Brilliant fireworks exploded in the air, lighting up the entire sky.
Su Lixun looked at Su Jiu's eagerness to see the fireworks, couldn't help but chuckle, and walked out of the house with the little man in his arms.
The fireworks were set off from the hill opposite, and silhouettes of people could be faintly seen flashing.
Except for the last time my mother's birthday was celebrated by her brother Hang, who set off fireworks in the palace, this was the second time Su Jiu saw such colorful fireworks, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with excitement.
Su Rong'an stood aside and looked sideways at Su Jiu's happy face. She couldn't help but feel curious. Even these uncommon fireworks didn't seem as good-looking as the little man in Brother Wu's arms at this time. Why... just do it like this?
What do people like? Su Rongan couldn't help but think.
Su Jiu raised her little head, her almond-shaped eyes bright.
Fireworks don't just have one pattern, they bloom in the air to look like flowers, and the colors are as consistent as possible with the flowers in reality. Every time they explode, it's like different flowers blooming in the air, which is particularly gorgeous and colorful.
"Fifth brother! How did you do it?" Su Jiu looked at it for a while, then turned to look at Su Lixun, her almond-shaped eyes instantly turned into star eyes.
Su Lixun looked at Su Jiu's admiring look and chuckled: "As long as you have more money, there is nothing you can't do."
Su Jiu nodded in understanding. Just as she was about to turn around and continue to enjoy the fireworks, she met a pair of big, bright eyes.
The fireworks had been set off for a long time, and the child's energy was already limited. In addition, he met the old Taoist priest again during the day. At the end, Su Jiu couldn't control his sleepiness and fell asleep in Su Lixun's arms.
Officials remained silent.
He pulled out many nails hidden by the enemy in Beiyan Kingdom.
Su Rongan's heart melted as he watched. Why didn't he find the villain so cute?
Su Rongan's smile suddenly froze on her face, and her heart became cold.
Su Jiu: "Nameless? Does it mean there is no name?"
Su Rongan waved his hand dejectedly, "Left, left, why can't you always remember clearly? You are the worst disciple I have ever taught."
"Is this the old grandpa?" Su Jiu asked.
The young man's eyes lit up and he stood up excitedly, "Master! You're back. I have a medicine that I forgot whether it's in the cabinet on the left or the right."
Zhen Rao looked at Su Jiu's surprised look and couldn't help but chuckle. She raised her hand to touch her little head and hummed softly, "This matter has to start when my mother was a child..."
When Su Rongan saw that the villain found herself staring at her, she was a little embarrassed, but she still couldn't bear to move away, so she could only smile at the villain.
The young man responded and unfolded the silk handkerchief. When he saw the request above, he felt that the writing on it was really beautiful. He could make money by setting up a stall and writing letters to people. But what he wanted was not good, but he still didn't want it.
If you want to seal your throat with blood, it will be a fatal poison.
The young man shook his head, lifted up the medicine stove with an iron rod, and brought up a new stove. It was enough for three hundred people, and he had to ensure that he was completely dead. The dose must be increased. The date was still quite close. The young man sighed.
Sounds like I have to stay up late again.
Fortunately, the three of them had Qinggong, so the speed of going down the mountain was naturally different from that of ordinary people. Within a quarter of an hour, the three of them arrived at the foot of the mountain. A carriage stopped at the intersection of the mountain. The horse snorted a few times and sprayed out white mist.
His hooves scratched the ground impatiently, and when he heard the movement, he raised his head and looked at the three of them.
Su Jiu was hugged tightly by Zhen Rao and blinked in confusion, as if she didn't understand why her mother was so nervous after hearing about her encounter with the old Taoist priest yesterday.
It's just that Zhen Rao was born prematurely and was born weak. The doctors said that he would not survive until the age of three. This made Mr. Zhen very worried. Then one day, an old Taoist priest appeared at the door of Zhen's mansion and said that he could only give Zhen Rao to her.
Only by his care can he be saved from death.
