Royal maid

036 The origin of the jade rabbit

On the way to the palace, Zuo Liang was so angry that he did not say a word to He Xuan.

He Xuan wanted to talk to him several times. She went to the palace yesterday and knew how terrible the atmosphere inside was. Zuo Liang should also remind himself of something to avoid. But he didn't say anything, and he was still a stuffy gourd.

Sneaking at Zuo Liang's appearance, He Xuan thought about it and closed her mouth tightly.

As a result, on this road, He Xuan didn't know why Zuo Liang was angry and what he was angry about. Zuo Liang has been struggling, guessing what Liao Yong did to He Xuan last night.

When he arrived at the door of the palace, Zuo Liang finally said to He Xuan, "When you get to the palace later, be careful. If anything happens, I will naturally help you block it. Even if you are questioned alone, just put the blame on me. If you don't know what happens, they will shake their heads, and they can't do anything about you.

"Oh. Got it."

Listening to his words, He Xuan laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Zuo Liang asked.

"Nothing. I remember that Brother Infan told me that the way you care about people has always been very special... Now it's also a gift."

"Caring?" Zuo Liang frowned and said, thinking to himself: Do you care about yourself? That's right. But is your concern so funny? Moreover, what did he just call, Brother Lifan? When did he start to call the words of Lifan? Thinking of this, Zuo Liang's smile just appeared and disappeared again.

"Didn't you care about what you said just now? Am I self-introd?" He Xuan asked tentatively, where is this person's weakness? He is always so protective of his body. When can he be closer to you? He Xuan thought anxiously.

"What you want, let's go."

With that, Zuo Liang seemed to walk ahead with some dissatisfaction. He Xuan didn't dare to say anything more, just followed him.

Of course, He Xuan must not have thought that now, the weakness of our Zuo Liangzuo Deputy General is her, He Xuan.

At ordinary times, if someone enters the palace with Zuo Liang, almost no one will ask, but since yesterday, the atmosphere in the palace has become a little abnormal, so the palace gates everywhere have also stepped up their precautions.

Zuo Liang showed his waist card and said to the gatekeeper, "The Empress is ill. Please ask me to find a trusted man to enter the palace."

After listening to Zuo Liang's words, the soldiers guarding the door looked at each other and asked with an embarrassed face, "General, does this Langzhong have a will or token or something?" If it was okay in the past, but today, even if you take it with you, we dare not let outsiders enter the palace casually.

Zuo Liang heard this and thought to himself: If he broke in with He Xuan, I'm afraid it would be impossible. But at this time, where can I find a waist card for her? At this time, the time for the virtuous prince to enter the palace is almost the same. What should I do? This Liao Yong, what's wrong idea? Why did he believe this bad idea?

Zuo Liang wanted to say something and fight for it again, but he saw He Xuan carelessly take out the fan given to him by the virtuous king from her arms, shook the pendant below, and asked, "I don't know if this thing can be used with a waist card."

Seeing the jade rabbit, the soldier guarding the door looked at He Xuan in surprise and said, "Naturally." Then he hurriedly made way for Zuo Liang and He Xuan.

Zuo Liang frowned. After entering the door and saw that there was no one left and right, he said, "Didn't you tell you to keep a low profile? Why did you take that thing out again?

"I see that you look embarrassed, as if you are very entangled. Besides, didn't you say you should leave quickly? Can't I take this out with less words?"

Zuo Liang listened to He Xuan's words. Although he was unwilling, he had to agree with He Xuan's words.

But then again, what is the origin of this rabbit? How can you even know a guard?" Seeing that Zuo Liang's face was a little better, He Xuan asked carefully while the iron was hot.

"The origin of this 'rabbit' is really not small! Do you want to know?"

He Xuan nodded.

"I also heard from my father about this matter. Because the emperor has no children for a long time after his accession to the throne, he has loved our virtuous prince, who has been smart and very diligent since he was a child. He is not like now. He seems to be just a leisurely prince. When he was six or seven years old, he began to go to court to listen to politics. Although he did not fully understand it, it was also sunset. Sometimes, when he went down to the court, he would go to the imperial study with the emperor. His father said that he knew a lot of words from the memorial.

"When he was about ten years old, he should have just finished the Yuan Festival. He entered the palace to say hi to the emperor, but at that time, the emperor had not yet arrived because he was tripped up, and he played there. Somehow he played the jade seal in his hand. You can also see that this jade is a piece of sheep fat white jade, which is not very hard in texture, but he We don't know how they played at that time. We only know that when the emperor and father arrived at the imperial study, the eunuch maid knelt on the ground, and the prince also stood there, and the jade seal was also smashed.

