Chapter 52: Xing Zhongtian
Pu Gonggong's words made the little emperor think for a long time.
He remembered the way he had come and gotten along with Qiu Jue, that woman, he would not let her go no matter what.
Here, Qiu Jue, who waited for a few days and still didn't respond, didn't know how to tell this so-called Huainan Wang Zhengfei at all.
Qiu Chan is also anxious, although her current identity is the young lady of Huainan Palace, she has no power at all, and she is still subject to the constraints of the princess.
The unexpected death of her biological mother made her sad for a long time, but she also became more determined to think that she must not stay in this palace.
It's a place without warmth and even less emotion.
At this moment, she heard that King Huainan, that is, her father, was going to marry the Queen Mother, so she went to King Huainan as soon as possible.
However, she didn't even see anyone, so angry that she fought with the two secret guards outside the study, and although she won, she still didn't see the person.
It is said that he has not been in the house recently.
When I came back here, I saw Qiu Jue sighing sadly, and I felt a little unbearable, "Niangniang, the emperor will definitely come to save you." ”
Qiu Jue didn't worry about herself at all, but was thinking about a problem.
"Did you say the emperor's cold has cured?"
Qiu Chan: "......" What does she mean by this?
"Mo Yi's kid doesn't know where he's gone, and he hasn't even said hello for the past few days, which is really worrying."
Qiu Chan could hear it, her master didn't think of herself at all, so she said angrily: "Niangniang, do you want to marry him?" ”
She has never called the king of Huainan, in her mind, the king of Huainan has nothing to do with herself, not to mention that this time the king of Huainan unilaterally admitted his identity.
She was even more disdainful, so she never called him Father.
"Who?" Qiu Jue is still distracted, the food here is okay, but there are too many women in the yard, and they can't go out of the house at will, which is really boring.
If she continued like this, she would think she was living in the palace.
"King Huainan, he said he wanted to marry you."
"Oh." Qiu Jue waved his hand, "How is it possible?" Hongu will not remarry in this life. ”
She said it seriously, but Qiu Chan was relieved.
In the end, this is also the Queen Mother of the First Palace, even if the Queen Mother agrees, then the Queen Mother must nod her head.
"So what do we do now?" Even Qiu Chan can't leave the house, not to mention that she has injuries on her body now and has not healed.
"Wait." Qiu Jue said very simply, "The emperor will come to pick us up." ”
Qiu Chan didn't say it directly, but what she thought in her heart was that if the Empress Dowager agreed, the emperor would have no choice.
What's more, she had already discovered that King Huainan was in contact with the capital.
That's what I want to talk about.
Now, she only hopes that the Queen Mother can make her wish come true.
After all, the outside world is still very big, and if she stays in the palace all the time, she will have to stay there, which is really unpleasant.
Shanggong Ying lives next to Qiu Jue, so she always comes to visit the door, and the two don't have much to say, it is nothing more than some specious temptation, Qiu Jue found that Shanggong Ying is particularly concerned about whether she stays in Huainan Palace.
She had repeatedly said that she would not stay, but Shanggong Ying seemed to be very worried, as if she would not be at ease if she was here for a day.
This made Qiu Jue very puzzled, obviously when she went to see her in those days, she still hated the king of Huainan to the bone, but it was only a few days before she changed the color, which is really puzzling.
But she is not so curious.
Five days later, at the gate of the Huainan Palace, Li Jingzhi and Master Taifu came together, followed by dozens of soldiers, asking to see the King of Huainan.
When King Huainan received the news, he was in the study, looking at the note.
With a beaming face on his face, he ordered: "Go and tell the princess, in ten days, the king will accept the concubine and let her prepare." ”
The butler bowed and said yes, and then asked, "I don't know which noble girl the prince wants to accept?" ”
Almost all the housekeepers knew about the affairs of the Huainan Palace, but Qiu Jue's appearance was found in the backyard, so he didn't know that there was such a person.
This is the rule of the Huainan Palace, and no one is allowed to ask about the affairs of the backyard except for the eldest lady.
King Huainan didn't care about him, and waved his hand at the moment: "You go and tell the princess, she knows herself." ”
"The rest is up to her."
The housekeeper was confused, and when he went out, he asked the waiting guard, "Hasn't the prince been busy with disaster relief recently?" Which girl do you know again? ”
The guard shook his head, looking innocent.
The butler walked forward leisurely, ready to find the princess.
However, when I walked halfway down the road, I met a person head-on, and I saw that his figure was a little embarrassed, but it was obviously not from the house.
"Stop!"
He shouted, and the person opposite stood still.
With a pair of frightened eyes, a little overwhelmed, but this fear is obviously not because of the housekeeper.
"Who are you? Why here? ”
The butler approached and looked the man up and down, dressed as a bandit, his shoes were all wet, and there were watermarks all the way, he frowned and asked.
"What about the King of Huainan? Where he is, I will see him. ”
"Bold, how can you see the prince if you want to see it, I'm asking you, why don't you answer?"
