Chapter 80: The Third Young Master of the Gu Family
"Ran Zhuo? What's wrong?" Xia Jingyan looked confused and asked.
Zhou Ranzhuo quickly put his hands down.
"Yan'er, you don't know something, the prince..." Zhou Ranzhuo leaned into Xia Jingyan's ear and said, "I had a serious illness a few years ago and my brain was burned out!"
"Yeah!" Xia Jingyan was surprised.
Zhou Ranzhuo winked, patted his head, and shook his head. Xia Jingyan had no choice but to believe his behavior.
The prince was blowing his nose at the door and staring. What a guy! Call him stupid! But he couldn't say anything. He could only adjust his clothes and walk in pretending to be serious.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." The servants saluted the Crown Prince.
"Everyone, please go down and let me have a few words with Mr. Zhou." The prince said, shaking his sleeves.
"Yes." The servants all left, leaving only Zhou Ranzhuo, Xia Jingyan and the prince in the palace.
The prince sat next to Zhou Ranzhuo, inviting the two of them to come closer and talk.
"Lord Zhou, I have replaced all the people around my father. There is a banquet on the Baxiang Festival. After the banquet, my father will go back to his bedchamber alone. King Ling's servant won't leave anyone behind for him, so why not?"
He had no choice but to lie down and try his best to make him suspicious, so it is not difficult to get into the palace."
"What are we going to do?" Xia Jingyan frowned.
The prince turned around and smiled, "I will kill that old man..."
This is really the result. Sure enough, the battle between princes is the most terrifying thing in the world.
That's all, it's better than a war between East and West. Emperor Chu was already guilty of planning the war. It would be fine to kill one of him so that the prince could take over. However, this prince... also had to be careful! Xia Jingyan looked at the prince carefully.
"My servants don't have to worry, it's just that there is a hidden guard around my father." The prince added.
"But Yu Chengjun?" Zhou Ranzhuo asked.
"Yes, there are thirteen people in total. They are always protecting the master. Each one of them dances with a long whip. There is no one in Xijiang who can defeat him. He can't come forward. They don't listen to him either. They can only rely on the two of them." The prince's expression.
Become solemn.
"I have dealt with Yu Chengjun before, and he is indeed very skilled. Ran Zhuo, if we really want to implement this plan, we have to be careful." Xia Jingyan frowned.
The thirteen members of Yu Cheng were all top-notch masters and had been obedient to the emperor for generations. Emperor Yuan actually had nine people from the Silent Army to protect him, but those nine people had been controlled by Xia Jingsheng, but the thirteen members of Yu Cheng were still firmly in control.
It’s in the hands of Emperor Chu!
Xia Jingyan thought about how he was regarded as an assassin when he fought against Yu Chengjun. He himself was fine, but his sword Changhong made of thousand-year-old dark iron was broken into several pieces. If Xia Jingsheng hadn't gone there in time, he really wouldn't have been able to do it.
what happen.
"Mrs. Zhou, how did you come across Yu Chengjun? Who did you offend?" The prince approached Xia Jingyan with interest, but was pushed back by Zhou Ranzhuo.
"Oh, it's not a big deal. It's just that when I was young and didn't know Emperor Chu, I called him an old man in a daze. He asked someone to punish me, and I even injured him while he was guarding. Yu Chengjun then
Appear."
After Xia Jingyan finished speaking with a somewhat embarrassed smile, he glared at Zhou Ranzhuo. Of course, the meaning can be imagined: let Zhou Ranzhuo save some face for others!
"Mrs. Zhou has fought against each other, so she will understand better. When Chen Shigu comes, she will inform you two of the structure of the dormitory and Yu Chengjun's hiding place. You two should make preparations early. This is the best opportunity tonight, and you must not miss it."
"Okay." Zhou Ranzhuo responded.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't seen Mr. Zhou for a while. Can you please go to the study for a chat with Mr. Zhou and ask Mrs. Zhou to go to the garden with the Crown Princess?" the Crown Prince said again, his solemn expression turning to joy.
Xia Jingyan still understood this look, he just said a few words. Zhou Ranzhuo and the prince reunited after a long separation, could they still stop them? Xia Jingyan agreed.
"Quick! Give Mrs. Zhou some more tea and snacks, and call the Crown Princess!" The Crown Prince was extremely excited and was busy flattering Xia Jingyan, as if Xia Jingyan had done him a great favor.
