In the darkroom of the Jinyi Weifu Division, Ma Wensheng took the small note in his hand and kept pacing back and forth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lord Qianhu?" A young man in Tsing Yi who was standing aside waiting for a reply, seeing that Ma Wensheng had not made up his mind, couldn't help but remind him, "Commander Lu is coming back." ”

Ma Wensheng stopped his steps, raised his head and looked in the direction of the door. This news must not reach Lord Lu's ears from his own mouth.

The current commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lord Lu, is His Majesty's person, and he has been ignoring the dispute between the court. If this news falls into the hands of the other party, then I am afraid that I will cause trouble for His Royal Highness the Prince.

Thinking of this, Ma Wensheng finally made up his mind.

"Little Four," he looked back at the young man in Tsing Yi on the side, handed the note in his hand to the other party, and quickly ordered, "Before Lord Lu comes back, you hurry up and send the news to Lord Xie Qianxie's mansion." Tell Master Xie ......"

Although Xiao Si is not outstanding, and he does not wear a flying fish suit or an embroidered spring knife on weekdays, he is still a secret agent of Jinyiwei in the end. If you let the other party go directly to the East Palace, you will be detected by someone with a heart in the future, and I am afraid that it will cause great trouble for His Royal Highness the Prince.

After all, Jinyiwei is a knife in the hands of His Majesty, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of a country, but if he has a private connection with Jinyiwei at this time, I am afraid that His Majesty will also be suspicious.

Xiao Si nodded frequently, and after Ma Wensheng finished his order, he bowed down and exited the dark room.

On the bustling and lively streets of the Imperial City, Xiao Si lowered his head, and seemed to be aimlessly swaying left and right, but disappeared into the crowd in an instant.

Xiao Si is not outstanding, but with the dress of the Tsing Yi guy commonly used by the big families in the capital, this one was lost in the crowd, and it instantly disappeared into the crowd.

The other two people who had been secretly following Xiao Si saw this, so they glanced up at each other, then nodded invisibly, turned around and left.

At nightfall, the crown prince Zhu Youzhu had just stepped out of the gate of Cining Palace, and saw the little eunuch Li Guang trotting up to meet him.

"Your Highness," Li Guang stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Taifu Xie has been waiting in the East Palace for a long time. ”

Zhu Youzhu frowned slightly, he would come to his grandmother's place every day to settle down in the morning and dusk, and Mrs. Xie knew it. The imperial grandmother felt sorry for herself, and often stayed with herself for dinner in Cining Palace, and Mrs. Xie also knew it.

But today, it's been such an hour, how could Mrs. Xie return to the East Palace again?

Zhu Youzhu was silent on the surface, but his feet sped up a few times.

At the gate of the East Palace, Li Dongyang saw the prince's guard of honor from a distance, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"Your Highness, you're back. "As a subordinate official of the East Palace, he happened to stay in the palace today. "Mrs. Xie is waiting for you in the study. ”

Li Dongyang replied while following Zhu Youzhu and walking towards the study of the East Palace.

"Master Xie, you entered the palace so late today, but what emergency happened?" In the study, Zhu Youzhu excused everyone's salute and opened his mouth to inquire.

"Your Highness," the situation was urgent, Xie Qian didn't say much, and directly handed over the small note in his hand, "This is Ma Wensheng of Jinyiwei, and someone sent it secretly." ”

Zhu Youzhu was stunned when he heard this, reached out and took the small note, and looked down at it quickly.

The content on the note is very simple, only a short line of small words: The monk Jixiao appeared outside Juyong Pass half a month ago.

How can this be?

"Is there any solid evidence?" After a few breaths, he looked up at Xie and Liu on the side.

"Nope. Xie Qian shook his head with a solemn expression, "Ma Wensheng is just suspicious, but this matter is too important, he doesn't dare to be specialized, so he specially ordered someone to ask His Highness." ”

Over the years, the relationship between Daming and Tile Spur has always been tense, and this is outside the Yong Pass, but it is also the territory of Tile Spur. Since this Jixiao has appeared outside Juyong Pass, he is going to enter the palace at this moment, and he knows that there is no cat in it?

