I write novels in the East Palace

Chapter 3 It's Late at Night

Zhou Chengyi stood up with his rice bowl in his hand, and stuffed a piece of braised pork with chopsticks into his mouth. He smiled at his brother, his bulging cheeks moved, and said vaguely, "Brother, don't be angry, writing can't be done overnight. Maybe I'll be inspired to fill in the hole after eating."

Zhou Chengyao supported his forehead, and couldn't bear to look directly at his younger brother's etiquette, "Don't eat or sleep, don't talk about sleep, let's put aside the matter of the article for a while...Look at your food, why are you so hungry, sit down and eat."

He looked at it and felt a puff of breath in his heart, stuffy and painful, and two low coughs let out from between his lips.

"Thank you brother! Brother, why don't you eat some too?" Zhou Chengyi said so, it was purely fake polite, his eyes almost glowed green when he stared at the food.

Zhou Chengyao saw at a glance that his words were duplicity, he was helpless and funny, and the gloom in his heart dissipated a little, he tapped his fingers in the air and reprimanded, "Hurry up and eat yours!"

The two chatted for a short while before the Habayashi Army knocked on the door, "His Royal Highness, it's late at night, and the palace gate should be closed."

Gently persuade him to go back.

Zhou Chengyao frowned, and said displeasedly, "In this case, the king will rest here for a night, and return to the mansion tomorrow morning."

"This--"

There was a sudden chaos outside, as if someone had come, and soon calmed down again.

Zhou Chengyi raised his head from the bowl, keenly feeling that the quietness outside was not normal.

Hearing the knock on the door again, Zhou Chengyao served Zhou Chengyi some food with a gentle and loving face, but the words that came out of his mouth seemed to be annoyed, "This king said that he would rest here for a night, and come back tomorrow!"

"And the Prince." But the voice outside the door changed, and it became the shrill voice of an old eunuch, saying respectfully, "It's an old slave, I wish you good luck in spring."

Zhu Chunfu was the eunuch of Qianyuan Palace, and the second in command under Wang He, the head of the twelve eunuchs, was the eunuch Bingbi.

There is no doubt that whether it is Wang He or Zhu Chunfu, they are the emperor's confidantes, and they must have come here under the emperor's order.

Sure enough, Zhu Chunfu said, "The exposure is deeper. Your Majesty is worried about His Highness's health. When you left the Qianyuan Palace, your Majesty asked the old slave to come in a sedan chair and escort His Highness back to the palace. His Majesty also said that if His Highness caught wind and suffered If you get cold, you must punish the old slave."

This old eunuch is a fine person, and Zhou Chengyao's hard and soft words made it difficult for him.

"Understood, it's windy outside, and I'm not feeling well. I'll go out later." Zhou Chengyao prevaricated casually, and deliberately coughed twice to show that he was really not well.

Looking at the windless night, Zhu Chunfu responded with a smile, and really retreated.

Zhou Chengyi caught the message from the old eunuch just now: "So brother has been to Qianyuan Palace?"

"...Yes." Zhou Chengyao didn't want to mention this at first, but he didn't expect it to be exposed. He looked sad, "Father thought I was pleading for you again, so he refused to see me. I can't help it, and I'm really worried about you. We had to force our way in."

Zhou Chengyao was recuperating in the mansion, and suddenly the princess Huimin, who had little contact with him, sent a brief letter from the palace. Zhou Chengyao immediately felt that something happened to the East Palace.

Xu Rui really didn't remember Zhou Chengyi's explanation very much, and when he panicked, he subconsciously ran to a place he thought was safe, and was caught by Princess Huimin who was looking for him on the way.

Princess Huimin is a smart person, she only listened to Xu Rui's confused words, she got a general understanding of Zhou Chengyi's situation, and immediately guessed what Zhou Chengyi said in the end.

She explained the situation in a straightforward manner, and even wrote down what Xu Rui said, "The waste prince was so hungry that he not only ate his candy, but even the handkerchief."

When Zhou Chengyao saw the letter, he sat up in shock in his dying illness, and hurried into the palace to face the saint.

Everything after that will be clear.

"But the father is not heartless. He asked Zhu Chunfu to follow me, obviously knowing that I was desperate to break into the East Palace, but Zhu Chunfu did not stop me." Zhou Chengyao looked at Zhou Chengyi's face, worried that there would be a rift between father and son.

The kinship of the Tian family has always been weak, and there are countless people who killed their fathers and brothers for the throne.

Not to mention that Zhong Liyue, the Generalissimo of the army and horses, is becoming more and more powerful, and he is suspected of being the master of the war with great merit.The greater the power of Zhong Li's family, the more the original owner, the prince, became more restrained in government affairs. He didn't even dare to show himself too much in front of the emperor.

Zhou Chengyi shook his head, and did not express his opinion on the matter, but instead said, "Since Zhu Chunfu is following you, if you think about the abnormality of the Yulin Army, the emperor knows about it."

"Yes, this is also a good thing." Zhou Chengyao nodded, "The old five dares to stretch his hands into the Yulin army, the father is afraid that Longyan will be furious."

Zhou Chengyi didn't think so, but he didn't say much.

At this point, Zhu Chunfu came to urge him at the right time, but Zhou Chengyao had no choice but to get up and leave.

When he left, he was still nagging, very worried.

It is said that Zhou Chengyi finished his meal alone, and while he was sitting to digest his food, what popped into his mind was the fox that he had just told Zhou Chengyao about.

After a while, Zhou Chengyi returned to the study, he spread out the paper and picked up the pen.

