Chapter 227: The Prince
Xin Zi's eyes narrowed, trying to identify what was behind the secret door.
Two saber guards walked in quickly, one on the left and one on the right, and carried her out.
Leaving the dark room behind him and climbing all the way up, Xin Zi was smoothly brought back to the high wall that he had just jumped over.
The black-clad assassins were no longer on the high wall.
If she could be given another chance, she would rather be captured by the black-clad assassin than step into the secret room just now.
Xin Zi was led to the foot of the high wall, where stood an old man with white temples and a gorgeous robe.
The old man stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Xin Zi and frowning slightly, his eyes full of confusion.
"This is what you call an assassin from the palace?" The old man pointed at Xin Zi and asked with some disdain at the two guards beside him.
The two guards who had previously fought the black-clad assassin under the high wall knelt down on one knee and replied loudly, "She is one of them." ”
The old man looked at Xin Zi and asked, "Do you know what the crime of creating the palace at night is?" What is the crime of sneaking into the pharmaceutical premises of the Food and Drug Administration? ”
Xin Zi, who had lost his soul since entering the dark room, had been dragged to the high wall like a walking corpse, and did not say a word in the face of the old man's questioning, only after hearing the words "Drug Administration", his body shook slightly.
The old man looked at Xin Zi in confusion, narrowed his eyes, and asked again: "Who is the person behind you?" ”
After waiting for a while, after making sure that Xin Zi did not intend to cooperate, the old man was no longer patient, raised his hand, and said, "Take it down for interrogation." ”
The two guards who held Xin Zi answered, and dragged Xin Zi together to leave.
"Wait a minute!"
A voice came from the other side of the wall.
A row of guards behind the old man instantly unsheathed their swords. Raise your crossbow and look warily in the direction from which the voice came.
The old man just beckoned the guards to put down their weapons and not to make a move.
The man who openly shouted to the old man jumped down from the high wall, followed by only a personal guard, compared to the battle of the old man in front of him, it was much thinner, but the smile on his face and the momentum in his eyes were not lost to the master of the Qi Wangfu opposite.
The old man stared at the man's eyes, wanting to see which play the other party was singing, but he couldn't see through it after all, so he could only take the lead and said coldly: "The virtuous nephew is still interested in coming to this palace to gather at such a late hour?" It's just how to put the front door and not enter. Do you want to climb over the wall? At last he did not wait for the man to answer. Gu sneered twice and said, "I forgot, my nephew is used to those shortcuts from the sideways, and he is unwilling to take the road in a dignified manner?" ”
Facing the cynicism of the prince of Qi. But King Xin was not angry. Surprisingly calmly smiled and stroked his beard. Then he bowed his hand and said respectfully: "It's the little nephew who is reckless, and he forgot the etiquette in a hurry." The little nephew should remember the teachings of the imperial uncle, and he must pay attention to it in the future, be cautious in his words and deeds, and never do such things that insult the identity of the prince. ”
In the face of King Xin's hypocrisy, Prince Qi's face became gloomy, and he had no intention of quarreling with the other party over these meaningless trivial things, so he simply pointed at Xin Zi and asked, "This girl is from Old Man Tang's mansion?" ”
King Xin was still smiling, saluting respectfully, and answered "yes".
King Qi knew in his heart that he must have come for this girl, and he couldn't help but be secretly proud: since he had already fallen into the mouth of the tiger, there was absolutely no reason to let himself spit out the meat in his mouth.
Seeing that this girl's clothes are ordinary, but she would use the dignified King Xin to come here to ask for someone, her background must not be simple.
You must know that although your virtuous nephew will run to the Tang Mansion every once in a while, but for his mansion, which is only separated by a wall from the Tang Mansion, he has not stepped into his own Qi Mansion for three years, and now he has made an exception for this little girl, if she is just an ignorant subordinate in her own mansion who accidentally took the wrong road, he will not buy it.
Thinking like this, King Qi simply did the opposite, and took the lead in making a conclusion: "Your uncle's subordinates in this mansion are too ignorant of the rules? At this time, if it was the time of the war in previous years, the curfew had already passed, and he was still running around, not to mention, and openly broke into the forbidden land of the mansion, so the king disciplined one or two on his behalf, and the nephew felt that it was inappropriate? ”
King Qi looked at King Xin with a smile.
This king has already paved the steps for you, if you go down directly and admit that this is just a subordinate in your house, then this king is not polite, and directly arrests someone and goes back to interrogate him.
If you are unwilling to accept this king's affection, and do not admit that the woman in front of you is just a subordinate, then this king will have to ask clearly, what is the origin of this girl.
In this way, no matter how King Xin responds, he will be able to regain the initiative after all, King Qi threw out the question, and he didn't wait for the other party to answer, and his face was already a little proud.
Unexpectedly, King Xin still smiled tepidly, and gave another salute, and then slowly spoke: "Don't hide it from Uncle Huang, this girl's name is Xin Zi, and she is not a descendant of the Tang Mansion, but she is the wife of Tang Yinbrown, the younger nephew's righteous brother." Although the wedding was simpler and may not have disturbed the imperial uncle, she was indeed the wife of Tang Brother Mingmei. ”
When did Tang Yinbrown have an extra lady? Or is this little girl in front of you who doesn't seem to be able to hit a piece with eight poles?
Prince Qi was shocked by this sudden answer, and looked at King Xin for a long time speechless.
Seeing that the other party's expression doesn't look like he is lying, and there is no need to lie in this matter at all, he just needs to go down and investigate a little whether this girl is Tang Yinbrown's wife, and he will naturally find out.
In this way, it seems that he is careless, and he doesn't even know when Tang Yinbrown married his wife or such a humble woman.
What are the dark lines under his command doing, and he has to clean up the next few days.
But now that the matter has come to this, he has miscalculated, and it is unrealistic to get it back.
If this girl's identity is special, and Zhu Ciyi, this kid, wants to hug her on the one hand, and doesn't want to reveal her identity on the other, then he can make a fuss about her being just a subordinate, and leave her to check slowly in her own house.
But she turned out to be the wife of an official of the Imperial Procuratorate, and it would be rude for her to force her to stay in the mansion with such an identity......
When Prince Qi was thinking about making up his mind, King Xin, who had already won the game, said gently: "Now that the identity of Young Lady Tang has been clarified, what else does Uncle Huang have to ask?" If not, the little nephew will take her back to the Tang Mansion first, and in a few days, Tang Yinbrown will definitely go to the Qi Mansion in person to make amends to the prince, do you think this is appropriate?
