Chapter 65: His Guardian
"Something." Rong Yunxi only said this.
Actually, I'm not in a hurry, I'm just curious. I was worried that I would be late, so the matter was solved.
Even if King Chen doesn't care if her body is actually innocent, he must care about her reputation outside. This is the face of the palace. Therefore, King Chen will definitely find a way to deal with it. And...... She believes that King Chen will be able to deal with it extremely well.
It's just a little curious to see how he will operate in the court.
When the time came, most of the houses had turned off the lights and were ready to go to bed, but as soon as the drum sounded, the sound of "mighty" would still cause a lot of movement in the vicinity. Those who have not yet fallen asleep inevitably come out to watch with good faith.
It's so dark and late at night, and it's not easy to be noticed by pretending to be a little guy in it.
Back at Zhaode Courtyard, Rong Yunxi found the little girl's clothes that he wore when he went to the lady's shop with King Chen, and quickly combed his own hair. I found a plain lantern that didn't write and lit it, and explained to the early summer, "I'll go to the mansion, you rest early", and went out.
"Miss, the slave will go with you......" Chuxia chased out.
"It's inconvenient for you to wear this dress, you look like a girl from a rich family. I'll just go by myself, you can rest early. ”
"But Miss, it's so late...... "Early Summer is very uneasy."
"It's okay, the government must be very lively. What's more, the city of Kyoto is very peaceful, and I'm dressed like this, so I'll be fine. Rong Yunxi said.
In early summer, he was still not at ease: "The slave went to find someone to borrow a small girl's clothes." ”
"Okay, don't make a fuss, delay any longer, the show is over. Go back to your room, don't be verbose. Rong Yunxi said with a smile.
As he spoke, he had walked out of the courtyard quickly.
Rong Yunxi arrived at the back door, and a family member who was keeping vigil in the hut on the side came to ask, and Rong Yunxi showed his princess's house card. The family gave a salute and let her pass.
Out of the palace of King Chen, he walked briskly all the way to the mansion.
When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw a carriage with a large lantern with the words "Prince's Mansion" and "Chen", parked near the big stone lion next to the palace. At the gate of the government office, there were already a crowd of onlookers.
There was a lantern lit in front of the yamen, and Rong Yunxi extinguished his lantern and went into the crowd. Fortunately, there were not many onlookers, and Rong Yunxi easily squeezed to the front. Naturally, it was not in the middle of the crowd, but at the very edge. There was a doorpost of the government that blocked her face, and besides, it was dark under the lamp, and the people inside could not see her clearly.
In the courtyard and in the lobby, the lights are bright, except for the face that can't be seen clearly, Rong Yunxi can still see the situation inside.
King Chen, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, sat on a high chair on the right side of the hall, while the prince sat on the left.
With the crown prince and King Chen here, Fu Yin didn't dare to take a seat, so he just walked around the hall to resolve the embarrassment.
Under the hall, kneeling were two strong men dressed in rivers and lakes, and a man who looked like a businessman.
The hall was very quiet, and there was no noise, except that the two strong men occasionally said a few words, and saw that there was a master book on the small table beside them, and they were making changes according to their words. It's like painting.
The hall was quiet, and the people watching outside were also quiet, and there was no sound of discussion.
Rong Yunxi waited quietly with these onlookers......
In the public hall, King Chen sat leisurely on the chair, glanced at the prince who was leaning on the chair and frowned, but did not say anything.
Sensing King Chen's gaze, the prince also glanced at him, but he didn't say anything.
The two people kneeling in the hall now were not arranged by him, and it was not his expectation that the court would open the trial overnight tonight.
"The third child is a great handiwork......," the prince thought to himself.
He heard a report from someone in the palace, saying that the prisoner had been arrested, and the lord was trying it, and asked His Highness if he wanted to go over. That's how I found out.
With Yue Huai's ability, how can he catch the unwarranted people in the rivers and lakes? What's more, even if you catch it, you don't have to try it overnight, right? It's obviously the meaning of the third child.
But even after listening to the instructions of the third child, Yue Huai didn't dare to completely hide it from him to end the matter, and specially sent someone to tell him. Is it thinking that neither side will be offended, where is there such a good thing in this world?
If you listen to King Chen's orders, then you are King Chen's people. Think that if you sell a good child to this palace, this palace will be able to receive your love?
Hehe...... The reason why this Lord Yue bet on both sides was because he couldn't eat on either side, and he didn't know who would win in this competition. And he can actually see that in fact, King Chen is also in this rush, which already shows that he is an extremely smart person.
