My prime minister has the final say

After Xiao Xu dropped the ball in his hand, "Master Gu, I've accepted it!"

Gu Xiu then put back the white piece he was holding in his hand, his face was very calm, "Your Majesty's chess skills are superb, and the lower officials sigh."

Xiao Xu stared at him, "Master Gu is really too modest. The chess game on the chessboard is nothing more than the entanglement between black and white pieces, but it involves a larger 'chessboard'. Master Gu's view of the overall situation does not matter to all of them. I'm afraid this king will feel ashamed of himself if he drags the game."

"Why, the prince is too modest."

"This king dragged Mr. Gu to play another game of chess. I think it was a waste of Mr. Gu's time. At this moment, Mr. Gu should hurry back to the Ministry of Rites to deal with the matter. Then this king will not keep Mr. Gu anymore!"

"Yes, I will take my leave first." After finishing speaking, Gu Xiu stood up, bowed to the people in front of him, and went straight out of the palace.

Xiao Xu looked at the intricate chess game in front of him, and when he raised his hand, he pushed all of them away and destroyed them.

Standing by the side, Shen Si was a little puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "Does the lord feel that Mr. Gu still has other ideas?"

"Gu Xiu is an old fox. He said that he is completely loyal to the king. Do you believe it?"

"Then the prince still..."

"This person is unfathomable. If you use it well, it's a good move. If you use it wrong, you'll be stuck in the mud." Xiao Xu looked at the black and white chess pieces scattered on the chessboard, and then, one by one. The ones were picked out and placed separately, and I didn't pay much attention to them.

Shen Si was still very confused about these things, but continued: "My lord, does your lord think that what Mr. Gu said just now is feasible?"

"He is indeed right, of course you don't need to mind it. Regarding these, just follow along, but with Gu Xiu, you still need to keep the necessary attention."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

After all, Shen Si left directly...

Ning Wangfu.

"Fourth brother, don't you intend to express anything about uncle's actions? Or, fourth brother has acquiesced to this?" Xiao Yu picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and said this sentence.

Xiao Yue looked at the person sitting opposite, "What does the fifth brother mean by saying this? Or, what did the fifth brother hear from the queen mother?"

Xiao Yu replied: "It's nothing, it's just that the uncle's side is tilted to the fourth brother's side, and the queen mother seems to have given up, and it seems that she doesn't plan to take care of Qi Yang's side."

"Oh? The queen mother is going to completely choose to retreat to the harem to live up to her old age!" Xiao Yue said casually.

"So, fourth brother thinks it doesn't matter?"

"Otherwise, what should fifth brother think?"

When Xiao Yu heard this, he frowned slightly, and said with a slow smile: "How come, since the fourth brother has such thoughts about this, it is of course very good, after all, the person who is in direct contact with uncle is Isn’t fourth brother right? But, doesn’t uncle seem to have an obvious effect? ​​Isn’t fourth brother worried that there will be other mistakes?”

Xiao Yue smiled softly, "Since the general has taken action, let's see what will happen after this action, what do you think, fifth brother?"

Xiao Yu didn't say much in his slow voice. After all, the things involved in it seemed to be disconnected because of this.

……

The General's Mansion, in the study.

The drug slave came out slowly, and Xun Biao said in a concentrated voice, "What? Have you developed your medicine?"

"My lord, the drug slave has always had the medicine, but the drug slave is considering which one is more suitable for the master."

"Then there is now?"

"There is indeed a suitable choice, but there are very few opportunities for the Lord to get close to the Emperor and the others, especially considering the current situation of the Lord, it will also make the Emperor and the others wary."

Xun Biao looked at him and asked, "What? Has your current poison degenerated to this extent?"

Yao Nu explained: "No, this thing needs to be in contact with people to react, please look at it, Lord!" Said, Yao Nu took out a small medicine bag from it, which is no different from a sachet.

Xun Biao was puzzled, "Is this a sachet?"

"Yes, this fragrance is very light, and if you are not careful, you will not pay attention to it, and the smell of the fragrance is very weak, there is no obvious trace at all. If the medicine slave guessed correctly, the emperor is in the imperial study room, and the emperor is reviewing the memorial. It is taken from cinnabar!"

"What do you mean?"

"Then in the imperial study room, the fragrance of ink must be mixed with the smell of cinnabar. As long as this fragrance is mixed with cinnabar, it will produce a highly poisonous smell, but it will be covered by the fragrance of ink, so it is difficult to detect."

"What is the effect of this fragrance?"

