Prince Bao's Mansion is actually not too far from Prince Chu's Mansion, just three streets apart.
Around the time of the Chou Festival, the street is quiet and empty, with quiet houses and shops on both sides. The flags at the door of the shops flutter in the wind, and the coldness of late autumn penetrates the skin.
It was dark everywhere, the first quarter moon on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year sank, and the sky was full of stars, making the whole night shine with precious light.
Yu Wenhao held a torch and rode towards Prince Bao's Mansion.
When we arrived at the gate of the mansion, there was no one guarding the gate. Two lanterns hung under the eaves, emitting a faint light. Except for this light, everything else was pitch black, which made people look like they were leading to hell.
The concierge was located next to the gate. When the night watchman heard the sound of horse hooves, he opened the bamboo curtain and took a look outside, and asked sleepily: "Who is it?"
Yu Wenhao stopped his horse, his eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "I will report to your prince that I have something to ask for."
When the night watchman heard that it was His Royal Highness, he immediately lowered the curtain and walked out. He looked carefully and didn't know whether it was true or not, but he didn't dare to neglect. He opened the door and bowed to invite Yu Wenhao to come in and then informed him.
Yu Wenhao sat in the main hall for a long time before he heard footsteps.
Prince Bao was wearing white pajamas with a cloak on top. He had not tied up his crown and came in with a worried look on his face.
When he saw Yu Wenhao, he seemed a little surprised, "Prince Weiye came here, what's the matter?"
Yu Wenhao looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you send the servants out first?"
Prince Bao raised his hand and asked the servants to exit, and also closed the hall door.
He raised his robe and sat down, with a slight smile on his face, "The name "Your Majesty" really makes me feel proud."
Yu Wenhao raised his eyes and looked at him without saying any unnecessary nonsense, and asked: "Did you steal Mr. Hui Zong's body?"
Prince Bao looked surprised, "The body of Emperor Huizong has been lost? How is this possible?"
"The prince doesn't know about this?" Yu Wenhao looked disappointed, "I thought I could hear the truth from the prince if I came late at night."
Prince Bao raised his feet and leaned back slightly. His smiling face slowly faded away and he said calmly: "True or false is just the superficial understanding of the world. No one cares about the truth."
, the prince thinks it was me who did it, then bring out the evidence. If you can’t bring out the evidence, don’t talk nonsense. Be careful and you will harm innocent people if you talk about it.”
The corners of Yu Wenhao's lips curled up, "The prince has spent so much effort to accomplish these things, and now he doesn't hesitate to expose himself. He must have a deal to discuss with me, why don't you tell me?"
"Trade?" Prince Bao looked at him in surprise and said meaningfully: "I do do business, but I only do business with capable people. Trading with the prince? You are not worthy!"
Yu Wenhao suppressed the fury in his heart, stared at him and laughed slowly, "Really? Who knows who has the ability to do business with the prince?"
Prince Bao smiled and said, "At least, neither your father nor you are qualified."
The veins on Yu Wenhao's forehead throbbed, "Aren't you afraid of the consequences?"
Prince Bao looked at him, "Consequences? Is there any evidence?"
