Chapter 48: Sudden Enlightenment
The August sun was like an open umbrella, and at noon, the sky was dazzlingly bright, like a large white iron plate that had been burned hot. The thin branches of the weeping willows by the flowerbed were motionless, the shadows of the trees shrunk into a ball, and the leaves covered with a layer of dust were wilting and curling.
The road surface was also sunburned like an iron pot, and looking into the distance, there seemed to be a transparent vapor rising on the empty palace road.
Ren Hongfei, who had escaped the guards on duty, was at the last line of defense of Ciqing Palace, wandering around the Ciqing Gate boringly, looking at Wang An who came in a hurry, his face was sweating profusely, and he hurriedly greeted with a smile: "Princess, what's the big deal in such a hurry?" ”
Wang An didn't notice Ren Hongfei at all because of the shock in his heart and his eyes not squinting, nor did he hear what he said, but just rushed to the front hall.
Ren Hongfei looked at Wang An, who was lost in surprise, his eyes rolled, and he quietly followed, and before the two of them stepped on the stone steps, the guards Han Benyong and Liu Wei standing at the door reported loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Wang An's father-in-law is in a hurry to see." ”
Zhu Changluo replied in the hall: "Quickly invite the prince to come in." ”
Han Benyong hurriedly opened the door of the palace, Wang An entered in a hurry, and Ren Hongfei also gently followed Wang An a few steps behind him and walked into the front hall.
After closing the door of the palace, Zhu Changluo stepped forward and said: "Princess, what's the big deal in such a hurry...", then saw Ren Hongfei standing behind Wang An, Zhu Changluo frowned slightly, but he didn't know if Wang An brought Ren Hongfei here, or if there were other changes, so he didn't ask for a while.
Wang An hurriedly interrupted: "His Royal Highness the Prince, in an emergency, the Holy Lord suddenly asked me to draft an edict, edict the king to enter Beijing, and convene the cabinet. ”
Zhu Changluo's face changed greatly, Mu Li was on the spot, like a thunderbolt hitting his body on a sunny day, this matter was already obvious, it seemed that this was to change the heir to the throne.
Zhu Changluo turned around the room with a pale face, and muttered: "Even if I recall King Fu, I haven't made a mistake, I'm afraid that the cabinet won't agree." ”
Wang An hurriedly said: "But that's too passive, in case there is a little change, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still hurried to think of countermeasures. ”
Zhu Changluo turned around anxiously a few more times, his mind was in a mess, he really couldn't think of any good way, and Wang An was helpless.
At this time, Ren Hongfei, who had been standing silently behind Wang An, suddenly took a few steps forward and said in a loud voice: "The emperor's grandfather is not in good health and is bedridden, and his father, as the eldest son, has not been summoned, but he should also wait on the emperor's bed day and night." ”
Then he lowered his voice: "What's more, the imperial grandfather is now terminally ill, and he is inevitably a little delirious, and it is inevitable that he will say some inexplicable words, the imperial grandfather is the emperor of the world, and he must not ruin his reputation in his old age, and the holy decree is to be recorded in the annals of history, in order to avoid the imperial grandfather from being misunderstood by future generations, these instructions when he is delirious can not be issued for the time being." ”
Ren Hongfei said loudly again: "The child thinks that the father should immediately go to serve the emperor's grandfather and accompany him day and night to fulfill his filial piety." In addition, in order for the emperor's grandfather to recuperate with peace of mind, the Qianqing Palace should also restrict entry and exit to avoid anyone disturbing the emperor's purity. ”
Zhu Changluo listened carefully to Ren Hongfei's words, lowered his head and thought for a while, and his face was happy: "Wang An, what you said is good, in order to avoid damaging the prestige of your father, don't send the edict first." Let's take care of our father's dragon body first. ”
After that, he led Wang An out, walked to Ren Hongfei's side, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and went out of the palace gate and ordered: "Benyong, Liu Wei, follow me and Wang Gonggong to Qianqing Palace." ”
"Yes." Han Benyong and Liu Wei agreed in unison, and after Zhu Changluo and Wang An walked a few steps, they slowly followed behind.
