Probably because of some uneasiness in his heart, Rong Zhuo wanted to see Yu Jingdu very much today.

That night, he went to the house, hoping that Yu Jingdu would come to see him.

It's a pity that he waited until he fell asleep, but he didn't see the other party's figure.

Before going to sleep, Rong Zhuo couldn't help thinking that maybe Yu Jingdu would come as soon as he opened his eyes in the middle of the night.

Because in the past, Yu Jingdu would always come to him in the middle of the night for safety reasons.

What he didn't know was that Yu Jingdu was more anxious than him at the moment.

Because the emperor sent a team of imperial guards to the palace for a banquet today, the palace was suddenly covered by the emperor's eyeliner, so Yu Jingdu couldn't get out at all.

Of course, the main purpose of the emperor's sending people was not surveillance, but protection.

Just like rewards are routinely required before the edict is issued, sending someone to protect the safety of the quasi-crown prince is also part of showing the emperor's favor.The emperor not only sent people, but also the elites of the imperial army, all of whom were selected by Xue Cheng himself.

Because of this, Yu Jingdu didn't dare to act rashly.

Regardless of whether the other party sent someone to monitor or not, his every move is bound to be under the emperor's nose.

If he plays tricks, it's not that he can't get rid of people.

But at this moment, if there is any change in him, the emperor will definitely be suspicious.

So he could only hold back his temper and stabilize the emperor.As long as the other party is not suspicious, the person should withdraw after the canonized edict is issued.If he made too many petty moves, the emperor might have someone settle in the Yanwang Mansion on a whim, and that would be troublesome.

"Your Highness, why don't you go out and bring a message to Young Master Rong?" Li Feng asked.

He followed Yu Jingdu for a long time, so he naturally knew what his Highness was worried about.

Yu Jingdu thought for a while, and said, "Are any spies and secret guards coming back after nightfall?"

"No." Li Feng said: "The people from the East Palace and the people who protected Young Master Rong have not come back either."

"The spies didn't come back, which means that in addition to the imperial guards in the palace, secret sentries have been planted outside." Yu Jingdu said: "Now that the spies can't come in, you and I don't know how many tails are buried outside. If you rush to find It will be troublesome if he lures people over."

Hearing this, Li Feng could only dispel this idea.

"Then what should we do now?" Li Feng asked.

"Don't do anything." Yu Jingdu sighed, "He must have heard about the rewards from the palace today, and he knows that the imperial edict will come down soon. Even if he can't guess the current situation of the palace, Most of them will also think that this king has too many things to do."

Yu Jingdu wasn't worried that Rong Zhuo might misunderstand something, he just wanted Rong Zhuo too much.

The last time they went back, the two of them didn't talk properly, and he even made people angry.

After doing this, I don't know when I will see you again.

Sometimes Yu Jingdu couldn't help thinking that he might as well elope with Rong Zhuo.

He really didn't want to serve his father.

But he was just thinking about it, he couldn't let Rong Zhuo live with him that kind of fearful life for the rest of his life.

Although it is tricky right now, it is temporary after all.

He is sure that he will soon turn the customer into the master and hold the initiative in his own hands.

"Counting the time, the news that the former prince was abolished may have reached the border." Yu Jingdu said.

"There must be spies in the capital of Kuang Kingdom, maybe they have news before the former prince was deposed."

"When the news reaches the border, Kuang Kingdom will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and something will happen." Yu Jingdu said: "When General Chang's book comes to Beijing, we won't be wasting time here."

He would rather go back to the border and have a fight with the Kuang Kingdom than stay in this banquet palace and be a bird in a cage again.

When he leaves Beijing, no matter how long his hand is, his good father will not be able to reach him...

That night, no one entered or exited the Banquet Palace.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the spies came back.

Li Feng asked the people who came, and learned that there were indeed many people stationed outside the palace. Fortunately, Yu Jingdu didn't let him out last night, otherwise, if there was an expert following him among the thorns outside, the existence of Rong Zhuo would definitely be destroyed. will be exposed.

Just thinking about it like this made Li Feng feel chills down his spine.

Fortunately, their highness knew the one in the palace, so they escaped unharmed.

