When Zhongchen Bubi woke up again, although his spirit was still in a state of chaos, his intuition had already let him know that something terrible had happened under circumstances unknown to him.

He turned his head and looked down at the dark gold embroidered robe he was wearing, and after a while, he hesitated to ask Su Lianzi, who was standing in the shadow on one side, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Lianzi didn't answer, just glanced at him deeply, and then made a big salute, kowtowed: "Congratulations, Your Excellency, the beginning of the great achievement." ”

The eight-year-old boy blinked, and in an instant, all the memories revived in an instant, and his immature little face was dyed with endless sadness and decisiveness: "Well, the rest of the matter has been accomplished, and I can return to my father." ”

"But...... The next task will be even heavier, will His Excellency the Second Son continue? If there are indeed difficulties, it is not impossible to do so. ”

After all, Su and Lianzi still said what was in his heart.

“…… Need not. ”

There was a pause in silence - just a moment, and the Zhongchen lightly hooked the corners of his lips and smiled: "Even if you return to China, you have to learn these things from others." In that case, why not learn from the people in the Tang Palace? Even in my father's eyes, they are far more vigilant than those in my country. ”

Su Lianzi sighed, gave a long salute, and said no more.

The next day, the night is like water.

In the main hall of the East Palace. Li Hong, who was sitting in a cloak, held a folded white book, and listened to the young generals who returned from the Western Regions next to him talk about some interesting things, while holding a pen and recording it with a smile.

Just as a group of people were talking, a very white and delicate-looking little attendant hurriedly came up to the hall and saluted: "Your Highness, the letter that Your Highness asked for when you got up the morning before yesterday has been brought by you, and I ask Your Highness to take a look." ”

As he spoke, he presented the lacquered wooden plate he was holding in his hand in front of Li Hong.

Li Hongyang raised his eyebrows, glanced at him, said hello, reached out and took the small fire paint letterhead from the plate, opened it with a bang, and knocked it on the palm of his hand, and saw a roll of extremely tightly rolled small letter paper falling into the palm of his hand. He nodded, picked it up and turned it left and right, then reloaded it and put it back on the plate: "Okay, this palace knows, just send it out like this." ”

The little attendant seemed to be a little surprised, and after looking up at him, he immediately claimed that he was, and hurriedly stepped back. However, his every move was extremely smooth, and none of the young generals felt that there was anything wrong with him. After he left, he laughed with Li Hong again.

After a while, everyone in the hall retreated, Li Hongcai slowly smiled, looked at the fire in front of him, and threw a question to Jing'an next to him:

"How?"

"As Niangniang and His Highness expected, that Su Lianzi, yesterday afternoon, as soon as he delivered the letter to the second son of the middle minister, immediately moved—and according to the language in the intercepted letters...... It turned out that he escorted the second son of Zhongchen into my Tang Dynasty this time, half as a guard, half as a surveillance! It is true to escort this child into the Tang Dynasty safely and establish a new relationship with my Datang, and it is also true to monitor this child so that he does not find out his identity - after all, his biological mother, the relationship with my Datang is too close, and if he is not careful, if he discovers his true identity, then the two Su Niangniang, who are now the crown princess of Dongying, I am afraid that they will be very sad - after all, for my Datang, this child is the object that my Datang is really willing and willing to support. ”

Jing'an said in a low voice.

Li Hong hooked the corners of his lips: "Then he ...... himself"

"I don't know. At least for now, this royal jewel still doesn't know the true identity of the guard next to him - and even in his opinion, this guard is an extremely important object of dependence on him. ”

"That'...... Bengu has to find a way to remind him. Li Hong said lightly: "At least we can't let him stay in this state of ignorance forever in our Datang territory." ”

"Your Highness wants to uncover the true identity of this child? But ......" Jing'an frowned and said, "Once it is exposed, I'm afraid it will be harmful to our Datang?" ”

"Naturally, this palace will not expose all this, because ......" Li Hong smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes: "With his cleverness, I am afraid that from the moment I learned that this Su I clan was the important dependence of the Tang Dynasty with him, he already had suspicions." ”

"That's just as well. Is His Highness reminding him to be careful with the people around him? ”

"That's too straightforward, it's too public. Hongu ...... I hope he can know that there are actually a lot of powers that can be used around him—as long as he can handle the words of this Soga Clan-sama well. ”

"Your Highness's intention is to let this prince of the middle minister directly grasp the power that Dongying hides in my Tang Kingdom?" Jing'an thought for a while, and immediately praised: "Wonderful! It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish! This Zhongchen son is very intelligent, and instead of directly protecting his safety, it is better to let him know how many sources he has available. And these powers are more or less contaminated with this Soga-sama. Once he noticed that Lord Su I was so powerful, he would naturally be more wary of this person, and he would further think about why he was such a character and wanted to accompany him to my Tang Dynasty.

At that time, for this prince of the courtiers, there was only one way he could choose, actively maintain neutrality, and always be vigilant, borrowing more from His Royal Highness.

In this way, this connection is established step by step. ”

Jing'an nodded and praised: "Your Highness is really thoughtful and thoughtful. ”

Li Hong smiled faintly: "It's just a matter of learning." When the queen mother first entered the palace, when she was competing for favor in the harem of the emperor, she had heard of the things she did to protect herself. And the queen mother herself has always been the same—if there is a strong person, and I want to ally with it, I should seek its benefits first, so as to gain common benefits. ”

The prince of the Tang Dynasty slowly took down the Bohai Night Pearl from the lampstand next to him, put it in the palm of his hand with a smile, and played with it carefully, the glowing pale yellow warm light reflected his whole face as bright and beautiful.

In a trance, Jing'an seemed to see the two masters who were on top of the dragon and phoenix, and gradually reunited into a figure on the body of this little boy.

At the same time.

Jiucheng Palace, in the Great Treasure Palace.

Li Zhi was busy with business today, so he had not yet returned to the dormitory. And Mei Niang took advantage of the fact that the most clingy husband had not yet returned to the palace, and explained several important matters one by one, and instructed Ming and them to do it.

It's just that when she finished explaining, she found that Ming Heli was looking at herself stupidly on the spot, looking at a loss.

"What's wrong?"

Mei Niang looked at him with a little surprise.

"...... Are you going to ...... Want to find out the identity of that woman? Can...... But this thing ...... you" Minghe blinked, full of surprise and shock:

For so many years, Mei Niang has never mentioned this person since that incident. Why?

Why did Mei Niang ask him to visit the woman in this matter?

"Hmm...... Although he didn't ask the kid, it was probably just a few days before he was going to try to make a move. It's just that although he is now the crown prince, there are some things that he is still beyond his power after all. If Bengong can do something for him, he naturally has to be thoughtful. What's more, her affairs were originally only known to the palace and a few palace people back then. It's too difficult for a junior like him to check. If you can do a little, you can do a little! ”

Mei Niang waved her hand, and Minghe immediately stopped speaking and retreated by himself.
