First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 166 His son (three shifts)

   "Thank you, Brother Xiao, I can finally have a good year, and I will see you next time!" A supervisor of the Imperial College sent Xiao Liulang out of the house.

  This person is Feng Lin’s classmate, one grade lower than Xiao Liulang, he walks near the back door, and his literary talent is not good. But on New Year's Day, there are many relatives in the family, and they always call him to say a few words. With the poems written by Xiao Liulang, he is not afraid that he will not be able to answer them.

  Xiao Liulang is a poem based on his level, which is neither too exaggerated nor too low in price.

   "Stay away." Xiao Liulang didn't let the other party send him away, so he left the house.

  The sky is gloomy and it seems to be colder than before.

  Xiao Liulang went to get on the carriage and headed to the house where Gu Jiao was visiting.

  The woman saw him and said to him: "That person has already left. She said to buy candied haws from the other side."

   She said, and pointed to the sugar shop diagonally across from her.

  This is a time-honored syrup shop, run by a Jiangnanese. The business in the capital is unexpectedly good. Xiao Liulang also visited when he was a child, but at that time they didn’t sell candied haws.

  Xiao Liulang came to the shop and found that he had changed the boss.

  The original boss is getting older and enjoys a good fortune in the backyard. Now it is his son who has come out to do business.

   "Boss."

  Xiao Liulang greeted him, and just wanted to find out if Gu Jiao had been here, he heard the other party yelling, "Are you looking for someone?"

  Xiao Liulang was slightly startled.

  Is it written on his face that he is looking for someone?

The boss hadn’t taken Gu Jiao’s words to heart earlier, but when he saw Xiao Liulang’s first glance, he couldn’t help but remembered Gu Jiao’s sentence, “If a good-looking teenager comes to me in a while, it’s best to look at it. Kind of, you let him wait for me here."

   Speaking of a sentence and a text, this is the "moshang people like jade, the son is unparalleled" in the reading population.

   is really good.

   is so good that it makes people think that this person should only be in the sky.

  "How do you know?" Xiao Liulang asked.

  The boss smiled and said what Gu Jiao had said.

The best looking?

  Does she say that about herself?

  The corners of Xiao Liulang's lips curled up in an arc that he didn't even notice. After a while, he looked at the boss and said, "Did she say what to do?"

  The boss shook his head: "I didn't say this."

  "About how long have you been away?" Xiao Liulang asked.

  The boss thought for a while: "It's been a while, my candied haws are almost sold out."

  Xiao Liulang's eyebrows frowned slightly. The two had known each other for so long, and she had never let him wait. Xiao Liulang could not figure out where she would go, what she was doing, or even not coming back so late.

   A trace of anxiety passed in his heart.

  He looked at the boss: "Which way did you see her go?"

  The boss pointed: "It seems to be that inn."

  Xiao Liulang went to the inn.

  As soon as I entered the lobby, I heard two diners discussing.

  "Have you heard of it? There is something wrong with Qingfeng Music Hall."

   "Did you say that the newly opened music hall? What happened?"

  "It seems that the house has collapsed. Alas, it used to be a wine cellar. There were too many pits dug under the ground. I said it would collapse sooner or later!"

  Xiao Liulang's uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious.

   "Is anyone crushed in it?"

   "Yes, I heard it's a woman!"

  Xiao Liulang had never heard of Qingfeng Leguan, but they said that he understood the wine cellar. There was indeed a wine cellar on this street. It has changed hands many times, and it has always been selling wine.

  I haven’t seen each other for a few years, has it turned into a music hall?

  Xiao Liulang walked towards the Qingfeng Music Hall.

  At a distance, he saw the people outside the music hall full of people. It seemed that something really happened, and it was a major event, even officials came.

  The officials sealed off the scene, and the people had to stand on tiptoes and wait for it.

  There was chaos in the music hall. The guests were all cleared out, leaving only the two maids of the princess, the official staff of the yamen and the owner of the music hall.

  The owner of the museum knew that the person buried below was the prince, but the officials did not know it.

  After all, the princess is a microservice private business today. If people know that she has come to an unremarkable music hall, it will inevitably lead to speculation.

  If someone sees that one again, the princess will be even more confused.