"When the king goes to the court tomorrow, you send a suitable person to do something for the king. It must be done beautifully, so that no trace can be seen." Yu Jingdu said to Li Feng.Today is a rest, so Yu Jingdu didn't leave the mansion either.

Li Feng understood the intention of Yu Jingdu's arrangement after hearing the words. To put it bluntly, the people in the palace "protected" Yu Jingdu. Once Yu Jingdu left the palace, they would definitely transfer some of them away to follow Yu Jingdu .

In this way, the palace is relaxed.

At that time, it would not be difficult to find a spy to find an opportunity to go out.

So the next morning, Rong Zhuo was woken up by knocking on the door.

At first he thought it was Yu Jingdu who came, but soon realized something was wrong.

If it was Yu Jingdu, the other party would not knock on the door at all, and would come in directly.

"Who is it?" Rong Zhuo asked with some vigilance.

"Master Rong, Mr. Wu sent me to deliver a letter." The man outside said.

Rong Zhuo frowned, thinking that he didn't know Mr. Wu.

"Which Mr. Wu?" Rong Zhuo asked again.

"Wu Da, Mr. Wu."

Rong Zhuo: ...

This is the alias he and Yu Jingdu Yi Rong used to pretend to be brothers.

Rong Zhuo hurried to open the door, and saw a young man dressed as a servant standing at the door.

The young man handed the sandalwood box in his hand to Rong Zhuo, who looked familiar to Rong Zhuo.

"Young Master Rong, please read it now, and I will wait for your reply before I can go back and report." The man said humanely.

Rong Zhuo nodded, opened the sandalwood box and saw a red rose inside, and a letter under the rose.

He quickly went back to the room and sat down in front of the desk, first carefully took out the red rose, and then took out the letter to read it.

The letter was written to him by Yu Jingdu, and there was no title or signature on it, but Rong Zhuo could still recognize his tone at a glance.

When Rong Zhuo was in Jiangfu, for a period of time, Yu Jingdu corresponded with him every day.

But at that time, Yu Jingdu didn't talk much, and Rong Zhuo would ramble and write a few pages every day, while Yu Jingdu only said "everything is fine" over and over again.

But today's letter was different, Yu Jingdu seemed to be afraid that Rong Zhuo might misunderstand something, so he explained the matter very clearly in the letter.Although for the sake of safety, some key information in the letter was "coded" by Yu Jingdu with some unclear words, but because of the tacit understanding with him, Rong Zhuo still easily understood the letter.

Rong Zhuo thought that the person who delivered the letter was still waiting outside, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately rubbed his ink and wrote back a letter to Yu Jingdu.

After putting the letter back into the box and handing it to the person outside, Rong Zhuo came back and read the letter carefully again.

Yu Jingdu probably still had some concerns, he was quite restrained between the lines, and didn't write anything explicit.

But there are still many feelings in it that only Rong Zhuo can understand.

Rong Zhuo read the letter carefully several times, and finally burned it with some reluctance.

From the fact that Yu Jingdu did not dare to write the signature, he speculated that the other party's current situation should not be particularly optimistic.

So he didn't dare to keep the letter, for fear that if something went wrong in the future, it would cause trouble for Yu Jingdu.

But even though the letter was burned, Rong Zhuo found a vase to fill the red rose with water, and raised it seriously.

the other side.

Yu Jingdu went to the imperial study again after the morning court, and it was already afternoon when he returned to the palace.

Full of expectation, he opened the sandalwood box brought back by the spies, and took out Rong Zhuo's reply.

Unexpectedly, after he opened the letter, he saw that there was only one sentence in it: everything is fine.

Looking at the four words on the paper, Yu Jingdu vaguely remembered that this was the sentence he often wrote when he and Rong Zhuo corresponded last year.

He couldn't help but smiled wryly, is the little dandy trying to anger him on purpose?

Knowing that he was looking forward to it so hard, she only replied to him with such a sentence!

But at the same time, Yu Jingdu's heart was a little irritated, because Rong Zhuo's reply to a certain extent was like reminiscing the past with him in the distance.

The two seemed to travel back to the time when he was still Qingshi through this small sandalwood box.

After that day, Yu Jingdu would write a letter to Rong Zhuo every night, and let the spies send it out the next morning.

