Chapter 10 I’m going to climb the roof!
So, what she said was too radical.
It seems that Wang Xiuyi is not willing to marry him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little more guilty.
Wang Xiuyi seemed to gradually understand. She slapped her head and said repeatedly, "Oh, right, right, I almost forgot. Look at my temper. March 9th, right? I will definitely be there! We can talk then. I'll go back and teach that kid a lesson first. See you, Lord Shen!"
Shen Zhejiang said: "Slow down."
Watching Wang Xiuyi and Wang Chengming walking away, Huaiwen was terrified and worried about his master, muttering in a low voice: "This Miss Wang is too fierce, what should the master do in the future?"
Shen Zhejiang heard it and turned back to leave him a message: "Stop talking too much."
"I know I was wrong."
It would be better to let the Lord marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...呸呸呸呸! How can it be possible for you, a man, to marry His Highness?
Huaiwen's mind was full of random thoughts.
Shen Zhejiang boarded the carriage, lifted the curtain and was about to lower his head to get in. Seeing Huaiwu's twisted expression, he said in a calm tone: "Go back home."
-
The imperial study in the palace.
Emperor Wu Kun threw the last memorial onto the table. The flickering candlelight illuminated his exhausted face.
Hai Sanqing came in holding a mahogany tray with a cup of soothing tea on it. Your Majesty has not had a peaceful rest for many days because of his busy schedule.
"Your Majesty, please take a rest first."
Emperor Wu Kun picked up the cup without saying a word. Before he could even take a sip, he thought of the irritating Xiao Zhinian and asked, "Is the Crown Prince calming down?"
Hai Sanqing did not dare to hide it and answered truthfully: "There is news from Yanqing Palace. His Highness is still in a bad mood and clamors to see Master Shen."
"Bang!"
The teacup fell onto the table, and the splashing water soaked the rice paper at hand.
Emperor Wu Kun cursed, "He only cares about Shen Zhejiang. He has nothing to do all day long. How can he even remember that he has a father like me! If this country falls into his hands, it will be ruined sooner or later!"
Hai Sanqing immediately knelt on the ground, lowered his eyebrows and said: "Your Highness is young and immature. After two days, when Master Shen marries the daughter of the Minister of War, Your Highness will understand the good intentions of Your Majesty and focus on court affairs."
"If he wasn't my only son, when would it be his turn to take over the country? I would have given him a fiefdom and told him to get out of here as far away as he can! Stop getting in my way!"
"When the Empress suffered a difficult birth, His Majesty was heartbroken and could not bear to let her suffer the pain of childbirth again, so he favored Your Highness."
Hai Sanqing understood the emperor's mind and knew that what he said was just out of anger.
Speaking of the queen, Emperor Wu Kun finally calmed down, leaned back in his chair, slowly exhaled a breath, and said: "Forget it, get up, it has nothing to do with you, it is my failure to discipline you that led to today's result."
Hai Sanqing hunched his old back and said as he stood up, "It was your Highness who mentioned to your Majesty that he wanted to take Shen Zhejiang as his master, which led to this day. How can your Majesty blame yourself?"
"Tell me, was it a blessing or a curse that I promised my mother to leave Shen Zhejiang behind?"
Emperor Wu Kun looked blankly at a huge beast-shaped furnace in the center, with smoke curling around it. It seemed as if he was asking the Three Pure Ones of the Sea, or as if he was talking to himself.
It's really hard to comment.
Hai Sanqing lowered his head in silence, knowing that he must not say a word at this time.
Emperor Wu Kun was not annoyed when he did not get a response. His dull voice echoed in the imperial study again: "The Shen family's crime is unforgivable. I still can't understand why my mother only left Shen Zhejiang alone? Over the years, I have also checked his background, but I have not found anything."
"......" Hai Sanqing stole a glance at Emperor Wu Kun, and seeing that he looked unhappy, he thought about changing the subject and said, "Since Your Majesty hates Chen Zhejiang, why don't you take this opportunity to expel him from the capital? In three to five years, Your Highness will grow up and will eventually forget about this person."
"That's easy to say. I kept him under my watch because I was afraid he might have ulterior motives. He secretly investigated the truth about the Shen family, and he thought I didn't know?"
Neither this nor that works.
Emperor Wu Kun thought for a moment, picked out the scroll in front of him and unfolded it.
"The Ministry of Personnel reported that the prefect of Wuxi Prefecture died in an accident a month ago, and the position is vacant. It is a good opportunity for Shen Zhejiang to take over. Send me more people to keep an eye on him. The same goes for the Ministry of War."
Hai Sanqing stretched out his hands to take the letter and said, "Yes."
-
At the same time, the Eastern Palace was in turmoil.
"Liu Bao! Open the door for me!"
Xiao Zhinian shouted in the hall until his throat was dry, but still no one opened the door for him.
No one knows a son better than his father.
Emperor Wu Kun knew that Xiao Zhinian was full of tricks, so in order to lock him up, he even ordered people to seal up any open holes with nails, and sent guards to surround him in three layers inside and outside so that not even a fly could fly in.
While the guards were changing shifts, Liu Bao quietly squatted outside the door, which was locked, and said anxiously, "Your Highness, please don't blame me. I can't open the door either! There are so many people guarding outside. Your Highness, please listen to my advice, live these days peacefully, and then apologize to His Majesty."
Xiao Zhinian kicked the palace door and said, "What did I do wrong? Why should I admit my mistakes? Go tell my father. If you want me to bow my head, you are dreaming! You think you can control me like this. Liubao, the Empress Dowager loves me the most. Hurry up and ask her to save me!"
"Your Highness may have forgotten that the Queen Mother and the Queen went to Guanhai Temple to meditate and pray two months ago and are not in the palace."
"When will you be back?"
Liu Bao hesitated and said, "...It's hard to say. According to the usual practice, it should take more than half a year."
When Xiao Zhinian heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper. It was too late. It looked like he had to rely on himself.
"Go, go, go! His Majesty has ordered that no one should approach Yanqing Palace, you little eunuch, stay away!"
The guard who had just returned from duty saw Liu Bao approaching the East Palace stealthily and immediately drove him away with a gruff voice.
Liu Bao was so anxious that he blurted out all the words that had been pent up for a long time: "Your Highness! Just let go of Master Shen! We don't have any male favorites you want, tall, short, thin, fat, whatever you want, why do you have to insist on enduring Master Shen's humiliation?"
Shocking statement.
The guards who heard this gasped and looked at each other in surprise.
Xiao Zhinian's mouth twitched: "Shut your dog mouth!"
Don’t blame Liubao.
Ever since he witnessed the scene of Shen Zhejiang pressing Xiao Zhinian on top of him that day, he felt as if the sky had fallen.
He thought that this shouldn't be the case. How could His Highness be the one below? Master Shen looks like he can be knocked down by a gust of wind. There is no way Your Highness can't beat Master Shen!
Whenever he recalled this incident, Liu Bao would wake up from the nightmare and exclaim that it was impossible!
Xiao Zhinian was at a loss as without the support of his grandmother, he was the only one left to figure out a solution.
The last time he was under house arrest, he escaped through the window, but this time even the window gaps were nailed shut with wooden boards, leaving him with no way out.
In this case...
Xiao Zhinian raised his head thoughtfully and looked at the ceiling.
