Chapter 371 Prince Chun and Duke Shun drink
Prince Chun wanted to leave immediately after asking, but he seemed uneasy before leaving. He even asked them to lead him on a patrol in the tribute courtyard. The principal and the inspector burst into tears with gratitude, feeling that Prince Chun was too attentive.
Prince Chun didn't feel relieved to say goodbye until he saw Jiao Yi, who was following him in casual clothes and nodded towards him.
Naturally, he refused the host's invitation. He was not here to eat, he had other things to do.
However, while thanking them for their kind invitation, he also reminded: "The city defense guards have done a great job and have worked hard this time. It doesn't hurt to give them some midnight snacks."
This advantage is acceptable to my subordinates.
On the outskirts of Shengjing,
Because the thief was successfully caught, Shun Guogong, who had been back for several days and was placed in Qingshan Villa, had nothing to do. He had enough to eat and drink, and besides sleeping, he practiced martial arts.
On the way back to Beijing, the danger I thought I might encounter did not happen.
He was bored and couldn't enter the capital, let alone his home. He began to miss the days when he was traveling with his wife and daughter. He wished he could hurry up and chase back again, but he was stopped by Prince Chun and his men.
It was said that he was asked to wait a few more days until the convoy approached the boundaries of the capital before leaving. At that time, he would have to put on the shabby clothes he had come back from and go directly to the palace to meet the saint.
"You said the person who brought the craftsmen to the Tribute Courtyard was called Mr. An? Was he from the prince?"
"Yes, the inspector said it himself. He can't be wrong. I don't know how they got Mr. Gong's badge.
Eunuch An is the prince's confidant. He must have thought it was a sure thing this time, so he was so blatant. If Chu Chu hadn't predicted it in advance, no one would have expected that they were going in to cause damage. Only Chu Chu had this ability. "
Duke Shun Guo asked angrily: "Do you think the prince will directly commit crimes in the dungeon of the Ministry of Justice?"
Shaking his head, Prince Chun said to Duke Shun: "When Eunuch An was caught, he knew that he could not escape the blame. He should have wanted to commit suicide in fear of the crime. But there is no poison in his body. It is inevitable that the prince will take action."
"Then there will be no proof. The other four are probably just ordinary craftsmen and they won't be able to find out anything."
Thinking of the dangerous situation he would have faced as soon as he returned to Beijing if it weren't for his daughter, Duke Shun Guo was so angry that his teeth chattered: "That would be too easy for him."
"Don't worry, this is a good thing. If Mr. An is not dead, and the emperor accuses him of a trivial crime in order to protect the prince, we will not respond."
"But I also lost this good official, which is a pity."
Duke Shun sighed and frowned. After all, he was a subordinate who was loyal to him. He was framed for no reason and had nowhere to redress his grievances.
Prince Chun smiled and said, "Don't worry. Jiao Yi and Jiao Qi had already replaced Mr. Gong's brand in the circle where I presented it to the Gongyuan. Now it is Mr. Gong's home. The piece presented by the Gongyuan is fake. Gong Your Excellency will definitely be released in the next two days."
Prince Chun was punched hard: "Okay, I really have you, but you haven't taken the initiative to explain it after being here for a long time. You want to make me angry to death, do you think I'm going to take advantage of you?"
After being punched again, both of them laughed.
Duke Shun: "If it weren't for you and Brother Jue in this business, I'd be afraid that my body would be dead when I come back. That kid, luckily he didn't follow his father. He's really smart and very courageous."
Prince Chun was very pleased with himself: "Don't mention that one again. They all say that my nephew is Uncle Xiao. If Brother Jue doesn't follow me, who will?"
Duke Shun shook his head helplessly: "Just be happy."
Prince Chun turned around and said to Duke Shun again: "If you have to say that your brain is good, you can listen to what is said outside after the provincial examination! The best is yet to come! If the emperor doesn't give him the crown prince position in the future, The Eighth Prince won't let him have an easy time, and people's opinions will be clear to him."
Prince Chun laughed loudly after saying this, and then said: "We just watch the tiger fight from a distance, and they have no time to take care of us, otherwise it will make them look good."
"Okay, I have nothing to do, so you want to have a few drinks with me tonight."
"I'm just here to ask for a drink, but you insist on talking so much about me, hahaha."
Prince Chun: "By the way, don't just remember to drink these days. Write down everything you encounter along the way and submit it to the court another day.
Although you can't name them by name, at least you can let people know that someone has tripped you up. If you and your family have a headache in the future, others will think that way.
Remember to make an extra copy and I will send someone to pick it up when the time comes. "
Knowing that Prince Chun must be thinking about him and trying to trick others behind his back, Duke Shun nodded in agreement: "You monkey, you are even more slippery than when you were a child."
"Let's walk around and have a drink. I heard that the cooks here are pretty good at it. It seems like you've gained weight after only being back for a few days."
"Hahaha"
Li Yan and Chu Chu's group had a smooth journey back. There was no danger at all during the three days and a trip every two days.
Although Zimo knew that the most dangerous situation was in the capital, he still did not dare to relax for a moment. Master Fang sent them all the way out of Western Xinjiang but could not go any further. The generals could not return to the capital without summons.
But the soldiers who were disguised as guards were also very skilled and insisted on escorting them all the way to Beijing.
Worried about her father, as well as her grandfather, fourth uncle and sister-in-law, Chu Chu has also lost weight due to hunger. Nothing she eats tastes good now. The only thing she wants to do is to return to Shunguo Duke's Mansion and Chu Pavilion as soon as possible to see that her relatives are safe and sound. Only then can I rest assured.
For the first time at a young age, I felt like I was returning home.
The three people who accompanied Chu Chu also lost interest. August was fine and had no worries. Wherever the young lady was, her home was.
On the contrary, Qiuli gained a little weight, and she stuffed all the buns saved by the lady into her mouth. She didn't dislike them. She even felt that the buns stained with the lady's saliva seemed to have more flavor, but she also missed her home, grandpa, and Dad, Mom and Sister Chuntao.
Lan Hui felt almost the same as Chu Chu and became quieter. In the past two days, she could no longer think about her parents and sister in Beidi. She also felt that she was about to see her grandparents and brother. Uneasy, that was her closest relative and also the most unfamiliar person.
Li Yan also couldn't eat or sleep well. After leaving Zhaojue Temple, she never worried about her safety.
All she could think about was whether her husband had been intercepted on the way, and what happened to Gongyuan? One night, she even dreamed that her husband had been caught. When she woke up, she was dripping with cold sweat. Fortunately, Chu Chu and Lan Hui did not sleep with her, otherwise Chu Chu would have been frightened.
People haggard for Yixiao.
