Chapter 333: King Ling escaped
() Qin Niang didn't ask him why, since she was forced to marry him, she knew that although Gu Chen was not an official, he always had some channels to know a lot of things, and he was able to deal with various major events in the court.
At this moment, there was no star in the moon, and there was silence outside, and she really wanted to snuggle together so quietly, never dawn.
"You have to be careful everywhere when you enter the palace tomorrow, if you really encounter danger, you can send someone to ask for help from the fourth princess with confidence." Gu Chen hugged her and said softly.
Qin Niang nodded, since she had already decided, then she would make good use of the other party to seek refuge.
"Okay, you can go quickly, it's not good to be discovered by the mother-in-law of the night for a while." Qin Niang began to push him.
Gu Chen hugged and didn't let go, his tone was full of reluctance, he had already thought about saying something to her before coming today, but when he really met, he just wanted to hold her like now, and never let go.
"Don't make a fuss, in a little while the night patrol will come." Qin Niang pushed him again.
"You and I are husband and wife, what if you come?" Gu Chen said stubbornly, "You and I have not separated. β
Qin Niang opened her mouth and didn't say a word for a long time.
What he said seemed to be true.
She is about to confuse herself these days, and in the days she lives in the palace, she is always vigilant, not to get too close to anyone, even the little chamberlain who is with her does not let her get close for half a minute.
In addition, she has always called herself a "courtier" these days, so that she almost forgot that she is no longer a girl who has not been out of the cabinet.
"I don't care, I'm going to stay here tonight, and tomorrow morning, then Song Huai will send someone here, and when the time comes, you and I will live separately inside and outside the palace wall, and it won't be easy for me to see you." Gu Chen said, took off his shoes directly and lay down.
Qin Niang rolled her eyes and said speechlessly: "Gu Gongzi, haven't you always loved cleanliness?" Can you fall asleep without a bath? β
Gu Chen hugged her, buried his face in her shoulder socket, sniffed the unique fragrance on her body, and said in a muffled voice: "As long as you are here, I can sleep." β
These days, she has entered the palace, God knows how broken he is, every night in the dead of night, I can't help but think in my head, how is she in the palace at the moment? Asleep? Did you miss him?
Originally, he thought that when he met, he must ask these heartfelt questions, but when he saw them, he felt that none of them mattered.
Qin Niang was hugged by him, and her heart was extremely stable, thinking, forget it, let's talk about it early tomorrow morning.
Early the next morning, Song Huai really sent someone to come, Gu Chen took advantage of the dawn, he had already jumped out of the window and left, when Qin Niang woke up, she found that there was no one next to her, and she was relieved and a little lost at the same time.
After Qin Niang cleaned up, she said goodbye to the elders of the Yang Mansion, and under the reluctance of Mrs. Yang, she was sent out of the Yimen.
Qin Niang got into the carriage, and those reluctant family feelings were instantly washed away by Song Huai's ugly face, she realized that Song Huai was in a bad mood, but she didn't know why.
"Your Highness is in a bad mood?" Qin Niang asked tentatively, and said in her heart, shouldn't she be disobedient to him and have to live in her mother's house, he is not happy to be like this, right?
But it's been a night, and he didn't show any displeasure when he sent her back to Yang's Mansion last night, why didn't he become unhappy after a night?
It doesn't make sense!
"Are you concerned about Hongu?" Song Huai teased his eyelids and looked at her and asked.
Qin Niang choked, she only cared about him if she was a ghost, she just wanted to know if his unhappiness had anything to do with her, lest the relatives she cared about would suffer from the pond fish again.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile, I am still your female official at present, if you are in a bad mood, who knows if you will be angry with me." Qin Niang is now in front of him, and she simply doesn't call herself a "courtier", anyway, the working relationship between the two of them is fake.
"You're really careful." Song Huai tugged at the corners of his lips and looked at her with gloomy eyes, "King Ling has fled." β
Qin Niang was shocked for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
She made up her mind and said, "Didn't you send so many escorts?" How could he escape? β
As soon as he mentioned this, Song Huai's face became even more gloomy: "It's because he sent so many people to return his way that he is angry." β
Moreover, the prisoners were robbed by the same group of people who robbed and killed Zhong Zhongliang outside the city gate before.
Last time, it was a murder, so after succeeding, the other party quickly scattered and fled, and it was understandable that he couldn't catch anyone, but this time it was a prisoner.
The difficulty of robbing prisoners is much more difficult than killing people, he sent so many people to escort them, and he also privately explained to the people under him that if someone robbed the prisoner, he would directly kill the king of Ling.
When the time came, he told the emperor that there were bandits who robbed and killed, and King Ling unfortunately did not survive in the melee.
In that way, it was not only as good as the emperor's wish, but also as his own, and at the same time, those old ministers had nothing to say, and they also blocked the mouths of the people, killing four birds with one stone.
However, who would have thought that such a difficult robbery would actually make people succeed.
