Chapter 250, Senior and Junior Brothers Meet

"Hey, you are such a rare guest, why can't you still remember the Cai family!"

Shi Fuyin brought Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao to the Jiang'an Marquis Mansion, and handed over the jade pendant given by Governor Cai. The concierge quickly reported it. After a while, Cai Xiaohou met the three siblings in the living room.

Mr. Cai Xiaohou played with the jade pendant in his hand and looked at the three siblings: "How long has your family been back in Beijing?"

Shi Dinghao didn't want his two sisters to talk to his foreign husband, so he said without hesitation: "It's been almost three years."

Mr. Cai Xiaohou said "ha" and said quietly: "I have been back for so long. Is this the first time you have visited my house?"

Shi Dinghao chuckled: "Aren't we embarrassed?"

Mr. Cai Xiaohou looked at him: "Then why are you embarrassed now?"

Shi Dinghao said directly: "Little Marquis, my brother was framed by Zeng Meiren and imprisoned by the emperor. Life and death are at stake. How can we care so much?"

Mr. Cai Xiaohou glanced at Shi Fuyin and Shi Fuxin, who were both looking at him: "The emperor is saddened by the loss of his prince. This matter is not easy to handle."

Shi Fuxin directly stated the facts: "My brother can't harm Zeng Meiren, let alone the little prince."

Mr. Cai Xiaohou: "That's not necessarily true. Zeng Meiren's grandfather, the former Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was dismissed from office because of your family, right?"

"Your family has enmity with the Zeng family. Once Beauty Zeng gives birth to a dragon heir, the Zeng family may rise again. At that time, the Zeng family will definitely take revenge on you."

"In this case, the child in Meiren Zeng's belly will become a thorn in your family's side."

"Shi Dingxuan had the motive to harm the little prince."

Hearing these words, Shi Fuyin's three siblings frowned frequently, but all three of them understood that this was a thought that most people would have.

Shi Fuxin looked at the calm Mr. Cai Xiaohou, and understood that her brother's life was insignificant in the eyes of others, and did not want to continue wasting Zhou Xuan's time, so she said directly: "Master Cai, my brother saved your life back then. , Do you still recognize this favor?”

Mr. Cai Xiaohou looked at her with raised eyebrows, his eyes sparkling with interest.

Very good, direct enough.

After so many years, he can still remember the sly tone of this little girl holding her brother and her brother back to prevent them from sending him back to the military camp immediately.

This girl is like a wolf in sheep's clothing. She looks harmless to humans and animals, but she is actually the most thoughtful and calculating among the four siblings.

"I admit it, of course I have to admit it. If it weren't for you back then, I wouldn't be alive today." The word "you" has a certain meaning.

Shi Fuxin stood up and said, "Then please ask Mr. Marquis to save my brother."

Mr. Cai Xiaohou looked at the jade pendant in his hand: "Are you sure you want to use this favor on this matter?" When he saw the three siblings, he was about to express his stance, but raised his hand to interrupt, "As promised in advance, when it comes to the death of the little prince, I may not really be able to do it. Please help, don’t have high expectations.”

The three siblings looked grave, but they still nodded affirmatively.

"Thank you, little Marquis."

When they came out of Jiang'an Marquis Mansion, Shi Fuyin's sister and brother felt solemn because of Cai Xiaohou's ambiguous statement.

Shi Fuxin: "You can't just count on Mr. Cai Xiaohou."

Shi Fuyin nodded: "Let's go to the Zhao family again. If Brother Zhao can help me talk, the emperor may not be so angry with me."

Shi Fuxin looked at her sister and brother: "Sister, Jiulang, you go to Zhao's house, and I'll go to Zhan's house."

Upon hearing Zhanfu, Shi Fuyin and Shi Dinghao both looked at Shi Fuxin.

Shi Fuxin: "I've been in Beijing for so long, it's time for me to meet my senior brother." After a pause, "I calculated the time of Zeng Meiren's pregnancy. Logically speaking, the child in her belly should be full term this month. Even if you give birth prematurely, it won’t be too early.”

