Chapter 38
After the prince came back, his face was full of exhaustion. If you don't ask, you can tell that the emperor must have targeted him again. Maybe it's just to show off. In order to see me, Xiliu asked me for an official position. '
Liu Wei helped him take off his court clothes, squeezed his temples, and suddenly said viciously: "My lord has worked so hard, Xiliu has nothing to relieve your worries, so I asked the imperial doctor to prepare a prescription for you to mend your body." Then he will prepare early The good Chinese medicine was brought to him, and he sat on the chair obediently, smiling strangely at the prince.
The prince didn't think much about it, and took a sip directly, and Liu Wei couldn't help laughing just after taking a sip.
The prince raised an eyebrow and looked at him incomprehensible, but he obediently finished drinking all the wine and asked, "Why is Xiao Wei so happy?"
Liu Wei suppressed a smile, with his hands behind his back, walked to the door in a dignified manner following the steps of the prince, imitating the meaningful manner of the prince, and said: "When Xiliu wakes up, replenish her vitality, this prescription will immediately It can replenish strength and time." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at the frowning of Prince Man, and couldn't help laughing, "Man Sheng'an! I'm doing well! I don't need this kind of thing to replenish the kidney! Do you think I can’t satisfy you, can I?”
Prince Man suddenly raised his eyebrows, so what he drank just now...was the prescription he asked the imperial physician to prescribe to Liu Wei...
Prince Man sighed and explained: "It's not to make up for... this ambiguous matter. I saw you returning from the palace to the queen, and you always looked embarrassed. You also told me about your mother yesterday. Wang just feels that you have a sense of pressure in your heart and need to be recuperated. As for replenishing your strength, I saw your hands trembling when you cooked the pot yesterday, but the reality...is not the meaning of time, but the essence."
All of a sudden, after the prince spoke, Liu Wei blushed, and without knowing what was going on, he gave the prince this 'Shiquan Da Tonic'. Thinking about scolding Lizi tomorrow, Liu Wei pouted.
Looking at the displeased face of the prince, he must please the people who care about him everywhere, so Liu Wei blinked and pretended to be an innocent kitten, and moved his steps slowly with extreme aggrievedness. Seeing him admitting his mistake, he waved his hands, pulled him into his arms, kissed his bun and said: "My lord, how could I do anything wrong to you."
Liu Wei didn't speak but nodded obediently, and looked at the bowl that was left with nothing but scum from that night.
The prince tightened his hand and said: "By the way, the official uniform... will be issued today, and tomorrow, you will go to court with me. Now that this is the case, I will teach you some... the rules of the courtiers." yes."
Liu Wei broke free from his embrace, stood up, straightened his clothes, bowed and said, "Prince Man, please teach me a lot."
The second time it was dawn, Liu Wei was very reluctantly dragged up by Li Zi, yawning again and again, let Li Zi arrange himself listlessly, until he stood at the door, rubbing his eyes sleepily, watching Prince Man get on his horse and look back he.
"Riding?" Liu Wei frowned and asked with drooping eyes, and stretched out his hand by the way, asking Man Wangye to pull him up.
Prince Man looked at the horse behind with a smile and said: "Your horse is behind, you can ride with me if you want."
Liu Wei pursed his lips and turned his head to look at the pure white horse behind him. He suddenly regained his energy, clapped his hands happily, walked over and said, "I've never ridden a horse before!" After the horse, Liu Wei yawned again, but he didn't expect that as soon as the white horse lifted his legs and drove away, he would be so painful that his brain would completely wake up.
Only Liu Wei knew the pain and suffering along the way. He moved forward in a half-squatting position, and he still hit his back when the bumps were severe. Finally, he arrived at the gate of the palace. Liu Wei ended with two lines of tears. It was a dreadful and painful journey.
When Prince Man carried him off the horse, Liu Wei collapsed into his arms as if he had collapsed, crying, "I... my egg..."
Prince Man didn't hear his ambiguous voice clearly, but just supported him to walk in slowly.
Anyway, no matter how much pain he has on his body, time will always make him forget it, especially when he saw the towering tower in the north, the pain in his heart surged out like a sea of rivers, he pushed Prince Man to let himself He stood up straight, pulled his court clothes and said, "Let's go, let's face the emperor together."
Prince Man smiled and followed him into the hall of Qianqing Palace. Civil and military personnel of the Man Dynasty entered one after another. Liu Wei followed the instructions of Prince Man and stood beside him. The courtiers below saw the extra people around Prince Man and began to They started discussing everything.
"This...is the Prince Petting?"
"Isn't it... the emperor's friend?"
"What! Isn't it Prince Man's wife?"
"It's Xuan... the only son of the family." "The quilt! Cracked?"
These trivial words came to Liu Wei's ears, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes and stare at these good-natured people.
Prince Man cleared his throat and stretched out his hand to tightly hold his clenched hand, and said softly, "It's okay."
