Chapter 20 Coincidence
Chapter 20 Coincidence
The blood on Mu Jue's face faded instantly, and his entire face showed an almost pale transparency.
In the past, he could make progress by retreating, completely putting himself in the position of "victim" and "bullyed". Afterwards, he didn't have to come forward to file a complaint in person. He does justice.But this time, Emperor Changping didn't stipulate who had to kneel where when he was punished to kneel. The prince, who was always moody, got tired of kneeling in the original place and wanted to kneel in a different place on the spur of the moment. reasonable.
But anyone who understands the rules of the game can understand this naked bullying and humiliation.
Except for the third prince who lowered his head earlier, the fourth prince and fifth prince looked at each other tremblingly, and quickly lowered their heads and pretended to be dead.What does it mean that gods fight and mortals suffer.The crown prince and the eldest prince are not strict, they have to kneel for three days, if the prince and the eldest prince are torturing each other in front of the Chengqing Palace, will they have to kneel for three months or even three years, and just kneel through ah.
"Why, elder brother stands here without moving, is it because he wants to receive the gift of loneliness?"
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to find someone to be unhappy, very few people who are found can be happy.
The young man held the corner of his mouth coldly, passed the eldest son of the emperor who was still in a daze, lifted the bright yellow gauze robe, spread out like a cicada's wings, and knelt down on the cushion.
! !
Mu Jue's expression changed.
In the entire Great Mu Dynasty, the only one who could bear the prince's kneeling was the Changping Emperor, who was the Ninth Five-Year Lord.If other people suffer, it is called treason and disrespect in official terms, and it is called... courting death in folk terms.
Seeing that the boy's knee was about to be covered with the cushion, Mu Jue had no time to think, and staggered, almost instinctively avoiding it in embarrassment.Because the action was too hasty, the white jade crown that bound her hair was brought to one side.
Seeing this scene from a distance, the officials who came and went were all puzzled: What happened to the eldest prince who has always behaved politely and had a gentle demeanor?He was standing well one second ago, but he almost fell down the next second, and there was no wind.
Is the Eldest Prince's body weak enough to collapse without wind?Then why are the officials in the court today saying that the eldest prince wants to worship Beihou as his teacher and learn the art of war and martial arts.Such a physique, don't learn anything.
"Hmm. Brother, you are blocking Gu's view."
In the eerie silence, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lazily rolled his eyelids, and spoke out of anger.
Mu Jue secretly clenched his hands hidden under his sleeves, almost numb and took three wrong steps to one side.
"It won't work over there either, it will block the sun and affect the lonely man."
Mu Jue: "..."
Mu Jue numbly moved back three steps.
Some people insisted, "Brother, why is his face so pale? Could it be that he resents Gu in his heart? The resentment is going to be vented, and if you hold it in your heart, you will get sick. Gu is not the kind of person who waits for a small belly."
"I...how dare you."
Mu Jue took a deep breath, suppressed the inappropriate emotions that surged from the bottom of his heart, and spoke again, his tone was impeccably submissive: "Your Highness is a king, and the order is orderly. Even if you are the eldest brother, you should respect your Highness in everything. first."
"Master!"As a former prince, why did he repeatedly bully the serious eldest son of the emperor.
Mu Jue cast a reproachful look, and his expression became more gentle and calm, without the "ugliness" of becoming angry after being bullied in public.Anyone who reads it will probably praise it, "Bright wind and bright moon, no surprises."
Except for the second prince Mu Xiao.
The second prince's first reaction when he saw this scene was that his elder brother was really... so fucking masochistic sometimes.
It's such a time, why are you pretending to be gentle, courteous and frugal, just roll up your sleeves and do it.
"Father! Father!"
It coincided with the next dynasty, and Emperor Changping's imperial court happened to pass by here.The second prince, with a strong sense of justice, really couldn't bear to see his elder brother's cowardice, so he decided to give him a helping hand.
Emperor Changping had just heard his courtiers quarreling for more than an hour, and he still had some brain pain. Just now, when he heard the second son's loud voice breaking through the sky, his brain almost didn't explode.