"How can a full-term child die so easily?"

Shi Dinghao said quickly: "When I was arrested, Doctor Zhan happened to be asking for a safe pulse on the emperor. Maybe he really knows something inside."

Shi Fuxin nodded, and then she and her sister and brother split into two groups. She went to Zhan Mansion, while Shi Fuyin and Shi Dinghao went to Zhao Mansion.

Compared with the pavilions, pavilions, rockery and pavilions of other mansions in the capital, the layout of the Zhan Mansion is much simpler, with various medicinal herbs and flowers planted everywhere in the huge yard.

Because she did not want to reveal her identity as a disciple of the old man Tianchi, Shi Fuxin did not go through the main entrance to ask for an audience, but quietly climbed over the wall and entered the Zhan Mansion.

Zhan Fei was not here, and Shi Fuxin couldn't move around the first time she came to the house, so she stayed in the living room and waited.

At the same time, at the entrance of the palace, Zhan Fei frowned and got on his carriage.

All the way back home, Zhan Fei's expression didn't improve.

"The old man is right, the palace is the most ruthless place in the world."

Zhan Fei sighed and entered the house. He stopped as soon as he entered the courtyard and looked at the living room with slightly focused eyes.

Someone!

The concierge didn't say anyone was visiting. It seemed like someone had broken into the room without permission.

Zhan Fei showed a look of disgust on his face.

People in the capital are so annoying. They think they have power and can give orders as they please, as if everyone has to listen to them.

Humph, it seems he is still too good-tempered.

Zhan Fei flipped his right hand, and a Guitch Pill was ejected into the living room.

The Bone Itch Pill was specially formulated by him to deal with dignitaries. It will not harm the body, but people who are contaminated with the powder will feel extremely uncomfortable. It feels like there are thousands of ants crawling and gnawing in the bones, and it is extremely itchy.

The detoxification method is to drink horse urine.

Zhan Fei was extremely happy when he thought about the frustrating scene where a poisoned person had to drink horse urine.

However.

"call out!"

Just as the pill flew into the living room, a leaf flew out and bounced the pill back quickly and accurately.

Zhan Fei quickly dodged to the side and avoided the pill.

"Is this how Dr. Zhan treats guests?"

Accompanied by a playful and pleasant female voice, Shi Fuxin, wearing a bright red skirt, appeared in the middle of the living room with her hands behind her back, smiling at Zhan Fei standing in the yard.

Seeing that the visitor was Shi Fuxin, Zhan Fei was surprised. Thinking of the pill that was hit, he snorted: "Is this the upbringing of the Wuchang Earl's Mansion, sneaking into other people's mansions at will?"

After saying that, he looked Shi Fuxin up and down, "You are still a girl."

Shi Fuxin raised her eyebrows: "Why, Dr. Zhan looks down on women?"

Zhan Fei glanced at her sideways and said nothing.

Shi Fuxin curled her lips, then smiled again, tilting her head to look at Zhan Fei: "Other girls are naturally not allowed to come and go in the Zhan Mansion at will, but I can."

Zhan Fei was amused and pointed at Shi Fuxin: "I saw it on the day Hongyanxiao opened. You are really thick-skinned. You come and go in my mansion at will. How dare you say that?"

Shi Fuxin also smiled, with deep dimples, and smiled sweetly and happily: "Of course I am embarrassed. You are my senior brother and I am your junior sister. Senior brother even helped me accept an apprentice. As a master, "My sister, if I come to the senior brother's house, I still need to be informed. Isn't it too polite?"

Zhan Fei was shocked by Shi Fuxin's words, pointing at Shi Fuxin and stammering: "What did you say? What. Senior brother and junior sister?"

Shi Fuxin smiled and walked out of the living room, came to Zhan Fei and bowed: "Wu Ya greets senior brother." She raised her eyes and smiled, "Senior brother, please take good care of junior sister in the future."

