Chapter 129 Frightened by him (4)
"Your Majesty, are you worried?"

"He went there at the order of His Majesty, and I have nothing to say. For so many years, he has been very respectful to me. This son is still good." Empress Tang frowned.

"Then what is your empress doing with such an expression? Your majesty, His Royal Highness has always been filial to your mother, how could you not get close to your empress? Your empress is worrying too much." Situ Shanggong said sympathetically.

Empress Tang smiled and said, "If it wasn't your idea back then, I wouldn't be able to sit in the back seat today, but I'm afraid that Xu You won't be safe."

Situ Shanggong pursed his lips tightly, even though he knew that Empress Tang's words meant a lot of probing, "Your Majesty, you promised me back then that you would never leave the monk after fasting anyway. After all these years, has she ever said a word? Your Majesty Back then, Xu You wanted to cut grass and roots, but Xu You was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Isn’t this a good situation now? Everyone has their own positions, and the empress can also sit firmly in the harem.”

Empress Tang's expression became solemn, "Situ Hui, you're right to still defend Xu You like this. Your affection for her is very deep."

"Your Majesty, what you say hurts the enemy as well as yourself." Situ Shanggong quickly countered, and then stepped forward with a chuckle, "My whole heart for Your Majesty can be learned from the sun and the moon."

Empress Tang looked at this charming face and chuckled lightly, neither believing nor disbelief, if she hadn't hindered many people and things back then, she would not have allowed herself to be in a passive situation.

The stars seemed to be hidden in the clouds tonight, without a single ray of light, Sun Datong led the way with a lantern in front, and seeing Yu Wenhong's serious expression when he turned his head, he didn't dare to say a word.

Yu Wenhong followed Sun Datong's light as he walked in the palace alley at night, thinking about the throbbing in his heart when he looked at the coffin in Xu's mourning hall today, he still remembers the first time he saw the old lady Xu when he was young , he smiled very kindly. At that time, he was cooling off at the mansion of his grandfather Tang Chongli.

"Who are you? How did you appear in my grandfather's mansion?"

"Who are you? How did you appear in the Grand Master's house?"

"Hmph, Gu is the prince, you haven't answered Gu's question yet? Why should Gu answer your question?"

At that time, he looked up at the gray-haired old man with his head up. Who did the old man think he was and asked him something, but when he heard his words, his expression suddenly became serious, and there was a look of confusion in his eyes. It was very hot, and then quickly dimmed, and he saluted: "The old minister sees His Royal Highness, His Highness is indeed very strong."

He raised his head and said with displeasure: "It's not fun, the old man is hard."

"Then how does His Highness want to play?" the old man looked at him lovingly and asked.

"If you want to ride a horse alone, can you?" He said intentionally.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness is still young, how can you ride a horse? It will be bad if you fall off."

"So stupid, Sun Datong, why don't you tell him what riding a horse is?" He shouted at Sun Datong.

Sun Datong gestured to the old man to get down, and the old man understood now, he thought he would be angry, but he bent down and got down on his knees, acting as a horse for him to ride.

What was the situation like?By the way, he got bored after riding for a while, and when his grandfather came, he was taken back to the palace by his mother, so he missed the loving and disappointed eyes of the old man.

After returning to the East Palace, he gradually pulled away from that warm memory, took the teacup handed by Sun Datong, and saw the strange expression on Sun Datong's face, "What happened?"

"Your Highness, the ghost has been found."

Yu Wenhong's face, which had been softened a little by the memories, suddenly sank, "Who is it?" Squeezing out the words through his teeth, thinking of what happened that night, he tightly squeezed the tea bowl in his hand, with a look of cold air .

"Your Highness, it's Xiao Lingzi. The old slave has been testing him for a long time. Today, the Third Prince came out of the clan's residence, and only then did he catch him. It seems that he secretly contacted the Third Prince. It seems that it is not overnight." Sun Da said.

Little Lingzi?His personal eunuch, no wonder he had a stomachache that day, and took the opportunity to stay in the East Palace. It turned out that he had already known that he would be attacked and killed by the third brother.

What Yu Wenhong hates the most is someone betraying him, no matter who that person is?He put down the tea bowl heavily, clenched his fists and said angrily: "Sun Datong, gather all the people in the East Palace, and ask them to see what will happen to them if they betray Gu?"

Sun Datong nodded yes.

The corridor of the Eastern Palace was lit with lights, illuminating the yard very brightly. All the eunuchs were standing there, very embarrassed. The gloomy expression of His Highness the Crown Prince looked like he was about to sneer against the firelight. Many people They all lowered their heads not daring to look directly.

Sun Datong's expression did not change much. With a tense face, he asked the little Lingzi who had been beaten to death to be dragged up, "Your Highness, bring this traitor here."

"Your Highness...slave...no..."

Yu Wenhong was sitting in a round chair on the porch, turning his fingers lightly in his hands, looking coldly at the little Lingzi who begged him.

"What does Gu hate the most? Everyone who can stay in the East Palace for a long time knows it, not to mention that you have been by Gu's side for a long time. Don't think that your actions are perfect. Today Gu will let you go. You all know the fate of betraying Gu, so you all raise your heads for Gu, and watch carefully, his fate today is the fate of you if you betray Gu in the future." Yu Wenhong finally shouted loudly, his gloomy and cold appearance made people feel heartbroken Han, clapped his hands.

Zhang Sanjiu, the head of the guards, came over with a wooden barrel.

"Show them what's in the barrel, whoever dares to close his eyes, I will let him close his eyes forever." Yu Wenhong said coldly.

A group of eunuchs didn't even dare to blink their eyes, they were forced to look at the snake crawling in the wooden barrel and gnawing on a dead body. The group of snakes were gnawing on the carrion, and the green eyes of the snake were reflected by the firelight. It was appalling, and some people were so frightened that they wet their pants on the spot.

The wooden barrel was turned around for everyone present to see, Xiao Lingzi saw that even shit came out, did His Highness think so?
"Sun Datong, throw him in." Yu Wenhong's voice lacked any warmth.

"No, Your Highness, the slave is wrong, please forgive me, Your Highness..." The little Lingzi, whose hands and feet were bound, cried, no matter how he resisted, he was no match for the strength of the guards.
