Chapter 8: Cui Heng is scheming
Hearing this, the prince subconsciously frowned, raised his head to Cui Yu's inquiring gaze, and was stunned for a moment before he explained with a chuckle.
"Mr. thinks too much, this poison is in the wine jug, and the three cups are all poisonous wine, and now that Luo Kunlun is gone, he will naturally detoxify Mr."
"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, if you keep this poison in your place, it will be worth it to make Your Highness feel at ease."
Cui Yu has the antidote pill in his hand, where to use the antidote of the prince, it is just to say some beautiful words in front of the prince. Saying that, Cui Yu also went on to give himself the poisoned wine and drank it all.
Why is "Sir" so willing to assist me?
When the prince saw Cui Yu like this, his heart was as gloomy as a layer of tarpaulin. The more I couldn't understand Cui Yu, the more I felt that my relationship with Cui Yu was not as simple as more than one holy decree. Cui Yu, as the young master of Xiaoyao Peak, how could he really commit himself to come to the East Palace as a guest because of a holy decree? It's just that he can't ask anything about this, and if Cui Yu really says a reason, he won't necessarily believe it.
"What is the matter with Your Highness?" Cui Yu saw that the prince wanted to speak and stopped, so he opened his mouth to ask.
The prince hesitated, but he didn't ask at all, but just changed the topic and replied, "Mr. has been living in the Prime Minister's Mansion for the past few days, and it is always inconvenient, so let's move here." My husband is my doorman and deserves to live here. ”
And Cui Yu was looking for a place to live, and when the prince mentioned it, he just responded. Not to mention anything else, the scenery of this mansion alone is very suitable for Cui Yu's heart, and she has the opportunity to live at this time without having to pay money, of course she has no reason to refuse.
To say that this mansion is not very big, but it is very exquisite. The residence arranged by Cui Yu is a place full of poetry and books, and even the screens in the room have been replaced by bookshelves. Cui Yu is not interested in poetry, calligraphy and painting, but only likes an ancient tree in the yard. I thought that if I put a bed under this ancient tree, with shade, it should be very pleasant.
And the prince's residence is next to Cui Yu, and the decoration is much more gorgeous than Cui Yu's. The courtyard in the middle of the two places is connected by an arched rattan gate. In the past few days that Cui Yu has lived, the prince has also stayed in this mansion all day long, so that he has a momentum of not planning to return to the East Palace.
However, although the prince lived here, he did not see Cui Yu often. Cui Yu didn't bother to see the prince here, except for being bored, he was also comfortable. When I was bored, I really got a bed and put it under the old tree.
The weather in May is still a little cooler. The prince took the box he had just received from the secret agent, and his eyes fell into deep thought, but his thoughts were disturbed by the cool breeze that suddenly blew, and the windows also creaked.
Looking at the open and closed windows, the prince didn't realize that he thought of Cui Yu, so he went out and walked towards Cui Yu's residence. And Cui Yu was taking a nap on the big bed in the courtyard at this time, because of his deep internal strength, he didn't feel that the weather was cool, but was very comfortable by the slight breeze.
This made the prince who had just come over see such a picture. Under the ancient tree, a man in green clothes was lying on his side, and the breeze blew, and the man's hair and clothes were slightly blown. In that way, it is far from the open and secret struggle in officialdom. This person should be so carefree, different from a person like himself who is obsessed with the power of the eunuch.
Cui Yu was lying on the bed, and when she heard the footsteps coming by, she opened her eyes. From afar, I saw that the prince was standing at the rattan gate, full of luxury. thought that he was still the prince, his appearance and temperament were different, if he wasn't from the court, maybe he could make friends with him. It's a pity that he was not only a member of the imperial court, but also the son of the emperor. And he is not only his guest, but also the daughter of the prime minister who serves the court.
"What happened to Your Highness?"
Cui Yu didn't dare to think about it, but since he saw the prince, he stood up, saluted the prince and said.
"There is one thing to discuss with Mr."
When the Son of Heaven saw Cui Yu seeing him, he walked over generously and said with a chuckle.
"If you talk about this, I owe it to Mr. to remind me before, but in a few days, I got the news."
As he spoke, the prince handed the box in his hand to Cui Yu. Cui Yu looked at the box and knew that it was not a vulgar thing, so he carefully opened the box and found that it was a colorful night pearl inside.
"That day in Wanhualou, Mr. prompted the night pearl. This kind of colorful night pearl is a rare gem, as far as I know, only two were paid tribute from the Western Regions a few years ago. I guessed it came from Meng Gan's hands. Sure enough, another night pearl was found in the warehouse of Taifu Temple. ”
Cui Yu didn't expect that her casual words could make the prince think of Taifu Temple. But thinking about it, the prince recruited Luo Kunlun in order to bring down Meng Gan, I am afraid that even if he didn't say this much at the beginning, the prince would definitely think of other ways to find the flaws in Taifu Temple.
However, this thing was actually found in the warehouse of Taifu Temple, which made Cui Yu unexpected. Such a precious night pearl can be taken to Wanhualou for decoration, Meng Qian actually didn't take it for himself, but put it in the warehouse to cover the ashes, so that the prince's people found it, it was really stupid, thinking of this, Cui Yu couldn't help but shake his head and said.
"This Meng Qian is really stupid."
"Indeed, I don't know that I have become an outcast, which is really pitiful."
The crown prince took Cui Yu's words, and chuckled with some contempt, "But this is too obvious, Meng Qian's house is so tightly guarded, how could this night pearl be so conspicuously placed in the Taifu Temple, and it happened to be found by my people so lightly." I'm afraid that the night pearl inlaid with Wanhualou was also deliberately made by them to show us. Throwing out a Taifu Temple, are they trying to provoke me, or is there some other purpose. ”
As soon as the prince explained this, Cui Yu understood the truth. easily sent out the Taifu Temple, I am afraid that this is hidden behind it, it is a figure that cannot be provoked, and there are people with such ability in the court, but there are only a few people on the left, and as the crown prince, they may not be vulnerable. It's just that now I don't even know who the opponent is, which is annoying.
And the prince saw Cui Yu thinking in a sullen voice, knowing that Cui Yu was thinking about who the other party was, just thinking that Cui Yu had just come to Kyoto and didn't know much about the affairs of the court, so he opened his mouth to remind.
"can be so arrogant, I'm afraid only Cui Heng is the only one."
"What!?" When Cui Yu heard his father's name, his eyes immediately widened, and he subconsciously shouted.
"Today's prime minister, Cui Heng!" The prince said very seriously to Cui Yu, "This person is scheming, and the city is very deep. With his power in Beijing, most of the people who can do such things can only be him. ”
