The Male Wife

Chapter 254 2 Princes Escape

The eldest prince looked at the second prince with a vague expression. This was the first time that the eldest prince stared at the second prince with such eyes, "Second, what do you mean by this? Why, is it possible that you still want to stop me? Won't you let me go in and see Father?"

Just as the First Prince could not trust the Second Prince, the Second Prince naturally could not trust the First Prince. The two brothers had been together for more than ten years, and everyone knew each other very well.But this is precisely because they know each other's character very well, the two people are even more unwilling to let the other party enter the imperial study with them, they are both worried that the other party will use tricks.

Seeing this, the old eunuch who had been serving in the imperial study all these years became even more worried, "Eldest prince, second prince, your majesty has just left. Why did you two quarrel in the imperial study? If the old man finds out , this heart may feel uncomfortable. How about this, the first prince and the second prince go in together?"

The first prince and the second prince looked at each other and snorted coldly, knowing that it would be very meaningless for the two of them to continue arguing like this, so they each took a step back, and the two of them walked into the imperial study together with their own people.

The mother and concubine of the second prince cried for a long time, she saw that the first prince and the second prince had not returned from the imperial study, and she calculated in her heart that it would not take such a long time to get from the imperial study to the bedroom, and she was worried , then took an opportunity to leave.

Seeing the second prince's mother and concubine coming out, the maid hurriedly took a step forward, knelt on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, the second prince and the eldest prince are still looking for secret orders in the imperial study."

The second prince's mother and concubine are always worried that His Majesty will make the second prince the new emperor, but when she thinks about what His Majesty promised herself two days ago, the second prince's mother and concubine are still reassured. He didn't mean to make his son the new emperor, so he wouldn't say something that would be misleading. The second prince's mother and concubine began to calm down, "Go to the imperial study to see the situation. , remember to keep me informed.”

The maid agreed, turned around and hurried away.

The second prince's mother and concubine looked at the back of the maid leaving, her heart was beating a little fast, she couldn't help stretching out her hand, gently touching the position of her chest, and whispered in her heart: "It shouldn't really happen, it shouldn't." If something really happens, don’t scare yourself.”

But who knows if the mood of the second prince's concubine's mother is not stable now, is it because of a premonition, or because of... something else.

At the same time, after the eldest prince and the second prince, who were originally in a stable state, got the secret edict that their father had placed in the imperial study, they stood together by coincidence, each holding one side, and directly opened the secret edict.

When the first prince and the second prince saw the contents of the secret edict, their expressions changed drastically.

The Jiang residence in the imperial capital city.

Chu Xun came to the door with only two guards with knives at night. Chu Xun sat on a chair, looked at Jiang Linzhi, and then looked at Chu Bai who had been nestling in his arms and refused to leave, only caring about acting coquettishly. Jiao, she didn't care about Chu Baijiao in her heart, she just said: "Pavilion Master, thank you for taking care of my sister during this time. But now I have another unfeeling request, I hope the Pavilion Master can agree."

Jiang Linzhi didn't immediately agree to Chu Xun's words, but he didn't refuse directly either, but said, "Just say what you want."

Pei Cheng sat on the side, glanced at Chu Xun's direction, and counted the time in his mind. Chu Baijiao had lived at home for more than two months, and it turned out that these two months passed in the blink of an eye.

It may be because there is really no way out, or it may be that there is really no time for Chu Xun to pay attention to ostentation. Chu Xun did not ask Jiang Linzhi to call out the unimportant people in the house, but said directly: "George Lord, your news has always been very well-informed. You must have known what is going on in the palace for a long time. Now the entire palace is forbidden to enter and leave. People from the First Prince only came out to tell me about the situation in the palace at the very beginning. Now people inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in. I hope the pavilion master can help me and let me know the current situation in the palace."

Pei Cheng frowned, something happened to the palace now?

Jiang Linzhi felt that Chu Xun's request was really out of touch. He and the eldest prince did have cooperation, but this did not mean that there was still cooperation between him and Chu Xun, let alone that he would be able to help Chu Xun with anything. Xun, this Chu Xun really asked for help and didn't know...it's ridiculous.

Because Chu Xun was too worried about the current situation of the palace, and indeed because he was too worried about the eldest prince, he blurted out such commanding words. Seeing Jiang Linzhi's cold face, Chu Xun gave a dry cough and said in relief. : "Pavilion Master, I was too hasty in this matter, and I hope that the Pavilion Master will not care too much about me. Since you decided to follow the boat of the eldest prince, we are like grasshoppers tied to the same boat, Pavilion Master Lord, I really beg you to help me to find out what happened in the palace right now."

Jiang Linzhi lowered his eyes and said lightly: "I promised to cooperate with the eldest prince, but this is just pure cooperation. Now your request, Lord Hou, is for me, a businessman, to use my insignificant power to investigate what happened in the palace compound. Isn’t this something difficult for others to do? No matter how powerful the Wuwu Pavilion is, it’s just a place to rely on the government. I’m sorry, but I can’t do what you asked for.”

