71. Tianzi Army

As the rumors slowly passed away, order gradually returned to Kyoto.

The second young lady of the prime minister's house has changed from a terrible legend to a "dangerous person" with an educational nature.

For example, in the past, if there was a child in a family who was ignorant, the mother would often say: Be careful and I will take you away.

Now he will say: Be careful that the second lady of the prime minister’s house traps you.

Yun Yao: Okay, as long as you are happy.

Imperial Palace, Second Prince's Mansion.

Under the shiny new tiles, the second prince was wandering around the courtyard, waiting impatiently.

Rao Sanming stood quietly aside. His ancestor was not happy today and he did not dare to speak.

I don't know how long it took, but an old eunuch came over with his head lowered.

His name is Zhou Liang, and he is the chief eunuch beside the Queen Mother. Apart from Li Fu, he is the largest eunuch in the entire palace.

When the second prince saw him, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Eunuch Zhou is here. I wonder how the investigation went?"

Eunuch Zhou was a little fatter and looked quite kind. He smiled and said, "I think the second prince has misunderstood. There has never been anyone suspicious around Concubine De."

"Really?" The second prince suddenly frowned: "Is it possible to miss it?"

Zhou Liang shook his head slightly: "I don't have any other skills, but I still have a good eye for seeing people. Concubine De is definitely not that kind of person."

The second prince was even more unhappy. If this matter had nothing to do with his mother and concubine, wouldn't it mean that someone could really come and go at will inside and outside the palace.

He then asked again: "Eunuch Zhou, are you sure you have spotted it correctly?"

Eunuch Zhou's smile was a bit forced: "Don't worry, Your Highness, there are so many pairs of eyes in the house watching. If something like that really happens, we can't hide it."

When the second prince heard this, he clasped and loosened his hands, loosened and clasped them again, and finally said, "I understand, please help me, Eunuch Zhou."

Rao Sanming stepped forward, handed a heavy money bag to Eunuch Zhou, and said flatteringly: "Your Highness's thoughts."

Eunuch Zhou felt the weight on his hands and was overjoyed. His eyes narrowed and he said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will keep this matter a secret."

He took small silent steps and left awkwardly.

Rao Sanming saw that His Highness's expression was becoming more and more strange, so he comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, the eunuchs and maids in this palace are all the eyes of Eunuch Zhou, and nothing can be hidden from him."

"I know," the second prince said with a gloomy face, "I will go to Deren Palace."

Derengu Palace is the dormitory of Tokubi Empress. Like other places in the harem, ordinary men are not allowed to enter.

In the Shao Kingdom, in order to prevent princes from forming an alliance with their mother's clan, princes must move into their own homes after the age of five and be taken care of by their servants.

Even so, the second prince still relies more on his mother and concubine. Although he is disobedient, he wants to talk to his mother and concubine when he has something to do.

In Deren Palace, Concubine De was selecting the newly delivered jewelry this month. She picked up a gorgeous gold and pearl pine and bamboo hairpin and compared it with her complicated bun. She was quite satisfied.

She is plump and plump, round but not fat, with plump and smooth cheeks. Although she is over thirty-five, she still has a graceful beauty.

Thinking of the impetuous footsteps of the second prince outside the palace, Concubine De's face sank, she put down her hairpin, sighed and said, "Taozhu, go and call Juntian in. There is no need to report."

"Yes, empress." Taozhu, dressed in green plain clothes, walked out with small steps.

After a while, the second prince hurried in.

"Concubine, I wrongly blamed you." The second prince said hurriedly.

Concubine De was just sitting on the bench. When she heard this, her eyebrows jumped and she said, "Don't mention this matter again."

God knows what she was like at that time. She wished she could put this stupid son back into her belly and recreate him.

Now that I had just regained my composure, the second prince came again.

The second prince didn't know what Concubine De was thinking. He was anxious and told Concubine De in detail about Hua Lian's visit to his palace that night.

