Tianhuang nobleman

The emperor decided to send troops, and naturally the ministers couldn't leave the palace, so Qi Xiao withdrew while everyone in the pavilion was discussing in low voices where the troops would be most suitable.

Jiang Deqing has been guarding outside the hall. When he saw Qi Xiao coming out, he quickly greeted him. Qi Xiao made a gesture to be convenient, and helped Jiang Deqing go to a place where there was no one. Gong sent a letter to Bairen, telling him...the emperor is going to send troops, I will try my best to delay the food supply, but it will be three days at most, after three days...I will try to find a way to let him protect himself first, and be careful. "

Jiang Deqing has been immersed in the palace for many years, so he naturally knows the pros and cons of it. Hearing this, he felt a thump in his heart, looked around and said in a low voice, "No... there is no way out?"

Qi Xiao's eyes were full of hostility, Jiang Deqing knew it in his heart, shook his head and said in a low voice: "This servant knows, but now we have to avoid suspicion. If the emperor finds out that His Highness leaked the news... the consequences will be disastrous, and this servant will ask Fuzi to find him soon." Xixiang, there is a big funeral in the Lingnan Palace, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely send someone to deliver the funeral things, let Xixiang tell it, and His Highness can rest assured."

"Your Highness..." After all, Jiang Deqing couldn't bear to take care of the person who has been taking care of him for more than a year, and said in a low voice, "It's really... there is no other way? If we send troops, there will be no hope for the son to succeed to the throne, and there are thousands of people in Lingnan. Li Min also..."

Qi Xiao pursed his thin lips tightly, he naturally knew this!But what can he do?Wen Yu rebelled, could it be possible that he should rebel too?What if it's the other way around?Are you sure you can win?No!If not, what can I do if I show off for a while?It's just filling in and sending more people in!

Qi Xiao's eyes turned red. At this time, no one is more uncomfortable than him!He understands Wen Yu's matter, others don't know it, he planted the cause of this disaster, but... the result is retribution on Bai Ren, Qi Xiao closed his eyes, karma, really unhappy .

Qi Xiao took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Go and explain, other things..." Qi Xiao paused for a while and turned back to the main hall.

Jiang Deqing exclaimed, stomped away.

In the Lingnan Palace, Shunzi was leaning on the porch outside the hallway, looking at Cen Chaoge coldly. Qi Xiao had explained before that he would rather kill ten thousand by mistake than let one go. Although Shunzi had never met this person, he did not know Why, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't like him, and he was eager to try with the dagger in his arms. If he hadn't seen that Bai Ren valued him very much, Shunzi would have done it long ago.

Bai Ren was writing a secret letter inside, and Cen Chaoge came out because he could not guard inside. He glanced at Shunzi, frowned and said, "Aren't you serving outside?"

Shunzi was dressed in a bunt, and he looked no different from an ordinary coachman. He had seen Cen Chaoge's eyes too much, and he didn't care. , Let me guard Shizi all the time, now seventeen steps between me and Shizi is the limit."

Cen Chaoge frowned, and when he was about to teach a few words, he suddenly remembered the scene he saw last year when he stumbled into the study room of the Prince's mansion by mistake, and he understood instantly in his heart, and said tremblingly, "You are...you belong to the Prince? "

Shunzi raised his eyebrows, took a look inside, thought it was Bai Ren talking to him, so he didn't care, and nodded, who knew that Cen Chaoge became more and more distraught after hearing this, and Shunzi despised such irresponsible people the most. The frail scholar, remembering what he had just heard, that this man escaped by abandoning his old father, felt even more disgusted, he leaned in, leaned against the door frame with arms crossed, still staring at Bai Ren, no longer ignore him.

Cen Chaoge forgot about the days of running around, and now the person inside is no longer his childhood sweetheart, but the crown prince's pet, Cen Chaoge's face turned pale, and he sighed endlessly, Bai Ren was afraid that he had to rely on the prince for his livelihood. If so, maybe he can understand that he had no choice but to leave him.

Here, when Cen Chaoge was full of worries and thoughts, it was rumored that someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had arrived. Hearing this, Shunzi took a few steps forward. He knew that Xixiang belonged to him, but Bai Ren didn't know, Shunzi was afraid of delaying the matter, Turning his head and entering the inner hall, he said in a low voice: "My son...someone from the House of Internal Affairs is here, my son might as well go and see him."

Shunzi lowered his voice: "It's not convenient for the prince to come here, maybe he will ask someone to bring in the news."

Bai Ren nodded, and before the ink was dry, he folded the letter paper on the desk. Before he could find the envelope, Bai Ren picked up the lamp and lighted some wax oil on the folded letter paper to make a wax seal. Handed it to Shunzi, said in a low voice, "Look for a chance, and send this to the crown prince."

Shunzi nodded, took the letter and put it in her arms.

Bai Ren followed Shunzi out of the hall, glanced at Cen Chaoge and said, "Many people here have seen you... Be careful yourself, don't show up, just stay inside."

Cen Chaoge nodded, Bairen took the white cloth Shunzi handed over and tied it between his forehead, and went out all the way.

It was almost dawn outside, and the maids and servants in the yard were busy covering white cloths and tying black damasks. In the main courtyard, Xi Xiang was talking to the old housekeeper of the palace. ..."

