Zhenbei Wangfu was built during the time of Xianzong, and at that time it was not called Zhenbei Wangfu, but Xinwangfu, and Zhenbei Wang was not called Zhenbei Wang, but Xinwang.

The seventh prince Feng Xinwang did not live in the Xinwang Mansion for long, so he was ordered to lead the troops to be stationed in the southwest, until five years later Emperor Xianzong died, the five princes succeeded to the throne as Renzong, the northwest was in turmoil, and King Xin was transferred to the northwest, this stay was another ten years, Renzong died, and the prince succeeded to the throne as Emperor De, that is, the current emperor.

The emperor thanked the uncle of the Seven Emperors for working hard outside for a long time, and recalled to Beijing, but he did not expect that the gold thief went south before entering Beijing, and the king of the letter Zhou Ning personally conquered again, and this went for another five years, the only son was killed, and the king of the letter family hated the country and swore to guard the northern border, and the emperor sealed the king of the north of the town.

And the Xinwang Mansion in the capital has also changed the Zhenbei Wangfu since then, and it has been 18 years since the name was changed.

It means that this palace has been around for more than 30 years, and this mute old servant is even earlier than the existence of this palace.

It is said that it was the first time that King Xin opened the mansion, and the inner servant given by Emperor Xianzong is said to be a mute by nature, and he has not left the palace since he entered the palace more than 30 years ago, and he led the rice grain of the internal affairs office to guard the palace.

This time, the emperor reopened the Zhenbei Palace, added servants, and the old mute still remained in it.

How could he speak?

So you've been pretending to be dumb?

Zhou Chengzhen's expression changed under the moon, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed when he looked at the old mute.

The dumb laughed.

"The son, the old slave, yes, the one who believes in the king's mansion, people." He said.

When his words fell, he heard a rattle, which was especially loud in the dark night.

Zhou Chengzhen grabbed the crisp pear she touched from the fruit bowl on the side and chewed it squeaked.

"Hmm. This time it's a different story. He said vaguely as he chewed, "What was the name last time, it was said to be from the Zhenbei Palace." ”

Speaking of this, I was a little happy.

"You came just in time, I don't have any money to spend, the emperor, a stingy man, said that I have money and will mess around, don't give me money to spend, you give me some money."

The mute laughed a little.

"Old slave, no money." He said.

Zhou Chengzhen spit out the pear peel.

"There's no money for what! Grandpa wants to think about his grandson, so he is empty-handed? He said angrily. Wave your hand. "Go ahead, get some money first, and then talk about anything else."

The old mute smiled wryly.

"Old slave, already. Thirty years no. I've seen the old prince. I don't know, how to meet him. He said with a stiff tongue.

Zhou Chengzhen nibbled the pear in a circle and looked at him with a frown.

"You're not here to ask me for money, are you? My grandfather owes you money. I don't care. He said, waving his hand aggressively, "But I can help you tell the emperor, my grandfather is the emperor's uncle, what is the matter, it is more appropriate for you to find the emperor." ”

The dumb laughed again.

"Shizi, don't make trouble." He said.

Before the words fell, Zhou Chengzhen smashed the pear core in his hand.

"Who the fuck are you making trouble in the middle of the night!" He jumped up and shouted.

The pear was smashed on the old mute's head, and the old mute subconsciously tilted his head back, and someone jumped up from behind, strangled the old mute's neck, and carried him down.

The old mute only had time to cluck twice, and tilted his head to stop moving.

Zhou Chengzhen stood up and walked over, pushed away the mute and jumped up.

"No effort at all." Bajin said, "It's an old man." ”

Zhou Chengzhen looked at the mute corpse.

"What I want to do, I will do it myself, and I don't need to be taught by others." He said, his eyes were cold, and his voice was faint, "It doesn't matter if you are grandpa's person or someone else's person." ”

Without looking at the corpse again, he turned away.

"Tomorrow I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and take the people away."

Eight catties responded yes.

Zhou Chengzhen took a breath and glanced at the moon in the sky, and carefully picked up the white paper that had fallen aside.

"It's a ruined interest." He said, looking back, "Throw this body down the hill." ”

Before Bajin could turn around, he heard someone laughing behind him.

"Lord Shizi, it's so ruthless."

Zhou Chengzhen and Bajin turned around at the same time, looking at the corpse sitting up from the ground in horror.

The old mute reached out and rubbed his neck, his face a little painful.

