!"

Zhen Wenjun, who hadn't practiced inner strength and mental skills, yelled these two words out of his throat, and the voice did spread, causing Chang Sun Yao to stop drinking, and looked in her direction in surprise.

After Zhen Wenjun yelled, his throat seemed to be torn, and he felt dizzy for a moment. The copper basin in his hand fell to the ground, and he couldn't make a sound.

"Who?" Li Yanyi put down the chopsticks and looked in the direction of the caller, "Zhen Wenjun?"

Changsun Yao also looked at Zhen Wenjun, and when Lin Quan wanted to turn around, he suddenly paused and covered his throat.Changsun Yao noticed his strangeness and thought he was stuck by a fishbone.Unexpectedly, Lin Quan's face turned purple quickly, and he grabbed Changsun Yao's arm.

"Lin Jun! What's the matter with you!" Chang Sun Yao hurriedly wanted to support her, Lin Quan wanted to speak, but he didn't say a word, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on Chang Sun Yao's face.Changsun Yao subconsciously raised his wide sleeve and flicked it to block the blood.He looked down at the blood stains all over his sleeves.

Chang Sun Yao was stunned by his spray.Lin Quan slid down from the side of the case, and when he fell to the ground, blood was still crazily bleeding from his mouth and nose.When Li Yanyi rushed to him and called him, he was already out of breath.

Both Changsun Yao and Li Yanyi were very surprised by the sudden change, and the Huben soldiers ran over to report to Li Yanyi that the little lady at the entrance said the food was poisonous.

"Toxic?" Li Yanyi said, "Impossible! All the food was tested for poison with a silver needle in front of my eyes, and the silver needle didn't turn black! How could it be poisonous! Call the imperial doctor quickly!"

"Yes!" Huben soldiers hurried away, Li Yanyi pinched Lin Quan and wanted to wake him up, but no matter how hard he pinched Lin Quan, there was no response.

"He's dead." Li Yanyi was dripping with sweat. She looked at Lin Quan's eyes that were almost falling out. The sudden death made him extremely surprised and frightened. His purple face was swollen by the toxin, squeezing his facial features. He had to move, and died in a terrible state.

Li Yanyi was heartbroken, and brushed his palm over Lin Quan's face, wanting him to rest in peace.Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched his palm, he heard Zhen Wenjun, who was rushing here, shouted again: "Your Highness, get out of the way! Don't touch him!"

Li Yanyi was startled, and immediately withdrew her hand back.

"Your Highness, look!" Changsun Yao pointed at Lin Quan's face. Li Yanyi watched Lin Quan's face continue to swell until his head almost became two big, his lips gradually opened, and a strong The black air opened his mouth and rushed out from his mouth and nose.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Chang Sun Yao immediately stopped Li Yanyi behind him, Lin Quan suddenly sat up, and a huge amount of black air crazily sprayed out from his ears, nose and mouth.Seeing that Changsun Yao and Li Yanyi were about to be swallowed by the black poisonous gas, Zhen Wenjun pushed them into the pool.

The three of them fell into the pool together, and they were still on the terrace before diving in. The maidservants who inhaled the black air, like Lin Quan, had a lot of blood coming out of their mouths and noses, and fell to the ground dead from poisoning in the blink of an eye. The time from inhalation to death was very fast. , but between the fingers.

In the pool, Zhen Wenjun gestured to Li Yanyi and Changsun Yao, signaling them to swim directly to the shore.

The remaining Huben soldier wanted to come over, but he quickly turned around when he saw this scene.When they returned to the shore, Zhen Wenjun and the others happened to break through the water.

"Your Highness! Shaofu! Did you eat the food?!" Zhen Wenjun asked eagerly as soon as he was able to catch his breath.

"I... I drank alcohol!" Changsun Yao coughed water, his expression was very bad, "Drank six glasses! But I didn't eat vegetables... I don't like to eat vegetables while drinking, am I also poisoned!"