Bairen waved his hands, Xixiang got up, handed a black letter paper to Bairen, and sighed in a deep voice: "The emperor heard that the prince was mourned, and his heart was crying, and he was very sad. The special servant sent some funeral ceremony, the emperor I advise the son to mourn, not to cry and hurt the body, and let the servants ask if there is anything missing in the house? The son does not need to talk heresy, just say it."

Just as Bai Ren was about to say no, he felt someone touch his wrist. Bai Ren turned his head and glanced at Shunzi, and then said, "Your Majesty Long En, I am terrified. Now that my father has gone, Bai Ren only feels that the sky is falling." The ground is sinking, and I don’t know how to cook anymore..."

Xixiang sighed: "If your son doesn't dislike it, why don't you let the servant see how the preparations are going, the servant has also taken care of several weddings and funerals in the palace, I don't dare to say anything else, the one or two preparations can still help. "

Bai Ren lowered his eyes: "Since that's the case, thank you sir."

A group of people walked in, and after entering the inner courtyard, Shunzi closed the courtyard door with his backhand, and said in a deep voice, "There are no outsiders inside, father-in-law, how is the palace now?"

Bai Ren was stunned: "My lord is..."

Xixiang changed his alienated look in front of others, bowed to the ground, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, don't be surprised, this servant is Jiang Deqing's father-in-law's apprentice, and his life is so low that he almost couldn't survive in the palace. Empress Xiaoxian and Master are today. Back then when the mountains collapsed and the government changed the world, the Master was afraid of delaying the slave’s future, so he didn’t communicate with the slave in front of people. But the slave’s heart is always tied to the prince, so the prince doesn’t have to have the slightest doubt , if you have anything to do, just tell the servants."

Bairen turned to look at Shunzi, Shunzi nodded, Bairen felt relieved, and hurriedly said to Shunzi, "Give me that letter..."

Shunzi took out the letter and handed it to Bairen, who quickly stuffed it into Xixiang's hand, lowered his voice and said seriously: "Please trouble me...Take this letter to the prince, you must be fast, you must be fast!"

Xixiang quickly agreed, putting it in his arms and saying: "The crown prince asked me to come over and tell the son, the son..."

Xixiang sighed: "The emperor has decided to send troops, the prince has tried his best, but... don't worry, the prince said, he will delay at least three days for food and grass. During the three days, the prince will definitely think of a countermeasure. Don't worry, my lord."

As expected, Bai Ren took a deep breath, shook his head and said: "Don't feel sorry for me, the Emperor wants to send troops, His Highness can't stop it... It's okay, you just need to deliver the letter to me."

Xixiang nodded, hesitated and said: "Also... Your Highness is deploying people over here. Since the emperor has decided to send troops, he will definitely take care of the prince, but I don't know when they will come. I'm afraid it will be the day before sending troops." Well, Your Highness said, if it is under house arrest, then it is fine. If the emperor lets the son enter the palace, then the son must try to delay, pretend to be sick or pretend to be crazy, it doesn't matter what he pretends to be, the only thing is, no matter what. When the crown prince comes over, if they are tough, the prince will also be tough, but if something goes wrong, the prince will have his own words to return to the emperor, and the prince can only protect himself."

Bai Ren's eyes turned red when he heard the words, he nodded and said hoarsely: "Tell the prince... let him rest assured."

Xixiang nodded, he was also very panicked, thought for a while and talked miscellaneously for a long time, when he was about to leave, he heard someone knocking on the door, Xixiang was startled, and said in a low voice: "Who? "

Bai Ren let out a "shh", and went to open the door, only to see Cen Chaoge outside carrying a red lacquer food box, he said in a low voice: "You haven't had a drop of water all night, you can't take it anymore, drink some porridge..."

Bai Ren's tense heart suddenly relaxed, he didn't have the heart to drink porridge, shook his head, turned his head and said: "It's nothing, this is my old department in Lingnan, it's okay."

When Xixiang came out, he felt a thump when he saw Cen Chaoge, why did he come back? !

Cen Chaoge was also stunned when he saw Xixiang, and when Xixiang was about to start a conversation, Shunzi snatched it up first, unsheathed the dagger in his arms, and laid it directly in front of Cen Chaoge's neck, Shunzi's eyes were full of murderous looks, and he said coldly: "Send porridge? I'm afraid it's an eavesdropping. This matter is related to the prince's wealth and life. I have to guard against it. Anyway, this person has already sent the seal. It is useless. Why don't I end him to avoid trouble in the future. "

Cen Chaoge lost his voice: "Don't... I didn't hear anything! I didn't! I..."

Bai Ren hurriedly stopped him: "No... his father died for me, he is the only man in the Cen family, we can't let him have any more accidents!"

Shunzi was full of anger, and pushed the person away with a cold snort. Cen Chaoge was covered in cold sweat from fright. Chong understood his sanity, his mind turned like a flash, and he understood in an instant, pointing at Xixiang and shaking his voice: "You...you are the prince's man, you...back then, back then..."

Xixiang was shocked and regretted being careless, but how did he know that this Cen Chaoge would come back again!

Bai Ren looked at Cen Chaoge puzzled, and Cen Chaoge hissed: "It was him back then! He lured me back to Lingnan! He said there was a way... Later, it was the crown prince who took his money and sent me there Return the silver ticket! Let me lose my face in front of you! This is simply a play by the prince, the prince! The prince...he already knew that I was with you, and he deliberately lured me back to Lingnan in order to snatch you away! !"