Chu Xun's lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything more, "So, I was too abrupt, Pavilion Master, it's me who raised too much at this time, and Pavilion Master, please don't take it to heart."

As he said that, Chu Xun stood up. He didn't know what happened in the palace compound now, and he really didn't have the heart to stay in Wuwu Pavilion to chat with others. He had to immediately know what the eldest prince's situation was like.The news that the eldest prince is now in the palace compound has not been spread, Chu Xun is really very worried.

Chu Xun said: "So, I will take Bai Jiao back first. When I have time, I will come to visit and thank the Pavilion Master and Madam."

As he said that, Chu Xun took a deep look at Pei Cheng who hadn't spoken from the beginning to the end. He thought that Pei Cheng would help him persuade Jiang Linzhi, but he didn't expect Pei Cheng to be indifferent.

In fact, Pei Cheng couldn't be blamed for this incident.

No matter how important it is to repay kindness, can it still be important to live your own life, Jiang Linzhi's life?

Even Pei Cheng, who has never been involved in these matters of right and wrong, knew that it was right for Jiang Linzhi to reject Chu Xun's request just now, and he was wise to protect himself.

Pei Cheng frankly met Chu Xun's gaze, and the two's gazes intersected slightly in mid-air. Chu Xun took the lead to look away, and then took his sister away directly.

Chu Baijiao was reluctant to leave, but she did not refuse her elder brother who had missed her for so long. Chu Baijiao followed Chu Xun's footsteps and left from time to time, turning around from time to time to look back at the expressionless Jiang Yanzhi. , I was extremely reluctant.

Although she is a little princess who has been favored and favored since she was a child, she rarely has her own friends in this imperial capital. Children who are as old as her are either more noble than her or inferior to her. Those who are more noble than Chu Baijiao look down on her and don't want to play with her. Even if they are willing to play with her, they are playing with her for charity; those with lower status than Chu Baijiao are either deliberately flattering her He deliberately wanted to please her, and wanted to get something from Chu Baijiao.

So Chu Baijiao hasn't had any good friends these years, except for Jiang Yanzhi, of course.

So now that she was leaving, Chu Baijiao was of course extremely reluctant to part with Jiang Yanzhi, but it was a pity that Jiang Yanzhi's facial expression did not fluctuate when he saw that Chu Baijiao was about to be taken away by his elder brother.

Chu Baijiao followed Chu Xun's footsteps and left with a sad face.

After Chu Xun's brother and sister left, Pei Cheng looked at Jiang Yanzhi tentatively, and found that there was an imperceptible reluctance hidden deep in the little guy's eyes, and Pei Cheng was relieved.Jiang Yanzhi usually plays well with Chu Baijiao. If the little friends are going home now, but Jiang Yanzhi doesn't respond at all, Pei Cheng really doesn't know how to describe Jiang Yanzhi's cold and heartless character. up.

Fortunately, Jiang Yanzhi just pretended not to care.

Jiang Linzhi suddenly said: "Housekeeper, you go back with Yanzhi first."

The housekeeper took Jiang Yanzhi out of the hall.

Jiang Linzhi got up, walked in front of Cheng Pei, looked down at Cheng Cheng condescendingly, but did not find any dissatisfaction from Cheng Cheng's expression, he bent down, touched Cheng Cheng's forehead, and said, "I thought you would Because I didn't want to be angry about helping Chu Xun just now."

Pei Cheng looked at Jiang Linzhi with a confused face, "Why should I be angry because you don't want to help Chu Xun. If you don't want to, it's normal, and I won't be angry."

Jiang Linzhi stared at Pei Cheng's eyes, and found that there was really no other emotion on Pei Cheng's face, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "The Wuji Pavilion will stay in the imperial capital in the future, if tonight If I really help Chu Xun go to the palace to find out the news, no matter who ascends the throne in the future, the new emperor will know that Wuwu Pavilion has really hidden secret guards into the palace compound, and Wuwu Pavilion will be rejected by the royal family."

Pei Cheng actually knew what Jiang Linzhi was worried about, "You mean, you really inserted people from Wuwu Pavilion into the palace compound? How did you do it?"

Jiang Linzhi looked at Pei Cheng's expression neither angry nor pretending, first secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and then said: "The Wuwu Pavilion needs to keep abreast of the latest news, the palace compound is indeed inserted people, but it’s not a good location, and I can’t find much information.”

The corner of Pei Cheng's mouth twitched, "But you still arranged people in."

Jiang Lin was startled, then smiled helplessly, and then followed Pei Cheng's words, "Well, I only tell you, don't tell others."

Of course Pei Cheng would not tell others easily, after all, this is a serious crime requiring beheading.
