The salted fish boss was forced to bind the rich system

When Xanth returned to the Prince's Mansion, it was almost dinner time.

The dinner at the Prince's Mansion was very sumptuous, but no one was in the mood to savor it carefully.The two had a quick meal, and just about to exchange and analyze the information collected today, they heard a maid knocking on the door.

On the fifth day, when I went to open the door, I saw the maid who was taking care of the child and the nurse holding the crying baby. Both of them had expressions of fear on their faces. I don't know what happened to the little emperor, he kept crying after dinner, and he found nothing wrong with the imperial doctor, so, so..."

On the fifth day, he skillfully carried the child over, patted it lightly a few times, and the crying gradually subsided, and the maids and nurses outside the door all breathed a sigh of relief.On the fifth day, guessing that the child might want to stay with his parents, he calmed down the two panicked servants outside the door, and carried the child into the house.

"What's going on?" Xanthium repeatedly recalled what he saw today in the room, not paying attention to what he did just now on the fifth day.Seeing that there was a child in his hand suddenly, he asked casually.

On the fifth day, he smiled and replied: "The child is looking for his mother." As he said that, he made a move to hand over the child to Cocklebur.

Xanthium waved his hands again and again: "No, I'm not his mother. I hugged him, and he cried even harder."

"It's okay, I'll fall asleep in a while."

On the fifth day, when the baby was put on the bed, both Xanthium and the baby Lu Huaizhou thought in their hearts that they would "dodge a catastrophe".

Xanth really didn't like dealing with children, but Lu Huaizhou felt that the position of Xanth holding him was really uncomfortable.

Why did Lu Huaizhou, who had been reduced to a baby, keep crying after dinner?If he didn't cry, he wouldn't be able to see the fifth day and cocklebur at all, and he couldn't know what they had done.They all came with missions. I don't know if others will take him seriously. At least his assistants and his old friends will definitely be serious and responsible to the end, so he really wants to share information with them.

Crying was his only weapon as a baby.

Fortunately, the fifth day is caring and knows how to take care of children. This trick should still work before he learns to speak.

After settling the child down, on the fifth day, he sat across from Cang'er, and told Cang'er all the situation in the court that he had heard from the teacher of the prince today. god listen.

When Lu Huaizhou heard that the cocklebur also met the emperor, his ears perked up.

He guessed that the person who secretly asked to meet Xanthium must have status, but he didn't expect that the emperor was so seriously ill that he would be so anxious to see him today.

Lu Huaizhou is still guessing whose soul the emperor's insides are now.Recalling that there was only one person on the round table at that time, Lu Huaizhou's head was about to grow big, it was really strange.He doesn't expect too much, he just hopes to be someone who is easy to communicate with, and the ideal candidate may be five or six.But the answer announced by Xanthium is another person.

At the beginning when the six people they were chosen entered the world, everyone had a chance to invite someone.Lu Huaizhou chose to invite Wu Tian, ​​and Xanth also invited one of his subordinates named Xiang Yang.

Now Emperor Zheng Fengshi's body is Xiangyang.

According to Xiang Yang, he felt very uncomfortable when he came here. Not only was he anxious and exhausted, but he also found that this body also had symptoms of poisoning.

Xiang Yang grew up with cocklebur in Cang'er Mountain, and he knew a lot of herbs and poisons, and his personality was meticulous and cautious. He said that if he had symptoms of poisoning, he would be right.

It's just that what is the source of this poisoning, Xiang Yang has not been able to figure it out on the first day he came here.

As an emperor, all the things he wants to import will be served after someone has tested the poison. Even if it is the medicine he is drinking recently, he must find someone to drink it first and confirm that there is no problem before giving it to him. It will be hard to get hands and feet in his diet.

If it wasn't for diet problems, and there was no possibility of injection in ancient times, Xiang Yang couldn't think of any other ways for a while.

After listening to Xanthium's retelling, on the fifth day, I came up with an idea: "What about inhaled poisonous gas?"

"Do you mean?"

"Does the emperor have the habit of sleeping with soothing incense?"

Cocklebur rolled his eyes.The time he met with Xiang Yang was very short, the emperor's physical condition was not strong enough to support Xiang Yang outside for too long, and it was easy to be discovered after a long time.In that short meeting, the two of them really did not consider the poisoning method that burning incense might produce.

"I'll find another chance to enter the palace and remind him to check the burnt incense ash. If there is any problem, Xiang Yang will recognize it."

The fifth day nodded, and he and Xanthium continued to analyze along this line: "At the time we are now, the emperor has not yet selected a successor other than the crown prince. Maybe someone leaked Feng Sheng, but Who would be so impatient to have another chance to play tricks in the palace?"

The emperor's two brothers had left the palace long ago, and stayed in their respective fiefs, staying well. They may not come back every year and festival, and they have been very peaceful recently.

As for the two cousins ​​mentioned by Mr. Prince who are of the same generation as the prince, they are all in the city at the moment. One of them lives very close to the imperial hospital for the convenience of recuperation because of a muscle injury. Familiar.

