CHAPTER XLIV
"Besides, I didn't go to someone's house for nothing. Yesterday, my sister and the second prince came to the house as a guest. Everyone in the streets and alleys of the capital knows that my sister thinks about the second prince every day. No, I want to meet what kind of character this second prince looks like. If it weren't for the fairy-like figure, how could it make my sister delusional every day. ”
Gu Jiahui naturally wouldn't tell Wei Mingchen that she had an appointment with the second prince and went to the second prince's mansion to make an appointment. If you really ask about the way to govern the country, Gu Jiahui naturally doesn't understand, she just wants to deceive the second prince. There is only one purpose, which is to make Gu Yanxi heartbroken.
"Don't be too curious, the Second Prince's Mansion is not so easy to enter." Wei Mingchen knew that Gu Jiahui and Gu Yanxi couldn't get along, and he couldn't say anything more.
"It's all simple, I can't get in, I'm just watching from the door. Just to satisfy my curiosity, yesterday the prime minister didn't let me go out, I don't know what these two princes are like. But in the academy he was very quiet. Gu Jiahui felt more and more that Wei Mingchen just didn't want to tell herself, and found all kinds of reasons to go around the bend with herself here, "Brother Mingchen, just tell me." ”
"Okay, but don't get into trouble." Wei Mingchen took out a piece of paper that had never written a prescription, drew a simple sketch on it, marked a few points, and the last big circle encircled the place was the mansion of the second prince.
The drawings were concise and clear, and Gu Jiahui understood them at a glance and was very happy. "Thanks, you're so busy, I won't bother you. I'll go first. ”
To achieve her goal, Gu Jiahui didn't plan to stay longer, and there were so many patients that Wei Mingchen was busy enough. Staying here by yourself is also a hindrance, so it is better to leave.
Following Wei Mingchen's drawings, it was easy to find the mansion of the second prince, which was comparable in scale to the mansion of the fourth prince. It's just that he looks much more elegant, just like the sullen personality of the second prince, and his face is just gentle.
There was a guard standing at the door, watching Gu Jiahui sneaking around, not like a good person, but like a thief. "Who are you? What's the matter? This is not a place you can come to casually! ”
Fierce gods! This is not the Netherworld, what are you doing so fiercely?! Do you really think you're a bull and a horse?
Of course, there is a lot of inner drama, but you can't say it. The old rule: smile on the surface, but laugh in the heart. "Two eldest brothers, I am from the Shangshu Ancient Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, and the eldest lady of our family asked me to send something to the second prince, which should be a thank you gift from yesterday."
"Take out the things, I'll send them in for you!" The guards were still unrelenting.
"Big brother, it's not like you don't know the temper of our young lady. She asked me to serve it with my own hands, and if anything goes wrong, my brother's life will not be guaranteed. I also bothered the eldest brother, reported it, and spared the younger brother's life. ”
Gu Yanxi, a sticky spirit, must have come to the Second Prince's Mansion, with her undisguised character, presumably these people who work in the Second Prince's Mansion also know something about it.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and then looked at Gu Jiahui with pity, "You wait, I'll go and report." ”
It's just done, it seems that Gu Yanxi doesn't do anything good?! Tut-tut, in case the emperor is unhappy one day and asks for the prime minister's head, Gu Yanxi is afraid that there will be no one to protect him.
It didn't take long for the guard to come back again, "You go in!" A poor man, too. ”
Gu Jiahui was embarrassed.
The mansion was very quiet, and no one noticed Gu Jiahui's arrival, but they were busy with their own business, and no one cared.
"You're here?" Just as Gu Jiahui was looking east and west, the second prince walked out. "You didn't play this abacus well, and you actually said that my cousin asked you to send me something. Aren't you afraid that I won't take it? ”
"Don't be afraid, what are you afraid of? Could it be that you dare to refuse your cousin? Isn't the second prince the kind of image that looks cold and indifferent, but is affinity? How could you refuse someone sent by your cousin? Gu Jiahui knew that the second prince would not do such a thing. If he would refuse, how could he still let Gu Yanxi stick to him for so long, but he was indifferent?
"You see me thoroughly, and I won't refuse." The second prince affirmed Gu Jiahui's thoughts, "Let's go, follow me in." There are a lot of people outside. ”
The second prince really prepared everything, took Gu Jiahui into the study, and locked the door. There were two famous paintings hanging in the study, and the second prince opened one of the famous paintings. Below the famous painting is the calligraphy and painting written on the wall, and the seal of the calligraphy and painting was lightly touched by the second prince, and the bookshelf next to it began to shake. When the shaking ended, a secret room passage was revealed.
I really didn't expect the second prince to be so careful. It seems that this house is often used, and Gu Jiahui is not the first person to come to this place. I didn't expect the second prince to want to be the emperor so much, he was not very old, and he had been plotting for a long time. The struggle of the royal family is really not so simple.
"You may be seated."
"Thank you, I didn't expect that there was such a secret room in the Mansion of the Second Prince." Gu Jiahui sat on the stone bench and looked at the surroundings. Even this kind of secret room decoration is not simple, and it is really not something that ordinary people can afford.
"It's just for safety, there is no such secret room in this royal family. Every mansion will have some, you just don't know it. The second prince also said inadvertently that this kind of thing is common among the royal family.
"The second prince of Lao told me about the current form of the court. I'll see what the odds you can get. Gu Jiahui was also unhurried and poured herself a cup of tea, the time is still long, and there is no hurry to chat slowly.
The second prince simply explained the current situation to Gu Jiahui.
Now there are only two people who have the ability to become the crown prince and inherit the unification, one is the fourth prince born to the queen - Zhu Hanyi, and the other is the second prince born to the concubine - Zhu Hance.
As for the queen's other son, the eldest prince Zhu Han can't cultivate the climate, he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and enjoy beauty and wine.
The other princes are also because the strength of their mother's family is not enough to compete with them, and they can't achieve great things.
The mother of the second prince is the prime minister, the uncle is the head of the household, and the uncle is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, which is naturally a unique good thing.
Although the queen is a foreigner, her family power is not small. The prime minister and the general are extremely incompatible, and the general will naturally help the empress's forces.
In terms of family power, the fourth prince may not be as good as the second prince. But the prime minister doesn't know how to restrain himself, and the emperor will naturally not give up his country to others. Last time, the second lady of the prime minister's family, the eldest lady of the ancient mansion, died like this, which was nothing more than to give the prime minister a dismissal.
