Chapter Eighty-Nine: Pleading

Once the decision was made, Zhao Mo didn't want to delay any longer. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Qin Hanzhen originally persuaded him to wait for his grandfather Qin Bai to come back, and then spread out the matter and make it clear, or go directly to Huang Jincheng to find Qin Bai, just take advantage of Qin Bai's momentum to knock Huang Jincheng. With Qin Bai here, it's okay to see Huang Jincheng embarrassed to embarrass the minor.

Huang Jincheng was a military attache and was sent to Jinling City, obviously to protect the prince's safety. As long as he doesn't make any extraneous branches, if Zhao Mo wants to persuade the prince to return to Beijing in advance, the success rate will be greatly improved, and Li Yanchao's side will be easier to deal with, not to mention that Qin Bai will probably help.

Zhao Mo said: "The stakes are very high, so don't delay." What do I have to talk to Lord Huang? Let's go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first and explain the matter clearly. ”

Qin Hanzhen understands in seconds. The so-called capture the thief first captures the king, as long as the prince is killed, others will indeed no longer be a trouble.

Zhao Mo said goodbye to Qin Hanzhen and left again. Qin Hanzhen kept sending it outside the gate, watching his back leave from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This trip to Jiangnan, I thought it was just a trip and a distraction, but I didn't expect so many things to happen.

If you think about it, most of my grandfather knew the whereabouts of the prince, but he didn't know when he learned about it. recalled that when Qin Bai was in the capital, he had just entered the palace to meet the emperor, and after returning home, without warning, he suddenly proposed to go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, could it be that he heard the news from the emperor at that time?

No wonder, he was in such a hurry at that time, urging the long house and the second room to do a good job of separating the family, and he was going to set off for the south in a few days. Because of the heavy wind and rain, he actually left his family behind again, and he and Huang Jincheng came to Jinling City first, presumably because he was in a hurry to see the prince, right?

Also, after arriving in Qinzhuang, Qin Bai had to go out from time to time, and every time he only brought Zhou Xiangnian or Uncle Hu, he didn't say where he went, and used a stroll as an excuse. He must have gone to see the prince at that time, right? He came to Jiangnan because he was worried that the prince would be outside?

And Qin Bai suddenly bought two houses and a shop in the city, one house for his own residence, and the other said that he didn't buy it, but he bought it and gave it to the prince and his party to settle down, and the shop was given to Doctor Ye for nothing, this is to facilitate the prince to escape the cold in the city and see the doctor?

Qin Han sighed in his heart, thinking that his grandfather was also well-intentioned. If Zhao Mo hadn't revealed the truth today, Qin Bai would probably have been hiding it from his family, right? Of course, this kind of secret can't be told to people casually, but I don't know how Qin Jian could also know about it? Most of it wasn't said by his own grandfather, but when he met the prince outside, right? That time he and Zhao Mo met "Zhao Gongzi" in the town together. Zhao Mo naturally couldn't recognize the crown prince, but it was impossible for Qin Jian not to know this cousin. In this way, the members of this family who don't know the identity of the prince are probably the only ones left with the grandmother cow and her. And now, she knows......

Qin Hanzhen looked back at the direction of the main house, and felt that it was better not to tell his grandmother.

When she returned to the main courtyard, Niu had just woken up from sleep, and while tidying up her clothes and ornaments under the service of the girl, she yawned and asked her granddaughter: "Haven't your grandfather and Brother Jian come back yet?" They said that Guanglu is back, where is this place? It's still early for dinner, if you are hungry, ask someone to go out and buy some snacks to come back and eat." We just moved back, and most of the kitchen is not stocked with hot snacks. ”

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "The kitchen has a little heart, I just asked." However, Cousin Zhao heard that Grandfather and Brother Lobby were not there, and Grandmother, you fell asleep again, and after talking to me for a while, he left, saying that he would come to greet you later. Today's lunch, I guess I'll accompany you to eat again. ”

Niu's face was puzzled: "What's the matter?

Qin Hanzhen smiled and did not answer. Zhao Mo said that before he came, he sent Ah Shou to Huang Jincheng to report the news, if Huang Jincheng and Qin Bai and Qin Jian who went to visit got the letter, I'm afraid they would have to discuss the next response, Qin Bai and Qin Jian couldn't be so big as to come back for lunch, right?

She only said to Niu: "I don't know." Is Grandmother sleeping well, do you want to rest a little longer?"

Niu Shi was easily diverted from the topic by her: "I slept well, I will take a nap after lunch, and I should be able to rest." Alas, Zhuang Shang is not bad, it is very lively, but the lively days have passed a lot, and it is quite tireless. We've only been moving back for a little while, and I feel very comfortable. Sure enough, it's better to live a quieter life. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled with her.

Zhao Mo quickly returned to Huaiqingqiao's house, standing in front of the gate, he paused at his feet, and then stepped into the threshold with his legs open.

Imperial Physician Shen was talking to someone in the front yard, and when he saw him coming back, he was a little surprised: "Why did the grandson come back? Didn't you say that you were going to have lunch at Qin's house?"

Zhao Mo pursed his lips and asked instead of answering: "Where is my uncle?" I have something to tell him. ”

Imperial Physician Shen frowned, and was about to answer, when he heard the prince's voice from the direction of the study: "Is it Guanglu? I'm here, come here." ”

Zhao Mo walked over, and saw the prince sitting on the long couch in the study, holding a book in his hand, hot tea and snacks on the small table next to him, and an attendant wearing the clothes of a small servant, standing aside to listen to the instructions. The study room is warm like spring, and everything is so calm and leisurely.

