Chapter 4 - A Wave 4
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince you are talking about, but the owner of this jade pendant, Zhuangzi!" I slowly spit out a sentence, my tone still very disbelieving, and my eyes kept falling on the jade pendant in her hand.
She nodded heavily and responded, "It is His Royal Highness the Prince, this jade pendant, whose real name is Jade Dragon Carved Jade, has always been His Highness's belongings." Besides, didn't His Highness tell you that his name is Zhuangzi? Don't you know? The royal surname of the Kingdom of Zhuang, His Royal Highness calls himself Zhuangzi outside the palace. ”
I looked at her blankly, didn't turn my head leisurely and pondered for a moment, and then looked at her again: "According to what you say, the Zhuangzi I saved is actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your country. ”
She still nodded heavily. Suddenly, she grabbed my hand and said with some excitement: "The regent intends to conspire against him, kill the former emperor, imprison the queen's mother, send people to hunt down and kill His Royal Highness the Prince, and support the incompetent and greedy King Gong as the emperor and seize power. Girl, everything that happened, in retrospect, makes me shudder. And the only one who can redeem all this is His Highness, where and where is he now! ”
I was a little stupid, as if I couldn't understand her words, I couldn't move in place, in fact, I was shocked by what she said, it turned out that Zhuangzi had experienced these things, no wonder he was hurt.
"Girl, since you saved our Highness, tell me where he is!" Seeing that I didn't answer, she asked anxiously again, and her whole body trembled a little.
I suddenly said that I gently comforted her, "Don't worry, your Highness is very good now, in Taoyuan Village in our Min Kingdom." ”
After I said Taoyuan Village, a smile finally appeared on her face, and she took a few steps back, muttering to herself, "Taoyuan Village, Taoyuan Village......"
But now I can't take care of so much, and I can't take care of these things about Zhuangzi or their country. What worries her more is that she is talking about the incompetent and greedy emperor. The regent wants to sacrifice me to him, how can I answer, I must leave this palace.
"Don't worry, your Highness is safe now, and the injuries on your body are fine, and you will definitely return to the country in a short time. Girl, I have been kind to your Highness, and now I beg you to let me go. I don't want to enter the palace, let alone serve the emperor. Without thinking, I pleaded with her, perhaps, for the sake of my life-saving grace to her master, she would let me go.
She looked up at me suddenly, and then walked to the door and pondered. Half-ringing, she looked back, "His Royal Highness was suspicious of the regent at the beginning, so he arranged for me to enter this palace to monitor the regent's every move. He knew that King Gong was greedy for beauty, so he sent beauties to the palace one by one, so that King Gong indulged in a debaucherous life all day long and forgot to return, while he was in charge to deal with the government. In the current palace, every gate out of the palace is guarded, and the girl may not be able to leave if she wants to. ”
Listening to her words, I immediately became anxious, "No, I have to leave, I don't want to enter the palace...... By the way, Zhuangzi is calm and wise, you quickly find him back and overthrow all this! ”
My mind at this time can only be described as disordered, and it is indeed not very secure to stand. But she was very calm now, and seeing that my mind could not be calm, she said softly: "Girl, there is only one way now." You follow the regent's instructions to enter the palace, and it is better not to resist, because it will not be good for you. I will immediately inform His Highness's henchman, the Commander of the Praetorian Guard, and find His Highness as quickly as possible. As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns to the court, the regent's plot can be overturned. However, it will take time. During this time, you have to learn to protect yourself. ”
I exhaled helplessly, shook my head and said, "How can I protect myself, I'm a doll at the mercy of others now." ...... unless you escape"
She held my hand tightly, her eyes were very firm, "Girl, this is the only way, if you don't obey, the regent may use some cruel means on you, you listen to me, now I alone can't help you at all, so I will enter the palace for the time being and wait for our news." Your Highness is a good man, and he will definitely save you. ”
"Then the emperor ..... me into the palace, how can I ......" I spit out these words intermittently, and I no longer had the courage to say it. I was still timid about entering the palace, and I wasn't too sure about myself.
She looked at me deeply, and then whispered a few words in my ear, which immediately left me speechless. However, it is the best way to do it at the moment.
When she had finished speaking to me, she straightened up to me, wondering what my answer was. I was a little overwhelmed, but I still agreed.
