Chapter 401 Lies
With a straight face, Quancai came to the main hall. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The moment I stepped in, my face was full of flattery and flattery, and I saluted the fifth princess who was dressed as an ordinary woman and was sitting and drinking tea. "The slave has seen the five princesses."
The fifth princess put the tea cup in her hand, and said softly: "Quancai, the fifth brother has not been seen in this palace for many days, and I miss it very much." ”
"Fifth princess, the master was tired last night and didn't get up yet, so the slave will help you wake him up?" If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you miss their master well, who knows what you want to do with your master, and the eunuch Quancai is very dissatisfied in his heart.
In the past, everything such a dangerous thing as charging into battle was taken over by Jing Rong alone, but now because the five princes mainly dealt with Zhuo Nan last time, there was a gap between Jing Rong and the five princes. So that he and the five princes could only risk their lives last night, and almost died in Huangquan!
The fifth princess naturally wanted Quan Cai to wake up the five princes immediately. But Quancai has already said that the fifth prince was tired last night, she has always been empathetic and considerate of others, how can she wake up the fifth prince at this time?
Said against his will: "Since the fifth brother hasn't gotten up yet, the palace is waiting." ”
Quan Cai looked at the gentle appearance of the fifth princess for the sake of the five princes, and bowed his head and said, "Yes."
The fifth princess didn't leave, so Quan Cai had to stand aside and accompany her. I didn't sleep all night last night, experienced life and death, and was physically and mentally exhausted. So much so that he stood aside, looking tired and impatient.
The fifth princess sat dryly, feeling anxious. Every time she came on weekdays, the eunuch Quan Cai would take the initiative to greet her and make her laugh.
But today, she obviously felt that the eunuch Quan Cai was a little absent-minded when he served her, and she was slightly angry in her heart, and asked with a blank face: "Quan Cai, I heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion was attacked by thieves at night last night, can there be such a thing?" ”
Quan Cai: He knew that this lord must have a purpose when he left the palace!
looked up at the fifth princess and smiled flatteringly. "The minions don't know very well." What kind of joke was the Prime Minister's Mansion attacked by thieves last night? Could it be that the people sent by the prime minister were killed and wounded too much, so the prime minister wanted to cover up the truth and found such a pretext?
The fifth princess's eyes sank slightly when she heard this, and she secretly said that she deliberately wanted to hide her with all this wealth?
After Quan Cai returned to the house with the five princes, he went to rest after treating the wounds, and he didn't know that the prime minister asked Steward Zhou to spread the news that the prime minister's mansion was attacked at night last night in the capital, so the news was a step slower.
But in the eyes of the fifth princess, she mistakenly thought that Quancai had hidden something from her and didn't want to tell her the truth.
The fifth princess was unhappy in her heart, but her face remained unchanged and said: "When the palace left the palace in the morning, she left from the queen mother, and learned that the prime minister's mansion was attacked by thieves last night, and Miss Zhuo Nan was frightened and could not enter the palace to accompany the queen mother. ”
Quan Cai was stunned when he heard this. Wasn't Zhuo Nan taken away by a wizard? How could it be possible to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion safely? No way!
Last night, several forces were all lost, and they were not the opponents of wizards, how could Zhuo Nan, a little woman, easily escape?
The fifth princess had been paying close attention to Quan Cai's expression, and when she saw that his expression was slightly stunned and did not look like a fake, she believed him a little, maybe he really didn't know that the Prime Minister's Mansion was attacked at night last night.
Thinking of this, I can't help but feel annoyed.
She came out of the palace to find out the news, if she didn't even know about Quancai, didn't that mean that the five princes didn't know either? The fifth princess suddenly felt irritable in her heart and wanted to get angry.
The eunuch Quan Cai remembered the instructions of the five princes before going to bed, and saluted to the five princesses: "Your Royal Highness the princess, it was a big deal that the Prime Minister's Mansion was attacked by thieves last night, and the servants want to investigate before the five princes wake up." ”
The fifth princess's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Go ahead, I don't need you to accompany this palace."
