Chapter 549: Substitutes

"His Royal Highness the Prince? … A small sin deserves death... I don't know if His Royal Highness is coming......" Feng Zhuo kowtowed desperately, but he found himself in an empty and spacious room, which was no longer the Marquis of Changding's mansion.

His Highness brought himself here...... So what's going on? …

Dongfang Xu looked at the trembling man on the ground, this is the fifth young master of the Marquis of Changding? Compared with Feng Yu, it is really very different, I saw the four sons Feng Qi before, and he was also a talent, and he thought that the men in the Marquis of Changding were all outstanding, and he was a little surprised.

"No need to be polite, this time the main hall asked someone to bring you here, because I want to ask you something."

The voice with a light smile sounded, but for some reason, Feng Zhuo felt that there was not the slightest warmth in the prince's words.

"I wonder what His Highness commands? The little ones must know everything, and they must say everything..."

Anyway, if it's really the same as the fourth young master Feng Qi, I'm afraid that I will return in vain. "Get up and speak."

"Thank you, Your Highness... The little ones don't dare..."Feng Zhuo's palms were already oozing with thin sweat, you must know that an unfavored concubine like them would hardly have a chance to talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... He was extremely suspicious in his heart, he was about to come to a catastrophe? …

Some people are like this, they give him face, and he wants to belittle himself.

Dongfang Xu didn't force it anymore, and the shadow behind him had already removed the cloak from his body for him. "This hall wants to know if there have been any strangers in the Marquis of Changding's mansion in recent days."

Strangers? Feng Zhuo's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't dare to answer.

"Yes or no?"

"Your Highness...... There are often several ministers in the Hou Mansion, and there are no strangers. "Could it be that His Highness suspects that they are in the Changding Mansion, what is going on? …

"So, what's going on?"

Strange things...... Feng Zhuo tried to recall that he had always only eaten and drunk in the mansion, and occasionally went out with his friends to sit elegantly, and the affairs of the mansion were not yet their turn to ask, and in his eyes, every day seemed to be the same boring.

By the way, it was grandmother who no longer embarrassed them, and regarded them more and more as air, but in this case, Feng Zhuo was not willing to talk to His Highness in person.

"For example, who did General Feng have personal contact with? Or has the fourth young master been in contact with anyone? ”

Feng Zhuo still fell silent for a while, Dongfang Xu couldn't help frowning slightly, could it be ...... Did you find the wrong person?

"Your Royal Highness, in the past, the fourth brother was in the mansion and only had contacts with the three brothers-in-law, but now the eldest brother is busy with court affairs all day long, the second brother is out and about, and the third brother is not in the mansion, so now the fourth brother often stays alone in his yard and has nothing else to do."

Speaking of Feng Qi, Feng Zhuo's heart couldn't help but gloat, now he can't help but talk to his brother again, right? The eldest brother rarely shows up after becoming a general, so the fourth brother must be in a panic now, right?

The third young master of the Marquis of Changding? Dongfang Xu's mind couldn't help but have that pale and sick but very beautiful face, it seemed that he hadn't heard about the third young master for a long time.

"How is the condition of the third young master?"

"This ...... The younger one only knew that the third brother went out for treatment, and he has not come back yet. ”

Going out for treatment? Why didn't he hear Feng Yu mention it. But that wasn't the message he wanted today. "Fifth Young Master, have you ever heard the Fourth Young Master mention the matter of the Imperial Doctor."

"......" The fourth brother and their two cousins have almost no intersection, how can they talk about the imperial doctor? But what does Your Highness mean by this, isn't it...... What His Highness wants to inquire about is about the Imperial Doctor?

That's right... Princess Yongning was picked up, but the imperial physician lost her whereabouts, which has become a topic of concern for the entire Chen Kingdom.

Feng Zhuo raised his eyes cautiously, he clearly saw a trace of impatience in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, it was too bad... Could it be that His Highness has a bad impression of himself?

Feng Zhuo gradually calmed down, thinking that with his own identity, it would be more difficult to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future than ascending to the sky, his grandmother didn't value him, and his father didn't pin his hopes on himself, saying that he wanted to live this kind of mediocre life all the time, that would be a lie... He also wants others to see, it's not the long-term concubine who will be promising... He can also...

So, this will be his only chance...

"If His Royal Highness wants to know, the little one can find an opportunity to inquire about this matter with the fourth brother after he goes back, and if he can get any useful news, the little one will definitely inform His Highness as soon as possible..."

Looking at the flattering smile in front of him, Dongfang Xu thought carefully for a moment, today's shadow of his own has been discovered by the people of the Hou Mansion, but they still don't completely suspect him.

He would never give up this clue, but he didn't want Feng Yu to feel that he didn't trust him, so instead of sending someone to monitor, it was better to let someone in the Hou Mansion do things for him.

"Hongden, can I trust you?"

As soon as these words came out, Feng Zhuo immediately understood the meaning of Dongfang Xu's words, and he kowtowed three times in a row at the moment, "Your Highness, rest assured, the small one will definitely not tell today's matter, as long as he can serve His Highness, the small one will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down the oil pot..."

