"Young tiger is naughty and bumped into the fourth prince, and I hope you forgive me." Mu Hanzhang touched the fur tiger that was rubbing back and forth on his leg, and bowed apologetically to Jingyu.
"Yo, Brother Four Emperors, I'm really sorry, you didn't say anything in advance when you said you came, just in time for me to throw the chicken wings." Jing Shao greeted him insincerely and gave Jing Yu a pat. The ash on his body was just a little too strong, and he almost slapped the Fourth Prince to the ground.
Jingchen glanced calmly at the three cups on the table and winked at Mu Hanzhang. Mu Hanzhang immediately put his mutton fat jade cup into his sleeve.
The fourth prince saw his father today and invited Jingchen to go to the imperial study to talk alone, and then saw Jingchen left the imperial study and went straight to the south of the city. Cheng Wang's husband just made an appointment to have a drink.
The four of them sat in Taoyuan and said boring words with Wei She for a while, Jing Shao couldn't help yawning, and pulled his princess away with a reason.
When King Cheng left, the fourth prince, as his younger brother, naturally could not keep it any longer, so he also said goodbye, but before leaving, he glared angrily at the tiger jumping up and down. He was sure that the chicken wings that were thrown on his face were no accident.
After the three of them left, Jingchen sat alone in the pavilion for a while. The green plum wine was very light, and he was not afraid of getting drunk after drinking a few more glasses. These days, the second son is sick again, Xiao Shi's temper is getting worse and worse, and he feels a headache when he returns to the palace.
When Xiao shi married him, she was always a gentle lady, but after giving birth to her second son, she suddenly became a little suspicious. In addition, Wang Ji's concubine and Xiao Si were born almost at the same time, she felt wronged...
Jingchen looked at the peach trees in the garden, thinking that his younger brother must have a descendant, but those were not in a hurry. After all, he couldn't do it when his father was on the throne. .
"It's boring to drink alone, do you want someone to accompany you?" A clear and pleasant voice came from behind with a three-point frivolity.
Jingchen suddenly felt more headache.
The next day, the fourth prince went to court and was pulled aside.
"His Royal Highness, Wei Chen saw that King Huainan went to the Taoyuan of King Rui in the south of the city yesterday." The man said in a panic.
"What did you say? Prince Rui's Taoyuan?" Jing Yu's brows twitched, "You can't see it wrong, right?" He was also in Taoyuan yesterday, "It's absolutely true," the man seemed very excited, " Wei Chen went to work in the south of the city yesterday, and happened to see the king of Huainan, and his two guards were still guarding outside Taoyuan."
The fourth prince quickly recalled yesterday's situation, and when he thought of the flying chicken wings, he didn't believe that Jing Shao was unintentional. He originally thought that he was deliberately embarrassing him. From this, it seems that there was another person in the pavilion at that time. Jing Shao was for the sake of Cover up that person's whereabouts!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. Jing Yu couldn't help sweating on her palms. If it was true, then Jing Shao was colluding with the vassal king. Since they met in Taoyuan, they might also involve Prince Rui. If this was done well, It can make Jingchen fall into a big somersault.
Mu Hanzhang heard that the fourth son of Prince Rui's mansion was ill, and the fever persisted after changing two imperial doctors, so he sent some precious medicinal materials to Prince Rui's mansion.
Xiao Shi looked at the crying son-in-law in the nurse's arms, and couldn't help but frown, and then looked at the healthy and lively son-in-law next to him, and his heart became more and more irritable. The medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor did not improve after drinking it for two days.
Afraid of being scolded, the nanny took the initiative to mention that sometimes the child is not really sick, but may also be harassed by something: "I heard that the master Mo Bei at Biyun Nunnery in the west of the city is very effective, or... "
"If you don't see it tomorrow, please come and have a look." Princess Rui glanced at the things sent by Cheng Wangfu, and she sent them to the warehouse with a polite reply. I haven't said that I want to give it to them. Who will I show such diligence to
"How do you say?" Mu Hanzhang asked Yunzhu, who had gone to deliver things.
"It is said that the troubled concubine is thinking about it. Recently, the mansion is too busy to take care of it, so I will invite the concubine to come over to the mansion to talk about it another day." Yunzhu replied verbatim according to the original words.
Mu Hanzhang waved his hand to let Yunzhu go down, frowning slightly. All he had sent to him were the rare medicinal herbs that were in use. Princess Rui's remarks were just polite words to reply without looking carefully, so it seemed that the child Really sick.
At the same time, Gu Huaiqing was drinking with Jingshao Zuixianlou.
"I'm leaving today." Gu Huaiqing poured Jing Shao a glass of wine.
"You finally figured it out," Jing Shao glanced at him, "I said, what exactly are you doing in this big circle in Beijing?"
Gu Huaiqing smiled and said softly, "Hunting ghosts."
"Catch ghosts?" Jing Shao was stunned for a while, then sneered, "When did you become a magician?"
Gu Huaiqing smiled and said nothing. At this moment, there was a commotion downstairs. The two walked to the window and saw the fourth prince Jingyu surrounded the Zuixianlou with a group of men.
"What's going on?" Jing Shao frowned, the Fourth Prince is now in charge of the Punishment Department, and he has a lot of available people in his hands.
