Donggong Ce [Rebirth]

Chapter 31

Dugu Zhu was not negligent in guarding against him, guarding him like an iron bucket along the way.

Xie Gui and his party were sent directly to the palace.

Xie Gui also thought about letting the dead man take him away alone.But it is too risky to do so. Dugu not only has troops under his command, but also his soldiers and horses in the royal court. There are only two of them, so it is difficult to escape smoothly.

What's more, he has already clashed with Dugu Zhu, once he is angered again, it is very likely that he will die.

Because of their good looks, the two concubines were sent to the residence of a civil servant.The rest of the servants were also dispersed to the noble families.

In the end, only Xie Gui and the dead man remained in the palace.

Seeing Xie Gui's handsome appearance, the palace people deliberately kept him.The dead man was purely coincidental, and he was kept because he was fairly handsome.

The two of them didn't hang around for long, and soon someone came to contact them, and Dugu Zhu left first.Before leaving, he specially put handcuffs on the dead man.

There are three people leading the way for the two, one inner eunuch, one maid, and one guard.

Compared with the unsmiling eunuchs and guards, the court ladies are younger and more lively.Seeing Xie Gui and the two, he was not restrained, but came up curiously to ask some questions.

The little palace lady can speak some official language of Dashun, and her voice is soft.She started from the two people's names, asked about Da Shun's customs and customs, and twittered like sparrows all the way, without stopping.

Xie Gui walked around in the officialdom all year round, and he dealt with them smoothly, without a trace of impatience.Xin Chen, the dead soldier, was different. He stayed in the dark all year round. Now she was arguing all the way, and he felt a group of ducks calling, and he wanted to plug his ears to death.

As we walked deeper and deeper along the way, the surroundings became quieter and more refined, and the guards retreated at some point.The little maid behaved a little better, she stopped asking questions, and started talking with the inner eunuch in Zhai people's language.

Xie Gui had learned some Zhai language before, which came in handy at this time.However, because I didn't learn deeply, I could only understand part of it.

The inner eunuch deliberately turned his head to look at him, Xie Gui was at a loss, as if he didn't understand anything.Xin Chen, the dead man, was also very cooperative, and looked at him blankly.

Only then did the inner eunuch turn his head away in satisfaction, and continued talking to the little maid.

He asked the little maid: "The little princess still hasn't eaten?"

"Her Royal Highness is arguing with the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince is very sad, and is still persuading her."

The little maid let out a long sigh, her speech speed became very fast, and she was a little excited.The inner eunuch listened quietly, chatting with her from time to time.

Walking near a palace garden, Xie Gui heard lively voices inside.The eunuch and the maid looked at each other, and the little maid sighed, "The crown prince spoiled the princess."

Just after finishing speaking, the sound of throwing things suddenly erupted in the palace garden.A man scolded a few words loudly, and then rushed out of the palace with a dozen palace people.

The eunuchs and maids bowed their heads one after another, and Xie Gui followed suit to avoid complications.

After the man took the man away, pitiful weeping erupted in the palace.

"The princess is crying again." The little maid sighed again, and turned to look at Xie Gui and the two.

Xie Gui had a strange feeling.

The little maid smiled slyly, and pointed at Xie Gui: "Young master, go and change your clothes, teach the princess how to read, and learn some Dashun official dialect."

After all, it was not physical work, and Xie Gui breathed a sigh of relief after being able to survive for a while.

I don't know if this princess is easy to deal with.

The little palace maid raised her chin again, and said to the dead man: "You are stronger, go wash it up. The princess is mainly interested in you, and you are always ready to serve."

Xie Gui felt that he didn't hear clearly for a moment, and looked at the little maid in a daze.

The dead man Xin Chen's reaction was even more jumpy: "What servant?"

It was the little maid's turn to be surprised: "How else can I serve you? Sleep with the princess. You look good, and you are stronger than him—the princess doesn't like people who are too thin."

Xie Gui knew that in the previous dynasty, there were aristocratic women who raised faces, and there were also princesses who carried their concubines on their backs and raised people outside.Although the folk customs of this dynasty are open, such behaviors are all hidden in the dark.

It's the first time I've seen this princess bluntly raising a man in captivity.

Xie Gui secretly rejoiced that he had lost weight due to illness, and gave Xin Chen a sympathetic look.

Xin Chen's expression was complicated, so he reminded the little maid first: "This aunt, the little one has kung fu, isn't the palace afraid that the little one will harm the princess..."

