Perhaps it was the days during the war that made Zhao Hongrun change some of his previous habits in work and rest, so that the next day, he woke up early around six o'clock.
Strictly speaking, it was no longer early, but for a lazy guy like Zhao Hongrun who never got up until dawn, this was already a very rare early morning.
After getting dressed and walking out of the bedroom, Zhao Hongrun was surprised to find Mi Jiang sitting in the front hall, drinking a cup of tea.
It seems that this woman has a special liking for drinking tea.
"Morning." Zhao Hongrun greeted.
However, after hearing these words, Mi Jiang's eyes showed a bit of surprise, and he said lightly: "Morning? It's almost noon."
"For me, who always gets up at noon, it's already quite early." Zhao Hongrun explained with a shrug.
"Hmph." Mi Jiang snorted lightly and said sarcastically: "It seems that you Wei people are much lazier than I thought."
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun also sarcastically said: "Maybe it's because we, the people of Wei, have a better life. As you know, the taxes of people in Wei, are much lower, so even if you are a little lazy, you can still live a happy life."
Tasty…”
…
Mi Jiang's eyes flashed with displeasure when she heard this. Of course she could tell what Zhao Hongrun was sarcastically saying.
"Forget it, I don't want to argue with you... Is there anything strange today?"
"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun scratched his hair when he heard this and said, "I used to not wake up before noon or midnight, but today I woke up at noon. Is this considered abnormal?"
"..." Mi Jiang glanced at Zhao Hongrun coldly, drank tea by herself, and ignored the latter.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be angry, Zhao Hongrun smiled and changed his words: "I'm just teasing you, no need to be so serious, right?... I heard that stupid girl say yesterday that you don't seem to be good at expressing your anger..."
Mi Jiang naturally understood that the stupid girl Zhao Hongrun was referring to was her sister Mi Rui. While secretly blaming her sister for being tricked by the guy in front of her, she reminded him of her previous question: "Abnormal."
"Okay, okay, something strange." Zhao Hongrun thought about it carefully for a moment, shrugged and said, "So far, there is nothing strange."
"No?" Mi Jiang nodded and drank tea by herself.
Looking at this woman's indifferent expression, Zhao Hongrun couldn't guess what she was thinking, so he asked tentatively: "As far as you know, when will the green Gu...well, show signs?"
"I can't tell." Mi Jiang replied calmly, holding the tea cup: "As you said, it was a legend from a long time ago. How did I know it? But I saw you hugging the little girl named Yang Yanxing a few days ago.
Girl, she looks contented with herself. It should be that nothing has happened yet, right?"
"Looking complacent?" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Mi Jiang with a strange look on his face and teased her, "Is it possible that there's something wrong in your heart?"
"..." Mi Jiang glanced at Zhao Hongrun with an incomprehensible look, revealing a look that seemed indescribable, and shook her head speechlessly.
Boring!
Zhao Hongrun curled his lips secretly.
He simply couldn't imagine how miserable his life would be if he really married this woman who couldn't laugh or cry because of that green poison.
Fortunately, there were no signs of the green Gu so far, which made Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but start to doubt whether the Gu had died quietly long ago, leaving the two of them to speculate and worry in vain.
But no matter what, Zhao Hongrun's fear of the green Gu at this time is far less than it was when he was still in Chu Di. Think about it, after all, when he came back this time, because of the little girl Yang Toixing
Even though he didn't know how to ride a horse, he held her in his arms along the way. Although there was no physical contact, the two of them were close enough, right?
But even so, Zhao Hongrun still didn't seem to have any abnormalities at all.
In this regard, Zhao Hongrun could only draw the following conclusion: either Yang Yanxing, who is only fourteen years old, cannot be called a woman at all, or the green poison is exaggerated. In fact, that kind of evil thing is not so horrifying at all.
The effect is just to spread rumors.
Maybe it's just a parasite that looks like it's infiltrating people...
Zhao Hongrun added in his heart.
Of course, Zhao Hongrun would not dare to rashly ask the imperial doctor to take a few doses of medicine to kill the insect before he knew exactly what kind of insect it was. He planned to go to the Zongfu to check the relevant literature beforehand.
However, the Zongfu is a very special government office. Even Zhao Hongrun did not go there just when he wanted to. Therefore, he decided to send someone to inform the Zongfu first.
Of course, he will find an excuse or something. After all, this kind of thing can be big or small. Before the matter is revealed, he doesn't want everyone to know it, especially he doesn't want his mother-in-law Shen Shufei to worry about it.
At this time, Zongwei Gao Kuo walked in from outside the palace and was stunned for a moment when he saw that His Highness had gotten up early today.
"Your Highness, morning."
"Morning, Gao Kuo."
In Mi Jiang's speechless gaze as she secretly shook her head, Zhao Hongrun and Gao Kuo greeted each other.
"Gao Kuo, has the Junshui Camp returned to its base?"
"Yes, we returned to dredging yesterday." Gao Kuo nodded and told Zhao Hongrun the news he knew: "But General Bailiba, as well as Li Wei, Cao Jie, Gong Yuan, Yu Chun, Wu
The five generals are still temporarily staying in the posthouse in the city."
"Where are Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, Wuma Jiao and the others?" Zhao Hongrun asked.
In fact, there were also Shangshui Army and Yanshui Army who came to Daliang with the Junshui Army this time. The number of soldiers was not large. Each of the two armies only had 500 people. However, except for Guliangwei who stayed in Shangshui, and Yanling who stayed in
, Zuoxun River and Zuoqiu in Changping area
In addition to the two generals Mu, the other generals from the Pingyang Army, such as Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, Wuma Jiao, Wu Ji, Hua Yu, Gong Ye Sheng, etc., also accompanied the dredging army to Daliang this time. Their intention was nothing more than to attack
The Emperor of Wei and the Wei court just expressed their feelings.
