Yu She was relieved, and after bowing to Emperor Chong'an, he left the palace.
Emperor Chong'an was so angry at Yu She that his chest still hurt for a long time.
Emperor Chong'an's personal eunuch entered the inner hall, knelt down to clean up the books scattered on the ground, and smiled, "When the little prince left, his face was not bad, it was not like before, and every time he left, his face was gloomy, which is very rare. "
"What did he say that I am following? What else can he be unhappy about?" Emperor Chong'an said while rubbing his temples, "Who do you think this child is following? Seems to understand."
The old eunuch sighed, "In all these years, the little prince has never been close to others, and he is more sophisticated than others. It's normal."
"Is he dumb? Ziyou just now didn't understand what I meant. When it was so important, he didn't ask me how I planned or how I would deal with Prince Yu in the future. With Zhong Wan." Emperor Chong'an shook his head, "It's rare that the royal family has a real love."
The old eunuch smiled and said: "Speaking of this, the servant told the emperor a joke, it suddenly rained a few days ago, the spring rain is as expensive as oil, and it didn't rain much, but our little prince is not at ease sitting in the cabinet. Young Master Zhong came to pick him up every day, and the little prince was afraid that Young Master Zhong would come early and that he didn't bring an umbrella, so he specially asked the servants for an umbrella and asked the palace servants to send it out."
"Master Zhong was really waiting outside the palace at that time, but the rain outside was getting lighter and smaller. Master Zhong was probably afraid that he would not be able to use the umbrella, so he got out of the carriage and took an umbrella in the rain. Wait."
Emperor Chong'an laughed.
The old eunuch couldn't help laughing, "It's enough to just wait, Young Master Zhong is still very dishonest, when anyone who doesn't deal with the little prince on weekdays passes by him, he turns the umbrella handle and shows it off. When I entered the palace and faced the saint, I was not very happy when I left. I walked across the face with Young Master Zhong. Inexplicably, Young Master Zhong turned the rain on his face. Young Master Zhong also asked the Fourth Highness, why didn't you bring an umbrella? Yes Aren't you afraid of getting drenched? Could it be that your face is not afraid of water? It made the Fourth Highness angry, and almost touched Young Master Zhong."
Emperor Chong'an couldn't help laughing.
The old eunuch smiled and said, "It's no wonder that the little prince likes such an interesting person. Didn't the emperor like Mr. Zhong very much before?"
"Yes, that child has been very lovable since he was a child. Back then..." Emperor Chong'an said slowly, "Being at the knees of Wang Ning and Princess Ning, he coaxed the young couple to love him very much. I originally valued him very much."
The old eunuch paused, smacking the "Original", and carefully changed his tone, "But Young Master Zhong is a man after all, it's not good that the little prince loves him like this..."
Emperor Chong'an said, "It's not very good, but the father-son relationship between me and Ziyou has just been repaired a little. It's not good to do anything at this juncture, and it will hurt the relationship again."
The old eunuch comforted cautiously, "Maybe it's a matter of three or five years? When the two of you are older, you can't still be like glue like this, right?"
Emperor Chong'an was noncommittal, "It's hard to say. Ziyou, this child, never hit the south wall and never turned around. What if he would die on this wall?"
The old eunuch felt an unusual aura and did not dare to answer.
Emperor Chong'an sighed and shook his head, "It's not easy being a father, I have to win over the ministers for him, take care of Prince Yu for him, and handle such trivial matters for him."
The old lady listened to the sound of Emperor Chong'an's words, and said bravely, "Your Majesty, you are aware of the temperament of the little prince, and you are so mad that the six relatives do not recognize it. If you take action and end up Master Zhong, the servants are afraid that the little prince will be angry. Do something outrageous."
Emperor Chong'an smiled, "Guess where you are, what are you doing to kill Zhong Wan well? I just want to pave the way for my son. Since he wants this position, he will be obedient."
Five days later, Emperor Chong'an bid farewell to the officials, and took the royal family members out of the palace to the palace.
