Chapter Forty-Eight: The Hidden One
Qi Tai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Okay, good, great, after chasing for so many days, I finally caught up, quick, where do they live?"
The guards didn't dare to offend the dignified military squire, and naturally they didn't dare to offend the other two princes, but the military squire was in front of him now, and he could only be honest and obedient.
Han Wangfu and Yan Wangfu each brought a guard of men and horses, a guard of 5,600 people, together is more than 10,000 people, these more than 10,000 people are the personal guards of Han Wangfu and Yan Wangfu, naturally they can't be too far away.
In addition to most of the guards, some of the guards live not far from His Royal Highness King Han and Princess Yan, so that if there is a situation, they can arrive as soon as possible.
So when Qi Tai led a part of the soldiers to appear, the guards of the two royal palaces hidden around were instantly alert.
"Your Highness, the left attendant of the military department, Qi Tai, asks to see you!" Chen Zheng's worrying report.
"Qitai? His Royal Highness's henchman, he came to Xuzhou to find me at this time, is he looking for me or the fourth sister-in-law? Or are we both looking for both? ”
Chen Zheng replied: "Your Highness, it should be both." ”
"How many people did they bring? Could it be that the grandson wants to arrest us back? ”
Zhu Song frowned, but immediately he felt that it should not be, because his father had made a holy decree, and this was out of the palace's will, how could he say that he would take it back?
Could it be that Zhu Yunwen didn't pretend, and directly led his henchmen to arrest himself and his fourth sister-in-law by force, then it shouldn't be, Zhu Yunwen's little tricks can't hide it from the old man.
After thinking about this layer, Zhu Song was relieved.
"Let Lord Qi come in!"
After a while, Qi Tai had already arranged his official robe and hat and walked in, followed by two soldiers, each holding a few pieces of cloth in their hands.
"Xiaguan, the left attendant of the military department, Qi Tai, see His Royal Highness King Han."
Zhu Song looked at Qi Tai and smiled: "Lord Qi doesn't have to be so polite, we are already old friends, let's get up, I don't know what Lord Qi is chasing the king to Xuzhou this time, what is the so-called matter?" Could it be that there is a change in Beijing to summon the king and the fourth sister-in-law back? ”
Qi Tai smiled and shook his head.
"No, no, no, of course not! Your Royal Highness, the minister's coming this time is actually the meaning of His Royal Highness Taisun, His Royal Highness asked His Royal Highness to bring a few more pieces of cloth, Princess Han's family has never been to the north, and the more cloth and clothes the better. ”
"In addition, Princess Yan and the three princes brought very little luggage to the north this time, and His Royal Highness remembered the fourth aunt and three younger brothers, and also asked the lower officials to bring some cloth over."
Hearing this, Zhu Song didn't understand, His Royal Highness the Taisun had almost revealed his minions before, why was he so good to himself, the fourth aunt and the three children of the fourth aunt's family now?
"I see, does His Royal Highness Taisun have any other orders?"
Qi Tai smiled: "No, no, oh, there is one more thing, His Royal Highness hopes that His Royal Highness King Han can write a few more letters to His Royal Highness after returning to Liaodong, in the end it is still a family, in the end, it is still an uncle and nephew, and His Royal Highness will inevitably ask His Royal Highness King Han to help him more in the future." ”
"Where, where!" King Han waved his hand: "Share worries for the country, worry for the king, and worry about the grandson, this is our duty as a courtier, but this king will definitely write a few more letters, please tell His Royal Highness the grandson on his behalf, this king will always miss His Royal Highness." ”
"Okay, then these cloths, I won't bother much when the lower officials send them, His Royal Highness King Han, Princess Han, and Princess Yan, I guess I'm tired from this journey, so please rest early and retire from the lower officials."
Qi Tai said and retreated, and at this moment Zhu Song shouted: "Lord Qi, you have been running around all the way, you must be tired, and you will not rest in Xuzhou City for a few more days, just go back to Beijing?" ”
Qi Tai's eyes rolled, and he quickly understood what King Han meant, King Han didn't want to live in Xuzhou City, or didn't want to be too close to them.
However, Qi Tai doesn't plan to follow King Han's wishes, the more you let me go, I won't leave, even if it is a deterrent to you.
"Your Royal Highness, although the court is busy with official affairs, the lower official is just a small military squire, there are many without the lower official, and there are not many more lower officials, so I am not in a hurry to return to Beijing."
"What's more, the lower officials are changing horses and not changing people all the way, and people are tired, even if the lower officials are not tired, the soldiers behind them are also tired, so they have to rest."
Zhu Song nodded: "Okay, then Lord Qi will rest and stay in Xuzhou City, Chen Zheng." To pass on the king's order, the other people and the brothers who came this time, the accounts of eating, drinking and having fun in Xuzhou City are all counted on the king. ”
After hearing this, Qi Tai said hypocritically: "Ouch, this is really embarrassing for the lower officials!" ”
"Where and where, you are the confidant of His Royal Highness Taisun, this king and Lord Qi also hate to meet late, just spend some silver, don't do anything!"
After Qi Tai retreated, Zhu Song's expression became cold.
He suddenly remembered the eyeliner of the fourth brother and four sisters-in-law in the palace, and even the people who had the fourth brother and four sisters-in-law around his father and the emperor started the layout so early, isn't it a little too rampant?
Zhu Song thought about it, anyway, they had already let themselves know, and if they asked more, the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law would not blame their younger brother.
Thinking of this, Zhu Song ordered someone to take the cloth from King Yan's mansion to Princess Yan's residence in person.
And Princess Yan is also waiting for her twenty brother to come at the moment, if nothing else, she suddenly chased after Qi Tai, and Princess Yan has no bottom in her heart, is it that the grandson said that he moved his father and took back his order to return to Beijing?
When Zhu Song saw Princess Yan, he was polite, and after handing over the cloth to Princess Yan's maid, Zhu Gaochi withdrew from the people in the house, and at this moment only Princess Yan and Zhu Song were left in the house.
"Fourth sister-in-law, my brother has something that he has always wanted to ask the fourth sister-in-law."
Princess Yan knew what Zhu Song was asking, and said with a slight smile: "Twenty brother, do you want to ask why you and your fourth brother can arrange eyeliner in the palace?" ”
"Exactly!" Zhu Song asked: "No matter when a courtier arranges eyeliner around His Majesty, it is a big taboo, if it is discovered, it is a sin to cut off the head, even if it is a prince." ”
Princess Yan explained with a smile: "Twenty brother, I also have a problem with your fourth brother, since the death of the crown prince, His Majesty has set up the imperial grandson, the imperial grandson looks benevolent and generous on the surface, but he is always aimed at your fourth brother. ”
"We actually want to arrange eyeliner next to the emperor's grandson, but the East Palace is controlled by the Lu family, and it is really impossible to get a needle into the water, so we have to push the next best thing and arrange a hidden person by the side of our father."
