151. Secrets in the Imperial City
There is a huge banyan tree in the Zini Palace, and its dense beards hang down all year round, like a giant umbrella.
Han Lin and Xia Chunfeng hid in the middle of the big tree, and the two watched the team of visiting relatives go back and forth, and the scene was very touching.
"After a few years, I can't imagine that they still care about each other." Han Lin said envious words in an old-fashioned tone.
He didn't feel much love between his relatives, and he sighed in his heart, no wonder those palace maids often wanted to go home to visit relatives, just because they were worried.
In this comparison, he might as well be born in an ordinary family.
"You know that most of them were born very hard, like the eunuchs, but they were sold. Besides, they may have a large family to support outside the palace, and the family will naturally be anxious, and everyone has their own stories. Xia Chunfeng leaned on the thick branch on the side with interest, wanting to see how he weighed power, wealth, and ...... Affection.
Han Lin was stunned for a moment, and then puffed up his chest, "How can you compare Your Highness with these ordinary people, Your Highness is born extraordinary." ”
Xia Chunfeng smiled, and heard him say again, "What about you, what kind of story do you have?" ”
Hearing this, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened a little, "Your Highness is interested in hearing it?" ”
"I should know what I mean." He wanted to know who Xia Chunfeng was, why he appeared in Zi Nim Palace, and what secrets he carried.
"You're smart, I'll tell you later. You just need to know that I will be there for you at all times, and you must trust me. ”
Xia Chunfeng felt that there was no need to lie and justify, Xiao Hanlin was smart and alert, and he could see many things clearly, if he blindly lied, the relationship would be stiffened.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and high-fived each other.
"Last night, my mother told me that King Yun sent men and horses to assassinate King De, but in the end he was subdued by King De's people. My eldest brother is not good at stubble. Hanlin dangled his legs, wanting to watch the fire from the other side.
"Then do you know that King Yun has been secretly recruiting troops, what do you think he means?" Xia Chunfeng wanted to test him, and reminded him by the way.
"Forcing the palace-" He couldn't believe it, he had heard these two words mentioned by his master, where would he have thought that they could come true.
That's a life-and-death affair......
After sending Hanlin to the academy, Xia Chunfeng returned the same way, and there were people keeping a distance along the way, so he simply hid in a dark corner, ready to find out.
The sound of footsteps is so light that it is almost inaudible, sometimes light and sometimes slow, from far to near. A bright dagger landed on Wu Muyun's neck at an extremely fast speed, he was startled at first, and after seeing Xia Chunfeng's raunchy face, he suddenly sighed.
"It's been a year, and you've made yourself sloppy." He wrinkled his nose and was very disgusted. Xu has a habit of cleanliness, and when he sees something slightly unclean, he will faintly feel a strange smell. Worried that his smell would stain his snort, he couldn't help but take a step back.
"I haven't congratulated you on your reinstatement." Xia Chunfeng put away the dagger and smiled playfully. Both of them are in the imperial city, it is inevitable that they will greet each other, and if they can hide for a day, they can't hide for a lifetime, so it is better to open the skylight directly and say something bright.
Moreover, Xia Chunfeng was very sure that he was the emperor's person.
Looking him up and down for a while, Wu Muyun asked uncertainly, "Are you from Xuanji Pavilion?" ”
There are many historical rumors in the Xuanji Pavilion among the people, which are rendered with layers of gorgeous colors, but no one can peel back the cocoon to explore the mysteries.
Therefore, it is just a legend.
He was a chaifu for a while, a village man for a while, and then he entered the imperial city and became a guard, and besides, people couldn't find any information before and after, only Xuanji Pavilion could do it in this world.
Xia Chunfeng did not deny it.
Seeing that he was alive and well, Wu Muyun couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, and seeing him laughing arbitrarily, Wu Muyun felt a little ironic. He hid the dissatisfaction in his heart and smiled, "I thought that Xuanji Pavilion was just a legend. ”
Xia Chunfeng was still reluctant to reveal half a word.
The two looked at each other for a while, and he guessed that Wu Muyun should have the same distress as himself.
"Can you take a step to speak?"
The two came to a dilapidated building in the Golden Thread Alley. Xia Chunfeng blew the dusty chair in front of him, and sat down.
Wu Muyun frowned, and after looking around, he began to dislike the dirty and messy place.
Xia Chunfeng is not as hypocritical as him, and when he talks about business, as long as he can negotiate properly, it is the same everywhere.
"Your Majesty, what work has been arranged for you?"
Knowing that Wu Muyun was a slippery fox, he simply spoke out, so that Wu Muyun could not avoid it.
What he said made Wu Muyun very displeased.
"Are you trying to speculate on the Divine Will?" Squinting his eyes, the intimidation in Wu Muyun's words was very obvious.
"Don't mess with all this nonsense." He crossed Erlang's legs, without the slightest rules. "Did you know that there is a big secret in this imperial city?"
"I have something to go." Wu Muyun's face froze, and he turned around to leave, but was cut off by Xia Chunfeng.
