Chapter 51 You monster!
"Ding - exchange successful."
"After deducting 80 merit points, the rebound talisman takes effect immediately and lasts for a quarter of an hour. The remaining merit points are - 60."
Just as the mechanical voice fell, Di Zaiying suddenly swooped over, but he pretended to be panicked, as if he accidentally fell on the couch.
The needle was dipped in his hard-earned poison.
The patient will have a high fever on the first day, numbness and itching all over the body on the second day, ulcers on the face of the face on the third day, a heart attack like thousands of ants eating away at the heart on the fourth day, and death from heart failure on the fifth day.
Because the poison was not immediately fatal, he had plenty of excuses to avoid suspicion, so he still had to put on a show to prevent the Fourth Prince from finding out that he was responsible.
He still wants to stay in this palace well, slowly get rid of the fourth prince, the prince and the queen, get rid of the dog emperor, and avenge Yu Liu!
When the fourth prince saw Di Zaiying suddenly falling down, his face immediately became concerned.
"Mr. Di, what's wrong with you? Be careful not to crush Sister Qiao."
Di Zaiying confessed, and when he saw an opportunity in the corner of his eye, he used the cover of his robe to gently stab the back of Qiao Jiaojiao's white and tender hand.
Don't use too much force, otherwise it will leave pinholes and make it easy to detect clues!
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes were widened, staring at Di Zaiying's movements, her heart almost jumped out of her chest!
[Old King of Hell, Old King of Hell, please don't lie to me with your Merit Mall! My life is in your hands! 】
[Coming, coming, he is coming! Ahhhh! 】
This small body was still very clumsy. Qiao Jiaojiao desperately tried to hide, but she only moved half of her body.
Seeing the dark needle point falling, Qiao Jiaojiao was so frightened that she closed her eyes.
One breath, two breaths...
[Hey, it doesn't hurt...]
Qiao Jiaojiao opened her eyes in surprise and saw Di Zaiying standing up suddenly. He opened his sleeves in a panic, revealing the back of his white hands.
I saw a drop of bright red blood slowly emerging from his tiger's mouth.
At this moment, Qiao Jiaojiao opened her mouth in disbelief.
【Rebound! Really bounced back! He just wanted to stab me here! 】
[Old King of Hell, you have a conscience! I'll kowtow to you a few more times later! 】
Di Zaiying stared blankly at his bloody tiger's mouth, a hint of horror slowly emerging in his eyes.
The next moment, he looked up at Qiao Jiaojiao on the couch, his eyes seemed to be looking at some monster.
No, he must have made a mistake just now!
In extreme shock, Di Zaiying forgot to cover up. He rushed to the couch, grabbed Qiao Jiaojiao's little hand, and plunged the needle into her palm.
When the fourth prince saw this scene, his eyes were so frightened that he didn't even react for a moment.
"ah--"
A rapid cry of pain came from Di Zaiying's throat. He turned his hands and saw blood beads pouring out, instantly staining the palm of his hand red.
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
At this moment, everything happening in front of him was completely beyond Di Zaiying's cognition.
This...there are no ghosts and gods in this world!
Otherwise, why didn't the gods protect his Yu Liu, and why didn't Yu Liu come to him after his death!
"Impossible! Impossible!"
Di Zaiying seemed to be going crazy, raising his hand and stabbing Qiao Jiaojiao hard again and again.
His whole body was convulsing, and the more pain he felt, the more frightened he became.
"Monster! You monster!"
Qiao Jiaojiao knew that her life was safe, so she was very calm.
She even looked at Grandma Di Rong Zaiying with a strange expression.
Seeing him looking at her with horror on his face, Qiao Jiaojiao tilted her head and grinned at Di Zaiying.
【I am a person with a golden finger! Scared you to death! 】
Di Zaiying froze when she saw such a meaningful smile on the face of a seven-month-old baby. At this moment, she was so frightened that her face turned pale.
The fourth prince was stunned for a long time. At this moment, seeing Di Zaiying stunned, he recovered from the panic.
"Someone! Someone come quickly!"
The fourth prince shouted at the top of his lungs, and then kicked Di Zaiying hard in the heart.
Di Zaiying was unprepared and was kicked so hard that his vision went dark and he let go of Qiao Jiaojiao's hand.
Upon seeing this, the fourth prince immediately stood in front of Qiao Jiaojiao, with a small face that was as white as white but extremely determined.
"Someone come quickly!"
He called three times in a row, and when no one came in, he knew something was wrong!
Sister Qiao's entry into the palace today was all due to the Queen Mother's impromptu decision. In such a hasty situation, Mr. Di was able to be careful enough to send away all the prince's brother and guards, which shows that he has been planning for a long time!
There is such a cancer hidden in the inner courtyard of the palace, and he is also his first teacher!
Thinking of this, the fourth prince was really frightened.
He only has one thought now: he must never let anything happen to sister Qiao!
"Sister Qiao, I'll take you away!"
The fourth prince turned around suddenly, put his hands around Qiao Jiaojiao's armpits, and wanted to imitate an adult and pick up Qiao Jiaojiao.
However, before he could exert his strength, Di Zaiying rushed over again with a ferocious face.
The blood on his hands had turned black, and Di Zaiying knew that he was poisoned and would die.
This daughter of the Qiao family is a monster. Since she cannot be killed, the fourth prince must be buried with her today no matter what!
He left his hometown and stayed dormant in the Yong Dynasty for fourteen years. After so many years of planning, who would have thought that he would fall on the daughter of the Qiao family!
He couldn't return empty-handed, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain when he saw Yu Liu!
The prince and the queen loved the fourth prince to the core, and killing him would make them miserable!
Qiao Jiaojiao looked over the fourth prince's shoulder and saw Di Zaiying's intention.
[Oops, this silly Baitian doesn't have a rebound charm! 】
Seeing that the fourth prince had lifted herself up, Qiao Jiaojiao jumped forward in desperation.
The fourth prince could not kneel firmly at all, and was suddenly thrown onto the bed by Qiao Jiaojiao.
At the same time, the poisonous needle that was supposed to be pierced into the fourth prince's body was pierced into Qiao Jiaojiao's shoulder.
Qiao Jiaojiao didn't feel any pain at all, but Di Zaiying screamed in pain.
However, when the fourth prince saw this scene, he was so frightened that his heart trembled.
He knew that without Qiao Jiaojiao's attack, he would have been the one who got hit!
"Sister Qiao, nothing can happen to you!"
The fourth prince rolled around with Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms, turned over and lay down on the bed, then picked up Qiao Jiaojiao with great effort, and ran out with bare feet.
"Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"
Qiao Jiaojiao really wanted to tell the fourth prince that he could throw her on the couch and Di Zaiying couldn't hurt her.
[Huh-huh-I can't breathe anymore, put me down! 】
The fourth prince was afraid of being caught up by Di Zaiying and afraid of throwing Qiao Jiaojiao, so he could only wrap his arms around Qiao Jiaojiao tightly.
Qiao Jiaojiao felt like she was about to suffocate!
The fourth prince became increasingly anxious when he heard Di Zaiying's messy footsteps behind him.
He hated himself for being too weak and unable to protect Qiao Jiaojiao, and even more hated himself for being stupid for not noticing anything was wrong with Di Zaiying!
Thinking of the injection Qiao Jiaojiao received for him, his nose suddenly became sore.
"Don't run! Don't run!"
Di Zaiying screamed from behind, her voice was hollow, and she was obviously too weak to handle it.
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes darkened as she saw Di Zaiying chasing after her.
She was being strangled tightly now, and there was really no way she could stop Silly Baitian.
Seeing the blood-stained black needle being raised high, an urgent shout suddenly came from the door to the study room:
"stop!"
The fourth prince suddenly raised his head when he heard the sound and couldn't help crying with joy!
"elder brother!"
Chapter 52 Protect Sister Qiao!
The prince hurried to the imperial study. Eunuch Huang, who was beside the emperor, immediately came up to him, bowed and said:
"Your Highness, Your Majesty is taking a nap, what are you doing?"
The prince frowned suddenly, "Take a rest? Didn't my father send someone to summon me?"
Eunuch Huang looked confused when he heard this, "This... this has never happened before. The old slave is just standing outside here. The Holy Master has always been in the imperial study and has never summoned anyone."
The prince was slightly startled at first, then his expression suddenly changed, and he whispered: "Not good!"
Eunuch Huang was startled by the prince's expression and asked hurriedly: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
The prince turned around and left, his purple hem flying, and he didn't even care about his manners.
When Eunuch Huang saw it, something big had happened!
He didn't dare to be careless at that moment, and immediately turned around and opened the door of the imperial study room.
When the prince hurried to the study, he saw such a shocking scene.
The fourth prince was seen staggering away with Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms, and behind them, Di Zaiying, who was originally elegant and dignified, now looked ferocious, holding a blood needle like a murderous ghost!
The prince's heart trembled suddenly, and in his desperation he only had time to pull off a piece of purple jade hanging from his waist and shoot it out as a hidden weapon.
"ah!"
The purple jade hit Di Zaiying squarely between the eyebrows, and he screamed in pain. At this moment, the pain in his skull seemed to be shattered and unbearable.
He covered his eyebrows and screamed wildly. The black blood in his palms rubbed against his face, which made him even more horrified.
