The game of chess with His Majesty lasted for a long time, and it was dark when it was over.
When Xiao Heng came out of the Qianqing Palace, it was already pitch dark outside.
It was silent in the dead of night, with only a young eunuch holding a lantern, bending forward to lead the way.
King Heng looked at the dim light, took a deep breath, and stepped to the side.
"Your Highness?" The young eunuch was holding a lantern and heard some footsteps behind him that sounded strange. He turned around and saw that the person behind him had not caught up, so he hurriedly chased after him.
"Your Highness, where are you going?" The young eunuch followed behind him holding a lantern.
"The road ahead is not the way out of the palace." His Royal Highness Prince Huan ran so fast that the young eunuch took a long time to catch up with him.
"Your Highness, the palace gates will be locked soon."
He followed behind and reminded him, but Xiao Yu found it annoyed.
She turned her head and glanced at him: "Don't follow me."
The look frightened the young eunuch so much that he froze to the ground. It was not until Prince Heng came back to his senses that he came back to his senses.
The look in His Royal Highness Prince Huan's eyes was so frightening that he almost lost his courage.
The young eunuch raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Seeing that the figure in front of him was about to disappear, he muttered "Amitabha".
Xiao Heng went all the way to the Imperial Garden. Seeing that there was indeed no one following him, he found a small road and turned to the Garden of All Beasts.
The person who looks after the Zoo at night is an old eunuch who looks unfamiliar.
When he heard the noise, he came out with a lantern to take a look. When he saw that it was King Huan, he was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground.
"Your servant... Your servant is here to see Your Highness."
The old eunuch knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to raise his head.
The masters don't often come to places like the Wanshou Garden.
His Royal Highness Prince Huan has just arrived in the capital not long ago. What wind brought him here?
The eunuch knelt on the ground and dared not look up.
"Get up." Xiao Heng walked straight past the two of them and hurried inside.
He still had fantasies in his mind along the way, hoping that he was wrong.
Or maybe the person sent by the emperor took it by mistake.
There are so many birds and animals in the Zoo, including quite a few parrots.
They may not necessarily be the two that belong to him.
Xiao Heng had this fantasy in his mind all the way, but he just waited until he arrived at the Garden of All Beasts and saw that everything was empty.
His eyes went dark, and he finally gave up completely.
"Where are the two pink-feathered parrots that I brought with me?" King Heng asked, pinching his brows with his fingertips and taking a deep breath.
The eunuch who followed didn't understand, but when Prince Heng asked, he still replied tremblingly: "Two days ago...Eunuch Lin from the Palace of Heavenly Purity sent people to arrest him."
Eunuch Lin is His Majesty’s man.
Whatever action he took, it was said to be the order of His Majesty.
How could King Heng not know?
The eunuch knelt on the ground, staring blankly at His Royal Highness Prince Huan in front of him.
But when I think about the fact that those two parrots were sent into the palace by His Royal Highness Prince Huan.
The old eunuch seemed to remember something: "But the parrot is His Highness's favorite?"
He had been reminded by someone that King Heng had often come to the Garden of All Beasts some time ago. He was on duty at night, so although he had seen it before, more than one person mentioned this incident.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this must be the reason. The old eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him: "This slave deserves death, this slave deserves death."
It seems that those two parrots were King Heng's favorites, and they were given by the Zoo as a favor.
His Royal Highness Prince Heng is here to cause trouble.
The old eunuch would probably be very scared when he thought about this.
The little bit of hope in Xiao Heng's heart was shattered at this moment.
He took a deep breath and no longer had the energy to deal with the eunuch.
I taught the two parrots to say sweet words, hoping to ease my lovesickness.
It turns out that it was because he had not given up looking for that woman.
I thought that sooner or later I would find them and then give them to her.
But no one expected that, as fate would have it, the parrot would end up in Concubine Zhao's hands.
But since the parrot had already been given away, there was absolutely no reason to take it back.
As for the sentences spoken by the two parrots, he would never admit that he taught them.
Xiao Heng could never have imagined that his royal brother would send these two parrots to Concubine Zhao.
For his own sake and for the sake of Concubine Zhao, who was deeply favored by the emperor, he had to keep this matter to himself.
However, given his brother's suspicious mind, he didn't dare to imagine how his brother would doubt him if he knew the truth.
"I will come to the Zoo tonight, so don't let anyone know!"
"I know. I will keep this secret to myself and won't say a word to anyone."
The eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Xiao Heng took a deep look, took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and threw it down: "I will remember you. If a third person knows that I came here tonight."
"When the time comes, you will lose your head."
The gold ingots were thrown at their feet, and the old eunuch didn't dare to pick them up.
