"Grandpa, grandpa?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
Yu Ziming nodded, and his mood suddenly became low again. He said to Yu Xiao: "I'm leaving. I won't be able to see my grandpa anymore."
Who is Yu Ziming's grandfather? Yu Xiaoxiao thought about it for a while before she remembered that this little boy's grandfather is Zhao Qiuming. She paused for a moment. Yu Xiaoxiao was embarrassed. If she ran to Zhao Qiuming's house, would she be unable to hold back and set the house on fire?
Yu Ziming hugged Yu Xiaoxiao's neck, his little face close to hers, and called her softly, "Big Sister."
Yu Xiao: "Really thought about it?"
"Well," Yu Ziming said, "I want to go play with my cousin."
Yu Xiaoxiao was always willing to fulfill children's wishes. She carried Yu Ziming on her back and turned around, heading towards the Zhao Mansion next to Deyi Winery.
At this time, a team of imperial guards set out from the Imperial Palace. The leading general sat upright on his horse, holding the imperial edict in one hand, and led his subordinates to ride towards the Zhao Mansion.
Gu Xinglang was carried out of the Gu Mansion by Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei. Just as he was about to get on the carriage, Gu Xingnuo chased him out of the mansion. He looked at the person who was going out with Gu Xinglang and said, "Xinglang, what are you going to do?"
Gu Xinglang said: "Enter the palace."
Gu Xingnuo said: "The emperor has summoned you to the palace again?" Isn't it a bit too frequent for the father-in-law to see his son-in-law?
Gu Xinglang waved to his elder brother.
Gu Xingnuo bent down.
Gu Xinglang whispered to Gu Xingnuo, "The princess brought the Sixth Prince to the mansion last night."
Gu Xingnuo staggered and fell into Gu Xinglang's arms.
Gu Xinglang said: "The princess sent the Sixth Prince back to the palace. I have to go and see him."
Gu Xingnuo said, "The princess brought the Sixth Prince to our house? What does the princess want to do?"
There are too many truths in this matter to be explained in a few words. Gu Xinglang said to Gu Xingnuo, "Brother, wait until I come back and we'll talk. The princess has no intention of harming the Sixth Prince."
Gu Xingnuo weighed it in his mind. Taking the prince out of the palace secretly should be a capital crime, right? No, if the princess ran into the palace at night and entered the palace without an imperial decree, wouldn't it also be a capital crime? Ah, then Young Master Gu thought of it again. It seems that his princess's sister-in-law has entered the palace without an imperial decree many times. Young Master Gu then realized that he had a sister-in-law who was committing capital crimes every day.
"Brother," Gu Xinglang said, "Did you ask someone to call my second brother back?"
The corner of Gu Xingnuo's mouth twitched, and he finally remembered to ask the second brother, "I sent someone early in the morning. I will go to the palace with you," Gu Xingnuo turned around and ordered the servants in the mansion to prepare the horses.
Gu Xinglang said: "Brother, are you going too?"
Gu Xingnuo said: "I feel uneasy if I don't follow you."
When Marshal Gu received the news that his eldest grandson and youngest grandson were going out together, the old man rushed to the door, but the two brothers had already gone far away.
The old man stood at the gate of the mansion and asked the housekeeper: "What are they doing?"
The two young masters spoke in low voices, and the butler didn't hear a word, and shook his head at the old man.
The old man ordered the butler, "Send someone to chase them and see what they are doing."
The butler replied "yes" and immediately sent people to chase the two young masters in the mansion.
The old man walked towards the mansion angrily, muttering: "Everyone is a worry to me!"
At this time, the old man didn't remember that his second grandson was still running for his life outside.
Yu Xiaoxiao and Yu Ziming followed the principle of marching in a straight line and stopped at the back door of the Zhao Mansion.
There was a lot of noise in the front yard of the Zhao Mansion at this moment, with many people shouting and a woman crying.
The brother and sister tilted their heads and listened for a while. Yu Ziming asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "What is that sound?"
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't think the sound was too miserable. When humans encounter zombies, their screams are much more miserable than this. "It's okay," Yu Xiaoxiao said to Yu Ziming, "Don't you want to play with your cousins? I'll take you in to find them."
After hearing from his eldest sister that everything was fine at his maternal grandparents' home, Yu Ziming felt relieved and nodded his little head.
Yu Xiaoxiao carried Yu Ziming on her back, tapped the ground with her toes, and jumped over the high wall of the Zhao Mansion and entered the Zhao Mansion.
"The eldest princess is so awesome," Yu Ziming applauded Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at where she was standing. It looked like a garden with pavilions and terraces. "Where do your cousins live?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked Yu Ziming.
"I don't know," Yu Ziming said. It was also his first time to visit his grandparents' home. In the past, it was always his cousins who came to the palace to play with him.
When Yu Xiaoxiao heard that Xiao Douding didn't know where his cousins were, she said, "Then let's find someone to ask."
"Okay," Yu Ziming listened to his sister.
In the front yard of the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Qiu Ming finally experienced what it felt like to sit at home and wait for disaster to come. Kneeling on the ground, thinking over and over again the imperial edict that Emperor Xianzong had reprimanded him, Prime Minister Zhao asked the general of the Imperial Guards in a daze, "Is the Sixth Prince not in the Imperial Palace?"
The general looked at Zhao Qiuming. He was not Zhao Qiuming's man, but the general did not want to offend Zhao Qiuming. Today, Concubine Zhao angered the emperor, but maybe one day Concubine Zhao would coax the emperor back to peace. The general bowed slightly and whispered to Zhao Qiuming, "Prime Minister, this matter is of great importance. You should return the Sixth Prince to the palace as soon as possible."
Zhao Qiuming turned his head and looked at his three sons who were kneeling with him. Did his sons sneak Yu Ziming out of the palace? Do his sons have the ability to do this? If his daughter wanted to save the Sixth Prince, she couldn't have not told him as a father.
The three young masters of the Zhao family knelt with their heads lowered, not making any eye contact with Zhao Qiu Ming.
No, Zhao Qiuming looked at his three sons and suddenly got startled and asked, "Where is your eldest brother?!"
The three Young Master Zhao looked at each other and shook their heads. They had not seen their eldest brother since last night.
Zhao Qiu Ming broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that Zhao Beicheng's second son took Yu Ziming away?
The general of the Imperial Guards also noticed that the eldest son Zhao was gone, and looked at Zhao Qiu Ming and said, "Prime Minister, if you can't hand over the Sixth Prince, then I will search the mansion."
The Zhao family was kneeling on the ground. When the general said this, the prime minister's wife started crying again. Wasn't this search of the mansion equivalent to a confiscation of the property? Half an incense stick ago, she was still the prime minister's wife, and in the blink of an eye, she was going to be a prisoner. No woman could bear this kind of gap.
When the Prime Minister's wife cried, all the women in the Prime Minister's Mansion started crying.
"Prime Minister?" The general of the imperial guards stared at Zhao Qiu Ming and asked.
Zhao Qiu Ming quickly calculated the pros and cons in his mind, gritted his teeth and said to the general: "I didn't see the Sixth Prince yesterday. I want to see the emperor. There must be a traitor who wants to harm the Sixth Prince!"
The general heard this and thought, "Well, the father and daughter said the same thing, but who would believe it? Who has the ability to take a little prince away from the palace without an insider? If this really happened, the imperial palace would become a vegetable market, and wouldn't all of them who were guarding the imperial palace be beheaded by the emperor?"
