Chapter 9 chapter Five

At this moment, Duke Di secretly groaned in his heart.Not only did he not understand what was happening in front of him, but he didn't want to ask too many questions, and his mind was at a loss.Obviously, this play must be led by the elusive Zou Liwei. He arranged all of this, and the traps were dense, and he only caught himself to get through.Up to now, I am still kept in the dark, I don't know who wants to see him, ask him for something, or want to harm him, so he was led by the nose in a dazed way into this heavily guarded and mysterious place. Measured Bishui Palace.He knows that the road has been cut off, and there will be a drama full of contradictions for him to play, whether it is bad or good, unpredictable.Another Eunuch Lei appeared in front of him and insisted on seeing him, so what happened to the third princess' entourage, Mammy?What kind of disease did she suffer from, and she insisted on asking me to treat her, but she was so sneaky that she was afraid of seeing people.Di Gonggong was full of thoughts and doubts, and suddenly he heard the fat eunuch shout: "Kneel down and wait for the order." Di Gong hurriedly knelt down, and he knew that he had arrived in front of Lei Eunuch's Xingzhai gate.

The fat eunuch went in to report, and then came out the door shortly: "Mr. Lei summoned Liang Da." Di Gong frowned and walked into the Yazhai with lowered hands, then knelt down again: "Please rest assured, Mr. Lei." "Forget it, rabbit, raise your head." Eunuch Lei's voice was slender and crisp, not majestic. Di Gong raised his head, and saw that this Yazhai was not rich and luxurious, but just like a quiet study.The courtyard is empty and the windows are bright. A shaft of famous people's landscape hangs down in the middle, a pair of gold sprinkled couplets on each side, a slender red sandalwood flower stand under the window, and an ancient porcelain vase with several crabapple sticks in the vase.Beside the flower stand stands a large book case, on which are the four treasures of the study, and letters and picture scrolls are piled up in one corner.There is a unicorn monster lying next to the door, and the monster's seven orifices spit out curling cigarettes, filling the room with fragrance.Outside the pavilion, the flowers and trees are scattered, the birds are chirping, and the atmosphere is very elegant.

Eunuch Lei has a slender body, wearing a shiny soft yellow-grade palace gown, a thin and sallow face under a golden crown carved with pearls, and a silver-white beard that is sparse and uneven.Although he is in his twilight years and in a state of dragon bell, he still has an aggressive power and dignity, which makes people awe-inspiring. "There are already four imperial doctors in the palace, why did Wang Momo go all the way to invite you into the palace?" Eunuch Lei asked. Di Gong replied anxiously: "When it comes to the profundity of medical knowledge, it is natural that a small witch sees a big witch. How can a small doctor dare to presume? It must be the recommendation of Guo Erye, and Wang Momo praised the little doctor like this. Back then, Guo Erye I suffered from asthma, and after taking a prescription from a small doctor, I was cured. Now I heard that Grandma Wang also suffered from asthma, and I have taken several medicines, but it has not worked."

"Well, well, it was recommended by Second Master Guo. So, there must be something strange about the medicine in Dr. Liang's gourd." Eunuch Lei said with his eyes closed. "Xiaoyi's pills are nothing more than common medicines such as pinellia, Polygala, ephedra, and Chuanbei. Eunuch Lei giggled: "Everyone will change their tricks, but they are ingeniously different. - Dr. Liang has a good opinion, a good opinion. But don't be self-defeating. It's not easy to get into this Jinyu Bridge, and it's probably even more difficult to get out of the Jinyu Bridge. Mrs. Liang is the best of all." , so I can do it myself, I don’t need to give you any more details.”

Di Gong said "Wei Wei", and felt even more surprised in his heart.Although the eunuch Lei had his eyes closed, he seemed to be able to understand the situation by himself, and his words did not contain a sense of admonishment. Eunuch Lei opened his eyes, looked at Di Gong with a pleasant face, and patted the back of the chair.The fat eunuch entered immediately. "Send Dr. Liang across the Jinyu Bridge to treat Wang Momo." Then he turned his head and said to Di Gong with a smile, "I hope Wang Momo will be cured as soon as he takes the medicine, so that Doctor Liang won't have to come back here again." After all, he flicked his sleeves again and again.

Di Gong hurriedly thanked him and stood up. Eunuch Lei had already leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes. The fat eunuch led Di Gong back to the Jinyu Bridge, and sang to the girl: "Miss, change the sedan chair, and lead Doctor Liang into the inner palace." The girl and Di Gongchen sat in two light sedan chairs covered in yellow silk and purple, and carried them across the golden jade bridge carved with dragons and phoenixes and inlaid with gold ornaments, and meandered towards an exquisite and unique palace at the end of the green waves. In front of the palace, maids and maidservants were waiting with lanterns. The girl rolled up the curtain of the sedan chair and directed the sedan chair to turn into a corner door among the emerald clusters.Inside the corner gate, two rows of gauze lamps are arranged, shining like daylight, and eight officials and eunuchs stand and wait.The girl leads Di Gong to get off the sedan chair, walks through the corridors and pavilions, and beats around the bush.He hurried towards the inner hall.In a short time, he came to a bedroom with elegant furnishings and strong fragrance. A colorful curtain hung from the back wall of the bedroom to cover the gums.A porcelain drum is placed in front of the gums, which can be used as a stool.

