Chapter 363 Xu Jian didn’t say anything (two updates in one)

Eunuch Guo stood by the couch with his head bowed, a little confused by Li Shao's sudden question.

Just by looking at the prince's expression, Eunuch Guo couldn't guess his emotions. It seemed like he was just asking casually. But if he really answered casually, Eunuch Guo thought, he would probably cause some trouble.

And he didn't want to cause trouble.

The incident in the paddock just happened yesterday, His Highness is still ill, and Attendant Feng was taken away. At this moment, is there any movement in the East Palace...

Your Highness is the biological son of His Majesty, and Eunuch Guo is not Eunuch Cao’s biological son.

Eunuch Cao chose him to work in the East Palace, and he became a straw bag. From then on, he could only go to the imperial garden to sweep leaves.

"Your Highness," Eunuch Guo asked, "What did Feng Nei do?"

Li Shao glanced at him.

Eunuch Guo gritted his teeth and continued: "Eunuch Cao came to take him away in person. Maybe it's something serious..."

Li Shao snorted: "I am in the same group as Wang Liu for six years."

"Ouch!" Eunuch Guo's face suddenly turned pale, and he was frightened for a moment.

He only heard that Feng's wife was stirring up trouble, but he didn't know that the other party had such a big background.

Such a person is lurking next to His Highness...

Fortunately, he and Mr. Cao filed a complaint, otherwise, it would be really over.

"Well done!" Guo Eunuch said, "Those with ulterior motives must be dealt with by Eunuch Cao. No matter who files the complaint, they should be sued!"

Li Shao just wanted to find out the situation and had no intention of settling accounts with the person who complained. Just now he was hasty in talking and directly exposed Feng's servant. Now seeing that Eunuch Guo seemed really surprised and frightened, he turned his back on him. The doubt went to three points.

How should I put it, no matter who it is, people related to Wang Six Years cannot be retained.

Chenmi Hutong had already suffered a loss. Li Shao was really itching to deal with Dao Heng and Li Mi.

However, Concubine Feng is Concubine Feng, and Eunuch Guo is still Eunuch Guo. It is impossible for Li Shao to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him.

"One person sneaked in, and there might be a second one. Since you are the manager of the East Palace, you might as well sort out the manpower quickly to avoid having any accomplices," Li Shao said.

Eunuch Guo naturally agreed.

Li Shao changed the topic and said: "But in this case, I am missing someone by my side."

Eunuch Guo hurriedly asked: "Is there anyone in the East Palace group who is compatible with His Highness?"

"No," Li Shao said directly, "If there are any, how can I still let the servant Feng take the lead? It's better to pick a few more suitable ones."

Eunuch Guo thought for a while and said, "I will report it to Eunuch Cao."

Eunuch Cao couldn't get over this matter, and Li Shao knew it too, so he didn't care about it with Eunuch Guo. He just said, "Tell me, should I go visit Xu Jian?"

Eunuch Guo:...

To be fair, that's quite appropriate.

If Eunuch Guo is asked to tell him, he has to show up not only at Fu Guogong's palace, but also at Yulin's place. Even if His Highness doesn't go there in person, asking him to go there and send some money for drinks and tea is still a sign.

But Eunuch Guo was really afraid of Li Shao. If he didn't do anything nice, His Highness suddenly came up with another idea and caught him off guard.

"You are right," he followed first, and then said, "But we have to wait until your body recovers. If you go to visit despite your illness, the Duke of Guo will be frightened, and the Holy Spirit will not be worried."

Li Shao curled his lips.

Xu Jian would be panic?

"Okay, you can quit, I need to take a rest."

Hearing this, Eunuch Guo bowed and excused himself. When he got to the corridor outside, he still had people watching over him, and he hurriedly went to the imperial study room again.

Now that the matter has come to this, Eunuch Cao must at least be able to see that even though he may be confused in his actions, he is loyal and does not dare to lie in any way.

When he arrived outside the Imperial Study Room, he subconsciously felt that something was not right about the atmosphere.

From the imperial guards to the chamberlains, everyone was tensed, and there was a sense of boredom about the coming rain.

Eunuch Cao came out to see him: "What does your Highness have to say?"

Eunuch Guo looked at his nose and his heart: "Shi Feng was taken away, and His Highness wanted to add a few more people to the East Palace. His Highness also mentioned that he would visit Duke Fu."

Eunuch Cao raised his eyelids: "Is that what His Highness said?"

Eunuch Guo nodded.

Instructing him to wait, Eunuch Cao went inside and talked to the Holy One.

The Holy Master rubbed his brows, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

I was so worried last night that I barely got any sleep, and today I had big things on my mind. I was extremely tired, so I had to prepare strong tea.

No matter how good the tea leaves are, they can't resist being spoiled like this. They taste so thick and bitter that they taste bitter and have no sweet aftertaste.

"It's okay to add more people. Let him draw up a roster and then look at the selection."

"If he wants to see Xu Jian, just go. You can go see Lin Yu later and let him get to know Xu Jian."

