Chapter 156: Dealing with it
Hearing Lord Sun's words, the people in the room were not surprised, and their faces were calm, but they made Lord Sun a little uneasy? Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already knew about the second prince's plan? Did you come here on your own?
The other three were not surprised, but they had analyzed the possible next behavior of the second prince before Lord Sun came, and a person with such an easy-to-understand personality was not so difficult to guess, so after hearing what Lord Xiao said, they were not so surprised.
The crown prince smiled at Lord Sun and said softly, "Lord Sun doesn't have to worry, just tell what you know." ”
Lord Sun settled his mind and said to a few people: "The second prince saw the Cao Governor's Mansion who was caught by Lord Xiao today, and he was furious, let us take the Cao Governor's Mansion out of Dali Temple before the emperor liquidates, and the time may be in these few days." ”
"Is he going to die or live?" Xiao Hao suddenly asked.
Master Sun hesitated for a moment and replied, "Alive, the second prince said, after all, the living are more useful than the dead." ”
When the crown prince heard this, he raised his eyebrows, although he still had a smile on his face, his eyes were extremely cold: "It seems that my second emperor's brother's plan is not small." ”
The prince suddenly thought of something, and said to Lord Sun: "If the Cao Governor's Mansion is convicted, the Sun family will be a criminal minister, what do you think?" ”
Master Sun lowered his head, making it impossible to see the look on his face, and his voice was very calm: "The prince thinks too much, how can there be eggs under the party and government?" Sometimes sacrifices are necessary. ”
Several people looked at Lord Sun and didn't speak, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke first: "What are the plans of the second prince, you can tell me." ”
"The second prince wants to take advantage of the emperor tomorrow to hold a celebration banquet for Lord Xiao and his wife, and at the same time, he will send people and horses to pretend to be people from the northern herdsmen to go to Dali Temple to rob people, if they can, they will rescue Aguna and Cao Zhifu together, if not, they will take advantage of the chaos to leave."
Chen Liu fanned the fan for a while, as if he didn't care: "The second prince has played this abacus well, taking advantage of the fact that there are the least people in the official mansion and pretending to be the head of the Beimu clan, even if the East Window incident happens, he can also put the blame on the head of the Beimu, if there is no accident, he can save the two of them at once, presumably the Beimu clan will also be very grateful to him." ”
Then, Chen Liu slammed the fan away and held it in his hand: "It's just that he can't think of it, we still have a back hand." ”
The prince smiled and said to Master Sun: "Thank you Lord Sun for bringing us the news, thank you for your hard work." ”
Lord Sun listened to His Royal Highness the Prince's concern, ironed in his heart, and said to the Prince: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the news has been delivered, and we can't stay in the Prince's Mansion for too long, so Wechen will retire first." ”
The prince waved his hand, and Master Sun quietly withdrew from the study.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Xiao Hao, then turned his head to look at Chen Liu, and ordered, "Tomorrow's affairs may require you to think a little more." ”
Chen Liu nodded, tomorrow Xiao Hao will definitely be the protagonist at the banquet, and the crown prince is the future lord of the Dayong Dynasty, no matter what the banquet is, he can't be absent, as for Hang Yixuan, he is even more impossible, an upstart who has just entered the imperial court, even if he has a little thought, but he is from a peasant family, what manpower can be available, this errand can only fall on his Chen Liu's head!
Seeing that Chen Liu didn't react, the prince had no choice but to say bluntly: "In that case, why don't you hurry up and prepare, do you still want to rely on luck to arrest people tomorrow?" ”
Chen Liu still doesn't understand, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to whisper to Xiao Hao and not let him listen, so he wants to drive people out! Chen Liu snorted lightly and said to the prince, "Chen Liu retired." Then he turned and walked out of the house.
This series of movements was done very smoothly, making the remaining two people in the room stunned.
Seeing Chen Liu leaving, the prince continued to speak: "The pattern you asked me to check before you left now has some eyebrows. ”
Xiao Hao's eyelids jumped, and that complicated feeling surged in his heart again: "Really? ”
Seeing Xiao Hao's reaction that he didn't care too much, the prince thought that he might not care too much about the origin of this pattern, but he still spoke: "This pattern, I searched for many places before but didn't find it, until I found an old man who had seen this pattern in a village not far from the capital. ”
"Coincidentally, this old man once served in the palace and served as a guard, but when he got older, he didn't have the idea of continuing to climb up, so he left the palace ......and went back."
Before the prince finished speaking, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Xiao Hao: "So what is the origin of this pattern?" ”
The prince choked and replied: "According to the old man, he has seen that pattern in the palace, once when he was on night patrol in the palace, he suddenly felt someone passing by, and when he looked back, he only saw a man in black with this tattoo disappearing on the wall, and when he chased him, the person was gone." ”
Speaking of which, the crown prince also felt a little strange, what a strict place the palace was, and the guards would patrol the palace every other hour, how could anyone break into the palace at night and not be discovered?
