848 ambition
"You guys!!"
Xiao Yanxu looked at the two of them with shame, annoyance and anger and wanted to speak.
Xiao Zhuozi next to him hurriedly stepped forward and said urgently: "Fourth Highness!"
Xiao Zhuozi made a gesture to help Xiao Yanxu, and said in a low voice: "They are all tall people. ”
"Now Lord Gao is the most trusted person around His Majesty, and he and his subordinates are already such a nobody, and they are the same for everyone. Don't say it again, if they hear and tell Lord Gao, then Lord Gao will say a few words in front of His Majesty, I'm afraid Your Majesty will be even more annoyed with you. ”
Xiao Yanxu's face turned pale, and he was thrown out of the Dragon Terrace like this.
But when he thought of Gao Zheng's identity in front of Emperor Yongzhen, as well as the group of outlaws under him who only respected the holy order, he had to swallow this breath alive.
Xiao Zhuozi helped him up and said in a low voice: "Why did you talk to Your Majesty about this today, Your Majesty is annoyed by the rumors in Beijing, before Master Gao said that he hadn't found Liu Xiangcheng yet, and he was smashed in the head by His Majesty, you are simply hitting Your Majesty on the muzzle ......of the gun." ”
Xiao Yanxu said with regret: "I just want to share my father's worries." ”
"But don't, Your Highness, the slave knows that you are benevolent and virtuous, and also knows that you have filial piety, but no one can help in this matter, and Your Majesty will not agree to let anyone interfere, then the edict of the first emperor can be big or small, and it may remember things that are unfavorable to Your Majesty, if it is really obtained, Your Majesty's throne is ......"
Xiao Zhuozi seemed to have said something unintentionally, and then woke up suddenly.
A trace of remorse appeared on his face, as if he was angry with his quick speech just now, he hurriedly put back the following words with a haha, and said to Xiao Yanxu, who looked stunned: "The words of the slave are all nonsense, Your Highness, don't take it to heart." The hour is not early, Your Highness hurry back, and the servants will also go in to serve Your Majesty. ”
Xiao Yanxu watched Xiao Zhuozi leave in a hurry after saluting, and couldn't help frowning.
He originally thought that the edict was fake, so he couldn't help but enter the palace to show it, just because after the fall of the eldest prince, he was the only one left in the court and King Xiang to fight for that position.
He only needed to guard against King Xiang, but who knew that Emperor Yongzhen suddenly got close to Xiao Jinyu, coupled with Xiao Jinyu's rescue skills, he suddenly had a crisis in his heart.
There were constant rumors outside, and he was afraid that Emperor Yongzhen would really support another one to compete with them, so he wanted to take an errand in front of Emperor Yongzhen to please him, but who knew that Emperor Yongzhen would be so angry.
Xiao Yanxu was also suspicious, whether it was Emperor Yongzhen's previous attitude or Xiao Zhuozi's words just now, it was clear that the edict was true.
If there is really an edict, I am afraid that the posthumous son is also true, then the matter of Emperor Yongzhen killing his father and killing the king and usurping power and seizing the throne is probably also true......
Xiao Yanxu's eyes narrowed slightly, remembering the undisguised disgust of Emperor Yongzhen just now, remembering the shame of the two people who carried him out of the Dragon Terrace, looked up at the palace gate not far away, and there was some ambition in his eyes.
If Emperor Yongzhen could kill the king and seize the throne back then, then why couldn't he?
If he can get that edict and hold that posthumous son in his hands, then he may not be able to copy what Emperor Yongzhen did back then, so why do he need to go to great lengths to curry favor with the Holy Driver here and be humiliated?
Xiao Yanxu hurriedly left the palace, and his expression before leaving fell into the eyes of Xiao Zhuozi, who had not really left the door.
Xiao Zhuozi chuckled and shook off the dust in his hand.
What the second master said is really good, this person will never know how to be satisfied.
These princes are not so peaceful, usually they have the imperial power to suppress it, but now that the situation is chaotic, they are ready to move, if they are given a chance, let them have the opportunity to become that person, their ambitions will be infinitely inflated, and they will give birth to thoughts that they should not have.
If this mind is confused, it will make mistakes, and the result of mistakes will be an abyss.
Xiao Zhuozi glanced at the little eunuch not far away, the little eunuch quietly retreated, Xiao Zhuozi then restrained the smile on his face, went to the side hall next door, and after a while he entered the hall with his head down with the brewed tea.
Emperor Yongzhen is still angry.
Xiao Zhuozi asked people to clean up the mess on the ground, and picked up the Zhou Folds that fell to the ground and put them away, then he walked aside and whispered: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu Niangniang sent someone over before, saying that she had a bad headache, and I want to ask Your Majesty to come over and have a look." ”
Emperor Yongzhen said coldly: "If you have a headache, you will find the imperial doctor, what will I do?!"
Xiao Zhuozi shut up and stopped talking when he heard this, but just brought the brewed tea to Emperor Yongzhen.
Emperor Yongzhen took it and took a sip, pausing instantly, "What kind of taste does this taste like?"
Xiao Zhuozi hurriedly whispered: "It's the lotus heart, the slave took the fresh lotus heart and tied it up with the water boiled by the basket to cook tea, which is not too bitter, and has the effect of calming the five internal organs, the slave has already asked the imperial doctor, knowing that this method will not hurt His Majesty's dragon body, so he dared to cook it for His Majesty to taste." ”
Emperor Yongzhen took another sip and found that the tea had the bitterness of the lotus heart after entering the mouth, but it was not as difficult to swallow as boiling tea directly with the dried lotus heart.
"You're good at it. ”
Xiao Zhuozi was immediately happy: "Your Majesty Xie praises." ”
Emperor Yongzhen looked at the yellowish tea soup in the teacup and asked, "I remember that the season of lotus picking has passed early, where did the fresh lotus seeds come from in the palace during this time?"
Xiao Zhuozi suddenly hesitated when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Slave, the slave entrusted someone to buy it." ”
"Bought?"
Emperor Yongzhen's eyes showed suspicion: "Who did you entrust and where did you buy it from?"
Xiao Zhuozi is divided.
Emperor Yongzhen suddenly felt that something was wrong, and put the teacup down, "Where did the hell it come from?!You can't speak so clearly, isn't there something wrong with this tea?!"
Xiao Zhuozi knelt down with a "bang" and said urgently: "No, Your Majesty Mingjian, the slave will never dare to hurt Your Majesty!"
"Then where did this lotus heart come from?!"
Xiao Zhuozi lowered his head, "It's the Nine Emperor Princes..."
"When the Nine Emperor Princes played chess with you two days ago, they saw that you were coughing and getting angry, so they asked the minion, and the minion casually said that the lotus heart is effective, but the aged lotus heart is too astringent and bitter, and you don't like its taste. As a result, when she got up this morning, Concubine Yun ordered someone to send a pack of lotus hearts to the slave. ”
The slave felt that something was wrong, the lotus seeds in the palace were long gone, and there was no place in the capital, so the slave secretly went to inquire, only to know that the Nine Emperors went out of Beijing yesterday without authorization to go to the palace, and picked the lotus seeds from the lotus pond raised in the hot spring water over there. ”
"The slave knew that the Beijing was not peaceful in the past few days, and the Nine Emperors secretly went out of Beijing because if the matter was spread out, it would be true, so the slave didn't dare to say it. ”
"The slave didn't mean to deceive Your Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty!"
