Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Undercurrent
In September, he left the palace unscathed, and the news that Xia Ruqian had taken refuge in the prince was smoothly brought into the palace. The emperor was almost furious www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion and smashed half of the antiques in the imperial study, but Prime Minister Xia Cheng still agreed with the emperor's order to get rid of Xia Ruqian in his heartache. A dead soldier is on standby, and under the calm of Kyoto, there is a hidden killing machine.
Su Yu also heard the wind from the guards, he was very anxious, but he couldn't see Xia Ruqian, so he could only send a team of men and horses to guard around the palace day and night, for fear that there would be any variables.
The Nine Princes knew the emperor's temperament, and the chess pieces sent to the palace were plotted against him, and they must have fought back, so he transferred all the secret guards back to defend the palace. These people were all selected from a young age and had spent some time in Xue Chenrui's Xue Family Fort, and ordinary warriors could not compete with them.
At this time, the palace can be said to be impregnable. The emperor's dead soldiers came one after another, but even Xia Ruqian's small courtyard had not entered.
Prime Minister Xia has already accepted the fact that Xia Ruqian will die, and the people sent out at this time have not succeeded, and he is a little happy and a little anxious.
The emperor was very displeased, but he lost more than a dozen dead soldiers, and he no longer attacked, he informed the dead soldiers to search for the timing of Xia Ruqian's exit, and then make plans.
The dark wave began to calm down a little.
Xia Ruqian was a little surprised when he learned that someone had tried to sneak into the palace to kill him in recent days, but he didn't even see the shadow of the assassin, and he was more sure of the ability of the Nine Princes.
"Yan Xi", Xia Ruqian has been very relaxed recently, and has resumed her life of playing the piano and practicing calligraphy, she is lying on the soft couch to read, Yan Xi's little person, standing in front of the high table, practicing writing. "I'm distracted again, what are you looking at, keep writing."
Yan Xi turned around: "Sister Chenyu is here." ”
Since knowing that Xia Ruqian was not here to harm the Ninth Prince, Xue Chenyu and her have gotten closer, and both of them are girls, and they are generally similar in temperament. Second, Xue Chenyu was really bored living in this palace, and the prince was busy all day long, so he had no time to take care of himself, so he could only come to pester Xia Ruqian to pass the time.
In the past few days, Xia Ruqian has been bored in the house and has not gone out, but Xue Chenyu has been suffocated, and this day she came to urge her again: "I said princess, Xia Ruqian!" You've been bored for a month, it's time to go out for a walk, or you're going to get moldy! ”
"I can't go out, you know, the emperor's people are looking forward to me going out to solve me! Were you bribed by the emperor? Looking forward to me going out every day?! Xia Ru didn't raise his head shallowly, and said while flipping through the scroll.
"What, I didn't. I'm afraid you'll be suffocated in the palace! Besides, with me by your side, I will protect you, but I am also the eldest lady of Xuejiabao, amazing! Xue Chenyu snatched the scroll from Xia Ruqian's hand, propped it up in front of her and said, "Besides, it's been a month, and someone is still coming to assassinate you." ”
"That being said, I'm going to be careful." Xia Ruqian stood up, bypassed her, and poured a cup of tea: "I still cherish my life." ”
"Oh, the prince asked you to take care of it on your behalf, and you just left me in the palace like this, and I was annoyed to death. I'm annoyed, I'm going to the prince to sue you. Xue Chenyu was about to walk out of the yard with a loud noise.
"Chenyu, what are you arguing about?" The Ninth Prince walked into the courtyard and stopped Xue Chenyu, who was walking straight with his head bored.
"Brother Junze, Brother Junze, you have appeared," Xue Chenyu instantly became happy when she saw the Nine Princes, she hugged the Ninth Prince's arm, shook and shook, and suddenly saw Li An behind the Nine Princes, and immediately stared at Li An, pointed at Li An and said: "It's this guard, who stops me every time, and bullies me if I can't beat him!" Brother Junze doesn't care? ”
"Oh, you can't beat Ang Lee?" The Ninth Prince looked back at Li An, and smiled in his words: "Li An was ordered by me, I was busy in the study, didn't I come to see you now?" Why is it so stuffy? ”
"You princess, you are very timid, I said that I would protect her, and you still refused to go out with me." Xue Chenyu said angrily.
"Lord Wang." Xia Ruqian saluted the Nine Princes, turned his head to Xue Chenyu and said, "Some people can't even beat Li An, the guard of the palace, and they say that they want to protect me." ”
"Hey, didn't I fight him seriously, do I fight again?" Xue Chenyu immediately rolled up his sleeves and wanted to try it out with Li An. The Ninth Prince hurriedly said, "Didn't Chenyu want to go out for a walk?" This king will take you to the 'feast of the four directions'. ”
The Ninth Prince prepared the carriage and stood with his hands behind his back at the gate of the palace, waiting for Xia Ruqian and Xue Chenyu to change their clothes.
Li An took a step forward when he got the news: "Lord Wang, Dark Seven They are back, saying that they have something important to report, and they are waiting in the study." ”
The Ninth Prince looked at the carriage and said to the guards guarding the door: "Wait for the princess and Xue Chenyu to come, let them wait for a while, and this king will come when he goes." With that, he turned around and walked towards the study.
Sure enough, in a corner of the study, there was a hidden figure, and because of the angle, it was difficult to find that there was someone there if you didn't look closely.
As soon as the ninth prince entered the study, the figure quickly bowed his head and saluted: "Lord, Liu Dudu is the hand of the people from the Nian Pavilion, and he has now been sent back to the Mingli Mansion, and the Mingli Mansion is sorting out the evidence to play the emperor." ”
"I already know about it. Anything else? ”
"Lord Wang, according to your instructions, Dark Jiu and I also went to collect some evidence, and when we were tracking down Liu Dudu's subordinate Sima Li, we found Ji Bai, a close confidant of the emperor."
"What?" The Nine Princes frowned when they heard this. He turned the jade wrench in his hand, and was very surprised: Why did Ji Bai frame Liu Dudu? Is it the emperor's will? What is the reason for this?
The Ninth Prince turned his head to Li An and said, "You go and tell the princess and Chenyu that this king has something to do today, and I will accompany them to dinner another day." ”
"Yes."
Li An responded, and before he was discharged from the hospital, he met Xue Chenyu, who couldn't wait.
As soon as Xue Chenyu saw Li An, his face turned cold: "Hmph, get out of here, Brother Junze promised to accompany me to dinner, and you dare to stop me?" ”
"Miss Xue, the prince has a life, there is something important today, I can't accompany the girl, please forgive the girl." Ang Lee hugged his fists.
"What? No, you get up, I'm going to ask Brother Junze. ”
Xue Chenyu was about to push Li An away as he spoke, Li An stepped forward to stop, Xue Chenyu turned around and made a move, and Li An made a few moves with her.
Xue Chenyu's kung fu is not weak, but it is still slightly worse than Li An, and she is a daughter whose physical strength is not as good as Li An, so she was soon stopped by Li An and couldn't move.
Xue Chenyu glared at Li An, angry, and Li An hurriedly let go of her: "Miss Xue, your subordinates are rude." Please don't embarrass your subordinates. ”
Xue Chenyu was not convinced, but he really couldn't beat it, so he had to leave stupidly. She was walking boredly, and suddenly remembered that Xia Ruqian didn't know yet, thinking that the prince would also go with her, so she thought about it.
