58, daily change
After the rewards from Chu Li came out, Concubine You originally thought that the emperor would reward the ninth prince with some official positions or other rewards for saving Princess Shouzhu this time. After all, the ninth prince's leg had healed.
She didn't expect that there would only be rewards, or even just ordinary rewards. She originally wanted to go directly to the emperor and ask for a position on behalf of the Ninth Prince.
This idea was stopped by Mammy. The Emperor's attitude towards the Ninth Prince has been obvious to everyone over the years. If he said this rashly, it would only be counterproductive.
Concubine You could only suppress this thought for now. When the emperor goes to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage to his ancestors two days later on the Double Ninth Festival, she can also take the opportunity to meet her father and ask what she can do to better repay the ninth prince.
Xie Mingze also received news that the day after tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival on September 9. At this time every year, Emperor Chu Yin would lead hundreds of officials to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors.
This year is no exception.
In previous years, Chu Li was not in the capital, so he had no part in the ancestor worship, but this time he had to go. As the ninth prince's concubine, Xie Mingze also had to go with him.
Xie Mingze didn't care about ancestor worship. Ever since he knew that Xie Yujiao wanted to cooperate with Huan Shi for one hundred thousand taels, Xie Mingze had to watch the day's plot on time every day when he woke up, fearing that he would miss something and let Xie Yujiao and the fourth prince take advantage of the loophole.
As expected, Xie Yujiao packed up early in the morning and went to the inn to look for Huan Shi.
Huan Shi didn't know anyone else in Beijing except the Jin family. The Jin family had also ignored his posts since the last banquet. Huan Shi guessed that his feelings for Xie Mingze were exposed at that time, and the Jin family was also involved.
do not like.
Huan Shi regretted being so obvious to Xie Mingze at that time.
Since the Jin family's side was unavailable, the only way left was Xie Xiang's daughter. Huan Shi didn't expect that just when he was thinking about how to find Xie Yujiao, the latter came.
Huan Shi met Xie Yujiao, who came straight to the point when he saw Huan Shi: "Fourth Prince, how about we do a business deal?"
Huan Shi's face changed slightly when he heard about the Fourth Prince. He told the public that he was the son of a wealthy businessman and never mentioned that he was the Fourth Prince of Yue. How did this person know? Huan Shi's originally gentle face turned cold: "
I don't understand what you are talking about."
Xie Yujiao told Huan Shi's identity, and also included some details. Xie Yujiao even knew some of the things Huan Shi had done secretly. This made Huan Shi wary. He almost killed Xie Yujiao, and his eyes became dangerous: "What are you doing?
Do you know this?"
Xie Yujiao was calm. Since she had decided to seek skin from a tiger, she had already guessed that there would be such a crisis, but she was not afraid.
What she knew was exactly what Huan Shi dreamed of, and could help him achieve great things.
Xie Yujiao's idea is very simple. If the fourth prince succeeds, then she can use her identity to make contributions to the dragon; if she fails, she will push the fourth prince out. At worst, she will use what she knows to escape. She will not let him
He married a businessman whose wife died and worked as a house filler.
"If I say that I have the ability to predict things, will the Fourth Prince believe it?"
"What?" Huan Shi was stunned by Xie Yujiao's words and looked at her in confusion, "Prediction, what does it mean?"
"That's what you think it means, Fourth Prince. I can predict many things. The Fourth Prince must have inquired about my Xie Mansion recently. He knows that my father is seriously ill, and several imperial doctors have been unable to do anything. But what I want to say
Yes, the old man I brought back some time ago is a miracle doctor. I went here this time just to invite this miracle doctor back. Because I knew in advance that my father would be sick and might be bedridden and never get up again. Last night
The miracle doctor has taken action. I believe it won’t be long before my father can get up and be no different from an ordinary person.” Xie Yujiao lied. Princess Shouzhu’s illness has been cured. Naturally, she could not say that she went to see Princess Shouzhu because of her illness.
's imperial doctor.
But she could be doing it for her father.
When she left more than a month ago, her father was not sick yet, so now she could just take advantage of it.