The tip of the pen hangs for a moment, and when it falls, it is called the two-character title of the pioneering work of popular novels written by Bai Hua:

——"Fox Dream".

The Qianyuan Palace was brightly lit, and the wicks crackled in the fireworks.

The emperor was wearing a coat and leaning on the dragon chair to read the papers. His face was tense and his brows were tightly wrinkled. All the court ladies and eunuchs lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.

A young eunuch came in quietly and whispered to the old eunuch who was waiting at the side.

The eunuch was exactly Wang He, the eunuch in charge of the Qianyuan Palace and the chief eunuch of the Si Li Supervisor.

"Wang He, grind ink for me." The emperor threw the booklet on the table, and pressed the center of his eyebrows quite tiredly.

Wang He stepped forward in response.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is out of the palace." Wang He reported, "I drank the ginger soup and gave me medicine to dispel the cold. It seems that there is no serious problem. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

The emperor wrote the reply on the notebook without raising his head, and said in a flat tone, "Changkang's health is uncertain. He has not recovered from a serious illness, and his mood fluctuates.

"Then the old slave will send down an order to tell the two adults, Yuyi Zhang and Chen Yuyi, to stay in the palace for a while?" Wang He asked.

The emperor nodded, the tip of the pen stopped suddenly, and he closed the folder.

Wang He immediately saw the clue, he winked, and the palace ladies and eunuchs immediately bowed and receded like flowing water.

"Your Majesty, that Highness is smart, and the crisis has been resolved. Although life is a bit rough, I think there will be no serious problems when things subside." Wang He replied in a low voice. Seeing that the emperor seemed to have a headache, he immediately stepped forward to massage him.

"What did Yi'er do after being imprisoned?" The emperor closed his eyes and asked Zhou Chengyi's recent situation for the first time, his tone seemed to be on a whim.

But Wang He knew that His Majesty was disappointed if he didn't ask.

Marshal Zhongli was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the crown prince was extremely innocent. How could His Majesty not know about it.

It's just that Zhongli's family is powerful, and the emperor's art focuses on checks and balances. His Majesty originally planned to take it lightly, but when the time comes, nothing will happen. This is one; Be a qualified prince.

However, after the incident, the prince was arrested without doing anything.

His Majesty was disappointed in his heart, so he didn't ask any questions for a while in a hurry.

But he never thought that he would allow others to take advantage of the opportunity and secretly manipulate some tricks, intending to put His Highness the Crown Prince to death.

When the news reached Qianyuan Palace earlier, His Majesty really got angry. He directly named people by name and scolded him mercilessly, "Zhou Cheng'an! Zhou Younu! I really gave birth to a good son! Cruel and merciless! Short-sighted!"

Every word is abasic, the sound is bleeding, the eyes are about to split, and the words are almost squeezed out from the gap between the teeth.

The people serving in Qianyuan Palace are all trembling, for fear that the emperor will be angry and leave millions of corpses.

Now when His Majesty asked, Wang He naturally picked it up and said emphatically, "When the Prince went down, His Highness was in the study."

"He has a big heart and is detached." The emperor was dissatisfied with his words, but his eyebrows stretched a little.

"Your Highness is fully prepared, waiting for the opportunity." Wang He's compliments are always just right.

Seeing that His Majesty seemed to be in a much better mood, he asked cautiously, "I don't know how to deal with those things that are crawling around?"

"Hmph." The emperor opened his eyes and sneered, and said without anger, "I will send all these people to Lao Wu's mansion and ask him to come and interrogate himself!"

He added, "Ask Pei Shengyi and his son to send it off."

Pei was promoted to the second rank Zuo Sima, Zhong Liyue, who was guarding the border, was not around, he was the head of military officers in the court, and he had been saved by Zhong Liyue.

17 years ago, Ru Chuan was defeated and [-] soldiers buried their bones. If Zhongliyue's divine soldiers had not fallen from the sky, the thousand cavalry led by Pei Shengyi would have been wiped out.Pei Shengyi was just a small leader at that time, and he stayed under Zhongliyue's command for three years, then transferred the naval battalion to the south, and climbed to the position of Zuo Sima step by step.

Pei Sheng also had three sons, the eldest son Pei Ming and the second son Pei Yi were respectively named Sacrifice to Ru and Sichuan, in honor of the souls of the [-] soldiers in Ruchuan, while the third son Pei Ye took the word Tianchao.

It can be seen that Pei Sheng is also grateful to Zhong Liyue, and the three sons of the Pei family, especially Pei Ju, highly respect Zhong Liyue.

Asking Pei Sheng to send those Habayashi soldiers who were crawling inside and out to the fifth prince, the fifth prince was probably so frightened that he couldn't sleep at night.

Wang He knew that His Majesty was dissatisfied with the Fifth Prince's actions and wanted to beat him or her.

He hastened to do so.

The emperor sighed softly and said worriedly, "It's a pity that Changkang Renshan has been in poor health since he was a child, Yi'er is clever but has a weak temper, and the fifth... the fifth has outstanding strengths and flaws, and is too cruel. Brothers are bloodbathed."

"I'm getting old, and I often feel that I don't have enough energy. The court is full of illnesses, so I have to choose a Mingjun." The emperor asked, "Wang He, tell me, who should I choose?"

Naturally, Wang He didn't dare to say anything. He knelt down and pleaded guilty, "This old slave is stupid."

The emperor didn't really want to hear the answer from him, so he closed his eyes and waved his hands.

"The old slave will leave." Wang He bowed and quietly withdrew.
