Gao Chi of the Ming River

On the second day of Qixi Festival, the Palace of King Yan was oppressed, servants and maidservants came and went in a hurry, looking terrified.

In the Songzhu Courtyard, in Zhu Di's bedroom, Xu's handkerchief was tightly squeezed, anxiously staring at the unconscious child on the bed.

The child's once rosy, white and tender cheeks were now pale, and his eyes were closed tightly.

Outside the room, Zhu Di stared sullenly at the court lady and middle-aged eunuch kneeling in front of him, and said in a low voice, with an extremely calm voice, "Please serve the princess back to Beijing immediately. If my father asks, please tell my father." Your Majesty, Prince Yan's mansion is too small to accommodate the big Buddha Princess!"

As soon as Zhu Di said this, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng behind Zhu Di all changed their expressions, while the foster maid and the middle-aged eunuch couldn't help shaking.

tell? !Prince Yan's Mansion is too small? !The prince's words can be regarded as treasonous.

The middle-aged eunuch was about to speak hastily, but the grooming maid was the first to speak, with a serious expression on her face, "I will obey the prince's order, and I will serve the princess back." After finishing speaking, she tugged at the sleeve of the eunuch who was a little dazed.

Zhu Di glanced at the grooming maid indifferently, snorted coldly, turned around and stepped into the room with a flick of his sleeves.

Zhang Yuzhu looked at each other, bowed his head and stood respectfully outside.

After the nurturing maid saluted respectfully, she turned around and walked out of the Songzhu courtyard with a solemn face.

The middle-aged eunuch followed behind the nurturing maid, walked quickly a few steps, stopped in front of the nurturing maid, and asked angrily, "Mother, how can you just agree like this? The princess doesn't want to go back, so if you agree like this, after you go back How to tell the princess? And this matter... the prince is angry with the princess now, we should explain it on behalf of the princess, why don't you say anything?"

The nurturing maid looked serious, stared at the middle-aged eunuch, and said, "Fang Gonggong, I saw it with my own eyes. The princess forcibly snatched the son's jade pendant and threw it on the tree. Now the son fell from the tree and fell unconscious. The princess But he is not even willing to apologize in front of the prince and concubine! This matter... How do you ask me to explain to the princess? Most importantly, Eunuch Fang, you have also seen that since the princess came to Peiping, all kinds of behaviors are comparable to those of the princess. The capital is even more absurd. If the princess stays in Beiping again, if something happens in the future, will you take the responsibility or I will take it? It is better to ask the princess to return to the capital now, and tell the emperor all about the princess in Beiping. The emperor will deal with it!"

Eunuch Fang was stunned, then smiled wryly, "Mammy is more thoughtful." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Mammy, tell me, is the princess really crazy?"

The nurturing maid replied in a low voice, "In my opinion, the princess is probably possessed by a demon."

Eunuch Fang nodded thoughtfully, and then said in a low voice, "If the princess is possessed by a demon, then there is nothing we can do about it..."

The nurturing maid was startled, and then looked at Eunuch Fang thoughtfully. Seeing Eunuch Fang's meaningful expression, she nodded solemnly and said, "Of course, I believe the emperor will understand this kind of thing..."

After all, the two looked at each other and smiled, then walked away quickly.

After the two left, a servant appeared and walked quickly towards Songzhuyuan.

At this moment, in Zhu Di's dormitory in Songzhu Courtyard, Zhu Di was standing by the bed, quietly staring at the still unconscious child.

Mrs. Xu wiped the tears from her face, looked up at Zhu Di with a gloomy expression, and asked respectfully in a low voice, "My lord...is this okay? After all, the princess..."

Zhu Di still stared at the child quietly, and when he heard Xu's question, he said lightly, "You don't have to worry about this matter."

When he heard the noise from the window sill, Zhu Di turned his head and walked over. Outside the window sill, the servant lowered his head, cupped his hands respectfully, and said in a low voice, "Nurse and Eunuch Fang have decided to invite the princess back to the capital, and will send her back to Beijing." Report the princess's obsession to the emperor."

A cold light flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, and he whispered, "Very good."

