Chapter 366: Re-enter the Bird Palace
The next day, when the first light of dawn shone on the earth, the East Palace, which was shrouded in the dawn, finally moved, and became the most lively place in the palace.
It is said to be lively, but in fact, there are few people in the hall.
Only one by one the prayer posts were sent in, piled up on the bookcase waiting to be selected.
In contrast, there was unprecedented silence in the East Palace, and the palace people who came and went subconsciously relaxed their steps.
I don't know how long it took, Xu is moved back for more than half an hour, and with Ji Fang's cough, the silent pace of the people in the main palace slowly returned to normal.
Then, the heavy door of the palace was opened from the outside, and the palace people who were waiting for Qi Changrong to freshen up rushed in, as in previous years, after putting down the objects in their hands, they left with interest, and they didn't even dare to take a look behind the screen.
Moreover, no one said that they would stay and serve.
When their eyes touched the white figure that came out from behind the screen, the palace people subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the majesty of the lord of the East Palace.
In the silent palace, Qi Changrong methodically groomed himself.
It wasn't until half an hour later, when the heavy palace door was opened again, that Qi Changrong, dressed in a navy blue robe and wearing a low-key and luxurious jade crown on his head, stood at the door.
Everything doesn't seem to have changed much from nine months ago.
Eat, do homework, and handle government affairs.
Even if there was a gap of nine months in between, when he returned to the East Palace again, everything was back on track.
Until Ji Fang cautiously reminded: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just returned to the palace, do you want to meet with several ministers?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Qi Changrong's eyes fell on the stack of worship stickers next to him.
Zhao Li, Yang Yishu, Wang Zheyan......
All of them are well-known ministers called by the DPRK.
Qi Changrong shook his head lightly, noncommittal: "It's not a good time to see them now, let's burn them." ”
Ji Fang bowed down, took the prayer stickers with a gentle movement, and then burned them clean with a pot of charcoal.
Xu is pity that she just returned to the East Palace, and there are very few twists and turns sent today, plus Qi Changrong is very fast, but in just an hour, today's government affairs will be handled.
Putting down the wolf pen, Qi Changrong moved his shoulders slightly.
The so-called nothing is light, but that's it.
She paused, suddenly remembered something, and asked casually: "The third prince of Chen Guo, is he still in the Bird Palace?" ”
The three princes are not peaceful, who knows what will happen in these nine months?
"Nature is still there." Ji Fang pondered for a while and replied: "One month after His Royal Highness left the palace, the news that the third prince Chen was sent to the Great Jin as a proton has spread all over the world, according to Chen Guo, he plans to take the third prince Chen back to China in three years. ”
Three years?
Qi Changrong narrowed his eyes.
If he really waits for three years, after everything in Chen Guo is settled, what room will Chen Sansi have to go back?
At that time, won't he be completely turned into meat on the chopping block as soon as he returns, to be slaughtered?
"Is this what Emperor Chen meant?"
Ji Fang pursed his lips, although he didn't know why His Royal Highness would ask this question, he still replied truthfully: "The will of Chen Guo brought by the envoy of Chen Guo was indeed written by Emperor Chen himself. ”
Therefore, this is indeed what Emperor Chen meant.
"It seems that Chen Sansi is not as favored as rumored."
Qi Changrong completely understood.
That Emperor Chen really gave up his once most beloved son.
pushed his favorite son away from the center of power, so that he had nothing to do with the court.
And most importantly...... I'm afraid that when Chen Sansi returns to China three years later, the throne will fall into the hands of others.
Chen Sansi, he really wants to live by relying on people's breaths.
"That's it." Qi Changrong shook his head, suddenly stood up from behind the bookcase, stroked his sleeves and said, "Since Gu has returned to the palace, you must always take the initiative to visit the guests from afar who will be neighbors for more than two years in the future." ”
The Bird Palace is very close to the East Palace.
But the meaning it represents is very different.
One is the palace of protons and the other is the palace of the prince.
When he learned that Qi Changrong was coming, Chen Sansi, who had lost a lot of weight, jumped down from the soft couch slowly, and looked a little dark, as if he hadn't slept peacefully for several days.
When Qi Changrong walked into the inner hall, he unexpectedly smelled a strong smell of wine.
When I looked up at the source of the taste, I saw that several wine jars were piled up in several corners of the hall.
Suddenly, Qi Changrong's brows furrowed slightly: "You got into trouble in the Jin Palace?" ”
It shouldn't be!
Didn't she make arrangements at the palace before leaving?
even specially sent the old people who had served by the Empress Dowager's side to protect Chen Sansi's safety.
Looking at it this way, who can provoke him?
When the words fell, Qi Changrong carefully looked at Chen Sansi in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little taken aback in his heart.
I saw that the person in front of her was emaciated, with stubble on his face, and a pair of eyes that were chaotic, as if he was not the same person as the rampant boy in her memory.
