Chapter 148: The beginning of the night
It was just dark and lights were lit everywhere, but people had not yet rested. This was the most prosperous time for the scenery.
Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the dining room and heard a moving call: "King Gaoyang." He stopped and turned around. Seeing Miaojin rushing to follow, he turned around to salute.
Miao Jin said to the eunuch next to him: "You go back to serve the emperor, I will send King Gaoyang out of the inner hall." The two eunuchs handed the lanterns on them and said: "Yes."
So Zhu Gaoxu and Miao Jin walked slowly towards the gatehouse of the inner hall. Miao Jin looked full of worries and his noble face seemed a little sad at this time.
Zhu Gaoxu felt that he had a thousand words to tell her, the apology he had been locked up for a year, when did he release it, Jing Qing surrender... etc., but for a moment, he had no way to start in the inner hall of the Yan Prince's Mansion.
Miao Jin seemed to be thinking about something, so the two of them walked silently on the street in the mansion.
When Zhu Gaoxu was in the dining room, he smiled most of the time, and his mother's face was almost stiff. As soon as he walked out, the light of the lantern was not very good, and he was smiling at all. At this time, he asked, "Does my aunt really believe in the gods?"
After hearing this, Miao Jin hesitated, then nodded and said, "There is a god three feet above my head, I believe it. King Gaoyang believes this?"
"I am skeptical of the gods." Zhu Gaoxu said, "but I believe that there is something incomprehensible to mortals in this world. It is not necessarily a god, but it must be very mysterious, beyond our cognition."
Miaojin didn't answer.
After a moment, Zhu Gaoxu said with some emotion: "Whether a person does ordinary things, whether he can succeed depends mainly on his own personality and ability..." For example, he was even worse than ordinary people in the same class in his previous life, which is a personality problem.
He continued, "But do extraordinary things, luck is the most important thing!"
Zhu Gaoxu made this feeling not groundless. He participated almost the entire Jingnan Battle. Although his father was powerful, he could win in the end. What was that luck? Any less strong wind on the battle, and his father would finish it.
Also, he was lucky enough to escape in the capital last year. As long as there is one detail, can he escape? As well as what he is going to do now, Zhu Gaoxu is also praying that he will not be too bad.
Miao Jin whispered: "King Gaoyang's words are reasonable."
After a while, he was almost at the gatehouse of the inner hall. Miao Jin called out softly and whispered: "The yard diagonally opposite Chi Yueguan is still from Gaoyang King?"
Zhu Gaoxu nodded.
She raised her head, and the naturally charming almond eyes were filled with orange light from lanterns. She seemed to have been full of energy and said, "Can we meet tomorrow morning?" After saying that, she seemed to let out a sigh of secretly, as if she had hesitated for a long time, and finally said it.
Zhu Gaoxu felt a little strange for a moment, but immediately understood that Miaojin took the initiative to propose a private meeting, and with her spirit, it was indeed not easy to say it.
Tomorrow morning? Zhu Gaoxu planned to do that dangerous thing tonight. He suddenly realized: After doing that, he quietly ran to Chi Yueguan. If the person disappeared, will there be some trouble?
He was about to speak, but he saw someone coming from the gatehouse, so he had to stop.
At this time, Miao Jin said, "I will send King Gaoyang here. It's dark, King Gaoyang will go slowly."
Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to say goodbye to her and left the gatehouse. The eunuchs near the gatehouse continued to send him out of the Yan Prince's Mansion. Along the way, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but wonder: What exactly Miaojin had to say, and he actually offered a private meeting?
But he didn't care about that much! It was a long night and dreams. After Zhu Gaoxu returned to his house, he immediately started to do things and did it as soon as he thought about it!
...After the family banquet, the prince and the prince's concubine returned to the mansion in a sedan chair. As soon as they entered the gate, a large group of ceremonial guards dispersed one after another, and some people gathered in the sedan chair and entered the mansion.
At this moment, a childish voice came from outside: "Who dares to grab my stuff?"
The prince stretched out his head and saw that his son Zhu Zhanji was sitting on the ground, covered in mud, holding a wooden sword in his hand. The eunuchs and maids were hurried to support him.
"It's dark, why is Zhanji still naughty here?" the prince frowned.
The servants hurriedly fell to the ground, and a eunuch said, "I know you are wrong! I will take my grandson to take a bath and change clothes immediately."
But Zhu Zhanji seemed to be angry. He couldn't get up even if he sat on the ground, and even hit the eunuchs who were approaching with a wooden sword.
The prince was angry and struggled to get out of the sedan chair. When he went up, he lifted Zhu Zhanji, waved his palm and hit him on his butt with a "pop". Zhu Zhanji immediately burst into tears.
Zhang immediately came out, grabbed the prince, and said with a bitter look on his face: "Criminal, he is your own son, why are you doing so much?"
