The princess is seriously ill!

This is the only news that Li Xiao heard in Jingshi, about his patient. For so long, he thought that the princess's union was already well, and even he had a feeling that he was about to leave.

But today, Xu Sheng suddenly came to him and said that the princess was seriously ill.

If it weren't for those people looking for trouble, wouldn't it be the princess who was naughty?

I think so, I still have to go. Otherwise, even if he escaped the lawsuit, His Majesty the Emperor would find trouble for himself.

"Li Gongzi, you can get out of the car." Xu Sheng lifted the curtain and slowly got out of the car holding the little eunuch's hand.

"Hmm." Li Xiao nodded and followed closely.

When you get out of the car, the first thing that catches your eye is the high red palace wall, all red, like a thousand years of murmuring, solemn and solemn, making people daunting.

When I came back to my senses and looked down, I saw a wide door. The thick palace door is open, and when you look inside, you can't see the end, but even so, you can still feel the magnificent momentum that continues to emanate from inside.

The red wall is accompanied by the red door, and the antique format makes people's eyes shine.

This is the Haoguo Palace.

"Li Gongzi, in the imperial city, idle people are not allowed to enter." Xu Sheng smiled and said, "Your friend and maid can't come, I hope you'll forgive me." ”

"Nothing." Li Xiao smiled faintly.

Li Xiao still understands this reason, so he asked Chen Ziye to send the little girl back early, and did not force him to bring people into the palace. However, he rode in the same carriage with Xu Sheng on the way, and he was extremely uncomfortable to see by Xu's father-in-law, and he always felt like he was on pins and needles.

Stretching his waist, Li Xiao leaned on the carriage and watched Xu Sheng talk to the guards. I thought that the status of this father-in-law Xu was too low, how could he be different from those eunuchs on TV, instead of yelling at him, he had to explain the situation to the guards.

Father-in-law Xu can't do it either.

"Gongzi Li, you can enter the palace." Xu Sheng trotted over and said anxiously.

After that, he took Li Xiao and walked into the palace quickly.

As soon as he entered the palace, Li Xiao had the feeling that Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

The crimson palace walls on both sides stretch all the way, and you can't see the edge. Raise your head, you can see the golden glazed tile roof shining in the skylight from afar, rich and gorgeous, quite a kind of "eaves teeth high peck, each hugging the terrain" meaning. There are also many dense ancient trees, towering to the sky, extremely magnificent.

"Li Gongzi, when you enter the palace, you still have to be more behaved." Xu Sheng walked in front and said with a smile.

"Li Xiao understands." Despite saying this, Li Xiao continued to look around.

In his previous life, he had not had the opportunity to go to the Forbidden City, and it was rare to come back to the palace in this life, so it would be a pity not to see more. Today's treatment of the princess is regarded as paying the ticket to visit the palace.

"Hey, by the way, Gonggong Xu, Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, how do you know that I am in Jingzhaoyin Mansion?" Li Xiao looked at the butterflies on the wall of the palace and asked.

Childe laughed. Xu Sheng turned his head, smiled and grabbed Li Xiao, who was playing with butterflies, and said, "Although this Jingshi City is big, how can there be anything that Your Majesty doesn't know. ”

"Well, that's right." Li Xiao broke free of Xu Sheng and kicked a pebble.

"But since Your Majesty knows, why didn't you come forward earlier, you have to get better?"

"Is the card better?" Xu Sheng looked at Li Xiao blankly, thinking repeatedly about what Li Xiao said.

"It's when the case is over that you're here." Li Xiao explained.

Xu Sheng turned his head, squinted at Li Xiao, and said, "Childe, you can't say that, you are the person invited by Your Majesty to Jingshi, if Your Majesty comes forward to understand the case, then what is it." ”

"If the son of the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people today, is it possible that the prince wants to make His Majesty infamy?"

"Gong Xu's words are serious." Li Xiao smiled.

He doesn't have this kind of thought, the emperor is already interesting enough to himself, he has no fame, he can sit in the court, this is already the emperor's favor, if you want to get another inch and favoritism, it is really shameless. And he didn't panic about that case at all, no matter whether he won or lost the case, nothing big would happen.

You should eat and drink, and it will not affect your life in Beijing in the slightest.

Of course, I believe that the person in the plan will also find a way to help him clear his name.

"Grandpa Xu, who lives here?" Li Xiao stood in front of a palace and asked.

The courtyard in front of me is closed, and the decoration outside is very old, very dim, and the breath of time is blowing in the face. The whole palace gives people the feeling of being a kind of decadence.

Standing outside the door and listening carefully, there was a slight sound of the piano coming out of the courtyard, and the ancient rhyme was melodious.

"Hey, don't look at it, son, we have to rush to Fengyang Pavilion, it's late, the concubine is to blame, we can't afford it." Xu Sheng pulled Li Xiao, who was standing in place, and hurriedly left.

It seems to be the courtyard in front of you, and it is unlucky.

"Grandpa Xu, there are no people around, so let's talk about it." Li Xiao stepped forward, took out a silver ticket, and handed it to Xu Sheng.

