Deep ice

Huaihuai was taken aback, and shook Chunbao awake, "Chunbao? Why are you here?"

Chun Bao rubbed his sleepy eyes, and glanced at Huai Huai, "Yesterday I fell off the wall, and my whole body fell apart, but I heard the guard say that Huayu Palace's foot ban doesn't care about my business, I just want to go back However, he had no choice but to crawl back, but who knew how far he had climbed before he was arrested again by the guards, saying what the emperor ordered, and punished those who ran out by kneeling, saying that I was also counted as running Those who came out were caught."

Huai Huai sighed, "I got you in trouble."

Chun Bao shook his head, wiped his nose to clear his tears, "This is fate."

The watchman outside the house listened to the movement, pushed the door in and yelled,

"Kneel down to our family. If there is any irregularity, it is disobedient and disrespectful, and your head will be lost."

Hearing this, Chun Bao hurriedly knelt down, and when the eunuch left, he suddenly showed regret, "It's broken!"

Huai Huai knelt down, "What's wrong?"

"I forgot to ask the guard to bring a message to Eunuch You, tell him that we are here, I don't know who will bring us food on this day of kneeling..."

"You and I are being punished, how can someone come to deliver food," Huai Huai said, "But maybe it will be fine, why don't you just ask the guarding eunuch when he comes in later."

When Chun Bao heard the words, he pulled his neck and moaned until he called the guard eunuch into the room, "What are you howling, don't let us tear your mouth apart."

Chun Bao looked back at the guarding eunuch, "Eunuch, do you recognize Eunuch You from Huayu Palace?"

The eunuch rolled his eyes and snorted softly, "So what if I recognize it."

Chunbao said: "Then please let me know that Huaihuai and I are here, and when the time comes to deliver meals, bring some more. If Huaihuai is starving, it will be a disaster."

The guard eunuch asked, "Then who are you?"

Chunbao pouted, "Xiao Guizi."

The eunuch was taken aback for a moment, then put his hips on his hips and scolded: "Just by your name, you know you're an idiot, you've reached this point and you still want to eat, eat your father's eggs!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went out of the house, the door was closed with a bang, and there was no other movement.

Huaihuai had a look that he had expected a long time ago, "I'll just say..."

Chunbao suddenly despaired, "Huaihuai, how many days do we have to kneel?"

Huai Huai pondered for a moment, "When I was arrested, I vaguely remembered that a eunuch said it was three days."

Chun Bao calmed down a bit, "Fortunately, it's not too long, I can still resist..."

Then I suddenly remembered the same thing, "Why do we have to kneel as a punishment?"

Huai Huai shook his head, "I don't know about that."

Chun Bao sighed, "It's really a misfortune from the sky, I ran out so easily, I didn't get things done, but I stumbled again."

Huai Huai said: "I think it's pretty good, I saw the prince."

Chun Bao's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Huaihuai nodded, "Naturally."

"Speak up?"

"No, I saw him once, and never saw him again."

Chun Bao said: "It's not a way to go on like this, think about it, the palace is so big, it's always a matter of luck, it really doesn't make sense, we should think of a way to see him more often."

Huai Huai said: "That's true. I was thinking of asking him where he lives the next time we meet, so that I can visit him from time to time."

Chun Bao shook his head, "That won't work, he won't stay in the house all day, he has to walk around all the time, just knowing where he lives is absolutely not enough, being able to track his whereabouts is the key to victory."

Huai Huai's eyes were empty, "This is too difficult..."

Chun Bao said: "Don't make noise, let me think about it."

When Huaihuai heard the words, he quickly shut up, waiting for Chunbao to speak again.

Chun Bao thought hard for a whole day, and finally opened his mouth when the sun was setting.

"It's done!"

Huai Huai's knees were sore, and his face was tired, "Why have you thought about it for so long, you used to think very quickly..."

Chun Bao waved his hand, "I've thought of many ways this time, so it took me some time."

Huai Huai asked in surprise, "So many?"

Chun Bao nodded triumphantly, "That's right. I compared them again and again, discarded them one by one, and finally chose the best one among them. I'm sure it will work."

Huai Huai's eyes were full of gratitude, "Brother Chun is so righteous, how can I repay you..."

Chun Bao said: "You're welcome, didn't you give me all your tonics."

Huai Huai said: "What is the method?"

Chun Bao acted profoundly, "If you think about it carefully, this matter is not difficult. Since you want to know the whereabouts of the prince, you only need one thing."

Huai Huai stared at Chun Bao's outstretched finger, his eyes were a little straight,

"What?"

Chunbao lowered his voice, "Before I was outside the palace, I heard that dogs have unusually sharp noses. You and I should find a dog to take with us, so that the beast can't smell it."

Huai Huai looked solemn, "I've never seen any live animals in this palace, let alone dogs..."