"This kid is ruthless." He stumbled.

Zhou Chengzhen's horror faded, and her face became solemn.

"Are you a ghost?" He asked.

As soon as the words came out, there was a pop in my ears.

Bajin fainted and fell to the ground.

This sudden event made Zhou Chengzhen and the old mute a little stunned, and the atmosphere was stagnant.

The old mute laughed.

I don't know if he was silent for a long time, or if he was born like this, he laughed like a cough.

Zhou Chengzhen didn't laugh or be surprised, stood firmly in place, looking at him motionlessly.

"Eight catties are afraid of ghosts, this is nothing funny, and there is no shame, people always have something to be afraid of." He said.

The old mute smiled.

"What is the prince afraid of?" He asked curiously.

Speak much more fluently than before.

"I haven't found what I'm afraid of." Zhou Chengzhen said, and a girl glared at him angrily and hatefully.

Afraid of a little girl?

A smile tipped into the corners of his mouth, and his hand hanging at his side was clenched.

The old mute nodded, didn't look at Zhou Chengzhen, and stood up trembling on his own.

"Lord Shizi, don't be afraid, I'm not a ghost, this kid can't kill me, and it's not that he doesn't have the ability." He continued, "It's that I can fake my death." ”

Zhou Chengzhen sighed.

"I say, there is no one in this world who rises from the dead." He said.

"There is no death in this world that can be resurrected, so everyone does not want to die, they all want to live forever." The old mute said.

Zhou Chengzhen tugged at the corners of her mouth and rolled her eyes.

"Dream of being a fairy......." He spoke, and before he could finish speaking, the man threw himself at the old mute, and with a flicker in his hand, he apparently took out a dagger.

The old mute knelt down with a puff.

"Lord Shizi, you must not go back to Zhenbei Wangfu." He said. "You just stay in the capital and wait, one day, the old prince will come back."

The dagger in Zhou Chengzhen's hand was already on his chest.

"Tell this sentence to the prince, and there will be no regrets when the old slave dies." The old mute said.

The emperor didn't let him go back to Zhenbei Wangfu, which Zhou Chengzhen knew very well, but his grandfather didn't let him go back?

It's the first time I've heard it in so many years.

During the New Year's holidays, the Zhenbei Wangfu will give gifts, and the grandfather will also give words, which is nothing more than obedience and etiquette.

Indeed, he never said anything about letting him go back.

Also, old prince, will come back. What is the meaning?

The dagger in Zhou Chengzhen's hand was pushed hard. In the moonlight, blood could be seen oozing from the placket of the old mute's clothes.

"Didn't you say that you haven't seen the old prince for thirty years?" He smiled, and with some curiosity, he looked at the blood that was oozing out and sniffed. "It's fresh. It's live blood. I wonder if the heart is alive? ”

There was curiosity in his voice, and it seemed that he was about to dig it out and take a look.

"Lord Shizi, this sentence was given to me by the old prince thirty years ago." The old mute said with some sighs. "At the beginning, the old slave wanted to follow him, he said this, and then the prince came to the capital, the old slave rarely went out, but he also knew that he had grown so big, the old prince never said, nor did he let the prince go, it can be seen that the old prince must come back."

"What are you doing back? A handful of old bones, how good it is to die outside. Zhou Chengzhen said with a smile.

I haven't seen my father, I haven't seen my mother, and the only living grandfather is only known for never meeting, for Zhou Chengzhen, these relatives are just a name, and they haven't even seen what they look like, and they don't have any respect for their elders if they are as stubborn as he is.

"Come back and be the emperor, the old prince was originally going to be the emperor, but he was robbed." The old mute looked at Zhou Chengzhen.

With a snort, Zhou Chengzhen's dagger entered the flesh.

The old mute tilted his head and fell.

…………………………………………………

With a bang, Bajin opened his eyes and jumped up, his eyes were bright, and his words were swallowed back, and his spirit was restored as usual.

This is Zhou Chengzhen's ear room, and the two little guys are making tea with a clang.

"Brother Bajin overslept." They quipped.

Bajin thought of what happened last night, and rushed out a little nervously.

Zhou Chengzhen sat cross-legged in the room reading a book, looking serious.

The girls serving on the side were red-faced and red-eared, and they didn't dare to look at Zhou Chengzhen.

"Lord Shizi." Eight catties shouted.

