Chapter 62: Breaking the Scheme
"Xinu, send someone to inform the eldest cousin to come over early tomorrow morning, and let Yan Yi and Yan Qi train the second brother, Zhu Gongzi, and cousin in makeup and disguise techniques, and Xing Yin can observe. I went there in the evening to check the results and see how they learned. β
"Miss is not going to leave before the Mid-Autumn Festival, can you take me?"
"I'm going to go out before the festival, you have been in the house for the longest time, and you have always done it after following me to show up, who doesn't know the son of Xinu Xi. What's more, I don't feel at ease when the second brother is handed over to others, with you and Bai Zhao here, I can go out to do things with confidence. β
"I know I can't go, I just want to fight for it again, I'll go out to do errands." Xi Nufeng ran out to run errands, and there was no one around Yu Jin now, so she could only go back quickly.
Liao Fanlin served as the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, and he would not leave the imperial city easily, but when the seven-year-old prince looked for him, he couldn't help but come out.
Yu Jin was lying on the bed and was thinking about something, the footsteps of the three people sounded outside the courtyard, and Changbai shouted outside the courtyard: "Xi Nu, Xi Nu." I didn't hear anyone answering, but I saw the courtyard door open and walked in and said loudly, "Eldest sister, Brother Liao brought the eldest son to come and see you." β
"Please come in." Yu Jin is so strange, how could the eldest brother bring Liao Fanlin in, who is the eldest son? Could it be that there is something unusual in the palace?
The eldest brother looked at him bitterly, and there was a noble boy standing in front of Liao Fanlin, and the boy had a calmness and depth that did not match his age.
Yu Jin immediately understood the identity of the boy, and she didn't wait for Liao Fanlin to open her mouth and said anxiously: "Brother Liao, as the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, how can he have time to bring the eldest prince over, I'm afraid that the eldest prince's family is already in chaos." Big brother, you go and ask Second Prince Fang, General Zhu Shao and others to prepare to send the eldest prince home at the gate. Changbai didn't have any objections, and immediately walked out quickly to inform.
Liao Fanlin glanced down at the boy, rubbed his nose and just wanted to explain, but Yu Jin didn't give him a chance to open his mouth at all and continued: "Yu Jin, as the daughter of the boudoir, it is inconvenient to receive foreign men, my fiancΓ© is a guest in the house, spread the word about how I behave, please Brother Liao take the eldest son back early." I only remember that the master said that if the gentleman is not secret, he will lose his minister, if the minister is not secret, he will lose his body, and if he is not secret, he will be harmed. Brother Liao is too Meng Lang, if you think about it, how to explain to the above about taking the eldest prince out without permission, it is estimated that no one can prove that you were forced or voluntary. I haven't seen you, let alone the eldest prince. β
The boy understood, his little face turned white, and he was still pretending to be calm. He looked at the burly Liao Fanlin behind him uneasily, he understood Yu Jin's words, and he began to be afraid in his heart, and the eunuch who instigated him to go out without permission was estimated to be more auspicious, let alone defend him, what should he do?
Liao Fanlin used to be a literary detective and realized the seriousness of the problem, Concubine Mei was his own sister, and there were many people who were favored and offended in the harem, not only offended Concubine Lian, but Concubine Mei was so young and beautiful that even the queen did not let go of her eyes. This time it was he who was careless, and the eldest prince changed his clothes and forced him to come out to see the excitement, and he didn't bring a single guard. He saw that the little eunuch said that it was the queen's order, and without doubt, he changed into civilian clothes to protect the eldest prince to come out, but fortunately, the eldest prince was curious about Yu Jin and must come to see Yu Jin first.
"It's for my brother's abruptness, I'll leave." Liao Fanlin left in a hurry with the eldest prince, and the eldest prince walked to the door, turned around and nodded slightly at Yujin to thank him for reminding him.