"Your Royal Highness Princess Xie." After the eunuch retreated, he immediately sent someone to investigate the matter.
When he learned that Zhuo Nan had returned safely, even the prime minister covered her up and prevented her from entering the palace, and immediately thought that the prime minister must have wanted to put Zhuo Nan under house arrest to get a secret!
But how she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion safely has become a mystery, and she can't find out no matter how she investigates.
Thinking that the fifth princess was still waiting in the main hall, Quan Cai just wanted to send her away quickly.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the minions have found out. Last night, there were indeed thieves who attacked the Prime Minister's Mansion at night, killing and injuring several people, and the wizard left in the middle of the night in a fit of rage. Many people in the prime minister's mansion were frightened, and even when the thieves fled, they took a maid named Xin Yi away, and found dead in the suburbs of the capital early this morning. "How could he tell the truth to the fifth princess! First, according to the rumors deliberately spread by the prime minister, perfunctory this lord and deceive her.
When the fifth princess heard that it was really true, her desire to kill Zhuo Nan for the crime of bullying the king was frustrated, and the smile on her face suddenly faded a little. "Quancai, it's past noon, why hasn't the fifth brother gotten up yet?"
"The master was too tired last night, and he won't be able to fall asleep today." I'm afraid that the five princes won't wake up until dinner time.
When the fifth princess heard this obviously perfunctory excuse, she was slightly angry in her heart, and couldn't help but expose it and asked, "What did the fifth brother do last night to work so hard?" ”
"After several days of snowfall, the snow-capped mountains near the town of Qingxi in the north suddenly avalancheed, killing hundreds of people. The master dealt with the matter overnight, and it was just dawn to rest. The eunuch Quan Cai casually came up with an excuse, and his expression was natural, as if the fifth prince was really a good prince who had worked hard for the people and didn't sleep all night.
The fifth princess didn't go to sleep until dawn, didn't she have to wait until dinner time to wake up?
She sneaked out of the palace, and it was not good to be discovered by her father when she went back late.
I really wanted to ask about Jing Rong's news, but because there was a gap between the five princes and Jing Rong who was harmed last time, she didn't want to ask too much. After all, she is a noble princess, and Jing Rong is now married.
"The fifth brother is so tired, let him sleep a little longer. When he wakes up, tell him that this palace has come. When he has time to enter the palace, he must go to see me. ”
"The slave sends Her Royal Highness the Princess." This Lord is finally leaving! After the eunuch Quan Cai personally sent the fifth princess into the carriage back to the palace, he hurried back to the room to rest. If you don't sleep again, you're going to die.
Prime Minister's Mansion, Painting Yaxuan.
Zhuo Nan lay on the beauty couch and fell asleep.
Qing Dai and Bai Wei stood aside absentmindedly, thinking about why Mama Qian went to the official mansion to identify the body and didn't come back.
Honeysuckle trotted in from outside the courtyard. "Miss, the lord returned to the house with an imperial doctor, saying that the house was attacked by thieves last night, and you were frightened and want to see you." When was there a night attack by thieves last night? However, the house did carry out a few corpses early this morning.
Watching Zhuo Nan's expression, where does it seem that he is frightened and needs the imperial doctor in the palace for treatment?
Could it be that the young lady didn't want to enter the palace and deliberately made an excuse?
Zhuo Nan still closed his eyes when he heard this, but he was contemplating. After waking up, Qing Dai told her that the prime minister's father let her not have to enter the palace, she still thought it was strange at the time, and now it seems that the prime minister's father has found a perfect excuse for her.
Seeing that Zhuo Nan never opened his eyes, Honeysuckle shouted again with anxiety in a soft voice. "Miss?"
Zhuo Nan opened his eyes and glanced at Honeysuckle, got up from the beauty couch, and walked into the inner room.