What's wrong with this?
Emperor Changping ordered to stop, and approached majestically, looking at the seven children kneeling in a row, it can be said that he was not unhappy.Especially the bright yellow boy who always looked down lazily and regarded him as nothing. The other princes were respectful and afraid when they saw him as a gentleman, and immediately corrected their kneeling posture.Fortunately, he half-closed those beautiful little fox eyes, as if he had fallen asleep, and didn't take himself, the emperor, seriously.
But that child is really too tall, with a small face carved into jade, black hair as smooth as satin, eyes that are more beautiful than stars when they are opened, and a delicate and gentle appearance, it is hard to be punished.
Emperor Changping resisted the dangerous act of pinching the prince's face, and asked his second son with a calm face: "Say it, what's the reason for stopping me?"
Although there is no way to deal with some children, in front of other sons, his majesty still needs to be established.
Suddenly being called by his dear father, Mu Xiao hurriedly stepped forward, expressing an indignant indignation: "Going back to my father, I am not a son, but my elder brother has something very important to report to my father."
After saying that, he motioned to Mu Jue wildly with his eyes.
Dear big brother, hurry up and sue!It's rare that the third, fourth, fifth, and idiot sixth can all be witnesses. If you don't sue now, let alone when!
Mu Jue obviously didn't understand what his dear second brother was thinking.
Facing the crazy eyes of the second brother, he just shook his head gently and admonishingly, with a noble and uncontested attitude that I am abused and I am willing, how can you be so violent and impulsive, exuding from the hair to the toes? There is a strong breath of the Virgin of the White Lotus.In contrast, the others, especially the second younger brother who wished to be a leader, seemed extremely narrow-minded and despicable.
"Father, don't listen to the nonsense of the second brother."
The First Prince of the Holy Mother smiled warmly, like a spring breeze.
"Actually, my son has nothing important to report. He just saw his father coming back from court early. His eyebrows seemed tired, and he was a little worried about his health. Although the state affairs are important, his father should pay attention to his care. Don't be too tired. Otherwise, The sons and ministers are all to die for."
"Ah."
Emperor Changping stretched out a generous palm, patted the eldest son's shoulder silently, and couldn't help but look at the bright yellow boy who was already kneeling crookedly and drowsy five steps away, feeling in his heart: The eldest son is still caring.
Mu Xiao suddenly felt that he was an idiot: "..."
vomit!
If he sympathizes with this hypocritical white lotus again in the future, he must be out of his mind.
……
On this day, Wei Zhao was also in the cabinet discussing matters with everyone until nightfall before he came out of the palace.
Today, he wears a collar with dark dark pattern arrow sleeves, a black jade belt around his waist, and his black hair is tied high with a black jade crown, making his physique more well-proportioned and heroic.
The night wind was cold, and there was still an anvil cold in the clothes.Zhou Shen went up to meet him, fastened the cloak for him, and was about to order the driver to turn the horse's head around, when he heard loud noises from the palace road ahead.
Zhou Shen took a look and said, "It seems to be the carriage of the First Prince's Mansion."
this hour...
Wei Zhao pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Go and see."
It's time to release the key, making loud noises outside the palace gate is a felony, the eldest prince Mu Jue cherishes his reputation the most, and should not condone his servants to make such mistakes, unless something serious happened.
Sure enough, there was a mess in front of the carriage of the First Prince's Mansion.
An eunuch wearing a red robe was scolding the coachman in a shrill voice, while the eldest prince Mu Jue was covering his heart with a pale face, holding on to the steward's arm, with cold sweat on his forehead and the tip of his nose, as if he was about to faint , like some kind of sudden illness.
"Wei... Marquis Wei..."
Mu Jue swayed, and opened his eyes angrily.
Wei Zhao motioned him not to be too polite, and asked the steward, "What happened?"
The steward said angrily, "I don't know who killed a thousand knives, but stuffed dead rats into our first prince's carriage, and even splashed dog blood all over the wall. How could the first prince see such a pickle thing, and when he was frightened, he would touch it." Heart palpitations."
