Chapter 62: Twists and Turns
Zhou Zhengzhi heard the news, and hurriedly returned to the Changle Palace, in addition to seeing Yuan Ye who was thrown on the ground like a kitten, there were also restless Shangguan Qian and others on the side. "The King of Puyang has been invited, why are you still worried?" Zhou Zhengzhi asked curiously.
When Shangguan Qian heard this, he became angry and pointed to Yuan Ye on the ground: "You ask him!" ”
Sun Qian was even more excited and pulled out her short sword and was about to lynch him: "Do you say it or not!" ”
Hanako was busy in front of Yuan Ye: "The princess can't!" Your Majesty already has prejudices against His Highness, and if you hurt him again, it will be even more difficult to explain in front of Your Highness! ”
Zhou Zhengzhi instantly understood that it must be this Yuanye's refusal to cooperate that caused everyone to be so anxious. But it's reasonable to think about it, if Yuan Ye confesses that he framed Yuan Rui at this time, then he may lose his life at any time, of course, he gritted his teeth and held on.
After contemplating his eyebrows and thinking about it, he only heard Sun Qian make another difficulty: "I can't care so much, he refuses to return Brother Rui's innocence, then I will let him bury Brother Rui!" As he spoke, he slashed down with a sword.
Seeing this, Yuan Ye hurriedly dodged on the ground, dodging Sun Qian's serial sword strikes while crying: "This king promises you!" This king promises you to go and confess to Your Majesty at once! Walk! Let's enter the palace immediately...... Enter the palace immediately......"
Shangguan Qian looked at Hua Zidu: "Do you believe him?" ”
Hanako shook her head like a rattle: "I don't believe it if I die!" ”
This time it was Yuanye's turn to go crazy: "This king won't recruit you and won't do it, and now this king promises you, you still won't do it!" What do you want this king to do? ”
Shangguan Qian and Huazi were both speechless for a while, at the beginning, everyone only thought that they could prove Yuan Rui's innocence by arresting people back, but they really didn't think about the dilemma they faced after they were caught. Shangguan Qian was silent for a moment: "Otherwise, we will simply rob the prison and kill this bastard and end up clean!" ”
Hanako actually seriously thought about this proposal: "Hmm! Anyway, we let a few of his followers go, and the news of his capture will spread soon. ”
Yuan Ye wiped his nose and cried: "Two! Calm down, calm down! Because his attention was focused on Shangguan Qian and Hua Zidu, he was unexpectedly pierced by Sun Qian's sleeve with a sword, and he screamed in fright and rolled to the side.
Zhou Zhengzhi saw that he was frightened enough, and stepped forward to stop Sun Qian: "The horizontal and vertical person has been taken, whether he is worthy of cooperation or not, we have to bring him to His Majesty to confront His Highness face to face." I don't believe it! Heaven is clear, can he always reverse black and white like this? General Zhonglang, you immediately take His Royal Highness King Puyang into the palace to face the saint, and I will go back to the Tingwei Mansion to bring His Highness! ”
Hanako glanced at Yuan Ye coldly: "His Royal Highness the King of Puyang, let's go!" ”
Yuan Ye gasped in shock, and hurriedly agreed: "Go!" Walk! Let's go! Let's go! "As long as he can stay away from the two "devils" of Sun Qian and Shangguan Qian, let alone enter the palace, even if he is allowed to go to prison immediately, he is willing.
Seeing that the palace gate was getting closer and closer, Yuan Ye was getting more and more nervous, rubbing his hands and looking around. Hanako pushed and urged from time to time: "Your Highness, sooner or later, you have to face it, it's better to be like a gentleman?" ”
Yuan Ye hummed absentmindedly and continued to stay under various excuses.
Huazi saw the fire in her eyes, and was about to step forward to knock him twice, when she met Cui Jiaren and her maid Guifeng, and hurriedly retreated to the side: "Xiaguan has seen Zhaoyi!" ”
Seeing that it was Huazidu, Cui Jiaren's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly stepped forward: "Zhonglang doesn't have to be polite, it's just right to see you, so we don't have to go back to Cui's mansion to ask my brother." I heard that His Royal Highness King Changle has been imprisoned, and Zhonglang will have a very good personal relationship with His Royal Highness, and he must know the inside story, so I am afraid that asking His Majesty directly will anger him even more. "It turns out that because Yuan Rui has been imprisoned in the past few days, the entire Luoyang City has been full of wind and rain, and it is said that he offended Yuan Yao by killing the Rouran messenger without permission, but all kinds of signs show that the truth is not so simple, Cui Jiaren has been mixed with Cui Mingyou and Yuan Rui and others since he was a child, and naturally he doesn't want him to have anything to do, so he thought of going back to Cui Mansion to ask Cui Mingyou what is going on, but he didn't want to bump into Huazidu here.
Hanako pouted Yuan Ye with her mouth: "It's not His Royal Highness the King of Puyang who made the ghost!" ”
Cui Jiaren was about to ask, when suddenly saw a burst of dust flying, and Yuan Ye didn't know when he took out a handful of things from his arms and threw them at them while the two were talking. Cui Jiaren had no big problem with his back to him, but Hanako was not so lucky, seeing a cloud of white dust coming towards him, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover it, but despite this, a lot of dust leaked into his eyes from between his fingers.
