King Yan walked ahead, Zhu Gaoxu and the other three brothers and Yao Guangxiao followed, and the group walked into a living room in the courtyard. The weather was dry and hot, Yao Guangxiao read in Princess Xu's house for a long time, and someone happened to bring tea in, so everyone drank tea and rested for a while.

Zhu Gaoxu saw that there were no outsiders, and some words were brewing in his stomach for a while, so he spoke: "Father, there are a few words that my sons don't know whether to say or not. ”

"Say." Zhu Di looked over, the tiger eyes were still attentive, but they seemed to be full of anxiety, and they even had only one word to speak, and there was nothing superfluous.

Zhu Gaoxu owes his upper body, although he sits, he bows to the top and leans forward, "The son of the minister, Beiping commanded Zhang Xin, there is a possibility of wooing, why don't you ...... father"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Di directly interrupted him, "I've had a lot of things lately, and your mother is seriously ill." You don't have to worry about me, just don't make anything for me. Listen, don't just find some random people to talk nonsense everywhere, lest the world be chaotic! ”

Zhu Gaoxu was about to argue, he was still very careful in what he did, and if he could participate in the confidential plan, he would not leak it casually...... Unexpectedly, Yao Guangxiao glared at a pair of triangular eyes, and spoke first: "After all, the king of Gaoyang County is young, and he doesn't know how treacherous the officialdom is, and that Zhang Xinguan commands the envoy to a province, at this time, let's go and win him over, isn't there no three hundred taels of silver here?" ”

"Alright." King Yan raised his palm and frowned, and the people around him had to shut up. Zhu Gaoxu also forced the words to his lips and swallowed them forcibly, feeling that his stomach seemed to have risen a lot all of a sudden.

At this time, King Yan stood up from his chair: "Let's go." ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought that the eldest brother and the third brother had come early, and it was estimated that he had already seen his mother's concubine, but before he could do it, he said, "Erchen will go to see his mother again." ”

So the others followed King Yan out of Princess Xu's courtyard, and Zhu Gaoxu returned to the princess's room and went in to visit her condition.

There was a pungent smell of Chinese medicine in the room, and Zhu Gaoxu asked the maid next to him to lift the curtain a little, and saw that the princess did have a sick face. Fortunately, she was not in a coma, but she was weak even to speak, and she didn't say a whole sentence for a long time, which was really serious!

"Seeing Gao Xu...... is gradually sensible, and my mother is ...... Rest assured......" Princess Xu was so angry that she finally said another word.

Zhu Gaoxu comforted him with kind words, and then left, anyway, there was nothing to do here. At this time, there were only Zhu Gaoxu and Chi Yue beside the bed, Princess Xu didn't have much strength, and her voice was small, so she said, "Chi Yue sent him." ”

"Hmm." Chi Yue Zhenren on the side responded.

In order to hear Princess Xu speak clearly, Zhu Gaochu and Chi Yue were close to her bedside, and Zhu Gaochu finally had a chance to see Chi Yue's face nearby, although the face was covered with a veil, but the forehead and eyes could be seen.

Chi Yue gave birth to a pair of apricot eyes, but the corners of the eyes on both sides were slightly raised, so there was a natural charm. It's a pity that there is no trace of emotion in her eyes, her expression is cold and slightly gloomy, as if she has encountered something bitter and hateful.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that her plain dress was an illusion, if this woman was not dressed in a Taoist robe, she would have no Taoist temperament.

When the two of them got out of the room, Chi Yue stood aside, and glanced at Zhu Gaoxu with a strange look. Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to go to the front.

This subtle move made Zhu Gaoxu a little confused: Could it be that this female Taoist priest has eyes behind her back and knows that I watched her waist and ass last time in the back, so she won't give me a chance this time?

Chi Yue didn't say anything along the way, let alone show any signs of speaking, Zhu Gaoxu was depressed in his heart, and he was not interested in flirting. So it was another silent and awkward road.

Fortunately, it will soon reach the moon cave door, and Chi Yue will only be delivered there.

Zhu Gaoxu stood still, turned around, and wanted to say a nonsense like not sending it. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sound of talking outside the wall came from the viewing window on the wall.

An unfamiliar voice said: "That King Gaoyang is really funny, if even he can give advice in front of the prince, what else do we need to do?" ”

Then came Yao Guangxiao's earnest voice: "He is still young, who is not frivolous when he is a teenager?" This kind of child, as soon as he has some ideas, will inevitably be self-righteous, thinking that except for his own cleverness, everyone else is a marionette with no brains. Don't bother with him. ”

The person who spoke just now laughed: "Yes! Look at his outfit today, coming to visit the sick, in his own house, still dressed like that, I don't know what big things he thinks he is doing, how many people he is going to meet! Even the soap boots were put on, and it was not too hot. I'm laughing to death! ”

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he looked down at what he was wearing, and said in his heart: Before I came, I didn't know that my mother was seriously ill, and I originally wanted to meet my father in the front hall of King Yan's mansion.

He looked sideways slightly, and saw that Chi Yue was also looking at him, and there was a smile in his eyes...... It's just a mocking laugh.

Zhu Gaoxu's face turned red, his mouth opened, and finally he didn't explain anything.

