Chapter 53: A Gentleman (5)
At night, the guards guarding the palace gate suddenly ushered in a black carriage and rushed straight towards the palace gate. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Stop, what are you doing?" The guard hurriedly stopped the carriage and asked with an unkind face.
"I am the personal maid of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, Yu Nuan, the Second Prince sent me to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss with the Prime Minister some small matters of the palace banquet the day after tomorrow, I don't know if the official can let it go, this is the token." Yu Nuan said with a flattering expression on her face as she took out a bronze token.
"It's true." The guard took the token, looked at it carefully in the moonlight, weighed it in his hand, and looked at the other guard.
"It's Miss Yunuan! I'm really sorry, a banquet is going to be held in the palace recently, and the order from above is to be strictly investigated, and there may be a check here, Miss Yunuan has offended. The other guard said neither humbly nor arrogantly, as he approached the carriage, and when he reached the carriage he reached out to lift the black drape.
"Your Highness, do you want to check it too?" The curtain of the carriage opened, and Situ Qing's face was exposed from it, and he said in a bad tone.
"The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates don't know that His Royal Highness the Second Prince is sitting in this carriage, if they know, they don't dare to borrow the courage of their subordinates. I also ask the second prince to forgive him, his subordinates did not deliberately offend the second prince. The guard immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to himself as he pleaded for himself.
"I don't blame you, since that's the case, I won't let you go." Situ Qing put down the curtain and said coldly.
"Yes, why don't you hurry up and open the palace gate." The guard quickly got up from the ground and ordered the other guards.
The black carriage slowly departed from the wide open palace gate.
"What can I do? Why did the second prince leave the palace at this time, and what should we do? He didn't seem to have taken the token approved by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to leave the palace. One guard grimaced the other.
"How do I know, you look at the appearance of the second prince just now, do I dare not let him out of the palace? Now I still hurry up to report to the queen, and His Royal Highness the second prince went out of the palace to the prime minister's mansion at night. The other guard frowned and said, he didn't want the guard next to him to think as simple, this prince had just been sent to visit the border pass, these two princes were not honest, and the matter here would not be so simple, so it was better to report it to the queen mother quickly.
These two princes are actually ambitious, they have not been revealed for so many years, and their means are really high, but even if his means are high, there is no strong mother and concubine to support, and they are not liked by the emperor, these two princes are still doing useless work after all, as long as they honestly stand on the side of the queen mother and the prince, when the prince ascends the throne in the future, his future is not bright.
The guard thought about it, looked at the guard next to him and said, "You are guarding here, this is not a trivial matter after all, I will personally report to the queen." ”
In the Queen's Palace, the Queen Mother had already unloaded half of the golden hairpin and was ready to rest.
Hearing this, the gentle smile on Su Rilai's face disappeared, and he pulled off the half-pulled golden hairpin and threw it on the table.
Seeing this, the palace maid Zhiyue, who served the queen to remove her makeup, called softly: "Niangniang, is the eldest brother of the guard still here?" ”
The expression on the queen's face suddenly changed, and she returned to her former gentle appearance and said, "Look at my memory, I have forgotten this, you go back to duty first!" It's hard for you to deliberately report this matter to the palace, it's not a big deal, it's just that the second prince wants to see the prime minister for a while, so you don't have to report it. ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey." The guard respectfully retreated, the queen mother is really easy to talk to!
When the guards left the queen's palace, the queen's face turned pale, she looked at Zhiyue and said viciously: "That slut was born of a slut who is not a stopper, I found out early on that he is an ambitious, look at what I say, if it wasn't for the slut to protect him, he would have died in swaddling clothes, where would there be today's trouble." ”
"Niangniang don't be impatient, even if the second prince is ambitious, he has no concubine, no courtiers' support, and his majesty's liking. It can't be passed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince no matter what, don't worry. Zhiyue said without worrying at all.
"Zhiyue, you are careless, at this time and that time, how do you know that he will not be liked by His Majesty in the future, with the support of the courtiers, one day he will have the ability to fight against the crown prince and compete for the position of emperor? As long as he is the prince, it will be the bane of the future. The queen said with a gloomy face.
"Niangniang, if you are so worried, then you can get rid of him, we have a lot of people in the palace, and it is still easy to clean up a prince who has no power." Zhiyue thought for a while and said.
"Do you think that the second prince is a simple character, how many people have I sent to kill him over the years, but he is still safe and sound, but those who are missing are missing, and none of them can escape with their whole body, this second prince will never be able to stay." The queen said excitedly, Situ Qing is the thorn in her eye, the thorn in the flesh, the grit in the eye, how can she keep it?