Chun Bao patted his chest, "I saw it in the imperial dining room. It is said that Concubine Ye likes to eat dog soup. The imperial dining room prepares live animals every day. I stole one in the past."

Huaihuai couldn't be happy, "Then we need to let the dog smell the prince first, if he is afraid, what should we do if we don't let the beast get close?"

Chun Bao said: "I thought of it for you a long time ago, and there is no need for the dog to go up and smell it, just an object on the prince's body."

Huai Huai said happily: "This is a good idea."

Chun Bao turned to him and asked, "How did you get it?"

Huaihuai didn't take it seriously, "The next time we meet, we'll just go with him."

Chun Bao curled his lips, "Let's say that you haven't even gotten close to him, let alone asked for something. If he doesn't give it to you, what will you do?"

Huaihuai immediately became depressed, "But it's true... If he doesn't give it to me, I can't grab it."

Chun Bao frowned fiercely, "Many times, people are forced to do nothing."

Huaihuai glanced at Chunbao, "What do you mean, is it really a robbery?"

Chun Bao said: "Only this time, there will be no next time."

Huai Huai shook his head, "No, if I rob him, he will remember me and treat me as the thief, wouldn't it be counterproductive?"

Chun Bao said: "I'll be with you, when the time comes, you can just push the blame to me."

Huaihuai was a little tempted when he heard the words, "Tell me, how to grab it?"

Chun Bao clenched his hands tightly, with a solemn expression, "When that person is ordered, I'll pretend to be a lunatic and go up and pull his hair!"

Huai Huai looked at Chun Bao, "Could it be that you ripped off his hair and brought it back for the dog to smell?"

Chun Bao shook his head, "No, but when I was pulling his hair, you took the opportunity to go up and take out his handkerchief, and when you want to see him, give the dog a sniff of the handkerchief for a while, and you will be able to find him." with him."

Huaihuai hesitated for a moment, "Is this possible?"

Chun Bao said firmly, "I've thought about it for a whole day, and I'm sure I'll be safe."

Then he said: "Right now, I'm just waiting to go back to Huayu Palace. After your restraint is lifted, I'm waiting for an opportunity."

-

Seven days later.

Royal study.

He didn't close his eyes for several days, and the blackness in Yuan Jing's eyes became more and more serious.

On this day, Imperial Physician Xu just came to ask for a pulse, knelt on the ground, frowned and said: "The emperor is sick from overwork, and his breath is not smooth. After the minister prescribes a prescription, he will have a good birth for a few months before he can keep healthy." The dragon body is healthy."

Yuan Jing had no expression on his face, he just waved his hand and said, "Go down."

After Imperial Physician Xu bowed and retreated, Xi Lian took the prescription and was about to run to the inner hospital. As soon as he left the door, he bumped into three or four important military officials from the door, all of them were as thin as bamboo poles, with dark faces waiting to be summoned .

Xi Lian felt a chill in his heart, he hurriedly handed the recipe to the little eunuch behind him, then turned and went back to the room.

After Yuan Jing announced several people into the hall, it only took a few words, but he was furious.

Several old ministers knelt on the ground tremblingly, what's more, they broke down and cried bitterly on the spot.

"Your Majesty...lost two cities in a row...the old minister deserves death..."

Yuan Jing stood in one place, with bright yellow broken porcelain scattered all over the ground at his feet, the concoction was winding and overflowing, and no one in the palace rushed to collect it.

"One hundred thousand elite soldiers are so vulnerable...the military salary of millions of taels will never return..." Yuan Jing's lips raised a sneering smile, which was cold and cold, "You guys... Who doesn't deserve to die..."

Xi Lian inadvertently saw the emperor's slightly hanging fingers, with distinct joints, stained with a little scarlet, and immediately knelt on the ground, "The emperor... the emperor's hand..."

Yuan Jing's face was getting more and more dead, and without hearing a glance, he pointed to the minister kneeling on the ground, "Get out, get out of here."

When two of them heard this, they got up from the ground and retreated tremblingly.

The oldest one was still lying on the ground, crying endlessly, "The old minister just wants to die... I hope the emperor will do it..."

Yuan Jing put two fingers together, the scarlet color became more and more colorful,

"You act like I don't want to take your life, but when it's time to take it, I will naturally not be lenient."

The old official bowed his head to the ground, collapsed like a paralyzed man, and did not move at all.

Yuan Jing was so disgusted that he felt his heart was suffocated, so he turned around and left the hall.

Xi Lian hurriedly followed behind, but coldly refused,

"I want to walk alone, you just stay here."

Xi Lian was stunned on the spot with his mouth open, "Your Majesty, the slaves will die. Your Majesty will go out alone... This is against the rules of the ancestors."

Yuan Jing's face was bloodless, his eyes were empty,

"If there is another person who advises and obstructs, I will be punished."