Qiao Jiaojiao saw it very clearly. The purple jade was coming fiercely and with excellent accuracy. She could tell that the person shooting hidden weapons was a master!
[Did the prince do it? The prince knows martial arts? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao was shocked!
[No, the original book didn't mention it! And if the prince really had such martial arts, how could he die suddenly without any reason? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao was muttering in her heart when a pair of strong hands suddenly picked her up.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaosi. Is Jiaojiao okay?" The prince's gentle and fearful voice sounded.
"Brother! Look at my sister. She was stabbed hard on the shoulder by Mr. Di. The needle is black and must be poisonous!"
"That needle...that needle was supposed to prick me, but my sister blocked it for me!"
"Ooooooo, what should I do, brother? I'm so afraid that something will happen to my sister!"
Qiao Jiaojiao glanced at Silly Baitian on the ground, who was holding the prince's sleeve tightly and crying with snot and tears.
Qiao Jiaojiao looked back again and saw that there was no one else in the study room at this time.
Therefore, the purple jade just now was really issued by the prince!
It turns out that the prince's martial arts skills are so strong!
Qiao Jiaojiao discovered the secret that was not written in the original work, and couldn't help but feel excited and worried.
[That dog author didn't fully use God's perspective, and the pitfall of the prince's sudden death was not filled in until the end! 】
[Now it seems that I can only slowly dig it out on my own! 】
Di Zaiying was rolling on the ground covering her head. When she heard the fourth prince's words, she suddenly screamed: "Monster! The Qiao family's daughter is a monster!"
When the prince heard that it was a poisonous needle, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.
If anything happens to Qiao Jiaojiao in the palace, he will be blamed!
Thinking of this, he couldn't care about anything else and pulled Qiao Jiaojiao's collar open.
The clothes were pulled down to the shoulders. The prince lowered his eyes and saw that the baby's face was very smooth, with fluffy lanugo hair, rosy and soft.
There are no wounds at all!
Could it be that Xiaosi misremembered in his panic and it was actually the other shoulder that was injured?
The prince was about to check again when the fourth prince already whispered: "Great! My sister is really fine!"
He remembered clearly that just now Di Zai Yingza landed on Qiao Jiaojiao's right shoulder, and he used all his strength.
Even if the murder weapon is a needle, it will still leave a wound, not to mention the delicate face of Sister Qiao.
At this moment, the fourth prince couldn't help but think of the incredible scene on the bed just now.
It seems that no matter where Mr. Di touches Sister Qiao, Sister Qiao doesn't have any reaction, but Mr. Di will have corresponding wounds on his body.
No wonder Mr. Di calls Sister Qiao a monster...
Qiao Jiaojiao felt her heart skip a beat when she saw Silly Baitian suddenly froze.
[In order to save my life just now, I didn't take too much care, but the effect of the rebound talisman was even seen by Silly Baitian! 】
[This guy is smart, I guess he has already reacted. If he tells the prince or others, I won't really be burned as a monster, right? 】
"Xiaosi, are you sure Jiaojiao was pricked by a poisonous needle?"
The prince checked Qiao Jiaojiao's shoulders and found nothing unusual, but he was still unsure.
The fourth prince lowered his eyes slightly, a flash of contemplation flashed through his watery eyes, and finally raised his head and said with a simple expression:
"Brother, the situation just now was too critical. Maybe I really saw it wrong. Just hope my sister is fine!"
Qiao Jiaojiao was shocked when she heard this.
[Is he really scared, or... is he covering for me? 】
[He is only four years old, a little kid, but he knows so many twists and turns? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes were full of surprise. How could children in ancient times mature so early?
The fourth prince slowly lowered his head, tugged on his sleeves with a guilty look on his face, and secretly confessed in his heart: "Brother, I'm sorry, you taught me children to be honest, but I lied to you."
"Sister Qiao is very special. She must be a little fairy from heaven, so Mr. Di can't hurt her."
"I'm not afraid of Sister Qiao. She just saved me. But if I tell others, they will treat Sister Qiao as a monster just like Mr. Di."
"The monster needs to be burned and beaten to death. I can't let Sister Qiao fall into that situation!"
Thinking of this, a determined look appeared on the fourth prince's immature face.
"Sister Qiao protected me, and I will protect Sister Qiao too!"
At this time, a large group of people came outside the door, headed by Eunuch Huang.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Are you okay? Ouch, where are the guards in the study?"
Eunuch Huang hurried into the study room and was startled when he saw the ferocious-looking Di Zaiying on the ground.
"This...this, isn't this Mr. Di? Your Highness, what exactly is this?"
The prince's face was grave. He tightened Qiao Jiaojiao's clothes again and said coldly:
"Di Zaiying secretly hid a murder weapon and assassinated the fourth prince in the palace. He is an unforgivable crime! Take him down! I will personally try him!"
"hiss--"
As soon as the words "Assassinate the Fourth Prince" came out, Eunuch Huang and the guards behind him took a deep breath.
This is a grave crime to punish the nine tribes!
"Quick, quick, quick! Take him down!"
Eunuch Huang gave an order, and four members of the Royal Forest Army came in and picked up the crazy Di Zaiying.
Di Zaiying struggled violently and kept shouting: "Monster! The Qiao family's daughter is a monster!"
The prince's expression became colder and sterner.
"Stop his mouth for me!"
"It is said that Mr. Qiao and Dalang Qiao entered the palace. Miss Qiao was frightened in the palace. I must give them an explanation!"
Chapter 53 Dog Emperor, don't touch me!
When the news reached Yikun Palace, the Queen was furious, but when she came to her senses, she felt cold sweat all over her body.
Di Zaiying is the first teacher of Primary 4!
If he hadn't revealed his fox tail today, Xiaosi could have been killed by him anytime!
When Mrs. Qiao heard that Qiao Jiaojiao was in danger, she stood up suddenly and felt that the world was spinning at this moment.
At this moment, the prince hurriedly walked into Yikun Palace with Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms and the fourth prince at his side.
The moment she saw Qiao Jiaojiao, Mrs. Qiao didn't care about the loss of etiquette and immediately rushed over to greet her.
"Jiaojiao!"
When Qiao Jiaojiao saw Mrs. Qiao after she was in danger, she couldn't help but feel a sore nose and immediately reached out to Mrs. Qiao.
Mrs. Qiao's heart trembled violently. She hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and looked up and down countless times.
[Mom, there's nothing wrong with me! real! 】
[I have a golden finger. That merit mall not only saved me, but also saved Silly Baitian's life! We even found out that Di Zaiying! 】
When Mrs. Qiao heard Qiao Jiaojiao's heartfelt voice, her whole heart suddenly relaxed, and her hands and feet felt weak at this moment.
"Mrs. Qiao, I didn't think carefully about Jiaojiao's danger. Please—"
"Your Highness, you must never say such things to your wife. This is a thief who has been planning for a long time and has nothing to do with you."
Mrs. Qiao actually has resentment in her heart.
She blamed the prince for taking Jiaojiao out and not sending Jiaojiao back to Yikun Palace in time when he was leaving.
But Mrs. Qiao also knew in her heart that the prince was also being plotted against.
Both her husband and the elder man often said in front of her that the prince was a virtuous prince and a great blessing to Yong.
Now that Jiaojiao is fine, Mrs. Qiao will not embarrass the prince.
When the prince saw that Mrs. Qiao was so reasonable, he couldn't help but feel more and more guilty.
"Thank you, Mrs. Qiao, for your understanding. I have summoned Mr. Qiao and Da Lang to the palace. Mrs. Qiao will rest at my mother's house first. I will definitely give an explanation to the Qiao family about this matter."
After the prince finished speaking, he strode away.
The fourth prince snuggled close to the queen, his eyes fixed on the cute and cute Qiao Jiaojiao, and he secretly affirmed his previous actions.
While the queen comforted the fourth prince and Mrs. Qiao, she also recited Amitabha several times in her heart.
About half an hour later, Eunuch Huang came to Yikun Palace in person and said that the Holy Father had summoned the Fourth Prince and Mrs. Qiao.
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard that she was going to see the emperor, she couldn't help but feel curious and nervous.
When they arrived at the door of the imperial study, Eunuch Huang went in specially to report, and then Qiao Jiaojiao and the others were summoned to go in.
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes widened. First she saw all the splendor and splendor, and then her eyes fell on the emperor in dragon robes behind the case.
It can be seen from the looks of the princes that their fathers are definitely handsome.
Now when I took a closer look, I saw that the emperor was indeed very handsome, and the prince looked 60% like him.
Perhaps because he had been in power for many years, the emperor's features were much colder and harsher than the prince's, and his noble and graceful demeanor always felt a little unkind.
Seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao restrained herself a lot.
[This emperor is also a bitch, you have to be careful in front of him! 】
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she trembled all over and almost sprained her feet in front of Emperor Yong.
Qiao Jiaojiao immediately looked around, and when she saw Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing, her eyes suddenly lit up.
【father! Brother! Woohoo, we've only been apart for a while, but I already miss you so much! 】
Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing stared at Qiao Jiaojiao from the moment she walked in the door.
Although the prince said that he had checked with the imperial doctor and found that Jiaojiao was fine, they could not rest assured until they saw Jiaojiao with their own eyes.