"Your Royal Highness," Li Dongyang couldn't help but say when he saw that Zhu Youzhu had not spoken, "This Jixiao is going to enter the palace tomorrow, if this person has evil intentions, wouldn't it be ......?"

"Hongu knows. Zhu Youzhu's face was solemn. Since this Jixiao has colluded with the Tile Thorn people, it stands to reason that this person cannot be allowed to enter the palace like this under any circumstances.

But the father has always respected Jixiao. Now that he has no real evidence in his hands, even if he makes trouble in front of his father at this time, I am afraid that his father will not believe his words.

What should I do? Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but have a sharp turn in his mind.

This Jixiao came under the banner of praying for the blessings of the Ming Dynasty and all the people in the world, and the other party was a monk who was personally enshrined by his father. In the absence of real evidence, if you speak falsely and are used by people with intentions, you will not only lose the favor of your father, but also the hearts of all the people in the world.

But this matter is related to the safety of his father, how can he be indifferent?

"Your Highness," Xie Qian stepped forward and interrupted Zhu Youzhang's contemplation, "It's better to tell the Queen Mother about this." ”

After all, the Empress Dowager Zhou is the emperor's biological mother, and if she says it, the emperor will not be suspicious.

"Nope. Zhu Youzhu shook his head and finally made a decision. "The imperial grandmother is very old, and I am afraid that she can't stand the fright. ”

"Master Xie," Zhu Youzhu raised his head and looked at Xie Qian, "Send news to Marven Sheng, and let his people keep an eye on Jixiao's whereabouts." ”

………………………………………………………………………………

In Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager Zhou left Zhang Wan in the inner hall, talking about herself, and the great eunuch Wang Ruhai walked in with a cat.

"Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is back. Wang Ruhai said with a smile on his face.

"Is Ji'er back?" Empress Dowager Zhou was a little surprised, this kid had just left, why did he go back at this time?

Could it be ......? Empress Dowager Zhou raised her head and looked at Zhang Wan opposite with a smile.

Zhang Wan was stunned, this prince Zhu Youzhu went and returned, but why did the Empress Dowager Zhou look at herself?

"Imperial grandmother!" Zhu Youzhu arrived before he made a sound, and in the end he relieved Zhang Wan's siege.

Then, Zhu Youzhu opened the curtain and stepped into the inner hall. He looked at the girl sitting next to his grandmother and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. "Miss Zhang is also there. ”

"Your Highness. Zhang Wan got up and gave a blessing.

"Zhang'er," Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help laughing when she looked at the pair of children in front of her, "Why are you back again?"

Grandmother looked at her thoughtfully, which made Zhu Youzhu blush. He withdrew his gaze from looking at Zhang Wan and sat down beside Empress Dowager Zhou with a smile.

"Imperial grandmother, tomorrow the monk will enter the palace to pray for blessings, and the grandson wants to live in Cining Palace today, so as to touch the blessings of his grandmother. Zhu Youzhu also knew that the excuse he was looking for was really not good. But now that time is in a hurry, he can't manage so much.

Fortunately, I grew up in Cining Palace since I was a child, and even if my grandmother was suspicious, I am afraid she would not think much about it.

Sure enough, when Empress Dowager Zhou heard this, she couldn't help but smile and nodded. "You kid, you can live if you want, when will you learn to say these flattering words? Is it possible, can grandmother still drive you away?"

After speaking, she looked up at Zhang Wan who was standing on the side.

"It's not too early, and the mourning family is tired. Wan'er, you take Jie'er to the side hall to rest. ”

When Zhang Wan heard this, she could only nod indifferently and answer "yes", but Zhu Youzhang's face turned inexplicably red, he knew that his grandmother must have misunderstood something.