The prince glanced at King Chen, the third child was so anxious to end the matter before him, and he did not hesitate to find a dead man to clean up the mess for him, for the sake of Rong Yunxi's reputation.
Otherwise, even if this matter is solved by himself, it will only be a matter of two days after tomorrow. casually found two people, confessed their guilt, and said that they had stolen the property of the prince's mansion and abducted the bodies of the beauties, and the matter was over. In this way, the only impact on the third child is that his princess has lost her reputation.
So now the third child is working so hard for him to clean up the aftermath, just to save Princess Chen's reputation.
The third child is very interested in this Rong Yunxi, but he really cares about it.
After another moment, the master book had already finished drawing three pictures under the description of these two "gangsters".
The master showed them the drawings and asked; "Is that these three women?"
"Poor...... Pretty much! One of them has a black mole on his face.
The other person saw it and nodded: "Official, we can also talk to this extent." After all, we are not those who read, we don't have the ability to talk about the beauty of life! ”
Yue Huai nodded, took the portrait from the master's hand, and presented it to the prince with both hands: "Your Highness, these are the three beauties they ruined." ”
"Oops...... My lord, don't talk nonsense! The two of us are just little minions, how can such a good thing happen to us? It's not our fault! "The man with a black mole on his face.
The prince looked at the two of them, although he said that he was reckless, but his eyebrows were magnificent, how could he be compared to those rivers and lakes who were reckless?
couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "Third child, you are really bloody." ”
At this point, there is no need to hide anything. It's just not too explicit to say it, a joke, it doesn't hurt to talk about it.
King Chen smiled and didn't deny anything.
The prince looked at the three portraits carefully, nodded, and said, "Okay, the palace knows." ”
The man with the black mole said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have a good understanding! These three ladies are really not ruined by our brothers, they are all done! They originally planned to spoil Princess Chen and the other two beauties, but because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, a fight broke out. We two little minions are just trying to run for our lives, where do we have the heart to do this! ”
The prince smiled: "Strong man, you have already said that Princess Chen has not been insulted, and you have not even touched her. The palace and King Chen, as well as Lord Yue, as well as the officials present and the people at the door, can all hear it clearly, why do you have to emphasize it again? It's so deliberate, but it's inappropriate. ”
The prince was completely joking, but the implication was obviously that this person had come to pick Princess Qingchen on purpose.
The man with the black mole scratched his head in confusion and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, in short, the two little ones are really just little minions who run errands with the big brothers, we entered the Prince's Mansion, and we didn't even have a chance to get things!" They just loaded it up and threw it to us to help resist...... Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you must calm your anger and spare our brother's life......"
said, kowtowing like pounding garlic: "Ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be merciful!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spared the two villain brothers, and the villains must pray for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince every day...... Ask Your Highness for mercy......"
The other also prostrated with him.
The prince smiled, threw the three paintings aside, got up and said, "Okay, since the person has been caught, the palace that should know also knows it, and the rest of the matter will be handled by Lord Yue." The palace is also lacking, and Ming'er still has to go to the early court......"
Seeing that the prince was leaving, Yue Huai hurriedly bowed deeply and said respectfully: "Weichen respectfully sends His Royal Highness the Prince......
King Chen also got up, stretched lazily, and said, "Knowing that this king's princess has not been touched, this king is relieved!" Ah...... Now I can go back and get a good night's sleep...... Big brother, wait for me, let's go out together. ”
"Xiaguan respectfully sends His Royal Highness King Chen......" Yue Huai straightened up and bowed deeply again.
King Chen strode out with the crown prince.
Rong Yunxi saw King Chen coming, the light of the moon and the light of the lantern stretched his already handsome figure longer, and somehow, Rong Yunxi's heart was touched for a moment.
Even if he didn't hear the whole process of the interrogation, from the conversation that just came out of the hall, Rong Yunxi had already heard that these two so-called gangsters were found by King Chen, and the reason why the case was tried overnight was only because of King Chen's arrangement. And he is for the sake of protecting her name.
No matter what his starting point is for doing this, she will benefit in the end. And when he did this, he could indeed be called protecting her.
King Chen walked to the door of the palace courtyard, and somehow, his eyes swept over these onlookers. At this glance, I saw the one hiding behind the doorpost, only revealing the upper half of his face, looking at his Rong Yunxi.
King Chen was stunned. How did she get here? Or is it still this outfit......
But then, he looked at her and smiled.
Rong Yunxi didn't expect King Chen to look at him, so he had been looking at him unscrupulously just now. But who knew that his gaze suddenly swept over, and for a while there was no way to dodge, and the eyes of the two collided like this......
