Chapter 17: Trouble

"It seems that the Eighth Prince really doesn't plan to come to the Vertical Arch Hall today......

In the vertical arch hall, the three ministers of Zhongshu waited until the afternoon and did not see the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun appear, which was obviously a happy event worth celebrating, but for some reason, they had an inexplicable loss.

Speaking of which, their work efficiency in assisting the Son of Heaven in approving chapter folds today is also rarely extremely low, and it is inevitable that they will turn their heads to look at the window to see if the ridiculous Eighth Emperor is looking at them with a grin as before.

It's a pity that there is no figure of the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun at the window.

Lonesome...... They felt an inexplicable loneliness.

"What a......

Zhongshu Zuo Lin Yuyang smiled self-deprecatingly.

As a scholar, he has been assisting the Emperor of Great Wei in dealing with chapter folds in the Vertical Arch Hall for several years, and this is the first time he has been distracted.

Turning his head to look at Yu Ziqi who had passed, Lin Yuyang was amused to find that this colleague seemed to be approving the chapter folds in a serious manner, but in fact, the mountain of chapter folds in front of him had not decreased in the slightest.

Looking at the Zhongshu Ling He Xiangxu again, Lin Yuyang felt that the spirit of the old man today was really not very good, the old eyes were confused, and he needed to drink tea from time to time to refresh himself, how could he have knelt in front of the Emperor of Dawei a few days ago and begged for the old man to return to his hometown.

『…… What a.'"

Lin Yuyang shook his head with laughter, as a self-deprecation for these people.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the words of the current Great Wei Tianzi after the Dragon Case.

"It seems that Hongrun is not going to come today......"

Lin Yuyang faintly felt a strange atmosphere, as if after the Son of Heaven mentioned Zhao Hongrun, the Eighth Highness, he Lin Yuyang and the other two colleagues in the palace, their spirits all suddenly vibrate.

"Your Majesty, don't let your guard down!" He Xiangxu stroked his beard, and the old god reminded on the ground.

"Wei Chen thinks that His Royal Highness will never give up...... Yu Ziqi still copied his consistent opinion.

"Hey, hey, don't you want to be so spineless? A few days ago, when you were teased by His Royal Highness the Eighth Highness, you all put on a look of annoyance......

Thinking about it, Lin Yuyang's mouth couldn't help but say: "The minister thinks that there is a good chance that His Royal Highness is thinking about the next step!" ”

The four of them glanced at each other and laughed tacitly.

Talking and laughing, their efficiency in handling government affairs has also been accelerated by more than a notch.

Looking at this scene, the great eunuch Tong Xianshi couldn't help laughing, but he didn't dare to laugh, so he had to lower his head and hold back.

I don't know how long later, a eunuch hurriedly walked into the vertical arch hall and knelt in front of the dragon case with a pop.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong, His Royal Highness the Eighth has a fight with Chen Shuyan."

"Chen Shuyan of Youzhi Palace?"

"Your Majesty's favorite Chen Shuxi?"

"Why did His Royal Highness get into a fight with Chen Shuyan? Although His Royal Highness behaves strangely, he doesn't look like a prince who would do such a rebellious thing."

The three ministers of the Chinese book pricked up their ears to listen, although this matter was a family matter of the Son of Heaven, and they were not qualified to intervene, but this did not prevent them from eavesdropping.

"Chen Shuyan?" Zhao Yuanxi, the emperor of Great Wei, put down the brush in his hand and asked puzzledly, "Why did Hongrun fight with Chen Shuxi?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the great eunuch Tong Xian whispered beside him: "Your Majesty, the old slave may know a thing or two ......about this matter," and as he spoke, he told the Great Wei Tianzi that Chen Shuyan led a group of palace maids from Youzhi Palace to Ningxiang Palace to see Shen Shufei this morning.

