Those years when I was Princess Yan

The atmosphere in the room was suppressed to the point where it was almost breathless, Xu Qingqing looked at Zhu Di's dark face that couldn't be darker, and felt that his character was really awkward.

Obviously the scholar is also a part of his personality, but he particularly dislikes it.Perhaps this is the reason why the two personalities cannot communicate with each other, and they are repelling each other.

pat!

It sounded like something was breaking.

Xu Qingqing followed the sound and noticed that Zhu Di's right hand was just below his waist, as if he was holding the jade pendant around his waist tightly.Xu Qingqing was wondering if Zhu Di broke the jade pendant, when he saw red flowers blooming on his ivory white robe.

Xu Qingqing immediately got up and went to tear his hand away, and she saw blood on his palm.

"Crazy?" Xu Qingqing took out the broken jade and looked at the injury, but luckily it wasn't too severe.She fetched spirits to wipe the wound, and then applied medicine to bandage Zhu Di.

Zhu Di remained silent the whole time, without saying a word.

"Could it be that you are jealous of yourself? Oh, I seem to be very popular." Xu Qingqing tied the gauze into a small bow, looked at Zhu Di who was still gloomy, and said half-jokingly.

"You are Princess Yan." After a while, Zhu Di finally spoke.

Xu Qingqing was a little confused, why did Zhu Di suddenly say such nonsense, swearing sovereignty?

"Why call yourself a bitch." Zhu Di gave Xu Qingqing a cold look, got up and left.

When did she call herself a bitch? ? ?

Xu Qingqing was stunned for a while, and then realized that Zhu Di said "King Dog Swallow" before targeting her.This guy's reflex arc is really long, just because of his long reflex arc, she didn't react in time, and she couldn't make good use of it to quarrel with him, so she let him run away, so annoying!

So he just broke off the jade pendant, and he was angry because of the 'King Dog Yan'?

Sure enough, he was a lunatic, which was hard to figure out.

Xu Qingqing wanted to scold King Yan a few more times to vent her anger, but immediately thought of King Yan's 'reminder' just now, but she couldn't swear, she really felt as if she was scolding herself.

The next day, Zhu Xi and Zhu Yan came to Zhu Di excitedly early in the morning, because the radishes had already been harvested, so they could make an appointment to go goose herding together.

"I'm going to play the hunter today."

"I pretended to be a Taoist priest. In fact, when I was a child, I really wanted to become a monk. I wanted to be a supernatural person with a sense of Taoism and immortality." Zhu Xi raised his chin as he spoke, and brushed off his Taoist robe.

After listening to the third brother's interesting story about their goose herding last night, Zhu Xi was looking forward to today's goose herding, and specially ordered his subordinates to prepare Taoist robes and dust whisks overnight, so of course he must make good use of it now.

Zhu Di looked coldly at the two men's attire. One was wrapped in half a piece of animal skin, with a machete in his hand and a bow and arrow on his back.The other one was dressed in a Qingdao robe, holding a dust whisk in his hand, and put on a silly look of 'I have already seen through the world'.

What the hell, the two majestic princes are no different from three-year-old children.

"Where is the fourth brother? The fourth brother is still pretending to be a scholar today?" Zhu Yan asked curiously.

Before Zhu Di could speak, he heard a clear female voice.

"It's so early?" Xu Qingqing was still wearing a Taoist robe, so she was somewhat similar to Qin Wang Zhu Xi.

Seeing this, Zhu Xi hurriedly cupped his hands: "Fellow Taoist!"

"Fellow daoist!" Xu Qingqing reacted very quickly, and then cooperated with a smile, causing Zhu Di to look at the two of them with disgust again.

"There are wild rabbits in this mountain." Xu Qingqing looked at Zhu Yan's appearance, and suggested, "Instead of pretending, why don't you really come here and try hunting?"

"It makes sense." Zhu Yan advocated hunting, and Zhu Yan had no choice but to accompany him, and it was his 'remote mountain practice'.

"Then the scholar and I will continue to herd geese," Xu Qingqing said.

After the four soldiers were divided into two groups, Xu Qingqing was able to be alone with Zhu Di, and asked about Concubine Zhu Diqi.