At this time, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Qiao Jiaojiao's still lively voice.
Emperor Yong saw this scene and turned his attention to Qiao Jiaojiao.
"Zhongguo, is this your baby bump?"
Qiao Zhongguo immediately took a step forward and respectfully replied: "My lord, it is my little girl Jiaojiao."
"Bring it over here and show it to me."
Emperor Yong seemed to be in high spirits.
Hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo took Qiao Jiaojiao from Mrs. Qiao's arms and gave Mrs. Qiao a gentle and comforting look.
When Mrs. Qiao saw her husband, her originally anxious heart suddenly felt at ease, and she calmly nodded to Qiao Zhongguo.
Qiao Zhongguo carried Qiao Jiaojiao to the dragon case, and Emperor Yong actually stood up in person.
Qiao Jiaojiao thought Emperor Yong was going to hug her, so she was so frightened that she immediately shouted in her heart:
【Don't touch me! Emperor, don't touch me! 】
Qiao Zhongguo shook his fingers slightly. After all, the city was deep enough, but nothing strange was revealed.
[The most ruthless family is the emperor's family, and that's right, the Yong Emperor in front of us! He actually has feelings, but all his feelings were given to Princess Yuliu! 】
【Can you imagine? Princess Yuliu has been dead for thirteen years, and the Dog Emperor still loves her to the core! Moreover, Aiwujiwu also has high hopes for the second prince! 】
When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, his heart skipped a beat!
What does it mean to have high hopes?
The emperor has high hopes for a prince, isn't that... to inherit the throne?
However, isn't there already a Prince's Palace——
When Qiao Zhongguo's thoughts reached this point, he suddenly remembered the sudden death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince four years later, and instantly felt a chill down his spine.
[Don't think that the Dog Emperor is showing great respect to the prince and neglecting the second prince. In fact, he is protecting the second prince in disguise! 】
[Later, the prince died suddenly and the court was in chaos. Even though Concubine Xiao had given birth to a son for the prince, the Dog Emperor still pushed the second prince to the position of heir apparent despite all opinions! 】
[But the second prince hated the Dog Emperor deeply because of the death of Princess Yuliu. The two father and son killed each other, and the second prince became the final winner. 】
[The Dog Emperor was seriously ill on the bed, and confessed his innocence before he died. Only then did the second prince realize that the Dog Emperor had been with good intentions all these years, and had completed his confession at the last moment. 】
[Look again now, wash your ass! 】
The more Qiao Jiaojiao thought about it, the angrier she became.
[The Dog Emperor can love Princess Yuliu, but at least he should take care of the Queen and his two sons! 】
[The fourth prince drowned during the Dragon Boat Festival. He didn't feel sad. He turned around and opened the back door for the second prince so that he could get people into the palace. 】
[The queen was depressed, but he didn't care about it. She talked about her heart to Princess Yuliu's portrait all day long. After the prince died suddenly, the queen went completely crazy. 】
[Wait a minute, now I even doubt whether the sudden death of the prince was the emperor's handiwork! However, tiger poison does not eat seeds, so we can't be so crazy, right? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts were far away.
Qiao Zhongguo and the others were frightened when they heard it, and by the end they were shuddering.
So, when the second prince calculated that all members of the Qiao family would die in misfortune, did the Holy One also turn a blind eye?
Or, in order to clear the way for the second prince, their family might even have been eliminated by the Holy One himself!
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo's veins bulged out on the back of his hands, and he even breathed a little heavier.
"Yeah--"
Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly let out an innocent cry, pulling Qiao Zhongguo out of the whirlpool of his thoughts.
It turned out that Emperor Yong was teasing Qiao Jiaojiao and put a piece of yellow jade into her hand.
"Zhongguo, your daughter is really smart."
Emperor Yong smiled lightly and praised, then raised his voice and said:
"Bring Di Zaiying up."
Chapter 54 Pulling Jiaojiao into the water
Qiao Zhongguo immediately hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and stepped aside. The fourth prince stood beside the prince. Hearing this, he couldn't help but clenched the prince's sleeves.
The prince noticed the fourth prince's nervousness, quietly wrapped his little palm, and smiled tenderly at him.
When the fourth prince saw this, he immediately straightened his back.
The prince's brother is protecting him, so he is not afraid!
Moreover, he also wants to protect Sister Qiao!
The sound of the chains clanking sounded. Qiao Jiaojiao raised her eyes and looked over, and saw Di Zaiying walking in with a numb expression.
The blood on his face has not been washed away, and now he is even more embarrassed and cannot see his original appearance clearly.
Qiao Jiaojiao still couldn't help muttering.
[Di Zaiying is a pure Northerner. If you wash his face thoroughly, you should still be able to see the difference in appearance. 】
[He has been lurking in the Yong Dynasty for so long and finally entered the palace. He hasn't seen the second prince yet, right? 】
[If I hadn't suddenly appeared today, Di Zaiying would have been able to endure it. 】
"Kneel down!" the guard shouted beside him.
Di Zaiying sneered. He knew that he was certain to die, so he could no longer hide his hatred for Emperor Yong at this moment.
"The Dog Emperor!"
"shut up!"
When the prince saw Di Zaiying making rude remarks, he immediately shouted to stop him.
Emperor Yong waved his hand, his expression unexpectedly calm.
"Di Zaiying, I ordered people to check your origins, and there are no questions. Why did you want to assassinate the fourth prince?"
Di Zaiying continued to sneer. He ignored Emperor Yong and looked around, suddenly settling on Qiao Zhongguo beside him.
Qiao Zhongguo...
When Qiao Zhongguo arrived at the capital of the Northern Kingdom, he stood next to Yu Liu and glanced at him from a distance.
It is really majestic and upright.
If it weren't for Qiao Zhongguo, why would Yu Liu go to the Yong Dynasty to get married and become the dog emperor's plaything!
Thinking of this, strong hatred burst out on Di Zaiying's face. His eyes slowly fell on Qiao Jiaojiao in Qiao Zhongguo's arms, and he suddenly shouted:
"Monster! The Qiao family's daughter is a monster! She can't be hurt!"
"I stabbed her with a poisonous needle and hurt myself all the way! She was intact! She's a monster!"
【What monster! That's the rebound charm I got in exchange for my merit! Specially designed to defeat ruthless people like you! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao knew that Di Zaiying would definitely not let her go!
When Emperor Yong heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, "That's nonsense!"
Di Zaiying looked excited, he had lost everything, at least let him take away one of his enemies, so that he could have the face to see Yu Liu!
"I'm not talking nonsense! The Fourth Prince also saw it with his own eyes!"
He stretched out his hand covered in black blood, trying hard to show the wounds on it.
"I made all these wounds on Qiao's daughter! But the wounds all appeared on me!"
"Emperor Dog, there is an invulnerable girl in the Qiao family, aren't you afraid?"
Emperor Yong looked solemn when he heard this, but he did not immediately reprimand Di Zaiying for his ridiculous words.
Seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo slowly frowned.
Holy lord, what does this mean?
Do you want to doubt their Jiaojiao family just because of a person with ulterior motives?
Qiao Jiaojiao also cursed secretly: [This dog emperor is so suspicious! 】
When Di Zaiying saw that Emperor Yong didn't speak, he became more and more energetic.
"Emperor Dog, if you don't believe it, get a needle now and you will know after you try it!"
"The Qiao family's daughter has tricks! How dare you keep such a person!"
When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, he was furious.
Qiao Jiaojiao was not afraid when she heard this.
[The effect of the rebound talisman can only last for a quarter of an hour, and the time has long passed! 】
Even though Qiao Zhongguo knew that Qiao Jiaojiao was confident, he still couldn't bear to let her be harmed even a little bit.
He sent Qiao Jiaojiao to Qiao Tianjing's arms, then knelt down to Emperor Yong and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, this Di Zaiying's identity is unknown and he has evil intentions. These heart-breaking words clearly mean to kill my little girl!"
"My little girl is so young and learning to talk with her teeth, how innocent she is. I think about it, I am afraid that this Di Zaiying is going to target me."
"I work conscientiously in the court, do my duty, and have always been on good terms with others. The only person in the world who hates me so much is a traitor from the Northern Kingdom!"
As soon as Qiao Zhongguo said this, Di Zaiying's face showed a moment of panic.
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, her admiration for her father instantly reached its peak!
【Daddy, daddy! Why are you so smart! You were right! This Di Zaiying is from the North! 】
Qiao Zhongguo lowered his head and continued: "Your Majesty, can you cleanse Di Zaiying's face and see his true face?"
【Ah ah ah! On to the point again! My father is both wise and brave, invincible in the world! 】
Emperor Yong's eyes flashed slightly, then nodded, "Huang Pei, cleanse your face!"
"yes!"
Eunuch Huang hurriedly got together, asked the young father-in-law to bring a basin of water, and said to the imperial guards: "Suppress him!"
A total of five people went up and pressed Di Zaiying to the ground. Eunuch Huang dipped his towel in water and carefully wiped Di Zaiying's face.
Di Zaiying reacted fiercely and kept shouting: "Get out! Get away!"
After Eunuch Huang finished wiping, he signaled to the imperial guard to let go. Di Zaiying stood up suddenly, and his appearance was clearly displayed in front of everyone.