There are many secrets in the imperial city, and each of them is taboo. But he didn't want to know. He is living a good life, there is no need to find himself unhappy.
"You don't have the slightest curiosity." He smiled sadly. It's like a person digging a pit to hunt, waiting for his prey to take the bait, with a bad face.
Wu Muyun didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so when he was entangled, he started to move, and somehow, a sentence that sounded light and fluttering came into Wu Muyun's ears.
"The Seven Princes Were Not Born to the Emperor......"
He was stunned, the panic in his eyes was fleeting, looking at Xia Chunfeng's triumphant smile, he was angry, "You are so daring!" This is the Imperial City, you don't want to die. ”
"What I just told you, you can go out and talk to someone, and then come and punish me with death."
Xia Chunfeng's fearlessness made Wu Muyun, who was bound to take revenge, very unhappy, but he dared to be angry.
"What do you want to say?"
"The emperor asked me to check the biological father of the seventh prince, and I already have eyebrows, but because of the wide implication and the succession to the throne, I still dare not speak." He turned the conversation to the point.
Wu Muyun chuckled in his heart, and faintly noticed something, "But it has something to do with King De?" ”
If so...... King De will never be able to succeed to the throne, and when the time comes, he can only inherit the throne by King Yun, and he will also be convicted for helping King De.
Talk to the smart, a little connected. Xia Chunfeng was very satisfied, he nodded, "The task that the emperor arranged for you is related to King De?" Seeing that his face was wrong, Xia Chunfeng also guessed seven hundred points.
"The emperor gave me the token of the Praetorian Guard, and asked me to help King De ascend the throne at a critical moment." At this point, there is nothing to hide.
"What if King Rodher is unable to inherit the throne because of this?" Xia Chunfeng asked rhetorically. He was secretly surprised that the old fox actually gave such an important object to Wu Muyun, which was really a clever plan.
"Who does the emperor want, how can I control it, everything is left to fate." He said this, but in the end he was still unwilling, and there was always a voice in his heart reminding him that King Germany must ascend the throne.
"Anyway, it's death both horizontally and vertically, and with you as a companion on the Huangquan Road, I won't lose anything." Xia Chunfeng sighed, as if he had made some decision.
Wu Muyun was immediately alert, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Of course, it is to inform the emperor that the biological father of the seventh prince is King De." He didn't care, as if he was greeting people if they were eating.
Wu Muyun was terrified when he heard this, "King De must succeed to the throne." ”
The two hit it off, and Xia Chunfeng was very satisfied with the result. As everyone knows, Wu Muyun has exciting news waiting for him.
"If the emperor forces you to ask the biological father of the seventh prince, how should you answer?" Wu Muyun was still relieved when he saw him hanging up.
"Someone is in front of me to bear this matter, and I am not worried." Xia Chunfeng refers to Yuan Shuren. If it really comes to him, he will pull a substitute for the dead ghost to end the matter.
It's just that, in this way, the follow-up is tricky.
"Oh, I'll just say that your daughter-in-law is pregnant, you are not guarding in front of you, where can you go, it turns out that you have entered the imperial city, this is a rare place to come in and go out." Wu Muyun said lightly, he couldn't wait to see Xia Chunfeng's painful expression.
"What did you say?" Xia Chunfeng couldn't believe his ears. When he left, the doctor also said that she needed to recuperate before she could get pregnant, and she became pregnant with this turn?
Xia Chunfeng didn't believe it.
"You don't know?" Wu Muyun's stunned expression was very well pretended. "It's okay if I don't know...... It's good to ...... if I don't know."
He was halfway through his speech, and suddenly stopped talking.
"What the hell is going on?" He was facing Wu Muyun, and his eyes were cold and oozing with cold light.
"Hey...... Your daughter-in-law is pregnant, yes, but ...... I haven't been through it for nine months......" he said slowly, with a look of regret.
Xia Chunfeng was stunned for a moment, and had a bad premonition in his heart......
Isn't it a difficult birth......
"What happened?" Xia Chunfeng was in a hurry, and his volume couldn't help but increase a few points.
Wu Muyun was worried that if he continued like this, he would attract palace people, so he advised him to steady his mind, although he would be suspicious, in the end, it was still about the person he was most nervous about and cared about the most, where could he listen.
"Before you left, your daughter-in-law was pregnant, and she didn't even know about it, and then your nurse heard rumors out of nowhere that your daughter-in-law had committed adultery, which ruined the child, so she joined the villagers to sink her in the pond. She was about to give birth......"
Xia Chunfeng couldn't believe it anymore, "You are talking nonsense, I took her to the doctor, and the doctor said that she was not pregnant-"
At this time, he couldn't calm down, and he couldn't wait to rush outside the palace immediately to witness the truth and falsehood of Wu Muyun's words. At the same time, he also said this to himself, obviously trying to block him.
He was so angry that he fought with Wu Muyun regardless of it.
"Are you crazy?" Wu Muyun couldn't help but be agitated when he thought of him.
"Why do you have to fight with me, if you want to know the truth or falsehood, just check it." Wu Muyun pushed him away, straightened his clothes, and left refreshed.
