Chapter Seventy-Five: Face Saint
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie cares, although he has encountered some dangers, but fortunately, there is no big problem."
When he saw the prince appear here, Situ Xi observed a change in the expression on Zuo Mingli's face, and he seemed to have great respect for the prince, which could be seen from his attitude when he saluted the prince.
"It's fine." Zuo Mingche let out a long breath, patted Zuo Mingli's shoulder, and then put his eyes on Yu Yan and Zhong Xiu on the side, "Two generals, I have already heard the secret guard talk about the matter, and the two of you have worked hard, my father must have known it at this time, and I ask you to go to the palace with Gu." ”
"Yes!" The two generals were no longer noisy at this time, and when they received Zuo Mingche's order, they immediately responded respectfully to him.
"Well, it turns out that the Nine Kings are also here today, as well as Shen Yan and Mo Ge'er." Zuo Mingche glanced at the young people in front of him again, he took a few steps forward, and slowly came to Zuo Mingli, who was still leaning over.
"Brother Huang, you are always so estranged from your brother, why do you have to do this? But today I really want to talk to you. ”
Zuo Mingche's tone began to become a little harsh.
"I heard that the gangsters are here for the money of the merchants? As far as Gu knows, these merchants are gathered here by you this time. ”
"Presumably, a few of you came here today at the invitation of Ming Li, right?" Zuo Mingche turned his head to Situ Xi and asked them gently.
Seeing a few people nodding, Zuo Mingche continued: "Imperial brother, since you have invited guests, you should be responsible for their safety, with your cautious nature, how could you make such a mistake today." ”
"You should start the wording at this moment, and think about how to explain it to your father later."
"Don't blame Gu for speaking badly, Gu just hopes that you can learn a lesson and slack off in the future. Life is only once, you are like this, and so are your guests, have you ever thought about what kind of situation your father would be in if you had three long and two short today? ”
From the standpoint of Emperor Chu, if these black-robed people are really allowed to succeed today, then he will not only suffer the pain of losing his son, but also face pressure from Zhong Lijia, King Mi, and even Zhaoguo and many other aspects.
"Your Highness, you may not know that the real purpose of these gangsters today seems to be to assassinate His Royal Highness King Geng......" Yu Yan suddenly interjected at this time to explain the situation to Zuo Mingche, in the end, Zuo Mingli was the one who was almost victimized today, and if he was held accountable in this case, it was indeed a bit too harsh.
"What?" Zuo Mingche was suddenly stunned, and he hurriedly grabbed Zuo Mingli's shoulder and checked it up and down.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried, and I will explain it to my father later." Zuo Mingli pushed the hand of the crown prince Zuo Mingche away, and after a slight arch, he turned his head to Situ Xi and the others.
"I'm really sorry for you brothers today, it's this king who has caused you trouble, and then this king will definitely compensate you."
Zuo Mingli, Zhong Limo and Zuo Shenyan waved their hands again and again, but Situ Xi was speculating about the relationship between the two royal children in front of him.
From the conversation just now, the relationship between the two people in front of them is a little delicate, Zuo Mingche seems to care about this younger brother very much, and Zuo Mingli is obviously a little unappreciative.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, without further ado, let's go now." Zuo Mingli took the lead and walked down the steps.
"Your Highness......" Seeing this, Yu Yan on the side was a little difficult to do, and he didn't know if he should follow at this time.
"Forget it, let's go to the palace." Zuo Mingche turned around and stared at Zuo Mingli's back, shook his head, and instructed the slave beside him, "Come on, prepare a sedan chair." ”
……
Xuan'an Palace.
Chu Emperor Zuo Duyuan was sitting upright on a tamarin seat and tasting tea at the moment, the white mist-like heat rose in the cup, and the tea fragrance on the table was overflowing.
"The saints are all waiting outside the temple." The old eunuch Huai Ze respectfully walked into the hall and reported the situation to Emperor Chu, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also there." ”
"Bring them in." Emperor Chu said lightly.
Without shouting loudly, Hua Ze turned around and went out, and soon led Situ Xi and his party into the palace, and as for the chow chow given by King Geng, it was sent home with the help of an attendant.
The palace always feels atmospheric and solemn, and the palace of Chu is no exception, Situ Xi has gone all the way, but he has not felt too much about how magnificent the buildings in this palace are, but he feels that the atmosphere is very solemn.
The decoration in the palace in front of me can be called simple, and even relatively empty.
A middle-aged man in a thin red robe was sitting directly above him drinking tea, he was sitting cross-legged, with no crown on his head and no other ornaments on his body, his face was expressionless and slightly pale.
The people around him all lowered their heads when they entered the hall, and Situ Xi didn't notice that only he was looking directly at the holy face.
This person is Emperor Chu, what should I say, maybe it was because he was labeled as a "monarch" in his heart in advance, Situ Xi could feel a little coercion from him, but in addition, he gave people the impression of an ordinary middle-aged man at the moment.
"The son visits his father."
"See Your Majesty."
Situ Xi saluted like a few people around him.
"Get up, I'm afraid you're scared today, right?" Emperor Chu didn't get up, he asked everyone to be flat with one hand, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked everyone with a chuckle.
Hearing his gentle and slightly teasing voice, the hearts of the young people below also relaxed a little.
Zuo Duyuan's gaze swept over the faces of everyone below, and finally stopped on Zuo Mingli's body, and he restrained his smile.
"Li'er, since you are still alive, let's go and see your mother first, go and see what she looks like at the moment, and then come to see me."
"Yes."
Everyone's eyes focused on Zuo Mingli, his expression was stunned, and after kneeling down again and kowtowing to Zuo Duyuan, he turned around and withdrew from the palace.
"And Che'er, I remember that I just sent someone to send some documents about governance to the East Palace yesterday, you shouldn't have finished reading it, why did you run to the East Market early in the morning?" Zuo Duyuan looked puzzled, but he didn't blame Zuo Mingche.
"Back to my father, today is the day when Erchen went out for a walk, when Erchen passed by Dongshikou, he heard the news that the street was ransacked, and then learned from the secret guard that the second brother was also there, and he was worried about his safety, so he immediately rushed over." Zuo Mingche is diligent and hardworking on weekdays, and he manages his schedule very carefully, and he will take a morning out to go to the city to relax.
"That's the case......" Hearing Zuo Mingche's explanation, Zuo Duyuan nodded, "That's really a coincidence, it's okay for you guys to be fine." ”