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal the servant to step back, turned around and walked back to the bed, Xu seemed to have not seen the conversation between the servant and Zhu Di, and still just stared at the child on the bed anxiously.

"Go back and take care of Xu'er and Sui'er." Zhu Di said calmly, "It's enough to have this king here."

Mrs. Xu was a little hesitant and reluctant, but seeing Zhu Di's gloomy and unpredictable expression, she got up and saluted respectfully before leaving.

After Mrs. Xu left, Zhu Di sat by the bed, gently stroking the child's pale face with his fingers, feeling unbearable pain in his heart, and the anger and violence that he was trying to suppress.

He shouldn't have let this kid go last night!

Zhang Yu came in quietly and reported in a low voice, "My lord, Master Daoyan is here."

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes, his expression turned colder, and his voice was full of suppressed anger, "Good time!"

Dao Yan saluted respectfully after entering the door, his expression was very calm, "The poor monk has seen the prince."

"Dao Yan, you came up with a good idea!" Zhu Di scolded in a low voice, "Chi'er is unconscious now! This is the good idea you said!?"

Dao Yan clasped his hands together and saluted calmly, "My lord, don't worry, as far as the poor monk knows, when the son fell, the lord arrived in time and rescued the son. The son should be fine now, and the poor monk observed the son last night. Astronomical phenomena, the bloody disaster of the son has passed."

Zhu Di sneered, "Daoyan, according to what you said, it's nothing serious that Chi'er is unconscious now?! Daoyan! I want my son to be safe and sound, not nothing serious!" At the end , Zhu Di couldn't help but roared in a low voice.

Dao Yan still looked calm, "My lord... those who achieve great things will inevitably sacrifice..."

"Enough!" Zhu Di waved his hand impatiently, "Daoyan! Listen to me clearly! From now on, you are not allowed to tell Chi'er a single word about those bad things! If there is a second such thing! You Just get the hell out of Prince Yan's mansion!"

Dao Yan frowned, but seeing Zhu Di's slightly tired and anxious expression, he felt a little relieved. It seems that the prince attaches great importance to the son, so that's good... Then thinking about it, the son is only 7 years old now, and the future will be long, so he respectfully Should be next.

Zhu Di looked at Dao Yan's response, then changed the subject, and said gloomily, "The princess will be 'invited' back to the capital today."

Dao Yan nodded slightly, "My lord, from this point of view, the strategy you and I have discussed has begun to work. According to the news from the capital, the emperor is quite angry with Princess Anping's actions recently. It is estimated that the emperor will There is a decree issued to appease the prince."

Zhu Di just smiled coldly and didn't answer.

After a pause, Dao Yan was a little confused, "The poor monk has been wondering about one thing. Why is Princess Anping so sure that you will covet the throne, my lord?"

Zhu Di also frowned, "Maybe she took advantage of the prince or someone else to frame me?"

Dao Yan shook his head slightly, very puzzled, "My lord led the fiefdom in Beiping and stationed in Beiping, the crown prince is still healthy now, my lord and Princess Anping have never been close, and my confidants are loyal to my lord, why is she so sure? "

Zhu Di sneered, "The most important thing is not how she found out, but that the emperor believed him!"

Dao Yan was silent, this is true, if the emperor doesn't believe it, then no matter what this Princess Anping does is useless, but if the emperor believes, then no matter what the prince says, it will be useless.That's why... I had to come up with such a plan, let the seven-year-old son who is the least suspicious be used as an introduction, and let the people around the princess believe that the princess has gone crazy...

Thinking of the son, Dao Yan was a little confused, "My lord... I heard that the son fell to get the jade pendant thrown by the princess on the tree?"

When this matter was mentioned, Zhu Di's expression became gloomy again, "That's right."

"My son...why don't you ask the servants to get it?" Dao Yan was puzzled.A person as smart as Shizi wouldn't have thought of this, right?

Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't thought about this...

"It seems that the jade pendant that the prince wants to pick should be very important to the prince." Dao Yan smiled, "Only for very important things, the prince will forget other ways to get the jade pendant in a moment of anxiety..."

