Shu Blossoms

Chapter 291
Zheng Wei asked Liniang to prepare the carriage to send Xiao Yucheng back to the Xiao Mansion, and she took Yue Zhao, Yue Rui and Ji You back quietly through the hole in the palace wall.

On the way back, Zheng Wei found out that there really were thieves who dared to trespass into the palace, and it was probably not an easy way.

Now the palace is getting more and more chaotic!
She discussed with the three of them how to deal with interrogation by the crowd after returning to the palace, and then covered the hole more concealed, and asked Jiyou to act as if nothing had happened after returning, and would find an opportunity to transfer him to Yanhe Hall in the future.

Ji You knelt down and swore, Zheng Wei took the prince and the second prince to Yanhe Hall.

At this time, half a day has passed since Zheng Wei followed the trail they left before to find the palace, and the day has already begun to tilt westward.

When a panicked and anxious servant in the palace saw Zheng Wei scolding two young children with a serious face, his heart trembled, his lips trembled for a long time, and his slender voice resounded through half of the palace: "Prince, Second Prince, found Already!"

It was only a cup of tea, King Ling and the others rushed to Yanhe Hall in a hurry, and saw the crown prince and the second prince standing in the hall with only one layer of unlined clothes, holding a cup of tea in each of their flat hands. A bowl of rice and a stack of boiled vegetables.

Zheng Wei was holding the ruler in his hand, reprimanding them with a serious face, "This is your dinner tonight, if the rice and vegetables in the bowl are knocked over and fall before the hour, you will be hungry tonight."

King Ling waved his hand to make everyone wait outside the hall, he walked in alone, frowning, and asked Zheng Wei in a deep voice: "What is Wei'er doing?"

Zheng Wei bowed deeply to King Mausoleum with a painful face, and said guiltily: "As the prince's teacher, I have been enlightening the prince and the second prince in martial arts for half a year, but the effect is very little, and I almost put the prince in danger. I am deeply ashamed that the great Zhou society is in a dangerous place. I am determined to strictly practice the duties of the prince's teacher from now on, and urge them to practice martial arts. I don't want to control the enemy, but I can protect myself."

Zheng Wei's words not only compared the imperial palace to a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, but also vaguely accused him of not managing the imperial palace well while waiting for the emperor to rule.King Ling's face was as dark as ink, and he asked coldly, "What happened? Why are the prince and Rui'er so strict when they are young? Where did you find them?"

"I found them in the deserted courtyard to the east of the Leng Palace. When I found them, these two brats were sleeping soundly!"

Zheng Wei gritted his teeth and glared at them, before explaining to King Ling bitterly.

"It's time for them to be mischievous, but this time it's really over. The king ordered all the imperial guards to search the palace. They should be reprimanded!" King Ling spoke righteously, and then pleaded cautiously, " You should be scolded, you should be punished, but you have to give food, the child is growing up!"

King Ling interceded, the crown prince and Yue Rui nodded repeatedly, looked at Zheng Wei with teary eyes, and were very grateful to their uncle in their hearts.

Now they finally understood that apart from giving a reasonable explanation to everyone in the palace, Zheng Wei's main purpose was to punish them for leaving the palace privately and putting themselves in danger.

But they didn't dare to intercede, they could only hope that King Ling's words would work.

It's a pity that Zheng Wei was unmoved, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty was able to guard Jingkou by himself at the age of four, these two don't want His Majesty's wisdom and courage, but they also have to defend this great country, and now they can't even protect themselves , how will you take on the big responsibility in the future!"

King Ling saw her mentioning self-defense twice and again, so he pulled her aside and asked quietly, "Don't play sloppy with my little uncle, tell me what happened?"

Zheng Wei said: "The two of them pretended to fall into the water today not only to avoid the adults, but actually encountered an assassin!"

"Is there really an assassin?" King Ling was shocked. His current position is too dangerous. Regardless of his high position and weight, he is too easy to be plotted against by jealousy. If the crown prince encounters an assassin in the palace, he will be the first to be criticized.

What's more, today he sent people to search the palace for a day, and he didn't even see the shadow of an assassin.

Zheng Wei nodded, the prince and the others were being targeted by the assassins, so they thought of pretending to fall into the water to escape, just happened to be discovered by the Yue Lord, they took advantage of the chaos to escape to the East Palace, but they did not expect to be discovered again.Then he fled from the Lenggong in a panic, but luckily met a clever servant on the way, managed to scare away the assassins, and took them to hide in the small courtyard.

The little servant didn't know their identities, and thought they were servants from some palace, seeing that they were free, he went to work on his own, but they were so tired that they fell asleep.

It was also fortunate that the two of them were lucky enough not to be discovered by the assassins, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Four points of Zheng Wei's words were true and six points were false, but just these few points really scared King Ling into a cold sweat.

Zheng Wei herself thought of those people in the West Market again, and was even more afraid. If she wasn't in the palace at this moment, with these people looking at her, she would want to beat up these two brats.

"Wei'er, Uncle knows that you are worried about them, but haste makes waste, and Concubine Shu doesn't know about today's matter, if it gets to them."

"I know Uncle, I just punished the prince and the others because I was afraid that the empresses and the queens would be worried if they made a big fuss. In this way, everyone in the court and harem would think that what happened today was due to their mischief, and it was no big deal. We can deal with what happened today. Slowly and secretly investigate! Second, you won’t startle the snake! It’s just that someone has to be responsible for today’s incident, and I’m afraid it will be the case.”

King Ling nodded, "Recently he is indeed a little arrogant, let's leave Beijing to hone his skills!"

The uncle and nephew reached an agreement in this way, and it is not known what they planned in their hearts.

Zheng Wei was still thinking about Xiao Yucheng, after punishing the crown prince and the second prince, he hurriedly left the palace and went to Xiao's mansion.

King Ling looked at the unconcealable worry on Zheng Wei's eyebrows, and always felt that this girl still had something to hide.

"A San" Ling Wang watched the prince divide half of his share of rice and vegetables to the second prince, and the two carefully ate the only meal with relief on their faces, and walked to the hall. Wai Chong shouted, "Go and find out where Princess Danyang has gone today?"

The person named Ah San was the personal guard of the King of Ling. Hearing this, he clasped his fists to accept the order, but was stopped before he could leave, "Forget it, you go and call Mu Wu. This king is waiting for him in the side hall of Xianyang Palace."

Ah San was stunned, a little confused, and the King of Ling smiled bitterly: "This girl is very clever. Today, the two people I sent to follow her were found out, and even sent them away. There was a misunderstanding. This girl is very angry now, if you go and be discovered by her again, I'm afraid you will really turn against me."

Ah San didn't know Princess Danyang well, and she was a little unconvinced when she heard what King Ling said, but she didn't refute, and turned and left silently.

King Mausoleum didn't have his own palace in the palace, so a small side hall was set up next to Emperor Zhou's bedroom behind Xianyang Palace to live in, so it was convenient for him to take care of Emperor Zhou on a daily basis.

He went back to Xianyang Palace to visit Emperor Zhou first, in fact Emperor Zhou fainted again yesterday, although he didn't know why His Majesty refused to allow Luo Yan to heal him, but the situation of Emperor Zhou really worried him.

Unfortunately, at this time, the genius doctor Luoyan left Jiankang.

"Brother Emperor, I am ashamed to treat you!" King Ling knelt in front of Emperor Zhou's couch, looking at his pale face with shame on his face.
