Chapter 15 The Frightened Rabbit
Cining Hall.
Empress Dowager Gao met the three ministers including Lu Dafang and told them that the real murderer had been executed. The three of them finally felt relieved and left the palace with a smile.
After the three of them left, Empress Dowager Gao rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Is there any movement?"
Zhou He stepped forward and whispered: "Not yet."
Empress Dowager Gao put down her hand, looked outside the door, and said, "Then wait a little longer. What is the official doing?"
What happened last night surprised Empress Dowager Gao. She didn't expect that Zhao Xu already had such thoughts and skills.
He found Wang Deng quietly, and even brought Wang Deng to her, saying that he used Wang Deng to confuse the murderer.
Zhao Xu had already thought about it clearly and was sure that she would cooperate.
This kind of trick and operation is something that ordinary people can’t do, and they don’t dare to do it!
This also aroused some vigilance from her, as the highest power in the Song Dynasty.
Zhou He lowered his head and said, "The official family is in Cuju."
Empress Dowager Gao was stunned, then nodded slightly and said, "This is also a cover-up, let that person take a good look."
Zhou He did not respond and stood respectfully.
Empress Dowager Gao didn't say much, picked up the memorial and continued to review it.
On the side of Funing Palace, Zhao Xu was playing football, and suddenly he saw a young boy about ten years old with a blindfold standing on the steps in front of Funing Palace.
Zhao Xu looked at it a few times, paused Cuju, walked over and said with a smile: "Brother Ninth, are you coming to see me?"
This person is Zhao Xu's ninth brother, Zhao Qi, who is a blind man, so he wears a blindfold.
The horns of the face are thin and gentle and restrained.
Zhao Qi raised his hand in the direction of the voice and said, "Zhao Qi has seen the official family. He just passed by and heard the sound of Cuju. He walked in and took a look. I disturb the official family's Yaxing. Please forgive me."
Zhao Xu reached out and pulled his arm and said, "You and my brother, why should you see the outside world? Come and talk to my study."
Zhao Quanyu almost avoided it in lightning, and quickly raised his hand with a guilty look on his face and said, "The official family is forgiven. I am a blind man and I am not used to touching anyone."
Zhao Xu looked at his blindfold and felt a little moved. If Zhao Qi was not a blind man, the throne in history would be his.
In history, after Zhao Xu died in his early twenties, Zhao Qi was the ninth elder, the oldest, the oldest, Zhao Ji was the eleventh elder, the second. All the brothers between them had died, and Zhao Qi was the first heir to rank.
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go have tea."
Zhao Quan still hid for a while and said hesitantly: "Official family, I have been out for too long. My mother will be worried, so I'll go back first."
This is the difficulty for the blind. If you don’t see each other for a while, your family will be worried.
Zhao Xu understood and said, "Okay, I'll go to your palace another day and have a good chat with you."
Zhao Quanju is a blind man, unable to study, unable to go too far, and is an isolated prince.
Zhao Qiu hurriedly said, "How dare I bother the official family? If the official family has any instructions, I will come immediately even if I send someone to spread the word."
Zhao Xu looked at his careful appearance and sighed in his heart, saying, "We are brothers, look at the Eleventh brother, you are having fun with me all day long. You tell your little girl that you can come to me even if you have nothing to do, so it's okay for us to talk."
Zhao Qi's expression was hesitant, as if he wanted to speak but stopped, and finally raised his hand and said, "I, I'll take a break."
As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Zhao Xu looked at him and hurriedly said, "Come here, send Your Highness Jiu back to the palace."
A yellow gate came not far away and walked in front to guide Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi turned around in a panic and saluted, but turned around and looked at Chu You and others.
Then, he hurriedly turned around, quickly moved forward, and ran into the inner prisoner in front.
Zhao Xu looked at his back with a silent expression. He could probably understand Zhao Qi, a blind prince born in illegitimately, and his mother was excluded. Not only would she not have more care in the palace, but she would probably add a lot of difficulties and sarcasm.
