Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Chapter 44 Longevity Poisoning

That day, several people from Zhu Dingbei ate lunch at the tenant's house, took a break, and went up the hill with the farmer's children to dig out a lot of treasures before leaving.

Unexpectedly, on the way back to the city, they met the chariots and horses of Prince Ye's mansion, and the groom hurriedly avoided to give way.

King Ye didn't rush on his way, but when he heard that it belonged to Lou's family, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he came down to say hello and asked a few words. King Ye laughed and said, "Shang Shuxiu went to the farmland to take care of the water dragon on holidays. He was really dedicated to his duty. The emperor shared his worries and solved his problems. Ye felt deeply ashamed."

Lou Shangshu hurriedly said that he didn't dare to do it.

King Ye turned his head to look at the two obedient children who were exactly the same, and then at the child who was born a little bit, and teased them: "I saw these two little dolls last year. They were very lively at the time. Why is it a mouse today?" Seeing Mao Lide, are you still being polite with Xiao Wang?"

Lou Anning's scalp tightened.

After making a joke in Huajie that night, he was terrified of seeing this King Ye, seeing him mentioning the last time we met, afraid that he would tell his heroic deeds in front of Lou Shangshu, he blinked and blinked immediately, thinking of countermeasures.

Lou Ankang said: "His Royal Highness Ye, I was too young to be sensible last year, and I knew I was offended when I was a year older. Please don't take offense, Your Highness."

King Ye laughed straight after hearing this, pointed at him and said, "You are An Ning, so this is the naughty Ankang? Your brothers look exactly the same, Xiao Wang guessed it right?"

Lou Anning hurriedly put on an expression that was no different from her elder brother, and said in the same tone: "His Royal Highness, I am An Ning, and he is my elder brother Ankang."

"Oh?"

King Ye glanced at their brothers, seeming suspicious.

Seeing that the two grandsons were not at ease, Lou Shangshu came out and said, "Your Highness is coming in the same direction as me, I wonder if it is?"

King Ye said: "There is a lotus in Zhuangzi that blooms very well. My mother and concubine come to see it every year. This year's summer is too hot, and she can't go there because of palace duties, so I asked people from the mansion to go there to spend a lotus scene Picking another flower and sending it back to the palace for my mother and concubine to enjoy is not an important matter."

Lou Shangshu said with a smile: "Your Highness is benevolent and filial, the imperial concubine must like it very much."

King Ye laughed, and asked again: "Which family does this child belong to? It looks strange to me."

Zhu Dingbei took a step forward and said, "Zhu Dingbei, the Marquis of Zhenbei, pays homage to His Royal Highness King Ye."

In fact, he had already met the ceremony with everyone just now, but being raised by King Ye, he had to spend some red tape.

Upon hearing this, King Ye clasped his hands together and laughed, "What a coincidence!"

"Greetings to the emperor's grandmother in the morning. It's kind of like the emperor's grandmother and Ah Heng talked about a child named Changsheng. I said that someone liked her so much and wanted to have a chance to meet her. It didn't happen. We are so destined. "

Zhu Dingbei grinned, and said: "His Highness Lao is very worried, and I am extremely terrified."

King Ye waved his hand, he didn't like to hear such nonsense.He looked at Zhu Dingbei for a few more times, and saw that his appearance was pleasing, white and tender, and he really didn't look like a man from the Zhu family, so he said a few more words to him before leaving.

The Lou family and their party returned to the carriage.

Lou Ankang breathed out and said, "His Royal Highness Ye Wang is very filial."

Lou Anning was afraid that he would think of the unpleasant past when he saw King Ye, and seeing that his elder brother didn't show him any face, he immediately smiled and said, "King Ye loves to do such arty things, think about it, the imperial concubine is from Liangzhou , I never raised lotus when I was a child, but it became my favorite in Luojing, I don't believe it."

Who doesn't know that His Majesty the Emperor does not have many hobbies. What outsiders know is that he likes to appreciate landscapes and paintings. It is not certain who likes this lotus.

Lou Ankang coughed, not allowing him to talk nonsense.

Seeing that his grandpa didn't say anything, Lou Anning was not afraid of his elder brother, so he continued talking: "The imperial concubine is the one who took advantage of this surname. Huang Guifei, Huang Guifei, if any other empress besides her is promoted to The position of imperial concubine, wouldn't she be pissed off to death?"