The young man was not sad when he heard this. Anyway, every time he couldn't remember the medicinal materials, the master always said this. He walked to the medicine cabinet, opened the drawer on the far left, took out the medicinal materials inside, weighed it with his hands, and felt that it was almost the same.
Measure it, open the medicine stove and throw it in.
Behind him is a wall of cabinets, on which are placed a dazzling array of medicinal materials and porcelain bottles, stretch-leg-staring pills, crane-top red, itchy to death, etc.
Zhen Rao studied medicine with the old Taoist master, his senior brother Chu Ran learned Gu, and his second senior brother learned poison. Later, I heard that the second senior brother went down to the mountain and took on an apprentice, and then passed away for unknown reasons.
Seeing this, Su Rongan took a few steps forward and stretched out his hands towards Su Lixun, "Fifth brother, actually I can do it, I..." Qinggong is good.
**
"about……"
After Ning Shuiyuan's treason and collaboration with the enemy came out, Su Yijun used thunderous means to clean up a group of officials who had formed cliques for personal gain, gave and received privately, and had their homes confiscated and exiled.
Chu Ran cared about Zhen Rao and poisoned the then sixth prince to death for Zhen Rao. Then he fled Beiyan Kingdom for fear of being hunted by the sixth prince's gang.
Su Lixun put the cloak on the villain.
**
"If you have something to do, start to act, if nothing happens, leave the court!"
"If I talk too much, I will shed tears..."
Zhou Fu was holding a fly whisk and standing with his back straight.
Seeing this, Zhou Fu further confirmed his suspicion.
These days, His Majesty spends almost all day in the Qinzheng Palace and does not have time to see the Ninth Princess. Instead, in his spare time, he listens to the secret guards reporting on the Ninth Princess's itinerary.
While complaining, he added medicine to the medicine stove. When the last medicine was added, the young man's hand paused in the air. What did the master just say?
At night, the temperature drops sharply. It is different from the warmth during the day and is a bit more bleak. In addition, there are many trees in the mountains. The wind passes between the trees and makes a sound like a ghost crying, which makes people shudder.
As soon as the court came, Su Yijun didn't even change into court clothes and walked straight to Weiyang Palace. When he heard that Su Jiu was not in his palace but in the Lotus Garden, he immediately turned to the Lotus Garden.
Zhen Rao looked into the villain's clear eyes, sighed softly, and nodded, "He is my mother's master."
Zhen Rao nodded, "Yes."
If it were in the past, Su Rong'an would have said sourly when he saw this, "Who is celebrating your birthday, Fifth Brother, or this little girl?" But now he is very silent.
At this time, there was a sudden movement at the door.
The stove is not an ordinary stove, but a medicine furnace for refining elixirs. It requires people to wait and control the heat to prevent the loss of medicinal properties, which will not achieve the intended purpose of refining medicine.
"Yes, his name is Wuming."
Standing in the Jinluan Hall, Zhou Fu instantly felt that it was much emptier, and there seemed to be fewer people than before.
Lotus Garden.
But he still stretched out a fleshy little hand and patted Zhen Rao's back gently to express comfort, "Mom, don't worry, Jiu'er is fine!"
"Then tell me so that my apprentice will be happy." The young man said with a smile, not afraid of death.
Zhou Fu repeated this three times, and there was silence below. When he turned around to look at His Majesty, he found that His Majesty seemed to be absent-minded, haha! I understand, Your Majesty was thinking of the Ninth Princess.
Before he finished speaking, Su Lixun raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly, and Su Rongan was like a duck being strangled by the neck.
No wonder His Majesty is anxious to go to court.
"Jiu'er, are you okay?" Zhen Rao had a frightened look on her delicate face. She pulled the little person around and turned around. Seeing that she was fine, she was still worried. She pulled her into his arms, her almond-shaped eyes trembling, and then
Even his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Master?" The villain's apricot eyes widened.
"Remember."
Seeing that Su Lixun had safely stepped onto the carriage, Su Rongan breathed a sigh of relief, but then his face showed a little loss, and he hung his head and followed Su Lixun into the carriage.