"Mom, mom..." Zhu Zhanji cried, and as soon as he turned over, he got up and hugged Zhang's legs, "The child wants to tell grandpa, dad, hit me..."
"If the son doesn't teach him, it's the father's fault! I have never been humble since I was a child. Who can steal his things?" The prince said annoyed, but he didn't beat the child anymore.
Zhang said, "Zhanji is still young, what does he know?"
The prince shook his sleeves and walked up the room. His back was tilted and the eunuchs quickly stepped forward to support him.
After the prince entered the room, he sat down on the soft couch he often sat on. After a while, Zhang came in with a cup of tea in his own hands and waved, "You all go out."
"Yes." The eunuchs and maids bowed their knees and retreated.
"Come on, have a cup of tea to sober up. Who has messed with the prince? He will be so arrogant when he comes back?" Zhang blew gently on the water with his little mouth.
The prince frowned and said, "I told you not to worry about Tan Yuan's rebellious son, but now Gao Xu will be taken to publicly and said!"
Zhang smiled and said, "Let him say, did the mother blame me? But the prince finally heard that there was a thorn in his second uncle's words. You said that he was a soldier who could still fight against me, a woman, but it was hard for him."
The prince said: "Gao Xu has been more naughty than our Zhanji since he was a child. Grandpa of the Emperor dislikes him. Zhanji is very fond of his grandfather. This kid wants to sue me!"
Zhang smiled when he heard this.
The prince pondered again: "But the younger brothers are all old, and Gao Xu is also in charge. He knows that the elder brother cannot get out of office. After all, he is still a brother."
"Huh!" Zhang immediately sneered, "The prince will not really believe it. He wants to support you as the prince?"
The prince shook his head, then hesitated again. He was pondering something, and the expression on his face continued to change subtly, as if he had remembered different past events.
Zhang gently reminded: "Junyingcao."
The prince indeed frowned. Zhang took the opportunity to whisper: "The prince's younger brother is very terrible. It turns out that he is just cunning and fierce. Now it seems that he is still very patient and able to judge the situation. Today he spoke a call at his father's mansion, and took advantage of the situation to bribe the princes' hearts. Don't take it lightly!"
At this moment, the prince suddenly said, "What do you think about the father?"
"It's hard to say." Zhang frowned, "Uncle Second has made great contributions and helped his father a lot. Now he looks humble and listens to his father's words. He is not easy to hit him if he wants to."
The prince sighed: "You were not in our house before, and I didn't know what happened when I was a child. My father liked the second and third brothers the most, and I was the one I despised the most. Last time Gao Xu used Jun Shadow Grass to poison me, but my father also favored him, and he mixed up and then left it alone..."
Zhang whispered quietly: "Father is the emperor now."
At this moment, the eunuch called out carefully outside the door, and Zhang turned his head and waved, and the eunuch came in with a basin of red charcoal.
It is already February, but the night in Peking is still chilly and cold. Ordinary families don’t have to burn charcoal, but the prince’s mansion must live the most comfortable place.
The fiery red charcoal was so clean that there was no wisp of smoke, and the room gradually became warmer and more comfortable.
...
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu was in a cold alley. When he came out of the carriage, he suddenly felt that the air was very cold. For the sake of convenience, he only wore a single blue dress on the lining, which was indeed very thin.
The carriage was blocking a door. Zhu Gaoxu stood there, looked at both ends of the alley, then reached out and knocked on the door with a soft "tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-
So Zhu Gaoxu took out an iron sled from the carriage and forced it into the crack of the door. The muscles on his arm bulged, and with a "click", the sound of wood breaking, and the door opened.
Zhu Gaoxu went in sideways, his eyes were dark, but he immediately smelled a musty smell mixed with dust. So he left the door directly, twisted a tightly tied man with one hand, dragged it into the door, still inside.
"Woo woo woo woo..." A man let out a muffled hum.
Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Make a little more noise, I will kill you now!"
He turned around and went out, walked to the front of the carriage, and whispered: "You can drive the car back to the house, go in the back garden door, and wait in the house."
"Prince..." Wang Gui's tone was a little worried.
Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice: "After late at night, there was a patrol, and the carriage was of great target. At that time, I would definitely be discovered when I drove the carriage on the street. The carriage should not be left nearby. When there is no one, leave quickly!"
"Take care!" Wang Gui whispered.
Zhu Gaoxu walked into the door, touched a bench, and topped the door. He stood in the dark for a while, and followed the place where he had just been released. The two of them were still there, and they really didn't dare to say anything again.
He dragged the two of them into another dark room. He didn't know what the room was for, and there was no light at all. There was still faint light in the alley outside, but there was no five fingers here, and there might be no windows.
Zhu Gaoxu groped and closed the door, then took out the fire note, blew it carefully, and took a photo of the two people, and saw a man staring at his eyes with a frightened and confused expression.
