Chapter 21 Continue to catch cicadas

"King Wu?" Crispy asked, "Does the king of Wu know about this?"

"There is no evidence, but the people in the palace guessed that it was done by Concubine Li, because at that time, the King of Wu was the eldest son of the former emperor. Although his biological mother had not yet been established, our dynasty always had rules. Unless the eldest son is not virtuous, if there is no big fault, he will not abolish the long and young. That is to say, according to the custom of his ancestors, the king of Wu is a natural prince. However, his biological mother was convicted, and the throne of the prince of the King of Wu was naturally lost. How can the mother and virtuous son inherit the throne? Wei'er told the story faintly. Although she looked expressionless, in Crisp'er's opinion, it was rare for Wei'er to talk so much to her.

"Is there no evidence? What the hell is going on? Isn't it the work of other concubines?"

"Because that day was the full moon of the emperor, the former emperor went to the Caiying Hall to celebrate the little prince with Concubine Li. Of course, other concubines also had to congratulate them as usual. Among all the gifts, only the biological mother of the King of Wu sent a box of snow bait cakes. It was said that she baked it herself, but she didn't expect it was this box. The bait cake caused a reckless disaster. At that time, the late emperor was very happy and had been teasing the little prince. When it was very late, the ladies who came to congratulate her disperse. Just as the mother took away the little prince and the late emperor was ready to rest, Concubine Li suddenly shouted and spit out blood and fell to the ground, and she still held half a piece of snow bait cake in her hand! Such obvious evidence directly points to the biological mother of the King of Wu. How can the former emperor not be angry? After the imperial doctor was invited to treat the imperial concubine Li, he said that the poisoning was not deep. The late emperor was relieved, but for the poisoned person, the late emperor even put the biological mother of the King of Wu into the cold palace without even thinking about it. For the late emperor, it was the greatest grace to avoid the death penalty.

"I still don't quite understand, sister, since it is poisonous in the snow bait cake, how can it be Li Fei on purpose?" Crispy to the bottom of the question.

"Have you ever seen anyone poisoned so blatantly? Unless she doesn't want to live, how can anyone poison the victim since she wants to poison her? Is it the following poison for children's play? As long as his child doesn't make a big mistake, he will become a prince or even an emperor. What reason does the biological mother of the King of Wu have to murder Concubine Li and destroy her and the great future of the King of Wu? Wei'er sighed, "On the contrary, the most beneficial thing in this matter is Concubine Li. Since then, she has not only been favored by the previous emperor, but also received special care of the emperor today. If it were not for the ancestral system, the former emperor might have directly appointed the fourth prince at that time as the crown prince."

"No wonder after Zhuo Luan was appointed as the crown prince, our King of Wei and the King of Wu had to leave Beijing, but today the emperor is allowed to stay in the capital. It is no wonder that after Zhuo Luan was killed by witchcraft, although today's emperor has not been can be crowned as the crown prince, he can directly ascend the throne of the dragon." The crisper also sighed, "The palace What's going on in it is really complicated and terrible. How did you know, sister?

"I'm just hearsay!" Wei Erfu picked up the needle and thread and embroidered it against the light. "In the palace, the fastest transmission is gossip except for the plague."

Crisp nodded, "I think it's impossible for the King of Wu not to know that his mother's concubine was wronged. It turns out that the uprising of the King of Wu has been buried for a long time. Sister, is the biological mother of the King of Wu still alive?"

Wei Er slowly shook his head, "I heard that less than a year after entering the cold palace, he was starved to death."

Crispy's eyes widened this time and didn't come to her senses for a long time, "Are you starving to death? What, what... It's so pitiful..."

"So, I mean, our Wei Palace is much better than that in the palace. It's better for us to do more than one thing. Be careful to serve the master and live in peace. It's a blessing. Crisp, listen to me. What you told me tonight, don't spread it to others again. If you call your wife to listen. Come on, it's light to tear your mouth.

"Oh, how dare I spread it everywhere? I just believe that my sister is a close and steady person. I just came to listen to my sister's opinion. Sister, go to bed early. I also went back. I'm bothering my sister for a long time. I hope my sister won't be blamed!" As she spoke, she got up with embarrassment and hurriedly left.

Fear did not move, she still lowered her head and embroidered her magnolia, and didn't turn off the lights until late at night to rest.

After the time, in the quiet leisure pavilion courtyard, there was a slight sound of breaking the air. With the sound of breaking the air, a black line passed through the half-open window of the bedroom upstairs of Ning Tanger, went straight into the inner room, and nailed into the beam. The sound just stopped. Ning Tanger, who was lying in **, turned over and sat up like a spirit cat, and had no time to wear shoes. , touching her black bare feet and ran to the window. When she leaned out of the window, she saw a dark shadow just passing through the courtyard wall of the leisure pavilion and disappearing at the wall.

Ning Tanger did not hesitate. She turned around and found the fire fold, lit the candle, and lit up. She saw the position of the dart on the beam, and there was still a note tied to the end of the dart.

Take off the darts and unfold the note, which reads the words "Continue to explore the movement of the guard". Ning Tanger frowned and crushed the note. What does it mean? Why do you want her to continue to inquire about the movement of the guard? Since there is a new secret order, it is impossible for the information sent by Xian Gui not to arrive, but the attention to the movement of the guard shows that her master did not pay attention to her opinion and still intends to send troops on standby.

