Chapter 120 Rumors arise
After getting the confession and the divorce letter, they left the other courtyard. Yuan Rujing didn't speak any more along the way and fell into deep contemplation.
"Aunt Rujing, don't blame me for forcing you to make a decision so quickly, because we don't have much time..."
"I know, Ayu, I'm actually very grateful to you. I just can't accept what happened just now. I didn't expect Fan Yong to be such a hypocrite. I really don't understand people well. If Ayuan follows such a father , I still don’t know what life will be like in the future..."
Having said this, she looked at Xiao Jinyu with great shame, "What I didn't expect was that when the Fan family agreed to this marriage, they just wanted to find out about your mother from me. They... actually even went to your mother. Even the Qi State refuses to let you go...and you still want to use the news about your mother to take credit...it's really ridiculous!"
"It's really ridiculous!"
Unknowingly, Xiao Jinyu also sighed, thinking that everything his mother Xiao Luan suffered could be described as a "shameless conspiracy".
"Ayu——"
Yuan Rujing even called out guiltily.
Only then did Xiao Jinyu come back to his senses and said: "That's all, all this is in the past, and there is nothing to regret. What matters is the present and the future!"
Yuan Rujing nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Go back! We have to start planning the next step!"
Xiao Jinyu said, then looked at Phoenix, "Send the message to Li Langjun and Cui Langjun, it's their turn to play!"
…
When the carrier pigeon arrived at the inn where Li Mi and Cui Heng were staying, the two were playing chess. Suddenly, they saw a white pigeon landing in front of the window, with its white head spinning around. Li Mi curiously grabbed the carrier pigeon and took it. He opened the note tied to his foot and read it.
Looking at it, I couldn't help but feel surprised.
"I didn't expect this little lady to find witnesses so quickly, and then it's our turn to lend her a knife! Thinking about this makes me a little excited, don't you think so, Saburo?"
Cui Sanlang was still staring at the chess game on the chessboard with his eyebrows furrowed and did not reply.
"Sanlang, I'm talking to you, what are you thinking about?"
After being pushed, Cui Sanlang finally looked up.
"I'm thinking that just borrowing the sword is not enough, I should also cut off one of its wings! Since we are helping, we must help to the end!"
"That's natural!"
"Sanlang, do you know what kind of nursery rhymes are being circulated in the streets and alleys now?"
…
"A foot of cloth can be used for sewing; a bushel of millet can be used for pounding. The two brothers are incompatible!"
"It's too dim, the star is out, the thousand-year-old skull has sharp teeth, the tomb robber prince is plotting for the Eastern Palace!"
However, in just five days, this nursery rhyme spread throughout the streets and alleys of Jiankang City. Since ancient times, this folk nursery rhyme has been spreading very fast, even if the government wants to stop it, there is nothing it can do.
When Sima Yu, the crown prince of Emperor Hui of the Western Jin Dynasty, was framed by Queen Jia Nanfeng for treason, there was a folk song: "The south wind is blowing the white sand, and looking at the lush and craggy land of Lu in the distance, thousand-year-old skulls are full of teeth."
It is a satire that Jia Nanfeng and his nephew Jia Mi conspired to kill the prince, treating human life as carelessly as a spermatozoon.
"Now this nursery rhyme is similar to that one. It also satirizes the tomb-robber King Shiheung for sacrificing human life in order to become the crown prince of the Eastern Palace!"
In the Shixing Palace, the King of Changsha also recited this nursery rhyme three times in front of Shixing King Chen Shuling, until Chen Shuling's face became darker and darker.
Chen Shujian, the king of Changsha, laughed loudly and made an admonition and sighing look.
"Brother Emperor, you just said you were lustful. There are hundreds of beauties in this house that are not enough for you to play with. Why do you want to provoke a little boy who doesn't know anything about coquettishness but only martial arts? You see, the word lust is With a knife on your head, you’re playing with it, right?”
Chen Shuling is still unable to get up. When he leans down, he feels a sharp pain in his lower body. At this moment, he hears the ridicule of King Changsha. He gets excited and wants to get up from the bed to beat him. Unexpectedly, before he can move even half an inch, there is a burst of heartbreaking pain. A lung-breaking scream.
"Come here, kill him!"
When Chen Shujian heard this, he immediately shouted: "Help! Brother Huang wants to kill me! Brother Huang wants to kill me!"
"Come quickly! Protect this king back to the palace! I want to see my father!" Hearing Chen Shujian's extremely exaggerated howling, Chen Shuling was even more angry. However, he couldn't move. He couldn't really kill Chen Shujian so blatantly. This fourth brother.
