Chapter 259: A madman emerges from the woods

"Father-in-law Shu has served his father for more than ten years, when do you plan to return to his hometown? I read that my father-in-law is so old, it is better to leave the palace earlier to enjoy the happiness to be worthy of all these years of hard work! ”

"The old slave is alone, leaving the palace is waiting to die, or staying here, as long as the emperor can still use the old slave one day, the old slave will definitely stay by the emperor's side, and if he dies, he will be carried to Xishan to be buried! This life is over! Shu Ruhai smiled bitterly, and the tea cup in his hand was held up for a long time but he didn't drink a sip.

He has been running for the emperor all his life, and he is willing to die in this palace.

"The book's father-in-law is so free and easy, but it makes me feel a little ashamed. It's just that the father-in-law often forgets the things entrusted by his father now, and when he arrives, he ............"

Shu Ruhai has frequently provoked the emperor to get angry during this period of time, the reason is not the friction between Dongchang and Jinyiwei, but his recent problems of losing three and four, people have a poor memory when they are old, and Shu Ruhai can't avoid aging.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Royal Highness King Rui, it was really that day, the old slave will retire, the east factory is so big, there is always a room left for the old slave!"

"My father can have someone like Father-in-law to serve, and those of us who are children can rest assured, Father-in-law also watched me grow up, and he took care of me quite a lot when I was young, thinking about it for almost twenty years, it's really fast!" Ning Zhiyuan's fingers rubbed on the smooth armrests painted with red paint, and his smile was sincere and honest, as if he had returned to his childhood.

Shu Ruhai has served the emperor for more than 20 years, and several princes and princesses have grown up under his watch, and he has some feelings for him who cannot have children, otherwise he would not have been so respectful to the prince on the day the prince was abolished and sent to the Zongren Mansion, Ning Zhiyuan was born without a mother, and the emperor took more care of him, Shu Ruhai, as the emperor's spokesperson in the palace, would follow the emperor's orders to visit Ning Zhiyuan almost every day, Ning Zhiyuan was very sensible and well-behaved when he was young, He does not have the arrogance and contempt of King Chao and is very respectful of Shu Ruhai, which has always made Shu Ruhai remember it vividly.

"His Royal Highness King Rui was sensible when he was young, and the emperor said more than once in front of the old slave that His Royal Highness King Rui was the most like him among the four princes!"

The past is dripping in his heart, Ning Zhiyuan remembered the most helpless past, Shu Ruhai also recalled that he was still in the middle age and was considered handsome, when he was young, his lips were red, his teeth were white, his sword eyebrows were starry, his skin was white and his skin was tender, and his appearance was very outstanding among a group of fathers-in-law. If it weren't for the fact that the family needed the twenty taels of silver to pay off the debt, maybe he would have entered the opera team now, no matter how poor he was, he would have become a farmer who cultivated the land, and at his current age, it was also the time for his children to raise his children in groups! Shu Ruhai thought to himself, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a wry smile.

Life is not so much if maybe possible, he has come to this day, and the life that should have belonged to him in the past has long been cleared of the line, and now he is not bad, although he has no relatives and no reason, but he finally has the wealth that most people expect.

"It's a pity that he doesn't have a good body like his father!"

Ning Zhiyuan's dull gaze was empty, and the words he slowly spit out were filled with endless sentimentality.

Shu Ruhai has seen Ning Zhiyuan's illness many times, a child who was born without a mother who is terminally ill will always win the sympathy of many people, but Ning Zhiyuan will never use this to win people's sympathy, the emperor said that this is very similar to him, Shu Ruhai has never seen the emperor when he was young, but he will never take the things that the emperor values lightly, Ning Zhiyuan's illness has always been the emperor's heart disease.

"With Mr. Chang here, His Royal Highness King Rui will get rid of the evil disease sooner or later!"

Ning Zhiyuan smiled bitterly.

"Father-in-law Shu~" A red-clothed eunuch hurriedly came, and after bowing quickly with Ning Zhiyuan, he attached it to Shu Ruhai's ear and muttered in a low voice.

Ning Zhiyuan picked up the tea and looked at Shu Ruhai's expression, Shu Ruhai, who was still sad and sentimental, frowned tightly and his face was solemn, and the eunuch who spoke was panicked, and after muttering for a while, he took a few steps back and waited for Shu Ruhai to speak.

