Chapter 136 The Second Prince Who Borrowed Wine to Kill His Sorrows

"Your Highness!" The butler took off his coat for the second prince and handed him a cup of steaming hot tea.

"Yes!" The second prince took the hot tea and took a sip, only to feel that the cold air in his body was gone, "What has happened in the capital recently?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, there has been no major incident in the court recently, but there was an accident in Miaochun Pavilion a while ago."

When the housekeeper heard the second prince's question, his face changed slightly, he had been serving by the second prince's side for many years, and naturally he was also exposed to it, and he also learned some things that the second prince was planning.

"Huh?" The second prince raised his eyebrows, his eyes were a little gloomy, "What happened to Miaochun Pavilion?" "Not only that, but the eyelids actually began to twitch at this time, jumping left and right repeatedly, just like Ji Taimei, you are too beautiful.

The housekeeper cautiously glanced at the second prince, thought of a rhetoric in his heart, and then said: "Back to Your Highness, now there is no Miaochun Pavilion in the capital, and it has been destroyed." ”

Hearing this news, the second prince's heart was shocked, and now there is only one thought, could it be that Miaochun Pavilion has been exposed? Could it be that he was unintentionally exposed and discovered by his father? So he was noticed by his father and found out his intentions?

Suppressing the panic and doubts in his heart, he looked at the butler and said urgently, "Tell the prince everything you know." The clearer the better. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" The butler agreed.

"Your Highness, don't you know, on the night of the accident, there was a loud noise, and almost the entire capital heard it."

"I didn't know until the next day that something happened to Miaochun Pavilion. I hurriedly sent someone to find out the news, but I didn't expect that whether it was asking someone to find a relationship, or coercion and temptation, as long as this matter was discussed, those ministers' faces changed dramatically in an instant, and they just kept silent and began to fight with me haha. When I was in the middle of a small game, I was fortunate to ......."

"Wait!" The second prince interrupted the butler's report, "You mean that the ministers' faces have changed drastically one by one?" Silent on the matter? ”

"Yes." The butler pondered for a moment and nodded affirmatively.

The second prince's face turned pale in an instant, and he couldn't see a trace of blood, because of panic and fear, even his hands trembled slightly. Now I am more and more sure of my guess.

"Go on." The second prince picked up the hot tea, regardless of whether it was hot or not, he suffocated into his stomach in one breath, and as the hot tea entered his abdomen, his heart that was beating wildly because of panic and fear eased down a little, and his face was a little bloody.

"Please forgive your sins! The small one is not intentional! When the housekeeper saw the second prince's posture, he was so frightened that he quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

He has been engaged in the second prince's mansion for many years, and it is the first time he has seen the second prince in such a posture. He had never seen the second prince, who had always been murderous, show a frightened expression, and he couldn't say that he was afraid, to be precise, he was afraid of something.

It seems that he showed a look of fear because of what he just said, but he didn't seem to say anything! That's the truth! Those ministers really avoided them one by one, for fear of implicating themselves.

"It's okay! Don't blame you! The second prince rubbed his eyebrows and waved his hand, "Go on." ”

The housekeeper raised his head and saw that the second prince's face was bloody, and then he said cautiously: "Fortunately, the little one met Han Gongzi, and Han Gongzi saw that the little one was anxious, and he sympathized with the little one, and told the little one what happened in Miaochun Pavilion that day." ”

"It turns out that all this was done by King Qi."

"Huh?!" When the second prince heard the housekeeper say this, he was stunned, "You mean Han Wuyong told you?" The second prince interrupted the butler again, "How did Han Wuyong know?" Why is this related to King Qi? ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, according to Han Gongzi, that day it was the three princes who held a banquet in Miaochun Pavilion to invite King Qi. And Han Gongzi was also in Miaochun Pavilion that day, and the third prince also invited him, but fortunately, he had an upset stomach at the time, so it was convenient to go, so he escaped by luck. ”

"Huh!" The second prince couldn't help but sneer, "Hongmen Banquet!" ”

"Yes!" The housekeeper nodded, "Han Gongzi said the same thing, but the noble concubine Niangniang saw through the intentions of the three princes, and she came to a fish and broke the net, and directly blew up the Miaochun Pavilion with the earth-shaking thunder." ”

Myochunkaku was blown up! The second prince fell into a deep shock, and there was only this one sentence in his mind. At first, he thought it was burned by fire, but now the housekeeper told him that Miaochun Pavilion was blown up! How could this not shock him.

