Chapter 116: Temptation (2nd Watch)
Since Da and Xiao Dong parted in the side room of King Hao's mansion, the two have not seen each other much. This time there was an opportunity to go up the mountain to pray for blessings, and Xiao Xun came with Mrs. Ou.
Early this morning, he was supposed to go to the barracks with his eldest brother to train soldiers. When he went out, he saw Xiaodong, his aunt and his mother going out together.
After he learned that Xiaodong was going to Jingshan to pray for blessings, he told his mother on the spot that he was resting today, and then his eldest brother rode on a horse and followed Jingshan with a playful expression.
"Okay, be careful on the road." Xiao Xun looked at Xiao Dong and said with a steady face.
Xiao Dong is so angry that he can't even say a nice word!
"Hmm!"
Xiao Dong nodded heavily, and followed Mrs. Ou back to King Hao's Mansion.
In King Hao's mansion, Chu Yueqing was still staring at the bed curtain on his head with his eyes open. She couldn't move her hands, she couldn't speak, and she didn't know anything about the gossip outside.
Steward Zhang said that there was something important to report, so Xuanyuan Hao went outside.
After a while, Moori came in to take care of her.
She was tempted to ask if something was wrong?
Moori looked at the princess's blinking eyes and said with a smile, "Does the princess miss the princess?" Don't worry, the prince will be back in a while. ”
Chu Yueqing didn't believe it, if Xuanyuan Hao was rescued soon, he wouldn't have left Zhuxin Courtyard at all, and let Mo Zhi come in to take care of her.
Something must have happened!
Xuanyuan Hao did not go far, he was in a room in the West Wing with Steward Zhang and Xiao Xiangzi at this time.
However, they discussed the two dead cats in the morning.
"Lord Wang, it's the minion's fault. Poison your meal under the noses of your minions. Please punish the prince! Xiao Xiangzi knelt on the ground and said.
Xuanyuan Hao helped him up, "Okay, I don't know you yet." ”
He asked Zhang Yan again, "Sir, do you have eyebrows?" ”
Zhang Yan replied, "Not yet, Lord Wang." The cook in the small kitchen has already been interrogated by her subordinates. It's not them. ”
"Well," Xuanyuan Hao pondered for a moment and said, "If that's the case, it's not that there is a ghost in the house." Someone sneaked into the palace and poisoned it. It's also possible. Sir, I also asked Master Ding to strengthen the guards in the house. The number of patrols has been increased from two to three per day. ”
"Yes, lord." The guards of the Hao Wangfu have always been shortcomings, because they have to use absolutely loyal people. Ordinary guards don't. It is easy to apostatize, and the danger will be even greater when the time comes.
However, there are too few people who really support King Lihao. When he first joined King Hao's command, there were many supporters around King Hao, but as King Hao became stupid for more and more time, those people left one by one.
Steward Zhang can't help it, and so far there are only him and Lao Ding left.
"I know there are few guards in the house. Let the brothers bear more care, and after this time the king will give them a vacation and let them go home to see their families. Xuanyuan Hao said.
"The subordinates thanked the prince on their behalf." There seemed to be tears in Zhang Yan's eyes. If the prince hadn't been stupid. What is the situation of these people now?
Xuanyuan Hao stood with his hands in his hands, and his eyes were not shocked. None of the people who follow him, he will not forget jì. When he understands all the things of the world, he will surely give them blessings.
There was a sudden noise outside, "Let me in, if I want to see the princess, you let me in~"
Xuanyuan Hao heard the commotion, came out of the West Chamber, and walked to the gate of Zhuxin Courtyard.
At the doorway, two guards were holding a half-year-old child.
Xuanyuan Hao stood and looked at the child. He was only twelve or thirteen years old, and his body had not yet grown taller, but it was up to his shoulders. But his eyes were black and shiny, and he looked very determined.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"Back to the prince. Slave Chu Ming. ”
At the wedding banquet between Xuanyuan Hao and Chu Yueqing, Chu Ming was the little guy who was responsible for delivering wine and serving food. At that time, he had seen Xuanyuan Hao from afar. He kept Xuanyuan Hao's appearance in mind.
At that time, he thought, I don't know what the master is like this time? Will he be like the young master of the previous family, who likes to beat up the little guys?
Xuanyuan Hao likes the firmness in Chu Ming's eyes, such a person will become a great thing. He asked Chu Ming to raise his head, "Stand up." Keep your chest up and your head up. ”
Chu Ming didn't dare to resist, obediently straightened his waist, and looked at Xuanyuan Hao with imperceptible fear in his eyes.
Xuanyuan Hao frowned slightly, "You came to find the princess, what is the matter?" ”
Chu Ming bit his lip, his face turned pale. Didn't you say that the prince was a fool? Why doesn't it look like it at the moment. Is the question still so organized?
"What? You don't say? Xuanyuan Hao raised his eyebrows.
Steward Zhang was anxious to watch from the sidelines. Chu Ming, this kid, he has an impression. At the beginning, he and his sister sold themselves to bury their father, and he took pity on them for a while, so he bought them.
"If you have any matter, it's the same to sue the prince." Steward Zhang persuaded Chu Ming.
Chu Ming looked at Steward Zhang, and his mouth opened.
No, I can't say. This matter is related to the princess's reputation, and he can't sue the prince.
"Lord Wang." Steward Zhang begged, "This child is still young, maybe I'm scared when I see you." ”
Xuanyuan Hao looked at Chu Ming, "You can't see the princess now, if you have something, tell the king first." This king will tell her for you. ”
Chu Ming's eyes when he looked at Xuanyuan Hao were suddenly full of vigilance.
The prince is not a fool, the princess has been deceived! Why can't he see the princess now? Could it be that the prince already knew, so he put the princess under house arrest?!
Xuanyuan Hao couldn't see distrust in his eyes. He continued, "This king is what he says, and they can all testify." ”
"Nope! You're lying! Chu Ming suddenly refused loudly, and at the same time, Chen's guards were unprepared, and he rushed into the Bamboo Heart Courtyard with a brisk step. He ran desperately to the main house.
Xuanyuan Hao's brows furrowed slightly, could it be that he was going to be unfavorable to Qingqing! So he immediately chased after him.
Chu Ming shouted as he ran, "Princess, princess!" ”
But after all, he couldn't outrun Xuanyuan Hao's long legs, not to mention Xuanyuan Hao's easy success.
Before he could run a few steps, he was caught by Xuanyuan Hao.
Chu Yueqing was in the house and heard the shouts outside. She motioned with her eyes for Moori to go out and take a look.
Moori looked at the princess's eyes and thought about the outside scoop, so she understood the meaning. She got up and walked out of the inner room, opened the door, and saw that the prince had grabbed Chu Ming in his hands.
"Say! Who sent you? Xuanyuan Hao grabbed Chu Ming's clothes on the back of his neck, and his tone was as cold as ice.
Chu Ming ignored it, and still shouted vigorously, "Princess, princess!" ”
Seeing this, Mo Weaving hurriedly walked over, "Lord Wang, Chu Ming is a little guy in the mansion, not a bad person!" ”
Xuanyuan Hao put him down and let the two guards next to him hold him. "Now tell this king what you are looking for the princess, and this king will not blame you."
Mo Zhi persuaded, "Chu Ming, say it quickly!" ”
Chu Ming still didn't say a word, and even looked at Moori with distrust in his eyes. "I'm not going to say it, you're all bad people! Are you putting the princess under house arrest?! ”
Chu Ming roared suddenly, looking like a trapped beast.
Xiang Xuanyuan Hao suddenly laughed, "Okay." The king let you in to see the princess. (To be continued.) )
