It seems that the Eighth Prince really does not plan to come to Chui Gong Palace today...
In the Chui Gong Hall, the three Zhongshu ministers waited until the afternoon but did not see the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun show up. This was obviously a happy event worthy of celebration, but for some reason, they felt inexplicably disappointed. △
Speaking of which, their work efficiency in assisting the emperor in approving seals today was also unusually low. During working hours, they would inevitably turn their heads and look at the window to see if the ridiculous eighth prince was smiling as usual.
Hold them.
Unfortunately, there was no figure of the Eighth Prince Zhao Hongrun at the window.
Loneliness... They actually felt an inexplicable loneliness.
What a bitch...
Zhongshu Zuo Cheng, Lin Yuyang, laughed at himself.
As a bachelor, he had been assisting the Emperor of Wei in handling affairs in the Chui Gong Hall for several years, but this was the first time he had other things on his mind.
Turning to look at Yu Ziqi who was opposite him, Lin Yuyang found out in amusement that this colleague seemed to be seriously reviewing and approving the seals, but in fact, the pile of seals in front of him had not decreased at all.
Looking at Zhongshu Ling He Xiangxu again, Lin Yuyang felt that the spirit of this old man was really not very good today. His eyes were confused and he needed to drink tea from time to time to refresh himself. How could he kneel in front of the Emperor of Wei and beg for help a few days ago?
Half the vigor of rural times?
...what a bitch.
Lin Yuyang couldn't help but shook his head as a self-mockery for people like them.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the current emperor of Wei who had been behind the Long Case say something faintly.
"It seems that Hongrun doesn't plan to come today..."
Lin Yuyang faintly felt a strange atmosphere, as if the emperor mentioned the Eighth Prince Zhao Hongrun, and his Lin Yuyang and the other two colleagues in the palace suddenly became energetic.
"Your Majesty, please don't let down your guard!" He Xiangxu reminded him while stroking his beard.
"Wei Chen thought that His Highness the Eighth Prince would never give up..." Yu Ziqi also followed his usual opinions.
Hey hey hey, are you so spineless? When you were teased by His Highness the Eighth Prince a few days ago, you all looked very annoyed...
After thinking about it, Lin Yuyang couldn't help but say: "I think that the Eighth Prince is most likely considering the next step!"
The four monarchs and ministers looked at each other and laughed in tacit understanding.
As they talked and laughed, their efficiency in handling government affairs actually improved.
Looking at this scene, the eunuch Tong Xianshi couldn't help laughing, but he didn't dare to laugh, so he had to lower his head and hold it in hard.
I don't know how long it took, but a eunuch hurriedly walked into the Chui Gong Hall and knelt down in front of the Dragon Case with a bang.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. His Highness the Eighth Prince is fighting with Chen Shuai."
Chen Shuai from Youzhi Palace?
His Majesty’s favorite Chen Shuai?
Why did His Highness the Eighth Prince fight with Chen Shuai? Although His Highness the Eighth Prince behaved strangely, he did not seem like a prince who would do such a treasonous thing.
The three Zhongshu ministers all pricked up their ears to listen. Although this matter was the emperor's family matter and they were not qualified to intervene, this did not prevent them from eavesdropping.
"Chen Shuai?" Zhao Yuanci, the emperor of the Wei Dynasty, put down the brush in his hand and asked in confusion: "Why did Hongrun fight with Chen Shuai?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch Tong Xian whispered: "Your Majesty, this old slave may know something about this..." After saying that, he led a group of maids from Youzhi Palace to Ningxiang Palace this morning.
The incident of meeting Concubine Shen Shu was told to the Emperor of Wei.
Few people know that the eunuchs under the leadership of the great eunuch Tong Xian, in addition to being in charge of the large and small palaces, halls, pavilions and other places in the palace, are actually a supervisory agency whose role is to assist the emperor in supervising the entire palace.
any disturbance.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Emperor of Wei may not know about the things that happened in the palace, even if they were extremely hidden and dirty things, but they may not be able to hide them from the eyes of the eunuch Tong Xian.
"Chen Shuai went to the Ningxiang Palace of Concubine Shen Shuai before noon?" The Emperor of Wei was such a keen emperor. He knew what had definitely happened during this period when he heard it. After all, he had been slightly involved in Chen Shuai's charming and unruly temperament.
of.
According to his inference, Chen Shuai most likely did something in Ningxiang Palace before noon, so the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun came to visit her in the afternoon.
"Tong Xian, go over and take a look." After thinking for a while, Zhao Yuanci said calmly.
"Yes." Tong Xian bent down and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, aren't you coming?"
"I...I won't go through." The Emperor Wei glared at Tong Xian displeasedly, thinking to himself, aren't you trying to embarrass me?
Also, one party is Chen Shuai, whom the Emperor of Wei usually loves most, and the other party is his eighth son Zhao Hongrun, who he has become more and more fond of recently. It is said that the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. How do you want the Emperor of Wei to judge this matter?
It's better to stay out of the matter and let Tong Xian take charge of it.
Tong Xian resigned respectfully.
He was not stupid enough to ask such stupid questions to the Emperor of Wei. He was just testing the Emperor, wanting to know whether the status of Chen Shuai or the Eighth Prince Zhao Hongrun was higher or lower in the Emperor's heart.
Only by clarifying this point could he handle the matter in accordance with the emperor's wishes.
However, the emperor's answer made Tong Xian secretly shocked: the always naughty eighth prince Zhao Hongrun, in just half a month, his status in the emperor's mind has rapidly increased, to the point where it is difficult for the emperor to make a choice.