The fourth prince Huan Shi naturally stayed in the capital during this period and sent many people to check for news everywhere. He also knew that Prime Minister Xie was seriously ill. This matter was also related to the Duke of Dingguo, but he did not expect that Xie Yujiao had gone to invite him before.
He turned out to be a miracle doctor.
It's just that what Xie Yujiao said about precognition is really unheard of, but similarly, if this thing is true, the woman in front of him is definitely very important to him. Maybe he can rely on this ability to perform meritorious service and return to the country of Yue, and when the time comes, he will become the crown prince.
The position is definitely his prize: "Miss Xie, even though you say so, how can I make this king believe you?"
Huan Shi had long been crowned king, and by calling himself this, he recognized his identity.
Xie Yujiao didn't understand: "Since I'm here, I'm naturally prepared. Not to mention, at 3:30 tonight, Zheng Meiren will give birth to the fourth princess for the emperor. Then the fourth prince will know whether I have this
It’s up to you.”
Huan Shi suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes bright: "Are you serious about this?"
Xie Yujiao just smiled: "If the matter is confirmed, I will come over at this time tomorrow, and then we will talk about cooperation."
After Xie Yujiao finished speaking, she did not stay any longer. Since she wanted to be an expert, she naturally had to pretend to be mysterious. She retreated in order to advance because she wanted to convince the fourth prince of her after tonight's confirmation, and then she would discuss the benefits.
It's in her favor.
Zheng Meiren was in the palace, and although it had only happened in the past few days, it was unpredictable whether the child would be a prince or a princess. What's more, the time was so precise, it was absolutely impossible to know in advance.
Huan Shi felt restless for the next whole day, but also faintly excited.
He sent many people to inquire, making sure to know the answer as soon as possible. The State of Yue had many spies in Da Chu, and Huan Shi could also contact them, so he would naturally know what was going on in the palace.
But even so, when the news reached Huan Shi's ears, Xu Shi had already passed.
This does not prevent the news that Zheng Meiren gave birth to a fourth princess at Xu Shisan.
Huan Shi was completely convinced. He didn't sleep all night. When he saw Xie Yujiao on the eighth day of the lunar month, he was in great spirits and his eyes were blazing: "Second girl, you really impress me."
Xie Yujiao smiled: "So, can we talk about cooperation now?"
Huan Shi was puzzled: "Since Miss Xie has such abilities, why would she seek cooperation with me?"
Xie Yujiao did not hide it from Huan Shi: "It's just that I was born at the wrong time. By the time I had this ability, it was already too late. I believe that my eldest brother was not born of the same mother. He has been hostile to me since he was a child. He deliberately framed me before.
I was despised by the prince. Originally, I liked the prince, but it's a pity that Luo Hua is ruthless. Since he is ruthless, don't blame me for being unintentional."
Huan Shi smiled: "So you want him not to become the prince?"
Xie Yujiao's goal is naturally not this. It doesn't matter who becomes the prince. She just wants to live a good life for herself. She doesn't mind even cooperating with the prince of the enemy country: "Let's not talk about the prince. Since the fourth prince also has this idea, let's do it first.
Let’s talk about cooperation.”
Huan Shi thought of Xie Yujiao's ability. As long as she had the ability to predict things in advance, coupled with the careful work of his spies in Da Chu, the Yue Kingdom would definitely disturb the peace of Da Chu.
"Thank you, Miss Second, even if you ask for anything, as long as I can satisfy Second Miss, I will have nothing to say."
"Then I'm not welcome." Xie Yujiao was waiting for his words: "My request is very simple. I need a sum of money, one hundred thousand taels. This is one of them. Of course, to show sincerity, it will last for three months.
I will provide three predictions in these three months, and how the fourth prince wants to complete it has nothing to do with me."
Huan Shi frowned. He didn't expect Xie Yujiao to have such a big appetite. She only had one hundred thousand taels in one go.
But one hundred thousand taels is indeed not impossible for him to come up with.
Huan Shi thought for a moment and said: "Three predictions are too few. I will count them as the number I have completed. If you achieve the three you want, there is no time limit. As long as you can complete one within three months, I can give you one hundred thousand taels."
