In the early morning, Princess Yingyue stretched out and gently pushed open the door, preparing to go out for a walk.
He looked up and glanced at the Zherong Guard. He was wearing a blue shirt, expressionless face, and stood at the door of the room like a statue.
Her handsome face couldn't curl up Princess Yingyue's interest. She glared at Zherong in disgust, "You annoying guy, why are you staying at the door early in the morning? What a devastating star!"
Zherong glanced at Yingyue coldly and replied coldly: "After the order of the prince, come and protect Princess Qingyan."
"Guardian? Hum!" Yingyue frowned, "In broad daylight, the bright world is bright, where is there any protection needed in the forbidden area of the palace? I think it is clearly surveillance! Oh, get out of here, you mud legs
.”
Zherong endured a puff in his heart and subconsciously took a step back.
"Hmph!" Yingyue walked by him proudly, and did not forget to reach out and pinch his shoulder hard!
Zherong looked full of indignation, but he was helpless, so he had to endure the irritability in his heart and ignore Yingyue.
At this moment, a guard with a knife rushed over, "Master Zhe, something is wrong!"
Frowning, a look of surprise flashed across his face of honor and disgrace, "If you have something to say, don't yell."
"The prince has left the palace. He will not let the young people follow him. He will say that if anyone dares to follow him, he will be executed immediately!"
"What?" Zherong said angrily: "Then have you followed you?"
"Young people dare not!"
"Useless thing!" Zherong glared at the visitor fiercely. A trace of ominous premonition suddenly surged into his heart.
It's Huangfu Shi again!
Zherong was so angry that his teeth were itchy! Huangfu suddenly appeared in the palace last night, but today, Xi Ming left without saying goodbye.
This is already very telling!
Huangfu Shi knew very well that at the critical moment when the imperial power was about to be transferred, there was no way to make any mistakes, but Prince Xi Ming insisted on leaving the palace alone, which was indeed an inappropriate thing.
Zherong's face became increasingly ugly, "Where did he go?" asked, and walked towards the prince's mansion.
"If you go back to General Zhe, His Highness the Crown Prince will go to the east gate of the palace."
"Yeah! Let's go!" Zherong quickly used his light skills to head towards the east gate of the palace.
The prime minister of the dynasty, Huangfu Guanlin, lived in East Street. Could it be that Prince Xi Ming went to the Huangfu family?
This is a bit bad. If the emperor knew that the prince went to Huangfu family to find Huangfu Shi, he would be furious?
With a quick horse and whip it, Zherong headed straight to Huangfu Mansion.
He hurriedly opened the gate courtyard of the Huangfu family. A young man who was practicing cultivation opened a crack in the door and poked his head out, "Who are you? Why did you hit the door in the early morning?"
Zherong called out a slap to the little boy, "The imperial guard Zherong came to visit Prime Minister Huangfu Guanlin."
The little boy nodded, "My master went to court early in the morning." After that, he was about to close the door.
Zherong stepped forward and stuck a crack in the door. "So, can you ask the boy, can you have a distinguished guest come to the mansion?"
The little boy blinked a few times, "How did sir know?"
Zherong smiled slightly, and everything seemed to be clear. "I am here to find you, the distinguished guest, please inform me."
"Ah?" the little boy scratched his scalp, "Oh, you wait."
After a moment, the boy came out to report, "Sir, please invite me!"
Zherong took a deep breath, then he mustered up the courage, crossed the threshold, and walked towards the inner hall.
The prince has an order that no one can follow him. Anyone who violates his order will be killed. Zherong is disobeying his will. Of course, killing him will not be enough, but he is ready to be scolded by Xi Ming.
As soon as he stepped into the inner hall, Huangfu Shi smiled bitterly and came out, "Senior Brother Zhe, are you really indifferent? I went home last night, and you will know today?"
Zherong's face was gloomy and he gave Huangfu Shi a blank look, "Where is Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Huangfu Shi looked surprised, "You are looking for Your Highness the Crown Prince, why did you find me here? I have never seen him since I parted last night! Shouldn't he be in Shufangzhai now?
?Didn’t he say he wanted Princess Qingyan to sleep with her?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zherong's voice was low, like an angry lion, "You little boys told me that there are distinguished guests in the mansion, don't stop me, I want to see the prince now."
Huangfu Shi shook his head incredibly, "Senior Brother Zhe, do you think I am still the same me from ten years ago? I am avoiding Prince Xi Ming now, so how could I hide his whereabouts? Haha, this little boy
The distinguished guest refers to me. I left home at a young age and returned for ten years. None of the servants in the house were my former knowledge. Therefore, it is not impossible to say that I am a guest of this family now.
.”
The Zherong guards looked depressed, "Captain Xi Ming has never been here?"
"Haha," Huangfu Shi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I have no reason to deceive you! I only hate him now! I don't want to see him again."
At this moment, a palace guard came over and said softly in Zherong's ear, "Master General Zhe, the city gate official just came to report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rode his horse and left the East City Gate alone."
"Going out of the city?" Zherong's face turned pale, "Dongcheng Gate? After leaving the east gate, it is the territory of Jiuhui Corridor. Is he going to climb the mountain in Jiuhui Corridor?"
Zherong, who had been with Xi Ming for many years, naturally knew what the Nine Corridor meant to the prince.
He thought to himself: Every year when peach blossoms bloom and willow catkins are flying, the prince always goes out to the Nine Corridor for the tenderness in his heart. But this time, he left too strangely! Why did he send the guards?
What about acting alone?
Huangfu Shi innocently spread his hands, "Look, I didn't lie to you!"
Zherong's eyes were so gloomy that it could not hide the anxiety in his heart, "Let's go to the Nine Corridor!"
Huangfu Shi grabbed Zherong's shoulder, "Oh, I said, Senior Brother, why are you so anxious? Will the Crown Prince be lost if he is so big? Besides, he is very skilled in martial arts and is in the city country, I think he can only be
Only then can you hurt him? Why are you so anxious?"
"I have a intuition," Zherong had a gloomy face, "an ominous intuition. Brother Huangfu, I'm going to find him now. If you want, please follow me!"
Zherong's serious expression obviously infected Huangfu Shi. He then curled his smile and put one hand on his face, "Please!"
Zherong stopped talking, stepped out of the hall, turned over the horse's back, then whipped it and ran away.
