Prince Guang and his family came to the capital, but the news that the emperor, the queen, Concubine Qiao, the little princess, General Bai and Marquis Yongye had been offended spread throughout the capital.
Even an upright and slow-responsive minister like Zhang Yushi.
After hearing about it, I couldn't help but comment blankly: "Your Majesty is truly a warrior."
As soon as he returned to Beijing, he angered the most difficult people to offend.
Accurate strike is also a skill.
In the capital city, in an inconspicuous courtyard.
The gilt copper stove with crane pattern on the table is burning the delicious agarwood incense.
The fluffy spring weather casts traces of interlaced light and shadow on the house through the closed window panes.
A young prince sitting on the top chair was listening to the secret guard reporting the recent whereabouts of Prince Guang and his family.
"The prince offended General Bai because he tried to win over the general and indulged in women; he offended Marquis Yongye because he was disrespectful to the princess with his words;
At that banquet for General Bai and Marquis Yongye, not only did they get nothing, but I heard they were burned by chicken soup because the general overturned the table in anger."
"Later, Princess Rouqing had a dispute with Princess Yaoguang over a tree at the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies. In the evening, Princess Yu went to Concubine Qiao to intercede, but she was scolded;
The concubine tried to go to the queen again for comment, but Princess Rouqing was banned by the queen for five days in disguise on the grounds of recovering from illness, and she has not yet been able to leave the Zhuyou Palace."
When the secret guard mentioned Princess Guang, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at his master.
"As for the list of concubines in the harem that Princess Guang offended, their names are listed on the paper. Please read it carefully."
After that, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.
The young master took it and glanced at it briefly.
There are more than a dozen names densely packed.
After learning that Prince Guang had a bad start and had offended almost all the powerful forces.
The young master finally lost his temper.
He slammed his slender palms on the table, unable to maintain the elegant look on his face.
"These losers almost lost everything before they even started!"
The piece of paper with names written on it slowly fell from the table.
The secret guard silently felt his master's anger, but did not dare to persuade him.
He just said truthfully: "Now, the only one in Prince Guang's family who has not aroused public anger and is keeping his peace is the eldest son Gu Xinghan."
The young master raised his head: "Oh? As far as I know, Gu Xinghan is a frivolous and dissolute man who loves to cause trouble. Why is he honest this time?"
The secret guard pursed his lips and seemed to take a breath.
Then he cupped his hands and said: "Three days ago, the spring thunder resounded in the sky. His Royal Highness was probably afraid of the thunder. I heard that he had been lying in Zhuyou Hall for two days and has felt better recently."
The young master couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows.
His face was full of sorrow.
Originally, relying on his status as Prince Guang, he wanted to make plans in the court.
But I didn't expect that Guang Wang's family is so useless now.
After a long while, he spoke again: "You think of a way to send a message to Prince Guang, asking him to keep his profile low these days and keep his tail between his legs.
Don't come to me now, lest there are so many pairs of eyes staring at me, my identity will be exposed, and let him remember to take care of the people at home and don't cause trouble."
The secret guard immediately said: "Yes!"
The young master couldn't help but said: "By the way, are the people we arranged ready?"
"Don't worry, Sir, the man we are looking for stayed in the capital a few years ago. He later offended the princess and managed to escape death. If he comes back again, he will be ruthless and show no mercy."
"Keep an eye on it and don't make any more mistakes."
