hermit meets king

"Okay." The emperor pointed impatiently at the old woman and said, "You said..."

"Yes, yes..." The old woman trembled, seeing the wink from the queen, "It's the queen, the queen, the death penalty for the grassroots."

"No, it's my son. My son made up his own mind." The crown prince threw himself behind the queen, "My mother has always been kind and generous, and never disdained such trivial matters. It was my son who listened to the villain's lies and was framed by others. "

"A villain talking nonsense?" The emperor looked at the prince who suddenly spoke loudly and clearly. It was really a good show before.

"Yes, it's the second younger brother. Otherwise, how could he have come so fast and at such a coincidence, and just happened to catch the old woman and report it to the emperor. Now that I think about it, I understand that I was stupid and fell into the trap." , Everything was arranged by him." The prince grabbed his father's shoes, grabbed the ground with his head, and argued word by word.

"Really?" The emperor turned around and asked Xu Yanzhuo.

"I beg my father to be clear." Xu Yanzhuo bowed and said, "Before, my third brother and I came to fetch the ancestral Taiji flag to celebrate the queen's birthday. I was threatened by a group of guards to block the door with death threats, so I realized that there must be someone inside. Strange."

"Then this old lady." The emperor looked at the Imperial Forest Army who came to report.

"Report, Your Majesty, it was Prince Rui who gave me his jade pendant, and asked me to hurry up and patrol around the palace wall." The Yulin Army took out Xu Yanzhuo's personal jade pendant from his bosom.Pass it to the emperor.

Xu Yanzhuo stated slowly word by word, "When my third brother and I came in, we found that the prince wanted to do something wrong to Miss Wen. I saw the wine on the table, and I smelled it, and the wine was specially made. I saw the girl’s symptoms, and Erchen had seen this book about memories of feelings in the book before. I registered the number, and in a hurry, I sent someone to bring my personal jade pendant to my father. The emperor's troops are going to patrol the periphery."

Xu Yanzhuo turned around and looked at the prince, "I didn't expect that he actually got someone."

"Royal father, listen to him talking nonsense." The prince said angrily, "A few days ago, a young servant spoke to me about this matter, and my son was fascinated by ghosts for a while, that's why..."

"Okay." The emperor waved his hand, he didn't want to hear any more, the matter is probably clear by now.

Even if the prince really believed what the villain said, it was because he was stupid.To do such a thing. "This matter has been decided. Don't publicize it."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! It's all the concubine's fault." The queen cried and wanted to take the blame on herself.

"The empress will be fined for half a year, and the salary will be fined for one year." The emperor looked at the prince, "The prince will be confined for half a year and not allowed to go out."

The emperor beckoned to Eunuch Huang, "Declared the decree, I heard that Taifu's daughter is the princess of Zhangping, with a thousand taels of gold and a hundred acres of fertile land."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Huang received the order.

Only then did the emperor scan the crowd, and snorted, "It's all on your own."

The matter is settled.

Outside the city gate, Xu Sheng was about to send Wen Shuya home.

Xu Yanzhuo was dressed in a rich purple dress, and he was riding on a tall horse in high spirits.Seeing Xu Sheng, he stopped, got off his horse and asked Xu Sheng, "Third Brother, Miss Wen should be fine, right?"

Xu Sheng was surprised, Prince Rui, who had always been indifferent to him, and even looked down on him, actually came out of a crisis today, and now he is still calling his third brother so politely.

Thinking back to when I went to the frontier by myself, his credit was indispensable.But he still smiled, "Miss Wen is fine. I just want to thank the second brother for making the rescue today."

"It's a small matter." Xu Yanzhuo felt relieved when he heard Xu Cheng call his second brother, and he easily won him over. He must be grateful to him because of today's incident, "You and Wen Taifu have always been friends, and Miss Wen It's even a childhood playmate. If I don't help you, who will I help?" He reached out and patted Xu Sheng's shoulder.

"Thank you, Brother Emperor." Xu Sheng bowed and saluted solemnly.

"Are you polite?" Xu Yanzhuo raised his eyebrows, glanced at the sedan chair behind, and said, "Then I'll go ahead, and the beauty will trouble the third brother to see you off." Then he jumped up and landed on the chair in a beautiful posture. on horseback.

Xu Sheng looked at the back of the man riding away on the horse, with a flirtatious look, did he invite the world's counselors?

Xu Yanzhuo did not return directly to Prince Rui's Mansion, but went to the outskirts of Kyoto alone.

Both physically and mentally, very happy.This Crouching Dragon is really good at predicting things.It would be understandable for such a talented person to have a bit of a temper.

Before, he looked down on his scholarly appearance, pedantic and tough, and he didn't even sell the face of himself and the prince.

Now it seems that he should really be caught in his hands.Help yourself to great things.Now he has designed the prince twice, the last time he helped himself regain the proton from the prince, this time he put the queen in limbo, and the prince was confined for half a year.It was obvious that he had become his own person.

When the prince came out in half a year, the world had already changed.I am afraid that the government affairs of the court have already been on my side by then.

Xu Yanzhuo arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, in front of an unremarkable small courtyard, and knocked on the door knocker from the front door openly.

A servant came and opened the door.It was not surprising to see that it was Xu Yanzhuo, and he did not ask, but said, "Sir, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Xu Yanzhuo lifted the hem of his clothes and walked towards the door.It seemed that he had expected it long ago. He was outside the palace in the outskirts of Beijing, but he knew everything about today's affairs in the palace like the palm of his hand.If we say that it is absolutely impossible for this capital city and even the palace without him.

