Chapter 39 Going through fire and water
Wang Xiao was very satisfied with the identity and entry time arranged by the system this time.
Everything is just beginning and he has plenty of time to operate.
Sun Ruowei's pain was nothing more than the departure of relatives and friends one by one, and his sister turned against each other until Zhu Zhanji died of illness and his son was arrested in Tumu Fort.
If you want to make her happy for a lifetime, you have to start from the beginning.
As for the previous sentence, no matter what you want to do, you have to get money first. If you don’t have money, even Emperor Zhu Di will be left alone. What’s more, Wang Xiao is just the identity of the crown prince at this time.
However, before finding a way to get the money, he has another more important thing, even related to all subsequent plans.
Wang Xiao brought a group of Jinyiwei back to the Prince's Mansion of the East Palace. This book was not in line with the rules. But naturally, no one would be so stupid that he would go to the grandson to tell any rules.
"Dad, mom." Wang Xiao met the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi and the Crown Princess here.
He once became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally he was well aware of royal etiquette. Fortunately, it was a different world, but if it was the same world, it would be really a mess.
"Yo~ Why are you back so early today?" Zhu Gaochi, who was wide-body and fat, had a rich face, held the dog and joked with Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao smiled slightly, glanced at Hou Tai, the eunuch standing respectfully beside the prince, and said with a smile, "I have some small things to talk to you two."
The prince looked at him in confusion, then waved his hand to let the eunuchs and palace maids go out.
"Please stay, please stay." Wang Xiao greeted Hou Tai with amiable greeting. "This matter still needs to be done by Eunuch Hou."
Hou Tai quickly saluted, "The grandson, but he had ordered that the young man go through fire and water without hesitation."
Wang Xiao smiled and nodded, "Very good, I hope Eunuch Hou can do what he says."
When the idle people left, Wang Xiao signaled the Jinyiwei behind him to "Go and close the door, and someone eavesdropped on him and killed him."
As the door was closed, Hou Tai clearly felt something was wrong. The prince next to him couldn't help asking, "What are you going to do?"
Wang Xiao's face changed and he suddenly waved his hand and said, "Pick it!"
The Jinyiwei attacked quickly and held Hou Tai in a flash.
The prince and the princess were shocked and asked anxiously, "What is this for?"
Wang Xiao slowly walked to Hou Tai, who was calling for raucous things and squatted and looked at him, "Hou Tai, Eunuch Hou. You are so loyal."
Hou Tai was sweating profusely and begged for mercy.
Wang Xiao said slowly, "You have learned medical skills in Shang Hospital. You helped the prince cook tonic medicines, Kanto ginseng and Xuetang, who were really attentive to make medicines. But I heard that as long as you take this medicine a little more than one of the ingredients, it will turn into chronic poisons. And, why do you have to boil these medicines in the Han Palace?"
As soon as these words came out, Hou Tai was cold all over his body like a stone sculpture. The deepest secret hidden in his heart was discovered.
The prince and the princess on the side sat directly on the chair. They really didn't expect that the most trusted eunuch was actually the King of Han!
King Zhu Gaoxu of Han, Zhu Di's second son, held military power and followed Zhu Di to fight everywhere. It was the greatest threat to the position of the prince.
When Zhu Di fell ill in Yumuchuan, the biggest reason why he hesitated to pass the throne to Zhu Gaoxu was that the prince Zhu Gaochi's body was not good. His body was not good because of the chronic poison given by Hou Tai.
Wang Xiao cut off this line at this moment to cut off the biggest hidden danger.
"Okay, you are such a good servant!" The Crown Princess was so angry that she trembled all over. She slapped the table and was about to go to report to her father-in-law.
"Sit down!" Zhu Gaochi, who usually smiles, was extremely powerful when he was really angry.
Zhu Gaochi looked at Wang Xiao, "How did you know."
Of course, Wang Xiao couldn't say that I knew about it by watching TV series. All he could say was "I have my own information channel. As for the specific details, I will understand after the Jinyiwei interrogated me. Eunuch Hou, you said you were willing to go through fire and water before, don't forget your oath."
Zhu Gaochi and the Crown Princess naturally believed in their son. After Hou Tai, who was about to faint, was dragged away, the Crown Princess said impatiently, "Tell the old man about this. He is really a good brother to murder his own brother."
The prince waved his hand and looked at Wang Xiao, "What do you think? Do you want to tell your grandpa?"
Wang Xiao shook his head, "It's useless to find some evidence just by relying on Hou Tai's words. This is not useful to defeat the King of Han. And even if my grandfather knows, he will definitely punish the King of Han severely. But it won't take long to forgive him."
"Why!" The Crown Princess was almost angry to death.
"Because my grandfather started his own rebellion, what he was most worried about was that his father and his brothers turned against each other. Even if he knew about it, he would only try his best to resolve it. And he would also have the idea of whether his father was using a bitter trick to frame the King of Han. After all, Hou Tai was his father's personal eunuch."
"They are right!" Cuizhu on the crown princess' hair was trembling with anger. "Don't you just think of it like this?"
"That's right." Wang Xiao nodded, "just pretending that he didn't know and quietly dealt with the matter. But this matter could not be hidden from grandpa. Jinyiwei is not a good meal. But as long as we choose to keep it silent and cover it up on our own initiative, the impression of grandpa will be very different."
The princess was so angry that she trembled all over. She kicked her beloved pet dog away, and she carried her long skirt and went to the door to curse the streets regardless of it.