Few people know that the inner eunuch led by the great eunuch Tong Xian, in fact, in addition to the eunuchs who are in charge of large and small palaces, halls, pavilions and other places in the palace, it is actually a supervisory body, and its role is to assist the Son of Heaven in supervising any disturbances in the entire palace.

It is no exaggeration to say that the things that happened in the palace, even if they were extremely hidden and dirty things, the Great Wei Tianzi may not know about it, but it may not be able to hide it from the eyes of the great eunuch Tong Xian.

"Chen Shufei went to Concubine Shen's Ning Xiang Palace before noon?" What a keen son of heaven that Great Wei Tianzi is, as soon as he heard it, he knew what was definitely going on during this period, after all, Chen Shuyan's delicate temperament, he also dabbled a little bit in it on weekdays.

According to his inference, Chen Shuxi was very likely to have done something in Ningxiang Palace before noon, so Zhao Hongrun, the eighth prince, came to the door in the afternoon.

"Tong Xian, go over and take a look." After thinking for a while, Zhao Yuanxi said calmly.

"Yes." Tong Xian bent down and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, aren't you going over?" ”

"I ...... I'm not going to go. The Great Wei Tianzi glared at Tong Xian unhappily, and said in his heart, Didn't you embarrass me?

Also, one side is Chen Shuyan, the most favored by the Emperor of Great Wei on weekdays, and the other side is Zhao Hongrun, the eighth son whom he likes more and more recently, the so-called palms and backs of the hands are all meat, how do you say that the Emperor of Great Wei will judge this matter?

It's better to stay out of the matter and let Tong Xian take charge of this matter.

Tong Xian respectfully retired.

He wasn't stupid to ask a stupid question like the Son of Heaven of Great Wei, he was just testing the Son of Heaven, and wanted to know which of the status of Chen Shuyan and the Eighth Emperor Zhao Hongrun was higher or lower in the heart of this Son of Heaven.

Only by figuring this out can he deal with this matter according to the Son of Heaven's wishes.

However, the answer of the Son of Heaven made Tong Xian's heart secretly shocked: Zhao Hongrun, the eighth prince who had always been stubborn, in just half a month, his status in the eyes of the Son of Heaven had risen rapidly, and it had reached the point where it was difficult for the Son of Heaven to choose.

Not to mention that Zhao Yuanxi, the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, was anxiously waiting for the news in the Vertical Arch Palace, and said that Tong Xian took the little eunuch who came to report the news, and dozens of patrol guards who met on the road, and a group of people rushed to Youzhi Palace in a hurry.

After a stick of incense, Tong Xian hurried to Youzhi Palace, but as soon as he stepped into the front hall, the chaotic scene in the front hall almost stunned him.

As one of the most favored concubines of the Great Wei Emperor, Chen Shuxi's Youzhi Palace, its decoration and furnishings are quite luxurious, but now what has Tong Xian seen?

He was shocked to see that the front hall of Youzhi Palace was smashed to a pulp, except for the pillars of the main hall, the rest of the decorations and ornaments were all smashed.

"His Royal Highness ...... the Eighth Highness"

Tong Xian didn't have time to think about it, because he heard something that shocked him even more.

"Your Highness is injured!"

"Chen Shuyan openly committed murder and attacked His Highness!"

"What? His Royal Highness is injured?'

Tong Xian's heart became more and more anxious, and when he saw the messy heads in the hall, he hurriedly took out the jade gold order of the Son of Heaven from his arms, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Stop!" Your Majesty's jade gold order is here, it's all for our family to stop! ”

Only then did the commotion in the hall stop, and when they saw the jade gold order held high by Tong Xian, they hurriedly knelt down and bowed.

At this time, Tong Xian saw that Chen Shuyan, who had always been arrogant, was sitting on the ground with a frightened face at this moment, and in the entire hall, only the eighth prince, Zhao Hongrun, was standing there proudly.

"Hiss......"