Xie Yujiao lowered her eyes, covering the depression in her eyes, but thinking about it, the fourth prince is not stupid, so he can't really fail to finish every one, right? She thought about it and said: "Yes."
Huan Shi didn't think she had only one request: "What is the second request?"
Xie Yujiao: "If I need it in the future, I want the position of the fourth prince's concubine."
Huan Shi took a deep look at her, and after thinking about it, he felt that it didn't matter. As long as she was not the main concubine, it was fine for her as a side concubine.
If she didn't have this ability, he wouldn't even look down on her as his concubine, let alone his side concubine, but with such predictability... "Okay."
Xie Yujiao felt much better: "There is no proof for what we say, we have to establish a written proof."
Huan Shi naturally had no objection.
Xie Mingze waited until he saw what Xie Yujiao had done in the past two days and shook his head. He felt that Xie Yujiao was really seeking death. Huan Shi was not a good person at first glance. If he cooperated with such a person, he would not be able to escape in the future unless he died.
Whole corpse.
But when Xie Mingze saw Xie Yujiao's "kind suggestion" to cooperate with Huan Shi as a thank you gift, Xie Mingze's face darkened, and he felt that Xie Yujiao deserved it.
Xie Yujiao actually asked Huan Shi to seduce Princess Shouzhu.
Princess Shouzhu has completely recovered from Xie Mingze's treatment, and she has been able to take care of her for a long time. Therefore, this time Princess Shouzhu will also accompany Emperor Chu Yin to worship her ancestors along with Concubine You.
Xie Yujiao asked Huan Shi to find out the route of Princess Shouzhu, and then take the opportunity to contact and hook up with Princess Shouzhu.
For a wonderful woman who has never been in contact with a man before she recovered, it is easiest for her to fall in love with a handsome man like Huan Shi. As long as Princess Shouzhu is devoted to him and has no regrets, even if she finally knows Huan Shi's identity, especially
The imperial concubine had no choice but to watch Princess Shouzhu get married.
There is only such a princess as Concubine You. As long as Princess Shouzhu marries the fourth prince, Duke Dingguo's palace will also help Huanshi.
Huan Shi was not stupid after all and felt that Concubine You would not let Princess Shouzhu marry him.
As a result, Xie Yujiao actually gave Huan Shi an idea to cook the raw rice into cooked rice.
Xie Mingze felt mixed after reading it.
It seems that it's time for him, the righteous one, to take action again.
As soon as Xie Mingze had this idea in his mind, the system's mechanical sound started to sound.
[Congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden mission [Princess’s Protection x1] - to prevent the villain prince from contacting the princess; upon completion, he will gain 70 health points; and he will receive [random prop drop x1].]
Xie Mingze raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect such a good thing. Even if he didn't have this mission, he would still save the princess. After all, Huan Shi was a scumbag at first glance. Princess Shouzhu was finally saved by him, how could she end up in this situation?
In the hands of such people?
Princess Shouzhu generally does not leave the palace, but there are exceptions. Tomorrow is the ancestor worship, and Princess Shouzhu should go back this time, so tomorrow is a good opportunity to strike up a conversation.
It seems that Huan Shi will try to find a way to contact Princess Shouzhu tomorrow, and he may also resort to other tricks, but...the soldiers will come to cover up the water.
But before the next day arrived, an uninvited guest came to the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
He is still an acquaintance to Xie Mingze, because Chu Li is not in the house today, and because tomorrow is the day of ancestor worship, Chu Li has not participated in ancestor worship in the past few years, so some matters need to be entrusted and discussed with him, so Chu Li takes Li
Fourth, I went to the Ministry of Etiquette.
Li Shiliu of the mansion stayed to listen to Xie Mingze's instructions.
When Li Liuli came to Xie Mingze and said that someone wanted to see the prince, the first thing Xie Mingze thought of was to send the person away first, but the other party brought something to Chu Li and handed it to Chu Li. Xie Mingze was stunned when he took what Li Liuliu handed over.
Below, it looks familiar. It's a prescription in a brocade box.
The prescription is not in his handwriting, but the prescription is indeed written by him.
