"Your Highness, the dew is heavy at night. It's time for you to go to bed and rest..."
Yan luoqian's white face suddenly became iron blue, "what's the rest? Seven or seven... Why, it's not even easy for me to speak now? Huh? "
The word "um" implicitly contained three points of anger.
His Highness the prince is usually gentle and elegant. He always speaks in an orderly way. Rarely has his anxious face changed like this.
The two little eunuchs often serve your highness. They are smart. When your highness said that someone's name was omitted, they immediately knew it and looked at each other. One is ready to prepare a horse and the other is ready to report to your majesty.
"Come back, I'll go to the stable with you."
This
"Your Highness, the stables are not very clean and not suitable for your noble status. Let's go?" The small eunuch has a clear division of labor. The prince's Highness has to go out in the middle of the night without protection. It's absolutely impossible. It's best to send a guard team.
But Yan luoqian immediately rejected the proposal, "no, time is tight. Let's go and get back quickly. You two can follow."
The two little eunuchs sniffed at the corners of their mouths.
Is the prince kidding?
It's a great event for the crown prince to go on a tour. In case of any good or bad, their heads will not be protected. I'm afraid the whole family will suffer.
"Your Highness, if your majesty knows about your sneaking out of the palace, the slaves will die!" The two little eunuchs were scared to death. They didn't know which immortal they had offended. They had blood and mold for eight generations and let them share it.
"It doesn't matter. If anything happens, the palace will bear it. Let's go." Yan luoqian was determined.
Even if the two little eunuchs had great courage, they did not dare to disobey the prince's order. They could only take the prince to the stables to choose horses. Yan luoqian had palace cards, the Palace door was opened, and three horses galloped past, raising bursts of dust.
In the daytime, the busy shops had already closed and rested. There was only the sound of horse hoofs flying on the wide street. The prince rode in front of him, followed by two small eunuchs. Soon after running, the prince reined in his horse and stopped at the gate of the Chengguo government.
"Call the door!"
"This..." the little eunuch was a little embarrassed. "Prince, this is not in line with the rules..."
Not only is it not in line with the rules, it is quite out of line with the rules. According to the regulations of the great Yan state, members of the royal family, including Emperor Yan, empress dowager, crown prince, imperial concubine and other royal families, must be strictly forbidden three miles away, spread a red carpet, bathe and change clothes, and the ministers kneel down to meet each other.
But in the middle of the night, his royal highness went to the courtiers' residence without saying, and he had to call the door! This is something that never happened in any dynasty.
"Whatever you're afraid of, you can go if you want. If something happens, I'll bear it."
At that time, as soon as Yan Tianji, Duke of Cheng, lay down, a servant reported that there were distinguished guests.
Yan Tianji was surprised that it was so late. Who would come? Besides, now his daughter is locked up in Dali temple as a suspect. Those who have always disagreed with him in the court just want to clap their hands to celebrate, and those who look good on weekdays and want to leave themselves when they are in trouble will not come.
Who else?
Doubts returned to doubts. Yan Tianji got up to meet him.
"I don't know, sir..." he just said four words and kept his back to him. The man with the cloak turned around, lifted his cloak and smiled at him, "Cheng Guogong, I'm disturbing you late at night."
The visitor's hair is tied with a gold crown inlaid with rubies, and his face is as noble and elegant as ever. He wears a white gauze dress with gold edging. He is incomparable.
"Your Highness!" Yan Tianji was shocked physically and mentally, "you are..." dressed so strangely. If you don't say, there are only two followers of the crown prince, isn't it too casual?
Just as he was about to ask, he found that the prince was winking at himself. Yan Tianji suddenly realized that he looked serious. "Come on, take the two fathers-in-law down for tea. Please follow me, Prince."
Yan Tianji took the prince to his study. After the hot tea came up, he asked, "I don't know if the prince came at midnight, but what's important?"
In fact, Yan Tianji is still playing drums in his heart. He doesn't know which one the prince sings.
A few hours ago, he begged his majesty for Yan Qiqi's affairs. Unexpectedly, he was shut down, but now the crown prince has come again. He is a little confused.
Looking at Yan Tianji's slightly inquisitive eyes, Yan luoqian smiled, "Lord Hou doesn't have to be so nervous. I just want to discuss with Lord Hou how to get Qiqi out."
Yan Tianji immediately understood this.
The crown prince's Thoughts on 77 have long been known, but
He sighed with a long sigh, and his eyes were sharp and cold. "Your Highness, why bother to wade through this muddy water."
Yan luoqian didn't think so. He still said to himself, "the palace has begged the father emperor yesterday. The palace guessed that the father emperor should just want to stop the rumor and give an explanation to the Shenjun palace. After all, Mrs. Han is crying every day at the emperor's grandmother."
Mrs. Han is the illegitimate daughter of the Empress Dowager. It is a secret tacitly understood by the royal family. The Empress Dowager has a soft ear and is probably instigated. Therefore, Emperor Yan is in a dilemma.
Everyone has their own difficulties. It's easy to understand if you push yourself to others.
"I came here this time to ask the Marquis to rest assured that although I love Qiqi, I will never force people to be difficult, nor will I use it as a threat to force the Duke of Cheng to agree to any request of me. Even as an ordinary friend, Qiqi once saved my life, and it is reasonable to save her."
At the moment, Yan Tianji has mixed feelings in his heart.
He didn't know the prince's friendship for July 7th. In those words, he didn't hold the crown prince's noble identity. He didn't call himself "the palace" but directly use the word "I". He was indirectly telling him that he would never fall into a well by relying on the crown prince's identity in dealing with July 7th.
At the same time, he was very moved.
Since ancient times, there have been many icing on the cake, but there are few charcoal in the snow. The crown prince is noble, but he is still anxious. He even pointed out that help is not for return. Yan Tianji moved his mouth, but found that he had nothing to say.
