King's Landing [Rebirth]

The emperor hadn't shown up for a long time, and the prince's whereabouts were unknown. Wang Shuzhi didn't say much, and the ministers naturally didn't dare to speak up, but no one was a fool, and they had already smelled the difference.

At the beginning, King Yi was cautious in his words and deeds, but after a long time, his patience was exhausted, so he stopped being sneaky and simply entered the palace swaggeringly.

The emperor didn't see anyone, he didn't even give face to the prime minister, yet he summoned King Yi every day, isn't that obvious?It must have been under house arrest by King Yi.

When people's hearts were surging, someone contacted Xie Zhuo secretly, tearing down their hearts and lungs with him.

"Lord Xie went out twice for the imperial court. Not only did he regain the homeland of Liang, but he also repelled Qin in one fell swoop. Now Qin is too busy to take care of himself. This is all thanks to Sir Xie! But since the army returned to Beijing, the imperial court has treated Xie It's really chilling that the adults don't care about it. King Yi, he..." Then he stopped suddenly, with a look of hesitating to speak.

Xie Zhuo sneered secretly, knowing that someone had taken a fancy to the strength in his hands, and hoped that the Xie family would be the leader to deal with King Yi. After all, the prince's assassination was very likely to be at the hands of King Yi, and Xie Zhuo should be the most unwilling one.

Xie Zhuo was indeed not reconciled, but now that the prince has not been found, everything he did was in vain, he just endured and perfunctory, and after seeing off the guests, he looked back at the desolate dead branches in the courtyard, counting the days when the prince disappeared , could not help but frowned and sighed.

In the prime minister's mansion, Wang Shuzhi had already heard the news from the palace, knowing that the emperor was more wary of King Yi, and felt much more at ease: "In the near future, King Yi dare not do too much, but we still have to find the prince as soon as possible, otherwise Once Yi Wang's patience is exhausted, even if he can't find the Great Seal, he will also make a move."

Pei Liang glanced at him, knowing that he was worried, he hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, don't worry too much, the crown prince has his own destiny, no news is good news."

Wang Shuzhi waved his hand, looking tired.

The two were talking in a low voice when Wang Ting's voice suddenly came from outside: "Prime Minister, Da Sima is here."

Wang Shuzhi frowned, his complexion suddenly became ugly, he sighed and got up to meet him.

King Yi took control of the imperial palace, and Wang Shuzhi took control of the government. Although the two sides were at war, it was a good situation for Wang Yu to run rampant.

As soon as Wang Yu saw Wang Shuzhi, his expression darkened immediately, and he scolded, "How long are you going to mess around?"

Wang Shuzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled: "Shuzhi doesn't understand what uncle means. Uncle is rarely here, so it's better not to get angry. Come, drink tea first."

Seeing a smile on Wang Yu's face, he couldn't express the anger that was pent up in his throat. He could only darken his face and said in a deep voice, "What are you going to do? Now the situation is very good, and King Yi's ascension to the throne is just around the corner. Why do you want to stop him?" ?”

Wang Shuzhi still smiled, but there was a chill in his eyes: Uncle trusts Wang Yi so much?Based on what he did, even if such a person ascended the throne, he would attack his uncle in the future. "

Wang Yu's expression remained unchanged: "So what? Whoever is the emperor will be afraid of our royal family's power, and King Yi will care about our meritorious service as a dragon. Besides, with the strength in hand, what are you afraid of him doing?!"

Wang Shuzhi knew that what he said was not unreasonable. Without Sima Rong, King Yi would indeed be the best candidate. It's not that King Yi would care about old feelings, but because of the situation, he had to rely on the power of the Wang family.

Wang Yu stared at him: "What is your plan?"

Wang Shuzhi paused, and did not hide from him: "I am looking for the prince's whereabouts."

"What?" Wang Yu looked like a ghost, "You are still looking for the prince? What good did the prince promise you?"

There was a slight smile on Wang Shuzhi's lips, and the tenderness in his eyes could not be concealed. There is nothing to hide in the current situation.

Seeing his unusual expression, Wang Yu suddenly recalled it, and stood up abruptly: "Speaking of which, tell me the truth, where did Wang Chi who was by your side go?"

"He..." Wang Shuzhi suppressed the worries in his heart, leaned back and looked up at him with a smile, "Is Uncle talking about Yan Qing? He... disappeared."

Wang Yu's hands behind his back trembled a little, as if he understood what he meant, but he seemed unable to believe his own speculation. He took a deep breath and said, "Is he...the crown prince?"

Wang Shuzhi got up slowly, handed the teacup into his hand as if comforting, and said softly: "Uncle, the prince and I fall in love with each other."

"Bang—" Wang Yu shook his hand, and the teacup shattered to the ground.

Wang Shuzhi's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Uncle, Yan Qing is more suitable than King Yi."

"Stupid!" Wang Yu suppressed the shock, and quickly regained his senses. He didn't comment on the relationship between the two, but said with a sullen face, "The emperor's favor is fleeting, not to mention that you are a man, how can you get along with the beauties of the harem?" Compared? He needs you now, so naturally he can say all kinds of good things, but do you still take it seriously?"

"I believe him." Wang Shuzhi sighed lightly, he didn't want to explain too much, he just said tiredly, "Now I don't know where he is and whether he is safe or not, saying anything is superfluous."

"Whether he is dead or alive, you can't gamble with the entire Wang family! This time I have seen clearly that this man is very impatient, and he is by no means easy to deal with!"

