Chapter 143: Old Things

"The slave was originally selected by the Shen family to be sent to the Cheng'an Hou Mansion, does His Highness know about this matter?" It's really like even a woman like him.

The prince nodded, "Lone knows." Reaching out and picking up his chin, "You are a lonely person now, you don't have to call yourself a slave anymore." ”

Hongyao's eyes became more gentle when he looked at the prince.

"Your Highness knows this, and is so kind to me. The red medicine hooked the corners of his lips and bent them slightly. "Red Medicine is really grateful. Later, when I was caught by the wife of the Cheng'an Hou Mansion to be disposed of, and when I was caught by the Cheng'an Hou and sent to the prison, the Shen family didn't care about me, let alone life and death, and the used chess pieces were discarded If it weren't for His Royal Highness, send someone Li Dai Taozhuang to rescue me, I'm afraid the red medicine won't survive this winter. ”

The red medicine breathed softly, and the prince's ears were crispy and itchy inside and out.

"These things have long been known, is it just that what you want to say is not enough?" the prince asked, raising his eyebrows, still with some detachment in his eyes.

The red medicine that has served people since childhood is naturally clear.

He sighed softly, "Your Highness, don't you believe me?" I just remembered one thing, maybe it has something to do with Your Highness." ”

The prince raised his eyebrows, did not speak, and motioned for him to continue.

Hongyao slowly got up and put on his clothes. The moon-white middle coat, the water-green Hangzhou silk robe, and the smooth fabric within reach make people's fingers feel like caressing the skin of a child.

"During the Shangyuan Festival, I was ordered to go to the alley next to Baoxiang Street to Zhang Ji Lantern Festival shop to keep an eye on King Mu. ”

As soon as the words came out, the prince's face froze. Hongyao put on his clothes and turned around, and saw the prince's somewhat gloomy face.

"Go on!" The sudden stern tone made Hongyao's back tremble.

"The Shangyuan Festival is lively, I am still a servant of the Qin family, and I was borrowed by the relatives of the Qin family. When I went to their house to sing and dance, I was able to get out of the house early. The Zhang Ji written by the Lantern Festival shop was opened by a relative of the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, Zhang Xuzhang. It's just a small shop on the outside, but there's a hole in the inside. Lord Zhang has an outer room in this Lantern Festival shop, which is exactly King Mu's outer family, the mother of Concubine Yang's family, and a concubine selected by him. "Red Medicine took the prince's vermilion mid-order from the hanger. Slowly crouching down, he asked the prince to stand over and change his clothes.

The words in his mouth did not stop: "Originally, on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, King Mu, who was still the third prince, was going to this Lantern Festival shop to discuss things with Lord Zhang Xuzhangβ€”β€”"

"But he didn't appear in Zhang Ji at all that day!" the prince faintly showed anger between his eyebrows.

He already knew that Zhang Xu had raised an outer room there, and he had long known that the third child was going to the Lantern Festival shop that day. His guards led people to stir up trouble, to pick out Zhang Xu's outer room, and by the way, to break the matter of the third child and the courtiers meeting in private and plotting.

The plan he planned to kill two birds with one stone - the imperial historians in the capital have not impeached the officials for a long time. He created some things, Zhang Xu has been raising the outer room for a long time, this is something that many people know, not to mention that Zhang Xu has been estranged from his original wife for a long time, so that the hats of "standing upright", "not distinguishing between concubines and concubines", and "spoiling concubines and killing wives" can be buckled on Zhang Xu's head one by one.

happened to "pick up" the matter of the third child and the court officials meeting in private, even if the third child did a good job before, his father was suspicious, and he would fade the idea of making him king.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Red Medicine's hand covered his palm. Warm and cool, like a fine piece of jade.

"His Royal Highness King Mu really didn't show up. Because he knew that the young masters and girls of the Cheng'an Hou family went to Zhang Ji Lantern Festival Shop. King Mu was a little timid by nature, so he temporarily changed his itinerary and did not see Master Zhang again. I was always sent to stay in the Lantern Festival shop. Keep an eye on what happened that night. His voice was crisp and tactful, and at this moment, in order to appease the prince's mood, he was very calm and quiet.

The prince's chest, which was constantly heaving and heaving because of his anger, slowly stabilized.

"What happened later?" the prince seemed to realize his gaffe, came over with his backhand and patted Hongyao's hand, raised his arm and asked Hongyao to serve him and put on his clothes.

"Doesn't His Highness know what happened later? The sons and girls of the Cheng'an Hou family arrived first, and then the prince of Wuwei Hou and the eldest girl also arrived. The girl of the Wuwei Hou family took a fancy to the box that the young master and girls of the Hou family of Cheng'an picked first, and almost made a fuss, who knew that as soon as the door was opened, it was considered to be an acquaintance, so they all sat together. Hongyao stretched out his hand to tie the knot of the prince's clothes and tie the forbidden jade pendant, and said unhurriedly, like a storyteller who spoke extremely smoothly, but his voice was nice and tight.

"While the young masters and girls of the two families were eating, your guards broke out with someone. Cheng'an Hou Shizi and Wuwei Hou Shizi went out with swords, but your guards did not restrain at all, and finally Wuwei Hou Shizi was stabbed in the arm, I heard that there seems to be poison on the knife"

The prince's eyebrows furrowed, "That's right, I sent Ah Qi, Ah Qi is from the north, and the Yang family made a fortune in the north." The outer room that Zhang Xuyang raised was sent by the Yang family. When the prince mentioned this, he couldn't help but sneer, "The Yang family has a concubine, and since then she has embarked on the road of selling her daughter." The girls who came out of the concubine are all well married, and the girls who don't care about the concubines will send one on the left and one on the other side A Qi and Zhang Xu's outer room was originally a good match, and I paid attention to it at the time. ”

"Could it be that you want to let Ah Qi carry a knife with poison and catch the traitor in bed, if King Mu is accidentally injured and poisoned, I heard that Pei Shizi was hit by that knife, with poison, and he has been injured for a long time in the Cheng'an Hou Mansion. Hongyao continued to gently straighten the folds on the prince's clothes.

The prince is wearing red clothes today, and his face is like jade more and more, and the eyes of the yin lord, who often make people feel frightened on weekdays, seem to be much softer.

"Not bad. In this way, even if someone accuses me of instructing people to hum, I must first calculate the crime of meeting and talking with important officials of the court in private. As for me, it's just that my subordinates are not strict and indulge my subordinates. But in the final analysis, Ah Qi is going to take revenge, and to find an old lover is not tolerable, and it is reasonable. If he accidentally injured the third child, he can only blame him and the courtiers for meeting privately in such places, could it be that I will be blamed?"

The clothed prince turned his head and looked at Hongyao with a smile on his face, "It's hard for you, you are willing to tell me about this." ”

Hongyao laughed lowly, and his voice was like a three-spring flower, "It's hard to see how well His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats me." ”

"I see, you seem to like the girl who serves the pen and ink in my study, if you like it, just call someone to let her come over, I can't come to accompany you every day. The prince straightened his sleeves and clapped his hands gently, and the two eunuchs stood at the door of the room with a beautiful face and a soft and weak palace maid. "There is no one around you to serve you personally, there is no girl who knows cold and warm, and I am not at ease. If it is pleasing to the eye, keep it, and if it is not pleasing to the eye, change it again. Lonely still has something to do, so I left first. ”

Hongyao bowed his head and saluted, and sent the prince out.

When I turned around, I saw the palace maid standing at the door, her eyes a little timid.

"Don't be afraid, I won't eat you again. (To be continued.) )
