What happened in the study soon alarmed Princess Gong, who wore a coat and her hair was simply tied up at the back of her head, and hurried with a swift stride.

Along the way, the palace people who came to report spoke quickly about what happened in the study.

Halfway through this, the princess hesitated for a moment, "That little guy is still in the prince's study?" ”

"When he was gone, the prince sent him out when the slave and maid left, and gave him a pension of fifty taels of silver, so that he could take good care of himself in the future."

Zhen then lifted the hem of her clothes again and resumed her previous pace, and when she stepped into the courtyard of the study, she heard her husband's voice reprimanding her son.

She listened outside, slightly surprised in her heart - it was already this time, and the prince was still in the study, not going to rest.

The house was a mess.

The ground was covered with broken inkstones and ink, and Shizi knelt down in the middle of the room, his head bowed and his expression could not be seen. King Gong slumped on the slump, his eyes closed, and one hand on his forehead.

Zhen stepped forward quietly, gently pressed his hands on his son's shoulders, and looked at him distressedly.

The boy turned his head away, his face pale, and did not look at his mother.

"Go back and rest." Zhen's hand gently patted Shizi's back twice.

King Gong still lay there on his back, unhindered.

Only then did Shizi stand up, wipe his eyes with his sleeve, and walked out of the door without a sound. After a few steps, the footsteps ran away as fast as they could.

"It's over...... It's all over. Only then did King Gong let out a low sigh.

Zhen saw the letter at King Gong's feet, and thought that it was the farewell letter mentioned by Fang Cai's slave, she leaned forward to pick it up, and quickly glanced at the whole text, and then put the letter paper on the candle flame, the flame quickly licked up, and Zhen casually threw it in the iron basin on the side.

"Lord Wang, take care of your body." Zhen said slowly, she walked to King Gong's side, sat down and beat King Gong's legs, "The concubines have heard about it, Master Hu was suddenly robbed, and he really has his own fate in the dark......"

King Gong pushed Zhen's hand away, he looked at Zhen, and his voice was very low, "No, it's not fate, this is my father punishing him, and he is also punishing me." ”

Zhen showed a puzzled expression, but he didn't ask much, just slightly adjusted the position of King Gong with both hands, and let him rest his head on his thigh.

Zhen's ten fingers didn't enter King Gong's hair, and after some rubbing, King Gong also felt more comfortable.

His eyes were red, with a slight cry in his nose, and he talked to Zhen about his plan with Hu Yishu to test the medicine of the Chengqian Palace.

Zhen suddenly let out an "oh", but the movements in his hands did not stop.

"Then what is the prince going to do now?"

King Gong was silent for a moment, and hugged Zhen's waist tightly, "I...... I'll go into the palace tomorrow morning to ask my father for guilt! Let's just say that I was confused for a while, and listened to slander—"

Zhen gently stroked her husband's back like coaxing a child, and her eyebrows, who had always been smiling, couldn't help frowning slightly at this time, but soon, her expression returned to calm, and she said softly, "The concubine thinks that the prince doesn't need to panic. ”

King Gong's choking suddenly stopped, and he raised his head blankly, "What does the princess mean?" ”

"The concubine feels that since Master Hu entrusted his family to the prince before leaving, the prince should go to the Hu Mansion tonight and bring the women, children, and children of the Hu family." Zhen said softly.

King Gong shook his head fiercely almost immediately, "At this time, I'll go and pick up his family, my father's side...... No, no, you can't anger your father for them. ”

"......" Zhen forced a sigh, lowered his head and smiled, "Has the prince read Master Hu's letter carefully?" ”

King Gong is obviously still immersed in his own sorrow and misfortune," ...... What happened to the letter? ”

In his letter, Lord Hu said so decisively, he must have the determination to bear all the blame for the prince. But he was deeply stuck in the mud tonight, and when he wrote this letter, he probably knew that this letter might not be able to reach the prince, so he flickered in the letter, and the concubine thought that it was to prevent the letter from falling into the hands of outsiders, but it was extraneous. ”

King Gong looked at his wife in a daze, "...... Is it? ”

"Yes." Zhen nodded, "Even if someone wants to use this matter to participate in the prince, they have to come up with evidence." The concubine believes that Lord Hu's meticulousness will not leave any major flaws. You don't know about it, it's all because Lord Hu did something he shouldn't have done for the sake of the prince. ”

King Gong's eyes lit up slightly at this time.

Zhen gently pulled King Gong's folded shoulder, and continued, "Besides, Master Hu is the teacher of the prince after all, even if the emperor really wants to kill his family in a fit of anger, the prince must fight to the death to protect Master Hu's family." Only in this way will you be able to live up to your reputation for benevolence...... Everyone in the world is looking at the prince. ”

King Gong took a few deep breaths, "The princess is right...... Reasonable, this king understands......"

Zhen helped King Gong to sit up, "When the concubine came, she had already ordered someone to prepare a carriage outside, and it was just a matter of cleaning up a few empty houses in the palace and coming out." ”

Zhen smiled, "The concubine is waiting for the prince to come back at home." ”

“… Good! ”

At this time, it was already past night, after waiting for King Gong to change his clothes, Zhen sent it all the way to the gate of the palace, and then stood in the door to watch the prince's carriage go away.

The sound of insects in the middle of the night lingered in Zhen's ears, and the smile on her face faded as King Gong's carriage disappeared around the corner.

Speaking of which, King Gong's appearance and talent are by no means mediocre among the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty - it is not an exaggeration to say that he is skilled and insightful.

However, these are all premises, and King Gong's transparency and intelligence can only be displayed when the wind is smooth. Once he encounters an unexpected crisis, he suddenly becomes irritable and self-serving, unable to make even the most basic judgments on weekdays, and the whole person seems to have lost his mind.

If you can't be calmed down, I don't know how much trouble it will cause.

Zhen finally sighed and said to the maid on the side, "How are the guest rooms prepared for the Hu family are arranged?" ”

"Back to the princess, Xiaohong and the others have gone back and forth, and picked the Fu'an Garden in the west, and they are all ready at this time."

"Fu'an Yuan...... It's a good name, I'll check it out. Zhen turned around and was about to leave, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said to the maid on the side a little tiredly, "Go and help me make some tea." ”

……

There are four cities, two squares and twelve districts in Pingjing, of which the northeast side is full of old-school dignitaries and dignitaries, and the northwest side is full of new nobles and newer houses.

Prince Gong's Mansion is adjacent to the Forbidden City, very close to the Imperial Palace, and not far from the old residence of the Hu family.

When the carriage with the lantern of Prince Gong's Mansion slowly drove into the street where Hu's Mansion was located, the Jinyi guards who were on duty at night had already taken out the impermanence book and quickly recorded the time at this moment.

"Go to the palace and return to the palace, as the saint expected, Prince Gong is coming to pick up people."
