The housekeeper glanced at the child, who was wearing a rough blue cloth robe that was not old. As shabby as you want.
Even if you are giving a gift, shouldn’t you find a neat and beautiful child?
This "little king of hell" has always been willful. I heard that he killed the housekeeper of Prince Wu's Mansion last time he stayed in Suzhou for a few days. What is he playing now?
If they find out that I interrogated his messenger, I don’t know what the fuss will be like.
That's all, that's all, one more thing is worse than one less thing.
The housekeeper was muttering in his mind.
The child smiled at the housekeeper, showing a mouth full of yellow teeth, with a few missing. He has dark skin, thick eyebrows and narrow eyes, and his face is covered in black wrinkles.
"Go, go, I think you can't do anything as a child." The housekeeper was so frightened that he waved his hand and called a servant over to explain, "You lead him in, and then you can lead him in after he sees the princess." come out."
Along the way, the guards heard that he was sent by King Xiang to deliver gifts, and were not interested in questioning this dirty and ugly child.
The servant led the child to the gate of the princess's courtyard: "Here it is."
He knocked on the door, and a maid came out. After hearing what the servant said, she came to take the box from the child's hand.
The child hugged the box tightly and asked, "My Highness told me to hand it over to Princess Qin personally. Are you Princess Qin?"
The maid blushed: "I'm not. But you can't come in."
The child rolled his eyes: "Then you call the princess to come out."
The maid didn't know whether to laugh or cry and could only go back to reply.
Wang Xiaoyue was also very confused: I heard that Zhu Bai was also a demon king, but he was so polite. They also specially ask people to come to deliver gifts.
It seemed that he was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so he specially called a child to deliver her.
"Bring him in quickly, don't neglect His Highness's envoy."
The child stood in the yard holding the box, not timid at all. He turned his head and looked at the yard carefully, and looked at Wang Xiaoyue.
Wang Xiao's face is like a full moon, white and gentle.
She may not be very beautiful, but she has a gentle and calm demeanor.
Anyone who looks at it will think that she is more suitable to be a concubine than Deng Zhiqiu.
People like Deng Zhiqiu are harmful to their children, grandchildren, and husbands. Being able to become a concubine was all for Deng Yu's sake.
Wang Xiaoyue asked warmly: "Young Master, what did His Highness ask you to bring to me?"
The child stretched the box forward and said, "I don't know. His Highness just said to ask the queen to avoid others and open it."
Wang Xiaoyue asked the maid to go out, closed the courtyard door, and opened the small box, but there was only a stone inside.
Could it be that kid Zhu Bai is playing tricks on me?
Wang Xiaoyue frowned and took a step back.
But the child smiled and cupped his hands: "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time, but it's okay. I had heard that my sister-in-law has a reputation as a Guanyin slave, but I didn't believe it until I saw her today. I dressed up like this today, and everyone in the palace looked at me, except my sister-in-law. A little bit of disgust and arrogance. No wonder my father is willing to let you be the concubine of my number one vassal in the Ming Dynasty."
In this world, no one wants to hear others praise themselves.
Anyway, it doesn’t cost anything to say nice things, so just say them hard.
Wang Xiaoyue frowned slightly and looked at the boy carefully without saying anything.
The boy took out his sign that said "I am here in person".
Only Zhu Bai has this in the world.
This is the best proof of Zhu Bai's identity.
Wang Xiaoyue hurriedly saluted and said, "Ah. Your Highness, why are you dressed like this?"
Zhu Bai said: "I want to discuss something with my sister-in-law, but I don't want my eldest brother to know."
Wang Xiaoyue sighed, but said nothing.
Zhu Bai said: "I know that Deng Zhiqiu was kidnapped by your brother."
Wang Xiaoyue frowned: "I can't do anything about this."
Zhu Bai said: "No, no, I'm not here to let my sister-in-law solve this problem. I want to help."
Wang Xiaoyue lowered her eyes and said nothing.
She was not familiar with Zhu Bai and didn't know what kind of medicine he sold in his gourd.
