The twilight has deepened a bit again, and the palace of Prince Xi has been gradually lit up with lights, and it is a bright red.
King Xi was pouring ink in his study room, and with just a few strokes, a picture of eight horses appeared on the paper. Drawing can make people calm down and think, making the mind clear, so he always likes to draw pictures while going.
Think about some deep questions, just like now.
He has not fallen asleep since Guo Wanrou came to Prince Xi's Mansion last night. He naturally understands Guo Wanrou's thoughts, and can quickly eliminate his love rival. If his Zhao family was just a wealthy family, he would not bother to fight for favor between wives and concubines.
Go ahead and take care of it, turn a blind eye, and let her go. However, his Yuan'er is destined to not be just an ordinary prince. A woman who can sit in the seat next to Yuan'er must not only have a family
The room must have means, courage, and tolerance, so that Yuan'er can have no worries.
Obviously, Guo Wanrou does not have this awareness. She cannot tolerate even a small Leng Changxi. How will she manage a larger harem in the future? Apart from Leng Changxi, there will be a second one and a third one.
If the fourth Leng Changxi had to be removed one by one, wouldn't his Yuan'er have no one in the harem? This was something he would never allow to see.
Let’s talk about Guo Wanrou’s methods. Any woman with some brains would not go to the future father-in-law’s house to cause trouble at this time. Even if she really wanted to eradicate him, she would at least have to wait until later when the time is right instead of coming so recklessly to ask for someone. Isn’t this obvious?
Tell him that she is the instigator of this incident?
As we all know, Qin Hui’s traitorous minister was behind the Leng Changxi incident. If Guo Wanrou really had a hand in it, she must have done Qin Hui a huge favor. The two of them were able to work together. Although he
King Xi was very ambitious, but it was clear whether he was good or bad. Qin Hui could not be retained, and he would definitely become a cancer in the court in the long run. If Guo Wanrou really got involved with him, she would have to make other plans.
Thinking of this, King Xi felt even more chilled. His good impression of Guo Wanrou because of her family background suddenly disappeared without a trace. A cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, he took out a piece of rice paper and gave it to Zhao Yuan eloquently.
He wrote a letter, then put it in the envelope and sealed it with his own wax seal: "Here comes."
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?" Hearing King Xi's call, the people waiting outside pushed the door open and cautiously raised their eyebrows and lowered their heads.
"Go and ask Uncle Li to come over." King Xi's face was calm and intimidating.
"Yes." The man took the order and retreated.
In less than half a stick of incense, Li Bo followed the man and hurried to King Xi's study.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" Li Bo bowed his head respectfully.
King Xi walked up to him, handed the letter in his hand to Uncle Li and said, "You must deliver this letter to Yuan'er in person right now. Hurry!"
"Go now?" Uncle Li was a little surprised.
"Yes, let's go now." King Xi nodded affirmatively.
Uncle Li carefully hid the letter close to his body, turned around and left.
After a while, taking advantage of the deep night, a fast horse galloped out of the back door of Prince Xi's Mansion.
Seeing Uncle Li leaving with the letter, King Xi's face brightened slightly. He suddenly thought of Leng Changxi, who was still imprisoned by him in the west wing. Just when he was about to call someone to call her over, there was a soft knock on the door: "Your Majesty.
,Dinner has been prepared, please go ahead and have your meal."
"Yes!" King Xi nodded, remembering the last time he entertained Leng Changxi, as well as Li Bo's reward later - it was said that the guy had a messy meal, as if he was a refugee from a disaster area. He immediately gave up.
The urge to call her over before dinner.
King Xi moved to the dining hall, and a table of exquisite dishes had been placed on the table. There were no less than 20 or 18, and everything was carefully crafted. There was a plate of meat and carrots, and white radish was placed on the edge of the plate.
A white rabbit is carved out, looking at a plate of carrots vividly.
Seeing him take a seat, the maid serving at the side brought him a basin of water and asked him to wash his hands, then dried them for him and handed him a cup of tea to rinse his mouth with.
"Your Majesty, these are the dishes recently developed by the chef. Try them and see if you like them." The maid waiting at the side respectfully handed the chopsticks to him.
King Xi looked at the dishes on the table and found that there weren't many that interested him. So he raised his chopsticks and pointed at one of the dishes: "That one."
"Yes!" The food tester on the side took a bite first. After feeling that it was OK, he put the dish into the Xiwang bowl.
King Xi took a bite and thought it tasted good: "This dish is good, what is it called?"
"Report to the prince, it's called the Wild Goose Returning to the South, and it's made from wild goose meat."
King Xi nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to another dish: "That one, let me try it."
"yes."
After the tester took the dish into his mouth again, he put it into the Xiwang bowl.
After getting the dish of wild geese returning south to appetize him, King Xi suddenly became interested in eating. So, without waiting for the taster to say it was okay, he put the dish into his mouth and swallowed it.
At this moment, the food tester suddenly pinched his neck, bleeding from all his orifices, his eyes widened, and he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Your Majesty, it's poisonous!" After that, he fell to the ground and died.
When the incident happened suddenly, King Xi suddenly changed his color and became furious. He threw up the banquet table and shouted: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming!..."
Just after shouting twice, King Xi suddenly felt a cramping pain in his abdomen, a fishy-sweet taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood quickly spurted out. Then, his whole body twitched and fell to the ground, his eyes widening in reluctance.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Butler Zhao, who rushed into the dining room after hearing the sound, plopped down and knelt down in front of King Xi, shouting in horror: "Come here, call the doctor quickly, call the doctor quickly!"
Butler Zhao was also an old butler who had served in Prince Xi's palace for more than 30 years. He was regarded as a confidant of Prince Xi and was able to act alone. The princess in the palace died early and there was no one to take charge of the overall situation. After Li Bo was ordered to deliver a message to Zhao Yuan,
Now the burden of stirring up the overall situation falls on his shoulders alone.
He quickly calmed down and ordered people to move King Xi to the couch, and at the same time asked for a doctor. He also ordered a guard to rush to the capital to inform Zhao Yuan.
In less than half a stick of incense, the doctor was taken into Prince Xi's mansion. The old doctor stood tremblingly in front of Prince Xi's bed, his face pale.
"Why are you standing there, go and take a look!" Butler Zhao glared at him fiercely.
"Yes, yes, yes..." The doctor was arrested by the soldiers without asking any questions. It wasn't until he looked over to the couch in a cold sweat and saw the pale-faced King Xi that he knew something serious had happened. He
Shiveringly, he stretched out his hand to test King Xi's breath, and then felt his pulse. Suddenly, with a face ashen as dust, he sat down on the ground with a "plop".
