Chapter 021: The First Signs (1)
"......"
The senior brother stopped for a moment, and said sullenly: "I always feel that no matter what the king does, His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun should not be like this." ”
"Senior brother."
I sighed and replied helplessly: "At any time, never entrust your life to another person, believe that others are happy, but what if you are let down?" What's more, that person was born in the royal family, first of all, he had to be the future emperor before he could be someone else. ”
The senior brother bowed his head silently, and he snorted, and he didn't know how much he listened to my words.
Then he asked, "What should we do next?" ”
I put my finger on my chin, thought for a moment, and said, "You first find the guards who were responsible for guarding the palace gate and the king's bedroom when the emperor's eldest grandson carried His Royal Highness into the palace, and I will look for you tonight." ”
After a pause, he added: "It's best to keep this matter secret and not be known by others." ”
Although I feel that Xiao Zhuo is now in charge of handling the government and strictly guarding all palace gates, it is impossible to hide it from him, but I still mention it.
At night, when I arrived at Fu's house, my brother was talking to the guards, who were sitting in the middle of the room, with a dazzling array of dishes on the table, and drinking wine one by one.
Since the reason given by the senior brother earlier was-
Recently, the royal city has not been very peaceful, and it is really hard for you to guard the palace gate, so you will prepare a banquet in the palace to show your reward.
So, no one doubts what our purpose is.
Knowing that the banquet had not yet dispersed, I did not go in to disturb each other, but under the leadership of the butler, I came to the senior brother's study, which was only separated by a wall, and there was a window open in it, so that I could hear the movement on their side clearly.
I took a book from the table and stood by the wall, and through the pale blue screen, I could see the figure next door swaying.
I only heard the senior brother ask: "I heard that some time ago, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson of the emperor went down to meet the king with the little hall that was just born in the mansion, how does the little highness look, I haven't had a chance to see it yet." ”
One of the guards continued, "My lord, you don't even have a chance to see us, let alone us?" ”
"But ......"
He paused for a moment, and then said: "That day, the situation of His Royal Highness did not seem to be very good, His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun held him, and just arrived at the gate of the king's bedroom, and left without even entering the place. ”
The senior brother sighed, very strange: "Why is this?" ”
"I don't know."
The man shook his head, and then replied: "The people in the palace guess that it may be His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson that day, carrying him to the East Palace to worship, I am afraid that he has touched something unclean......"
He meant something, and suddenly realized something, afraid that he would say too much and offend the nobleman, so his voice gradually lowered.
The senior brother was also reluctant to do so, so he raised a few glasses of wine and drank with them before he began to inquire again, intentionally or unintentionally.
As a result, the same is true of other people's rhetoric.
It is said that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor, entered the palace with his little highness, and when he passed by the East Palace, he proposed to go in and have a look, and everyone thought that the small hall of the house was born, which reminded him of the prince and Shujin Niangniang, so he didn't care too much.
After arriving at the king's bedroom, the emperor's eldest grandson said that His Royal Highness was unwell, and the king was asleep on the dragon couch, so it was inconvenient to go in and disturb him, so he took His Royal Highness out of the palace again.
Seeing that my brother had asked all the words he had prepared, and that the guards had given the expected answers, I waited impatiently, stood by the wall, and tapped the window three times with my knuckles.
But I heard the senior brother say: "Have fun today, you and my brother get together, it's really rare, don't be polite, everyone won't get drunk and won't return." ”
