Half an hour ago.

Nangong Jin, the Crown Prince of Thailand, came to the emperor's palace after going to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.

Since the emperor was busy with the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven at this time, he could only wait outside.

Li Gui came out of the palace and accompanied him diligently.

When Nangong Jin was a child, he often came to the palace to play with the emperor, so he and Li Gui had known each other since childhood.

The two chatted for a while.

Li Gui suddenly changed the subject and whispered about Luo Qingzhou.

"His Royal Highness, you don't know something. Mr. Luo, whom His Majesty favored recently, was actually born in a humble manner. He was just a concubine. In the end, he married into the Qin family. In the autumn examination, he got the first place in Mocheng..."

"When the eldest princess was in Mocheng, she doted on him very much. It is said that she often called him into the palace to chat. As for what they talked about, no one knew. And when the eldest princess proposed to reduce his rank, the Qin family was the first to agree and took the initiative to resign...

…”

"After arriving in Kyoto, the eldest princess was also very concerned about the Qin family. There was a scandal that involved the Qin family. The eldest princess came personally and took the Qin family members away from the hands of the Jin Yiwei. His Majesty was also present at that time... The Qin family

Everyone is very arrogant..."

"After the eldest princess finally went to the border, Mr. Luo immediately came to curry favor with His Majesty and the Queen Mother. Your Majesty seemed to trust him very much..."

At this point, he glanced left and right, and lowered his voice and said: "But I feel that Mr. Luo may have some problems. They were loyal to the eldest princess at the beginning. And the eldest princess has a maid, and your majesty likes it.

He wanted to take her as his concubine, but the little bitch would rather die than commit suicide. It is said that the maid was originally the woman of Mr. Luo. Do you think he wouldn't think too much about it?"

"So, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be deceived. That Mr. Luo is very cunning..."

"By the way, His Highness the Crown Prince, when I sent him back, I heard him talk privately, saying that His Majesty should not hand over all military power to His Royal Highness the King of Thailand. He also said that His Highness the Crown Prince, you... you..."

Nangong Jin's eyes turned cold and he said, "What did you say about me?"

Li Gui lowered his head and looked around again, with a confused look on his face: "I dare not say anything."

Nangong Jin's face darkened and he said, "Li Gui, what are you afraid of? Just say it! There is no one else here."

Li Gui said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid that Your Majesty will blame me if he knows that I'm speaking ill of Mr. Luo behind his back."

Nangong Jin's face was as cold as frost and he said: "Don't worry, I won't tell others, just say it."

Li Gui glanced at him, immediately approached him, and whispered: "That boy was very proud and arrogant after being praised by His Majesty and the Queen Mother. When the servant sent him back that night, he directly said that next year's number one scholar must be him, and he also

He said that when he becomes an official, he will impeach you, His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince. He said that you raped civilian girls in Kyoto and acted wildly. You are not worthy... you are not worthy of being the Crown Prince, let alone commanding the army with the King of Thailand..."

"boom!"

Nangong Jin slapped his palm on the railing in front of him, with a stern expression on his face: "That kid really said that?"

Li Gui immediately panicked and said: "How dare I deceive His Highness the Crown Prince? At that time, that boy was so high-spirited that he seemed to ignore everyone. He commented and ridiculed all the four great princes in Kyoto. Alas..."

At this point, he sighed again and said: "When that boy said bad things about you, Your Highness, the servant immediately retorted, but he...he came up and slapped the servant on the face. From that day on

, every time he sees the slave, he will slap the slave. If His Highness doesn’t believe it, you can ask the guards... The slave feels aggrieved... Wuwu..."

After saying that, he immediately covered his face and started crying softly.

Nangong Jin clenched his fists, with a stern look in his eyes, and said: "Li Gui, don't cry. It depends on the owner to beat a dog. You are the person next to His Majesty after all, and the person I have played with since childhood. Since he dares to humiliate

You, my eldest son, will naturally not spare him."

Li Gui quickly added: "Your Highness, it doesn't matter if I feel a little wronged. The main reason is that I am afraid that Your Majesty is young and will be deceived by that cunning boy. After all, that boy used to be the eldest princess's son and is loyal to the eldest princess..."

Nangong Jinyin's face was sullen, his eyes flashed with sternness, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "In that case, I just want to test him today. To see if he is really loyal to His Majesty or to others.

dedicated!"

Li Gui's expression changed, and he quickly asked in a low voice: "What are you going to try, Your Highness?"

Nangong Jin's eyes flashed, he took out a letter from his arms, and sneered: "This is a secret message from the border army. Li Gui, you go to him later and say that I want to see him.

Take him to the pavilion in the back garden. When the time comes, I will deliberately leave this secret letter behind to see his reaction. Whether he picks it up or not, I will make the decision and ask you to return the slaps he gave you.

