Chapter 141: Leaving the Cold
Kaju East City • Prince Huan's Mansion
"Didn't my father tell you to come less in the future, what are you doing when you come to me!"
"Call less, and don't call don't come. You were trapped in the house by your eldest brother's words, I'm really anxious! ”
Gong Wei helped the limping Gong Hu to sit on the soft chair, and waited until the next person left, wanting to say something, but only turned into a wordless sigh.
"It's not because of the palace that I don't come out, it's my father, I'm afraid he ......"
"Yes, now my father's mind is becoming more and more unpredictable." Gong Yu also shook his head, and glanced at his tightly bandaged right leg helplessly, "The bitter meat plan we laid out, when we arrived at the Imperial Palace, I heard that the Lian clan has been quite effective in fighting the epidemic. I don't know whether to say it or not. ”
"It's a good thing you didn't say it, if you spread that set of rhetoric, then even you will be suspicious!"
"For so many years, they have seen you and me as one brother. The father is suspicious and suspicious, and it really doesn't matter......" Gong Yu put away his complaining tone, and his eyes looked at the palace curtain became serious and vigilant, "My father will not move for a moment. Third brother, it is imperative that we solve the stumbling block of the Lian family as soon as possible! ”
"That slut..."Gong Wei heard the word Lian, and immediately gritted his teeth in anger. It was I who underestimated her abilities. In front of Changning Street that day, she said those words to me without any confusion, which frightened me into a moment's confusion, and I actually gave away the muscles and bones. These days, I think carefully about every word she said that night, and every word pierces my heart, which was simply prepared in advance! ”
"It is normal for her to speak to her father that day, and the third brother does not dare to act rashly. She is also really lucky, and someone solves her every time. Gong Yu also clenched his fists and said hatefully, "I only hate that I didn't take care of her when I first met her in the Prince's Mansion that day, it's all the fifth idiot, and it's a good thing to ruin me......"
"Old Five..."
Gong Wei's heart tightened, as if some dark thought flashed through him.
"Fourth brother, do you feel that the fifth brother is getting more and more wrong?"
"Something is wrong...? How do you say that? ”
"I can't say it either, but I always feel that he has something in mind. In front of the palace that day, he spoke for the Lian clan for no reason, which made the palace maid feel anxious and scolded me. Gong Wei's eyes narrowed into a slit like a snake's eye, "It's not the strangest, it's just who told him this, how could he even know that slut has a party member?" ”
"Maybe Lien really turned to him for help? Maybe... Is it the third brother, what did you say that day? ”
"No... None of them. There must be something wrong with that kid. Gong Wei's voice was low and hoarse, "On the day of the Wanshou Festival flame, Xu Jin pulled him in for no reason, I felt that something was wrong......"
"What do you want to do with the past, if the third brother really thinks that idiot is an eyesore, just find a way to cook it." Gong Hao's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of fierceness, "Don't forget, we also have a powerful ally who is struggling in Lihan." ”
Gong Wei took a light breath and slowly looked at Gong Hao. The two brothers pondered for a long time, and a grim and treacherous smile slowly bloomed on their faces.
——
The emperor said yes, after the vigorous epidemic passed, he really didn't trouble me and the people in Taopinlou again. He even made a note to the palace and rewarded the prince's mansion with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
Everyone kept silent about it as if it had never happened.
The most proud is naturally the palace man, he didn't do anything, but he grew a face in the government and the opposition for nothing. Maybe it's because he's happy, or because after this epidemic, he decided that I have no other thoughts about him. On weekdays, in the courtyard where I live, all the guards of the house have been removed, and I can even leave the house as I want.
I was naturally happy about this, and I ran more and more diligently to the peach sales building. Duan Ming was able to see me often, and gradually came out of the grief of losing his axe brother; Wanqiu contributed a lot this time, and Aunt Hua became more and more trusting and dependent, and almost handed over most of the matters of Taopinlou to her; Zhuo Ying's old injuries healed, and he worked harder to calculate the cycle of meteorites; Sarong opened again, and he also regained his role as a red man with the same scenery in Kaju City.
Only Qu Xi, who occasionally called me alone to her room, expressed his fear at Zhuo Ying's plan to sacrifice the axe last time. According to her meaning, such a person who is usually silent and not good at communicating with people, as soon as he speaks, he hits the nail on the head, and makes up such a set of rhetoric that makes the palace curtain mess up, which really has to make people suspicious.
"Qu Xi, you really think too much, I have known Zhuo Ying for more than anyone in the Taopin Building, she is my best friend. She is usually like this, although she is not close to her feelings, but her heart is good. ”
"Knowing each other for a long time doesn't mean that you can see your heart clearly, if you are in a place like Kazhou, you can't talk about friends anymore!" Qu Xi's serious appearance was a little cute, "Bai Xiaohan is also Qiu Weng raised under his subordinates since he was a child, and in the end, Qiu Weng was not calculated by that traitor and lost his life!" ”
"-Hatred raising Bai Xiaohan? How do you know......"
"How could I not know that Bai Xiaohan was the late former banner owner of the Gangfeng Banner and the son of Bai Shayu!"