Xi Nu was running into Liao Gongzi and the eldest prince who were hurriedly going out, and hurriedly entered the house to plead guilty.
Yu Jin waved his hand and said, "I don't blame you for this matter, I hope nothing happens in the palace."
Yu Jin has limited knowledge of the affairs in the palace, and the eldest prince did not see the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet that she attended, so she should have been strictly ordered not to attend the last two days, except for the first day of the official meeting with the courtiers.
The palace is very strict with the education of the prince, and the eldest prince will not be served by eunuchs and palace maids, and he will not bring fewer guards when he goes out, why did he go out of the palace easily this time, is it a coincidence. There are still people who start to calculate Concubine Mei, do they dare to calculate the queen, and the eldest prince can't be calculated. Does Concubine Lian have this ability now, she shouldn't make a dangerous move now, could it be that she borrowed a knife to kill people, who is the knife in the hands of Concubine Lian in the palace?
Yu Jin had a headache and didn't come up with an answer, she didn't want to be involved with the royal family, fortunately, Fang Ronghua was here, he was unparalleled in his wisdom, and he would definitely send the eldest prince back to the palace properly.
It only takes an hour to get here from the palace, and even if someone calculates, I'm afraid this time will be in vain. On the contrary, the eldest prince will increase his knowledge and understand that life in the palace is dangerous, and not everyone will respect and protect him because he is the eldest prince.
Because the eldest prince suddenly disappeared, there was already a lot of uproar in the palace, and the emperor and empress were interrogating the people in the emperor's palace.
"The Great Prince has arrived." There was a bulletin outside.
The eldest prince was wearing a prince's uniform and had already walked in quickly to salute, and he pretended to be excited and shouted: "The son has seen the father and the queen mother, how can the father and the queen mother have time to come to the children's palace today, and these dead slaves don't know to inform the children." He saw the corpse of the little eunuch who encouraged him to go out at the door, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
When the emperor saw the eldest prince, his heart suddenly relaxed, and then he asked with a heavy face and annoyance: "Where have you been, why don't you bring guards to serve?"
"Back to my father, my sons want to be quiet, thinking about what gifts to give to the imperial grandmother and imperial grandmother during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so as to make their old people happy." The eldest prince looked like an innocent reply.
"When the emperor grows up, he should be careful, although he has filial piety, how can he run around alone! Your father wanted to ask you about your homework and came to see if you were studying, but who knew that they didn't see you when they came to your palace, which frightened their father, and apologized to their father quickly. The queen knew her son and knew that something must have happened, so she hurriedly took over the words to cover up for her son.
When Concubine Xian heard that the eldest prince appeared in time, she was so angry that she swept off the porcelain on the table. She turned out to be the most favored woman by the emperor, when she was pregnant and gave birth to the third prince, Concubine Mei entered the palace, and since then the emperor has favored Concubine Mei, not only has she never been to her palace, but even the three princes who are two years old rarely see their father.
When Concubine Xian took the three princes for a walk in the garden, she met Concubine Lian, who praised the three princes for being smart, clever and cute. She seemed to sigh softly, but it's a pity that the mother is expensive with the son, and the mother is precious and the son is delicate!
One sentence touched Concubine Xian's heart, and there was another layer of hatred for Concubine Mei, originally after she gave birth to the third prince, the emperor would promote her to be a concubine, but the young, talented and beautiful Concubine Mei entered the palace, blocking her from advancing to the throne. Later, when she met Concubine Lian again, Concubine Lian smiled and asked as if she had no intention of asking, "Who is that young general of the Praetorian Guard?" Really handsome. β
"He is the eldest grandson of Prime Minister Liao, the new Kewen Tanhua, and the martial champion."
"Oh, what do you call him and Concubine Mei?"
"Concubine Mei's brother."
Concubine Lian nodded, sighed and said: "Concubine Mei is really blessed, there is such a heroic brother outside to protect her, not like me..."
