Chapter 323: Out of Reach
That night, Gu Wenxuan calmly made himself a cup of barley tea. He had eaten too much meat in the past two days, so he drank some barley tea to promote digestion.
Although there are exquisite and complete tea sets nowadays, the big teapot is still the most exciting. Isn’t the essence of drinking tea lies in the mouthful of tea foam after drinking?
While drinking tea, he quietly listened to Zhou Banxia's narration. He was about to tell Zhou Banxia the news he got during the day when he heard her express her feelings.
"You really don't care?"
Zhou Banxia raised his right hand and said, "Look, you can't reach it."
"Clever."
"You are self-aware." Zhou Banxia nodded his head, "With my IQ, I can't even play, and it makes my head hurt."
very good!
"Sir, I also said that I will wait until I win the imperial examination before entering the capital. It seems calm at the moment, but in fact it is turbulent underneath. The person Uncle Qi is investigating is the prince's person."
"Which prince?"
Gu Wenxuan was about to make a gesture, but then he realized that he and his wife were in the villa and no one could eavesdrop, "Second Prince."
"True love is not a concubine?"
"I really love Mao Yao, but I'm afraid that my relatives will get bigger, so I just drag one family to fight against the other. In the past, the Shu Concubine's faction suppressed the Queen's natal family, but now the Queen's natal family takes action against the Shu Concubine's faction, and they will make a sure profit today.
Furthermore, according to what Mr. Wang said, even if the crown prince cannot inherit the throne, the second or ninth prince born from Concubine Shu will not be able to inherit the throne.
The third prince who has the most military ability is the one who neither fights nor robs. The third prince’s biological mother is the concubine De, and the concubine De is the concubine chosen for her son when his biological mother, the Queen Mother, was still alive.
The most important thing is that Concubine De's surname is Chen, and she is a descendant of the Chen family of the Taizu's mother's family we mentioned earlier. She has wealth but no real power, and is today's money bag.
Today's eldest grandson is the eldest son of the third prince. The teacher said that he is very smart, does not show his superiority in front of others, and does not rob others of honor——"
Hearing this, Zhou Banxia laughed out loud.
Gu Wenxuan, who was interrupted, didn't realize why she was laughing.
"Haha, smart."
Yes!
Gu Wenxuan understood and started laughing.
My husband always praises his niece for her extraordinary intelligence in front of others. She doesn't show off her superiority in front of others, but in reality she has a lot of talent in her heart and a lot of beauty hidden in her belly.
What else is there like bamboo, pine or lotus, noble bearing, perseverance, not deceived by glitz, and countless praises from the daughters of everyone.
"Uncle has taken sides with the Third Prince?"
"Are you kidding me?" Gu Wenxuan laughed and shook his head, "Mr. has a very high status, especially when news spread that he is the descendant of Zhou Shan, the world's best counselor. His prestige in the scholar circle is not inferior to that of Master. This is also The reason why he resigned is too eye-catching.”
"Clever."
"Definitely. If he wasn't smart, how could he win the trust of today? He pushed Master Gao and Uncle Qi ahead of him, as if he wanted to keep him to help the next emperor."
Zhou Banxia was startled, "Why did you say this?"
"Sir, he is both civil and military, and has extraordinary skills. He not only saved the Ninth Prince from being disfigured, but actually prevented the Crown Prince and the Third Prince from being stabbed here."
Gu Wenxuan pointed to his ribs, "It was almost aimed at the heart, but it wasn't much better. The knife was poisonous. It took several days to save him before he woke up.
This is also the reason why my husband did not come to Fucheng to see you until after the Qingming Festival. The situation was very dangerous at that time, and my husband did not expect that there was an ambush.
Do you think the emperor would take all his adult princes to take the riding test at the school? The guards would be so tight. Just as Long Xin was enjoying the feast and watching singing and dancing, three assassins lurked inside and rushed forward.
The husband said that he was stunned at the time, and subconsciously grabbed the prince and evacuated. Fortunately, there were many secret guards. Seeing that the prince was safe, he immediately went to save the prince.
Then he rescued the Ninth Prince, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince who were surrounded for some reason at the time. The Third Prince was also very skilled, but he seemed to be exhausted trying to protect the Crown Prince. ”
"I'm exhausted. Who can believe it? It doesn't mean that the third prince has the most military ability. He must also have good skills."
Gu Wenxuan smiled meaningfully, "You don't understand, sir, how else would you avoid the vital points and just protect them in front of them and only block one knife."
Just in response to the saying that the royal family has no family ties, only supreme power and profit, Zhou Banxia secretly sighed, "Uncle, didn't you expect it to be poisonous?"
"Sir, he should know medicine, otherwise he wouldn't have given you so many small bottles before. You can make fun of the medicine you put in your mouth. He must know medicine."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Banxia immediately "recruited" a transparent plastic box.
The flat plastic box is full of small bottles and cans, and each small bottle and can is covered with narrow black and red paper.
These were all pills her uncle and aunt had prepared for her to treat external colds, relieve colds, prevent heatstroke and convulsions, detoxify, replenish blood and stop bleeding, as well as Mafei powder and ointments to prevent frostbite or burns.
The efficacy of Jiedu Pills is unknown, but Ma Fei Powder is very effective, even better than Anesthesia Mucang.
Just put a fingernail into tea, which is colorless and odorless. After a few breaths, it can make people fall asleep without anyone knowing. The key is that there are no side effects.
It's a pity that the court has regulations that pharmacies are not allowed to sell Mafei powder without authorization, so as to avoid being used by gangsters to commit crimes.
I just don’t know what medicinal ingredients the uncle has tried, including this Ma Fei Powder...
Gu Wenxuan glanced at the wooden tray and continued: "Besides, I have heard from my husband that Master Qi is not good at writing, but he is not only good at writing, but he also has research in medicine."
Zhou Banxia, whose train of thought was interrupted, secretly clicked his tongue, Uncle Qi is so powerful?
"The reason why Mr. Master recommended Uncle Qi to the Emperor who was still the prince was because he was unable to prevent the poisoning, so Uncle Qi became the Emperor's personal bodyguard."
"No wonder -" Zhou Banxia rolled his eyes.
"Don't even think about it." Gu Wenxuan interrupted hastily, "Don't think about it, sir, I will never agree to your becoming Master Qi as your teacher, and Master Qi will not dare to teach you."
"...I don't know that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable. I just want to find some antidote."
"Sir, I definitely have it." Gu Wenxuan smiled confidently, "Sir, he will give it to you sooner or later." But not now, at least he has to have children.
The husband would not have thought that the medicine was three-part poison, so he would have given him a prescription early. Who knows if his precious niece would be disobedient and secretly make medicine to affect fertility.
It's just that he can't say these things. If he does, his wife will be under psychological pressure.
Gu Wenxuan decisively changed the topic, "Master Gao doesn't know the details. Even Mrs. Gao only thinks that Mr. Gao has a disfigured face and is recuperating for a while. He may be leaving for Fucheng years ago."
No, if it had been earlier, if her uncle hadn't been in a coma, the little girl might not have been able to return to Qinghe Village and be taken directly to the capital, and nothing would have happened to us.
wrong.
What did you just say?
"You said that the current emperor seems to want his uncle to assist the next emperor?"
"That's right!" Gu Wenxuan thought to himself, isn't this what he was talking about? "Think about it, Mr. Gao doesn't know the details, who sealed his mouth, and who made the world think that Mr. Gao only saved the Ninth Prince?"
"It's today."
