Chapter 294: Asking for Help to No Avail
On weekdays, when Murong Yu was working in the palace, he would never allow anyone to disturb him in the courtyard. Even if he was busy cleaning the yard or even watering the flowers and plants, he had to put it aside, lest all kinds of sounds add up and affect his thoughts.
It's just that when I came to see it today, it was very different from the memory of the past. The people who should plant flowers in the yard, prune the floor, and sweep the floor are busy with their own affairs, and the expression on their faces is very indifferent, and they seem to be used to it.
I didn't hear the news of my father's departure before I went out, so he should still be busy in the study now, could it be that he has changed his sex? Murong Lin was extremely surprised. When he was slandering in his heart, someone in the courtyard found him hiding in the doorway.
"Why did you come here suddenly, why didn't you call the concierge to come and report?" Murong Lin was still watching what was going on outside, so as not to be seen by Han Yufeng's people.
At the same time, he was also wondering about Murong Yu's whereabouts in his heart, and before he could come up with a reason, Murong Lin suddenly heard this sentence coming from behind him, and he trembled in fright. After regaining his strength, Murong Lin's heart was full of self-deprecation and complaints.
turned around and took a look, but it was Wubi who had been serving Murong Yu for a long time.
"It's Brother Wubi, you scared me a lot." Murong Lin patted his chest and shook his head. On the other side, Wubi still had little expression on his face when facing his complaints, and he looked very calm.
He originally came out to see how the people in the courtyard were cleaning, but who expected Murong Lin to visit suddenly. Wubi lowered his hand from his shoulder, and spoke in ordinary words, but his tone sounded very righteous and eloquent.
"It's not that you're a thief, you've worked hard outside alone, and you've been on the battlefield, how can you be scared like this by me. If the prince knows, I'm afraid that he will count you down. ”
"Where would it be so serious," Murong Lin laughed dryly, put his hand on Wubi's shoulder, and walked in with him. "By the way, Wubi, do you know where my father is, I have something to do with him."
"The prince has been in the mansion all the time," he said, squinting his eyes at Murong Lin, "You should know best, don't you, it's impossible for the prince to go out at this time." ”
"I'm just a little unsure, why would my father ask them to clean during this time period, for a moment I thought I was mistaken." Murong Lin pursed his lips slightly, but he didn't notice that the expression on Wubi's face was a little uncomfortable.
As they spoke, the two walked to Murong Yu's study.
"You go in first, I'll make a pot of tea, you have to tell the prince about something, don't worry." It was rare for Wubi to talk so much, and Murong Lin couldn't help but laugh.
"Wubi, you are now concerned about more and more things, how can I say that my father has grown up watching him since he was a child, do you still don't know about his habits and temper?"
Wubi didn't wait here obediently for Murong Lin to finish speaking, so he turned around and left first. Murong Lin looked at the back of him leaving, and always felt that something was not quite right today.
But before he could figure out anything, Murong Lin heard Murong Yu's voice from the study. "Who's making noise at the door?"
"Enlighten the father, it is the child who has something to see." Murong Lin
was stunned, quickly stood up and bowed, and took the initiative to push the door in.
Murong Yu inside didn't know what he was busy with, he turned his head sideways and looked through the two books at the same time, and there was a tall stack of dusty old books on the desk.
He should have been busy with the matter at hand and didn't pay attention to what Murong Lin said, until Murong Lin appeared in front of him, he suddenly came back to his senses, and shouted with a sense of annoyance: "It's such a big person, why do you act so carelessly, you can't look good." ”
Listening to his reprimand, Murong Lin couldn't help but feel aggrieved, and pursed his mouth and looked back unhappily: "Father, the child has taken the initiative to report before he came in, and he didn't set foot on it without permission. Is there something that worries my father, so he is in a bad mood today? ”
Seeing Murong Lin standing obediently next to the door, his face was unconvinced at a glance. Murong Yu also seemed to notice that his reaction was a little excessive, so he tried to cover up his behavior with coughing.
"Ahem, it's nothing, it's just an ordinary thing. It's just that what are you doing here at this hour, have you patrolled the city? ”
"Naturally, the original task at hand has been solved, and the child will come over rashly." Murong Lin nodded and took a few steps closer in Murong Yu's direction. Murong Yu's expression was as usual, but the skin on the back of his hand was inevitably a little taut.
"The child asks his father for something, and he asks him to answer." Murong Yu raised his head in confusion, and Murong Lin whispered in his ear, also afraid of being heard by ill-intentioned people who had ears on the wall.
