Yesterday, the Seventh Emperor and the Ninth Emperor were punished, and Qin Su didn't let them go until the two were so tired that they couldn't get up on the ground. Today, they didn't want to come to Wende Hall to study, but they didn't dare not come for fear of upsetting Emperor Wu of Zhou, so they could only drag their tired bodies to study.

Yesterday was punished too harshly, let alone quarrelling, they didn't even have the strength to speak. In the past few days, the Nine Emperor Princes have been showing off the great victory of Liangzhou, and today he was so tired that he didn't say a word, which made Zhao Yao and them feel quiet for a long time.

After school at noon, the eunuchs beside the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince carried the two of them out of the Wende Palace. Not only were they so tired that they didn't even have the strength to speak, they didn't even have the strength to walk or write.

Zhao Yao didn't run away from school today, but waited for the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince to leave. Seeing that the Seven Princes were punished so badly, Zhao Yao's anger when he was punished for copying the Analects a hundred times decreased a lot.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Seeing Zhao Yao smiling so happily, the Eighth Prince couldn't help but joke with him: "So happy? ”

Zhao Yao crossed his hands on his waist and said with a smile: "Of course I'm happy, my heart is instantly balanced a lot." ”

"You......"

"Starling, don't you think it's extra quiet today?" Zhao Yao's small expression was very exaggerated and said, "Don't you think the air is exceptionally fresh today?" ”

The Eighth Prince raised his hand and gently patted the back of Zhao Yao's head, "You're not hungry, aren't you in a hurry to go back for lunch?" ”

"Starling, you can go back to lunch with me."

"No, I have to go to the prince's brother." The Eighth Prince patted Zhao Yao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Hurry up and go back for lunch." ”

"Alright, then I'll go back to lunch first." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he waved his hand to the Eighth Prince, and then left the Wende Hall with Tongxi.

The fourth prince walked beside the eighth prince, suddenly stopped, and looked at the eighth prince condescendingly. The Fourth Prince is much taller than the Eighth Prince, and the Eighth Prince is only shoulders taller.

The Eighth Prince didn't like the condescending eyes of the Fourth Prince, and he frowned slightly dissatisfied, but half of it was not revealed on his face.

"Fourth brother, are you okay?"

The Fourth Prince glanced at the Eighth Prince deeply, and his tone was indifferent and full of warning: "The tenth brother is simple, you should not get too close to him. ”

Hearing this, the Eighth Prince narrowed his eyes slightly. He pretended not to understand, "Fourth brother, what do you mean by this?" ”

The fourth prince said: "You will bring danger to him. With that, he turned around and left the Wende Temple.

The Eighth Prince stood in place, looking at the Four Princes who left with cold eyes.

Yu Hai walked to the side of the Eighth Prince and looked at the back of the Fourth Prince leaving with him, "Your Highness, what do you mean by Your Royal Highness?" ”

The Eighth Prince said with a calm face: "He is warning me. ”

"You don't interfere with the river water with the four princes on weekdays, why did he warn you?" Yu Hai asked puzzledly, "Besides, you have a good relationship with the Tenth Highness, why do you bring danger to the Tenth Highness?" ”

As he walked, the eighth prince said, "Because I am close to the crown prince." ”

"Is there anything wrong with you getting close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Yu Hai suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile on his face, "Could it be that the fourth prince also wants to compete for that position?" ”

The Eighth Prince sneered: "Except for the tenth brother, who doesn't want to compete for that position." ”

"But, why did the Fourth Prince warn you?" Yu Hai said indignantly, "Do you think you are easy to bully? ”

"He doesn't want me to implicate my tenth brother." The Eighth Prince said in a dark voice, "Although I don't like Zhao Hui's pretentious appearance, he really cares about the tenth brother. ”

"Then you really listen to the words of the Fourth Highness, and stay away from the Ten Highnesses in the future?"

The Eighth Prince sneered: "Why should I listen to him Zhao Hui's words. ”

"That's it, what is the Fourth Highness."

"Go to the East Palace."

On the way to the East Palace, Yu Hai reported to the Eighth Prince what happened this morning.

After hearing this, the eighth prince smiled meaninglessly: "Sure enough! ”

"Your Royal Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a very bad mood, do you really want to go to the East Palace?"

"The more this happens, the more I want to go." The eighth prince said, "Besides, the prince won't be angry with me. ”

As soon as the eighth prince walked to the gate of the East Palace, a tea cup flew in front of him, almost hitting him on the head, but fortunately he dodged quickly and smashed at his feet.

He looked up and saw that the prince looked angry and depraved, and he knew it in his heart. He stepped forward and respectfully saluted the prince: "I have seen His Royal Highness the prince. ”

Seeing that the person who came was the Eighth Prince, the prince hurriedly put away the anger on his face, "Eighth brother, you are here." ”

"Big brother, what are you ......" the Eighth Prince hesitated and said, "Is it because of the second brother?" ”

"This morning, the ministers are in favor of adding beads to the acting king."

"Could it be that Marquis Xuanping also bribed the Wang family and the Yuan family?"

The prince said coldly: "Xuanping Hou doesn't have such great ability. ”

"Then the Wang family and the Yuan family want to get a piece of the pie, so they agree to add beads to the second brother?"