Zhu Di quickened his pace and walked forward, as if he didn't hear her words.

After driving the goose to the river, Xu Qingqing stood in front of Zhu Di.

"You think I'm really curious about these secrets? If you want to get better soon, you have to trace the cause of the disease before you can prescribe the right medicine. The prince's illness happened after the death of Concubine Yu, and every time the prince had an attack, he would always think of Concubine Qu. I don't need to tell you. , the prince should also know how important Concubine Yu is." Xu Qingqing said.

Zhu Di frowned slightly, lifted his robe and sat down on the stone by the river.Xu Qingqing also sat down.

The autumn wind blows coolly, and the wormwood on both sides of the river bank is blown left and right. Flocks of big white geese float on the clear water, and the anthuriums twitching underwater are clearly visible.Accompanied by the warm autumn sun and the sound of rushing water, the white geese made a few crisp calls from time to time.

"She is Concubine Gao Li. When she first came here, she couldn't understand the language, and she was pure in heart. Although she was favored, she never flattered or harmed others. She just wanted to hide in a corner of the palace and live a clean life. From the time she brought me up, she devoted herself to me. He took care of me in every detail, even more carefully than my mother treated me. Three years ago, he fell ill and passed away within a month."

The previous narration was quite good, but suddenly a sentence changed, and it was gone.

Xu Qingqing looked at Zhu Di suspiciously, "Then why did she get sick, where were you after getting sick, and how did you get along with her?"

Zhu Di glanced at Xu Qingqing impatiently, not saying anything at all.

Xu Qingqing continued to stare at him for a long while, seeing that Zhu Di had no self-consciousness to confess at all.She took the basket and walked along the river bank, not bothering to pay attention to him.There are many stones of different sizes by the river, and some stones are covered with slippery moss.

A pure white goose egg was lying not far away, half exposed on the water.

Xu Qingqing ran over in a hurry, stepped on the moss, and threw herself into the water with her basket.

The clothes on the back were suddenly lifted up, and with a whoosh, Xu Qingqing landed steadily on the shore, shaking her body.The broad palm pressed against Xu Qingqing's shoulder with strong force, completely stabilizing her body.

"Thank you." Xu Qingqing looked at the densely packed stones in the river. If she fell headfirst, she could imagine how dire the situation would be.The nosebleed from the fall may be minor, and maybe half of the front teeth will be knocked out.

Xu Qingqing glanced at the corner of Zhu Di's robe, rubbing a lot of green moss, which was particularly conspicuous on the clean white robe.Xu Qingqing knew that King Yan liked to be clean, so I'm afraid it would be uncomfortable if it happened like this.

"My lord, hurry back to the Taoist temple, I can drive these geese back by myself."

"Before entering the palace, she had a man she liked in Korea. After she went to bed that time, the emperor was furious and left her in the cold. The palace always came to watch people order food. She suffered a lot of criticism and grievances, so she fell ill. It's gone, and it didn't get better. My father forbade me to see her, and I didn't get to see her until I was dying."

The large pieces of wormwood on the bank of the river were weeping under the caress of the autumn maple, and Zhu Di's voice was faint, hidden in it, as if he had no emotion.

But Xu Qingqing could clearly feel the great sadness hidden behind Zhu Di's words, like a tightly stretched string, suppressing all emotions, maintaining a seemingly complete surface, but in fact, one more light force would The whole string broke instantly.

Xu Qingqing found that Zhu Di's eyes were still cold, but not the usual coldness, but desolation.

Judging from the logic of her narration, Concubine Yu probably inadvertently called out her lover's name that night when she was in bed, which angered the emperor with strong self-esteem, and has been rejected ever since.For a woman who lived in the deep palace, all her fate was naturally determined by the emperor's attitude, and such a miserable result of illness and death was inevitable.

Although Zhu Di didn't show too much emotion, it can be seen from the situation of his split personality that the death of this concubine had a huge psychological stimulation on Zhu Di.The only way to alleviate this situation is to vent emotions and relieve psychological pressure.But judging from Yan Wang's awkward personality, he probably won't vent.