"What else did Han Wuyong say? What happened? The second prince was eager to know the follow-up, "How about the King of Qi and the third prince?" ”

"Your Highness, the King of Qi is safe and sound, the third prince just broke one of his legs and fell into a coma, and now he has woken up. The messenger said that the third prince had set off for Hanfeng Temple today, but he was assassinated on the way, but there was a master by his side who drove away the assassin, and the third prince was unscathed. ”

"Master?!" The second prince was stunned, "What does that person look like?" ”

"He always wore a hat and a scarf on his face, and the messenger did not see his face."

"It's him!" As soon as the second prince heard the butler say that the master was dressed, he immediately knew who he was. Unexpectedly, his father would let him go out of the palace to protect the three princes, and it seems that the situation is getting more and more confusing.

"What did Yu Yao'er go wrong?" Compared with the news of King Qi and the third prince, he is now more concerned about whether Yu Yao'er has gone wrong.

"Back to Your Highness, Yu Yao'er is dead." The housekeeper replied with difficulty, but he knew that the second prince would go to Miaochun Pavilion every few days, and he would only ask Yu Yao'er to accompany him every time.

The second prince is in a haze in your heart at this time, the third prince and the king of Qi did not die in the explosion, but Yu Yao'er, who was useful to herself, was killed!

The housekeeper looked at the face of the second prince, swallowed his saliva, and continued with an embarrassed expression: "I heard that Yu Yao'er died with only a charred head. And it is said that the king of Qi was not punished by the emperor, but was executed by the concubine Niangniang, and he did not get out of bed for a long time. ”

"You go down first!" Seeing that the housekeeper had finished explaining the matter, the second prince waved the housekeeper away.

I returned to the study alone, full of irritability. One is because of Yu Yao'er's death, after all, Yu Yao'er is also the principal of the White Lotus Sect in the capital, and her death will inevitably not delay her major events.

The second is because the word "bombing" has been lingering in his mind, he has been trained in the army since he was a child, and he has experienced a lot of wars large and small, so he naturally knows the meaning of the word bombing, and only earth-shaking thunder can explode in the armory. (Only artillery existed during the Ming Dynasty.) ）

Even if those earth-shattering thunders are on the battlefield, they are strictly guarded, and even if he wants to use them on the battlefield, he must register. Not only must the number be registered, but also the name, and when the earth-shaking thunder is taken, there is also the emperor's prison army watching, but anyone who dares to take one more will cause unnecessary trouble.

But now I didn't expect that the imperial concubine would get a sky-shaking thunder.

Did my father do this on purpose? Knowing that Miaochun Pavilion is greasy, he will take advantage of the Hongmen banquet of the three princes to come to the imperial concubine to eradicate this eye-catching place?

Or did the father find out that the owner behind Miaochun Pavilion was actually someone else? Although it is a private consumption industry on the surface, the boss behind the scenes is himself, and Miaochun Pavilion is still a place used by himself and the White Lotus Sect to spy on intelligence. Now that Myochun Pavilion is gone, it's like losing an arm.

Damn, the second prince scratched his head irritably, the people in Miaochun Pavilion were not his subordinates, and he didn't tell himself any news when he was bombed, otherwise, he could still know in advance and make some responses, and he wouldn't know it now, he was passive everywhere, and the emperor's intentions could only be guessed.

It seems that they should hurry up and urge the White Lotus Sect to let them re-establish the Miaochun Pavilion as soon as possible. And after the incense tomorrow, I will also go to Shen Jianqiang, the head of the household.

"Dangdang!" There was a quick knock at the door, "Your Highness is me!" ”

"Come in!" The second prince retracted his thoughts, let Ji Taimei in, and asked Ji Taimei: "It's not good to rest at home at night, is there something wrong with coming to this prince?" ”

"Your Highness, my eldest brother just sent me a message, please take a look." Ji Taimei respectfully presented Ji Wuli's news.

"Hey! Seeing you in such a hurry, it shouldn't be good news. The second prince reached out and took the paper, "Why is it all bad news today?" Can't you have some good news to make this prince feel more comfortable? ”

As a result, when he saw the information on the note, he was stunned, "This Prince Xue Ruyue remembers ......"

"Yes." Ji Taimei nodded, "That's what Your Highness thinks, this Xue Ruyue is a member of the Jinling Xue family, and she is also the woman Tao Pengju wants to marry into the door." ”

"Hah!" The second prince chuckled, "It seems that this Xue Ruyue is not a woman from a good family!" is so debauched, and there is a hand in the game that wants to be captured. If Tao Pengju knew that she was in the capital with King Qi, I am afraid that she would have the heart to kill King Qi. ”

"Your Highness, I don't care what happened to Tao Pengju, the target now should be why Xue Ruyue is here!" Ji Taimei didn't expect the second prince's focus to be here, so he hurriedly reminded him. Could it be that the second prince forgot so quickly, you are also wearing a hat by King Qi now!

