Chapter XXVI: Punishment
Jiang Diexi tried to suppress his trembling heart.
He actually wanted to see how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would deal with this matter - he had taken over the Shadow Guard for less than a year, and there had been mistakes before, but it didn't alarm His Royal Highness the Prince, and for those who made mistakes, the punishment was raised high and gently put down.
Because we are all colleagues, we can see each other in the future.
His Royal Highness the Prince's cheeks were bruised and swollen, but his face was indifferent, and his black eyes were not shocked, but they seemed to be full of light at a glance.
Quiet for a moment, the prince didn't ask, and he didn't dare to say.
The palace people brought tea, and he took a symbolic sip of it, and he was silent.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drank tea by himself for a while, and finally spoke: "Jiang Qing has any difficulties, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Jiang Diexi took off his helmet, held it on his chest, and knelt down solemnly: "The crime deserves death!" ”
An uncomfortable expression flashed on the prince's face: "What is Jiang Qing's crime?" ”
"The shadow guard was derelict in his duties, and the assassin entered the dormitory of the East Palace and injured His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"
"Oh, you say this?" The prince raised his hand and touched his face, and smiled faintly; "It's okay, a small injury!"
Jiang Diexi was a little confused, since the prince said "it's okay", did he plan to turn a blind eye and let this matter be fooled.
However, in this case, why did you instigate the three big men to do the trick in the first place?
I have long heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is uncertain and changes his orders - he still doesn't believe it, but now it seems that it is true.
Jiang Diexi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a hanging heart fell into his stomach.
It doesn't matter if you stay the same, you don't fight, you don't change, you don't have to worry...... There is also no chance to show strength......
It's a pity that he shouldn't have fantasized about the notorious Crown Prince!
But it doesn't matter, in such a court, there is no opportunity for honest people, and after a few years, I have to rely on Uncle Lang Zhongling to transfer a place for me.
Thinking of having to snort on someone's side, Jiang Diexi sighed-
This gentle sigh attracted the attention of the crown prince.
"Why is Jiang Qing sighing?"
Jiang Diexi pursed his lips and said, "The minister thanked His Highness for not killing the Shadow Guard!" ”
"You get up first!"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince put down the teacup and waited patiently for him to stand up before he said: "Jiang Qing is bad-even if this king doesn't kill them, can military law and national law spare them?" ”
Jiang Diexi was stunned, thinking that he had heard something.
After a long time, he asked slowly: "......What does Your Highness mean?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes flashed with coldness, and he reproached: "Qing is also a soldier, and he should understand the principle that military law is great—why do you still want to ask the meaning of this king?" ”
Jiang Diexi glanced at it for a moment, and his heart was like a spark ignited, and he was sweeping through the reckless wasteland with the momentum of a prairie fire......
He had to say something heart-wrenching: "But Your Highness, those two people, one is a distant relative of the imperial historian Meng Tingguang, and the other is the cousin of Princess Zhongshan......"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes were like torches, and he glanced at him sternly: "Imperial Doctor and Princess Zhongshan have distant relatives like this, it's really embarrassing for them!" ”
Then, he said softly: "The righteous destruction of relatives should be rewarded - when you go to see the imperial historian in a while, you will pass on a word for this king, saying that the prince admires his righteous behavior of killing relatives and serving the country wholeheartedly, and has reported this matter to His Majesty and regarded it as a model for a hundred officials!" ”
Jiang Diexi was happy for less than three seconds, and reminded: "What about Princess Zhongshan?" ”
King Zhongshan is the quasi-father-in-law of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Because of her refusal to marry her daughter, the scandal has been widely circulated to this day, and Princess Zhongshan is quite serious about her cousin, so I am afraid that she will not give up easily.
It's easy to kill someone, but it's hard to deal with the aftermath.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince frowned and said coldly: "Don't worry about Princess Zhongshan!" ”
This time, Jiang Diexi was relieved, he immediately said goodbye to the prince and went to the imperial doctor to report first......
Bo Lingjun returned to the dormitory, hesitated under the eaves of the corridor for a while, and called softly: "Chu Feng, Qingye? ”
The corrugated roof sounded, and two figures fell in front of him with agility - it was Qingye and Chu Feng.
He beckoned them into the dormitory and asked, "How many skills do you two rank among the shadow guards?" ”
The two teenagers pursed their lips cautiously and said nothing.
His Highness looked at them with heavy eyes, and waited patiently.
After a long time, Qing Ye spoke, and his voice was very low: "Your Highness, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Shadow Guard, our ability is not the largest, and we can barely rank in the top ten." ”
The prince asked, "Bodyguards of ordinary nobles - how many can you deal with by one person?" ”
The two teenagers hesitated for a long time before replying, "About twenty-five or sixteen!" ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded: "Enough!" This king will give you another thousand princes to guard, you go now, all the way to Zhongshan Wangfu, all the way to the palace of the imperial historian Meng Tingguang, just guard outside, do you know who to block? ”
The two teenagers understood in seconds, and Chu Feng said to the emperor: "Your Highness, we are soft-spoken, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch it if it's blocked!" ”
Qing Ye added: "It's okay for the Imperial Doctor, he is not close to that person in the first place—Princess Zhongshan is notoriously spicy, and she loves her cousin very much...... Every New Year's holiday, you have to call the palace for reunion, just like your godson! ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled and said, "A dignified eight-foot man, with hundreds of guards, is he afraid of a woman?" ”
Qingye and Chu Feng both blushed and didn't dare to say anything.
"Go with confidence—if she troubles you, she will say that the king taught you to go."
Speaking of this, Qing Ye and Chu Feng didn't dare to refuse, so they immediately took the prince tiger talisman and went to Zhonglang to transfer a thousand guards there.
He greeted his captain again, saying that he was recruited by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and could not perform the task for the time being.
When he returned to restore his life, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had just come out of the study with a thick book in his hand.
Seeing that the two of them were ready to go, they were very satisfied, and after a few words, they went to the dormitory.
The two respectfully looked at the back of His Royal Highness, but unexpectedly, as soon as they walked to the door, the prince suddenly remembered something, turned around, and looked excited; "Wait!"
After saying that, he trotted two steps back to the dormitory...... When he came out again, the crown prince had already changed into the battle robe and armor of his personal guard, and his two black eyes were shining with excitement.
"This king will go with you, don't reveal it!"
Qing Ye and Chu Feng barely managed to squeeze out a smile - more ugly than crying.
This master's perverse and weird mistake has been committed again.
How can it be so fun?
The dignified prince dressed up as a guard and went out to watch the excitement, which was incredible.
There are still thousands of gold guards in the East Palace to protect them, although they can't be airtight, but everyone has something behind them.
Now if you want to sneak out, take a thousand guards and two shadow guards with you—the burden on your shoulders is really not ordinarily heavy!
But people are soft-spoken, how dare they admonish His Royal Highness the Prince!
The two secretly summed it up: Forget it - let it out!
Since a top nobleman like His Royal Highness doesn't value his life, then what is there to be afraid of people like them.
For today's plan, the only way to do our best is to obey the destiny of heaven.
If one of His Highnesses accidentally goes wrong, then it's a big deal for them to be buried together!
The young man said he would do it, and first divide the 1,000 people into two, and the two of them would each have 500...... However, just in case, they still sandwiched His Highness in the middle, and set off with several layers of personal guards before setting off.
