Chapter 209 Good Habits From Childhood
The real master?Quanfu was stunned, Xiaoxi, who used to work in the Shangshe Bureau, was more clever, and immediately nodded and replied: "Slaves, remember, when Madam enters the palace, the servants will serve you wholeheartedly."

Xiao Jingheng was satisfied with this answer.After he ordered Quan Fu to follow him as an errand, he stopped talking, picked up a brush and lowered his head to write and draw. Quan Fu hurriedly went up to grind the ink, and brought a tea stove, teapot, tea bowl and tea all day long. Xiaoxi, who was walking, set up his stuff at the door of the study.

After Xiao Jingheng wrote for a while, he picked up the astronomical book that was drawn out on the desk before, and without calling anyone, he stood up and put it back on the original position on the bookshelf.Then he reached out and took out the other two books.

He surprised Xiaoxi and Quan Fu, and Quan Fu quickly went up to stop him: "Young Master! The books on this shelf cannot be moved! Wait for Grandpa Qi to change them and read them."

"It's okay." Xiao Jingheng shook his head: "The few books I took must not be poisonous."

Hearing Xiao Jingheng's words, Xiao Xi and Quan Fu looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally Quan Fu couldn't help asking: "Master, how do you know that these books are not poisonous?"

"If I came to poison," Xiao Jingheng replied with a smile, "I would never put it on books such as geography, calendar, and astronomy. There are so many miscellaneous books, it would take some time to read them all, and they There is no guarantee that I will really read these miscellaneous books. They don’t understand my reading habits on weekdays. What if I am ignorant and incompetent on weekdays, just to deal with the Hanlin of Yushuyuan, so I can find all the books that the chief manager needs? Therefore, it is best The safest way is to poison the pages of the books on my list."

I see.Quan Fu and Xiao Xi suddenly realized and nodded, feeling more and more that this master is unfathomable, and can almost predict good and bad postures.

"But even if I poison the pages of the book, I probably won't be poisoned to death easily." Xiao Jingheng added with a smile: "It's true that many people have the habit of licking their fingers and flipping through books, but I never do this. Because my wife thinks this is not good-looking. Therefore, she will always order someone to place a damp cloth towel in front of my desk, even if I read for a long time and my fingers are dry, I am not afraid that I will not be able to turn the pages."

"I'm studying in the palace, and I'll ask you to prepare like this." Xiao Jingheng looked at Quanfu and Xiaoxi with a kind and innocent expression on his face: "The pages of this book are poisonous, but they won't enter my mouth. It's all over the place. After I finished reading the book, the cloth towel with strong poison was taken away by you, and you know how to deal with it in the future, so I don't know who is out of luck."

Quan Fu and Xiao Xi imagined such a scene, and immediately shivered with fright.I feel even more that Xiao Jingheng deliberately spared their lives.

That's right, Xiao Jingheng was trying to scare people on purpose, his words were actually quite flawed, but Xiao Xi and Quan Fu didn't realize it.

He deliberately didn't say that if he came to poison, to be safe, he would definitely use the kind of medicine that can poison people even if it enters the mouth.Mr. Feng said before that some poisons can enter the skin through contact, but the poison enters through the skin and the effect is slower.

However, the effect of intimidation was excellent. Xiao Jingheng, who had no money to tip, had no pockets, so he tricked the two inner eunuchs into ordering him first.

In the guardhouse far away from Pingkang Palace, Mo Chenfeng and Qi Zhengrong looked down at the body of the inner prisoner on the ground.

Mo Chenfeng walked around the corpse: "We were really lucky this time, nothing serious happened. I'll find someone to do an autopsy first to see what the poison is."

"That's right!" Qi Zhengrong immediately agreed: "But the one from Pingkang Palace is quite shrewd."

"Oh?" Mo Chenfeng raised his head immediately, with a look of interest on his face: "Tell me, what's going on?"

"What's going on!" Qi Zhengrong sighed: "He found out that something was wrong, so he sent someone to pass the letter to me."

"Ah?" Mo Chenfeng became more interested: "How did he find out, tell me."

"It's just luck." Qi Zhengrong smiled wryly and shook his head. He spent some time explaining everything that happened in Pingkang Palace to Mo Chenfeng, including Xiao Jingheng's very deliberate beating.

"He's not very old, but he's cautious and careful." Mo Chenfeng also looked a little surprised: "I knew that he was not an idiot before, but I didn't expect him to be so smart. But think about it, if not, he How can I live in peace and stability in the Huaiyang Prince's Mansion to this day."

"What happened in the past has nothing to do with us," Qi Zhengrong replied: "Let's talk about the present first, this matter cannot be covered, and we still have to tell the emperor."

"Hey!" Mo Chenfeng was so annoyed that he rubbed his brows at the mention of this, "Then what should we do, should we go to the emperor now? Are you going or should I go? These days the princes have a big ceremony, and the emperor is feeling sad! At the time we were looking for this matter, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the emperor?"

"Don't worry." Qi Zhengrong was rather calm: "It won't cause trouble for the emperor, and there is nothing serious. If you don't want to go, then I will go. The body is here first. You can find someone to examine it quickly. The emperor will definitely ask after he finds out." yours."

Facts have proved that Qi Zhengrong, as the emperor's personal eunuch, still knows his master very well.

After the emperor heard about Pingkang Palace, he immediately frowned and yelled at Qi Zhengrong.But after he heard Qi Zhengrong explain the ins and outs, he calmed down instead.

"This kid is interesting." The emperor chuckled lightly, but there was no smile on his face: "I can't tell, he is so shrewd."

"Your Majesty?" Qi Zhengrong asked tentatively: "Would you like to announce Xiao Jingheng, you can ask in person."

"Don't worry." The emperor waved his hand: "You can deal with this matter, I just pretend I don't know."

? ? ?Pretend not to know? !Qi Zhengrong was taken aback.In this way, Xiao Jingheng really made it clear that the emperor really planned not to pursue it, and he didn't even bother to save face.Apart from other things, if there is no explanation for such a big commotion in Pingkang Palace, maybe it will cause rumors in the palace?

"Your Majesty, this..." Qi Zhengrong was a little embarrassed: "Such a big thing..."

"So what? It's just the death of an internal eunuch," the emperor interrupted Qi Zhengrong in a deep voice, "Who else do you want to find out? The prince is in a great funeral, and the queen mother, queen and concubines are grieving. What happened for nothing? thing."

One sentence made Qi Zhengrong shut up.The meaning of the emperor is very obvious, even if it was the empress or concubine Lin Gui, or concubine Li who did it, the emperor has no way to pursue it, and has no intention of pursuing it, so he decided to turn a blind eye.

 ---Here is the exaggerated dividing line--
  Don't ask me where such a magical poison came from, it was made up by a stupid author!
  In addition, flipping a book and licking your fingers was really not considered inappropriate in ancient times, but Xiao Jingjing is not used to it by modern people.

  Thanks to Yun Qingqing and Pili Mu for their daily dried fish! !
