Those Years In Quest Of Honor Mine

Yu She was relieved, and after saluting Emperor Chong'an, he left the palace.

Emperor Chong'an was so angry by Yu She that his chest still hurt after a long time.

Emperor Chong'an's personal eunuch entered the inner hall, knelt down to tidy up the scattered books on the ground and folded them with a smile, "The young prince left with a good complexion, unlike before, every time he leaves with a gloomy face, it's very rare. "

"What did he say and what does he rely on? What else can he be unhappy about?" Emperor Chong'an rubbed his temples and said, "Who do you think this child is following? How many times have I hinted at it? He really can't see it." I seem to understand."

The old eunuch sighed, "All these years, the little prince has never been close to others, and in terms of worldly... a little duller than others, it's normal."

"Is he that stupid? Ziyou didn't understand what I meant just now. When it was so important, he didn't ask how I planned or how I would deal with King Yu in the future. Look at Zhong Wan." Emperor Chong'an shook his head, "It's rare that the royal family really has a love affair."

The old eunuch laughed and said: "Speaking of which, the servant told the emperor a joke. It rained suddenly a few days ago. The spring rain is as expensive as oil, and it didn't rain much. But our little prince is worried about sitting in the cabinet. Young Master Zhong came to pick him up every day, the young 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 already waiting outside the palace at that time, but the rain outside was getting weaker and weaker. Maybe Master Zhong was afraid that he would not need the umbrella, so he got off the carriage specially and held it in the rain. wait."

Emperor Chong'an laughed.

The old eunuch couldn't help laughing, "It's all just waiting, Young Master Zhong is still very dishonest, and when anyone who usually has trouble with the young prince passes by him, he will turn the handle of the umbrella to show off. Entering the palace to face the saint, I was not very happy when I left. I walked face to face with Master Zhong, and for no reason, Master Zhong turned his face away from the rain. Master Zhong asked Fourth Highness, why don't you open an umbrella? Are you not afraid of the rain? Is your face not afraid of water? It made His Royal Highness so angry that he almost made a move with Master Zhong."

Emperor Chong'an couldn't hold back his laughter.

The old eunuch smiled and said, "It's no wonder the young prince likes such an interesting person. Didn't the emperor also like Young Master Zhong very much before?"

"Yes, that child has been very likable since he was a child. Back then..." Emperor Chong'an said slowly, "Being at the knee of King Ning and Concubine Ning, he coaxed the little couple to love him very much. I originally valued him very much. "

The old eunuch paused, smacked the "original", and carefully changed his tone, "But Young Master Zhong is a man after all, it's not good for the young prince to like him so much..."

Emperor Chong'an was fascinated, "It's not very good, but the father-son relationship between Ziyou and I has just repaired a little bit, it's not good to do anything at this juncture, and hurt the relationship again."

The old eunuch cautiously comforted, "Maybe it will be three to five years? When the two of them get older, they can't still be like glue, right?"

Emperor Chong'an was noncommittal, "It's hard to say, this child Ziyou never hits the south wall and doesn't look back, what if he is going to be smashed to death on this wall?"

The old eunuch felt an unusual aura, and he didn't dare to answer.

Emperor Chong'an sighed and shook his head, "It's not easy being a father. You have to win over the cabinet ministers for him, take care of King Yu for him, and deal with such trivial matters for him."

The old lady overheard what Emperor Chong'an said, and said bravely, "Your majesty, you are aware of the little prince's temperament, and you are so mad that you will not recognize him. If you make a move and end up with Young Master Zhong, the servant is afraid that the young prince will be angry. Do something drastic."

Emperor Chong'an smiled, "Where did you go? What did I kill Zhong Wan for? I just want to pave the way for my son. Since he wants this big position, he will be obedient."

Five days later, Emperor Chong'an bid farewell to all the officials, and took the royal family members with him, and went out of the palace to the palace in a mighty way.

Emperor Chong'an took all his sons and daughters with him, except for the queen, he did not bring any other concubines.

Zhong Wan sat on the carriage, leaned on the soft pillow and lifted the curtain to look out, 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, after all, she is also the birth mother of the prince. Isn't he afraid that King Yu will take someone hostage?"

Yu She lowered his head to read the book, without raising his head, he said, "You think everyone is like me, and you will be bound by your side wherever you go."

Zhong Wan smiled, put the car curtain back, and said, "May I take a look for you?"

The emperor was not in the capital, and there were people passing documents between the palace and the cabinet every day. Emperor Chong'an didn't have the energy to deal with government affairs, so he simply pushed all the government affairs to Yu She.

Yu She folded a stack of books into two and gave half 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 booklet: Ask me if I want to bring Cong Xin and Xuan Yu with me.

Yu She frowned, their eyes met, Yu She wrote: Has he become suspicious?

Zhong Wan shook her head: I can't tell, I don't believe he didn't know that the twins are no longer in Beijing, he asked me on purpose, it was more like probing.

Zhong Wan thought for a while and wrote: The news of Xuanrui's robbery and murder had not reached Jingzhong, so he probably didn't know about it, otherwise he wouldn't have vacated Jingzhong.

Yu She was silent for a moment, and wrote: Smartness is misunderstood by cleverness.

Zhong Wan smiled, folded the book full of handwriting, tore it into pieces, and threw them 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 reply was completed, and whispered, "When will the emperor make a move?"

Yu She was silent for a moment and shook his head, "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 as long as you want in the future."

Zhong Wan smiled, "Where did you go just now, little prince, so you are so sure that I will be allowed to live in the palace in the future?"