One side of his little face was pressed on Su Lixun's shoulder, muttering with his little mouth, his face was still facing the direction of the fireworks, his eyes wanted to open from time to time, but in the end he couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep. That little look was much better
As cute as it is cute.
Since His Majesty had the Ninth Princess, he would not often kill people indiscriminately in the Taihe Hall, but Zhou Fu could clearly feel that these ministers seemed to be more afraid of Your Majesty than before.
The left side is the real death potion, the right side is the fake death potion...
The Zhen family is also a well-known member of the family in the Jiangnan water town. Mr. Zhen and his wife are loving husband and wife.
"Mother..." Su Jiu struggled slightly, took a small step away from Zhen Rao's arms, raised her head and asked curiously: "Mother, do you know that old man?"
"Master, today isn't my uncle's birthday. Why are you downcast?" The young man stirred the medicine pot with a stick and asked strangely. He was quite happy when he went out at noon, but when he came back he looked like an eggplant beaten by frost.
of?
Su Rongan sighed softly and took out a piece of silver from his arms.
"Huh!" Su Jiu snorted and looked away.
Seeing Su Jiu asleep at the side, Ye made a gesture to the hillside and quickly handed over the cloak.
Wuming has been crazy since that time, but he led Zhenrao very well. After going to the mountain, Zhenrao discovered that there were two senior brothers in front of him.
Ye Fan got on the carriage and controlled the horse rope. When he turned around, he saw Su Lixun holding Su Jiu and stepping onto the carriage. Su Rongan on the side stretched out his hands to hold Su Jiu down like a protector, as if he was afraid that Su Lixun would accidentally pull Su Jiu into the carriage.
Falling down, this scene is a bit funny, even Ye couldn't help but curl her lips.
Su Yijun's expression finally relaxed a little.
Zhen Rao and Chu Ran were childhood sweethearts. They never saw each other again until Zhen Rao and Ji came down the mountain and returned to Zhen's house. It wasn't until Zhen Rao came to the capital with Su Xuanyan that they started to socialize.
It's just that at that time, Chu Ran was following the then Sixth Prince and was his staff, and the two were on opposite sides.
"Your Highness, the carriage has been waiting at the foot of the mountain. It is difficult to travel on the mountain road at night. Princess Ninth..." Ye glanced at Su Jiu, who was sleeping soundly, feeling a little worried.
The sun rises little by little from the east, and a few rays of sunlight shine on the Taihe Hall, with civil and military officials kneeling on both sides.
The fireworks stopped immediately.
Yes! The young man slapped his forehead, grabbed a large handful of medicinal materials on the left, threw them into the medicine stove, and then closed the lid.
"Okay! Then I'm going to rest. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do." Su Rongan walked towards the bedroom with the word "mourning" written all over his body.
"Nothing, I'll take Jiu'er down the mountain." Su Lixun hugged Su Jiu and walked up the mountain road.
Su Rong'an's sad mood stopped for a moment, she raised her head and glared at him fiercely. She put the ingot of silver back into her arms like a treasure, dug through her sleeves, took out a silk handkerchief and threw it casually into the young man's arms.
"According to the requirements above, prepare portions for three hundred people. Remember, the left side is the fake death medicine, and the right side is the real death medicine. Do you remember it?"
In a corner of the palace, a young man of about eleven or twelve years old wearing a eunuch uniform was sitting by a stove, twirling his fingers.
Hey! After listening to this, I found that the ninth princess was very busy every day. She either went out to play with the fifth prince, or played shuttlecock with the fourth princess. Occasionally, she was fed by the third prince and the second princess. Anyway, she did not play every day.
I was so happy that I didn't remember His Majesty at all.
Until the dust settled and Su Yijun ascended the throne, Zhen Rao had never seen Chu Ran again for so many years, until that time...
"Then... why is my mother afraid of the Wuming Grandpa? The Wuming Grandpa doesn't seem to have done anything to my mother." He even saved Zhen Rao's life.
Su Jiu was confused.
Hearing the villain's question, Zhen Rao shuddered subconsciously and said, "That's because..."