The prince bowed slightly: "The third brother is about to become an adult next year, and the Wang family supports the king on behalf of the king, because they want the third brother to add beads when he becomes king next year." ”

"The eldest brother, the third brother and the fifth brother are not a bad thing for them to be crowned kings and pearls." The eighth prince analyzed for the crown prince, "The Wang family, the Yuan family, and the Xun family are a century-old family that is slightly inferior to the Xie family, and they have a background than the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. The third brother was crowned king and beaded, and they were also a threat to the second brother. ”

"The Wang family, the Yuan family, and the Xun family are stronger than the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, but even if the third brother and they add beads in the future, they will not be able to withstand the acting king." The crown prince said, "The third brother and the few of them together can't match the acting king. ”

"That's right."

"We must not allow the addition of beads to pass, otherwise there will be endless troubles." As the prince spoke, he let out a heavy sigh, "Father, he ......"

"Big brother, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible?"

When the prince heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the idea?" ”

The Eighth Prince walked up to the crown prince and whispered a few words in the prince's ear.

After hearing this, the prince's expression was a little complicated.

"Big brother, do you think it will be used?" The Eighth Prince asked cautiously.

"It should be somehow useful." The prince chuckled and said, "When the time comes, I really have no choice, so I'll use your method." ”

"Big brother, I have always felt that my father loves you, but you are the eldest son and the crown prince, so my father is very strict with you." The Eighth Prince comforted the prince and said, "Besides, the father and your mother have a deep relationship. Not to mention anything else, for the sake of the former queen, my father will not let the second brother replace you. ”

This sentence has reached the prince's heart, and it is what he likes to hear.

"If only it were like what you say." The prince's face became much better, and he said gently, "You're hungry, let's go to dinner." ”

The Eighth Prince smiled a little embarrassedly, and then asked curiously, "What's delicious today?" ”

"Today there is your favorite goose paw duck letter." The Eighth Prince often dined in the East Palace, and the crown prince remembered what the Eighth Prince liked to eat and what he didn't like to eat.

"That's great." The Eighth Prince suddenly asked, "Big brother, is there much of this dish, I want to bring some to the tenth brother." ”

The prince was a little surprised: "Give it to the tenth brother?" ”

"Well, the tenth brother loves to eat this dish. Last time at the dinner party, he secretly ate quite a bit by himself. ”

"It's hard for you to remember." Seeing that the eighth prince cared so much about his younger brother, the prince was very relieved, "Then you can bring some for the tenth brother to eat later." ”

"Then I'll thank the eldest brother for the tenth brother."

"Thanks for what." The crown prince thought of what happened after he left the martial arts arena yesterday, and asked with concern, "The father and emperor punished the tenth brother for copying the Analects a hundred times, and the tenth brother is afraid that he will cry urgently." ”

"Big brother, you said it." The Eighth Prince vividly told the prince Zhao Yao's reaction when he learned that he had been punished to write the Analects a hundred times, and the prince couldn't stop laughing.

"This tenth brother...... the prince shook his head and smiled helplessly, "Except for not being smart in reading, he is very clever in other things." ”

"Especially when it comes to eating."

The brothers laughed and walked to the dining room.

was interrupted by the eighth prince, the prince's mood became a lot better, and his appetite naturally became a lot better.

In the Kunde Palace, Zhao Yao, who was having lunch, sneeze coldly, which scared the poppies a lot, thinking that he was cold.

A few months ago, Zhao Yao suffered from a cold and fever, and lay on the bed for a month or two, which frightened Liang Zhaoyi and the others, so he was so nervous about sneezing on Zhao Yao.

Liang Zhaoyi knows how to check the pulse a little, and when she sees that her son's pulse is normal, she is relieved.

Zhao Yao rubbed his itchy nose and said that someone was saying bad things about him behind his back. He guessed it must be Brother Jiu. Among so many imperial brothers, only Brother Jiu likes to speak ill of him the most.

After lunch, Zhao Yao took Tongxi to the secret base.

As soon as he arrived, Lailu and Laiwang pounced on him.

[Yaoyao, no, something happened to Pei's Mansion. 】

Zhao Yao's heart tightened, and he wrinkled his brows and asked, "What happened to Pei Mansion?" ”

Lai Wang said: [Someone was around Pei Mansion last night. 】

Zhao Yao asked, "How many people?" Did you enter Pei's house? ”

[Several people, but they didn't enter Pei's mansion. Laiwang said, "I should have been scared by our brother. 】

"Pei's Mansion has long been a deserted mansion, and the Pei family has long since died, why do anyone still want to go to Pei's Mansion?"

Pei's Mansion was the maiden home of Pei Guifei of Emperor Xia Ling of the previous dynasty, and was once a famous noble family of the previous dynasty. Back then, when Pei Guifei favored the Sixth Palace, the Pei family was also very prosperous. Later, Pei Guifei was beaten into the cold palace, and then the Pei family was beheaded all over the house, and there was no one alive.

Zhao Yao's secret base was actually the cold palace where Pei Guifei was back then.

When they were exploring in the Cold Palace, Zhao Yao and the others found that there was a secret passage in the Cold Palace, and the end of this secret passage was Pei's Mansion.

Because of the existence of this secret passage, Zhao Yao can leave the palace, otherwise with his identity, it is impossible to leave the palace at will.
