856 intentions, from now on the king does not reign early
The food intercepted by Steward Cao will naturally not fall into the mouths of the next person. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Steward Cao ordered someone to pick two side dishes, warm a pot of wine, and asked the guards in the palace to send them to Prince Xiao in the palace quickly.
"You must personally hand it over to the prince, and tell the prince that the princess has prepared a table of dishes for the prince to eat together, and the princess is very disappointed before the prince comes back." This is the truth, Steward Cao doesn't think there's anything wrong with saying this.
Of course, the princess knew that he would definitely be angry when he took it upon himself to deliver food to the prince, but the princess was angry about this matter for a while at most; If the prince didn't know about tonight's events and couldn't help the princess, the princess would definitely be unhappy for a long time.
For the sake of the harmony and stability of the palace, he can only sacrifice his ego.
The guards obviously knew about today's events, and immediately hurried to the palace, and after proving their identity, they ran all the way to King Xiao's temporary office.
The house was brightly lit, and it could be seen that King Xiao was still dealing with official business at this time. For a moment, the guards wanted to go back, and the subordinates of King Xiao's Mansion knew that when the prince was doing it, he couldn't disturb anything that wasn't important.
Things like eating with the princess really can't be considered important, right?
However, the guard thought about it and felt that the princess was unhappy should be an important matter.
The princess and the princess are not happy, and the prince will definitely not be happy, and the two masters will be in a bad mood at that time, and everyone should not want to have a good life.
For the sake of the palace, the guards stepped forward and asked the little eunuch guarding the door to go in and report, but before the words were finished, the little eunuch shook his head again and again: "No, no, the prince said, no one should disturb." ”
"I have a ......" the guard said again, but he still didn't finish speaking, and was interrupted by the little eunuch: "The slave knows that you are from Xiao Wangfu, you have something to do to go in by yourself, and the villain doesn't dare to stop you." "Kill him and don't go in, he doesn't have the courage to disturb Lord Xiao.
Xiao Wangye was too serious when he was serious about his work, he really didn't dare.
The guard glared fiercely at the little eunuch who was afraid of death, straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Lord Wang, humble Tianqi, ask to see the prince." ”
Tianzihao is King Xiao's henchman and personal guard, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been able to come here smoothly.
"Come in." Inside the house, there was a cold voice from King Xiao, and the joy and anger could not be heard from the voice, but Tianqi's heart still skipped a beat in shock.
Before this, no one had ever dared to disturb the prince's office, this was the first time, I hope the prince will look at the princess's face and not care about his recklessness.
"Lord Wang." The guard came in, his hand clenched with the food box.
"What?" Xiao Tianyao put down the unfinished fold in his hand.
He knew that his men would never bother him if there was nothing important.
"This ...... It was prepared for you by the princess. The guard lifted the food box, but did not dare to rush forward.
"Princess?" Xiao Tianyao was shocked, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his face was still serious: "Take it." "It's rare that the woman still remembers him, but it's a pity that she didn't send it in person, which is a little regrettable.
The guard carefully placed the food box in front of Xiao Tianyao, and the smart one didn't take it upon himself to open it.
Xiao Tianyao suppressed the joy in his heart, pretended not to care, and carried the food box in front of him, opened it expressionlessly, and when he saw the dishes in the food box, he couldn't help frowning: Why are all cold dishes? It's still a dish he doesn't like very much.
However, thinking that Lin Chujiu didn't spend much time with him, and it was normal to not know what he liked to eat, Xiao Tianyao didn't care about it generously.
"Let's get out." After a busy day, he was indeed hungry, and the food sent by Lin Chujiu was too timely.
King Xiao, who was overjoyed, automatically ignored the cold dishes that only had two plates in the food box and couldn't be eaten, and only cared about Lin Chujiu's intentions.
"Lord Wang, there is one more thing ......" The guards finally understood at this time, why the little eunuch outside the door did not dare to come in.
In the face of the serious prince, the pressure is too great.
"Say." Xiao Tianyao's eyes swept over the two dishes on the table and fell on the guards, faintly impatient.
The guard swallowed his saliva, closed his eyes and said quickly: "Lord, the princess personally went to the kitchen tonight afternoon to arrange the dishes, waited for the prince for two hours, did not wait for the prince to come back, and went to the backyard to eat alone." ”
After speaking, the guard quietly opened his eyes and glanced at Xiao Tianyao, and saw that Xiao Tianyao was still serious and expressionless, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, after the humble post is finished, the humble post is retired." ”
The guard bowed and retreated, but as soon as he took two steps, he was stopped by Xiao Tianyao: "Slow!" ”
"Yes, lord." The guards stood straight, but they didn't dare to look at Xiao Tianyao.
"Stay outside tonight, and don't let anyone in or out." Xiao Tianyao got up, didn't even clean up the folds on the table, only put the two dishes he had just taken out back into the food box, carried them in his hands, and walked out.
"The king, the prince?" Looking at Prince Xiao who walked past him, the guards were dumbfounded.
He, he, did he see it wrong? Is the prince leaving his official duties behind and going back to the house to accompany the princess to dinner?
"Guard, no one is allowed to enter or leave except this king." There are a number of important excerpts in it, a third of which he has given instructions and cannot fall into anyone's hands until he publishes them.
"Commanded by humility." The guard stood up with a "snap", made a military salute, turned around and stood behind Xiao Tianyao, went out with Xiao Tianyao, and then locked the door.
"Lord Wang, what do you command?" The little eunuch who was guarding not far away saw Xiao Tianyao come out and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Lead the way, this king wants to leave the palace." Xiao Tianyao opened his mouth coldly, and the little eunuch who had nothing to do to take the food box carried it in his hand.
No matter how anxious he was in his heart, he would not show it at this moment. He didn't want people to know how important Lin Chujiu was to him for the time being, it was too dangerous for Lin Chujiu.
"Yes, yes." The little eunuch held a lantern and walked quickly to lead the way.
After a short time, the little eunuch sent King Xiao out of the palace, and without waiting for the little eunuch to speak, King Xiao took the food box, turned over on his horse, and rode away.
King Xiao's every move in the house, no one could spy on half a minute, but once he left the house, there were countless pairs of eyes in the dark, staring at his every move. As soon as King Xiao left on the front foot, he was carrying a food box on the back foot, and the news of his eagerness to return home quietly spread.
"The guards of King Xiao's Mansion brought a food box to see King Xiao, and without saying a few words, King Xiao hurried out of the palace with the food box? What's inside the box? ”
"What is so important that King Xiao puts down his official duties and returns home?"
"The food box is by no means an ordinary thing, and the people of Xiao Wangfu use the food box, which must be to hide people's eyes."
……
This night, countless people lost sleep because of the food box in King Xiao's hand, they guessed many things, and even guessed that the food box contained jade seals, but no one guessed that it was eating.
Lin Chujiu didn't know that just two inconspicuous side dishes made most of the people in the capital move, and even some people with weak hearts began to feel uneasy......
