The fake greetings between the little fat man and Li Chongming, the prince of Jiawang, did not last long, because he quickly noticed Chen Wuliang. For the head of the extraordinarily skilled chamberlain beside his father, he is no longer as inappropriate as when he was a child, when Chen Wuliang came up to meet with a smile, he dragged the person up, and said with a complaining face.

"I usually look up and don't look down, but you still come here with me?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not afraid of hardships and dangers this time, and his hard work is high, if you didn't come too quickly, the accompanying civil and military officials and those people from the Daimyo Mansion should go to the city gate to greet you, not to mention me, an old man?" Chen Wuliang was well versed in the gist of flattery, and in two sentences, the little fat man smiled, and then said hello to Yue Qianqiu.

"It's really not easy for the ninth prince to be born and die this time."

"yes, I feel lucky to be able to save a life under the hands of a few crazy people." Yue Qianqiu was not as serious as the little fat man, he beat his arms and legs, and then sighed and said, "But the end is that I am now half a waste." If you hurry up on the road, you have to bother others to help you walk, and you don't know what to do in the future. ”

It is not uncommon for Yue Qianqiu to make fun of himself, however, what kind of eyesight Chen Wuliang has, just from Yue Qianqiu's vain steps, he can see that people are indeed in a worrying physical condition. Thinking that the secret letter sent by the old lady Yue before also said that Yue Qianqiu was drugged by Emperor Beiyan, and then asked for three antidotes from Xiao Jingxian, which were essentially tiger and wolf medicines, he didn't understand Yue Qianqiu's worries.

At that moment, he opened his mouth and said with relief: "No matter how good a famous general is, there are times when he misses, not to mention that you have just suffered a small setback?" There are the best imperial doctors in the palace, and there are many national players in the rejuvenation view, what is your little situation! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Chongming: "Look at the prince of Jiawang, he was not seriously injured, but this time he was able to follow the emperor to the north and helped a lot, which shows the means of the imperial doctor in the palace." Today, he was supposed to greet him at the gate of the Left-behind Mansion, but the emperor instructed him not to show off, so he waited here. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly patted his forehead, and suddenly said, "Look at my memory, the emperor is waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince to go in and talk!" ”

Hearing that Chen Wuliang comforted himself in just a few words, and by the way, explained clearly the reason why Li Chongming came out and waited here, Yue Qianqiu thought to himself that this guy was cunning and cunning. Seeing that the little fat man was talking to Chen Wuliang while he was talking to Li Chongming's uncle and nephew, he coughed and signaled the little fat man to stop. At last this hint worked, and the little fat man immediately turned around.

"Let's go, then." The little fat man straightened his clothes, and then as if he suddenly remembered, he asked with a concerned face, "Did my father call Chongming to go in?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yue Qianqiu clearly saw that a trace of gloom flashed on Li Chongming's face, who was bowing his head. Although that emotion was quickly concealed, with Chen Wuliang's answer, he didn't even need to look at Li Chongming's expression at this moment to understand why this prince of Jiawang had such an emotional change.

"Although the prince of Jiawang said that his health had improved greatly, he heard that the emperor was on a northern tour, he was filial, and he set off with the emperor before he recovered, and the emperor was afraid that he would be tired, so he told him to rest more, work less, and see fewer people." Chen Wuliang said it lightly, but as long as someone with a little brain, he knows that his focus is on the last three words, not to mention Yue Qianqiu and Little Fat.

Especially the little fat man who still had a lot of suspicion and vigilance in his heart just now, at this moment he realized that his father was just taking Li Chongming out as an ornament, or beware of an accident in Jinling, he was even more happy, and his attitude towards Li Chongming was much more natural.

It's just that he finally remembered that there were twelve princesses among his attaché, as well as Xiao Jingxian and Yue Xiaosi, but it was not easy to mention it in front of Li Chongming, so he had to give Chen Wuliang a look.