"When is the date of her death?" Xu Qingqing asked.

"The fourth day of September." Zhu Di said.

"It will be here in a few days." Xu Qingqing asked Zhu Di again if he had any relics of Concubine Yu that he could give her.

"What?" Zhu Di looked at Xu Qingqing puzzled.

"You'll know then."

Zhu Di tore off the jade pendant around his waist and handed it to Xu Qingqing. The tassels on the jade pendant were made by Concubine Qi.

Xu Qingqing took off the tassels and returned the jade pendant to Zhu Di.

In the evening, when the two drove the geese back to the Taoist temple, Zhu Yu also came back.The buns of Zhu Fen and Zhu Fen were both slightly messy, with broken hair hanging down, and a few small pieces of dry grass and broken leaves were caught in the hair, which was not easy to remove.Each of the two held a rabbit in their hands, happily showing off the results of their hunting.

"Wow, these two rabbits are really fat. I heard that the rabbits in the nearby mountains are the most cunning. It's really amazing that the two brothers can bring back two in one day." Xu Qingqing praised with a look of admiration, but in fact, the rabbits in the nearby mountains Rabbits are best caught.

Both Zhu Xing and Zhu Bing were satisfied with Xu Qingqing's praise.

Zhu Yan also deliberately hooked Zhu Di's shoulders, "Fourth brother, your wife's mouth is really sweet, your third sister-in-law is far behind her, third brother envies her."

"Second brother is also envious." Zhu Xi echoed.

Zhu Di's face was gloomy, "The two elder brothers should go to take a bath."

"Tsk tsk, he's not happy to praise his wife." Zhu Yan was very upset that Zhu Di didn't show face.

Zhu Xun dragged Zhu Xun away, and it was indeed time for them to take a bath.

For dinner, there were three more dishes on the table, spicy rabbit head, fried rabbit leg and braised rabbit meat.

Originally, the three of them came to the Taoist temple to endure hardships, and they had to eat the simple food of the farmhouse.Suddenly there were three more hearty meat dishes, which made Zhu Yan very happy.After asking, I found out that the prey they brought back by themselves can be eaten as a side dish.

"Fourth brother, then you have to thank us well." Zhu Yan was proud.

"Do you know who made this dish?" Zhu Di asked back.

"Who?" Zhu Yan asked.

Zhu Xi smiled, put a piece of rabbit meat into his mouth, and nodded, "Who else can it be? Of course it's the fourth sibling. One of us hunts, and the other cooks. It's a tie. No one needs to thank the other, it's delicious. Just eat."

"Well, some people's daughters-in-law are amazing." Zhu Bing said sourly, stopped talking nonsense, and ate happily.I will continue to hunt hard tomorrow and add vegetables to the dinner table.

After the three of them ate and drank enough, Zhu Bian took an excuse to take a walk, and walked leisurely towards the back of the mountain, and finally got into the bamboo forest.

Liu Lingxiu had been waiting here for a long time, and when she saw Zhu Min, she immediately saluted.

"Yo, these days have been growing well, the skin is tender and tender." Zhu Yan lifted Liu Lingxiu's chin with the jade fan, and looked at her face, "The tattoos really disappeared."

Liu Lingxiu lowered her eyes cautiously and responded nervously, "It's all thanks to the great blessing of the prince."

"How are things going?"

"Having gained trust, he is very relieved of Minnv, and asked Minnv to help him contact Blacksmith Wang in the capital."

"En." Zhu Yan unfolded his fan and lazily agreed.

"My lord, what you promised to the girl..." Seeing that King Jin suddenly looked at her viciously, Liu Lingxiu immediately stopped talking, knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Bian, "I beg you to help the girl. Those who have been wronged, only the lord can cleanse the daughter of the people. As long as the lord helps the girl achieve her wish, the girl is willing to do anything for the lord."

Liu Lingxiu shed tears as she spoke, she was unwilling to end up in such a predicament, she wanted to live a dignified life.But in order to achieve this wish, she must find a noble person in the court to help her.

Jin Wang is noble, young and handsome, there is no one more suitable than him.If she had to choose, she would naturally choose someone like King Jin. Those senior officials with wrinkled faces or big bellies were really disgusting.

