The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 49

After the team of yamen servants left, the pair of grandparents and grandchildren came and knelt down in front of Mu Xu and the others, and the old man said, "Thank you gentlemen for saving the little old man's family, we kowtow to you."

Mu Xu hurriedly helped him up, picked up the banknote left by Zhen Shihong from the ground, and stuffed it into the old man's arms, "You don't need to do this, old man, take these banknotes and go back to live a good life. Try not to go out recently, so as not to be scared again. meet that person."

The old man couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to accept it, and thankfully took his granddaughter to go.When they left, Mu Xu couldn't help but have a headache looking at Tu Zhen with red and swollen nose and several injured eunuchs. It's no wonder the emperor and empress are not angry when they return to the palace like this.

Tu Zhen didn't want to, but he still looked heartless, as if he hadn't enjoyed the beating yet, and he suddenly said in a bad mood, "You're still laughing, think about how to go back and explain."

Hearing this, Tu Zhen looked around, sat on the wax for a while, and hurriedly said, "What to do, I will definitely be severely punished by my father and mother when I go back, and it will be difficult to go out of the palace again in the future."

Hearing what he said, even if he was afraid of being punished, it was clearly because he was afraid that he would not be able to leave the palace in the future. Mu Xu gave him a supercilious look, "What else can I do, first find a doctor to treat your injuries."

After leaving the teahouse, I found a medical clinic on the street, and treated several people for their injuries. Fortunately, they were all skin traumas, but it didn't matter, but the bruises on the face were not easy to treat.

Tu Zhen also has a big heart. He was worried just now, but after a while he became happy again. He walked out of the medical clinic and walked on the street. A few big men can’t get close to me.” Thinking of Mu Xu’s crisp and sharp skills just now, he still didn’t forget to ask for advice, “Cousin, I think your skills are much better than the guards in the palace, you have to teach me when you have time. .”

Mu Xu could only perfunctory him, "Okay, I'll teach you when I have a chance in the future." Tu Zhen was very excited when he heard that, and didn't want to see a few eunuchs crying, so he couldn't help saying, "Zhao Le, you guys hang your faces For whom to show it, I finally came out, so I can't be happier."

One of the middle-aged eunuchs must be the Zhao Le that Tu Zhen was talking about. He squeezed out a smile, "Master, aren't we afraid that we won't be able to serve you anymore in the future, so we can't bear to part with you for a while?"

Don't look at Tu Zhen's playfulness, he is actually very smart. After thinking about it for a while, he understood the worries of several people. It can be seen that he still values ​​these eunuchs who grew up with him. Yes, he even started to comfort a few people, "What am I supposed to be, wait until I go back, father..." When it came to this, I realized that it was on the street, and immediately changed my words, "Father and mother will punish you when you go back, I will take care of it myself. , besides, you were injured protecting me, so I have to reward you when I go back."

After hearing this, the few people became happy, and they flattered Tu Zhen again, which made him feel excited again, and he insisted on walking around before returning to the palace.

Mu Xu and Tu Rui took turns to persuade him not to stop, so he had no choice but to go forward. When he met the temple fair, Tu Zhen walked around for more than an hour, then he patted his butt in satisfaction, and threw the things he bought to the two of them. He took a few eunuchs back to the palace.

When Tu Zhen returned to the palace, Mu Xu and Tu Rui lost their mind to continue to stay outside. Today, Tu Zhen made them exhausted both physically and mentally. They made an appointment to meet again at another time, and then went back to their homes.After returning to the mansion, Mu Xu casually rewarded a bunch of messy things that Tu Zhen bought to a few maids, and didn't bother to take care of them anymore, letting them pick and choose inside.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sun was rising, Mu Xu was just about to go to the yamen, when someone came to report that there was someone from the palace. Entering the palace by yourself, you have to reprimand yourself.

He came to the front yard full of doubts, and an eunuch was already waiting there.Seeing that the eunuch didn't have an imperial edict in his hand, he naturally didn't have to set up an incense table to receive the edict.Seeing him coming, the eunuch straightened his face, "Here comes an order from the Supreme Emperor, and announce that the prince of Dongping County will enter the palace to see him."

