Chapter 438 Didn’t he check the almanac before going out today?

Dugu Tianxin was the closest one, with a bunch of people behind him, and he had nowhere to retreat or avoid: "..."

grass……

Didn’t he check the almanac before going out today?

How can I be so unlucky?

Being peed on?

Dugu Tianxin has been in control of government for many years and has been proud all his life, but he has never suffered such humiliation. He wished he could strangle Lord Shi to death.

He was about to curse, but Di Jiang looked at the officials who kept retreating to get away from Lord Shi, and said first: "Come here, come here quickly, take Lord Shi to the Imperial Hospital and let the imperial physician take a look at him. What's wrong with him?"

"Resign."

All the ministers dispersed.

What happened to Lord Shi? Half an hour later, everyone inside and outside the court knew about it, and the news spread very quickly. Why?

Because Lord Shi is dead.

Lord Shi died before he was carried to the Imperial Hospital for diagnosis and medication by the imperial physician.

As for the reason for his death, the imperial physician examined Lord Shi's body and finally came to the conclusion that Lord Shi was bitten by a dog and contracted a disease that occurred suddenly. In addition, he was old and his body could not withstand the stress, so he died suddenly.

Along with the death of Lord Shi, the fact that Lord Shi sent people to various households in the middle of the night to steal Shoukang Pills was also exposed.

Because of this incident, many officials did not go to pay their respects to Lord Shi, and some even made things difficult for Lord Shi's son and grandson. The Shi family's reputation was completely ruined, and Lord Shi also lost his integrity in his later years.

In just a few days, the Shi family's status in the officialdom plummeted and they were burdened with all kinds of infamy.

When people heard about the Shi family, they would talk about it, or make sarcastic remarks about the fact that Lord Shi sent someone to steal medicine.

The root of all these things was that Lord Shi spoke rudely to Jiujiu and did not get Jiujiu's Shoukang Pills.

After seeing what happened to Lord Shi, the remaining ministers no longer dared to try to get Shoukang Pills. They all secretly envied and envied those who possessed Shoukang Pills.

.

Jiujiu really didn't expect that a piece of medicine she took would cause such a big thing.

At this moment, Jiujiu, the eldest prince, and Feng Wenjin were sitting in the hexagonal pavilion in the imperial garden, playing chess and discussing this matter.

The eldest prince was smart and wise for once. He looked at the chessboard in front of him and the chess pieces in Mosuo's hand and said, "Humans, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven. Why force it?"

"Look at what happened in the end? His life span was not extended, but he brought about his own death."

"So what if there's no Shoukang Pill?"

"I'm still alive and well."

"Do you really need that thing?"

"well……"

After hearing this, Jiujiu made a move and asked the eldest prince, "Brother, do you want this medicine?"

"It's natural to want it." The eldest prince said generously, "But it doesn't matter whether I have it or not. If I get it, I'm lucky. If I lose it, it's my fate. I won't force it."

Jiujiu laughed and said, "Brother, what you said seems to be quite philosophical."

【It is true that when a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes. 】

【The older brother has become much more mature and stable. 】

【I also have my own insights. 】

He has grown up.

The eldest prince felt quite relieved when he heard Jiujiu's words.

The little girl is becoming more and more talkative. It's not in vain that I love her.

"Jiujiu, my elder brother will be going back to Xichu in a few days. Shall we go back together?" The eldest prince said, "Father misses you, and so does Mother."

"Okay." Jiujiu agreed.

"And..." The eldest prince spoke of this matter hesitantly and hesitantly. He didn't seem very straightforward, which was totally inconsistent with his character.

"Anything else?" Jiujiu asked.

"My elder brother and your elder sister-in-law both want a daughter. Jiujiu, can you help?" said the eldest prince.

"Dad, don't you like me?" Feng Wenjin, who was playing with crickets nearby, suddenly asked unhappily.

"You kid, you will piss me off to death sooner or later." The eldest prince said unhappily.

Over the years, he and his son have been making a lot of noise and fighting at home every day, which really exhausted him.

Now he just wants a little cotton jacket to warm his heart.

Feng Wenjin didn't notice the eldest prince's opinion of him at all. While teasing the cricket, he said shockingly: "If you're so angry, ask mother to find me a stepfather."

"As long as mom doesn't change, that's fine."

"Anyone can be Dad." He was used to being beaten and scolded by his father every day.

"What are you talking about, you little brat?" The eldest prince was so angry that he immediately took off his boots and smashed them on Feng Wenjin's head.

After Feng Wenjin dodged, she made a nasty face at the eldest prince and ran away before the eldest prince exploded.

The eldest prince: “…”

Jiujiu: “…”

Jin'er is really naughty.

It's not just ordinary naughty and noisy.

It's very hard for my eldest brother to be a father.

Jiujiu couldn't help but feel sympathy.

"Big brother, don't be angry." Jiujiu persuaded: "Jin'er is still young and naive. When he grows up and becomes sensible, he won't talk back to you anymore."

"Everyone was saying this five years ago."

“Now five years later, it’s still the same.”

"When he's in his seventies or eighties, he'll probably be more sensible and stop making me angry."

The eldest prince said this, shaking his head repeatedly. He had no hope at all that Feng Wenjin would become sensible.

“…”

Five days later, Jiujiu and the eldest prince reluctantly bid farewell to Dijiang and returned to Xichu.

After they returned, before they had time to reminisce with their families, they heard some bad news.

The Thirteen Zhaoli Tribes seem to have recently developed rebellious intentions and are waiting for an opportunity to declare war on Western Chu.

The crown prince, no, the crown prince ascended the throne as the new emperor not long ago, and Emperor Zhaoning abdicated.

The new emperor, as well as the tenth and eleventh brothers went to check it out, but they suddenly disappeared and there was no news from them. It was as if they had never been involved in the Thirteen Tribes of Zhaoli. There was no news at all.

Jiujiu was surprised, "How could this happen?"

Emperor Zhaoning had just retired and was now forced to come out to take charge of the overall situation. At this moment, he looked at the pile of memorials in front of him with a headache and said helplessly, "I don't know."

"I guess something unexpected happened."

"I am now wondering, what should I do?"

Emperor Zhaoning had originally thought that he would play chess with Jiujiu now that she was back, and then go out to relax, but now, there was no chance at all.

He was extremely anxious and had a lot on his mind.

The Thirteenth Prince took the initiative to stand up and said, "Father, I ask for your permission to go and look for Your Majesty, as well as the Tenth Prince, the Eleventh Prince and the others."

The Tenth and Eleventh Brothers have been close friends with the Thirteenth Brother since they were young. Now that something has happened to them, the Thirteenth Brother really has no choice but to do nothing. He is very anxious and he wishes he could go to the Thirteenth Division of Zhaoli to find his two imperial brothers right away.

Emperor Zhaoning looked at the Thirteenth Prince with satisfaction. The Thirteenth Prince had grown up, but he should not act impulsively.

He looked at Jiujiu, "Jiujiu, what do you think about this?"

"What should we do?"

"Do you have any suggestions?"
