As soon as Chen Lin appeared, Guo Huai and others immediately shut up and stood aside obediently.
Chen Lin glanced around them and said coldly: "The palace of the Crown Prince is not a place where you can make noise. Next time, we will skin you."
Guo Huai nodded and said repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare..."
"roll!"
Chen Lin snorted coldly.
Guo Huai and his men fled out in a hurry.
As soon as I reached the entrance of the temple, I regained my composure and turned around again to enter the temple.
"Chen Daban, we are here to deliver official uniforms and boots to Lord Kou on the orders of the empress."
Guo Huai straightened up slightly, as if he was telling Chen Lin that today is different from the past. He has Liu E's support and is not afraid of Chen Lin.
Chen Lin smiled sarcastically, "My Lady didn't tell you to make noise in the Crown Prince's womb, right?"
Guo Huai's face froze.
Chen Lin said coldly: "Leave your official uniform and boots and get out."
Guo Huai lowered his head and gritted his teeth, "Put down your things and let's go..."
Several eunuchs and nuns holding official uniforms, official hats, official boots, and jade belts put down their things and followed Guo Huai and ran out of the palace in dejection.
Kou Ji rubbed his pinched arm and said teasingly: "I didn't realize it, but you are quite powerful. Even the eunuchs around the queen are afraid of you."
Chen Lin sighed secretly, shook her head and said: "Our family is also relying on the remaining power of the official favor to suppress him. I'm afraid we won't be able to suppress him in the future..."
Chen Lin looked at Kou Ji and sighed: "How did you get into trouble with him?"
"who?"
"Guo Huai!"
"That eunuch just now?"
"Um!"
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, then recalled: "I didn't let him hear about the poisonous elixir in Zishi Hall before. So he resented it?"
Chen Lin nodded slowly and reminded: "This person has been with our family for a few days before. He has a somewhat gloomy temper and likes to hold grudges. He dare not use big tricks, but there are endless small tricks. The scene just now was the trick he used
, so you have to be careful..."
When Kou Ji heard this, his eyes became a little deeper.
"Thank you, Eunuch Chen, for the tip..."
Chen Lin shook her head and sighed: "Not to mention, our family has been serving the prince for many years, and he is happiest when you are with him. Our family only hopes that you can live longer and spend more time with the prince."
Kou Ji was stunned and shook his head in confusion.
"Quickly put on your official uniform, wash up, and go with our family to Wende Building. The prince has already gone to Wende Building first... You are already rude..."
Kou Ji was stunned, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"The prince didn't let me, so our family didn't scream."
Kou Ji sighed in his heart.
The little guy is not old and is quite considerate.
Kou Ji picked up the official uniform and put it on.
The official uniform fits very well. Someone from the Clothing Supervisory Department came over the day before to measure Kou Ji and make it custom-made.
After washing up haphazardly, Kou Ji followed Chen Lin to Wende Building.
Wende Tower is located in the Prince's Palace, not far from the Prince's bedroom.
Chen Lin led Kou Ji around the garden and arrived at Wende Building.
An octagonal three-story building.
Three feet high, with blue bricks and glazed tiles.
On every corner of the building, there squatted a mythical beast made of colored glaze.
The mythical beast holds a bell in its mouth, and when the wind blows, the bell jingles.
When Chen Lin arrived downstairs, she stopped.
He did not enter Wende Building.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but the gentlemen who teach the prince's knowledge don't allow him to enter.
Chen Lin was still a figure in the palace, but in front of the gentlemen who taught the prince knowledge, she was just a slave.
When others speak, he must listen.
Kou Ji entered Wende Building alone, climbed to the second floor, and was stunned when he saw the scene on the second floor.
In the middle of the second floor, there is a row of desks and couches.
An old man in his seventies, dressed in green, was sitting at the desk, holding a book in his hand and reading slowly.
The old man was coughing while reciting the saint's article.
It was obvious that he was in poor health.
Crown Prince Zhao benefited from the situation and sat solemnly in front of the old man.
Behind Zhao Youyi, there were other teenagers and children of various sizes sitting.
The oldest is about sixteen years old and the youngest is only nine years old.
After the eldest among them caught a glimpse of Kou Ji, a flash of ecstasy flashed across his face, and then he winked at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji looked at him in astonishment.
"Cough~"
The old man teaching coughed heavily, and his sharp eyes fell on the sixteen-year-old boy.
"Stand while you go..."
When the sixteen-year-old boy heard this, he stood up with a grimace and bowed, then walked to stand next to Kou Ji.
As soon as he arrived at Kou Ji's side, Kou Ji couldn't wait to ask in a low voice: "Why did you enter the palace too?"
Liu Heng looked at the old man teaching, and when he saw that he was not looking this way, he whispered: "I don't know either. Yesterday, I was helping Brother Zhang Cheng build a shop on Zhouqiao Street, and two teams of Imperial City Division officers came.
Some people took me into the palace.
Then I went to my aunt's palace.
My aunt said that we should choose a few companions for the prince, including you and me."
Liu Heng hesitated for a moment, then said mischievously: "She also specifically told me to keep an eye on you. What on earth did you do to make my aunt care about you?
Let me remind you, my aunt is not easy to mess with..."
Kou Ji pursed his lips. He could probably guess Liu E's intention in letting Liu Heng stare at him.
Probably because they were afraid that he would teach the crown prince badly, they specifically chose Liu Heng, one of their own, to keep an eye on him.
"Your aunt may have asked you to protect me."
Kou Ji responded casually.
Liu Heng was stunned, "Fourth brother, we are brothers who are closer than real brothers. Don't lie to me..."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "How could I lie to you? I am now a part-time imperial doctor beside the prince, and my life is at stake. Am I not worthy of protection?"
Liu Heng suddenly realized, "Then it is true that the prince was murdered by the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital?"
"The prince was murdered by the doctors of the imperial hospital?"
Kou Ji looked confused.
Liu Heng whispered: "The day before yesterday, all the people from the imperial hospital were pushed to Caishikou and beheaded. The crime was to murder the prince. Moreover, the three clans were implicated...
You don’t know that the blood was left along the Caishikou into the Bianshui River, and the Bianshui River was dyed red..."
"Did someone kill him?"
Kou Ji muttered, feeling horrified.
He knew that after the poisonous elixir was revealed, many people would die.
I just didn't expect that Zhao Heng would be so ruthless.
In this matter, the imperial doctors of the Taiyuan Hospital were guilty of negligence and concealment.
They should be regarded as the least guilty in the elixir poisoning incident.
They alone are the three implicated clans. If the others are found out, their fate will definitely be worse than that of the three implicated clans.
"Besides this, is there anything else going on?"
Kou Ji asked.
Liu Heng muttered: "My father has been busy these past two days. He has returned to the Imperial City Division and resumed his duties as Imperial City Division."
"No more?"
"No more... Fourth brother, why are you asking these questions? Do you know anything?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly and whispered: "But I can't tell you now."
Liu Heng lived in Bianjing, so he naturally knew that anything related to the imperial palace was taboo, so he did not ask further questions.
"By the way, I remembered something. Your uncle Wang Shu was sent out. It is said that he went to visit famous doctors all over the world. But before leaving, your grandfather asked him to help him suppress bandits."
