"stop!"
The imperial guards guarding the palace gate saw that the prince was about to take action. The person grabbing the collar was the personal eunuch beside His Majesty, and they hurriedly came to stop him.
Xiao Hezi didn't expect that Zhu Youxu would be so irritable and would take action whenever he disagreed, which was exactly what the rumors said.
"Let's think about it later! Otherwise, I'll cut out your tongue!"
Seeing Xiao Hezi's scared look and looking in the direction of the palace, Zhu Youxu directly shook Xiao Hezi away and pointed at the latter to warn him. After saying that, he was pressed out of the palace gate by the imperial guards.
Xiao Hezi looked at Zhu Youxu's leaving figure and knew that he was a master who was not easy to serve, so he quickly ordered one of his cronies to watch.
He returned to the palace. He didn't want to do such a hard job. Maybe Zhu Youxu went crazy one day and killed himself. His Majesty would not punish his imperial brother because of a eunuch.
He can still understand this.
"Why are you back? Didn't I ask you to look at Zhu Youxu?"
Chongzhen, who was watching the memorial in the palace, saw Xiao Hezi coming back and asked him doubtfully.
"Your Majesty, there was a little friction between the prince and I at the gate of the palace just now, so I asked one of my young eunuchs to go."
Xiao Hezi also knew that even if he didn't tell, Chongzhen would know what happened at the palace gate just now. So I thought about it and said it.
"Well, I understand."
"Your Majesty, me?"
Xiao Hezi thought that Chongzhen could say something, but he didn't expect that Chongzhen just knew it. This surprised Xiao Hezi, and the words he had prepared were not used at all. He looked at Chongzhen in surprise, not knowing what he should do. .
"Okay, I forgot to tell you just now. As my royal brother, I know him too well. If you really go to his palace and he is unhappy, your life will be really hard to protect. Come back by yourself, like this Very good too.”
When Zhu Youxu left just now, Chongzhen felt that he had made a mistake, but everyone had already left, so he could only wait until later to find someone to inform Xiao Hezi.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Hearing that Chongzhen was still worried about him, Xiao Hezi knelt on the ground and said excitedly.
"Um."
Chongzhen waved his hand. He was still very kind to the people around him, but he was also afraid that one day the people around him would harm him.
"Your Majesty, the prince seems to be targeting the Hu Mansion now. Should we send someone to protect him? I'm afraid that the prince will not give up."
Xiao Hezi stood up, walked to Chongzhen's side and said.
"Well, I have long heard that there are many beauties around Hu Yunqing. My imperial brother is a guy who can't walk around when he sees beauties. This time he must have fallen in love with Hu Yunqing's woman, so he sent more people to see and live in Zhu. Yuxu, don’t let him continue to mess around.”
Thinking that Hu Mansion had done nothing but just control the source of the disaster, he gave instructions to Xiao Hezi.
"I obey the order, send more manpower now!"
After hearing Chongzhen's arrangement, Xiao Hezi also felt that it made sense, so he was about to send someone. A Guardsman broke in.
"No, Your Majesty, on the way to transport the prince, many masked men appeared, and they kidnapped the prince!"
When the imperial guards broke in, they knelt on the ground and quickly reported to Chongzhen.
"What?"
"Your Majesty, I will immediately lead people to rescue the prince. I will definitely bring him back safely."
After Xiao Hezi heard that Zhu Youxu had been taken away, he anxiously said to Chongzhen.
"You go down first!"
Chongzhen remained silent, but frowned and looked at the imperial guards kneeling on the ground and said.
Xiao Hezi didn't understand why the imperial army was allowed to go out.
"Your Majesty, time is waiting for you! Your Majesty cannot fall into the hands of the other party. We still don't know what the other party's purpose is."
Seeing that Chongzhen still looked calm, Xiao Hezi said to him anxiously.
"Don't worry, you go and ask the Yamen to look for it first. Then notify the Dongchang side and be willing to look for it. If you can't find it, forget it."
"ah?"
After hearing the emperor's instructions, Xiao Hezi froze in place with his mouth wide open, not understanding what the emperor meant by this arrangement.
"Don't you understand what I mean?"
Chongzhen looked at the surprised little Hezi, his face instantly darkened and asked him.
"Slave obeys the order!"
Looking at Chongzhen's expression, Xiao Hezi seemed to understand something, and quickly followed the order and left the palace anxiously.
First, he went to the Yamen and asked all the Yamen to go out to look for Zhu Youxu.
"Eunuch He, why are you free to come to our small temple today?"
Wei Zhongxian's health was getting worse day by day, and Xiao San was in charge of most things in the entire Dongchang.
When Xiao San heard someone say that Xiao Hezi was here, he hurried to the lobby and asked Xiao Hezi enthusiastically.
"It turns out to be Master Xiao. I was sent by His Majesty to deliver a message."
Seeing that it was Xiao San who came to see him, Xiao Hezi didn't ask for help, so he responded with a smile.
"What is your Majesty's will?"
Hearing that His Majesty sent him here, Xiao San quickly stood up and asked.
"Today, King Zhu Youxu of Xianghuai was kidnapped by a group of unknown people. Your Majesty will give in."
"I understand, I'll send someone to find him right now!"
"Wait a moment!"
Before Xiao Hezi finished speaking, Xiao San thought he just found the prince and was about to go out to call someone, but Xiao Hezi quickly stopped him.
"Eunuch He, is there anything else you haven't explained?"
Xiao San, who was stopped, looked at Xiao Hezi doubtfully and asked.
"What we are talking about now is top secret. Only you can know it. If the second person knows it, you will know your fate!"
Xiao Hezi preached to Xiao San seriously.
"Sir, you called us?"
The person who was called by Xiao San just now also came to the door and stood respectfully at the door to salute.
"Eunuch He has brought His Majesty's secret decree. You must fully cooperate with Eunuch He from now on."
Hearing that it was such a top secret, Xiao San didn't want to be involved. He looked at the few cronies at the door, including Xuan Yi, who was currently cultivating him.
Finally, after thinking about it, he decided to sacrifice them and ordered a few people.
"As you command!"
After several people entered the lobby, Xiao San walked out of the lobby, glanced at Xiao Hezi, and closed the door.
Xiao Hezi didn't expect Xiao San to be so cruel and abandon his subordinates.
Xiao San has been waiting outside, waiting for a stick of incense before the people inside came out.
Seeing that none of these people spoke to him, he quickly left the East Factory.
"Master Xiao!"
Just when Xiao San was about to stop someone, Eunuch He's voice sounded from behind.
"Eunuch He, are there enough people? If not, I will call you again."
Xiao San turned over with a smile and asked Xiao Hezi.
Xiao Hezi watched those people leave and nodded with satisfaction.
"That's enough. You don't need me to explain the rest, right?"
