miscalculation

Yun Zhao rode to the gate of the palace, was about to take out his token and enter the palace with the privilege of acting as an inner guard, but stopped.He knew very well that what he saw today should not be spread to outsiders. If the Holy One kills someone to silence him, he would be committing suicide if he went to report it.

After lingering at the gate of the palace for a long time, he finally turned around and went to the Qin/Wang Mansion.Xiao Liang was about to go to bed when he heard someone knocking on the door.

Outside the door, Yun Zhao's voice came: "His Royal Highness, are you asleep?"

"Is there anything important?" Xiao Liang was a little surprised, Yun Zhao had obviously entered the palace, and according to the distance, it was impossible to return to the mansion so soon.

"This subordinate...the subordinate is fine."

Xiao Liang heard something strange about his words, so he put on his robe and went to open the door, but seeing Yun Zhao standing at the door with a hesitant face, he invited him in.

"Come in, if nothing happened, how could you go back and come back? What is it that makes you so uneasy?" Xiao Liang asked after pouring a cup of tea and sending out the night guards.

Yun Zhao knelt down and said, "This subordinate has something unclear, and I hope His Highness can clarify Yun Zhao's doubts."

"You said."

"Your Highness must also know that this subordinate is the bodyguard of the Holy Majesty. When he was sent to His Highness, he had the task of monitoring and observing. That day, my subordinate went to look for snow primrose and came back seriously injured. You don't ask the reason, you just found it for your subordinate. Wound medicine. His Royal Highness King Zhao wants to make things difficult for his subordinates, but you don’t know the inside story, but you would rather offend him than easily hand it over to your subordinates. Why is this?”

Xiao Liang glanced at him, and asked: "You knocked on the door in the middle of the night and disturbed my king's rest, is that for this?"

Yun Zhao raised his head and looked at Xiao Liang level, without any fear: "Yes."

"This king just thinks that you are just obeying the orders of others, and you can't help yourself. As long as you don't do things that are not good for this king, there is nothing wrong with it. If the father wants to be bad for this king, this king can only let it go. Kill you , father will still send someone again. It is rare that you are strong in martial arts, and you are willing to bother for this king's snow crow, so why not keep you by my side. If you were directly asked about your injury, would you tell me? Will you keep your mouth shut or fabricate lies to perfunctory you? If this is the case, why should I ask you again? As for the matter of the second brother looking for you, I just don’t want to cause trouble. Let me tell you the truth, anyway, I must have my father by my side If the eyes and ears are there, it’s better to leave something pleasing to the eye.”

Xiao Liang didn't wait for Yun Zhao to answer, and said again: "If you want to convey this to Father, you can do it." After speaking, he raised his hand to signal him to stand up.

Seeing Xiao Liang's calm face, Yun Zhao didn't care at all, and couldn't see through his thoughts for a moment, so he could only stand up first.Just as he was about to leave, he went out, turned around and said: "Today, I do have something to report."

Xiao Liang was not surprised either, and asked instead: "You just entered the palace, but to report this matter to Emperor Father?"

"Yes. But this subordinate did not enter the palace to tell His Majesty, but turned back halfway."

"Why is this?"

"Just because of this matter, once it is said, it will cause trouble."

"Today is the joy of my king's housewarming. You have been serving in the mansion all the time. The disaster you mentioned has something to do with this king?"

Yun Zhao said, "Go back to His Royal Highness King Qin, this is not true."

Xiao Liang became a little anxious, so he said, "What's the matter? Don't hesitate."

Yun Zhao said: "Your Highness, don't be impatient, and allow your subordinates to talk about it in detail. For today's housewarming, my subordinates moved into the wing room together with others, and then the butler let the subordinates stay there, so they don't have to come out to serve."

Xiao Liang knew in his heart that the butler must know that Yun Zhao was a bodyguard sent by his father, so he dared not send him to do things.

Yun Zhao went on to say: "The subordinates have nothing to do, and then saw the guests walking away, so they wanted to go to the backyard to find an open space to practice swords. Because of the large number of people in the mansion, the subordinates had the courage to jump up on the eaves to check around, but unexpectedly they saw In a secluded place in the backyard, King Yue and King Qi are feeding the fish."

