Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 273 Delicate Dice
Although the emperor was sober, his energy was indeed getting worse day by day, and he often began to doze off when he was in the morning court.More and more memorials were piled up in a day or two, and the role of several loyal court officials such as Mr. Chen Ge, Prime Minister Jiang, and Duke Qing became more and more prominent. They were often called by the emperor to the imperial study to listen to their opinions. big and small.

Several important ministers are so relied on, the people below naturally start to form cliques to seek benefits from them.The three princes became the backing trees of these factions. Although Xiao Rui insisted on severe punishment for the substitute incident last time, the emperor was concerned about the brotherhood and only fined Xiao Yan for half a year. As for those who participated in this matter Master Li was directly pulled out and beheaded, and Fang Zhongan was gradually alienated.

But Xiao Rui didn't get much benefit, the emperor's impression of him was no longer as friendly as before because of this incident.Only Xiao Xuan was greatly appreciated by the emperor, because he was a son's normal reaction to his old father's serious illness.

"My lord, look at these important ministers who are highly relied on by the Holy One, but none of them are on our side. Do you want to walk around?" The staff sat in the room, watching Xiao Xuan still making tea and drinking tea leisurely , couldn't help feeling anxious.

Xiao Xuan ordered tea, took a sip slowly, and said: "It's too late to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, even if we kowtow to beg for mercy, we can't win half of their appreciation, why bother to do these useless efforts. You have to hold your breath." After speaking, he pointed to the word on the screen and asked, "What did you see?"

"Tolerate."

"It's just to be patient. Although the father relies heavily on these people, he has never neglected state affairs and still does it himself. This shows that the father's body has the hope of a full recovery."

The staff twitched their faces after hearing this. Could it be that those imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital are talking nonsense?Or did Divine Doctor Xue come up with some panacea for the Holy One to cure all diseases after taking one?
At the same time, in Prince Rui's Mansion, Chen Xunfang was sorting out the lists Mr. Ruyi gave her, and felt that some parts were missing.For example, those who hold military power in the imperial court, except for the Imperial Forest Army controlled by her father, Xiao Rui has no military power at all.Judging from the information currently available, General Guan who is closest to the capital is actually a fan of Xiao Xuan, and this will become the biggest obstacle in the future.

If the eldest princess really wanted to subvert the Dali, she would definitely collect information about the army, and it was obvious that a lot of important parts were missing from the connection between the previous and subsequent news.

Holding the left and right scrolls with both hands, she saw the torn paper in the middle of the bound scrolls, so she found scissors and opened the scrolls, and a dozen pieces of shredded paper fell out of them.Chen Xunfang squinted her eyes as she looked at the falling note. It was obvious that someone had torn it off. Is it the eldest princess or Mr. Ruyi?Why?Since I asked her why she wanted to sabotage it.

She was in a daze, when Xiao Rui came in, and when she heard footsteps, she rolled up her sleeves and put away the book, stood up and saluted, "Good luck, my lord."

"Yeah." Xiao Rui stretched out his hand and tugged at the collar, "What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing, it's just an old book." Chen Xunfang got up carefully and poured a glass of water for Xiao Rui, and handed it over.Xiao Rui watched her drink it all in one gulp, then reached out to grab her hand and pulled it into his arms, but she strongly resisted.

Xiao Rui suddenly lost interest and sat down resentfully, rubbing the center of his brows.Chen Xunfang stroked her chest and let out a slow breath, she was afraid of him, she just didn't like him before, but now she's a husband and wife and she's actually afraid of him.For some reason, as soon as he got close to her, the hairs all over her body exploded, so she decided to go to several concubines for him within a month of marriage.

"Are you afraid of me?"

"No, my lord was joking."

"I'm afraid it's too late. When we become husband and wife, we have to be tied together for the rest of our lives. Neither of us can break free." Xiao Rui rubbed his brows and didn't reprimand or get angry.Yes, how many people in the world can be happy, let's make do with it.

It was New Year's Eve when Su Tiange, who was thousands of miles away, received the letter from Divine Doctor Xue. After so many days, the situation in the court must have undergone tremendous changes.

The letter also mentioned some things about the harem. After the Bliss Pill incident, the concubine Yu was diagnosed with a variety of toxins in her body after a miscarriage.The emperor's sudden coma was caused by various toxins in his body, so Concubine Yu was sent to the cold palace. Although Fang Zhong'an was protected by Xiao Yan from losing his official position, he was not as good as before.

And after Xiao Rui got married to Chen Xunfang, he enjoyed the favor of Mr. Chen Gel, and he has repeatedly shown his domineering momentum in the court.These letters from Xiao Xuan didn't say anything, and they wanted to report the good news but not the bad news, but if he didn't say anything, she still had to plan for him.

The gift she gave to Xiao Rui is expected to bear fruit in the next few days, and not only Xiao Yan will suffer, but even Xiao Rui will not be spared. Since ancient times, no emperor would like to see his brother Yan Qiang.If the punishment is too light, Xiao Yan will not treat Xiao Rui softly, but if the punishment is too heavy, the emperor will feel that he is too cruel and not kind enough to his brother.

This time it depends on how Xiao Rui responds.

The antidote has almost been developed, and the great elder has arranged for people to send it out in batches, and those who are deeply tortured can live a stable year.

"Girl, Shanzhuang's eyeliner in Wuguo received a small box and instructed to hand it over to the girl." Ai Hu brought a small box from the concierge to Ding Xiang and asked her to bring it in.Su Tiange took it over, it was an ebony box without any carvings or special marks.There was no keyhole and no place to deliberately twist the optional equipment to open it. She fiddled with it for a long time and decided to ask someone for help.

"Tell Ai Hu to go to Elder Wu to see if he can open it?" Ding Xiang went out again with the box, and half an hour later Ai Hu brought in the opened box again.

"Elder Wu said that the box is made of mechanical techniques, which is not difficult, but if you don't find the trick to force it open, the contents inside will be destroyed. It is a kind of confidentiality measure."

The box was opened, and inside was a white dice, nothing else.Su Tiange took the dice and turned it in his palm, without any writing or special smell, "Did Elder Wu say anything special about this dice?"

"No, Elder Wu said that these are very ordinary dice, the same as those played in the gambling house." Ding Xiang was also a little surprised, how could someone send a dice to the girl all the way.

"Where is the person who delivered the box?"

"Ai Hu said that he had asked. The things were thrown in through the window. There was no explanation except that he delivered them himself."

Su Tiange held the dice in her palm, and could clearly feel the coldness brought by the bones. She really wanted to break her head, but she couldn't think of anyone who could give her this thing.So I put it in the dressing box without paying special attention, and there will always be a chance to know in the future.

Didn't know it took that long.
