Chapter 254: Chasing the Wind and Shadows
The walls of the palace are high, and the shadows are building.
Because Zuo Qingyun held the waist card of the second prince, he did not encounter too many obstacles when he entered the palace.
"Left Squire."
hurriedly came to the palace of the second emperor, and as soon as Zuo Qingyun entered the door, he bumped into a little maid head-on.
Seeing that it was him, the little maid hurriedly saluted.
"What about the second prince?"
Nodding slightly, Zuo Qingyun asked.
"The second prince is waiting for you in the study, so you can just go in directly."
Walking through the front hall, Zuo Qingyun walked straight to the small courtyard.
Looking at the garden and pond in the small courtyard, Zuo Qingyun hooked the corners of his mouth.
The residence of the prince in the palace is also extraordinary, and the layout is exquisite.
A while ago, the crown prince was punished by the emperor, and while the second prince was happy, Zuo Qingyun found a copper tripod and gave it to him.
It is said that the bronze tripod was still used by the princes during the Warring States Period, and was later buried underground with the change of this era.
It wasn't until this year that it was dug up from an obscure county.
Zuo Qingyun found a master to appreciate the treasure, the master said that this copper tripod is quite aura, is a living thing, if the living birthday is thrown in the tripod, it can be suppressed by the person who has the copper tripod.
And in the Warring States Period, the copper tripod was a symbol of power.
After thinking about it in many ways, Zuo Qingyun presented the bronze tripod to the second prince.
The second prince is also a ruthless man, the front foot listened to the rumors, and the back foot ordered someone to lose the prince and the former nine princes' birthdays into it, and sealed the mouth of the Ding with impermeable oil paper, and let people hide the Ding in a small pond in the courtyard.
Others may not know about this matter, but Zuo Qingyun is clear.
Walking to the door of the second prince's study, Zuo Qingyun raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
A deep man's voice came out, and Zuo Qingyun pushed the door in.
In front of the bookcase, the second prince was writing with a pen.
His handwriting is strong and powerful, and he is often praised by the emperor.
"Zuo Qing, let's see how the words of this prince are written?"
As soon as he entered the door, Zuo Qingyun was called over by the second prince.
"Heaven rewards hard work, the second prince's handwriting is really better."
"Zuo Qing has a good eye."
In a good mood, he put the pen in his hand aside, and the second prince asked Zuo Qingyun at this time.
"It's late at night, Zuo Qing came in a hurry, but what's the matter?"
"The second prince is still quick-witted, and he knows that I have something to tell you at a glance."
In terms of sycophancy, Zuo Qingyun still has a unique opinion.
"Oh? What's the matter?"
The second prince also seemed to be interested.
"The last time I told you that I met someone outside the palace, I always felt familiar. So I went to check the identity of this person, but I didn't think that he was Jin Wuwei."
Taking two steps back, Zuo Qingyun arched his hand and said very respectfully.
"Jin Wuwei? So what?"
The second prince didn't understand what Zuo Qingyun meant, so he continued to ask.
"Jin Wuwei is the escort team at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he is in charge of the safety of the Son of Heaven, and now this team is managed by the people under the command of the Prince."
"So what?" The second prince still didn't understand.
"Although Jin Wuwei can also marry and have children, the person I know seems to have smuggled out from Jin Wuwei."
A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and Zuo Qingyun spoke.
"Sneaking out?"
Hearing this, the second prince reacted to what Zuo Qingyun wanted.
It was the people under the crown prince who managed Jin Wuwei, and Jin Wuwei directly served the Son of Heaven.
Now this team is so loosely managed, it even let the guards run out.
In this way, don't you not take the safety of the Son of Heaven into account?
"That's right, if Jin Wuwei leaves this team, he will have to hand in his waist card. But I know
The man, he still has the belt card in his hand."
Zuo Qingyun's analysis was the head, and the fox's eyes were full of calculations.
"Hahaha, in this way, is the prince inappropriate?"
Grabbing the handle of the crown prince, the second prince seemed to be very happy.
"As the second prince has seen, this matter is indeed inseparable from the crown prince."
Seeing that the second prince was happy, Zuo Qingyun was also busy arching the fire on the side.
"Okay, Zuo Qing, I'll send you to investigate this matter. If I find any traces, I will go to my father and tell him another day!"
For a long time, the second prince has been trampled under his feet because Wen Taowu is not as good as the prince.
Now that he can turn over, how could he let go of this opportunity?
"Second prince, don't worry, I will definitely live up to my trust." Zuo Qingyun immediately agreed,
"It's not too early, Zuo Qing will go back and rest as soon as possible." The second prince waved at him, then yawned.
"The second prince has worked a lot for national affairs, and he should also take care of his body."
"Zuo Qing is sympathetic, this prince knows, and you should rest earlier. There is a maid in my palace who is beautiful and beautiful, and if Zuo Qing doesn't give up, I will let her follow you."
In terms of winning people's hearts, the second prince also has a lot of experience.
Since he didn't give a thousand taels of gold, nor did he give gold, silver and jewelry, he rewarded a beautiful girl.
This beauty went to Zuo Qingyun's side, whether she was serving him or being an eyeliner by his side, I'm afraid it is unknown.
"Second prince, I already have an in-law in my family. Now I will take another concubine, I am afraid it will ......."
"What? Is it because the lady in your family is too cautious and refuses to let you take a concubine, or is it because you yourself are unwilling and want to refuse the prince's kindness?"
Suddenly, his face turned cold, and the second prince's tone was not good.
Since ancient times, the face of the Heavenly Family has changed faster than turning a book, so without waiting for Zuo Qingyun to finish speaking, the second prince interrupted unhappily.
"Don't dare, the second prince rewarded Mei Ji, and the minister was naturally overjoyed. If the second prince can treat the minister so kindly, the minister must remember it."
didn't dare to refute it again, Zuo Qingyun had no choice but to kneel and thank the second prince for his kindness.
When he left the palace, Zuo Qingyun was no longer alone.
Next to him was a woman dressed as a palace maid with a weft hat, and she kept following in the same direction, not daring to speak.
waited until the two of them came out of the palace before Zuo Qingyun stood still and reached out to take the hand of the palace maid.
"Rou'er, since the second prince has rewarded you to me, from now on, you will be my person. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, you will be both prosperous and lossy with the Zuo family."
It sounded like he was showing how good Zuo Qingyun would be to this Rou'er, but in fact he was just beating her.
If this little girl was smarter, she should understand the meaning of Zuo Qingyun's words.
She followed Zuo Qingyun, and she is the Zuo family.
In the future, even if you want to pass the news to the Tai Gong, you should still have a number in your heart about what you should say and what you shouldn't say.
Hurriedly pulled out her hand, and the maid named Rou'er suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Lord Zuo, Rou'er is just a little girl, and if she can marry you, it is Rou'er who has climbed high. Rou'er understands that from now on, I will definitely be devoted to you and regard you as Rou'er's heaven."
Looking at the woman kneeling on the ground with a beautiful face with satisfaction, Zuo Qingyun stretched out a hand and caressed her face lovingly.
"Rou'er, I will protect you from now on."
