Chapter 40(1/2)
Cui Xingzhou was very glad that if he hadn't captured Yun Niang and caught the big fish of King Sui, he might have taken a detour for a while.
Since he discovered that many officials in Qingzhou had close contact with King Sui, he sent someone to investigate. After accidentally getting clues, he actually found a descendant of an imperial doctor who had returned home for many years.
This imperial doctor has excellent medical skills. Because he is from a martial arts world, he also knows other normal imperial doctors who are not very proficient in it. It is said that he was an imperial doctor who was personally used by King Sui in the capital.
But just many years ago, the imperial physician went to the Suiwang Mansion for treatment and fell ill and died in the Suiwang Mansion.
When his body was carried back, his family's makeup coffin actually found ink marks on the soles of his feet... The handwriting was quite clear at that time, and the eldest son was familiar with his father's medical skills. He could tell at a glance that it was a prescription for the poison of poisonous wine.
The eldest son, who had been burying the body of the imperial physician, suddenly understood why the imperial physician, who had always been healthy, died suddenly. He definitely saved some unspeakable people and was silenced by King Sui.
It can be seen that my father should be in his sleep when he died. He was not wearing shoes and socks, and struggled with others and accidentally stepped on the medicine that fell to the ground, so that he could get the full marks of the words.
Those murderers who dressed their father probably didn't notice the words under his feet. They just carried him on a stretcher, covered him with white cloth and sent him back to the mansion.
After thinking this out, the eldest son was so scared that he used the excuse to send his father Ye Luo back to his hometown. He returned to his hometown to go to his ancestral grave. The whole family packed his luggage. The other two sons resigned as imperial physicians and all went home with a bedding.
Now that the eldest son is old, the old King of Huaiyang was kind to him, so Cui Xingzhou rushed to the road and asked him all the way, and he told him the secret.
As for who the old doctor rescued, Cui Xingzhou understood at the time.
Not everyone can drink that poisonous wine. According to the day when the imperial physician died, it was the checkpoint where the prince was killed and his descendants were sentenced to death one after another.
Moreover, the mentor he visited not long ago also said that the prince's two legitimate sons may not have died. If the two poisoned young children survived, they would definitely be helped by King Sui.
Then calculate the age, the age of the eldest son... is comparable to that of the young master Ziyu. Thinking of this, Cui Xingzhou suddenly realized something that he thought of when he first saw that Ziyu.
Now that I think about it carefully, the handsome appearance of Tzuyu is so similar to the princess he met at the banquet when he was a child!
Thinking about it this way, it is reported that the prince died and there was no money in the mansion, and it should have been taken by the disappeared young son.
Thinking of the day someone in Yangshan accused Mrs. Liu of rolling up huge amounts of money... Cui Xingzhou opened up many previously blocked joints in an instant.
The Yangshan bandit leader who had been fighting with him for a long time was actually the emperor Liu Jing who disappeared back then!
When Cui Xingzhou was worried and entered the small courtyard of Bei Street again, Miantang was following his mother Li to command two little girls to tear off the quilts in the yard.
In a few days, the weather will be cold and the quilt needs to be fed with some new cotton to ease.
So when Miantang came back from the store, he bought two bags of cotton and prepared to smear the quilts of the masters and servants at home.
So after the yard was cleaned, a few large pieces of oil paper were laid out, and Mother Li asked the little maid to spread the quilt.
Seeing that her husband was back, Miantang asked Li's mother and two little maids to work hard, and she came over to welcome her husband.
When Cui Xingzhou asked her about her daily life today, she also told me about the incident of a Huatoutuo in the store.
"That righteous man said it right. Now there are always people from outsiders in Lingquan Town, and there are mixed things. Just hire a capable shopkeeper on the cabinet. You don't have to always show up."
Although what the subordinates told Miantang today was all the instructions given by Cui Xingzhou, he still solemnly said it again in front of Miantang.
After all, he would not pass by the shop every day to block the disaster for Miantang and stay in North Street, which would save accidents.
