The night was already dark, and the emperor was still sitting there with great interest, listening to the four princes talking endlessly about the scenery of the Lu Mansion tonight. The three princes standing on the side listened with a smile, although he regretted that he couldn't go over to have a good time, but he was not as active as the three princes, so there was no envy, jealousy and hatred.

But what he didn't expect was that after the third prince finished speaking, he rushed to him and grabbed his hand and said, "Third brother of the prince, the Lu family invited a chef who had lost the imperial chef selection competition tonight to take charge, and also invited the person surnamed Song to make desserts!" That dessert was delicious, I went to the back kitchen to find the surname Song, and he promised to make it for you in the future......"

"Ahem!" The emperor finally couldn't help coughing heavily, and when he saw that the fourth prince immediately shut up and stood up in an orderly manner, he reprimanded with a straight face, "Don't take a bite of a surname Song, Hailing is also your cousin, and he will be your brother-in-law in the future, how can you treat people as cooks?" ”

"But he's a chef who loves desserts...... the fourth prince whispered in his heart, but his mouth was resigned. Because he knew very well that if he said what was in his heart, the third brother next to him would definitely scold him severely!

Since he was slapped that day, he keenly felt that the third prince was more concerned about him, but he was also stricter, and he couldn't tell whether he was becoming more and more like a prince or an older brother!

The father and son gossiped for a while, and seeing that the hour was not early, the emperor thought that the two sons would have to get up before dawn to study, so he had to order someone to take them down to settle down. Since the third prince studied in Ciqing Palace, he set up the residence of the two brothers in the Zhaoren Palace, the middle of the bright room is used for living, and the east and west warm pavilion is used for the bedroom, the three princes live in the east, and the four princes live in the west.

And what made him helpless and relieved was that because they moved together, the four princes always shouted that it was too dark to sleep alone, and most of the time, the brothers slept in the East Warm Pavilion of Zhaoren Palace.

But just as the two elderly female officials came up and planned to take the brothers down, Chen Yongshou, the new manager of the Qianqing Palace, hurriedly reported outside that there was an urgent matter. Seeing that people came in and whispered to their father, the fourth prince instinctively grabbed his brother, hoping not to leave for the time being, and pricked up his ears to listen to the movement, but he undoubtedly took another lesson from the third prince.

"Fourth brother, my father must have important state affairs, let's not disturb him!"

But the fourth prince reluctantly followed the third prince to the door, and he heard the emperor laugh: "Hehe, there is no important state matter, but there is a strange family matter!" Saburo, Shiro, don't go, stay! Chen Yongshou, you go and bring everyone here. ”

The fourth prince was already full of curiosity, and when his father said this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly dragged the third prince back to the emperor. It's just that although his eyes were rolling, he couldn't help but ask rashly.

The third prince knew that the fourth brother's patience skills were only a little, so he had no intention of testing his patience, so he immediately asked first: "Father, is there something going on in the palace?" The two concubines take care of the palace affairs together, do you want to invite them to ......?"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the emperor's laughter: "It has nothing to do with the two concubines, it's not something they can manage." Li Shanggong, you go to the palace in person and call all the palm prints and pens and accompanying halls of the celebrant in the palace. ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother personally selected it, Li Shanggong, who was transferred to the deacon of the Qianqing Palace, solemnly agreed, and left in a hurry after giving a salute, not to mention that the third prince had a few guesses in his heart, and even the fourth prince couldn't help but be taken aback. The brothers looked at each other, and they all turned into statues of eyes, noses, noses, and hearts.

Of course, they are not naughty children who grew up in the Qianqing Palace, even if they are like the four princes, they will never make a fuss when the emperor deals with state affairs, as for the celebrant supervisor...... The celebrant said that it was a family matter, but in fact, it can also be classified as a state affair!

However, compared to the eunuchs who were the celebrants, it was Zhang Shou, Zhu Ying, and Zhang Chen who arrived first, and Hua Qi and Ah Liu, who were behind, joined forces to frame a person. Seeing this scene, the third prince was only surprised, but the fourth prince couldn't help it at all, and blurted out: "Teacher, Sister Yingying, you are ......"

Zhang Shou smiled slightly and did not take the lead in speaking. And Zhang Chen didn't have time to speak at all, Zhu Ying had already rushed to tell the cause and effect of the matter, of course, Zhang Chen and the fourth prince's plan, people completely ignored it, only said that Zhang Chen was confused for a while and Zhang Shou argued, so he found a secluded place to drink, and was almost calculated.