"Tell Chamberlain Guo that I met Lin Yu and San Gong again in the afternoon. The clouds are gathering in front of the emperor. Let Shaoer think about it again."

Eunuch Cao glanced at the Holy Emperor quietly and sighed in his heart.

No one can dissuade the Holy Spirit from doing anything he has decided to do.

When choosing people, you no longer choose those who are sensible, but those who have ulterior motives.

Check with Duke Fu and let him reveal more or less what he knows and what he doesn't, so that His Highness can think and guess.

Let His Highness ponder in the unknown, which will eventually lead to a "reasonable and well-founded" deposed prince.

Arrangements were made step by step, and the person walking on this road was His Highness who was at a loss, but the most heartbreaking thing was undoubtedly the Holy One who was holding His Highness's hand and walking forward.

We can only hope, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

His Highness has been able to grow up quickly after going through such hardships, so he has failed to live up to His Majesty's good intentions.

Eunuch Cao agreed and withdrew to explain to Eunuch Guo carefully.

Eunuch Guo didn't really get any clues about the first two, but for the last one, he immediately understood why "a storm is coming".

"Eunuch Cao," Eunuch Guo licked his dry lips, "This... the danger in the paddock was not His Highness's intention."

After saying that, thinking of the servant Feng, he asked carefully in a low voice: "Is that really the same person that Wang was with for six years?"

"Otherwise?" Eunuch Cao chuckled, "Otherwise, how could the Holy Sage be so angry?"

Eunuch Guo scoffed: "That's not His Highness..."

"You can't recognize people clearly," Eunuch Cao interrupted Eunuch Guo, "The Holy Shang is angry about this."

Eunuch Guo said no more and hurried back to the East Palace.

Li Shao didn't sleep peacefully. Instead, he felt a headache. There seemed to be a muscle twitching in his head, which made him frown.

After hearing Eunuch Guo finish speaking, Li Shao glanced at him: "You are quite fast."

Is this a compliment?

Obviously not.

Eunuch Guo listened in one ear and out the other, pretending he didn't understand Li Shao's sarcasm: "Before you choose a new person, someone still has to follow you."

"Whatever, I'll go see Xu Jian tomorrow," Li Shao said, and then asked, "Why did the emperor summon Chengyi Bo and San Gong to discuss how to tear Feng's mouth open?"

Eunuch Guo said bravely: "The other party plots against you again and again. This is provoking the Holy One. The Holy One will definitely not sit idly by."

Li Shao didn't ask any more questions.

After nightfall, the wind and snow started again. Eunuch Guo didn't dare to fall asleep. He got up almost every two-quarters of an hour to check on Li Shao's condition, fearing that he would get fever again.

Fortunately, the night was relatively safe and nothing happened.

Li Shao rested for a day and went to court again.

The Holy One only asked about his health and nothing else.

Li Shao followed him into the Jinluan Hall and sat on the small throne.

Although he didn't come yesterday, Ge Yushi went to the East Palace and scolded him again. Li Shao thought he had received a good meal and could calm down today, but he didn't know that it would get worse this morning.

Some of them were kicked out by Ge Yushi yesterday and had no chance to perform. Some of them smelled something from Sangong entering and leaving the imperial study, and they all started to "discuss the matter."

There was no scolding from Ge Yushi, but the victory was due to the large number of people. After you sang, I came on stage and trained Li Shao over and over until his face turned red.

Li Shao was sitting on pins and needles.

For the first time, he knew that sitting on this little throne would be so uncomfortable.

He turned to look at his father beside him. His father had a sullen face and a serious expression. He was in a bad mood, but he had no intention of interrupting.

Li Shao listened to the training for almost an hour.

Lin Yu stood in the queue, his eyes flickering between the Holy Emperor and the Crown Prince, and then back again.

The things in the court are all firewood. You and I take the firewood. Xu Jian is the barrel of oil. He pours it back on the firewood and lights the fire again...

The matter handed over to Xu Jian by the Holy Spirit was really difficult to handle.

Having said that, what Xu Jian wanted to do was originally extremely difficult and dangerous.

After finally making it to the next court, Li Shao went to the Duke Fu's Mansion with a sullen face. When he got off the carriage, his face was still ugly.

Xu Jian is in the flower hall.

Lin Yunyan led him in, and Li Shao saw Xu Jian lying on the couch at a glance.

"Can't stand up?" Li Shao asked.

"It's true that I can't stand up," Xu Jian sat up straight and saluted, "I hope your highness will forgive me."

Li Shao clicked his tongue.

He had great opinions on Xu Jian, but it was boring to fuss over these small things: "Then just sit down."

Lin Yunyan prepared tea and asked: "Where is His Highness? I heard that His Highness had a fever after returning to the palace. I thought at that time, could it be that the conditions in the paddock were limited and the doctors were in a hurry and did not find that His Highness was actually injured? Otherwise, everything was fine. Why is it so hot?"

Li Shao:......

This is funny.

He was still being polite, but Ning An started to show off his teeth and claws at him.

"According to what Ning'an said, I can't be sick anymore?" Li Shao asked her.