Wei Zhao: "..."
Wei Zhao walked up to the carriage, raised the curtain and looked in, seeing the oily and obviously carefully selected big rats in the carriage, and the dog blood splashed with ink on the walls of the carriage. feel shocked.
"Slave Ma Laishun has seen Marquis Wei."
The training eunuch came over and bowed in salute.
It turned out to be the eunuch in charge of Empress Ji, Wei Zhao nodded and asked, "Have you invited the imperial physician to see the eldest prince?"
Ma Laishun's face was full of smiles, and he completely lost the arrogance and arrogance he had when he was admonishing him just now: "Mr. Huiwei, the eldest prince's heart palpitations are prone to attacks in case of danger. Emergency medicine is always on hand, so there is no need to call the imperial doctor. It's just..."
He looked at the ruined carriage in front of him, and said very worriedly: "The carriage will not be cleaned up for a while, and now that the palace gate has been unlocked again, it is not appropriate to disturb the Master Attendant to prepare a new carriage. This servant is really worried about you. The prince will be sick if he stands in the wind for a long time."
"It would be great if I could catch a car that goes along the way..."
As he was talking, he suddenly looked around and fixed his eyes on the luxury carriage with the emblem of Dingbeihou Mansion parked on the other side of the palace road, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
As Empress Ji's confidant eunuch, Ma Laishun knows Empress Ji's thoughts better than anyone else.
Ever since she had a bad nose with Emperor Changping last night, Empress Ji is now like an ant on a hot pot, more eager than ever to get the eldest prince to appoint Beihou as his teacher.
If the eldest prince can take the opportunity to take the carriage to Dingbeihou's mansion tonight, and teach Dingbeihou to take a good look at the pitiful state of the eldest prince being bullied, maybe the other party will feel pity for him, and he will stand on the side of Zhonggong.
The matter of apprenticeship is much easier.Think of it as cultivating the master-student relationship in advance, there is no harm.
Ma Laishun carefully observed Wei Zhao's reaction.
Wei Zhao also stared deeply at the other party, and after a while, smiled loosely: "This Marquis understands."
Ma Laishun's eyes lit up instantly.
Mu Jue, who was about to faint from qi deficiency, also trembled slightly: "Why bother Lord Hou so much..."
"No trouble."
Wei Zhao's tone was gentle: "The soldiers under Ben Hou's command are all capable of fighting a hundred on the battlefield. Cleaning the battlefield is no problem, let alone a carriage."
"The Marquis will let them escort the eldest prince all the way back to the mansion. I guarantee that no ghosts or monsters will dare to do anything else."
Ma Laishun: "..."
Ma Laishun: "..."
Is it because he hinted too vaguely!
……
As Haishi approached, most government offices were closed, and the Jinwu Guards had already lit the palace lanterns on both sides of the road.
"I don't know who is so bold as to dare to make trouble at the gate of the palace."
"Looking at the meaning of that eunuch Ma just now, it is clear that he wants the eldest prince to ride in the carriage of Lord Hou. Why did Lord Hou deliberately pretend not to know?"
The spacious and magnificent carriage of the Dingbei Hou's mansion glides along in the intertwined lights, Zhou Shen looked at the contemplative Lord Hou, and couldn't help but ask.
As far as that Eunuch Ma hinted, as long as the eyes are not blind, anyone can see it.
Pressing his temples, Wei Zhao smiled inexplicably, his long and narrow phoenix eyes looked like a sharp sword out of its sheath in the night, and the chill was overwhelming.
"Because, the Marquis hates people treating me like a fool the most."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard two familiar coughs as weak as a small wild cat coming in through the car curtain.
Wei Zhao smiled.
There are so many "coincidences" tonight.
The author has something to say: Keke, the flag at night will no longer dare to stand.
After learning from the pain, I decided to adjust the update to [-]:[-] noon, and it will be implemented tomorrow, so, see you on time at [-]:[-] noon tomorrow in the next chapter~
