Chapter 664

Half an hour ago.

Nangong Jin, the Crown Prince of Thailand, came to the emperor's palace after going to greet the Queen Mother.

Since the emperor was busy with the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony at this time, he could only wait outside.

Li Gui came out of the palace and accompanied him diligently.

When Nangong Jin was a child, he often came to the palace to play with the emperor, so he and Li Gui had known each other since childhood.

The two chatted for a while.

Li Gui suddenly changed the topic and whispered about Luo Qingzhou.

"His Royal Highness, you don't know something. Mr. Luo, whom His Majesty favored recently, was actually born in a humble way. He was just a concubine. In the end, he married into the Qin family. In the autumn examination, he got the first place in Mocheng..."

"When the eldest princess was in Mocheng, she doted on him very much. It is said that she often called him into the palace to chat. As for what they talked about, no one knew. And when the eldest princess proposed to reduce his rank, the Qin family was the first to agree and took the initiative to resign... …”

"After coming to Kyoto, the eldest princess was also very concerned about the Qin family. There was a case that involved the Qin family. The eldest princess came personally and took away the Qin family members from the hands of the Jin Yiwei. Your Majesty was also present at that time... Everyone in the Qin family Very arrogant..."

"In the end, after the eldest princess went to the border, Mr. Luo immediately came to curry favor with His Majesty and the Queen Mother. Your Majesty seemed to trust him very much..."

At this point, he glanced around, lowered his voice and said, "But I feel that Mr. Luo may have some problems. They were loyal to the eldest princess at the beginning. And the eldest princess has a maid, and your majesty likes it. He wanted to take her as his concubine, but the little bitch would rather die than commit suicide. It is said that the maid was originally the woman of Mr. Luo. Do you think he didn't think too much about it?"

"So, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be deceived. That Mr. Luo is very cunning..."

"By the way, His Highness the Crown Prince, when I sent him back, I heard him talk privately, saying that His Majesty should not hand over all military power to His Royal Highness the King of Thailand. He also said that His Highness the Crown Prince, you... you..."

Nangong Jin's eyes turned cold and he said, "What did you say about me?"

Li Gui lowered his head and looked around again, with a confused look on his face: "I dare not say anything."

Nangong Jin's face darkened and he said, "Li Gui, what are you afraid of? Just tell me! There is no one else here."

Li Gui said with a grimace, "I'm afraid that Your Majesty will blame me if he knows that I'm speaking ill of Mr. Luo behind his back."

Nangong Jin's face was as cold as frost and he said, "Don't worry, I won't tell others, just say it."

Li Gui glanced at him, immediately approached him, and whispered: "That boy was very proud and arrogant after being praised by His Majesty and the Queen Mother. When the servant sent him back that night, he directly said that next year's number one scholar must be him, and he also He said that when he becomes an official, he will impeach you, His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, saying that you raped civilian girls in Kyoto and acted recklessly, and you are not worthy... you are not worthy to be the Crown Prince, let alone lead the army with the King of Thailand..."

"Bang!"

Nangong Jin slapped his palm on the railing in front of him, with a stern expression on his face: "Did that kid really say that?"

Li Gui immediately panicked and said, "How dare I deceive His Highness the Crown Prince? At that time, that boy was so high-spirited that he seemed to ignore everyone. He commented and ridiculed all the four great princes in Kyoto. Alas..."

At this point, he sighed again and said: "When that boy said bad things about you, Your Highness, the servant immediately retorted, but he...he came up and slapped the servant on the face. From that day on , every time he sees the slave, he will slap the slave. If Your Highness doesn’t believe it, you can ask the guards... The slave feels aggrieved... Wuwu..."

After saying that, he immediately covered his face and cried softly.

Nangong Jin clenched his fists, with a stern look in his eyes, and said, "Li Gui, don't cry. It depends on the owner to beat a dog. You are the person next to His Majesty after all, and the person I have played with since childhood. Since he dares to humiliate You, my prince, will certainly not spare him."