"Hahaha, it's nothing more than relying on his own appearance to fall in love with King Qi, thinking that he is on the list of golden beetle sons-in-law, and he can use the name of King Qi to help his family tide over the difficulties." The second prince laughed.

"But Hanfeng Temple is now rumored that King Qi wants to break into the door and have a bad desire for Xue Ruyue. As a result, Xue Ruyue resisted desperately, but she didn't let King Qi succeed. How could His Highness say that Xue Ruyue is the king of Qi on the list?! ”

"Didn't this prince say it just now? Want to get away with it! The second prince threw down the blank paper, looked at Ji Taimei and said, "Brother Ji hasn't married yet, right?" ”

"Yes!" Ji Taimei nodded, "Men should still focus on their careers, so there is no marriage in Xiaxia, not to mention that they don't have this in mind now." ”

"Haha!" The second prince got up and patted Ji Taimei on the shoulder, "If you have time, let's find a girl you like!" ”

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Ji Taimei was puzzled, "Aren't we talking about Xue Ruyue and King Qi?" Why would His Highness now persuade him to get married? ”

"Haha, after Brother Ji finds the girl he likes, he will be able to understand Xue Ruyue's intention to do this."

"I still don't understand." Ji Taimei bowed and clasped his fists and saluted, "Please also ask Your Highness to make it clear." ”

"Haha!" The second prince smiled, "I just want to find someone to talk to, so you came over, why don't you take this opportunity and have a drink?" ”

Ji Taimei wanted to refuse, but the second prince didn't give him a chance to refuse, "Eh! Brother Ji, don't be in a hurry to refuse, let's drink while listening to His Royal Highness's detailed explanation. ”

"This ...... All right! Ji Taimei really wanted to know why the second prince said this, so she had to agree with the second prince's decision.

"Come on, bring wine, His Royal Highness wants to have a drink with Brother Ji." The second prince commanded to the subordinates outside.

After a while, the servant walked in with a wine jug and a plate of peanuts, and after filling them one by one, he bowed down and retreated.

"Come on, let's have this one first." The second prince didn't wait for Ji Taimei to agree, and took the lead in drinking it all.

"Your Highness!" Ji Taimei was helpless, so he had no choice but to do it, and drank it all the way.

"Ahem, ahem!" Ji Taimei was spicy and coughed up tears, "Your Highness, your wine is too strong!" ”

"Hahaha!" The second prince saw Ji Taimei's tears in his eyes, and laughed loudly, "Borrow wine to kill your sorrows, naturally you want spirits!" ”

"Your Highness doesn't know what's going on?" Ji Taimei painfully grabbed a handful of peanuts and ate them, and at the same time poured a full wine glass for the second prince.

"Let me explain to you the intention of Xue Ruyue to do that first, and then talk about the troubles of His Highness."

The second prince picked up the wine glass and drank it all again, "Brother Ji, you have been fighting with His Royal Highness all these years, do you know how to explain the art of war to want to capture and indulge?" ”

"It's nature." Ji Taimei nodded and took a small sip of the spirits, "The sixteenth plan of the thirty-six strategies of the art of war is to capture." In the art of war, it is said that "if you force you, you will counter-attack, and if you go, you will reduce your momentum." Follow closely, exhaust its strength, eliminate its fighting spirit, scatter and then capture, and the soldiers are not bloody. "Explain that if you force the enemy to have no way out, it will fight back; Letting it run will weaken the enemy's momentum. When pursuing, follow the enemy and don't push it too much, so as to consume its physical strength and break its fighting spirit, and when the enemy's morale is depressed and the army is broken, capture it again to avoid bloodshed. ”

"Not bad!" The second prince nodded, "Brother Ji, do you know the meaning of the word "want to capture" in the folk?" ”

"The meaning of wanting to capture and indulge is to better control the other party, and deliberately relax first."

"That's right!" The second prince nodded again, "As I said just now, that Xue Ruyue fell in love with the King of Qi with her own appearance, and wanted to use the name or power of the King of Qi to help her family escape the risk of being annexed." ”

Drinking a glass of liquor again, "Brother Ji, do you know that a woman in love will keep her distance appropriately in order to keep the man she likes from getting tired of her, which will help to add a sense of mystery, so as to brew the other party's admiration and infatuation. ”

"Now Xue Ruyue has played a set of tricks to capture and indulge, wanting to use this to arouse King Qi's infatuation, and put all her thoughts on herself, so that she can better control King Qi and let King Qi help her family tide over the difficulties."