Not to mention that the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty, Zhao Yuancai, was anxiously waiting for the news in Chui Gong Hall, and that Tong Xian took the young eunuch who came to report the news and dozens of patrolling guards they met on the road. A group of people rushed to Youyou anxiously.
Zhi Gong.
After burning incense, Tong Xian hurried to Youzhi Palace, but as soon as he stepped into the front hall, the chaotic scene in the front hall almost made him stunned.
As one of the most beloved concubines of the Emperor of Wei, Chen Shuai's Youzhi Palace had quite luxurious decorations and furnishings, but what did Tong Xian see now?
He was shocked to see that the front hall of Youzhi Palace was smashed to pieces. Except for the pillars of the main hall, all the other decorations and furnishings were smashed.
His Highness the Eighth Prince actually...
Tong Xian had no time to think about it because he heard something that shocked him even more.
"Your Highness is injured!"
"Chen Shuai openly committed murder and attacked His Highness!"
What? His Highness the Eighth Prince is injured?
Tong Xian became more and more anxious. Seeing the messy heads in the palace, he quickly took out the emperor's jade and golden order from his arms and shouted in a high voice: "Stop! Your majesty's jade and golden order is here, please stop it!"
The commotion in the hall finally stopped, and they took a closer look at the jade medal and golden order held high by Tong Xian, and they quickly knelt down and worshiped the room.
Only then did Tong Xian see that Chen Shuai, who had always been so proud, was slumped on the ground with a face full of horror. In the entire palace, only the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun stood there proudly.
"hiss……"
Tong Xian took a closer look at the Eighth Prince Zhao Hongrun and gasped in horror because he discovered that Zhao Hongrun's neck and face were actually covered with several blood stains. He could tell at a glance that they were scratched by a woman's nails.
Combined with the fact that Chen Shuai was slumped on the ground with a frightened look on her face, Tong Xian had roughly guessed it.
"Your Highness? Hurry, call the imperial doctor quickly..."
Seeing that Zhao Hongrun seemed to still have the intention to kneel down to the jade medal and golden order in his hand, Tong Xian was shocked and quickly put away the golden order, stepped forward to support the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun, and shouted anxiously to the guards in the palace.
The prince's appearance is revealed, this is a huge event!
However, as the person involved, Zhao Hongrun still had a calm attitude and said to Tong Xian with a smile: "This matter is not urgent. Eunuch Tong must have come here on the order of his father."
?”
Upon hearing these words, Chen Shuai seemed to have found her backbone. She stood up from the ground with a groan, pointed at Zhao Hongrun and said through gritted teeth: "Eunuch Tong, the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun has no regard for respect and etiquette, and went to the Youzhi Palace of this palace to commit murder...
…Look at my Youzhi Palace, how it was smashed into something?...Where is Your Majesty? I want to see Your Majesty!”
"..." Looking at the disheveled Chen Shuai who looked like a shrew, Tong Xian couldn't help but have a headache. He turned to look at the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun and said cautiously: "Your Highness, Youzhi Palace is Chen Shuai's palace. If you smash it like this, it will be wrong."
It’s a great deal…”
"Smashed it?" Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "Where did it get smashed in this palace?"
"This is not..." Tong Xian looked at the messy front hall and hesitated to speak.
As if he had guessed Tong Xian's thoughts, Zhao Hongrun said without changing his expression: "Oh, I just accidentally slipped my hand."
"Slippery..."
Before Tong Xian could understand, Chen Shuai cursed angrily: "This is revenge! In revenge, I broke one of Concubine Shen Shu's valuables before noon... No, I accidentally slipped and broke a worthless one of Concubine Shen Shu'ai.
Porcelain jar, this is revenge! Revenge!"
Tong Xian's expression suddenly became weird when he heard his hand slipping twice.
The great eunuch who could serve the emperor was certainly not an incompetent person, and he could naturally guess some of the truth behind the matter.
It was simply that Chen Shuai, relying on His Majesty's favor, arrogantly went to Concubine Shen Shu's Ningxiang Palace and did something that displeased the Eighth Prince Zhao Hongrun. Therefore, the Eighth Prince immediately brought Zong Wei over to take revenge.
Yes, revenge!
Tong Xian glanced at Zhao Hongrun in embarrassment, "Your Highness, even if his hands were slippery, he wouldn't have turned Youzhi Palace into this, right?"
"Haha, of course, not only my hands slipped, but my feet also slipped, my whole body slipped, and even the guards behind me also slipped... Ah, just like Chen Shuai said, unintentionally
It’s a loss, right?”
** Naked revenge...
Tong Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head. He originally thought that the Eighth Prince would just quarrel with Chen Shuai, but he did not expect that the quarrel would be so big. Not only was the entire front hall of Youzhi Palace completely destroyed, but even this
His Highness the Eighth Prince also suffered the injury of disfigurement.
How should I deal with this?
Tong Xian suddenly had a headache and said cautiously: "This matter is of great importance. I don't dare to make a decision rashly. How about..."
He wanted to say that it would be better to wait for His Majesty to decide in person, but unexpectedly, Zhao Hongrun interrupted him.
"It doesn't matter that Eunuch Tong is unable to make a judgment, because His Highness has already notified the Zongfu, and the people from the Zongfu will arrive soon."
Zongfu?
Tong Xian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He looked at the scars on Zhao Hongrun's face and opened his mouth slightly.
It's over, this matter is going to be a big deal...
