Donggong Zhangjiao

The sound of referring to His Royal Highness immediately made Pei Yao and Fang Yun vigilant.

But Pei Yao had seen the storm after all, so he was naturally stable.

After silently looking Liu Qin up and down, he opened his mouth in a deep voice.

"Why do you call me that, sir?"

The seemingly simple and calm rhetorical question was full of coercion.

Even though he was injured and was still living in a shabby house, the power of the superiors that had been cultivated on Pei Yao for many years remained undiminished.

After all, Liu Qin was not very old, so he moved his body a little nervously.

But he quickly steadied himself and knelt down more respectfully.

"Although Caomin is not talented, he has also studied with Mr. Private School for several years. When His Highness was rescued, the robe he wore was embroidered with a four-clawed dragon pattern. This pattern is for the crown prince, so Caomin ventured to guess, and just now Caomin went out. When buying medicine, I learned from the officers and soldiers that today the emperor returned to Beijing from an autumn hunt, and when he passed the Xianghe bridge, there was an accident, and the crown prince and a Liangdi who was traveling with him fell into the water and disappeared, so the Caomin dared to confirm the identities of you two."

After listening to this explanation, Pei Yao raised his jaw slightly.

"Then since you already have guesses about our identities, why didn't you ask for help when you encountered officers and soldiers searching for rescue?"

"Caomin is thinking about His Highness's safety." Liu Qin replied neatly, "When His Highness and Liangdi were rescued by Caomin's father, they were both injured, which shows that they are in danger. I understand that His Highness is in a dangerous situation now, so the grassroots dare not make decisions without authorization."

After he finished speaking, Pei Yao showed a little appreciation for the young man in front of him.

Finally no longer denying it, he nodded.

"You did a good job, Yu Gu, you are very kind."

And receiving Pei Yao's praise, Liu Qin kowtowed immediately.

"The grassroots dare not, and the ministers are loyal to the emperor. Although the grassroots have not yet obtained fame and official status, as a citizen of Daqi, they should do the same."

"Haven't you ever thought of taking Gu's head in exchange for a high-ranking official?" Pei Yao asked casually.

Hearing this, Liu Qin looked up at him, then quickly lowered his head and cupped his hands, his tone became more and more firm.

"Cao Min boldly speaks out, please don't blame your highness, if your highness is a fool, the grass people should despise you, but your highness is not like this, on the contrary, although the current emperor has no fault in the government, he inherited the throne with the great trust of the previous emperor, but he has selfishness. It is unbelief and unrighteousness, King Ming, as a subject, wants to seek the throne, this is disloyalty, such a person, the grassroots disdain to work for him."

After he finished speaking, Pei Yao's eyes became more and more appreciative.

After all, if you dare to say these words, you are considered very courageous. What's even more rare is that you can understand clearly, see clearly, and have your own opinions at a young age.

Standing by the side, Fang Yun, besides admiring Liu Qin, was extremely grateful that Pei Yao had established a good reputation as the prince these years, and was not splashed with dirty water by Empress Li and King Ming.

Otherwise, Liu Qin should have been reported by Liu Qin at this moment.

"What a bold and straightforward person. He has courage and insight at a young age, and he will definitely become a talent in the future. Get up quickly." Pei Yao smiled.

After Liu Qin got up, he whispered again.

"Gu and Fang Liangdi's identities, for the time being, don't tell your family members, the less people know, the safer."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the grass-roots know." Liu Qin nodded, and then asked, "In front of that person, how should the grass-people address Your Highness and Liang Di?"

He asked this question, Pei Yao thought for a while, then said.

"Gu's biological mother's surname is Wen, so you can call Gu Mr. Wen, and call her Gu's wife."

While talking, Pei Yao glanced at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun also nodded slightly in response.

After saying this, Pei Yao asked about Liu Qin's affairs outside.

Liu Qin was also unambiguous, and immediately repeated the news he had heard.

Now there are two groups of people outside, the royal guards and the Jingdu guards, respectively searching the woods on both sides of the river and the nearby villages, and some are salvaging in the river.

Because the Liu family depended on chopping firewood for a living, they lived here alone and were not in the village, so they haven't found this area yet.

What Liu Qin said to his father Liu Jinzhu just now was not a lie, seeing how unfriendly some of the officers and soldiers were.

According to his observations, there was a high probability that someone from King Ming was hiding among these search and rescue officers and soldiers, and they even pretended to be ordinary merchants, and they were also secretly looking for the whereabouts of Pei Yao and Fang Yun.

So he didn't dare to be sloppy, and he didn't dare to buy wound medicine for the time being. If King Ming was watching the medicine shop, and suddenly bought these medicines for wound healing and anti-birth, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

"Now that the emperor's royal family has returned to the palace, it is Prime Minister Lu and the commander of the Jingdu Wei Commander Hu Daixu who are directing the search and rescue, but there are still other people involved in the secret. If the grassroots want to report for His Highness, they can only try to meet Prime Minister Lu or Hu in person. Only adults can have a chance, but with eyeliners watching in the dark, it may be difficult."

Liu Qin frowned and expressed his worries.

Pei Yao naturally thought of this too.

King Ming sent people to assassinate him from the very beginning, if he failed once, he would definitely redouble his counterattacks, this kind of time cannot be taken lightly.

"Your Highness, I have a plan, I wonder if it will work." Fang Yun said softly.

Hearing the sound, both Pei Yao and Liu Qin looked sideways at her.

Then I heard Fang Yun say, "Now King Ming puts all his heart on His Highness, he will guard against all the people who are friendly with His Highness, but there should be no King Dun here."

Although it was said that when the disaster relief was rewarded for meritorious deeds, Pei Yao pushed King Dun and asked him to be crowned king together with King Ming.

But in the eyes of outsiders, it's just that Pei Yao doesn't want King Ming to dominate alone.

Later, Princess Dun's father was promoted from the servant of the household department to the position of the minister of the household department. From outsiders' perspective, it was because of Pei Yao's defeat in the battle with King Ming that he picked it up.

For so many years, King Dun has been unknown and rarely participated in the political affairs of the court. The matter of going north to help disaster relief has long been forgotten by others, and since then, he has never been involved with Pei Yao or King Ming, which is really inconspicuous.

But Fang Yun knew a little about his relationship with Pei Yao in private.

So at this time, King Dun was mentioned, and Pei Yao was also reminded.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Liu Qin.

"Maybe you go to the city to deliver a message for Gu?"

"Yes! There are horses at home, so it won't take long."

Liu Qin nodded heavily.

Then Pei Yao beckoned him to approach, and whispered something in his ear.

After a while, Liu Qin explained to his parents, then quickly rode away again.

Pei Yao's face was solemn, and he couldn't help but tighten Fang Yun's hand.

Now, he is also a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so he can only pin his hopes on Liu Qin, a young man who has never met before.

"Your Highness, don't worry." Fang Yun felt his emotions, and gently held his hand back, "No matter what, I will definitely be by Your Highness's side."

It has to be said that the present Fang Jun is the only person Pei Yao can rely on and trust at the moment, and a feeling of sharing the same adversity is born in his heart.

Nodding slightly, she also pulled Fang Yun closer, "Well, Gu Ye will definitely protect you and the child."

Don't talk about love, women are his women, and children are his children. Pei Yao feels that as a husband and a man, this is his responsibility.

After resting for a while, there was a slight sound of dishes clashing outside the door.

Then I heard the gentle voice of Liu's sister-in-law, "My lord, madam, the food is ready. My lord is injured and can't get out of bed. I'll bring it in for you."
