577 is just in time
The second prince thought that Ping An had arrived just in time, so he didn't have to bother looking for someone.
Sun Sicheng's heart skipped a beat. Why did Ping An come? But then he thought that the Second Prince had no intention of hurting him for the time being, so he probably wouldn't hurt Ping An either.
But after all, I have fallen into the wolf's mouth, and I have no control over whether it bites me or not.
Ping'an followed the Crown Prince on the journey. The banquet venue was not close to the Emperor's bedroom, and ordinary people were not allowed to take a carriage. Ping'an and the "little eunuch" were of course among the ordinary people.
"We'll be there soon, just ahead." The prince wiped his sweat. He regretted putting on makeup like this, otherwise he could have come here by car or sedan chair.
But then he thought, after walking such a long way, no one could recognize him. I believe that his father and grandfather would not be able to recognize him either.
Ping'an looked at the palace not far away. That was the Qianqing Palace, the emperor's bedroom. Ordinary people were not allowed to come here without any reason. Logically speaking, he should have been a little inappropriate today.
There were eight guards standing at the palace gate, each of them was tall and strong, and obviously they were all good fighters.
His heart was beating like a drum and his steps slowed down.
The grandson turned around and said, "Hurry up, it's right in front. Hehe, are you scared? Are you afraid that my royal grandfather will punish you?"
Ping An glanced at him and said, "Your Highness, we have arrived at the place I am looking for. Come behind me and don't run around."
The prince raised his chin and said, "Wan Ping An, you dare to order me?"
Having said that, the man still stopped and followed him.
Forget it, just give way to him. He will be your teacher in the future, and it’s okay for a student to give way to his teacher.
I don't know what Wan Ping'an looks like. He never follows the rules. He shouldn't be so casual when talking to the crown prince.
Forget it, just let him go. I am still the "eunuch" at the moment.
"Stop, who are you? What are you doing here?"
"Brother Guard, I am Wan Ping'an, Sun Sicheng's apprentice. My master was picked up by Eunuch Zhuo yesterday. I want to meet him. This is the eunuch next to the crown prince. He is here to lead the way for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a eunuch in his twenties walked out of the room and said with a smile, "Are you the Earl of Ping'an? I am the eunuch Zhuo. It is indeed me who brought your master Sun Sicheng here. He is now treating the emperor in there. Please come in with me."
He pointed at the grandson and winked at the guards on the side: "Take this young eunuch away. He doesn't need to come in."
Ping An was such a smart person that he didn't miss the look from Eunuch Xiao Zhuo, who was not going to leave anyone alive.
He hurriedly smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhuo, I will go to the banquet in a moment. I really can't go back without him after all these twists and turns."
Eunuch Zhuo smiled faintly: "Mr. Ping'an, you don't know the way, would I not let someone take you?"
Ping An pulled the grandson and said, "Don't bother Eunuch Zhuo. He's going back anyway, so why not wait for me for a while?"
"Okay, come in then."
Ping'an faintly heard someone in the room humming deliberately, and when Eunuch Zhuo heard the sound, he agreed.
He regretted provoking the grandson. Would it be better if he didn't come with him? But now that he was here, he could only be a little safer by following him. Otherwise, he might die if he went out.
The matter is most likely true.
If he could go back alive, he would spend an hour every day studying the two thick books given to him by the abbot.
Learning this thing can save your life to a certain extent.
The prince was still holding Ping'an's hand, which made him feel a little strange, because even his parents rarely held his hand, let alone outsiders.
Ping'an pulled the grandson into the house.
After entering the hall, he found that there were seven or eight people in the hall, both civil and military generals, all staring at him, and there was no one he knew among them.
Having said that, he was very busy this year. Apart from the imperial examination, he went back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and then he worked in the Hanlin Academy and edited books. There was no need for him to get to know too many people.
The Crown Prince also noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange, and he moved closer to Ping An.
The Palace of Heavenly Purity is very large. This hall alone can accommodate more than a hundred people. In the hall is the emperor's desk, which is very large and imposing.
Ping An stopped and asked Eunuch Zhuo beside him: "Excuse me, Eunuch Zhuo, where is my master?"
Eunuch Zhuo smiled with a fake smile: "Master Wan, just follow me. Master Sun is busy in the emperor's bedroom."
Ping An thought so too.
Sun Sicheng stood up when he heard the footsteps.
The second prince chuckled, "Don't be nervous, my dear. Ping An is a top-ranked person who is rare in decades. I am still waiting for him to make great achievements for me in the future."
After a while, Eunuch Zhuo came to report: "Your Highness, Wan Ping'an has arrived, and with him came a young eunuch under the Crown Prince's command."
"Come in."
The Crown Prince frowned. This voice was not his father's. Besides, if he wanted to call him father, he should call him His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Who was this?
Ping'an's heart really hit rock bottom. During the days when he was performing surgery on the Crown Prince, he saw the Crown Prince many times. This was not the Crown Prince's voice, but he had never seen the other princes. He heard that they were present on the day of the palace examination, but they didn't dare to look up at that time.
Ping An led the Crown Prince inside. The inner hall was large, but he no longer had the heart to admire the beautiful carvings of dragons and paintings of phoenixes.
He saw his master, who was standing beside the emperor's bed, looking at him with a sad face.
The master seemed to have lost a lot of weight overnight and looked very haggard.
Ping'an felt distressed all of a sudden, and his heart strangely calmed down.
The master doesn't have much kung fu and is old, so he has to hold on.
"You are Wan Ping'an. I saw you riding a horse in a parade once before, but I didn't see it clearly. You really look like him. You are really a handsome man."
Ping'an saw a young man sitting on a chair nearby. He was looking at him lazily, smiling faintly, and was indescribably suave.
His appearance is almost as good as Wang Qing's.
"Master Wan, this is the Second Prince, why don't you quickly pay your respects?"
Second prince?
The legendary second prince who is well-read and elegant?
It is true that the dogs that don’t bark are the most likely to bite.
Ping An bowed deeply, and the Crown Prince was pulled by him to bow as well: "Wan Ping An pays respects to the Second Prince."
"Ping An, stand up. No need to be polite. I like music, chess, calligraphy and painting the most. I am amazed by the sketching you taught those people in the Dali Temple. Unfortunately, you didn't have enough time to teach them. None of them learned even one tenth of what you did. Please come back and teach me."
This sound is the one that is said to make people pregnant.
To be honest, the crown prince is also a handsome man, but compared with the second prince, he is much inferior in appearance.
"Second Prince, sketches cannot be considered formal paintings. They are nothing."
Doctor Huang came over with a tray and said, "Second Prince, here is the medicine for His Majesty."
Ping An saw that his master was looking at him eagerly.
He bowed to the Second Prince and said, "Second Prince, can I go over and pay my respects to Master?"
