Chapter VI
The capital, the courtyard where the study outside the prince's mansion is located.
At this time, the sky began to turn white, and the huge courtyard was very quiet, and only the footsteps of the patrol guards could be faintly heard in the distance.
The capital in mid-February was still cold, but Meng Ru, the waiter who was guarding the door of the outer study, was already so nervous that he was sweating.
He tried not to put an anxious expression on his face, but he kept pacing back and forth in front of the door, looking at the sky from time to time, and then at the direction of the courtyard gate.
...... It's all this hour, when will "that person" arrive?
Next to Meng Ru stood a twelve- or thirteen-year-old blue-shirted waiter, who was a disciple accepted by Meng Ru two years ago, called Haixing.
Xiao Haixing couldn't see his master tossing the soles of his shoes while pretending to be nothing, and deliberately lowered his voice, which seemed clearer because the surroundings were too quiet:
"Master, I'll keep this place in my hands. ”
He pointed to the house again, "You can go inside." ”
Xiao Haixing felt that since more than half a month ago, his master had become in a trance and anxious all day long.
At first, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was reprimanded by the saint in public at the court meeting more than half a month ago, His Royal Highness was sick the next day, and then the outer study was subjected to the seedlings, either changing things every day, or coming to guests every day.
Xiao Haixing thought that no matter how much anger he had, he would be more or less out of it for half a month--his master should always be normal after sending it--he didn't expect his master to become more and more anxious and worried.
Especially these three days, especially strict!
In fact, the atmosphere of the Prince's Mansion in the past three days is also a bit weird. Not only has he strengthened his defense, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been locking himself in the study, except for a few old servants who have been around for years, and no one is seen, and even at night, his master is only allowed to enter and leave the study;
Today is even more strange, inexplicably saying that there will be guests visiting at this hour. Just come to the guests, and stay here to blow the wind and wait for others.
- What kind of person is this, he is so big, and he actually wants his master to come to greet him? Xiao Haixing thought to himself. His master Meng Ru is the head of the Prince's Mansion and the first person next to His Royal Highness the Prince, even the Crown Princess has to ask with a smile when she sees it!
What's more, in terms of the preciousness of status, can the person who is coming here be comparable to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is now in the house?
Of course, these little Haixing only dared to think about it in their hearts. He is no longer a little eunuch who has just entered the palace.
Listening to the apprentice's words, Meng Ru only paused, and then continued to blow the cold wind on the soles of his shoes.
To be honest, in fact, Meng Ru didn't need to suffer here at all, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't ask him to greet "that person", but just told him that the time would come.
But he really couldn't calm down, and waited for the prince in the room while waiting for someone.
-- Meng's mood at this moment is actually very complicated.
Think about it, he entered the palace at the age of eight, and two years later he was lucky enough to be selected by the master as a disciple, and since then he has been serving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for 30 years.
He, a eunuch born in a commoner, can serve His Royal Highness the Prince, it is simply that his ancestors burned high incense. What's more, he also became the head of the Prince's Mansion!
So how many things have happened in the past 30 years? Not to mention that every day is full of dangers, but it is enough to be full of dangers.
Meng Ru knew that he was not smarter than others, if he didn't have His Royal Highness's pity, he couldn't say that he would have been planted in it once, how could he still have the scenery of the head of the Prince's Mansion today?
Therefore, Meng Ru felt that his loyalty to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was completely unquestionable.
You don't see, even in the past 30 years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has changed from the original talented, diligent and conscientious, civil and military, modest and respectful prince to the current prince who is obedient and irritable, reckless, gangster, and excludes dissidents, Meng Ru is also conscientious and has no regrets!
Although this change is so sad, this process of change is so unspeakable......
If that's it, it's good to get used to it.
Meng Ru said that His Royal Highness the Prince's bad temper could no longer shake his long-tempered heart and liver.
- And what has made him so anxious in the last half month is because he accidentally learned about the "new plan" of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Meng Ru silently covered her face in her heart.
This, this really doesn't blame him, who finds out that this kind of prince and master was scolded by the master's father, who can calm down when he turns around and plans to "replace" when he looks back!
To say something ugly, if it is not good, most of the prince's mansion will not even have a chance to leave the whole corpse......
Besides, he was just panicking in his heart, but he didn't mean to do anything to be sorry for His Royal Highness the Prince.
After all, with the ingenuity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he must have known that he had discovered it. But His Highness has not done anything to him so far, nor has he specifically ordered him to keep it secret.
In the face of His Royal Highness's strong trust, Meng Ru still felt a little moved while panicking!
I thought that this was already the most upsetting and restless.
I never expected it!
Meng Ru looked up at the sky, sighed, and returned to three days ago.