!”

At this point, he snorted coldly and said: "If he dares to hide secretly, he and his Qin family will be executed by everyone, and no one will be left behind!"

When Li Gui heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he immediately thanked him profusely, and his heart blossomed with joy.

Nangong Jin waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait in the pavilion behind."

Li Gui immediately agreed and left in a hurry, his heart filled with the pleasure of revenge.

When he took two eunuchs to the square outside the Jinluan Palace, he quickly saw the elegant young man wearing a large Confucian robe.

"Little bastard! Your death has come!"

Li Gui gritted his teeth and thought to himself, but his face was calm. He lowered his head and walked over quickly, saying respectfully: "Mr. Luo, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Palace of Thailand wants you to come."

Luo Qingzhou stared into his eyes when he came from a distance. At this time, he still looked into his eyes and said, "Does His Highness the Crown Prince have anything to do with me?"

At this time, Qin Wenzheng, Qin Chuan and others also looked over.

Li Gui lowered his head and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness loves poetry very much. I just learned from the Queen Mother that Mr. Luo is talented and good at poetry, so I want to meet Mr. Luo and make friends with Mr. Luo."

Luo Qingzhou stared into his eyes and said, "Oh? Really?"

Li Guidao: "Yes, Mr. Luo, please hurry up and don't keep His Royal Highness waiting."

Luo Qingzhou's eyes moved, and he turned to Qin Wenzheng and others and said: "Father-in-law, you wait here, I will come back as soon as possible."

Bai Ling on the side immediately said in a crisp voice: "Uncle, I will come with you."

Li Gui raised his head and glanced at her, with a look of amazement in his eyes, and said respectfully: "This girl, His Royal Highness sees no outsiders, only Mr. Luo."

Bai Ling wanted to speak, but Luo Qingzhou said: "You stay here with Madam, I can go by myself."

Li Gui was overjoyed and immediately said: "Master Luo, please."

Luo Qingzhou was calm and walked ahead.

Qin Wenzheng looked at their backs and frowned slightly.

Qin Chuan said worriedly: "Dad, I heard in the college that the Crown Prince of Thailand has been domineering in Kyoto since he was a child, bullying the weak, and has a very bad reputation. If Qingzhou goes alone, nothing will happen, right?"

Qin Wenzheng glanced at him and said indifferently: "What can happen? Do you think Qingzhou is just like you and has no brains?"

Qin Chuan: "..."

As Luo Qingzhou walked forward, he turned around and asked, "Eunuch Li, where are we going now?"

Li Gui quickly walked beside him to lead the way, lowered his head and said: "Go to the Royal Garden, His Royal Highness is waiting there."

Luo Qingzhou said: "Imperial Garden? Is Your Majesty here?"

Li Guidao: "Your Majesty is still burning incense, bathing, and preparing various worship gifts. His Royal Highness is the only one there."

Several people were talking and walking forward.

A group of patrolling soldiers walked up the road, glanced at a few of them, and left quickly.

After the pair of patrolling soldiers walked to the corner not far away, the leading captain said: "You go and patrol in front first, while I go to the latrine."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

"Master Luo, this way."

Li Gui led the way, his face full of respect, but his heart was getting more and more excited.

Thinking of the scene where the little bastard would regret it later and be slapped by him himself, he couldn't help but grin, but luckily he held it back.

Several people walked through the nine-curved corridor and came to the garden at the back.

Luo Qingzhou followed him, passed through a round door, and immediately saw the young man standing in the pavilion in front of him.

The young man was wearing a luxurious brocade robe, with a slender figure and quite handsome appearance. He was walking around the pavilion with his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about something.

The stone table in the pavilion is filled with colorful fruits and pastries.

Li Gui hurriedly walked over and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Mr. Luo is here."

Nangong Jin turned around and looked at the young man behind him.

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and cupped his hands and said: "I, Luo Qingzhou, would like to pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Nangong Jin showed a smile on his face and said: "Li Gui, please step aside first and I'll talk to Mr. Luo."

Li Gui immediately bowed his head and retreated.

Nangong Jin stretched out his hand to invite: "Mr. Luo, please come in, sit down and talk."

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said, "Just stand down here."

Nangong Jin said with a smile: "How can that be done? I just came from the Queen Mother and heard that the Queen Mother was full of praise for Sir's talent. Your Majesty also loves Sir very much. I also heard that the company commander's princess has special respect for Sir. I, Nangong

Jin Ke doesn’t dare to neglect.”

After saying that, he invited again: "Sir, please."

Luo Qingzhou did not refuse, lowered his head and walked in.

Nangong Jin sat down first and said with a smile: "Sir, please have a seat."
