Chapter 641: Singing, Reciting, Acting, and Fighting with Ingenuity

He asked him this question last time.

After he asked, Cui Dunyi had obviously thought about this question carefully and said, "If you think about it, it is true. In the past few months, things have indeed been smoother."

He looked at him: "So, why is this??"

Hao Huashi said: "Let me tell you this, you know about Duke Zhao, right? You are a news person, you should have heard about him, right?"

Of course he had heard of it. He had checked the little princess carefully and of course he would not miss Yuan Shenjue.

Yuan Shenjue's experiences as a teenager were no secret in the capital. Later, he followed Yuan Xiang to study around the world, and many things were not difficult to find out.

He really didn't think about it at first, but once he thought about it, it was too obvious. His face looked a little strange. Zhou Baichen had been walking back and forth to keep an eye on the two of them, and he couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Could this be a man-made disaster?"

Hao Huashi nodded.

Cui Dunyi asked quickly: "What about now?"

Hao Huashi whispered: "When we first arrived at Shengping Palace, we used artillery..."

Cui Dunyi was stunned on the spot, his face changed drastically. He thought quickly for a moment and said, "Could it be that the crown prince is also involved? Could it be that you went to Shengping Palace just to trap that person..."

Hao Huashi was not in a position to talk about these things, so he just lowered his head and drank his tea. However, Cui Dunyi had already understood and said, "Yes... yes..."

His voice trembled, and after a long while he asked, "Who is it?"

Hao Huashi said: "He was an evil Taoist who accidentally obtained a legacy left behind at some unknown time. He used some mysterious means to achieve immortality. He was so bold that he harmed many people..." He paused: "But don't worry, he is dead, dead."

Cui Dunyi’s face was pale and his eyes were blank. He didn’t know what else to say.

Hao Huashi stopped talking, stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and turned to walk out, saying to Zhou Baichen, "I'll ask Master, and then have someone send you a letter."

Zhou Baichen agreed. Hao Huashi looked at Cui Dunyi inside and made a shushing gesture. Zhou Baichen said seriously, "Uncle Master, don't worry. We will keep this a secret."

Hao Huashi nodded and left.

After returning to the palace and talking about it after dinner, everyone was shocked.

They all thought that the thief had stolen all the royal fortune. Could it be that there were victims among ordinary people? Yan Shirong said, "The Qinghe Cui family, whose ancestor was Ji Zi, also had the opportunity to inherit the State of Qi. Could it be because of this?"

Emperor Mingpei was holding Xinbao and talking, and he said casually: "If that's the case, then the ancestor of the Taiyuan Wang family was the prince of King Ling of Zhou, isn't that more appropriate?"

Yan Shirong thought as he said, "The Cui family originated from the royal family and has been prosperous for thousands of years. Although the branch in the capital is small, it is also the branch with the best fortune in the Cui family... So, did that thief use them to test his hand? After all, judging from the time, they should be the first to suffer misfortune. And the Taiyuan Wang family, although they also originated from the royal family, their fortune has not been the same since the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Is this the reason?"

Emperor Mingpei said: "Maybe."

Yan Qingshan asked, "Does he really feel that his luck has recovered in the past six months?"

Hao Huashi nodded: "Yes, this Cui Dunyi seems to be a very shrewd and meticulous person. If he says yes, then it must be true."

Yan Qingshan nodded.

Similarly, there is a possibility that his luck was taken away by someone else, but if the timing matches, it should be certain that it was the thief Taoist who did it. What's more, Xinbao's foresight can also prove that he finally found the thief Taoist.

Xinbao asked him, "Is his child seriously ill?"

Hao Huashi said: "It's not his child, it's Zhou Baichen's child. He just looks a little yellow, but it's not serious."

Xinbao nodded like a master: "Then I'll go take a look tomorrow."

Emperor Mingpei coughed heavily.

Xinbao blinked her big eyes, thinking she understood, and she hooked her little hand, leaned over to kiss him on the face.

Emperor Mingpeidi glanced at her sideways, and she had a look on her face that said "I really can't do anything about you", and then he kissed her two more times.

Emperor Mingpei was so fascinated by her little expression one moment, and the next moment he noticed that she wiped her mouth and continued to eat the apple.

She bit his face and left juice all over it. He hadn't wiped his face yet, but she wiped her mouth.

Emperor Mingpei frowned and continued to look at her.

Hao Huashi coughed twice and gestured to her from a distance. Tuanzi paused from biting the apple, looked at him with wide eyes, and then understood immediately.

But she felt that this time was different. Last time Ye Ye didn’t know, but this time, he was clearly here!

Then she asked tentatively: "Yeah, knowing and agreeing are almost the same, right?"

"Yes," Mingpeidi said, "It's almost the same for Xinbao."

She knew it! Tuanzi gave his apprentice a smug smile and continued to crunch the apple.

Hao Huashi covered his face helplessly: "It's about the same for Master, but... for Junior Master, it's very different!!"

Tuanzi paused in eating the apple again.

Then she glanced at Yuan Shenjue.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Seeing his wife's expression of dismay, Tuanzi, although he didn't know anything, still decisively said, "Huashi, do you want Xinbao to go and see it tomorrow?"

Hao Huashi coughed and said, "Is that what you mean?"

Tuanzi said righteously, "Do you know how dangerous it is out there? The big bad guy from the Red Gang hasn't been caught yet! Xinbao was captured by the bad guys last time. You should learn from your mistakes!"

Hao Huashi knew exactly what his young master meant: "But human life is at stake!!"

"Ah!" Tuanzi sighed and looked at Yeye with his little eyes: "Although you are right, Xinbao can't make the decision on this matter! It's no use asking Xinbao, you have to ask Yeye!! Xinbao will go only if Yeye lets him go, and won't go if Yeye doesn't let him go! Xinbao is a super obedient child!!"

Hao Huashi clasped his fists solemnly and said, "It is my fault for not considering things carefully! Your Majesty, can I ask for your permission to take Master out for a while?"

Everyone in the room watched the acting competition between the master and apprentice with a smile, and then Emperor Mingpei clapped his hands and said, "Great! The singing, reciting, acting and fighting are so exquisite! Enjoy!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Emperor Mingpei really can handle any play and any gag.

Everyone laughed for a while, and then Emperor Mingpei said, "If you really want to save her, just call him in. Who is he? How can he be worthy of being rescued by my little princess?"

Madam Lin suppressed her laughter and said, "It's just that I just got back. I'll call Yu Ru in to have a chat tomorrow. Ask her to bring the person in."

Emperor Mingpei nodded.

After he left, Madam Lin sent someone to inform them.

The next day, Yu Ru came in with Zhong Limin, Cui Dunyi and Zhou Changsheng.

While Madam Lin was talking to the Yu Ru couple, Hao Huashi directly brought Cui Dunyi and the other man to his side.

Bai Gusheng and Xue Xuanji also heard about it, and waited there after breakfast. While Xinbao was still asleep, Xue Xuanji felt his pulse and said after a while, "Could this be tuberculosis?"

Bai Gusheng was stunned for a moment, then thought about it again for a long time.

He is a wandering doctor who is good at treating injuries and poisons. He is not in the same field as Xue Xuanji and is not as good as him in this aspect.

After a long pause, he said, "It's possible. The symptoms are similar."

Xue Xuanji said: "If it is tuberculosis, then I really don't know how to treat it."

Bai Gusheng said: "I don't know either."
