Chapter 51: Father and Son Meet (1)
In the hall, rows of yellow brocade cloth are neatly placed on the dining table, and there is a wide screen in the hall, through which you can see the busy chef on the other side, and from time to time there are palace people who bring the prepared dishes to the dining table here.
A small fluffy red head arched out from under the yellow brocade cloth, and the big black eyes smiled slyly when they saw Chu Yun'er who was secretly looking at the dining room in the corner of the window.
"Hongyu, come out, come out quickly" Chu Yun'er hid in the corner of the window and called in a low voice, fortunately, no one had found Hongyu yet. People die for money, birds die for food, and the snack of red jade is really fat, and even the emperor's kitchen dares to break in.
Hongyu didn't seem to hear Chu Yun'er's anxious call, but instead exposed her whole body, rubbed on the dining table generously, sniffed this, tasted that, and after a while, all the food plates were stained by it.
Chu Yun'er stroked her face, and several black lines slid down her forehead, hoping that Hongyu did not carry any contagious viruses.
The full-fed Hongyu finally remembered Chu Yun'er who was still outside the window, and when she was about to return to her arms, she didn't forget to pick up a huge duck leg before leaving, and came to the windowsill, where she put the duck leg in Chu Yun'er's hand, with a gesture of inviting merit and reward, and her bright eyes proudly invited Chu Yun'er to taste the food it took.
"Who? Who's there" An unfamiliar and somewhat immature voice suddenly sounded.
Chu Yun'er and the second master, who had been standing behind her, looked up at the source of the sound at the same time, and a little eunuch in blue clothes was standing at the corner of the screen, looking at the two people and a fox in the window in astonishment.
Chu Yun'er secretly said in her heart that it was not good, and at the moment when the second master grabbed her waist and dodged and flew away, she accurately grabbed the red jade that was still complacent, and the two of them quickly disappeared into the night.
The sound of broken porcelain attracted the busy palace people on the side of the screen.
"Look for death, how do you work......" The consul eunuch was furious.
The little eunuch was terrified, and said, "Yes...... There are thieves, stealing ...... Stealing vegetables" He saw the face of the man outside the window very clearly, he was fortunate to have seen him without a mask, that person did not see anyone dead or dead, the emperor looked for half a year and still had no clue, how could he fall to the point of being a thief, or a thief who stole his own house.
The consular eunuch checked slightly, and found that most of the dishes on the dining table had been moved, which was okay, and dared to steal in the imperial dining room, so he quickly ordered someone to summon the commander of the Praetorian Guard who was patrolling nearby.
A group of guards patrolled the traces left by the second master, and finally found them who had not left.
The second master took Chu Yun'er and leaped on the glazed tile roof of the palace, and General Qin behind him chased after him with a group of guards.
In the garden outside the gate of another palace, a young man in a white brocade robe and a jade crown was half-drunk and half-awake waving the long sword in his hand, and several palace people with lanterns around him carefully avoided it, and the man raised the sprinkling altar in his hand, and when he wanted to drink again, he found that the sprinkling altar was empty, so he vaguely said to a blue-robed eunuch in front of him: "Go...... Go get a sprinkle."
The little eunuch who was summoned looked anxiously at the white figure in the middle who was already drunk, and begged: "Your Highness, you can't drink anymore, today's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, not only do you not show up, but you are also drunk and unconscious, if the emperor blames it, the slaves can't afford it."
"Chinese New Year's Eve feast, haha...... Chinese New Year's Eve, all absent, what is the defense if I am missing" The man suddenly laughed, a little helpless in his laughter, and also revealed a sadness for the loss of a loved one.
When the little eunuch was about to continue the persuasion, the man suddenly jumped to the top of the temple behind him.
This time it was really dead, a group of archers with torches surrounded Chu Yun'er and the second master in the middle of a garden, Chu Yun'er looked at the man in white who suddenly appeared in front of him with annoyance, and wanted to poke his eyes, but he suddenly appeared out to block the second master's way, and in an instant they were caught up by the people behind and were surrounded.
The silver-white arrow tips flashed with a cold light in the light of the firelight, which made people feel chills. Chu Yun'er's brain teaser was turning, what to do, how to get out, fortunately, this group of people didn't release arrows immediately, they just surrounded them, and it was not a way to confront them like this, if one of them accidentally trembled with his hands, they would not be able to see the sun tomorrow. It's just that the man in white and the commander of the Praetorian Guard have strange expressions, their expressions seem to be very surprised, more like surprise.
A moment later, another group of people came outside the garden, and a group of guards surrounded a tall yellow figure and walked quickly. The man walked outside the bow and arrow encirclement and couldn't wait to push away the two archers, and his cloudy eyes looked at Chu Yun'er and the second master in the middle of the crowd with anticipation.
After looking at it for a moment, a surprise gradually appeared on the man's face, and tears seemed to be glistening in his cloudy eyes. He raised his left hand, and the archers quickly withdrew, and he walked in front of Chu Yun'er step by step, seeing that the second master had been expressionless, looking at him with an unfamiliar look, he shifted his gaze to Chu Yun'er, and a smile appeared on his face.
Chu Yun'er opened her big black eyes and looked at this kind-eyed old man suspiciously, and the chill in her heart gradually dissipated.
"How did you come here," the Emperor spoke first, his hoarse, gentle voice breaking the silence of the night and banishing the tension.
"We ...... We're just passing by," Chu Yun'er stammered.
"Who is he?" the Emperor asked meaningfully.
"He's my brother, we really didn't mean it, it's just ...... Curious, it's so big, it's so beautiful, and I'll never break into it in the future."
The smile on the emperor's face widened, and he said, "You can come often in the future, and come openly."
Chu Yun'er opened her mouth in surprise, she didn't know why, what was the situation, the emperor who controlled the fate of a country and the life and death of ten thousand people was so amiable, and invited them to come to the palace often to play, no matter how much he was, it was important to run for his life first.
"Second master, let's go" As soon as he left, the second master grabbed Chu Yun'er's waist and jumped onto the roof, and disappeared into the night in a few leaps.
In the imperial study, the emperor sitting behind the desk sighed, looked at the two people on the Taishi chair below, and said, "Don't leak the slightest bit of news about tonight's incident, you two will treat it as if nothing happened."
"Erchen (subordinates) obey orders," Wan Yixuan and General Qin replied at the same time.
"Father, the second brother seems to have lost his memory, how can his hair turn white" Wan Yixuan, who had been guilty for half a year, finally threw away his decadence, he lost his mother since he was a child, and the queen treated him like his own child, although he and the second prince were not compatriots, but they were closer than brothers, but the person who had been treated like a brother was plotted against because of himself, how could he forgive himself.
"You all go down, I have my own opinion on this matter"
