Chapter 183 Fishing in troubled waters
Luo Dai came and went in a hurry, only stayed in the Royal Garden for one day, and brought Xiao Fangzi back to the palace after dark.
It's as if the white girl voted for him.Baitang pursed her mouth, looking at the bruises on her body with displeasure.
There are so many beautiful girls in the palace, all of them are his concubines, maybe Luo Dai favors them when he is not in the palace.
It's not that Baitang doesn't believe in Luo Dai, but that the harem is very deep, and there are all kinds of methods for framing and fighting for favor.
Thinking of this, Baitang was taken aback again.These words are very familiar, he seems to have heard someone say it, and who it is, why can't he remember it.
Another day later, Baitang specially found Xiao A, even if Luo Dai refused to talk about the situation in the palace, he has a powerful intelligence agency here, so don't look down on him.
As soon as Xiao A saw Baitang, she burst into tears.
It was licked, it was licked by the husky, and its pristine body was defiled.
Qiu'er: "Wow, woof, woof~~" Tangtang, I tried this jade pendant, and it doesn't taste good.
Baitang, who understood Qiu'er's heart, was silent for three seconds, feeling a little sorry for little A.
He untied the jade pendant from Husky's neck and washed it with water.
"Little A, tell me what's going on in the palace now." Baitang abruptly changed the subject.
As it was related to his job, Little A was still very dedicated. He immediately inspected the palace and told everything that had happened in the past few days.
Baitang knew that Prince Zhuang's rebellion was a very serious matter. Luo Dai came to see him the day before, and in order to stabilize him and the Queen Mother, he downplayed the matter, but he did not expect that the situation has become so serious now.
Half of the people in the harem were Prince Zhuang's people, especially Ma Aoshan who took the lead in stirring up the wind and rain, and the harem was full of wailing.
In the previous dynasty, the government orders issued by Luo Dai were also obstructed, and there were even natural disasters. There have been rumors among the people that this is a warning from the heavens to the royal family, and the current emperor cannot satisfy the heavens.
But Baitang, who has the perspective of God, saw that all this was caused by Prince Zhuang.
Explosives are used to blow up the mountain and guide the river to flow backwards. This is the so-called "natural disaster". What kind of natural disaster is obviously a man-made disaster.
Most importantly, he saw Prince Zhuang's conspiracy.
Prince Zhuang came out of the imperial mausoleum a long time ago and was hiding outside the capital, waiting for everything to be ready in a few days before raising the flag to force the palace.
Isn't Ah Dai very dangerous!
Baitang couldn't sit still anymore, no, he has to go back to the palace.
Going back to the palace with great fanfare is definitely not an option, the Queen Mother was the first to forbid him not to go back.
If you don't know how to go, then sneak away.
On a sunny morning, Baitang changed his habit of staying in bed early and got up early, went to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, then called the palace people in the other garden to play hide-and-seek again.
"Your Majesty, don't climb the tree again this time. If the Emperor finds out, he will definitely peel off the skins of the servants..." The palace people were all warned by Luo Dai, and the Empress was strictly forbidden to do dangerous behavior.
Baitang agreed, and seemed to hide, but in fact, he found the small hole he had found by playing hide-and-seek before, that is, the dog hole, and crawled out on his stomach.
Who would have thought that the dignified queen would actually go into a dog's hole.
Just as the palace people started to search, a group of people suddenly surrounded the Royal Garden.
It was Prince Zhuang's people who came, and they first controlled Luo Dai's wife and mother to increase their bargaining chips.
After the queen mother learned about it, she quickly came out of the garden, and the leader didn't greet her, but she didn't act violent, but said in a contemptuous tone, "Prince Zhuang has an order, and I also ask the empress dowager and His Royal Highness to stay in the other garden in peace. , otherwise the sword and the gun have no eyes, and there is no way to tell what happened."
After finishing speaking, he only surrounded the outside of the other garden, and did not forcefully break in to arrest people.This gave Baitang a chance to escape.
"This, this..." The Queen Mother trembled angrily.
Nanny Jin supported her and said, "Calm down, queen mother, have you forgotten what the emperor said? You and the queen are important."
By the way, Tangtang, Tangtang must be very worried after such a big incident happened.
The queen mother hurried back, but Baitang was nowhere to be seen.The palace people said that the queen was going to play hide-and-seek with them, and she had already hidden it, and she probably didn't know the outside news yet.
It's okay not to know.Luo Dai handed him over to her, but he couldn't let Baitang have an accident in her hands.
"Find the queen, let the queen see me, and say that the Ai family misses him, and you are not allowed to talk about the things surrounding the outside. Whoever dares to talk nonsense to the queen, the Ai family will pull out his tongue." The queen mother was very angry. , turned around and went back to the garden to wait for Baitang to come over.
The palace people speeded up their search for Baitang, but this time they didn't dare to make too much noise, for fear that they would hear someone barging in from outside.
Baitang, who had already left the Bieyuan, naturally didn't know what happened in the Bieyuan. He hugged a puppy and walked towards the northeast.
But relying on footwork alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to get there in a day and a night, so Xiao A suggested that Baitang hire a carriage.
According to Little A's instruction, Baitang came to the town closest to Bieyuan, took off his gorgeous coat and pawned money, bought another unremarkable dress, and covered his appearance with soot.