"The ghost is here." Gu Huaiqing looked at someone standing beside the Fourth Prince, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
"I'll be ordered to come and arrest the criminals. Not a single person in the building is allowed to leave. Check one by one!" People look after the people in the lobby, and the rest go to search the private rooms on the second floor.
The fourth prince took the official beside him to check room by room, and soon he would find the private room where Jing Shao was located. The building was full of officers and soldiers, and there were even more people outside. Jing Yu made perfect preparations, so that King Huainan could not escape.
"This is a trick to catch a turtle in a urn." Gu Huaiqing looked at the officers and soldiers who were getting closer.
Jing Shao frowned, it seemed that the fourth prince had received some news, he turned to look at Gu Huaiqing, and seeing the calm expression of the man, it seemed that he had already expected: "What are you going to do?"
"Escape from this Zuixianlou is not a problem," Gu Huaiqing pushed open the window. The window of the private room he chose was facing the roof next door. With the skills of the two of them, it was true that they could escape along the back of the roof. It's not difficult, "I just guess that the fourth prince has already put martial law on the city gate, and you need to help me to get out of the city."
"You already expected it?" Jing Shao was a little angry when he heard the words. This man knew that this kind of thing would happen, and even asked him to drink, making it clear that he was also counted.
The fourth prince led the people to flutter in the Zuixianlou, and he couldn't help but become angry and questioned the officials around him: "Didn't you say you are sure he is here?"
"Wei... Wei Chen..." The man broke out in a cold sweat. He did make an appointment to meet him here at this time according to the contact information given by King Huainan, and the news he wanted to tell King Huainan was very important, so that person would definitely not Missed it, how could it not come
"Close the city gate immediately!" The fourth prince was so angry that his face turned blue, because he had repeatedly assured Emperor Hongzheng that the King of Huainan was in the capital before he got the edict. Fortunately, he hadn't said anything about the collusion between King Cheng and King Huainan, otherwise, he would not have caught anyone, but the emperor would have felt that he had framed his brother.
At that time, Jing Shao had already rushed Gu Huaiqing out of the city gate.
"You know there's something wrong with that eyeliner, so you're still waiting to be caught?" Jing Shaozai immediately punched Gu Huaiqing.
"If I hadn't waited there, how could I see that you and I are brothers?" Gu Huaiqing narrowed her slender eyes and smiled innocently.
Jing Shao was stunned when he heard the words. Could it be that the purpose of his visit to Beijing this time was to see the extent of his sincerity in cooperating with him? Thinking of this, he couldn't help being silent. He knew that the surnamed Gu was suspicious by nature, but he was just talking to him as a future emperor. Isn't it worthy of trust
Seeing that his face was wrong, Gu Huaiqing immediately rushed over and punched him: "Where did you want to go? I'm just kidding you." Saying this, she shoved a booklet in his arms into his hand.
Jing Shao looked at the thin pages in his hand and looked at Gu Huaiqing suspiciously.
"This is my network in Beijing, and the ones that can't be used have been circled with a red pen," Gu Huaiqing smiled, "Give this to Jingchen, and tell him that Zhao Jiulin, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, is already a member of the fourth prince, and told him to be careful Some." Zhao Jiulin was the one who was with the fourth prince today, and this person must have disclosed the news to the fourth prince.
Jing Shao flipped through the things in his hands in shock. These contacts had been carefully managed by the King of Huainan for many years. Now that they were handed over to him, he had given his life to him!
"Big brother..." Jing Shao didn't know what to say, this person was the opponent he admired in his last life, but until now he still couldn't see what Gu Huaiqing was thinking. It makes people puzzled; sometimes he is a man of temperament, and when he is in the mood, his life and wealth can be handed over to you!
"Haha, it's estimated that the clan will be withdrawn in a few days. Big brother is waiting for you in Jiangnan." Gu Huaiqing smiled and punched Jing Shao again, calculating to make up for the weight he had beaten himself these days.
Jing Shao was so beaten that he bent over and coughed dryly. When he looked up again, Gu Huaiqing had already turned his horse's head, and not far away, two guards riding horses were running towards him.
"Remember to bring your little tiger with you, so that the lion will teach him to hunt!" Gu Huaiqing walked away, for fear that Jing Shao would catch up and punch him again.
When Jing Shao returned to the palace, he saw that the atmosphere in the palace was very wrong. The whole palace was quiet, and all the servants held their breaths and did not dare to make a sound.
"My lord, the emperor is here." Mr. Yun whispered.
Jing Shao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that Jing Yu stabbed him out of his meeting with the King of Huainan? Thinking about it carefully, what flaws can be revealed.
"The emperor is in the study," Duofu greeted him with a wrinkled bun face, and said in a low voice, "My lord, the princess asked the servants to tell you that no matter what the emperor said, he must have killed the king of Huainan who didn't know him. Today, he left the city to send a friend from the rivers and lakes. "
When Jing Shao heard the words, he couldn't help speeding up his pace, Jun Qing said that his father knew something, but he was not sure, so he came to the mansion to ask; it is also impossible that Jun Qing took the mistake on himself to excuse him! No matter what it is, Jun Qing cannot be allowed to face his father alone.
