Under the bright sun, in the northeast corner of the courtyard planted with rhododendrons, only one wall away, is a side hall that is usually used for reception. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The crown prince Gao Chen was dressed in sandalwood clothes, standing by the door at the moment, facing the empty corridor, and his expression was very peaceful.

But there is a faint glimpse of a proud look between the eyebrows.

"His Royal Highness King Heng really reassures the palace, it is neat and neat, leaving no traces, even the self-righteous third brother of the palace, I am afraid that at this moment, he can only be in a hurry to run around like a headless fly, but there is nowhere to be found. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has won the award, originally this plan was a dangerous move, after all, the Yan Wangfu is heavily guarded, and it is not easy to move the favorite concubine of the Yan King. It's just that I didn't expect Princess Yan to travel alone at night this time, which gave me an opportunity to take advantage of. ”

While speaking, I saw Heng Wang Yuanpeng walking out of the house unhurriedly,

He stood still beside the prince, leaning his back to the doorpost somewhat carelessly, looking up at the clear sky above him and taking a deep breath.

"My beloved husband and other women are in the cave room, and she is inevitably lonely and sad when she is alone in the empty room, so it is better to leave the palace where she sings all night, and it is better to be clean. ”

At the mention of Cheng Jinzhi, a strange smile appeared on the prince's lips, and then his eyes wandered: "But this palace heard that there was another man who was traveling with her at that time, and this person also held a divine weapon in his hand that is said to be able to sharpen iron like clay?"

"That's right, I have already sent someone to investigate, and this person is none other than Gu Hanqing, the young master of the Gu family in Quanzhou. Yuan Peng glanced sideways at the prince, and then looked ahead again, "And that dagger is a rare thing from the ancient country of Southern Xinjiang, but for the Gu family, who have a lot of wealth and a lot of treasures, it is not a rare thing." ”

"Gu Hanqing, it's really him. ”

The crown prince pronounced the name meaningfully in his mouth, and did not seem to be surprised by his appearance in the slightest.

"Fortunately, I told those people not to kill and to keep them alive, otherwise if something happens to the head of the Gu family, it will not be beneficial to us, but will cause trouble. ”

Yuan Peng said with joy, but when he heard the prince snort disdainfully, a cold smile overflowed on his lips.

It turns out that this infatuated young master still remembers that Cheng Jinzhi. Although he refused to help the palace for the sake of the so-called brotherhood, the relationship between him and the third brother has obviously been much more estranged in the past two years, and it seems that for the sake of this woman, they will one day turn against each other. ”

Hearing the prince's words, Yuan Peng, who was originally leaning against the doorpost, couldn't help but keep his body, as if he had heard a secret that he had never heard of, and his face showed a heavy look of surprise.

"Although I have just arrived in your country, I have already heard of the reputation of the Gu family in Quanzhou. It's just that I didn't expect that there was such a complicated relationship between this Young Master Gu and Princess Yan and His Royal Highness King Yan. ”

"It's complicated. The prince pretended to sigh with emotion, "It's not a secret, the third brother and this young master of the Gu family were originally good brothers who were like brothers. And Cheng Jinzhi and Gu Hanqing initially fell in love, and both of them had made a lifelong commitment to each other, but later they were robbed of love by the third brother, so they married into the palace and became the princess. You say, seeing the woman you like become someone else's wife, you can't love it, after a long time, who can really swallow this breath?"

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Yan to be righteous and awe-inspiring on weekdays, and he would do such an insidious thing of betraying his brother in private. Yuan Peng moved his eyelashes with a smile, "Does this correspond to the sentence, since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass?"

"So for the third brother, it is equivalent to digging out a piece of his heart, and conniving at his usual high posture and arrogance, but this time we have to be led by the nose. ”

The prince said with a smile, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he turned sideways and looked at Yuan Peng very seriously.

"By the way, what's going on with that Cheng Jinzhi now? This woman has a lot of ghost ideas, but you must be careful to take precautions, in case she knows that this mansion is related to His Royal Highness King Heng, but the person who threatens her husband is this palace, then the relationship between the two of us will definitely be exposed. And as soon as she knows, it is equivalent to the entire Yanwang Mansion will know, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to do the great plan of you and me. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, Princess Yan is now locked up in the wing room of the north courtyard, and there is a special person guarding the outside at all times, and I have also sent two maids to watch closely in the house, even if this woman has three heads and six arms, she can't escape from the palm of our hands. ”

Yuan Peng said in a relaxed tone, deliberately raised his eyes and glanced at the wing room where Cheng Jinzhi was being held, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"That's very good. The prince nodded with satisfaction, "The third brother must not have imagined that his beloved princess was hiding in this inconspicuous mansion in the west of the city. But the nominal owner of this mansion is just a wealthy merchant who made his fortune by selling illicit salt, and has nothing to do with you and me at all. ”

But if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't said a word to the household department on his behalf and exempted him from the charge of smuggling, he would not have given up this mansion. Everything is thanks to the proper arrangement of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

When Yuan Peng said this, he deliberately raised his hands to salute the prince, paused for a moment, and then changed color again: "But it seems that this rich merchant likes cuckoos very much, I see that the gardens are all extremely rare three-color rhododendrons." ”

"If His Royal Highness King Heng likes it, then the palace will send a few more gardeners to take care of these rhododendrons for His Royal Highness, it is better than letting them decay in vain. The prince flicked his sleeves and covered his hands behind his back, "It's just that as the saying goes, no one is good for a thousand days, and no flower is red for a hundred days, His Royal Highness King Heng is a person who cherishes flowers, but don't let down this good spring." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, I believe that next spring, it will be more peachy and willow green than the one in front of me. ”

Although Yuan Peng had a warm smile on his lips, his calm eyes were hazy, and occasionally he could glimpse a cluster of hidden grim colors.

After a while, he turned his eyes and continued: "But I want to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if King Yan really takes responsibility for his own crimes as His Royal Highness expected, will His Royal Highness agree to release Princess Yan?"

However, listening to Yuan Peng's tentative words, the prince did not answer this question directly,

I saw him take two steps forward down the steps, and then he turned around slowly, and a hint of cunning overflowed in his eyes.

"Then it depends on whether this woman is obedient enough, so that this palace will not have the opportunity to pity the jade. ”