Li Gui quickly added: "Your Highness, it doesn't matter if I feel a little wronged. The main reason is that I am afraid that Your Majesty is young and will be deceived by that cunning boy. After all, that boy used to be the eldest princess's son and is loyal to the eldest princess..."

Nangong Jinyin's face was sullen, his eyes flashed with sternness, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "In that case, I will just come to test him today. To see if he is really loyal to His Majesty, or to others. dedicated!"

Li Gui's expression changed, and he quickly asked in a low voice: "What are you going to try, Your Highness?"

Nangong Jin's eyes flashed, he took out a letter from his arms, and sneered: "This is a secret message from the border army. Li Gui, you go to him later and say that I want to see him. Take him to the pavilion in the back garden. When the time comes, I will deliberately leave this secret letter to see his reaction. Whether he picks it up or not, I will make the decision and ask you to return the slaps he gave you. !”

At this point, he snorted coldly: "If he dares to hide secretly, he and his Qin family will be executed by everyone, and no one will be left behind!"

When Li Gui heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he immediately thanked him profusely, and his heart blossomed with joy.

Nangong Jin waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait in the pavilion behind."

Li Gui immediately agreed and left in a hurry, his heart filled with the pleasure of revenge.

When he took two eunuchs to the square outside the Jinluan Palace, he quickly saw the elegant young man wearing a large Confucian robe.

"You little bastard! Your death has come!"

Li Gui gritted his teeth and said secretly in his heart, but his face was calm. He lowered his head, walked over quickly, and said respectfully: "Mr. Luo, the prince of the Thai palace wants you to go."

Luo Qingzhou stared at his eyes when he walked over from a distance, and still looked into his eyes and said: "Does the prince want to see me for something?"

At this time, Qin Wenzheng, Qin Chuan and others also looked over.

Li Gui lowered his head and said respectfully, "Your Highness loves poetry very much. I just learned from the Queen Mother that Mr. Luo is talented and good at poetry, so I want to meet Mr. Luo and make friends with him."

Luo Qingzhou stared into his eyes and said, "Oh? Really?"

Li Gui said, "Yes, Mr. Luo, please come in quickly, don't let His Highness wait anxiously."

Luo Qingzhou's eyes moved, and he turned to Qin Wenzheng and others and said, "Father-in-law, you wait here, I'll be back soon."

Bai Ling on the side immediately said crisply, "Son-in-law, I'll go with you."

Li Gui looked up at her, with a touch of surprise in his eyes, and said respectfully, "This girl, His Highness does not see outsiders, only Mr. Luo."

Bai Ling wanted to speak, but Luo Qingzhou said, "You stay here with the lady, I can go by myself."

Li Gui was delighted and immediately said, "Mr. Luo, please."

Luo Qingzhou walked in front calmly

Qin Wen Zheng looked at their backs, frowning slightly.

Qin Chuan said worriedly: "Dad, I heard in the academy that the Thai prince has been domineering in Kyoto since he was a child, bullying the weak, and has a bad reputation. Let Qingzhou go alone, won't it be a problem?"

Qin Wen Zheng glanced at him and said lightly: "What can happen? Do you think Qingzhou is as brainless as you?"

Qin Chuan: "..."

Luo Qingzhou walked forward and turned his head and asked: "Eunuch Li, where are we going now?"

Li Gui hurriedly walked beside him to lead the way, lowering his head and said: "Go to the Imperial Garden, His Royal Highness is waiting there."

Luo Qingzhou said: "Imperial Garden? Is His Majesty there?"

Li Gui said: "His Majesty is still burning incense and bathing, preparing various offerings, only His Royal Highness is there."

Several people walked forward while talking.

A team of patrol soldiers came on the road, glanced at them, and left quickly.

After the patrolling soldiers walked to the corner not far away, the leading captain said, "You go patrol ahead first, I'll go to the toilet."

After saying that, he hurried away.

"Mr. Luo, this way."

Li Gui led the way in front, his face full of respect, but his heart was getting more and more excited.

Thinking of the scene of this little bastard regretting it and being slapped by him personally, he couldn't help but grin, but fortunately he held it back.

