Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 296 Officials (2)

In the outer study room, Ye Shusheng had already arrived, and was sitting drinking tea alone. Mr. Yao just sat down and picked up the tea bowl. Following the call from the servant outside, the fourth prince strode into the upper room with a chill all over his body.

Ye Shusheng hurriedly stood up, stepped forward to remove the cloak for the fourth prince, the fourth prince cleaned his hands and face, took a sip of the tea soup from the young servant, waved his hands away from the young servants, looked at Yao Xianggong and said: "I have sent an order from the palace. Come here and tell me that the weather is cold and Dad is not in good health, so the suburban welcome will be waived, and all officials will welcome him in the forbidden area."

"This is also the reason." Yao Xianggong frowned, thought for a moment before opening his mouth and said: "But if you think about it in one place, but don't think about it, the temper of the official family has always been to be greeted... "Yao Xianggong's words are very meaningful, and Ye Shusheng tasted it, and he was so excited that he could hardly restrain himself.The fourth prince looked melancholy, and listened to Yao Xianggong's words absent-mindedly. After a long while, he sighed and responded with an 'um'. Regarding the matter of Jiaoying, he was thinking and deliberating while talking, and he said slowly: "It seems that the official family's illness is not optimistic... Alas, the courtiers are most afraid of this time, but what can be done? After all, the official family is on the verge. In my old age, I fought in the north for years, and my body was seriously injured. Although I dare not think about some things, I have to think about it..."

Yao Xianggong stared at the fourth prince who was dazed and sad, and his face was getting more and more sad. He kept adjusting his emotions and confessed, but Ye Shusheng became more and more impatient. He frowned and looked at Yao Xianggong, thinking that he was really old-fashioned. , At this critical moment, why are you still saying these useless words?They are not just looking forward to the official family's collapse at this moment!If the official family collapses at this moment, and Shou Wang is thousands of miles away, although he holds the military power, he is restrained by the Marquis of Chang'an, and the fourth master is in charge of the country. Succession is very legitimate, and the emperor is in the fourth master's pocket!Seeing that many years of hard work are about to succeed, this is an urgent moment, so Yao Xiangfen should hurry up and get down to business, why is he talking all this hypocritical nonsense?
The fourth prince looked blankly out of the dark window, and was dazed for a while, the pain on his face gradually eased, he sighed, turned to look at Mr. Yao and said gently: "Mr. It is the reincarnation that mortals cannot escape, so what can we do? Sigh! Don’t mention this, let’s talk about how to deal with it tomorrow.”

"Yes!" Seeing the fourth prince's current attitude, Yao Xianggong felt relieved, hurriedly bowed his body slightly, and said casually and respectfully: "The order from Li Palace is reasonable, and all officials are in the forbidden room to see you, but we can't wait in the forbidden room The fourth master and the official family are both monarchs and ministers as well as father and son. It is reasonable to go out of the city early to greet them. The official family's car has already arrived at the ban. The master will leave early tomorrow, and Chen is welcoming Wulipo. On the way, the fourth master will do whatever If you want to see the official, or have a word or two with the official, if the official is... well, even if you can't suffer from the cold and don't summon the fourth master, you can still have a half-sentence with the fourth master through the curtain Words, if you can't even say words..." Yao Xianggong stared at the expression of the fourth prince, and sighed worriedly: "Oh, what the fourth master said is very true, there is no way for people to die, old age, sickness, and death. On the way, I found out how sick the official family is. If the official family is healthy, everyone will be happy. If there is something wrong with the official family and the car enters the forbidden area, no matter what, we must block it and point it out. You must not let the traitors deceive the world, do something wrong with it, and miss the succession of the military and the country!"

"En." The fourth prince nodded in agreement. Ye Shusheng became more and more nervous the more he listened, and his nervous body straightened up. Hearing this with all his attention, he hurriedly asked, "What about us? We have to welcome them out together, right?"

"Hmm..." Xianggong Yao looked at the fourth prince thoughtfully, and the fourth prince thought for a while and said, "You don't need to go, Prime Minister Yao, it's inappropriate for you to go. Da Lang will welcome you out with me."

"What the fourth master said is very true." Yao Xianggong quickly clapped his hands and agreed: "Waiting in the confinement is to abide by the duty of a courtier, and welcoming the outside of the city is the relationship between father and son with the fourth master, and the filial piety with Ye Dalang, this arrangement is perfect. .”

