Chapter 252: Defenseless
Mu Zirong squatted in front of Chu Hongchen and pulled out two silver needles directly from his legs.
"Today, no matter whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hears anything or doesn't hear anything, if your mouth is not strong enough, then don't blame me for telling the old emperor about the unsightly things you did before, and see if you can keep your position as crown prince." After speaking, Mu Zirong brushed his sleeves away, leaving only Chu Hongchen, who looked at him with hatred.
His legs were freed, Chu Hongchen felt that his legs seemed to regain his intuition, he stood up from the ground tremblingly, and finally adjusted his state, and then simply tidied up and returned to his bedroom, walked to the bronze mirror, looked at himself in embarrassment, and picked up the vase next to the bronze mirror and smashed it to the ground.
After smashing the vase, Chu Hongchen felt that he was still angry in his heart, so he threw it on the ground when he got something, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the dormitory all knelt on the ground with their heads down, trying to shrink their sense of existence, afraid that they would be harmed by the pond fish, and their lives would be lost if they were not careful.
"Get out, you all get out of the palace, don't you want to live? Anyone can look down on Hongu, right? Everything in the room was smashed by Chu Hongchen, and when he walked up to a palace maid, he directly reached out and pinched her neck, his eyes were red, "Do you even look down on me, huh?" ”
The palace maid's face was flushed, and her survival instinct made her keep struggling, and her hands wanted to break Chu Chu Hongchen's hands that were pinching her neck, and her feet gradually got off the ground.
Gradually, the palace maid stopped struggling, only a pair of frightened eyes widened, and Chu Hongchen let go of his hand resentfully, as if he had encountered something disgusting, and threw the already angry palace maid to the ground.
"Drag her away, forget it if you dirty Bengong's hands, don't dirty Bengong's eyes, get out, get out of Bengong." Chu Hongchen sat on the chaise longue decadently and said angrily.
The eunuchs and maids in the dormitory cleared the messy ground with great speed, and then they all withdrew from the dormitory one after another.
……
After Qi Lao came out of Mu Zirong, he went out of the palace and returned to his bamboo forest courtyard, he walked back and forth in the study, he saw Mu Zirong's power today, and now he must start planning the positioning of Mu Zirong again, but his top priority now is to find a way to complete the agreement with Mu Zirong, Mu Zirong is obviously not a person to be messed with, if he doesn't handle it well, he will lose his wife and soldiers at that time, it will really be a failure.
"This prince of Longteng Kingdom can be regarded as doing a good thing, if he hadn't appeared, I would have to appease Mu Zirong all the time." Qi Lao stroked his beard and sighed secretly that Chu Hongchen's appearance was just right, and it was precisely because of Chu Hongchen that he thought of a good idea.
After that, he immediately went to the emperor to take leave, and then moved directly to Chu Hongze's place to live with them day and night.
"Master, why are you here?" Chu Hongze looked at Qi Lao and the people behind him with some surprise, and didn't understand which of these were played.
"What? It's only been a few days since I saw you, and you don't welcome me as a master anymore? Qi Lao looked at Chu Hongze with a smile, without the slightest sense of uninvited embarrassment, and only after finishing speaking, did he explain, "That's the case, I'm a little bored living in the house alone, and now I'm older and my memory is poor, so I want to move over and live with you, and I can take care of each other." ”
"How so? Naturally, we don't mind. Chu Hongze couldn't help but smile a little embarrassedly, and he couldn't help but feel a little blamed in his heart, how could he talk to his master like this, the master's kindness to him was very great, it can be said that the second person can't reach it, no matter what it is, he shouldn't doubt his master.
Thinking like this, Chu Hongze's eyes instantly cleared, and he said a little respectfully, "Master, there happens to be a wonderful place, and there is a vacant room there, so I'll go and clean up for you." ”
"Well, let's go, I'll go with you for the teacher, and see what the place you said is." Hearing Chu Hongze say this, Qi Lao laughed with satisfaction.
In fact, Chu Hongze wanted to say to Qi Lao that he would just clean it up for him, and besides, there were many subordinates in his Rui Wang's Mansion, and it stands to reason that these jobs would not require the two of them to do it at all, but seeing that Qi Lao wanted to follow him, he thought that he should also take Qi Lao to familiarize himself with the terrain in his mansion.
Although this was not necessary, he directly acquiesced to Qi Lao's behavior and did not refute it much.
In fact, it was not the first time that Qi Lao came, but he still chatted with his apprentice.