Xie Mingze immediately guessed who the visitor was. It was the old servant of Chu Lufeng, the adopted son of King Lingyang. Xie Mingze had tricked Sun with the two medicinal herbs he bought from this old servant for three thousand taels.
A handful.
The reason why I never thought it would be Chu Lufeng is because Chu Lufeng has gray-blue pupils. If he comes, he will definitely cause a sensation. Besides, I am afraid that Chu Lufeng is trying to avoid Emperor Chu Yin's pursuit.
When you go out to meet people, you can only be an old servant.
Xie Mingze changed his mind and asked Li Liu to take the old servant to the lobby where guests were received.
After making some preparations, he went to the lobby, and when he got there, he saw the old man.
The old man was stunned when he saw Xie Mingze. Apparently he didn't expect that the medicine boy from the medicine shop before was actually the Ninth Prince's Concubine?
"you……"
"I haven't seen you for a long time, old man." Xie Mingze smiled, "I haven't formally introduced myself before. I am the owner of the previous drug store and the ninth prince's concubine. Thank you, Xie Mingze."
The old man pursed his lips and said, "I have seen Mr. Xie..."
"Old man, please sit down and talk. Your Majesty has gone to the Ministry of Rites and will come back later." Xie Mingze saw the anxious look on his face when the old servant came in. Something must have happened, so he had just asked Li Shiliu to go to the Ministry of Rites.
As for him, even if he guessed that the matter might be related to Chu Lufeng, he asked, fearing that the old man in front of him would not mention Chu Lufeng's matter.
Sure enough, while waiting for Chu Li to come back, the old man remained tight-lipped and said nothing, although he was anxious.
It wasn't until Chu Li came back and strode closer to the lobby that his sharp eyes first fell on Xie Mingze. When he saw Xie Mingze, who was safe and sound and drinking tea sips, his expression softened a lot, and then he looked at the old man and frowned.
When the old man saw Chu Li getting up, his expression became even more anxious: "Your Majesty..."
Chu Li raised his hand, and Li Si and Li Shiliu retreated together. For a moment, only Xie Mingze, the old man and Chu Li were left in the lobby.
Xie Mingze was originally thinking about whether he should leave, but he already knew about it, and he was indeed curious. He had performed surgery on Chu Lufeng before, and his body should be fine. So this time the old man
Why did he come so rashly? If he asked Chu Li afterwards, he would definitely tell him, so he might as well just sit here and listen.
The old man hesitated when he saw Xie Mingze opening his mouth to speak. Chu Li sat down next to Xie Mingze and said, "It doesn't matter, Madam knows about his existence. In other words, Madam had a share of the credit for saving him before."
When the old man heard this, he looked over in surprise. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master...is missing."
Chu Li frowned and raised his head: "What do you mean?"
The old man was also very anxious: "Last night, the old slave made medicine for the young master and changed the medicine for him. His body has recovered more than half, and the old slave was quite happy. But in the morning, the young master ordered the old slave to go out to do things.
, when I came back not long ago... the young master is no longer in the yard. The old slave searched everywhere and found nothing, and there was also... the young master's sword. The sword was given to the young master by the master, and he always kept it close to him.
Wear it, so..."
Chu Li frowned even more tightly and said nothing.
This is obvious, and you can probably guess where Chu Lufeng went. Tomorrow is the day of ancestor worship, and Emperor Chu Yin will leave the palace, which is a good time to assassinate him.
Xie Mingze also did not expect that King Lingyang, the adopted son, would be so obsessed with avenging him. Even though he was ill, he had to avenge King Lingyang again and again.
But in his current state, he probably fell into the hands of Emperor Chu Yin.
Emperor Chu Yin didn't kill him for some reason last time, but this time... in front of the civil and military officials of the court, he might not be able to escape.
The old man trembled and knelt down: "The old slave has no choice. The young master always has an idea. He is afraid that... he wants to avenge the master. Now the old slave can only ask the prince to find the young master first and stop him. Otherwise, otherwise...
..." Needless to say, Chu Li must have thought of the rest.
Chu Li's pair of dark eyes looked at the old man quietly: "You go back first, I will find a way to do this."
