Consort Zhanzhao

"Nonsense!" Zhan Zhao yelled, and the letter crumbled in his hands. For some reason, Zhao Bijia's heart skipped a beat. Although I don't remember exactly, I always feel that Bai Yutang went somewhere on impulse in the end. Probe died.

"Please trouble Manager Yang to escort the princess back to the palace," Zhan Zhao ordered, turning to face Zhao Bijia a little more tenderly, "I'll take you to dinner in two days."

After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he wanted to leave, but he took two steps outside, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked, "When did he disappear?"

That person was originally assigned to Bai Yutang's subordinate, so after thinking about it, he said, "Fifth Bai ate lunch and said he wasn't on duty today, so he wanted to take a nap and take a rest, and told me not to disturb him...but he needs to wake up again. Water once, if I think about it now, I’m afraid I’ll go out after the time has passed.”

It's dinner time now!

Zhan Zhao turned his footsteps and turned back, ordered his subordinates to mobilize the troops, went back to the room and changed into low-key clothes, frowned slightly and said to Zhao Bijia: "I'll go and have a look first. The Grand Master's Mansion is not very expensive. Big, it won’t take long to find the way, and it’s been more than an hour now, either he found something, or... was delayed by something."

Seeing Zhan Zhao's seriousness, Zhao Bijia couldn't help feeling a little flustered. Bai Yutang's martial arts skills and his experience in traveling the rivers and lakes over the years can be considered rich. Can you get out of your body?

Zhao Bijia suddenly felt heart palpitations, and pulled Zhan Zhao back without thinking.

"I'll go with you."

Zhan Zhao looked back at her, with a little love in his eyes, Zhao Bijia said before he could say anything, "I don't know martial arts, so naturally I can't go with you, but I can knock in through the front door."

She glanced back at Yang and An, "He wears the badge of an eunuch, and the two of us will act as court ladies and eunuchs, so we say it is—" She pursed her lips, "The palace sent to discuss the new son of Concubine Pang. Have a full moon banquet."

Although it was a solution that came up out of desperation, the more Zhao Bijia talked about it, the more he felt it was feasible.

"None of the servants of the Pang family have ever seen me. Taishi Pang was locked up in the Kaifeng mansion and did not go back. I am afraid that Pang Min is the only one who decides the family. He has no martial arts skills at all. Yang and An can restrain him." Zhao Bijia smiled , "I can help you delay a lot of time."

Zhan Zhao pursed his lips.

"Besides, if you talk about it in the future, it is always bad for you to break into the Grand Master's Mansion. If I go in first, I can still say that I am worried about the princess or something."

Zhan Zhao glanced at Yang and An.

Yang Hean said: "If you want to go to the Grand Master's Mansion, I can go alone. Although there are no capable people in the Grand Master's Mansion, there is no need for the princess to be involved in such a matter."

Zhan Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Director Yang is absolutely right."

Yang He'an added, "Besides, we are holding a full moon banquet for the little prince. This matter has nothing to do with Pang Min, and we will never see his face."

Zhao Bijia looked at this and then looked at that, not to mention Zhan Zhao, even Yang and An, who used to say nothing, kept their faces straight this time and did not regress in the slightest. Delaying time, he nodded and said, "Then I'll go back to the palace first. You—"

Yang He'an continued: "Everything is insignificant, and I will report it to the princess one by one."

Zhao Bijia just went out, and heard Zhan Zhao take out a huge map of Pang Taishi's residence from the bookshelf, and shared it with Yang and An.

Zhao Bijia chuckled in his heart, he might have thought about spying at night for a long time, and he might have been there more than once or twice.

Kaifeng Mansion is only a short distance away from the imperial palace, so Zhao Bijia stopped by to buy some dim sum to share with Zhao Xuan, but not long after she came out of the dim sum shop, two women came up from the left and right, and two more followed behind, The four surrounded her and said with a smile: "The girl is easy to find for slaves."

