Chapter 343: Wild Horse on the Run
Xiao Tai suddenly asked, "Wait, who are you? Why do you have a shadow guard?"
Liang Ruoxu said: "Xiao Jue is the descendant of Princess Funing."
"Oh oh!" Xiao Tai suddenly realized: "It's you! You are the little monster..."
He pointed at him, Xinbao jumped up and covered his mouth. Xiao Tai turned around and saw the expression on Tuanzi's little face. It was so rich, as if it said "this uncle is so troublesome."
Xiao Tai shut up silently.
Yan Shenjue didn't say much and went out to find the shadow guard. Then the two of them set off overnight and rushed to the capital.
Liang Ruoxu picked one of his men who was slightly similar in stature to Xiao Tai, and gave him a beard, so that he could impersonate Xiao Tai occasionally.
Xiao Tai and his companion were both experts. They rode at full speed during the day and changed carriages at night to travel day and night. They reached the capital in more than ten days. At this time, the news from the shadow guard had already been delivered to the palace.
To be honest, this kind of "I have something important to tell you, don't tell anyone, find a place where I can only talk to you"... this kind of extremely unreliable message, if it were someone else, it would be strange that the emperor would pay attention to you.
But since the person who delivered the message was Yan Shenjue and Xiao Tai was also involved, Emperor Mingpei was not angry.
He set the meeting place at the Thousand Saints Temple in Jiaoyuan.
The Pepper Garden, also known as the Banana Garden, is located to the east of the Taiye Lake, across the moat, and is considered outside the palace. Normally, no one would go there. Only when the banana trees were in bloom would the emperor occasionally go there. So it was easy for the two of them to sneak in, and no one would think of Emperor Mingpei going there.
The two of them arrived the night before and waited at the Temple of a Thousand Saints.
They had been traveling together for such a long time, and it was not until this morning when they shared their dry food that they started chatting. The Grand Commander extended a loving hand and held his shoulder: "Hey, Xiao Jue, what is your specific name now?"
At this time, in the palace, Emperor Mingpei finished his morning court session, and the shadow guard reported in a low voice: "It was Prince Wu'an and a young man who sneaked in around 3:00 pm last night. There were only the two of them, and no one else came."
Emperor Mingpei nodded.
He trusted Xiao Tai and Yan Xuan, but as a king, he never did things simply based on trust.
It was not until almost noon that he suddenly had an idea and ordered his men to go to the pepper garden with a small entourage.
There were only a few young eunuchs left in the Pepper Garden to clean the garden, and they had been driven away by Fang Wuyou long ago. Fang Wuyou himself did not get too close. He was a man of few talents, and he did not know things that the emperor did not want him to know.
The Temple of the Thousand Saints has double eaves and a pointed roof, and its shape is elegant, but it is unprepared and a little dusty.
Emperor Mingpei turned around with his hands behind his back and looked at the statue. He could already hear a sound from the door behind him. Emperor Mingpei turned around and shouted, "Why don't you come out!"
Xiao Tai was so big, but he came out all of a sudden, and rushed over, hugging the emperor, shocking the shadow guards to the ground, and interrupting Xiao Tai's emotions. He was stunned with red eyes: "Huh?"
Emperor Mingpei had long been accustomed to his stubbornness. Seeing him with red eyes, he was both angry and amused: "Grown man! What are you doing! Okay, if you have anything to say, just tell me. How can I not make the decision for you? Let go of your hand!"
Xiao Tai said, "Your Majesty, I feel bad for you! I feel bad, aggrieved, and angry. It's been so many days and I still can't recover... But Xiao Jue is right. Your Majesty must be even more uncomfortable, aggrieved, and angry! I get angry for Your Majesty just thinking about it!!"
Emperor Mingpei had originally patted his hand to comfort him, but after hearing what he said, his expression suddenly became serious.
He said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
Xiao Tai opened his mouth and said: "The prince is a bastard!!"