"Hahaha~" Prince Zhu Gaochi grabbed the princess's hand and laughed and reached out to light Wang Xiao. "My family's Qianliju has finally grown up, this is a good thing."
"You both are crazy." The princess stamped her feet angrily and turned back to the inner room.
"I'll go to the Zhao Prison first to see if Hou Tai has any other accomplices. In the future, the people around my father must be strict and strict."
"Go and go." Zhu Gaochi waved his hand with a smile. When Wang Xiao left, he sighed with a relaxing tone, "Second, I have a good son. You don't."
Hou Tai was just a eunuch, not a loyal man with firm belief. After entering the prison of the Jinyiwei, he had already taken everything before he could even get the real punishment.
Looking at the confession in his hand, Wang Xiao took a deep breath and threw the confession into the stove beside him.
Wang Xiao turned around and left, "Hou Tai said he would go through fire and water, you can help him."
The Jinyiwei behind him answered in unison, "Yes!"
Not long after Wang Xiao returned to the East Palace, an eunuch came to report to the emperor to summon him.
When I came to the Imperial Study room, I saw Zhu Di looking at a piece of paper with his back to him.
"See the Emperor."
"Here you." Zhu Di put the paper in his hand on the table. If Wang Xiao could see it, he would recognize that this was the confession he had seen in the imperial prison before. Of course, this was the attachment.
Zhu Di sat down on the chair and looked at Wang Xiao with complicated eyes. After a moment, he said, "How are you doing today?"
"I already have some clues and am preparing to set up a long line to catch big fish."
"Oh." Zhu Di picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Which big fish is it?"
Wang Xiao looked up at him and whispered a name, "Jianwen."
"The orphans left by Jingnan are not worth worrying about. The only real big fish is Jianwen. Only him is the real goal."
Zhu Di laughed loudly, "Okay, you said it well. You are doing well, what rewards do you want."
Wang Xiao didn't hear Zhu Di's other words, and smiled and said, "I really want to ask my grandpa to give me some reward."
Zhu Di, who was preparing to reward Wang Xiao with a general idea, smiled and said, "Speak."
"A few days ago, my grandson was looking for an ancient recipe that could filter the yellowed and black sugars on the market into snow-white sugar. If this matter was done, I would probably make a lot of money. But my grandson was tight and had no startup capital. I would like to ask my grandfather to support me."
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, "You still have this kind of ability? Why are you making so much money?"
Zhu Di is definitely a heroic figure. He had thought of rewarding Wang Xiao before, but in a blink of an eye he began to doubt what big thing Wang Xiao made money to do.
Wang Xiao looked up at him, "The grandson knew that his grandfather would have a wish to completely pacify the northern part of the Mo and seal the wolf and the Xushan Mountain. However, the country's money and grain income were limited, and the grandfather's wish could not be fully fulfilled. So he thought about earning some money to subsidize his grandfather so that he could get what he wanted."
Zhu Di looked at him deeply, and Wang Xiao looked at him without fear, with a clear look.
After a long time, Zhu Di nodded slowly, "I have received your wishes. But this is not a reward, please mention another one."
Wang Xiao smiled and stepped forward to beat his legs. "It's interesting to meet a girl today, but her status is not very good. I want to ask my grandfather to fulfill this."
In fact, Zhu Di knew Wang Xiao’s every move clearly, so he naturally knew which one he was talking about.
"You monkey, you have always thought about women all day long at a young age. This is a big deal? Forget it, it's up to you."
Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun Ruowei's orphanage identity as a hidden danger is a hidden danger and will explode like a bomb in the future. Now that I report to Zhu Di in advance, it is equivalent to removing the lead of the bomb.
When Wang Xiao left, Zhu Di picked up the confession on the table and handed it to the candle and lit it, "This child is really good."
It was already dark on Wang Xiao's way back to the East Palace. Today, he solved several troubles. Wang Xiao, who was in a good mood, was humming a small song with a smile.
Looking at the many palace maids and eunuchs who were bowing on the road, Wang Xiao suddenly remembered a person who had a huge influence on Sun Ruowei. It was also Sun Ruowei's lifelong regret.
"Oh, I've been busy for a day today and I'm hungry. I want to have a small snack."
The eunuch who was accompanying him hurriedly stepped forward to curry favor with him, "The grandson, I'll go and ask the imperial kitchen to prepare for the grandson."
"There is no need to be such a trouble. It's too troublesome to have a big night." Wang Xiao waved his hand. "By the way, where is Hu Shangyi? Find her to think of a solution."
Hu Shangyi is the female official of the Gong Zhengsi, which is the leader of all the palace maids in the palace. She has an adopted daughter named Hu Shanxiang, whose real identity is Sun Ruowei's sister.
In the future, due to the incident of the King of Han and the premature child, Hu Shanxiang and Sun Ruowei turned against each other. This was an important knot of Sun Ruowei.
"Meet the grandson."
Hu Shangyi, who was about forty years, had the etiquette and etiquette of all of them. Even if he was confused when he saw Wang Xiao visiting at night, he would never show it on the surface.
Wang Xiao took a chair carelessly and sat down, "I just came back from my grandfather. I was hungry and wanted to eat something good, but I didn't want to let the imperial kitchen handle it with great fanfare. Hu Shangyi can do it."
Hu Shangyi laughed and nodded, "Serving the master is our duty. Grandson, please sit and rest."
Wang Xiao picked up the snacks on the table and ate them casually, looking around without a trace. He soon met a palace maid who was secretly looking at him.
"Isn't this Tang Youyou?"
