Crown Prince's Counterattack

"Master Zhao, please stay safe!"

A familiar voice came, and the black gauze tied to Zhao Pu's eyes was loosened. The bright light in the room stimulated him so much that he couldn't open his eyes. It took him a while to recover, and he could see the face of the person in front of him clearly.

"It turned out to be His Highness, I don't know what you mean by that?"

Zhao Pu remained calm, looking at his hands and feet tied with thick ropes.

"Untie Mr. Zhao quickly, Mr. Zhao, please forgive me, my guards are too incompetent."

Sima Yi smiled, unable to tell whether it was true or false.

"Your Highness is serious. I don't know if Your Highness "invited" the humble minister here late at night. I don't know what advice you can give me?"

Zhao Pu loosened his stiff hands and feet, and took a look at the surrounding environment. He didn't think that Sima Yi was looking for him for a drink and a heart-to-heart talk this evening. Maybe he wanted to win him over. After all, the situation of the Second Prince is not very good. Presumably, I also hope that I can take refuge in his side, but this way of wooing is a bit unpleasant, not to mention the current situation, the risk of choosing this His Highness is too great, as for the others, Zhao Pu thought He immediately denied the possibility that he was most worried about. Now that Aunt Xia is dead, he is the only one who knows that the thing is in his hands.Zhao Pu thought in his heart that he was unlucky. Judging from the current situation, it seems that he will not be able to see the prince today.

"I didn't see the teacher, but I was a little curious about the important things for adults to go out late at night?"

"... I see that the moonlight is good tonight, so I just went out to enjoy the moon. On the contrary, why did His Highness send someone to guard outside my mansion?"

Zhao Pu's face didn't change, but he didn't forget to turn Sima Yi's army. This group of people guarded outside the official's mansion, no matter how you look at it, they have some ulterior motives...

Sima Yi glanced at Zhao Pu with a half-smile, and he didn't look confused because of Zhao Pu's questioning.

"Master Zhao misunderstood, why would I send someone to monitor your house? I also think the moonlight is good tonight. When I went out to enjoy the moon, I happened to meet Master Zhao, so I invited you here. Don't worry about it, sir." !"

"..."

Zhao Pu looked at Sima Yi helplessly, what else could he say, the so-called shameless person is invincible, he made up a reason himself, and others can do the same.

The small victory made Sima Yi feel better, but he didn't forget the business.

"I wonder if Mr. Zhao knows this woman?"

Sima Yi took the portrait he had prepared long ago from the attendant, showed it in front of Zhao Pu's eyes, and then carefully observed the changes in his expression towards me.

"never seen"

Zhao Pu looked at him for a few times, his expression was calm, and his tone was steady, as if this person was a total stranger to him. Only he himself understood his beating heart and the cold sweat on his back at the moment.

"Oh, that's really weird..."

Sima Yi put away the picture scroll, and there was no trace of loss or regret on his face. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he might have been fooled by Zhao Pu's flawless performance. It's a pity that there was no if, and the more Zhao Pu concealed it, It also shows that the inside story here is very important.He received the news that Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi had sent many people to find this woman. Zhao Guangyi even dispatched an army to search the entire Kaifeng City, indicating that this woman carried a big secret. , The forces on both sides did not stop their movements, as if they were looking for something, Sima Yi understood that what was important was not the woman, but what was in that woman.Since Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi were still looking for it, it meant that the thing was still in an unknown place, Sima Yi immediately thought of Zhao Pu, because he was the last person that woman came into contact with before she died.

"Since I have never seen it before, how did I see the two of you talking happily in the carriage? You said that I was wrong, or that you deliberately deceived me. Should Mr. Zhao give me an explanation?"

The gentle smile on Sima Yi's face gradually faded, his tone became colder and colder, and Zhao Pu's face became paler.

He actually knew it!

He got it!

This sentence kept echoing in Zhao Pu's mind. The secret he thought would never be known had been exposed to the air at the very beginning, but he still had a little luck at the moment. After all, this matter is considered a taboo, the second prince Don't necessarily know what happened back then.

"This woman is an old friend of Weichen. When we met occasionally, we just exchanged a few words. You know that she committed a crime recently. I didn't want to cause trouble, so I kept it a secret. I hope His Highness will forgive Weichen's untrue words."

Zhao Pu suppressed the panic in his heart and made himself look calm.

Seeing that Zhao Pu is still stubborn and still making up stories that even he himself doesn't believe, Sima Yi laughed back angrily.

"Lord Zhao really thinks I'm being fooled, hehehe...I advise you to give me what that woman gave you earlier, otherwise..."