And the moment he looks forward to the most every day is to see Rong Zhuo's reply letter when he returns to the palace.

Rong Zhuo also seemed to be determined, only answering his four words every day.

But even so, Yu Jingdu still looks forward to it every day.

Soon, it was Yu Jingdu's birthday.

According to Rong Zhuo's original plan, the first night, he would go to the courtyard and wait for Yu Jingdu.

Because according to modern people's habit of celebrating birthdays, it is considered a birthday after the early morning.

So Rong Zhuo planned to give his gift to Yu Jingdu at this time.

But later, Yu Jingdu was trapped in the palace, so he couldn't implement this plan at all, so he had to give up for the time being.

Fortunately, there is still Duan Jiaming's relationship with Yu Jingdu. Today Duan Chengxing will take Duan Zheng to the palace to congratulate the king, and Rong Zhuo plans to go with the father and son, so that at least he can see Jingdu.

But what he didn't expect was that Rong Qinghuai also offered to go to the palace.The reason the other party told Rong Zhuo was that the father and son were granted the protection of the Banquet King in the palace, and now it is reasonable to take this opportunity to congratulate them.

Rong Zhuo felt that this argument was very reasonable, so he didn't think much about it.

What he didn't know was that Rong Qinghuai's trip this time was actually for him.

Rong Qinghuai expected that his stupid son would definitely take the opportunity to go to the palace, but Rong Zhuo followed Duan Chengxing, after all, it was a bit unfair.It would be better for him to take advantage of this excuse to go with Rong Zhuo, so that outsiders will not be suspicious.Although he is still not optimistic about the relationship between Rong Zhuo and Yu Jingdu, but at critical moments, he will still try his best to protect Rong Zhuo.

Besides, Yu Jingdu was indeed kind to the Rong family back then, so he wouldn't be wronged if he really came to give a congratulatory gift.

Today's Banquet Palace was extremely lively.

The emperor was afraid that the people in the palace would not be able to handle such a big scene, so he specially sent Fudu to the palace that day.

The two pairs of father and son from Duan Rong's family came to the palace together.

However, once the congratulatory gifts of the two families are recorded on the gift list, the painting style is a little different.

Fortunately, Rong Qinghuai didn't pay much attention to these things, when the palace servants who recorded the records cast a glance at him, he could say that his face didn't change, and he even put on a posture of doing nothing.

Rong Zhuo was even less embarrassed, he said in his heart that I prepared a gift for your lord, and your lord didn't have that luck himself, but it's not bad for others, poor Yu Jingdu still doesn't know what he missed.

Inside the bedroom.

Yu Jingdu stood by the window, tapping on the edge of the window anxiously with one hand.

"My lord." Li Feng hurried over, "Here we come."

"Really here?" Yu Jingdu was overjoyed.

"Well, Master Rong came with him, and even gave a congratulatory gift." Li Feng said.

Rong Qinghuai is no longer on duty in the court, but Li Feng's title has not been changed in time.

When Yu Jingdu heard that Rong Zhuo came with Rong Qinghuai, he was also relieved.

Before that, while he was looking forward to Rong Zhuo's arrival, he was also afraid of attracting the attention of others.

After all, he has always acted unfamiliar with Rong Zhuo in front of the emperor, and it stands to reason that the other party shouldn't come on such an occasion.But when Rong Zhuo came with Rong Qinghuai, things became more natural, no one would doubt that his father brought his own son to the door for a private meeting, at least the emperor would not think so.

"Wait for another stick of incense before going out," Yu Jingdu said.

"Your Highness, don't worry, isn't Eunuch Lai Fu also here? When His Highness should go out to say hello, he will naturally invite someone to invite you." Li Feng said.

Yu Jingdu snorted coldly, "In this king's own mansion, it's not so hard to be manipulated to death, don't worry."

"Yes." Hearing what he said, Li Feng agreed.

After waiting for a stick of incense, Yu Jingdu took Li Feng to the front hall.

At this time, the guests who were supposed to come had already arrived, so it was not unexpected for him to come out at this time.

When Yu Jingdu came over, he spotted Rong Zhuo in the crowd with a glance.

The young man wore a light blue robe today, and followed Rong Qinghuai, looking very docile.

