Chapter 40 Prince Yi has entered Beijing
Jiuwang and Sanjie worked hard all the way, and they didn't know how many horses they had changed. In the middle of the night, he entered Kyoto, showed the token of the nine kings, and the Shoucheng soldiers immediately let them go after just one look!
"Lord, are we going back to the house or entering the palace now." Sanjie carefully and respectfully asked the Nine Kings.
"It's so late, let's go home and rest first. As for entering the palace, I will make plans tomorrow morning. The Nine Kings pulled the reins and said without replying. Continue to hunch over and gallop on horseback.
"Yes." Sanjie got the reply of the nine kings, and continued to rush to the palace with the nine kings.
"Subordinates, see the Nine Kings." As soon as the guards of the palace saw the prince and Sanjie coming on horseback, they quickly knelt down to greet them.
Jiuwang and Sanjie turned over and dismounted neatly, "Get up!" In the few days that this king is away, has something happened in the house? ”
The soldiers on the side hurriedly took the reins from the hands of the nine kings, and then handed them to the soldiers behind them. "Back to the prince, Wang Guogong has come to you in the past few days. The subordinates told Wang Guogong that the Nine Kings, you have something to do, and you have gone out! He came to you for three days in a row. If I come to you tomorrow, my subordinates will probably have to change their reasons! Otherwise, it will anger Wang Guogong, and he will have to give birth to something else. Also, Aunt Mei in the house had a few words with Aunt Lian. ”
Ma Shen will accompany the nine kings into the palace, talking as he walks. When he said the last sentence, his voice was small and powerless.
The Nine Kings took off their cloaks, and the three heroes behind him took them with both hands and folded them in the crooks of their arms. Listening to the tone of the general, you know that it is not just a matter of bickering. "Hmph, what are they doing again? When the king was not in the house, these women made a fuss. The king should make another rule for them, that if the king is not in the palace, all those who participate in the troubles will be dragged into the courtyard and beaten with twenty sticks. The Nine Kings coldly set rules for them.
The butler of the concierge saw the nine kings enter the mansion and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. "The old slave sees the prince."
"Get up quickly, the king has said, you don't have to salute. In these days when this king is away, can he have a leg disease again? The Nine Kings stepped forward and helped the old butler who was half-kneeling on the ground in front of him.
"Back to the prince, the old slave is still strong and has never committed a crime." The old butler got up by the hand of the Nine Kings, and did not dare to really let the Nine Kings really help him. The Nine Kings love the people around him, but he treats the prince as a god-like existence. He has been very grateful to the Nine Kings for taking care of him over the years.
The Nine Kings knew that the old butler had always been strong, and even if he had a leg disease, he would never tell him. When he was sixteen years old when he was fighting on the battlefield, he was unfortunately ambushed by the enemy, and the butler, who was twenty years older than him, sacrificed himself to protect him. So that he didn't hurt the vital point, but the old housekeeper was stabbed several times. Although the knife wound on the leg was healed, it was often painful.
When he returned to the court with the Nine Kings class, he insisted on taking the old housekeeper back to his house. The old housekeeper's wife and daughter have been separated for many years, and the Nine Kings can't bear to let him be alone and have no one to take care of him. asked him to live in his own house for a long time and enjoy the blessings. But the old butler couldn't stay idle, and insisted on doing things for the nine kings, even if it was to guard the door. The Nine Kings could not bear to see him tired, so they let him manage the palace. Labor matters are all done by subordinates, and he only helps to see if there is anything wrong.
"The prince was tired all the way, and the old slave went to the kitchen to make some delicious meals. Then let people boil some hot water, and the prince and Sanjie rinse slightly, which can relieve fatigue. "The old butler is very happy, and really wants to care about the prince.
"Okay, this king just listens to you! It's just the same, you don't have to be tired, just tell others to do it. The Nine Kings knew that they could not stop the butler from busy, so they told him not to be tired.
The old butler got the order, and went to the back kitchen to prepare the meal and hot water!
General Ma Sen couldn't help but laugh: "If one person really beats twenty military sticks, I'm afraid that the prince is really left alone!" ”
"Since the king has said so, you don't have to take them seriously. Why are they raised, others don't know, don't you know! If the king is not happy, he will be able to bear the consequences. The Nine Kings strode through the door and walked towards their courtyard. What has the Prime Minister's Office done recently? The Nine Kings asked the general behind him.
"The Prime Minister's Mansion has been busy treating Miss Lin Er recently, and even closed the door. All banquets are refused. "Ma Shen will be a little puzzled, will he be closed for a doctor?
"Humph!" When the Nine Kings heard Ma Shenjiang's words, they couldn't help but let out a cold snort in their noses! See a doctor? If you are really sick, I am afraid that it will also hurt lovesickness. If it weren't for the appearance of this king, I'm afraid that Prime Minister Lin Cheng, your good daughter would have found you a son-in-law of the prince and came back!
Ma Shen heard the prince snort coldly, and looked at the prince in confusion. But the prince didn't say anything anymore!
"Lord Wang, my subordinates heard that Si Chong said that Prince Yi has entered Beijing! His sister, the princess Hongyuan, has also come to Kyoto! It's the girl who sneaked up on our rear. General Ma Shen specially reminded him, otherwise the prince would not have remembered it. The Nine Kings have never taken women very seriously.
"The woman?" The Nine Kings frowned, revealing an expression of disgust. "But do you find any other information?"
"Shichong reported that Prince Yi had been assassinated in an alley in Kyoto! Also wounded, on the 16th of July! On the day of the assassination, he also rescued a woman and went back to the station. The spies reported that Prince Yi had a close relationship with him. Prince Yi wants to be accepted as a concubine. "Ma Shen will relay the information that Si Chong conveyed to the Nine Kings.
When the Nine Kings heard this, they suddenly stopped and rescued a woman? Is that Lin Yating? The Nine Kings' sword-gripping hand grabbed and released. Jian eyebrows are tight, Prince Yi lives in the post station, how could he appear in Kyoto in the middle of the night! So what did he do when he came to Kyoto? Could it be a private meeting with the prime minister? It could also be other princes, or princely ministers.
There are too many possibilities, if he is a private prime minister, how can he not know Lin Yating's identity. Or maybe after he met the prime minister privately, he met Lin Yating on the road? He called him Wen Ye, and if he knew Wen Ye's identity, he wouldn't have to take him back to Beijing. You only need to ask the emperor for a marriage.
Also, where did those assassins come from? Is it Wang Guogong's person? Or the prime minister's person? Or which prince? Whoever this person is, the assassination of Prince Yi is intended to undermine the friendly relations between the two countries. Then it is very likely that he has colluded with other countries to plot against the Xuanjun Dynasty.
"So, have you found out where the Assassins came from?" The Nine Kings looked back at General Ma and regained their expression.
"That group of assassins said at the time that it was someone sent by Lin Guifei! The woman next to Prince Yi also said that it was Lin Guifei's sister. Lord Wang, do you say that woman is really Lin Guifei's sister? The second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion? General Ma looked at the prince in confusion.
It seems that that woman is really Lin Yating! That woman really dared to speak, and she was not afraid of being caught. Since she has already said her identity, why doesn't Prince Yi know her identity? The corners of the Nine Kings' eyes twitched slightly. Then he continued without saying a word. He and Ma Shen turned the corner and entered the third gate, and went straight to the residence.
