Fei Wuji was secretly entered the palace by the King of Chu, and it was already dark at this time. Wuji was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know what was the big deal when the king of Chu summoned him into the palace at this time, so he hurried to the palace in a carriage. I didn't want to be galloping quickly, and a train was slowly approaching in front of me. Wuji lifted the curtain and saw that it was the prince's guard of honor, so he had to get out of the car and stand on the side. As the prince's carriage passed, the prince saw Fei Wuji and stopped the convoy. Wuji had to come up and bow to the prince, and the prince returned the salute and asked loudly: "The young master is in a hurry today, it will be late, where will the young master go?" ”

"The old minister was summoned by the king, and he didn't know what was going on. Because he was in a hurry, he rushed into the prince's car, and hoped that the prince would pity the old minister and forgive the old minister's offense! ”

"I just went to the palace to see the queen mother, the young master is busy with state affairs, what is the crime? I don't dare to disturb it too much, so please go first. "The prince let Wuji go first.

Fei Wuji excused himself, saw that the prince was sincere, and thought that the king of Chu was urgently summoned, so he didn't refuse, so he got in the car and left. Fei Wuji thought to himself all the way: "The prince has always been not very interested in himself, I don't know why he is so respectful today? Even though I was his teacher, he never looked at him in the eye, which was very strange. "I was thinking about this all the way, and in a blink of an eye, I was outside the palace gate.

After Wuji met the King of Chu, his small eyes pondered the complexion of the King of Chu, and saw that the King of Chu's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he was very unhappy, so he became cautious.

"The eyes and ears of the city reported to the widow, saying that the people of the capital were rumoring about the prince. Did Aiqing hear these rumors? If you think about it, there is always something that leaks the news. ”

Fei Wuji replied cautiously: "The old minister seems to have heard about it, but before he can find out about it, he has not reported it to the king. If this matter has some impact on the reputation of the king after it comes out, it will be secondary, but I am afraid that it will reach the ears of the prince, and it will be a little troublesome. ”

The King of Chu was furious, patted a few cases in front of him, and said angrily: "It's all because you don't do things secretly, the soldiers who greeted you are all brought by you, and that uncle, aren't they all your subordinates?" Most of these rumors were spread by the soldiers. Who else? Those women and servants are locked up in the courtyard of the deep mansion all day long, and only they can leak out. ”

Seeing that the King of Chu was angry, Wuji hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Don't be angry first, the king has spread this matter now, mainly thinking about how to deal with it." The old minister wanted to come, and this matter could not be careless. Did the king ever wonder what would happen to the prince when he found out about this? What will happen to the ministers when they find out? These are all things to consider. ”

"This is a widow's family business, what does it matter to those ministers? If the prince knew, would he still dare to rebel? "King Chu was a little unreasonable, and he seemed to be anxious.

"The ministers know that it's nothing, but on the prince's side, it's a little difficult. The king thinks about it, the prince has been established for a few years, and naturally he has attracted some guests and talents, and his wings are full. The prestige of the prince today cannot be underestimated by the king. Wuji nodded and said.

The king of Chu had some suspicions: "Does the prince have different intentions?" ”

"Lao Chen means this, although the prince has no obvious disagreement now, but as soon as this incident came out, the old minister was very worried, and it was difficult to ensure that after the prince heard about it, he was angry, afraid of doing something disobedient. If the king is not guarded now, he is afraid that it will be too late to regret it. "Wuji is fanning the flames on one side, and it is best to take this opportunity to take out the prince and Wu Hao.

The king of Chu said to himself: "The prince is a man who is honest and gentle, and his teacher Wu Hao is also a righteous man and a gentleman, unlike a treacherous person, the prince is not like this." Besides, he is already the crown prince, and the country will be hiss sooner or later, is it necessary for him?"

"Even if the prince is loyal and filial, he is afraid that the group of strategists and guests around him will have some bad ideas and instigate the prince to make trouble, and the king must not be unguarded."

Hearing this, King Chu's heart moved, so he asked: "Then according to Aiqing's meaning, what should I do?" ”

Fei Wuji heard the loosening of the king of Chu, so he admonished: "In case the prince is in trouble, it is better to transfer the prince from the capital first." The prince's departure from the capital is like a fish leaving the water, even if he has that heart, he doesn't have that liliang. The old minister heard that the city father was on the edge of the Chu State, far away from the capital, and it was a military town, so it was better to transfer the prince to guard the city father. ”

King Chu thought for a while and felt that this suggestion was not bad. It's just that the crown prince and master Wu Hao is a Geng Jie, and he is an important minister, and he has a very high prestige in the court, so I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to stand up and oppose it. The king of Chu voiced his doubts.

Wuji said again: "Although Wu Hao said Geng Jie, he is not stupid, after all, the king asked Gongzi to guard the border, and there is also a precedent for this." As the prince of the country, the prince should contribute to the country. At this time, if the prince does not listen to the king's call, it means that he has a clear antipathy and has different ambitions, can he be so stupid? The king doesn't have to worry too much, I don't expect that Wu Hao will not try his best to oppose it. ”

As soon as the king of Chu thought about this truth, he decided on this jihua and decided to summon it in the court on the next day. Let's do this first, and don't give those annoying courtiers a chance to discuss it.

