Chapter 253: Asking for Help

The Seventh Prince was very surprised, and his heart was full of fear, and he knelt on the ground, constantly kowtowing to the emperor and asking for guilt.

But at this moment, the emperor has already determined that the Seventh Prince is the kind of person who has a femme fatale heart and does not care about sibling love, so no matter how the Seven Princes plead, the emperor has a calm and indifferent look.

The Seventh Prince saw that his father's face was ugly, and he didn't want to pay attention to him at all, and immediately knew that not only was he not appreciated by his father because of this matter, but he provoked the emperor's anger because he was too eager to report the prince, and suddenly the Seven Princes began to have some regrets in their hearts.

He regretted that he saw those letters, why he was in such a hurry to deal with the prince's affairs, if he was not in a hurry, maybe he would not be so embarrassed now.

"Father! You forgive the reckless sin of the son, and the son is convicted! The Seventh Prince knelt down and crawled to the emperor's side.

The emperor buried his head in the face, looking at the twists and turns on the desk to distract his angry emotions at the moment, he no longer wanted to think about the prince he had just discovered, as long as he thought of the prince, he began to feel uncomfortable and had a headache.

"Alas! Let's go down! I don't want to see you stay here any longer. The Emperor waved his hand impatiently, and then ordered the Seventh Prince to withdraw.

When the eunuch standing at the door saw that the emperor was angry, he immediately didn't dare to continue to compliment the Seventh Prince, so he simply stepped forward and stopped in front of the Seventh Prince, and then said, "Seventh Prince, please go back!" The emperor is angry at the moment, you shouldn't stay here for a long time! ”

The Seventh Prince looked at the father-in-law looking at him with a cold face, and immediately knew that if he stayed here, it was estimated that the emperor would not be extraordinarily kind to him and forgive him for the reckless crime just now. So he simply nodded knowingly, and then stood up helplessly.

The Seventh Prince walked outside the door, stretched out his sleeves and wiped away the two tears that had just flowed out of the corners of his eyes because of fear on his cheeks, and then glanced at the emperor's imperial study with some deep meaning, and the Seven Princes were still very helpless in their hearts.

The seventh prince left the palace helplessly, because he was afraid of being suspected by the emperor, so he didn't dare to go to Concubine Yang's palace when he left, but he planned to go to the palace of the concubine the next day to say goodbye.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is strictly investigating who in the palace is selling the big exam questions to the students of Tianbo Mansion Academy, and the prime minister, who is in charge of the chief examiner of the big exam, is naturally the first to take the blame.

So, when the prime minister heard that several suspects had been caught in the palace and began to torture and interrogate, even those who were in a hurry couldn't sit still in the house.

The prime minister ordered people to prepare a sedan chair for ordinary people on a small street outside the back door of the prime minister's mansion, and then the prime minister also took off the clothes made of silk brocade ribbons that he wore on weekdays, and uncharacteristically put on a dress that only civilians wear, and prepared to pack up and go out of the house.

An old patron serving the prime minister next to him looked at the prime minister's dress, and thought that the prime minister knew that he had done something bad with his good intentions, so he was pleading guilty on his own, so he had to change into ordinary clothes and feel the life of ordinary people in advance, so as not to be degraded by the emperor in the future, but he was not used to it.

So the servant spoke boldly.

"My lord, do you want to wear this outfit to experience the life of the people in advance!?" The servant looked up and down at the prime minister with a curious expression, except that the clothes were clean coarse linen, and the white and fat cheeks did not show any distress at all.

As soon as the prime minister heard this, he also heard the sarcasm in his words, and immediately he frowned, glared at the servant with a displeased look, and said, "Who taught you to speak like that!?" What a daring thing! No matter how much I say it, I am a prime minister, and it is better than you group of Bao Niang! ”

The servant originally wanted to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere, but who knew that the prime minister was actually angry, so the servant said to the prime minister with an apologetic face: "My lord forgives my sins, but the little one is wrong." ”

The servant immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Prime Minister.

The prime minister sighed impatiently, and then left the room with a small servant quickly.

The prime minister walked out of the house, all the way thinking that his errand was in charge of today's errand went wrong, and even a servant guessed that he might be degraded by the emperor in the future, which couldn't help but make the prime minister feel Alexander again, the prime minister wiped a handful of sweat beads on his forehead, and there was a trace of nervousness in his heart, and just walked to the door of the back door courtyard, the prime minister's feet immediately stopped.

"You go back and tell Madame, bring the thousand-year-old snow ginseng stored in my library, as well as a few snow lotuses, and I will take them to the Three Princes' Mansion to give them to others." Cheng commanded the little guy behind him.

The little guy immediately answered and walked back quickly.

It's not that he didn't bring gifts, but when the prime minister thought of the scene that he might be reprimanded by the emperor in the future, if he didn't have one or two backers who could help him speak, then even if he had nine wings, it would be difficult to fly out of this cage.

