Leaning on the railing Jiangyue

Xu Fengjin laughed "hehe", pointed to the window and said, "I just came in, I told the prince not to answer, so I can only go over the window to coax you."

Zhao Yu said: "Why coax me?"

Xu Fengjin said, "Isn't the prince angry?"

Zhao Yu snorted and said, "You also know that I'm angry? You and I are in the same mind now, and you still want to hide something from me?" He walked back to the desk and wanted to continue painting, but he saw that he had drawn a fox just now. It disappeared, and I knew that Xu Fengjin must have hid it, so I had to pick up the brush to draw again. Xu Fengjin opened the door and brought in the food that was left in Cheng Qiao's hand, put it on the desk, and looked at Zhao Yu's painting with his chin painting.

He didn't know what to say about this matter, so he thought for a while and asked, "What is our mother's status in the palace?"

Zhao Yu said: "It is the head of the six palaces."

Xu Fengjin asked, "So no one can bully her?"

Zhao Yu said calmly, "To reach her position, it's just a short title."

Xu Fengjin stared at him for a while, hesitated to speak, Zhao Yu said: "You can ask whatever you want, this king is not like a princess, she has to hide everything."

Xu Fengjin blinked, immediately self-criticized, walked up to Zhao Yu and tilted his head with a shameless smile, quickly kissed him, and swore to God: "This time I was wrong, and I will never hide anything from Yu Ling in the future. " Then he dragged him to the side to sit down, took the food and put a spoonful of soup to his mouth, Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows and took a sip to save face.

Xu Fengjin pondered for a while before asking: "Why do I feel... the prince doesn't treat the concubine close?"

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Why don't you kiss?"

Xu Fengjin said: "It just feels like I'm not as close as the Sixth Prince who is one brother at a time."

Zhao Yudao: "It's really hard to get close. When I was young, my mother and concubine often stayed in the Buddhist hall and rarely showed up."

Xu Fengjin asked again: "Then our mother is so gentle, won't she be bullied in the deep palace?"

Zhao Yu shook his head: "I've never heard of her being wronged."

Xu Fengjin put down the spoon with an "oh" sound, and handed the items picked up in Concubine Chen's Palace to Zhao Yu, and he said, "I didn't intend to hide it from the lord, it's just that this matter is strange, and it has something to do with our mother. You are his own son, I was afraid that something would be wrong, so I wanted to keep it to myself first, who would have thought that your sharp eyes would see me hiding it."

Zhao Yu took the thing and saw clearly that it was an inconspicuous thin wooden sign with the words "Eastern Palace" engraved on it, obviously someone left it carelessly.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual on his face, Xu Fengjin said, "If we hadn't met that maid on the way, I wouldn't have paid attention to it, but I think it's too coincidental, I don't know if the crown prince has anything to do with our mother?"

Before Zhao Yu could speak, Cheng Qiao came to report in a hurry, saying that Feng Jing came to see him.Zhao Yu put the wooden sign on the table and said, "Let's talk when we come back." Then he went to the flower hall with Xu Fengjin.

Prime Minister Feng's name, Xu Fengjin, had been heard for a long time, and now he finally met. Feng Jing's official uniform was not changed, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was exhausted. Seeing Zhao and Xu enter the door, he bowed to salute.

Zhao Yu nodded, arranged for Cheng Qiao to watch tea, sat down and said, "Master Feng came so late, why is it?"

Feng Jing didn't have any extra nonsense, he lifted the hem of his official uniform and knelt on the ground, Zhao Yu skimmed off the tea foam, and looked at him, Feng Jing is the prime minister of the court, although he is old, his back is straight and proud, even if Zhao Yu is a The prince shouldn't have given such a big gift, Zhao Yu put down the tea bowl and said, "Master Feng, what do you mean?"

Feng Jing confronted Xu Fengjin, and first apologized for the ancient painting. Xu Fengjin didn't know how to make a decision, so he looked at Zhao Yu. I understand, of course I won't say anything nonsense.

Zhao Yu gestured with his eyes, but did not let him respond, but asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Feng?"

Feng Jing spoke, slightly hoarsely: "Prince...he, I think he is crazy."

Zhao Yu asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Feng Jingdao: "I have been an official for decades, I have experienced countless disputes in the court, and I have seen all the vicissitudes of life. I also know that the world is like chess, and the game changes. I was an enemy with the prince before. It is because of your different positions. To protect the crown prince as he ascends the throne, we must remove all obstacles for him, I think the prince is reasonable and understands that this is normal."

Zhao Yu nodded: "Aside from the confrontation between you and me, Mr. Feng has provided a lot of benefits for the people."

