Baishou loses Shaohua

"His Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness!" Yang Rui approached Yu Chenglie and called softly.

Yu Chenglie suddenly came back to his senses only to realize that he hadn't listened to any minister's performance throughout the morning.He pressed the center of his eyebrows and sat up straight. Although the dragon chair was big, it was very stiff, and it was still very uncomfortable even though it was covered with a thick bright yellow brocade cushion. It was never a comfortable position.

"Is there any play?" Yu Chenglie asked.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the officials have finished playing." Yang Rui thought for a while and added, "There is nothing too important."

Since the crown prince supervised the country, Yang Rui followed the order of Emperor Chongde to follow Yu Chenglie to the early court. Although Yang Rui had not been in power for many years, Emperor Chongde knew clearly that this teenager had been by his side The confidant who helped him conquer the world is actually very smart.It is this intelligence that allows him to stay by his side safely and securely today, and he can rest assured that he is by the prince's side to take care of and assist him.

"Then retreat."

Yu Chenglie stood up and walked back, Yang Rui immediately followed, and the eunuch at the side immediately shouted knowingly: "Back to the court..."

"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unwell? Do you need the Imperial Doctor?" Yang Rui asked.

"It's just that I didn't sleep well last night. It's not a problem." Yu Chenglie shook his head, "If you alarm the imperial doctor's mother, you should know. Don't let her worry about it."

"Yes." Yang Rui nodded.

Chenglie walked out of the main hall and stopped, and Yang Rui, who was following him, also stopped, Yu Chenglie turned around and waved to the palace ladies and eunuchs behind him: "Go down first. "

The maids and eunuchs immediately understood, saluted and left quietly.

Yu Chenglie untied the silver-gray cloak he was wearing and put it on Yang Rui himself.

"His Royal Highness..." Yang Rui was quite frightened and hurried to take it down.

Yu Chenglie pressed Yang Rui's shoulder and said with a smile: "In the past six months, Director Yang has worked hard while serving the emperor and assisting me. This cloak is not very expensive, but the queen mother asked the personal maid in the palace to give it to you." Come here, I have never been too afraid of coldness in my hands and it is useless, Director Yang is busy with the front and back palaces so I have to take good care of my body, neither father nor I can do without Director Yang."

Yang Rui has served in the palace since the establishment of Emperor Chongde. He has not seen any scenes or heard any words for more than ten years, but even if Yu Chenglie's words make him a little moved, but The moving face was only fleeting, and he naturally knew that Yu Chenglie would not give him such favors for no reason.In the eyes of Yang Rui, the so-called real favor is not money, treasures and power, but a gesture. It was a gesture that made him decide to follow Emperor Chongde and even help him seize the throne.Yu Chenglie is the best heir in Beining, the future emperor of the world, different from his natural monarchs and ministers, but at this time he lowered his posture and came to him, which really flattered him, but he had to be careful.In the past half a year, Yang Rui had already seen clearly that their highness the crown prince was gentle and gentle on the surface, but he was no less inferior to his father in planning strategies for the city.

"Serving Your Majesty is a subject's duty. Your Majesty has the grace to know you, and I will never forget it. This subject is stupid. It is flattering for Your Majesty to let you serve His Highness the Crown Prince. The word "assistant" is too heavy. I am ashamed and dare not be a minister." Yang Ruisheng came from a scholarly family but loved martial arts since he was a child. He was a brave and resourceful soldier under Emperor Chongde. Even though he has been in this deep palace for more than ten years, he still knows While serving his duties as a minister, he has retained a strong and iron frame. He has always been respectful but not humble in speaking and doing things.

Yu Chenglie still maintained the smile on his lips, and stretched out his hand to support Yang Rui's bowed arm: "Boss Yang is too modest."

Yang Rui followed Yu Chenglie's movements and stood up straight. He knew that Yu Chenglie still had something to say.

"Director Yang is a hero who founded the country, and he has served his father wholeheartedly for more than ten years. I can see his trust in Director Yang and his loyalty to his father." Yu Chenglie's eyes shifted from Yang Rui. Open, looking at the lush pines and cypresses not far away in the cold winter weather, and then slowly said, "It's just that the father is not in good health now, I think it's better not to make the father sad about some things, I don't know what Mr. Yang thinks how?"