The slightly sunken eye sockets, narrow eye shape, especially the high bridge of the nose, and thin lips really look exactly like a typical northerner!
"You are really a traitor from the North!" Qiao Zhongguo shouted, "Tell me, who are you and what do you want to do when you sneak into the palace!"
Di Zaiying was filled with hatred. He already looked up to Qiao Zhongguo very highly, but unexpectedly he still underestimated him!
"Qiao Zhongguo, don't think that exposing me will cover up the fact that your daughter is a monster!"
He was very good at focusing on key points, and he was determined to drag Qiao Jiaojiao into the water.
Just when the scene was in a stalemate, a childish voice suddenly sounded.
"not like this!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw the fourth prince standing up with a pale face.
"Go back to my father, I have something to say."
Emperor Yong raised his eyebrows slightly.
He didn't care much about his youngest son. When he was four years old, he rarely interfered with his affairs. The only person who made arrangements for him was the enlightened Mr. Di Zaiying.
Oh, he remembered that every afternoon, someone would hand in Xiao Si's homework.
But he never glanced at it and disposed of it along with the waste paper.
In his impression, the youngest son was raised too delicately by the queen and was always soft-spoken, which was very unpleasant.
Now that the fourth prince would take the initiative to speak out, Emperor Yong was a little surprised.
"Well, let's hear it."
The fourth prince, like all sons in the world, has a special kind of admiration and admiration for his father.
But he knew very well that his father didn't like him at all, so he was always cautious in front of his father.
This time, his father personally found him an enlightened teacher. He was so happy that he would not rest until his wrists swelled and hurt from practicing calligraphy every day.
I don't know if my father saw his handwriting, but my mother and queen praised him, saying that the prince's brother could only write like this when he was six years old...
His thoughts gradually drifted away, and he was quickly brought back by the fourth prince.
He looked determined, Sister Qiao still needed to be protected by him today!
Chapter 55 You did a good job today
"Reporting to my father, after the prince's brother was led away by Di Zaiying, he entered the inner room and wanted to assassinate his ministers."
"As a result, he accidentally fell on the couch and the poisonous needle stuck into his own tiger's mouth."
"I don't know what kind of poison was soaked in the needle. Di Zaiying suddenly started going crazy and pricked himself randomly."
"My son was very scared at the time, and worried that Sister Qiao...Miss Qiao would be harmed, so he carried her and rolled off the bed. At this time, Di Zaiying realized what he was doing and started chasing after us."
"Fortunately, the prince's brother arrived in time, so my son and Miss Qiao's family were safe and sound."
"Father, this is the whole story of today's assassination in the upper study. I also ask my father to eradicate the thieves and protect the peace in the palace."
As soon as the fourth prince finished speaking, Di Zaiying's eyes widened in disbelief.
He taught the fourth prince for more than a month and knew that he was talented and intelligent, far beyond ordinary people, but he never expected that he could tell such a lie!
"Nonsense, you, a four-year-old kid, are telling lies! Who taught you to say this, the prince or Qiao Zhongguo!"
Qiao Jiaojiao also didn't expect that the fourth prince would be willing to help her like this.
What shocked Qiao Jiaojiao the most was that she had been with the fourth prince from the beginning of the assassination to now. No one taught him these words, he came up with them all by himself!
[Go ahead, I can't call you stupid anymore, you are so smart! When I was four years old, I was still in Aba Aba, and you were already able to talk to Northerners! You are awesome! 】
Qiao Zhongguo heard that the fourth prince was helping Jiaojiao lie!
"The facts are before me, I have seen them with my own eyes. No one taught me, and I don't need to be taught!"
The fourth prince looked extremely determined, and his words sounded particularly credible.
When Di Zaiying heard this, his expression suddenly became ferocious.
"The dog emperor's seed is indeed not a good thing! I should get rid of yours sooner rather than wait until the Dragon Boat Festival!"
"That needle was originally going to prick you hard, but it was a pity that it was replaced by that monster from the Qiao family!"
When the prince heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
So Di Zaiying originally planned to attack Xiao Si during the Dragon Boat Festival?
It was Xiaosi's birthday that day, and Di Zaiying was simply trying to kill him and his mother!
His heart can be killed!
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she was suddenly stunned.
[Wait a minute, if I had not shown up today, Di Zaiying would have used poisonous needles on the fourth prince on the Dragon Boat Festival, but the fourth prince obviously drowned. 】
[I originally thought that if Di Zaiying was found out today, the Dragon Boat Festival deadlock for the fourth prince would naturally be over. 】
[Now it seems that there is someone else who killed the fourth prince? Someone is rushing ahead of Di Zaiying to get rid of the fourth prince first? 】
Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help feeling frightened. She suddenly felt that the palace was really full of evil spirits and pitfalls everywhere!
When Qiao Tianjing and the others heard this guess, their scalps went numb!
If the real culprit is not found, the young fourth prince will be doomed to die young if he is defenseless in the palace!
"Father, this traitor has been lurking in our Yong Dynasty for more than ten years. He can endure what ordinary people cannot tolerate. He is so skillful in using palace people and luring away guards today, which shows that his intentions are very big."
"Please also ask my father to hand over this traitor to my son, who will investigate thoroughly to the end!"
The prince could not tolerate anyone hurting the fourth prince.
This Di Zaiying was found by his father. Even if his father didn't know people well, he couldn't say a word.
But he must remove all the cancer hidden in the palace and protect Xiao Si from growing up safely!
Emperor Yong's expression moved slightly, but he did not agree immediately.
When Qiao Jiaojiao saw this, she couldn't help but curse angrily.
[How could this dog emperor agree? He was afraid that the prince would find out the second prince's minions in the palace! 】
Sure enough, just as Qiao Jiaojiao's voice fell, Emperor Yong had already spoken solemnly: "This matter is of great importance, I will come to investigate in person!"
The prince couldn't help but clenched his hands when he heard this, and finally bowed and said, "Yes."
Qiao Jiaojiao sighed secretly when she saw this.
[The prince must be feeling very sad too. 】
[Before Princess Yuliu entered the palace, the relationship between the emperor and the queen was okay. As the eldest son, the prince was also loved by the emperor for a period of time. 】
[The prince is so smart, wouldn't he be completely unaware of this disparity in treatment? Is he really not at all wary of the second prince? 】
【Ah ah ah! No, it will take a lot of brains to think about it any more! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao scratched her head. This trip to the palace was very tiring. She never wanted to come again!
Emperor Yong ordered people to take Di Zaiying into custody, and comforted Qiao Zhongguo a few words, to the effect that Di Zaiying was talking nonsense. If you love me, you don't have to worry about it. I will always be with you.
Qiao Jiaojiao hummed in her heart.
[Emperor Dog, fart on you! After a while, it's time to call out to Princess Yuliu's portrait again! 】
Qiao family: "..."
I almost failed in front of the emperor!
"Zhan'er, you send Qiao Aiqing off." Emperor Yong said to the prince.
The prince nodded respectfully.
Even if the father didn't say it, he would still give it away.
It was originally promised that Mr. Qiao would give an explanation, but now that the matter has been handed over to the father, the father has the final say in everything.
The fourth prince followed the prince out of the door, and he looked back at Emperor Yong with some nostalgia.
But Emperor Yong had already turned around and was looking at the empty wall beside him in a daze.
Qiao Jiaojiao knew that the portrait of Princess Yuliu was behind the hidden grid on that wall!
The fourth prince couldn't help but feel sad when he saw this, and slowly looked away.
At this moment, his eyes accidentally touched a paper basket in the corner.
The basket was already full, and occasionally one or two pieces of paper fell out. The handwriting on it looked so tender and green.
The fourth prince was suddenly stung by this scene and his eyes were sore.
Before sending the homework to his father for review, he carefully arranged it in order. Now a pile of it is scattered there, and it looks like the order has not changed...
"Xiaosi?"
When the prince saw the fourth prince suddenly stopping, he couldn't help but turn around in confusion.
The fourth prince blinked and suppressed the wetness in his eyes.
He should never expect anything extravagant, it is enough for him to have his queen mother and brother!
"Brother, I want to hug you too!"
The fourth prince caught up with him in a few steps and pinched the prince's sleeve like a baby.
When the prince heard this, he thought that the fourth prince was tired from standing, so he bent over lovingly and held him in his arms.
"Are you going back to see your mother first?"
The fourth prince shook his head, "I want to send Sister Qiao off with my brother!"
"Okay, let's go together then! Don't worry, Xiaosi, you did a good job today."
The fourth prince suddenly raised his head when he heard this, and saw the prince looking at him tenderly, as if everything was understood.
The fourth prince's heart skipped a beat, his brother knew he had lied!
Does that brother also see that Sister Qiao is special?
The fourth prince was about to explain that he was not a bad boy who lied, but Qiao Tianjing came over with Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms.
The fourth prince immediately shut up.
Qiao Tianjing's expression was slightly solemn, and he lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, I have something important to report."
Chapter 56: Your heart is cold
When the prince saw Qiao Tianjing's serious expression, his heart immediately lifted.
He pressed his right hand calmly, Qiao Tianjing nodded clearly, and turned to talk about insignificant things.