The question is not whether to send troops. The question is whether he knows the strategy of the king's court of Beirong. He once said that he was willing to cooperate with the king's court of Beirong for big things. However, the rise of the king of Wu almost disrupted all their original plans. Now Beirong suddenly moves frequently. Is it the two sides negotiated, or Beirong? Uni-sided peeping?

Ning Tanger was sad and sat down by the couch again. The man was not handsome. There was an elusive heart hidden under his white appearance, and he had a wife, but he didn't know why he deeply attracted her. Thousands of miles away, in the Wei Palace, she always remembered his name countless times every day. Recalling the situations when they met and got along with each other, although it was short-lived, only thoughts could make her continue to persevere in a neglected environment.

Bei Rong is the place where she grew up. However, since she met him, the two can't be compared with each other. Sometimes Ning Tanger feels that even if she loses the world, she will do everything she can for the man who crawls out of humble poverty, because she sees this man, in his ambition and his desire And under his coldness, in fact, she is extremely inferior and extremely fragile, which makes her uncontrollably want to take care of him and fulfill him. If she falls in love with him, she is doomed to be crazy and desperate.

Therefore, if sending troops is a kind of agreement reached by both parties, she should spare no effort to collect information, but if it is just the coveted side of the Northern Rong Wangting, she doesn't know whether it will affect his big plan. Unfortunately, since she came to the Weiwang Palace, he He never revealed his intention to her again. Except for the reasons for the difficulty of sending messages, he seemed to be dormant and quiet.

Ning Tanger thought about it and decided to take a compromise approach. On the one hand, she tried to inform him the news of Bei Rong, and on the other hand, she still inquired about the military situation according to the requirements of Beirong. At that time, it depends on the situation. However, it is not so easy to inquire about the military situation, especially when she met her, she did not get her heart. Wei Wang, and Nie Kong, who seems to be easy-going but has a strange temper and is wary of her, either of them is difficult enough to deal with, but the relationship between the two is as seamless as a brother. How can she get what she needs?

Ning Tanger was thinking about her own thoughts and didn't know it at all. When she leaned out of the window to check, there was another room upstairs by the half-open window, and another person witnessed the shadow and her.

The shadow turned over and out of the wall. After landing lightly, it did not leave immediately. Instead, it squatted by the wall and observed a burst of movement around. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal around, he got up and got into the shaded path.

In the dark, he walked along the path for a while, and then turned to walk in the other direction of the forest. Out of the woods, there was a large circular flowerbed. In the circle, there were four flower and stone paths leading to the flower pavilion in the center. The black shadow came outside the pavilion, quickly took off his night clothes, and under the large pillar cornerstone at the corner of the pavilion. Playing with something, followed the stone slab next to the cornerstone to crack a crack. The black shadow opened the stone slab, stuffed the night clothes into it, and then returned everything to its original position. After doing everything, the shadow seemed to be relieved, patted the dust in his hands, and swaggered away from the Youhua Pavilion.

On the main road of the palace, the shadow came to the light. His body had become the red armor of the palace guard. Not far away, there was a neat sound of footsteps. Listening to the regular pace, it should be the guard patrolling the palace at night. The shadow did not dodge. He went straight up and tidyed it while walking. My own clothes.

"Who! The password!" The leader of the patrol found the shadow, and because of the cover of light and shadow, he did not immediately recognize the person.

"It's me!" The shadow replied faintly, "Xuanlu!" His password is not bad at all.

"Captain Wen?" The leader of the patrol finally recognized the other party. "It's almost three times at night. What is Lieutenant Wen doing here?" It seems that the lieutenant should not be on duty tonight, right?

"I can't sleep, come out for a walk, and the prince asked me to strengthen my vigilance at night. I was worried, so I looked around." Hei Ying said with a faint smile, "The palace has not been peaceful in recent days. You should also be more vigilant!"

"I understand!" The patrol leader arched his hand and said, "Then I won't disturb the lieutenant's inspection. The patrol is here, so let's say goodbye!"

The shadow nodded slightly and passed by the patrolmen.

After listening to the return of a young soldier's armor, Zhuo Ruitong quietly waved his hand with satisfaction, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. Go down and rest first. Do you know that you have to keep an eye on him so closely in the future?"

"Ye!" The armor held the fist, "My subordinates take the order!"

"Don't let him notice!" Zhuo Ruitong told the figure who withdrew from the armor.

Then he looked back at Nie Kong and said, "According to what we have, it is generally that when Ning Tanger has any news to pass on, she takes the initiative to leave a secret note in Youhuating and ask Wen Jian to meet her. After Xian Gui came back this time, Wen Jian took the adventure to find Ning Tanger in the night, indicating that Xian Gui must have brought back the echo of Bei Rong. You How can we know the content of the instructions brought back by Xian Gui?"

"It's not the time to alarm them. If you want to know, of course, you can only guess!" Nie Kong stretched out and yawned, "I hope they don't toss around like this every day, otherwise they will always be woken up in the middle of the night. It's really uncomfortable."

"Can you guess?" Zhuo Ruitong ignored Nie Kong's complaints and just twisted the topic and said, "What did you guess?"