The louder the voice of the man outside, he was already approaching this side, only a wall away. The man said: "But what King Gao Yang said, is it reasonable?" ”

Yao Guangxiao's voice immediately said: "He just patted his head, what do you know?" Does he know how deep the water in the imperial court and Beiping is? In this current situation, if the person he said can be co-opted, I will go to the release pond of Qingshou Temple and turn into a turtle! ”

The man laughed and said, "You don't have to be angry, extinguish the fire." It's just that the king of Gaoyang is not sensible, and he wants to be more and more ruined as soon as he comes. ”

Zhu Gaoxu was also very angry, and the more he listened, the more angry he became, and the green tendons on his forehead came out. When I looked at Chi Yue next to me again, I saw that she only had a cold face and no expression. But at this time, Zhu Gaoxu felt that there was disdain in her indifference!

At this moment, the people around Yao Guangxiao glanced at the door of the cave, and suddenly found Zhu Gaoxu, stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bent down and said, "Is the king of Gaoyang still in the mansion?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu turned around and looked at Yao Guangxiao. Zhu Gaoxu blushed and was angry, and stood there silently. And Monk Yao is so thick-skinned that he still doesn't change his face at this moment! Monk Yao made a one-handed salute very calmly, which was regarded as a greeting, and turned around and left.

Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath, stabilized his mentality, and said, "Chi Yue real people don't send it." He thought that Chi Yue would turn a deaf ear to what had just happened.

Unexpectedly, Chi Yue said in a rare way: "The king of Gaoyang County has an idea to win over someone?" ”

"That's it." Zhu Gaoxu looked at her with a slight surprise. If it weren't for the impression that Chi Yue had always given him was a little quiet and indifferent to everything, he wouldn't feel a little weird.

Chi Yue nodded slightly, and her expression returned to indifference, "Poor Dao is gone." ”

Zhu Gaoxu came out of the Yanwang Mansion and saw his entourage waiting outside, so he beckoned them to lead the horses over, turned over on the horses, kicked the horses away without saying a word, and prepared to go straight home. Perhaps the entourage didn't dare to say a word more because they saw that his face was not good.

Throughout the afternoon, Zhu Gaoxu changed his clothes and ran back and forth, almost nothing, and his heart was naturally very depressed.

When he got home, he first took off the dragon robe, black gauze hat, and soap boots on his body, and threw them directly into the middle of the bedroom, making a mess. Then he changed into thin clothes, put on clogs and went to the study.

The more Zhu Gaoxu thought about it, the more he felt that there was nothing wrong with him! He even found what Wang Gui had written and reread it three times again!

He said in his heart: It's just Yao Guangxiao's words, why should I doubt myself?

In the eyes of others, he is indeed only sixteen or seventeen years old, too young and inexperienced to think about things. But he himself knows that the current Zhu Gaoxu is not at all a teenager's thinking.

"Wang Gui! Wang Gui! Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and shouted at the roof.

After a while, the person who came was Aunt Wang, and Aunt Wang said: "The prince is angry, Wang Gui is not in the back hall, and the slave and maid will call him immediately." ”

"Okay." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Wang Gui ran and rushed into the study, panting while bending over and saying, "Lord Wang, what did the slave do wrong?" ”

"No, I just called you over." Zhu Gaoxu has regained his composure.

"Yes, yes. What does the prince command? Wang Guidao.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at him unhurriedly, and praised him first: "What you wrote is very good, I should reward you." Go to the treasury and take fifty pieces of treasure money, and write my intentions in the account. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Wang Gui knelt on the ground, "The money bag that the prince gave to the slave and maid on the road last time, and the slave and maid have already been put into the warehouse if they are not spent." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "You are indeed loyal. Take the money, too. ”

He paused for a moment, and then whispered: "Wang Gui, there is a commander named Zhang Xin in what you wrote. You haven't been doing anything else lately, go and squat near his house and check it out a little more. ”

Zhu Gaoxu felt that if this matter was handed over to Professor Hou, it would definitely be more appropriate, after all, Professor Hou could even find out about other people's family affairs, relatives and friends. But Zhu Gaoxu thought of what King Yan said, "Talking nonsense everywhere for fear that the world will not be chaotic", what King Yan had already warned about, for fear that the news would reach King Yan's ears, in that case, he would not be able to finish eating and walk away.

Compared with Professor Hou, Wang Gui is obviously much more reliable.

Wang Gui said: "The slave and maid obey the order, and the slave and maid can ask their godson for help in this matter." ”

Zhu Gaoxu immediately said: "You go in person, don't put secrecy first!" ”

Wang Gui said: "The slave and maid will naturally do it by themselves what the prince explains, but the slave and maid also have to doze off, so they have to find a helper to change the squat." The slave's godson is very reliable and will never say a word. Don't worry, the slave and maid will discipline well. ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said, "It's okay, remember my advice." ”

Wang Guibai said: "The slave and maid have written it down." ”

Zhu Gaoxu sent Wang Gui away, and walked around the study. This study room actually stored a lot of books, I remember that Taizu didn't like Zhu Gaoxu back then, because he liked to run around and cause trouble when he was studying; However, Zhu Gaoxu is not illiterate, and his good handwriting is proof of this, but he is interested in martial arts and is not so obsessed with poetry and books.
