26. Chapter 25
At this time, in a certain courtyard of the post palace, in the small study, a person leaned lazily, evil and casual, seemingly careless, but inadvertently raised his eyebrows and raised his hand, he exuded the air of a wild king, like a natural king in the jungle, even if he was lazy, people did not dare to underestimate him.
In the room, there was a handsome and masculine man standing with a puzzled face, and he said respectfully, "Prince, why did you save Miss Su tonight?" ”
The person who spoke was Du Ming, the chief guard of the Southern Prince's Mansion, Du Ming had been the prince's companion since he was a child, and he was the chief guard of the Prince's Mansion when he grew up, and their Du family had been loyal to the royal family for generations, so although he was the prince's subordinate, when there was no one in private, the two of them were still very casual friends.
The crown prince Ye Minghao is moody, few people have figured out his temperament, even the emperor and empress of the southern kingdom, sometimes they can't grasp his temperament. On the surface, he is evil and lazy and casual, but in fact, under this appearance, he is bloodthirsty and indifferent, and his mind is even more first-class shrewd, with thousands of hills and valleys in his chest, but people can't grasp it.
It is precisely because his self-esteem is too high that ordinary women can't get into his eyes at all, he doesn't want to entangle with women, like tonight, it is the first time to kindly help a woman, so Du Ming will be surprised to ask this question.
Ye Minghao laughed, the brilliance around him, the purple color in his eyes became more and more intense, revealing his snow-white teeth as white as pearls, and said: "Do you remember that Bengong told you that Bengong was rescued by a woman before, and that woman was Su Yingxue. ”
As soon as these words came out, Du Ming's eyes widened, as if he was about to fall out, he didn't believe it, it was actually Su Yingxue who saved his prince, she looked unarmed, but she gave people a feeling of inner temperament, which made people have to respect it, and it was not impossible for such a woman to save the prince.
Suddenly, Du Ming seemed to remember something, and asked Ye Minghao again, "Remember that the prince once said that she doesn't seem to be able to speak?" ”
Ye Minghao nodded and said, "This palace is not sure about this, it's just that I haven't heard a word from her in the time I met her, but this palace always thinks that she is not simple?" ”
"Does the prince think she's pretending?"
"Not only that, but she has too many mysteries in her?"
"Could it be that the prince fell in love with Miss Su?"
"I'll see if your imagination is a little too much." Ye Minghao's tone was obviously a little displeased.
"The subordinates are not talented, and please ask the prince to make it clear." Seeing that Ye Minghao's face was wrong, Du Ming had to say something to get himself off the stage, so as not to attract another good scolding.
Ye Minghao glanced at Du Ming and said, "Think about it, why does a woman wear a veil on her head, and their Su family is not a relative of the emperor, why is she eligible to participate in the friendship competition, don't you think it's strange?" And why would you soak in the extremely cold pool during the banquet, these signs are too suspicious. ”
Yes, even some of Emperor Chu's concubines can't participate in the Three Kingdoms Friendship Competition, why does Su Yingxue have the right to participate, and she is the first to sit in the front row? This is indeed suspicious. Moreover, a woman who ignored her name and ran to soak in the cold pool can only show one thing, that is, she was drugged. But how could a little girl be drugged, or at the banquet of the Three Kingdoms Friendship Competition, this is indeed too incredible.
"Then the prince wants to help Miss Su check?"
"There's no urgency, we have more important things to do."
"Master, what are we going to do next?"
Du Ming asked for instructions, Ye Minghao stretched his body lazily, and the light that naturally emanated was domineering and arrogant, "You send someone to keep an eye on Shangguan Jinyu, the crown prince of Chu State, and send someone to pay attention to the side of the prince of Yan State." ”
"Yes, Prince."
Du Ming led the order to retreat, waved his hand to signal the subordinates outside the door to come in, waited for the master to rest, and went to do errands.
In the other courtyard of the post palace, the lights were also on at this time, under the light, one person was sitting, the others were standing, and the whole room was filled with a fierce cold, no one dared to say a word, even the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath.
The person at the top was drinking tea, and the others waited quietly, until he drank tea for a while, and then slowly said, "Shaozhu, Shaoqin." ”
The subordinates respectfully clenched their fists and waited for their lives under the two subordinates of a man and a woman.
Situ Xuanyuan's eyebrows were slightly raised, his demeanor was leisurely, but his eyes were extremely sharp, which made people feel depressed, the prince's heart was ruthless, and it was very clear as a subordinate, but the prince's thunderous methods and the neatness of doing things also made them admire, and as long as he didn't make mistakes, he generally wouldn't embarrass them, so everyone has always been loyal.
"You two have someone in charge of keeping an eye on the prince of the southern kingdom."
"My subordinates understand."
This trip to the Chu State, firstly, is to urge the internal strength of the Chu State, and secondly, to find out the intention of the Southern Prince Ye Minghao, originally he was not going to come, but after receiving the news, the Southern Prince Ye Minghao actually came over in person, so he also led people over. This night Ming Hao is not a person who has nothing to do, so he must have a purpose when he appears this time, and they naturally want to keep an eye on him to see what he is doing.
"In addition, send some more people to keep an eye on the movements of the Chu State, and remember, as soon as there are any clues, they will report it."
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
Several people in the room retreated, and soon a close maid came over outside to serve Situ Xuanyuan to rest.
Don't look at these women, all of them are highly skilled subordinates, on the one hand, they serve their masters closely, and on the other hand, they protect the safety of their masters.
