Hidemitsu and the others left Kyoto the day after that. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After spending about a day or so on the return trip, they returned to Osaka Castle from Kyoto.

After a good night's sleep, Hidemitsu was thinking and planning how to tell his brother Hideyori about the Edo riots and the inside story of his trip to Kyushu, but just as he was thinking about this, Shocho suddenly told him something.

"Ah, Your Highness, you woke up so early."

At this time, Shang Chang suddenly entered the interior of Xiuguang's room.

Early in the morning of the second day after returning to Osaka Castle from Kyoto, Hidemitsu got up from the bed early, and was now thinking about how to explain everything he had done to his brother on the table.

"Ah, Shang Chang? What's wrong? ”

Xiuguang came back from his thoughts, and was a little surprised by the sudden arrival of the long,

"It's really strange. Although you are usually an early riser, it is very strange that you got up early to come to me today. Think about that guy Xiuzong, I guess he's still sleeping. ”

Xiuguang subconsciously looked outside, and said with some jokingness:

"That guy is obviously angry with Di Xiugao because of something now, and he doesn't know how to make amends...... I really don't know what to say. ”

"Haha, yes."

Shang Chang is not very good at this kind of topic, so he touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly and brought the topic over.

"Your Highness, today, I actually have something to report to you."

"Things? Could it be something that happened in the castle when I was in Kyoto? ”

Xiuguang listened, his brows furrowed slightly,

"Won't it be Youle or Changzheng coming to my side to explore the wind? Or did they go to the elder brother's side to explore the wind? ”

"No, no, it's not Brother Nagamasa's business this time......"

Shang Chang shook his head,

"Actually, it's a little thing about the city...... But I've always felt that something has been wrong lately. ”

"The atmosphere is wrong? Did something happen? ”

"Hmm...... The evening before yesterday, Lord Hideyori had come to Your Highness's side once. ”

Shang Chang recalled the events of the day before yesterday and the atmosphere of the past few days, and described the strange atmosphere in Osaka Castle in the past few days to Xiuguang, who was not present at the time:

"On that day, Lord Hideyori came over and asked Your Highness about your physical condition. Actually, it wasn't anything, but at that time, Hideyori-sama felt as if he was inexplicably angry, although he didn't show it...... Moreover, Hideyori-sama was always followed by a maid, and the maid did not look very pleasant. ”

Shang Chang himself didn't know exactly what this subtle atmosphere was, so he could only try his best to describe it,

"Then, yesterday I heard from the mouths of the people that Hideyori-sama secretly ran to Senhime-sama's residence that day, and then Madame seemed to be in a hurry, and immediately asked Daizo-sama to find a reason to take Hideyori-sama away. So I guess Hideyori-sama might be angry about this...... But I don't quite understand why the maid who followed the adult was also unpleasant......"

Shang Chang couldn't figure out many of the things, so he was very puzzled, and at the same time a little suspicious, so he solemnly reported it to Xiuguang respectfully as a serious matter.

"Moreover, the atmosphere of Madame is a bit strange these days. No, it should be said that the people around Madame are also weird. It felt like something was being discussed. ”

"Eh, this kind of thing happened when I was gone?"

Although Xiuguang didn't think it was a big thing worth noting, he also thought it was quite important, and he was very interested in it.

After all, Xiu Yori took the initiative to find Chihime, but it's a rare good thing.

Hidemitsu knew that his brother Hideyori was actually more concerned about Chihime who lived in the depths of Osaka Castle, but because of various studies and the hindrance of his mother, Mrs. Yodo and a handmaiden, he could hardly meet Chihime in private.

Although Chihime is Hideyori's main room, the two can't see each other often.

When I think about it this way, I always feel that in a sense, whether it is Hideyori or Chihime, there is some inexplicable sadness.

Xiuguang has also been sad about this.

So if the elder brother Hideyori sneaks away to see Chihime, Hidemitsu will undoubtedly support it. Not only did he support, but he was also very happy about it.

But the mother, Mrs. Yodo, and a close attendant don't think so.

"Haha, it's a good thing that my brother went to see Master Ah Qian in private."

Xiuguang said with a smile.

However, although it is so relaxed on the surface, Xiuguang still has doubts in his heart.

For example, what Shang Chang just said, why did the maid who followed behind his brother Xiulai also exude an unpleasant aura? Also, what is Mother Lady Yodo discussing with her cronies?

Although Shang Chang is not very smart when it comes to emotional matters now, Xiuguang still believes that Shang Chang has a sense and grasp of something as unnecessary as the atmosphere.

"By the way, Shang Chang, what's the name of that maid?"

"I don't know much about that...... At that time, I asked Hideyori-sama, but Hideyori-sama only brought it very lightly, saying that it was just a personal maid. ”

"That's right."

Lady-in-waiting...... That should be easier to find. After all, although there are many handmaidens in Brother Xiulai, the real personal maids can still be counted clearly with two hands.

Well...... However, if the maid was unhappy about it after her brother Hideyori went to see Chihime in private...... It is estimated that eighty percent of them like Xiulai...... Although I don't know if it's really a liking.

Now that this matter has been figured out the problem behind it, the next thing left is to find out what the mother has been discussing recently.

"Shang Chang, you did a good job, hard work. I'll figure it out next. ”

After habitually patting Shōcho on the shoulder and signaling that he was doing well, Hidemitsu temporarily put aside the consideration of telling Hideyori about the Edo riots and the trip to Kyushu, and decided to find a way to find out what his mother and her cronies were discussing first.

"Well...... It shouldn't be a big deal, right? ”

Although he said this, Xiuguang still had some inexplicable doubts and worries in his heart.

While thinking so, Xiuguang stood up from the table, opened the sliding door of the room, and shouted to the person who was dozing outside:

"Hey! Hyogoro! It's time to wake up! ”

Walking in front of Xiuzong, who was still rubbing his eyes, Xiuguang cheered up and looked at the scenery outside,

"There's something to do again."
