Chapter 134: Poison tastes like this, only a fool would eat it?
"Min'er, when I ask you again later, just say you saw it wrong."
"You said it too. The person you know has already died once. She can't die twice."
Grandmother Jia solemnly warned Jia Min that this was a matter of life and death and she must not be reckless.
"And you have no idea how the woman you know ended up in Prince Zhongshun's mansion. You can't tell how big a secret this is."
“How many people are involved?”
Jia Min pinched her palms with both hands and nodded, "Mom, I understand. I was just a little too shocked just now."
"It was a bit out of control."
"If anyone asks me later, I will say I don't know him and I made a mistake."
Jia Min agreed with her mouth, but she was filled with emotion.
"Why did Wen Qiang die in Prince Zhongshun's mansion?"
"Who did this?"
……
On the other side, the male guests were toasting each other.
There are lively and bustling people,
There were scholars competing in poetry and prose, and some court officials engaging in debates.
When everyone gets together, of course they talk about everything, from military affairs, government affairs to the singing girls in brothels.
The topics were varied and the discussions were so heated that people even blushed.
There are also hot-blooded teenagers who fight each other.
Yong'an followed the Prince of Nan'an and was very low-key at this time.
But someone was inexplicably displeased with him, shaking his glass and shouting at him like a good dog blocking the road,
"Are you the self-proclaimed prodigy?"
"How can a small potato be called a child prodigy?"
"I'm not big, but my face is not small."
"The mouth is not too big, the tongue is not too small, and there is no need to worry about the strong wind blowing the tongue away."
"Do you dare to compose a poem with me?"
Yongan clasped his hands together, shook his head, blinked his eyes, and opened his mouth with his classic answer.
"No, no, not as good as you, not as good as you."
The guy who blocked the road was sobered up by his drunkenness after hearing these words. He was very surprised. Is this the child prodigy?
Is this what a child prodigy is?
A child prodigy should not hold his head high, at least he should sing a song like Luo Binwang, "Geese, geese, geese..."
This guy admitted his mistake directly, so who helped him to brag?
You should knock the blower down and let him bark like a dog on the ground.
But since I have found this cowardly prodigy, even if he is unlucky,
"If you admit that you are not as good as me, then make it clear in front of all the talented people."
"You are overestimating your own abilities. You are talking nonsense."
Yongan had a calm and composed expression. His face was tense, but he didn't change his expression. He clasped his fists and gestured to the people around him.
"No, no, you guys can wait."
"If you want to know the answer, just look at the flowers blooming during the New Year."
After saying that, Yongan walked around the crowd and tried to find a quiet place.
It’s so annoying. People are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat.
Fame has misled me!
But there was no way these guys would let him go.
"Do you know who this is? He is the son of the Prime Minister, famous throughout the capital. He is destined to be the top scholar."
"You can leave if you want. Just crawl under there and yell, 'good brother' twice, and I'll let you go, how about that?"
A bunch of lackeys cheered loudly on the side.
Yongan's little hands were clenched tightly in anger, and he held the thing his sister gave him in his hand, not moving at all.
The Prince of Nan'an raised his eyebrows and looked arrogant.
……
When the group of people saw it, they were like, wow! This is the child prodigy pretending to be a clay figure and not moving.
You want to play a stalemate with us? No way!
If you don't move, we will move.
Our emotions, which had been brewing for so long, were dealt with with just four words from you: "No, no."
When these people saw that Yongan was still young, they beat up the little prodigy and started crying and snotting. It was so refreshing!
Moreover, they are all nobles with good foundations.
You are the son of a third-rank official in the capital, so if I beat you up, wouldn't it be in vain?
A group of people pushed each other and I squeezed towards Yongan.
Yong'an was small in stature but had quick eyes, and he had also practiced a few moves with the Prince of Nan'an. He dodged left and right, and the Prince of Nan'an next to him suddenly sneered.
With a whistle, he led Yongan towards these guys.
"Crackle, crackle." These buddies somehow became a pair of accomplices, their feet tangled with each other, one stepping on me and the other tripping over you, and finally falling to the ground.
"Hey, where the hell are you grabbing?"
"Ouch, my butt is broken."
"Mother!"
……
A few people rolled together, crying and snotting, it was so cool!
Afterwards, Yongan and the other man left.
The provocative group of people cursed even more vigorously when they saw this.
"What the hell is going on? Is this a ghost?"
"With so many people, you let those two guys get away?"