Liu Wei nodded, and continued to look at the group of people without smiling. He wanted to see if there was any 'fake' Master Huang he had seen that day.
"The emperor is here." Following the announcement of the father-in-law, a group of people knelt down one after another, and Liu Wei just followed the movements of the prince Man and knelt down.
After the emperor sat down, he saw Xiliu's drooping face, and his heart jumped for joy, because Xiliu, whom he had always wanted to see, could not only see him often, but also be so upright from now on.
"Everyone is flattened." The emperor couldn't wait to see Xiliu, so he flattened everyone.
It's a pity that after Xiliu stood up, she just bowed her head in silence and didn't raise her head to look at him.
The emperor smacked his lips and went about his routine. After listening to some regional reports, work summaries, opinions and suggestions, the emperor finally couldn't help but said: "Today is the first time that Prince Petting has come to the palace. Although he is a prince, there is no one yet. Responsibility, what good ideas do you have?"
Liu Wei finally raised his head and looked at the emperor. Looking at the triumphant face of the emperor, he smiled, but he was scolding his father and mother in his heart: "I'm sick, I just want to investigate the astrologer, and I also want to give my father a gift." Looking for something to do? '
An old minister bowed and said: "There is a lack of a person who takes care of the affairs in the Nangong Palace."
"Presumptuous! Do you want Zhen's Xiliu to do this kind of thing day and night?" The emperor became angry when he heard Nangong, and the old minister quickly shut up. The people behind dared to say anything. The emperor was clearly waiting for someone to say: 'Prince Pet doesn't need to do anything, just stay by your side. '
"Your Majesty, I see that Prince Chong has been in and out of the imperial dining room many times, maybe...the imperial dining room is more suitable for Prince Chong." An old man with a gray beard bowed to the back and said.
After that, he was scolded by the emperor and questioned whether he followed Xiliu without authorization.
Liu Wei couldn't help laughing, looking at the angry emperor and then at the people kneeling on the ground, he suddenly felt that he was a troubled woman, oh no, a troubled lake with a blue face.
But if you have to find something for yourself to do, then the investigation will be delayed. If you have this group of people who are not big enough to arrange a name for yourself, you might as well give yourself a good job.
Seeing that everyone was afraid to speak, Liu Wei thought for a while and then bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I... no, Xiliu has no ability, it all depends on the emperor's love, so far, Xiliu has won a diplomat. The official position of consul, I don't know if it is possible."
"Diplomatic and consul?" The emperor frowned, and all the ministers whispered to each other.
Xiliu turned back and gave Prince Man a bright smile, because he was probably the only one who could accept some of these novel ideas: "Our country has had continuous foreign trade since ancient times, and most of them were traded by road merchants and sea merchants. One-to-one transactions; diplomats and consulates, hence the name, are diplomats, that is, representatives of one party to the other party, that is, countries to countries, but I can also be an image ambassador because I am good-looking."
Speaking of being good-looking, the emperor was the first to laugh: "Yes, it is very good-looking. Okay! As you said, Prince Chong will serve as... a diplomatic consul from today."
It is estimated that everyone is confused now, so whoever he is, as long as he can enter and leave the palace at will and have nothing to do.
"No matter what you do, you will never change the title of Prince Doting." The emperor's doting smile made Prince Man frowned.
The emperor's shining dog food was finally finished, and after all the ministers left in disgrace, Liu Wei took Prince Man and ran outside, but was stopped by his father-in-law, and the two reluctantly went to the imperial study.
As soon as the father-in-law of the imperial study room went out, the three people in the room stood at a wonderful distance of an isosceles triangle. Liu Wei looked at the prince and then at the emperor. The two conveyed a feeling of refusal to give in.
After a long time, the emperor said, "Xiliu is willing to see me every day, brother, don't you understand?"
Prince Man laughed coldly and said: "Understood, the love between Xiliu and the emperor, this king has long known, and..." At this point, Prince Man suddenly smiled nicely, "Besides, it's not Xiliu who the emperor likes first. pomegranate?"
Liu Wei didn't know what he was expressing. He always felt that what he said meant that he didn't want to get along with Xiliu, and you always wanted to take it.
The emperor also didn't understand what his elder brother said, so he asked full of doubts: "Emperor brother...you today..."
Prince Man lowered his head and smiled and said, "This king...has a lover who needs no doubts but can be absolutely trusted, but I only found out a few days ago that that person is not Xiliu." Speaking of which, he looked sideways at Liu Wei, Liu Wei Wei suddenly took a deep breath and thought: "He won't say it!" '
The emperor looked at him with his eyes, and Liu Wei hurriedly opened his mouth to smooth things over: "Man Sheng'an! Who are you talking about! Don't you like me!" There was an echo when the beam went down, and he walked up to Lord Man and pinched his hand, and gave him a wink so that he would not tell the truth.
The emperor doesn't understand, he already has someone he likes, so why look at Xiliu?
