In the darkness of the night, an ordinary carriage stopped in front of the mansion. Shao Gongman turned out of the shadows and walked to the carriage.

He whispered a few words to the man in the carriage, and he couldn't make out what was said, and then the curtain was raised, and a man in fancy clothes stepped down from it.

This man is in his twenties, tall and thin. Under the guidance of the two who rushed out of the door to pick up the lamp and follow, they quickly climbed the steps and entered the house.

Shao Gongman's vigilant eyes glanced around, and saw that there was no one around, so he then entered the mansion, closed the door of the mansion reflexively, and followed the footsteps of the young man and ran to the back hall.

The two lanterns at the door sway slightly with the wind, and the horizontal plaque above the door of the house is written with four big characters "Huainan Wangfu".

It turned out that this was the mansion of Liu An, the king of Huainan, in Chang'an. Although the children of the Liu family of the Han family will be divided into kings when they become adults, they will each go to their own fiefdoms. But in the imperial capital of Chang'an City, there are still their own mansions.

These large and small palaces are located on a street in Shangde Gate, so Chang'an people call this street "Wangfu Street".

Although the owners of these palaces often come back once a year, the scale of the palace cannot be ambiguous.

The young man who entered the Huainan Mansion just now was the eldest son of the King of Huainan, the little prince Liu Jian.

Liu Jian secretly went to the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion tonight in civilian clothes and in a light car.

To be exact, he went to find out the news. That night, when he waited until dawn, he didn't see the two people sent out to come back to restore his life, and he already felt that it was not good.

Over the years, the Huainan Royal Mansion has secretly befriended the courtiers, and it is naturally easy to find out the news. That Shao Gongman went out of the house, and soon came back after hearing the results, and both of the Feng Da Xuan Lingzi sent were dead.

It is said that all of them died, but no one knows exactly what happened or what happened.

This result surprised Liu Jian, Feng Da and Xuan Lingzi were masters of Huainan Wangfu's collection from the rivers and lakes, and their skills were superior even among those Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragons.

That's why my father chose to send the three of them to Chang'an with him this time. I didn't expect the two to die like this!

Liu Jian was surprised by the other party's strength, but he was a little worried. Now that the assassination operation has failed, will the character he participated in it be detected?

If there are traces of the participation of the vassal king in the Weiyang Palace, then ...... The consequences are unimaginable!

Therefore, in the past two days, he has been sitting on pins and needles while waiting for the news from the Marquis of Wu'an, and his mind is restless. But I don't know if Tian Jue forgot or deliberated, and he didn't come to inform him of the follow-up.

He had secretly scolded the old immortal many times. Tonight, I finally couldn't hold back my anxiety, and under the secret protection of Shao Gongman, I quietly went to the Wu'an Hou Mansion.

After Wu Anhou's face-to-face teaching, his heart finally let go of most of it. When I returned to the house at this moment, my demeanor was obviously much more relaxed.

"Little prince, how is it tonight?" Shao Gongman looked at his face and asked.

"Alas! Feng Da Xuan Lingzi and the two were really killed. It's a pity that I came all the way to Chang'an, but I didn't expect to lose my life. Liu Jian said with a sad look on his face.

"My heart is uncomfortably tight......."

Seeing this, Shao Gongman hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "Little prince, don't be too sad, I think if people like me and others were not protected by the palace, they would have no idea where their heads were!" To die today is to die as you deserve. ”

Liu Jian was afraid that he would die and the fox would be sad, so he pretended to make a gesture. Hearing him say this, he quickly changed his expression, and Jia Mian comforted Shao Gongman.

"That'...... What does Master Hou think about this matter? Is there a way forward?" Shao Gongman asked tentatively.

"The old thief...... Hum! Sure enough, he is an old treacherous and cunning person. It turns out that whether this matter is successful or not, it is all in his budget! In the end, there will be something to gain from him. ”

"Oh?......"

"Forget it, you don't need to know these things first. Slowly we will understand, we just wait and see. ”

Shao Gongman saw that Liu Jian didn't want to talk to him in detail, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Don't look at this person's ordinary appearance and wooden face. In fact, the mind is very thoughtful. Regardless of scheming, martial arts are among the top three in the group of people gathered in the Huainan Palace.

Therefore, the king of Huainan was relieved to let him take those two people to protect Liu Jian and go north to Chang'an. Now that Feng Daxuan Lingzi is dead, he can't help but be more careful, afraid that something will go wrong with the personal safety of this little prince.

Since Liu Jian said that there was no need to worry about that matter, he didn't think about it anymore. At the moment, I was secretly thinking in my heart, it was good to protect the little prince in peace during this period of time in Chang'an, and this matter should not be slack.

After sending Liu Jian away, Wu'an Hou Tianjun did not rest, because there was a more important person waiting to see him.

In a secret room in the back garden, a man with a fat face and dressed as a housekeeper stood up with a smile after saluting Tian Jue.

"Master Hou has been looking good lately! Looks like something good is coming, right? ”

"Haha! Thanks to the good words of the Ping housekeeper, for the old man. There will indeed be a happy event next month, hahaha. ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. "The fat man, who is known as the flat butler, is interested.

