Chapter 240: Courage
Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this sound immediately made Pei Yao and Fang Yu vigilant in their hearts.
However, Pei Yao has seen the wind and waves, so he is naturally stable.
After silently glancing Liu Qin up and down, he spoke in a deep voice.
"Why does Childe call me that?"
It seems to be a simple and calm rhetorical question, but it is full of coercion.
Even if he is injured and still in a bad house, Pei Yao's body has been nourished for many years, and the power of the superior is still undiminished.
Liu Qin was not very old, but he was still a little nervous.
But he quickly stabilized, and knelt down more and more respectfully.
"Although the grass people are not talented, but also with the private school Mr. read a few years of books, when His Royal Highness was rescued, the robe he wore was embroidered with a four-clawed dragon pattern, this pattern is for the prince, so the grass people dared to guess, and just now when the grass people went out to buy medicine, they learned from the officers and soldiers that the emperor returned to Beijing from autumn hunting today, and there was a sudden accident when passing by the Xianghe Bridge, and the prince and a Liangdi who was riding with him fell into the water and disappeared, so the grass people dared to determine the identity of the two of you."
After listening to this explanation, Pei Yao raised his chin slightly.
"Then since you have a guess about our identity, why didn't you ask for help when you met the officers and soldiers who searched for and rescued us?"
"The grass people are for the sake of His Highness's safety." Liu Qin replied neatly, "When His Royal Highness and Liangdi were rescued by the father of the grass people, they were both injured, which shows that they are in danger, and the grass people are studying, but they also have a little understanding of the court situation, and His Royal Highness is now in danger, so the grass people dare not make decisions on their own." ”
When his words fell, Pei Yao also showed a little appreciation for the young man in front of him.
In the end, he is not denying it, and he is the first to say.
"You did a good job, Yu Gu, you have a great grace."
And after being praised by Pei Yao, Liu Qin also kowtowed immediately.
"The grass people don't dare, the ministers are loyal, although the grass people have not yet obtained fame and official status, but as the people of Daqi, they should be the same."
"Haven't you ever thought about taking Lone's head and exchanging it for a high-ranking official?" Pei Yao asked casually.
Hearing this, Liu Qin raised his eyes to look at him, and quickly lowered his head and bowed his hand, his tone becoming more and more firm.
"The grass people have the courage to speak out, and please don't blame Your Highness, if Your Highness is a straw bag, the grass people should be spurned, but His Royal Highness is not like this, but although the emperor has no fault in the government, but he is entrusted by the emperor and succeeded to the throne, but he has selfish intentions, this is unbelief and injustice, King Ming is a courtier, but he wants to seek the throne, this is disloyal, such a person, the grass people disdain to work for it."
After he finished saying this, the look of appreciation in Pei Yao's eyes became more and more obvious.
After all, even if you dare to say this, even if you are very courageous, it is even more rare that you can carry it clearly, see clearly, and have your own opinions.
And Fang Yu stood next to him, in addition to his appreciation of Liu Qin, he was also extremely fortunate that Pei Yao had a good reputation as the prince over the years, and he was not splashed with sewage by Queen Li and King Ming.
Otherwise, at this moment, he should have been denounced by Liu Qin a long time ago.
"What a bold and outspoken person, he is brave at a young age, and he will definitely become a talent in the future, so get up quickly." Pei Yao smiled.
After Liu Qin got up, he whispered again.
"The identities of Lone and Fang Liangdi, don't tell your family for the time being, the less people know, the safer."
"Your Highness, rest assured, the grass people know." Liu Qin nodded, and only asked again, "In front of that person, how should the grass people address His Highness and Liangdi?" ”
He asked, Pei Yao thought for a while, and then said.
"Lone's biological mother's surname is Wen, you can call Lone the son of Wen, call her Gu's wife."
As he spoke, Pei Yao glanced at Fang Yu.
Fang Yu also bowed slightly, in response.