Zhu Yan understood Liu Lingxiu's hint, sneered, hooked her slender fingers around her collar, and stretched his hand in to rub it.

Liu Lingxiu closed her eyes tightly and endured silently.

"It's too small, it's boring." Zhu Yan immediately withdrew his hands, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and discarded the handkerchief.

He has tasted too many beautiful beauties, such as Liu Lingxiu's beauty may be considered tasteful to ordinary men, but to him it is too ordinary, like drinking plain water.Compared with this kind of woman with average beauty but deep scheming, he would rather choose a woman with average beauty but lively temperament and interesting conversation.

While Liu Lingxiu breathed a sigh of relief, she was also a little bit disappointed and scared. She was afraid that Zhu Yan would lose interest in her and kill him directly.

"After the matter is settled, it will be in your own interest." Zhu Yan told Liu Lingxiu to leave.

Liu Lingxiu felt much relieved after hearing the words, kowtowed to Zhu Bian immediately, and got up to leave, but she hesitated a bit when she withdrew.

"Speak." Zhu Yan said impatiently.

"Minnv heard that Xu Qingqing is back. Not only did she recognize Wei Guogong as her father, but she also became Princess Yan." Speaking of this, Liu Lingxiu's lips turned pale, and her clenched hands trembled slightly, but she still remained respectful and bowed her head. Facing Zhu Yan in this state.

Seeing her hatred, Zhu Yan snorted, leaned close to Liu Lingxiu's ear, and almost kissed her earlobe with thin lips, "Do good things first, if you dare to do anything to her, I will throw you away." Go to the barracks, get raped and become pregnant, and then get pregnant and rape until death."

There was a bright and flowery smile on Zhu Fang's bright and handsome face, which was dazzlingly beautiful, but also dangerous, which made one's heart shudder.

Liu Lingxiu retreated with a pale face, not daring to hesitate any longer.

……

Xu Qingqing sneezed twice in the room, feeling as if someone was scolding herself.

After Chu Qiu told Xu Qingqing about the recent expansion of the Taoist temple, he stretched his neck to look around, and then whispered to Xu Qingqing: "The carpenter Gongshu went to the north to pick up wood, and he will probably be back in a few days. After you leave He often asks about your news, I guess if he knows that you are now Princess Yan, he will be disappointed and sad."

"Shut up, okay." Xu Qingqing could feel that the little carpenter was more or less special to her.But good luck tricks people, now she is married regardless of whether it is true or not, those things that have not had time to sprout in the past should disappear with the wind, there is no need to mention it again.

Chu Qiu nodded and agreed, that's true, now Qingqing is married, not to mention that nothing happened between them, even if there is anything, they should break up.

Speaking of which, King Yan has been living in Ping An Guan for two days, and everyone has already figured out the work, rest and living habits of Lord Yan.Chu Qiu felt that the plan she had discussed with her junior sisters could be implemented.

Early in the morning, the white mist covered the sky, and people or things beyond three feet could not be seen clearly.

Zhu Di came back from practicing martial arts in the back mountain. On the way, he met a Taoist nun carrying water. Seeing that she was about to put down her shoulder pole to salute, he waved his hand to signal her not to do so.

"How can this be done? The abbot senior sister used to teach us to be upright and to observe etiquette. We can throw away everything, but these two things cannot be thrown away." After the Taoist nun saluted, she hurried away.When walking, because I was too nervous, my feet were unsteady, and a lot of water in the bucket splashed out.

Zhu Di cast a sidelong glance at the Taoist aunt, and continued walking forward.After a while, I saw Xin'er cleaning the fallen leaves with a small broom.

Xin'er was familiar with scholars before, she was young and simple-minded, and didn't know so much about the world, so when she saw Zhu Di, she was not as scared as other Taoist nuns, and she ran over happily immediately after losing her broom.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Di looked down at Xin'er, the coolness in his eyes lessened by three points.

"Xin'er greets the lord." Xin'er saluted Zhu Di obediently, her movements were serious and serious, as if she had been deliberately taught.

Zhu Di smiled.

