The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 34

[Chapter 34 The dimly lit place]

Deep in the palace, in the quiet and scary Nuan Pavilion.

Emperor Chu put down a memorial that came from Yunzhou in the southwest, and a trace of fatigue appeared on his old face.

Beside him stood a wrinkled eunuch with a white face and no beard, wearing an ordinary blue-gray robe.

When the eunuch saw Emperor Chu put down the memorial, he walked forward slowly, stood still and bowed, and whispered: “Your Majesty, it’s time for you to rest.” Emperor Chu sighed and asked: “

Yan’er

, have you found her?”

The eunuch whispered: “Her Royal Highness the Princess is now in Anpingbo’s Mansion.”

“Anpingbo’s Mansion”

Emperor Chu seemed to have thought of something, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and said: “There is such a coincidence…

That son of Anpingbo, although not I’m a bit unlearned, but I’m still loyal. With Yan’er staying with him, I’m not so worried.” When

the eunuch heard this, he hesitated for a moment and said, “Your Majesty, there is something that I don’t know what to do about. It’s not appropriate to talk about it.”

Emperor Chu glanced at him and said, “Say it.”

The eunuch said, “I heard that the princess was kidnapped back to the house by Uncle Anping.” When

Emperor Chu heard this, he looked furious. He slapped the table and said sternly: “The son of An Pingbo, who was raped from a good family in the street, is so brave!”

Seeing Long Yan’s anger, the eunuch hurriedly lowered his head and said, “Your Majesty, please calm down.

According to Jinwu Guard’s investigation, Princess Although His Highness was taken back to the house, he was not harmed.

Instead, Uncle Anping treated him with courtesy, so the Princess stayed there.

The anger on Emperor Chu’s face calmed down a little, and he said, “I am.” I heard that this man is an honest man, how could he do such a thing as ignoring the law of the country by raping a common woman?”

The eunuch looked troubled and whispered: “It is said that it is because of losing his mind.”

“Suffering from losing his mind .

?”

Emperor Chu frowned and said, “Why did a good man suddenly become insane?”

He looked at the eunuch and saw that he was hesitant to speak, and said, “Tell the truth, I don’t blame you.”

The eunuch leaned over and said, He said: “It is rumored that Uncle Anping was too excited because he heard that His Majesty intended to show favor to him, so he suffered from madness.”

After saying this, the eunuch’s wrinkled face turned red from suppressing it, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It was stuck in my throat and I almost lost my breath.

This matter really embarrassed him.

If you report it truthfully.

Aren’t you telling your majesty that in Uncle Anping’s heart, the majestic princess is no better than a brothel girl?

But if the report is not true and His Majesty heard the news from Jin Wuwei, he would have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor again.

That’s why I evaded the important and said this.

Too excited.

Emperor Chu pondered for a moment, then his face darkened, and he said, “I wanted Uncle An Ping to fight abroad and make great contributions to the court.”

When he said this, he seemed to have thought of something and sighed.

“Well, since neither of them has any intention of doing this, and I don’t want to force others to do anything, let’s just drop this matter.”

Marrying a princess is a matter of honor and respect for one’s ancestors.

Countless wealthy families want to establish relations with the royal family, but they have no way to do so.

Even though the British duke’s eldest son had made great military achievements in the northwest, he never thought of choosing him as his consort.

If An Pingbo hadn’t stayed away from his homeland and led troops to conquer the southwest for seven years, he would have put down the Tusi Rebellion that had been a headache for the court for nearly a hundred years.

How could he be merciful and choose a mediocre and mediocre playboy to be Yan’er’s consort?

However, this kind of gift made the dandy avoid him, and he even played the trick of “losing his mind and going crazy”.

In fact,

Emperor Chu’s face was gloomy, he stood up and took two steps in Nuan Pavilion.

On the side, the eunuch lowered his head and whispered: “Your Majesty, you don’t know. Uncle Anping has indeed done many ridiculous things recently.”

“What ridiculous things, tell me,”

the emperor said coldly.

The eunuch said: “A few days ago, Uncle Anping returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors. Instead of accompanying him, Uncle Anping took advantage of Uncle Anping’s absence to sell out all the Fang family’s ancestral property.

Not only that, he also bought all the money he got. A haunted house, a restaurant that was only worth five hundred taels, but it cost five thousand taels.” Her Royal Highness

the Princess may be unwilling to marry, but Uncle Anping cannot be unwilling to marry

a marriage that is different from ordinary people. The princess’s marriage is about the royal face. big event.

As the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, Liu Cheng knew this better than anyone else.

Therefore, he tried his best to describe Uncle Anping as a mentally retarded person suffering from “lost heart madness”.

Since he has a brain disease, it is common sense that he is unwilling to marry the noble princess.

Sure enough, after hearing what Liu Cheng said, Emperor Chu’s face improved a little.

He thought for a while and then said: “An Pingbo is loyal and has made great contributions to the court. His son is suffering from brain disease. I should not just sit back and watch.

According to my oral instructions, I ordered the imperial physician to diagnose and treat Uncle Anping, and “

He originally wanted the imperial physician to cure the dandy and then punish him severely.

But then he thought about it, as the emperor, and a man suffering from ‘heart-breaking madness’ The child was too stingy to care about it,

so he sighed: “Forget it, it’s the father’s fault that the son didn’t teach him. Uncle Anping returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors and neglected to discipline him, so he turned into a naughty person. He also

corrected it according to common sense.

Now, let me participate in the review. “

The capital is the most prosperous city in Chu State. It is the Lantern Festival, and the surroundings are brighter.

The main street in the south of the city is extremely congested. Even if it is several feet wide, it is difficult for cars and horses to move. There is

an endless stream of pedestrians .

, there are people walking around, vendors with hand-carrying bags coming and going, and various hawking sounds are heard.

It seems that everything is bustling on this night, but there is a place on Gujing Street next to the main street where the lights are

dim

.

Two shrill wildcat calls came, and there was silence.

A thin young man stood in the darkness, shivering in the cold wind.

If there was a light nearby, he could see the man’s face clearly.

He

looked extremely anxious and uneasy.

Despite the biting cold wind, he still stood there, as if waiting for someone.

After a while, a figure covered in black robes came over.

With a hint of joy on his face,

the man in black robe stood in front of the man, took out a heavy silver ingot from his sleeve, handed it to the young man, and whispered: “This is the one hundred taels of silver agreed upon in advance. After leaving the capital, you can never come back, do you understand? “

The young man took the silver ingot, felt its weight, and showed an extremely excited expression on his face. He kept nodding: “I understand, I understand.”

“Go ahead. “

The man in black robe looked around and then disappeared into the darkness.

The young man was left standing alone, his eyes filled with tears unknowingly.

Not far away, Kyoto Prefecture arrested the head, Xia Yixue looked at this scene, Lost in thought
