Chapter 268: The Imperial Court Intercedes
Not long after the prince entered the palace, a group of people and horses appeared outside the Donghua Gate, which was a galloping carriage with two large lanterns hanging on the front and rear of the carriage.
"It's the carriage of Prince Gong's mansion." The guard guarding the door recognized it at a glance, "Come into the palace and report it!" β
Sure enough, after a while, the carriage stopped far away, and the people stepped forward with umbrellas and helped the people in the carriage to go downβit was Prince Gong and the princess.
The rain didn't mean to stop, Prince Gong jumped down first, turned around to help his wife, but the princess didn't take his hand, but got out of the car from the other side in the rain.
Prince Gong jumped up in a hurry, he snatched the umbrella from the hands of the subordinates on the side, and chased over to cover the princess, the princess had anger in her eyes, "I don't want you to fake here!" If something happens to the prince tonight, you can also take your whip and knock me out of the palace together!" β
Prince Gong was speechless, "What I just said in the car is true, and none of them are lying to you!" I didn't hit him or scold him tonight, it was all about him running out of the blueβ"
"If you hadn't put up a fight in front of him all day and night, and you would have done it with your child at every turn, how could he not have said anything to his family!"
"I'm ......" King Gong choked there, not knowing what to say, but when he saw the princess turn around and was about to go into the rain, he hurriedly held an umbrella and chased after him, "Junping! Junping, wait for me......"
The heavy rain drowned out the voices of the two, and the guards in the distance didn't know what was going on at all, just looked curiously at the prince and princess who were getting closer and closer under the palace gate.
"What's the matter today," the leader looked at his partner on the side a little strangely, "The prince's family, one by one, are running to the palace." β
β¦β¦
In the Heart Cultivation Palace, the prince had already knelt in front of Emperor Jianxi through the gauze tent.
Qiu Shi looked at the chicken-like child in front of him distressedly, and had already hugged a dry suit and waited aside, "Lord Shizi, you just have something to say, let's change your clothes first, right?" β
As if he hadn't heard, the prince still knelt there quietly.
Behind the gauze tent, there was a voice from Emperor Jianxi that was a little choking, "You don't care about him, he is young and can withstand it!" β
From last night to now, the total time that Emperor Jianxi closed his eyes did not add up to two hours - first listened to the Qin Cha of Beigui explain the situation of the gold thief in detail, and then urgently summoned the cabinet to discuss countermeasures, and did not eat the first bite of today's meal until nightfall.
Shizi's eyes were red, his eyes were also red, the grandfather and grandson looked at each other through the gauze tent, and Qiu Shi stood awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and as soon as Qiu Shi heard this sound, he knew that it was the savior who was coming-there was such a big thing in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Huang Chongde naturally couldn't run away.
He had obviously just been woken up from bed, and his hair was not combed as neatly as before, Huang Chongde knelt down next to the prince, and after saluting, he said softly, "Your Majesty, Prince Gong and the princess are also here, waiting at the gate of Donghua Gate to ask to see you." β
Shizi's expression moved slightly.
"Let them wait outside!" Emperor Jianxi said sharply.
"Yes."
Huang Chongde stood up and went out again, and Qiu Shideng became depressed again - too, on the side of the prince outside, Huang Chongde should have gone to see it in person.
When the Heart Cultivation Hall returned to tranquility, Emperor Jianxi's voice sounded again, "What, when you entered the palace today, you came to tell your parents about me?" β
Shizi shook his head again and again, "No, no. My father and mother treated me very well. β
Emperor Jianxi snorted coldly, "What's good, just for that dragon, didn't your father break a few bamboo whips when he beat you?" β
Shizi was stunned for a moment, "...... The royal grandfather knows everything. β
"I don't know anything." Emperor Jianxi sat up from the couch, he was so troubled by the prince, he was not sleepy, he sighed, "There are parents in the world, your father disciplines you, and I can't control it." Say, what are you doing when you enter the palace so late? β
Shizi leaned over and kowtowed, "I'm here to confess." β
"Oh." Emperor Jianxi glanced at the prince, "What crime." β
"Last night, Bai Ling, the secretary of the Chengqian Palace, was accused of fornicating with the guards...... The guard was none other than me. β
Only a slight sound was heardβthe clothes Qiu Shi was holding in his hand fell to the ground, and he stared at Shizi, and he couldn't even close his mouth for a while.
ββ¦β¦ But I have always been good friends with Bai Siyao, and I have never done anything beyond the norm. β
Qiu Shi helped his heart, "The prince of the world...... Don't talk like this, it's scary. β
After the gauze tent, a hand was stretched out, and Emperor Jianxi lifted the curtain and walked down from the bed.
Qiu Shi hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to put on a coat for Emperor Jianxi, but he opened it with one hand, "Take it!" β
Emperor Jianxi slowly walked to the table and sat down in front of Shizi, "...... What's going on, you tell it from beginning to end, if there is half a lie, I will not spare you! β
Shizi's face was as usual, and he kowtowed to Emperor Jianxi again and began to speak. He erased all the specific personnel involved in the conversation between the two, starting with the first time he met Bai Ling in the Imperial Garden.
The first time she met Bai Ling, she handed a water bladder over, and the two hurriedly parted after a few words, Bai Ling asked about his identity, and he casually said that he was the imperial guard;
The second time he met Bai Ling, it was he who approached him on purpose. During that time, Bai Ling's rescue of the concubine on the palace wall shocked Siye, and he was really curious about what this girl was capable of, but during that conversation, the two had a disagreement on the views of the red face and disaster in history, and they almost broke up unhappily;
The third time he met Bai Ling, he was caught by his father to visit General Shen, he fled halfway, and the two met by chance. Bai Ling helped him hide, and he asked for a meal of wine and meat;
The fourth time he met Bai Ling, it was after guarding the scriptures for Emperor Jianxi, he was worried about the affairs of Hu Lu's family, and he was very anxious, and Bai Ling poured cold water on his head to make him sober up.
The fifth time to see the shore of Lake An, the sixth time to Donglin Temple......
The further he spoke, the more calm his expression becameβhe suddenly realized that he remembered everything related to Bai Ling very clearly, and everything was as clear as if it had just happened.
Emperor Jianxi listened all the way, and he had already seen the little careful thinking of the prince clearly.
"I really like to talk to this priest, she always has a lot of unexpected ideas and opinions." Shizi said softly, "It's not that I didn't want to tell her my true identity, but I was worried that if I told her, she was restrained in her heart, and she couldn't be like before-"
"I think you're stupid."
Emperor Jianxi interrupted with a sneer, remembering Bai Ling's reaction last night, he finally understood why Bai Ling didn't seem to be in a hurry at all - this girl is as fine as a fox, and she has all kinds of tricks in her heart, and now she is only eleven or twelve years old and has already stirred up the capital, and when she is older, I don't know how much wind and rain it will cause.
It's no wonder that Bai Shijun wants to run.
Emperor Jianxi looked at Shizi and reminded in a cold voice, "What is your identity, even if Bai Ling didn't see it the first time, the second and third time, she couldn't have known." β
"It doesn't matter," Shizi also looked up at the emperor, "it's that I don't know how to face her, it's the shell that I need a guard, does she know it...... It doesn't really matter. β
As he spoke, the prince prostrated again.
"Please let Grandpa Bai Ling go! If there is one way to say this, I'm willing to take all the blame with Bolin! β
Emperor Jianxi raised his eyebrows.
There is no help.