According to Xiao A's words, if Baitang appeared in his original form and met someone with bad intentions, let alone go back to the palace, he might be sold to a romantic place in the capital.
"It's not as exaggerated as what you said." Baitang sat in the carriage, communicating with little A with his spiritual sense.
"The host has its own beauty without knowing it." Xiao A said.
The small town is not too far from the capital city, and it only took half a day to get there by hiring a carriage.
When he was outside the capital, Bai Tang realized that Prince Zhuang's large army had already arrived outside the capital, so wouldn't it be far from the palace?
Bai Tang was angry with those who wanted to oppose Luo Dai, so he couldn't help but take a few extra glances when queuing up to enter the city.
"What are you looking at, come here!" A soldier pointed at Baitang in a rough voice, telling him to come out.
"Jun, Mr. Jun..." Baitang acted scared, lowering his head obsequiously.
"Stop talking nonsense, look up."
The soldier suddenly shouted loudly, frightening Baitang's whole body.
He raised his head tremblingly, and what he saw was a face as black as soot, and even the red mole between the eyebrows that represented his brother was not very obvious.
"What were you looking at just now?"
"No, I haven't seen anything, I just think military men are so mighty, I'm from the countryside, I haven't seen them before..."
Bai Tang's words showed the country people's ignorance to the fullest, and also made those bandit-like soldiers feel comfortable in flattering him, which made Bai Tang feel much more pleasing to the eye.
"All right, the boy can talk." The soldier liked Baitang, but saw him unfamiliar, it happened that there was still a lack of someone for the action tomorrow, and this young man was clever.
"You're lucky, you're going to enjoy yourself." The soldier couldn't help but push Baitang to the back.
Bai Tang was taken to the logistics with a dazed expression, and was thrown away by a set of eunuch's clothes in the palace. Only then did he realize that he was really lucky.
The name is called the little eunuch who burns fire in the imperial dining room, but in fact it was Prince Zhuang who stuffed his own people into the palace, and their task was to poison the food in the imperial dining room.
Bai Tang was worried that he would not be able to enter the palace, and this was the first time he had seen the good thing of dozing off and sending pillows to the door.
Those who look crooked and cracked can't enter the palace, otherwise they will be easily seen as not from the palace.
Baitang was still worried about whether he would be asked to take a shower or something, if that was the case, his crude disguise would not be able to hold up.
Unexpectedly, good luck comes again and again.Taking advantage of this hour, the palace gate will open a small door for people to go out to take out the trash, so they can take the opportunity to sneak in.
Baitang mixed in with the crowd, some of them were randomly caught to make up the number, such as Baitang, with a nervous face, looking around non-stop, the palace, the ancestors burned incense for eight lifetimes to enter once, but there are more It was fear. They were honest and honest peasants. A group of soldiers rushed into the village to arrest the strong men for no reason. Poison, will be beheaded.
Some of them were originally trained by Prince Zhuang, they were very familiar with the palace rules and so on, and they were calm and composed. If they hadn't been in the rebel army, they would have thought they were really palace servants who had been working in the palace for a long time.
A group of people entered in batches, and after entering the palace, they were taken away by themselves, and the number gradually decreased.
Fortunately, Baitang was taken to the imperial dining room, where he accepted the job as a fireman.
"Hurry up, the nobles will come to collect the case later, if it's late, you don't want your monthly money for this month." An old eunuch spoke in a thin and shrill voice, which was very unpleasant.
Being watched closely, Baitang could only lower his head and stuff firewood into the stove, and there were many little eunuchs around him who didn't say a word, just focused on their work.
In the imperial dining room, the imperial cook is in place, oiling and serving dishes, and the whole imperial dining room is filled with the smell of delicious food.
It was getting late, all the palaces sent people to pick up the dishes ordered today, Baitang was already hungry, and he only ate a steamed stuffed bun and a bowl of porridge in the morning, if he had known, he would have eaten more.
The husky has been hiding in Baitang's clothes, before entering the imperial dining room, Baitang was at the end of the line, and let the husky go away while everyone was not looking.
Qiu'er knew the way to the palace, and asked him to find Luo Dai, so Luo Dai must be careful.
Baitang was surprised, didn't he tell them to poison them, why didn't they give them poison?
While distributing steamed buns for them to eat, he quietly pulled the people who came with him and asked, "Aren't we here to do the mission, but we didn't see anything like that..."
Baitang didn't directly call names, but that person understood what Baitang meant.
He looked at Baitang's face that had been baked by the fire and said, "You don't understand that, it's the firewood."
It turned out that Prince Zhuang's people had already tampered with the water. Just testing the water is no problem, but if this special kind of firewood is used for cooking, the water will produce toxins, not even the silver needle can't detect it. come out.
The matter of poisoning should be said by the confidant, so how could there be outsiders? Who knows if someone is involved in it.
As long as Baitang and the others finish the work of lighting the fire, they have completed the task. Even if Luo Dai finds out, he will order these people to be hacked to death, and he will not bring his confidants into it. It is really a good trick.
"You, how did you know?" Baitang remembered that this person was pulled in after him.
The man said, "I used to burn firewood for a living on the mountain, so I know the characteristics of some trees." He also guessed, when he saw that this kind of branch was used as firewood, the other poison could only be water.
For the rest, the man didn't dare to say more, for fear that if he said too much, people would hear him, and he would die and go home.
