Chapter Fifty-Eight: Entrusted with a Great Responsibility
Li Chong, the commander of the guards, returned to the room with Huang Wuji on his back and closed the door for a moment. Huang Wuji suddenly became alive and jumped off the back of Li Chong, the commander of the guards, with a hint of excitement on his face.
"Your Highness, you're really fine!" Huang Wuji's acting skills were so good that Li Chong, the commander of the guards, was a little worried until now.
"Hmph, how can a few sticks hurt this prince, don't worry!" However, the thought of the old eunuch's attitude in front of the Xuanwu Gate made Huang Wuji a little unhappy, and a dog slave dared to shout in front of him, and put it in the future early in the morning to pull the skin and bones and throw it into the kennel to feed the dog.
"Your Highness is fine, that humble duty is relieved!" Li Chong, the commander of the guards, suddenly let go of his worried heart.
"I don't know what ginseng is for this prince. The timing was very good, just in line with the prince's plan!" Huang Wuji said this, a smile appeared on his face, and he was a little grateful to the person who participated in his book, but there was still anger.
Li Chong, the commander of the guards, thought about it, and through today's incident, no one would suspect that his master would sneak out of Kyoto, which was really a trick.
"Since His Royal Highness is fine, it's better to take a rest, and retire first!" Li Chong, the commander of the guards, said and was about to withdraw, Huang Wuji hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I still have something for you to do!"
"Your Highness commands!" said Li Chong, the commander of the guards, bowed his head and said respectfully. "In the past few days, you have opened the door of the mansion, and all visitors have seen it, and you have to let people see the tragic situation of this prince, so that they can believe it!"
After Huang Wuji finished speaking, Li Chong, the commander of the guards, nodded. In fact, what Huang Wuji did was completely to wait for someone to come and see his jokes.
Indeed, as Huang Wuji thought, early in the morning of the next day, the thirteenth prince Li Zhi came to the prince's mansion, changed his ugly complexion in the past, and the joy on his face could not be concealed, and he was also very excited in his heart.
Huang Wuji suffered a hundred boards in Xuanwu Gate, and the next day it spread all over Kyoto, and even ordinary people knew about it. In addition, Cai Hu's people told the thirteenth prince Li Zhi, and Li Zhi still didn't know the whole story.
The reason why he came early in the morning was completely to catch Emperor Wuji off guard. The guards guarding the prince's mansion received orders from Li Chong, the commander of the guards, early in the morning, and immediately prepared to close the gate when they saw someone coming.
The thirteenth prince Li Zhi's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw the guard's movements clearly, and shouted: "What are you dog slaves doing, don't stop me!"
The guards didn't dare to offend Li Zhi, the thirteenth prince, knowing that the one in front of him was one of the favorable candidates for the prince. The guards stood in front of the door, closed or closed, and Li Chong, the commander of the guards, happened to come over to see this scene, and shouted and scolded: "What are you doing, who told you to open the door of the mansion!"
The thirteenth prince, Li Zhi, knew Li Chong, the commander of the guards beside Huang Wuji, and said with a smile: "Li Chong turned out to be you, why do you have to go against this prince, I asked them to open it, what do you want!"
Li Chong, the commander of the guards, was immediately stunned, turned around and left with a somewhat ugly face. The Thirteenth Prince, Li Zhi, grabbed a guard and asked him to lead the way to Huang Wuji's room.
Soon, the guards led the Thirteenth Prince Li Zhi and others to the front of the Huang Wuji House, and a strong smell of medicine came to their nostrils. The thirteenth prince Li Zhi covered his nose all of a sudden, it was too pungent, and he wanted to turn around and leave.
However, as soon as he thought of Huang Wuji's tragic situation, the pungent smell seemed to disappear a lot, and he pushed open the door without saying hello and walked in.
At first glance, I saw Huang Wuji in a coma on the bed. Looking at the room with the charcoal stove, the medicine bowl placed on the side, and the white cloth stained red with blood, Huang Wuji, who was out of breath less than panting, felt a sense of relief in his heart for no reason, this feeling has never been felt before.
The thirteenth prince Li Zhi made a decision in an instant, after going out, he must make a big publicity, let the whole of Kyoto know about the tragic situation of Huang Wuji, and let them know the fate of going against this prince.
"Okay, let's go!" Li Zhi, the thirteenth prince, said to the people who brought him, regardless of Huang Wuji's life or death.
"Bang!" The door closed, and Huang Wuji, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of light flashed, and the cold light stared at the door, and his face showed a sneer.
"Self-righteous fool, he doesn't even surrender at all, what to fight with Li Chengqian, and he is ready to watch a good show, it seems that there is no drama to watch now!" Huang Wuji thought of the thirteenth prince Li Zhi early, and he would definitely not miss the opportunity to make himself embarrassed.
However, smart people will have smart practices, according to Huang Wuji's budget, the thirteenth prince Li Zhi will come in a few days, and he is also the person he really has to calculate.
However, he didn't expect that the thirteenth prince Li Zhi didn't even have this patience, and he was the first to come early in the morning to ridicule him. In the past, he also put the thirteenth prince Li Zhi in the position of his opponent, but now there is no such idea at all.
"Li Chong, come in!" Huang Wuji shouted. After the thirteenth prince Li Zhi and the others left, Li Chong, the commander of the guards, was already waiting outside the door.