"It seems that there is no poison in the wine. The poison is very strong. Don't talk about drinking six cups, even if you only take a sip of Changsun Shaofu, you may be dead. The poison should be in the food. Your Highness, did you eat or drink?" Zhen Wenjun Just that day when she saw Li Yanyi gaining power, she was extremely happy, but she was afraid that she would indulge in wine and meat in such a happy manner, and it would be over if she ate and drank a lot.

Li Yanyi shook his head: "I haven't had time to eat anything yet."

A few days ago, Li Yanyi was in a good mood, until the news came back from Ah Xin's spies yesterday, saying that Ah Xin had a flare-up of Furong powder along the way, she insisted on not relapse, but went to find her teacher.She has been very close to this teacher who teaches Kung Fu since she was a child, and Li Yanyi has no good impression of this sanctimonious teacher.Now that Ah Xin went to join him at this critical moment, Li Yanyi was very upset.But the situation on Ru Ning's side is quite turbulent, and the old thief Xie Fuchen has overcome all obstacles and returned to Li Ju's side, the situation is changing rapidly, and it is impossible for her to leave.

I don't know if Ah Xin has come to her teacher now, let alone how this teacher will help her get rid of her addiction to Furongsan. Thinking of this, Li Yanyi loses her appetite.Today she called Changsun Yao and others to discuss how to deal with Xie Fuchen, Wei Lun's family had something to do and couldn't go to the banquet, unexpectedly his bad mood affected his appetite, but he saved his life.Li Yanyi was very sad, vaguely felt that it was Ah Xin who was secretly protecting her.

The wind on the summer pond quickly blew away the black air. Li Yanyi asked Zhen Wenjun what the poison was, why she knew that even the silver needles could not detect it, and asked her if she saw the poisoner.Zhen Wenjun told her how she discovered Yizhisong, but omitted the matter of burning Wei Tingxu's letter, and casually said that traces of a highly poisonous substance were found when burning useless objects.

"This song poison is colorless, odorless, extremely dangerous, and silver needles can't detect its existence. After being ingested, it will quickly corrode the throat and enter the chest cavity. Once it encounters blood, it will produce a large amount of poisonous gas, which will quickly spread in the corpse. It can swell and even cause an explosion. People who inhale the poisonous gas will also die quickly."

Li Yanguan had known many vicious methods, but this was the first time she had heard of such a vicious poison as Yizhisong.

"Do you know much about poison?" Li Yanyi asked Zhen Wenjun.

Originally, Zhen Wenjun habitually wanted to humble himself and say "know a little bit", but then thought of Azhu's reminder to her, he looked certain, and said loudly:

"Wenjun knows the 630 and two kinds of poisons known now!" Zhen Wenjun did not lie, Jiang Daochang did teach her the method of identifying all poisons, and others may not be able to learn it in three years. The talents were all written down in just one year.She needs to show her face in front of Li Yanyi, and she cannot miss this excellent opportunity.

Li Yanyi stood up and looked at Su Haiyuan in the pool. Lin Quan's body had already collapsed, and the maidservants collapsed into one piece. The terrible black air that seemed to come from the underworld was still floating in the air.

"Wen Jun, Yang Hui, you follow me." Li Yanyi didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he called the two of them to leave quickly with a heavy heart.

At the time of Lin Quan's tragic death, the heavy rain from the south covered Pingcang one after another, and continued to move northward, approaching the capital Runing.

The people in Pingcang rejoiced. Although the spring plowing had passed, the land that had been dry for many days finally received rain. For the hungry and thirsty victims, there was nothing more exciting than a hearty heavy rain.

Countless victims and farmers ran out of their houses, singing and dancing in the heavy rain.However, the canal dug all the way from the south into Beijing was suddenly completed quickly after ten years of stagnation.It is said that the emperor Li Ju recruited all the slaves who built his imperial mausoleum to build the canal. In order to realize the south-to-north water movement as soon as possible to alleviate the disaster, the emperor even suspended his own mausoleum.The meandering canal not only alleviates the flood in the south, but also moistens the cities along the road. Together with the heavy rain, it sweeps away the haze that has shrouded the sky for many years.

At this moment, another unbelievable thing happened to Li Yanyi's ears.