However, Yu Jingdu's eyes did not stay on him, but quickly moved away naturally.

Yu Jingdu only said a few auspicious words to the crowd, and ordered them to open the banquet.

Everyone in the capital knew that he was cold-tempered, so they were not surprised by his attitude.

As for the people who came to celebrate their birthdays and say auspicious words, most of them were dealt with by the housekeeper and Laifu.

Li Feng looked at Lai Fu who responded well, and thought that this person's trip today was not in vain.

After all, the housekeepers in their house had never seen such a big scene. In previous years, when His Royal Highness Banquet King was not favored, how could he come to send congratulatory gifts on his birthday?

Not long after the banquet started, someone from the palace came to report that the fifth and eighth princes had arrived.

Yu Jingdu was a little surprised when he heard this, because the emperor had a banquet in the palace tonight, so the princes don't need to come to express their thanks, just go to the palace banquet.

As soon as the two entered the door, everyone saluted one after another.

The fifth prince hurriedly told everyone not to be too polite, and went straight to Yu Jingdu with the eighth prince in his arms.

"Third brother!" As soon as the little guy saw Yu Jingdu, he stretched out his hand for him to hug.

Yu Jingdu took him over, and the fifth prince also took the opportunity to salute him and say a few auspicious words.

Rong Zhuo sat at the banquet while eating the snacks in front of him, while secretly looking at the fifth prince.

This fifth prince looked to be sixteen or seventeen this year, and he didn't inherit the appearance of many emperors. When he stood with Yu Jingdu, it was almost impossible to tell that they were brothers.

But Rong Zhuo remembered that the person in the original book was quite responsible.

The fifth prince belongs to the kind of smart but unambitious person, knowing that he can't compete, so in the battle between the prince and the king of banquets, he has been trying to find ways to protect himself wisely.

Not everyone in this world wants to be an emperor.

Especially for someone like the fifth prince who is not a threat to others, he will be happy in his life as a prince.

"Why are you here?" Yu Jingdu asked the Fifth Prince.

"The eighth brother insisted on coming, but the emperor was worried, so he asked me to come with him."

Yu Jingdu nodded when he heard the words, and didn't say anything more.

The Eighth Prince seemed very happy to see so many people at the banquet today.

After staying in Jingdu's arms for a while, he couldn't sit still, and asked Yu Jingdu a few words with his ear.

Yu Jingdu warned him in a low voice, and then let him go.

Therefore, the Eighth Prince would grope here and there in the hall, and from time to time he would come to someone's table to stay for a while.

Because he was cute and had a good temper, many people at the banquet liked him very much, if not for his status as a prince, they probably couldn't help but start teasing him.

Later, the Eighth Prince wobbled around and ran to Rong Zhuo's side.

But he always remembered Yu Jingdu's words, so he didn't talk to Rong Zhuo after leaning over, just smiled at him and ran away again.

Looking at the little guy's appearance, Rong Zhuo wondered how could there be such a cute kid?

However, when everyone was unprepared, an accident happened suddenly.

The Eighth Prince was tired from playing, so he made some snacks from that table. The snacks were about the size of an apricot pit, and an adult could eat several in one bite.But the eighth prince was young, and he was panting after running for a while, so he accidentally choked after eating it, his little face turned red immediately, and tears came out.

Fortunately, there were palace people watching him all the time, so when he was choking, they found out immediately.

Someone hurriedly yelled to invite the imperial physician, but Yu Jingdu strode forward and anxiously stretched out his hand to pat the Eighth Prince's back.But he slapped him several times, but the Eighth Prince's condition didn't improve.

Rong Zhuo's thoughts changed sharply, and he remembered that when he was in school, he had heard a lecture on first aid knowledge, and there happened to be a link in it about the Heimlich first aid method.The teacher who gave the lecture was more careful, and he also specially introduced the children's Heimlich first aid method and several other related first aid operations to them.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince's little face was getting redder and redder, Rong Zhuo couldn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly got up and pulled him out of Yu Jingdu's arms.