When Xiao Hao heard the prince's answer, although he already had the answer in his heart, after hearing the prince's words, his hands were still unconsciously clenched into fists.
After a while, Xiao Hao said to the prince: "Thank you prince, Weichen already has the answer in his heart, and the prince doesn't have to check it anymore." ”
Looking at Xiao Hao's strange expression, the prince was a little puzzled, but he decided to continue the investigation, but he changed the topic at the moment: "Speaking of which, my brother and sister asked me to keep an eye on the Third Emperor Brother before, and I didn't pay attention to it originally, but it really made me find out something interesting." ”
Xiao Hao didn't want to go into the previous topic, so he asked, "What's wrong with the third prince?" ”
"I, the Third Emperor Brother, should be regarded as the kindest and harmless of our brothers, right? He has a gentle personality and does not fight or grab, and is a completely invisible person, but how did I forget, in the royal family, how can there be ordinary people? ”
"I, the third emperor brother, is really a wonderful person, well-behaved and obedient on the surface, but the second emperor brother has his figure behind the things against us, and even the matter that the second emperor brother and Beimu want to kill you this time have been intervened by him. I, the second emperor brother, is more capable than we imagined. ”
"And a few months ago, he suddenly brought a peasant girl Song Tinghe, and since then he has been performing very well in the court, like a prophet of the future, and handled the problems in the court the next day very well, even as I am the prince. Coincidentally, this Song Tinghe was also asked by my younger brother and sister to monitor it, Ah Hao, did you say that her younger sister knew that there was something wrong with these two people. ”
When Xiao Hao heard this, he didn't have any waves in his heart, even though the three princes he saw before were all gentle and polite, but he didn't forget that he should never judge a person by his appearance, but when he heard Song Tinghe's name again, he was a little surprised: "In this case, we should also beware of them." ”
The prince saw that Xiao Hao's face was not as ugly as before, so he wanted to joke: "Speaking of which, my younger brother and sister are really heroines, not only good-looking and outstanding, but also able to study excellent crops like potatoes for the country and the people, if she hadn't married you early, I would ......."
The prince looked at Xiao Hao with regretful eyes, as if Xiao Hao had done something heinous and bad.
Xiao Hao suddenly felt a little unhappy, what does the prince mean by this? Next year, he is younger than him, but he keeps calling his own mother's brother and sister, now it seems that he is taking advantage of others?
Xiao Hao smiled, and there was a lot of malice in that smile: "Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels that it is a pity, there is no way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already engaged, right?" And the wedding date is set for June this year, and I don't think you will have the opportunity to meet a wife as perfect as my wife. ”
When the prince heard this, he was stunned, this person, just saw that he was in a bad mood and made a joke, how could he have thought that he would be scolded back like this, he was angry in his heart, and said directly to Xiao Hao: "Okay, I know, everything is over, why don't you leave and stay with me?" Do you want to eat with me? ”
Xiao Hao saluted the prince: "His Royal Highness the prince, then Weichen will retire, my wife is still waiting at home to eat with me, Weichen is reluctant to wait too long." After saying that, he quickly flashed out of the study.
was so angry that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince slammed a book on the door frame, let out a "bang", and did not forget to scold: "Hmph! Xiao Hao! You wait for me! ”
When Xiao Hao came back, the dining table in Hangfu was already full of food, just waiting for him alone.
As soon as he saw him go home, He immediately greeted him warmly, led him to the main seat and sat down, and everyone began to eat with chopsticks.
The eldest brother-in-law, Hang Yixuan, who was sitting on the side, said without pain: "My sister-in-law is really busy, Dong'er has been on the road for so long, and he has only come back on the first day, and he hasn't had time to rest properly, so he waited for you for most of the day to eat a hot meal." ”
Xiao Hao heard it but didn't get angry, well, he is worthy of being a big brother, and this scaring person is good at it.
Instead, He Shi lightly slapped Hang Yixuan: "What are you talking about!" You speak well to me. ”
Even Father Hang, who had been looking at Xiao Hao unpleasantly, opened Xiao Hao's mouth and spoke: "That's it, Yixuan, on the first day your sister and sister-in-law came back today, it was rare for everyone to sit down and have a reunion dinner together, so don't talk." ”
After speaking, he quietly leaned into Hang Yixuan's ear and whispered: "Son, I know that your sister and your mother are good to Xiao Hao, and your heart is unbalanced, but on this good day today, you can bear with it, good." ”
Hang Yixuan's face turned green, where was he unbalanced?
What is there!?