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, Zhang Shou calmly saluted and said: "It happened suddenly, Hua Qiye and Ah Liu brought people back to the Lu Mansion for interrogation......

"Your Majesty, they arrested the royal servants without authorization, abused lynching to extract confessions, please ask the emperor to be the villain's master!"

The imperial attendant who was firmly restrained by Hua Qi and Ah Liu, as if he was a dead dog, suddenly yelled, which not only interrupted Zhang Shou's words, but also made everyone in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace change their colors together. While others are still just sluggish or contemplative or angry, someone has already taken decisive action, and that is......

There is no doubt that the four princes with the most action took the lead, and when they rushed forward, they slapped each other in the face. Zhu Ying just said the three words hypnotism, although he didn't really understand what it was for, but it didn't sound like a good way, Zhang Chen was lucky and didn't get hit, if he followed Zhang Chen's words to be a bait, wouldn't it be him who was unlucky?

The four princes, who were full of fear, slapped him, and he was still angry, so he simply raised his foot and kicked the royal attendant fiercely. But he had barely kicked him twice when he felt two hands pass under his armpits, and then he grabbed him by the shoulders and dragged him back. Just stunned slightly, he realized who it was, and immediately struggled hard.

"Third brother of the prince, let me go and let me kill this dog who shouted to catch the thief!"

"In front of my father, how can you be presumptuous! Whether you live or die, you should listen to your father! "The third prince is only half a year older than the fourth prince, and his strength is almost the same, so of course he is barely dragging people back at this time.

Seeing that the fourth prince was still indignant, he said sternly: "Fourth brother, if you continue to mess around like this, I will tell my father and the emperor, and drive you out to Zhaoren Hall to think about it behind closed doors!" ”

After thinking about the four princes behind closed doors, he was not afraid, but he couldn't see the follow-up of the next one, and he couldn't bear it. Therefore, he could only let the third prince drag him aside sullenly, seeing that the emperor glanced over with a smile, he was bowing his head and sulking, but he didn't expect that after the third prince let go of his hand, he actually walked in front of the beaten imperial attendant.

"You just said that someone arrested you, a close servant, without permission, and then abused lynching to extract a confession?"

The third prince was no more than four feet tall, and he was not wearing any gorgeous robes at this time, but of course the imperial attendant knew that the other party was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had just been canonized, and he was also a student of Zhang Shou. Just now, the actions of the fourth prince have already told him what it means to be inseparable, but life and death are in front of him, even if it is only a one in a thousand possibilities, he has to gamble.

Therefore, while Zhang Shou did not open his mouth to plead, he hurriedly said loudly: "That's right, the villain is just ordered to protect the four princes, because I saw that the eldest prince of Qin was drinking alone, and I didn't see anyone else in the whole courtyard, I was worried that something would happen, so I went over to take a look, who knew that he was drunk and crazy......"

"It's ridiculous, when have I ever gone drunk!"

Zhang Chen's stomach was about to explode, and he couldn't wait to rush up and beat people like the four princes just now. Fortunately, Zhang Shou's eyes were quick and he pressed the person's shoulder early, which stopped this noble disciple who was no less impulsive than the fourth prince.

Seeing Zhang Shou stopping Zhang Chen, Zhu Ying sneered: "No wonder the four princes are furious, you dog thing will really turn right and wrong upside down!" Do you think that no one heard it when you used hypnotism to bewitch Zhang Chen? Uncle Hua and Ah Liu, as well as me, saw you sneakily playing a monkey show on that person, and heard your voice! ”

"Moreover, at that time, your pot of spiced wine hadn't had time to pour it into Zhang Chen, so we also brought the evidence!"

"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse! You are a family, of course, you can say whatever you want, and what hell the evidence is not that cannot be faked, as long as you put some medicine in that pot of wine, you can plant it on my head! ”

Although he could sense the murderous aura around him and knew that his life was in the hands of the two people next to him, the imperial attendant had already let it go, and at this time he seemed to be extremely sad and angry: "The emperor Mingjian, His Royal Highness the prince Mingjian, what the villain said is true!" If the villain didn't confess before, he would be tortured by the Zhao Guogong Mansion and suffocated to death! ”

The emperor smiled at the corner of his mouth, and without saying a word, the fourth prince was so angry that his shoulders trembled slightly, but he had just been reprimanded by the third prince, and he didn't dare to act rashly at this time, so he could only stare at his brother's back with expectant eyes.