"The old man recently recruited a new Ninth Lady, but she was born with a bit of color, and she was well-behaved in serving the old man, so she was deeply liked by the old man." Tian Jue's face showed a look of pride.

"Congratulations! Hou Ye's person who got this wishful thinking is indeed a joy. Butler Ping smiled and said casually.

"Yes, so the old man promised to come down and hold a ceremony for him to get started in a few days, and invite a few colleagues and friends to come over and drink a few glasses of water and wine, which can be regarded as hurting her, haha."

"When the time comes, Ping will definitely come to beg for a glass of wine, and I hope that the Hou Ye will not dislike it!"

"Where, where! Steward Ping has worked hard in the eldest princess's mansion for many years, so he is naturally worthy of this thin wine. Tian Jue looked very affectionate in his tone to the chubby housekeeper.

"It's just that you have to be busy for a while, this month the court has been going on a lot of events, but I don't have time to take care of these family matters."

The flat housekeeper smiled and even claimed that it was.

The two of them gossiped, Tian Jue waved his hand and retreated, his face fell silent.

"The old man is ashamed! This time the matter was not well planned, and the success was a failure, and it failed the eldest princess and the palace...... of entrustment. Alas! He stopped at the last name.

"Master Hou, don't blame yourself!" Butler Naping said with a smile on his face.

"Before coming, the eldest princess specially instructed to bring a message to the Hou Ye, don't be in a hurry, everything will be discussed in the long run."

"Besides, as long as His Majesty the Emperor has not made that child the crown prince, there will still be opportunities in the future. Master Hou, these are the original words of the eldest princess. ”

Hearing him say this, Tian Jue nodded with his hand twisted his beard.

"Yes! This matter is urgent, and we must find another good opportunity. ”

Butler Naping thought about it, but then approached Tian Jue's side and said, "Master Hou, there are some things that the eldest princess is always inconvenient to say, but our subordinates are in a hurry when they see it."

"Oh?" Tian Jue made a gesture of listening carefully.

Don't look at the identity of this Ping housekeeper as just a housekeeper, but in Tian Jue's eyes, what he said couldn't be ignored at all.

Because behind him is the eldest princess's mansion! That place that no nobleman would dare to offend!

And the chubby butler in front of him is definitely the confidant of the eldest princess, and what he says often represents the attitude of the eldest princess.

Butler Ping coughed lightly, his expression becoming a little serious.

"I think the eldest princess of my family is the only daughter of the old empress dowager Dou of Changle Palace, the sibling sister of the first emperor, and the aunt of today's son. What a privilege it is!"

And this is indeed the case, Tian Jue also arched his hand to show respect.

What's more, the queen and the emperor have grown up with the eldest princess since they were childhood sweethearts, and they have deep affection. As the daughter of the eldest princess, the queen will give birth to the heir in the future is the purest bloodline of my Han Dynasty! ”

Speaking of this, Butler Naping's fat round face turned slightly red, and his expression became very excited.

Tian Jue remained silent, just nodded his head and listened to him quietly.

"But in the past few years, the lowly Mrs. Wei has relied on her beauty and singing and dancing skills to confuse the Son of Heaven! As a result, the Queen's Grace was reduced...... These are all caused by that Wei Zifu!"

When Tian Jue heard this, he nodded again and said, "Yes!" Mrs. Wei was born in Kabuki, and she was able to achieve the holy favor in just a few years, so she must have some means. ”

"What Master Hou said is extremely true!" Butler Ping took a slight meal.

"The inside story of the palace, the queen naturally never talked about it when she returned to the eldest princess's mansion. These are all our guesses. But seeing her sullen expression, those of us who grew up watching her grow up ...... I can't even say how uncomfortable I feel! ”

There was a hint of choking in Steward Ping's voice.

"Therefore, in some things, I still have to rely on Hou Ye to continue to support a lot! If there is a day in the future...... Whether it is the eldest princess's mansion or Empress Chen, they will always remember the kindness of the Hou Ye. ”

After speaking, he turned to Tian Jue and bowed down.

Wu'an Hou Tianjun hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it, and even said in his mouth that he didn't dare to accept this great gift, and he should serve loyally!

He is keen on power and scheming, and he has been sophisticated for a long time, and he knows it very well in his heart. Don't look at it, it's just that this fat butler is saying these words with a sense of pleading, in fact, these are the meaning of the eldest princess herself. It's just through the mouths of the butlers.

And can he refuse? Don't look at him now as a captain of the Great Han Dynasty and a knighthood of Marquis Wu'an, but in front of the power of the eldest princess's mansion, he is still too far behind!

has already been on this ship, if you want to stop halfway, I am afraid that the "tenderness and sweetness" in front of you will soon become a "piercing steel knife"!

What's more, Tian Jue originally had a power-hungry monster in his heart, and in the past few years, his ambitions have expanded little by little with the improvement of his status.

"You can use my Tian Jue as a murderous knife...... Can't I use you as a ladder to heaven? The ancestors said, 'The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!' And what about the dragon chair in the middle of the Hanyuan Hall of Weiyang Palace? It's kind of a thing?!"

"Mess up! Just mess up! I'm not afraid to add a fire to the ......!"

The Great Han Lieutenant Wu An Hou Tian Jue thought to himself proudly.
