"Your Highness," the little maid replied while kneeling, "but now, the palace has been locked. Your Highness, if you don't wait..."
"Wait a shit."
The Second Prince glared at her. Even if the palace gates were locked, would the servants dare not open the door with him holding the prince's badge?
joke!
At worst, he'll get scolded later. It's not like he hasn't done something like this before.
The second prince hurried out of Chengqian Palace and ran towards the palace gate.
When the carriage reached the main gate, a guard stepped forward and saluted, saying, "The Emperor has decreed that no one is allowed to leave the palace after the palace gates are locked."
The tone is stiff and unreasonable.
"How dare you! You are blind. The Second Prince is in this carriage. Why don't you get out of here?" the eunuch Majia who was driving the carriage spat loudly.
They followed the Second Prince and felt that they were superior to others, so they never took the small gatekeepers seriously.
In the past, as long as they mentioned the Second Prince’s name, these people would respond with a smile.
Coincidentally, the guard on duty today was a young man named Han Shi. In his opinion, the emperor was guilty of the same crime as the common people, and no matter whether you were a prince or a concubine, you had to follow the rules.
Han Shi was originally an imperial guard, but was demoted here because he was stubborn and inflexible. Today is his first night on duty.
He immediately became angry when he saw the arrogant look of the young eunuch in front of him. He stepped closer, his eyebrows raised, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "Say it again?"
Han Shi practices martial arts every day, so his body is stronger than the eunuchs. When he gets angry, his power is even greater.
The people in front of them who were pretending to be powerful were much softer. Although they were arrogant, their eyesight was first-class. They could not afford to offend the people in front of them.
He didn't want to lose face, so he extended his orchid finger and said, "You, you, do you know that the person sitting in the car is the Second Prince? Open the door quickly."
"The imperial decree states that no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace after the palace gates are locked," Han Shi said word by word.
Ma Jia pursed his lips and looked around. Oh my god, what a hell, this is really a ghost, and they are really blocking him!
He had never encountered such a thing while following the Second Prince. Ma Jia patted his head. He wanted to scold but didn't dare to, as he was afraid of being beaten.
Ma Jia took a look at the other person's figure, then touched his chest, fearing that he could not withstand two punches from the other person. Well, a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him!
When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain his reason clearly!
Ma Jia had no choice but to call for help. He turned around and listened carefully to the movement inside.
A snoring sound was heard...
Well, this is the end!
It was a bit awkward for a moment.
If the Second Prince woke up and found that he had not even left the palace, he would definitely be beaten. So he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, put on a smile and walked forward, "The Second Prince has an urgent matter and needs to leave the palace. Brother guard, please be flexible."
As he said this, he took out a purse and stuffed it into Han Shi's hand. In this world, there is no road that cannot be opened with money.
But he soon stopped laughing because Han Shi grabbed his arm and said, "You are so bold to bribe me so openly."
Ouch, this, this, this... Vest was waving his hand holding the purse in the air. What was he saying?
He was also angry and pulled his arm away suddenly, "Are you going to drink a penalty drink if you don't accept my toast?"
The two of them were arguing and woke up the Second Prince. He lifted the carriage curtain and squinted his eyes. "Are we there yet?"
"Your Highness, this guard is stopping us from leaving the palace," Ma Jia said as if he had found his backbone and ran to the second prince.
What?
The second prince opened his eyes, but hasn’t left the palace yet?
He jumped down and kicked Han Shi in the stomach. Han Shi was not prepared for this move from the second prince and took two steps back in pain.
The second prince stepped forward and kicked a few more times, but he just moved his feet without making any sound.
Han Shi was so stunned by the kick, what kind of person is this Second Prince? He had heard of the Second Prince's nickname of "Little Bully" before, but when he saw him today, he was indeed unreasonable.
Ma Jia was watching from the side, and all the frustration he had just felt was gone. He felt very happy. This was how he deserved to be taught a lesson. He deserved to be punished!
After fighting for a while, the second prince was also tired. He pulled out a short knife from his waist and put it on Han Shi's neck. "Either open the door or die."
In the darkness, two figures shuddered and almost rushed out.
Han Shi lost his previous toughness and nodded in panic. If he did not agree to the Second Prince, the Second Prince might really kill him!
After the second prince's carriage left the palace, Li Lei and Zhou Min ran out. The three of them were on duty tonight.
They had been observing secretly for a long time, just wanting to see what Han Shi would do.
"Brother Han, how is it? You always say that rules are more important than anything else," Li Lei said, pointing towards the door with a meaningful smile.
Zhou Min also smiled and shook his head, "Brother Han, there is no such thing as rules or no rules in this world. It all depends on the person."
Han Shi was about to retort when Zhou Min raised her hand and interrupted him, "If it was the emperor who wanted to leave the palace tonight, would you stop him?"
"Believe it or not, our boss has to go and pay his respects to the Second Prince tomorrow," Zhou Min said.
Han Shi was so stunned that he couldn't utter a word in rebuttal.
…
At the eldest prince's mansion, the second prince was led all the way into Xiao Conghui's courtyard.
The palace maids served hot tea.
"What's the matter? Why are you here so late at night?" Xiao Conghui walked out.
The Second Prince didn't waste any words and went straight to the point. "Royal brother, I heard that the heavenly book left by Taoist Wuji is in your hands?"
Xiao Conghui was confused. What was the Taoist Wuji's heavenly book?
Seeing Xiao Conghui's confusion, the Second Prince stepped forward to explain, "It's true. It contains many strange and bizarre records... It was given to you by the abbot of Xiangguo Temple..."
After a long conversation, Xiao Conghui finally understood that it was the book. It was not given to him by the abbot. It was when he went to the south of the Yangtze River and returned to his residence in the middle of the night. He met an old Taoist in black clothes who insisted that he would be extremely rich in the future and gave him a book called "Su Cheng".
It recorded many strange things. When Cheng Xuan came back, he liked it and gave it to him.
After Xiao Conghui understood, he was speechless. He didn't know where his brother heard this from and why he came here specially for such a serious matter.
"Royal brother, we are brothers. I only have one mother... If anything happens to her, how will I live? You must save her," the second prince said pitifully.
When he saw Xiao Conghui hesitating, he thought he was reluctant to give it to him.
The second prince added a scene for himself.
He was silent for a moment, his eyes turning red, as if he was about to cry... He looked at Xiao Conghui affectionately, wanting to say something but stopping himself...
"I know there are rumors that my brother and I are competing for the position of Crown Prince... But this is a fight between us men, and we can't harm innocent people... My mother's life is in danger..."
"I already know the situation that day. With so many people present, the imperial concubine chose to stab the queen. Do you dare to swear to heaven that she didn't do it on purpose?" Xiao Conghui interrupted the second prince's performance.
Um?
this?
The Second Prince's eyes rolled around. This definitely wasn't intentional, right?
He was not sure, and he also knew the methods used in the harem.
"So, only if my brother rescues my mother can we get to the bottom of this. If my mother dares to assassinate the Empress, she will be punished according to the law and will not be tolerated."
In a hurry, the second prince said this.
Xiao Conghui was a little surprised. This guy reacted quite quickly!
"At worst, I won't compete with you for the position of crown prince," the second prince looked at Xiao Conghui aggrievedly.
Xiao Conghui, "..."