Zhu Di was startled, thinking of the unicorn jade pendant that the boy was holding tightly in his hand last night when he rushed over to hug him.Zhu Di felt a little warm and a little distressed in his heart.

Zhu Di and Dao Yan had a careful discussion about the next thing, and Dao Yan respectfully bowed and resigned.

When Daoyan left, he saw Zhu Di turned around and hurried into the back room, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the prince really loves his son.

********

When Zhu Gaochi woke up, his mind was still a little confused, and he heard a joyous low cry, "Chi'er!"

Zhu Gaochi looked blankly, and saw his father's tired and surprised face, huh?Dad?Why did dad grow a beard?

"Chi'er! How do you feel? Is there any other discomfort?" Zhu Di hurriedly leaned over and touched Zhu Gaochi's face, worried in his heart, why is this kid so stupid?

Zhu Gaochi stared blankly at his father, couldn't help stretching out his chubby hand, touched Zhu Di's face, and asked in confusion, "Father...why do you grow a beard?"

Zhu Di's heart froze, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "What do you think?!"

He didn't dare to sleep all night because of this kid. He was worried, angry and anxious. Can he get angry and not grow a beard? !

Zhu Gaochi's mind gradually cleared up. Seeing his father's tired face, he stared at him angrily at this moment, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly sat up, and Zhu Di hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Zhu Gaochi to sit up.

After Zhu Gaochi sat upright, he said seriously, "My son is not filial, and my father is worried."

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi's still pale face, his heart softened, he patted Zhu Gaochi's head, and reprimanded him with a straight face, "I know you made Dad worry?! Huh?! You still drove Agui away?! "While talking, Zhu Di couldn't help getting angry, and stared angrily, "Who do you think you are!? So brave!?"

"Father... I didn't try to do it..." Zhu Gaochi replied in a low voice.

Zhu Di squinted his eyes, but still couldn't help pinching Zhu Gaochi's tender cheeks with his fingers, and smiled back with anger, but the smile was gloomy, "What did you say?!"

"Father... I was wrong!"

Only then did Zhu Di snort coldly, let go of his hand, saw that the place he pinched was a little red, and his little face was even paler, his heart ached, he couldn't help stretching out his hands, and hugged Zhu Gaochi into his arms, tightly Holding her in his arms, the stinging and empty heart eased a little, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Chi'er... don't let dad worry about it anymore."

Zhu Gaochi leaned in his father's warm arms, his heart was warm, thinking that his father really loved him, and he didn't care about his father's problems on weekdays, but he was still embarrassed that he was not It's really a seven-year-old child, being hugged so tightly by his father, he couldn't help but blush.

But he still replied in a low voice, "My son won't be anymore."

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's answer in a low voice, Zhu Di lowered his head to see Zhu Gaochi's embarrassing blushing face, he felt a little satisfied, remembering Daoyan's question of why this kid didn't ask his servants to take the jade pendant, Zhu Di smiled lowly, "I said Chi'er Ah, did you eat too much braised pork and turned into a meat bun?" Zhu Di poked Zhu Gaochi's belly and mocked, "You are a dignified son of the royal family, and you actually climbed a tree by yourself? Huh?"

Zhu Gaochi's body froze, and suddenly he thought, yes, why should he climb a tree?Wouldn't it be good to ask Agui to get the jade pendant?

Zhu Gaochi was suddenly embarrassed, seeing his father's mocking smile, he was very worried, and was ridiculed by his father again!

"Chi'er didn't think so much, Chi'er just wanted to get back the jade pendant quickly." Zhu Gaochi said sullenly.

Zhu Di's heart was completely warmed up this time.

What Dao Yan said, he himself believed, this kid is smart, how could he not remember to find someone?It's just that he paid too much attention to Yu Pei and panicked for a while.

But what Dao Yan said was not enough, he could only be satisfied if he heard it from this kid himself.

That was the jade pendant he gave this kid.This kid can forget about being afraid of heights because of the jade pendant, and he is no longer afraid of heights.

Touching Zhu Gaochi's head, Zhu Di hugged him tightly, and said softly, "Chi'er, remember, as long as you stay by daddy's side, it will be fine."