Zhao Bijia was so startled that her hairs stood on end, she subconsciously asked for help, but before she could yell out, one of the wives pressed the back of her neck, she felt dizzy and fainted immediately.

When she woke up again, she found that she seemed to be sitting on a chair, and someone was moving on her wrist again, and she didn't know what she was doing.

Although she couldn't open her eyes for the time being, she still struggled, "Who sent you here!"

There was a chuckle in the room, "I specifically told them to be gentle. I didn't expect it to be so light. The princess woke up in less than a quarter of an hour."

This person knows her identity, and this place is very close to the palace!

This voice is still a bit familiar!Zhao Bijia blinked several times, and finally opened it. Standing in front of her with a smile on his face, but looking extremely sinister, it was Pang Min who was thrown out of the palace by her that day!

Grand Master Pang's new son.

Zhao Bijia just glanced at it and then lowered her head. What on earth is he going to do?Throwing him out of the palace for revenge?

Impossible, no matter who it is, kidnapping her is only a death penalty... Besides, he showed his face, is he not afraid of death, or... just want to die?

"What do you want to do?" Zhao Bijia asked.

Pang Min chuckled twice, "The princess is very courageous, she doesn't panic at all."

Zhao Bijia also wanted to pretend to be panicked to confuse her opponent, but she was afraid that even though she was afraid, there was panic, but she hadn't panicked yet.

Besides, if it is discovered, it will be even more dangerous to mock the opponent, and it will be even more dangerous then.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhao Bijia guessed that this place probably belonged to the Grand Master's Mansion, Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao, Yang and An Ke were all here, Master Bao went to request an order to search the Grand Master's Mansion again, she...should be in no danger.

As long as he can delay for a while, maybe Zhan Zhao will be able to break through the door/window or fall from the sky in the next second.

Pang Min walked around her, and Zhao Bijia's hands and feet were already trapped on the chair by a woman just now, she couldn't move at all now, her hands were twisted, and the rough hemp rope made her wrists hurt.

"You can't break free." Pang Min smiled, with a crazy light in his eyes, "No matter how hard you try, you can't break free. It's best if you grind to a bloody mess! Only when the emperor sees it will he feel distressed! The whole family was wiped out!"

Zhao Bijia was startled, is he crazy?He wants the Pang family to be buried with him?

"You don't have to!" Zhao Bijia turned cold, "My concubine mother and the Pang family are at odds with each other, and she also gave birth to a son, even without you—"

Pang Min interrupted her, "No, no! You won't be able to see the blood and flesh after being burned to death! You can't see anything!"

Pang Min's face suddenly turned pale, as if he had suffered a huge blow.

Zhao Bijia froze, and didn't want to pay attention to what he meant by "burning to death", but following Pang Min's line of sight, he saw several large wooden barrels in the room, and there was still a faint drift in the air. Watching the smell of kerosene.

"You are crazy! How many people do you want to be buried with when you light a fire!"

Pang Min laughed loudly, "It's better to die more! I'm not alone on the road to Huangquan anymore!"

Unwilling to reconcile, Zhao Bijia struggled again.

Pang Min looked at her, squinted his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth, "It's okay if you can't see clearly, if you can't see clearly, they can imagine it on the full screen. How much His Majesty loves you is how much his heart hurts! Hahahaha!"

"What did the Pang family do to you?" Seeing the hopeless struggle, Zhao Bijia's wrists were red and swollen, so she could only test slowly to see if she could find some flaws.

Pang Min glanced at her, but did not answer her question, but said softly: "Don't worry, I am very kind-hearted, I will not let you burn to death little by little in the fire, I have prepared this for you .”

He raised his eyebrows slightly, Zhao Bijia followed his gesture and saw a row of bows and arrows on the wall, his face turned pale with fright.

Pang Min laughed loudly when he saw this, "When the fire burns, it can blow off the mechanism of this bow and arrow. At that time, all arrows will be fired in an instant, and you will die very quickly. It will not be uncomfortable at all."

"You lunatic!"

"I'm not crazy!" Pang Min walked up to Zhao Bijia in two steps, "It's the Pang family who are crazy! Pang Ji is a lunatic, they are all crazy!"

