Poison Genius Consort 2: Emperor’s Swallow

Chapter 93: The old fox was also anxious

Views:

When Gu Feiyan returned to Prince Jing's mansion, she forgot about the Qi family and hurried to find Xia Xiaoman.

"I heard that Your Highness was punished by the emperor, did you go to Daci Temple to face the wall and think about it?"

"snort!"

Xia Xiaoman turned around arrogantly and left, but as soon as he left Gu Feiyan's sight, he rushed to ask Mang Zhong, after all, he didn't know the whereabouts of his master.

At this time, Jun Jiuchen was playing chess with Emperor Tianwu in Emperor Tianwu's bedroom.

Emperor Tianwu's complexion is still good, but he can't sit for a long time. He was leaning sideways on the imperial concubine bed, and Jun Jiuchen was sitting opposite him.

The chessboard made of golden nanmu is elegant yet elegant; the black and white chess made of jade crystal is luxurious yet elegant. The father and son have just started, and the game is clearly not over yet.

Emperor Tianwu didn't seem to be interested in playing chess, he raised his eyes to look at Jun Jiuchen from time to time, but Jun Jiuchen was so focused that he couldn't take his eyes off the chessboard.

There were only their father and son in the house, and the servants and imperial physician all retreated outside.

In the silence, Jun Jiuchen picked up the white piece, but did not drop it, but tapped the chessboard lightly, as if thinking, as if hesitating. His knuckles are slender, with distinct phalanges, so beautiful and eye-catching that it can overshadow all the jade.

Emperor Tianwu glanced at it, and said calmly, "I'm restless. Why, can't the real culprit be found?"

Although Emperor Tianwu was also waiting for news from Dali Temple, he just didn't pay much attention to it, so he didn't know the details.

"Still checking."

Jun Jiuchen replied while making a move. He seemed calm and calm, but he made a dangerous move, which gave Emperor Tianwu an excellent chance to kill.

Emperor Tianwu became serious all of a sudden, and after thinking for a long time, he finally settled down on Heizi. He obviously had the opportunity to encircle and kill, but he took a conservative approach and retreated.

Jun Jiuchen didn't hesitate this time, and immediately made another move, another dangerous move, and Emperor Tianwu continued to retreat. The father and son didn't talk anymore, just like this, one son after another, one after another, within a moment, it became a seemingly ordinary but hidden turbulent situation, Emperor Tianwu gained the upper hand.

Once he gained the upper hand, Emperor Tianwu slowed down. Firstly, he was tired, and secondly, he did not dare to be careless. He knows this son's chess skills too well. Every move of chess seems to be a risky move, but it is actually a well-thought-out trap. He can only take it step by step and stay behind every step of the way. No prince dared to defeat him, but Prince Jing did. If he is careless, he will lose everything.

Not long after, Emperor Tianwu coughed suddenly, and Jun Jiuchen wanted to call the imperial doctor, but he stopped him.

"No, it's rare for me to be so energetic that I can play chess with you. If you call the imperial doctor to whisper in my ear again, I will drive you away!"

"yes."

Jun Jiuchen didn't shout, but poured a glass of water for Emperor Tianwu to drink himself. His movements are careful and respectful, but without any sense of intimacy. After feeding, he immediately sat back.

He said, "Father's complexion has been good for the past two days. I heard from Imperial Physician Su that the prescription my son bought in Shennong Valley is already showing results, and Father will recover after a while of recuperation."

Emperor Tianwu's disease was in his lungs. He coughed for a long time and became weaker and weaker day by day.

According to Dr. Su's diagnosis at the end of last year, he was very pessimistic. He said that if the winter did not heal, it would be worse in summer, and he would not be able to survive autumn. Last year, Jun Jiuchen spent half a year looking for prescriptions everywhere, and finally offered a reward in Shennong Valley for a wonderful prescription for cough relief. It only relieves cough, but not the root cause.

When Jun Jiuchen mentioned this matter, he was undoubtedly probing.

"My own body knows it, you don't need to comfort me."

