"Lord Yue, this is the prince's bedroom."

In front of a large courtyard, Zhao Wen stopped. At the gate of the courtyard, there was a eunuch on duty, and when he saw Zhao Wen coming, he also brought a high-ranking official, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him with a smile, "Say hello to Zhao's father-in-law, I don't know what my father-in-law is doing here?" ”

"This is Your Majesty's newly sealed Shaobao, Lord Yue, the governor of Henan, and he hasn't seen the courtesy yet." Zhao Wenxian introduced.

"The little one will give Yue Shaobao a gift." The eunuch hurriedly said.

"Excuse me." Yue Su waved his hand. Then, I heard Zhao Wen say: "Lu Yan, you hurry up and go in to spread the word, just say that Lord Yue heard that the prince was sick, and he paid a special visit." ”

"Yes, yes......" The eunuch agreed, and quickly turned around and ran into the courtyard. With a lot of effort, a high-level eunuch ran out, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he bowed down and said: "See Lord Yue, Gonggong Zhao, the prince can't go out to greet him in person because he is ill, so he sent a small one to serve." Two people, please. ”

The person who came was He Lu, a eunuch who specialized in serving Zhu Gongfang, and had a very high status in the palace, second only to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen made a gesture of invitation to Yue Su and said, "Lord Yue, please inside." ”

Yue Su nodded, and stepped into the courtyard door, but Jin Chan still followed in with Shang Fang's sword. He Lu led the way, walked to the door of a large hall, and shouted loudly: "Lord Yue is here ......."

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the hall was pushed open, and the two maids saluted beside the door: "Please say hello to Lord Yue and Gonggong Zhao." The little prince is waiting for the two of them inside. ”

Yue Su nodded slightly, followed He Lu into the dormitory, and when he came to the bed, he saw a young man lying on the bed. When the young man saw Yue Su coming, he struggled to sit up, but Yue Su hurriedly said, "The prince is sick, so don't get up." ”

Zhu Gong expected that Yue Su would say this, just now. Lying on the bed, he pretended to be in pain, and said, "It's really gratifying to hear that Lord Yue has been promoted to Shaobao. If Ben Jue hadn't been ill, he would have set up a banquet to celebrate Yue Shaobao. ”

"Shizi is polite. The lower officials have thanked here, and may the prince recover as soon as possible. Yue Su said politely.

"Thank you, thank you...... Zhu Gongfang immediately said: "Come on, don't you hurry up and show Yue Shaobao a seat." ”

"Yes, yes......" A maid hurriedly brought a chair and asked Yue Su to sit down at the end of the bed.

Yue Su glanced at Zhu Gongfang a few times, and said with a smile: "I heard the prince say that the prince accidentally fell off the horse when he was riding a horse, but I don't know if it's like this." ”

"Alas......" Zhu Gongfang sighed and said, "Benjue's riding skills are not perfect, and he is really ashamed. Because of this, it is really unbearable to involve those servants who were executed by their fathers. ”

When Yue Su heard this, he secretly said in his heart: "If you didn't intend to kill people and kill people, how could you put those servants to death." Thinking of this, Yue Su suddenly felt that something was wrong, "He has already killed that kid, why should he kill Hu Cong again?" Could it be that I know that the child is not dead, but has fallen into my hands, and I am going to track it down today? ”

There are not many people who know about this, Jin Chan and the others are their own henchmen, and they will definitely not leak the news, and it is even more impossible for Ruan Aoyue, Du Shi Niang, Li Qiongying, these female dependents. Mu Tianjiao told herself that she would never leak it again. After thinking about it, that is, on the stands, Zou Jiaren and Wang Linhe, who were sitting next to him, were the most suspicious.

If among these two people, Yue Su would believe whom, then it is needless to say, it is naturally his own master Zou Jiaren.

At present, there is no one to witness, if you forcibly search and bring all the personnel of the palace to the governor's yamen for interrogation, it is not realistic, after all, it is the palace, just by virtue of the sentence "little prince", he does this, he does not have that right. At the moment, he had to say: "The prince fell off the horse and was injured, and it is inevitable that the prince loves his son and is angry with others." It's just ......"

Speaking of this, Yue Su stared at Zhu Gongfang's eyes tightly, and said in a cold tone, "Shizi, do you believe in retribution?" I heard that those innocent people who died unjustly are difficult to look at under the nine springs, and the souls of the wrongs will not be dispersed, and they will often come out to settle accounts with the people who killed them. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gongfang shuddered involuntarily, and hurriedly pretended to be calm and said: "Some people are also destined to be like this, although my father executed them in anger, I am afraid that he will regret it a little afterwards." Later, Benjue will tell his father that he will give more bereavement to their families, and also order someone to burn more paper money for them. ”

"The prince is really benevolent, by the way, the prince of the world, the lower officials heard that a few days ago, the prince had gone out of the city without permission and went to Wansui Mountain, I don't know what to do?" Yue Su asked suddenly.

