Walking out of Daming Palace, Jia Baoyu's heart was very cold, extremely cold.

Originally, I thought that although Emperor Jingtai had a more withdrawn personality and seemed to be a little more enweighed, as long as he was loyal to his duties and careful not to make mistakes, even if he was not favored, he should be safe.

But today, it seems that my thoughts are still too simple.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the ancients did not deceive me.

He didn't offend Emperor Jingtai in any way, on the contrary, he had always had a slight credit. Even if he has some personal grudges with the eldest prince, in the eyes of the emperor, this should be nothing.

Even the royal family who doesn't need harmony between their sons, it's just too normal for the courtiers to be discordant, and the emperor will be happy to see this situation.

But he was so cautious, and today he still felt a biting chill from Emperor Jingtai, even a killing intent......

Fang Cai, if it weren't for the fact that those poisonous smokes really didn't have any effect on him, he really couldn't say if he would be able to get out of Daming Palace today.

Even if it is, it is not safe.

The suspicion of the monarch and the minister has been decided.

"Your Excellency!"

The guards and soldiers came up to meet them.

Jia Baoyu said: "Transfer 500 soldiers to rush to the Fukang Palace, and take over all the defenses in the palace." ”

"Your Excellency?"

The pro-soldiers were puzzled.

Jia Baoyu only said: "Go ahead, do what I ask." ”

Looking at Jia Baoyu's expression, the soldiers could probably guess Jia Baoyu's current mood, so they didn't ask any more, and immediately someone went to transfer troops as instructed.

Jia Baoyu glanced back at Miyagi.

At this time, night fell, and the dark lanterns were already hung in the palace city, and everything seemed so quiet and secret.

"Let's go, go to the palace."

Jia Baoyu turned over and got on his horse and took his personal soldiers directly to the Fukang Palace.

Emperor Jingtai asked him to take charge of the funeral of the eldest prince, although he didn't know what the emperor had in mind, but it was obvious that if the funeral was in chaos again, he would not be able to get out of it.

He definitely didn't want to smoke again, and he didn't want to taste the feeling of life and death being controlled by others.

……

Rongguo Mansion.

The Jia family naturally knew what was probably going on in the Great Prince's Mansion, after all, there was such a big movement in the capital at dusk, and the whole city was still under martial law.

But they don't pay more attention to the others, they only care about one person.

Jia Baoyu also went to the Great Prince's Mansion today.

Moreover, there has been no news back yet.

Although Mother Jia was sitting in the deep house, today's matter was too important to hide from her.

When she knew that there were thieves and assassins in the capital, and her precious grandson happened to be guarding the emperor, she was scared half to death, but it was Mrs. Wang who persuaded her to be slightly better.

But he kept sending people out to inquire.

It's just a shame to say that the Jia family, as the founding mansion, has few people in charge now.

Ning Guofu is in a desperate vein, Jia Zheng is an official in other places, Jia Yu is a waste, except for Jia Baoyu, there is only one Jia Lian who is still slightly usable.

But Jia Lian went out to inquire twice, but he could only find out if he had heard of Jia Baoyu's accident, and he couldn't tell where Jia Baoyu was and what he was doing.

Jia Mu and the others were naturally dissatisfied, so as soon as he came back, they sent him out again......

"Mingyan is back!"

finally heard that Jia Baoyu's personal little servant Mingyan had returned home, and Jia's mother immediately called for a pass.

As soon as they met, without waiting for Mingyan to kowtow, Jia's mother asked, "Where is Baoyu?" ”

"Back to the old lady, Bao Er Ye specially asked the little one to come back to report safety, Bao Er Ye said that he may come back very late tonight, so let the old lady and Mrs. not worry......"

Jia Mu interrupted: "Where is the other person, such a big thing happened outside, why didn't he go back to the house earlier and do it outside?" ”

"Second Master Bao has received a new errand, and he wants to stay in the palace to deal with the affairs of the nobles, and he can't take a break, so tell the old lady and Mrs. not to worry, rest early, deal with the affairs over there, and he will come back."

Mingyan followed Jia Baoyu and became more and more clever.

Even if there are so many people in the hall, he will not interrupt his speech. Therefore, his words are naturally very credible.

Jia Mu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Wang asked again: "Is Baoyu really okay?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, yes, Second Master Bao is fine, there is nothing to do, and now in the palace, there are hundreds of forbidden troops guarding it, and it is safe."

Amitabha.

Mrs. Wang and the others were completely relieved, and ordered Mingyan to hurry back and wait, looking at Jia Baoyu, don't pay attention to safety, don't be reckless, come back immediately to report something, etc.

Mingyan smiled and walked away.