Xin Er immediately ran to the wall and gave Zhu Di a bouquet of wild flowers picked early.

"Why do you want to send this king?" Zhu Di asked.

"Put it in the room, and it will make you feel very good." Xin'er smiled sweetly, and continued, "In the past, the abbot and senior sister took care of Xin'er. She took very good care of her. Now Xin'er also wants to honor the abbot's senior sister and Wang Ye's senior sister-in-law."

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and took the bouquet of wild flowers.

After returning to Tongda Court, a Taoist nun came to deliver the meal. After the meal was served, the Taoist nun nervously wanted to look in Zhu Di's direction several times, but failed.The man refused to leave, obviously he had something to say.

"What do you want to say?" Zhu Di picked up the chopsticks and glanced at her casually, and the nun felt that she had been seen through.

"Poor, poor Taoist... I want to say that these dishes are made by the senior abbot who taught the poor Taoist. Although they are not as ingenious as the senior abbot, they can do everything, but the taste should be okay. Please use it slowly, my lord!" the Taoist finished. After saying these words, he felt relieved, saluted quickly, and left in a hurry.

Zhu Di put down his chopsticks, picked them up again, and ate as usual.

After a while, Xu Qingqing smiled and came to see Zhu Di to release the geese together.

After Zhu Di cleaned his hands, he said coldly: "I won't go today, you follow me into the city."

"How can you say that you don't want to go? The army is watching. They record it every day. After a while, they will make a booklet and report it to the emperor." Xu Qingqing reminded Zhu Di not to be lazy.The empress has strict requirements in this regard, if they don't follow them, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit after returning to Beijing in the future.

"The prince has something to tell me to do, no problem." Zhu Di said.

"Then I'll change clothes." Xu Qingqing immediately agreed, of course she was happy to go out.

The two wore plain clothes and rode into the city, only Qiu Fu followed.

After arriving at Fengyang City, the three of them led the horse and slowly entered the city.

Seeing a seller of candied haws, Xu Qingqing excitedly called the seller over and asked Zhu Di and Qiu Fu if they wanted to eat.Zhu Di responded silently, but Qiu Fu immediately shook his head in thanks and said he would not eat.

Xu Qingqing knew that Zhu Di didn't like sweets, but she just asked for a bunch of candied haws to eat by herself.She took one bite at a time, eating crisply and sharply.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing ate up a whole bunch of candied haws.

Qiu Fu suppressed the corner of his mouth as hard as he could, lowered his head deeply, tried to reduce his sense of existence, and pretended not to see, he was really afraid that the prince would silence him because of this.

After Xu Qingqing finished eating, she happily continued to line up to enter the city, completely unaware that there was still a piece of sugar residue stuck to the corner of her mouth.

Zhu Di frowned and looked at her for a while, seeing that she was unconscious, impatiently took out the handkerchief in his hand and handed it to her.

"Why?" Xu Qingqing took a look, but didn't answer.

Zhu Di directly pressed the handkerchief on her mouth.

It was only then that Xu Qingqing felt something stick to her mouth, and murmured dissatisfiedly: "It's so easy to say, it's really... If it's a scholar, it won't be like this."

His knife-like eyes immediately cut to Xu Qingqing's face.

Xu Qingqing kept silent, wiped her mouth silently, and silently greeted King Yan 380 times in her heart.

"Be upright, abide by etiquette, kind-hearted and careful, proficient in medical skills, ingenious, and capable of everything."

Xu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, Monk Zhanger couldn't figure it out, King Yan had disliked her just now, why did he suddenly praise her now?I'm afraid that King Yan is not just mentally ill with split personality?

"It's in vain that your junior sisters have painstakingly praised you this morning." Zhu Di continued.

Xu Qingqing was even more confused.

"They ran to the prince and praised me like this?"

"why?"

Zhu Di sneered and followed the crowd into the city.

Xu Qingqing scratched her head and thought for a while, and finally figured out the purpose of the junior sisters engaging in these obsessive operations.It's really confusing, none of them opened their eyes to take a good look, just because of King Yan's virtue, even if they cut their mouths and praised her to the sky, King Yan would not believe it.Why waste your time on the dog man, why not eat melon seeds if you have that free time.Before leaving the city for a while, she bought them a big bag of melon seeds.

