Ximen Hao looked around and saw that besides his two maids, they were Liu Sheng and An Duo.
"Eunuch Wu, these are my confidants and will not be in the way."
Wu Sheng nodded and then said:
"His Majesty ordered: Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want, but don't make the mistake bigger. After all, if some things are spread, the impact will be bad."
Ximen Hao was stunned. Did Ximen Potian know about the midnight assassination? But why didn't he show up?
"Your Highness~ Your Highness?"
"Oh~ah! Yeah~ Got it."
Ximen Hao nodded.
"..."
Wu Sheng was speechless. This was the first time he saw someone taking His Majesty's orders like this.
"Eunuch Wu, did your Majesty know something last night?" Ximen Hao asked.
Wu Sheng glanced around, suddenly put his mouth to Ximen Hao's ear, and whispered:
"To be honest, Eunuch Hai came to see Your Majesty early this morning, and Your Majesty then gave you a verbal message."
"Eunuch Hai..."
Ximen Hao thought of his old father-in-law who was so elusive that he couldn't see the truth clearly.
The other party gave me two choices at the beginning, and I chose to avoid the edge temporarily.
That day I felt that this old guy was something special. He turned out to be an old eunuch from the Three Dynasties.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask this old slave: What happened here last night?" Wu Sheng asked in a low voice.
It's not that he is curious, but something that can alarm Eunuch Hai must be a big deal.
Ximen Hao smiled slightly, but his face instantly turned cold, and he said solemnly:
"In the middle of the night, a large number of ghost warriors came to assassinate this prince! You see, I was also injured, and more than a dozen of the royal guards died! Since His Majesty agreed, don't blame Master Hao for being cruel!"
He deliberately exaggerated his casualties in order to make himself more like a victim.
"Ghost? No wonder, no wonder even Eunuch Hai came forward."
Wu Sheng finally solved the doubts in his heart.
However, remembering the oral instruction just now, I leaned into Ximen Hao's ear again and said:
"Your Highness, when I came here, I heard your Majesty mutter: This matter is a test question. If Your Highness completes it, you will win the round."
Ximen Hao narrowed his eyes, flashed a bright light, and said secretly:
As expected, the emperor's thoughts cannot be guessed. It seems that the so-called civil and military guidance cannot be fully believed!
"Thank you, Eunuch Wu, for reminding me. Some trivial things are not disrespectful."
As he said this, a white jade bottle was thrust into the opponent's hand, containing five third-grade Peiyuan Pills.
Regardless of whether the other party uses it or not, it’s all your own.
Wu Sheng's face was overjoyed and he did not refuse. Because he had long wanted to make friends with the eldest prince, otherwise he would not have told him what was not dictated by the emperor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will resign first. Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, you can go ahead and do it without any taboos. However, please don't put the ghost's affairs on the crown prince's head, otherwise things will get bigger.
.After all, ghosts are evil creatures.”
After saying that, he saluted Ximen Hao and turned around to leave.
Although he knew that Ximen Hao understood the meaning of the oral instruction, he still reminded him that it represented his attitude.
"Thank you, Eunuch Hai!"
Ximen Hao looked at Wu Sheng's retreating figure, and his energy gradually became brighter.
The corner of his mouth curled up and he ordered:
"An Duo, please invite the military advisor and the others to come over. You and I will go to the Prince's Palace with me. Oh, by the way, prepare a sedan chair."
"Yes, Your Highness."
…
"Squeaky~squeaky..."
The sedan chair carried by the four royal guards rose and fell with the footsteps, making a slight "squeaking" sound.
It is said to be a sedan chair, but it is actually a large soft chair with two wooden sticks inserted into it. Of course, the prince's sedan chair is still very comfortable.
Ximen Hao was sitting on the sedan chair, holding the kitten-like Mo Lin in his arms, with his eyes slightly closed.
Liu Sheng and An Duo led the way with six Jin Yiwei in the front, and hundreds of Jin Yiwei followed closely behind.
Ji Wubing and Ji Mengmeng rode on the wind wolf and followed, while Yu Ji and Da Ji stayed in the Great Prince's Palace.
The procession walked on the bluestone road leading from the Grand Prince's Palace to the Prince's Palace. The maids, eunuchs, and guards who passed by all knelt down to salute.
The morning sun has already risen. Today is not the morning sun, so the palace looks quite lively. From time to time, you can see some concubines taking the princess to play.
"Mengmeng, is the palace fun?"
Ximen Hao closed his eyes slightly. According to the memory of the eldest prince, he was still somewhat familiar with this palace.
"It's not fun, don't let it fly." Ji Mengmeng said with a little pout.
"Haha~ Of course you are not allowed to fly. If you try to fly on a big eagle, you will be shot down by the Imperial Guards."
Ximen Hao stroked Mo Lin's jet-black scales and looked at the palace with squinted eyes.
It looks luxurious and majestic, but it’s not a prison?
"Mengmeng, don't talk for a while, just listen to your cousin, you know? Otherwise, if His Highness doesn't give you a lollipop, I will ask my father to take you back!" Ji Wubing threatened.
"I know! Little sick chicken! Huh! I said it eight times!"
Ji Mengmeng gave Ji Wubing a look of disdain, then squatted on the head of Gale Wolf, giving Ji Wubing a back look.
"Alas~"
Ji Wubing shook his head helplessly. To be honest, there was a way. He didn't want such a pure and cute cousin to get involved in this.
Suddenly, a team of about a dozen people came towards them. A young man in brocade clothes was sitting on a sedan chair, fanning a folding fan, looking very leisurely.
"My lord, he is the eldest son of the Wang family in Hongxi."
Liu Sheng ran to Ximen Hao and whispered.
"King Hongxi? My third uncle, the son of Ximen Dingtian?"
Ximen Hao opened his eyes. There were many princes in Qing Dynasty, but the most powerful one was King Ximen Wentian of Huainan, who was also his second uncle.
And Ximen Dingtian is the king of Hongxi, who is the king of Xiaoyao in the west of Qing Dynasty.
"Yes, Your Highness, I was lucky enough to meet him once the year before last. He is a charming and charming person, so I have an impression of him."
Liu Sheng said as the team got closer and closer.
"Well, go ahead, I understand."
Ximen Hao said, closing his eyes, searching for the memory of Ximen Dingtian's son in his mind.
According to the memories of the dead prince, this person's name is Ximen Qi, he is a libertine, he spends a lot of time and is good at everything.
Also, my father is a prince, I am a young prince, and I was granted the title of Marquis by His Majesty. He cannot live a happy life. I am really sorry for his current status.
"Hey! Whose sedan is that? Get out of the way! How dare Qingfenghou's car block it?"
Ximen Qi's head guard pointed at the Jin Yiwei and shouted. After all, the Jin Yiwei had just arrived at the palace, and most people didn't know what the Feiyu suit represented.
"Liu Sheng, whose dog is barking?"
Ximen Hao closed his eyes, acting as if he didn't know anything.
Liu Sheng hurriedly saluted:
"Your Highness, this person calls himself Marquis Qingfeng."
"Ha~ let them step aside." Ximen Hao said with a faint smile.
