Chapter 171: Reality and Fiction (1)
"Lord Wang!" Mo Zi asked a bit of a thief's talent, and sneakily ran to the king of Nanyang, "Lord, in three days it will be the emperor's birthday banquet, shall we send things to the palace first?" ”
"Inquire about the news, send it in when there are the most people, you just go to Jinci Palace to ask about the situation."
"Yes. Ay? Rajah? If Princess Su'an said that Yu Cihe was sent by her, then wouldn't we be able to keep her, prince? ”
"That's nature. If Yu Tzu-hyuk's identity is confirmed on Su'an's side, it means that what they are going to do is harmless to us and important to them, not to mention that I have no right to ask about this kind of thing. Originally, it was already my fault to suspect them now, and if I didn't let them go, I would really become that stupid and incompetent person. ”
"Hey~" Mo Zi asked comfortingly, "Lord Wang, you can't say that, can you?" Then who would have thought that Princess Su'an would move so fast, and you would have planned so much when you were still in the palace, and you were also cautious. ”
"Yes," Nanyang Wang sighed, "No one thought that Su An had planned all this so early..."
———— ———— ————
At the gate of the city, there was a lot of people. The people may have not seen the streets so lively for a long time, and they all stood on the street and watched the cars and horses coming and going, and discussed one after another.
"Huh? What's going on? Why is it so lively all of a sudden? ”
"Huh? You don't even know that? In a few days, it will be the emperor's birthday, so naturally people from all walks of life will come to give birthday gifts! ”
"Oh, that's it!"
"I'll tell you, if you don't know about this kind of thing, it will reach the ears of these eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and you may be able to sue you. You don't need anyone from the palace, I'll just take you to prison. ”
"Is it that serious?"
"Isn't that right? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, you must be careful in everything you do. Which of those officials doesn't want to talk to the people in the palace, don't they just find some fault with the common people, and then hold on to it? ”
"Is this hat worn by a common man?"
"What? If you can't wear it, you have to wear it! ”
"Okay, okay, this person has a lot of mouths, you say so much and you're not afraid of being listened to by someone to chew the root of your tongue!"
"Yes, yes, don't say it, don't say it."
The conversation between these two people was listened to by Yu Cihe behind him, and Shang Ling sneaked out of a small alley on the side and stood next to Yu Cihe and gasped, "Why are you running so fast?" Do you know that there are so many people in this person, and I can't find you back if I get separated from you! ”
Yu Tzu Hyuk did not skimp on his language talent at all, and replied to Shang Ling mercilessly: "Is it because the idle days have passed for too long, and the body has become sluggish?" I remember that during the assessment, you helped me subdue a giant python, right? Why is it that going out now is like walking a few miles over the mountains? Could it be that he is really old? ”
"Who's old?!" As soon as Shang Ling heard someone say that he was old, he was immediately unconvinced, "Judging by your age, you are older than me!" ”
"I'm old, but I'm old, and I'm ambitious. However, there are still Lian Po old people who can still eat, what is my age? It's you, you're younger than me, but your heart is old, and your body is naturally old. Yu Cihe patted Shang Ling's shoulder and said, "Old man, if your legs and feet are inconvenient, go back and rest quickly." If there is any accident on the way, it will be counted as mine. ”
"Okay, okay, I won't joke with you." Shang Ling waved his hand and pushed down the hand that Yu Cihe put on his shoulder, "If you can be rebuked ten sentences in one sentence, I will bow down, okay?" Shang Ling shook his head and said, "Let's get down to business, there are still a few days before the emperor's birthday banquet, these are all birthday gifts, right?" ”
"Yes."
Shang Ling said enviously: "Tut-tut, this official in the court still has money and sends so many things." ”
"No, these are all tributes now, and the birthday gifts of the court will be sent to the palace from other channels."
"I saw the housekeeper going out of the Nanyang Mansion with a few carriages this morning, and he was also going to give birthday gifts, right? However, I also seem to have seen Mo Ziwen dodge and go out. ”
"Yes, but their purpose should be more than just a birthday gift."
"So what else? Could it be that it has something to do with Princess Su'an? ”
"I think they made a special trip to pick such a day, just to have more people and do something. The king of Nanyang arranged for Mo Ziwen to enter the palace to do things, and the only possibility was to go to Princess Su'an. ”
Shang Ling patted his head and said, "I know!" They suspect our identity and want to go to Princess Su'an to verify their identity, right? ”
Yu Tzu He paused and didn't answer immediately: "It doesn't matter, just let him find out, and it will save us the trouble later." ”
———— ———— ————
Mo Ziwen followed behind the housekeeper like a delivery man, and led the convoy to follow the old eunuch in the palace to the place where the things were placed. While regulating things, a dodge turned into a dead corner. He walked cautiously against the wall, and the old eunuch did not notice that there was no one missing from the team. Mo Ziwen walked secretly in the palace, thinking about how to avoid the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and entered the Jinci Palace, just in time for a small eunuch at the gate of the palace to be punished on his knees. Mo Ziwen tiptoed over, knocked him out while he was not paying attention, dragged him to the flowers next to him and changed his clothes, and put more grass to cover him a lot.
"I'm sorry, brother, I'll lend you clothes to wear. When I see Princess Su'an, in case you are punished, I ask Princess Su'an to protect you! I'm sorry brother, I'll go first, you lie down and rest for a while. After that, Mo Ziwen had a guilty heart, but he couldn't hide his excitement and swaggered towards Jinci Palace.