Xia Jingyan had no choice but to accept it with a smile. The prince took Zhou Ranzhuo and ran away. Not long after, a woman who was very dignified in her clothes, walking, and talking walked in. She must be the Crown Princess of Xijiang. Xia Jingyan stood up and talked to the Crown Princess.
Give each other a bow.
"You all go down, I want to talk to Mrs. Zhou alone."
The Crown Princess was very childish both in appearance and tone of voice, which really made Xia Jingyan suspicious. Is this girl old enough to have hairpins? Did she get married so early?
The servants went out and closed the door. As Xia Jingyan expected, as soon as the door closed, the Crown Princess immediately took off her gorgeous coat, took off her tiara and draped her hair. Xia Jingyan thought about it: Is this an attempt to get into trouble?
"Hehe..." The Crown Princess smiled sheepishly at Xia Jingyan, "I heard from the Crown Prince's brother that Mrs. Zhou is also tired of these heavy ornaments, and I also find them too heavy. Since Mrs. Zhou thinks the same as me, I think she must
You won’t blame me for being immoral, it’s so heavy that my neck is bent..."
Xia Jingyan couldn't help but burst out laughing. It was true that the whole family did not come into the same house. The prince and the princess were as lovable as each other.
"My name is Dugu Shuyi. Mrs. Zhou can just call me Shuning. We won't have to talk about so many etiquettes, okay?"
"Okay...my name is Xia Jingyan."
Xia Jingyan smiled awkwardly, but Dugu Shuning didn't care. He pulled Xia Jingyan to sit at the table and fed Xia Jingyan this and that.
On the other side, the study room.
"Your Majesty, these are all the official maps and city defense maps of Xijiang." The prince handed a stack of books to Zhou Ranzhuo and pulled him to sit at the table.
"Gu Zheng, you'd better take off this mask, it looks awkward to me..." Zhou Ran squinted his eyes, "Prince Chu's skin is much prettier than yours."
"Oh, that's nonsense~ I am the second most beautiful man in Nanjiang after you! Who is Prince Chu?" "Prince Chu" hugged Zhou Ranzhuo's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, you're good-looking. I can't be as good as you..." Zhou Ranzhuo attracted Gu Zheng's attention. Taking advantage of this moment, Zhou Ranzhuo pulled off his mask and said, "Hey, this is much more pleasing to the eye."
Gu Zheng felt a chill on his face and hurriedly grabbed the mask in Ran Zhuo's hand, "Your Majesty, this is in Xijiang, how many people are watching you!" Gu Zheng said in a suppressed voice, and quickly took the mask back.
"Aren't you bored with this thing?"
"You have to take care of me, Your Majesty. I know that you miss my beauty very much, but you also have to think about my life and safety." Gu Zheng leaned on Zhou Ranzhuo's shoulder, "But I understand you.
After all, I am only twenty-eight years old, young and beautiful, you think this is normal for me...ah!"
Gu Zheng screamed in surprise because Zhou Ranzhuo couldn't bear it anymore and twisted his arm.
"You're still young and beautiful! Why don't you go to heaven!" Zhou Ranzhuo laughed angrily.
"Your Majesty, why don't you feel sorry for me at all? I have hard work even if I have no merit..." Gu Zheng muttered and put his finger on Zhou Ranzhuo again.
"Hey, I heard from Yan'er that Crown Prince Chu is a calm man. Are you pretending to be the same? You're not arousing suspicion, are you?"
"Don't worry, I am usually calm, but I only become so when I want to see you." Gu Zheng said.
"I just said that you look like Gu Yun in disguise, but it makes me sweat. I'm used to you being like this, and I forgot to remind you, but you two are really similar."
"How are you two brothers? Your Majesty, how is my brother... doing?" Gu Zheng's voice suddenly became a little low.
Leaving a half-year-old child alone in Xijiang with no confidants around him would have happened to anyone else. Zhou Ranzhuo understood him and gradually softened his tone.
"Don't worry, Gu Yun is fine. You eat so much every day, but you are as skinny as a stick."
Gu Zheng smiled helplessly, "Your Majesty, I really want to eat it. That laurel cake is placed on the table every day, but I can't take a few bites. This prince is born with anorexia. If I eat too much, others will definitely eat it."
Suspicious."
Can't even eat food.
Zhou Ranzhuo couldn't help feeling a little distressed, and patted Gu Zheng's head, "When I get back to Nanjiang, I will take you to eat and drink spicy food every day!"