The suzerain of Du Luomen in this world is indeed well-deserved.

Entering the yard, I saw Qi Wenxiu still dressed as a scholar, concentrating on tending flowers and plants, looking harmless to humans and animals.

It can deceive many outsiders.It's no wonder that they cast a net all over the world before, but they didn't find him. After taking office for more than a year, no one knows the true face of Du Luomen's suzerain.Xu Yanzhuo, who had always been indifferent, had to really re-examine the person in front of him.

In this way, I am fortunate to be able to accept this person and let him use him for myself. "Young Master Qi is really leisurely."

Hearing the voice, Qi Wenxiu raised his head, looked at Xu Yanzhuo and said, "Prince Rui came to the outskirts of Beijing when he has time, and he is also interested in elegance."

"Don't dare, there is such a strange person as Mr. Qi here. Let alone the suburbs of Beijing, even the ends of the world, this king will chase him to the end."

Xu Yanzhuo saw that Qi Wenxiu looked like a scholar under the blooming wintersweet, with handsome features and a tall and graceful figure, so that he really had the proud posture of a literati.

How could Qi Wenxiu fail to hear that the dignified Prince Chaorui was joking with himself, "Your Highness is joking."

Xu Yanzhuo looked at this talented man, although he was resourceful, he was not a person who knew how to joke.

It's all my own fault, I suppressed the prince twice in a row, and this time I defeated him even more.

Some got carried away, and only then exposed his true nature and made jokes with others. "Don't mind Mr. Qi, this king just treats you as one of his own."

"Cao Min understands." Qi Wenxiu was a little surprised when he heard Prince Rui's apologetic words. According to his own understanding, these eight Dragon Ball princes are very domineering on weekdays. He drew his sword and beheaded the guard who blocked him.Coming here now is just to express my attitude.

Putting down the flowers and plants in his hands, he bowed and saluted, and said solemnly, "Now that I have boarded the boat of Prince Rui, I will surely help him ferry to the other side of the right."

"Haha, good!" Xu Yanzhuo was startled when he heard Qi Wenxiu's words.He hurriedly helped him up, "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and this king will definitely live up to you."

"My lord please." Qi Wenxiu asked Xu Yanzhuo to sit down in the courtyard.

"I don't know anything about this king. Please ask Mr. Qi to explain." Xu Yanzhuo held up the cup in his hand, watching the tea leaves sink and float.

"My lord, it doesn't matter."

"How do you know that there must be an old woman who has not escaped outside the palace wall?" Xu Yanzhuo could understand that he had planned this matter in advance, and the prince said today that there was a villain who slandered her.

And I lied today.It's not that the guards are sent to arrest people after going to the Tai Chi Hall.

But before he found the prince, he had already sent his servants to arrest him outside the palace wall with his jade pendant.But this matter, he said to himself yesterday.

How did he know when he would send someone to look for him?If it's too early or too late?How come the timing is just right?

"It's just a coincidence." Qi Wenxiu said lightly and cleverly.

"Oh? Coincidentally?" Xu Yanzhuo raised his eyebrows, his beautiful picky eyes squinted for a moment of scrutiny, and then returned to flirtatious wantonness.

How could Qi Wenxiu miss his momentary change, and said, "There are still many things to do in the future, and Qi's city will naturally be opened for the prince."

Now that the words have come to this point, Xu Yanzhuo naturally understands.It doesn't matter what the twists and turns in him are, as long as it can be used by oneself.

Sooner or later, he will be able to grasp his core. "Then I will wait for Mr. Qi to open the city gate for me."

"Please look forward to it."

After sending Xu Yanzhuo away, Qi Wenxiu went back to the yard, picked up a wintersweet, twisted it with his fingertips, and the plum blossoms on the wintersweet instantly scattered, and the petals withered and fell to the ground.

The fish is hooked.

There is a dark shadow in the courtyard, the shadow has not yet appeared.

Xu Sheng sent Wen Shuya to return to the mansion. On the way to the palace, he met Qi Wenxiu in the suburbs of the capital.

Riding on the horse, Xu Sheng was surprised to see Qi Wenxiu on the road.Look at this posture, I think I have been waiting here for a long time.Xu Sheng hurriedly dismounted, and greeted, "Master Qi, this is?"

"That's right, I'm waiting for you." Qi Wenxiu smiled, looking harmless as a scholar.

"Wait for me?" Xu Sheng was full of doubts.

"Exactly." Qi Wenxiu looked at the upright and serious Prince of Tai'an in front of him. Among the three princes, he was the youngest. He was only 20 years old, but he had already experienced in the frontier for four years, and he was full of military spirit.But it also lacks the cunning of the conspiracy and tricks in the deep palace. "My lord and Shu Ya were childhood playmates?"

"Yes." Xu Cheng showed doubts on his face. He didn't understand why Qi Wenxiu mentioned this. After thinking about it carefully, isn't this Qi Wenxiu the favorite student of Wen Taifu, so he naturally knows Shu Ya.Only then did he understand, "Could it be this matter?" With you helping behind the scenes?

"Exactly." Qi Wenxiu naturally understood Xu Shengwei's doubts clearly, "I have some eyeliner in the palace, luckily they came in time."

Xu Sheng was terrified in his heart, but his face remained calm, "In time? You informed the second brother."

"This is exactly what the grassroots are waiting for the prince today." Qi Wenxiu bowed his hands and saluted.