After saying this, Pei Yao asked about Liu Qin's affairs.
Liu Qin was also unambiguous, and immediately retold the news he had heard.
Now there are two groups of men and horses outside, the royal guards and the Kyoto guards, who search the woods on both sides of the river and the nearby villages, and some are fishing in the river.
Because the Liu family makes a living by chopping firewood, they live here alone, and they are not in the village, so they have not found this piece yet.
What Liu Qin said to his father Liu Jinzhu just now, seeing that several of the officers and soldiers did not look good, it was not a lie.
According to his observations, there is a high probability that there are people from King Ming who are hiding among these search and rescue officers and soldiers, and even disguised themselves as ordinary traders, and are secretly looking for the whereabouts of Pei Yao and Fang Yu.
So he didn't dare to be sloppy, he didn't dare to buy the medicine for the time being, in case King Ming was staring at the medicine shop, and suddenly bought these drugs for treating injuries and stabilizing the fetus, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
"Now that the emperor has returned to the palace, it is Prime Minister Lu Cheng and the commander of the Kyoto Guard, who are directing the search and rescue, but there are still other people involved in it, if the grass people want to report for His Highness, they can only try to see Prime Minister Lu or Lord Hu in person to have a chance, but there are eyeliner staring in the dark, I am afraid it will be difficult."
Liu Qin frowned and expressed his concerns.
Pei Yao naturally thought of this.
King Ming sent someone to assassinate him at the beginning, and if he didn't succeed once, he would definitely double his counterattack, and he couldn't take it lightly at this time.
"Your Highness, there is a way for the concubine, I don't know if it will work." Fang Yu spoke softly.
Hearing the sound, Pei Yao and Liu Qin both looked sideways at her.
I heard Fang Yu say, "Now that King Ming's heart is all here, he will guard against all those who are good friends with His Highness, but there should be no King Dun here." ”
Although when the disaster relief was rewarded before, Pei Yao pushed King Dun and asked him to be crowned king with King Ming.
But in the eyes of outsiders, it's just that Pei Yao doesn't want King Ming to be alone.
Later, Princess Dun's father was able to be promoted from the household servant to the position of the household secretary, and outsiders saw that it was also because Pei Yao and Ming Wang Dou were both defeated, so he asked him to pick up the leak.
For so many years, King Dun has been obscure, rarely involved in court affairs, and his meritorious service to disaster relief in the north has long been forgotten, and since then, he has never been involved with Pei Yao or King Ming, which is really inconspicuous.
But what is his relationship with Pei Yao in private, Fang Yu knows a little.
So at this time, King Dun was proposed, and Pei Yao was also reminded.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Liu Qin.
"You might go into the city to deliver a message for Lone?"
"Yes! It doesn't take long to have a horse at home. ”
Liu Qin nodded heavily.
Then Pei Yao beckoned him to come closer and whispered a few words in his ear.
After a while, Liu Qin explained to his parents, and quickly rode away again.
Pei Yao's face was solemn, and he couldn't help but clench the hand holding Fang Yu.
Now, he is also a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and he can only hope for Liu Qin, a young man he has never met.
"Your Highness, don't worry." Fang Yu felt his mood, and gently shook his hand, "No matter what, the concubine will definitely be by His Highness's side." ”
I have to say that Fang Yu is the only person who Pei Yao can rely on trust at the moment, and he actually has feelings for the same hardship in his heart.
Bowing slightly, he also pulled Fang Yu closer, "Well, Gu will definitely protect you and the child." ”
Don't talk about love, a woman is his woman, and a child is his child, Pei Yao feels that as a husband and a man, this is his responsibility.
After a few more moments, there was a slight clatter of dishes outside the door.
Then I heard the gentle voice of the sister-in-law of the Liu family, "Childe, madam, the food is ready, the son is injured and it is inconvenient to get out of bed, I will bring it in for you." ”