"A-Ning, don't joke about the nobleman."

Lou Ankang warned him angrily.

"Changsheng is not an outsider." Lou Anning muttered, but in the end he didn't say any more.

Zhu Dingbei pinched his bulging face and said, "I heard that the imperial concubine also has a fifth princess who is also getting married this year?"

Lou Anning nodded straight: "Sister Huarong is in the first ten days of August, and the fifth princess is also in August, it seems to be two days earlier."

Ghost Festival in July has never been the day chosen by the weddings of the children of the family, but it is a perfect day in August, so many people get married at that time.

Lou Ankang followed up and said: "Your Majesty entrusts the palace affairs to the concubine and concubine Shu to assist, and it happens that the five princesses are the Lord, so it's no wonder that they are so busy that they don't even have time to enjoy the lotus. I have heard that the The lotus pond in the Royal Villa is the best in Luojing, and the concubines and concubines would accompany His Majesty the Emperor to see it once every year."

Lou Shangshu was dozing off with his eyes closed, he opened his eyelids after hearing what they said, and closed his eyes again after a while.

Lou Anning curled her lips and said in a low voice: "Is there no lotus in a pond? It's fine when it's blooming, but it's dirty when it's not blooming. What's so good about it? Doesn't His Majesty get tired of seeing it every year? "

"What else do you know besides eating, kid?"

Lou Ankang imitated Zhu Dingbei's tone and spat at him.

The three children were joking about royal affairs, but they didn't know that King Ye would also talk about them with Emperor Zhenyuan and his mother when he entered the palace.

Concubine Huang liked his filial piety very much, and Emperor Zhenyuan took time out of his busy schedule to eat with her, which made her even more elated, so hearing him talk about the two children of Lou's family were eccentric, completely different from Lou Shangshu's gentle and serious appearance, He also said that the little grandson of Zhenbei Hou's mansion is white and small, he really doesn't look like a child of the Zhu family, he looks like a little girl, covered his mouth and smiled: "I saw that child on New Year's Eve. On the one hand, it is very painful."

"Oh?" Emperor Zhenyuan also became interested, "I heard that the child of the Zhu family is ten-year-old Dingsheng's tiger-headed tiger-headed child, and I thought he could compete with Ning Heng."

"The child is ten years old?"

King Ye was surprised and didn't seem to be fake, "I really can't tell. It's only this tall, and it looks fleshy, white and tender. It looks smaller than Yuhang."

Emperor Zhenyuan just smiled when he heard this, and thought in his heart, it seems that Ning Heng's statement that the child has inadequacy is true.

However, for the young masters in Beijing, it's better to be more pleasing.

After resting and bathing, it entered July, and the heat got worse, and it was very good to sleep accompanied by the chirping of cicadas and birds.

The masters stared at him more loosely, and Zhu Dingbei suffered from a relapse of his old illness, wishing he could not wake up every day. Several masters lamented that he was not a child.

Qin Xi always felt emotional: "You should let my grandpa see your true face. Except that you are a little higher than me in the exam, how can I have a correct attitude."

Lou Anning laughed at him unceremoniously after hearing this: "Eternal life is to sleep and listen to lectures, and you can get a second grade in the monthly exam. Who is like you? If you paste you on the wall, you will be a puddle of mud."

"Hey, how did Lou Er talk?"

Qin Xi was annoyed, and Lou Anning gave him a grimace with a smile.

Ning Heng grasped Zhu Dingbei's pulse, Lou Ankang didn't care about those two heartless guys, he came up to him and asked, "Is Changsheng okay, it's okay to be sleepy all day long."

Boys of their age are just when they can't run out of energy, and they seem to live forever, and they can fall asleep while sitting.

Zhu Dingbei yawned big with his mouth open, lying on Ning Heng's shoulders as if his body was boneless, and said listlessly: "I don't know, I feel like I haven't slept enough these days."

Ning Heng frowned, and took a while to remove his hand.

After school that day, Zhu Dingbei didn't get in the carriage, and said he wanted to get on the horse and blow the wind to wake him up, so Ning Heng rode back with him.