Fortunately, what made him very satisfied was that before Chen Wuliang could mention it, Li Chongming took the initiative to retire because he was a little unwell. When people left, he felt even more refreshed, and immediately looked at Chen Wuliang, and sure enough, he only heard people say with a smile: "The emperor said, you have worked hard all the way, today I will meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince first, and the rest of the people will rest for one night, and he will meet them one by one." ”

For such an arrangement, the little fat man was very satisfied, and of course Yue Qianqiu would not say anything. When Chen Wuliang led the way, the little fat man followed closely, and Yue Qianqiu whispered to Zhou Jiyue: "It's all handed over to you, remember that whether it is Xiao Jingxian or Xiao Changxing, or the twelve princesses, it can't be arranged by others, it's all up to you personally." ”

"Got it, don't worry!" Zhou Jiyue angrily slapped Yue Qianqiu on the back, and when the person slowly swallowed and followed the two people in front of her, she couldn't help but be a little worried about whether his body could hold it. But immediately after, her trace of worry was washed away by Song Pujia's words!

"Sister Zhou, you really think that guy is weak! He is in good health, and I have increased the amount of detoxification for him with needles and drugs, and within a month or two, he will be able to live a dragon and a tiger, otherwise I will not treat people in the future! He's pretending to be like this now, he just can't use force casually, and everything like walking is fine! ”

Yue Qianqiu didn't know that Zhou Jiyue had already found out that he had taken advantage of him, and was secretly annoyed and vowed to teach him a good lesson for a while, and now that he has not recovered, he is definitely not an opponent. At this moment, he slowly followed the little fat man and Chen Wu and walked in, although he didn't look left and right, but Xu Yu still habitually remembered the road in his mind.

When he came to a yard planted with a clump of green bamboo, he couldn't help but glance at the bamboo forest several times, and the result attracted the impatient urging of the little fat man: "Qianqiu, isn't it the first time you have seen bamboo, do you need to stare at it so stubbornly?" ”

"I was just thinking, except for the garden, not to mention bamboo, there are no other plants and trees in the palace." Yue Qianqiu prevaricated casually, and when he saw that the little fat man really frowned and pondered, he said happily, "But it's not surprising, things like plants, trees, flowers and trees are the easiest to hide, and the most feared thing in the palace is assassins." ”

Seeing that the little fat man suddenly realized, he smiled evilly: "Even if he is not an assassin, there is a beautiful palace maid hidden among the grass and trees, and when he spies on which noble person appears, he rushes out and pretends to be a chance encounter, this kind of wonderful encounter is only enough in the imperial garden, if all corners of the palace come out, whether it is the emperor or you, I'm afraid no one can stand it!" ”

Hearing this, even Chen Wuliang couldn't sit back and watch Yue Qianqiu continue to talk nonsense, especially when he found that the little fat man's eyes were flickering, and he was really assessing this possibility, he could only cough heavily and said: "Ninth Prince, it's just a bamboo forest, can't you think of something good?" ”

"Okay? Absolutely...... It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo...... But that's an idea that only elegant people have, but I, a layman, have to eat meat first, and it doesn't matter if there is bamboo or not. Gonggong Chen, I was really thinking just now, is it really appropriate to put a clump of bamboo that is not in the palace in the courtyard where the emperor is temporarily stationed? ”

Chen Wuliang finally decided not to entangle with Yue Qianqiu anymore, and if he continued like this, the topic would go around and around on the bamboo! So, he resolutely stopped answering this question, and strode to the door of the main room in the center with his own care, and knocked lightly. Before he could speak, a voice came from inside: "All here?" Let the two of them in. ”

Chen Wuliang immediately turned around and stepped aside, only to see the little fat man hurriedly walk a few steps to the door, and then began to check his clothes and appearance again, while Yue Qianqiu followed unhurriedly, not to mention inspecting his appearance, even the expression on his face did not change. So, when he pushed the door open and let the two of them in, he was very worried about what kind of progress would happen next.

However, the next moment, the emperor's voice came from the house: "You go to the courtyard gate and watch, unless the Beiyan army is coming, someone in Jinling is rebelling, or I call you, don't let the idlers and others approach." ”

The emperor had already said this, Chen Wuliang naturally agreed immediately, then closed the door and retreated, and walked out of the courtyard gate quickly. With his ears, he could actually hear the conversation in the room even from this long distance, but after he ordered the guards, he deliberately focused his attention in other directions around him to avoid hearing what he shouldn't have heard.

And in the house, the little fat man who went in one after the other and Yue Qianqiu also behaved completely differently. One is cautious, awe-inspiring as to a big guest, and the other is careless, as if casually going to see a less important relative. Therefore, when he saluted, he saw the little fat man who had been reunited for a long time and bowed directly with excitement on his face, and Yue Qianqiu had to bend his legs while slandering his stomach.