Yu Jingdu was so anxious that his eyes were red. When he saw someone approaching him, he subconsciously wanted to protect the Eighth Prince, but he was stunned when he saw that it was Rong Zhuo.Rong Zhuo didn't have time to explain to him, and began to rescue the child while recalling the essentials of the Heimlich first aid method【Note 1】.

When everyone saw his move, they were quite surprised at first.

After a while, seeing the dim sum being spat out from the mouth of the Eighth Prince, Qiqi heaved a sigh of relief.

Yu Jingdu's heart almost rose to his throat, until he heard the eighth prince burst into tears, then his heart fell back to its original place.

And the Eighth Prince was also terribly frightened by this encounter, crying until his nose burst into tears, and he held Rong Zhuo without letting go.

Rong Zhuo was also in a cold sweat from fright, hugging the little guy and looking at Yu Jingdu, with an expression of not knowing what to do.

"Trouble... trouble young master Rong to hug him for a while, he was frightened." Yu Jingdu said.

Lai Fu at the side wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly said: "Why don't you take the Eighth Highness down to rest for a while, and let the imperial physician take a look when he arrives later."

"Yes, yes, rest for a while." The housekeeper said and led the way.

Seeing this, Rong Zhuo could only hug the eighth prince and follow the butler.

Yu Jingdu and the Fifth Prince also followed, while Lai Fu stayed in the front hall to clean up the mess.

The doctor in the palace has rushed over now.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince's cry was quite loud, he knew that the problem was not serious.

The little guy was terrified at the moment, and he didn't want others to approach him, he just hugged Rong Zhuo and didn't let go.

Seeing this, Yu Jingdu could only ask the doctor to wait in the side hall first.

He looked at Rong Zhuo, many thoughts flashed through his mind, but he knew that he had to calm down at this moment.

So he took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to temporarily get rid of the fear and fear in his heart just now.

"Fifth brother, help young master Rong to stay here with the eighth brother for a while, the king will go ahead and have a look. When the imperial doctor comes, be sure to ask him to give the eighth brother the pulse and see if it is necessary to prescribe a prescription for calming the nerves." .”

"Yes, third brother." The fifth prince said hurriedly.

After Yu Jingdu finished speaking, he walked to Rong Zhuo's side and reached out to touch the Eighth Prince's head.

Rong Zhuo and him looked at each other, neither of them spoke, but there were mixed feelings in each other's hearts.

Covered by his sleeves, Yu Jingdu squeezed Rong Zhuo's hand lightly, like some kind of silent comfort, and also like thanking him.

In Jingdu's heart, the Eighth Prince and Master Wuyun in Qingyin Temple are the only blood-related relatives he cares about in this world.If the Eighth Prince had an accident on his birthday, Yu Jingdu would never let it go in his life.

Fortunately, Rong Zhuo was just now, otherwise he really didn't dare to think about the consequences...

"Don't worry, I'll be back in a while." Yu Jingdu said.

It seemed to others that he was speaking to the Eighth Prince, but Rong Zhuo knew that he was also speaking to himself.

After saying that, Yu Jingdu got up and went out.

After being blown by the wind outside, he realized that he was already drenched in sweat.

He adjusted his mood and went to the front hall again, first told everyone that the Eighth Prince was fine, and then explained a few words to Rong Qinghuai, saying that the Eighth Prince was frightened and wanted Rong Zhuo to accompany him more.

Everyone heard the words and did not suspect him. After all, people are saved by Rong Zhuo, and it is only natural for the Eighth Prince to rely on him.

Yu Jingdu stayed in the front hall until the imperial physician came, and then he got up and left the table.

The imperial physician checked the eighth prince's condition and said that the problem was not serious.

"But the eighth brother has been hugging young master Rong and won't let go, is he overly frightened?" the fifth prince asked.

"His Highness is still young after all, and it is normal to rely on Young Master Rong after experiencing such a situation." The imperial doctor said: "Your Majesty, please give him a prescription for calming the nerves, but if it is convenient, it is best to let Young Master Rong take more care of him." Accompany His Highness the Eighth Highness, this will help His Highness recover emotionally."

The Fifth Prince looked at Rong Zhuo upon hearing the words, as if he was asking what he meant.

Rong Zhuo subconsciously looked at Yu Jingdu. Such a change happened today, and he still hasn't fully recovered from it.