The two of them walked out for a long time. Eunuch Huang watched respectfully at the door. When he saw that no one was in sight, he turned and returned to the imperial study.
Seeing that the Holy Emperor was looking at the portrait of Princess Yuliu again, Eunuch Huang couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Majesty, everyone is gone."
"Um."
Emperor Yong sat on his seat and nodded indifferently.
When Eunuch Huang saw this, he stopped talking.
He just saw that the fourth prince seemed to have noticed the paper basket in the corner. It was the calligraphy practice post sent yesterday afternoon. It looked like he had put some thought into it.
In fact, sometimes even Eunuch Huang, who knew Emperor Yong best, couldn't understand why Emperor Yong was so obsessed with Princess Yuliu.
She is indeed a rare beauty in the world, with ice muscles and jade bones, like a goddess.
But she was very indifferent to the Holy Father, and it seemed that her heart was not here.
But the Holy One just used his heart and lost his soul. More than ten years later, he still can't let go. He even treats the Queen, the Prince and the Fourth Prince very indifferently because of this.
"What have you been busy with lately?" Emperor Yong's voice sounded faintly.
Eunuch Huang was thinking a little too deeply and was startled by the deep voice. Fortunately, Emperor Yong was all focused on the portrait and did not notice his misconduct.
"Going back to your Majesty, the second prince seems to have become more and more quiet after the Lantern Festival. He has met Mr. Sheng Lang of the Duke of Qing's Mansion these days."
Emperor Yong finally turned his face slightly.
"Sheng Mingcheng? That's just a playboy. The second child should look down on him."
Eunuch Huang immediately flattered him, "Yes, I look at the second prince with high eyes, so Sheng Mingcheng can't catch the second prince's eyes."
Emperor Yong snorted obediently, and then said: "If there is anything interesting happening in the capital recently, please tell Yu Liu."
Eunuch Huang has long been accustomed to this.
The Holy Sage often treated the portrait of Empress Yuliu as if she were a living person. He was worried that the empress would be bored, and always asked him to inquire about some interesting things.
Eunuch Huang searched his mind and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Go back to your Majesty, back to your empress, there is really an interesting story."
"This year's Capital Poetry Festival produced a talented girl. She is the ten-year-old daughter of Shilang Meng's family. Her name is Meng Guxue."
Emperor Yong raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh, talented girl? He Shinian is here."
Eunuch Huang immediately read out the poem written by Meng Guxue with great emotion and emotion.
Emperor Yong tasted it carefully and nodded, "It is much better than those sour and rotten poems, but where did the Xiongnu and Wuding River come from?"
Eunuch Huang hurriedly recounted what happened at the poetry meeting. Hearing that the prince had made a conclusion, Emperor Yong no longer cared.
"Shilang Meng's daughter is really good at poetry. As a favor to the Dragon Boat Festival Palace banquet, let his daughter come too."
Officials have different grades, and there are certain numbers of people who can go to palace banquets.
The minister is of the fourth rank and can only have one female dependent, usually his wife.
Eunuch Huang hurriedly agreed and wrote it down secretly.
Emperor Yong was silent for a while and then asked: "Has Chun Wei Yijia's article been submitted?"
Eunuch Huang immediately took out a few posts from the case and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I submitted them early in the morning, and they are here."
Emperor Yong lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Let the prince come and have a look tomorrow morning."
The prince saw that Yijia's article was reasonable, and Eunuch Huang hurriedly bowed in response.
But Emperor Yong quickly added, "Make a copy and send it to the second brother."
Eunuch Huang's face showed a little surprise, this was a bit out of line, but he did not dare to say anything and only dared to accept the order.
After making these arrangements, Emperor Yong waved his hand and said, "Go out. No one can come in without my instructions."
Eunuch Huang knew that the Holy One was going to be alone with Princess Yuliu again.
Before he exited, he specifically asked for instructions, "Your Majesty, how should we deal with Di Zaiying today?"
Emperor Yong waved his hand impatiently, "Check, pull out all the eyeliner that should be pulled out, and then check his true identity."
Huang Eunuch said yes, bowed and slowly backed out. Just as he was about to close the palace door, Emperor Yong's deep voice suddenly came over.
"Huang Pei, don't touch anyone who shouldn't be touched, and don't let the prince interfere."
When Huang Pei heard this, his shoulders trembled slightly and he nodded respectfully.
The moment the palace door closed, Eunuch Huang slowly breathed out a sigh of relief.
He naturally knew who the "people who should not be touched" the Holy One mentioned were the spies that the Holy One had connived with the second prince to plant in various palaces over the years.
Nowadays, the prince's virtuous character is admired by everyone, but the Holy Emperor dotes on and favors the second prince so much. From now on... what should we do?
There was a hint of fear on Eunuch Huang's face, but he quickly suppressed it.
Only by pretending to be deaf and dumb can you live longer when you are around the Holy One.
————
When the prince saw that Qiao Tianjing had something serious to do, he took a detour and sent the fourth prince back first.
Before leaving, the fourth prince looked at Qiao Jiaojiao reluctantly.
"Have I not seen Sister Qiao for a long time again?" the fourth prince said aggrievedly.
Qiao Jiaojiao was very grateful to the fourth prince for covering up the rebound talisman for her, and it was rare that she didn't say anything bad about the fourth prince.
[You kid, live a good life, there will be many opportunities to meet you in the future. 】
When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he thought of Qiao Jiaojiao's previous speculation and said with a serious face: "Your Highness, the fourth prince is young, so he should be protected more."
The prince nodded solemnly, "Da Lang's words are right, and I know it well."
The fourth prince took hold of Qiao's delicate little hand, which was soft and soft.
He suddenly laughed and said: "Last time, the prince brother said that he could not hold my sister until my Dragon Boat Festival birthday."
"I tried it today, and it turned out to be difficult. I want to eat well and grow taller. Then I can be like the Qiao family's elder brother and easily pick up Sister Qiao!"
His words were full of childlike innocence, which took away some of the gloom on the faces of the prince and Qiao Tianjing.
Qiao Jiaojiao glanced at him sideways.
[Fool, you will grow up and I will grow up, but you still won't be able to hold me. 】
The Fourth Prince said goodbye to Qiao Jiaojiao seriously, "Sister Qiao, let's see you at the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet."
Qiao Jiaojiao barked at him twice, taking it as an agreement.
[I know, I know, he's such a little talker. 】
The prince personally sent the fourth prince back and led Qiao Dalang out.
The palace road was extremely empty, and there were no ears or eyes on either side.
Seeing this, Qiao Tianjing lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, I have something serious to report one day."
The prince looked solemn and said, "Here comes the great man."
Qiao Tianjing followed the words discussed with his father at home and spoke cautiously:
"Your Highness, do you remember the Zhuozhou student who came on stage to confront me on the night of the Lantern Festival?"
Chapter 57: The Tool Man is real!
The prince pondered for a moment, then nodded, "I remember his surname is Tan."
Qiao Tianjing's eyes lit up, it would be great if the prince still remembered.
"By chance, my second brother and I encountered him being verbally humiliated by Sheng Langjun of the Qingguo Palace. My second brother stood up for him when there was injustice, so we formed a friendship with Tan Hanchi."
"Last night, Tan Hanchi was chased to the back alley of the inn. He escaped by chance and was rescued back to the house by his second brother."
"Your Highness, I have made friends with him and found that he is not only talented in literature, but also has a heart of wisdom. Now he is being hunted in the capital for no reason, and... he is not listed on the list."
The words were extremely cryptic, but the prince frowned suddenly and instantly understood the implication of Qiao Tianjing's words.
But even the prince couldn't believe that something was wrong with Chunwei.
"Is it possible that Tan Hanchi is performing abnormally?"
Qiao Tianjing shook his head and pointed to his sleeve secretly.
"Your Highness, my father asked Tan Hanchi to silence the article written by Chun Wei. I have read it. It is better than what I wrote by Chun Wei back then."
Hearing Qiao Tianjing's confident words, the prince's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
You must know that Qiao Tianjing was a first-class man back then, and he was the crown prince appointed by his father in the palace!
The prince's expression was solemn, "Dalang, please give Jiaojiao to me."
Qiao Tian understood it carefully, and when sending Qiao Jiaojiao over, he also pressed the article written by Tan Hanchi in his sleeve under Qiao Jiaojiao's buttocks.
Qiao Jiaojiao: "..."
[I am a real tool man! 】
[But I'm honored. You can play as much as you want, I'll blind you! 】
The prince calmly put away the article and weighed Qiao Jiaojiao with a smile.
There is the palace gate in front, so it would be a bit exaggerated to send it off again.
Qiao Tianjing took Qiao Jiaojiao back and said with sincerity and admiration: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust."
In fact, the Qiao family took a big risk by doing this.
After all, Chunwei was of great importance, and the Qiao family suddenly intervened. If Emperor Yong was suspicious, he would definitely doubt the Qiao family's intentions.
The prince raised his eyebrows and smiled cheerfully.
"Da Lang, the word Qiao family here in this palace is synonymous with loyalty."
The prince's words can be regarded as the greatest trust.
Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but her eyes lit up when she heard this.
【Look! What a wonderful prince! Keep him! No matter what, let the prince sit on the throne! 】
Qiao Tianjing bowed slightly, feeling grateful in his heart.