Here, the black carriage that Situ Qing was sitting in slowly walked to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Situ Qing exposed his head and instructed the servants in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion: "Please tell the Prime Minister that the things have arrived, please come out and get them." The slave obediently went to report to Li Hao.
Within a moment, Li Hao came out of the mansion, still holding a big cloak in his hand, followed by Mrs. Bailing.
Li Hao saw the carriage, didn't say a word, lifted the curtain, and saw Li Pin lying in the innermost part of the carriage, sleeping with a calm face: "What's going on?" Li Hao looked at Situ Qing in surprise.
"Prime Minister don't worry, Miss is okay but fell asleep, the specific situation Qing is not very clear, Qing was invited into his palace by Cang this afternoon, and saw Miss sleeping there, Cang asked me to tell you that Miss was poisoned by a traitor, he has cured Miss, but he will sleep a little longer, his body is fine, and he will probably wake up tomorrow." Situ Qing said slowly.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, for your help." Li Hao wrapped Li Pin tightly with a cloak and hugged her out of the carriage.
Situ Qing looked at Li Hao and said, "It's not early, His Royal Highness won't bother the prime minister much, so I'll leave." Fu instructed the coachman, "Go back to the palace!" ”
Li Hao hugged Li Pin and returned to Meiyuan with no expression on his face, and Mrs. Bailing followed behind worriedly. After entering the Mei Garden, she took off the cloak after retreating, and Mrs. Bailing saw Li Pin's face at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to touch Li Pin's forehead, and probed Li Pin's snort, and found that Li Pin was really asleep before relieving her heart.
Li Hao stood aside and watched, his eyes were deep and deep, he was really stimulated and scared by this incident one by one, he no longer wanted to risk losing Li Pin, what to take his time, subtly let Li Pin accept him, these are all forgotten, he doesn't want to be by her side as a father who can't be upright, he doesn't want to spend time in constant jealousy and suspicion, he doesn't want to hide his thoughts, even if he uses the most brutal means, he has to trap her by his side.
On the carriage, only Situ Qing and Yu Nuan were left, Yu Nuan was obviously in a very bad mood, and she could hang an oil pot on it if she pouted. Situ Qingquan didn't see Yu Nuan's angry appearance, and calmly leaned on the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate.
The more Yu Nuan endured it, the more angry she became, and she could hold back it at first, but as soon as she saw Situ Qing's appearance, she was angry: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, Your Highness." ”
"What's the matter?" There was no emotion in Situ Qing's voice.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince should not agree to send Miss Li back to the Prime Minister's Mansion today, His Royal Highness knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in the palace now, and the situation in the palace is very delicate, Your Highness, after all, you are fledgling, and you should not face the queen at this time." Yu Nuan said angrily, why is there only that Li Pin in the heart of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and now he does not hesitate to expose himself to the eyes of the queen mother for her, you must know that if you make a mistake in this step, you may lose all these years of hard work.
Why? The second prince did not hesitate to risk his life for Li Pin, just for her reputation, he was willing to take his own life, and he served the second prince with all his heart and soul for many years, he never looked at himself, did he ever think that if he was hurt, how sad he would be.
"Yu Nuan, it's just my own business, you shouldn't ask." Situ Qing listened to Yu Nuan's excited words, and replied flatly, he didn't know Yu Nuan's thoughts about him, but a person's heart is only one, and he can only accommodate one person, this person is not Yu Nuan, not now, and will not be in the future.
He is not a good person, in fact, he just knows Yu Nuan's heart so that he can keep her by his side after knowing the dark side of Yu Nuan's character, this feeling is Yu Nuan's weakness, with this weakness, she will always be in her own hands.
"Second prince, how can you say that? I also have a heart, I'm not a robot, I'm worried about your danger, I'm very worried, can you not do this to me, can you think about your life next time, there will be other solutions, you can take care of my feelings, after all, I have been by your side for many years, this is still a little bit of affection! Yu Nuan looked excited, and said with tears in her eyes, her love is so bitter, this unrequited love has been silently and difficult for so many years, and her heart is bitter.
"Yu Nuan, you have to remember that I can let you meddle in my diet, my clothes, my daily life, and even my plans, and manage my subordinates, but you don't have to worry about Li Pin's affairs, and you can't manage it, let me tell you, I don't regret this matter today, I am willing, I think it is worth it even if I pay the price of my life for it." Situ Qing said slowly.
"How can you do this to me, she doesn't know your intentions, you still ......" Yu Nuan said desperately, tears slowly flowing down her cheeks.
"You don't understand, I don't feel bitter, everything I do for her is very happy in my heart." Situ Qing's voice slowly fell on Yu Nuan's heart, and sentenced her unrequited love to life imprisonment, she would be so desperate.