Tong Xian took a closer look at the Eighth Prince Zhao Hongrun, and gasped in horror, because he found that Zhao Hongrun's neck and face were shocked to ooze several blood marks, and at a glance, he knew that he was scratched by a woman's nails.

Combined with Chen Shuyan, who was sitting on the ground with a frightened face, Tong Xian had roughly guessed a few points.

"Temple...... Under? Quickly, quickly pass on the imperial doctor's ......"

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun seemed to have the heart to bow down to the jade gold order in his hand, Tong Xian, who was shocked, hurriedly put away the golden order, stepped forward to support the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun, and anxiously shouted at the guards in the palace.

The prince broke his appearance, this is a great event!

However, Zhao Hongrun, who was the party concerned, still had an unhurried and impatient attitude, and said to Tong Xian with a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry, Father-in-law Tong is here, presumably on the orders of his father, right?" ”

As soon as she heard this, Chen Shuyan seemed to have found the backbone of the heart, stood up from the ground with a grunt, pointed at Zhao Hongrun and gritted her teeth and said: "Father-in-law Tong, the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun has no respect for courtesy, and he went to the Youzhi Palace of the main palace to commit murder...... Look at the Youzhi Palace in this palace, what has been smashed into? …… What about Your Majesty? This palace wants to see Your Majesty! ”

"......" Looking at Chen Shuyan's shrewd appearance with her hair scattered, Tong Xian couldn't help but have a headache, turned his head to look at the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, Youzhi Palace is Chen Shuyan's dormitory, it's not appropriate for you to smash it like this......"

"Smash?" Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "Where is the main hall smashed?" ”

"This is not ......" Tong Xian looked at the messy front hall, and stopped talking.

As if he had guessed Tong Xian's thoughts, Zhao Hongrun said without changing his face: "Oh, it's just that the hall accidentally slipped his hand." ”

"Hand Slip ......"

Before Tong Xian could understand it, he saw Chen Shuyan scolding angrily: "He's taking revenge!" Revenge Hongu broke before noon...... No, it was an accidental hand slip and accidentally broke a worthless porcelain jar of Shen Shufei, he was retaliating! Get you back! ”

Hearing "hand slipping" twice, Tong Xian's expression suddenly became strange.

This great eunuch who can serve the Son of Heaven will naturally not be incompetent, and he will naturally be able to guess the truth behind some things.

It is nothing more than this Chen Shuyan, relying on His Majesty's favor, arrogant, to Shen Shufei's Ningxiang Palace to do something that made the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun unhappy, so the eighth prince immediately took Zong Wei over to take revenge.

That's right, revenge!

Tong Xian glanced at Zhao Hongrun in embarrassment, "Even if Your Highness's hand slips for a while, it won't turn Youzhi Palace like this, right?" ”

"Hehe, of course, not only did the hands slip, but the feet of the main hall also slipped, and the whole person slipped away, even the whole person with the guards behind His Highness...... Ah, just like Chen Shuyan said, it was an unintentional mistake, right? ”

"Naked Revenge ......"

Tong Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head, he originally thought that this Eighth Highness was just arguing with Chen Shuyan at most, but he didn't expect it to make such a big fuss, not only was the entire front hall of Youzhi Palace completely smashed, but even this Eighth Highness was injured by the broken appearance.

"What should I do with this?"

Tong Xian suddenly had a headache, and said cautiously: "This matter is very important, the old slave doesn't dare to make a decision in vain, it's better to ......"

He wanted to say that it was better to wait for His Majesty to decide in person, but he didn't expect that Zhao Hongrun interrupted him.

"It doesn't matter if Gonggong Tong can't make a verdict, because His Royal Highness has already informed the Zongfu, and the people from the Zongfu are about to arrive."

"Zongfu?"

Tong Xian chuckled in his heart when he heard this, he looked at the scars on Zhao Hongrun's face, and opened his mouth slightly.

"It's over, it's going to be a big deal......