Zhan Fei seemed to have his tail stepped on, and took several steps back. Because he was too surprised, his face was stiff and he couldn't speak. He just stared at Shi Fuxin with bulging eyes.

Shi Fuxin still smiled: "Big Brother, Second Brother has told me a lot about you. I have wanted to see you for a long time. Now that I have seen you, I am very happy."

"Big Brother, are you also happy to see me, your junior sister?"

Zhan Fei felt that he needed to slow down, so he quickly walked into the living room and drank a whole bowl of tea before he calmed down. He looked at Shi Fuxin: "Are you really the new disciple accepted by the old man, my junior sister?"

Shi Fuxin smiled and nodded: "It's true!"

Zhan Fei shook his head with disbelief: "Impossible, if you are really a junior sister, how many years have you been apprenticed to me?" Years old? "

Shi Fuxin counted on her fingers: "I was exactly eight years old when I became your disciple."

Zhan Fei looked like he couldn't accept it: "How is it possible? !"

Shi Fuxin was puzzled: "Why is it impossible?"

Zhan Fei: "The old man wrote to me and told me that the reason he accepted another apprentice was because the little sister's medical skills were good and could expand Tianchi's medical skills. You are an eight-year-old child. Even if you know some medical skills, how much can you know?"

Shi Fuxin crossed her arms and raised her head with a proud face and said: "Big Brother, don't you know that there are child prodigies in the world?"

Zhan Fei looked at her, still unbelieving.

When Shi Fuxin saw it, she was worried about her brother and didn't want to continue arguing with him. She handed him the letter that Tianchi Old Man wrote when she left the northwest, asking Zhan Fei to take care of her.

"Big Brother, I am really your little sister."

"You should be happy to have such a cute and smart little sister like me."

Zhan Fei quickly read the letter. Even though he couldn't accept having such a little sister, he still believed it rationally.

Shi Fuxin pointed at the letter: "Big Brother, Master has told you to take good care of me. I am in trouble now. You have to help me."

Zhan Fei glanced at Shi Fuxin and refused angrily: "You are so capable, why do you need my help?"

Shi Fuxin hurriedly walked in front of him and said to him: "How can I be capable? I am just a weak woman who can't carry anything. How can I be as valued by the emperor as Big Brother."

Zhan Fei snorted: "You are still incapable? You gave the eldest prince a piece of Shennong Hall Guardian Order. Do you know how much trouble you have caused me?"

"Now The princes in front of the emperor all thought I was on the side of the eldest prince. "

Shi Fuxin stiffened her neck and said, "The eldest prince is the disciple you accepted for me. As his master, shouldn't I express my gratitude when he gets married? You can't blame me for this. If you didn't accept a disciple for me, there would be no future."

Zhan Fei was so angry that his beard flew: "Is this my fault?"

Shi Fuxin nodded in affirmation: "Yes, it's your fault."

Zhan Fei was really itching to do it. If it was against the thick-skinned second apprentice brother, all kinds of poisons would have been used, but looking at the little girl in front of him who could be his granddaughter, he had a headache.

He had no experience getting along with delicate little girls!

Shi Fuxin looked at Zhan Fei with some sadness: "Big Brother, don't you like me? But, Second Brother clearly said that I am very cute, he loves me very much, taught me Qinggong, and took me to run all over Tianshan."

"When I left the northwest, Second Brother told me that you, Big Brother, will definitely like me and protect me like him."

Seeing Shi Fuxin like this, Zhan Fei covered his head with his hands and didn't want to talk.

What's wrong with the old man? Even if he wants to accept an apprentice, he shouldn't accept such a young one!

Look, just a few words, it's as if he is bullying her.

What makes him even more tired is that he knows she is pretending.

Zhan Fei sat helplessly, and when he saw Shi Fuxin seemed to want to give him a tearful scene, he suddenly shuddered: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Shi Fuxin immediately smiled: "Big Brother, my brother was imprisoned by the emperor, can you help me save him?"