After Murong Lin explained the matter briefly, Murong Yu was really angry, but this anger was reasonable, but it was unexpected.
"That maid is right, how can she send troops out so easily, in case she annoys Your Majesty, it is the thousands of people in our eleven cities who will suffer with her."
"You have always handled many cases by yourself, why is this matter not as thoughtful as a little maid, it is inevitable that this king will be disappointed." Murong Yu sighed and shook his head.
"Father, why did you react so much," Murong Lin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and confronted him without backing down. "As long as we are careful in our movements, and we ask people to pay attention to their movements, we may not be noticed by the imperial court."
"What's more, Father, don't you admire Xiaoyue the most and even surpass me? This will be to save her life, and in any case, she will disappear for the sake of all the people. ”
"She is a woman, she could have stayed out of the way, but she could go to Luofeng Mountain for the sake of righteousness, can't we still try to keep her safe?" Murong Lin said that he was sincere, so he sent Murong Yu to kneel.
But Murong Yu seemed to be iron-hearted, and he refused to let go, "One yard is one yard, can you put Confucius and Mencius on the same day?" ”
"You also said that since she set out for the sake of righteousness, how could she allow you to easily change the purpose she has been insisting on after a special circumstance, but she didn't plan to make her sad after she came back?"
"It's not easy to comment on how Xiaoyue is this king, but there is one more thing, which is your problem." Saying that, Murong Yu pointed at Murong Lin, and Murong Lin's face suddenly became a little confused.
"You're a great man
Wang Shizi, who is also related to the daily life of the people in the city, how can he mess up for a woman now and spread it, wouldn't it be that all the teachings that this king has taught you on weekdays have been wasted. ”
"You give this king a good time to go back and reflect." Murong Yu talked for a long time, and he was a little bored when he looked at it, but Murong Lin's face was still tepid, and he was unhappy when he saw it, and waved his hand to call someone away.
Murong Lin raised his head suddenly, frowned, and his tone was a little disrespectful. "My father is also very different from usual, and he has the posture of a prince."
"The lives of the people in the city are at stake, can we ignore Xiaoyue? Father and they are worried about the future, but isn't it the present that we should be concerned about now, there must always be a first come, first come. ”
"The child doesn't know why his father has changed so much after he came back from the capital, but he asked his father to love me again and agreed to my request this time." Murong Lin's words were heavy, and he knelt down solemnly beside Murong Yu, causing Murong Yu to look sideways.
"As a person in charge, if you change your original intention easily, it will be too discredited." Murong Yu gritted his teeth, no matter how Murong Lin asked, he didn't let go.
"If you are really in such a hurry to go over to her, the token is on you, why do you bother to talk to this king again?"
Murong Lin opened his lips slightly, and he was almost about to tell Lin Xiao's hidden token honestly. But if you really say that, I'm afraid that the hand metaphor may not come down, and Lin Xiao will be punished first, and then it will be really difficult to recover.
There is a shortage of people around him, and he has the ability to keep it. Murong Lin thought about it, and stubbornly responded by himself. "Back to my father, I lost the token, I forgot where I put it, and I will definitely find it next time."
"Besides, if the child gives an order without authorization, it will be unjustifiable and arrogant, and he will not take his father and the palace too seriously. For this reason, the child had the courage to come to his father and beg him to give me a handwritten message. ”
Murong Lin's sincerity was exchanged for a natural cold snort from Murong Yu. Murong Yu's face was unhappy, and he saw that there was a faint trend of getting more and more serious.
"You can lose the token you put there, what else do you think you can do? If you insist on this, then find a way to send troops to the city yourself, and this king will not let you go your own way and affect so many people in the city. ”
"Father!" Murong Lin frowned and called sincerely, and Murong Yu also had the same face and shouted angrily. "Get out."
At this moment, Wubi pushed the door in with a tray, which happened to interrupt the tense atmosphere in the room. He stood straight behind the door and bowed to the two inside.
"Lord Wang, Lord Shizi, the tea is ready, but I can continue to talk about it later."
"Go." Murong Yu put away his face, his tone was light, Murong Lin was unhappy, stood up with a straight face, passed by Wubi and went out. "No need, I'm not thirsty."
After Wubi Mu sent Murong Lin away, he looked at Murong Yu in confusion. Murong Yu was affected and irritable, and closed the book in his hand, "Why are you looking at this king like this, don't you also think that there is something wrong with this king's actions this time?" ”
"The subordinates don't dare." Wubi walked over with his head down and put away the books on the table before putting things down.