After Zhao Qi left, Zhao Xu lost interest in playing football and went back to the study.
Zhao Xu sat in the study, spreading out the book, thinking about Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi was ten years old and several months older than Zhao Ji. Because he was a blind man, he rarely came out, but he was very kind. If he were not a blind man, he would definitely be a humble, polite, enthusiastic sunny boy, who was much better than that little bastard Zhao Ji.
If he was not a blind man and had nothing to do with Zhao Ji, perhaps there would be no shame to Jing Kang...
“What a pity…”
Zhao Xu was full of thoughts and shook his head secretly.
After lunch, Chenpi finally came back and said excitedly: "The official family, the villain finally found out that Gao Langjun is going to play polo tomorrow and will come out of the mansion."
"oh……"
Zhao Xu's eyes were a little surprised. Gao Gongji had been hiding for so many days and was finally coming out? Is it because Empress Dowager Gao handed over the phone, or was it that the palace had already "find it"?
Zhao Xu looked at Chenpi and said, "You make arrangements tomorrow. I want to leave the palace. I will take you and Chu You to do it more concealedly. I can't let people know that I leave the palace. Is there any way?"
Chen Pi frowned and thought hard for a while, and said, "It's easy to go out, just disguise it. But there is no one in the palace, so the empress and the others in the palace will find it."
When Zhao Xu heard this, he thought silently that he was an emperor who was undermined and his every move attracted much attention. Empress Dowager Gao had to know that he would send someone to "catch" him back as soon as possible, and he would not do anything at all.
Chenpi thought hard and suddenly said, "If the 11th Highness cooperates, it will be almost perfect."
Zhao Xu's eyes lit up, and then he thought of a solution.
If Zhao Ji had that little bastard blocked the door of his study and cooperated with acting, it would be enough to fool others, and he would not have been discovered to have left the palace in a short period of time.
Zhao Xu looked at Chen Pi with satisfaction and smiled, "This method is good. I'll tell him well tomorrow. This little bastard is not enough to make trouble, so he can't let me ruin my business."
Chenpi laughed with her and said, "Yes, the villain will go now."
...
The next day, before lunch.
Chen Pi picked Zhao Ji out of the school building and walked towards Funing Hall.
Zhao Ji carried his small schoolbag and said happily: "Dan Pi, is the official looking for me to Cuju? By the way, I have a meal first. I haven't had a meal with the official for a long time..."
Chen Pi looked at Zhao Ji and thought to himself that the Eleventh Prince really remembered to eat and not beat him. He smiled and said, "The official didn't say anything, just asked the young man to invite the Eleventh Prince over."
Zhao Ji became more and more happy, almost jumped up, and shouted: "It must be Cuju, go, hurry up!"
Chen Pi looked at Zhao Ji's back and observed a moment of silence for him in his heart.
Zhao Ji soon arrived at the side of Funing Hall. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhao Xu sitting at the table. There was a lot of vegetables on the table. He was overjoyed, threw away his schoolbag and ran over, squatted beside Zhao Xu, reached out to tear the chicken legs, and said happily: "I knew that the official family wanted to have meals with me. Official family, I will be Cuju later. I thought about several ways to play Cuju last night..."
Zhao Xu looked at him with a smile, and when his mouth was stuffed with chicken legs, he slowly said: "I have adjusted your studies from the school building before, and asked about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting strategies. You are almost always inferior."
Zhao Ji's movements froze, then continued to eat, and said in a vague way: "There are too many studies..."
Zhao Xu smiled more and looked at him and said, "What I said is, eat slowly, this table is yours."
Zhao Ji blinked, chewed his little mouth quickly, and looked at Zhao Xu and said, "Officials, I have made no mistakes except for my studies."
Zhao Xu said with a smile: "Is that true?"
