Chapter 395: Dog bites dog, 1 mouth hair
Shu He: ...
There was a bouquet of flowers in a vase by the window, and Shu He picked it up and threw it at him.
"Who asked you to accept it? Get out!!"
At this time, Alai came up with two bowls of noodles and was almost hit by a flying vase.
Fortunately, Baili Moqing was extremely agile and caught the vase very calmly without even a petal falling off.
Alai was so frightened that his whole body froze and he could barely hold the tray in his hand.
"First, sir, why are they fighting again?..."
Shu He looked at the two bowls of noodles, walked over, took one, and threw it out of the north window. It was an empty alley near the river, often infested with stray dogs.
"Wang Wang Wang!"
Perhaps the chicken noodle soup smelled too good, and as soon as she threw it down, a small spotted dog came out.
Baili Moqing moved closer and looked at the spotted dog eating with such deliciousness that he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
"Alai! Show me out!" Still want to eat? Don't even think about drinking a sip of water!
After coldly ordering the guest to leave, she picked up another bowl of noodles, went to the dining table behind the screen, and started eating voraciously.
However, she felt a little full after eating too much, and almost vomited out the noodles she stuffed into her mouth!
I was quite hungry just now, but now I don’t want to eat at all!
Outside the Rare Medicine Pavilion, Baili Moqing looked out the window on the second floor with a somewhat resentful look in his eyes.
Everything was fine, why did you get angry all of a sudden?
This temper is too violent!
At this time, Xi Zhu had finished interrogating the assassins and had just arrived at West Street when he saw Baili Moqing being "invited" out by Alai.
Judging from the prince's expression, he seemed quite reluctant.
"Your Highness, were you kicked out?" How did he offend Miss He again?
Baili Moqing glared at him and flicked his sleeves. "Women are unreasonable! I came here on my own. Do I need her to scold me?"
Xi Zhu raised an eyebrow, a little embarrassed, "Your Highness, why do you seem so strange when you see Miss Shu He this time?"
He would never have said such shameless words in the past!
Baili Moqing looked at him coldly, "You want to keep Nanqi company, right?"
Xi Zhu quickly shook his head. "Oh, right, the Jiangdong Army sent back a message saying that Nanqi got lucky and killed the Thirteenth Prince of Yunlai Kingdom who came to supervise the battle. Now that the Yunlai Kingdom has reorganized its army, the northeastern border is temporarily stable."
"Yun Xianggao? Dead?" Isn't that the youngest son that the Emperor of Yunlai Kingdom loved the most?
Baili Moqing frowned, feeling that there was a hint of conspiracy at this moment.
"Send someone to investigate the situation in Yunlai's country, paying special attention to Yun Gaofei and Yun Gaoyi."
"Also, send a message to Nanqi. Border patrols must not be relaxed, especially during these days. Additional personnel must be deployed, and patrol schedules and plans must be changed every three days."
Xi Zhu also straightened his expression, sensing something unusual. "Your Highness, do you think this is due to civil unrest within Yunlai? Or is Yunlai Kingdom perhaps making a bigger move?"
Baili Moqing did not answer, but according to his guess, Yunlai Kingdom would probably make bigger moves in the future.
"Let's wait and see." These were just his guesses, and they needed intelligence to support them.
"By the way, I asked you to find the assassin's identity. Did you find it?"
Bei Ji replied, "I found out, it's from the Xia family."
Baili Moqing's face was now filled with a hint of indifference. "Xia's Pharmacy? Xia Longze's business is truly unpresentable!"
Not only am I not as good as others in medical skills, I am also not as good as others in being a human being!
Xi Zhu added, "The assassin said it wasn't Xia Longze who gave the order, it was Xia Wen Ze."
Baili Moqing snorted coldly, "If Xia Longze doesn't agree, how could Xia Wenze make these little moves one after another?"
Xi Zhu agreed. Xia Longze had always been in charge of the Xia Pharmacy. Without his approval, Xia Wen Ze would never dare to do such a thing!
"Go and make arrangements. Xia's Pharmacy, from today onwards, do not show up in Kyoto anymore!"
Xizhu agreed, not being very surprised, but rather feeling that it was expected.