Ren Hongfei stood at the door of the store and watched Zhu Changluo, who suddenly came to his senses, leave Ciqing Palace quickly, and a sneer appeared in his heart: "Hmph, Zhu Changluo, the sooner Zhu Yijun dies, the faster you will die!" ”
Looking up at the sky, Ren Hongfei turned around and walked back slowly, in the past few months of his surprise reunion with Ye Hanqing, it can be said that he has been the most comfortable period since he came to this world.
Ren Hongfei walked back, while looking down and thinking about something, he suddenly raised his head and smiled, and unconsciously came to the door of Zhu Youxiao's east wing, Ye Hanqing did not stand guard outside.
Ren Hongfei kicked the door open vigorously, startling the people inside, Zhu Youxiao said angrily: "Old Five, are you convulsing?" Sooner or later, this door will break in your hands. ”
Zhu Youxiao and Ke Yinyue in the room were sitting at the table and were about to eat, while Ye Hanqing was waiting.
Ren Hongfei closed the door and said with a smile: "Boss, I'm here to eat again, it doesn't matter if the door is broken, you won't be able to live here for long anyway." ”
Saying that, he sat down unceremoniously, and there were shallot-flavored sea cucumbers, two hairy crabs, steamed sea bass, and shrimp and small tofu soup on the table.
Ren Hongfei exaggeratedly shouted: "Oh, it's all seafood." Then he squinted his eyes and looked at Zhu Youxiao and smiled maliciously: "Hehe, boss, is it that your body has been weak and weak recently, and you need nourishment." ”
Zhu Youxiao's face flushed: "I don't have any good words when I come, the crab can't stop your mouth, eat it quickly." ”
Ren Hongfei shook his head and said: "That's not good, there are only two in total, I ate it, what does Aunt Ke eat." ”
Zhu Youxiao replied casually: "My aunt and I will eat one." ”
Ren Hongfei suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's the case. ”
Zhu Youxiao immediately woke up and fell into the ditch, and used feigned anger to hide his embarrassment: "Eat it, if you don't eat, get out of it." ”
Ke Yinyue covered her mouth and giggled: "Fifth son, you know how to bully the school brother honestly, why don't you fight with Hui Yuan." ”
Ren Hongfei shuddered, shook his head and said, "How dare I, that tigress won't bite me to death." ”
As he was talking, Ye Hanqing put a pair of chopsticks on Ren Hongfei, and Ren Hongfei looked at Zhu Youxiao and said, "Boss, take the wine out and let's have a few drinks." ”
Zhu Youxiao was taken aback: "You can't find yourself at noon, if your father comes, we won't have to scold you to death." ”
Ren Hongfei smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, he's very busy now, so he doesn't bother to pay attention to you, hurry up and bring it, there is a big happy event announced, if you don't give wine to drink, then I won't say it." ”
Ke Yinyue got up with a smile and walked into the back room, took out a pot of wine and a few wine glasses, and put them on the table to fill them for the two of them.
Ren Hongfei poured two more glasses: "Aunt Ke will also accompany you for a cup, and Han Qing will also sit down and be happy together." ”
Ye Hanqing hesitated and said, "This, this is not etiquette." ”
Zhu Youxiao said: "It's okay, there are no outsiders, Han Qing also sat down for a drink, I want to see what ivory this thing can spit out." ”
Since Ye Hanqing entered the palace to accompany Zhu Youxiao, the two are of the same age and can speak more well, so Zhu Youxiao has always regarded Ye Hanqing as a cronie, and at first called him Ye Zhongyuan, and later with the habits of his teachers Sun Chengzong and Ren Hongfei, he also called him Hanqing.
Ye Hanqing thought about it and finally sat down.