"Ze'er, I didn't expect the emperor to treat you well, and your mansion is also very big!" Observing the terrain in the palace all the way, intentionally or unintentionally, he asked some questions from time to time.
"Master, in fact, my father is the same for the size of each prince's mansion, but if there is some credit, he will be rewarded." Chu Hongze also replied a little helplessly, although he didn't know why his master would ask him such a question, but he still answered very patiently.
In fact, Qi Lao also knows something about these things, after all, he has been following the old emperor of Longteng Country for a while, and he knows a little about some things in this country, but this time he wants to find some topics that he can talk about with Chu Hongze, so that in the end, he can lead to the words he wants to come out of Chu Hongze's side.
In fact, the main thing is to use small talk to eliminate Chu Hongze's wariness of himself, although he knows that his apprentice is not wary of him at all, but ......
Thinking of this, Qi Lao's eyes couldn't help but froze, as if he had thought of something, but it flashed again.
That's right, this is also the method he thought of, and that is the purpose of his special coming to Chu Hongze's mansion to live with them this time.
While talking, the two soon came to the courtyard that Chu Hongze said.
In fact, this courtyard has been lived in by Qi Lao for a short time before, but no one has come for too long, so few people take care of it, and some dust has fallen, and there are many things that need to be disturbed, and there are many things that need to be added.
"Master, don't be surprised, wait a while for the cleaning up here is almost done, I'll go and call someone to buy some things, if you have anything else to buy, just tell the butler, he will arrange everything properly." Chu Hongze turned back to Qi Lao and said, with a look of consideration for Qi Lao on his face.
"No need, being a teacher is not the kind of person who has to complicate things, and you don't need to do these things yourself, just find someone to do it, I'll arrange it myself, it's okay." Qi Lao pretended to observe the surroundings for a while, and then opened his mouth to Chu Hongze, with a very satisfied expression.
"Besides, your master's body is still very strong, and it's okay to clean it up by yourself, do you think your master is old?" Qi Lao looked at Chu Hongze's expression, and pretended to be angry and said.
Chu Hongze listened to Qi Lao's words, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't dare, don't dare, how can the apprentice think that the master is old, it's just that the master was sick some time ago, how can you let you work." ”
Actually, no matter what, after all, Qi Lao's purpose is not to live here for a long time, but to have other plans, as long as he can achieve his own goal, what are these things?
In this way, Qi Lao temporarily settled down in the Rui Wang's Mansion.
It's just that what makes Chu Hongze even more strange is that after Qi Lao came this time, he didn't seem to have anything to do all day long, and he didn't go into the palace to discuss with the emperor, and he prepared some food for himself every day.
In fact, Qi Lao didn't prepare food for Chu Hongze every day, after all, he also thought of this, if Chu Hongze ate the food he prepared for him every day, after a long time, Wen Ruyi would definitely find that Chu Hongze had the invasion of drugs in his body, and when he remembered that he prepared some food for Chu Hongze every day, then he would be very suspicious.
So at the beginning, he also prepared a few times, and then he secretly added something to the food while the subordinate was away, or directly knocked the subordinate unconscious, and then put some things he wanted to add to the food, and when the subordinate woke up, he couldn't find anything.
They basically served the food directly, and Chu Hongze didn't notice anything when he ate it.
Why didn't Chu Hongze notice it? It's not that he's not cautious enough, it's not that his thinking isn't careful enough, but because there is nothing abnormal at all in normal times, this time it's just that his master is here, and it's impossible to doubt his master anyway, so it's naturally defenseless, and the dosage is very small each time, and it's difficult to find it at all.
"Master, don't you need to go into the palace to discuss with your father?" Chu Hongze asked a little curiously during the meal, now Qi Lao has not been to the palace for several days, and it seems that his father has not asked much.
"Your master has been feeling a little tired recently and wants to come out to relax, so he asked the emperor for leave, which is why he came to your house." Qi Lao replied seemingly casually, but he didn't care.
Chu Hongze nodded after listening, and Qi Lao stared at Chu Hongze's dining situation intentionally or unintentionally.
He always avoids not eating those dishes that he has drugged, when Chu Hongze asked, he said that he didn't like to eat, every time Chu Hongze would jokingly tell Qi Lao that these dishes that Qi Lao didn't like to eat were all his favorite dishes, and Qi Lao always smiled noncommittally, how could he not know what Chu Hongze said, because these were all in his plan.
