Chapter 34: An Unexpected Visitor

In a chic courtyard, a young man in an ink-colored robe is trotting through the craggy rockery. looked at him with a panicked look between his eyebrows.

Before he could turn into the cloister, he saw an old man coming out of the other end of the cloister from a distance. The little guy shouted loudly as if he had seen some savior.

"Uncle Gong! Uncle Gong! ”

Hearing that the little guy was shouting unscrupulously, the old man who was called "Uncle Gong" couldn't help but show a trace of displeasure on his face, and immediately scolded him.

"Mo'er, what a system! In the palace compound, what are you yelling at without rules, do you want to be beaten?! ”

"No, no, no!"

Mo'er, who hurriedly ran forward, hurriedly wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves, and responded in a hurry: "Uncle Gong, there is news of the prince!" ”

"Really?!"

The surprise suddenly appeared on Uncle Gong's face, but it disappeared after a while. calmly lowered his face and patiently asked Mo'er: "Won't you come to cheat the bounty again?" ”

"No, this will Mo'er be sure nine times out of ten! A post official came to Taiyuan Mansion and said that a son had entrusted him with a letter to his family and asked him to transfer it to our house. Mo'er estimated that the son of Tuoxin should be the master! ”

Listening to what Mo'er said conclusively, Uncle Gong's face suddenly appeared with joy. finally had news of the prince, which made Uncle Gong, who had been worried for nearly two months, suddenly settle down a lot.

"Where is the post official from Taiyuan Mansion now?"

"I'm waiting in the side hall."

"Okay, I'll go and meet the officer. Mo'er, you hurriedly order someone to invite Gong Yihan, Chu Feng, and Luo Zhiqiu to the palace for a gathering, and say that I have something important to discuss with the three of them, the housekeeper! Hurry, don't delay. ”

"Oh, okay Uncle Gong. I'll go! ”

Mo'er didn't even have time to breathe, so she hurriedly found someone to inform the three sons according to Uncle Gong's instructions.

And Uncle Gong didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and hurriedly quickened his pace and walked towards the side hall.

At this time, Lord Li, who was waiting in the side hall, looked extremely restrained on his face. You must know that a seven-rank petty official like him can visit the mansion of the emperor's relatives, which is a great honor, so naturally he doesn't dare to be too casual.

He swallowed the hot tea and temporarily suppressed his panic. I didn't want to just raise my head and look at the door of the side hall, and I saw an old man in a hurry coming straight up.

"It's Lord Li from Taiyuan Mansion, I'm sorry it's late! The faux pas also look at Lord Li Haihan. The old slave is the steward of King Rong's mansion, Gonghe. ”

"Xiaguan Li Ren, be courteous to the elderly."

The words started in a hurry, but Master Li didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly got up to give a salute. Although this Gonghe calls himself an "old slave", after all, he is the housekeeper of this Rongwang Mansion, and his identity cannot be idle.

"Hello is not good, Lord Li, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Elder Gong."

On the pear blossom wooden square chair, the two of them sat down. Uncle Gong was cautious, and withdrew a bunch of idle people and waited, and then chatted with Master Li who was sitting next to him.

"I heard that Lord Li was entrusted by someone to come to the capital to deliver a letter, I wonder if there is such a thing?"

"The lower officials don't dare to hide it, they are indeed entrusted by someone to come to your mansion to send a letter."

Li Ren replied cautiously, and then respectfully presented the letter to Uncle Gong from his sleeve. Hurriedly took the letter in Li Ren's hand, Uncle Gong carefully studied it for a while, and the envelope was tightly sealed by fire paint, without the slightest trace of moving his hands and feet.

Looking at the Lord Li Ren Li in front of him, it is still worth reassuring. It's just that there is no handwriting on the surface of the empty envelope, and Uncle Gong can't tell whether this letter is from the hand of his master.

"Dare to ask Lord Li, who entrusted this letter?"

"If you return to Gong Lao, it is a son." At this time, Li Ren's face sank, and he whispered: "That prince is holding the 'Royal Dragon Gold Medal', so that the lower officials can send the letter to the Rongwang Mansion, and he doesn't dare to slack off." ”

Dragon Gold Medal?! When Uncle Gong heard Li Ren say this, the joy on his face was even greater than before, it was really the prince! hurriedly asked Li Ren on the side.

"Then where is this son now?"

"Forgive the official for his incompetence and failure to gain insight into the traces of that son in time. However, according to the opinion of the lower officials, the prince should still be in Taiyuan City at this time. ”

For so many days, the prince has been out playing, and there is no news, which is really worrying! You must know that the emperor has been hiding the whereabouts of the prince, which is a big deal for the head to lose!

At this time, a big hanging stone in Uncle Gong's heart can finally settle down! As long as the prince is safe and sound.

However, after a moment of settling down, Uncle Gong still got up and wondered. What is the intention of the prince not returning to Beijing for a long time? Before Uncle Gong could ask again, Li Ren replied directly.

"Elder Gong, that son wants me to bring a sentence: wait and see what happens, so that the house doesn't have to worry too much."

"Wait and see?"

Gong Lao also couldn't figure out the mystery for a while, looked at the letter in his hand, and didn't dare to open it himself. In a dilemma, he became even more confused.

"Gong Lao, the official words have been brought, so it is inconvenient to disturb the purity of the house. Leave! ”

Officialdom pays attention to observing words and feelings, what should be asked and what should not be asked, and it must be handled properly; If you are not careful, you may invite death.

In fact, Li Ren also guessed one or two in his heart. In this huge Rongwang Mansion, it seems that there is no one in charge of the house, and even the servants just don't mention it, and then look at the old steward's reaction now, what does this mean?

Obviously, the head of King Rong's mansion is not in the mansion at the moment. As for the son of Na Tuoxin, what is related to this Rong King, it is worth studying.

"There's Lord Law. Come! Send Lee-sama. ”

It can be seen that this Li Ren is a person who keeps his duty and has vision, and it is inconvenient for Uncle Gong to keep anything. Knowing how to be cautious in words and deeds is the best choice for them and Li Ren.

Looking at Li Ren who was gradually moving away, Uncle Gong in the side hall picked up the letter in his hand again and looked at it attentively. Inside, what will the prince explain? What is it that waits and sees? After thinking about it, Uncle Gong still couldn't guess the master's thoughts.

Hurriedly put the letter into his arms carefully. The current Rongwang Mansion is calm on the surface, but secretly there is an undercurrent; If you are not careful, it is likely to implicate the current safety of the prince.

With such a major event in front of him, I have to ask Uncle Gong to be vigilant.

It seems that in order to solve the doubts in front of you, you have to wait for Mo'er to invite the three sons to see each other!
