Volume 4 The Envoy Chapter 21

The night soon returned to calm. Bei Juese stood in place and stared at the dark night outside the window for a while, then turned around and blew out the lights and went to sleep.

What Dong Wushu was worried about came at noon the next day.

As soon as the group of them had lunch, a middle-aged eunuch who looked very straightforward appeared. The middle-aged eunuch asked respectfully, "Is Prince Nanzhao here?" ”

Bei Juese hurriedly stood up and replied, "I am." ”

The middle-aged eunuch stepped forward and saluted him, and said with a smile on his face: "The servants have been ordered by the two queen mothers to invite Prince Nanzhao into the palace. ”

Bei Juese looked at his civilian clothes, and hurriedly said, "Trouble father-in-law to wait a minute, I will enter the palace with you as soon as I change my clothes." ”

He rushed into the room, and soon changed into the representative costume of Prince Nanmian, who was dressed in blue and red clothes with a high black crown, and walked out, and said to the middle-aged eunuch, "You can go." ”

Dong Wushu and Meng Qing were about to follow, but the middle-aged eunuch said, "Except for the prince, other Nanmian VIPs don't need to enter the palace. ”

Dong Wushu glanced at the eunuch and said, "We are the personal guards to protect the prince's safety, of course we have to walk with the prince!" ”

The middle-aged eunuch was embarrassed and said: "However, the two queen mothers explained that it was not very appropriate to summon Prince Nanzhao into the palace alone, and the others walked with him." The minions are only acting on orders, so please forgive the prince and the distinguished guests. ”

Bei Juese said: "In this case, the others will stay here, and I will enter the palace by myself." ”

Dong Wushu glanced at the eunuch and said to Bei Juese: "Come here, I have something to tell you." After saying that, he pulled Bei Juese into the room, closed the door, took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it to Bei Juese.

"What is this?" Kita took the vial suspiciously.

Dong Wushu lowered his voice and said, "This is the pill I asked for last night when I went to find Yi Xiaofei overnight." Entering the palace this time, I'm afraid it's not the Queen Mother who summons you, but the trick of that little kid. We can't follow you into the palace, Song Gongbao is no longer in the palace on errands, and now the only one who can walk around in the palace and outside is Yi Xiaofei. Dong Wushu looked around vigilantly, motioned to Bei Jue Se to put away the medicine bottle, and then whispered in his ear.

Bei Jue nodded as he listened. In the end, Dong Wushu straightened up, patted Bei Jue on the shoulder and said, "Anything can happen after entering the palace, you have to be smart and find a way to protect yourself." ”

"I will." He glanced at Dong Wushu and added, "Actually, I'm not as stupid as you think." ”

Dong Wushu glanced back at him with some disdain, and said lightly: "Yes, it's even more stupid than I imagined." ”

Listening to his words, this time Bei Juese was not angry, he just smiled and said, "I'm leaving" and turned around and pushed open the door and walked outside, following the middle-aged eunuch into the palace.

After the middle-aged eunuch brought Bei Juese into the palace, he did not take him to the dormitory of any queen mother, but took him around and around on some remote roads, and in the end, he was taken into a small forest.

Seeing that somewhat familiar grove, Bei Juese's heart couldn't help but be a little suspicious, until he saw the elegant two-story pavilion at the four corners, and the familiar figure standing by the pavilion, his heart suddenly became clear. Sure enough, as the senior brother said, the people who wanted to summon him were not the two queen mothers, but the Ming Emperor Zhu Yijun.

The middle-aged eunuch stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Nanzhao has arrived. ”

Bei Juese stepped forward and saluted respectfully as if nothing had happened: "Nanzhao greets the emperor!" ”

"No courtesy." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, and the middle-aged eunuch and Zhang Cheng, who was standing behind him, retreated with interest.

Zhu Yijun looked at Bei Jue up close, and couldn't help but be stunned. I have never seen anyone who can wear the flamboyant red so tastefully, the red is worn to the body of the person in front of him, it is not dazzling at all, but makes people feel that only red can match his beautiful face, in order to better set off his quiet and peaceful temperament. After a while, he didn't seem to have changed, but he seemed to be a little different from before. If you look closely, his skin is a little darker than before, and he has grown taller. He used to be about the same height as himself, but now he is a little taller than himself, and in addition, there should be some places where he is a little different from before. By the way, it's a little more mature and a little calm.

After Bei Juese stood up, ignoring Zhu Yijun's direct gaze, he lowered his head and pretended not to know and asked, "I don't know what happened when the emperor summoned his ministers into the palace?" ”

Zhu Yijun suppressed the urge to step forward and hug him tightly, and said in a calm tone: "It's nothing special, I just want to find someone to drink with me." He turned and walked up the pavilion, "Come up." ”

If it comes, it will be safe. Bei Juese followed Zhu Yijun's footsteps and climbed to the top floor of the small pavilion.

The soft collapse of the brocade quilt that had been placed in the pavilion was gone, replaced by a simple black square table and a few black round tables.

At the bottom of the table were several jars of wine, and on the table were several flasks and two wine glasses. There are no side dishes for drinking, except for wine, it is still wine.

Zhu Yijun picked up a wine jug and poured himself a full glass of wine, and poured another glass for Bei Juese. He raised his glass and drank it down, then looked up at Bei Jue Se and said, "After you left the palace, I sent people everywhere to look for you, but they found nothing. At that time, all the imperial doctors said that your illness was incurable and incurable, and I thought that you were no longer alive, and I never imagined that one day I would see you come back alive. ”

Bei Juese hung his head and said with a respectful attitude: "Thanks to the emperor's blessing, the minister has escaped and walked back from the ghost gate." ”

The clear alienated attitude of the people in front of him made Zhu Yijun's heart very unhappy, but thinking of his distrust and hurt him at that time, it was not easy to attack. He lowered his head and took the empty wine glass and played with it in his hand, saying, "Since you left the palace, I have ordered someone to thoroughly investigate the matter between you and the imperial sister. Later, it was finally found out that everything turned out to be made by Luo Guiren out of jealousy. She said that it was a mysterious masked man who gave her advice and instructed her to frame you, but no matter how much she pressed, she couldn't tell who the masked man was. However, it doesn't matter who the masked man is, the most important thing is to be able to return the innocence of you and the imperial sister. As for the noble Luo who harmed you, I have already sent her to the cold palace and let her get the punishment she deserves. ”

"Really?" Bei Juese replied lightly, did not look at Zhu Yijun, but looked up at the blue sky outside the pavilion and smiled softly. Jing'er, did you hear that? You and I are finally innocent.
