Xu Da did not keep Zhao Changge waiting. About half an hour later, Xu Da walked in with a young man.
Xu Miaojin and others who were waiting outside saw Zhu Biao coming and immediately saluted respectfully: "Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."
With a warm smile on his face, Zhu Biao supported him with his hand and said, "This is not a palace. You don't need to be so polite. Please get up."
Xu Huizu and others secretly glanced at Zhu Biao. Unexpectedly, his father entered the palace to invite His Highness the Crown Prince. What was it that required His Highness the Crown Prince to come in person? What on earth did Zhao Changge and His Highness the Crown Prince want to discuss? Curiosity was aroused.
Unfortunately, Xu Da didn't give them a chance to eavesdrop. He glared at Xu Huizu and others, and then sternly scolded: "You have nothing to do? Everyone, go back to your room."
Due to the majesty of their father, the brothers and sisters did not dare to say a word, and all left in a sullen manner.
Zhu Biao and Xu Da walked into the study and saw a young man in the study flipping through the books on the bookshelf boredly. Hearing footsteps, the man turned his head and looked Zhu Biao up and down, as if he was interested in Zhu Biao. Very curious, no need to think, this should be Zhao Changge.
While Zhao Changge was sizing up Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao was also sizing up Zhao Changge. This man's short hair is indeed an eyesore, and the clothes he wears are far different from those of Ming Dynasty. The most important thing was that the man clearly recognized his identity, but Zhu Biao couldn't see a trace of fear of power in his eyes.
He is indeed a strange man.
Zhu Biao thought secretly in his heart.
Seeing that Zhao Changge had no intention of saluting, Xu Da coughed lightly and said to Zhu Biao apologetically: "Your Highness, Mr. Zhao doesn't understand our rules. Please don't take offense to your Highness."
Zhu Biao waved his hands indifferently: "It's okay. Gu is not so stingy. Are you the Zhao Changge from later generations that Wei Guogong said?"
Although Xu Da had told Zhu Biao how amazing Zhao Changge was before he came, Zhu Biao would not praise Zhao Changge very much immediately. It was not that he did not believe in Xu Da's judgment, but that even if Zhu Biao believed in Zhao Changge It really comes from later generations, but if you want to gain Zhu Biao's respect, you must let Zhu Biao see Zhao Changge's ability in person.
"It is my first time to see the crown prince, who is said to be the most powerful in history. I was thinking too much and forgot to salute His Highness. Don't blame me." Zhao Changge said to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao laughed, walked directly to a chair nearby and sat down, and then Xu Da took the initiative to help close the door to the study.
"Gu learned from Wei Guogong that Mr. Zhao wanted to see Gu, and also said that Gu's eldest son would die of illness soon?" Zhu Biao went straight to the topic as soon as he came up. After all, it was about his own son. Of course Zhu Biao would Very concerned.
Zhao Changge met Zhu Biao's scrutinizing gaze and nodded gently: "Yes, there is no need for me to deceive His Highness, right?"
"How do you make Gu believe your words? It's hard to convince Gu just by Wei Guogong's guarantee." After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he looked at Xu Da apologetically and explained: "It's not that Gu doesn't trust Wei Guogong, it's just that it's a big deal. , I have to be careful."
Xu Da nodded to express his understanding.
Zhao Changge pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile: "I can't provide any evidence, but even if I don't have any evidence, His Highness can only choose to believe me, right? Is His Highness willing to bet with the life of your grandson whether I am telling the truth or not?" lie."
Good guy, Zhu Biao took another high look at Zhao Changge. This guy is indeed impeccable in speaking. Originally, Zhu Biao wanted to take the initiative in his own hands, but Zhao Changge snatched the initiative away with just one sentence.
Just as Zhao Changge said, no matter how much Zhu Biao didn't believe Zhao Changge's words, it was about the emperor and his grandson, and he had to be prepared. If he was not afraid of ten thousand, he would be afraid of the worst.
"Well, it's about the life of the emperor and grandson. I really don't dare to bet. Wei Guogong just told me that Xiongying will die of smallpox. I want to know, everything in the palace is heavily guarded. Why did Xiongying get infected with smallpox? If all Xiongying was infected , so alone, and even the entire palace should have a large number of people infected with smallpox, but it is not difficult to guess from your tone that this smallpox seems to have only affected heroes, why is this?" Zhu Biao raised his own question .
Zhao Changge leaned back gently on the chair: "I never said that Zhu Xiongying got smallpox in the palace."
Zhu Biao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he continued to ask: "Then it is even more impossible. Xiongying has never left the palace since he was a child. If he didn't get it in the palace, where did he get it?"
"According to historical records, when Zhu Xiongying visited the vassal territory with you, His Royal Highness, he was infected with smallpox on the way and died of the disease not long after returning to the palace."
Zhu Biao was silent, and Xu Da on the side could clearly see fear on Zhu Biao's expression for a moment.
There was silence for a long time. Zhu Biao suddenly stood up and bowed deeply towards Zhao Changge.
"Your Highness, why are you doing this?" Zhao Changge was also a little confused, because Zhu Biao's actions exceeded his imagination.
Zhu Biao straightened up and said with pleading in his tone: "Mr. Zhao, please save Xiongying."
Zhao Changge nodded: "The reason why I want to see His Highness is not to save the emperor's grandson's life, but I am very curious. Just now, His Highness clearly had doubts about my identity, but why was he suddenly convinced that something would happen to the emperor's grandson. "
Zhu Biao showed a wry smile: "Because just three days ago, my father came to Gu Gu just to let him inspect the fiefdoms of the kings. Firstly, to see how his brothers were doing, and secondly, to see if they had done anything in the fiefdoms. San Lai can be regarded as a warning to them, letting them know that the court will always pay attention to them. Moreover, the father intends to cultivate heroes and requires Gu to take heroes with him this time. This matter has not been officially notified, so only the father will follow Gu knows that what Mr. just said coincides with this matter, and Gu has no choice but to believe it."
So that's the case, no wonder Zhu Biao's attitude changed so much.
"Actually, Your Highness does not need to be so anxious. Since the emperor's eldest grandson got smallpox because he was on patrol, then it would be fine as long as the emperor's eldest grandson does not leave the palace." Xu Da, who had been silent for the whole time, suddenly reminded him.
Zhao Changge glared at Xu Da fiercely, seeing that Zhu Biao had believed in him. As long as Zhao Changge used this opportunity to make Zhu Biao owe a favor, his future plans would be much smoother. However, Xu Da was too talkative and suddenly reminded Zhu Biao, if Zhu Biao thinks that this can avoid Zhu Xiongying's tragedy, then Zhao Changge has been busy for so long, wouldn't it be in vain?
Seeing Zhao Changge's expression, Xu Da knew that he was talking too much, but he couldn't take back what he said, so he could only look at Zhao Changge apologetically.