"The son of Bai Sha Yu...?" I was so shocked that I stammered, "Actually... Is there such a thing? ”
"He was also born in the tail sect, and the head of the tail sect is in the tail sect, and now it's not that he is a rebel." Qu Xi looked at me with strange eyes, and seemed to be very puzzled by my surprised look, "So, that Zhuo Ying girl, you should also investigate it, so as not to fall into someone's trap." ”
"Okay, okay, I won't fight with you about Zhuo Ying." I waved my hand helplessly, "Anyway, I'll put my words here, if I can't even trust her, then there will be no one in this world to be trusted." ”
Qu Xi saw that I was resolute, so he didn't persuade me again. I told Duan Ming about Bai Xiaohan's life experience, and he was also shocked. And when we dragged Sarong out of the pile of men who were eating and drinking, and told her the news, she showed the same expression of understanding as Zhuo Ying.
"An ungrateful dog. Otherwise, do you think that my attitude towards him is just because I can't get used to him being in power? Sarong spat on the ground, "When Qiu Weng brought the surnamed Bai back to the Bishui Banner, I had already learned to become a teacher and became the banner master of the Feiyan Banner. Qiu Weng loves and cultivates him like me, who would have thought that he would be so wolf-hearted and would take revenge! ”
After scolding us severely, Sarong hurried back to the table again. After lunch, I hurried back to the Prince's Mansion. The palace was still in the palace and did not come back, so I returned to the small courtyard by myself.
Because they were busy a few days ago, they have not returned home, but now that they are free, Guan Ju and Pu Jia are very happy, hugging each other and being very thoughtful.
Naturally, I miss them very much, and I talk to them about these days when I have nothing to do. After spending an afternoon talking, the two girls were dumbfounded.
"The third prince is not a person who can be easily bluffed, and when he thinks about it, I'm afraid he will find that the girl is just bluffing."
"When he figured it out, the epidemic in Karju will also pass." I chuckled, "Anyway, I've already torn my face with him, are you still afraid that he will find out my way?" ”
"It's worthy of our girl, the third prince of Tang and Tang, and you have been playing all over the place!" Guan Ju slapped his palms again and again, but the smile on his face faded a minute, "It's just that the slave maid can't understand why the five princes are talking to the girl like that in front of the Xuan Palace?" Could it be that he also wants to invite the crown prince to succeed? ”
"Or maybe he has the intention to join forces with us to bring down the third prince and the fourth prince?"
"He wouldn't have that kind of mind."
Xu was too strange in my casual and determined tone, and Guan Ju and Pu Jia invariably cast a slightly confused look at me.
"The slave is just a random guess." Pu Jia's eyes flickered slightly, and she continued to embroider her sachet, "Regardless of whether the fifth prince has such a mind or not, the third prince has noticed him now, and I am afraid that he has already taken action." ”
Guan Ju's hand kneading my shoulder suddenly stopped: "You mean... How could it be! That's a handwritten letter from the Hou Ye to the emperor! ”
"What handwritten letter? What does it have to do with Hou Ye? "I'm confused and uneasy." Pu Jia, what do you say about the palace curtain to deal with the palace flag? ”
"The girl doesn't know yet!" Guan Ju grabbed Bai Dao, "There is a shortage of food and grass from the cold war. Lihou urgently reported to His Majesty last night, requesting that grain and grass be transferred to the borderlands. The strange thing is that he actually named the five princes to escort the grain and grass to leave the cold! Say what... Boost morale and suppress and intimidate the enemy with the power of the prince! ”
"It doesn't matter if Lihou asks for this, but Concubine Ying is so anxious that she knelt directly in front of the palace and cried begging the emperor not to send the five princes forward." Pu Jia's tone was worried and sympathetic, "The emperor didn't say anything, but he was angry when he made such a fuss about Concubine Ying. Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hear the news early in the morning, and he rushed into the palace to persuade peace......
"What about the palace curtains and palace curtains?"
"The third prince has never been out of the palace since he was reprimanded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace, and the fourth prince was injured in the leg, and it is inconvenient to enter the palace."
"Why did you suddenly give birth to such a thing..."I suddenly sat up straight in a hurry, "Lord Hou was leaving the cold for the palace flag that day, why did he ask the emperor like this?" Concubine Ying has always been dignified, why is she so unbreathable? ”
"Guan Jushi's retelling is already the original words of the Hou Ye, as for whether there is any other reason, the slaves and maids don't know." Pu Jia frowned slightly, "As for Concubine Yingniang, the slave maid thinks that she must know something inside, so she will be so messed up." It is also because of the difference in the behavior of the mother today that the slave maid guessed that the five princes... Maybe there's something unknown in mind. ”
"But he really didn't," I stomped my foot in a hurry, "Lihan has reached the point where he is in a situation where he can ask the court for help, and the hardships and dangers can be imagined." At the moment, Sarong and Qu Xi have not caught Bai Xiaohan yet, if Gong Wei really wants to deal with Gong Wei, then he will definitely die! ”
Guan Ju didn't expect me to be so anxious, so he just looked at me at a loss, and didn't know how to persuade me. Pu Jia seemed to know that my words were not exaggerated, and frowned, and stared fixedly at the vain smoke above the incense burner, turning into thousands of shapes, and finally dispersing invisible.