Seeing that Cui Jiaren was attacked, Gui Feng hurriedly stepped forward to investigate: "Zhaoyi, are you okay?" And Yuan Ye took advantage of the distraction of the three of them to slip away.
Cui Jiaren shook off the dust on his head: "It's no big deal, go and see General Zhonglang!" ”
Hanako's eyes fell into a lot of dust, and she suddenly couldn't see in pain, and after calming down, she sniffed vigorously: "It's lime!" Trouble the girl to help Hua go and get some oil. ”
Gui Feng begged for some vegetable oil from the roadside shop, and carefully washed the lime from Hanako's eyes. Hanako tried a few times before she opened her eyes with difficulty, and it took a long time for Cui Jiaren and Gui Feng's concerned faces to return to normal from blur. "What kind of prince is this! I even carried lime powder with me! Hanako scolded in annoyance.
Cui Jiaren was still in the clouds at the moment: "General Zhonglang just said that the matter of His Royal Highness King Changle is related to King Puyang, what is going on?" Why is he plotting against you? ”
Huazi said the inside story indignantly, Cui Jiaren was stunned and stunned, and said for a long time: "I didn't expect that there are so many twists and turns in this matter, and now the whereabouts of the King of Puyang are unknown, and it is impossible to search for a prince in the city without His Majesty's order, and it is really troublesome now." ”
Hanako slapped her thigh: "It's all to blame for the carelessness of the flowers, the villain is difficult to prevent, it's really like this!" I knew that he would make this trick, and he should have tied him into a dumpling and carried him into the palace. Now that things have been messed up by Hua, in case His Royal Highness is convicted for this, Hua is really to blame! ”
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and as soon as Huazi mentioned Yuan Rui, he heard his voice: "Zhou Gong! It's really inappropriate for you to let this king out like this! Let's go back and wait for Your Majesty's will! ”
followed by Zhou Zhengzhi's unusually resolute tone: "No! Your Highness must confront him face to face in front of His Majesty, otherwise what if he talks nonsense and charges your Highness with some nonsense? ”
After speaking, he suddenly saw Hua Zidu sitting on the side of the road, surrounded by Cui Jiaren and Gui Feng's master and servant, but Yuan Ye was missing, and he was shocked, and he couldn't care about Yuan Rui and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Hua Zidu: "What about people?" ”
Hanako didn't dare to look at him: "Run...... Ran ......"
Zhou Zhengzhi still couldn't believe it: "Yizhonglang will let him run away with your skills?" ”
Hanako was even more ashamed of herself, bowing her head and saying nothing, pulling the corners of her clothes vigorously, eager to shrink, so small that no one could see herself.
In the end, Cui Jiaren came out of the round: "Since the person has already run away, in addition to secretly sending people to look for it, we should be more prepared in case we can't find anyone, and think about whether there is any other way to rescue His Highness." ”
Yuan Rui slowly approached from the rear at this moment: "It seems that God must have intended to punish this king, and he will not even leave the last chance to confess to this king." That's it! Duke Zhou, send this king back, as usual, this king should not appear here. ”
Zhou Zhengzhi glared at him angrily: "Shut up!" He turned to Hanako and said, "General Zhonglang, why don't you and I face the saint directly, make it clear to Your Majesty, and let him give an order to arrest the king of Puyang!" ”
Hanako dared to refute Zhou Zhengzhi at this moment, and immediately agreed.
But Cui Jiaren interrupted them again: "It's not proper, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, she has been elevated by the Queen Mother for a long time, and her heart has been very depressed. Although he didn't say it, but this palace could feel that he was actually the most taboo about others hiding something from him, if the two adults told His Majesty about this matter, then how to explain the previous move of detaining the king of Puyang? If Your Majesty is dissatisfied with the behavior of your lords, then even if you finally find the King of Puyang and confront His Highness in front of Your Majesty, Your Majesty will unconsciously be more inclined to the words of the King of Puyang. Besides, there is no real evidence for this matter at present, who is who is not entirely based on His Majesty's subjective assumptions, if King Puyang insists that His Highness is plotting rebellion, we are helpless, right? ”
Zhou Zhengzhi was so anxious when he heard this: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should I do!" It's a real rush! ”
Yuan Rui patted Zhou Zhengzhi on the shoulder: "This king is not in a hurry, Zhou Gong, what are you anxious about?" Your Majesty is just momentarily annoyed, this king and his brother for more than 20 years ......" The latter words were not said because they were glared at fiercely by Zhou Zhengzhi.
Cui Jiaren pondered for a long time, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes: "Your Highness is right, maybe you don't have to fight for right and wrong in front of Your Majesty to solve this matter, maybe this palace has a way to solve the danger of Your Highness, but you need to find a good time, if the two adults can trust this palace, don't toss and provoke Your Majesty's disgust in these two days." ”
Zhou Zhengzhi and the others heard that she had a way, so how could they care about what conditions she proposed, so they naturally agreed.