Afterwards, Xu Qingqing was taken to a house. Seeing that the yard was not big, there were only two houses. There were herbs in the yard, and there were many kinds of them. Either there were many patients with different diseases in the family, or she was a doctor who knew a lot. Doctor's house.

A middle-aged man with a goatee opened the door, looking at the three of them as if they were strangers.

"Excuse me, is Zhou Chuansheng here?" Qiu Fu asked.

"I am, are you?" Zhou Chuansheng looked at them suspiciously, his eyes finally settled on Zhu Di, as if he felt familiar, and then found the Nine Chi Jade Pendant on his waist, he was so scared that he took two steps back and his hands began to tremble.

Chi, one of the nine sons born to the dragon, the nine chi jade pendant carved out of such top-quality jade, without even thinking about it, must belong to the prince.

Immediately Zhu Di strode in, and Qiu Fu closed the door tightly.

A woman holding a child came out of the west wing, and asked with a smile who was here.

Zhou Chuansheng hurriedly sent the woman to take the child back to the house, then turned around tremblingly, knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Di.

"Physician Zhou returned to his hometown for seven years. He has lived a good life, and he has become more courageous." Qiu Fu said sarcastically, and hung Liu Lingxiu's portrait for Zhou Chuansheng to see.

When Zhou Chuansheng saw the person in the portrait, he trembled with fright, and he was so busy that he didn't dare to look up again.

It was only then that Xu Qingqing realized that this person should be the one Zhu Di said earlier, who could erase the tattoo on the prisoner's face in Fengyang.It seems that he helped Liu Lingxiu get rid of the tattoo on his face.

Xu Qingqing was curious about what method she used. After asking, she got the ointment, sniffed it carefully, and tried it on her hand a little. She felt a slight burning sensation.Xu Qingqing immediately wiped off the ointment on her hand with a handkerchief, and probably understood the principle of the ointment to remove words.The ointment will slowly burn the skin, causing the tattooed skin to fall off and then regenerate.

"This kind of method can't be completely removed at one time, and it will take at least two months to completely remove it." Zhou Chuansheng confessed honestly.

At least two months, but it has been less than two months since Liu Lingxiu was taken into prison, and the tattoos on her face are long gone.In other words, it is very likely that she took this medicine when she was in prison in Fengyang Mansion.

"When did you meet her?" Xu Qingqing asked.

"About two months ago," Zhou Chuansheng said, "she knocked on the door suddenly and asked me to remove the tattoo on her face with 300 taels of silver.

"You're smart, you know how to save your life and don't ask too many questions." Qiu Fu snorted contemptuously.

"This is too strange. If Liu Lingxiu could have left the prison in Fengyang Mansion a long time ago, why would he have to rob Hu Baitian a month later? Wouldn't it be unnecessary?" Xu Qingqing was puzzled. Is the person in the prison in Fengyang Mansion really Liu Lingxiu?"

After Qiu Fu was ordered to go to Fengyang Mansion for questioning, he reported to Zhu Di and Xu Qingqing, "It's her. Occasionally, the jailer will catch a glimpse of her. There is no doubt that it is Liu Lingxiu herself. Before she was exiled, she also confirmed her identity. At that time, her face The tattoos on her face are still there. But because her face is dirty, no one pays attention to how deep the tattoos are on her face."

Xu Qingqing looked at Zhu Di, "The prison in Fengyang Mansion allows prisoners to come in and out at will?"

"My subordinates guess that someone in Fengyang Mansion should have helped Liu Lingxiu. Although the guards in the prison can't be airtight, they can be regarded as strict. However, the jailers don't have detailed records of the officials who come and go to interrogate prisoners, and it's been such a long time No one remembers it long ago. If Liu Lingxiu wants to get in and out of the prison without anyone noticing, it will not be easy for people to remember by taking this legitimate path." Qiu Fu speculated.

"That's right, the person who lured Liu Lingxiu out knew the situation in the prison of Fengyang Mansion very well, and they were indeed assisting insiders." Xu Qingqing sighed.

