Chapter 23: Labor
Enigmatic silence.
The little emperor looked left and right, and laughed out loud: "I tease you naughty, look at what I have bluffed you into." ”
Mei Rui came back from the shock, and felt like crying without tears: "Your Majesty, don't tease the slave like this next time." ”
"Huh, why?" The little emperor glanced at Lu Zhi obliquely, and saw that there was no wave on his face, and he felt very bored, but Mei Rui's expression made him full of interest, "Are you serious Rui Rui?" If you are serious, I am very tolerant, and I am not unable to ......."
Mei Rui raised her eyebrows: "Thank you for your kindness, the slave maid has told His Majesty before, the family has been engaged to the slave and maid, and the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders are also expected to be forgiving." ”
The little emperor scratched his head and said in distress: "Don't you like Lu Zhi Rui?" ”
When did she say she liked Lu Zhen? Mei Rui raised her head suddenly, and the little emperor wrinkled her eyebrows: "But I have heard that you have already been to Lu Zhi and lived with him!" ”
Where did these words come from, Mei Rui's hands and feet were cold, Lu Zhi stood aside silently with her hands folded, and when she saw that her face was not quite right, she opened her mouth and said to the little emperor: "Where did you hear these words, Your Majesty?" ”
The little emperor raised his head innocently and cutely, squinted his eyes and smiled: "I walked by the Taiye Pond that day to eat, and it seemed that someone was talking behind the rockery, so that the people behind me were silent, and I stepped forward alone to listen to what they were saying. Roughly speaking, Rui Rui deliberately went to Changle Gate to wait for you to get off duty, went out of the palace with you, and drove in the same car with you the next morning. ”
He paused and said with great certainty: "It is said that many people have seen it!" At that time, Rui Rui looked very tired, and they said that this must be the case, and they would not be able to escape! I didn't expect that people like Lu Hujun would also be greedy for beauty, which means that Aunt Mei Rui rushed to the front of the palace on an errand, and there is a relationship between feelings. ”
The little emperor imitated it vividly, Mei Rui listened to it, she remembered the situation that day, she only blamed it for being too sleepy at that time to take care of anything else, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and she pushed herself to the forefront. Lu Zhi was still calm, and even asked: "Then what about later, they didn't find you?" ”
"Later, Ma Zhen coughed lightly, and the two of them were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground, shaking like chaff," the little emperor said with a smile, "Someone said behind my back that you and Rui Rui, I must not be happy!" Besides, I said that you are that kind of person, so I asked them, what kind of person is Lu Hujun? They trembled and couldn't even speak, and I couldn't see them out of sight and didn't bother, so I rewarded them with thirty boards. ”
In the eyes of the Son of Heaven, even punishment is a reward, and Lu Zhi chuckled: "Then the minister dared to ask His Majesty, what kind of person does His Majesty think the minister is?" ”
"Father tells me that you are a good person, and I listen to my father." The little emperor didn't hesitate, "And you haven't harmed me." He raised his head, his eyes clear, "Lu Zhen, I believe in you." ”
His mother concubine is the only favorite concubine of Emperor Huai, but it is a pity that Emperor Huai cherishes his child and has always protected him well. He has never participated in the cruelty of the battle for succession, he has a clear heart, and Lu Zhi sighed imperceptibly: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's high expectations." ”
The little emperor laughed and had two dimples on his cheeks, he suddenly turned his head, looked at the silent Mei Rui, raised his voice and asked, "Rui Rui, what kind of person do you think Lu Zhi is?" ”
Mei Rui snorted, obviously not detached from the words of the little emperor before, and replied with some reluctance: "The protector is the pillar of the country, and the blessing of Dajin ......"
When it came to this question, she was very perfunctory, and the little emperor was very patient and persuasive: "What else? ”
Mei Rui felt that her high fever probably hadn't subsided yet, and she might have been dizzy by the remarks of those palace people just now, and said groggily: "Protect him...... Very good......"
"Where's the good?"
She turned her head slightly, and the outline of Lu Zhen's side face fell into her eyes, and her throat was dry and itchy, like a fire, she swallowed her saliva and said in a low voice: "The protector is good anywhere." ”
Or Huaizhu noticed that something was wrong with her, and an arrow stepped up, supported her, and hurriedly called: "Rui Rui, what's wrong with you?" ”
She raised her hand to touch it, Mei Rui's forehead was amazingly hot, and she whispered: "Why is it so hot?" It's all right! ”
The little emperor was also anxious, and was about to come up to learn from Huaizhu to touch Mei Rui's forehead, but Lu Zhi hugged him away from the bedside and bowed to him: "Your Majesty's dragon body is important." ”
He frowned and stomped his feet: "But Lu Zhen, Rui Rui is still feverish!" ”
Lu Zhi lowered his eyes and didn't let him: "Just let the imperial doctor come and see this little thing, you don't need to worry, carefully pass the illness to you." ”
Unable to resist Lu Zhen, the little emperor reluctantly glanced at Mei Rui, Huai Zhu had already helped her to lie back, he muttered unhappily: "Then I will go back to Zichen Hall first, you look at Rui Rui here, and you will come to see me again when Rui Rui is well." ”
This edict was indecent, what Lu Zhi wanted to say, the little emperor seemed to have made a decision, and waved his sleeves to stop his words: "I have made a decision, Aiqing doesn't need to say much." ”
After speaking, he beckoned Zhao Fu San'er: "You follow me." He beckoned Huaizhu again, "You too." ”
Huaizhu was dumbfounded, a little incredulous, but the little emperor nodded at her, and his two heroic eyebrows twisted slightly: "It's you, do you want me to say it a third time?" ”
The holy order cannot be violated, even if Huaizhu is not happy, he has to leave with the little emperor, as for the palace attendants in the palace, the little emperor has all been dismissed, and the little emperor said to Lu Zhi earnestly before leaving: "You don't have to worry about me, there are so many people around me who can take care of me." You can just take care of Rui Rui with peace of mind, so that Rui Rui will get better soon. ”
He licked his lips and looked like a greedy cat: "I'm still thinking about the sugar cake she made." ”
Immediately led Fu San'er and Huaizhu out, Lu Zhi stood in place with an unpredictable expression, and after a long time, he chuckled abruptly, and invited another palace attendant who was relieved to take care of Mei Rui, and also went out to go back to the duty room.
