262. Covert movements
Zhu Gaoxu's eyebrows were raised, but his eyes rolled and he took something out of his coat pocket and held it in his hand, "Does anyone want to play?" ”
I saw that it was like a small dagger, and my heart tightened, "Don't let them play with it." But Xiao Yuan'er was immediately attracted by the small dagger in Zhu Gaoxu's hand, and ran away from me to reach it.
Zhu Gaoxu deliberately raised the little dagger, but said, "If you want to, call Uncle Xu." ”
Then Xiao Yuan'er opened her mouth very spinelessly and shouted, "Uncle Xu." Zhu Gaoxu smiled, but he also sold Guanzi: "Then what is your name to Uncle Xu?" Xiao Yuan'er replied crisply: "My name is Yuan'er." He almost climbed up Zhu Gaoxu's body, seeing that the dagger was really about to be reached, I reached out and grabbed it first, but found that the blade of the dagger was wrapped in a layer of transparent material, the blade was wrapped in it, and it felt good to the touch, soft, mainly because it didn't seem to be able to get it down, and the blade inside was also clear.
"Doesn't that seem strange? This knife is my treasure, playing small and playing big, sharpening iron like clay. And do you see the scabbard outside? It was a special material in the mountains, and I brought it back by accident, and my father used it to make a scabbard and make a hidden button. So Xiaolan, don't worry, as long as the hidden buckle is not opened, you can't pull out this knife. ”
Listening to Zhu Gaoxu's explanation, I also found the hidden buckle, it turned out that there was a card slot on the handle, and this transparent soft scabbard was pressed into the card slot, I have to say that the design is quite chic.
Xiao Yuan'er came to grab the knife in my hand again, and I gave it to him to play. I heard Zhu Gaoxu say beside me: "When we met for the first time, I didn't prepare any gifts for my eldest nephew, so I gave him this knife to play with." ”
I was slightly startled and turned my head to look at him, "Isn't this your personal weapon?" ”
"Cut, what's a close weapon? The man's husband is naturally holding a big knife and iron gun, who still uses this? It's just that it was given to me by my father when I was a child, so I always keep it with me. ”
Hearing him say this, I also accepted it, how can Yuan'er also call him uncle, he can afford this title, and Yuan'er can also accept this gift. Look at Xiao Yuan Erle's mouth over there, he can't put down the knife in his hand, and he doesn't even let Xin'er ask him to come and see, and he can't hide it when he looks left and right.
"See? My eldest nephew loved the gift. Zhu Gaoxu said triumphantly.
Xiaoxiao took the wine, and then followed someone to send snacks and fruit plates to the pavilion, and Zhu Gaoxu sat down again. He was not polite to me, he took the wine jug and the glass and poured a glass for me first, and then poured a glass for himself, "Xiaolan, let's have a drink first." ”
Before I could get the cup, Xiaoxiao had already reminded me to stop it: "Niangniang, you should not drink." ”
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned, "Why can't you drink?" ”
"Niangniang's body ......" Xiaoxiao was anxious to explain, but was interrupted by me: "It's rare to have a drink." But when he picked up the wine glass, he was held down by Zhu Gaoxu, raised his head and asked with a smile: "You tell me why she can't drink first?" ”
Xiaoxiao came to see me, and she didn't dare to confide in me with my permission. And I don't need to say more about such behavior, and sure enough, Zhu Gaoxu's face suddenly appeared: "Is it because you were injured before?" How badly did you hurt? If you say it or not, if you don't say it, I'll ask the emperor. I was also helpless when I heard this, if I insisted on not saying it, I was afraid that he would really run to ask Ah Ping, so I had to confide the truth: "At that time, I was seriously injured, so that I was in a coma for nearly half a year. ”
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly stood up, his eyes widened in shock: "What did you say?" Half a year in a coma? ”
I was relatively calm, and my emotions did not fluctuate so much after experiencing the wind and waves, and this matter did pass, so I patted the stone table and said lightly: "It's all over, what's the fuss, sit down." ”
Zhu Gaoxu showed a funny expression on his face when I counted them, and sat down reluctantly and said: "What's the fuss, I never knew that you were so badly injured, what I heard before was that you were killed by the people in the harem, but it's okay anymore." Where did you think it would be so serious, since that's the case, then you better not drink it. As soon as the words fell, he took the wine glass in front of me, and then asked Xiaoxiao, "Is there any tea or something?" ”
But he laughed and said: "Niangniang's body can't drink tea for the time being, and the slave maid has prepared medicinal soup for Niangniang." ”
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the black soup brought to the table with a smile, and asked in a daze, "You drink this every day?" I glanced at him, "I wanted to take your chance to have a drink." ”
He looked embarrassed, "Although I would like to have a few drinks with you, but you are in such poor health, don't do it." Later, I will send a message back and ask someone to send the thousand-year-old ginseng that my father has hidden to you to replenish your body. ”
I could tell that there was something else in his voice, and I couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to stay with your father for a while this time?" ”
"It should be, we've been in Beijing for a while, and we won't leave for the time being."