The old man opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he said nothing and kowtowed to Chu Li three times before leaving.
As soon as they left, Xie Mingze looked straight over. The person he had just rescued wouldn't just go to die like that, right? Wouldn't it be in vain that he saved him?
Should he say that Chu Lufeng was too righteous or should he say that he was too naive and just go and die?
Perhaps seeing Xie Mingze's doubts, Chu Li explained in a much softer voice: "His gray-blue pupils are too eye-catching. Even if he recovers, he cannot recruit troops or wait for opportunities. Emperor Chu Yin has spread a dragnet all around, as long as he
When he appears, all the whereabouts are under the control of the opponent. Therefore, he plans to fight to the death, and I am afraid he is determined to die."
Xie Mingze did not expect that someone would assassinate someone even though he knew he would die. "But the color of his eyes cannot be changed? Why bother?" At least wait until you are full-fledged or have some hope before assassinating him. Is it stupid to give away someone's life for nothing?
It was only when the words came out of his mouth that Xie Mingze remembered that this was not the modern era. There were colored contact lenses everywhere, and they were available in any color they wanted.
Sure enough, the cheap husband had already looked over.
Xie Mingze coughed and explained: "I just heard the miracle doctor say that the color of people's eyes... can actually be changed. It doesn't mean that they are born gray-blue and will always be gray-blue. If you want to change it, it is actually very difficult.
It's easy." Of course, for him before, but for him now, it's cool.
After all, there was nothing he could do to help. Although he could redeem things, there was no such thing as colored contact lenses in the level 1 interface.
Besides, does this fall under the category of medicine?
However, the disguise does not fall into this category. There is also a level 3 interface. Can he expect that there may be a level 2 interface? But he only has more than 700 health points now, and he still has more than 200 health points before opening the level 2 interface.
But what if?
The exchanges on the level 3 interface are all disguises and masks, which are at the Yi Nv Yin level. Color contact lenses are so simple, so there should be a level 2 interface, right?
Xie Mingze suddenly remembered that the mission he just took over included [random prop drop x1]. The random props dropped before were all useful. Maybe this time... they will also drop useful ones?
Xie Mingze began to gear up and look forward to it. After all, if his eyes turned red or something else, this would be more shocking than anything in ancient times.
The point is, it’s priceless!
Xie Mingze regrets that he didn't do the task well before. How much snowflakes will he get from selling this?
Chu Li was lying when he said he wasn't surprised. Although he knew that his wife had very powerful medical skills, could she change the color of people's eyes? This was too unbelievable. But before he could think about it, he saw his wife suddenly
I was in a daze and I didn't know what to think, so I laughed first.
Chu Li:......
Although everything was fine, his wife always fell into her own world from time to time, which gave him the illusion that the other party was about to leave him. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Xie Mingze's eyes.
Xie Mingze was startled and his eyes widened: "Huh? Huh? What's wrong?"
"Madam, what are you thinking about?" Chu Li felt better when he saw his eyes focused on him, with only his shadow reflected in his pupils.
Xie Mingze murmured, "Husband, you think saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I think, since we are destined to Chu Lufeng and have saved him once, we can't just watch him die. So.
Look, if you find someone to persuade you, saying that the priest father has something that can change the color of his eyes, he can just sit still and wait for the opportunity, right?" Thinking of something, Xie Mingze came closer, and there was already a tense relationship between the two.
With only a table separated him, he was so close to Chu Li that he was almost breathing close to him.
Chu Li was a little distracted for a moment. His eyes couldn't help but fall on his lips, and the previous touch flashed through his mind.
Xie Mingze was still teaching earnestly: "Husband, look at such a good opportunity, are we giving him a chance to survive and take revenge? Can we get some benefits?" For example, money, you have to give him a reward.
After all, if Yi Tong's items are exchanged for a level 2 interface, it will definitely require a lot of health points. These are all consumables. Is it okay for him to get more money?
Chu Li nodded seriously and carried out what the madam said was right: "Madam is absolutely right, we really need to find some benefits." Those secret guards of King Lingyang already had some clues, so it would be better to let Chu Lufeng die.
Let him help him train and lead the team.
Chapter completed!
