Chapter 144 Fan Cage (Part 2)
Author: Holding Hairpin Star
A chess piece was settled, and Ti Zhen was about to move the chess piece, hesitating about where to go. But at that moment, the door of the room suddenly opened. Zhou Yishui, wearing an official robe with green and gold woven curtains, threw it in front of the door with a loud bang, struggling hard
He stepped forward with his left foot and sat on the collapse.
Ti Zhen just picked up the chess record and asked angrily: "Is it done?"
Zhou Yishui was inexplicably irritated. He turned around and looked at the willow curtain outside the eaves, and heaved a deep breath, "What a master at pretending to be confused!"
"You just said that the King of Nanyang was pinned to the ground and hammered. How could the emperor still condone him? Why did he say that Tingwei's chief prosecutor should be Tingwei's chief judge? Who knows that Fang Qiling almost went in and didn't come out last time. Isn't this something on his head?
Tell others in six big characters: I want to kill people and silence them!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his face turned red as soon as he drank, "This emperor...ah! He is so in love! He is really an old fool."
He was doing it in front, and Ti Zhen was watching from behind. What happened this morning was clear to him even before he entered the door.
"The love of licking a calf is deep?"
She was scornful, and the curve of her lips became higher and higher, "I think the emperor does not cherish his son, he cherishes the face of the royal family. If He Changxun confesses, then the prince in the dynasty is stealing from himself, killing people indiscriminately, and seeking personal power.
The King of Nanyang is shameless, and the Emperor is still shameless. This kind of case will be infamy for thousands of years!"
Zhou Yishui's anger surged up coldly, "That would be too easy for him!"
"What's not cheap? The Fifth Military Department was destroyed without attack. He lost a general. How much advantage did he gain?"
His smile was just like the sunlight obscured by dark clouds. He quickly withdrew and quickly said with a smile: "Your trust as an emperor can only be achieved by gluing and repairing a broken vase? No matter how powerful he is, he will inevitably end up with someone to fear in the future.
What happened, and I still haven’t fired a single shot.”
"How to say?"
Ti Zhen raised his head and was about to speak clearly when he saw a slender neck showing a beautiful arc behind the rockery in front of the window.
She frowned, then slowly calmed down, then gave Zhou Yishui a silent look, silently closed the door and went out to look around. To avoid suspicion, she often talked with outsiders in the Mooxiang Pavilion. Although it was located in a remote place,
But being close to Xiyuan inevitably made her uneasy.
Just as he was wondering who it was, the person seemed to know that she was coming. He cleverly pretended to be picking up a handkerchief, and slowly stood up from the haystack, "Ah, I'm looking for you! I didn't expect that I hadn't called someone to pass it on yet.
, you poured it out."
Ti Zhen knew it and didn't say anything. He only asked her: "How come Miss Zhao has time to come here today?"
Zhao Jinshu smiled awkwardly, "I...I made some plum blossom cakes with Hu Meiren, and sent some specially to the princess."
She was indeed born well, but it was a pity to be left in a corner of the palace. Her skin was as white as life, her eyebrows were as delicate as a painting, and her expression was as innocent as a little rabbit. They had completely forgotten that she was the work of a tea supervisor.
Ti Zhen let out a long oh, and his eyes were as warm as the April sunshine, "This is really a good relationship, and you can still think about me, so I asked Your Highness to cancel the morning and dusk sleep, and I didn't see you coming to sit here, I felt in my heart
I'm afraid our relationship will fade away."
Zhao Jinshu thought to herself: How could she dare to come? Ever since Hu Julan fell into the water, the two of them had become completely transparent. Even if you try to please someone, you won't delay others from kicking you. This princess is not easy to get along with. It's too late to escape and save your life.
What's more, she has such a heavy burden and doesn't want to waste it on fighting and jealousy. Naturally, it's better to do less than to do more.
After she thought about it, she laughed, "How could that be?"
Seeing her painstaking expression and kindness, Ti Zhen began to think slowly. He didn't know what he was thinking, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration. "In the next few days, I plan to ask someone to bring back a Buddha statue from Mount Putuo and put it in the Qin Study Room in Xiyuan for worship."
.”
On the other side, Zhao Jinshu stared blankly, not knowing what she was going to do, and then listened to her continue: "To be honest, I never believed in gods, ghosts, and immortals before, but last time His Highness was wrongfully imprisoned, I went to the Buddhist temple to pray and ask for the Buddha's protection.
But it worked, and I believed it after that. At that time, I also made a vow that I would burn incense and pray to Buddha every day. Now that I finally got the invitation, I thought you would also burn incense and chant sutras more, no matter what.
It’s all for His Highness, what do you think?”