Feng Jing said again: "But the prince doesn't understand. He was grounded a few days ago, his hands and feet were messed up, he was depressed all day long, and he was even more dissolute. The old man knows that the prince has no intention of taking the throne. I came to personally apologize to him about the princess. Please stop the prince and let the prince calm down."

Zhao Yu lowered his eyes, and now he no longer pretends to be stupid, and said with a warm smile: "The crown prince is like this, and I am indeed not happy to see it. Mr. Feng is old, so he came to apologize in person, and the king should be the current princess. , but my concubine has thin skin and tender flesh, her skin is ripped apart on more than a dozen boards, and she can’t move around for a few days, if he doesn’t want to accept it, this king can’t make things difficult for him.”

Xu Fengjin sat on the side and recalled the beating that day, the pain was a little bit, but not to the point of being bruised, and Zhao Yu's exaggeration seemed to have failed to achieve his goal, so he twisted on the chair and said softly: "Now I can I can’t sit for a long time, so it hurts a bit.” He said with fear on his face, “The beating was so bloody and bloody last time, Yu Ling, will my ass be scarred?” I frightened myself I want to cry: "What if I have a scar on my buttocks, how will I see people in the future..."

Zhao Yu just took a sip of tea and almost spit it out, he coughed lightly and hurriedly said: "Princess, don't worry, if you keep it for a while, there will be no scars."

Xu Fengjin said: "Really? Yu Ling won't dislike my butt scar?"

Zhao Yu hurriedly comforted him: "No, no, no."

The two of them sang together, and Feng Jing also knew that he didn't get to the bottom of his words. He knew what Zhao Yu wanted to know, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "The prince is looking for that person. He must be in the harem. His Majesty loved him for a long time. In addition, I have been jealous of many concubines with children. I think the prince has already investigated it clearly over the years. The most suspicious person should be Concubine Mei. But Concubine Mei has gone, so the grievances and grievances should fade away. No matter what the prince says, it is you Elder brother...all things are done by his mother and concubine, the prince is a sensible person, and he should not take revenge on him."

Zhao Yu got up, walked up to Feng Jing, and asked with downcast eyes: "Master Feng also thinks this is the work of Concubine Mei Gui?"

Feng Jingdao: "All the evidence back then pointed to her, so there should be no one else." Then he raised his eyes to Zhao Yu and said meaningfully: "My lord, forgive me for saying a word, since some things have come to an end, it's okay for the lord to pursue it further. It's better to live in a muddle than to be vain and sad."

Zhao Yu waited for him to finish, nodded his head and said: "Master Feng, please start, I only sent people to read a few books on the Prince's side, and I will not move them again in the future, but his style of life has been bad these years, and I think it's a wall that everyone pushes." , Mr. Feng just coming to me is not of much use, let's find another way."

Feng Jing also knew that Zhao Yu was not alone, so he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, thanked him, and left the palace.

After sending Feng Jing away, Zhao and Xu went back to the study. Zhao Yu picked up the wooden plaque of the Eastern Palace and looked at it carefully. Finally, he closed his eyes and hugged Xu Fengjin, who was standing beside him, and couldn't get bored. Voice.

Xu Fengjin obviously sensed that he was uneasy, stroked his back and asked, "Yu Ling? What's wrong?"

Zhao Yu pondered for a long time before saying: "Concubine Mei Gui died of illness suddenly. There is a lot of evidence pointing to her in the accident when I was a child."

Xu Fengjin said, "Isn't that her?"

Zhao Yu shook his head: "No. After she went, many clues were broken, but I still found some problems."

Xu Fengjin said, "What's the problem?"

Zhao Yu hugged Xu Fengjin tightly, without showing too much emotion, and said indifferently: "I saw the same East Palace sign in the concubine's palace that year. After that, I didn't dare to check it again. But I want to know again, I can only wait for someone to tell me someday, Feng actually mentioned it to me twice, but it made me a little confused, I have also checked many people over the years... But it deviates from the original If there are no clues, how can we find the truth.”

"Yu Ling means..." Xu Fengjin reflected and shook his head quickly: "No, no, you must be thinking too much, old thief Feng must be saying this to help the crown prince's mother get rid of the crime , definitely not like yours."

Zhao Yu hid his head in his neck and mumbled, "She is my concubine mother, I don't want to have any doubts about her."

Xu Fengjin didn't even dare to think how desperate it would be if his mother killed him, he shook his head anxiously and said, "Absolutely not, our mother is so kind, and besides, you return her own son, I'm sure you It's just nonsense, if you're okay, think about me more? Do you think about my buttocks leaving scars?"