Several people walked through the nine-curve corridor and came to the garden at the back.

Luo Qingzhou followed him, passed through a round door, and saw the young man standing in the pavilion in front at a glance.

The young man was wearing a luxurious brocade robe, with a slender figure and a handsome appearance. At this time, he was pacing in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about something.

The stone table in the pavilion was filled with colorful fruits and cakes.

Li Gui hurried over and said respectfully, "Your Highness, Young Master Luo is here."

Nangong Jin turned around and looked at the young man behind him.

Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and said, "I am Luo Qingzhou, I pay my respects to Your Highness."

Nangong Jin smiled and said, "Li Gui, please leave first. I will talk to Mr. Luo."

Li Gui immediately bowed his head and left.

Nangong Jin extended his hand and invited, "Mr. Luo, please come in and sit down to talk."

Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and said, "I will stand."

Nangong Jin smiled and said, "How can that be? I just came from the Queen Mother and heard that the Queen Mother praised Mr. Luo's talent. His Majesty also dotes on Mr. Luo. I also heard that even the Princess is particularly respectful to Mr. Luo. I, Nangong Jin, dare not neglect him."

As he said that, he invited again, "Sir, please come in."

Luo Qingzhou did not refuse and walked in with his head down.

Nangong Jin sat down first and said with a smile, "Please sit down, sir."

At this time, two palace maids came over, poured tea for the two, and then immediately left.

Luo Qingzhou then sat down slowly.

Nangong Jin looked at him and said, "Sir, are you confident about next year's spring exam?"

Luo Qingzhou said, "I'm still preparing. As for whether I'm confident, I dare not say."

Nangong Jin smiled and said, "Since even the Queen Mother and His Majesty praised your talent, there must be no suspense about passing the spring exam next year. By the way, I wonder what you think of the demon tribe on the border?"

Luo Qingzhou said respectfully, "I have been studying at home and have not heard anything outside. I only know that the demon tribe has occupied my Great Yan city, and their crimes are extremely serious. Sooner or later, they will be exterminated by my Great Yan army. . "

Nangong Jin's eyes flashed, and he sighed, "Originally, the princess went to the border. With her military talent, she could definitely destroy the demon tribe. Unfortunately, for some reason, the princess did not take action. Now the princess has suddenly returned to Kyoto, and the troops on the border have been handed over to my father. Alas, I heard that the demon tribe has received many reinforcements, and my father dare not act rashly."

As he was speaking, Li Gui suddenly hurried over and said, "Your Highness, someone is looking for you in front, please go over."

Nangong Jin slowly stood up after hearing this and said, "Mr. Luo, please sit for a while. I'll be back soon. It's still early before the Taikang Banquet. Don't worry, sir. I'll ask you about poetry later."

Luo Qingzhou stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, please go first."

Nangong Jin nodded and immediately followed Li Gui and left quickly.

After the two walked out of the round door, Luo Qingzhou glanced at the seat he had just sat on. There was a letter on the ground.

He turned around, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the pond outside the railing.

In the pond, the red goldfish showed their heads and were breathing the fresh air outside.

Luo Qingzhou stood at the railing for a while and suddenly walked outside.

Li Gui, who was hiding not far away and peeking at him, immediately came out and entered through the round door, shouting: "Mr. Luo, where are you going?"

Luo Qingzhou walked out of the pavilion and said: "I want to walk around."

Li Gui walked over quickly and said: "Mr. Luo, wait a moment, His Royal Highness will be here soon. If you leave now, His Royal Highness will not be able to see you when he comes back, or His Majesty will suddenly summon you, and I really can't explain it."

Luo Qingzhou said: "I will just walk around in the garden, not far away."

Li Gui glanced at the letter under the stone table, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Mr. Luo, you should wait in the pavilion. This is the imperial garden, you can't walk around."

As he said, he hurriedly walked into the pavilion, walked to the stone table, and smiled: "Mr. Luo, there are so many cakes and fruits here. If you are hungry, you can eat whatever you want."

Luo Qingzhou walked over and stood with him. He looked at the cakes on the table and said, "Okay, I'll wait here."