Emperor Tianwu said while stroking his chest lightly, and quickly changed the subject, asking, "I asked you to keep an eye on the Western Army Camp, why did you ask the Ministry of War to investigate bribery?"

This tone sounds like chatting, but it is actually a question. Emperor Tianwu was very dissatisfied with such a big matter, Jun Jiuchen cut it first and then played it.

"My son conveyed the original words of my father to the Ministry of War. I am afraid that Mr. Lin of the Ministry of War has misunderstood it. My son only found out about it the next day, and it was too late to stop it. My son came today and was just about to tell my father about this matter." It’s a matter! My son is not good at handling things, please give me a punishment from my father.”

Jun Jiuchen clearly gave Master Lin a hint, but he pushed it cleanly in a few words.

Emperor Tianwu had been thinking about it for two or three days after he got the news, but he hadn't figured out the purpose and benefits of Prince Jing's doing so. Now that he heard Prince Jing's explanation, he could only give up.

The day before yesterday, he had told Master Lin of the Ministry of War to be merciful to the Qi family's subordinates, and he did not want to break the balance between the Qi Cheng family. You must know that the two Qicheng clans are not only related to the two families and the two armies, but also the two camps in the Tianyan Dynasty. He especially didn't want the Cheng family to overwhelm the Qi family. Qi Shiming's subordinates were easy to buy, but Cheng Yifei's subordinates were all loyal.

Soldiers who are only loyal to the general but not to the emperor have to guard against them.

What Emperor Tianwu was really afraid of was the Cheng family. The death of old General Cheng was planned by Qi Shiming, but there was no lack of his acquiescence.

Emperor Tianwu nodded his head, but did not pursue further.

He rested for a while, and then asked again, "Who leaked the information about the Daci Temple?"

Imperial Physician Su had seen the forged prescription, and Emperor Tianwu naturally knew about Cheng Yifei's case. At the beginning, Jun Jiuchen used the signature of the Daci Temple as an excuse to recruit the lonely Feiyan into the mansion, and Emperor Tianwu also knew about it. It's just that he didn't expect that Huaining and the Qi family would be involved in this matter, and he didn't expect that his most important son would spread such rumors with a dirty little drug girl.

Jun Jiuchen's eyes fell back to the chessboard long ago. He dropped a piece and said, "The people under my son dare not leak secrets. At this juncture, I'm afraid there are deliberate rumors."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Tianwu seemed to have guessed, and several flashes of anger flashed in his eyes. He suddenly coughed again, Jun Jiuchen insisted on teaching the imperial physician, but Emperor Tianwu insisted on finishing a game of chess.

Jun Jiuchen didn't leave the palace until late at night. The sound of horseshoes broke the silence of the imperial city, and he passed through the city, instead of returning to Prince Jing's mansion, he left the city.

After Jun Jiuchen's back disappeared, a young man appeared on the roof not far away. In the dim light, he couldn't see his face clearly, only his facial features were distinct, with evil lines.

He was tall and tall, with black hair in half a bun, and a simple purple robe without any decorations. If this purple robe was worn by others, it would be ordinary, but when worn on him, it gave people an indescribable luxury, laziness, and dignity.

He stood on the roof, standing in the night, under the shroud of the faint moonlight, he was as beautiful as a painting.

He looked at the slowly closing city gate, and the corners of his mouth curled up. Just this curvature alone gave people an evil, lazy, romantic feeling, like a jade-faced fox who hides his secrets.

After confirming that Jun Jiuchen would not turn back, he turned around and headed towards Prince Jing's mansion. He is none other than the old fox in Gu Feiyan's mouth, Eunuch Wu's rightful master, and the real culprit behind the medicine plan and the medicated diet case.

His target is indeed the Cheng family and the Qi family, but now his target is Gu Feiyan. He always hated losing very much, but this time, he lost very happily.

After a trip, I met such an interesting little drug girl, it's worth it!

He waited for Gu Feiyan to find him, and he was getting impatient...