On the way, Zhu Dingbei went around the street to a pastry shop and bought a bunch of fruit cakes to tie on the saddle to take home. "My grandmother loves the pastries here and said they are good at craftsmanship. I didn't taste it, but I heard from the shopkeeper There will be lotus cakes on sale in a few days, I will buy another dozen."

He was cheerful, and Ning Heng had no choice but to keep a smile on his face, looking a little gloomy.

Walking in the noisy place, Zhu Dingbei was careful not to bump into people with his horse, and walked close to Ning Heng, and asked him, "What do you want to say to me, it's been smeared in ink for a long time."

He looked at Ning Heng suspiciously, always feeling that this kid did something wrong to him to be so embarrassing.

Ning Heng was silent for a moment before he said, "I suspect someone changed your medicine."

"What kind of medicine?" Zhu Dingbei paused, and said, "You mean that the reason I've been sleepy recently is because my medicine was changed?"

Ning Heng nodded, "It's a kind of purple licorice. The taste of this herb is similar to licorice after drying, and the sweetness is equal, but it can make people feel drowsy. It's a poisonous herb. If you take its purple juice directly, the toxicity will be even stronger. If you take it for a long time... your bones will be weak, your body will be empty, and you cannot use force. In the later stage, you will be weak and sick, and your life span will not be long."

Zhu Dingbei's expression changed.

The medicine he drank was tortured by Shuisheng himself, not by others.And the medicine package was prepared and sent directly from Ningheng Mansion, there is no problem between the two sides, so there is only one possibility.

Someone sneaked into Zhenbeihou's mansion and exchanged his medicine bag.

"What is my situation now?"

Zhu Dingbei stared and asked.

Ning Heng was taken aback, he didn't expect him to be so calm, and he didn't feel afraid of the harm he suffered, let alone surprise.

"...There is an incubation period of five to ten days. Your symptoms have been there for a few days, but they are still short-term. If you stop taking the medicine for a few days, there will be no serious problems." Ning Heng said, his face getting colder and colder. Glancing at the bustling crowd, he continued: "You decoct the medicine as usual, and bring me some medicine dregs tomorrow, so don't scare the snake away."

Zhu Dingbei agreed.

Since that person has the ability to change the medicine package, he must also know whether he has taken the medicine, Zhu Dingbei dare not be careless.

In the evening, Lord Hou asked about Zhu Dingbei, and heard Zhu San say that his grandson went back to sleep in the yard early.He raised eyebrows curiously: "Little lamb, I went to bed so early these days, is it because I am too tired from schoolwork?"

Zhu San: "Didn't the doctor say that the young master's sleeping too well is not good for his development? I see that the young master's complexion is rosy recently, and he is full of energy. He must be fine."

What he didn't know was that Zhu Dingbei had slept enough in the school for the past few days, and when he returned home, he was in unprecedentedly good spirits, but he couldn't keep it for long.

Seeing that Zhu Dingbei had poured the medicine and asked him to take the medicine residue, Shui Sheng couldn't help being terrified.

He did it without saying a word, and obediently avoided everyone's eyes and ears, including the servants of the Hou Mansion.

Zhu Dingbei lay on the bed thinking who was going to kill him?

Using this kind of medicine that ruined his foundation...could it be Emperor Zhenyuan's order?

But this is only the 21st year of Zhenyuan, is it necessary for the emperor to be so wary and attack a child who is not a threat to him?It's still such a rough method, if you pay a little attention, you can find out his symptoms if you find a doctor.The emperor will never be so sloppy in doing things.

If not him, then who?

The Zhenbeihou Mansion has never made any enemies, and has a simple relationship with Luo Jingzhong's family. It is only those few families that have contacts. Occasional conflicts should not reach the point of attacking an innocent child.

Or maybe the person who poisoned him didn't target the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but had a grudge against him?

Zhu Dingbei smiled wryly. In his previous life, the number of people who killed him was not enough, but in this life...he looked at his white and harmless palms. Except for some unpleasant little frictions in the school, he usually went out rarely, so he definitely wouldn't be able to put them on his hands. Who offends to the point of killing him.

Even that stupid ass Ma Chao, he believed that the other party did not have this ability.

When Zhu Dingbei was thinking about the mastermind behind the scenes, Ning Heng was also thinking: Who is it?