This man can go all the way here, and the butler does not want to embarrass him too much, but such a person who has no dignity makes him angry.
You must know that the King of Huainan has unique power in these five states, and no one in this realm dares to despise him so much.
The man was stunned for a moment, blurted out, and said, "The eldest brother disappeared for a day and a night, and the eldest brother once said that if he disappeared, let me come to King Huainan immediately." ”
"Who is your eldest brother?"
The housekeeper also heard that something was wrong, so he immediately let the man go, led the way, and said, "I'll take you over, you tell me first, what's going on?" ”
The man's eyes were pure and he looked a little scared, but he still followed behind the butler and told him what had happened.
"My eldest brother's name is Xing Zhongtian......"
On the side path, Qiu Jue and Qiu Chan stopped there, and after a while, when the housekeeper and the man walked away, the two reappeared on the path.
"Xing Zhongtian, why is this person's name so familiar?"
Qiu Jue was a little surprised, she seemed to have heard this name somewhere.
Qiu Chan has a good memory, and after thinking about it for a while, she replied, "The slave knows that it is the leader of the water bandits, yes, that person is called this name." ”
"He said that Xing Zhongtian is missing, that may be the emperor and they have found someone." Qiu Jue analyzed with her, and the two walked in the yard. Now they are in the inner courtyard, but they can move around freely.
As long as they don't leave the house, no one will stop them, except for a few special places, they can walk at will.
It's just that Qiu Jue doesn't like it here, so he doesn't want to pay attention to this mansion, and today's weather is a little stuffy.
It was only in the evening that they came out for a walk.
I never thought I'd hear such a sentence.
Qiu Chan was not very optimistic, and said: "Even if the emperor really catches that person, he will definitely not admit that it was the king of Huainan who did it, and there will still be no one who can do anything to him at that time." ”
Qiu Jue felt strange, "Do you hate King Huainan?" ”
Qiu Chan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "He and the slave are just unfamiliar people." ”
"Forget it, these things are not something we can control."
They turned around in front of them again and walked back.
The butler took the man outside the study and looked around, and although he didn't see the guards, he knew that there were at least ten people hiding around it.
That's why he dared to bring people here.
"Lord Wang, someone is looking for you, saying that Xing Zhongtian has been missing for a day and a night."
"Let him in." The voice of King Huainan came from inside.
After the butler let the person in, he closed the door from the outside and left.
Just halfway through, I met a person in a hurry.
The little guy walked very fast, and he quickly recognized that this man was working in the porter's house, and he was also an inkblot on weekdays, why was he in such a hurry today.
Thinking like this, he forgot to scold, so that the little guy only looked at the soles of his feet, and didn't even see anyone in front of him, and directly bumped into the butler's arms.
The housekeeper clutched his chest and groaned, and stepped back directly, stepping on the bluestone bricks next to the path, and the center of gravity shifted back under the imbalance between the left and right, and fell directly to the ground.
The little guy was also startled, he hit someone but it was okay, and he quickly looked forward when he heard the sound.
I saw that the housekeeper was knocked down, and hurriedly went over to help.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
While helping the housekeeper up, he helped him pat the dirt on his body.
The housekeeper was about to be mad, this kid was really looking for a beating, so he reached out to hit him like this, but the little guy reacted quickly, instinctively flashed down, and let go of the hand holding the housekeeper.
This time, the housekeeper didn't hit anyone, and he flashed his waist, and he accidentally fell forward.
The waist was directly cushioned to the edges and corners of the bluestone bricks, and he screamed in pain.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"
Saying that, the little guy went to help him again, and the housekeeper didn't dare to talk or move anymore, and when he got up, he felt a heart-piercing pain in his ankle.
This made him very uncomfortable, and his feet hurt as soon as they were put on the ground.
"Put me down, my feet seem to be twisted."
The little guy also seemed to realize that he had done something wrong, and he paid for it again at the moment, saying sorry.
The housekeeper was so pained that his old face was distorted, "Go to the doctor, what are you doing here?" ”
The little guy sighed, turned around and was about to run.
The housekeeper thought of Fang Cai's scene, and then looked at his posture of preparing to leave, and immediately asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" ”
The little guy seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then slapped his head, as if he would be smart to fight like this, "Oops, I almost forgot about the business, a group of people from outside the palace took the lead in saying that his name is Li Jingzhi, and he is a general of the Celestial Empire, and he came to meet the prince!" ”
"What about people, people?" He may not have known who Li Jingzhi was before, but after this incident, he became interested in this person.
Therefore, I felt strange at the time, this Li Jingzhi came to Huai'an, and he has been investigating the disaster silver, but he has not seen any relationship between him and the prince.
"Oh, the little one didn't let them in, a large group of people, looking a little scared, Master Liu over there, let the little one come over to find the prince."
After speaking, without waiting for the housekeeper to ask again, he turned a corner and ran away.