So it's better to bring more gifts, so that you can be more safe.

The crown prince was reported to the court and the central government, and it was rumored that he was intercepted by the palace people before he returned to the palace that day, and was sent directly to the internal affairs mansion.

And the Seventh Prince was also reprimanded by the emperor for exposing the evil deeds of the prince, and if the prime minister asked the Seventh Prince again, there was no such possibility.

After preparing the things, the prime minister sat on the prepared Pingjiao and went to the back door of the Three Princes' Mansion, and the Prime Minister came to the front and walked for a while, but fortunately, the guards at the gate of the Three Princes' Mansion did not give him a face, but let him go directly.

As soon as the prime minister entered the inner house of the three princes, he asked the three princes to say goodbye, and Tuoba Heng was very helpless to help him up.

The prime minister was brought into the house by Tuoba Heng, and there were only two of them in the house, and the prime minister told Tuoba Heng about his worries and suspicions.

"Third Highness, you also know that during this period of time, the prince of Bofu Academy peddling big exam questions caused a stir in Beijing." The prime minister's rare look of embarrassment, his brows furrowed very tightly, as if he was very embarrassed and worried.

Tuoba Heng looked pampered and elegant, and his slender eyebrows and eyes glanced up and down at the prime minister, but he saw that he was also a person with a head and a face on weekdays, and it was probably a helpless move to dress up like this today.

Tuoba Heng pulled a faint smile on his face, and then said: "It's not that I don't know about this matter, it's just that I don't know how deeply the Prime Minister is involved in this matter?" ”

The prime minister saw that Tuoba Heng didn't sell Guan Zi and asked him directly if he was involved, and immediately showed a faint smile on his face, and then continued to say with a bitter face: "Deep, it's not deep, it's just that on the day the prince was going to take the exam, it passed through my hands." Originally, I didn't want to give it to him, but he relied on the favor of the emperor and the queen to him, and Weichen really didn't dare to offend more! ”

Tuoba Heng's Danfeng eyes sank slightly, and his eyes seemed to be carefully thinking about the meaning of his words for a long time, obviously what he said was not clear, which meant that the prime minister knew and may have taken the initiative to confront His Royal Highness the Prince, so he did such a thing.

Tuoba Heng then had a gentle smile on his face, which made the prime minister unable to grasp what he was thinking, and he immediately retreated helplessly in his heart.

But when he thought that the three princes didn't want to help him, Tuoba Heng said lightly: "Okay, since you are also innocent of your mistakes, I will help you intercede with your father. ”

The prime minister suddenly heard that Tuoba Heng had promised what he wanted in his heart, and he was so happy that he almost burst into tears.

So Tuoba Heng sent the prime minister out of the house, and promised him that he would find someone to inform him when the matter was done.

In the afternoon, Tuoba Heng brought some blood swallows that had just arrived in the south into the palace.

Tuoba Heng took those blood swallows directly to the Qianqing Palace where the emperor was, and the emperor was still busy reviewing the affairs of the three provinces at the moment, so Tuoba Heng went in and didn't disturb the emperor too loudly.

The emperor saw the thin and tall figure come in, and when he entered his study, he sat in the square chair next to him without saying a word and looked at him quietly.

The emperor finally got a little tired of looking, so he put down the fold in his hand and looked up at Tuoba Heng, who was sitting on the side.

"King Qin, how come you have time to see your father." The emperor looked at King Qin with a kind smile.

The third prince glanced at the emperor with a sweet smile, and then bowed respectfully to the emperor.

"Erchen has seen his father, long live his father."

The emperor immediately showed a look of surprise on his face, and then asked with a smile: "Didn't you come in and didn't shout just now, why did you sit for a long time before you remembered to kneel?" ”

Tuoba Heng immediately said: "Back to my father, my son just saw that my father was working on state affairs and couldn't bear to disturb it, so I deliberately waited for you to rest before kneeling." ”

The emperor nodded immediately, but he didn't expect that his son, although he was not born well, but his behavior was very appropriate, and he always got his mind much more than the recent seven princes and princes.

Before the emperor could ask, Tuoba Heng immediately stepped forward with an understanding look and handed over a square box wrapped in red paper.

"Father, this is a newly acquired blood swallow in the southern country, it is said that eating it is very good for your health, and the retainer sees that you have been working very hard recently, you still have to take good care of your body!" Tuoba Heng looked cautious and meticulously concerned about the emperor's safety.

This made the emperor's heart warm, as if this son was his most intimate one, and the emperor was also very affected by this feeling of being cared for.

So the emperor leaked a very pleasant smile on his face, opened the blood swallow and looked at the blood red color inside, as well as the crystal clear feeling of the bird's nest, which was simply the best of the best.

The emperor immediately smiled knowingly and said, "I didn't expect that my third son was so considerate. ”