In this way, he really fell into his trap, which clearly showed that he had the ambition to kill his brothers and gain possession of the Eastern Palace.
"Your Majesty, please bear with it as long as you can during this period. Although the nursery rhymes spread outside are just nursery rhymes, they have been extremely destructive since ancient times. They alienated monarchs and ministers and killed loyal and good people in vain. Not to mention that the nursery rhyme refers to someone else. You and the prince!"
Counselor Wei Liang advised.
"Do you think I don't know? If I didn't know, I would kill this bastard Chen Shujian today!"
"Your Majesty, King Changsha is just a prince who is not very favored. His mother was just a maid from a restaurant in Wu County. She had an affair with His Majesty in the early years and gave birth to King Changsha. She is incomparable to your mother. You Why bother with him all the time?"
"It's not that I have trouble with him, it's that he goes against me at every turn! That's all, let's not talk about this anymore. How about that thing I asked you to do?"
"Dai Zhongling has secretly sent a message to all the generals. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this matter is very confidential and no one will know about it."
"What about my injury? Why hasn't Yao Yizheng come today? It's already been five days. Why is it that I haven't healed at all?"
"As well as Xiao Jinyu, that wretched maid, and the wretched slave beside her. It's really hard for me to swallow this tone of voice. After we are ready, we will capture them both and make them unable to live or die!"
Amidst Chen Shuling's angry scolding, Wei Liang originally wanted to admonish him, but seeing his fierce look and thinking of the maidservant who was killed before, he quickly shut up.
"Your Majesty, the prescription is here!"
At this time, a servant rushed in with joy, holding up a piece of medicine in his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the medicine that the imperial concubine ordered the old slave to ask for from Princess Yunyin. I heard that Mr. Xiao Balang relied on this medicine. , Your Majesty might as well give it a try if your body recovers!"
"Go and ask Uncle Yao to come and see if this prescription can be used!"
"yes!"
…
After Chen Shujian left the Shixing Palace, he was very proud of himself. In the past, when competing for favor in front of his father, he always fell behind. It is unreasonable for his father to favor Chen Shuling, the second brother.
Today he saw that the arrogant and arrogant King Shiheung was so embarrassed that he couldn't even sleep on his bed for a day, and the injury was in the same place. It was so funny and ridiculous, and he felt a lot happy.
"Let's go, today the king is happy, go to Xinghua Yanyu Tower!"
Recently, a new game has been added to Xinghua Yanyu Tower, called Yepai Shushu, which uses astrology, yin and yang, five elements, heavenly stems and earthly branches to speculate on the fate of individuals and even the country.
Chen Shujian is a person who loves arithmetic. When he came to the private room and saw that the guests inside were actually playing this kind of game, his eyes lit up and he became very interested. After looking around for a week, he saw a person sitting in a corner watching. The leaf card in his hand was lost, and he quickly walked towards the man.
Taking a closer look, this person turned out to be Cui Heng, a scholar from the North.
"It turns out that this is Cui Ziyuan of the Bolingcui family. It's really a pleasure to meet him. I have heard that Mr. Cui is very knowledgeable. Is it possible that he is also very proficient in this art?"
Chen Shujian was the first to ask. He had also heard about the fact that Cui Ziyuan had participated in a Buddhist debate among celebrities in Daliang when he was young, and that he was on equal terms with Xie Yuqing, the daughter of the Xie family in Chen County at that time. He admired Cui Ziyuan very much, and naturally he had a crush on Cui Ziyuan. Good impression.
"His Royal Highness the King of Changsha!"
Cui Heng stood up to greet him.
Chen Shujian was even more happy when he saw his gentle manner and said hurriedly: "Cui Langjun, please sit down! Zicheng just wants to discuss numerology with Cui Langjun!"
"Okay! Your Majesty, please go first!"
Cui Heng and Chen Shujian talked about the rules of the game and started playing with them. When they were enjoying themselves to the fullest, Chen Shujian suddenly asked: "Cui Langjun is so familiar with magic numbers, can he use magic numbers to predict the future?" What is your fate?"
"Of course you can. What do you want to know, Your Majesty? Please choose a card from these leaf cards at will!"
After speaking, Cui Heng spread the leaf cards on the table. Chen Shujian hesitated and chose from them, and finally picked out a card with the word "loyalty".
"What does this mean?" Chen Shujian asked.
Cui Heng smiled and replied: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, as long as you are a loyal minister, find out the traitors for your master, and eliminate the rebels, you will be rich and peaceful in the future!"
"Then how do I find the traitor and eliminate the traitor?"
