The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 172: Seventh Brother is So Insidious (Part 2)

While Xiao Rui was leisurely drinking tea under the Pudu Temple, there was an undercurrent in the capital, which was extremely uneasy, because the rumors about the killing star and the disaster star became more and more serious, and the more they spread, the more true they became!

Because not long after the Seventh Prince left Beijing, Emperor Xia's fever unexpectedly healed on its own!

God is not miraculous, meaning is not unexpected!

Doesn't this coincide with Qin Tianjian Jianzheng's conjecture, proving that Xian Wang Xiao Rui is the disaster star!

Not only that, rumors began to spread, would the disaster star only cause His Majesty to get sick? You must know that your majesty is the king of a country, and he is the first to suffer from illness.

Next, the national sports swing...

bad weather…

Famine is everywhere...

starved to death

Seven Kingdoms War

Rumors go as far as thought goes. Never underestimate human speculation.

Of course, it was because someone was secretly fueling the flames.

For example, Xiao Yiheng, the King of Chu, laughed all day long. He seemed to see Xiao Rui's expression of shock, panic, and even disbelief when he returned to Beijing. The illness was cured after he left, how can you argue?

At that time, if you don't need yourself, others will be able to scold him to death with spit. In order to quell the rumors, His Majesty must send him out of the capital to reassure the people.

So this plan, Xiao Yiheng thinks he has won it all.

After recovering from the fever, Emperor Xia returned to the early court, but faced with the civil and military impeachments of the Manchu court, he remained silent all the time. Outsiders saw that he couldn't bear to deal with Xiao Rui and was hesitating.

But in fact Xiahuang was thinking about other things, and the spies of Dongchang reported urgently this morning that the woman finally met King Xian.

He knew that it was a matter of time, so he never stopped it.

"Whoever is going to come will come eventually, it depends on how you decide." Emperor Xia chuckled lightly, looking forward to it in his heart.

...

Xiao Rui didn't care about the situation in the capital, he was still in Pudu Temple.

After separating from Zhang Yizhi, Xiao Rui temporarily kept the secret of investigating the identity of his enemy in his heart. He found an inn at the foot of the mountain and waited for that woman.

It's a pity that there was nothing to say all night, but in the early morning of the second day, the clerk of the inn delivered a package and handed it to Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui opened the package, and saw that there were many poison paper packets, a thin ancient book, and a letter in addition.

Opening the envelope, I saw the letter read:

"Little guy, don't wait for me, I won't see you."

"You killed Zen Master Jingxiu. I will keep my promise and give you the poison and the method of making it. You can give the method of making it to your confidant in the capital. That old doctor has superb medical skills. If he can study the method of poison It is bound to be handy, and once you master it, you will be able to catch up with the top poison masters, which is also a great help for you."

"However, poison is just a way to protect yourself, and your own martial arts cultivation is the way to go. You are now entering the second rank, and hope to continue to work hard, because the enemies you have to face are beyond your imagination."

"I know you are guessing my identity, let me tell you, I am your aunt, my name is Ye Qianying, and your mother is my own sister."

"You don't need to pursue the secrets of your mother and the Ye family, because you can't find them out. You have a father who is as smart as a monster in martial arts and martial arts. You can't find out much about the things he concealed with your current methods. Others There is no need to investigate the accomplices, because you will not be able to find out either. Emperor Xia was merciful and forgave those people, but I will not forgive them. One day, those people will pay for their mistakes, and you will do it yourself! "

"You are too weak. When you grow to a high level in the future, I will confess everything. Even, Emperor Xia will tell you in advance!"

"Work hard, let your father see your growth and advantages, defeat other princes, and you must get the crown prince! Otherwise, you will never know the truth!"

"Besides, if you want to become a prince, the difficulty is several times that of other princes. You must be good enough to inherit the great rule! Because even if Emperor Xia appreciates you, when you know the truth and you don't have enough ability, he will I dare not hand over the throne to you!"

"Come on!"

"In the future, I will come to you again!"

"Not only me, your uncle, your grandfather, they miss you very much."

"I know you are cautious, you will doubt my words! Keep this doubt in your heart, don't trust anyone, only trust yourself."

"Ye Qianying."

Xiao Rui let out a foul breath and put down the letter.

Ye Qianying asked Xiao Rui to call her "Aunt Ying", and Xiao Rui became suspicious, but as the letter said, he could not believe that this woman was his aunt just based on a few words in a letter.

What if it was a trap set by the enemy?

"Only believe in yourself!"

That's right, this sentence hit the point, Xiao Rui is no longer a fledgling yellow-haired kid! He has changed his thoughts and habits as a time traveler, and he has gotten used to his identity and position!

In addition to being a bit funny in thinking, other behaviors and habits began to change towards a person in power.

After burning the letter on the fire, Xiao Rui's emotions finally cleared up.

"Battle, prepare a boat, let's go to Danyang Lake!" Xiao Rui said.

Wu Zhanfa responded and went to make arrangements immediately.

In winter, the beach of Danyang Lake is exposed, where a large number of reeds and aquatic plants grow. At the same time, the stone road built is also exposed from the water, extending from the shore, crossing the beach, and entering the lake directly.

This is a stone road built by fishermen living in Danyang Lake to facilitate fishing in the lake in winter.

Wu Zhanfa rented a slightly larger shed boat, which was supported by a fisherman. The three of them sat in the boat drinking and chatting, wandering around the vast Danyang Lake in the cold wind.

The lake is connected with vitality, the storm is unstoppable, the water color is proud and bright, and the river is beautiful.