Those who are ministers to others are most fortunate to have a wise king.
"In this way, my father and I wait quietly for the prince's voice."
After returning to Qiao's house, Qiao Jiaojiao was stripped naked by Mrs. Qiao. After looking up and down and left and right for eight hundred times, she didn't see any pinholes. The whole family was completely relieved.
Qiao Jiao's eyebrows were flying and she was barking her teeth, telling how magical Gongde Mall was and how she heroically saved the fourth prince.
Although her family members don't understand, it doesn't stop her from singing.
The Qiao family looked at each other. They were obviously shocked, but they pretended not to understand. The whole family tried their best to control their expressions.
In the afternoon, a decree issued from the palace caused a slight shock in the Beijing circle.
It is said that the Holy Emperor personally gave permission to Miss Meng Guxue to attend the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet!
Meng Mansion.
Meng Shilang was still a little confused after receiving the order.
Meng Guxue fell seriously ill after returning from the Eastern Suburbs Poetry Club, and her face, which was as big as a palm, became thinner and thinner.
Madam Meng was angry that her daughter had sent away the maid, and was so stupid that she was plotted by the concubine of the Duke of Qing, so she detained her in the house and has never stepped out of the house until now.
But what surprised Mrs. Meng was that after this serious illness, her daughter seemed to be a different person again.
My temperament has calmed down, I don't make any noises, and I feel refreshed, so I sit up and practice calligraphy, and I see that I am doing well.
At this time, the decree reached the Meng Mansion, and Mrs. Meng went to Meng Guxue's boudoir happily.
When Meng Guxue learned that the emperor personally called her by name and asked her to attend the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet, the word "white" in her hands suddenly flickered.
The opportunity has finally come...
Meng Guxue slowly exhaled and crumpled the paper in her hand.
This time when she was seriously ill, she had an extremely realistic dream.
In the dream, she had everything going smoothly, and she fell in love with the second prince Shen Yuanbai. They joined forces to defeat the prince, destroy the Qiao family, trample all the trash under their feet, and finally reach the top of the world!
Meng Guxue knew that she must be the destined daughter of this world!
I just don't know why, but there is a deviation between reality and dreams in Qiao Mansion.
Originally, she was supposed to fall in love with the second prince at first sight in Qiao Mansion...
But it doesn't matter, she can never run away, and the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet is her best opportunity to capture the second prince!
"Mom, my daughter knows, I still want to practice calligraphy, please go out."
Meng Guxue said lightly, with a confident look on her face.
Mrs. Meng glanced at her daughter strangely. Seeing that she had already picked up a pen to write, she walked out the door quietly.
After Meng Guxue heard the door close, she suddenly raised her head, revealing a pair of ambitious eyes.
And under her hand, the snow-white rice paper was densely covered with three repeated words - Shen Yuanbai!
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
A cautious knock sounded outside the door.
"Miss, this is my slave Xiaotao. I bought you what you asked for."
Meng Guxue's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, she put down her pen and stood up and opened the door.
Xiaotao handed the two packages to Meng Guxue.
"Miss, these are the shells and plant ash you want."
Xiao Tao had no idea what her young lady wanted these two things for.
Meng Guxue opened the package and took a look, her eyes sparkling.
She majored in chemistry in college. In her dream, she used modern knowledge to help the second prince make a fortune, gaining his recognition and dependence.
With such an incredible advantage and golden finger, she almost ignored it!
Now reminded by the dream, she must make the soap as soon as possible to impress the second prince!
Just wait, the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet will be her turnaround for Meng Guxue!
————
On the other side, the Qingguo Duke's Mansion.
"Trash! Haven't you found it yet?"
Sheng Mingcheng was furious at his men.
Seeing that it was getting dark, more than a dozen people were dispatched, but not even a weak scholar was found!
Then can Tan Hanchi evaporate from the world?
"Search! Let me search again!"
"We will arrange people on the way from Beijing to Zhuozhou to look for them all the way! If we find them, shoot them and kill them!"
————
After court on the second day, the prince was summoned to the imperial study.
Emperor Yong pointed to the three posts on the case and said softly: "Zhan'er, this is an article from Spring Wei Yijia this year. Come and take a look."
The prince responded respectfully, sat down on the seat given by Emperor Yong and picked up the first article.
Before opening the post, the prince felt a little stunned.
After returning to the East Palace yesterday, he carefully read the article handed to him by the Qiao family's elder brother, and found every word in it to be eye-catching.
It is really unbelievable that such a talent and such an article would not be included in the list.
"Zhan'er, what's wrong?"
Seeing that the prince was rarely distracted, Emperor Yong tilted his head in confusion.
The prince woke up from a dream and immediately said with a smile: "I am very happy to think that many new talents will be recruited into the court to serve my father."
Emperor Yong nodded lightly when he heard this, and then said: "There is an article in Yijia this year that is particularly good. This is the copy in your hand. Take a closer look."
The prince immediately calmed down and opened the post.
As soon as his eyes fell on the first column of words, the prince's pupils suddenly shrank.
Exactly the same!
It was exactly the same as the article by Tan Hanchi he read last night!
But the candidate marked on the post is-Qingzhou Gu Junlin!
Chapter 58 Jiaojiao can still be a military advisor!
Qingzhou is located east of Kyoto and is one of the richest state capitals in the Yong Dynasty.
The Gu family has a surname from Qingzhou and made their fortune in fishing. It is said that the family has countless wealth and is as rich as the country!
"It's rare for a businessman from the Gu family to be able to teach such a knowledgeable and talented son."
Seeing that the prince was already reading, Emperor Yong made a meaningful comment.
The Yong Dynasty also had a standard class of scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants. Although the Gu family was rich, they still could not get on the stage. No wonder they wanted their children to obtain fame.
But the Gu family's wealth is so great that even though Gu Junlin has great literary talent and extraordinary knowledge, he cannot be praised too much.
This is full of calculations and checks and balances by the emperor, and the prince understands it all.
But the fear in his heart was too much at this time, and he had no intention of agreeing with Emperor Yong.
This...this is Chunwei!
There are people who really dare to use the trick of substituting one thing for another in Chunwei!
Emperor Yong just thought that the prince was too fascinated and didn't care.
At this time, he was even thinking, has the second child also read these articles? I don't know what he thinks.
The second child has been smart since he was a child and must have more unique insights.
The prince knew that raising questions hastily would not only harm the Qiao family, but would also arouse his father's suspicion, saying that he and the Qiao family were too close.
So he suppressed the turmoil in his heart and gave a few words of faint praise.
The time for the palace examination is set for the day after tomorrow, and the emperor will personally preside over the examination.
After the prince exited the imperial study, he returned to the East Palace calmly.
In the afternoon, the Queen sent someone to deliver a reward to Qiao's mansion. She said that Qiao Jiaojiao was frightened in the palace yesterday. The Queen felt sorry for Qiao Jiaojiao, so she sent some safety locks to express her comfort.
When Emperor Yong heard Eunuch Huang's report, he waved his hands indifferently, and there was even a hint of boredom in his brows.
"From now on, the queen doesn't have to report these trivial matters to me."
Eunuch Huang hurriedly said yes and sighed secretly.
He knew why the Holy One disliked the Empress, but Empress Yuliu committed suicide back then. In the final analysis, the Empress was not to blame...
Come on, as a slave, he just needs to obey his master.
The Queen's reward soon arrived at the Qiao Mansion, and Qiao Zhongguo led his whole family to thank him in person.
When Qiao Zhongguo stepped forward to accept the reward, the palace attendant calmly handed over a piece of paper and pressed it under the red plate.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Gong Renxu mouthed.
She is the Queen's absolute confidant.
Qiao Zhongguo's heart skipped a beat, and he took the red plate with a smile, "Thank you, Queen, for the reward. My little girl is fine. Please rest assured, Queen."
Having received the news from the palace people, he led a large group of people out of the palace and returned to the palace to answer his orders.
Qiao Zhong Guoping dismissed all his servants, opened the note and saw that it was written by the prince.
Qiao Jiaojiao was held in Mrs. Qiao's arms. When she saw this, she hurriedly moved toward Qiao Zhongguo.
【father! Think about what the prince wrote! I really want to know too! 】
The next moment Qiao Zhongguo spoke.
"The prince said that this morning he read three articles by Yijia. The most outstanding article was exactly the same as Tan Hanchi's, but now it was signed by Qingzhou Gu Junlin."
Qiao Jiaojiao was suddenly enlightened upon hearing this.
【Qingzhou Gu family! No wonder! No wonder the Gu family would be used by the second prince. How dare he have such a big deal in his hands! 】
[You must know that the Gu family is a very wealthy family. Their business is spread all over the Yong Dynasty. They have accumulated it since their ancestors, and they have a rich foundation. 】
[What kind of soaps, perfumes, and lipsticks does the heroine make later? She uses the Gu family's sales and connections to make money, and finally builds her own business empire. It's a great story about making a fortune in ancient times! 】
The Qiao family didn't understand what soap perfume was, but they could tell that the Gu family was crucial to the second prince's great cause.
"The prince also said that the palace examination is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. At that time, the Holy Father will personally preside over the examination and the prince will listen."
As soon as Qiao Zhongguo finished speaking, Qiao Tianjing frowned.