"Catch it for me!"
"I told you to catch someone, where are you digging?"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound of fighting had a melody.
……
At this moment, a group of guards ran out from the inner courtyard, shouting for everyone to gather together, as the palace wanted to investigate the case.
At this time, the male guests realized that something had happened inside, something big had happened!
Dead people.
This is really ridiculous. The prince died, and died in a state of unspeakable happiness.
The few people who got up from the ground suddenly felt that the pain in their bodies was gone, and they hurried forward to watch the excitement.
……
"No way, absolutely impossible."
When all the male guests finally gathered, a package fell from the Prime Minister's son's body.
The person behind accidentally stepped on it, and a cloud of white dust spread out, along with a foul smell.
The people around were frightened and fled in all directions.
The guard immediately acted like a cat that had discovered a mouse.
"Boss, what is this?"
"Aphrodisiac or poison?"
"Nonsense, have you ever seen an aphrodisiac that smells so strong?"
……
"Poison, why did you bring poison into the mansion?" the head guard asked angrily.
"This is not mine, believe me. Besides, what fool would eat this poison if it tastes like this?"
The Prime Minister's son shouted angrily, and what he said made a lot of sense.
Eating poison is like eating feces. Whose genius came up with this idea?
But after finally catching a suspect, how could we let him go so easily?
"You should know me. I won't tell you anything. Call my father."
"Well, please come with us!"
"Where are you going?"
"Don't be afraid, we are in the inner hall of the palace, we can't make the decision about your affairs."
……
The Prince of Nan'an and everyone else watched helplessly as the guards took away the group of lackeys of the Prime Minister's family.
The scene fell silent.
A man who looked like a guard came over and quietly said to the Prince of Nan'an,
"Master! It's done!"
Prince Nan'an frowned, "Why is it taking so long?"
The guard whispered, "Those two took a little too long."
"Besides, it was difficult to get out at that time. People from the Jia Mansion had been guarding the entrance to the rockery."
"Master, when I was listening to them discussing how to kill Madam Lin, I also heard a secret. It seems that the prince said that there is something wrong with the emperor's son."
The eyes of the Prince of Nan'an lit up and he seemed very interested in this. "What's the problem?"
The guard shook his head. "That guy said this when he was unconscious. He died afterwards."
At this moment, Prince Nan'an shouted behind him, "We didn't see anything!"
The guard hurriedly said in a stern voice, "Our interrogation is random. Please remember to report anything you remember in the future."
After saying that, the guard looked at the person passing by them. He cooperated by glaring at the Prince of Nannan, said "Pooh" and left.
……
The birthday banquet for the old empress dowager at Prince Zhongshun’s mansion ended strangely.
Lin Daiyu and the Jia family were not released until the evening.
The case eventually became a cold case.
Some said it was done by other sons of Prince Zhongshun, some said it was done by political enemies, and some said it was done by Prince Zhongshun himself after he discovered he was cuckolded.
This blind date event that shocked the whole capital was tinged with glamour and conspiracy.
……
The following spring, two major events occurred.
When the emperor was about to issue an edict to let the prince of Nan'an marry Princess Chaoyang, a warning came from the sky and the imperial edict was stained with blood.
So he changed his strategy and suddenly issued an edict to promote a group of concubines in the palace at the same time, including Concubine Wu, Concubine Jia, Concubine Zhou...
Concubine Jia, Jia Yuanchun, was promoted to the Minister of Fengzao Palace and was given the title of Concubine Xian De.
All this had little impact on the Lin family at that time. The most influential thing was the first place in Yongan's Tongsheng examination.
It was not until this moment that Lin Daiyu understood why Lin Ruhai was so confident at that time.
Because Lin Ruhai had been immersed in the ocean of books for many years, he was well aware of the thinking behind the questions set by the examiners of that year.
According to Lin Daiyu, he is a great person who can predict the topic.
How can Yongan fail if he only practices those kinds of questions?
Even his teacher thought that his disciple was a genius in exams.
When the news came, Lin Daiyu asked Lin Ruhai in surprise, "Father, aren't you afraid that others will accuse you of cheating?"
Lin Ruhai laughed and said, "How can I cheat? Although I am in the Ministry of Rites, I have nothing to do with the imperial examinations."
"In order to stay away and avoid suspicion, your father will have to sit on the bench for a few years."
"That's why I want to spread the name of Yongan's child prodigy as soon as possible."
“Become famous as early as possible!”