What he said was straightforward enough, but the little maid was even more surprised. Then she clapped her hands and said, "That's right, you Dashun people, if you haven't heard of it, you're right."

She looked at Xin Chen, "You, don't try to do bad things. There are many hidden guards guarding the princess. The last one who disobeyed hurt the princess's face, was drugged by the crown prince, and suffocated to death."

Xin Chen felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his expression was numb.

The little palace maid yelled a few words, and two little eunuchs came over and wanted to take Xin Chen to take a bath.

Xin Chen tightly grabbed Xie Gui's sleeve, and murmured carefully: "Your Highness sent the younger one over, but he didn't say that he would sell himself..."

Xie Gui also had no choice but to persuade, "Just keep a low profile and don't let the princess stare at you. The priority is to save your life."

Xin Chen wants to cry but has no tears.

-

Fortunately, for three days in a row, the princess did not call anyone to attend her bed.

The little palace maid who took them before was named Axuan, who was the princess' servant.According to her explanation, the princess was fighting against the crown prince and didn't even eat food, so how could she be in the mood to invite others.

Xie Gui was curious: "Why do you want to fight?"

Axuan said sullenly: "The crown prince wants to find a marriage for the princess, but the princess is reluctant to part with the royal court and doesn't want to leave."

She didn't say much, Xie Gui thought about teaching Princess Dayun Mandarin, and thought about it.

In the previous life, Feng Yuan did not establish a concubine, until he became the emperor, he took in a few concubines in order to silence the courtiers.Until he died in the sky prison, Feng Yuan's back position was still hanging.

In this life, Feng Yuan still had contacts with the Zhai people, and the fact that the Sheng family extended his hand to Yandi indicated that the Eighth Prince was also involved.

Which Prince Shun does the Crown Prince like?

Xie Gui was in a trance for a moment.

Could it be, the one he likes...is King Yan, right?

There was an inexplicable sour emotion in his heart, as if he had lost his thinking, and he didn't want to believe this possibility.

A Xuan said something about the princess again, Xie Gui was in a mess and couldn't listen at all.

As she chattered, the crown prince came to visit the princess again.Xie Gui got up in a daze, and stood in the corner with A Xuan.

The princess was indeed spoiled. Even in the face of the crown prince, she still quarreled with him confidently.The crown prince also had no choice but to coax her for a while, but it was useless, and then argued with her helplessly.

The princess argued for a while, and then began to cry.The crown prince scolded repeatedly, suddenly someone dressed as a warrior came in hurriedly, leaving aside all the maids and guards, and whispered something in the crown prince's ear.

From Xie Gui's perspective, one can clearly see the expression of the crown prince.

The crown prince was taken aback for a moment, and asked the other party: "Is that what the spies said?"

He spoke the language of Zhai people, and did not deliberately suppress his voice.Xie Gui listened in a daze, until the warrior muttered the word "Yan Wang", he suddenly woke up.

"Azhu is ready?"

"It's ready, His Royal Highness. General Dugu has ordered [-] soldiers and horses, ready to go to Tingyun Pass to explore the way."

The crown prince frowned: "But as soon as King Yan went to Tingyun Pass, Shuofang's army moved out of the pass, which is not quite right."

The warrior did not speak, waiting for the crown prince to order.

"Tell Ah Zhu, I will give him another five thousand in my name. It would be the best if it can make the Shuofang army suffer a bit."

"Yes."

The warrior left quickly, and Xie Gui had already calmed down.

It seems that the crown prince has another favorite candidate.If he fell in love with King Yan, he would not let Dugu Zhu rush to Tingyun Pass and cause trouble for King Yan.

If when King Yan was at Tingyun Pass, Shuofang's army suffered the defeat of the Zhai people...

It was an extraordinary mess.Just the crime of delaying military affairs is enough to make it difficult for Fengzhang to stand up.

After calming down, Xie Gui began to fall into anxiety again.

Fengzhang must have gone to Tingyun Pass for him, did Fengzhang know that the Zhai people were going to confront the Shuofang army?

Xie Gui wished he could put on his wings, fly to Tingyun Pass, and tell Feng Zhang about it.

How can the news be passed on?

Xie Gui was burning with anxiety, showing nervousness unconsciously.The crown prince noticed something moving, so he glanced at Xie Gui.

The princess kept men around her all the year round, and over time, he got used to it, and never took the men in the princess palace seriously.

Taking a very casual look, the Crown Prince was going to throw a warning look, but he was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly got up, looked at Xie Gui in disbelief, and even changed his voice when he spoke:

"Aunt Yan..."