Gongsun is charming and dares to enter Liang State as a concubine, not unprepared, there have long been Wei spies in the Liang Palace, and the grandmother next to Concubine Xian is a native of Wei, she has already understood the details of Concubine Xian from her mouth, Concubine Xian is the niece of the Queen Mother, a proud and self-righteous stupid woman.
Today, the grandmother around Concubine Xian offered advice, and the eldest prince had no class. Concubine Xian asked the little eunuch who was bought to bewitch the eldest prince and secretly went out of the palace to Xibianqiao to listen to books and watch the excitement. Everything was planned, but I didn't expect the eldest prince to come back so soon.
Concubine Xian's plan can be described as killing two birds with one stone, Liao Fanlin took the eldest prince out of the palace privately, and the motive is not clear, and he will be severely punished. The eldest prince made friends with foreign ministers privately and went out without asking for instructions, if he was instigated by others to prove that he had no brains, he was easy to be manipulated by others how to be appointed as the prince. Believing that going out to play violated the emperor's will and would lose the sacred heart, no matter how it was counted, it was a good plan to hit Concubine Mei and the queen, the little eunuch thought that he did not take good care of his master and died in shame, and he died without proof, and he didn't expect the plan to be broken so soon.
When Concubine Lian found out, she smiled.
The emperor knew that the eldest prince was lying, but he did not pursue it. After the emperor left, the queen broke everyone away and asked the eldest prince what happened, but the eldest prince hesitated for a long time, but still chose to confess to the queen mother. Seeing what Yujin said, the arrangement of Ronghua on the road, Liao Fanlin opened the guards to send him back to the palace from the corner gate, took a set of clothes that had just been changed and put on, the clothes were not yet dry, and told the queen mother in detail.
The queen was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time, she sank her face and sneered and said: "It seems that someone can't wait to make a move on the emperor of this palace, and the palace should be rectified."
The eldest prince was puzzled and asked, "Can the queen mother guess who is calculating the child?"
"How can you give someone a handle to kill someone with a knife, I thought she would settle down for two days, but it seems that she almost succeeded in trying the knife." The queen smiled coldly and said in a flat tone. In her heart, she thought that someone had told her that Concubine Lian and Concubine Xian had met twice and said a few words, but she didn't take it to heart, and she didn't expect that Concubine Xian, a fool, would be used.
All women who have children in the harem are uneasy, and she is also the one who helps the emperor defeat other princes to ascend the throne, how can she not understand the desire for a throne as a prince, and who would not want her son to ascend to the throne as a mother. Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian, it seems that the palace is too kind to you, and she dares to calculate the emperor of the palace, and she is impatient.
The queen solemnly ordered: "Emperor, you must keep in mind this time, no one in the palace can be trusted except for the queen mother. If there is anything you can discuss with the queen mother, Liao Zhongcheng should be old and should be a person, Fang Ronghua is a person, and the emperor can use this person to help you. β
The queen was thinking in her heart that Yue Yujin was too smart, and she was worthy of the palace to help your family speak in front of the empress dowager. It's just that you don't want to have anything to do with the royal family, I'm afraid it's up to you, we have a common enemy, you have to help this palace get rid of the cancer of Concubine Lian. The queen secretly decided that whoever dared to beat him for the emperor's idea, she would take someone's life.
Yu Jin didn't ask what was going on in the palace at all, if the queen couldn't even settle this matter, it would be better not to sit in the back seat.
During the day, Yan Yi and Yan Qi taught makeup and disguise techniques, and late at night, Yu Jin disguised herself as A Xiu, and walked briskly through the formation into Xinglin Courtyard.
Yan Yi and Yan Qi saw Yu Jin's eyes light up and nodded slightly, Zhu Yuchen saw Yu Jin coming in in Ah Xiu's clothes, looked behind him with some doubts, and then looked at Yu Jin again, then stood up and walked in front of Yu Jin and asked, "What about your young lady, when will you come over?"