After 46 days in the imperial prison, Hong Ai suddenly vomited blood and died in prison, leaving behind a blood letter confessing his guilt.

In addition to admitting that he embezzled food funds during the disaster relief in Suichuan, he also confessed in the blood book that he had colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country.

"What? Hong Ai died? When did it happen?"

"Just an hour ago."

Li Yanyi was writing a secret letter to Wei Tingxu. After hearing the news that Zhen Wenjun reported to him, he stared at him, then snorted and said, "Could it be that Li Ju thought that as long as Hong Ai was forced to death, he would be punished for all his crimes?" No one can convict Feng Kun? This is too naive."

She put down the pen in her hand, and threw the bamboo piece she had written into the brazier beside her to burn it clean.Hong Ai's death seemed to be a self-destruction after being desperate, but thinking that after Xie Fuchen returned to Runing, he first poisoned Lin Quan to death, and then Hong Ai, who had survived for so long, also died, the matter became more cloudy. around.

At that time, the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, Xie Fuchen took this opportunity to ask Li Ju to imprison Li Yanyi's uncle at that time for the crime of forming a party for self-interest, and even investigated the Geng clan's sons who were officials in the court one by one, and filled all the vacant seats with Li Ju's. people.This move was fierce and unexpected.If the Empress Dowager hadn't been able to survive at that time, and Li Ju was too young to make up his mind, I am afraid that the entire Geng clan would have been doomed.

Xie Fuchen, an old slave, has always acted unexpectedly, even the current Empress Dowager's younger brother dared to attack, how could he know that Hong Ai committed suicide without other calculations.This matter is quite urgent, so I mentioned it to Zi Zhuo first.

Li Yanyi took another new piece of bamboo, wrote a few lines on it, and after the ink dried and disappeared, wrote a sentence on it with light ink: The rice is fragrant, and I look forward to your return.

"Wen Jun." Li Yanyi beckoned Zhen Wenjun to come forward, and asked, "Can you change your handwriting?"

Ever since Zhen Wenjun rescued her and Changsun Yao, Li Yanyi really noticed this little lady.After talking with her all night long, I found that this person is indeed a rare genius. Wei Tingxu didn't boast at first, and was even a little modest.

She knew that not only Lin Quan, but all the capable ministers in her hands were poisoned, seven out of ten died, and the other three survived.And when Lin Quan was poisoned that day, the chef even made lunch for the counselors. There were 860 counselors in total, but all those who ate died, and the remaining more than 100 were either doing errands or missed the time to start the meal. doomed.

This is Xie Fuchen's frenzied revenge.Wei Lun is right, once Xie Fuchen returns to Runing, no matter how stable the victory before, he may reverse it.It is said that Xie Fuchen found a peerless expert from nowhere, this ranger broke into seven heavily guarded mansions overnight, his wives and concubines were still sleeping next to him, and when he woke up the next day, the head of the person next to him was gone, and the mansion None of the guards and slaves, big and small, saw it, and it was as frightening as a ghost.

The moment Xie Fuchen came back this time, the entire Ru Ning court hall was panicked, or Li Yanyi's supporters were disturbed.They were all afraid of Xie Zhongcheng's attack without considering the consequences, and they didn't know if they would be the next to die.

In the past few days, there are obviously fewer people in Li Yanyi's mansion, and there are many absconders and counselors who have been raised by her for many years.Now is the time for employing people, even if Zhen Wenjun is very young and many ideas are immature for the time being, Li Yanyi can only use her to try.

This time Zhen Wenjun really walked to Li Yanyi's side and began to help her find information.And Hong Ai's death was the news she got back from the investigation immediately.

When asked if he would change his handwriting, Zhen Wenjun was still a little guilty, remembering the imitation of Wei Tingxu's handwriting that day.

After nodding, Li Yanyi said with a satisfied smile: "Very good, you copy this letter ten times in different handwriting, and release it in ten directions. And this piece will really be sent out tomorrow night, remember gone?"

Zhen Wenjun took the bamboo piece and said, "Here."