  Although the two are not originally hostile camps, and there is no relationship between them, but the emperor is the emperor and the minister is the minister, so there should be no personal relationship.

  The maid said: "You hurry up and save people! It's too dangerous below! Can't keep my wife buried underneath!"

  The official **** called the owner of the museum: "What's the next?"

  The main road of the museum: "The bottom was originally a wine cellar, but I changed it to a basement in the back, usually for storage."

  The officer asked, "Is there only one basement? What's over there?"

  The master of the pavilion replied: "There is also a basement, it is very small, and it is used to store sundries."

  The officer looked at the messy scene: "Is there anyone in the small storage room?"

  The first maid said impatiently: "How come there are people there?"

  Has she checked?

  The second maid pulled her sleeve and motioned to her to leak her mouth.

  She coughed lightly and said, "Don’t you dare to linger, my wife is so uncomfortable underneath, you can’t even speak, haven’t you heard me?"

  I almost can't speak, which means she can speak.

  Yes, although she was buried under her head, she was not injured, and she was able to move slightly.

  Gu Jiao in the small storage room was in a much worse situation than her. Two stone slabs formed a horn to sandwich her in the middle, and a large stone slab was pressed on top of the horn.

Due to the gravity of the stone slab, the two small stone slabs are squeezing to the side, and the horns are getting bigger. When it becomes a flat angle, the huge stone slab above will completely press on her body, pressing her out of the brain. .

  This huge stone slab has one end pressed on Gu Jiao's side, and the other end is pressed on the Prince's side.

  Hanging all of them is too difficult and takes too long. The best way is to hang one end and save the princess.

  But this way, the small storage room over there will be completely crushed.

  The official said: "If you are sure that there is no one, you will start hanging the slabs."

   "Hold on!"

  Xiao Liulang walked in with his cane.

  The officer frowned: "Who let him in?"

  The guard at the gate was helpless. They didn't pay much attention to him when they saw that he was lame. Unexpectedly, he got in by himself in the blink of an eye.

  Xiao Liulang said sternly: "There are still people below."

  The maid said: "You are talking nonsense! Obviously no one!"

  Xiao Liulang said coldly: "If you don't believe me, listen."

  The officer signaled everyone to be quiet.

  He squatted down, attached his ears to the ground and listened. There really was a ding-ding-dong-dong sound, like a small stone hitting the wall, very weak.

  The officer hesitated.

  Since there are people below, then this method is one life for one life, which is too cruel.

  The maid said: "What are you waiting for? Save people!"

  The hour is getting late, and if you delay it, let alone the princess may be injured, the palace will also be suspicious.

The official sighed: "Girl, it's not that we don't want to save people, but that there are two people below. If you rush to rescue, you may crush one of them!"

  The two maids exchanged glances.

  The small storage room is so secretive, there shouldn’t be any talent, if there is, then it must be a spy who stays there and wants to deal with the princess!

  This kind of person, it's good to be crushed to death!

  Can save you from tarnishing the reputation of the princess!

  The maid said: "Who said that the following must be people? What kind of cat or dog? If you don't believe me, ask the owner, but someone has been to that small storage room?"

  The owner of the museum naturally said no.

  It's difficult for the official to make a mess.

  Judging from the regular percussive sound, it is unlikely that it is a cat or a dog. It is mostly an individual, or a person in a more critical situation.

   "Then do you have a better way?" First Maid asked.

  The official post is more difficult.

of course not.

  The maid squeezed her finger, negotiated with her companion in a low voice, and finally decided to reveal the identity of the East Palace.

  She took out the token.

  The official almost saw the Donggong token, and he was so frightened that he threw himself on his knees on the ground.

  The maid said: "To tell you the truth, the people from the East Palace are pressing down below. If you dare to let her have an accident in your hands, I assure you that the prince will let all of you be buried with her!"

  Listening to this tone, the other party’s status in the East Palace is not low. It may be a favored concubine, or a lover, or even—

  The officials dare not think about it.

  One is the young master of the East Palace, and the other is the common people. It is self-evident who should be saved.

  The officer ordered the people to prepare the stone slab for hanging the princess's end with ropes.