Li Gui lowered his head and secretly glanced at the ground. He stepped on the letter with his foot and moved outside to a more conspicuous place. Then he smiled and said, "Mr. Luo, wait a moment. I'll go see if His Royal Highness the Prince has come out."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away quickly, with a sneer on his lips, muttering in his heart, "Little bastard, pick it up quickly! As long as you touch it, you're dead!"

He didn't go far, hiding behind the rockery not far away, peeking at the situation in the pavilion from the cracks in the stone.

Luo Qingzhou stood in front of the stone table, ate a cake, paced left and right, suddenly lowered his head, looked at the ground, then raised his head and looked around.

Li Gui was delighted when he saw this scene, and he immediately hid himself. After a few seconds, he looked up and peeked into the pavilion.

At this time, Luo Qingzhou had already sat back on the stone bench.

Li Gui couldn't see inside, so he waited for a while and immediately walked outside.

At this time, Nangong Jin was standing in the corridor outside waiting.

Li Gui walked over quickly, whispering excitedly, "Your Highness, it should be done! The boy found the letter on the ground, I wonder if he has picked it up."

Nangong Jin's eyes showed a sinister look, and he sneered, "If he picked it up, no one can save him. If he turns a blind eye, I will find fault with him later and let you slap him. Li Gui, you will slap him hard later. If anything happens, I will take responsibility!"

Li Gui was overjoyed when he heard this, and said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Nangong Jin said again, "Go, call a few more eunuchs and palace maids to testify. If he doesn't take it out later, you will notify His Majesty immediately."

Li Gui immediately agreed and turned to leave.

Nangong Jin walked to the round gate of the back garden first, looking at the figure in the pavilion with a cold look.

At the same time

The eldest princess and the queen mother came to the emperor's bedroom together, ready to go to the Golden Palace with him to offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for blessings.

Soon, Li Gui had brought four or five eunuchs and palace maids to Nangong Jin's back.

Nangong Jin turned his head and looked at them, and said with a serious face: "This prince has a letter left in this garden, you all come to help find it."

The eunuchs and palace maids listened and immediately agreed respectfully.

Nangong Jin and Li Gui looked at each other, walked into the round gate, and walked towards the pavilion while searching in the grass on the left and right sides of the road.

When the two came to the pavilion and looked under the stone table in the pavilion, the letter that had fallen there before had disappeared at this moment.

Li Gui was overjoyed!

Nangong Jin narrowed his eyes and walked into the pavilion, with a faint smile on his face, looking at the young man in front of him, waiting for his decision.

If he took it out and gave it back to him, he would not be sentenced to death, but he would still be beaten.

If he secretly hides it and doesn't take it out, then no one can save him and his entire Qin family!

There was silence in the pavilion for a few seconds.

He didn't take it out.

A sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of Nangong Jin's mouth.

At this time, Li Gui immediately left quickly, walking as fast as flying.

He ran through the corridor and stumbled into the house, saying with fear on his face: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's not good!"

In the room, Emperor Nangong Yang was wearing a luxurious new dragon robe. He was talking to the Queen Mother and the eldest princess. Hearing this, he immediately angrily shouted: "Why are you panicking? Didn't you see the Queen Mother and the Princess are here?"

Li Gui immediately made a "pop" sound, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed: "The Queen Mother, Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, it is the slave who is reckless. The slave deserves to die, the slave deserves to die!"

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Xiao Guizi, why are you so flustered?"

Li Gui said quickly: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, the Crown Prince of Thailand was bored outside just now, so he asked Mr. Luo to go to the Royal Garden to talk about poetry. Unexpectedly, the secret letter of the Crown Prince of Thailand suddenly disappeared. His Royal Highness was looking for it in the Royal Garden. I haven't found it for a long time..."

The Queen Mother asked: "What secret message?"

Li Gui raised his head, glanced at the eldest princess, hesitated, and said, "It came from the border army..."

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother's face suddenly changed, and she immediately said: "Let's go and take a look together. You immediately call up all the servants outside and let's search together."