Besides, the prince was on the road to Fei Wuji, originally wanted to visit his mother in the palace, but after thinking for a while, he let the car fight turn around and go to the Taishi's mansion.

Wu Hao welcomed the prince into the main hall and greeted him. Wu Hao smiled: "The prince is visiting at this time, I don't know if there is anything important?" ”

The prince said: "The teacher is above, I have some confidential things to tell sir." He paused. Wu Hao led the prince into the study, made tea and retired from everyone.

"Sir, have you heard about Princess Qin? I heard from the attendant today that I wanted to tell my mother, but when I thought about it, I felt that it was inappropriate, so I came to my husband's place. ”

Wu Hao sighed, shook his head and said: "The old minister only heard about this matter today, and I don't know if it's true or not, but there must be a reason for it, if this matter is true, how should the prince deal with it?" ”

"When I first heard about it, I was just a little suspicious and wanted to tell my mother, but I didn't want to meet Fei Wuji on the way and was summoned into the palace by my father, so I was a little suspicious that it was true, so I turned around and went to my husband's house."

"The prince fortunately did not tell the queen, and the prince thought about it, even if the queen knew about it, what could she do? It's just adding to the troubles. If the king and queen turn against each other, it will also be bad for the crown prince. The old minister wanted the king to summon Fei Wuji into the palace, and he must have heard these rumors in the market and had begun to guard against the prince. In the future, the prince should be more careful and not reckless. At this time, he could not share the certificate with the king, and the prince seemed to not know about it, and since the wood was already in the boat, he ignored it in order to protect himself. ”

The prince was silent for a long time and nodded. Besides, this fake princess has been living with her for some time, and her relationship is getting deeper, and she is pregnant. Even if you go to share the certificate with your father, if you don't say anything about your filial piety, it won't help. I had to swallow this bad breath.

Wu Hao continued to persuade: "The old minister reminded the prince before that he should be more wary of villains like Fei Wuji, and treat them politely and respectfully. These people are all people who will be revenged, so why should they cause some trouble for themselves? It's good to avoid them from afar, as long as the prince can keep his head and stay up until the day he succeeds to the throne, you can treat them however you want, now is an extraordinary time, and self-preservation is the key. ”

"Thank you Mr. for your teachings, I met Wuji on the road today, and I was polite to him. I knew that I was so bad in the past that I would offend these villains, so I also made myself suffer a lot. It's this engagement that is not Fei Wuji's ghost. I also thought that if I can't be provoked, can't I hide? ”

"Hey, I'm afraid it's too late for the prince to hide, please think about it, Fei Wuji knows that the prince has already known about his plan to transfer flowers and trees, and he will definitely be afraid, afraid that once the prince ascends the throne, he will have to settle old accounts with him. In the future, he will definitely be detrimental to the crown prince. Now that the king is bewitched by him again, the prince must deal with it carefully, hiding his foolishness and clumsiness. Staying in the green mountains is not afraid of no firewood, as long as he survives, the old minister will complete his mission. ”

The prince thanked the teacher for his teachings and left to return home.

The crown princess came out and put the prince into the inner bed. The prince said tentatively: "The concubine has gone through a lot of hardships and married me far away, what virtue do you think I have?" Now the elder brother of the concubine, the monarch of the Qin Kingdom, loves the concubine very much, and sent an envoy to our country to visit the concubine. Concubine Ai can go out tomorrow to meet distant guests. ”

The crown princess didn't know whether it was true or not, and she was afraid. The face was unnatural: "Brother Concubine sent a messenger from afar, please ask the husband to meet them, the concubine is already pregnant, there is a lot of inconvenience, and the concubine has been living in the palace, and it is not easy to see outsiders, please treat the husband himself." ”

The prince said jokingly: "The envoy said that he would meet the princess in person, and go back to give an account to Qin Jun, tomorrow I will summon him into the palace, and the concubine will not have to have any hardship, and there is no inconvenience for his own family." ”

The crown princess hesitated for a moment, asked the palace people to retreat, knelt on the ground, and cried faintly: "Today, the concubine will make it clear to the prince that even if she is broken, she will not give up." The concubine was originally a Qi girl, but after being exiled to the Qin State, she was elected to the palace and became the princess's personal maid. On the way, Fei Wuji moved flowers and grafted trees to pretend to be a princess to marry the crown prince, and the real princess and concubine of Qin Wuxiang heard that she was sent to the palace, and she didn't know whether it was true or not. The concubine deceived the prince, the crime deserves death! Today, the concubine has explained this matter and is willing to be punished. ”

The crown prince lifted his waist jade and said with a smile: "Concubine Ai, please get up, I already know everything about this matter, and Concubine Ai doesn't have to be afraid." I don't know how Princess Qin is. In my case, you are the crown princess, and it doesn't matter if she is a princess or not. Concubine Ai is pregnant, so there is no need to worry about this matter. I just need to know about this matter, and the concubine doesn't have to be outside. ”

The waist jade bowed to the ground again, thanked the prince for his insincerity, and loved the prince even more. The prince also treated the waist jade as before, and no longer mentioned the matter.

On the morning of the second day, when they heard that the king of Chu was going to come to the court in person, the ministers went to wait outside the court early. Outside the main hall of the palace, there are many armor soldiers on both sides of the steps, and there are many swords and guns. After the bell and ding hissed in the main hall, the ministers rushed in.