Zhan Fei's face turned bad when he heard about this: "Who do you think I am? How could the emperor who only respects me listen to me?"

Shi Fuxin was silent: "My brother would not impulsively provoke Concubine Zeng, he was framed by Concubine Zeng."

Zhan Fei did not comment and did not speak.

Shi Fuxin looked at him: "Big Brother, Concubine Zeng's dragon heir is full-term, it will not die so easily, there must be another reason for the little prince's death?"

Zhan Fei glanced at her, still did not speak, as a default.

Shi Fuxin continued: "Big Brother, I must save my brother, but the information we have is too one-sided. Even if we want to do something, there is nothing we can do."

"Big Brother, you are someone the emperor trusts, and you were by his side when the incident happened. Do you know something we don't know?"

Zhan Fei thought that every time he went to the palace to meet the emperor, Shi Dingxuan and Shi Dinghao would nod and greet him enthusiastically when they saw him. Before, he thought that the two brothers wanted to curry favor with him, but now that he thinks about it, it is probably because of the girl in front of him.

"Your brother is not wronged."

"Unfair, because the death of the little prince is related to the struggle in the harem."

"No, first, it's because of the feud between you and the Zeng family, and second, your brother is a chess piece chosen by the emperor himself. This is a danger and an opportunity for your brother."

After hearing this, Shi Fuxin looked at Zhan Fei with sparkling eyes: "The premature birth of Concubine Zeng and the death of the little prince were arranged by the emperor?"

Zhan Fei: "I don't know if it was the emperor's plan, but even if it wasn't, the emperor watched from the sidelines and even added fuel to the flames."

Shi Fuxin narrowed her eyes: "Ignoring the life and death of a prince, the emperor has a big plan." She raised her eyes and looked at Zhan Fei, "Who does the emperor want to deal with by taking advantage of the death of the little prince?"

Zhan Fei looked at Shi Fuxin. This little junior sister is very smart and understands it at once.

Shi Fuxin saw Zhan Fei was silent, so she went forward to flatter him: "Big Brother, my family is helpless in the capital, and we don't know anything about the palace. You have to help me."

Zhan Fei snorted, but still said: "The palace's affairs are easy to sort out once they are sorted out."

"The biggest person in the palace is definitely the emperor, and the emperor pays attention to the balance of all parties."

"After that, there is the queen party headed by the queen mother and the queen."

"In order to balance the power of the Wei family in the harem of the previous dynasty, the emperor supported the Liu family. There is Liu Gui in the palace. The concubine Liu is causing trouble for the queen, and the Liu family outside the palace is always competing with the Wei family. "

"Unfortunately, Concubine Liu and the Liu family are useless and cannot help the emperor suppress the Wei family, so the emperor has to take action himself sometimes."

"Finally, it's the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager has been out of touch with the world for many years."

"As for the others, they all rely on these people to live."

After listening to Zhan Fei's analysis, Shi Fuxin understood: "So, this time, the emperor went to the Empress Dowager and the Queen in the palace?"

Zhan Fei did not respond.

Shi Fuxin frowned: "What will happen to my brother in the end?"

Zhan Fei: "He will definitely be punished, but his life can be saved."

Shi Fuxin's heart was slightly relieved, knowing that Zhan Fei had revealed so much to her, so she didn't ask any more questions and bowed sincerely: "Thank you, senior brother."

Zhan Fei waved his hand and said with a sour face: "I'm telling you, you are not allowed to reveal our identities in front of outsiders."

Shi Fuxin didn't want to reveal it either, but still asked curiously: "Why?"

Zhan Fei snorted: "You are too troublesome!"

Shi Fuxin showed disapproval: "I'm actually quite well-behaved."

Zhan Fei 'hehe' twice: "What's the matter with Shennong Hall?"

Shi Fuxin rolled her eyes: "The head of Shennong Hall and I are good friends and confidants."

Zhan Fei looked at her: "Really?"

Shi Fuxin nodded like pounding garlic. She is her own friend and confidant, there is nothing wrong with this.