"Squeak!" The door opened, and Li Chong, the commander of the guards, walked in, the pungent smell of medicine still made his brow furrow, and he fell silent in a blink of an eye.
"Your Highness!" said Li Chong, the commander of the guards. "Li Zhi is gone!" Huang Wuji asked casually with squinted eyes.
"Let's go, I look very happy!" Li Chong, the commander of the guards, told Huang Wuji what he saw.
"Hmph, I'm very happy, just let him be happy for a while, and when the prince comes back from Fangwai, it's too late to make him cry when the time comes!" Huang Wuji has a deep disdain for the villain psychology of the thirteenth prince Li Zhi, except for a trace of anger.
"Things are expected to be very good, the door is open for a morning, and the door will be closed in the afternoon, and no one will be accepted for half a year!" Originally, Huang Wuji planned to open the door for a few days, but the arrival of the thirteenth prince Li Zhi made him change his mind, and the calculation had already come, and it was thankless to do it.
One morning, there were a lot of people who came to see Huang Wuji, but when they saw his appearance, they all had a slight joy in their eyes, and they all looked sorry on the surface, and they were enough to be a play.
In the afternoon, the gate of the Prince's Mansion was finally closed, and the people who came afterwards got the news that they were all ordered by Li Chong, the commander of the guards, to close the door before Huang Wuji woke up, and no one was seen.
People who can't see Huang Wuji's miserable state are really sorry this time.
In the afternoon, Huang Wuji finally didn't have to stay in the room full of medicinal smells, and returned to his real room. Holding the Longding tribute tea brewed in the purple mud gauze pot in his hand, thinking of the faces of the people who came in the morning, his face flashed with a trace of deep disdain.
"A bunch of dog minions, they also want to see the jokes of the emperor, it's really a pity to die!" Whoever came in the morning, Huang Wuji took it all to heart, and was ready to settle accounts after the autumn.
"Bang Bang!" There was a knock outside the door, and Huang Wuji didn't have to think about it to know that it was Li Chong, the commander of the guards, who came: "Come in!"
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has sent some supplements!" said Li Chong, the commander of the guards, as he looked at Huang Wuji.
"Just accept it, tell the person who came, and say that the prince is in a coma, and it is inconvenient to meet guests, and I hope to forgive me for the neglect!"
One more friend is better than one more enemy, and there is no way to make a bad old eunuch. If you hit it lightly, it won't have the desired effect.
Li Chong, the commander of the guards, turned around and went out, and after a while, he came back, holding several brocade boxes in his hands, and placed them in front of Huang Wuji one by one.
Huang Wuji paused for a moment, opened the brocade box casually, looked at the contents inside, and said to Li Chong, the commander of the guards: "All of them are palace treasures, it seems that my father still cares about me very much!"
Hearing what Huang Wuji said, Li Chong, the commander of the guards, immediately continued: "Your Highness, it seems that this incident of being hit by the board is not that Your Majesty wants to really beat you, there should be a last resort!"
Huang Wuji waved his hand and said to Li Chong, the commander of the guards: "I know all of this, what I want to know most now is that that bastard dares to join me!"
"Your Highness, the lowly duty has been investigated, you were pretending to be sick before, and the lowly duty was afraid of affecting you, so you forgot about it for a while!" said Li Chong, the commander of the guards, with a somewhat ugly face.
"It's okay, I know you're loyal, tell me who it is!" Huang Wuji couldn't wait to know who killed him.
"Your Highness, it's Cai Hu, the governor of Xuzhou, who has participated in your book, and there is no king's law!" Li Chong, the commander of the guards, said with a look of hatred.
Huang Wuji pondered for a moment, and said with an interesting expression on his face in a blink of an eye: "It's a little interesting, I can't think of Cai Hu, his wisdom can't be underestimated, he can actually think of this kind of method of killing three birds with one stone!"
Li Chong, the commander of the guards, didn't understand Huang Wuji's words, looked at him questioningly and said, "Your Highness, I don't understand why it would be three birds with one stone!"
"Cai Hu, this ginseng is very meaningful. First, he is Li Zhi's person, and it stands to reason that he must kill me. However, he did not unite with Li Zhi's forces to do so, but instead said that I killed his son without a king's law, and then forced his father to express his position. Because, he knows that my father will not kill me, but will only punish me heavily!"
Huang Wuji said this, took a sip of Longding tribute tea and continued: "Cai Hu's expectation is good, what did my father do and beat me a hundred boards in front of the Xuanwu Sect. Cai Hu probably expected this result, and he also showed it to Li Zhi. In the end, even if I find out, after thinking about it carefully, I will know that Cai Hu will not blame him for his hard work, and he indirectly doesn't want to trouble me on the surface. If the son dies, the father will definitely have a reward!"
"You say, don't offend your father, let Li Zhi be satisfied, let me rest assured, there is a reward in the end, is it considered to kill three birds with one stone, it should not be said to be a dead eagle with one stone!" Huang Wuji looked at Li Chong, the commander of the guards, and asked after taking a sip of tea.
Li Chong, the commander of the guards, analyzed it carefully, and it was indeed the same as what Huang Wuji said, and a trace of the servant couldn't help flashing in his eyes. Unexpectedly, his master could analyze so many useful things from just hearing a piece of news, and his wisdom was simply unfathomable.
"Okay, you go down, you are ready to leave in three days, and everything in the palace will depend on you in the future!" Huang Wuji said as he looked at Li Chong, the commander of the guards.