Not to mention the concubines in the harem, it is most convenient for them to enter and exit the emperor's bedroom, and there are many people who are good at making incense and proficient in medicine.

The suspicion came to the empresses in the harem, and Xan'er told Wutian his first impression of the empresses he met today.

"The queen's mental state is not good, and she has been worrying about the emperor and the prince. She is also very contradictory now. She hopes that her child can share the worries with her husband, and she also hopes that the child can do what she likes without being restricted by the royal status. I don't know what to do. Concubine Rong misses her mother's family very much, but it is also possible that the concubine is of the same clan as her, so the content of the chat is biased in that direction. She doesn't pay much attention to the situation in the court, saying that she has no children anyway No daughter, the emperor's novelty towards her is over, as long as she can be quiet in the palace."

"Concubine Ning is the most concerned about the situation in the court. She said that although the princess is still young, she should choose a son-in-law in a few years. As a mother, she has to plan for her children earlier, and asked me if I heard from you If any minister's family has a young talent of the same age, it would be better to settle the marriage sooner."

Xanthium finished speaking and glanced at Wu Tian, ​​seeing that he didn't comment, he first expressed his thoughts: "Don't you think it's a bit strange? Zheng Shuyi is only nine years old this year, and ordinary people are still reluctant, but she is in such a hurry Do you want to put the child in the palace, as if you want to get her out of the land of right and wrong as soon as possible?"

Suddenly there was another knock on the door, which was interrupted twice in a row. Xanthium was a little irritable, with an ugly expression on his face.On the fifth day, after comforting him a little, he rushed out the door and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, the little princess is here."

"Bring her here."

There was a slight pause in the servant girl's voice, and then she said, "I've already brought it here."

"Brother Huang, open the door!" Shouting outside the door was no longer enough to express Zheng Shuyi's urgent mood, she began to knock on the door with her palm, making a "pop" sound, which disturbed Cocklebur even more.

"coming."

On the fifth day, the door was unlocked. Zheng Shuyi didn't wait for the fifth day to open the door. She pushed the door open from the outside first, rushed into the room with a "swish", and climbed onto the chair opposite the cocklebur, which the fifth day was sitting on just now. , Said to cocklebur in a dignified way: "I can answer your question just now."

All this happened so fast, before Xanthium could react, he just asked reflexively: "What?"

"Because my mother and concubine are afraid that I will be sent to a distant country to be married like a big sister. Not to mention that my husband is an old man, it is a nonsense to marry his son after he dies!"

On the fifth day, he touched Zheng Shuyi's head and reminded her softly: "You are only nine years old, so be careful with your words and deeds."

"I know, I know." Zheng Shuyi grabbed the pastry on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, very perfunctory to the reminder of Brother Huang.

Xanthium realized later that what Zheng Shuyi was talking about was his question just now, and now he had a new worry, and after the fifth day, he asked in a low voice: "Am I speaking loudly? Can you hear me clearly outside the door? "

"It's okay." On the fifth day, he was not very sure about the volume of Xanthium just now, "It's better to keep your voice down in the future."

Zheng Shuyi took the fifth day's seat, and on the fifth day she sat a little further away from the cocklebur, next to the little princess.Seeing her devouring food, he poured her a glass of water and asked, "Why did you come to the Prince's Mansion?"

"I told my concubine that I missed my brother and sister-in-law, so she let me come."

This seems to add evidence to Xanthium's speculation: "She really doesn't want you to stay in the palace!"

Zheng Shuyi didn't refute, she ate half full, hugged her legs and said to Cocklebur, "What you said is also reasonable. I was young at the time, and I was busy with fun, so I didn't feel anything wrong. Thinking about it now, She seems to have asked me several times on her own initiative, saying that the Crown Princess gave birth to a little nephew for me, do you want to play with her?"

Zheng Shuyi's voice became weaker and weaker. This answer was not what she wanted, or rather, it was difficult for her to accept: "Is my mother and concubine the one who killed my father?"

On the fifth day, he comforted her in time: "It may not be Concubine Ning. But she probably knew something, so she was worried about your safety and wanted to send you out."

Zheng Shuyi was encouraged, and she also wanted to prove her mother's innocence: "Then I will go back to the palace tomorrow, test her, and see what she knows."

"By the way, Wu told me that at least six people will be sent to help me. Why did I see three? You two, plus my father." This is the most important question that Zheng Shuyi wanted to ask when he came here today. question.She wanted to know where all the people who had agreed to help her investigate the case were.

On the fifth day, he asked Xanthium: "Among the three concubines you saw in the harem today, is there anyone you knew before?"

Xanth recalled the expressions of the three and their attitudes when they communicated with him, and shook his head regretfully.

"We are also looking for them, don't worry." Fifth Tian softly advised Zheng Shuyi.

His words failed to persuade Zheng Shuyi: "Can I not be in a hurry? In ten days, my father will die, and the Prince's Mansion will catch fire."

"What if we fail to solve the case before then?" It was Xanthium who asked on the fifth day, but Xanthium, like him, did not understand the new system and showed a dazed look.

Day [-]: The second day the boss is away, miss him.