"Your surname is Pang too! Your surname is Pang even after you go to hell!" Zhao Bijia couldn't care less about provoking or not, and shouted at the top of her voice, hoping that no matter who might have wandered around Pang's house Bai Yutang in the afternoon, or Zhan Zhao or Yang and An who just came to Pang Mansion to find someone could hear it.

"Yes, my surname is also Pang." Pang Min suddenly sighed quietly, as if caught in thoughts of the past, Zhao Bijia tightly pursed his lips, staring at him without saying a word.

After a long while, Pang Min broke free from his memories, and he glanced at Zhao Bijia, "He killed my mother, and Xiaoyan, but brought me back. He should have thought about it one day."

Pang Min suddenly squatted down in front of Zhao Bijia, looked up at her, and said with nostalgia: "Xiaoyan was about the same age as you when she died."

Zhao Bijia was a little scared, and wanted to shrink her feet inward, but her ankles were tied tightly to the chair legs, and she couldn't move at all.

The only thing she could do was to tilt her head back as far as possible and hide as far away from him as possible.

"I want Pang Ji to die every day." Pang Min stood up, perhaps because he squatted for a long time, he was dizzy for a while, his feet swayed for two steps, and his face became paler and paler.

"It doesn't work if he dies alone, we have to pull out all the power of the Pang family, but... who told Concubine Pang to give birth to a son again? A centipede is dead but not stiff. Relying on this prince, they will be dormant for a while. It will recover in two years."

Pang Min pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Zhao Bijia, "That's why I came up with this good idea."

"Look, princess, if you die, the whole Pang family will be buried with you, and no one will be able to threaten your younger brother's throne. When you die in the future, your title will become the eldest princess, the eldest princess, and will live forever. , Incense keeps burning, how nice..." Pang Min lowered his voice, and murmured: "Unlike my mother, unlike Xiaoyan, after death, the broken mat was rolled up and thrown on the mass grave. cannot."

There is really nothing to say to this kind of person who has fallen into madness, but Zhao Bijia gradually felt that something was wrong. In the Grand Master Pang's residence... there should be a butler or a master. Didn't anyone find out about his plan?

"I don't think you can succeed." Zhao Bijia tried a word, "There are so many people under the Grand Master, how can you let you be so foolish and drag them all to be buried with you?"

"They don't know." Pang Min smiled, "I'm a good son of the Grand Master. I'm obsessed with power, I just want to curry favor with the Grand Master, I obey what the Grand Master says, and I never resist. In fact, I have to thank Mr. Bao, Pang Ji yesterday He took him to Kaifeng Mansion, and they haven’t come out until now, those people have already panicked, I sent them out to find someone for help.”

Pang Min pouted, and Zhao Bijia saw a big box in the room again.

"You don't know that Pang Ji has worked hard over the years. At least half of the ministers in the court have correspondence with him, and at least half of them have the handle in his hands, or they have asked him."

Zhao Bijia took a deep breath and said, "This kind of people really deserve to die!"

"So," Pang Min smiled, seeming to be very satisfied with Zhao Bijia's reaction, "I chose the candidate myself, and let Pang Ji's subordinates seek help from those whom he held in their hands. What do you think will happen?" Pang Min looked at Zhao Bijia smugly, his eyes full of complacency.

"They will only think that Pang Ji is threatening them, so that once Pang Ji goes to prison, those people will wish for him to die in prison, and no one will come to rescue him." Zhao Bijia said in a deep voice.

Pang Min nodded in satisfaction, "I made two preparations, and it was really a surprise to capture the princess." He laughed triumphantly, "This plan has gone even smoother."

Zhao Bijia looked at him and asked, "Since you were able to pass No. 20 in the imperial examination, you must be knowledgeable... Then Grand Master Pang cheated in the exam at least half because of you... You have already thought about it."

Pang Min became more and more complacent, stood up and walked quickly around the room twice, "Princess is really a sensible person...it's a pity."