Since ancient times, literati and inkmen have left poems here, lamenting the beauty of Danyang Lake.

It's a pity that we should bring Zhang Yizhi and let him play the flute on the bow of the boat in the cold wind, and he can also imitate Su Shi's great master: "There are some players who play the flute, and they lean on the song to make peace with them. It is like weeping like complaining; the lingering sound is lingering, endless like a thread. The latent dragon dancing in the secluded ravine, the weeping woman in a lonely boat."

There is no music to accompany, but there is no lack of food.

The three of them sat on the boat, and on the table in front of them was a boiling casserole, steaming, and there were also special foods of Danyang Lake on the table, such as crabs, mussels, clams, wild rice, water chestnut, Gorgon fruit, lotus root, water shield, etc. Serving food and drinking wine, the cold wind blows the boat curtains against the boat shed, the situation is quite pleasant.

Satisfied with wine and food, slightly drunk, Xiao Rui was wrapped in a coat and leaned on the boat, and fell asleep unknowingly, when he woke up, it was already dark night, the bright moon hung high in the sky, hovering between the bullfights, the moon and stars were sparse, Under the reflection of the moonlight, the lake water ripples like a pool of silver paste, white dew across the river, and the water shines to the sky.

The boatman was wearing a coir raincoat and was sitting on the bow of the boat. When he saw Xiao Rui coming out, he quickly got up and said respectfully, "Sir, shall we go back now when you wake up?"

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Go back, it's late at night, and you're tired."

The boatman said: "Don't be tired, don't be tired, living by the lake is what you do for a living, not to mention the rich reward you get, hehe..."

Looking at the happy and satisfied smile of the boatman, it seems that the body that was blown by the cold wind does not feel the cold.

Live and work in peace and contentment, this is living and working in peace and contentment.

Xiao Rui nodded, as if feeling something in his heart, looking up at Gao Lang Mingyue, his heart was touched.

Back on the shore, it was already noon, and I went back to the inn to continue to rest, and I had to leave for Beijing tomorrow.

In the early morning of the next day, the three of them had breakfast, mounted their horses and returned to the capital, and returned to the capital in the evening. The news of Xiao Rui's return to the capital spread instantly, and everyone in the city knew about it.

When Xiao Rui returned to the palace and just changed his clothes, Xiao Yan hurried over.

"Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother, it's bad, it's bad, the big thing is bad!" Xiao Yan looked anxious.

Seeing him, Xiao Rui asked, "Why is it so urgent, I just came back, so you can't tell, what do you mean?"

Xiao Yan said: "Seventh brother, you don't know yet, you just left the capital, and your father's fever recovered, and now the capital is going crazy, saying that you are the disaster star, that you are the one who caused the father to get sick. There are even more rumors Evil, if I didn't care about brotherhood, I wouldn't dare to come to see you, what if the disaster is passed on to me!"

"I see! Thank you, Brother Jiu, for your concern!" Xiao Rui patted him on the shoulder and said.

Xiao Yan anxiously said: "Then you can still laugh? I know, Seventh Brother is so insidious, you have wanted to leave the capital for a long time, and now you just take the opportunity to leave! It's justified! Isn't it? I guessed it! You You didn't even think about taking me?"

Xiao Rui glanced at him, and asked: "Going away in such a despondent way is being kicked out. I will be kicked out in such a bad way? Where do you want me to put my face? Can I go back to the capital in the future?"

Xiao Yan sarcastically said: "You have to lose face in order to escape from this prison? Seventh Brother, is Pudu Temple fun? I heard that the golden-footed red-haired crab and whitebait in Danyang Lake are very delicious! Did you bring me some back?" ?”

Xiao Rui said righteously: "I went to Pudu Temple to offer incense and pray for my father, what to play! I know how to play! I don't know what crabs and whitebait are!"

"Tch, just pretend, I saw you swallow your saliva! Since you are stubborn, hmph... I'll see how you deal with it tomorrow morning, anyway, my brother can't help you." Xiao Yan left Xianwang Mansion angrily.

Xiao Rui wasn't worried about tomorrow's morning court at all, and hoped that the artillery fire would be more intense, otherwise it would be boring.

After washing, Xiao Rui saw Hua Tuo who had been living in the mansion for the past few days, but seeing that his beard was gone, Xiao Rui couldn't hold back his laughter for a moment.

Hua Tuo reached out and touched his smooth chin with a resentful expression.

This is not all for His Highness! You are still laughing at me! The old man's heart is so cool.

Xiao Rui gave Hua Tuo the poison and the method of making it that Ye Qianying had given him. Hua Tuo became eager to learn, so he didn't care about his beard, so he hurried back to the room to study.

Before the break, Xiao Rui called Gao Quan and told him how he must entertain someone named Zhang Yizhi as a guest.

After everything has been explained, the next thing is to wait for the morning court tomorrow.

What surprised Xiao Rui was that Li Xiuer actually sent a letter from his confidant.

"This..." Holding the letter, Xiao Rui suddenly felt that things became interesting. He quickly opened the letter to browse:

"The rumors are not trivial. I hope King Xian will be more careful. You must be innocent."

The handwriting is beautiful, which seems to be a reminder, but the other meanings revealed between the lines are intriguing.

It seems that there are some things that don't require self-restraint to create, and Li Xiuer will be willing to do it. Presumably, the king of Chu was indifferent to the princess again, which caused Li Xiuer to be hit and even more resentful.

So, when Zhang Yizhi arrives in the capital, will he be able to arrange a plan?

Xiao Rui was full of expectations.
