It wasn't until it was dark that Bai Anheng turned home. Han Yu waited for a day, and was relieved until he saw him at this moment.

Taking advantage of the little effort before dinner, he pulled Bai Anheng into the back room, took out Zhao Rulan's note from the dark compartment at the head of the bed, and handed it to Bai Anheng.

Glancing at the top of the table, Bai Anheng raised her eyebrows and looked at her. Han Yu didn't speak, only opened the note, and pointed to the string of words at the beginning of the first line with his hand.

Is it hidden?

Bai Anheng's eyebrows were raised again, and he saw the words in the first line clearly, then he blinked and looked at Han Xiao again.

Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the note and said, "Can you see it clearly?" I'm going to burn in a minute. ”

Bai Anheng hurriedly looked at what was written on it again, if it was usually written, it was nothing more than common words, and the news was in the row where the head was hidden.

Nodding slightly, he handed the note to Han Xiao, and the two of them watched it with their own eyes and burned it in the charcoal basin in the house.

"Master...... It'......"

Bai Anheng nodded slightly: "There is news about this matter, so I just told you yesterday that I don't have to go out these days." I didn't expect the county lord of Heyi to send you this. ”

Han Xiao was silent, and asked for a while, "What about my family?" Father, do they know about this? ”

"Don't worry." Gently patting the back of her hand, Bai Anheng said softly and comfortingly, "Your family has also dealt with it, but I don't know when it will be and what the situation will be...... Don't be afraid, after a while, I'll go to my father's place, and you can rest early. ”

The hand couldn't help but grab his arm, Han Yu raised his head and wanted to speak, looking at him with worry in his eyes, and only whispered for a long time: "Be careful in everything, this matter ...... I don't know what they're going to do. ”

Bai Anheng nodded lightly and went out of the house with her to eat.

————————

In the night, the horses' hooves were wrapped in cloth, the swords were hidden in the hay in the cart, and a large group of shadows were hiding in the direction of the capital.

"Your Highness, you have arrived ten miles outside the city, listen to your Highness's orders."

The eldest prince stood up suddenly, his face could not hide the excitement and fierceness, and he strode a few steps in the house, and when he reached the door, he said loudly: "Prepare the car!" Enter the palace! ”

Since the second day of the Lunar New Year, when the emperor fell ill, the eldest prince and the fifth prince had to go to the sickbed almost every day to serve the sick. On the fifteenth day, the five princes went out of Beijing to pray for the emperor, and among the remaining princes, that is, the eldest prince, had to enter the palace every day. Even a few days ago, the emperor improved slightly, and ordered all the courtiers to return to you, and the princes did not have to enter the palace every day. From the queen mother and imperial concubine to the palace maids and eunuchs in the harem, everyone must say that the prince is filial.

Early in the morning of the 20th, the eldest prince's car arrived at the gate of the palace again.

A few little eunuchs who were sweeping in the cold wind with their necks shrunk saw it from afar, and all of them sighed in a low voice: "The eldest prince is really filial piety." ”

"Who's to say it isn't? Other highnesses can't catch up......"

"Didn't the five princes also go to pray for the emperor?"

"Serving every day, or praying for blessings and worshipping heaven from afar, which is more important, is not necessarily."

"That's better than others, I heard that ......" The little eunuch who spoke secretly stretched out three fingers and said in a low voice, "Since the saint was sick, I have only been here twice!" ”

"All the work, all the work, what are you doing with this tongue? Let the people above hear it again, don't you want your life? ”

Several little eunuchs hurriedly stuck out their tongues, lowered their heads and swept the ground again.

On this cold day, in the early spring, the wind is strong in Beijing, although it is not like autumn, there are so many deciduous grass stalks, but it is still not easy to sweep. When the wind blows, it brings up some sand from time to time, and the ground is dirty again.

"It's just two snows a while ago, and I love dirt so much." The little eunuch who had spoken before muttered again.

"What is this? You came in late, and you don't know what to do. In the early years, when there was no snow in winter, it was called a difficult to sweep, and the loess was one by one, so that when the wind blew, the eyes were full of sand......"

As he was muttering, he looked up in confusion and said, "But what about the guards' training?" ”

"Where's the guard?"

"Do you listen to this voice? Isn't it like shouting and killing during drills? ”

The palace gate was broken, and a group of soldiers came in with swords, and the eunuchs who were originally holding brooms were dumbfounded, and when the group of people rushed into the palace and some ran towards their own places, they came back to their senses, dropped their brooms and fled in all directions.

"Puff" a few times, and after a while, the slower runner turned his head in a different place, and the blood red spread on the bluestone slab that had just been swept clean.

——————

"Keep the door closed! Let people see the wall of the street, people gather in the main courtyard, the guards take care of the courtyard wall, and there is no one to stay in the garden, and the door is locked. No one is allowed to walk around! Bai Anheng stood in the courtyard, and after giving a loud order, he turned around and returned to the main house with a cold face.

Gan was already dressed neatly, and although there was worry in his expression, he was still quite calm. Wang, Han Xiao, Wu and others are all in the house to accompany Gan at this time.