Dongfang Xu chuckled, Feng Zhuo immediately raised his head, and also showed a flattering smile. However, he didn't know that Dongfang Xu's smile was all because of contempt, not appreciation.

"It's so good, I hope the fifth young master won't disappoint this hall."

"Your Highness, rest assured... Your Highness, rest assured..."

Dongfang Xu didn't look at him again, but gave the shadow a look, and Feng Zhuo was taken down silently.

The palace at night carries an inexplicable sense of gloom.

Dongfang Xu wandered alone on the path by the lake, and every flower and plant scenery here seemed to have her shadow.

The hazy moon was reflected on the surface of the lake, and suddenly, a bright light attracted Dongfang Xu's sight, and when he looked closely, it was actually a small boat carrying candles, and then, two or three small boats came into view.

He frowned suspiciously, at this hour, someone else put this kind of thing by the lake?

I went up in the direction of the current, and finally saw the woman in the corner, squatting on the shore.

The familiar figure came into view, and Dongfang Xu's eyebrows jumped, "Shu'er? He couldn't help but open his mouth, but soon came back to his senses, no, it couldn't be, how could Shu'er be here.

He stood at a distance and looked at the woman, and after a long time, the man finally moved.

With a hint of sadness on her elegant face, the woman looked up at the moon in the night sky, her eyes were vast and deep.

She is dressed elegantly, and even her demeanor is somewhat similar to Yun Shu, and the trace of charm hidden in her eyebrows and eyes also carries the shadow of Yun Shu.

"Who are you?"

The voice came from behind her, and the woman's eyes flashed, and she turned around in surprise and saw the handsome man.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

The surprise in her eyes was only fleeting, and she bowed down slightly, but she didn't see the panic and shyness that other women would have.

This feeling makes Dongfang Xu feel extremely familiar.

Since the death of the first emperor, he has eradicated all the opposing voices in the court, it is understandable that he is the future emperor of the Chen Kingdom, how many women try their best to get close to him, and try their best to flatter, there has been no one for a long time, and they can face themselves with such a calm attitude.

"What's your name? Why are there lightboats here? ”

"Courtier Yu Shu, put a flower boat here...... It's for ...... Pray for the adoptive mother. ”

Yu Shu? This woman is actually called this name...... Dongfang Xu's eyes couldn't help but soften a lot, "Adoptive mother? ”

Yu Shu sighed lightly, "Yes, the courtier's daughter grew up in the countryside since she was a child, and she was raised by a kind peasant couple, and she only returned to Kyoto recently. ”

Dongfang Xu's eyes flashed with a streamer, and he took a step forward, "Why, you grew up in the countryside?" ”

The elegant woman slowly raised her head, and her tone was full of helplessness, as if she had endless suffering.

"Say, this temple forgives you for your innocence."

“…… When the grandmother of the courtier's daughter was born, Mr. Ming calculated a hexagram, saying that the courtier's daughter was too strong and must be raised outside the house, otherwise the family would be implicated, and she could only be taken back to the house by pointing to the sixteenth. ”

Like, it's so like... Even what happened to them. Dongfang Xu couldn't help but feel a trace of pity, "Then he entered the palace and became a show girl?" ”

“…… Be. ”

Dongfang Xu looked at the lightship that was drifting away, "What's wrong with your adoptive mother?" ”

"As early as when the courtiers left, they knew that their adoptive mother was seriously ill and had passed away not long ago. The courtiers remembered the grace of many years of nurturing, so they lit a lightboat here, hoping that the adoptive mother could ascend to Bliss as soon as possible. The courtiers thought it was the dead of night...... I hope that Your Highness will forgive your sins..."

"Filial piety comes first, what are you guilty of? Get up. ”

"Your Highness."

Yu Shu slowly straightened up, but she didn't look at Dongfang Xu's face.

On the contrary, the handsome man's eyes fell on this elegant face, and a sense of intimacy had already crossed his heart.

"It's just right, the main hall is also very bored, let's go with the main hall."

Yu Shu raised her eyes, as if she was not very willing.

Dongfang Xu smiled, "Don't worry, this hall won't do anything to you." Then he lifted the hem of his shirt and walked forward.

The woman hesitated for a moment, then slowly followed the noble man from a distance.

In the dark, a pair of eyes stared closely at the man and woman who were far away, and then disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

"Queen Qi, Yu Shu is strolling by the lake with His Royal Highness at the moment."

The queen opened her eyes faintly, but there was a helpless smile on the corner of her mouth, she didn't expect that if she wanted the prince to get close to other women, she only needed such a simple step. But why, her heart is still so uneasy.

The eldest duke looked at the queen's face and smiled slightly, "Niangniang don't worry, this is just the first step, as long as you can make Your Highness forget about the imperial doctor, it will be easy to say in the future..."

The queen took a deep breath. "I hope so, that Yu Shu, you have to discipline well, this palace doesn't want a second Liu Yunshu to appear..."

"The minion understands..."
