"Although the princess lay down early, she just fell asleep just now. Please don't disturb her!"
"If something serious happens, please wake up the princess quickly."
Princess Lu vaguely heard the sound, but it was very faint. She was very tired and couldn't sleep at first, so she fell asleep after lighting the "Calming Incense".
The spread of incense is not as familiar as that of tea and chess. The palace is most taboo about sex, medicine, and incense. Although some women like to use it, it is obviously stolen goods, and it will be over if they are caught.
The rules of the palace are not that strict, but they are not easy to get. I couldn't sleep just now, so I lit a "soothing incense" before I fell asleep. Once I fell asleep, the light and elegant fragrance made me want to continue sleeping.
"Princess, Princess, wake up quickly, someone is coming from the palace!"
What? Someone is coming from the palace?
The anxious call in her ears made Princess Lu wake up, and she turned over and sat up without caring about her manners.
The person who looked anxious in front of her was one of the personal maids.
"Is there someone from the palace? Here to announce the decree?" Princess Lu asked as she motioned to the maid to embroider shoes for her, her heart beating wildly.
Several maids helped Princess Lu put on her dress and arrange her hair one after another. One maid recalled what she had just seen and was still trembling. She said in horror: "This is Eunuch Ma. The door of our palace is open, and the armored soldiers have broken in. It's scary."
Oh! Hey, Eunuch Ma has brought many armored soldiers to break in and go to the prince! Princess, do you say... do you think it is..."
King Lu and Princess Lu did not live in the same courtyard, but just next to each other. When she heard this, Princess Lu's heart froze.
Although when she married into the royal family, the graves in the Crown Prince's Mansion were all covered with grass. She had never known the former Crown Princess, but she grew up in the family and could occasionally hear the elders talking quietly. Of course, she knew that if her husband fell into the situation of the former Crown Prince,
, what will happen to her as a princess, she is afraid that she will have no choice but to go to hell together. In just a moment, cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
But after all, she was still a young lady from an official family. After training, she knew that she had to stabilize people's hearts at this time and said: "The prince is the emperor's biological son. Even without the prince, he is still a prince. As long as it is not a serious crime of treason, the most he will be demoted is
Common people, your lives will not be in danger. Since you are the servants of the royal palace, don’t scare yourself first."
Rather than saying this to these maids, I said it to myself.
It was already June, and the clothes she wore were thin and sparse. It didn't take long to sort them all out. Princess Lu only brought a nanny and a personal maid there. Seeing that it was raining, she even held an umbrella.
"No one is allowed to move, and anyone who dares to run around will be shot to death." In the rain, a stranger shouted in a low voice, but not to her, but to the maids and servants.
Seeing the soldiers pouring in, leading directly to King Lu's courtyard, and guards holding swords everywhere, Princess Lu asked the maid in a low voice: "Which yamen is this from?"
"My servant asked, he is from the Imperial City Department."
Princess Lu suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart. She couldn't help but shudder. She mustered up the courage to step forward, but there was no one to stop her. When she arrived at King Lu's courtyard, she saw that the armored soldiers were even denser, and they were all watching eagerly.
, although there was no obstruction, the atmosphere was chilly and her face became paler.
This situation is obviously not good to the naked eye.
In King Lu's courtyard, Ma Shunde kept walking and went straight to the room where King Lu was resting. The door opened with a bang. Looking at the young prince sleeping on the couch, Eunuch Ma was not polite and directly said to the servant of the prince's palace standing next to him: "Why don't you return?"
What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you wake up Mr. Liu quickly!"
King Lu was reduced to a bald prince. This sixth master is the ranking recorded in the royal family tree. In addition to the former prince, King Qi, and King Shu, there were two other princes who died in their early teens. This kind of people who are over ten years old
If a person dies young, although the funeral is not big, the order is not eliminated, and there is usually a posthumous title.
"Sixth Master, Sixth Master, wake up! Sixth Master!" The servant who was glanced at was none other than Zhao Zhu. At this time, he was dripping with cold sweat. He felt that the five taels of silver in his arms were too heavy and panicked. He walked to the couch and kept saying nothing.
call.
Even though he called me "Prince" in private, when someone from the palace came, he didn't dare to call him like that again.
The title Liu Ye was really unfamiliar. After calling him a few times, the person on the bed responded.
King Lu finally woke up. When he opened his eyes, he first saw Zhao Zhu with an anxious face. When he realized there were others in the room, he looked again and saw Eunuch Ma.
Someone is coming from the palace?!
Eunuch Ma looked serious. Seeing that King Lu was awake, he bowed towards him and said, "Sixth Master, I am here to ask you to test me. Please cooperate."
Two people came behind him, one was the imperial doctor and the other was Huo Wuyong.
These are all people known to King Lu. Now the three of them have expressionless faces. King Lu sits up. At this time, the drizzle is falling, and it melts under the eaves. Under the dim sky, it looks extremely terrifying. King Lu’s
My heart was twisted and it hurt a little.
Eunuch Ma performed the courtesy of master and servant and said to the young eunuch: "Take a few people to the study to have a look. Remember, don't mess up Liu Ye's things."
When King Lu heard this, his heart tightened again. Fortunately, he immediately thought that the things he kept in his study were things that he was not afraid of checking, so there was no need to be nervous.
But he had expected the test a long time ago. He didn't find it strange that his father sent someone to come, but at the same time he also wanted to search his study. This was really unusual. Could it be that his father not only suspected that he was not of his father's blood?
, still doubting what you have done?
Because he didn't know what it meant, King Lu felt uneasy and restless, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing, maintaining the last bit of dignity.
"Sixth Master, please be patient for a moment." Eunuch Ma personally brought a small jade plate to him. It was more like a small bowl than a jade plate. It was densely packed with patterns, no, it was a charm.
There was a little eunuch beside him, holding a silver plate with a long silver needle on it, and he first made a confession.
"This is the test."
Although King Lu was confident, he also knew that life, death, honor and disgrace all depended on this, so he couldn't help but stare at it.
Huo Wuyong came over at this time and signaled King Lu to stretch out his hand. Then he picked up a long and thin silver needle and lightly pricked the pad of one of King Lu's fingers.
"hiss!"
Although it was a light prick, with their fingers connected to their hearts, King Lu still frowned subconsciously, but he did not pay attention to it, but stared at a few drops of blood falling on the jade plate.
But before he could see more, the jade plate was taken away by Eunuch Ma, a silver cover was put on it and it was taken to the outside room, where the imperial doctor and Huo Wuyong waited for changes.
In this room, King Lu was sitting, a little restless, while Ma Shunde was still standing with his hands down, maintaining his duty as a slave to his young master, even though he was actually in control of his life.
You can kill, but you can't humiliate, because humiliation means going beyond one's duty, and it is a slap in the emperor's face.
Many eunuchs fell down and died because of this.
Ma Shunde thought carefully in his mind and showed a faint smile. He was not smiling at King Lu, but at Eunuch Zhao - the news he reported to the emperor several times was bad news. He was loyal, but he would be disgusted by the emperor.
Once a domestic slave is hated, who will be left behind?