"Isn't it a death crime to smash the jade seal!" He Xuan said.

"Yes. Hearing this, the empress dowager, oh, the mother of the virtuous prince, also rushed to the imperial study and knelt down and begged the emperor to remember that the prince was young. Don't be harsh. However, he didn't expect that the emperor only smiled at the matter and ordered people to accept the remnant jade, saying that it was 'broken and safe', and then he only punished the prince to copy "The Same Chapter of Rites and Luck" 100 times to get rid of this matter. Later, the emperor picked a bigger one from it, ordered someone to carve the jade rabbit and gave it to the prince.

Speaking of this, Zuo Liang looked at He Xuan and asked, "Do you understand why everyone saw this jade rabbit like this?"

He Xuan nodded and thought to herself that the emperor's intention to make the jade into a jade rabbit and give it to the prince is nothing more than to let him remember this lesson...

"Do you think the Empress Dowager is the mother of the prince?" He Xuan asked.

"Ye�. The prince is the son of the emperor. Your Majesty is the younger brother of the previous emperor.

He Xuan said "Oh" and nodded. It seems that the relationship in this royal family is really a little complicated! I heard from my adoptive father that in the royal family, for the sake of the throne, it is not surprising that there are many things about each other. It seems that I really underestimate this prince, and it is better to be more guarded of him in the future.

The two talked and walked. Soon, they had arrived outside the Empress Zuo's palace. Zuo Liang invited the eunuch to go in and pass it. He and He Xuan were waiting outside the palace and were waiting. A young father-in-law lowered his head and hurried out of the palace. He Xuan didn't pay attention to him. I bumped into a full of arms.

The little eunuch was suddenly hit on the ground and was about to curse. As soon as he looked up, he saw that it was Zuo Liang and quickly changed his face. He stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, then greeted Zuo Liang with a smile, and then asked, "Yo, General Zuo, you are free to come today."

Zuo Liang nodded. He didn't know this person, and he didn't blame Zuo Liang. In the palace of the left concubine, there were also 100 people up and down. Zuo Liang did not come here often, so he was not a particularly close person, and Zuo Liang did not want to bother to remember it. However, it is difficult for one person to remember a hundred people, and it is still easy for a hundred people to remember such a person. Therefore, no one in this palace says that he doesn't know Zuo Liang.

The little eunuch looked at He Xuan standing next to Zuo Liang and said, "This young man looked fierce. I don't know if it was..."

"Does your father-in-law have anything else to do? I saw you in a hurry just now. Don't miss the business. Zuo Liang interrupted before he finished speaking.

Zuo Liang said that the little eunuch seemed to remember something. He hurriedly saluted and said, "General Zuo, you are really wise. You suddenly saw that I had something to go out. I was really in a hurry, so I left first. I dare to invite you to tea."

With that, he ran away.

Looking at his far away figure, Zuo Liang shook his head helplessly and thought to himself that these little eunuchs were eager to catch someone so that they could climb a good position. Although he did not blame them, he also felt sorry for them for living in a place where the sun was not seen all their lives. I don't know if they would die one day, climb high branches and climb a high position. It's just to protect myself, but I still hate this kind of person from the bottom of my heart.

At this time, the father-in-law Zhao, who was in charge beside the Empress Zuo, picked it up. As soon as he saw Zuo Liang, she said with a smile, "The Empress was happy to hear that the general was coming and told her to go in quickly."

Zuo Liang nodded with a smile and whispered to He Xuan, "Look carefully."

"No need!"

"What?" Zuo Liang looked at He Xuan strangely and thought to himself that it was not easy to enter the palace. You are not going to help me at this time!

"The little father-in-law who just talked to you is the second person I saw that day."

"Why didn't you say it earlier!"

"Have you spoken to me? Before I could say half a word, you let him go, didn't you?" He Xuan glanced at Zuo Liang and said.

"Can you really see it clearly?"

"If you don't believe me, forget it. Should I go in now or not? If I don't go in, I will go back." He Xuan looked at Zuo Liang and said.

"Go in, of course you have to go in. You just said that that's the second person you met, but you haven't seen the first and most important person yet.

"Eunuch Zhao, the father-in-law who just went out is..."

"Oh. It was sent before the New Year. What's the name... Xiao Xu or Xiao Xu..."

"When he comes back, please tell your father-in-law that I have something to do with him."

"Okay."

With that, Zuo Liang took He Xuan's wrist and walked into the door of Zuo Fei's palace for fear that he would run away.

When she walked to the palace, He Xuan kept looking around and looking at every face passing in front of her, but never saw the side face she saw that day.

When she was about to enter the bedroom, Zuo Liang looked at her. She shook her head helplessly, saying that she was not here.