"Dad, we don't have much time left. Once the palace examination is settled, it will be extremely difficult for Brother Tan to get his ranking back!"
Qiao Jiaojiao followed and pondered, her face wrinkled into a small bitter gourd.
[Let me think about it, first of all, our Qiao family must not come forward, otherwise it will directly expose our family to the guns of the second prince, Duke Qing and the Minister of Rites. 】
[That dog emperor is not a good person either. If he becomes suspicious, he still needs to question his father's intentions. That's not possible! 】
[Prince...Prince is even worse. Don't advance his death date by then. 】
Qiao family: "..."
Although the explanation is not rough, these words are really rough, and it's a pity that only their family can hear it!
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes were dark.
[It seems that Tan Hanchi can only take the initiative himself! 】
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Qiao family's eyes lit up.
The next moment, they all shouted: "Dengwengu!"
【Dengwengu! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then clapped her hands in surprise.
[Mom, the whole family wants to go together! 】
[I saw my father and brother standing there with big eyes and small eyes, thinking that they were both worried, but it turned out that just like me, the CPU was running crazily! 】
Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing looked at each other, and the father and son smiled in unison.
But no, they were at a loss just now, but Jiaojiao turned around and offered them the solution.
Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts continued to diverge.
[Alas, when my father was wronged and sentenced to be beheaded at the Meridian Gate, it was the eldest and second brothers who went to beat the Dengwen drum outside the palace gate. 】
[But the dog emperor and the second prince were determined to put their father to death. In the end, the eldest and second brothers received thirty blows each, and then were perfunctorily sent back to Qiao Mansion. 】
In order to prevent someone from beating the Dengwen drum maliciously, there was a regulation at the founding of the Yong Dynasty.
Those who beat the drums of Dengwen will first receive thirty big boards. When the drums sound, the emperor will personally judge the grievances.
[I don't know if Tan Hanchi can stand these thirty big boards. 】
[Moreover, the Qingguo Duke's Mansion must be still frantically searching for Tan Hanchi. Not only must he ensure that he goes safely to the Dengwen Drum, but they must also protect him to prevent Qingguo Gong's people from taking the opportunity to do anything and beat Tan Hanchi to death. . 】
These considerations really touched the hearts of Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing, and the father and son also considered these issues.
Now that Qiao Zhongguo heard that he would be beheaded by the Meridian Gate, he was able to remain calm.
Isn't what their family is doing their best to change their destiny and subvert the established outcome?
At this time, Qiao Zhongguo couldn't help but marvel, Jiaojiao's quick thinking and intelligence were far beyond ordinary people.
Exposing Chunwei's fraud had never happened in her predictions, but she was able to think carefully and comprehensively in the fastest possible time.
This kid might even be able to become a military advisor in the future!
When Qiao Diyi brought Tan Hanchi over, Qiao Zhongguo fully analyzed the current situation to him and detailed the risks involved.
"Tan Hanchi, whether you beat the Dengwen drum or not is entirely up to you."
Qiao Zhongguo looked at Tan Hanchi calmly.
Upon seeing this, Tan Hanchi bowed deeply to Qiao Zhongguo, his expression extremely firm.
"General Qiao, no matter what happens, nothing is easy, but if you have the courage to do something, this junior is willing to beat the drum, no matter life or death!"
Chapter 59 He doesn't want to leave alive!
Early two days later, outside the palace gate, there was a sudden knock on the closed door of Denwen Drum Courtyard.
Bang bang bang——
Pedestrians passing by saw this scene and were so shocked that they stopped in their tracks.
That man...that man was crazy, he actually knocked on the door of Dengwen Drum Courtyard!
The young man who knocked on the door was tall and tall, wearing a moon-white robe that was elegant and elegant. At this time, his face was solemn. Seeing that no one answered the door, he knocked more urgently.
Soon, there was a circle of people watching the excitement on the street outside the courtyard gate.
Qiao Diyi dressed up in disguise, hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and hid in the crowd, inconspicuously.
Originally, the Qiao family would not let Qiao Jiaojiao come to see this kind of thing.
After all, Tan Hanchi was going to receive thirty beatings in front of the public. The scene was very tragic.
However, her heartbeat kept pounding for two days and two nights, and she opened her big round eyes early today.
Mrs. Qiao sighed secretly, knowing that she couldn't hold Qiao Jiaojiao and couldn't bear to let her down, so she finally let Qiao Diyi hold her.
As for Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing, they are currently in court!
The timing of beating the Dengwen drum was set by Qiao Zhongguo. He had to beat it in the morning so that he could participate in it and speak out for Tan Hanchi when necessary!
Bang bang bang——
After knocking for about half a quarter of an hour, the door of Denwen Drum Courtyard creaked open. The government official inside the door looked hasty and impatient.
No one has knocked on the door of the Dengwen Drum Courtyard for seven or eight years, and it is almost useless.
He played Pai Gow with others last night and finally fell asleep, but he was suddenly woken up by someone with no eyesight.
"Who is it? Why are you shooting at the door so early in the morning?"
"I am Tan Hanchi, a member of the Judiciary Committee of Zhuozhou. I have been wronged and I am here to beat the drum!"
Tan Hanchi's sonorous voice shocked the sleepy yamen servant.
When he raised his eyes, he noticed the crowd of people outside the courtyard gate and was immediately startled.
At this time, he regained his composure, looked at Tan Hanchi, and asked in a deep voice, "What did you say you were doing here?"
Tan Hanchi repeated unambiguously: "I'll beat the drum!"
As soon as these words came out, not only the yamen servant, but also the crowd of people watching gave out low exclamations.
"Did you know that those who beat the drum of Dengwen will have to suffer thirty big bans first!" The yamen officer tried to persuade Tan Hanchi to retreat.
Tan Hanchi's expression remained unchanged, "I'm willing to accept it."
The officer's face changed severely, "Is it life or death?"
Tan Hanchi nodded, "No matter life or death!"
The yamen servant took a deep breath and finally opened the door to Denwen Drum Courtyard completely.
"So, come in."
Tan Hanchi strode into the courtyard, and Qiao Jiaojiao saw clearly that a big drum that neither of them could hug was placed in the middle of the courtyard, standing there quietly.
The yamen servant here has already gone to call for someone. The stick is thirty, and four people need to work together to execute it.
The news that someone was going to beat the drum quickly spread, and more and more people came to watch the excitement.
At this time, a boy in the crowd looked here, then his expression changed drastically, he pushed aside the crowd and ran away.
The Duke of Qing enjoys heaven's grace and honor, and the Duke's mansion is not far from the palace.
The boy rolled and crawled back to the house, his lips turning white with fear.
Sheng Mingcheng was worried all night last night, and finally Tongfang Lian'er came over to comfort him with a cup of health soup.
He was feeling depressed, so he dragged Lian'er to the bed and lay there for an hour. Now he was fast asleep.
"Lang Jun! Lang Jun is not good!"
The boy didn't care about anything and banged Sheng Mingcheng's door.
Lian'er was woken up and scolded at the door: "I'm going to die! Who is disturbing Lang Jun's dream!"
The boy was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and shouted: "Lang Jun, Tan Hanchi has been found!"
When Sheng Mingcheng heard this, he suddenly became excited and all the sleepy people ran away.
"Come in quickly! Where is the person?" Sheng Mingcheng asked quickly.
The boy pushed open the door and left. Lian'er was so frightened that she let out a low cry and quickly wrapped herself in the quilt.
"Lang Jun, something bad has happened! Then Tan Hanchi went to beat the drum!"
"What!"
Sheng Mingcheng's hand that was still putting on clothes suddenly stopped, and the next moment he was so frightened that his face turned pale!
"Where's grandpa! Does the Duke know about it?"
The boy had a sad face and said, "There's a big fuss over there in the Drum Courtyard! As soon as I saw Tan Hanchi's face, I hurried back to report the news. The Duke..."
Before the boy finished speaking, there was a loud shout from the door of the courtyard. It was the voice of Qing Guo Gong Sheng Qishan.
"Tell that worthless boy to get out!"
Sheng Mingcheng's hands and feet were all weak. He put on a coat and stumbled out of the room when he was slapped to the ground by a powerful slap.
Snapped--
Sheng Mingcheng was dizzy from the slap, but he still forced himself to kneel up, grabbed the feet of the person in front of him, and begged:
"Grandpa, calm down! Grandpa, calm down!"
"Calm down?"
Sheng Qishan stood condescendingly, his face so gloomy that it could almost drip with water.
"Idiot! Why are there so many idiots in our Qingguo Palace! Didn't you say that Tan Hanchi has been eliminated? Why are people appearing in Dengwen Drum Courtyard now!"
"I shouldn't believe you, a father and son who can't hold up the wall with mud!"
"Did you know that just because of your stupidity, our Qingguo Palace will probably be destroyed today!"
Sheng Mingcheng was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled.
He...he didn't expect that the matter would be such a big deal. That Tan Hanchi was a powerless Juren, and he thought he would be found soon!
How did he know that Tan Hanchi not only escaped pursuit, but also had the audacity to beat the Dengwen drum!
correct! Dengwengu!
