Chapter 260: A distress signal?
After going around for almost half an hour, I heard Cao Jing say, "It's here." "Because he is the prince, he doesn't dare to take a long detour.
The prince endured it all the time, just followed, as long as he could reach the destination he was going to.
Wang Da gritted his teeth and secretly swore in his heart that if he dared to let the prince go for so long, he must make this Cao Jing look good.
Cao Jing was actually giving his subordinates time so that they could move Cao Shouzhi to where they were going.
"This is the Accord, where the master of the slave lives." Cao Jing bowed and replied.
The princes looked up, and sure enough, they saw a plaque with the word "Accord" written on it.
In appearance, the Accord is very elegant.
At this moment, they had no intention of enjoying the scenery of the Accord, they just wanted to see Cao Shouzhi soon. What happened to this person who was still here by the Marquis of Anqing Mansion and hidden by Cao Jing?
After entering the Accord, bypassing a hand-copying verandah, and turning to the inner room, they finally met Cao Shouzhi.
Under the window lattice, an emaciated figure sat in a wheelchair with his back to them.
Seeing this, Cao Jing stepped forward and said respectfully: "Master, the prince is here to see you." ”
The back figure always maintained a posture, and judging from the side expression, he was not admiring the scenery outside the window lattice, but looking in one direction. Geler quickly sorted out the component map of Cao's Mansion in his mind, although Cao Jing deliberately took them around, but this will not affect Geler's keen analysis of the terrain.
This Accord should be to the east of Caofu, and the location is not too ...... Grad quickly searched for the exact location. He'd been to this place, and he hadn't noticed what the yard was when it was dark, but he did. At first, it was the same as the backyard, it was pitch black, and there were no people living inside.
Grad began to look around, it looked spotless, and someone should be cleaning it every day. It's just that there are fewer things inside, except for some tables, chairs, benches, teapots and cups that are used daily, it seems to be gone. But. There are a lot of decorations.
"It's so presumptuous!" Wang Da rebuked angrily.
Cao Shouzhi didn't even move his eyelashes.
Cao Jing can't stand it anymore, if he continues like this, he may anger the prince, and he won't have to suffer at that time.
Cao Jing forcibly turned the wheelchair around, a ninety-degree turn. Cao Shouzhi's whole person was displayed in front of them.
Although he is thin, his face is very delicate, so it seems that he is still somewhat similar to Cao Shouyi's eyebrows. He had a blanket over his legs, and he looked a little bold.
The whole person looks a little decadent. But it doesn't feel like it's what it seems.
"Are you Cao Shouzhi?" The prince asked in a soft tone.
Cao Shouzhi's eyes were fixed on the prince, but he didn't answer.
The prince glanced at Cao Jing suspiciously, could it be that his brain was also injured if his leg was injured.
Cao Jing hurriedly bent over and persuaded: "Master, this is the prince in front of you, you ......"
"I know." Cao Shouzhi said in a light tone.
He can speak, not dumb, this tone, is disdain for the prince?
Cao Jing wiped the sweat from his forehead and stepped aside.
The prince didn't care, and said with a smile: "Today, the palace is here to see you." ”
"Look at me?" Cao Shouzhi sneered. "See what I'm doing?"
He looked hostile, which made the prince a little embarrassed all of a sudden.
Geler stood up to relieve the siege, "Young Master Cao, I heard that you love trees, the prince is quite curious, and wants to come and see those trees, young master, what use can you send." ”
At the mention of trees, Cao Shouzhi's eyebrows were raised, his eyes looked flexible, and his whole face was agile.
And Cao Jing's legs on the side were frightened.
"That's none of my business." Cao Shouzhi thought for a long time and said.
"Nothing to do with you?" The prince repeated in confusion.
Cao Jing jumped out. looked panicked and said: "Prince, it seems that the master of the slave has committed today's old problem again." ”
"Old problem?" Wang Da exclaimed.
Hearing these three words, Cao Shouzhi smiled bitterly.
Geler had been paying attention to Cao Shouzhi's smile.
"My master is very forgetful, and he forgets what he has done for a while. But I'll remember it again in a few days. Cao Jing reluctantly explained.
This explanation is very far-fetched, and the princes naturally will not believe it.
Cao Shouzhi looked normal, his gaze was not distracted at all, not like Cao Jing described.
Cao Shouzhi seemed to notice that Geler was looking at him, and did not show disgust. just gradually showed a pleading expression and pursed his lips. A complaining look.
What did he want to say?
Cao Jing was explaining the matter of the tree to the prince, and he didn't notice Cao Shouyi at all.
And Cao Shouyi will also pay attention to whether Cao Jing turned around to look at him from time to time.
Geler quickly made a judgment that Cao Shouzhi was asking him for help. Is he in danger?
That's right, he searched the entire Cao Mansion but didn't find Cao Shouzhi, which can only have one explanation, Cao Shouzhi was locked up by them, and he is sure that he has been locked up in some cellar or something.
These were just Grad's guesses, and he had to find a way to confirm them.
"I heard that you are the orphan of the uncle, why do you live here?" The prince ripped away from the topic of trees and chatted about homely things.
"I'm not used to living there." Cao Shouzhi replied.
"Usually you live alone in such a big house, but will you be lonely? Hongu can send someone to chat with you from time to time. The prince said with a smile.
Cao Jing was shocked, why did the prince dare to be so interested in Cao Shouzhi? Cao Jing looked worried, and glanced out of the gate from time to time.
I've been there for a while, and it's time to come back. Could it be that Marquis Anqing and the prince happened to be not in the house?
"Is there anything else wrong with your body? The Imperial Palace of Ming asked the Imperial Doctor to come and show you. ”
Cao Shouzhi didn't know the prince's motives, but he knew very well that King Qin and the crown prince were opposites, which meant that the Marquis of Anqing and the crown prince were opposites.
Only the people who are opposed to An Qinghou are the people who can be used by him Cao Shouzhi.
"Thank you prince, that is, the leg is crippled, and the rest of the place is very good." His answer was a deliberate hint at something.
Grad had already heard it, and the prince had a rough idea in his heart.
"Why are you so thin when you look at this palace? But what you eat is not to your liking? ”
Cao Jing stood aside and muttered in his heart: This prince is in a panic, he has nothing to do to come to care about Cao Shouzhi's food?
"It's just that the appetite is not very good in the summer, and people lose weight. Now that the hot summer days have passed, I think the appetite will gradually improve. "His appetite will definitely be great, he will eat more, take care of his body, and there will be hope for a qiē.
"Yes, the master has not been able to eat anything in the past few months, and he wants to vomit when he sees greasy. The slave has ordered someone to start recuperating for the master, and he will definitely get better. Cao Jing echoed.
Gre whispered a few words in the prince's ear, and the prince said goodbye, saying that he was leaving. Before leaving, Grad glanced at Cao Shouzhi. (To be continued.) )