Qiu Fu still didn't understand a little bit, "Since you want to get the ointment from Zhou Chuansheng, just ask someone to come here to buy it. Why take the risk of letting Liu Lingxiu come here in person, and then send her back to the prison?"

"The dosage of the medicines in this ointment should be adjusted according to the skin condition of each person, as well as the depth of the tattoo. If it is too little, it will not be cleansed, and if it is too much, it will burn the skin excessively and easily disfigure the face." Xu Zhou Chuansheng trembling explained.

This can explain why Liu Lingxiu must come in person.

"It seems that the person who helped Liu Lingxiu is not only a member of the official family, but also very familiar with this skill of Imperial Doctor Zhou." Xu Qingqing glanced at Zhou Chuansheng and asked him how many people knew about this skill.

"When Cao Min was an imperial doctor, he was ordered to use it once. Everyone knew about it. After returning to Fengyang, his wife talked about it, so many relatives and friends knew about it." Zhou Chuansheng obediently explained everything.

Zhu Di never expected that there would be such a strange and surprising involvement in the investigation of an unremarkable fugitive.No wonder the concubine was in the capital before, so she had to mobilize people to check the inn where Liu Lingxiu was staying.This Liu Lingxiu is indeed not an ordinary person, even in a prison she can make a fool of herself.

Zhu Di ordered Qiu Fu to investigate the matter with all his strength, and if there was any abnormality, he would report it immediately.

Xu Qingqing knew that King Yan's interest in Liu Lingxiu's case was entirely because of her, and was planning to thank him, so he coldly asked for conditions first.

"It's not for nothing to help you."

Xu Qingqing was taken to another private house by Zhu Di. This house was even more dilapidated. There lived an old couple and a young man nearly 20 years old.But this man seemed to be out of his mind. When he saw them, he screamed in fear, hid behind the old couple, and looked at them with only a pair of eyes in fear.

The couple knew Qiu Fu, and after learning the identity of King Yan, they immediately brought their son Li Mao to salute.

"Look." Zhu Di signaled Xu Qingqing to check on Li Mao's situation.

Xu Qingqing glanced at Zhu Di suspiciously, wanting to pinch her waist and get mad at Zhu Di on the spot.What does this take her for, a genius who specializes in treating mental patients?So far, she has only one experience in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness—Yan Wang, you!

Because of the scene, Xu Qingqing didn't feel like having a seizure, so she put a handkerchief on Li Mao's wrist and checked his pulse.

"Phlegm obstructs the heart vessels, stagnation of liver qi."

"Genius doctor, can my son's illness be cured?" At the introduction just now, because of Princess Yan's special status, Qiu Fu didn't directly explain it, and introduced that Xu Qingqing was a doctor and came to treat Li Mao specially.

Xu Qingqing and Zhu Di looked at each other and shook their heads. She really can't cure this mental illness.

The old couple were very sad when they heard the words, but they also expected this result, and probably asked doctors to see them often.

Zhu Di sent them away, leaving only himself, Xu Qingqing and Li Mao in the house.

"Try the mantra of kind words." Zhu Di said.

Xu Qingqing glared at him: "You can use the good words spell on everyone. It only works if a normal person has a heart disease and breaks his heart defense. The prince knows what his heart defense is? Besides, he is not a normal person."

"Used to be a normal person." Zhu Di asked Xu Qingqing if she knew Hu Weiyong.

Xu Qingqing nodded, of course she knew that Wei Guogong had been guarding the border all these years, and Hu Weiyong was recommended to rise all the way in the court, and now he has been promoted to Prime Minister Zuo, ranking first among the officials.He has a deep sense of favor and is recognized by the emperor, but in fact he is a treacherous minister who is arrogant and domineering when he gains power.

Now is probably the time when Hu Weiyong is at his most rampant. The princes are young and suffering hardships in herding geese in Fengyang, so they may not be able to intervene in government affairs.The prince is in court, so he is probably also worried about this matter.The person who shakes the emperor's favor, the important minister of the humerus of the country, is not a matter that can be resolved with a touch of mouth, even if it is a prince of a country.

