a few minutes ago
"I have always heard that His Royal Highness the King of Shu is the most kind-hearted. Manager Zhang is really envious of us to follow such a master."
Unbeknownst to others, the people next door who were listening attentively heard this sentence and immediately understood what the people in the room were doing.
It was actually a few businessmen and a steward of the Shu Prince's Palace who was complimented and flattered by the businessmen?
Among all the princes and princes, the King of Shu is indeed unique. Even his great-grandson, before he was appointed as the crown prince, had a mixed reputation due to the renovation of the wild temple.
Only the King of Shu has always had a good reputation among literati. It is said that this man is very polite and virtuous.
However, the core of the people sitting at this time was Mr. Yang, who was from Prince Qi's palace. Hearing this, the people around him showed disdain. One of them followed his lead and sneered in a low voice: "The prince's affairs are also those of the people below. People can discuss it? Everyone says that the Shu Prince’s government is very strict, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that!”
"Yes, this is still the steward of the Shu Prince's Mansion. He doesn't even know this, and it is just an embroidered pillow!" someone said next.
The word "ye" is used wonderfully.
He did not openly mock the King of Shu, but he also included the King of Shu in his ridicule.
However, these people from Prince Qi's Mansion didn't take this episode seriously. They thought that the steward from Prince Shu's Mansion next door was drunk, so they said that. Since the businessmen next door started to change the topic, they shouldn't I will continue talking.
If someone has no rules and is reminded of a slip of the tongue, they will naturally shut up.
Unexpectedly, just when these people picked up Kuaizi again, raised their wine glasses, and planned to continue eating and drinking, there was another sound in the private room on the other side of the screen. The loudly amplified sound was the drunk Shu. In charge of the royal palace.
"What? You don't want to know the secret of the prince's death?"
"What about immortality? Have you all heard of such rumors?"
"However, when we talk about immortality, we just treat it as an enviable rumor. Who would take it seriously?"
"Even if there really is an elixir of immortality, who has the ability to find it or refine it? But there are always some people in the world who can do this!"
"It would be better to say...that person sitting on the dragon throne is the supreme, most powerful and noble person in the world. He just wants to live forever, and he has really found the formula to live forever!"
"But this recipe requires the prince's heart to refine the medicine!"
"So many years ago, our emperor dug out the prince's heart to make elixirs. Now he has another twenty years of life. Now that the effect of the medicine is about to expire, the emperor now wants to take the heart of his grandson to make elixirs!"
Zhang Zhou seemed unable to see several businessmen who were so frightened that they were trembling all over and could not even speak. They shouted these words that made people's hair stand on end.
Not to mention the businessmen in front of them, even the people in Prince Qi's Mansion in the next room were dumbfounded. They heard a "pop" sound, but someone couldn't hold the wine glass and fell it, smashing it into pieces, and the wine was also spilled. Several people's robes.
"This... this... is really... really..." Even Mr. Yang was so frightened that he was speechless.
They had thought that this person was bold enough even when he was drunk, but the manager showed them with practical actions that he could be even bolder!
"This... this... this is treason!" The businessman sitting next to Zhang Zhou was shaking, unable to sit still, and fell to the ground.
The businessman a little further away also fell to the ground with a wine glass in his hand, making a crisp cracking sound.
"Run away!" Several businessmen looked pale. They seemed to have been awakened by the sound of breaking wine glasses. They hurriedly pushed away the tables and chairs, got up crazily amidst the clanking sound, opened the door and ran out.
Some fell down, but got up and continued running.
I was forced to hear such rumors. If I didn't run away, I would wait to die!
Certain death!
Several people from Prince Qi's Mansion in the next room also had pale faces. They looked at each other in panic, stood up in a hurry, and ran out in the same frenzy.
Mr. Yang ran first and fastest!
"What happened?"
In the empty elegant room, as the chaotic footsteps faded away, Zhang Zhou sat there, his brain that had been covered by something, at this moment, it was like the wind blew away the clouds and mist, suddenly revealing the clarity.
Zhang Zhou thought back to what he had just said. He had already stood up. With a pop, his legs went weak, and he sat back down again. His whole body was stunned.
Not only were his ears buzzing, but his head was also buzzing, and everything in front of him seemed strange.
"No, it's not me, it's not me! It's not me..." Zhang Zhou stayed for a long time, then suddenly realized, his face was as pale as a dead person, and he shook his head crazily.
"...Yes! It's ghosts and gods! It's ghosts and gods! It's not me..."
He wanted to stand up and run away, but when he realized what terrible words he had said, it was difficult to stand up. The smell of urine filled the air, and he was so frightened that he peed.
The screen turned to another side, and the two silent figures also moved.
The wild Taoist took a deep breath and said to the girl: "Let's leave quickly. Maybe the Imperial City Division will be dispatched soon."
"Even if someone hears such a secret, will it be silenced?" Zhou Yao stood up and asked.
"Of course it will, but I only need this excuse from him, as long as he guarantees that he is the one who said it. I have already sent people to prepare. Early tomorrow morning, this rumor will spread throughout the capital..."
The wild Taoist opened the door and said coldly: "And there are people from Prince Qi's palace next door. As long as the matter spreads, the suspicion will be spread by Prince Qi's people."
Zhou Yao lowered her head and followed the wild Taoist out of the screen.
Zhang Zhou was still sitting there, shaking all over. Because Zhou Yao and the wild Taoist two went out, not only Zhang Zhou didn't see them, but even the people in the restaurant didn't notice that the two of them were walking out of the noisy restaurant. Place to stroll out.
When she walked out of the restaurant and faced the bullock cart, Zhou Yao couldn't help but look back. This restaurant was not small, as big as an acre, and it was definitely over this time.
She thought thoughtfully: "Did His Majesty also use this method back then?"
"It's a pity that I didn't pay attention back then."
Huangchengsi·Wuxi Hutong
Less than five hundred meters away from the restaurant, it was the Imperial City Division's stronghold outside the palace. As in the past, although there were many people coming in and out, the people who came in and out kept their voices as low as possible. The entire stronghold was quiet and cold.
"Damn it!"
In a room, there was a person sitting who just got angry and slapped the table, causing all the cups and cups on the table to jump.
The man who served him lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
There was a singer beside her who was playing the pipa and singing in a low voice. Her face was pale at this moment and her voice was much softer.
"You surnamed Hu, when you fall into my hands one day, I will force you to call me grandpa!" Ma Shunde became angrier as he spoke. He picked up the cold wine and took a big sip.
As the cold wine entered his throat, his originally annoyed mood was slightly relieved.
But the uneasiness is still there.
I don't know if it was his misunderstanding. Recently, he felt that he was gradually losing the emperor's trust.
hateful!
How much energy did you waste by squeezing out old man Zhao?
The result was that Hu Huaian got an advantage!
At this moment, a person broke in from outside. Regardless of the gloomy atmosphere in the room, and without waiting for notification, he hurried to Ma Shunde, looking anxious and kowtowing repeatedly.
"Duke, it's bad, something happened, something big happened!"
