Chapter 39 Is the Fifth Lady Really Here to Seize the King?
[The eunuch not only hid the medicine in the chrysanthemum, but also hid the reward in the chrysanthemum and took it out to sell. Wow, this chrysanthemum is like a pocket.]
[What if this is a secret?!]
In ancient times, chrysanthemums were often used to describe the noble character of literati. Chrysanthemums appeared in poems and were used by poets to express their inner melancholy and depression.
Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are known as the four gentlemen among flowers.
After judging from his heart that chrysanthemums are equivalent to the place to poop, Jian Zhang was instantly upset.
However, if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are indeed similarities between that place and chrysanthemums.
"...... "
Jian Zhang was extremely shocked. He didn't know whether to be shocked by his innocent and cute little daughter's extraordinary metaphor ability, shocked by the eunuch hiding medicine in chrysanthemums to drug the emperor, or shocked by the emperor eating feces-stained medicine...
His mood was complicated.
"......"
Tan Tai Mo was also shocked.
Why was it the eunuch and not the concubines in the harem?
Why would the eunuch drug his father?
Tan Tai Mo began to doubt Jian Ruonan's information.
Teng Ge'er was confused. Although he was smart, he was only six years old and lacked social experience. He was still wondering how chrysanthemums could hide medicine.
Among the people present, only Zhang Ying honestly analyzed the case.
[Does this eunuch have a grudge against the emperor? Since there is a grudge, why not poison the emperor? Why go to so much trouble to give the emperor an aphrodisiac? What are you thinking? ! 】
Tan Tai Mo: Yes, I finally figured it out.
【Giving the emperor an aphrodisiac can also make the emperor's descendants prolong their sexual life and enjoy happiness. 】
【Could it be that this eunuch is here to repay a favor? 】
【The snail eunuch? 】
Tan Tai Mo: "..."
Miss Fifth's thoughts are so... special.
【Shit - it turns out that this eunuch actually, actually -】
Jian Ruonan took a deep breath.
Jian Zhang's heart also rose to his throat.
Tan Tai Mo stopped drinking tea and listened attentively.
【This eunuch gave the drug for himself, he actually - secretly, loved, the emperor! ! 】
Tan Tai Mo: “…”
It’s really outrageous…
Jian Ruonan was very excited: [Once at a palace banquet, the emperor drank too much and rested in the Yangxin Palace. He suddenly had a whim and favored a young eunuch. The emperor was really fierce. He did it all night...]
Jian Zhang: “…Ahem!”
“Changfu!” Jian Zhang suddenly stood up and called the personal servant guarding the door in.
Teng Ge’er glared at his father resentfully.
At the critical moment, can the fifth sister finish her thoughts?
He was just listening to the excitement.
It’s really uncomfortable to be interrupted while eating melons.
"Changfu, send the fourth young master back." Jian Zhang apologized to the fourth prince: "This humble official suddenly remembered that Teng Ge’er hasn’t finished his homework yet, so let someone send him back first."
This kind of thing must not be heard by Teng Ge’er.
Teng Ge'er: "..."
He angrily came to Jian Zhang, holding his little hands and whispering to his daddy: "Daddy, how can chrysanthemums hide things? Tell me, and I'll go."
Jian Zhang: "..."
I really didn't hit him enough.
Jian Zhang frowned, and Teng Ge'er immediately became listless. He followed Chang Fu home obediently. When he left, he looked back at Jian Ruonan every few steps, and his young face was full of melancholy.
Damn daddy, be careful not to choke when eating a single melon!
With this interruption, Jian Ruonan really skipped the details of the emperor's favor to the eunuch.
[The little eunuch was reluctant at first, but after being favored, he suddenly opened the door to a new world and waited for the emperor every day. It turned out that the emperor was also a scumbag. After sleeping with him for one night, he forgot about the little eunuch. 】
【Concubines can still wait to be favored, but this little eunuch has no chance in his whole life. He waited so long, but could not wait for the emperor. Then, he resorted to this desperate measure, hoping that the emperor would be aroused by lust after taking the medicine and love him again. 】
【I hit it, I hit it, how come it is both sad and sweet? 】
【If this were put in a novel, it would be a complete crematorium for chasing wife! 】
Tan Tai Mo:? ?
What do you mean by hit it? The little eunuch hit his head and made his brain stupid?
But this little eunuch does seem to have been stupid, so he could do such a thing as exterminating nine generations of his family.
What does crematorium mean? Chasing a wife, there is only one little eunuch, where does the wife come from?
There are many strange things in the fifth lady's mind.
Jian Zhang has gotten used to Nan Nan's peculiar way of thinking, but he is still nervous:
After talking for so long, who is this little eunuch!
[Yo, the little eunuch went to buy medicine again today. The emperor didn't get it after the first two times. He wondered if the medicine was not effective enough, so he bought double the dose this time.]
[What a cunning 0!]
Tan Tai Mo: "..."
What a tricky 0, why is the little eunuch called 0?