Nangong Yang said quickly: "Mother, don't worry. Since it fell in the garden behind, you can naturally find it. It's not good if there are too many people. If someone takes it away deliberately, it will be troublesome."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right, let's go take a look first."

Seeing that the eldest princess was still sitting there drinking tea, Nangong Yang quickly said: "Sister Huang, let's go together, Luo Qing is also there."

Nangong Huoyue glanced at him, but before she could speak, the Queen Mother had already pulled her and said, "Let's go, Huoyue, let's go take a look together."

At this time, in the pavilion of the Royal Garden.

After a moment of silence, Nangong Jin suddenly asked: "Mr. Luo, did you pick up anything just now?"

Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled when he heard this, and said respectfully: "Did something fall, Your Highness? I was in this pavilion just now and didn't see it."

Nangong Jin smiled and said, "Forget it if you don't see it. Just let them look for it later."

At this time, the palace maids and eunuchs had already begun to search elsewhere.

Not long after.

A group of people suddenly walked in at the round door.

Li Gui asked in a high voice: "Your Highness, have you found the secret message?"

Nangong Jin looked at them, shook his head and said, "I haven't found it yet. I just asked Mr. Luo and he said he didn't see it."

Li Gui said doubtfully: "It's really strange. His Highness the Crown Prince probably didn't lose it in the corridor before, right? Why did the secret letter disappear when he came to the Imperial Garden? Did it fall into the water?"

Nangong Jin looked at the pond below and said, "If it falls into the water, it will naturally float on it. That letter is made of special materials."

After saying that, he immediately walked out of the pavilion and greeted her respectfully: "Meet the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the eldest princess."

The Queen Mother frowned and looked around, then at the young man in the pavilion.

Luo Qingzhou also walked out and bowed his head to pay homage.

Nangong Huoyue glanced at him and suddenly said, "Mr. Luo, did you really not see that letter?"

Everyone looked at the young man behind Nangong Jin.

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said respectfully: "I have been staying in the pavilion, and I really haven't seen it."

Nangong Huoyue was silent for a moment and said: "Tab Mo on your body first. Maybe you forgot. If you really find it, take it out quickly. Anyone who doesn't know is not guilty."

Nangong Yang glanced at her and moved the corners of his mouth slightly.

Luo Qingzhou still lowered his head and replied respectfully: "I didn't pick it up. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, I can swear on it."

Nangong Huoyue frowned slightly, and when he was about to speak, Nangong Jin on the side suddenly said: "There is no need to swear, I will search it. Mr. Luo, don't blame me, the letter I dropped was a secret message sent from the border. Faith is too important to lose.”

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment and did not speak.

Nangong Jin's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, what's wrong? Are you afraid to let me search you, or is there another reason?"

The jade hands in Nangong Huoyue's sleeves were slowly clenched.

Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, you are not the only one who came to the Royal Garden just now, right?"

Nangong Jin showed a sneer on his face and said: "Don't worry, in addition to Mr. Luo, the people who just came here include me, Eunuch Li, and two maids. They will be searched later, and everyone will be searched." I won’t let it go.”

When Luo Qingzhou heard this, there was still a look of hesitation on his face.

The more he behaves like this, the more suspicious everyone looks at him.

Nangong Huoyue was about to speak when he suddenly said: "Your Highness, if you want to search your body, can you find a woman to do the search? I have been afraid of being touched by men since I was a child. Ordinary collisions will be forgotten. If you want to be touched all over your body, , I really can’t stand it.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone said: "..."

Nangong Huoyue suddenly said: "Yueying, go search."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Nangong Yang on the side suddenly laughed and said: "Sister Huang, there is no need to trouble your people. There are so many palace maids here, just let them go. After all, men and women are not close to each other, so we can't embarrass Miss Yueying."

Nangong Huoyue narrowed her eyes and said no more.

At this time, the Queen Mother suddenly said: "Wan'er, go and search."

Standing behind her, Changsun Wan'er bowed her head and agreed.

Nangong Yang glanced at her and said nothing more.