The assassin confessed that he was assigned by King Gong, and Lu Zhi turned his finger around, and then turned it again, and instructed his guards: "Prepare the car, I want to go to King Gong's mansion." ”
Walking through the downtown area, Prince Gong's Mansion is in Huaiyuan Fang, King Gong is a very interesting and elegant person, quiet in the middle of the noisy, the name of the other garden is called Jing Yuan. The carriage and horse stopped in front of the Zhu Gate, and had already sent someone to pass the greetings, and there was already a small man in Tsing Yi waiting in front of the door, and he saw Lu Zhi climbing the stairs and hurriedly greeted him: "The guard, please come with the villain." ”
Lu Zhi nodded, followed behind the little maid, walked through the hall, and saw King Gong in a water pavilion. He stepped forward and waved at King Gong, lowered his eyes and said, "The minister sees the prince." ”
"Protectors don't have to be polite." King Gong is kneeling down and making tea behind a few short sides, he is about the same age as Lu Zhen, but he looks at the eyebrows and is more indifferent, probably the red dust and mundane things can't see in his eyes, and no amount of hustle and bustle can get into his ears. I heard that some time ago, a Taoist priest lived in his house, and he talked about Taoism with King Gong every day, and brought this prince to take the alchemy pill by the way. Lu Zhi looked at King Gong's appearance, and was afraid that in a few years, he would be ascended.
In the fragrance of tea, King Gong poured a small cup of tea for Lu Zhi, pushed it in front of Lu Zhi, and asked, "Is there anything important about the escort coming this time?" ”
"I disturbed the peace of the prince, and the minister is really guilty," Lu Zhi said, but he couldn't see the slightest shame, he took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to King Gong, "The minister has a confession here, and I also ask the prince to look at it." ”
King Gong rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his arms a few times to receive the confession, and his every move exuded the breath of fireworks that did not eat the world, but in the world, how could he not be stained with dust, unless he really became an immortal, everything was mundane.
The confession King Gong only read once, and then put it on the table, the boiling water on the stove gurgling, and the elegant people and tea all pay attention to the beauty of the four together, tea, water, fire, and utensils are indispensable. The long-term Qing cultivation made King Gong look extremely pure-hearted, and he didn't see an angry look on the identification in the confession, but said: "Is this why the protectors are here?" ”
"Exactly," Lu Zhi sat precariously, "The prince has been hiding from the world for a long time, and I am afraid that the prince cannot afford such a crime." ”
"Conspiracy against such a thing, whether this king escapes the world or not, he can't afford it," King Gong raised his eyes and looked directly at Lu Zhen, "but since the protectors are willing to come to see this king before they are convicted, this king knows that there is room for change." He bowed his hand to Lu Zhen, "This king would like to hear the details." ”
King Gong's appearance really looked like it was none of his business, Lu Zhen's hand was shrouded in wide sleeves, and he secretly fiddled with his fingers, and only spoke after a while: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, the minister thinks that the prince is innocent." ”
"Oh?" King Gong seemed to only follow Lu Zhen's words, "The confession is here, but the guards still believe that this is not what this king did?" ”
Lu Zhi smiled, the assassination of the burial day was already in his hands, who the main messenger was in his heart, he was clear, the only variable was Mei Rui.
Because he knew the other party's plan, when the tip of the knife pointed at the little emperor, he was already prepared, and he was preparing to push the little emperor away to block this knife, who knew that there were still people who were faster than him.
The game was all messed up because of her.
The captured Assassin was genuine, but he had planted a few other mermaids in order to take advantage of the chaos and let others suffer the consequences. But when he saw the bright knife embedded in her shoulder, and the blood soaked her front, he suddenly became overwhelmed, and even forgot the instructions, and wasted his previous plan.
Afterwards, she was annoyed, so she asked her why she did that, and anyone would shout the word "rescue", but when it came to life and death, few people could put it into practice. But she told him calmly that maybe it was for money, or for people.
She doesn't look like she is greedy for money, otherwise why would she have been doing nothing in the Literature Museum before. She has only been with the little emperor for a few months, and she may not be loyal to the emperor so far. Could it be that what she calls a person is referring to him?