Her identity is very subtle and she can make many mistakes.
Zhu Bai: "I want to rescue Deng Zhiqiu and exchange him with his second brother for master and apprentice Hongyuan."
Wang Xiaoyue then said: "This is the best, the best of both worlds."
She doesn't like Deng Zhiqiu.
I originally thought that Zhu Ming's violent and wanton temper was all due to Deng Zhiqiu's willfulness and unruliness.
But when Deng Zhiqiu was away, Zhu Ping was even worse.
He is almost crazy, like an evil ghost in the underworld, who regards human life as nothing.
Everyone in the palace was having a hard time.
The servants could run away if they couldn't bear it, but she had nowhere to go.
Because she stayed in the palace, even if Lao Zhu caught Wang Baobao, he would spare Wang Baobao's life for her sake and persuade him to surrender.
If she leaves, Lao Zhu will have no scruples and will drive Wang Baobao away and kill him.
And if there is no royal land in the world, where can she go?
Who dares to take her in?
If Deng Zhiqiu is rescued, Zhu Ping can return to his previous state. She doesn't care that Zhu Ping only favors Deng Zhiqiu.
As long as Zhu Ping stops being violent to other people, that will be fine.
Zhu Bai: "I can rescue Deng Zhiqiu, but I'm afraid that my second brother won't let Hongyuan go."
Wang Xiaoyue: "The King of Qin had only locked up Master Hongyuan before because he was afraid that the emperor would punish Concubine Deng. Now he is riding a tiger and is afraid that Master Hongyuan will complain to the emperor, which will be detrimental to him. In fact, although Master Hongyuan is a monk, he is only a monk after all. Minister. Moreover, Hongyuan is not in serious trouble. Even if he complains to the emperor, the emperor will at most say a few words to the King of Qin and then send the monks. If the concubine promises His Highness the King of Qin to take the blame and not involve the concubine, the King of Qin will see him again. When Concubine Deng returns safely, she will naturally regain her senses and let Master and Disciple Hongyuan go."
Zhu Bai hurriedly handed over his hands: "That's very good. Thank you sister-in-law."
Wang Xiaoyue sighed softly: "I am the one who should thank His Highness. I am sorry that you are so young, but you have to think about these things for your brother."
Suddenly there was a cry from outside: "Fire, fire!"
The maid knocked on the door: "Madam, there is a fire outside our courtyard wall. Go out and take shelter."
Wang Xiaoyue opened the door, and the yard was filled with thick smoke.
Wang Xiaoyue said: "Your Highness, still holding the box, I will escort Your Highness out of the back door."
Zhu Bai: "Sister-in-law sends it in person, I'm afraid it might make people suspicious."
Wang Xiaoyue pondered for a moment: "Yes."
Wang Xiaoyue called a maid to send Zhu Bai out.
As soon as Zhu Bai opened the back door, he smelled a strange fragrance and his eyes turned black involuntarily.
"It's a trap."
He passed out the money and this thought flashed through his mind.
-----
Zhang Yu and the others were waiting at the back door, but Zhu Bai didn't come out. They were anxious and couldn't go in.
Suddenly, there was thick smoke billowing in the palace and there were shouts.
Zhang Yu gritted his teeth: "We can't wait any longer, let's go in and take a look."
Mao Xiang: "Master Zhang, don't worry, His Highness didn't blow the whistle. It shows that there is no danger."
Zhang Yu: "Is there a possibility that His Highness was subdued without even having a chance to blow the whistle?"
Mao Xiang: "That's true. You and Fugui stay here, and I'll go to the front door to have a look. If I don't come back with His Highness within a quarter of an hour, then I haven't seen His Highness, and I will directly ask the King of Qin from the front to hold him back." Him. Then, go in through the back door and find a way to find His Highness."
Zhang Yu thought for a while: "That's very good."
Mao Xiang walked around to the front, only to see Li Jinglong saying goodbye to Zhu Xi, getting into the carriage and leaving.
There was no sign of Zhu Bai.