  Xiao Liulang's eyes were cold: "What are you going to do? Regardless of the other person's life or death?"

  Actually, he was not sure if it was Gu Jiao who was under the pressure.

  What if it is?

  He didn't dare to bet that in case.

  The official ambassador said earnestly: "Little brother, I know you have a good heart, but what is pressed over there is... a member of the heavenly family. We can't afford to pay for the destiny of the heavenly family."

  Xiao Liulang heard such words more than once, but at this moment, he realized the importance of status.

  Sometimes it's not that you can get better without fighting or grabbing.

  Because he is not standing high enough, no one hears the words of small clearance.

  Because he didn't stand tall enough, Gu Jiao's life was not as important as the people in the East Palace.

  Xiao Liulang clenched his fists little by little.

  His eyes are red and his whole heart is cold.

  The rope is already numbered over there, ready to hang the slab.

  Xiao Liulang suddenly threw away the crutches, jumped, and slipped down from the gap between the stone slabs.

  The official was almost taken aback: "What are you doing? You are crazy! The downside is dangerous! You come up for me! You all stop! Stop first!"

  The servants who were hanging the stone slabs stopped.

The maid was angry: "Stop what? Who told you to stop? He wants to die! What do you care about him! Doesn't he know it's dangerous? They are in collusion! They want to murder the prince! Are you too? Fight with them!"

  With such a big hat down, who can take care of the life and death of two ordinary people?

  Xiao Liulang looked back at the officer from the gap, and said coldly, everyone froze.

  ……

  On the endless stream, a seemingly inconspicuous carriage drove unhurriedly.

  Xuan Pinghou and Liu Guanshi sat in the carriage.

   Guan Shi also just ran into his own Master Hou and got into the other party’s carriage.

  Xuanping Hou said indifferently, "How's things going?"

   Guan Shi smiled with a guilty conscience.

  When he left the capital, he boasted that he would take the illegitimate child back home for the New Year. This is great, it will be New Year’s Eve soon, but the illegitimate child is not even willing to admit his identity.

  Xuanping Hou Man said casually: "If you do something wrong, just say it."

   Liu Guanshi scornfully said: "I know people, but the young master...may be so worried about the past and refuse to come back."

   "Yeah." Xuanping Hou gave a faint hum. He couldn't hear the joy or anger, "Just forget it if you don't reply."

  Xuanping Hou doesn’t love being hard.

   Guan Shi squeezed a cold sweat, okay, okay, he didn't fine him.

  Xuanping Hou generally does not punish his subordinates. People who are new to the house will think that this Hou Ye is different from the rumored person, and he is obviously very generous to others, and he is not angry with the subordinates.

  That's because, ah, the people who made Master Hou angry are dead.

   Those who survived didn't offend Master Hou.

  Hou Ye is actually a little moody.

  He can chat and laugh with someone one second, and then cut the person with the knife in the next second.

  Of course, Lord Hou is indeed very tolerant in most things.

  After all, without that measurement and pattern, he would not be able to sit where he is now.

   "Master Hou!"

  A guard came on horseback.

  Xuan Pinghou's eyes lightly lifted.

   Guan Shi knew, and stopped the carriage.

  Xuan Pinghou opened the curtains: "What's the matter?"

  "The princess had an accident. Not long after you left, the basement of the music hall collapsed. The princess was buried underneath. In addition, another person was buried in the storage room inside."

  There are people in the storage room. This is very important information.

  It means that the meeting between Xuan Pinghou and the princess has probably been broken by the other party.

  Xuan Pinghou's expression remained unchanged.

Guan Shi beside    was worried.

The guard continued: "The two people are pressed by the same big stone slab, and the officials can't lift it. They can only choose to lift the stone slab, save one, and then kill the other. The maid of the prince concubine revealed the identity of the East Palace. The officer decided to save the prince. At this moment, a scholar jumped down and said to the officer..."

  Speaking of this, the guard glanced at Xuan Pinghou, and stopped talking.

  Xuanping Hou Man said casually: "What? This matter is still related to the Hou?"

  The guard replied: "The scholar said, the other person buried under the ground...It's you, Lord Hou!"

  　 The end of the month, don’t waste your monthly pass.

  　　 will continue three shifts tomorrow.