Concubine De was shocked when she heard this, her round eyes slightly widened: "Is what Tian'er said true?"

The second prince quickly said: "My son, I have never lied. Because I was worried about something happening to my mother and concubine, I denied the matter of the second lady of the prime minister's house in front of my father. The more I think about it, the weirder it gets."

Concubine De didn't believe the rumors at first, and she didn't expect that there really was a second lady, but she definitely didn't believe that a little girl had such skills.

There might be someone else on the other side, but the purpose of this secret person was really hard for her to guess.

Concubine De pondered for a long time and said: "Tian'er, please tell me in detail what happened that day in Qingfeng Pavilion."

The second prince told Concubine De in detail about his experience of listening to the opera.

Concubine De touched the ornate finger guard and said, "Before I left the cabinet, I overheard your grandfather talking about the Tianzi Army."

"What Tianzi Army?" The second prince was stunned.

Concubine De recalled: "Before the death of the late emperor, the border was attacked by Xigan. The soldiers were defeated one after another. People in Kyoto were panicked. It could be described as internal and external troubles."

"The court was in chaos, and many people had thoughts of rebellion. The first to bear the brunt was Yun Zheng, the chief minister at the time, who was Yun Xi's father."

The second prince was shocked: "The Yun family wanted to rebel back then?"

Concubine De nodded slightly and said: "Yun Zheng secretly cultivated an army of a thousand people, each with superior martial arts is the Tianzi Army. But later Yun Xi came to your grandfather and arranged for him to meet with His Majesty. Yun Xi personally said this

Let your Majesty know everything."

"Your Majesty made full preparations and gathered 100,000 militiamen to surround and kill the Tianzi Army to break this disaster."

"But in order to kill this army of only a thousand people, only a few thousand of the 100,000 militiamen survived, and they were injured and maimed."

The second prince's scalp felt numb after hearing this, but he still asked: "What does this have to do with what I did in Qingfeng Pavilion?"

Concubine De said: "The great thing about the Tianzi Army is that they are very good at using hidden weapons and can kill people invisible."

The second prince frowned when he heard this: "Concubine, do you mean that the Tianzi Army is still alive?"

Concubine De shook her head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, be cautious. The bodies must have been counted. I suspect that there are still orphans in the Tianzi Army."

"Then this matter must have something to do with Yun Xiang." The second prince clenched his fists: "I will go and tell my father right now!"

Concubine De stood up anxiously and said, "No!"

"Why?" The second prince felt uncomfortable.

Concubine De sighed secretly: "If you had insisted on the Prime Minister's Palace from the beginning, His Majesty might have become suspicious, but you flatly rejected it and instead allowed Prime Minister Yun to take the initiative to mention the Second Miss. You have already lost the opportunity."

"A person as cruel and ruthless as Yun Xiang dares to harm his own family, so don't try to ask for an explanation."

The second prince was furious: "Yun Xiang is simply too deceptive. He put his grandfather in jail a while ago, and now he has teased me several times. It's absolutely disgusting!"

Concubine De was stunned and said: "Yun Xiang is not a person who would cause trouble for no reason. I'm afraid this move has another meaning."

After saying this, Concubine De seemed to have thought of something and said: "Maybe Yun Xiang knew that the son was not his biological son, so he wanted to use this matter to raise the second lady's worth. After the hairpin ceremony was held, the prime minister's house had another rich lady.

.”

When the second prince heard this, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. When he thought of Yun Xiang using him as a springboard, he wanted to tear Yun Xiang apart.

Concubine De saw that the second prince looked wrong and said quickly: "Don't go against Yun Xiang, you have nothing to lose anyway."

"My concubine is too soft-tempered," the second prince stood up angrily: "This time even the roof of our palace collapsed. If we continue to tolerate it, we don't know what will collapse next time."

After saying that, he tossed his sleeves and turned around to leave.

Concubine De's face turned green and she held her forehead in annoyance. She regretted mentioning this matter very much. Now she could only pray that the second prince would not do anything stupid.