"You keep an eye on the Ting Wei Office for me these few days. Once Guan Xun leaves the Ting Wei Office and goes to the Forbidden Garden, he will come back to me immediately. Then send someone to Geng Mansion and ask uncle to come over."

"Here!"

Here Li Yanyi's secret letter flew out like a migratory bird under the cover of night, while Ting Wei Guan Xun went to meet the emperor overnight holding a blood book.As soon as Guan Xun's carriage arrived at the palace gate, countless pairs of eyes staring at him quietly scattered around and disappeared into the night of Runing.

Li Yanyi's uncle, Gengbai, is already fifty-seven years old. He retired from the court a few years ago and simply planted flowers and grass at home to amuse cats and birds.

A few days ago, someone gave away two peacocks, one blue and one green. They are very pleasing to keep with white cranes.In the past few days, he stayed in the Fengniaoyuan to feed the two peacocks when he had nothing to do. He heard that the servant came to report that the eldest princess's carriage was waiting in front of the door. He wiped his hands and walked out slowly.

According to regulations, the eldest princess should have four red horses with well-proportioned coats, and the width of the car should not exceed one foot. The canopy flags use red and white colors, and peacocks are carved on the shafts and flagpoles.But at this time, the carriage sent by Li Yanyi used six imperial horses with glossy fur, well-proportioned body and black body without a single hair. It took the Son of Heaven to use black and red.Gengbai glanced at the big "Li" character on the corner of the carriage that came to pick him up, so he didn't go up, and asked the servant to load his own carriage, and hung a larger wooden sign on the most conspicuous position. The word "Geng" was written on it with gold lacquer.

The servant was puzzled and said, "Why doesn't Duke Geng take the car arranged by the eldest princess? Isn't it disrespectful?"

Gengbai got into the carriage, closed his eyes and meditated without saying a word.

When they arrived at Huaichen Mansion, Li Yanyi personally went out to pick him up, seeing that Gengbai was not in the carriage arranged by her, he asked, "Why did uncle drive here by himself?"

Geng Bai said: "Your Highness asked me to come because of Hong Ai's suicide, right? Come, let's go in and talk."

When they arrived at the study, Li Yanyi stepped back and said, "Uncle, in your opinion, is there a trap in this matter?"

Geng Bai said: "Your Highness, did you ask someone to find out, did Hong Ai leave anything behind before he died?"

Li Yanyi shook his head: "The boys in the Ting Wei Department keep their mouths tightly shut, they only say what they can say, and don't let out half a sound of what they can't say. I only found out that Hong Ai met Xie Fuchen before he died. I guess it was for abandoning him. Xiao Baoda. I’m afraid that Lin Quan just died and Zuo Xu couldn’t be rescued. If Hong Ai bites us again before he dies, it will be troublesome. Just now the guards came to report that Guan Xun went to meet Li Ju. I think Hong Ai must have left something crucial."

Gengbai stroked his gray beard and said: "Zuo Xu was imprisoned, and the position of ministerial order is vacant, and the emperor has given Xie Fuchen the position of chief minister. Now that Xie Fuchen is both chief minister and Yushi Zhongcheng, the position of ministerial order may make people feel uncomfortable. Yan Zhen, Xie Fuchen's old department, took over. Based on what I know about Xie Fuchen, Hong Ai, who gave up their hard protection at this time, must have a big plan, and it is not impossible to bite back... "

Geng Bai's words made Li Yanyi feel chills in his heart.

"Besides, the heavy rain is about to fall to Runing. The sudden rainstorm in the famine symbolizes auspiciousness. This matter is very beneficial to Li Ju, and it is a great opportunity for him to fight back. Your Highness should sneak into the Forbidden Garden immediately. I am worried that tomorrow morning There may be changes above, except His Highness, nothing can stop Xie Fuchen and Li Ju from joining forces. Your Highness needs to prepare in advance, otherwise if something happens, His Highness may have no chance to go in at that time."

Li Yanyi suddenly realized: "No wonder uncle refuses to ride in my car, that's why."

Li Yanyi asked someone to change her clothes, changed into the clothes of a slave, and boarded Geng Bai's carriage with Geng Bai, and went to the Forbidden Garden in the dark.