Miantang also felt that what his husband said was reasonable and nodded convincingly.
"Where did he pinch you today?" Cui Jiu asked gently while drinking tea.
Miantang honestly raised his left hand. Then she saw that her husband slowly put down the teacup, took her hand and came to the basin behind the screen, dipped it in a handkerchief and washed her wrists.
Liu Miantang felt that the water in the basin was a little sour, and chuckled, "If someone accidentally touched my whole body, my husband would press me into the bucket and soak it for a few days?"
After saying that, Liu Miantang regretted it herself. She just couldn't remember the essence of being cautious in words and actions that the lady taught her. What to touch her whole body? How can she just joke with her husband at random in her daughter's reputation?
However, Cui Xingzhou did not denounce her for his mistakes, but lowered his head and curled his thin lips and said, "It doesn't matter... Then, there will naturally be a way to 'wash' you..."
For some reason, Miantang always felt that he was not smiling seriously, and there was an indescribable coldness in his eyes. She didn't like him to look at her like this, so she reached out to brush water on her husband's handsome face.
Cui Xingzhou slowed down the chill in his eyes, grabbed her naughty slender hand, pulled her into his arms, and wanted to rub the water on the tip of his nose against her face. Miantang's cheeks flushed and he giggled.
Mother Li was coming in with two pots of stewed wolfberry and red date sweet water soup when she saw the prince playing with Lady Liu.
The old mother's wrist shook and almost buckled the sweet water on the upper.
When Cui Xingzhou saw Li's mother come in, he calmed down his smile and pulled Miantang to sit at the table and drink sweet water.
But when Li's mother was holding the tray and was about to go out, she gave a light command: "When I come back in the future, don't come in without giving me instructions..."
In Li’s mother’s heart, this northern house is not the inner courtyard of the royal palace.
She understands the rules!
However, only when the male protagonist gets along with his wife and concubine in private will they deliberately avoid it and not disturb him.
And the house on North Street is just a disguised prison cell. I didn’t expect that I had to follow the rules in the bedroom of the inner courtyard of the royal palace...
After Mother Li withdrew, the old face could no longer be described. What does the prince mean? Could it be that after taking advantage of Lady Liu, he would really take her away?
Thinking of the mother of Miss Lian in the palace, Li's mother shook her head. She was tired after seeing too much intrigue from the concubines in the palace.
Even if Miss Lian can tolerate Miss Liu, I am afraid that the sarcastic Mrs. Lian cannot tolerate it. She must instigate the future princess to punish Miss Liu.
At that time, how can Miss Liu, who has been defiled and has no reliable support for her husband's family, survive!
You must know that the men in the royal palace love their favors are not for life!
At this time, Mother Li was really worried about Miss Liu's future, but she couldn't see any light.
The room was still filled with joyful laughter, and there was no movement in a short while. I don’t know what the two of them were making a fuss...
As Cui Xingzhou expected, the one who King Sui went to see his nephew Liu Jing.
While sailing at the foot of Yangshan, Liu Xiao boarded a cruise ship in the lake.
Liu Pei warmed up the wine early in the morning and waited for the arrival of the prince's orphan.
Although he is of his grandfather's generation, he is more like Liu Jing's uncle in terms of age.
Liu Jing abandoned the royal family for many years and suddenly saw the elders in the royal family, but for a moment he didn't know what they were called.
Fortunately, Liu Pei was approachable and seemed to see Ziyu's embarrassment. He only smiled and said, "Since you haven't recognized your ancestors yet, you don't have to stick to the common name, just call me the title."
Ziyu bowed and said, "Then Ziyu is rude and only calls you the King of Sui."
After saying that, Liu Pei waved his hand indifferently, and asked Liu Jing to sit down, poured him a glass of warm wine, and said in infinite grief: "The last time I saw you, I was still a child. In the blink of an eye, I was so old. The prince knew about it. I was relieved at that time. It was not in vain that I saved you back then..."
Speaking of this, Ziyu's eyes also turned red slightly, but he had experienced too much sorrow in this year, so he was unwilling to cry in front of others. He only thanked King Sui for his grace for saving him.