Yang Rui naturally understood that Yu Chenglie was asking on the surface, but in fact he had to agree.

"I understand what His Highness the Crown Prince means, but I don't know which thing His Highness hopes His Majesty will not worry about?" Yang Rui asked.

Yu Chenglie smiled: "Director Yang is a smart man."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is absurd." Yang Rui replied.

"Father's body is not as good as before, and I feel sad in the eyes of the son of man. Now I can't be by my father's side all the time. It would be too unfilial for my father to worry about it. As for the other Director Yang Don't worry, I hope more than anyone else that my father can live long." Yu Chenglie sighed faintly when he said this, "But too many things always fail to meet people's wishes."

"I understand, Your Highness, please rest assured." Yang Rui agreed.He let go of military power 17 years ago because he didn't want military power to become a sharp knife hanging over his head one day. He chose to stay with Emperor Chongde in order to repay Emperor Chongde for his kindness.He knows too many secrets hidden under the annals of history, and he knows that some old things have always been the heart disease of Emperor Chongde, so he has no objection to Yu Chenglie's words, just pretending not to understand is just to test Yu Chenglie hard work.

"In this case, Director Yang will go back to Chaohua Palace first. I will change my clothes before I go to greet my father."

"Yes, I retire."

Yu Chenglie turned around and walked towards his bedroom. He didn't fully trust Yang Rui. After all, Yang Rui had been with Emperor Chongde for too many years. The tricky thing is to directly accept the order of Emperor Chongde, who has been chasing and killing Ji Yinghan and Weimen Ming for many years.

When Yu Chenglie returned to Yuexi Palace, Ming had been waiting there for a long time.

"His Royal Highness."

"Have you checked everything out?"

"Yes."

Ming is still dressed in black, with only a pair of eyes exposed through the black cloth mask.For such a long time, Yu Chenglie has never seen his true face in Mount Lushan, but his cold, falcon-like eyes with the breath of death are unforgettable.Yu Chenglie didn't know where Emperor Chongde found him, and what method he used to take him for his own use. Everything about this man is a mystery.

Yu Chenglie has to admit that although he has a few capable confidants by his side, none of them can compare with Ming.The ruthless murderous aura in Ming's body was even worse than Ji Yinghan's. Yu Chenglie lamented that it was not easy for Ji Yinghan to escape Ming's pursuit many times over the years.

"There's one thing I don't quite understand."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"You have been following my orders for a while, but have you ever asked your father for instructions?"

"Never."

"Why?"

"The servants who work for His Majesty always return to order after the work is completed."

"The time in Linzhou before..."

"Because His Highness was injured in Linzhou, I feel that I should report to His Majesty."

"I see." Yu Chenglie nodded, and then asked, "Then you are not worried that I will disrupt the situation again?"

"Don't worry, sir."

Yu Chenglie knew very well that Ming's so-called "not worrying" was not because he thought he would not disturb the situation, but that he was confident enough to make the matter develop into the result that Emperor Chongde wanted.Yu Chenglie didn't know where Ming's self-confidence came from, but he felt that he could do it for no reason.

"My lord Ming should have heard the saying that once the emperor and the courtiers." The smile in Yu Chenglie's words showed that this sentence was not a threat. He knew that the threat was of no use to Ming, not to mention that he felt that the threat was in a weak position. means used when.

"I have heard of it." Ming was neither humble nor overbearing.

"Then I wonder if I can completely trust Lord Ming?" Yu Chenglie asked.

There was a hint of a smile in Mingyin's cold eyes: "Excuse me, I'm afraid your Highness will never completely trust you."

Yu Chenglie didn't expect Ming to answer so bluntly, so he also smiled frankly: "Master Ming is right."

This was the first time that the two of them were open and honest, but Yu Chenglie didn't know at this time that Ming's so-called "don't worry" was not just because he had his own confidence in everything, but because he had seen through too much. There were many things that Yu Chenglie hadn't seen through at that time.
