Chapter 70: The Main Purpose
"My Highness, you're finally back." After Gui Xing finished serving Liang Zhaoyi to bathe, she had been waiting for Zhao Yao at the door. After waiting for a long time, I finally waited for Zhao Yao to come back. If Zhao Yao doesn't come back, she will go out to find it.
She saw that Zhao Yao was the only one who came back and didn't see Tongxi, so she hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, why are you alone?" ”
"I asked him to run errands and will be back soon." Zhao Yao said, and smiled at Gui Xing, "Gui Xing, I have something good for you." ”
"Good stuff?" Gui Xing asked curiously, "What good things?" ”
"You'll find out right away." Zhao Yao asked, "What about the mother concubine and the second mother concubine?" ”
"The beauty and the princess have gone back to their rooms to rest, and the mother is reading." Gui Xing asked, "Your Highness, where have you been, the slaves and maids went to Chaoyang Hall and Xingde Palace and didn't find you, didn't you encounter anything?" ”
"It's something happening, otherwise I'll be back a long time ago."
"What happened?" Gui Xing hurriedly asked, "Is it that His Highness the Ninth is bullying you again?" ”
Zhao Yao hurriedly waved his hand: "No, I'll tell you later, now I'll go to find my mother." As he walked inside, he cried out loudly, "Mother, I'm back!" ”
When Liang Zhaoyi heard her son's voice, she smiled helplessly and dotingly, and then put down the book in her hand.
After a while, Zhao Yao ran in.
"Mother, I brought you something good."
Liang Zhaoyi looked at her son with a smug look, and asked funny, "What good things?" ”
"Qiang Qiang Qiang ......" Zhao Yao took out a bag of things from his arms and handed it to Liang Zhaoyi as if offering a treasure, "Mother, look what this is." ”
Liang Zhaoyi smelled the fragrance and said with a surprised face: "Beef? ”
"Yes, beef." Zhao Yao opened the oil-wrapped paper and revealed the beef inside, "I secretly hid it." Mother, it's still hot, you hurry up and eat a piece. ”
"Secretly?" Liang Zhaoyi asked in surprise, "How did you hide?" ”
"I'll sandwich two pieces of beef at once, eat one, and hide one." Zhao Yao said with pride on his face, "The fourth brother and the starling brother also helped me hide." Mother, am I very witty? "He's hiding a big bag of beef.
After Liang Zhaoyi and Gui Xing listened, both of them had dumbfounded expressions on their faces.
"Mother, I specially hid it so that we can eat a few more meals." Zhao Yao said, picked up a piece of beef and fed it to Liang Zhaoyi's mouth, "Mother, this beef is delicious, you hurry up and take a bite." ”
Then, he gave Gui Xing another piece of beef and showed off, "Gui Xing, this is the good thing I said, you can eat it too." ”
Gui Xing is a slave, whether it is on weekdays or important days, she can't eat beef. She hadn't eaten beef since she was a child, and this was the first time she had eaten beef.
"Your Highness."
"Isn't the beef delicious?"
Gui Xing nodded hurriedly, and said with red eyes: "It's delicious!" She didn't expect His Highness to secretly hide the beef, and specially brought it back for them to eat.
"yes, I'll just say beef is the best." Zhao Yao picked up another piece of beef and gave it to Gui Xing, "It's delicious, you can eat another piece." ”
"Your Highness, it's enough for the slave to eat a piece."
"One piece is enough, you can eat a few more pieces." Zhao Yao picked up a few pieces of beef and gave them to Gui Xing, "Eat a few more pieces to know the good taste of beef." ”
"Your Highness......"
Zhao Yao didn't pay attention to Gui Xing anymore, and turned his head to look at Liang Zhaoyi: "Mother, is it delicious?" ”
Liang Zhaoyi reached out and touched her son's little face, and smiled softly: "It's delicious, it's very delicious, this is the best beef that the mother concubine has ever tasted." ”
"I knew that the beef in Chaoyang Hall was better than that in Qionglin Garden." Zhao Yao picked up a piece of beef and ate it himself, "Mother, you must not have eaten much." ”
"Didn't eat much." Liang Zhaoyi took Zhao Yao's hand and sat down on the couch. "How do you remember to steal beef?"
"It occurred to me." Zhao Yao grinned and said, "As soon as I thought of eating this beef and not having the next meal, I thought of stealing some beef so that I could eat it tomorrow." Am I smart? ”
Seeing his son's expression of begging for praise, Liang Zhaoyi smiled and praised: "Very smart." ”
"Your Highness, you are not only smart, but you can also live." Gui Xing also praised.
"I also think I'm super smart." Zhao Yao was very proud and happy, "Gui Xing, you take some beef for others to taste." ”
"Your Highness, you better keep this beef and eat it for yourself."
"I'll just keep a few pieces to eat tomorrow, and you can take the rest and divide it."
"Your Highness......"
Zhao Yao couldn't refuse and said, "Take it and divide it." ”
"Slave and maid, thank Your Highness for everyone." After Gui Xing saluted, she withdrew with half of the beef.