"Mother, Dr. Liang is here." The girl instructed Duke Di to sit down on the porcelain drum in front of his gums. The curtain moved slightly, and a round wrist was stretched out, on which was a pure white jade bracelet.Just as Di Gong was about to stretch out two fingers to feel the pulse, he saw that the wrist retracted and pressed a mechanism on the wall of the gums, and the mirror frame on the wall of the bed immediately moved, revealing a secret door behind the bed. "Come in!" said an old woman's voice. Di Gong was so astonished that he didn't have time to think, he hurried into the secret door, and suddenly heard a "pop" behind him, and the secret door closed.A ray of light slowly flashed in front of my eyes, and a resplendent palace was a dozen steps away.In the hall, a beautiful girl is sitting and reading a book, dignified, luxurious and glamorous.Di Gong thought, that woman must be the third princess, so he hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, not daring to look up.

"Di Renjie is dead. The situation is critical at this time and here, and I would like to accept the bed ceremony. I have called you today, but I have one request. This matter is my life and family. I hope that Di Qingyi will obey his orders and pull me out of the water and fire." middle." Duke Di was shocked, raised his eyes to look up at the third princess, and slowly stood up.Seeing the three princesses, Chunshan and Qiushui are sad, and their appearance is shrouded in a heavy cloud. "Her Royal Highness has any entrustments, and I eagerly look forward to your instructions. Even though my minister Di Renjie is going through fire and water, he will die."

"Di Qing is sitting down, let me explain in detail. At midnight two days ago, I watched the moon in the gazebo outside the attic of the palace. Under the gazebo is the Daqing River. The moon is reflected in the water, and the silver waves are sparkling. The first-class beauty in the world. The pavilion is at the corner of the palace wall about ten feet above the river. "Because I was greedy to look at the moonlight, I wanted to stretch my head out of the pavilion to look out several times, so I took off the jade beads worn around my neck and put them on the tea table outside the pavilion. Unexpectedly, they were lost in a blink of an eye. Di Qing should know. The jade beads The string was bestowed by the father, and it is very precious. It was originally a tribute from the Persian king, and it is composed of eighty-four crystal clear jade beads of uniform size, and its price is incomparable."

Di Gong glanced at the third princess and asked, "Why did Your Highness take the jade bead string off her neck?" The third princess replied: "I accidentally dropped a golden earring into the river when I stretched out my head to look at the scenery outside the pavilion. Since then, I have been careful and picked off the jade beads in advance every time I admire the moon. Who knows that this time it disappeared without a trace. , presumably it was stolen." "I wonder if the princess has conducted a strict search in the palace?" Duke Di asked again. That night, all the eunuchs and palace maids who were about to be sent to the inner palace were searched, but there was no trace of the jade bead string.I thought that this jade bead string must have been stolen by someone outside the palace. The criminals must have risked their lives to come here by boat, hiding in the shade under the palace wall, and climbing up the palace wall to spy on them at midnight when they were on guard. When I was watching the moon in the gazebo and didn't notice, I boldly stole away. ——Recruiting you today is to hug Buddha's feet. Wangqing used means to investigate secretly, capture the villain, and chase out the original thing, so as to relieve my urgent need. "

Di Gong pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness, this matter has been done without a trace, without leaving a trace, it must be a master on the beam. Wait for the humble servant to calmly keep it, and take it slowly. Don't make a sudden announcement. Reverse the overall situation." The third princess frowned and said, "I don't know, Di Qing. To celebrate my father's birthday, I will leave for the capital the next day. If I can't find the jade bead string in these two days, how can I answer my father's question on my birthday? According to the etiquette, jade bead strings must be worn as usual. Therefore, I am very anxious." Di Gong was secretly surprised, as expected, it was a heavy burden. The third princess said again: "I hope that Di Qing will investigate this matter secretly. No one inside or outside the Bishui Palace will know that I entrust the investigation to you. Once you find the thief and recover the beads, you can reveal your real surname. It will be returned as soon as you come to the palace to pay homage in public. You tear the seam of the collar at this moment." Duke Di tore open the neckline of his robe, and the third princess folded a piece of yellow silk and stuffed it into the neckline, and quickly sewed it up with a needle and thread. "The yellow silk has my own handwriting. Once the jade beads are retrieved, no one will dare to stop you from entering the palace in a sedan chair based on the yellow silk. Di Qing, my life and future are all in Qiao's hands today." , don't sloppy and perfunctory, let me down. Now you can go out of the palace." He couldn't help sighing frequently. Notes:
