Chapter 010: The Holy Lord's Heart
When the door of the third private room on the second floor of the Qinglian Pavilion Teahouse was suddenly slammed open, a black-clothed masked man fell to the ground and couldn't move, and another handsome-looking boy walked in, which also startled the two men who were talking inside.
After all, for these two men, there were obviously two plainclothes royal guards guarding the door, how could they easily be broken in?
These two men are none other than the current saint Murong Haotian and the prince Murong Haolong, who have just returned to the imperial city from a private visit in Weifu.
They were supposed to come back a day or two late, but yesterday afternoon they received an urgent flying pigeon message from the Queen Mother and the Princess, saying that a Princess Lotus had just come to the palace, which was quite strange, and asked them to rush back as soon as possible to discuss how to deal with it.
After receiving the secret letter from their respective mothers, the saint and the prince felt that the matter was very important, and fearing that there was fraud in it, so they set out overnight and rushed back before noon.
Originally, they planned to go back to their homes to ask their mother what was going on, but they didn't expect that after entering the gate of the imperial city, they heard that the streets were all over the street talking about the news about Princess Lian, and there were different opinions, all kinds of things, so that the saint and the prince were not sure which statement was true.
There are even people who privately analyze that the Queen Mother and the Concubine have always been competing in secret, saying that the Queen Mother has been trying to find a way to install her own people into the palace, and the Queen Mother has politely rejected the princess candidate introduced by the Queen Mother many times, so maybe this Princess Lian was found by the two of them themselves, and deliberately acted in front of each other.
If the Queen Mother found it, it was to take the opportunity to install her own people into the palace to spy on the prince and concubine.
And if the concubine found it, it was to use this fake princess Lian to prevent the queen mother from having an excuse to introduce the princess into the palace once and for all.
After listening to all kinds of discussions from the people in the streets and alleys, the saint and the prince felt that this matter had become very tricky.
If this princess Lotus is really not the queen mother or the concubine deliberately arranged it, then I am afraid it will be difficult for them to ask the real reason after they return home.
Maybe they will be used by their respective mothers to make Princess Lian's affairs even more out of control.
Because in the secret letter they received before, the mothers of both sides did not mention that Princess Lian was arranged by herself.
Since both mothers have hidden something from their son, it is not impossible that there must be some conspiracy in it.
Over the years, the queen mother and the concubine have known the trick of fighting in the dark, and they have also privately advised them to stop, so as not to hurt the sisters' harmony.
But the Queen Mother and the Concubine didn't listen to it at all, and they also knew that the Holy Lord and the prince brothers had a deep relationship, and often teamed up to ruin their plans to deal with the other party.
Gradually, in order for their plans to deal with the other party to succeed, the queen mother and the concubine began to learn not to tell the truth to their sons, and even used their sons to mislead the other party with lies, so that the plan could be implemented more smoothly.
After having several similar experiences, the Holy Lord and the prince no longer dare to fully trust their mothers, unless they see it with their own eyes, even if their respective mothers say it wildly, they will not easily believe it.
Therefore, at this moment, the saint and the prince could not help but suspect that this princess lotus was really deliberately arranged by the queen mother or the concubine to enter the palace, for the sake of prudence, they planned not to return to the palace to see their respective mothers before finding out their mother's intentions, so as not to be used by their respective mothers again, and eventually harm their brothers.
Especially the saint didn't dare to go back to the palace to see the queen mother, because the storyteller said that the queen mother planned to let the emperor decree marriage and fulfill the prince and princess Lian.
Therefore, before figuring out what is going on, the Holy One will not decree marriage, in case this unknown princess Lotus has a false name and has other plans, wouldn't it hurt her brother?
And the prince is also worried that this princess lotus is a fake princess that his mother casually found to deal with the queen mother, in case he goes back to see his mother, if he has to force himself and the fake princess to continue acting in front of the queen mother and everyone, how can he be embarrassed.
It was with this thought and concern that the Holy Lord and the prince came directly to the Qinglian Pavilion, wanting to learn about the statement about Princess Lian in this most well-informed field.
According to their many years of experience, every time an unbelievable event happened in the imperial city, no matter how many people guessed in the streets and alleys, there was only one theory among the storytellers in Qinglian Pavilion.
Although the story from the old storyteller's mouth sounds extremely appealing, it is inevitable that it may be exaggerated, and people dare not believe it.
But afterwards, everyone found that the story of the old storyteller was always the closest to the truth.
This is also the reason why the saint and the prince specially came to the Qinglian Pavilion private room to find out.
When they listened to the wonderful story of the old storyteller, they also felt that all this was too absurd, it was simply a mythical story.
Even the fox fairy came out, how is this possible.
At least since they were children, they hadn't really witnessed the appearance of immortals in the imperial city, so it was the first time that they were very disappointed in the storyteller, feeling that they were still overestimating each other, and they came in vain.
The saint said on the spot that he did not believe the old storyteller's statement, he felt that the old storyteller was not a saint, and there would be times when he made mistakes in judgment.
And although the prince admitted that when he was a child, he did fall into the stream in the deep valley of the mountain behind the palace, and was inexplicably rescued ashore before he was about to drown.
Not only did he not see who saved him, but he also lost his memory for a while.
To this day, he still has not fully recalled the details of what happened after falling into the stream, and he also feels that the experience of that day is a bit strange.
But he still didn't believe that the fox fairy saved him, and he couldn't accept that the fox fairy had been saved by himself in the previous life, and then the fox fairy returned to the palace as Princess Lotus in order to repay his kindness.
After listening to the old storyteller's words, both the saint and the prince were glad that they did not go back to the house to see their mother directly, otherwise under the coercion of their mother, it would be difficult to ride a tiger at this moment.
Help your mother unite with Princess Lotus to deal with the other party, I'm sorry brother, it's unjust.
But if you refuse your mother's proposal, if you make your mother sad and angry, it is unfilial.
So they discussed again in the private room to see what to do next.
I also know that I will never dare to go back to my home until I come up with a good solution.
Just when the two of them were at a loss and thinking hard about countermeasures, they didn't expect the door of the private room to be suddenly slammed open!
It also scared the two of them who were concentrating.
Because they had specially told the two plainclothes royal guards guarding the door of the private room that no one should be allowed to come in and disturb them.
In addition, these two royal guards are two of the best in the palace, even if a dozen people attack them, they may not be able to break into the private room and hurt them as they wish.
That's why they weren't mentally prepared at all.
Therefore, when the saint and the prince suddenly saw the black-clothed masked man who fell to the ground after the door was slammed open, they immediately thought of this black-clothed man, who must be a well-trained top assassin.
After all, it is not easy for the saint and the prince who have also received strict training since childhood to quietly subdue the two master royal guards at the door, and still lie at the door to eavesdrop.
And what shocked the saint and the prince even more was that after the man in black fell to the ground, he glared angrily at the man in white.
Because if he can easily subdue the man in black without alarming the man in black, nor the saint and the prince in the private room, it means that the man in white is even more powerful than this top assassin.
And his skills should be much higher than the man in black, so that he can subdue him on the spot so lightly.
Otherwise, ordinary masters who want to get close to the agile man in black can't do it, let alone sneak attack from behind unexpectedly.
Even if the saint and the prince join forces to subdue this man in black, they can't do it as easily as the man in white.
If you don't fight back and forth for dozens of rounds, it is estimated that you will not be able to subdue him at all.
In other words, if the man in black breaks down the door and sneaks in, the saint and the prince still have the strength to fight back, and the other party may not be able to succeed.
But if the man in white had the intention to assassinate them, maybe they would have been two corpses before they could react.
Originally, the appearance of the man in black had already made the saint and the prince feel dangerous, but the appearance of the man in white made the saint and the prince feel a great crisis.
This kind of crisis of facing death has not been experienced for a long time, so neither the saint nor the prince can pay attention to the man in black who fell to the ground and lost his ability to attack, but instead stared at the man in white cautiously, looking up and down.
In the eyes of the saint and the prince, this white-clothed son is handsome, fair-skinned, and his clothes can only be worn by wealthy and noble families, and he is obviously the pampered son of a large family.
But after thinking about it, the saint and the prince still couldn't think of who had such an excellent son in the palace of the dignitaries and nobles in the imperial city.
If there really is, it should have been recommended to the Holy Lord for reuse.
They unanimously agreed that the other party should not be from the Imperial City, and it may also be a low-key and hidden family child who came to the Imperial City for the first time.
And the saint and the prince are sure that the boy in white has no ill will towards them, and should be a chivalrous and courageous knight.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to come to the rescue.
For such talents, the saint is naturally unwilling to miss the opportunity to make friends.
If you can persuade the other party to stay by your side and entrust you with important tasks, it will definitely be a blessing for the court.
Of course, the saint understands that he is a private interview with Weifu, and it is inconvenient to reveal his identity before he understands the true origin of the other party.
Therefore, he plans to get to know the white-clothed boy as a child of a certain family, and when he knows the root cause in the future, he will tell the other party that he is actually the current saint.
Then sincerely invite the other party to stay by his side and assist him in governing the world.
As for the thoughts of the saint, Princess Lian, who was standing opposite at the moment and waiting for the saint's reply, did not know.
If Princess Lian knew that the two men in front of her were the current saint and the prince, she would definitely regret her idea of recklessly breaking in with the intention of making friends.
After all, she intended to inquire about the concubine's detention of Ruxiang's family, how could she let the prince know?
And the prince who was staring at Princess Lotus at the moment didn't expect that this handsome son would be Princess Lotus disguised as a man who was making trouble in the city......
