In fact, strictly speaking, the tall bodyguard did not get the favor of Duke Liu.
But once, he got the prince's salvation.
His name is Wang Hao. He is about thirty years old.
He has been a palace guard for five years.
He didn't make any contribution, and because he was born in a civilian family with no background, no one promoted him all the time. He was always a little bodyguard.
Two years ago, because he accidentally offended a concubine in the harem, the concubine wanted to smuggle out some jewelry from his majesty and sell it outside the palace.
At that time, the maid in charge of the concubine gave him a lot of money in order to buy him off.
Not long after he entered the palace, he didn't have much courage. It was a big crime to sell royal jewelry.
He did not dare to do so, even if he refused the maid in waiting.
From then on, the concubine hated him unintentionally.
It was not long before the concubine was favored by her majesty.
Once a favored concubine gains power, the first thing is to clean up the people who have offended her.
So Wang Hao was the first to be dealt with.
The concubine directly asked people to take Wang Hao away, and asked him to take off his clothes and kneel in the ice and snow for a day and a night.
So cold day, wearing thick cotton padded clothes, standing in the snow for a while can not stand.
What's more, he was stripped of his clothes and knelt in the snow naked?
He is flesh and blood. How can he survive the cold?
So, he knelt all morning, then completely frozen fainted in the past.
At that time, Wang Hao thought that he was almost dead.
But when he woke up, he found that he was not dead.
But Mr. Liu sent someone to carry him back to his residence and sent a doctor to treat him.
At that time, he was grateful to Mr. Liu.
Liu Gonggong said to him with a smile that it was not he who saved his life, but his royal highness.
It was on the order of the prince that Duke Liu absolved him of his crime.
Because of the prince's intervention, the concubine did not dare to fight against the prince, so she did not dare to trouble Wang Hao any more.
He was able to keep this life, continue to work in the palace.
Otherwise, he would have gone to hell.
Wang Hao is not a stupid man. Although he didn't inquire about what happened in the palace, he almost knew about it.
He pulled an arm of Duke Liu, bent slightly, approached him and whispered to him.
"Mr. Liu Your majesty is still poisoned. When the Empress Dowager got the news, she came back from the mountain overnight. At this meeting, the Empress Dowager is already in her Majesty's bedroom. Moreover, not only the Empress Dowager came back, but also the fourth prince, Jun Lengyan, who was deposed from the throne Mr. Liu's face was full of surprise, and he turned to look at him in disbelief.
"The fourth prince, you cold face? He Isn't he dead? "
"According to the fourth prince, it was his majesty who sent someone to protect him secretly that he survived. More than that, your majesty issued a secret edict a few days ago, secretly summoning the fourth Prince back to the palace. " The tall bodyguard told Mr. Liu everything that had happened in the palace: "now, all the evidence indicates that the reason why your Majesty was poisoned and comatose is that it is related to your Highness the prince The Empress Dowager asked us to detain you just for the purpose of interrogating and poisoning. "
Duke Liu was shocked and stopped for a long time.
"How can it be? How could his highness be the murderer of poisoning his majesty? This is just nonsense... "
"It's not the time for Mr. Liu to investigate whether this matter is true or not. It's the time for some people to blame his Highness the crown prince for this crime regardless of whether it is true or not. At this moment, Mr. Liu, don't you understand the situation? They want to take advantage of his Majesty's coma, and then slander his Highness the prince for poisoning. They kill two birds with one stone and kill two birds with one stone. In addition to his majesty, he also dismounted his Royal Highness the prince.... " Wang Hao's eyes with a trace of anxiety, whispered to remind.
Duke Liu suddenly understood, and he said in a low voice: "yes It's all their conspiracy. They want to bring down your majesty completely, so as to blame the prince for all the faults. Jun Lengyan, this white eyed wolf, your majesty shouldn't have been so soft hearted and let him go. He should have been killed on the spot for a long time... "
Wang Hao glanced at the bodyguard next to him. The bodyguard just looked at him -
in order not to arouse the suspicion of another bodyguard, Wang Hao and Mr. Liu had a little play.
Wang Hao immediately stood up and kicked Mr. Liu.
"What are you doing? Why don't you hurry up? Even your majesty dares to poison you. It's a waste. Your majesty trusts you. "
Liu Gonggong was kicked and staggered. He glared at Wang Hao angrily.
"What are you staring at? You'll lose your head later. Cherish the next good time." Wang Hao gave a cold rebuke and escorted Mr. Liu to move forward quickly.All of a sudden, completely away from the other bodyguard several meters away.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Hao whispered to Mr. Liu.
"Mr. Liu, when you get there, I think they will torture you They may plant all this on your highness through you. You have to think of a way not to let them succeed. I don't know if your highness will be able to come back. I'm really afraid that when your highness comes back, it will be too late. "
Liu Gonggong was so worried that he bit his teeth and said to Wang Hao in a low voice.
"Are you restricted in your movements now?"
Wang Hao shook his head and immediately said, "not too limited, because I'm working under the eldest son of Duke Wei, so strictly speaking, I'm also a man of Duke Wei."
Liu Gonggong's eyes lit up slightly. His eyes twinkled. Then he took out a token from his sleeve while there was no one around.
"Then you will go out of the palace immediately, take this token and go to the fifth Prince When the fifth Prince looks at the token, he must know what to do. "
Wang Hao took the token and asked hesitantly, "is the fifth Prince credible? Strictly speaking, Duke Wei is his uncle. Will he really fight against his uncle for the sake of the prince? " With a sneer, Mr. Liu looked at Wang Hao.
"Don't forget that the emperor is the father of the fifth prince, and his highness is his elder brother. Besides, if it were not for the prince, his legs would have been broken. Now, his legs are as good as ever. Isn't it the prince who saved him? If he wants to be ungrateful, I have nothing to say... "
Wang Hao nodded immediately: "OK, I understand. I'll find an excuse to leave the palace immediately."
"Well, be careful Wang Hao, it's time for you to be a bodyguard. Once you've made great achievements in this sudden change, you'll wait to be a senior official. " Mr. Liu looked at Wang Hao with approval and said with a low smile.
