Chapter 25: Meet Again
The palace is full of lights and is very lively. Emperor Lin rewarded the three armies outside the Qiankun Palace, and all the meritorious people were rewarded for their meritorious deeds, but the king had not yet arrived.
Nearly dusk, a gorgeous carriage dressed in the afterglow of the setting sun slowly drove through several palace gates, straight into the inner city of the palace, and no one stopped it. Speechless, he looked at the handsome man sitting opposite, morning to dusk, this is what he said...... Degree? It seems that Zongzheng Wuwu hates entering the palace more than her!
"Huh-" The carriage traveled to a secluded palace road in the inner city, and suddenly a man in black appeared, knelt down to stop the carriage, and said with an anxious expression: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have something important to report!" ”
As soon as Zongzheng in the car heard this voice, he knew that it was the personal guard of the Nine Emperor Prince, and he couldn't help frowning, and said, "Speak." ”
Leng Han hurriedly said: "Lord Qiqi, His Royal Highness the Ninth was angry with Long Yan because he refused His Majesty's marriage, and was scolded by a hundred rods and imprisoned in the Meditation Palace. "The Palace of Meditation, a place dedicated to the seclusion of princes or princesses who have committed major mistakes, usually those who enter it, even if they can come out alive, only have half a life left.
Zongzheng's face changed slightly, and he said, "When?" ”
Leng Han replied: "Half an hour ago." ”
Zong Zheng asked again, "He...... Where is Your Majesty now? ”
"Back to the prince, Your Majesty is in the imperial study."
Marriage? was shocked, the Nine Emperor Princes were on her list, if it was a marriage, it must be related to her! Emperor Lin is the king of a country, since he has responded to the deadline of half a year, even if he doesn't want to abide by it, he shouldn't break his promise so openly, after promising her that she can choose her husband personally, but he is the master of marriage! Could it be ...... Has this changed? She expected that the time of freedom would not last for half a year, but she did not expect it to be so soon, less than three months. Is she really going to get married so soon? Unconsciously raised his eyes to see Zongzheng worry-free, I saw that his sword eyebrows were lightly locked, and he happened to look over, and he knew that not everyone could enter the imperial study, so he got up and said, "You go, I want to go down for a walk." ”
Zong Zheng Wuwu nodded after thinking slightly, took out a delicate jade plaque from his arms and handed it to her, and said, "The dinner is set up in Yiqing Palace, you can hold this token and find someone to take you over first." ”
Man Yao took the jade card, the jade body is green and transparent, cool and moist, at a glance, you can know that it is the best jade, there is a "leave" word engraved on it, she held it in the palm of her hand, smiled and nodded and got off. Zong Zheng Wuwu kept looking at her, his eyes were so deep and endless that he couldn't see his thoughts. The curtain was lowered, and the carriage headed straight for the direction of the imperial study.
It's a remote place, but the scenery is excellent and it's quiet. Manyao clenched the jade plate in her hand, and watched the carriage disappear from her sight with the perfect immortal man in the car, and suddenly felt a sense of confusion in her heart. She stood quietly in place for a while, and then, walking slowly along the palace road alone. Thinking of the marriage, I felt a little irritable, and I no longer had the indifference and meaninglessness when I first entered the capital.
I don't know how long she walked, it seemed that she was getting more and more remote, she wanted to find someone to ask for directions, but there was no one around, so she had to walk further, at this time, there was a faint sound of conversation coming from a palace wall on the right hand. She paused, listening.
A man said: "The Wuxiao Gate has been destroyed, I am afraid that in the future, no matter how much money we pay, no one will dare to take this business." ”
The voice...... It's the prince of the kingdom of Lintian! Those men in black were indeed sent by him.
Another said: "Yes, I can't imagine that the power of the king in the dark is so strong!" Prince, Weichen has something unclear, since the king knows that this matter was done by the prince, why did he suppress this matter so easily? ”
The prince said: "Lord Yu doesn't know, back then, Yun Guifei was the only pet in the harem, there were countless people who wanted her life, she was assassinated during her pregnancy, the prince's mother lost her life to save her, Yun Guifei promised her mother that she would take good care of me and keep me safe in my life before her mother died." ”
Yu Dadao: "I see! In this way, the king must follow his mother's wishes, and he should not compete with the crown prince for the throne. ”
The prince said: "Lao Qi is unintentional on the throne, but my father wants Lao Qi to take over the imperial power, if he doesn't die, sooner or later the prince will be cut off from the position of prince by his father, demoted to a concubine, and even his life is not guaranteed." Therefore, the seventh must die! ”
Lord Yu said: "Early this morning, Your Majesty received a letter from Emperor Qiyun, and the people of Qiyun Kingdom were very dissatisfied with the rejection of Princess Heqin, and asked our country to give a reasonable explanation and implement this matter as soon as possible. Your Majesty is already in a state of flux for this, and will definitely find a way to force the king to marry Princess Rongle. If this marriage really happens, it will be a big disadvantage to you, the prince! ”
"There's no need to worry about that. With Lao Qi's temperament, what he doesn't want to do, it's useless for his father to do anything. Hmph, my father wanted to help Lao Qi cultivate power, but he didn't know that people didn't appreciate it at all. ”
"Then who does the prince think His Majesty will give Princess Rongle to this time?"
"The father naturally wants to give it to Lao Jiu, Lao Jiu is Lao Qi's person, he married the princess and got the strong backing of Qiyun Kingdom, which is of course beneficial to Lao Qi. However, according to the estimation of the crown prince, Emperor Qiyun should be more inclined to the famous general Fu Chip, who returned from the great victory of destroying the Beiyi Kingdom. ”
"The prince's analysis is extremely good! Fu Chip has been named the 'Great General of the Patriotic Nation', and if we can win him over, your position will be even more secure. ”
"Well, it's up to you to arrange this......"
Manyao was shocked when she heard this, it turned out that the imperial brother had learned about this and came to the country, but she didn't know at all, she had been staying in the palace these days, and she didn't know anything about the outside world! What the prince of Lintian Kingdom said is right, if you can't be in harmony with the king, the royal brother will definitely choose Fu Chip, the rumored young famous general who is full of evil spirit, brave and unmatched, and scheming! And she has no choice, unless...... Zongzheng has no worries and changes his mind. Thinking of this, Manyao's heart was shocked, what was she thinking, she actually hoped that Zongzheng would marry her! Why is there such a hope? It's because I'm familiar with it, so I feel relieved. She laughed to herself, and was about to leave, when she accidentally kicked the gravel, making a slight noise, but alarming the people inside.
"Who?" The two princes within the palace wall stood up in shock, and immediately jumped out of the wall to check, but they didn't see a single figure.
In the other palace wall next to it, on the tall trunk of the tree that was obscured by dense branches and leaves, the man who had not yet reacted to the fact that he had been brought here was covered his mouth with his hand, and his eyes widened. She couldn't see the person behind her, but she could sense that the other party had no ill will.
"It's strange, I heard a voice just now."
The prince said: "It's so remote here, there shouldn't be anyone, maybe ...... It's that we misheard. Let's go, the dinner will start soon. ”
Manyao listened to the heavy steps gradually moving away, still motionless, very quietly on the trunk of the tree, and the man behind him slowly lowered his hand, and did not make any movement. After a while, a voice came from outside the palace wall again: "Prince, it seems that we really heard it wrong." ”
"Yes. Let's go. ”
He curled his lips slightly, until he was sure that the prince and the two had really left this time, then he turned his head to look at the person behind him, and at this look, he couldn't help but be surprised: "It's you?!" ”
