Chapter 55: The East Palace

When Xiao Shao and Cui Rang were entangled, Wan Ying's arrival broke the silence in the room, Wan Ying silently handed Xiao Shao a bamboo tube that had not been sealed, and the eye-catching auspicious cloud pattern on the seal made Xiao Shao's brows wrinkle together unconsciously, and it really didn't stop for a moment.

Cui Rang has been a henchman of King Yan for many years, so he naturally understands what the auspicious cloud pattern on this seal represents.

Emperor Xuanwu had embroidered clothes to help him listen to the news, and Xiao Shao naturally would not let himself be deaf and blind when he left Jinling, and Wan Ying was responsible for finding out the news for him.

When Lian Zijin and Xiao Zhang, who had just been named the king of Chu not long ago, wrote a letter, they all knew that they had to intentionally or unintentionally set out some news about Jinling, and Xiao Shao's sources would only be more secret and extensive.

The seal of the auspicious cloud pattern here does not mean that everything is going well, but that the news is extremely urgent and important.

Pulled out a note, and only four words were written on it: "Qingguan Fengxue".

Xiao Shao took a deep breath and handed the note to Cui Rang, these four words were too heavy.

Qingguan is the lord of the green palace, the east lord wood Feng Qing Emperor, so the green palace has the meaning of the east palace, the lord of the east palace is the prince, as for the snow is more simple, the wood is dry when the snow is dry, it is the image of the cut off of vitality, either the prince is seriously ill, or the prince has encountered a major event related to life and death.

Thinking of Emperor Xuanwu's trust in the crown prince, Xiao Shao felt that the possibility of the prince encountering a major event of life and death was almost zero, and Cui Rang also meant this, Emperor Xuanwu has believed in the prince over the years, and the probability of losing his heart and abolishing the prince is lower than the possibility of King Yan ascending the throne, but in addition to the emperor wanting to abolish the prince, what other major events of life and death can the prince encounter.

Thinking of this, Cui Rang asked, "Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince been in good health recently?" ”

"What I can know, even if the prince is really bad, there will be no rumors exposed." Xiao Shao smiled bitterly, the prince's physical condition is the same as the emperor's body, how can it be possible for them, the vassal kings who are still there, to know that they are guarding against it.

Before Cui Rang could comfort him, he heard Zijin's voice sound outside the door, "I have something important to look for Aya, why are you blocking me from entering." ”

"The king is discussing in the house, and it is inconvenient to see the lady, so the lady may wish to come back later." It was a rather unfamiliar female voice that answered, not the previous guard, which made Xiao Shao extremely dissatisfied.

Knowing that he was discussing matters in the study, that group of guards actually dared to leave their posts without permission, they must have been used to being casual, if the spies on either side listened to the content of their discussion, I was afraid that the next moment the Yan Wangfu would be scattered.

"When did you transfer to Aye, and how come I never met you?" Zijin outside the door looked at the woman in front of her with great interest who looked gentle but slightly cold, and the girl's intuition told her that this woman was not simple, "Aya has always let the guards guard the door when he is deliberating, when did it take your turn for a little female envoy to come to Aye's door and stand?" Pu Jia, you came out of the palace, take her down and ask, who gave her the courage to come to Yanwangfu to spy on the military situation, the Liao people have been moving frequently recently, can't she be a spy of the Liao country? ”

Zijin smiled evilly, watching the maid's face become whiter and paler, "Just don't kill her, I'm still waiting to take her to receive the reward." ”

"Big lady, the slave is wrong, the slave is just a ghost, not a spy of the Liao Kingdom!"

The maid's sharp cry for mercy made Zijin wrinkle her face uncomfortably, dodging the maid's hand grabbing her, Zijin said coldly: "What are you waiting for, this assassin is going to do something to me, and none of the guards have heard the movement, it can be seen that it has been plotting for a long time, and I haven't brought it down for interrogation!" ”

Pu Jia was silent, bowed her head and said "No", and then stunted the "Liao State Assassin" in front of her with a hand knife.

The eldest lady's ability to reverse black and white with her hands, no matter how many times she has seen it, she can't adapt to it.

Xiao Shao, who was in the house, heard Zijin put the hat of the Liao State assassin on the maid in a few words, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Wan Ying: "You go and deal with that maid and let the eldest lady come in." ”

After Wan Ying saluted, he walked out of the house with a cold face, repeated Xiao Shao's words to Zijin, and dragged the maid out of the courtyard.

Let Pu Jia wait outside, Zijin straightened his sleeves and Shi Shiran went inside, saluted Xiao Shao and Cui Rang respectively, and then pulled out a letter from his sleeve.

"Today, the letter written by the little uncle and his son arrived, and it mentioned something, and he thought that Aya should be interested," and gave the letter to Xiao Shao with both hands, Zijin explained, "The little uncle said that the uncle was closed to the guests, and he hadn't seen the uncle for almost a decade. ”

After Xiao Shao read it, he nodded at Cui Rang, returned the letter to Zijin, and rubbed Zijin's hair, "You did a good job in this matter, Aya still has something to talk to Mr. Cui, can you go and play with your eldest brother first?" ”

Although Zijin wanted to complain that Xiao Yu was following Dugu Lin in class, she also knew that this was just an excuse to support her, even if she wanted to stay and listen, Zijin didn't stay longer, she knew a lot about Xiao Shao's teaching habits to her, if this matter was suitable for her to know, Xiao Shao would definitely let her listen or relay it to her, but if Xiao Shao felt that this matter was not suitable for her to know for the time being, it would be useless for her to hold Xiao Shao and sprinkle it.

Therefore, Zijin left without nostalgia, but Xiao Shao hesitated a little, "You say, does the eldest lady know something?" ”

Otherwise, how could he deliberately come over to tell him the news that the prince might be seriously ill, and he didn't even have any doubts about his cold performance.

"The minister felt that it was not so much that the eldest lady guessed it, but that the eldest lady felt it, and then subconsciously cooperated with the king's actions."

"According to what Mr. said, it is my father and daughter who are connected." Xiao Shao said with a smile.

Cui Rang didn't suspect that he was patting on the back, and said, "It should be like this." ”

Whoever is said to have a tacit understanding with his children will be very happy, and he will be even happier if this child is the one he likes the most and has high hopes, Xiao Shao is like this now, although he still has to deal with these bad things, but his interest is obviously much higher.

"If you say this, it makes sense for the prince of Weiguo, I think he is very sick." Xiao Shao sighed.

Speaking of which, he is still a princeling on the surface, and the prince, as the eldest brother, does not say anything to their younger brothers, although he is a little confused in women, but it is harmless for a politician. Now that he is sick at a young age, Xiao Shao really feels a little sorry in his heart, after all, if the prince can become the emperor well, he will definitely not make any small moves, and he is convinced by the eldest brother of the prince.