"If you make such a big mistake, it's useless to keep it, and you will be punished with fifty rods and thrown out of the palace gate!"

The eunuch got the order and left the hall quickly.

Before the words fell, Shu Ruhai got up and saluted Ning Zhiyuan: "His Royal Highness King Rui, the queen mother is invited to a banquet for the royal family, and His Royal Highness wants to go with the old slave?" ”

"The queen didn't invite male guests today, it's a little inappropriate for me to go, if the father-in-law is on official business, then I will stay soon!" Ning Zhiyuan also got up.

"No, His Royal Highness King Rui, it was Princess Rui who was injured!"

"What?" Ning Zhiyuan stared in astonishment, Ning Zhiyuan's face was solemn, there could be no fake, thousands of thoughts flew through his mind, Ning Zhiyuan didn't think about it, he hurriedly walked out of the lobby of the East Factory after sparing the book.

How could Du Yiyi get hurt when she went to the queen's banquet? On the way, Shu Ruhai made a detailed explanation, when the banquet was not opened, Du Yiyi and Mrs. Xintonghou walked in the forest not far behind the Chang'an Palace, and at the moment when Mrs. Xintonghou walked away, a eunuch rushed out of the forest and stabbed Du Yiyi, fortunately, Mrs. Xintonghou arrived in time to stop it, the eunuch has been taken down, originally a person in Xi Shuyuan's palace, and later was assigned to Concubine Chang's palace, and then entered the clean room to clean, after experiencing the two masters, the brain is a little stupid, and the motive is still unknown.

Du Yiyi didn't expect that someone would assassinate someone in broad daylight in a place like the palace, not to mention that she was near Chang'an Palace, and the patrol team of the nearby Dongchang worked day and night, and the number of cases in the palace dropped sharply, but who expected that she would spray a madman.

If it weren't for the timely return of Mrs. Xintonghou, with her delicate and delicate physique, she would definitely die.

A good banquet came out of this matter, the faces of several county lords and emperors were not very good-looking, Du Yiyi was a bad star in their eyes, and people and things that hindered her would only be unlucky, the emperor sent someone to call the imperial doctor on the one hand, and on the other hand, he personally stabilized the emotions of the royal relatives.

The eunuch slashed Du Yiyi's right palm and also cut her waist, and the skin and flesh were full of blood, but fortunately, it didn't hurt the muscles and bones and important places, and Mother Xu, who had already regarded the queen as the same as Qinglan, had a lot of opinions about this, Chang'an Palace was heavily guarded, how could such a normal eunuch hide in the woods? The eunuch and Du Yiyi have no grievances and no enmity, even if they have murderous intentions, they should not have chosen such a deliberate method alone, if there is no deliberate indulgence and acquiescence of the queen here, how can such a thing happen?

Du Yiyi, who was bleeding too much, was very weak, although the wound had been bandaged, but the bleeding could not be stopped for a while, and she could also deduce some conspiracies and tricks about the strangeness of this matter, but when Xu's mother angrily explained the matter to her, she chose to continue to be the victim.

Regardless of whether there is the queen's instruction or not, since the queen dares to do this, she will never let people grasp the handle, and the daughters of the royal family are present today, if she has red mouth and white teeth but can't show evidence, she can only be said to slander the queen.

This Hongmen banquet is still a pun! The queen not only wants to use herself to elevate Qinglan's status among these clan relatives and daughters, but also makes herself ugly and completely ruins her reputation.

Mother Xu, who was indignant but helpless by the bedside, heard someone in front of her about Ning Zhiyuan, and bent over Du Yiyi's ear and said happily: "Princess! The prince is here! ”

Du Yiyi's waist hurt for a while, where is there still the heart on this, the ladies are chattering and discussing endlessly, the queen has asked people to invite the emperor, but this pain is useless even if the king of heaven comes!

"Yiyi, Yiyi!" Ning Zhiyuan stepped into the dormitory with the book like a sea, the book like a sea stopped behind the screen, and Ning Zhiyuan entered the screen alone.

Qinglan, who was being surrounded by the crowd, received the queen's eyes, and walked out of the crowd with a smile and came to the screen.

Du Yiyi's face was as white as manuscript paper, and the bloody coat had already been taken off and thrown away by the palace maid, but because of the injury, she couldn't change the clothes on her waist, and at first glance, the blanket covering her body was also stained with blood, and she looked very critical.