Anyone who dares to touch the prince will surely suffer a bad end!
When Jiang Dongping arrived at Prince Li's mansion, he brought good news.
"Liu Xi was beaten with a stick by the emperor! Thirty strokes of the stick!" Jiang Dongping put the grapes into his mouth and laughed happily.
"How stinky must your aunt's face be when she receives the imperial edict?"
Baili Moqing said indifferently, "Why are you so happy?"
It's not something strange.
Seeing his nonchalant look, Jiang Dongping dropped the grapes and came closer. "Did you guess that Liu Xi would be punished a long time ago?"
Baili Moqing was drawing something on a huge white paper, which looked like a topographic map.
"The Grand Tutor has personally taught him a lesson. How could our Emperor remain indifferent?"
"You don't really think that the residence of a first-rank official is so easy to surround, do you?"
Jiang Dongping's eyes turned cleverly, and he asked, "Is the emperor doing this to save your face, or to appease the Grand Tutor?"
Baili Moqing glanced at him and chuckled, "Can't it be both?"
"Killing two birds with one stone?" Jiang Dongping exclaimed, "Tsk tsk tsk, he is indeed the emperor. This method is really powerful!"
"We can only blame my aunt and the fourth brother for being too anxious." He was eager to give others a handle.
"After all, you are the smartest!" Jiang Dongping sat on the armchair in the side hall, swinging his long legs with a cynical look on his face.
"The fourth, eighth, and ninth brothers each had their own plans, and they thought they were flawless. But in the end, you, an outsider, saw everything clearly."
"With a few simple tricks, they'll fight each other, while you remain safe and sound, without getting stained by any dirt."
Baili Moqing didn't say anything and just painted silently.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Dongping couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Baili Moqing seems to be much more powerful than he was five years ago!
Even my father said that he is no longer the King of Dongli from five years ago, and this Kyoto is destined to be turned upside down by him.
"By the way, what are you going to do about the second brother?"
After hearing this, Baili Moqing stopped writing.
"Have you figured out what happened back then?"
"Who is behind killing Lao Er and destroying you?"
"Second brother, how did you die?"
"Also, what was the hidden meaning behind those words he said to Zhu Heng back then?"
Putting down the pen in his hand, Baili Moqing asked Jiang Dongping, "Who do you think is the real culprit behind Lao Er's death?"
"Who else could it be?"
"The Second Prince had just entered the Eastern Palace and, although he had not yet been named Crown Prince, who in the court and the country was not convinced of his loyalty? Those young officials who wanted to realize their ambitions for Tianqi were even more loyal followers of the Second Prince!"
"Back then, rumors were circulating that the crown prince position would be decided soon!"
"At that time, who else could sit still except you?"
"Old Four and Old Nine are the most active! Who else could be the murderer besides them?"
Baili Moqing sat down at the tea table and started to make tea.
"They are not the only ones who are afraid of the second brother!"
Not just them? Jiang Dongping was puzzled, "Who else? Lao Ba?"
"The annual royal hunt is coming up, right?"
Jiang Dongping nodded, "The imperial decree has been issued today. We will set off for the Jingshan Royal Hunting Ground in fifteen days."
Fifteen days should be enough.
"The King of Western Chu hasn't been out for many years. Let's go together this year."
"When the time comes, I might need Uncle Lei's help."
"What? Are you planning to do something big on the hunting grounds?"
After brewing the tea, he poured a cup for Jiang Dongping. Seeing that he drank it in one gulp without minding the heat, Baili Moqing's eyes showed a bit of helplessness.
"It's just to let the truth of five years ago come to light before the world."
As for what the result would be, that was not his concern.
"By the way, I've transferred Zhang Zhiyi back to Beijing. Let him follow you first. After things here are over, let him go with you to the Jiangdong Army."
Jiang Dongping frowned and poured himself some tea. "Zhang Zhiyi? That name sounds familiar."
"Who is it? They actually asked you to arrange it yourself!"
After hearing his last words, Baili Moqing looked up at him in disbelief.
At this time, Xizhu walked in.
He couldn't help laughing when he heard that and said, "Who else could it be? Your uncle, the prince!"