"Then, does Your Highness know where King Ling fled?" Qin Niang asked.
"Hmph, where else can I escape, isn't King Ling's mother family from Xishu?" Song Huai snorted coldly and said mockingly, "He has been taking care of the matter of escorting Qian Zhongliang last time, presumably he wants to take the opportunity of sending him to the prisoner and return to his mother's clan to take advantage of the situation." β
This is also the reason why the emperor and the crown prince are afraid of the king of Ling.
King Ling can't stay, but he can't kill either, so he can only be exiled, and then sent someone to supervise it, and he can't leave the fief forever.
But now that the people have fled, the emperor must be very angry, and this matter is still supervised by the prince himself.
Therefore, after figuring this out, Qin Niang didn't say anything more, for fear that if she was careless, she would be regarded by Song Huai as the object of her anger.
After entering the palace, she learned that the king of Naling not only ran away, but also shouted before running: "Thank you nephew for raising your noble hand, rest assured, what I promised you, this king will not forget." β
You must know that among the soldiers and generals sent to escort King Ling into exile, in addition to the prince's manpower, there are also the emperor's people, and so many soldiers and generals have heard it, and it is too late for the prince to buy people's hearts and seal everyone's mouths.
As soon as the incident came out, someone quickly sent a message to the emperor, so at this time, not only Song Huai received the news, but the emperor naturally also received the news.
Therefore, as soon as he came to the court, the prince was called to the imperial study alone, and when he saw that there was no one around, the report on the emperor's table was directly thrown on Song Huai's head.
Song Huai naturally didn't dare to hide, but he lowered his eyes and covered the fierceness that flashed quickly under his eyes, that Ling King was really his nemesis, as long as he didn't die for a day, he would be forever
Far from his strongest opponent.
"It is said that King Ling and you are hostile on the surface, but in fact they are in a gang, you explain to me now, why did he say such a sentence before he fled?" The emperor was so angry that the green tendons on his head jumped suddenly.
Song Huai hung his head, not daring to make a mistake, with a low eyebrow and pleasing appearance: "Father and Emperor are angry, the whole capital knows that Uncle Ling and Erchen are life-and-death relationships, he poured a basin of dirty water on Erchen before he fled, and it is not impossible to deliberately separate the relationship between our father and son, my father knows that Uncle Ling Wang has always been deceitful, and he will lose his power all of a sudden, and it is inevitable that he will always have to get some money back." β
The emperor glared at him angrily, and he didn't know whether he believed or didn't believe his words.
Song Huai didn't dare to argue more, lest he would lose too much talk.
After a long while, a voice sounded, interrupting the confrontation between father and son: "Your Majesty, I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not be so stupid to collude with King Ling, after all, in the future, the rivers and mountains in the east will be His Royal Highness the Prince sooner or later, why would he bother to make such a show with King Ling?" β
Originally, there were only two people in the study, Song Huai and the emperor, and even the inner servants were sent out, but now Song Huai suddenly heard the voice of the third person, he was stunned for a moment, raised his head in surprise, looked at the familiar figure standing next to the emperor, and blurted out: "Why are you here?" β
Gu Chen replied expressionlessly: "It's strange for His Highness to ask this, the minister is here, naturally it is His Majesty's intention." β
At this moment, he was wearing the armor of the Great Internal Guard, and his left hand was naturally on the scabbard, and his heroic temperament was brought out at once.
Obviously, he was the emperor's close guard at the moment, so he could follow the emperor's side, Song Huai didn't notice him before entering the imperial study just now, because he didn't expect Gu Chen to enter the palace as an official.
And also a military attachΓ©.
Gu Chen has inherited the teachings of Gu Ge Lao since he was a child, and his talent is naturally not inferior to those talented people in the capital, if he wants to be an official, there are a lot of positions in those civil jobs for him to choose from.
But he became a military attachΓ©.
Song Huai squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Chen, the whole person had not yet recovered from the fact that Gu Chen suddenly entered the palace to be an official, but over there, the emperor carefully recalled what Gu Chen had just said, and said meaningfully: "Yes, this world will be the prince sooner or later." β
Song Huai suddenly woke up, and he looked at the emperor in surprise, just in time to meet the emperor's thoughtful eyes.
If he didn't know that the emperor was suspicious of him at this time, then he would have been the prince for so many years in vain, he threw Gu Chen's matter aside, and knelt down with a look of sincere fear at the emperor, and said: "My father has been in the emperor for thousands of years, and the saint has been with him for thousands of years, and his sons dare not trespass." β
After speaking, he slammed his head down, and then he kept prostrate on the ground, looking like the emperor didn't plan to get up without speaking.
The emperor is in the prime of life, although he set up the crown prince early, but no emperor wants to see the prince have any arrogant thoughts, and he wants to replace him as the emperor before he dies.
Gu Chen's words just now seemed to be talking for the prince, but in fact, it was a reminder to the emperor that the world will be the prince's sooner or later in the future, so now the prince can't wait.