Wang Shuzhi waved his hand: "Uncle stop trying to persuade me, Shuzhi has made up his mind."

Wang Yu was so angry that his chest was tight.

Wang Shuzhi glanced at Wang Ting who was poking his head at the door, and raised his voice, "What's the matter?"

"Return to Prime Minister, Mr. Lu is here to visit." Wang Ting walked in with his head bowed, and handed Lu Zixiu a greeting card.

Wang Yu didn't expect to convince Wang Shuzhi in one go, and he didn't want to break up with him because he saw an outsider coming, so he took the opportunity to leave.

Wang Shuzhi heaved a sigh of relief, sent him away, and then invited Lu Zixiu in, looking at him with a bit of surprise, wondering why this young master Lu, who never went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, came this time.

"I remember that Yuan Sheng lived very well in your residence."

Lu Zixiu ignored his jokes, with a dignified look on his face, and when everyone else retreated, he quickly took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to him.

Wang Shuzhi looked surprised: "Lu Zixuan's letter? Are you sure you want to show me this family letter?"

"Yes."

Wang Shuzhi looked at him, took out the letter inside, and before he finished reading it, his expression suddenly changed, his hands holding the letter paper trembled, and he suddenly became restless.

Lu Zixiu had never seen him so out of control, and looked at him with a strange look.

"He..." Wang Shuzhi's voice was hoarse, and he couldn't hold back the surprise and excitement in his heart. He took a deep breath and read the letter from the end again, as if he had grasped the straw, his eyes were stuck in the letter and he couldn't get it out. In Wu County?"

"Yes, Xiaguan's elder brother saw it with his own eyes. It is inconceivable that two people who have nothing to do with each other look exactly alike in this world. Xiaguan thinks it is impossible for there to be a third one."

"Good! Good! Great!" Wang Shuzhi was almost incoherent, "Wang Ting! Call Pei Liang over!"

Pei Liang came in a hurry, and seeing Wang Shuzhi, who had been out of his mind for several days, suddenly came back to life, his heart moved slightly, as if he had guessed something: "Prime Minister, there is good news?"

Wang Shuzhi nodded, handed the letter to him, and said: "Go pick the most capable guards, I want to go out of Beijing!" Then he raised his voice and shouted outside, "Wang Ting, prepare the horse and the car, the most comfortable car!"

After reading the letter, Pei Liang saw that he seemed to be planning to go out immediately, and his face changed slightly: "Prime Minister, absolutely not! The prince is not awake yet, so don't leak the news. If the prime minister leaves Beijing to pick up someone in person, he must not hide it from others' eyes and ears." !"

Wang Shuzhi was always calm, but when he encountered Sima Rong, he lost his position. After hearing Pei Liang's advice, he quickly calmed down and patted his forehead, pacing back and forth, suppressing the restlessness in his heart: "You are right!"

Lu Zixiu knew for a long time that he and Sima Rong had a close relationship, but he was still surprised when he suddenly saw that he lost his position. After thinking about it, he said: "Prime Minister, you must keep everyone secret about the crown prince. Sure. If the prime minister can trust you, you might as well hand it over to the subordinate officials."

Wang Shuzhi looked up at him, as if thinking about it.

"Since both Xiaguan's elder brother and Mr. Sun thought he was Yuansheng, we might as well treat him as Yuansheng. Xiaguan went to pick up his old servant. Presumably Mr. Sun would not be suspicious, and Mr. Sun knew the identity of Xiaguan. I will also rest assured that I will hand over the person to the next official."

Wang Shuzhi pondered for a moment, then nodded: "There are not many guards in your mansion, I will send some people to protect secretly."

"Yes."

Lu Zixiu left the Prime Minister's Mansion, Pei Liang quickly arranged things, Wang Shuzhi began to look forward to it, and every day became extremely difficult, both happy and Sima Rong's return, but also anxious because of his coma.

After he secretly found several famous doctors and invited them to the prime minister's mansion, Wang Ting finally came to announce the good news with a happy face: "Prime Minister, the carriage has passed the city gate and will be here soon!"

Wang Shuzhi got up quickly, he didn't have time to change his clothes, and hurried out the door, but was grabbed by Wang Ting: "Prime Minister!"

Wang Shuzhi quickly calmed down and tried to put on a calm appearance, but although his mind was clear, his heart was already in a mess. He clenched his hands by his sides and released them, then loosened them and clenched them again. With a sigh of relief, he turned around abruptly and went back to the study to sit down.

This is the person Lu Zixiu went to pick up. It is impossible to go back to the prime minister's mansion directly. Now that there are tigers watching everywhere outside the gate, you must wait patiently.

Wang Shuzhi went in and out of the study door countless times, making Wang Ting dizzy. Just when the master and servant were almost unable to hold on, Lu Zixiu finally came.

The prime minister's mansion had already made preparations, and the threshold of the side door was removed to allow the carriage to enter directly. After entering the gate, there was no need to worry about being seen by interested people.

Wang Shuzhi rushed to the door, his heart beating faster, he didn't know whether it was more joy or worry, but he felt that everything in front of him became blurred, the closer he got to the carriage, the slower he walked, every step was like a thousand pieces of gold.

Lu Zixiu got out of the car, opened the curtain, and the four people in the pavilion went forward and slowly lifted the people inside.

When he finally saw the person he was thinking about day and night, Wang Shuzhi's eyes suddenly turned red, as if his throat was clenched tightly, he opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, raised his hand carefully and lightly touched Sima Rong's pale and thin cheek, and said silently: " Yan Qing..."
