The South Wing of the Prince's Mansion

"The princess has arrived in the country of Xu." The guard-like man knelt respectfully under the long table and said word by word.

"Well, it's obviously her person, but she didn't take it with her when she went back to her parents' house, and she was sent to me to serve." The man leaned back in his chair, holding the mung bean cake in his hand and throwing it into his mouth.

"This ......" The maid who was making tea on the side paused for a moment, but continued, "Madame said that she was afraid that you would be too worried, so she asked the slaves and maids to come and serve her." ”

"Well, the princess has a heart." As soon as the man waved his hand, the maid making the tea fainted. The man who had just been half-kneeling appeared behind her and helped her to a chair to the side.

The guard looked to be in his early twenties, and he was very handsome, but like the man, he had no expression on his face. After setting the maid in place, she walked over to the bookshelf and turned one of the decorative vases on the shelf. The bookshelf was silently removed, revealing a narrow door more than one person high, and the man known as the prince put down the book in his hand, put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in place, straightened his clothes and walked in, and the guard checked the situation in the room, and then followed in.

After entering the secret passage and passing through a long corridor, you will directly see a door, and the guard walks quickly to the front and pushes the door open.

"See Gongqing Wangye." As soon as the officials in official uniforms who sat around the long table saw the comer, they hurriedly got up to salute them.

"I have called you here today, and I have something to discuss with you." The prince didn't answer, and walked directly towards the main seat, "This year's spring festival is the first sacrificial event hosted by our little emperor since he ascended the throne, as the brother of the little emperor, this king naturally has the obligation to protect the safety of the emperor and the queen mother." At the same time, it is also necessary to make this sacrificial event go smoothly-" Prince Gongqing turned his words, looked at the chubby official in civilian clothes, and asked, "What do you think, Lord Liu?" ”

"Gongqing Wangye's words are reasonable." The official stiffened and replied tremblingly.

"Naturally, it makes sense." Prince Gongqing squinted, "Nanhu, the head of the household department, how is Lord Liu's relationship with him?" ”

"All of them are my ministers of the South Wing, and they are naturally ......"

"Alright, what are you saying here?" Prince Gong tilted his neck impatiently, "I know that Nanhu relied on the nepotism of the Queen Mother to get to his current position, and this king is still wondering, how can a man who has no brains, no means, and no background can make trouble for this king." Lord Liu, Lord Liu. Prince Gongqing grabbed Lord Liu's collar, brought him up in front of him, and said, "This king has never been afraid of others coming to make trouble, and he has never been afraid of making trouble for others. This king has never forced you to follow this king, but you should never fail to live up to this king's trust. You can fail, but you should never betray the King. ”

The expressionless guard took the knife handed over by Prince Gongqing and wiped it clean. The silent space was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"Nanhu is too idle, find him something to do." Prince Gong sneered, "Our Empress Dowager is a very possessive woman, and even the other women of the former emperor can't stand it, let alone a small household servant. ”

Three days later, Nanhu was drunk in the back garden of the palace and mingled with the palace maids in the queen mother's palace, and was bumped into on the spot by the emperor and the queen mother who got up early to take a walk in the imperial garden. The palace maid was executed on the spot, and Nanhu offended the palace and was dismissed from the post of household servant and demoted to a commoner.

It was seven days later for Alain to see his beautiful sister who had come up the mountain that day. Alain has become accustomed to sleeping against the wall every day. Afraid that she would catch a cold, Ah Cheng hung a cotton blanket on the wall.

"Alain." The monk came out of the meditation room, passed by the little girl who was squatting on the edge of the flower bed and digging the soil, and walked to the front yard, saying as he walked: "Someone came to pick you up today, pack up your things and wait in the room before noon, don't run around." ”

"Pick me up?" Alan got up and chased a few steps curiously, and asked loudly, "Master, who will pick me up?" Where to pick me up? Do I recognize him? Is Brother Ah Cheng with me? ”

The monk stopped, didn't look back, paused, and then said, "Your family came to pick you up, and he went with him." ”

The girl holding the small shovel in her hand looked at the monk's distant figure and was stunned, and muttered, "My ...... Family? ”
