Chapter 8 Testing and Suspicion

In a daze, Liu Gang saw his mother crying and scolding, and felt his scalp numb and his mind was blank. It seemed that he shouldn't be staying in any part of the world.

If you are addicted to gambling, you will face such a situation sooner or later.I confessed many times and admitted my mistakes and changed my past. My credit will definitely go bankrupt completely, and even my own mother doesn't believe him anymore.

He suddenly woke up!

He sat with his eyes wide open for a while.

Seeing the antique carved window, he heard someone beside him saying, "Why did the second brother fall asleep here?" He gradually came to his senses and remembered that he was already Zhu Gaoxu and was in the Ming Dynasty.

The person who just spoke was his third brother Gao Sui.Gao Sui's eyes looked at Zhu Gaoxu's face. Did the second brother dream?

Even in the dream, Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to harm the people around him. He also wanted to be kind to his relatives and gain recognition, but he didn't have money and took the wrong path.

Zhu Gaoxu's chest was beating and his mood was in chaos... He couldn't help but sigh: Perhaps a man's original sin is poverty and powerlessness, and often contains desires.

Now in the Ming Dynasty, what he owns is very important.Keep everything you have!This desire is getting stronger and stronger.

Gao Sui's voice said again: Brother is sick!

Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath, stood up from the couch, turned to look at Gao Sui, and said that his elder brother's health had always been bad.

Gao Sui frowned and said, but this time it was not light, like an emergency, vomiting and crying pain, and there were many red bumps as big as sesame as a sesame!I have to find a doctor.

I'll go see my elder brother first.Zhu Gaoxu said, go to the door and ask the guard's Jinyiwei to find the doctor.

Gao Sui nodded.

Third brother.Zhu Gaoxu called him again and told the Jinyiwei Captain, and first informed his fourth uncle (Xu Zengshou).I heard that my fourth uncle had a relationship with strange people in the world, and maybe there would be a way to do it.

I'll go now.

Zhu Gaoxu also walked out of the room and a wave of heat came to his face.I remember when I first moved here, there were still some fine rain that was common in spring.It seemed as if in the blink of an eye, the weather was already so hot.

Only by walking west along the inverted room can you see the foyer of the inner house.Zhu Gaoxu slept outside at noon, so Gao Sui just asked him why he fell asleep here.

The brick walls of a row of hanging mountaintop houses absorbed gray and black dirt, and there was a stale and smoky smell in the air.

Since King Yàn was granted the title of title to Peking, most of the time, no one lived in this huge mansion, and only three or two slaves watched it.

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the foyer and looked back.There is nothing under the banana tree in the corner of the exterior wall, and the white flowers that once bloomed there are gone.

...The prince was sick. Although he asked the Jinyiwei to tell Xu Zengshou first, the first one was Xu Huizu.Xu Huizu and a companion named Qu followed the imperial doctor from Taichang Temple to visit the disease.

The imperial doctor looked at the symptoms carefully and took the pulse, but he was unable to ask the prince himself. The prince was already drowsy and had no clear speech.This imperial doctor only confirmed that the prince was sick.

In the afternoon of that day, more than a dozen imperial doctors came immediately!The prince's condition was real and serious, so the court immediately paid special attention to it.

More than a dozen imperial doctors with the most excellent medical skills in the Ming Dynasty were unable to diagnose the prince’s condition!Some people think it is heat, which causes fever, rash, vomiting and other symptoms, but the slow pulse cannot be explained.

Some people also think it is poisoning, but they cannot tell which poison is... And when it comes to poisoning, the imperial doctors all have a lot of worries, and most of them are silent.

Outside the prince's bedroom, Xu Huizu called a maid, who had just walked out of it with a copper basin.Xu Huizu asked: When Prince Su eats, he is the servants around him bringing them over?

The maid buried her head and stammered, "I don't know much, but most of the time it is."

Xu Huizu immediately asked again, the prince was unable to move and their brothers were harmonious. In addition to most of the time, the third prince... the prince of Gaoyang would also serve the prince to eat?

Or because of the harmony between brothers, the maid immediately nodded and said: Yes.

Xu Huizu asked again: The prince is vomiting, where is the filth?

The servants had already cleaned up and threw it away.

Oh... Xu Huizu waved his hand, tell the person who served the prince that if the prince vomits again, don’t lose the things, the imperial physicians may be useful.

yes.I hurriedly said, "I will leave."

The companion next to Xu Huizu didn't say anything, but just stood aside and listened to his inquiry silently.Xu Huizu greeted, let’s go to the kitchen to have a look.

This companion named Qu is named Qu Neng. He is an capable general. He took office as the commander-in-chief of Sichuan and made many contributions to Sichuan. He returned to Beijing not long ago to report his duties. He and Xu Huizu met him very early.

A military general like Qu Neng, who has nothing to do with the government, has a better relationship with Xu Huizu.

The two walked all the way to the kitchen located in the outer yard. Xu Huizu looked around and looked disappointed on his face.

Now is not the time to cook, there is no one in the kitchen, and the pots and pans are neatly tidy.

Xu Huizu turned around and looked at a ditch outside the kitchen, leading from under the wall to outside the mansion, which was also washed by water.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly saw Zhu Gaoxu walking towards him alone and gazes with Xu Huizu. He heard Zhu Gaoxu say: People say that a gentleman is far away from the kitchen, and his uncle has a noble status, so why do he come to the kitchen?

