In the morning of the next day, the whole city was heavily guarded. By noon, the martial law was lifted. Li Yuanhao's driver must have left the city.
However, Su Jin did not dare to be careless and ordered his men to hibernate in the house and not go out. Yeli Duanyun also arranged for men to spy on the streets and secretly gather information.
According to common sense, tonight's secret meeting should not be in the Prince's Mansion. Not only because the Prince's Mansion is near the palace and is in a heavily guarded place, but also because the current situation in Xixia is so delicate. The Prince's Mansion trapped in the vortex must be a secret agent.
At the gathering place, not only Yuan Hao must have spies there, but Wu Zang Yipang and Wu Zang Heiyun, for the sake of the new prince, will also try their best to plant spies in the prince's mansion in order to catch the prince.
Attack the errors.
But even so, Su Jin still did not refuse Yeli Dulan's proposal to have a secret meeting in the prince's palace. Yeli Dulan had been in the palace of intrigues for a long time, and he would not understand the situation in the prince's palace. She would naturally have her own reasons for doing so.
considerations.
In fact, Su Jin could also guess the general reason. Prince Ning Lingge's every move was under the surveillance of everyone. In this situation, the only thing the prince could do was to keep the same despite changes. Whatever he did on weekdays, he would do it now.
If Li Yuanhao had just left the Prince's Mansion, the Crown Prince would have left the Prince's Mansion on the back. This would obviously attract the great attention of many spies. In that case, he would be targeted; as long as the Crown Prince stayed in the Prince's Mansion as usual, the spies would not be disturbed.
Sensitive nerves, even if a visitor comes, it is extremely normal. The latest chapter of Emperor Leng and Evil Queen. What's more, the visitor is a member of the Yeli family of my cousin. She is a close relative of her cousin, so it is nothing to come to the capital to visit the prince.
It’s strange, and it’s even more surprising that Queen Yelidulan came to visit her son.[
Xia people are accustomed to having guests at dinner parties. In the evening of that day, Yeli Duanyun brought gifts and pretended to be a new arrival in the capital to meet the prince's cousin, give gifts and reminisce about old times, and headed to the prince's residence with Su Jin, Wang Dynasty Ma Han and others in a swaggering manner.
The Prince's Mansion was originally supposed to be in the palace, but Li Yuanhao ordered people to build a new Prince's Mansion outside the southeastern part of the palace and asked the prince to move out. In this way, the only person in the palace who was truly called a man was Li Yuanhao, and it was not known where he was born.
For what purpose? The carriage arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion. Yeli Duanyun handed over the name card and invited the doorman to come in and report. The gatekeeper was familiar with Yeli Duanyun and politely asked Yeli Duanyun and his party to wait a moment.
, then went in to report.
After a while, the servant came out and said that the prince was waiting in the flower hall and asked his cousin to come in to meet him. Yeli Duanyun rewarded the servant and ordered Su Jin and others who were dressed like servants: "Bring the gifts in."
Without saying a word, Su Jin, Chao Chao and others raised their arms and carried a big box one by one, followed Yeli Duanyun and walked in. After passing the large outer house, there was a screen wall in front of them. Behind the screen wall was the entrance to the second entrance.
The flower hall was in the second entrance. Several people walked around the screen wall and were about to walk in when they heard a deep voice from behind: "Stop, who are you?"
Everyone stopped and looked around, only to see a fat middle-aged man standing behind him with a bulging belly. His expression was cold and he was dressed decently, not like a servant.
The disciple who led the way quickly went up and bowed: "Guan Li, the cousin from the Yeli tribe came from the grassland and wanted to see His Highness the Crown Prince. Just now, I have informed His Highness, and Your Highness asked me to take them there..."
"Why don't you report it to me first?" Manager Li scolded with an unhappy expression.
"How dare I not report to Manager Li first, and just now I'm looking for you. Coyotito said that you are always going to the toilet. How dare I disturb you when you are always going to the toilet, so..."
"Okay, okay." Manager Li waved his sleeves impatiently: "You go ahead, I'll take them to see His Highness."
The man quickly agreed and left in a flash. Manager Li turned to Ye Li Duanyun and cupped his hands and said: "It turns out to be Miss Cousin. I have long admired your name. I am Li Chengxiang. I have recently joined the Prince's Mansion as a steward. I'm afraid Miss Cousin has never seen me."
."
Yeli Duanyun said calmly: "How long do you want these servants like me to stand there carrying the boxes? Hurry up and lead the way."
Li Chengxiang saw that Yeli Duanyun was not pretentious and did not take him seriously at all. He did not even return the courtesy. A trace of sullenness appeared on his face. He suppressed his anger and squeezed out a smile and said: "
Please, Miss Cousin."
Yeli Duanyun stepped forward to enter the second entrance. Su Jin and others followed suit, but heard Manager Li say: "Wait a minute, my cousin can enter, but your servants are not allowed to enter the second entrance."
Yeli Duanyun said: "I'm bringing gifts to His Highness the Crown Prince, and you're going to stop me?"
Manager Li smiled and said: "Of course I won't stop you, but the second entrance is a restricted area. Do you still think this is an ordinary person's mansion? This is the prince's palace, and His Highness the prince is the future emperor. How can he let his servants come in and out at will?
