Chapter 498: Attempted Rescue
As if he had understood something from Hua Lu's words, the prince changed his words, "It's still a beautiful woman's thoughtfulness, but the palace is not considerate of the ministers, General Wen will go back to rest first, and then discuss the succession of General Huwei and the president of the Tai Hospital another day." ”
"Yes. Wenlong didn't seem to be unhappy on the surface, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart, and left the prince's mansion with resentment towards Hualu.
Hua Lu made a cup of tea and handed it to the prince and asked, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think about this matter?"
"Wolf ambition, he is not satisfied with his current power. The prince took a sip of the tea in his hand, looked at the direction of Wenlong's departure, and said.
"Now that you know, why do you want him to concurrently serve as General Huwei and the director of the Tai Hospital? Although the official titles of the two positions are not high, they are both top priorities, Wen Long is already in charge of the Golden Armor Dragon Guard, and if you let him concurrently serve as the General of the Tiger Guard and the director of the Tai Hospital, it is equivalent to putting the safety of the entire royal family in his hands, and this is undoubtedly digging your own grave. ”
The prince drank the rest of the tea in the cup, then smiled strangely, and said: "If you want to clean up a person, you must first satisfy a person, first let him inflate himself in complacency, and then the palace will squeeze him to the ground." ”
Bang, as soon as the prince's voice fell, he crushed the teacup in his hand, then turned around and entered the pavilion with his hands behind his back, and then changed the conversation and said, "Don't talk about Wenlong, let's talk about another person." ”
"Who?" Hua Lu also followed into the pavilion and cast a puzzled look at the prince.
The prince sat on the stone bench next to the stone table, then made a cup of tea and put it on the opposite side of the stone table, "The person in the prisoner car, the beauty seems to know him?"
"Yes. Hualu sat down opposite the prince and replied.
Hua Lu knows the prince too well, he has a very high mind and is good at calculation, so it is better to admit it generously than to tell lies and deceive to arouse the suspicion of the other party.
"The beauty just stopped Bengong from killing him, so do you want Hongu to let him go?" The prince then asked.
Hua Lu's expression was slightly stunned, and she didn't answer immediately, but hesitated slightly, "If I say yes, will the prince let him go?"
"Anyone who destroys the major affairs of the palace must die, including the wife and children of the palace. The prince's tone was a little angry, and he got up and walked out of the pavilion and left the garden.
"No, Ao Baifeng can't die, once the time is ripe, the young master will use him to open the gate to heaven and return to the heavenly realm, no matter what, we must find a way to save him. The dew was dark and solemn, and then got up and left the garden.
When night falls, the only half-moon in the sky is covered by clouds, making the night look extraordinarily dark, but Qingcheng, as the capital of the empire, is very bright at night, in addition to the torches shining on the city wall, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves on both sides of the streets in the city, the lights of thousands of homes are intertwined to make the whole Qingcheng like daytime.
Unconsciously, halfway through the night, it is the time when people sleep the deadliest, and this is also the time when the mental state of those officers and soldiers who defend and patrol the city to maintain the peace of a city is the worst, and the sense of prevention will be relaxed, and some people who want to do something unconsciously will choose to act at this time.
The prince's mansion has four courtyards before and after, the front yard is also the main courtyard, the prince and the minister discuss state affairs or meet guests in the main courtyard, the backyard is a large garden, the prince in addition to occasionally with his wife and concubine to relax and admire the moon, most of the time in the discussion with his cronies some secret things, the right courtyard for the subordinates and visitors to rest, the left courtyard for the prince and his wife and concubine to rest.
At this moment, the window of a house in the right courtyard suddenly opened, and then a black shadow burst out of it, jumping out of the courtyard wall.
A chic attic in the right courtyard was still lit, and in the upstairs room sat a man, it was the prince, who had not yet rested, sitting alone in front of the round table, with his right hand on the round table, his fingers slightly bent and gently tapping on the tabletop, as if waiting for something.
Gotta ......
At this time, the prince suddenly heard a burst of eager footsteps downstairs, looked at the door, and soon an old man in black pushed the door and walked in, the old man arched his hand to the prince and said, "Your Royal Highness the prince, as you expected, she really went out." ”
"Go and follow her, and report to me her whereabouts at any time by the messenger. ”
"Yes. The old man withdrew.
On the street of Qingcheng, a group of patrol officers and soldiers had just passed by, and a man in black came out of a darkly lit alley on the side of the street, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and the figure was a woman, and the woman in black left in the opposite direction, and her steps were very hurried.
The woman in black walked not far but suddenly stopped, her eyes stared, as if she noticed that someone was following her, and the woman looked back and saw nothing but the backs of the patrol officers and soldiers who had become blurred in the distance.
However, the woman in black seemed to be convinced that someone was following her, and her eyes kept staring at the alleys on both sides of the street, and she used her mind to transmit a voice to the surroundings, "Friend, since you are here, you might as well show up." ”
After five or six breaths, the streets were still quiet after the patrol officers and soldiers left.
Meow Meow ......
At this time, a cat jumped out of an alley on the side of the street, and after glancing at the woman, the cat quickly ran into the opposite alley.
"It turned out to be a cat. ”
Seeing that it was a cat, the woman in black turned around and continued to walk in the direction she had before, and after walking for a while, she stopped again, this time she was sure that someone was following her behind her.
This time, she didn't know how to turn back, but turned to the back, didn't use her mind to transmit the voice, and directly opened her mouth and said: "Follow me all the way, it's time to show up." ”
After three breaths, a person jumped under the eaves of an attic on the right, and it was the old man in black who had left the prince's room, and the old man was not masked.
The woman in black frowned, the person in front of her was the first time she had seen her, "I don't seem to know you, why are you following me?"
"Hehe, don't be angry, the old man has no malice, but someone is worried about the girl's safety, so he sent the old man to protect the girl secretly. The old man in black said with a smile.
The woman in black stared at her, and said with some surprise: "You are the prince's person?"
"Hehehe......"
The old man in black didn't speak, just smiled.
"I've been in the Prince's Mansion for so long, I didn't even know that such a person existed, I thought I knew everything about the Prince's Mansion, and now it seems that I am too confident, and I can only put it off for the time being if I want to save Ao Baifeng. ”
The woman in black took off the black scarf covering her face, revealing Lushan's true face, because the other party knew her identity, there was no need to hide it, the woman in black was Hualu.
"The prince is actually worried that I am worried that I have not rested so late, you go back and thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for me. ”
After leaving a message, Flower Dew went back the way she came.
"If the girl's words are the old man, the old man must bring it, hehe. The old man in black looked at Hua Lu's back and said.