"Last month you were busy preparing for the wedding, and you were in your boudoir, so you never knew about the major events in Wei Guogong's mansion." Zhu Di said.

Xu Qingqing immediately became serious, and hurriedly asked Zhu Di what he meant by this.

"A few days ago when your father was in court, he saw Hu Weiyong being arrogant and domineering, playing power for personal gain. He hated him so much that he was treacherous, so he directly told his father what he did. But because there is no evidence, and father has always trusted Hu Weiyong After hearing Hu Weiyong's defense, I believed that the two had just had a private misunderstanding, which made your father so angry that he couldn't speak. Fushou was exposed when he failed."

Zhu Di didn't tell Xu Qingqing that the person he found was his shadow guard, because he was worried that Xu Qingqing would use tricks to escape marriage, so he sent many shadow guards to guard Wei Guogong's mansion.But I didn't expect such a coincidence to stop such a plot to poison the court officials in time.

Xu Qingqing never expected that when she was preparing for her wedding, Xu Da was in danger of her life.For such a big matter, the whole family actually kept everything a secret, and no one told her.To make her marry happily?

Xu Qingqing carefully recalled that at the beginning, Xie Shi and Xu Da's emotions were not normal for a few days. She asked about it, and they only said that they were reluctant to marry her so soon.Xu Qingqing didn't think much about it, she never thought it was because someone wanted to poison Xu Da to death.

Although Xu Da, a cheap father, was a bit nosy and caused her to have a messy oolong on her wedding night, he was indeed a good father who treated her well and cared for her sincerely.

Thinking that Xu Da was almost poisoned to death by Hu Weiyong before her wedding, and Fushou had been insisting that he was ordered to let Hu Weiyong get away with it, Xu Qingqing became very angry.Even though she knew that Hu Weiyong would not end well sooner or later, Xu Qingqing didn't want to let him be high-spirited and carefree outside.

Xu Qingqing: "What about him, what does he have to do with Hu Weiyong?"

Since King Yan specifically mentioned Hu Weiyong at this time, it means that the mentally disturbed man in front of him must be related to Hu Weiyong.

"Previously, Yushi Zhongcheng Liu Ji had impeached Hu Weiyong. When Liu Ji was sick and asked for leave, Hu Weiyong was ordered to bring a doctor to visit him. Liu Ji drank the medicine boiled by the doctor Hu Weiyong brought, and died of chronic poisoning. Later, the doctor fell and died because of drunkenness , Li Mao was his apprentice and an eyewitness on the day of the incident."

"Why is he crazy? He scared himself like this because he was afraid of being silenced?" Xu Qingqing asked.

Zhu Di: "Almost."

Xu Qingqing turned her head to look at Li Mao, and found that Li Mao was curled up in a corner, covering her ears with her hands.

Covering his ears meant that he wasn't completely crazy yet, and more or less felt that the content of their conversation was what he was most afraid of.

"Okay, I'll try."

Xu Qingqing squatted in front of Li Mao, and Li Mao was so frightened that he shrank even more towards the wall, wishing he could stick his whole body against the wall.

"Do you really want to go on like this for the rest of your life and be a waste that drags your parents down? I'm afraid it's useless. Looking back, Hu Weiyong knows you are here, and he will still kill you. Instead of living crazily and in danger of dying at any time, it's better to work hard. One, stand up bravely and tell what you saw and heard that day. King Yan and Duke Wei will do their best to ensure your safety. You will have a clear conscience, and you will have the opportunity to stand upright in the sun, marry a wife and have children in the future , so be filial to your parents."

Li Mao covered his ears at first, shaking his head frantically to dodge, unwilling to hear Xu Qingqing's words.But when Xu Qingqing talked more and more, he gradually became silent and stopped moving.

I actually listened to it.

After Xu Qingqing and Zhu Di looked at each other, they recited the mantra of kindness. Seeing that Li Mao's eyes showed signs of emptiness, she immediately said something to encourage him to face his fears and move forward bravely.

Li Mao became more and more quiet, and finally put his hands down from his ears, looked down at the ground, and then burst into tears.

He stood up suddenly and ran out madly!