If you put your things out here, someone will come and move them away. These brothers should just rest outside."
Yeli Duanyun glared and said: "Can people from my Yeli family still be harmful to the Crown Prince? What a joke."
Manager Li chuckled and said, "This is the rule of the Prince's Mansion. Why should Miss Cousin be angry about this?"
Yeli Duanyun said: "Here are all the things that the prince's cousin asked me to get for him, including southern porcelain, inkstones, pens and ink, fragrant cakes, plain paper, etc. Naturally, I want to hand them over to His Highness the prince myself.
Why do you want to stop it in your hand? What if someone else picks up the box and breaks it? Look at these servants. They keep holding the box after they leave the car, afraid to put it down or turn it sideways, for fear of being smashed.
If something is damaged, do you pay for it or should I pay for it?"
Manager Li said sternly: "Please be patient, cousin. Outsiders are indeed not allowed to enter the second entrance. I will order people to carry things carefully. If they are damaged, I will pay for them and we will seal the territory step by step."
Su Jin suddenly said: "Are you going to pay? Can you afford to pay? You didn't even buy these things even if I gave you the money. It wasn't because private traders from my Yeli tribe risked their lives to be beheaded by the Song people to smuggle them here.
Where can we get it? Miss, let's go back home. When His Highness the Crown Prince asks about it in the future, you will say that you were blocked by one of his servants."
Yeli Duanyun nodded and said: "Ah Da, you are right. We rushed here to deliver things, but we were interrogated by a slave for a long time. I, Daxia, have been strange recently. Even dog slaves have such courage. They are fooled.
Isn’t a manager a slave? You think of yourself as a person, bah.”
Yeli Duanyun turned around and left. Su Jin and others spat on the ground several times, carried the box and walked out. Manager Li's face turned green and red. Seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss Cousin, please don't
If you are angry, I will personally lead the way, and we will go to see His Highness the Crown Prince; hey, it’s not that I don’t understand the rules, I am also thinking about the safety of the Prince’s Mansion.”
Yeli Duanyun scolded: "Do you have dog eyes? I am the cousin of His Highness the Crown Prince, how can I be harmful to him? You are a bitch who just likes to show off your authority. Today I will teach you to be a good boy, even when you show off your authority.
Who cares? Do you believe me or not? I will go to the palace tomorrow to see my queen aunt. If you tell her this, you will not get any good results."
Manager Li rolled his eyes, cursed in his heart, kept the smile on his face, and said yes again and again, leading everyone into the second entrance and straight to the flower hall.
Prince Ning Lingge, who is about twenty people, has a tall and tall appearance, and looks very much like Li Yuanhao. At this moment, he is sitting at the table in the flower hall with a frown on his face, lost in thought. A call from outside the flower hall: "Brother Prince" brought him back to reality from his inexplicable emotions.
, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"My cousin is here! What took you so long?" Brother Ning Ling stretched out his hand to hold Yeli Duanyun's arm and walked inside. Yeli Duanyun slightly pulled away from his arm, and at the same time glanced at Su Jin with a blushing face.
Su Jin had a calm look on his face, holding the big box like a servant with his eyes fixed, as if he hadn't seen anything.
"It's not like your dog slave is in charge. I brought gifts, but he refused to let my entourage in. I'm so angry."
Brother Li Ningling didn't care that his arms were thrown away. He smiled and said: "If the servants don't come in, they won't come in. Why are you angry about this? You are really a child."
Yeli Duanyun said: "The stewards in the prince's cousin's house are so arrogant. It seems that we can't come to visit him in the future, lest we be humiliated by the slaves."
Li Ningling's face was very uncomfortable. He wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed and said with a smile: "Cousin, don't be angry, I'm here to apologize to you. Come on, come on, hurry up and take your seat; I stay in this prince's house every day,
I’m so suffocated that I hope someone can come see me, but lately fewer and fewer people have come.”
Yeli Duanyun said: "You are the prince, but you still have few people to fawn over? Aren't you still a well-connected person?"
Brother Ning Ling sighed and said: "Don't mention it, you don't understand even if I tell you. Sit down and drink tea and tell me about the scenery and interesting things on the grassland. I haven't been out for a long time."
Yeli Duanyun nodded and said: "Okay, but my five guys are also tired. Can you let them sit down and drink tea?"
Brother Ning Ling frowned and said, "I'll just order someone to take them to drink tea and receive the reward."
Yeli Duanyun smiled and said: "They are not here to drink tea and receive rewards."
Brother Ning Ling was stunned and said, "Why are you so weird?"
Yeli Duanyun looked around and saw the shadows of servants and maids walking around in the front hall and behind the hall, so he said softly: "Cousin Prince, can we talk in a cleaner place?"
Brother Li Ning didn't know why, but when he saw Yeli Duanyun's serious words, he nodded and said: "Go to the study, it's clean there."
Yeli Duanyun nodded slightly and said in a louder voice: "You guys, bring the box into the study. I want to show my cousin the gift."
The five people responded vaguely, carrying the box, and followed the two people out of the flower hall and towards the study at the back.[
