The noon sun shines on the Forbidden City, showing its dignified and majestic, magnificent, and majestic spirit everywhere, which is the eternity of the motherland's culture and history. But the open and secret battles inside, the verbal and sword-talking, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and falling into the well, are all better than the ancient battlefields of flesh and blood.

Ren Hongfei looked at the splendid hall and the majestic vermilion palace wall, and with a sneer, he remembered a five-character poem: Zique Nine-fold Gate, the soul of the Son of Heaven is imprisoned. The mountains and rivers are far away, and the sword and axe hall are in the tun. Loyalty and straightness are frequent, and treacherous and evil are respected. Where is the real dragon? It's all Shi Jia's words.

I don't know when I will be able to escape from this land of deceit, Ren Hongfei shook his head helplessly, slowly walked back to his residence, and was stunned when he arrived at the door, only to see two guards with knives wearing fish scale leaf armor, wearing vermilion lacquered iron helmets, and ink-colored soap boots.

It seems that the crown prince Zhu Changluo has lunch with Lady Liu here, which is a rare thing, and it is only three or five times in Ren Hongfei's memory, Ren Hongfei pushed the door and walked in and said loudly: "The child asks for his father." ”

Zhu Changluo, who was sitting at the round table, snorted coldly: "Hmph, where have you been wandering around again?" ”

Ren Hongfei chuckled: "The child went to catch ants." ”

Zhu Changluo accused Lady Liu: "You don't care, let him run around all day long, yesterday's situation was special, if he was met by the inspection, what should I do." ”

Lady Liu hurriedly got up and knelt down: "The concubine knows her mistake, and she will definitely discipline her more in the future." Yesterday ......"

Zhu Changluo interrupted: "That's it, let's eat first." ”

There are four dishes and one soup on the table, spicy rabbit shreds, Qiaotou pork ribs, tiger skin meat, Shih Tzu tongue, a big bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup, and a few Jinhua shortbread in the blue and white plate next to it. Because of the protrusion of the foot muscles, seafood is regarded as a treasure, because of its shape like a human tongue, so it is known as Shih Tzu tongue.

Looking at the table full of delicacies Ren Hongfei's saliva is about to flow down, this situation can be seen in the New Year, and after Zhu Changluo got off the first chopsticks, he immediately ate happily, looking at the cheerful Ren Hongfei, a faint smile finally appeared on Zhu Changluo's gloomy face, although Lady Liu has not been happy with him, but Ren Hongfei saw the shadow of his childhood, and he should be kind to them in the future, Zhu Changluo sighed.

Lady Liu looked at her gradually changing husband and happy son, and finally had a trace of warmth in her heart, and Lan'er, who was waiting next to her, also felt endless relief: "Miss is finally going to be bitter." ”

The family finished eating silently but warmly, and Lan'er had just cleaned up, when a guard with a knife suddenly knocked on the door and said, "Your Highness, Father-in-law Pang Bao and Father-in-law Liu Cheng are asking to see you outside the door." ”

A trace of anger appeared in Zhu Changluo's eyes, these two eunuchs were really hateful, relying on being Zheng Guifei's cronies, they dared not wait in the front hall, and went directly to the back room of Ciqing Palace.

After coming back to his senses, Zhu Changluo calmed down and said, "Xuan them come in." ”

Two big-eared eunuchs in their forties bowed in with gift boxes in their hands, knelt down at the door and said, "Slave to Your Highness." ”

Zhu Changluo said: "Don't be polite, why are you two visiting?" ”

The two got up, and Pang Bao said: "The concubine Niangniang heard that His Highness was frightened yesterday, and she has been relieved, so she prepared a special gift or two, and ordered the servants to visit His Highness, and suppressed the shock for His Highness, the assassin is really bold, and the concubine Niangniang can't wait to put him to death immediately, what does His Highness think?" ”

Lady Liu became more and more angry the more she listened to it, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Thank you for your concern, fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a great life and a true dragon to protect the body, otherwise the concubine will get what she wants, and why should the concubine Niangniang pretend to be a thief and shout to catch a thief, so anxious to kill people and kill people, I'm afraid it's a weak heart." ”

As soon as Lady Liu said this, Zhu Changluo, Pang Bao, and Liu Chengdeng's expressions changed greatly, Lan'er trembled with fright, Ren Hongfei's face immediately turned like ashes, he knew very well the consequences of these words, he was afraid that it would bring a monstrous disaster to his current mother, but he had no choice but to let it be.

Zhu Changluo shouted angrily: "Shut up, it's nonsense." With that, he got up and slapped Lady Liu twice.

Liu Cheng stepped forward and said gloomily: "Your Highness, listen to what Lady Liu meant, it means that the thief who assassinated His Highness was found by our noble concubine." ”

Zhu Changluo smiled and said: "Father-in-law Liu misunderstood, this is a woman's opinion, nonsense, the two fathers-in-law must not take it to heart." ”

Pang Bao said coldly on the side: "Your Highness, rest assured, the slave will definitely return to the concubine Niangniang intact, and the slave will retire." ”

Zhu Changluo's expression instantly stiffened, and then he said coldly: "Wait a minute, someone is coming." ”

The two saber guards entered in response, and a trace of fear appeared on the faces of Pang Bao and Liu Cheng, not knowing what Zhu Changluo wanted to do.

Zhu Changluo instructed: "Lady Liu's mouth is not inferior, give me a cane to blame." ”

The second guard responded and quickly took out two court sticks that were one person high and arm thick from a room next to them.

Lady Liu lay on the ground calmly, the staff in the hands of the guards began to fall heavily, and within ten sticks, a faint trace of blood had flowed from the corner of Lady Liu's mouth, but she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word, Lan'er knelt in front of Zhu Changluo and kept kowtowing, choked and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Miss is thin and can't stand it anymore, let Lan'er punish Miss for her, please Your Highness." ”

Zhu Changluo was indifferent without squinting, and after five more beatings, Lady Liu was already confused and delirious, Ren Hongfei hurriedly said: "Daddy, spare my mother, she really can't stand it." After saying that, he rushed two steps and lay on Lady Liu's back, the guards couldn't stop it, and a stick fell heavily on Ren Hongfei's buttocks, this loud sound was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day that shook the hearts of Lady Liu and Lan'er, and the severe pain made Ren Hongfei almost faint.

Lady Liu suddenly raised her head and whispered, "Lan'er." ”

Lan'er looked at Lady Liu, who was already staring away, understood the sustenance in her eyes, got up with tears streaming down her face, and pulled Ren Hongfei into her arms and hugged her tightly.

The guards were shocked and covered in cold sweat, if they broke the little prince this time, they were afraid that their heads would fall to the ground, and the nine clans would be big, and they would stay there with the court staff in their hands and not even dare to come out.

The corners of Zhu Changluo's mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at Pang Bao and Liu Cheng with slanted eyes, seeing that the two of them did not say anything, Zhu Changluo gritted his teeth and said, "What are you doing in a daze, continue." ”

The two guards hesitated for a moment, then raised the staff in their hands again, and fell down trembling again. Lan'er held Ren Hongfei tightly in her arms with both hands, closed her eyes and sobbed softly, and every beat seemed to hit her.