Liang Zhaoyi asked, "Why did you only come back now, what happened?" ”
"When I came back, I saved a eunuch...... Zhao Yao told Liang Zhaoyi about Tong'an.
"Mother, I really didn't expect the third brother to be a broken sleeve."
Liang Zhaoyi was also shocked: "I have long heard that the children of the family are good men, but I didn't expect the third prince to ...... too."
"If my father knew that the third brother was a good man, would he kill the third brother?"
"I won't be killed, but I will be disappointed in the three princes."
"If it weren't for meeting Tong'an, no one would really know about the third brother's fetish." Zhao Yao said, "The third brother concealed it very well. ”
"There's no such thing as a wall that doesn't leak, don't you know it now?" Liang Zhaoyi said, "Other people will know about it in the future." ”
Zhao Yaomo rubbed his chin and suddenly smiled very treacherously: "If the third brother harms me in the future, I will tell my father about it." ”
Liang Zhaoyi furrowed his brows, and his expression became solemn for a moment: "Tong'an suddenly disappeared, the three princes are bound to look for him, and the three princes will never let him go." ”
"That's why I let him go to the cold palace." Zhao Yao mistakenly thought that Liang Zhaoyi was worried about the secret passage of the cold palace, "Mother, don't worry, the secret passage of the cold palace will not let Tong'an know." Also, the fun club will keep an eye on him. ”
"I'm not worried about this, but I'm worried that your rescue of Tong'an will be found out by the third prince." Liang Zhaoyi did not blame Zhao Yao for saving Tong'an, "When you saved Tong'an before, did you leave any clues?" ”
"Nope. Tong'an himself was also very cautious, and the location where he jumped into the well was very remote, and it was inaccessible. "Zhao Yao will not be reckless to save Tong'an, and then take himself. He is well aware of his and Liang Zhaoyi's situation, and will never do anything to put them in danger. "If it weren't for them to lead the way, I really wouldn't have found Tong'an."
After leaving from Chaoyang Palace, Zhao Yao did not go to Xingde Palace with the Eighth Prince, but returned to Kunde Palace. On the way back to the Kunde Temple, they flew to him and told him that Tong'an was going to commit suicide by jumping into a well.
The last time I met Tong'an, although Zhao Yao said to Tongxi not to meddle in things, Zhao Yao still asked them to stare at Tong'an.
Coming to one is just as much a sparrow as coming to money. They often flew into the palace to find Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao didn't want to meddle in things, but when he encountered it, he couldn't see death without help.
"Tongxi took Tong'an to the cold palace to take a small road, and no one will find out."
Hearing Zhao Yao say this, Liang Zhaoyi felt relieved.
"How are you going to arrange Tong'an?"
"I'll examine him for a while, and if there's no problem, I'm going to reuse him." The index finger of Zhao Yao's right hand tapped lightly on the table on the couch, "He is good at danqing, this is an advantage, and it will definitely come in handy in the future." ”
"He can't be in the palace anymore." Liang Zhaoyi said solemnly, "I can't let the third prince know that he is still here." ”
Zhao Yao nodded and said, "I know this." After he passes my investigation, I will send him out of the palace and let him go to his second uncle. ”
"When he passes your investigation, you bring him to me."
"Okay."
"What happened to the Chaoyang Palace?"
Referring to what happened in Chaoyang Palace, Zhao Yao suddenly came to his senses, and said with a somewhat excited expression: "Mother, what happened in Chaoyang Palace is wonderful. ”
Liang Zhaoyi asked curiously, "What happened?" ”
"Mother, let me tell you that Zhen Guogong's means are really high......"
Zhao Yao told Liang Zhaoyi what happened at the celebration banquet in Chaoyang Palace.
Liang Zhaoyi was stunned when she heard it. After listening to it, my face was full of incredulity.
"Mother, didn't you see it, the ministers looked at the second brother with suspicion in their eyes at that time, and the second brother's face was dark." Zhao Yao couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the scene at that time, "Early tomorrow morning, the entire capital will definitely spread the news that the second brother is not good." ”
Liang Zhaoyi exclaimed: "Zhen Guogong's move is really ruthless. ”
"It's vicious, it directly ruined the reputation of the second brother, and also ruined the scenery of the second brother who came back from winning the battle." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "The protagonist of tonight's celebration banquet is the second brother, he should have been proud at the celebration banquet, but he didn't expect to be scolded by Zhen Guogong." From tomorrow onwards, the second brother will become a joke in the whole capital. ”
"Zhen Guogong's move is really a triple win." If it was her, she couldn't think of this move to fight back against the acting king and Xuanping Hou.
"Actually, the biggest purpose of this trick is not to stink the reputation of the second brother, after all, there will be good news in the second brother's house soon." With the king's temperament, I am afraid that I will start to sow seeds desperately from tonight. There will be good news in a month at the earliest, and the news that the king will not be able to do so will be self-defeating.
Liang Zhaoyi followed Zhao Yao's words and said: "The main purpose of Zhenguo Gong is to sow discord and make Xuanping Marquis jealous of Kong Taichang. ”
