Chapter 260: The Gift of Wine
There is only one Sui Lotus tree on Bailu Mountain. Because it is an ancient tree, when the courtyard was built, King Fu did not cut it off and deliberately kept it.
The higher the status, the more you cherish your life. Just like the Fu Palace, the Bailu Mountain Villa was built, there were three secret passages left.
However, there is only one small path to the foot of the mountain.
This road is near Sui Huai, but King Fu didn't know if that road would be guarded by the Yulin Army.
And, who gave him this key and this note?
The first thing King Fu thought of was the young man who was following the Empress Dowager.
Whose person is that young man?
It's definitely not from Prince Fu's Mansion.
Could it be the one from Chai Ji?
King Fu shook his head, it was even more impossible.
If it was a Chai Ji person, there was no need to save him now.
As he guessed, as long as the prince arrives in Xinjing, he will be able to leave Bailu Mountain, and there is no need to take the risk to rescue him.
King Fu really couldn't think of it. At this critical moment, who else would come to save him?
He looked at the lock on the iron bar, put the note in his mouth and ate it, and hid the key under the hay.
At the fourth update, water was indeed gone outside, but King Fu did not move. He was still sleeping soundly when the guard brought a few Yulin soldiers in to check.
When Yu Linjun saw that there was nothing wrong with him, he turned around and went out with the guards.
The guards who were guarding him worked in two shifts, and the next morning, the other two were changed, one of them was Ji, and they both called him Lao Ji.
Lao Ji was a native of Pingcheng. He was in his thirties and was poor when he was young. He entered the palace and became an eunuch.
Another guard who was with Lao Ji was his apprentice Ma Zhihua.
Ma Zhihua is seventeen or eighteen years old and is one of the few strong figures among eunuchs.
Lao Ji likes to talk and is a little nagging. When Fu Wang first came in, he said a few words to Pingcheng. Lao Ji was very happy. He moved a chair and sat outside the iron bars to chat with Fu Wang.
From Lao Ji's words, King Fu learned that Lao Ji entered the palace at the age of fourteen. Because he was old at that time, he suffered a lot when he was purging himself, and almost died. Fortunately, he was lucky that he survived.
King Fu asked him: "Do you have any relatives in Pingcheng?"
Lao Ji shook his head: "I am an orphan, both my parents died, and there are no brothers and sisters. When I was nine years old, I was caught and almost beaten to death. Thanks to my brother who saved me, I was only in my teens at that time, but I was already the boss. In those years, I followed my brothers, and had food and clothing, but unfortunately the good times didn't last long. My brothers broke into a lawsuit, and we little brothers became homeless again. Later, I followed my brothers to the capital, thinking that there might be a chance to make money in the capital, but I didn't make money, but I sold myself. Hehe, if I didn't sell myself, I would never see a great noble like Prince Fu in my life."
King Fu smiled and said, "Lao Ji, you are optimistic. Have you ever thought about what you should do when you leave the palace in the future?"
Lao Ji sighed: "I have been in the palace for more than twenty years. I have no skills, no connections, and no money. What can I do? I will not hide it from the prince. Don't even see me in the palace for many years, but I have never seen the emperor a few times."
"I haven't seen the emperor before I moved the capital, I have never seen the emperor." said King Fu.
Lao Ji thought about it, even though Prince Fu was the younger brother of Emperor Gaozong, he seemed to have been exiled. He has never returned to the old capital since he left Beijing. Not to mention the little emperor Chai Ran who had just ascended the throne, even the Baokang Emperor Chai Huan must have never seen him.
King Fu laughed at himself, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, who is the young master who often follows the Empress Dowager? It must be a royal family, which family is the child? I am old and have a bad memory. If the juniors had not seen each other ten or eight times, they would not be able to remember the name of others, haha."
Lao Ji hurriedly said, "This is really not your bad memory, your master is Mr. Yan, he is not a royal family."
"Young Master Yan? Which Young Master Yan from?" asked King Fu.
"I really don't know which family he belongs to. However, I know that Mr. Yan, one by one, broke into Bailu Mountain and asked to see Mr. Wei. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager wouldn't know that something happened to the emperor until now." Lao Ji was obviously very impressed by Mr. Yan. When talking about the incident that day, he flew out and explained in detail how Mr. Yan broke into the mountain and how Wei Ming went back.
King Fu nodded slightly. He is such a person who is eager for success and profit, but he is somewhat brave.
"By the way, I heard from the people around Eunuch Wei that Mr. Yan is from Xu Huaiyi and Xu Fujian. Hey, Eunuch Wei has been arrested. Where is Xu Fujian? Where is he now?" Lao Ji asked.
King Fu narrowed his eyes. Is Mr. Yan Xu Huaiyi's man?
Yes, if it were not for Xu Huaiyi's instructions at that time, even if this young master Yan had three heads and six arms, he would probably not have been able to leave Xinjing.
It was Xu Huaiyi who sent him to inform Wei Ming, and then Wei Ming went back to create a fake emperor. Then, seeing the story of the matter was revealed, Xu Huaiyi ran away?
No, that won't be the case.
Xu Huaiyi deliberately asked Mr. Yan to report to the news, and brought Wei Ming into the game, and then successfully retired.
If this is the case... a bad idea suddenly arose in King Fu's mind.
The reason why he went to the palace was because he was sure that the little emperor was dead.
Why do you think the little emperor is dead?
It was because of a maid's confession.
The maid came out of the palace. She said a lot of things, and all these things pointed to one point, that is, the little emperor was dead!
By the way, why did he ask someone to interrogate the group of servants who came out of the palace? It was because the imperial physician died and the dead were carried out from the palace.
Thinking of this, King Fu was shocked and sweated coldly.
If the maid's confession was fake, but she really went to the palace...
No, right? Now he is trapped in Bailu Mountain. In eight out of ten, Chai Yan's little bastard has spread the news of his breaking into the palace. Yes, Chai Yan said that he would praise him for his merits.
This is a bureau.
Xu Huaiyi asked Mr. Yan to send a letter to Wei Ming in a bureau. In this bureau, Wei Ming was the one who entered the bureau.
He decided to go to the palace and there was another game, and he was another person who entered the game.
The King of Fu suddenly felt that there were several hands behind him, pushing the Empress Dowager, together with him, the King of Fu, into the abyss that would never be restored.
Seeing that King Fu's face became more and more gloomy, Lao Ji sighed: "Young Master Yan is a scholar. I heard that it is still Tong Sheng. He was also unlucky. He originally thought it was a great achievement, but in the end, he was trapped here, with no contribution and no future. Oh, don't think it's a good thing to follow the Empress Dowager. That was the past, but now it's not possible. No, that is, the rootless people like me have nowhere to go, so they can only stay here and wait for death."
The King of Fu's heart moved. The Young Master Yan was not a rootless person. He had some places to go, so he didn't want to stay here and wait for death.
He wanted to hold his thigh.
A smile appeared in King Fu's eyes: "Laoji, thank you. If you leave the palace in the future, you will go back to Pingcheng. Maybe I will still be alive at that time."
Lao Ji was about to thank him, but Ma Zhihua walked over quickly: "Master, please avoid it quickly, the people from the Yulin Army are here."
Lao Ji was startled and muttered, "What are they doing here in broad daylight?"
While saying that, he moved the chair he had just sat away.
As soon as he put the chair down, two Yulin soldiers strode in.
The one walking in front was holding a tray in his hand, a wine pot and a wine glass on the tray.
King Fu's heart was terrified. Doesn't that witch Du's witch want to use herself to replace Wei Ming?
