Chapter 109: Autumn Hunting
"There is no specific news, but I know that the emperor plans to take some princes and officials in the capital to hunt in the next few days, and he may be about to make an order. ”
Han Xiaoxiao rubbed his chin and said a little distractedly: "Now the most favored people in the capital are nothing more than the crown prince and King Cheng, these two people should be brought by the emperor, the fifth prince caused trouble some time ago, he should be left in the capital, let's go meet the five princes, when King Cheng is not there, this is our biggest reliance." ”
He Sifeng shook his head with a pale face, "This is not necessarily, generally speaking, as long as the emperor leaves the capital, he will leave a prince to supervise the country, and the prince may not be able to be taken away, as long as the prince is still there, the five princes will not be able to help us even if they are desperate." ”
Han Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly, and helplessly played with the jade pendant in his hand: "In this way, I'm afraid our life won't be easy during this time, can you tell us to follow the emperor's team?"
He Sifeng rubbed her head, looked at the sunlight outside and whispered: "Don't make trouble, this is impossible, now it can only be covered by soldiers." ”
At this moment, the carriage came to a slow stop, and the guard who was driving the carriage raised his hand very respectfully and knocked on the door.
"It's already at the house, and the master can come down. ”
Hu Hua was very irritable after a period of fright, and got out of the carriage without saying much.
A familiar voice rang out beside a few people, "How did you become like this when you went out on this trip?
When He Sifeng came back to his senses, he saw King Cheng standing at the door, looking at them with a very playful look in his eyes, and hurriedly arched his hand to salute.
"It's not a big deal, but I saw something terrible, and it's inconvenient to say it here, so please go in with us. ”
King Cheng came to them to discuss things, and when he heard this, he nodded and followed up, but he looked at their faces and knew that this matter would not be easy, and his heart sank for a while.
A few people walked all the way in silence, and only when they sat on the chair and drank a sip of hot tea did they come to their senses, Hu Hua glanced at Han Xiaoxiao, and wanted her to say it first, but Han Xiaoxiao ignored it, lowered his head vigorously, and just didn't look at them.
Hu Hua had no choice but to speak by himself, "We went to the Princess's Mansion today, where we met Master Qingchan and Han Houfei, they ......"
King Cheng took the words slowly, and his expression was not a little panicked: "Did you see the Qingchan refining puppets? Maybe you also saw the weird dance of those puppets?"
Han Xiaoxiao's hand shook violently, and the hot tea spilled on her hand, which hurt her.
"What do you mean by that, that you already knew about it, or did you do it too?"
He Sifeng held Han Xiaoxiao's trembling hand and said calmly: "I believe that Your Highness is not that kind of person, but I still hope that Your Highness will explain this matter, otherwise it will be difficult for us to follow Your Highness again." ”
As if he had guessed the reaction of several people, King Cheng coughed unhurriedly, and his eyes turned around and stopped at Hu Hua with a complicated expression.
"Does Hu Gongzi think the same way?"
Hu Hua actually didn't want to offend King Cheng, after all, his family was now tied to King Cheng, but as long as he thought of those weird scenes and Qing Chan's contemptuous smile, he couldn't calm down, and after enduring it for a while, he closed his eyes and said: "We chose His Royal Highness instead of the prince because His Royal Highness cares about the people and is upright and kind, if His Royal Highness really did such a thing, we may ......."
King Cheng sighed twice and waved his hand to interrupt Hu Hua's words.
"You don't have to be so close to the enemy, I just know, if you really do such a thing, you won't say it so fanfare, this is the news that my spies got a few days ago, I didn't expect that I was bumped into by you before I could verify it. ”
Hu Hua let out a long sigh of relief and scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"It scared me, I thought that His Highness was not taboo about these things. ”
King Cheng's teacup in his hand smiled coldly, and his eyes slowly showed contempt: "Although I don't think this thing is terrifying, but I'm not interested, the prince has degenerated to this extent now, I won't condone them with reason, so don't worry about this matter anymore." ”
The four of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, Zhang Lang touched the sweat on his head and said in a trembling voice: "I know that His Royal Highness has a great cause and wants to focus on big things, but the princess's mansion is getting more and more excessive, and I ask Your Highness to save those who are in deep suffering." ”
King Cheng has been in the army for a long time, and what he hates the most is this kind of person who opens his mouth and closes his mouth to be benevolent, righteous and moral, so he frowned and said as gently as possible: "I understand what you mean, but there are still many twists and turns, if we really break into it at a loss, just Qingchan's illusion is enough for us to not get out." ”
The words have already been said to this point, Zhang Lang can't say anything even if he is in a hurry, so he left the small courtyard with a confession.
King Cheng saw that the people had already left, and then he began to get down to business, "I came to you this time to discuss other things, just now a eunuch came to my mansion to give an order, saying that my father is going to hunt in autumn in a few days, and I will stay in the capital to supervise the country, what do you think?"
Hu Hua was so shocked that he almost didn't hold the cup in his hand, pointed at King Cheng and said tremblingly: "Isn't it always the prince who has always been with him, and the prince is in charge of the country?"
Although King Cheng's face was not obvious, he couldn't hide the smugness between his eyebrows and eyes, and said slowly: "It's not clear, I think my father is tired of the prince during this time, but I still need you to do me a small favor in this matter." ”
The expression on Han Xiaoxiao's face cooled down from when King Cheng began to perfunctory Zhang Lang, and at this time, Wen Yan suddenly opened his mouth: "Do you want to make this matter known to everyone through us, and then let your subordinates be able to use the prince's people for their own use?"
King Cheng lightly tapped the table with his finger, and nodded very proudly: "You're right, I've been preparing for so long, I really don't want to wait, as long as I can defeat the prince's power when I am in charge of the country this time, then my ascension to the position of the East Palace will be just around the corner." ”
Han Xiaoxiao suddenly sneered, and she didn't care if the face towel on her face fell to the ground with the wind, she just stared at King Cheng and said coldly: "I originally thought you were a smart person, but I really didn't expect you to be so stupid." ”