Yu She didn't speak, Zhong Wan wanted to get along with Yu She wholeheartedly, and leaned close to Yu She's side, leaning comfortably on Yu She's shoulder, thinking, "The palace here is fine, 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 used as a palace when I was young, and a home for the elderly after decades, okay?"

Yu She nodded: "Okay."

Zhong Wan bent her long legs, put her hands on her knees, and asked with a smile, "Will you accompany me when the time comes?"

Yu She still nodded, "Accompany."

Zhong Wan squinted at Yu She, and suddenly felt that there was no need to ask any more questions.

For some reason, Zhong Wan was determined that the things Cong Xin worried about would never happen.

He and Yu She have stumbled all the way to the present, not for the sake of becoming strangers in the future.

A group of people walked for a full day, and finally arrived at the palace in the evening.

Yu She did not avoid suspicion, and did not allow Zhong Wan to leave his side for half a step, and Zhong Wan's expression was very natural, as if the two of them should be like this.

Emperor Chong'an turned a blind eye, and no one else dared to say anything. After a lively dinner, everyone went back to their courtyards.

The location of the palace left by Emperor Chong'an to Yu She is very good. It is not far from the main hall, but it is quiet enough. Yu She and Zhong Wanli went back to the inner hall after admiring it. Take a breath.

Yu She smiled, "I finally waited for this day, why? Are you scared?"

Zhong Wan shook her head, "It's not that I'm afraid...Ziyou, you've been holding me by your side all the time today, and just now you deliberately asked them to prepare this and that for me in front of others, what is the meaning behind it?"

Yu She paused, "What is the meaning of this?"

Zhong Wan gritted her teeth: "It doesn't mean much. What do you mean by saying so loudly to the palace servants that I have to take a bath before going to bed, and put flower petals in the tub, fresh, and only big red petals?! I wish others would know that I am hypocritical? I When do you need flower petals in the shower?!"

Yu She turned around in embarrassment and didn't speak.

"You..." Zhong Wan pursed her lips and asked, "Are you worried that the emperor will finish me off?"

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 sleep with you, and you want the emperor to be wary of killing me, for fear of hurting you when you kill me, right?"

"Be prepared." Yu She sat down and said calmly, "The emperor has always been gentle with you, don't just be fooled by him."

Zhong Wan said: "Of course not."

"I'm just suddenly worried about other things." Zhong Wan put his hands 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 tricks on the new emperor in the future, and was confused by you. He felt that you would be soft-hearted to King Yu in the future, so he simply abandoned this chess piece. Is there anyone else?"

"Besides me, who else might affect you?"

Zhong Wan glanced at Yu She, and then wrote: The Empress Dowager is regent...

Yu She's heart sank.

Zhong Wan said softly, "Ziyou, didn't you bring a lot of refreshments when you came here? Let your people send some to Princess An?"

Yu She met Zhong Wan's eyes and understood what Zhong Wan meant, and nodded after a while, "Okay."

In Choushi, Yu She and Zhong Wan were lying 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 said softly, "Sleep, I'll call you if something happens..."

Before Yu She could finish his sentence, there was a sudden burst of chaotic shouts outside, and the lights outside the window flickered, as if many people had rushed into the courtyard.

Zhong Wan's breathing was rapid, and Emperor Chong'an was really quick to move.

After a while, a palace man outside hurriedly knocked on the door and shouted, "Little prince? Is the little prince okay? Little prince? Something happened! Something happened!!!"

Yu She got up and put on his outer robe, drew out the sword beside the bed, and opened the door, "What's wrong?"

"An accident happened!!!" The palace man knelt on the ground with a plop, crying, "For some reason, a lot of assassins have sneaked into this palace! They have been hiding for a long time, and then they took advantage of the night to attack suddenly. The emperor and the eldest princess were assassinated." Already!"

In the darkness, Yu She's eyes flashed, "How is the princess?"

"It's okay, okay!" the palace man said eagerly, "Someone outside bumped into those assassins. They found out early, and the guards rushed in in time. The princess only hurt her arm, nothing serious!"

Zhong Wan in the room breathed a sigh of relief, Yu She's face was cold, "Where's the emperor?"

The palace man said anxiously, "Your majesty is all right, but I don't know how many assassins have come here, and how many are still hiding in the palace. The emperor is worried, so let the princesses and princes go to the main hall immediately! There are many guards over there. Nothing will go wrong!"

Yu She put away his saber, "Okay."

After a cup of tea, Yu She brought Zhong Wan to the main hall, Xuan Jing, Xuan Qiong and the others had just been frightened, and stood aside with a bad complexion, the old eunuch in the hall saw Yu She came and hurriedly invited him in.

In the inner hall, Emperor Chong'an was wearing a robe, sitting on the bed with a cold face, and asked after listening to the guard's words, "Have you found out? Where did the assassin come in from?"

The guard said uncertainly, "In the garden... there is a bamboo forest. The forest is deep and leafy, and the defense is neglected. When I searched, I found a secret passage."

The hall was extremely quiet for a moment.

Emperor Chong'an said slowly, "This is my palace, I don't even know it, but there is a secret passage in this palace."

The guard's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. "I don't know how many years the secret road has been built. It is hidden underground. There is a high slope there, and it is not easy to be eroded by rain, and it cannot be easily collapsed. It is really... not easy to find."

An old eunuch next to Emperor Chong'an took half a step forward, and said softly, "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, this palace was built under the supervision of King Yu, right?"
