At Sanpinxuan in the north of Yujie Street, Qingshan reported to Shi Jingyang: "Sir, Qingping took people to the Daxiangguo Temple, and the Daxiangguo Temple has been controlled.
Qingsong led people to search out 10,000 firecrackers and a thousand kilograms of fireworks from Daxiangguo Temple. Our people have already arrested the person who purchased Guanjing from Daxiangguo Temple."
Shi Jingyang's hands couldn't help but tighten again and again. Ten thousand firecrackers and one thousand kilograms of fireworks were hung. Do they want to raze the Daxiangguo Temple to the ground?
Tonight, the Daxiangguo Temple is crowded with people! How dare he live with these living creatures?
Also, in that person's eyes, these beings are like ants.
A surge of anger surged in Shi Jingyang's chest. Shi Jingyang took a few deep breaths before suppressing his anger.
"Sir, why did they set off so many firecrackers at Daxiangguo Temple? Do they want to cause trouble to me?" Qingshan asked in confusion.
Shi Jingyang said calmly: "The other party's purpose is not just to cause trouble for me. Their purpose is His Highness!"
His Royal Highness, Qingshan perked up and looked at Shi Jingyang in surprise.
Shi Jingyang continued: "Since the 10th year of Yongping, on the Lantern Festival, His Highness will wear regular clothes and go to the lantern festival, and Daxiangguo Temple is a must-go for His Highness.
The other party’s wild ambition is to attack His Highness at the Grand Prime Minister’s Temple.”
Qingshan trembled with fright and said vigilantly: "So, the other party wants to attack His Highness tonight. If so, it must be more than just Daxiangguo Temple!"
Shi Jingyang nodded, "Yes, Cunning Rabbit has three caves. The other party must have some tricks up his sleeve. He is preventing His Highness from going to the Daxiangguo Temple this year."
Qingshan said: "Young man, let me go to the interrogation overnight! You must pry open Guan Jing's mouth and let him tell everything he knows."
Having said that, Qingshan bowed in agreement, lowered his hands and retreated.
Shi Jingyang did not stop Qingshan and let him make arrangements.
Not long after Qingshan retreated, Qingyun came in and reported: "Sir, our people found three hundred kilograms of black powder in a house on Huhe Road.
This place is only ten feet away from the lamp shed of the East Palace.
The owner of the house was Yu Haitao of the Ministry of Personnel, where Yu Haitao was the director.
I asked Yu Haitao about it, and he said that his house was sold a year ago.
The buyer is an imperial edict from the Imperial Academy, his surname is Deng, and his name is Deng Siqi.
The younger one went to check on Deng Siqi, but the Deng family said that Deng Siqi had contracted an illness last spring, and it took them about a month before he left.
When the younger one asked about the house on Wehe Road, the Deng family members all said they had no knowledge."
In this way, the other party started planning what happened today a year ago.
Shi Jingyang frowned, thought for a moment and then said: "Let someone check out the people who had contact with Deng Siqi during his lifetime, peel off the cocoons, and find out the suspicious person."
Qingyun agreed, turned around and exited the room.
Jiang Min came in and said, "Sir, Commander Pei is here."
Shi Jingyang looked up at the door and saw Pei Dongliu following Jiang Min. He immediately said to Jiang Min, "Go down first and guard the door. Don't let anyone come in and disturb you."
Jiang Min bowed in agreement, closed the door behind him when he left the house, and stood guard at the door so that no one would disturb him.
When Shi Jingyang saw Jiang Min going out, he asked, "Aren't you with His Highness? Why are you here? Is there something going on?"
"What's going on here?" Pei Dongliu asked at the same time.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Pei Dongliu said, "You speak first."
Shi Jingyang briefly explained the situation here.
Pei Dongliu sneered: "What a good plan to kill two birds with one stone."
Shi Jingyang took over and said, "What's a good plan that kills two birds with one stone? No matter whether His Highness is in danger at Daxiangguo Temple or in the lamp shed, I can't escape the blame! Weiyuan Hou Mansion will suffer a disaster."
Pei Dongliu was still frightened, and said with some fear: "This plan is really poisonous!" After saying that, Pei Dongliu continued: "Fortunately, you are alert enough, and in just two days, you can arrange everything and defeat the opponent's poisonous plan.
Killed in infancy."
Shi Jingyang asked: "How's it going over there, Your Highness?"
Pei Dongliu said: "Your Highness is fine. The Emperor vomited blood before dinner. Your Highness will stay in the Qinzheng Hall to take care of the Emperor and will not leave the palace tonight."
Shi Jingyang stood up in shock and looked at Pei Dongliu in astonishment, "I have never heard that the emperor's dragon body is ill before. It's fine. How could the emperor vomit blood? Is it the handiwork of the noble concubine?"
Pei Dongliu did not shake his head or nod.
Said: "Not long after Qiu Xi came back, the imperial concubine secretly presented an elixir to the emperor. That night, the emperor rested in Chengqian Palace. Since then, the emperor has mostly rested in Chengqian Palace."
"Elixir? What kind of elixir?" Shi Jingyang asked in disbelief.
Pei Dongliu nodded, "Yes, the elixir was refined by Master Tian Dao of Taiqing Palace."
Pills are harmful to the body. The previous emperor was obsessed with refining pills and cultivating immortality, trying to find a way to live forever. He ignored the government and made the people miserable.
After the founding emperor established his kingdom, he explicitly banned alchemy.
Shi Jingyang twitched the corners of his lips, smiled coldly, and said, "The noble concubine is so courageous!"
Pei Dongliu sneered and said: "It is said that wealth is obtained through danger, not to mention that what she is seeking is not just wealth."
Shi Jingyang burst into laughter, "You're right, what she wants is more than wealth! If we hadn't been vigilant, her plan would have succeeded tonight."
Pei Dongliu said: "In the past, I always couldn't understand King Chen's despicable methods.
After this incident, what King Chen did taught me a good lesson.
From now on, I will never be kind to a woman.
When you should be ruthless, you must have an iron-blooded wrist. Only in this way can you be truly kind."
Shi Jingyang nodded in agreement, "Yes, His Highness is generous and kind, and we are His Highness's iron walls and armor.
Only if our fists are strong can we protect His Highness, and His Highness can protect the people of the world."
"Master, Guan Jing said he wants to see you!" Qingshan's voice sounded at the door.
Pei Dongliu stood up and said, "Go and do your work. I'm going back."
Shi Jingyang nodded, "Okay, I'll see you off." Shi Jingyang stood up and saw Pei Dongliu out.
After walking a few steps, Shi Jingyang suddenly thought of something and asked, "How many people know about the emperor vomiting blood?"
Pei Dongliu said: "When the Emperor vomited blood, His Highness was the only one around. The Emperor asked His Highness to keep quiet. Not many people should know."
Shi Jingyang knew what was going on and said, "I'll let people keep an eye on Prince Chen's Mansion and Prince Yan's Mansion.
At Youshi, King Chen and Princess Chen appeared at the lamp shed of Prince Chen's Mansion. King Chen probably did not enter the palace.
Also, judging from their layout, the person they are going to deal with tonight is His Highness, not the Emperor."
Pei Dongliu smiled and said, "With Qing'an, their plan is destined to fail.
However, after tonight, I am afraid that the imperial concubines will have a grudge against you! I am looking forward to seeing the faces of King Chen and King Yan!"
Shi Jingyang smiled faintly, "What can I say? I can only say that it's difficult for them, and I'm sorry!"