The ambiguous words made me pause in my heart, and I turned my eyes to Xiaoxiao and Yun Gu and ordered: "You take the children to the side to play first." After the screen retreated, I looked back at Zhu Gaoxu, "Can you tell the truth now?" ”
His eyes flashed, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at me, but he denied it: "I don't know what you're talking about." ”
I chuckled, "Axu, you may have grown a lot, but you are still transparent in front of me, and you can't be careful." It's not so easy for you to come in the harem, why you fought with Yan Qi, you didn't explain, I guess I sneaked in and was bumped into by Yan Qi. ”
Zhu Gaoxu raised his eyes and looked at me for a moment, and finally confessed: "Xiaolan, I won't hide it from you." My father and my eldest brother and I have been in Beijing for almost a month, and we have been living in the courtyard of the capital, I don't know what the emperor thinks, he seems to want to keep us in Beijing all the time. In fact, in the last period of the emperor's grandfather, I don't understand, why the sky suddenly changed, the second emperor uncle and the third emperor uncle were given death for different crimes, and then when Brother Wei ascended the throne, nothing special happened at first, but just two months ago, the edict was issued to Beiping, so that my father and us went to Beijing to discuss the matter of sacrificing to the sky. On the way to Beijing, I heard that the Twelfth Emperor's Uncle died violently in the house, I can't say that people are panicked, I just always feel very uneasy, especially since we have been in Beijing for almost a month, but the emperor has been staying in the other courtyard since then, except for the first few days when he summoned his father and me. ”
After listening to Zhu Gaoxu's words, I was extremely shocked in my heart, what did Ah Ping want to do?
I don't care about Zhu Gaoxu's motives for now, he just wants to persuade Ah Ping through me, and it may have been arranged by Zhu Di.
But what I can't figure out is why Zhu Yuanzhang gave his two sons to death before he died, and Ah Ping has already started to do it? Otherwise, why would Zhu Di's family be equated with house arrest in the capital, and it is unlikely that another prince died violently on the way to them. Obviously, the killing began before Zhu Yuanzhang died, and Ah Ping took the knife handed to him by his grandfather after he ascended to the throne, but why is this?
From what I know about Ah Ping, there is no reason for him to do this. Even if he may have had the right to be an emperor before, but those people were his imperial uncles, and they were connected to him by blood, how could they really be so vicious?
"Xiaolan, what are you thinking?" Zhu Gaoxu interrupted my contemplation, and he said with a guilty face: "Actually, I don't really want to come to you, but the main reason is that I haven't seen you for too long and want to come to see you, and in fact, I lied to you before, and I only heard about your injury after I arrived in the capital; The second is that I really don't want anything to happen anymore, I was born and died with Brother Wei and fought against foreign enemies together, in my heart he is a brother. ”
I pondered for a long time before I said softly, "You go back first, let me think about it." ”
Zhu Gaoxu opened his mouth, wanted to speak and stopped, and after a pause, he got up and walked outside the pavilion, but turned his head after walking more than ten steps, "Xiaolan, you may have defined me in your heart, but I ...... you It hasn't changed. ”
I was stunned when I saw the figure gradually disappearing, Zhu Gaoxu, maybe you think that you have never changed to me, but do you know that you have stood on the opposite side of me? And one day, your iron cavalry will set foot on this capital. What's more, you have actually changed, at least you never played tricks on me before, but now you still have these actions in order to protect yourself.
However, I don't care too much about this, and I am even grateful to Zhu Gaoxu for coming to convey this message to me this time, otherwise I am afraid that I will be concealed until I don't know when. Asked Yun Gu and Xiaoxiao where Ah Ping was at this time, they said that it was still the time of the dynasty, and it was a clear rule that the harem should not interfere in the government affairs, so I had to go to the imperial study first to wait.
After being this queen, it was the first time to come to Ah Ping's imperial study, and I was not in the mood to appreciate the things in the room, so I sat in the chair and waited for him to go down to the court while thinking about my thoughts. When I heard the movement outside, I immediately came back to my senses, got up and walked to the door to greet him, but in addition to Ah Ping and the people behind him, my heart was tight, Zhu Di!