"Get up." Zhou Chengzhen said, "The meal has been set, let's eat." ”

It's really embarrassing to be the last to be a guard, and the master has to protect it.

Eight pounds sneered and touched his head.

"With the prince here, you don't have to worry about anything." He said flatteringly, leaned over and looked at the spring palace map in Zhou Chengzhen's hand, "Lord Shizi, Qi Yuanhou Twelve Princes got a copy of the Spring Palace of the Tang family, and the small one was brought to you?" ”

Hearing the conversation between the master and servant, the girls in the house hurriedly retreated.

"Lord Shizi, has that old thing been disposed of?" Bajin asked in a low voice.

"Still waiting for you to dispose of?" Zhou Chengzhen said angrily.

Eight catties breathed a sigh of relief.

"I know that there is a prince here, so I don't have to worry about anything." He complimented again, saluted and retired, and as soon as he walked to the door and lifted the curtain, an old face appeared in front of him.

Seeing him, the old face squeezed out a smile and rattled twice.

Eight pounds almost fainted during the day for the first time.

The old mute had already knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Chengzhen, and Ulaula made a sound.

"The old mute thanked the deceased son." A girl explained on the side, "I drank too much wine and fell in the garden last night, thank you for inviting a doctor, and I was lucky to save my life." ”

Only then did Bajin see that the old mute had a wounded cloth wrapped around his head, he stopped talking and looked as usual, and retreated with the girls.

Only Zhou Chengzhen and the old mute were left in the house.

"Thank you for the mercy of the prince's subordinates, one point is off, and the old slave survived." The old mute raised his head and said, and smiled bitterly, "It's just that I hope that the prince will stop playing tricks on the old slave, the elixir that the old slave got from the first emperor's tripod can only let the old slave avoid death three times, and the old slave carefully hid for thirty years without using it, but it was used twice in the hands of the prince in one night, and the next time, the old slave really won't survive." ”

The First Emperor?

Zhou Chengzhen put down the book in his hand and looked at the old mute with a glittering gaze.

"You also know the First Emperor." He asked, "Who the hell are you?" ”

"Don't you know, when the initial emperor was the master of the old slave who came to offer Emperor Xianzong." The old mute said, "But he was robbed halfway, leaving only one pill of pills, Emperor Xianzong ate it at that time, and his white hair turned black, but unfortunately less than three pills could not live forever, Emperor Xianzong ordered the seventh prince Xinwang and the ninth prince Anding Wang to track down the whereabouts of the first emperor Ding, but they were never found, and finally Emperor Xianzong fell seriously ill and died, and the seven princes left Beijing and were taken the opportunity by the queen mother and the queen to recommend the five princes to the throne as the emperor's ......." ”

Zhou Chengzhen raised her eyebrows.

"I'm not interested in these things about Chen Guzi's rotten pockmarks." He interrupted him, "I just want to know why you have been a dumb person for decades and why you have spoken?" ”

"Because the Xie family has a great witch, the First Emperor Ding can be found." The old mute said excitedly.

Zhou Chengzhen sneered.

"Great Witch? I think you're quite big, you can't be killed, you can't find it, why can the Xie family find it? He said, waving his hand at him, "Okay, I'm not interested in you Shinto, you go and tell the emperor, maybe I can reward you for being a big official." ”

Speaking of this, he laughed again.

"Yes, yes, you are much more powerful than that bull-nosed Xuan Zhenzi, let's go, go to see the emperor, let the emperor drive Xuan Zhenzi away, and you will be the national teacher."

As he spoke, he stood up, and sure enough, he raised his feet and walked.

"Lord Shizi, don't make trouble, the old slave wants to be a national teacher, but he only wants to be the national teacher of the king of Zhenbei." The old mute said, "Shiziye, there is not much time left, the master calculated that the Shouyuan of the King of Zhenbei is still eight years away, and before that, we must find the First Emperor Ding, with the First Emperor Ding, the prince can get out of the northwest and get back what belongs to him." ”

Zhou Chengzhen stood still, her expression unpredictable.

"What does this have to do with me, if he wants to find it, he will find it." He said.

"Lord Shizi, the old prince is trapped and can't move an inch, now that you have grown up, and you have a good mind, you can only do this matter." The old dumb man kowtowed, "Shizi, what you should go to is not Zhenbei, but Bashu, go to Bashu, and get the whereabouts of the First Emperor Ding from the young lady of the Xie family who can draw talismans." ”
