Chapter 81

Daoist Taoist name "Tianyi", since the emperor began to seek the way of longevity, he has been refining elixir for the emperor in the palace, and has won the emperor's trust, even more than the eunuch Wei Guanlan.

The people in the capital still had more prejudices against Wei Guanlan, looked down upon and feared Wei Guanlan, and dared not speak out.

In contrast, although Chief Tianyi was deeply trusted by the emperor, he did not intervene in the government, did not harm Zhongliang, and only made a pill for the emperor, so there was not much resistance.

"Princess Yan Li."

"The sky is long."

Chief Tianyi was ordered to "investigate the case" and came to the eldest princess's Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. After greeting with Yan Li, he went straight to the point.

"Did the princess notice anything special happened in the Zhuangzi recently, especially when the eldest princess's body became abnormal?"

Yan Li thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "There was only a banquet a few days ago, nothing unusual."

Tian Yidao heard the words and stroked his beard as if thinking. After a while, he shook his sleeves and stretched out his hand diagonally, "Bring the compass."

Daotong hurriedly handed it over.

After getting the compass, Tiandao closed his eyes and muttered as if doing something long, and the pointer on the compass that had been stationary began to sway.

After a while, Tianyi opened his eyes and followed the direction of the compass pointer.

"Follow."

Dao Tong hurriedly followed after hearing the sound, Yan Li hesitated for a moment, then followed suit, and the nuns beside Yan Li followed closely.

As the direction of the compass kept changing, Chief Tianyi took Daotong and Yan Li further and further away, and went straight to a row of low houses. Chief Tianyi stopped, and he turned his head and asked Yan Li: "Dare to ask?" Princess, where is it?"

"This is where the maidservants live."

Tian Yidao stroked his beard, "Although it was ordered by the Holy Majesty, since it is the residence of the maidservants, it is not easy for the poor to break in rashly. Please trouble the princess to call everyone out, so that the poor can watch them one by one. .”

Yan Li called Cao Mama, Cao Mama understood, went into the yard and called everyone out of the house, and lined up.

Chief Tianyi looked over one by one, and when he reached the last person, Chief Tianyi stopped and said, "Raise your head."

The servant girl trembled, as if she was very scared, but after all, she did not dare to disobey the order, and slowly raised her head.

"Miss Duan! Why are you here?!" Madam Cao exclaimed, and Yan Li looked over, also shocked, "Why is Miss Duan here?"

The maid lowered her head again, her voice was like a mosquito, "I, no, I'm a servant, this servant is not Miss Duan, this servant is the maid of the house."

Her voice was lowered word by word, until the end she could hardly hear her, and shrank back in fear. Except for her face, other things such as figure, height, temperament, etc., were not even remotely similar to the Miss Duan who had shown her face a few times. place.

"Yes, yes." Yan Li took a deep breath, and his beating heart gradually calmed down, "Perhaps it's just that they are similar in appearance. How can Miss Duan be in His Highness's Zhuangzi so well? It's not surprising that she looks similar, not surprising... ..."

Yan Li murmured, as if explaining, but also as if telling himself.

"Looks similar?" Tian Yiyi stroked his beard and said, "It's not surprising that people in the world have similar looks, but if they look very similar, then it's not a coincidence."

Tian Yiyi seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "I just saw the reaction of the princess and the nanny," Tian Yilong nodded to the maid in front of him, "If it's just similar, the reaction of the two of you will not be like this, then the lesson will be interesting."

Tian Yidao looked at Yan Li with a smile, "Is the princess proficient in Danqing?"

Yan Li said: "I don't dare to be proficient, I can only be called a little proficient."

Know a thing or two?
That picture is very good.

"The princess is too modest." Chief Tian said, "Please ask the princess to draw a portrait of Miss Duan for me to see."

"If the Taoist priest is only for viewing the painting, it's not necessary."

"Oh?"

"I happen to have a portrait of Miss Duan here."

-

Duanfu.

Recently, Duan Chang is busy with business and is often not at the residence. Today, Cui Xiang took Cui Xuan out to visit friends, and Cui Shexi went out to play in the streets. As usual, Duan Qingrong and Mrs. Zheng were at the residence.

"Young Master, Madam." Liu Mama opened the curtain and entered the room, saluted Duan Qingrong and Mrs. Zheng, and then said: "Madam, I am asking to see you."

"Heavenly Daoist." Mrs. Zheng lowered her smile, "What is he here for?"

The words are full of surprises.

Nanny Liu is an old man around Zheng Shi, and she is no stranger to Zheng Shi's reaction.

"Tian Daoist didn't say it clearly, but only said that he wanted to see the person in charge of the house."

If Duan Chang is not in the house, the person in charge can only be the Zheng family.

"Mother?"

Mrs. Zheng hummed, and stretched out her hand to Madam Liu, "That's all, let's go and see what kind of medicine is sold in Tian Taoist's gourd."

In the main hall, Tianyi said with a smile: "Madam, I don't sell any medicine in the gourd of the poor Taoist. The poor Taoist only makes alchemy for His Majesty, that's all."

Mrs. Zheng was noncommittal, she sat on the main seat, glanced at Tian Taoist, and snorted coldly: "Taoists are really good at playing charades, what is it that makes a Taoist master who is dedicated to serving the emperor come to visit my house specially?" , I think it's not a small matter."

Tiandaoren laughed off Zheng's sarcasm, "It's really not a small matter."

Heaven and people say so.

"I heard that the lady in the house is suffering from a serious illness, dare to ask Madam if she is?"

"Don't curse people." Mrs. Zheng gave Tian Taoist a warning look, "The little girl seems to be weak, but she has been feeling unwell recently, but the Taoist said that the little girl is suffering from a serious disease. What is the reason for that?"

"Then it's true that your body is ill." Tian Taoist nodded, "Does the madam know that Princess Wen has suddenly fallen asleep?"

"I know." Zheng Shi said, "But the eldest princess has her own imperial doctor to take care of her. I, a woman in the back house, can't help me much."

"Then, madam, do you know why the eldest princess fell asleep?"

Mrs. Zheng gradually became irritable, and her tone was impatient, "Look at the Taoist's question, does he think it's because of me that the eldest princess is sleepy, or does he think that I'm a woman in the back house who doesn't understand anything? With clairvoyance and ears, or someone with the ability to pinch and count, he can tell the cause of the eldest princess with just a touch of his mouth!"

Mrs. Zheng patted the table, "If you have something to talk about, leave if you have nothing to do. I don't have time to listen to your twists and turns."

Tiandao choked, he had heard a little about Zheng's identity, at this moment he saw that Zheng was obviously impatient, and suddenly he was blessed: if he is weak and speaks like this, Zheng will really see the guests away.

Tian Dao's face twitched, and he said bluntly, "I want to see Miss Duan."

Mrs. Zheng got up and left, "Mother Liu, see off the guests."

"Ai ai ai ma'am, why did it happen all of a sudden?"

Tian Daoist stepped forward to stop Mrs. Zheng, but was stopped by Duan Qingrong and Nanny Liu instead.

Grandma Liu: "Heavenly Taoist, please follow this old slave out of the house."