Emperor Chong'an took all his sons and daughters with him, except for the empress, and no other concubines.
Zhong Wan sat on the carriage, leaned on the soft pillow and lifted the curtain to look outside, shook his head and said in a low voice, "The emperor is cruel enough, there are so many people in the harem, and none of them are brought along, anyway, she is also the biological mother of the prince, Aren't he afraid that King Yu will take someone hostage?"
Yu She lowered her head to read the book, but said without raising her head, "You think everyone is like me, and I will tie you by my side wherever I go."
Zhong Wan smiled, put the curtains down, and said, "Let me see for you?"
The emperor was not in Beijing, and there were people who passed between the palace and the cabinet every day. Emperor Chong'an had no energy to deal with government affairs, so he simply pushed it all to Yu She. Yu She didn't want to delay the matter, and he was replying as soon as he got on the carriage.
Yu She folded the stack of books into two, gave half of them to Zhong Wan, and asked, "The emperor just said a few words to you, what did you ask?"
Zhong Wan didn't speak, he picked up a pen and wrote on a blank bookfold: Ask me if I want to bring Cong Xin and Xuan Yu.
Yu She frowned, their eyes met, Yu She wrote: Is he suspicious
Zhong Wan shook his head: I can't say, I don't believe that he doesn't know that the twins are no longer in Beijing. He deliberately asked me a question, which was more like a test.
Zhong Wan thought for a while and then wrote: The news of Xuan Rui's robbery and murder hasn't reached the capital yet, so he shouldn't know about it, or else he wouldn't empty the capital.
Yu She was silent for a moment, and wrote: Smart is mistaken by smart.
Zhong Wan smiled, picked up the bookfold full of handwriting, tore it into pieces, and threw it into the small incense burner in the carriage.
The two continued to read the book, Zhong Wan read it faster than Yu She, looked around after the approval, and whispered, "When will the emperor start?"
Yu She shook his head in silence for a moment, "He didn't tell me, but... it should be soon."
Zhong Wan sighed, "I haven't been to the palace, and I want to have fun for a few days."
Yu She didn't take it seriously, "I'll let you live enough in the future."
Zhong Wan smiled, "Where did you just go, little prince, is this so certain that I can live in the palace in the future?"
Yu She didn't say a word, Zhong Wan was obsessed with Yu She's crookedness, leaned close to Yu She's side, leaned comfortably on Yu She's shoulder, and thought, "Forget the palace here, it's too big, I can't live here, everything will go well in the future, you can build a smaller one for me, it will be a palace when you are young, and a retirement home after a few decades, okay?"
Yu She nodded: "Okay."
Zhong Wan bent his long legs, put his hands on his knees, and asked with a smile, "Will you accompany me then?"
Yu She still nodded, "Accompany."
Zhong Wan squinted at Yu She, and suddenly felt that there were some things to ask.
For some reason, Zhong Wan was sure that the things he was worried about would never happen.
He and Yu She stumbled all the way to the present, not to become strangers in the future.
The group walked for a full day and finally arrived at the palace in the evening.
Yu She did not shy away from suspicion, not allowing Zhong Wan to leave his side for half a step, Zhong Wan's expression was also very natural, as if the two of them were supposed to be like this.
Emperor Chong'an opened one eye and closed the other, and the others did not dare to say anything. After a lively dinner, everyone went back to their own courtyards.
The palace that Emperor Chong'an left to Yu She was in a very good location. The place was not far from the main hall, but it was quiet enough. Yu She and Zhong Wan looked around and returned to the inner hall. Take a breath.
Yu She smiled, "I finally waited for this day, why? Are you scared?"
Zhong Wan shook his head, "It's not that I'm afraid... Ziyou, you are holding me all the time today, and just now you deliberately asked them to prepare this and that for me in front of others. What's the meaning of it?"
Yu She paused, "What's the meaning of this?"
Zhong Wan gritted his teeth: "It doesn't mean anything, you told the palace servant so loudly that I must take a bath before going to bed, put petals in the bathtub, fresh petals, and only big red petals. What do you mean?! I wish everyone knew that I was hypocritical? I When do you need petals for a shower?!"