"I have such a good plan, only you know about it, and you are dying..." Pang Min sighed, "But do you think you can't cheat in the palace exam?" He smiled.

"The test questions of the general examination, including the test questions of the palace test, all come from His Majesty."

"How is it possible?" Zhao Bijia was puzzled.Pang Min raised his head proudly, "Does your majesty have maids serving tea and water in the palace? And eunuchs who clean up? Just pay attention to what books your majesty reads and what you say, and then look at the waste paper As for what is in the basket, you can guess pretty well from this test question."

Zhao Bijia took a deep breath, and Pang Min said: "My knowledge is not good at all, and my thoughts are all spent on heresy ways. When I was young, my mother and Xiaoyan thought I went to school, and thought I was locked up alone. The main thing is to read and practice calligraphy, and I still feel that my handwriting is not strong because I haven’t found a good copybook, because my family is poor.”

Zhao Bijia saw a tear drop from Pang Min's eyes, and he wiped it away silently. Pang Min even stared at the water mark on his fingertips, as if wondering what it was.

"Okay, princess," Pang Min woke up, looking at her with complicated eyes, "I have said so many things today, and I can die without regret."

He raised his eyes to look at the sky outside, "It's getting dark soon, wait until it's dark...it will be bright when the fire is lit."

Pang Min said as he walked out, "It won't be long."

The moment Pang Min left the room, Zhao Bijia started struggling again with almost all her strength, but her wrists were all worn out, and the hemp rope was not even slightly loose, and the same was true for her feet.

She lowered her head to bite again, but the hemp rope in her hand was entangled in several bundles, so it was extremely strong, and she didn't know if she could bite through this thing... before the fire ignited.

Although I kept thinking in my heart that someone would come to save her, maybe it would be Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao, or Yang He'an who could break in at some point...but I don't know when, tears came down.

Yang and An have arrived at the gate of Taishi Mansion.

He winked at Zhan Zhao, and knocked on the huge door knocker in the mouth of the bronze lion at the gate of Taishi Mansion.

He heard the doorman inside say: "Here we come, please wait a moment." Zhan Zhao flew into the Grand Master's mansion.

The concierge was an old man in his fifties with a slightly hunched back. Seeing the suspicion flashing in Yang and An's eyes, he asked, "Who are you?"

Yang and An have never felt guilty, besides, everything about him is true.

He waved the waist card in his hand in front of the old man, "Our family has been ordered by the Queen Mother to discuss the matter of holding a full moon banquet for the second son of the emperor."

The concierge nodded and bowed to invite Yang Hean in, and then dragged the young servant to take someone to sit in the flower hall, while he himself went back to find Pang Min.

Yang and An watched carefully as they walked.

The boy took him only one yard in, and didn't even pass the second gate, but on this way, he could see many boys on the side of the road looking a little worried, and Yang and An frowned.

But apart from being worried, he was not on guard at all, so it seemed that Bai Yutang was fine and not caught.

The servant leading him asked, "How is our empress in the palace?"

The voice was a little cautious, Yang and An put on a look of grandpa, and said arrogantly: "Our family has never seen it before, but I heard from the mother in the empress dowager's palace that the child is very healthy, but a little big, and the empress gave birth. I hurt my body a little bit."

It's still a lie.

The servant breathed a sigh of relief, and after a moment of silence, he tried more cautiously, "Our master didn't come back all night, so he thought he was taken away by His Majesty, so..."

Yang He'an frowned, "Your Majesty didn't mention it when you greeted the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager is in charge of the affairs of the harem. Your Majesty is in charge of the front court. Even if you recruit a grand master, you won't take it to the harem. This is quite common. .”

The servant gave a hum, and led Yang and An to the small hall. Another servant girl came up to serve tea, and the servant respectfully said, "You sit down first."

Yang He'an said: "If the grand master is not here... do you still have a nanny in charge at your house? The queen mother wants to celebrate and celebrate. There has been no prince born in the palace for a long time. But the grand master must not be good at such things. A more spiritual nanny will come, and we will leave after explaining to our family."