"A little heart, my father-in-law took it to drink tea."

Xu Sheng looked at the silver ticket in his hand, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he secretly stuffed the silver ticket into his sleeve, and then tidied up his somewhat messy clothes.

"That courtyard, where the prince of the dynasty lives." Xu Sheng said as he walked.

"Prince?" Li Xiao looked at Xu Sheng and was stunned.

It stands to reason that once the prince is crowned the crown prince, is he not allowed to live in the East Palace, why is he still living in the palace, and it is still in such a dilapidated courtyard, is it possible that the emperor does not like to see this prince very much?

"The crown prince indeed." Xu Sheng sighed, and then said: "Son, don't you know, the prince of our Haoguo is not born to a concubine. His biological mother is a member of the Yao tribe, a female historian in charge of the library pavilion, and fortunately His Majesty coveted it, so he gave birth to a dragon son. ”

Originally, he couldn't live like his mother, but fortunately, there were people in the palace who were kind and kept the prince. But you know, Gongzi, royal people value blood, so although the prince is the eldest son, it is difficult to get weight. ”

"The name of this prince is just a name, and he has no real power."

Looking at Xu Sheng, who sighed, Li Xiao lowered his head and pondered.

He didn't care about the cause of death of the prince's mother, after all, the palace was no less deceitful than the court, the prince's mother had a humble status, and it was normal to be troubled by other concubines.

It's a bit too much to not let the prince live in the East Palace. Anyway, this is also a prince, don't you want to lose face? It's no wonder that the courtyard where I live is so dilapidated, I'm afraid that our Emperor's Majesty doesn't want others to notice this prince at all.

"Does the prince spend all day in the courtyard playing the piano?" Li Xiao thought of the sound of the piano wafting out of the courtyard and asked.

"Fuqin?" Xu Sheng looked at Li Xiao with an embarrassed expression.

"This is a scandal, so it's better that Childe doesn't want to know."

"What does my father-in-law mean?" Xu Sheng didn't say anything, and Li Xiao suddenly became interested. took out a silver ticket again and handed it to Xu Sheng.

Well, the more he can't know, the more he wants to know, curiosity is a strange thing.

"Okay, I'll tell my son." Xu Sheng took the silver ticket, put it in his sleeve, and said: "It is not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who strokes the qin, but an artist that the prince brought back to the palace from outside a few years ago. ”

"Entertainer? Female? Li Xiao touched his chin and said. Unexpectedly, the crown prince hid in the palace, and he was not afraid that his emperor's father would cut him.

Xu Sheng shook his head with an embarrassed face and didn't speak.

"Could it be a man?" Li Xiao's mouth opened wide, looking surprised.

This is interesting, the prince of Haoguo is hiding Jiaojiao in the palace golden house, not to mention, hiding is still a man. In the palace, singing every night, male love and male love, have not been abolished, is the emperor completely ignoring him, or is he thinking of the friendship of the prince's dead mother and leaving him alive?

I have to say that Li Xiao admires this prince very much, he is a fierce man, and it is even more difficult to hide a man in the palace.

"Alas, son, tell me, it's just a matter of not being valued by Your Majesty, why do you still give up on yourself." Xu Sheng sighed and said softly.

This kind of thing, it's not good to say it out loud, talking about things in the palace, it's a big crime, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one around, and the hundred taels of silver given by Li Xiao, he wouldn't have said it.

"Hmm." Li Xiao crossed his hands and nodded. This was the first time he agreed with Xu Sheng's words.

In this case, as a prince, you should work hard to show yourself, instead of hiding in the deep palace and singing with male prostitutes every day.

This should not have been done by a prince, let alone a man who cleaned the yard so cleanly.

"That prince ......"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Sheng interrupted Li Xiao's words: "Our family has said enough today, don't ask again, talk about the royal family, but it is a serious crime, and the benefits and disadvantages should be considered by the son." ”

"Father-in-law Xu said that it was reasonable, but Li Xiao owed consideration." Li Xiao arched his hand.

Curiosity came, and I didn't grasp the size for a while, and I almost caused a big disaster. No matter how down-and-out the prince is, it's not something they can talk about, don't be listened to by the time, and put on the name of talking about the royal family privately, then the gains outweigh the losses.

Glancing back at the empty courtyard, Li Xiao smiled and turned to follow Xu Sheng.

And at the moment when Li Xiao turned around, the door of the courtyard opened quietly, and it didn't take long for a man to come out of it, dressed in cloth, with a slender figure, holding a folding fan in his hand.

There is no excessive color on the mask, blue and white, and the cyan lines are accompanied by the white layout to outline a picture of vicissitudes, Rao is so, and it also makes people look very elegant.

The masked man stood in place, looking at the two people in the distance, and did not move for a long time, until a call came from the courtyard, and the man turned back to the courtyard.

"Brother Qing, it's time for lunch."

As for everything that happened in the yard, Li Xiao didn't know. At this time, he was standing in front of a splendid palace, looking at the sign engraved with "Fengyang Palace" on the palace, bored and in a daze.