This wonderful atmosphere has been reverberating among the three of them, and Prince Man finally saw Liu Weishi's distorted face, took his hand and kissed him deeply, and said in his ear: "I know. gone."
"Wait." The emperor was finally confused, "Brother, you... said you don't like Xiliu, then this is..."
Prince Man let go of the angry Liu Wei, turned his head and said, "The person I like is Liu Wei." After bowing, he said, "There is still something to do in the house, so I will leave first." After speaking, he pulled Liu Wei and walked out.
Probably only Man Sheng'an would dare not to look down on the emperor, after all the emperor is his own younger brother.
The emperor didn't say anything. Normally, Prince Man was respectful to him, but today he turned his face because of Xiliu: "He said he didn't like it." The emperor returned to his chair and looked at the person who was going away, and asked curiously: "Liu Wei...who is it?"
Liu Wei, who was being dragged away by Prince Man, shook his hands and tried to make him stop, but Prince Man had no intention of stopping. Liu Wei still fell down after staggering, Prince Man hurriedly turned around and grabbed his hand Pick him up: "Does it hurt from the fall?"
"It hurts! It hurts to death! What are you doing!" Liu Wei thumped his back heavily, pouted, and looked at the tall tower behind through Prince Man.
Just as Prince Man wanted to explain that he was fascinated by something, he looked back at the tower and said, "The Astrology Tower."
"Huh?" Liu Wei recovered and looked at him.
"The astrologer's tower, I have never seen anyone enter or leave it." Prince Man frowned, "If, as you said, something really happened between the first emperor, the astrologer, and General Xuan, how did he convey the message. "
"I don't know." Liu Wei also frowned in puzzlement, but felt Prince Man's hand touched his buttocks, and grabbed his hand behind his back and asked, "Why?"
"Unconsciously..." Prince Man smiled cutely, bent down and kissed his stubborn mouth.
Later, Liu Wei squatted on the tower when he had nothing to do, like a prince in a cartoon, waiting for the princess on the tower to put down her long braid, but after waiting for several days, there was no braid, not even a speck of dust. No.
Liu Wei went back to Manwang Mansion in great disappointment, took a dip pen and drew on the paper the terrifyingly smiling face, looked at the face that seemed to be covered with 502 glue, Liu Wei sighed and slumped on the chair .
Prince Man returned to the room, walked to his side, bent down and kissed his face, then looked at the table, suddenly lost his soul, he pointed at the person in the painting with trembling fingers and asked, "Have you seen this person? "
"Have you seen it?" Liu Wei stared wide-eyed at Prince Man's slight nod.
After the two sat by the bed, Prince Man looked in the direction of the desk and dripped a glistening sweat. He said, "This prince has never mentioned this to anyone."
At that time, Man Sheng'an, who was still the prince, was reading a Buddhist scripture seriously, but for a person who was only a teenager, many mantras in the Buddhist scriptures were somewhat incomprehensible to their meaning.
But... everything has a purpose.Man Sheng'an took the book and went to ask his father, the late emperor, for advice.
He walked to the imperial study room. For the first time, there was no one in front of the room, and there was no father-in-law. He knocked on the door, and the door opened automatically as he knocked. Man Sheng'an didn't care so much and just held the book After announcing himself, he entered the room.
In the study, the father was sitting opposite each other with their desks behind their backs. Man Shengan made a bow and asked: "Father, my son is a little puzzled about the Buddhist scriptures."
"Speak." The emperor still turned his back to him, and Man Sheng'an also said: "If there are good men and good women, they should fall into hell. It is a subtle classic that will never be heard, what do you mean?"
No one answered him, Man Sheng'an felt curious, he slowly approached his father, but when he suddenly turned around, it was this simple and honest smiling face, the corners of his mouth seemed to be glued, under the candlelight It looks particularly spooky under the photo.
Man Shengan was taken aback. He sat down on the ground and discarded the book, and ran out of the imperial study room. During the process, he bumped into the father-in-law who was serving the emperor. Seeing that he was so panicked, the father-in-law asked: "What happened to the prince?"
But when Man Sheng'an raised his head to look at his father-in-law, his father-in-law also had that smiling, terrified face.
……
"This king will never forget that face." Prince Man closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"What happened later?" Liu Wei asked, tilting his head.
"Later, my father-in-law disappeared strangely. The first emperor said that last night he had a headache and went back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation early. He didn't know everything I said, and even the Buddhist scriptures disappeared." Prince Man sighed, "Where are you?" Met him?"
Liu Wei nodded and explained everything that happened before. Prince Man frowned and said in a trembling voice: "The father-in-law in charge of the imperial dining room... when he returned to his hometown not long ago... fell off the cliff died."
"Ah?" Liu Wei stood up, his body trembling unavoidably, he touched his arms, looked at the table, who was going to tell him all this, and who killed all these people, " The astrologer... what exactly is he going to tell me..."
