Chapter 316: Arch Fire
Someone interrupted, and the table immediately started giggling, but everyone didn't dare to mention the emperor again in their words.
The eight-character bearded son is obviously unwilling to fool the past like this, and continues to fan the flames.
"Brother Zhigao, let me talk to you, no matter how you say it, you are also a child of the Chu family, you are not afraid that Yue Lingjun will come to trouble you? Is it true that your Chu family has not taken any action? It can't be really scared, right? ”
"Bang!"
Chu Zhigao finally got angry.
Just now he kept his head down, no one saw his expression, at this time he raised his face angrily, and everyone found that his face was covered with shadows, obviously angry.
There was a moment of silence on the table for a few seconds.
Chu Zhigao gritted his teeth and said, "Who is afraid of him?" Yue Lingjun is something, but he is just a lonely minister, in the court, except for Lu Xuanqing, who is not long-sighted to help him, who dares to stand with him? If you want me to say, the emperor doesn't care what he wants, anyway, our Chu family is not afraid of him! ”
Chu Zhigao originally wanted to mention the emperor again, but thinking that the people at the table were all fox friends and dog friends, if these bastards spread out, he would suffer.
Even if it didn't reach the ears of the emperor and passed back to the family, and his father and mother knew about it, he would still be punished, so he quickly changed the topic and snorted coldly.
"Don't worry, Yue Lingjun won't come back smoothly."
Speaking of this, Chu Zhigao saw the curiosity in the eyes of the others, his vanity was satisfied, and he raised his chin and said quite arrogantly.
"The elders of our family are already plotting to kill Yue Lingjun, it is impossible for him to come back smoothly, it is estimated that he can't even touch the door of the capital, so he will die outside, and the people who killed our Chu family still want to come back, it is quite beautiful!"
This Chu Zhigao obviously drank too much, and the others were shocked after hearing his words, but there were still some people who didn't believe it.
Knowing that they shouldn't ask more questions next, but they were really curious, the round-faced boy asked cautiously.
"Brother Zhigao, this kind of thing can't be joked, the emperor has given an order, no one is allowed to do anything to Yue Lingjun, I listened to what my father said, let me settle down recently and don't make trouble."
"Obviously, you just don't want to have any risk of being affected, your family is on the cusp of this storm, and you still want to attack Yue Lingjun, isn't it a little too bold? If the emperor knows about ......"
Chu Zhigao pursed his lips, quite complacent.
"That's why I said it was a conspiracy, and I accidentally heard it, the elders in the family are in front of us juniors, and they are not allowed to interfere, and they are not allowed to show any dissatisfaction with Yue Lingjun."
Chu Zhigao enjoyed everyone's surprised gazes and said.
"In short, if we want to keep silent about Yue Lingjun, we are not allowed to talk about it, but it doesn't mean that the Chu family has not taken any action, by the way, I tell you about this matter, and it can't be spread out."
"Speaking of which, it's because the younger brother of my family died because of Yue Lingjun, that is the only seedling of my uncle, I heard my father say that that uncle swore that even if he died, he would send Yue Lingjun to hell."
"If it weren't for Yue Lingjun running fast, and after leaving the capital, he didn't know where he was, my uncle would have killed him a long time ago, and now if he wants to return to the capital, then he must show his traces, my uncle has already sent a killer out of the city, anyway, Yue Lingjun is dead this time!"
The atmosphere at the table was quiet.
Even the eight-character beard who had been arching the fire obviously didn't expect to hear Chu Zhigao himself say these words.
If these are spread out, none of them will want to run well, and the mustache is also a little panicked, looking at Chu Zhigao with a drunken face, he can't help but remind.
"That...... Brother Zhigao, you can just tell us about this matter, but we must not spread it to the outside world, we are not interested in knowing who your uncle is. ”
"Forget it, let's forget about this matter, we don't know anything, whether Yue Lingjun is coming back or dying on the road, what does it have to do with us, we don't know anything."
Several other people also reacted quickly and hurriedly raised their glasses.
"Yes, yes, what does it have to do with us? Whether Yue Lingjun is dead or alive, fat or thin, beautiful or down, it is all his own creation, we don't know anything. ”
For a while, the atmosphere on the table began to be lively again.
But at this moment, there was a "bang", and the door of the private room was suddenly kicked open from the outside.
The few people sitting around the table were startled, like frightened quails, and looked towards the door.
Chu Zhigao felt that he had lost face.
You know, today's dinner was organized by him, didn't he talk to the shopkeeper of Zuixian Building? No one is allowed to disturb them, who is so short-sighted?
Chu Zhigao put the cup in his hand heavily, then walked around the table and gritted his teeth and scolded.
"Who! Do you know who Lao Tzu is? You dare to woo woo......"
Before Chu Zhigao finished speaking, he was covered by the bearded man.
The bearded hands were still trembling, and his voice trembled and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince......"
As soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said a few words, the few sons and brothers sitting around the table woke up like a dream, and knelt on the ground one after another, their bodies shaking like chaff.
Chu Zhigao was also excited, and his vision was blurred, but he still recognized the person who came in against the light.
The eyebrows fly obliquely into the sideburns, the eyes are like stars, the facial contours are smooth and tough, and he looks so handsome and noble, plus the bright yellow robe that only the prince and the emperor can wear on their bodies, who is it if it is not the prince?