"There is one more thing to be on guard against." Ye Shusheng Fuzhi suddenly said in his heart: "Grandma often says that you have to think a little more about everything. The officials are so talented, thoughtful, and have far-reaching and unpredictable thoughts. I have been healthy for a long time, but I want to excuse my illness to see the filial piety of the masters, so we are like this, don’t you just jump into this well?" Xianggong Yao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and closed his lips tightly with Ye Shusheng slanting Without saying a word, he also thought of what Ye Shusheng said, but how could he say it?There are some words that everyone knows but must never say!Ye Shusheng said these words!Didn't the shrewd ancestor in their house teach him this?Alas, the Ye family is withered!
"Officials have cheated to death more than once before..." Seeing that Yao Xianggong turned his head vigorously and pretended not to hear, the fourth prince lowered his eyelids and his face was expressionless, Ye Shusheng couldn't help adding another sentence, this sentence Almost choking Yao Xianggong out of his internal injuries, he hurriedly let out a violent cough, interrupting Ye Shusheng's words behind him, Ye Shusheng also immediately felt a slip of the tongue, and was extremely embarrassed at once, wishing he could slap himself, what you said is good, why? Add the last sentence?Alas, he was so nervous and excited today that he blurted out such outrageous words!
"In the past it was a last resort." The fourth prince lowered his eyelids and said coldly: "People are strong and I am weak, no matter how tough and arrogant father is, he has to wrong himself, but father." The fourth prince paused, looked at Mr. Yao, He glanced at Ye Shusheng again, and his voice was firm and unusual: "I will never cheat death with my son! Don't mention such things again! You will wait for me at Chenzhou Gate tomorrow, and you don't have to pick me up here." The fourth prince Lengli His eyes swept over Ye Shusheng and said this sentence, Ye Shusheng didn't dare to speak out, so he hurriedly stood up and bowed in agreement.

Yao Xianggong carefully changed the topic, and discussed with the fourth prince in detail several plans to block the driving for a long time and other important matters. It was not until the third o'clock that Yao Xianggong and Ye Shusheng left the Jian'an County Prince's Mansion one after the other. each go back.

The next day, the sky was not even white, and the fourth prince was dressed in court clothes. He went out of the mansion and got on a horse. Just as he turned out of the alley, a small green car parked not far from the alley suddenly poked out a cup of colored glass. Xiao Deng, the guards were taken aback. Just as they were protecting the fourth prince, before rushing to the front of the car, they saw a little lady poking her head out from behind the glazed lamp, waving her hands and shouting crisply: "Cousin It's me! Twelve Niangs! It's me!"

The fourth prince looked in surprise at Ye Twelve Niang who jumped off while holding on to the car barrier, and subconsciously turned her head to scan around. Liuli Xiaodeng looked up at him and said, "Cousin, I have something important to tell you! Can you come down, just for a while, just for a while!"

"Okay." The fourth prince glanced at the sky, agreed to get off the horse, looked at Ye Twelve Niang and asked first, "Why are you here? Shou..."

"Cousin, please don't ask this, I'll talk to you later." Ye Shiriniang lifted and lowered her toes, and interrupted the fourth prince's words in a worried and anxious way: "Cousin, Tian Tian is seriously ill again. It's serious, thieves broke into her house the day before yesterday, have you heard about it?"

"A thief?" The fourth prince raised his heart when he heard the phrase 'very serious', and answered Ye Twelve Niang's words without hesitation: "How could the palace be invaded by thieves?"

"Yeah, that's what I said too! It is said that the servants guarding the corner gate drank too much and forgot to lock the door, and a few drunken rogues broke into the palace. Mammy Xiong said so in the yamen , but I don’t think that’s what Xiong Mama means. Besides, Sister Tian is not the kind of delicate Didi who can’t stand things. Lifting, I can’t lift it either! But Sister Tian got sick from fright, no, it’s because she was so frightened that she became very sick all of a sudden, she was very sick! Alas, you didn’t see it, tears came out when I saw it, I can’t stop it! When I went to see her, she was sleeping on the kang, curled up in a ball like this, she was so skinny, she kept talking drowsily that she was afraid, that someone was going to kill her, and called for help. She woke up, and when I questioned her, she said it was a dream, and refused to say a word, but Sister Tian was really sick. For a while, I saw her very sober, as shrewd as before, but for a while , she was dazed in a daze, and when I asked her something, she would be in a daze, pinching the beads on the corner of her veil and shaking her head non-stop, when I got angry and pulled her veil off, she would cry Yes, crying makes people very sad. She told me not to go back to Ye’s house. She said that the grandma would really kill me. She said that the grandma would kill her as well as me. She also said, let me beg you, say Only you can protect me, only my cousin can protect me, I know it even if she doesn't say it!"

Ye Twelve Niang almost didn't catch her breath as soon as she finished talking, she couldn't hold it anymore and finally took a long breath, took a few more breaths and said: "Cousin, if you can protect me, you can definitely protect Sister Tian too. Right? You need to save Sister Tian, ​​she will be scared to death like that, and she won’t be able to live any longer!" Ye Twelve Niang was tearful, and the fourth prince’s hand holding the rein was trembling, and his cheeks were twitching again and again. But unable to speak, Ye Shierniang became anxious, stomped her feet, passed the glazed lamp in her hand to the side, rushed forward, grabbed the fourth prince's cloak and shouted: "Cousin, you Save Tiantian, she is too pitiful, you can't watch her die, can you?"

The fourth prince's cheeks twitched a few times, looked at Ye Twelve Niang, and opened his mouth a few times before speaking hoarsely: "You, you tell her, let her rest assured, with me, no one can Don't move her a little bit!"