Mu Xu bowed and listened to the instructions, got up and took out a purse and stuffed it to the eunuch, pretending to ask casually, "Do you know what the Supreme Emperor announced to me?"

The eunuch took the purse calmly, stuffed it into his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "This servant really doesn't know, but..." After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "But when I came to pass the decree, Zhen Taigui was in the Dragon Head Office .”

After hearing this, Mu Xu stuffed him with another bank note.After he took it, Mu Xu asked, "I don't know what to call my father-in-law?" He replied, "Why is Gao Yong from the Imperial Horse Supervisor."

"I have admired your father-in-law's name for a long time," Mu Xu complimented him, and then asked him, "But I'm the only one who is said to enter the palace?"

Hearing that Mu Xu only asked him this, Gao Yong breathed a sigh of relief, and replied directly, "There is also Prince Zhongjing." Seeing Mu Xu standing there thinking, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, it's not too early. It's..."

Mu Xu came back to his senses, "I'm sorry, I thought of something else at the moment, let's go now."

When Mu Xu followed Gao Yong to the palace gate, Tu Rui also arrived.The two people entered the palace gate together, Tu Rui leaned over and asked, "Why did the imperial grandfather recruit us into the palace together so early in the morning?"

Mu Xu sneered, "Why else, what happened yesterday."

Tu Rui couldn't help wondering, "How did such a trivial matter yesterday alarm the old man?"

Putting his head close to Tu Rui, Mu Xu whispered, "You forgot that Zhen Shihong has a backer in the palace."

"For such a small matter, Mrs. Zhen..." Tu Rui was taken aback, and was about to yell loudly, but Mu Xu quickly gave him an elbow to silence him.

Under the pain, Tu Rui could only shut up, rubbed his ribs, and looked at Mu Xu with doubts.Mu Xu shrugged, and gave him the expression you wanted.

Before Tu Rui could say anything else, they arrived at Longshou Palace, and the two of them stopped arguing and stood at the door waiting.In less than a moment, a eunuch came out and sent the two of them in.Entering the Chuigong Palace, the scene inside surprised both of them.

I saw the Supreme Emperor sitting on the upper throne, and a woman in gorgeous palace attire sitting on a chair next to the Supreme Emperor's throne, she must be Concubine Zhen.

And the person next to the steps was kneeling on the ground with his ass pouted, two steps away to his right, Tu Zhen was standing there, clenched his fists, glaring at the kneeling person.

After taking a rough look, Mu Xu came to the hall and saluted with Tu Rui.Before the two of them finished worshiping, they listened to the Supreme Emperor's words, "That's all right, no courtesy, Zhen family boy, you can also get up."

Only then did Mu Xu and Tu Rui realize that the person kneeling down was none other than Zhen Shihong whom they had met yesterday.

When they all got up, the Supreme Emperor asked, "Since you are all here, why don't you tell me what happened yesterday? Why did you guys beat the Zhen family boy?"

As soon as Tu Rui heard what the Supreme Emperor said, he immediately understood that this Zhen Shihong dared to sue the wicked first, and immediately became angry, and said, "Grandfather, don't listen to this bastard's side..."

Hearing his bad words, the Emperor was so angry that he patted the armrest of the throne, "Shut up, you still dare to open your mouth now that I'm here, you bastard, shut your mouth, what's your rules?" , put your head down.

The Supreme Emperor wanted to scold him again, so Concubine Zhen got up and came to the Supreme Emperor, stroked his chest with her left hand, patted his back with her right hand, and persuaded softly, "Your Majesty, why are you so angry? Little, there are some who are naughty, just teach this child well later, what will happen to you if you get angry."

After hearing these words, Mu Xu cried out inwardly, it is really good in singing and reciting.She seemed to be concerned about the Taishanghuang's body, and seemed to be excused for Tu Rui, but actually thinking about it carefully, she was just putting eye drops on Tu Rui, this girl is so dark-hearted.