Princess Su'an was sitting in the pavilion reading a book, and Xiao Nai was standing next to her, seemingly a little nervous and a little scared.
"What? Do you think it's too risky to follow this princess? Princess Su'an's eyes did not leave the words in her hand.
"No, the slave is willing to serve the princess."
"What are you afraid of?"
"No, the slave is not afraid."
Princess Su'an put down the things in her hand, picked up the cup of tea in front of her and handed it to Xiao Nai, "Drink it." ”
Xiao Nai seemed to be a little hesitant, but he still took the tea, but he put it in his hand and didn't drink it for a long time.
"What? Afraid of toxicity? ”
"No, the slave is just... It was difficult to accept this favor for a while. ”
"When the tea is cooled, you really can't drink it."
Xiao Nai suddenly knelt down and said, "Slave, you have always been loyal to the princess. ”
Su An ignored Xiao Nai's words, just a simple word: "Drink." ”
Xiao Nai seemed to have made up her mind, and after struggling for a long time, she finally drank the tea in the cup. Then he trembled and put the teacup in his hand on the table.
Princess Su'an didn't say a word, reached out and poured another cup of tea, and brought it to Xiao Nai again.
Xiao Niang still took it, but she just hesitated for a moment and drank it immediately. Then Princess Su'an poured a third cup, and this time Xiao Nai took it without hesitation, as if she was determined to die. After drinking three cups, Princess Su'an poured another cup of tea, but this time it was not handed over to Xiao Nai, but placed opposite her.
"Sit down." Princess Su'an took another cup and poured herself a cup of tea. Xiao Nai seemed to be in a trance, kneeling on the ground and refusing to get up.
"It's hot, drink tea and go to the fire. In the pavilion, the ground is cold, and the fire can't be done, so I want to cook you a bowl of ginger again? When Xiao Nai heard this, he immediately got up from the ground and stood next to Princess Su'an.
"Stand and block the light, sit." Xiao Nai had no choice but to overstep her identity and sit opposite Princess Su'an.
"Slave... The slave and maid sit here and transgress their status. ”
"It's not that important if you don't have an identity, what's more, Xiao Nai has always been like this with this palace."
"Yes, slave remembers."
"In the future, just call yourself Xiao Nai, I'm tired of hearing the word slave."
"Yes, Xiao Nai knows."
A few eunuchs and palace maids walked in at the door, who went out in the morning to give birthday gifts. Princess Su'an raised her eyes and found that among the few people who went out in the morning, there seemed to be an extra one. While drinking tea, she paid attention to the palace maids and eunuchs. A little eunuch who was walking at the back suddenly broke away from the person in front of him and quietly moved towards Princess Su'an. Seeing that the rest of the people had walked away, he walked towards Princess Su'an in a bright light.
"Princess, everything has been delivered."
"yes, got it."
"Princess, the slave has one thing to tell you, it is about the way to give birthday gifts." Su An waved his hand, Xiao Nai got up and walked out of the pavilion, standing a little farther away and looking at the two people in the pavilion.
"Sit down." Princess Su'an took another cup and put it opposite her, and put Xiao Nai's cup aside, "Pour your own tea." ”
Mo Ziwen sat opposite Princess Su'an and said, "Princess, the prince wants to ask you something. ”
"Say it."
"The prince wants to ask if you know Yu Cihe?"
"How?" Su An's movements of drinking tea in his hand did not slow down, and everything seemed to be clear to him.
"A few days ago, two people came to the prince's mansion, one is called Yu Cihe and the other is Shang Ling. They told the prince about the assassination of them by Yulongtai, and asked the prince to find a way to send the news to the palace. The prince once suspected the identity of the two, so I came this time to pass on the news, and secondly, to ask the princess for verification. ”
"Yu Tzu Hyuk is indeed my person, you can tell your brother to reassure him when you go back. In addition, what is the assassination of Yulongtai? ”
According to Yu Tzu-hyuk, it seems that the killers were instructed by someone to take their lives. Among their group, Xuan Zhuyi was seriously injured, Ouyang Ruolin was blind, and now the group should have left the original place. ”
"Could it be that Xiao Yuhuan has already found Yulongtai?" Su An pressed his head with his hand, "It's been a terrible headache lately." ”
Mo Ziwen poured a cup of tea for Princess Su'an and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has won over Shen Fan, it is like divine help. The subordinates are afraid that the prince has little chance of winning. Princess, what can you do? ”
"Anyway, my brother has now won the hearts of the people, and Xiao Yuhuan will only ask for trouble if he continues to do evil until the end. The question now is not what will happen to the elder brother, but Yu Cihyuk's side. You go back and help me pass the word to Yu Cihe, I will pay attention to Xiao Yuhuan's every move in the palace, if the killer of Yulongtai is really sent by Xiao Yuhuan, I will find a chance to hold his handle. ”
"Yes, then the subordinate will retire first."
"Hmm." Mo Ziwen saluted, turned around and walked out of the gate of Jinci Palace. That night, Xiao Yuhuan received a message from a pigeon: someone had come to see Princess Su'an
"Humph! Su'an, Su'an~" Xiao Yuhuan hummed and threw the message into the fire, "I think you can fight with me for how long?" ”