Thinking of this, Sheng Mingcheng hugged Duke Qing's legs tightly, knelt and raised his head, and said eagerly:
"Grandpa, if you beat the Dengwen drum, you will have to suffer thirty blows first. We can let him die under the Dengwen drum. In this way, he will not be able to complain before the Holy One!"
Qing Guogong kicked Sheng Mingcheng hard and said in a cold voice: "Do I still need you to remind me?"
As soon as he got the message, he immediately sent reliable people.
"If you can kill Tan Hanchi under the drum of Dengwen this time, you still have a way to redeem your merits. If Tan Hanchi is allowed to see the Holy Lord, the Qingguo Duke's palace will be destroyed in your hands!"
After Duke Qing finished speaking, he mentioned Sheng Mingcheng and threw it to the ground. When he saw Lian'er on the bed, he became even more angry.
"She is hopeless! Drag her out and kill her with a cane!"
Lian'er screamed when she heard this, was so frightened that she fainted on the bed as soon as she rolled her eyes.
Sheng Mingcheng knelt on the ground with a look of fear on his face. Hearing that the maid who had indulged in sex with him last night was executed, he didn't dare to let out a fart.
Seeing Qing Guo Gong leaving in a hurry, Sheng Mingcheng hurriedly picked up the clothes on the ground, put them on and hurried out.
Tan Hanchi, damn Tan Hanchi!
He couldn't even think of leaving Denwen Drum Garden alive!
Chapter 60 I will definitely save your life!
In the Denwen Drum Courtyard, four government officials had already taken up their positions.
There is a bench placed in front of the Denwen Drum. A yamen servant is carefully inspecting the bench. There is a yamen servant on the left and right holding a thick board. The yamen servant who just opened the door is responsible for counting the boards.
"Tan Juzi, let me ask you one last time, do you have any regrets?"
Without saying a word, Tan Hanchi took off his outer robe, leaned down on the bench resolutely, and grasped the legs of the bench with both hands.
"let's start."
When everyone saw Tan Hanchi being so calm and fearless, they couldn't help but feel admiration and fear at the same time.
Thirty blows will kill someone!
The yamen servant shook his head, leaned over Tan Hanchi and groped around to make sure there was no obstruction, then raised his hand and waved:
"Today, Tan Hanchi, a scholar from Zhuozhou, wants to beat the Dengwen drum. According to the laws of the Great Yong Dynasty, those who beat the Dengwen drum must have thirty sticks, and their life and death will be determined by their fate!"
"Hold the stick, rise and fall!"
Snapped!
An extremely dull slapping sound sounded, shocking everyone's hearts.
Everyone's faces were full of fear, but they saw Tan Hanchi biting a piece of white cloth and didn't even make a sound.
Qiao Jiaojiao's whole body jumped, and she suddenly couldn't bear it.
[It's so miserable, Tan Hanchi is so miserable. 】
Bang bang bang——
After several boards came down, Tan Hanchi saw blood on his buttocks, and it spread on his snow-white pants, which was shocking.
Qiao Diyi clenched his hands tightly, really afraid that Tan Hanchi wouldn't be able to survive.
After fifteen consecutive strokes, the government officials stopped.
By this time, Tan Hanchi was pale and sweating profusely.
The yamen servant who was counting the boards knelt down, approached Tan Hanchi, who was breathing heavily, and asked with an unbearable expression:
"Tan Juzi, this is the last chance. If you say stop, you will give up."
"The fifteen sticks in the back are not as comfortable as the ones in front."
This yamen officer is really kind-hearted.
After all, it must have taken ten years of hard study to be able to pass the examination.
If you wait a little longer, you may be able to become a Jinshi or even an official in the next spring.
Tan Hanchi was grateful, but his determination was firm and could no longer be shaken.
"continue......."
Tan Hanchi bit the white cloth and said vaguely.
The yamen servant sighed softly and was about to wave when two people suddenly ran out from the back hall.
"Brother Mu, let's replace him! After playing fifteen boards, their hands are also sore."
It turns out that the yamen servant who counted the boards was named Mu.
He frowned slightly, "Aren't you two taking turns today?"
The two of them were used to cheating and cheating, but there were never times when they were so active.
The two people looked at each other and said, "Didn't I hear that someone was going to beat the drum and came here in a hurry?"
"Change people, change people. If you can't wait for one in the past seven or eight years, let's give it a try."
As he said that, he couldn't wait to grab the board.
When Qiao Jiaojiao saw this, her heart suddenly thought!
[These two people were definitely bribed by Duke Qing to put Tan Hanchi to death! 】
She looked around eagerly, and suddenly she saw Sheng Mingcheng, who had squeezed to the front.
He was seen clenching his hands tightly in front of him, with a ferocious expression on his face, staring at Tan Hanchi closely.
[Sheng Mingcheng is here too! This little bitch looks ill-intentioned! 】
Qiao Diyi patted Qiao Jiaojiao comfortingly and gestured to the crowd, and soon a strong voice rang out.
"Why are you so willing to change someone when you're playing the game?"
"What's the matter? The old man can't even swing thirty boards?"
"After all, I am a public servant. If you don't have the ability, give up your position as soon as possible! I have a lot of strength, I can even swing a hundred boards!"
"That's right! Didn't you see that the move was already in unbearable pain? Are you still stalling for time here, not deliberately trying to drag someone to death?"
"He had a grievance and was forced to have no other choice before he thought of beating the drum. Now that the drum has not been beaten yet, he wants to torture him to death!"
"That's right! Then isn't this Dengwen Drum useless in name only?"
Several people coaxed together, and the crowd that originally sympathized with the weak instantly became excited.
"Don't change people, keep going!"
"To redress grievances, we, the common people, cannot be left with no place to redress!"
"It's too much, I can barely hold on to that move!"
Seeing that public opinion was boiling, Mu Yamen's expression suddenly changed.
"You two, stop making trouble and arousing public anger. Can you bear this responsibility?"
"Quick, keep going!"
The wooden yamen officer made a quick decision, and the two men holding boards also stretched out their hands to push the person away.
"Get out of the way, who said we have no strength? If we continue to make trouble, our jobs will not be saved!"
The two people who suddenly intervened looked embarrassed. Seeing that there was nothing they could do, they didn't dare to do anything too obvious, so they could only retreat to the side with expressions of reluctance.
When Sheng Mingcheng saw this, he beat his hands hard and secretly cursed "trash!"
Cold sweat dripped on his forehead, but he was still comforting himself secretly:
It doesn't matter, if you miss this level, you will have plenty of opportunities to kill him when you bring him into the palace later!
Seeing the board continue to fall, Qiao Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief.
This move to arouse public outrage was the second brother's idea. He has a simple mind, but he can see the essence of the matter clearly.
The common people just sympathize with the weak. No matter what their schemes are, they are all scum in front of the people's hearts. Even the Holy One cannot ignore the people's will!
Several boards were knocked down in succession, and the sound became sticky, like beating meat.
The white cloth in Tan Hanchi's mouth was soaked in blood, which showed that he had suffered internal injuries.
Qiao Jiaojiao's scalp was numb, and when she saw the blood dripping under the stool, she immediately turned her head.
[Tan Hanchi, if you persist a little longer, I have 60 merits left, and I will definitely save your life! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao did not hesitate to call out her Merit Mall, scrolled through it, and clicked on it——
[Restore the talisman to the original state, which can heal all injuries. The person who is struck by the talisman will be alive and kicking in an instant. The required merit points are: 120. 】
Qiao Jiaojiao's expression was twisted.
[I'll wipe it, it's so expensive...Forget it, swipe up to take a look. 】
[Hmm... This one is okay. It is a healing talisman for injured muscles and bones. It is specially designed to cure bruises and injuries caused by jumping off a cliff and hitting a board. Those who hit the talisman can have their muscles and bones intact. It requires 60 merit points. 】
[It's done, that's it! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao is not stingy. Although her merit points have been cleared, in exchange for a great talent like Tan Hanchi, she can defeat Duke Qing, which is a profit!
Qiao Diyi listened attentively with his ears stunned, and his eyes lit up when he heard something about the "Healing Talisman for Injured Muscles and Bones".
In that compartment, the thirty boards were finally finished. Tan Hanchi had already vomited out the white cloth in his mouth, and there was a pool of bright blood on the ground, which was shocking to see.
He was slumped on the bench, looking like he was dying.
Seeing this scene, the wooden yamen servant shook his head helplessly, knelt down and said, "Tan Juren, we have finished playing thirty games."
After finishing these thirty chapters, I'm afraid I won't even have the strength to swing the drumstick in this book.
Tan Hanchi responded softly and raised his head with difficulty. This small movement hurt so much that his whole body seemed to be torn apart.
Tan Hanchi raised the corners of his mouth bitterly, and what he was thinking at this time was:
General Qiao is right, my body is indeed too useless.
At this moment, the wooden yamen servant shouted softly: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Tan Hanchi raised his head with difficulty and saw a young man wearing a draped hat walking over, holding a baby in his hand, also hidden in the wide hat.
"Master, we are Tan Juren's younger brothers and sisters. Let's go up and see him. He has endured thirty strokes. Isn't it enough for me to feed him saliva?"
When Tan Hanchi heard this, his eye sockets were slightly sore and he almost shed tears.
It's Qiao Erlang here.
"Yes... these are my younger brothers and sisters, let them come..."