"Ah......" Zhu Gongqi's heart trembled again, and said secretly: "Fortunately, the news came in time, so I could prepare early, otherwise it would be really lucky." ”

Then he said: "Yue Shaobao, I don't know who you are listening to, the foreign domain went out of the city without authorization, it is a serious crime, how can this lord eat the crime." Such a person who spreads rumors and slanders is really hateful, and I don't know where this person is, and Ben Jue must confront him face to face and make a clear argument. ”

Seeing that Zhu Gongfang was so excited, Yue Su knew it in his heart, coupled with the shiver that Zhu Gongfang hit just now, it already showed that his heart was weak, and it seemed that the incident where the horse hit and killed someone was related to him.

However, the evidence was not enough after all, so Yue Su made up his mind and went back to think of another countermeasure. He didn't pick up Zhu Gongfang's words, arched his hand, and said, "This is the best, and the lower officials won't disturb the rest of the world." Say goodbye first. With that, he stood up.

"Yue Shaobao walked slowly. He Banban, you send Yue Shaobao on behalf of Benjue. Seeing that Yue Su was leaving, Zhu Gong's hanging heart finally let go.

Yue Su left the prince's bedroom, went to Yin'an Palace again, and said goodbye to King Zhou, and then went home.

In a dormitory in King Zhou's mansion, the second prince Zhu Gongxu sent all his maids and eunuchs down, leaving only Gonggong Chen alone.

When the door of the palace closed, Zhu Gongxu couldn't wait to ask, "Chen Banban, how is the investigation?" ”

Don't look at his anxious question, his voice is still very low.

Gonggong Chen came to Zhu Gongxu's side and whispered: "Little prince, the matter has been clarified...... At that moment, he told the news he had inquired about 1510.

Zhu Gongxu listened, was silent for a while, and said: "According to what you say, my eldest brother did go out of the city, no wonder those guards who followed my eldest brother were suddenly executed, and said that it was because they were not well guarded, causing the eldest brother to fall off the horse, and it turned out to be a mouthful." It's not the first time that the eldest brother has gone out of the city to play, he didn't know anything in the past, and there was nothing wrong, could it be that he caused trouble this time, so he was approached by Yue Su. ”

"The prince and that person often run horses together, and there are no fewer deaths and injuries in the city, this time it is estimated that they went to run horses outside the city and killed people, and they were sued by the bitter lord to Yue Shaobao." Chen Gonggong analyzed.

"Are you sure it's outside the city, not in the city?" Zhu Gongxu asked.

"If you are in the city, the prince should not be so nervous, the nobles of the clan, it is not a big deal to kill a person, the main thing is to go out of the city without a will, this crime is relatively big." Chen Gonggong said.

"It seems so. Companion, you said that if my eldest brother's crime is confirmed, what will the emperor do with our family, will he cut the domain? Zhu Gongxu asked.

Gonggong Chen pondered for a moment and said: "It was the prince who left the city without a will, and it was not the prince who went out of the city without permission, and it can be determined that it was not a bad intention, but just a horse and a horse, and accidentally killed someone." The crime was confirmed and sent to the emperor, I estimated that the prince would be reprimanded to some extent, saying that he had no way to teach his son. As for the son, it should not be possible to kill the head, but it is inevitable to take the position of the deceased son, and if you don't do it, you will be imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion. ”

"Really won't cut the domain?" Hearing this, Zhu Gongxu's eyes lit up, and his gaze showed greed.

Gonggong Chen watched him grow up since he was a child, how could he not see the second prince's thoughts, and nodded affirmatively. At the same time, his heart was also excited. Yes, if the eldest prince is overthrown and takes the throne of his son, then the person who succeeds the son is, of course, the second prince. The second prince became the prince, that is, the future king of Zhou, and he would rise to the top and become the most powerful eunuch in the palace. Who doesn't want to climb up, who likes to look at other people's faces, it can be said that Gonggong Chen feels a head short when facing He Lu. The same thing went out to ask for someone, He Lu came forward, others didn't dare to hesitate, he came forward, and sometimes he had to say something small. That's status.

Opportunity! It's finally here.

Not only for Gonggong Chen, but also for Zhu Gongfang. The prince and the prince are completely two concepts, and in the future, they will be demoted to a knighthood, and their power and status will be far apart. In the past, there was no chance, so I could only accept my fate, who called himself born late, not the eldest son. Now the opportunity is in front of him, as long as he betrays his brother, he will be the future king of Zhou.

"Companion, I want to ......," Zhu Gongxu said carefully. But he didn't say it all, just the meaning, and everyone understood.

"Since the little prince has this plan, the old slave will not hesitate to go to the soup." Gonggong Chen said solemnly.

Zhu Gongxu nodded and said, "We can't do this openly, otherwise our father will know about it, and we will definitely die." I don't think it's better to write a letter secretly and put it into the governor's yamen. How to phrase it, you weigh it first, and then show it to me when you finish writing. ”

"The old slave understands."

Gonggong Chen thought for a while and said, "Little Prince, we don't know what happened outside the city, if you scribble rashly, I'm afraid it will make Yue Su suspicious." I don't think it's as good as this, so I'll write it directly, and there is that person who went out of the city with the son. Although he Yue Su did not dare to torture the prince, he would not be soft on others. You can see that he dared to go to the palace to investigate, which shows that he has made up his mind to find out about this case. Wouldn't it be better for him to open a gap in that person and ask the son of the world? No one will doubt our heads. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful......" Zhu Gongxu praised twice and nodded: "That's it!" ”