Even the shadow guards froze in amazement, then quickly and silently retreated.
Emperor Mingpei did not move, his brows were deeply furrowed.
Yan Shenjue sighed inwardly, remembering Liang Ruoxu's instructions before leaving.
He said that the reason he asked you to go was to be ready at any time to pull back the wild horse that had run away.
Yan Shenjue stepped forward and saluted: "Xuan'er pays respect to His Majesty. Long live the emperor."
Emperor Mingpei nodded and even smiled: "Xuan'er, come here."
He pushed Xiao Tai away and reached out to touch his head: "Good boy, tell me in detail."
On this matter, Xinbao and everyone in the Tang family, as well as Xiao Tai, Yan Shenjue and others, all had a consensus that did not need to be expressed out loud.
In the face of national safety, personal safety and honor, and everything else, we must take a step back.
The difference is that Tuanzi chose to give his trust because of his trust in Emperor Mingpei, but for other people, living in this era, the identity of the emperor is naturally worth everything they give.
But this does not mean that there are no reservations.
After all, Tuanzi is magical in the first place, and if you tell him everything at once, it will only make people suspicious. It would be better to leave it for another day and let him see it for himself.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
So Yan Shenjue only talked about the foreknowledge.
There was a case in front and a prediction later. This prediction had predicted Yan Shenjue's own disaster, and Yan Shenjue set up a trap based on this and killed Chen Ershao.
Because the earthquake was not a good thing for the emperor, he chose to confess the matter, which made everything seem doubly credible.
Emperor Mingpei listened quietly.
After a long while, he said, "Go to the East Palace and find an opportunity to secretly take a drop of the prince's blood and another drop of my blood, and have the Jade Appraisal Bureau do the appraisal."
The shadow guard outside agreed, and after a while, one of the shadow guards came with a small jade cup. Emperor Mingpei rolled up his sleeves a little higher, but the shadow guard did not dare to move. Emperor Mingpei took the needle and pricked the cup himself, dripping a few drops of blood.
The shadow guard took the needle back and escaped silently. Yan Shenjue stepped forward, took out the handkerchief, and gently wrapped his arm.
Emperor Mingpei patted his hands and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Sit down and let me think about it."
This is really a dark place under the lamp.
He also read Liang Ruoxu's memorial and listened to Gao Fu's report, but he really didn't think about himself at all. He even told Fang Wuyou that military generals were careless and didn't even know that he had a son!
But now think back, more than thirty years ago, the old prince was in Jiangyou Province because he was also in Jiangyou Province!!
He was in the army every day, following the old prince to eliminate the remnants of evil, and never thought that something would happen at home! !
Moreover, when the prince was on the jade disc, he had to ask the Jade Appraisal Office to do it. It was said that this was to imitate the immortals. It had nothing to do with whether he believed it or not, but it was a necessary rule. Even when he was appointed as the crown prince, he had to ask the Jade Appraisal Office to do it... So there were two times when blood relationship was needed to "verify the identity"
At that time, he didn't have any other offspring! ! Was that person able to influence the people of Jianyusi, or was he able to control the blood snake of Jianyusi? Or did he take blood in advance and keep it for six years? All of these need to be carefully investigated.
Xiao Tai suddenly remembered: "Your Majesty, I don't have a son, and someone did something to me!"
"What?" Emperor Mingpei frowned, "Someone did something to me?"
"Yes," Xiao Tai said, "I went to Qingshan's house to recognize my relatives, and then Xinbao saw it at a glance. Now his name is Bai Gusheng. He is being treated by a famous doctor in Jianghu. I think it is quite effective. It is said that a certain acupuncture method is used, and the acupuncture should be performed every three months or six months. In recent years, I have not used a fixed doctor. I think this has nothing to do with those women in the backyard! Your Majesty, I now really understand that lust is a knife above your head..."
Emperor Mingpei was so angry that he laughed and slapped him hard.