She always burns incense and worships any Buddha, but when she enters the palace, she never hears that the princess believes in Buddhism.
As expected, Zhao Jinshu froze, and after a while she timidly agreed, "It is my honor to be able to pray for His Highness. I and Hu Meiren will often visit you."
"Just go there often." Ti Zhen smiled and held her hand. "As time goes by, you can see people's hearts. Naturally, you have to go and pray every day to have the spirit manifest. You can't do it even if you don't do it for a day, otherwise you will be sincere if you don't have the incense."
He quickly raised his fingers and counted, "At least five hours is enough!"
Twelve hours a day, excluding eating and sleeping, the rest of the time is lost. How is this different from confinement?
But Zhao Jinshu couldn't say it, so she could only agree to it.
Seeing that she wanted to embarrass herself but didn't dare to frown, Ti Zhen patted her shoulder lightly and said, "You know the affairs in the house, and I am not very involved. Prepare anything important first, so as not to miss the opportunity for the Buddha statue to be seated."
hour."
He agreed in panic. Under her gaze, he handed the cake box to Wen Yuan and walked out of the door dejectedly.
Ti Zhen still stopped for a long time, and when she saw no one and turned around again, she calmed down and went in, and ordered Cao You to keep an eye on the yard.
The person in this room was Qingming, but Wen Yuan was confused, "Girl, when did we invite the Buddha?"
Ti Zhen poured a cup of tea and smiled, "I didn't invite you at any time. I don't rely on gods and immortals to eat. I just saw that they were too idle. I found something for them to do to pass the time. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do.
Corner."
"That……"
"Just buy any one and bring it back. Remember to make it grand when you greet the wind, and do your best to fool people."
Zhou Yishui squeezed the peanut into his mouth and said, "This is teasing. There is no truth in his mouth. He will believe it for a while and not believe it for a while. He will act temporarily and be careful not to beat you."
She pursed her lips and listened to him say: "Aren't you happy? Zou Jiping, you have already made it difficult for me to hide it. If you had told me that he had surrendered, I would not have done this. Now it is good, the flood has washed away
Dragon King Temple - One's own family beats one's own family, it's really shameless to speak out."
Now that I think about Ti Zhen's reaction that day, and Wen Yu's subsequent attitude towards him asking for the antidote, everyone seems to choke, making themselves look more and more like a fool, especially if it reaches other people's ears.
He smoothed his sleeves and sighed, "Logically, I should pay him a courtesy. Now I really can't afford to be embarrassed. Fortunately, Your Highness got the antidote in time. If he had died, I would have been the culprit."
"
Feeling twitching and unsure of what to do, Ti Zhen picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, all her worries sinking into her heart.
A chess piece is a chess piece when it is put into play, and it is a discarded piece when it is used up. She can achieve success in one step, and she cannot afford to be careless.
After sending Zhou Yishui away, Ti Zhen went back to his room and took out the Chang'an secret road map. He found the gathering point of the Du Mansion and the Huqi camp in the vertical and horizontal directions. He traced it on the letter paper with a red pen and stuffed it into the central hair crown.
Take a piece of tissue paper, tie it into a small roll and put it into the carrier pigeon's letter box.
When she heard footsteps outside the door, she immediately put her things into the secret compartment. She smiled and handed the pigeon to Yang Zu to release.
Wen Yu raised his hand to let the people around him stand up, glanced back, turned around and sat down with Yan Yuesela Tiezhen, "Today the King of Nanyang is punished, our merits are half fulfilled. I bought some plum liqueur and cooked some vegetables.
Have a taste?”
Ti Zhen smiled and said yes, and soon the table was filled with platters of colorful flowers and greenery, as well as seasonal crucian carp. He served her a dish, "This is made of fish noodles with the bones removed. Try it. It's the freshest at this time."
Ti Zhen is a handicap at picking fish bones. She never touches fish on mats when eating out. Unless someone specially picks it for her, she is willing to take a bite. Otherwise, having her throat stuck in front of others would be too disrespectful to her majesty as the master of the stone boat.
Fortunately, everyone around her is considerate, from her father to her uncle, to her sister, to Shen Wangshu, and her husband, who are all willing to support her without disdain.
But the more this happened, the more embarrassed she felt, and it became less useful.
After drinking for three rounds, she held her forehead and mumbled something about being dizzy. Wen Yu looked at her face and carried her to the bed to rest. He also sent Wen Xiu and Wen Yuan down. However, he did not undress and turned around.
Guan Tong brought a snow-white homing pigeon out of the corridor for a breath of air and dim light and shadow.
Ti Zhen clenched her fists in the dark, her eyes in the shadows were sober and sad. Sure enough, the reconciliation with her that day was a lie to her.