"Both armies have 500 sergeants each, and they are temporarily stationed in Chunshui, together with the Chunshui army. As for Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, Wuma Jiao, Wu Ji, Hua Yu, Gong Yesheng and others, they are currently stationed with Baili
The general, like General Cao Jie, lives in the post house in the city..." At this point, Gao Kuo seemed to have thought of something and reminded Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness, according to our side
Only then did I find out the news. The imperial court seemed a little dissatisfied with His Highness's overstepping of authority and privately assigning troops to be stationed in the three counties of Shangshui, Yanling, and Changping... Especially several adults from the Ministry of War. They generally felt that His Highness should not remain in power after the war.
Those two armies were composed entirely of Chu people. Perhaps a few adults felt that the Chu people were untrustworthy..."
"Hmph." Mi Jiang snorted softly when he heard this.
Looking at Mi Jiang, who was obviously a little unswerving, Zhao Hongrun waved his hand and said: "The dissatisfaction of the Ministry of War does not matter... Both the Shang Shui Army and the Yan Shui Army followed this king and made great contributions. Even though they are from Chu, they should be rewarded!...
Father will not treat you differently because of this."
As he said that, Zhao Hongrun seemed to have remembered something and ordered: "By the way, Gao Kuo, you go to the clan mansion in person. Just say... well, I want to pay a visit to the second uncle."
"Zongfu?" Gao Kuo was stunned when he heard this and asked curiously: "What are you doing in the Zongfu for your highness?"
No wonder he was wondering, after all, Zhao Hongrun had only told Shen Yu, Wei Jiao, and Lu Mu, three mature and prudent Zongwei, about Zhao Hongrun being infected by Mijiang Green Gu. In addition, Qu Cheng and Yan Mo may have speculated in this regard. After all, when Zhao Hongrun brought the seriously injured Mi Jiang back to Zhengyang County, he asked them about witchcraft in a roundabout way, but unfortunately he got nothing.
The rest of the people, even those who trusted Baili Ba, were as close as Yang Shixing, and even Zhao Hongrun's usual confidant Gao Kuo and other Zongwei did not know about this matter.
As for the reason, it is simply that Zhao Hongrun did not want the matter to be leaked.
"Nothing, just going to visit my second uncle."
"Prince Yan?" Gao Kuo looked a little strange.
It's not that he has any prejudice against Zhao Hongrun's second uncle. The problem is that the second prince is now in charge of the clan. Except for a few elders of the Ji family, who Zhao Hongrun used to call "old men", the second prince of the clan is now in charge. one person.
Even the descendants of the Ji family are not allowed to enter or leave the clan house casually unless there is something important.
"Is there anything important, Your Highness?" Gao Kuo asked curiously.
Seeing Gao Kuo asking, Zhao Hongrun also had a headache and said vaguely: "It's not an important matter, it's just... I'll talk about it first."
But what troubled him even more was that he was still the second uncle who kept a straight face all day long. If there was no other way, he would not want to visit that person.
"Oh." Gao Kuo nodded, and at the same time he was mentally prepared to be kicked out by the people of the clan.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he seemed to suddenly think of something and asked, "Your Highness, are you going to pay a visit to Prince Yan today?"
"This..." Zhao Hongrun glanced at Mi Jiang calmly and said in a strange tone: "Tomorrow, later, I have to go to... um, a waterside pavilion."
I see.
Gao Kuo understood in his heart and showed a bit of a bad smile, but after taking a look at Mi Jiang, the bad smile on his face immediately disappeared.
After all, except for Shen Yu, Wei Jiao, and Lu Mu, the rest of the clan guards still cannot figure out the relationship between their highness and Mi Jiang, the witch from the Chu Kingdom.
"Go quickly!"
"yes!"
Gao Kuo clasped his fists and turned around.
Glancing at Gao Kuo who was leaving, Mi Jiang suddenly asked: "A waterside pavilion...is the place where your beloved confidante lives?"
Obviously, she noticed that Zhao Hongrun and Gao Kuo had frequently secretly looked at her, and Gao Kuo's narrow-minded gaze during this period was self-evident.
"I don't know whether to live or die." Mi Jiang uttered a sentence coldly. Immediately, she put down the tea cup in her hand, rubbed her calves that were a little sore from sitting on her knees for a long time, and said lightly: "I'll go with you."
Zhao Hongrun frowned when he heard this: "What are you going to do?"
"Go and see the confidante that Prince Su Ji Run once mentioned... Do you think I would say that?" Mi Jiang glanced at the strange look on Zhao Hongrun's face and said expressionlessly.
"Why is that?"
"I... don't like staying in a palace like this." When Mi Jiang said these words, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Zhao Hongrun was suddenly stunned when he saw this, and he realized that the person in front of him was also from the Xiong family of the Chu Kingdom. According to the Wei Dynasty, he was equivalent to the status of a princess.
But understanding is understanding, Zhao Hongrun always felt that something was wrong when he took Mi Jiang to see Miss Su.
Seeing this, Mi Jiang said lightly: "What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the little girl from the Yangtou family, or are you waiting for my sister?"
…
Seeing Mi Jiang moving out her sister Mi Rui, Zhao Hongrun felt a chill. He didn't want to get entangled with that stupid girl.
"You are cruel!"
Zhao Hongrun reluctantly agreed.
Perhaps because she caught a glimpse of the unhappy look on Zhao Hongrun's face, Mi Jiang sighed secretly.
Although I don't know how to undo the poison, if you are really poisoned by another woman, I have a way to save you... I can't say it out loud. (To be continued.)