Chu Zhigao said in his heart, miserable! With his legs weak, he knelt down straight: "Too, His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Then his forehead hit the ground heavily, and his body shook involuntarily, but he didn't dare to raise it again.
The bright yellow boots stepped on the ground, and then approached Chu Zhigao step by step, the prince's cold eyes stared at the people kneeling in front of him, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
He really didn't expect that these gentlemen would be so bold and openly discuss Yue Lingjun's affairs in the Drunken Immortal Residence.
That's it, this child of the Chu family actually dared to say to these people that he was going to attack Yue Lingjun, is this crazy?
After glancing at it, the prince was not very familiar with the few people in front of him, including the Chu family disciple kneeling in front of him, he didn't know either, so he waved his hand.
One of the guards stepped forward: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The prince said directly: "Block the entire Drunken Immortal Residence, you are not allowed to enter or leave, the reason is to think for yourself, and besides, this room is in prison for me, and not a single fly can be released for me!" ”
The prince's words fell, and the guards hurriedly took the other guards lurking in the restaurant and started to act.
After a while, the door of the Drunken Immortal Residence was closed, and the guests who were about to enter were at a loss.
But when they saw the fierce guard blocking the door, and the whole body of the guard, he knew that they could not provoke it.
At first glance, it is the nobleman's subordinates, so forget it, one by one, they are scattered, and they don't even dare to be reasonable.
As for the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Residence, he was also stunned, and he stepped forward to inquire with the smile, and when he saw the token shown by the guard, the shopkeeper's smile was even more flattering.
"The villain knows, please take care of your lords, if you need anything, say hello at any time, hehe......"
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he hid behind the counter tremblingly, not daring to make a sound, and from time to time he gave those guys a look, asking them what they should do, and not having any opinions.
The guys could only stand in a mess like the shopkeeper, not daring to make any extra moves.
It wasn't until the guards asked them to come forward to reassure the guests that they dared to go to the various private rooms to explain.
There is definitely no reason, it is simply appeasement.
When the excitement of the Drunken Immortal Residence was no longer and it was quiet outside, the prince looked down at Chu Zhigao and said.
"But what you just said, but it's true?"
The sweat on Chu Zhigao's forehead was dripping big and big, his Adam's apple was rolling, his throat seemed to be blocked by cotton, and he couldn't speak at all.
The prince didn't have much patience, and said angrily: "Raise your head!" ”
Chu Zhigao didn't dare to disobey, so he could only raise his face in a shrunken manner, and subconsciously avoided the prince's eagle-like eyes, regretting it infinitely.
Is his brain in water? Why do you say so much? was caught by the prince......
It's over, this matter was originally conspired by the elders, and he didn't know if it was true or not, but nine times out of ten it was true, how should he explain it?
Now it seems that no matter how you explain it, you are dead!
Chu Zhigao was desperate in his heart.
The prince snorted coldly and asked, "Do you say it or not?" ”
Chu Zhigao's body trembled, and in the end, he could only close his eyes and honestly explain everything.
"Too, His Royal Highness the Prince, the villain, the villain doesn't know much, but he accidentally overheard the conspiracy of the elders in the family......"
Chu Zhigao really didn't dare to hide it at all, he told all the causes and consequences he overheard, and he didn't dare to leak any details.
The more the prince listened, the deeper his brows wrinkled, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Very good, it seems that you really didn't take the emperor's words seriously." ”
Chu Zhigao was about to quibble, but the prince didn't give him this opportunity, but turned to the guards and said.
"Take care of them, without the order of Prince Ben, no one is allowed to let them out, including everyone in the Drunken Immortal Residence, they are not allowed to enter or leave, do you hear?"
Of course, the guards did not dare to slack off, and immediately agreed.
The prince took a deep look at Chu Zhigao again, he really wanted to draw his knife and kill this mouthy person directly, but he was just sitting next door, and he happened to hear everything, who knows if anyone else heard it, and then went out to spread the word?
He had to tell the queen mother about this matter and discuss what to do together, the prince didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly left the Drunken Immortal Residence and entered the palace.
The prince didn't know that when he stepped on the door of the Drunken Immortal Residence and left, on the opposite side of a teahouse, a figure flashed by the window, and quickly ran in the direction of the palace-
……
"Queen Mother, look, this is the rouge sent by Jiang Nanxin, this color is not bad, do you want to give it a try?"
A palace maid took the rouge off the tray and sent it to the queen for questioning.
The queen just glanced at it lightly, although she was nearly forty years old, she still had charm, and when she closed her eyes and recuperated, she was like a compassionate bodhisattva with the appearance of a Buddha.
Even if she is graceful and luxurious, she still can't hide her dusty temperament under her luxurious dress, and she has the style of the mother of a country.
"No need, it's just some mundane things, what are you doing like this? The more times like this are brought to the main palace, the more you have to read the Buddhist scriptures and meditate on your mind. ”
When the queen's voice fell, the palace maid didn't dare to disobey, so she bowed down and went out to get the Buddhist scriptures.
But at this moment, a palace maid came in in in a hurry, but her steps were extremely fast, but she was also very measured, and there was no nonsense after coming in.
"Queen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down, saying that he has an urgent matter to see you, and he is waiting outside to see you."
