v2.Chapter 168 (1/2)
In the deep autumn night, the watchman bangs, and the dull voice breaks the tranquility of the night sky.
”The weather is dry and the things are dry, be careful with the fire and candle -”
there are a row of fallen leaves on the roadside. I don't know what the trees are. Under the trees, a simple green sedan car passes by in a hurry and soon disappears in the roadway.
The watchman was an old man. He thought he was dazzled and rubbed his eyes. As expected, there was no sign of the sedan chair.
He must have been mistaken. He continued to patrol along the long street.
There are two red lanterns hanging in front of the gate of the prince's mansion. Under the red lanterns, the majestic red lacquer mansion is majestic. You can see that it is royal.
As soon as the green sedan arrived, someone immediately opened the door of the mansion and welcomed the sedan into the door.
The red lacquer gate closed again, as if it had never happened.
”Prime minister, your highness, please.”
A servant of the mansion came up, stood on the side of the sedan chair and bowed to invite him. The sedan chair driver pressed down the bamboo bar, and Yin Shuo stepped out of the sedan chair.
He was not a servant, but the Duke Qiu of the prince's mansion.
When the prince came of age, he went out of the palace to build his teeth. The princess married and moved to her husband's house. As a rule, she couldn't take the palace people away to wait on her. She could only bring a few people who were very close to her.
Therefore, the palace people who can follow the prince and Princess out of the palace are very favored by the master. The great prince sends Duke Qiu to meet him, which shows his weight in the great prince's heart.
Yan Shuo laughed, ”thank you, Mr. Qiu.”
With a smile, Duke Qiu avoided and led him to the prince's study.
There was a light like beans in the study. After Duke Qiu stepped down, there was only the eldest prince and Yin Shuo talking at night.
The eldest prince said modestly, ”the prime minister has missed the night to come to my house.”
Yan Shuo took a sip of the hot tea, and most of the cold on his body faded, ”it's OK. There must be ears and eyes of the second prince and Princess Danyang in our house. It's more convenient to come to your Highness's house to talk. ”
The mansion of the great prince and the second prince was filled with people from time to time, including courtiers and counsellors, as well as their guests.
Even if someone saw a small sedan car leaking into the prince's mansion at night, they didn't expect that it was Yin Shuo inside.
The great prince said, ”you said you had something important to discuss with me, but you have already figured out a way.”
The tea was a little hot, just right, and Yin Shuo sipped it, not in a hurry to answer the prince.
He knew what the prince was asking and how eager he was. He was just trying to make the prince happy.
”Do you remember that according to the old calendar, your Majesty would go hunting in the paddock every two or three autumn days?”
The prince paused, ”naturally I remember. It's been three years since my father went hunting in autumn. Originally, this year, the Xikun army invaded, and my father wanted to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and people on the border. Naturally, he could not go hunting for fun by himself. ”
Yan Shuo said: ”in wartime, we can't go, but now Marquis Gu has won a great victory. I expect that he will return in triumph soon. With his loyalty to his majesty, we will have no chance to do it when he comes back. ”
”Do it? What do you want to do? ”
The eldest prince Mu Lu is alert. The last time he let the virtuous imperial concubine poison the emperor Ning, it almost came to light. He still has nightmares that the emperor Ning found out about it.
Let him move his hand again, he may not have the courage.
Yin Shuo was disappointed. ”I thought the eldest prince had more courage and insight than the second prince. He dared to gamble against the world. It seems that I look up to his highness.”
The eldest prince looked at him, gritted his teeth and said, ”it's not that I'm timid. The last time it happened, it almost came to light. You know, there may not be no one else in the court. Once this matter is exposed, my mother and I will die. What else can we talk about? ”