Xiao Liang felt strange, and asked: "So what? The eldest brother and the fifth brother have always been friends, so what's so strange about feeding the fish together?"

Yun Zhao blushed, and said, "I don't think it's strange to see that they sent all the subordinates out to feed the fish while talking and laughing. It's just...just..."

"Just what? Tell me quickly!" Xiao Liang was very puzzled.

"The subordinate suddenly chuckled when he saw King Qi, and hugged King Yue in his arms, and the two of them met. Although... King Yue quickly pushed away, but he said with a smile: 'Brother, there is no one around here. , what are you afraid of? Now you come to feed the fish, and I will feed you later.' Hearing this, King Yue didn't show any anger, but was quite ashamed, so he got up and went out of the yard, and came to say goodbye to you. "

Yun Zhao is a master of martial arts and has excellent hearing ability.Xiao Jue's words were originally spoken next to Xiao Qian's ear, plus there was no one around the courtyard, he would never have imagined that someone above the eaves could hear the words clearly.

Hearing this, Xiao Liang was furious, and scolded: "Yun Zhao, how dare you slander the King of Yue and King Qi like this! The vow of the King of Yue not to marry for Shen Lingjiao's life is well known in the world. Love is deep and righteous, how can you mess with the king of Qi? Besides, they are all close relatives, not to mention the king of Qi, the king of Yue has always been a modest son who restrains himself and respects etiquette. An act of virtue?"

Seeing that he was furious, Yun Zhao hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed again: "Every sentence of this subordinate is true, so I dare not lie to His Highness! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, my subordinate would not dare to believe it. If I don't hide it from Your Highness, I would like to I went to the palace overnight to report to the Holy Majesty, but...the matter is too serious, and I am afraid that the Holy Majesty will be angry, so I returned to the palace."

Xiao Liang waved his hand and said: "No matter what you see is believing, or you fabricated it out of thin air, you have to keep your mouth shut. If your task is to monitor this king, then you should focus on this king wholeheartedly, and treat other things as if you have seen it." Didn't see it. The king is tired, you go down."

After Yun Zhao saluted, he withdrew.Xiao Liang was still standing there in a daze, he really didn't expect such a thing to happen.Xiao Qian and Xiao Jue have been close since childhood, which is taken for granted in everyone's eyes, not to mention that things such as broken sleeves, which are only seen in books, happened to his eldest brother and fifth brother, which is really too shocking.All of a sudden, his thoughts went back and forth a thousand times, but he couldn't figure out a clue.He lay in bed, unable to sleep, with his eyes open until dawn.When the cock crowed, I suddenly had a dream, and seemed to see Ji Lan holding her hand and feeding the fish by the pond.

Xiao Liang woke up immediately, and shouted: "Steward! Steward!"

"Your Highness, your servant is here, what are your orders?"

"Quickly let me fill up that fish pond!"

"This...Your Highness, this is absolutely impossible."

"how?"

"This fish pond was drawn by Mr. Yang Yushu himself and asked to be dug open, and the water from Ju Tianhe was brought in. There are only a few koi in it. There is only one hundred-year-old turtle, which is especially precious. I heard that the concubine Hui has not left the pavilion. I am very fond of the tortoise, even after entering the palace, I entrusted someone to take care of it. The tortoise cannot leave the fish pond, so if it is filled up, it may damage the luck of the palace."

"Nonsense!" Xiao Liang reprimanded.

The housekeeper said again: "His Royal Highness calm down, and listen to the villain's words, even if the tortoise's theory cannot be fully believed. But as soon as His Highness moved into the mansion, he filled up the fish pond, which may attract unfilial words."

After thinking about it, Xiao Liang realized that the steward's words were true, so he said: "Forget it, you can go down."

Here, Ji Lan left Xiao Liang and went back to the house, and also stayed up all night.His grandfather wanted him to make friends with Xiao Liang, which made him have to get close to him.But every time Xiao Liang showed kindness, he backed off a little.He likes this kind-hearted prince, and he doesn't want to see this innocence trampled beyond recognition by the struggle for imperial power one day.But now he had to make friends with him again, which made him feel that every ounce of kindness he had towards Xiao Liang was to be used.Once Xiao Liang responded, he was worried that he would let him down, so he backed away again and again, not daring to approach.