Yu She turned around in embarrassment and said nothing.
"You..." Zhong Wan pursed his lips and asked, "Are you worried that the emperor will end me easily?"
Yu She was silent for a moment, "It's not impossible."
Zhong Wan sat on the bed and raised his eyebrows, "So I deliberately let everyone know that I'm sleeping with you, and you want the emperor to throw the mouse away, so as not to hurt you when he kills me, isn't it?"
"Be prepared." Yu She sat down and said lightly, "The emperor has always been very gentle with you, don't let him fool you like this."
Zhong Wan said, "Of course not."
"I'm just suddenly a little worried about other things." Zhong Wan put his hand on Yu She's lap and wrote on Yu She's lap.
"Xuan Qiong was implicated by King Yu. The emperor didn't want King Yu to play with the new emperor in the future, and was bewildered by you again. He felt that you would be soft-hearted towards King Yu in the future, so he simply gave up this chess piece. Is there anyone else?"
"Apart from me, who else might affect you?"
Zhong Wan glanced at Yu She and wrote again: Empress Dowager Regent...
Yu She's heart sank.
Zhong Wan said softly, "Ziyou, didn't you bring a lot of refreshments when you came? Let your people send some to Princess Anguo?"
Yu She and Zhong Wan met eyes, and understood what Zhong Wan meant, and nodded after a while, "Okay."
When they were ugly, Yu She and Zhong Wan lay on the bed without closing their eyes.
Zhong Wan grabbed Yu She's hand and played with his fingers, Yu She let him knead and whispered, "Go to sleep, I'll call you if I have something..."
Before Yu She could finish his words, a messy shout came from outside, the lights outside the window flickered, and it seemed that many people rushed into the courtyard.
Zhong Wan was short of breath, and Emperor Chong'an really moved quickly.
After a while, a palace servant outside hurriedly slammed on the door and shouted, "Little prince? Is little prince okay? Little prince? Something happened! Something big!!!"
Yu She got up and put on his robe, took out his sword by the bed, and opened the door, "What's wrong?"
"Something happened!!!" The palace servant fell to his knees with a plop and cried, "Somehow, there are a lot of assassins in this palace! They have been hiding for a long time before they suddenly shot at night, and the emperor and the eldest princess were assassinated. It's gone!"
Yu She's eyes flashed in the darkness, "How is the princess?"
"It's okay, it's okay!" The palace servant said eagerly, "Someone ran into those assassins outside. They found it early, and the guards rushed in in time. The princess only hurt her arm, and it's fine!"
Zhong Wan in the room breathed a sigh of relief, Yu She's face was cold, "Where's the emperor?"
The palace attendant said anxiously, "Your Majesty Hongfu Qitian is all right, but I don't know how many assassins have come here, and how many are hidden in the palace. The emperor is not at ease, and asked the princesses and princes to go to the main hall immediately! There are many guards over there. No more troubles!"
Yu She put away his sword, "Okay."
After a cup of tea, Yu She and Zhong Wan rushed to the main hall. Xuan Jing, Xuan Qiong, and the others were just frightened, and stood aside looking bad. The old eunuch in the hall saw Yu She coming, and hurriedly invited people in.
In the inner hall, Emperor Chong'an wore a robe and sat on the bed with a cold face. After listening to the guard's words, he asked, "Have you checked it out? Where did the assassin come from?"
The guard said uncertainly, "In the garden... there is a bamboo forest, the forest is deep and luxuriant, and the defense is neglected. When the ministers searched, they found a secret passage."
The hall was silent for a while.
Emperor Chong'an said slowly, "This is my palace. I don't even know that there is a secret passage in this palace."
The guard's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. "I don't know how many years I have built the secret way. It's hidden underground. It's a high slope, and it's not easily eroded by the rain. It can't easily collapse. It's really hard to find."
An old eunuch next to Emperor Chong'an stepped forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, this palace was built by King Yu, right?"
