"Master," someone from Feng Zhengmin's residence said, "Princess Xuan said that if Crown Prince Dongfang is in a better mood, perhaps the acupuncture points can be unblocked immediately..."
"Stupid." Feng Zhengmin scolded him before he could finish. "Stand here in the cold for a while and see if your mood improves. I think that girl did it on purpose. What can Prince Xuan say?"
"The prince said he is henpecked..."
"!!!" Feng Zhengmin wanted to curse when he heard these words.
At the same time, Lin Shangde and Gu Xiong looked at each other, both feeling helpless.
"Prime Ministers," Gu Xiong said with an apologetic look on his face, "this situation is inevitably connected to Chang'an. Why don't you go back first? Otherwise, you'll really freeze to death."
"We can't let General Gu guard here alone. It will look awkward." Feng Zhengmin meant that the Gu family held the military power and he knew that Gu Qingyun was loyal to his nephew Bei Mingye, so he couldn't offend anyone in the Gu family and had to keep him well.
"In this case, I can't leave." Lin Shangde's mind was as clear as a mirror. He knew very well that Gu Qingyun was Bei Mingye's man.
At a time when the court was in turmoil, he would not give Gu Xiong and Feng Zhengmin any chance to plot.
Thinking in his mind, he couldn't help but look at Gu Xiong. He really couldn't understand why their Gu family would support Bei Ming Ye?
If they say that the Gu family does not support the prince, that's fine.
But why not support Bei Mingxuan?
"In that case, the three of us old fellows will stay here with Prince Dongfang," Gu Xiong said, and ordered the people beside him, "Go, get the chess pieces. I want to play a game of chess with the two prime ministers."
He understood Feng Zhengmin and Lin Shangde's thoughts very well, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that these two people were really overthinking.
However, there are also benefits to staying at this time.
This way, I won’t be able to explain myself in the future if someone talks about me, because at least I have two people who can verify my identity.
"yes."
Dongfang Ge's guards stared at the three old men in amazement. "Our prince is here and can't move, and you're still in the mood to play chess? What on earth are you thinking?"
"Young man, please be patient." Lin Shangde looked helpless.
"Look at your prince's concentration. He hasn't even said anything yet, and you're already chattering.
That's why you can only be a slave and he is the prince."
"..." The guard glared at Lin Shangde madly. What a bullshit reason.
His master is the prince because his father is a prince and his grandfather is the emperor.
I can only be a slave because I am an orphan.
At this time, Feng Zheng took a look at the young man who was speaking. He seemed to be about the same age as Dongfang Ge.
He was wearing a navy blue suit and should be Dongfang Ge's personal bodyguard, but there was no pattern on his clothes.
I don't know why I always feel that this person looks familiar, but I can't tell exactly where he looks familiar.
"What's your name?" Feng Zhengmin asked.
"I'm Dongfang Ji." The man said.
As soon as he said this, General Gu and the left and right prime ministers all looked at him in surprise.
"Are you from the Dongfang family, the royal family?" Lin Shangde asked. In his impression, there seemed to be no one named Ji among the descendants of the Dongfang family.
"Who I am seems to have nothing to do with Lord Lin." The guard's words were filled with dissatisfaction.
Lin Shangde did not bother with Dongfang Ji. He retracted his gaze and looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard, "Young man, you can be angry, but don't lose face for your master.
Princess Hyun has already said that if your master is in a good mood, he might be able to untie the acupoints himself in a while.
So, the three of us old guys are here to keep your master company and relieve his boredom."
"Ah... since... no, we shouldn't be rude." Dongfang Gedong couldn't even speak clearly. "The three old gentlemen are right. We should remember this kindness in our hearts."
"Yes, master." Dongfeng looked respectful.
In Dongfang Ji's eyes, Dongfang Ge is his master and also his benefactor. It is Dongfang Ge who gave him everything. If it were not for Dongfang Ge, he might have died by now.
One winter when he was ten years old, he almost froze to death on the street and thought he was dead.
However, he didn't expect that he would be met by Dongfang Ge who was out winter hunting and was brought back home.
From then on, he became Dongfang Ge's man.
He has no surname or name, and everything he has is given by Dongfang Ge.
Listening to Dongfang Ge's words, Gu Xiong glanced away, thinking that Dongfeng Ge would continue to be angry.
I didn't expect that his words at this time did not contain any hostility at all. Instead, they were very calm, as if he accepted his fate.
This made him look at him with new eyes. A real man can bend and stretch, and he is worthy of the status of the Crown Prince of Shijin Kingdom. Thinking about it, a smile appeared on his lips, "Come here."
"master."
"Go and see if the hot water for Prince Dongfang is ready?" Gu Xiong ordered, "Bring all the hot water here and get a few hand towels."
"yes."
"Mr. Gu, what are you doing?" Feng Zhengmin asked, "If your granddaughter knew about this, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause."
"I'm talking to Prime Minister Feng." Lin Shangde just couldn't accept what Feng Zhengmin said, "Do you think everyone is as petty as you?
How do you know that Princess Hyun would care about it?
Let me tell you, people in this world really think what they think. You will think others are the same as you are...tsk tsk..."
"Hey! I'm talking to you, old man Lin. Can't you say a few words to make me happy? If you don't say a few words to me, do you feel uncomfortable?"
"You only know this now?"
Feng Zhengmin looked at Lin Shangde and said, "I said, you used to be Bei Ming Che's teacher and the Grand Tutor, so naturally you had to stand by his side. Now that Bei Ming Hong Che is considered useless, do you have any new plans?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Shangde looked at Feng Zhengmin.
"Old man, everyone's mind is as clear as a mirror. Don't pretend to be confused." Feng Zhengmin thought for a moment, "You don't really want to support that short-lived Bei Mingxuan, do you?"
"..." Gu Xiong felt unhappy listening to Feng Zhengmin's words. What did it mean to be short-lived? His grandson-in-law was countless times better than his nephew. "Prime Minister Feng, please be careful with your words."
"!!!" Feng Zhengmin smiled awkwardly, "Haha, sorry, I forgot that Bei Mingxuan is Mr. Gu's grandson-in-law."
"I'm talking to Prime Minister Feng," Gu Xiong said. "Even if Prime Minister Lin really wants to stand by Bei Mingxuan's side, you have nothing to worry about. The one truly competing with you, the Fourth Prince, is probably the First Prince. As long as Prime Minister Lin doesn't fight on the wrong side, it won't matter."
Feng Zhengmin didn't say anything, thinking in his heart, Bei Ming Ye had said before that Bei Ming Xuan had personally told him that he wanted to compete with him for the throne.
I find it ridiculous.