The boy said: "Understood, just wait a moment."

After speaking, he ran out in a hurry and came to look for Pang Min too.

It should be said that Pang Min has managed to win over a few people during the past few days in the Pang family, especially after he sent out all the confidantes and loyalists of Grand Master Pang, the rest of the family either have no brains and only know how to work, or Those who are self-sufficient, the rest are his confidantes.

When the boy came over, the concierge had just found Pang Min and reported back: "There is a young eunuch who said that he came to discuss holding a full moon banquet for the new little prince of the empress on the orders of the queen mother."

Pang Min glanced at the young man, and the young man also explained the conversation with Yang He'an just now.

Pang Min laughed twice, pondered for a moment and said: "The people in the palace are well informed, maybe it is someone's little eunuch who knows that Pang Ji is not there, and knows that the military will be unstable at the Grand Master's Mansion, so he is here to fight the autumn wind."

"Ask Nanny Qin to see him, give him two 100 taels of silver notes, prepare another 1 taels of silver notes, and entrust him to the palace to bring to the empress."

"This..." Both the porter and the servant showed hesitation.

Pang Min laughed and said, "How can we scare him away without giving him more money?"

The boy confessed and ran out again.The concierge bent over and followed him out.

Pang Min looked at the sky outside, "It's time of the year, I guess the palace has already started looking for the princess... The big show is about to begin."

"The princess is tied up in exchange for the safety of the Grand Master," Pang Min shook his head while laughing, "I am really a filial son."

Yang and An only drank half a cup of tea when they saw an old woman with a big smile coming in.

"The servant's surname is Qin."

Yang He'an didn't get up either, and looked at her arrogantly, "Nurse Qin?"

Nanny Qin nodded with a smile, and said: "Your Majesty and... An Lehou all fed my milk. If the Queen Mother has any wishes, you can do it." Then she took two silver coins from her sleeve. The ticket comes out, "You take it to drink tea."

Yang and An sat upright, but their eyes swept over the bank note, and then they reached out to take it, pretending not to care, stuffing the things into their cuffs.

"What the Empress Dowager means is that this full moon banquet is going to be a big one, otherwise we wouldn't have called our family to Pang Mansion so much earlier."

Nanny Qin nodded while smiling, and kept saying yes, her attitude was very respectful.

After all, Yang He'an had seen Zhao Xuan's full moon banquet back then, so he said it again with a three-point reduction compared to him. The envelope comes out.

"I just asked my father-in-law to give this thing to my mother." Mother Qin smiled, "My mother just gave birth to a prince, so the expenses may be more than usual."

Yang He'an glanced at the envelope, and said, "Nurse Qin, the mother gave birth to His Majesty's prince. If you are like this...it will be bad if the Queen Mother finds out."

Nanny Qin smiled, "Elder-in-law is troubled." She pushed the new letter back.

Yang and An took it together and put it in their cuffs, got up and said, "It's getting late, it's time for our family to go back."

Mother Qin smiled and said, "Please, father-in-law."

When they went out, it was the boy just now who led Yang and An out.

It's just that Nanny Qin feels that it's not right to send people away. If you want to say... If you really came to ask for money... You know too much about it, even what kind of guests you need, what kind of people to prepare The ceremony has been said, in case it is really someone sent by the Queen Mother...

Mother Qin felt that it was not very good, so she trotted all the way to find Pang Min when she went out. After explaining a few words, Pang Min frowned.

In fact, whether this person really has nothing to do with him, but... "Go and see."

Pang Min hurried for a while, and finally caught up with Yang He'an at the gate of the Grand Master's Mansion.

It was getting dark now, and Yang and An had already walked under the eaves, Pang Min didn't recognize the eunuch who pulled him out of the harem by his collar.

"Elder-in-law, please stop." Pang Min called out, and returned to the pale young man who was a bit unhappy.

Yang and An turned their heads, and they looked at each other and were stunned at the same time.

This is not the queen mother's eunuch!

Oops!
