King An felt very uncomfortable since he had dinner. He felt cold for a while and felt hot for a while. His face turned red all the way to the back of his ears.
Princess An looked at him fidgeting and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"It's not that I feel uncomfortable... I just feel like something is going to happen." King An stood up and walked around the room. Seeing the frightened look in Princess An's eyes, he hurriedly said: "It's not me, it's business. Maybe something went wrong.
."
"Is that so? Do you want to follow me?" Princess An asked considerately.
King An thought for a while. "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
But I felt uneasy even when I sat down. So I stood up again and said, "I'd better go out."
"Okay, go and come back quickly!" Princess An stood up to get his cloak and tied it on him with her own hands. "It's cold outside. Wear more clothes and don't get too cold."
Looking at Princess An's soft brows, he felt warm in his heart. He kissed her on the cheek. "I may not come back so early. You should rest early. Don't wait for me."
"Okay, I understand." Princess An's face turned red and she watched him turn around and leave.
As soon as he left, someone hurried over from the courtyard. He lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, the prince is coming to Prince An's Mansion."
King An's eyes darkened, "Have you brought anyone with you?"
"I only brought Xu Yi."
King An looked back at the courtyard gate and walked out quickly, "Without making any noise, please invite the prince to the side hall and tell him that I am taking a bath and ask him to wait for a while."
He lowered his voice and said, "Prepare another fast horse for me. I will leave the capital overnight."
"Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to leave Beijing at this time."
"We have to leave. We need to avoid this limelight first. Yu Wenhao has no evidence and is just a suspicion. Prince Bao cannot stay for too long. I will come back when I kill him. After I leave, you ask someone to inform the princess and say
The king is on a business trip."
"Yes!" the guard took the order, "I will arrange for a few people to follow you."
"Right away!" King An put the stand collar of his cloak up and quickly walked out of the back door.
After Yu Wenhao finished talking to Prince Bao, he took Xu and ran straight to Prince An's Mansion.
He can investigate slowly, but as Prince Bao said, nothing can be found in the investigation for the time being. Unless Lu Yuan wakes up and matches his confession, he will not be allowed to deny it.
However, Lu Yuan didn't know when he would wake up, and Xiao Hongchen would not be able to catch anyone for a while. He could not wait any longer, he had to find a breakthrough from Lao Si and retrieve the military map.
Even if the fourth child's old face is torn off, he will never be fooled. However, there is no need to tear off the old face for the time being. After all, the evidence is not sufficient. If tearing off the old face is not easy to do at this juncture, it is best to lure him out.
.
After entering Prince An's Mansion, the butler let him in and said with a smile: "Why are you here so late, Your Highness? Your Majesty has already gone to take a bath after dinner. Please wait in the side hall for a while. Your Majesty will be here soon."
Yu Wenhao touched his stomach and said, "Is there anything to eat? I am hungry." He had just prepared the meal, but he didn't even take a bite. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Prince Bao overturned the table. Thinking of the meat made him feel distressed.
Xu Yi moved his face forward, revealing two rows of white teeth but missing one, "I'm hungry too."
The butler yelled, "Your Highness hasn't eaten yet? How can this happen? You are so hungry. Come in and sit down. I will immediately order someone to cook it for you."
"It doesn't have to be too troublesome. Just make some. Just put it on the table. We've left some late night snacks in the house." Yu Wenhao ordered the housekeeper.
"Okay, your highnesses, you two are waiting. You will be here soon." After the butler led the two of them in, he asked someone to serve tea, and then went to the kitchen to greet them.
After about a stick of incense, King An didn't arrive, but two steaming bowls of noodle soup arrived, along with two portions of pickles and bacon.
Yu Wenhao was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he didn't care about his grace. He and Xu Yi had a great meal. In a moment, the two bowls of noodle soup were all gone, and they even ate up the two pickles.
After eating the pickles, the butler served tea again. After Yu Wenhao drank half a cup, he felt much better. He turned to look at the door, "Why did your prince take you so long..."
With a "pop", Xu Yi, who was standing next to Yu Wenhao, fell to the ground with a loud bang. A large black piece fell down, which shocked Yu Wenhao.
"Xu Yi!" Yu Wenhao stood up. His vision suddenly went dark and he was dizzy. He was startled and grabbed the butler's neck with one hand. He bared his teeth in anger, "How dare you drug me?"
…”
His majesty lasted only three seconds before he fell softly.
The butler stepped back and asked someone to bring in wine for the two of them to drink. He also sprinkled some on their clothes and said calmly, "Send His Highness back and tell them they were drunk in Prince An's Mansion."
The guard said: "When you wake up tomorrow, the prince will definitely attack."
"It's okay, with the princess guarding the palace, the prince can't make trouble. At most, he can lose his temper. Anyway, if the prince can't be found, it's useless for him to raise an issue. Now there is no evidence to complain to the emperor, so there is nothing he can do." The housekeeper said.
"That's right!" The guard asked someone to finish packing, and immediately carried the two of them out, got into the carriage, and drove to the Prince of Chu's Mansion himself.
He was sent back to Prince Chu's Mansion, handed over to the concierge, and then the guards left.
When the concierge saw that his father was drunk, he immediately asked someone to come out and help him. Little did he know that he couldn't even stand up, so he had to be carried in.
Tang Yang frowned when he saw this, "Why are you so drunk at this time? Whose carriage brought you back?"
"Sir Tang, it's the carriage from Prince An's Mansion," the concierge said.
Tang Yang was very surprised, "When did His Highness and Prince An get so good that they could drink together and still get so drunk?"
"I don't know. The man sent His Highness back, reported his home and then left. By the way, he also said that His Highness Prince An was even drunker," the concierge said.
Tang Yang was even more surprised, "Even if King An drinks with His Highness, why would you join in the fun with Xu Yi?"
He leaned over Xu Yi and took a sniff. The smell of alcohol came in. He covered his nose with his hand, "The smell of alcohol is so strong. How much did you drink? Xu Yi's alcohol capacity is average, but His Highness has a good alcohol capacity. Hey, first of all
Send it back and ask someone to prepare sobering soup."
"yes!"
A group of people carried the two of them inside, Xu Yi was sent back to his room, and Yu Wenhao was sent back to Xiaoyue Pavilion.
Tonight was Qiluo's night watch. When she saw Yu Wenhao being carried in, she was so frightened that she screamed, "Oh my God, His Highness has been assassinated? Is he injured?"
Yuan Qingling was reading inside. When he heard Qiluo's words, he threw the book on the Arhat's bed and ran out barefoot. When he saw Yu Wenhao being carried in by two guards, he was so frightened that his heart almost stopped beating. Fortunately,
Tang Yang followed, and before Yuan Qing asked, he quickly said: "Drunk, Princess, don't worry, Your Highness is drunk."
"Drunk?" Yuan Qingling also smelled the smell of alcohol and frowned, "Didn't you say you were doing something important? Why are you so drunk?"
