It is said that after the banquet was over, the attendant Qi Gu pretended to refuse the pills handed to him by the King of Shu and followed him onto the carriage with a normal expression.
The carriage was wide. The King of Shu held his forehead and said, "I am a little drunk. Please help me get in."
Qi Gu has no doubt about him: "Yes."
Under the order of the King of Shu, he lit the refreshing water incense for him. The sudden aroma came from the cracks of the incense burner. He was caught off guard and made him cough. He quickly turned to the King of Shu and confessed: "My lord, please forgive me. It was me who was rash."
The King of Shu closed his eyelids slightly, propped up his cheeks and said, "Nothing."
Qi Gu then shut up uneasily.
Soon after they arrived at the Prince of Shu's Mansion, Qi Gu was planning how to deliver the news he had just learned from the Prince of Shu to Shen Qingyi's hands. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got off the carriage, more than a dozen guards rushed up, holding weapons. Surround them.
Qi Gu was startled and instinctively retreated, but he saw that someone had already come up behind him. However, he knew that his clothing was impeccable and he didn't know where he was showing off his flaws. So he calmed down and said in panic: "I don't know what I did wrong." What is it? Your Highness, please tell me! Why are the swords pointed at each other like this?"
The King of Shu smiled.
The white snow spread like goose feathers, staining her black hair with mottled spots.
Shi Xian's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he couldn't hide the fear in his eyes even though he tried his best.
Cold sweat flowed down his forehead.
Today, Xiu Duyi posted a notice early in the morning that he was going to perform a new opera, and the number of guests doubled several times. The hall was so crowded that people could hardly breathe.
He casually crushed the pill, and the pieces fell bit by bit in front of Qi Gu.
"..."
He looked Shi Xian up and down, and said with fear: "This... is on crutches, with a bruised nose and a swollen face... Could it be that you robbed something with a wolf? Who could hurt you like this?"
He looked up at the King of Shu in shock and said: "The water incense was burning in the carriage, why are you okay?!"
Qigu paused, knelt down solemnly, and said: "Qigu swears to follow his master to the death."
"Yes, Qigu understands."
The King of Shu walked up to him, stared at him with lowered eyes, sneered, took out a pill from his hand, and said: "This pill is the antidote to this fragrance. If you had taken this medicine before getting into the car, you would naturally not be able to do it now." Hit."
The King of Shu flicked his sleeves and turned around.
Chu Zhengyang was silent. Seeing Shi Xian's eyes full of fear, he knew that this kid must have suffered a big loss at the hands of someone. For the sake of Shi Xian's face, he did not continue to ask any more questions.
His voice trembled: "No, it's nothing... I accidentally... fell it."
She took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve, poured out a longan-sized ball and threw it into Qigu's hands, saying: "I took this thing early in the morning. It was originally a birthday gift for Boss Yu, but look at you. It's so rude, so I'll give you one first."
"You messed up this time. Since you have been with me for the longest time, I will not deal with you. If there is another time, don't blame me for not remembering your past achievements."
The next day, Shi Xian, who was limping back to his house, met Chu Zhengyang, who was about to leave the house.
Shen Qingyi did not answer.
"This is a poison-preventing elixir refined by Sansi. It can cure hundreds of poisons in the world. If you think about it more in the future, if you notice something wrong again, just press this pill under the base of your tongue and hold it up for a while to prevent the poisonous gas from entering the body."
There was a faint smile slowly spreading on Huai Jing's gorgeous face.
Chu Zhengyang waved his hand and said: "No need, the person who asked me to go is Brother Shen. With him here, I don't think there will be any danger."
However, even so, he was still stunned when he saw Shi Xian.
"It's... Shui Ningxiang!"
Qigu took it and said: "This is..."
When Chu Zhengyang saw his strangeness, he just laughed it off and got on the carriage heading for Xiu Duyi.
When Shi Xian heard the words "Second Brother Shen", his face immediately turned pale, and he whispered angrily: "That's true." Then he hurriedly entered the house.
When he saw Chu Zhengyang going out alone, he couldn't help but said, "Third Master, you don't bring a bodyguard with you when you go out?"
"As long as you know."
"This man is easy to torture, so be sure to pry something out of his mouth."
However, the Chu family and the Shen family are both famous families in the capital, with special status. They already have fixed banquet rooms. As soon as Chu Zhengyang arrived, a beautiful maid who was looking at the door greeted him and greeted Chu Zhengyang charmingly. Yi Fu body, smiling and saying: "The third master is here."
Her voice was so gentle, but Qi Gu shivered for no reason.
Qi Gu gritted his teeth and couldn't help but secretly regret that he had capsized in the gutter and fell into the hands of a weak prince.
She said: "The King of Shu is extremely cautious. He only trusts himself in this world. You should not be so eager to pry. Now that the matter has been exposed, it will be harder to sneak into him than to climb to the sky."
"Lao Jiu is gone now. Shi Xian followed Prince Chu all morning again. He thought twice about his medical skills. Now Kong Shiyi is long past his prime. The only people available are the seven of you. How did Lao Jiu die? You have all heard that although I am not a kind person, I am not so ruthless. I treat you very well, and how I do things is up to you."
…
Shi Xian blushed and said, "Thank you, Third Master."
He seemed to be in a good mood, with a hint of relief in his warm smile. He was also dressed in an inexplicably solemn manner, not like the usual dandy who went out to have fun with the fireworks woman.
Shen Qingyi paused and turned to glance at Qigu with unknown meaning.
Chu Zhengyang was dressed very brightly today, with a green-bottomed velvet jacket, and his thin wrists were dazzlingly white. The hairband with jade tassels matched the white snow and red plums. The folding fan in his hand also had three friends of Suihan carved on the side. Even if you hold it in your hand in winter, it doesn't look out of place.
After hearing Qigu's words, Shen Qingyi couldn't help but laugh or cry.
He coughed: "In that case, let the doctor take care of you. If the injury is too serious, it will be difficult for my brother to do anything."
When Qigu saw this, he knew that the matter had been revealed. He was about to leave, but his feet gave way. He fell to the ground in a panic, his limbs were sore and he could not move.
Shen Qingyi turned back.
All the palace guards swarmed forward, the weapons in their hands pointed directly at Qi Gu's neck.
He said: "I already know the identity of your spy. Now that you have given up resistance and revealed the person behind the scenes, I may be able to spare your life."
Chu Zhengyang couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw she was the only one at the door, and said, "Is Mr. Shen's friend here?"
The maid shook her head and said: "Not yet, Second Master Shen said that he would invite Third Master upstairs to listen to the play. The person he arranged will arrive soon."
Chu Zhengyang had no doubts, so he nodded and followed her upstairs.
At the same time, Shen Jingnian had just set off from Shen Mansion to Baihua Tower.