Xu Huizu was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm here to see if this kitchen is not clean, I'm afraid that the prince will get rid of his stomach."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and looked at the person next to him. This person is...

Qu Neng, wearing a gray cloth robe, hurriedly clasped his fists and said: Qu Neng, the commander of the Sichuan Metropolitan Government, pays homage to the Prince of Gaoyang.

Zhu Gaoxu looked calm and could not see any panic. He also bowed his hand to return the gift, General Qu, lucky to meet.

Today, Xu Huizu did not take off his elders or scolded him. He looked at his nephew in front of him, but his eyes were somewhat equal.

Although Zhu Gaoxu is tall and strong, he is only in his teens after all, and he still has a childish look on his face.

Only those eyes, bright and exuding a kind of experience, which is extremely inconsistent with age.

Maybe it's an illusion.Xu Huizu felt incredible.

Xu Huizu was excited and suddenly sighed softly. Many people do things, which is very interesting...

Zhu Gaoxu asked with great interest: Why don’t you say it, what’s the interesting thing about it?

Xu Huizu said with a smile: Test.

oh?Zhu Gaoxu's head slightly turned, what did his uncle want to test?

Xu Huizu shook his head, took a breath from hissing, frowned and thoughtfully, or because he was not fully aware of what he thought, he could not confirm other people's thoughts, so he did something and looked at it, and kept speculating and confirming it.It's safe...

After saying that, he stared at Zhu Gaoxu's face without blinking.

Zhu Gaoxu looked confused and said: Did your uncle mean to hook up with a little girl?

Xu Huizu was stunned for a moment, embarrassed again, and immediately said, "The prince is seriously ill. You are a brother who doesn't have any formality, but you still want that obscene thing!"

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly stood there with his fists clasped his fists.

snort!Xu Huizu shook his sleeves and lifted his legs and left.Zhu Gaoxu's voice came from behind, and his uncle and General Qu walked slowly.

Xu Huizu and Qu Neng left the mansion and rode a horse to leave.

Qu Neng called his followers to walk slowly, slapped his horse and asked: Duke Wei met Prince Gaoyang in the kitchen. I wonder what the meaning of that sentence was?

Xu Huizu looked back and said in a deep voice: I just thought today that Gao Xu killed that official last month, perhaps because he was thinking about trying to test the court!

This... Qu Neng pondered endlessly.

Xu Huizu said calmly again: I just went out, and I wanted to call the Jinyiwei Chief Clerk at the door to check, is the prince poisoned?However, it is a waste of time to say that the Jinyiwei no longer has the right to torture and investigate. Unless the court first requests the emperor and the superiors order, the Jinyiwei will search the royal palace.I then held back and didn't say anything.

Qu Neng responded, but did not comment.It was not convenient for both of them to say more, and they soon fell silent.

Xu Huizu had a kind of intuition in his heart: the prince was poisoned, which might be what Gao Xu did!

But there is a lack of evidence and some unreasonable things, so he will not say it rashly.He thought to himself: This is true in the world. Others are suspicious of themselves, and they are also suspicious of others.

Thinking of this, Xu Huizu still smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Qu Neng looked at him in confusion, not understanding why.

Xu Huizu immediately regained his serious expression, looked back at Qu Neng, no longer talking about the prince's condition, and instead said: My nephew Gao Xu was cunning and fierce when he was a teenager.Later, he followed his father to Peiping, and was good at archery, horse riding and shooting. He often taught soldiers to arrange troops and arrange troops. He heard that he had followed his father to the north many times before he was young. He often became a vanguard general, which was never simple.

This time I arrived in the capital, I paid special attention to him.Now it seems that it is too much worse than before, and it is a bit... terrible!

Qu Neng showed some surprise at Xu Huizu's words, and soon echoed: After all, the prince is Taizu's bloodline, and is more magical than ordinary people.

...Xu Huizu just left, and Xu Zengshou came.After Zhu Gaoxu arrived in Nanjing, he had never seen the two brothers appear at the same time.

The ones who came to the mansion were the son-in-law Wang Ning and Wang Ning's eldest son Wang Zhenliang.Everyone is a relative, and he is inevitably concerned about his well-being.

Xu Zengshou also brought a monk, saying that he was trying to expel evil spirits.

Zhu Gaoxu asked about the monk's origin and said in private that he had become a monk at Qingshou Temple.

Qingshou Temple?Zhu Gaoxu remembered that there was a counselor around his father, who was a monk, whose name was Daoyan and whose name was Yao Guangxiao.And Yao Guangxiao happened to be the host of Qingshou Temple.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Xu Zengshou with meaningful eyes several times.What is Xu Zengshou doing behind his uncle, seems to be more interesting.

Zhu Gaoxu did not take the initiative to mention this matter again.

With the monk's relationship, Xu Zengshou is suspected to have close contact with the Yàn Prince's Mansion; but there is another relationship... Yao Guangxiao is the one who appointed to assist the prince.

From the inside, Xu Zengshou and the Crown Prince's Mansion seem to be closer.

People have different close ties, but it depends on who they compare.