"In order to make people less distracted, the onset of the drug's properties is relatively slow. At first, it will make people feel weak, then their limbs will become sore and limp, and finally they will erode the muscles and bones. Finally, they will be unable to breathe and die. This poison surrounds the whole body. It will take a month, but first of all, there must be someone who can get close to the emperor, especially if he can enter the imperial study, Yao Nu finds it difficult, so he is still considering other things."

Xun Biao chuckled, "No, there are suitable people, just take this medicine bag and order someone to make it into an exquisite sachet!"

Yao Nu heard the words of the previous person, and after thinking about it, there was also a possibility of guessing, and said: "The Lord means to give it to the young master? But if the young master knows that the Lord is using the young master, the relationship between the father and the son , will it be because of this..."

"You don't need to think about this matter. Since he is my son, he must pay for the affairs of the Xun family. What's more, if you don't talk about this matter, who will know?" Xun Biao looked at He continued to ask: "I just want to know, is there a cure for this poison?"

"Unless the symptoms are discovered within ten days, otherwise, follow-up will be very difficult. However, the drug slave is not sure about the prime minister's ability to be good at poison, so be conservative. Twenty days... But the onset of this medicine is really not good. Show traces, this..."

Xun Biao knew that this must be the best choice, so he didn't say much, "You go and get ready."

Yao Nu can only follow suit on this, as for other things, even if he wants to do something, he can only follow the trend.

After Yao Nu left, Xun Biao walked out of the study and went straight to the backyard.

He knew that during this time, whenever Xun Huan was free, he would go to accompany Xun Xin.

At this moment, in Xun Xin Courtyard.

"Brother, I'm really fine."

Xun Huan sighed deeply, seeing this, Xun Xin followed the trend and said, "I don't blame anyone for this, I just hope that there will be no involvement in it in the future."

"Does my sister think such an idea is possible?" Xun Huan asked in a condensed voice.

Xun Xin's whole mind sank in an instant. It is impossible for anyone to replace the various things involved, especially she also knows that now her father seems to have...

Standing at the door, Xun Biao heard the two brothers and sisters inside talking about this, and his steps were a little dignified.

Suddenly, Xun Xin called out, "When did father come?"

When Xun Huan heard this sentence, he looked over immediately, but in the end he just stood up and greeted the person in front of him.

Xun Biao seemed powerless about the estrangement between his son and himself, and after a while, he said, "What happened at the gate of the palace that day, after that, being a father was not intentional..."

"What about your father, that's what you should do as an elder. I am your son, no matter what, I should bear it. There can be no second words." Xun Huan replied directly, also cutting off those completely.

"..." Xun Biao was at a loss for words for a moment, all of them were piled up together, unable to speak.

Seeing this, Xun Xin didn't want to see his father and elder brother in such a state, so he wanted to relax, but Xun Huan didn't give him this opportunity, "If the father has something to do with his sister, then the son will retire first. "

When Xun Huan happened to walk out of the door, he bumped into Yao Nu, "My lord!"

Xun Huan looked at the person in front of him, frowned slightly, and stopped walking.

Xun Biao looked away, walked up to Yaonu, and took the sachet, "This is the sachet prepared for my father's order, and you wear it on your body."

"Why use this?"

"People who use poison are hard to guard against. As a father, I hope you can be innocent." Xun Biao said in a rambling voice.

Xun Huan took the sachet from Yao Nu, without saying a word, Xun Biao watched him go out, and was about to tell him, when Xun Huan said first, "Father, don't worry, your son will definitely wear it by your side."

Yaonu stood there, looking at Xun Huan's back as he walked away, feeling a lot of indulging in his heart, but how can he control these things?

Xun Xin saw the sudden change in Yao Nu's face, and turned to look at her father, "Father, why did you think of preparing such a medicine bag for brother? It's really just in case?"

"Yes, you, stay at home now, everything will be fine, and everything will be fine." Xun Biao said reassuringly.

"Daughter doesn't feel that much, some things are destined not to be forced." Xun Xin said: "Daughter hopes that father will stop obsessing over that aspect. What has passed will become the past. Daughter will not pursue it. I hope father can let it go! "

Xun Biao just responded perfunctorily, turned around and walked out.

Yao Nu also left behind.

Xun Xin couldn't figure out a reason, but she always felt that the sachet that her father suddenly gave to her brother was a bit strange, but she couldn't figure out what was the reason for it?

The maid at the side saw Xun Xin's worried look, and said directly to the person in front of her: "Miss, the master and the young master must have their own plans and plans for their affairs, and the lady just needs to be good in the boudoir. Don't worry about that, miss."

Xun Xin sank, but just sighed, indeed, what could she do about it, after all, she could just go with the flow!