Ji Taimei suddenly realized, "Your Highness, you mean that Xue Ruyue did this on purpose?" Just make King Qi more obsessed with himself?! ”

"Yes!" The second prince saw that Ji Taimei had not moved the wine glass for a long time, and shook his head helplessly, "Since Brother Ji, you can't enjoy this wine, then Your Highness can drink it yourself!" After speaking, he directly picked up the flask and drank it himself.

Ji Taimei savored the words of the second prince, and when he heard that the second prince was going to drink himself, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he was already strong enough to drink, and when he swallowed this wine, it was like a fire, burning in his throat.

The second prince put down the empty wine jug and let out a sneer, "Even if that woman Xue Ruyue falls in love with King Qi, does she really think that King Qi can help her?" It's nothing more than a bamboo basket for water. ”

"A man who doesn't learn anything and is full of things that only know how to play with women, do you think this prince will be jealous of him?! What this king is afraid of is nothing more than the imperial concubine behind him! If it weren't for the imperial concubine who had been giving him advice behind his back, otherwise you think that with his virtue, he could bring a green hat to this king and still live unharmed?! ”

As soon as the second prince talked about Meng Ruoxi, he thought of being taken by Bi Yuntao's bastard and put Meng Ruoxi to sleep first, and his heart was uncomfortable.

Especially when this incident happened before the emperor was about to announce his marriage to Meng Ruoxi. This made him even more uncomfortable and wanted to kill people to vent, and he was just one step away from being able to press the stinky woman who was proud of himself on the bed and play with it wantonly.

It's not been a year or two since I wanted to do this, but before that, every time I wanted to go further with Meng Ruoxi, Meng Ruoxi was like a kitten who had always been flexible, always cleverly dodging, not letting herself succeed, and not even letting herself pull her hand, keeping a delicate distance every time, which made her heart itch, and she had to go to Miaochun Pavilion to find Yu Yao'er to vent.

"Your Highness?! Your Highness?! Ji Taimei pushed the second prince, but he didn't expect the second prince to reprimand angrily and then there was no follow-up, and he fell asleep.

I saw anger on the face of the second prince for a while, and a little obscene for a while. He shook his head with a smile, not knowing what he had in mind.

got up helplessly, called the subordinates, and asked the subordinates to change the clothes of the second prince.

If Bi Yuntao, a modern person, heard the words of the second prince here, he would definitely despise him. Although he is an old virgin who is almost thirty years old and has not yet married, how can he say that he has also had a long-distance relationship, and he doesn't know more than you?!

O man! The most afraid is that he has no self-knowledge, how can he, a feudal man who has never experienced free love, know what love is.

Are you embarrassed to say that Meng Ruoxi is proud of herself?! Every time you want to go further with Meng Ruoxi, how can people Meng Ruoxi not dodge, every time you meet her, you are in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion. Zuo Xiang didn't suddenly appear to interrupt you, which is enough to give you face!

You can't be like yourself, put down your posture and be a licking dog, and you are licking at Meng Ruoxi.

There is a good saying, thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn. As soon as you see Meng Ruoxi, you don't want to shoot any sycophants, you only know how to dance with guns and sticks, and then it's not just a poem to be right, and you can just be a poem to praise Meng Ruoxi, but you keep talking about your things on the battlefield, showing your heroism and bravery, but that's a fart!

The reason why she was willing to agree to marry you before was partly because the Queen Mother herself was the matchmaker, and partly because she had no relationship with the opposite sex, she spent the longest time with you, so she naturally has some good feelings for you.

There is a good saying, there is a shih hat in the eyes of a lover!

Bi Yuntao compares with the second prince, although one has the attribute of licking a dog, at least he will make the girl happy; the other will not be like Bi Yuntao, lowering his posture and being courteous to girls, and will not coax girls to be happy, but will only dance and play sticks; A knowledgeable person who knows a lot of knowledge that Meng Ruoxi doesn't know, can take care of people, can make fat house happy water, and can be light...... Ahem! The other can show off his literary brilliance and martial arts, but he can't do anything else, can't take care of people, and can't make fat house happy water......

In terms of mental strategy, Bi Yuntao and the second prince are comparable; On the issue of treating Meng Ruoxi, a person who will take care of people thinks about Meng Ruoxi everywhere; Another machismo, self-centered.

So in Meng Ruoxi's heart, no matter how you compare, in addition to reputation, she feels that Bi Yuntao is better than the second prince everywhere.

And now when Meng Ruoxi thinks of the second prince, she is full of disgust.

Of course, in addition to these, there is another meaning, that is, Bi Yuntao's weakness is more obvious than that of the second prince, that is, lustful. At the same time, he is also more likely to be bewitched by himself, and if he wants to take revenge in the future, he will have a greater success rate than lurking in the side of the second prince.