Fortunately, his knees had not touched the ground before he heard the emperor's slightly tired voice: "Get up!" Shiro, you learn for a long time, and when the sky falls, he is fine! ”

The little fat man glanced at Yue Qianqiu, even if he was not like before now, he always felt that his father was better to Yue Qianqiu than his own son, but he still couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous, and when he stood up, he said angrily: "I can't learn his heartlessness!" This time I went out, and I was almost scared to death several times, but even so, it couldn't compare to the thrill of Qianqiu! ”

He peeked at the emperor as he spoke, and seeing that he was not angry because of his words, he said even more boldly: "Father, this battle of Bazhou can achieve the final result, you and Yue Xiang are of course very important, but Qianqiu's deep into the tiger's den is also indispensable, and please ask my father to reward him heavily!" ”

Yue Qianqiu didn't expect that the little fat man would put on a high hat for himself as soon as he opened his mouth, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Of course, he could understand the little fat man's kindness, but he really felt aggrieved in his heart, and some words were even more unhappy. And since Grandpa didn't follow him back to the Daimyo's Mansion, then he had to find an answer from the emperor.

Even if he really didn't care so much about his background, he still admitted that the woman who rescued him from the fire was a lifesaver. Then, he must have a clear answer, he must know who the other party is!

Before the emperor could speak, he saw that Yue Qianqiu had already raised his head, and his eyes were surprisingly bright. Facing the vaguely familiar eyes, he was unconsciously a little stunned, but he came back to his senses in an instant, but he laughed.

"I mentioned it at the beginning, but I didn't expect that you and Shiro would really become friends. You know, in the past, he was irritable, and you obviously disliked him very much, but you have helped him a lot over the years, and at this time, Shiro does not hesitate to risk angering me, and also wants to fight for a reward for you. I have to say that time can really change a person. ”

The little fat man didn't expect his father to suddenly mention this, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then realized something, and immediately turned his head and glared at Yue Qianqiu. Seeing that he was really looking at the emperor directly, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly glanced at the people. Finding that Yue Qianqiu completely ignored his hints, he became more and more anxious, and he actually forgot to answer the emperor's words.

And this time it was Yue Qianqiu who spoke: "The emperor is right, the years are like flying knives, and the knife work is quite ruthless, unconsciously smoothing the edges and corners of a person, and cutting a sharp person into a person with eight faces." But I'm different, I didn't have any edges and corners back then, I just relied on my grandfather's support to bully the soft and fear the hard. ”

But I said, I don't care about my background, that's true. The one who gave birth to me and did not raise me has no right to ask me to do anything based on blood. And the people who have raised me for more than ten years have given me a rich life that is far better than that of ordinary people in these years, and who have given me family affection, are naturally my real relatives. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly changed his words and said: "However, the grace of saving lives is like reconstruction." I have to know whether the woman who rescued me from the fire was Ding An, Xiao Lele, or someone else! ”

The emperor ignored the little fat man who was already full of anxiety, and asked lightly, "What if you know?" ”

"Moving graves, sacrificing and sweeping, and setting up gods, this is the minimum." Yue Qianqiu didn't care about the emperor's cold tone, and said seriously, "Then, find her relatives and help them at least within the scope of your ability." As the saying goes, the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, let alone the grace of saving lives? ”

"What if I don't tell you?"

"Then look it up." Yue Qianqiu said without backing, "One year or two years, ten years and eight years, I don't believe that the truth will always sink into the sea." ”

The emperor looked at Yue Qianqiu without blinking, and suddenly said bluntly: "If you find out that it was indeed Xiao Lele who saved you back then, but it was not someone else who set that fire, but the person sent by your grandfather?" ”

Just when the little fat man's scalp was numb and he almost exclaimed, he heard three words in a categorical way.

"Impossible!"

At that moment, the little fat man was simply mixed. He asked himself in his heart, if Yue Qianqiu asked if it was the incident led by his father, would he refute it so firmly? There is no doubt that even if he said these three words, he would not be so quick and so resolute! Because as early as on the battlefield, when the truth was torn apart, his heart was in turmoil!