"Mother, the son has commanded them to go down and let them lock all the doors everywhere. There was a lot of grass and trees in the garden, and the son was afraid that it would not be appropriate, so he did not leave anyone behind—so that the servants of the house had already filled the vats everywhere with water, just in case. ”

Listening to Bai Anheng's proper arrangement, Gan smiled reluctantly, and was about to say something, when he heard that Bai Jun had also come over with Bai Anheng in front.

"Sister-in-law! I heard that the eldest prince has raised troops and has already entered the palace?! Before he entered the door, Bai Jun asked in a loud voice with a trembling voice.

Gan frowned slightly: "It's chaotic outside, I don't know what the situation is, the second uncle doesn't have to hurry for the time being, tell all the people in your place to stay at home, don't go out and walk around, so as not to cause any trouble." ”

Bai Yun's face jumped, and he wanted to say something more, but he remembered that Gan's was only a female streamer, where could he get any ideas?

Turning his head, he saw Bai Anheng, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, what about your father?!" ”

"Father has already entered the palace in the morning." Because I don't know when the eldest prince will have an accident, Bai Anheng and Bai Chi still have to go when they should go on an errand, and they can't let the eldest prince see any flaws.

"Why are you still in the palace?! When is this all gone! ”

Gan's face turned cold all of a sudden, and he sneered: "Who has any foresight?" Do you dare to pretend to be sick and don't go? If the second uncle has the ability to know the future, he should come over and talk to your eldest brother the day before, so that he can be an official today! ”

Bai Yun's face turned red, and he laughed dryly: "I, this is also ......"

Bai Anjue was so frightened that his face was like earth, he stood in place and bowed his head silently, and he had long lost the arrogance and domineering spirit of the previous years.

The people outside hurriedly came in and said, "Second master! There were no pedestrians on the street outside, but I heard the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing, but it didn't make a fuss to our door. ”

"Let them watch the door, and if anyone knocks on the door, make sure to see it clearly, and don't let in people who shouldn't let them in."

"It's nature."

Bai Jun hurriedly said: "Do you know what the situation is in the Lu Dao Palace?" Can the eldest prince occupy the palace? What about the emperor? ”

The man laughed dryly: "Second master, the little one doesn't have clairvoyance and ears, our family didn't hear it well this morning, so they closed the door, and they didn't even dare to go out to buy the vegetables at this time, who still has the ability to inquire about this?" ”

Bai Jun touched his beard in embarrassment: "Aren't I worried about my eldest brother......" said, and turned his head to look at Bai Anheng, "Second brother, do you want to call someone to investigate?" Your father ......"

"My nephew has sent someone out of the city, but now there is chaos outside, and I am afraid that there is news that will not be able to come back for a while." After pushing him back, Bai Anheng turned his head to Gan and said, "Mother, my son will go ahead first." ”

"Be careful! Don't go out! ”

"My son knows how to go." As he spoke, he glanced at Han Zhen, who understood what he meant by asking him to accompany his mother-in-law, and nodded slightly.

Seeing Bai Anheng go out, Bai Jun thought about it again and again, and smiled at Gan's family: "Sister-in-law, I'll also go ahead to take a look, in case the second nephew can't take care of it for a while, I can still help." ”

The main house is mostly a female dependent, and Bai Jun should go to the front study if he has nothing to do, but now that he wants to leave by himself, naturally no one will stop him.

Bai Anhui saw that his father was going to go out, so he had to hang his head and follow behind.

Bai Anheng instructed everyone to investigate everywhere, and he must not let the young people take the opportunity to enter the house. And be prepared in case a rebel army strikes. Fortunately, the family had already prepared, and the guards had also knocked in advance. There were some guards assigned to him by the five princes before, but now they have returned to Beijing, but the five princes have not asked them to go back, so the people in the house are quite rich.

was busy, Bai Yun came in, and after he gave an order, he sighed and came over to complain to Bai Anheng: "I said that your father is a dead brain, and he still doesn't listen." Look, who would have thought that the eldest prince would be a bold man, if he was called to ...... Let's try to get it again, isn't it too late now? ”

Bai Anheng's eyebrows were raised, and he pursed his lips and looked at Bai Jun, but he really didn't know how to answer this.

"He can become the emperor when he enters the palace? Isn't the old emperor still dead? Bai Anheng didn't say anything, but Bai Anheng answered.

Bai Jun turned his head and patted him on the head angrily: "Say you're stupid, you've really been stupid in the past few years?!" How old is the emperor? The fifth prince is not in Beijing now, and the eldest prince is now in this one...... I'm afraid it's really going to change! ”

Bai Anheng took a breath, suppressed the idea of arguing with Bai Jun, and walked towards the door, saying to the two of them: "Second uncle, I still have to go to the back garden to have a look, although the courtyard wall there is high, it can't stand up to the big and few people, in case an invisible person calls someone in from the garden, then the sin is great." ”

I heard that he went to the garden, but Bai Jun didn't follow, and stayed in the study to call for water and tea.