He was poisoned back then. Although he was taken to beg on the street by his confidants, the child with a look of appearance came to replace him and his younger brother and rescued them from the Eastern Palace, the poisonous wine was too domineering. If he had no good doctor, he would die.
Fortunately, General Sun had some personal relationships with King Sui. King Sui, who was still a young man, was also bold and actually found an imperial physician to provide a good prescription to save him.
Ziyu was grateful for such kindness, so when Miantang said something about King Sui's bad intentions, he even scolded Miantang with slightness and nonchalance...
But King Sui did not come here to be sympathetic, so he just asked him about his next plan.
Ziyu naturally mentioned the marriage with General Shi. Liu Pei felt that this was a good marriage and sighed that Ziyu should get married and have children. No matter whether major events can be accomplished in the future, the prince's lineage must not be broken.
When he and Miss Shi got married, he would also offer a gift to congratulate him.
Next, King Sui analyzed the current form of the court. The Wu family, who is now the noble concubine, was domineering and the foreign relatives controlled the government, which was very unpopular. The old ministers in the court are still there, and they still remember the virtues of the former crown prince.
His confidant in the court had paved the way for Liu Xiao. After the reunion, he would go to Beijing to receive an official position. Then he would plan an opportunity to raise a military palace to eliminate the party of traitorous concubines.
Liu Jing listened calmly to the big cake painted by Grandpa Emperor and said lightly: "The plan is still far from the big cause. If you can kill the enemy and avenge your father and younger brother, you will have enough wishes. As for your talent in governing the country, you know that you are despised and really useless. You still need King Sui to rectify the trouble and save the mountains and rivers of Dayan..."
When Liu Xiao bid farewell to King Sui and left the boat, it was perhaps because of the cold air, coughing constantly, and he looked weak.
When he got on the carriage, Mr. Qin whispered: "Although King Sui is a blood relative of the young master, the young master must be careful!"
Liu Qing nodded. After the corruption case on the mountain broke out, he suddenly became much clearer.
He valued old love too much, and was always grateful for the favor of saving the Eastern Palace, and was unwilling to think too badly about these old subordinates.
But in fact, people's hearts will change. In fact, everyone of his old subordinates has his own abacus.
Miantang's departure allowed Liu Qing to see a lot of things in the world.
What is this Sui Wang? Miantang analyzed it for him early in the morning and even strongly opposed General Sun's opinion on joining forces with King Sui.
But according to Miantang's idea, he is too conservative. How can he avenge his deep blood hatred in a day?
In fact, he also knew that although Miantang was smart, she did not have much ambitions. If it weren't for him, she might not have stayed in Yangshan.
Now that Miantang has left, Liu Jing has no need to convince her. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to take a risk.
He was too eager to succeed. He had suffered too many hardships in the first half of his life. Now he can only win back everything that belongs to him by burning his boats, including Miantang.

Thinking of this, his fists tightened, the road ahead was thorny, and the sea of fire was vast behind him. He had no way out, so he could only keep moving forward...
After seeing his sick nephew and grandson leave, King Sui smiled playfully.
I am so weak that I may not be able to withstand too much luck.
The mother of King Sui was the Gong family of the Dayan family. His mother respected him as the Empress Dowager. How honorable is the Yaofei but her daughter-in-law. How could the Yaofei be allowed to be lawless in the Wu family?
Therefore, if the Gong family wants to defeat the Wu family, they will accumulate high hopes on him, Liu Pei.
But as my mother said, now the time is not right, and the Wu family is arrogant for a while. When the heavens are angry and people are resentful, it is when Liu Pei returns to the capital.
Now, he still needs to accumulate energy and stay dormant for a while. Whether it is Liu Jing or the King of Huaiyang, they are all bargaining chips that lead the Wu family, so he is not in a hurry...
But in this leisure time, I always have to spend some time. Somehow, a peach blossom pollen cheeks appeared in front of Liu Pei.
To be continued...