Then in Rongqingtang, Jia's mother couldn't help but complain a few words about Jia Baoyu's ability, and she didn't know anything about the Gu family.

was laughed and said by Wang Xifeng, Li Kun and others before giving up.

……

In the imperial city, the residence of the second prince.

The second prince has been crowned the king of Qi, according to the etiquette system, the prince's mansion, dozens of subordinate officials can be set up, and the government soldiers are thousand.

Of course, generally no royal palace will set these up, firstly, to avoid suspicion, and secondly, to reduce expenses.

The same is true for the second prince.

He only set up a few government officials to manage the affairs inside and outside the government, but these were all his henchmen without exception.

At this time, he gathered a few of his most trusted people to discuss secretly in the study.

Suddenly, a tall man with a masked face walked in.

The others were not surprised, they all knew that this was one of the most trusted people around the second prince, and it was rumored that the second prince had privately formed a strong force, which was handed over to this person who always wore brown robes.

Even the second prince called him "Mr. Lu".

Mr. Lu walked up to the second prince and whispered a few words, and saw that the second prince's face changed, and then he stood up and exclaimed, "Really? ”

Mr. Lu nodded.

The second prince's face changed for a while, and he suddenly said to the people below: "You have to be careful recently, if it is not necessary, it is best not to leave the palace." Okay, let's all go down, this king and Mr. Lu have other important matters to discuss. ”

"Yes." The others all got up, saluted the second prince, and then left.

"Are you sure it's him?"

"Sure it is."

The second prince walked out of the head of the case, his eyes glazed.

"Is Your Highness going to the appointment?"

The second prince was a little hesitant, at this time, it was best for him to stay in the palace and not go anywhere.

But......

He had to go.

……

The Emperor is eighty years old this year.

When people are old, they are always afraid of cold, so even if it is summer, the emperor will still put a pot of fire in the palace at night.

The charcoal fires in Xiyuan are the best silver frost charcoals, and they burn without smoke or crackling.

At this time, the Emperor Taishang only put on a pale yellow embroidered gold dragon cloak, sat quietly on the big nanmu chair, read a list in his hand, and then put it on the brazier at will, and slowly lit it.

The fiery red fire light shone out the face of the Emperor Taishang, which was full of vicissitudes.

Feng Xiang walked over, saw that the emperor was sweating a little on his face, so he moved the brazier farther away, and suddenly heard the emperor say: "You said that he just died of an unfortunate son, so he was furious."

However, I died so many sons at the beginning, why did I still live well to this day, Feng Xiang, you say, am I a ruthless person? ”

Feng Xiang said: "Of course the old emperor is not a ruthless person, others don't know, don't the minions still know, how big a blow those things hit the old emperor at the beginning."

It's just that the old emperor has the world in mind, and always puts the country's society first, followed by blood, so that he can open up Daxuan to such a strong point step by step.

The old emperor is the saint of the ages. ”

The Emperor Taishang smiled when he heard this.

"Is there any progress on what you want to investigate?"

When Feng Xiang heard this, he immediately bent down and pleaded guilty: "The slave is incompetent, then Su Yucheng is just an orphan and has no relatives." Even the two godsons were executed by His Majesty early in the morning, and the minions and others were still secretly investigating, and there were no clues. ”

Emperor Taishang waved his hand, he didn't expect Feng Xiang to find out the answer in such a short period of effort, so he just asked: "Then what do you think, what do you mean by Su Yucheng's words when he is dying, Emperor, Queen?" ”

"Minions should die, minions don't know."

What are you kidding, the emperor is the queen? What are the second princes, the third princess, the fourth prince, and the fifth princess?

Even if you really have any ideas, you don't dare to say nonsense, this kind of thing related to the blood of the royal family, just saying half a word wrong is a capital crime.

Seeing that Feng Xiang was so frightened that he knelt down, the Emperor Taishang didn't embarrass him, stood up with the handrail, and just said, "Check it, check it, maybe you will understand." ”

Feng Xiang nodded, and hurriedly helped the Emperor Taishang to walk into the bedroom.

"You go to deliver a decree to Uncle Jing Yuan early tomorrow morning, and let him obediently go to Xiao Jiu as a righteous son. I don't know how to lift the boy, the number of people in the capital, I don't know how many people dream of slapping Xiao Jiu, what is he proud of, is it not a loss to Xiao Jiu to be a righteous son?

I just went to be a filial son for others, hum. ”

Feng Xiang, who suddenly heard this, almost didn't laugh out loud.

Hurriedly nodded in response. Then I thought to myself: Master, master, you are not leaving, you have to be in a hurry to go.

However, in this world, I am afraid that only you can let the old emperor worry about it like this, hehehe......