Lin Yunyan pursed her lips: "You are the Crown Prince. You are the most important thing in everything. I don't dare to let anyone get hurt at all. I am afraid that the ministers will not protect you well. If something happens, I have to make things right for you. .”

Li Shao was stunned for a moment, and before he could reply, he saw Lin Yunyan reaching out and landing on Xu Jian's injured leg.

"The Duke's old injury has not healed yet, and he suffered from severe cold."

What he said was no longer intentional, it was clearly straightforward.

Li Shao's face turned blue and white: "You are so angry today, Xu Jian didn't say anything..."

"What can he say?" Lin Yunyan said, "Even how he was injured in the first place, I had to ask him again and again before I found out about the ugly Yin Mao!

Otherwise, I would really think that he got injured after playing Xiliang.

Your Highness, it is difficult to save people. The battlefield is ever-changing and no one knows which side the hidden arrows are coming from. The blind bear is a beast. If there are not many forest guards, we cannot take it down.

The Duke of the State saves you, not to mention once or twice, even twenty or thirty times, it is only natural and right, but there are always times when people are unable to do anything, what if it happens? What if something happens again and he can't save you?

If you are injured, your own losses are not counted, but those who are with you will have to compensate you.

I don’t want to go to Cining Palace and kneel down to cry, begging the Queen Mother and the Holy One not to make me a widow. "

At the end of the sentence, Lin Yunyan's eyes turned red, tears gathered in the corners of her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled and were about to fall in the next moment.

Xu Jian seemed to have a lot to say, but couldn't say it. He could only hold Lin Yunyan's hand and clasp her fingers tightly for comfort.

Li Shao was speechless by this call.

It's not like he was angry or annoyed, he was just a little confused.

He knew that Ning An was definitely not as docile as his father and the Empress Dowager saw him. He knew that Ning An and Xu Jian were originally on the same team. What Ning An kept saying was probably not Xu Jian's instruction. But when he really listened to it, Li Shao still had mixed feelings.

Maybe it's because of Ning An's expression of whether he wants to cry or not?

No wonder he is quite capable of making the Empress Dowager pamper her.

It's like the excerpt Xu Jian wrote to his father, a routine!

Li Shao saw it clearly, but couldn't refute it.

He was not good at discussing merits and demerits with women. Of course, no matter what Xu Jian said, Li Shao would not be able to win verbally. Xu Jian's yin and yang attitude would only make him angry to death.

"It seems," Li Shao stood up, "I came to the wrong place this time."

"So what, is it the right time to come?" Lin Yunyan asked, "Does the Duke insist on going to court tomorrow, or do I go to Qianbu Corridor and say that his worsening injury has nothing to do with you? It's just bad luck. , met a blind bear."

"Isn't it bad luck?" Li Shao's anger surged, "This debt should not be placed on me."

Lin Yunyan sighed and said: "It doesn't matter what you are angry about, just don't be angry with the Holy Father anymore. I heard from my father that the Holy Father was angry and sad yesterday, and he was very disappointed in you.

Now that you have come to the Duke's Mansion, you might as well go to Prince An Yi's Mansion, and then go to the Royal Forest to reward you. There are so many people rushing to rescue you. It doesn't matter if you are really grateful or fake. At least it is just a whitewash, which can stop those who are using the topic as a pretext. His mouth asked the Holy One to be purer.

You think so? "

Li Shao got up and left.

Lin Yunyan sent him out all the way, talking non-stop: "I feel unhappy, so I just muttered a few words like this. The most important thing for Your Highness right now is to make His Majesty happy, but you should know how to calm His Majesty..."

After sending the person away, Lin Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Yesterday, her father came again after leaving the office, and the news he brought surprised both her and Xu Jian.

The Holy Emperor actually had the idea of ​​"deposing the prince".

It is true that it is just a means, but if they can really take this step, it is an opportunity for them.

If the Holy One wants to be deposed, of course they, who are informed, must do a good job of fanning the flames.

Xu Jian was a courtier, so some things he said were not easy to say. If he said it too much, it would be a hidden danger. Lin Yunyan was a female family member, but she didn't have to worry about it. It was no big deal if she really cried. She grew up in the palace, and it was not like she didn't cry in Cining Palace. Pass.

Anyway, it was impossible for them to be on good terms with Li Shao. It didn't matter whether her complaints and grievances were true or false. Just ignite the fire.

Of course, if it weren't for the purpose of stimulating Li Shao, Lin Yunyan would never have said this at this time.

On the other side, Li Shao left the Duke Fu's Mansion, feeling quite depressed.

Go to Uncle An Yi's Mansion or to the Royal Forest Army?

If Ning'an hadn't mentioned this, he would have gone, but Ning'an was neither yin nor yang, which was very annoying.

The chamberlain asked cautiously: "Your Highness, are you going back to the palace?"

"Not going back," Li Shao said, "go to Prince Jin's Mansion, no, not going anywhere, just wander around the city first..."

　Suddenly I realized that I had already passed one million words, which was really not easy...