This case is too complicated. If it weren't for Jian Ruonan's voice, it might not be solved in a lifetime.
Tan Tai Mo and Jian Zhang waited to hear what was to come, but Jian Ruonan refused to think about it.
[Oh, it's noon already, it's time for lunch, and after lunch you still have to take a nap. 】
Tan Tai Mo: "......"
Didn't I hear that the Fifth Miss didn't get up until 9:00? She's only been up for an hour and she's already sleepy again?
Jian Zhang is often kept in suspense and is used to it. Giving so many clues is enough for him to solve the case.
He analyzed: "The palace maids and concubines have been investigated almost completely, so we can focus on screening the eunuchs, especially the eunuchs who serve closely."
Zhang Ying nodded and wrote it down quickly.
[Wow, Daddy is so smart, he guessed it was the eunuch right away. That little eunuch is in charge of writing. He left the palace yesterday and will return today.]
Eunuchs and palace maids also have rest days, but they do not have a unified rest day every five days. Instead, they take turns to rest. Some eunuchs have houses outside the palace and can leave the palace every time they have a rest day.
"The illegal drugs must have been brought in from outside the palace." Jian Zhang continued: "The palace maids who return to the palace must be strictly checked. Not only must they take off all their clothes, but also some special places must be checked, such as the mouth."
Jian Zhang pointed his finger downwards: "And that place, no suspicious place can be left out." After speaking, he pulled Zhang Ying over and whispered a few words.
Zhang Ying's eyes widened as if he had suddenly realized something, "Is this okay? Thank you, Brother Zanli, I will immediately tell people to start from this direction."
[Dad is really smart, no wonder he was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice at such a young age! ! 66666——]
[It's just around the corner to be appointed as the Prime Minister! ! !]
Jian Zhang heard his daughter's compliments in his heart, touched his beard, and felt a little ashamed.
Fortunately, Teng Ge'er was sent back, otherwise it would be embarrassing to let Teng Ge'er see him cheating.
At this time, Zhang Ying's sister Zhang Cairong came to the hall accompanied by her mother.
Zhang Cairong saluted everyone generously, and then sat next to Jian Ruonan.
Seeing that Jian Ruonan was a little girl, Zhang Ying was afraid that she would be bored, so she asked her sister to accompany her.
Zhang Cairong is sixteen this year. She has an oval face, delicate eyebrows, and her eyes are curved when she smiles.
[Wow, what a pretty young lady, I'll be so sweet to you——]
After greeting each other, Zhang Cairong took Jian Ruonan to the yard to admire the flowers and scenery, but her eyes would occasionally look into the house. Jian Ruonan was not a real ten-year-old girl, and she could tell at once that Zhang Cairong was in love.
[Wow, it turns out that the pretty young lady admires the Fourth Prince. The talented man and the beautiful woman are really a perfect match!!]
[Sure enough, a beautiful woman and a handsome man should be together to be pleasing to the eyes.]
[I hope that Sister Cairong can fulfill her wish and become the Princess of Rui.]
Jian Ruonan was standing not far from the hall, and Tan Tai Mo could hear her inner voice.
Tan Tai Mo: [Do you still think that the Fifth Miss's mission is to capture this king? 】
Xuanwu system: [......My level is so high, how could I go wrong? 】
Tan Tai Mo: [Don't mention your level anymore. ]
It's useless.
Jian Ruonan has never made any attempt to please him from the beginning to the end, and now she thinks he is a good match with other women. How could such a woman have the mission to capture him?
Xuanwu system: [......]Feeling aggrieved. [Your Highness, wait, I must prove that I am right! ]
Tan Tai Mo and Jian Ruonan were sitting close to each other just now. Although the two did not speak, they sat next to each other for almost an incense stick of time. The Xuanwu system felt like it was filled with lamp oil: [Fourth Prince, I'm going to exert my strength! ]
Tan Tai Mo: [Just don't kill yourself. 】
Xuanwu system: [Ahhhhhhhh, I'm using my power——]
Tan Tai Mo: [......]
The Xuanwu system has charged a lot of lamp oil, and the small system that Jian Ruonan is bound to here almost shuts down: [Nan Nan, I felt dizzy after you and the Fourth Prince got close just now.]
Jian Ruonan: [You are a system, why are you dizzy?]
System: [Really, I just feel that the power is low and I'm going to be disconnected at any time.]
Jian Ruonan: [For your safety, I'd better give up the strategy of conquering the Fourth Prince.]
System: [......Can you not give up at the slightest provocation?]
Jian Ruonan: [No~~]
System: [......]
The one-to-one conversation was transmitted to Tan Tai Mo's brain intact by the Xuanwu system after it exerted its power.
Xuanwu system was so excited that his voice was shaking: [See, I was right, the Fifth Lady's mission was really to capture His Highness, and the Fifth Lady didn't capture His Highness simply because she was lazy! ]
Tan Tai Mo: [......]