Zhao Mo shook his head, but quickly settled down, stepped forward step by step, and knelt down in front of the couch: "Uncle...... No, Your Highness, Zhao Mo is here to ask you for his guilt. ”

The prince's face changed color slightly. He glanced at the chamberlain. The latter bowed, quickly retreated, and closed the door to the study. Imperial Physician Shen had already chased to the door at this time, and when he heard Zhao Mo's words, he was also full of surprise. He glanced at the chamberlain, hesitated for a moment, and decided to go and find the commander of the guard and Imperial Physician Tang.

By the time Imperial Physician Shen and the others gathered in front of the study, and even Huang Jincheng led Qin Bai, Qin Jian, and Ah Shou into the door, Zhao Mo had already asked the prince for his guilt, and told all the news he knew about Li Yanchao.

He said with a straight face: "Your Highness, this matter should not be neglected, and please be cautious." Li Yanchao is just a little ant, but the Shu Wangfu and the Tu family behind him should not be underestimated. Your Royal Highness's safety is related to the safety of the country, and I ask you to return to Beijing as soon as possible. ”

The prince looked at him and let out a low sigh. When Zhao Mo heard this, he couldn't help but hang his head lower.

The prince said softly, "You get up first." Zhao Mo kowtowed, stood up obediently, and respectfully stepped aside to serve, waiting for orders.

The crown prince's gaze at Zhao Mo was a little complicated. In fact, he had long hoped that Zhao Mo would be able to tell the truth, stop pretending to be unaware, and trust him more as an uncle. However, when Zhao Mo really put his words through and apologized to him, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not his uncle, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Zhao Mo only called him "uncle" from the beginning of his kneeling, and only called him "Your Highness" in the future, obviously he was going to break up with him, right? These days, he and Zhao Mo have gotten along very well, is this warm and pleasant time really over?

After thinking about it, from the beginning, it seemed like he was lying to this kid. Now how can he be embarrassed to accuse this child of deceiving him?

The prince said softly to Zhao Mo: "You don't have to say anything to ask for sin, I lied to you first, if you want to say that there is a mistake, then I made a mistake first." You're a smart kid who can guess the truth, and rightfully so. I just don't understand why you've changed your mind now that you've been reluctant to say it? Who persuaded you? Is it Yongjiahou?"

Zhao Mo shook his head, and his eyes suddenly softened: "No." I went to look for my uncle and grandfather, but he was not at home and was invited to Mr. Huang. I only said a few words to the third cousin of the Qin family. I ......" He paused, not sure if it was a good idea to expose Qin Hanzhen, but if it was to take Qin Hanzhen's credit, he couldn't help it. After hesitating for a moment, he still decided to say it: "I was troubled in my heart, and I couldn't help but confide in my third cousin, it was her persuasion that made me understand what was the priority. No matter how many worries I have in my heart, I can't match the safety of His Highness. Even if Your Highness is disgusted with me from now on, I can't pretend to be stupid anymore. ”

The prince smiled: "Silly boy, how can I hate you?" and then he added, "The little uncle's Hanzhen girl is also a good boy. She advised you well, and I want to thank her. ”

Zhao Mo was still guessing what the prince meant by this, but the latter had already raised his head and raised his voice: "People from outside come in." ”

The door opened, and Qin Bai, Huang Jincheng, the commander of the East Palace guards, Imperial Physician Tang, and Imperial Physician Shen ...... Even Qin Jian came in together. The expressions on everyone's faces were a little indescribable.

Qin Bai first looked at Zhao Mo, with a look of relief on his face: "Guanglu, you have made a good decision. He turned to the crown prince again, "Your Highness should also consider returning to Beijing." This trip needs to be kept secret, but Lord Huang has a duty to escort him all the way, so he can only send his henchmen to accompany him. His Royal Highness's safety along the way still depends on the guards of the East Palace. In order to ensure that His Royal Highness would not get sick due to cold weather and fatigue on the road, the two imperial doctors also had to bring one with him, but the other had to stay in Jinling to help contain the Li Yan Dynasty. ”

Once Qin Bai knew about Li Yanchao's affairs, in a short period of time, he had already thought of a way to deal with it. He even thought: "It would be great if I could invite Dr. Ye to accompany him." Even if it is for the sake of secrecy, Dr. Ye cannot be allowed to know His Royal Highness's true identity, and he can be summoned to Beijing afterwards. Although His Royal Highness's health is already very good, it is difficult to guarantee that he will still be able to use Dr. Ye in the future. If he practiced medicine in Beijing, His Highness would be much more convenient. ”

The prince thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. For the sake of his family, Dr. Ye has decided that he will not leave Jinling Mansion for several years. Why should I be strong? My condition has improved greatly, and I just need to take my medicine on time to recuperate. Imperial Physician Tang and Imperial Physician Shen were both very skilled in their medical skills, and during their time in Jinling, they consulted with Dr. Ye, and their medical skills also improved. I'll have them with me, and that's enough. ”

This means that the prince has agreed to Qin Bai and Zhao Mo's proposal and returned to Beijing ahead of schedule. Once the tone is set, everyone will be able to make arrangements for the future.

The first to raise an objection was Huang Jincheng: "The canal is suspended in the first month, and if His Highness changes to the land route, I am afraid that it will be too bumpy, and His Highness may not be able to stand it." Besides, I don't know who he will meet along the way, so if Li Yanchao delivers the letter early and sends people to ambush along the road, His Highness will be in danger! Instead of taking a huge risk, it is better to openly raise the banner of the East Palace, open the way by the officials and soldiers, and escort His Highness back to Beijing. Even if Xiao Xiao has bad intentions, he doesn't dare to act rashly!"