"I don't understand what His Highness is talking about!"

Zhao Pu resolutely vetoed it, and sighed inwardly. It seems that the second prince may know something, but it is impossible for him to hand it over easily.

"Hehe... It seems that Mr. Zhao will not cry when he sees the coffin. I heard that the father and the third uncle are looking for such things. Mr. Zhao wants to go to the third uncle tonight. Let the emperor know about it, what kind of result you said you will have, I am very curious..."

Zhao Pu really panicked now, things in his hands are nothing, but if His Majesty knows that he wants to take such things to surrender to the third prince, then there is really no way out.This kind of thing is especially important to His Majesty, or to the Third Prince. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Zhao Guangyi. It is far more exciting to get a reward from the Dragon's work than to offer it to His Majesty. This is an adventure, Zhao Pu. The gamble that he thought he would definitely win, but now it has become a sharp sword hanging over his head, leaving him dead without a place to die.No matter what happens in the future, Zhao Pu only knows that His Majesty is the one who can decide his life and death. This time, he made the wrong choice...

"Wei Chen understands..."

Zhao Pu's voice was depressingly hoarse, his eyes dimmed, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Master Zhao is indeed a smart person, and he will still have a lot to rely on in the future. I may not be unable to give you what you want in the future."

The goal was achieved, Sima Yi's expression quickly warmed up, he slapped someone, and he still didn't forget to give someone a sweet date.What he got this time is not just that kind of thing, it also means that with this reason, Master Zhao Pu has to choose to stand by him, so Sima Yi thought about it, maybe going out for a walk occasionally can gain a lot thing.

"Wei Chen wrote His Highness"

Zhao Puqiang had a smile on his face, what else could he say, he didn't know if he could eat the pancake that Sima Yi drew for him, and it was a good result to be able to protect himself.With the means of this Highness, there may be a chance to turn things around, and now Zhao Pu can only comfort himself in this way.

#****************

"Has anyone arrived?"

Zhao Guangyi put down the teacup in his hand, subconsciously turned the finger on his left hand with his right hand.

"Reporting to the prince, there is no news yet"

The old butler sent someone to ask, and only got this news.

"Send someone to see"

Zhao Guangyi's face darkened, and his eyes showed a bit of displeasure, but he still endured it. He believed that no one had the courage to make him wait for nothing.

The half-injection time passed, and the people who went out to inquire about the situation also returned.

"You said you didn't see Zhao Pu's carriage?"

Zhao Guangyi was a little surprised. Although there was a distance between the Zhao Mansion and the Wang Mansion, such a long time was enough to go back and forth. Since Zhao Pu had agreed on a time and handed over the greeting card, he would definitely not make such a mistake.

"My lord, did something happen?"

The old butler thought about it carefully, and only thought of this possibility.

"Impossible"

Zhao Guangyi's eyes flickered slightly, he was afraid that something happened on the road, or someone didn't want Zhao Pu to come to see him.

Regarding Zhao Pu's secret appointment, and it was so late at night, there must be an extremely secret matter to discuss with him. Of course, he was willing to accept the olive branch thrown by an important minister, but the result was a bit unexpected. Waited for a long time.

"Do you think that thing is in Zhao Pu's place?"

After thinking about it, Zhao Guangyi also felt that there might not be such a possibility. You must know that Zhao Pu wrote it himself. Since his mother allowed him to participate, it can be seen that he also has great trust in him, so this thing may be in his hands. I have it in my hand, and he came to see me, which is probably the reason.

"What does the prince mean?!"

The old housekeeper was also surprised.

"Hurry up and send people out, and find them no matter what!"

Zhao Guangyi stood up suddenly, looked up at the sky, thought of this possibility, he couldn't calm down, and hurriedly told the housekeeper.

Sima Yi ordered all the servants in the room to stand guard outside the door, lit up all the candlesticks in the room, spread out the things in his hands, and as soon as he got the news from Zhao Pu, he quickly took out the things .

After reading it, Sima Yi was shocked, flustered, and unbelievable... All kinds of complicated emotions were intertwined, and at the end he let out a long sigh of relief.He thought he already knew the reason why Zhao Kuangyin was so afraid of Zhao Guangyi. It was really worthwhile for him to work so hard to get such a thing. This was God helping him. He thought he had found a breakthrough.

After a long time, Sima Yi calmed down from the excitement and carefully put away his things.Zhao Pu didn't go to see him in time, I'm afraid Zhao Guangyi might have already guessed something at this time, as for Zhao Pu's tone of voice, Sima Yi really didn't have much trust, so where did such things go...