The third prince had a solemn face, his lips pursed, and after waiting for someone to finish speaking, he looked at Hua Qi and asked word by word: "Hua Qiye, is what he said serious?" ”

Hua Qi smiled and nodded very happily: "Don't you dare to be His Royal Highness the Prince, just call me Hua Qi." He's right. I confess that lynching was indeed used. At that time, it was in the Lu family, and it was Lu Sanlang's happy day, and if he was tortured to see blood, it would inevitably ruin the joy of others, so I had to use this simplest method but not see blood. ”

Seeing that the imperial attendant was obviously relieved, he said lightly: "But who asked me to ask questions at the beginning, and as soon as this person opened his mouth, he put all the blame on the master of ceremonies, the seal of the master of ceremonies, and the father-in-law of Chu?" I suspect that he used chicken feathers as an arrow to fool me, and the apprentice's waist card was not an official tooth card, and I didn't know if it was true or false, so I had to be ruthlessly interrogated. ”

Zhang Chen, who was still held down by Zhang Shou, was frozen at the moment.

He didn't expect Zhang Shou not to defend, Zhu Ying didn't refute it, and Hua Qi generously admitted to the abuse of lynching, and he was dealing with a royal servant...... Even if it's an apprenticeship! He only felt that his vest was gradually sweating at this moment, and he really wanted to look up to see what the emperor's expression was, but he was attracted by the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"In other words, you are indeed the one who first beheaded and then tried without knowing his identity?" After getting Hua Qi's nod and reply, the third prince said lightly, "It's very inappropriate to do this reason, but since it hasn't caused him any damage, and this person is sneaky first, although there is a fault, but it is also a matter of urgency, and it can be forgiven." ”

I didn't expect the third prince to be so understated, the imperial attendant was simply stunned, and then subconsciously shouted: "Why is there no damage, the villain is almost dying......"

"Are you dead, then?" The third prince stared at the eager guy with cold eyes, and asked word by word, "Do you have any injuries to your limbs?" ”

Zhu Ying almost laughed out loud when she saw the third prince talking nonsense so seriously. And Zhang Shou also tasted the taste of sophistry, and suddenly couldn't help laughing. However, the biggest reaction was none other than the current emperor, because not only did he laugh directly, but he even laughed so much that he was pounding the handrail.

Hearing the emperor's laughter, the imperial attendant was slightly stunned, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and immediately shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is favoring them, the villain is really ......."

"Really? I really thought I would believe in your evil! The Emperor's laughter stopped abruptly, and after impatiently interrupting the other party, he stood up straight, "I can trust everyone here, except you!" You just said that you have already been posted once, and then almost died? Very good...... Hua Qi, you are here, give me a sticker, and see if he can escape with another life! ”

As soon as these words came out, after a moment of silence, Hua Qi immediately coughed dryly and said, "In this Qianqing Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince are also here, isn't it...... Not right? ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a big deal to kill someone. This palace was originally built on the wreckage of the palace in Yuan Dadu, and I don't know how many dry bones have been buried, and I don't care about dying again! The emperor smiled nonchalantly, then glanced at the stunned fourth prince and the third prince who was forced to calm down, and spit out a sentence lightly.

"As for Saburo and Shiro, it's time for them to see blood."

"That's a good idea." Hua Qi smiled, let go of his hand and let Ah Liu hold the royal attendant alone, but he rolled up his sleeves directly, "This kid has only survived three layers of paper before and is about to pee his pants, I will strive to be nimble in my hands and feet for a while, so I can stick five or six layers, otherwise I will be blind to the craft I learned back then!" Someone, prepare paper for me, ask for that kind of yellow paper! ”

The emperor and Hua Qi took a gear, and the others were silent, and the imperial attendant saw that Hua Qi was really shouting unscrupulously in this Qianqing Palace, and his last trace of luck finally disappeared. Almost subconsciously, he shouted with a crying voice: "The one who instructed the villain to spy on Lu Mansion is the master of ceremonies, the palm seal of the Chu father-in-law, and the villain did not say the slightest lie!" ”