Surprised in his heart, Qi Changrong simply asked directly: "Third Prince Chen, I don't know, in this huge Jin Palace, who else can make the person you torture not look like a human and a ghost like a ghost?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Sansi lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, and sneered: "Prince Changrong has good skills, and he can return from Yan Kingdom with all beards and tails, but I underestimated Prince Changrong." ”
"It's a trivial matter, why worry about it?" Qi Changrong found a place to settle down and sat down, in the end, he was a little disgusted with the taste of the hall, and found a place to reach out and push the closed window open.
Suddenly, a blinding light shone in.
Chen Sansi stretched out his hand to block his eyes with some discomfort, and only after the sourness and irritation subsided did he blink his eyes and slowly put down his hand.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Please say hello to Prince Changrong before opening the window next time, otherwise if I am blind in these eyes, Prince Changrong will have to raise me for the rest of my life." ”
Hearing this, Qi Changrong glanced at him: "Say, who made the third prince Chen so decadent?" ”
"It's my father." Chen Sansi was also dry, after drinking for several days, he had already vented the depression in his heart: "I got a secret letter, my father plans to pass the throne to the imperial brother." ”
"Presumably, in a few days, the news of Chen Guo's canonization of the crown prince will reach the Jin Kingdom."
Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that the third prince is borrowing wine to drown his sorrows because of this matter?" ”
Chen Sansi pursed his lips and walked forward leisurely: "My little life is about to be held in the hands of others, shouldn't I worry?" ”
"It's really worrying." Qi Changrong nodded first, and then was very puzzled: "However, is the third prince worried a little too early?" The prince is not a new king, you don't see that there seems to be only one step between the two, but in fact, the meaning represented is very different. ”
"I won't be able to go back to Chen for three years." Chen Sansi lay on his back on the ground: "Three years is enough time for the prince to become a new king." ”
"So what?" Qi Changrong's tone was as calm as ever, and he didn't make too many waves in his heart because of this incident: "If you worry about things in three years now, isn't it too worrying for Prince Chen?" ”
"Don't talk about me." Chen Sansi sighed heavily, and then asked Qi Changrong: "In September of leaving the palace, has Prince Changrong done everything he wants?" ”
He still clearly remembered what Qi Changrong had said to him before leaving.
After leaving, some things are more convenient to do.
For some reason, he had a strange feeling in his heart, and he always felt that Qi Changrong was secretly doing something big that he didn't know.
But when I think about it, I really can't think of what this big event will be.
Related to the Jin Kingdom?
Related to the country of Yan?
Or is it related to all four countries?
"It's almost done." Qi Changrong didn't hide it, nodded calmly, the corners of his mouth curved upwards with a beautiful arc, and said confidently: "Give Gu another year, and Gu will be able to pull out all the moths in the court." ”
Oh, it seems to be related to the Jin court.
Chen Sansi had a headache: "Prince Changrong is in the Yan Kingdom thousands of miles away, and he still cares about the Jin Kingdom, which really makes me admire." ”
"Third Prince Chen doesn't have anything else to say?"
"Yes." Chen Sansi lay on the ground and yawned, with a pair of hazy eyes, full of sleepiness: "I have something to tell Prince Changrong." ”
"What's the matter?"
"You Jin have a spy in the Liang Kingdom." Chen Sansi sneered disdainfully: "I don't know who is secretly doing so many dirty things, in the past nine months, I have received a total of nine anonymous secret letters, the content of which is probably to let me find a way to deal with you together, and then in exchange, that person can let me go back to Chen Guo in advance." ”
Nine letters.
That's one a month.
Even if he turned a blind eye several times, and even destroyed the letter in public, the man still persevered......
This perseverance is truly impressive.
However, Chen Sansi was still not interested.
"Why didn't the third prince agree to him?"
Chen Sansi was very frank: "I know very well that I can't fight you." ”
I can't fight, so there's no need to fight at all.
"It seems that the third prince is very self-aware." Qi Changrong's eyes were slightly bent.
"Could it be that Prince Changrong is not surprised by this at all?" Chen Sansi turned his head to look at her.
"What's so surprising about something you've known for a long time?" Qi Changrong showed a sincere smile on his face: "If it weren't for the purpose of catching this traitor, why would Lone go to Yan Kingdom?" ”
Hearing this, and looking at Qi Changrong's pampered and unfazed appearance, Chen Sansi suddenly didn't know what to say.
A deep sense of frustration rose from the bottom of my heart.
He thought that he had found out the secrets of the Jin court, but who would have thought that the main owner of the family would already know about it, and he had already taken countermeasures a long time ago.
"Calculated on you, Prince Changrong, it should be the saddest thing in that person's life."
"It's just a matter of becoming a king or losing a villain."
Chen Sansi shrugged his shoulders and put one arm under his head: "Prince Changrong has nothing else to ask me except for selling Guanzi?" ”
