Chapter 20 Return to the North PART 2
Seeing that the time was almost up, Shen Wen was just about to leave when a group of people in the distance surrounded the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince was obviously drunk and said with a smile, "..... Father is simply brilliant ...... You didn't see the look on Zhenbei Hou's face ...... It's really funny! ......"
Shen Wen couldn't hold back anymore, so she closed her eyes and flicked the Yangling point on the Crown Prince's right leg with her psychic ability. One of the prince's legs weakened and he fell to the ground. As the people beside him were about to help him, Shen Wen touched the middle point of the Crown Prince's other knee.
The Crown Prince first felt a sudden numbness in one knee, and his weight naturally shifted to the other side. Then he felt a sour sensation behind the knee of another leg, and the numbness spread to the calf. Even though someone was pulling him, he still fell heavily to the ground. His knees hit the ground as if he were kneeling. His sleeves "tore" and a tear was ripped at the seam.
Everyone was shocked at first, but then they said with a smile: "Your Highness is drunk!" They helped the Crown Prince up with all their hands, and one of them said: "Let's go and rest!"
The Crown Prince cried out anxiously: "No! Go... to the study! Otherwise... I won't be able to sleep..."
Several people helped him into the courtyard.
As she watched the Crown Prince kneel down, Shen Wen said in the distance, "This is a way to sober you up. From now on, no matter how many mistakes you make, you will be punished for your sins! Your subordinates and patrons will be uprooted with you. Even your father, who is revered as an emperor, will not be spared. You must continue this journey of destruction, and don't let me down.
Thinking about this, Shen Wen took a deep breath before turning around and running back to the high wall. As she climbed up the wall, a figure leaning against it whispered: "You...are really here! You...wait..."
As soon as Shen Wen's body stopped, she heard the voice sound slightly familiar, so she didn't dare to speak. She jumped off the wall and ran away without turning her head. The people on the wall said "Hey" in dissatisfaction.
When she was almost on her way to the Hou Mansion, Shen Wen vaguely felt that the voice sounded a bit like Zhang Yunming's. This person was obviously waiting for her there, but he was definitely not from the Crown Prince. He was probably a very curious person. Shen Wen knew that the other party would never be able to catch up with her and would not know who she was. She did not want to hurt the other party, so she had to ignore him again and again, otherwise she would be more likely to expose herself when she went back to convince the other party.
The Crown Prince sat drunkenly in his study, which had become a habit for him. If he did not sit here every day to talk with his staff and discuss various matters, he felt that the day had not passed satisfactorily. No matter how important the day was, whether it was a wedding or a canonization ceremony, at the end of the day, he still had to go to the study and talk with these confidants.
The Crown Prince had just fallen to the ground and felt very unhappy: kneeling was a sign of surrender, symbolising the loss of the master's position; the sleeves were torn at the shoulders, symbolising damaged wings. Coupled with the pain in his knee from the fall, he suddenly felt depressed, and the smile that had just appeared on his face turned into a gloomy mood.
Seeing the Crown Prince's displeasure, an aide hurriedly said: "Your Highness, are you worried about the fall? Your Highness need not worry. Before the roc spreads its wings, it must squat down and soar straight up into the sky. Your Highness is a great Roc, obviously you should hold back first and then expand, and you will definitely achieve great things in the future. The sleeve is torn open to show that the old is gone and the new is coming, indicating that His Highness must recruit a large number of staff and subordinates to provide abundant support. "
The Crown Prince lowered his eyebrows and nodded, "That makes sense." He then asked, "Has there been any movement in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion lately? That..." He snorted disdainfully.
Someone replied: "Our people have been bought by the Marquis of Zhenbei. It was the second young lady who wanted her just like she wanted Su Wanniang. As soon as she heard about her dismal life experience, she softened her heart and accepted the person. This shows that Su Wanniang's incident was definitely a coincidence. Our people said that the second young lady was despised by her brothers and sisters at home, and they scolded her for being ignorant. All she knew how to do was cry and whine. In the courtyard, she always listens to Su Wanniang, and her own nanny is under Su Wanniang's control, so it's said that she was raised in vain and is a complete idiot.”
The Crown Prince sneered, and the attendant continued: "Marquis Zhenbei is still the same as before. He kept telling the children to practice martial arts and study hard, and he did not contact the military official in the capital. His wife has started to pack these days and she never interacts with other families."
The Crown Prince nodded, "The more honest he is, the less trouble there will be."
Everyone agreed, although they were not sure what kind of trouble the Crown Prince could cause Zhenbei Hou.
The day after the ceremony, the old Taoist priest sat cross-legged on a tree stump in the forest. He raised his hands and counted over and over again. Not far away, a young boy was running and jumping in the forest. The old Taoist priest frowned at the child and said, "I couldn't see the sky last night because of your fever. Even if I calculate it now, I still can't believe it.
The child didn't hear him and continued to play by himself. The old Taoist sighed, "I thought you were a psychic at first, but even now, after I adopted you, I still haven't noticed it!
The child ran over and said with a smile: "Master, look at this bug!"
The old Taoist looked intently into the child's eyes: "Do you feel anything? The new crown prince's dragon energy is weak, his fate is unclear, and the country's fate is in chaos? There is a power that defies heaven..."
The child was surprised: "This beetle has so many uses?"
The old Taoist waved his hand, "Go play, let's play! I'll do the math again..."
That morning, the sky in the capital was clear and cloudless. The Third Prince entered Chen Guifei's palace. Chen Guifei smiled softly as usual and spoke softly and slowly, "Huang'er is here? How are you these days?"
The Third Prince took a few steps forward, and after greeting Chen Guifei, he said, "The sun is beautiful today, can the child take Mufei for a walk in the garden?
Chen Guifei smiled and nodded her head. The Third Prince immediately supported Chen Guifei's arm and slowly walked out of the door. He led Chen Guifei to walk among the fallen autumn flowers, far away from the palaces and eunuchs, and then with a smile on his face, but an anxious tone in his voice, he asked in a low voice, "Mufei, what's about the note from last time? Look, you asked me to go back first. What do you have in mind? "
Looking at the withering branches, Chen Guifei sighed and said quietly: "Actually, it doesn't matter if I go, I'm really bored..." The smile on her face did not change, but her voice sounded tired and her tone was cold. ...
The Third Prince was startled and stopped to look at Chen Guifei. In his eyes, his mother's beautiful face always had a smile as warm as the spring breeze, and her words often contained warmth and enthusiasm. But now, there seemed to be no trace of Chen Guifei in her eyes. A lifeless woman who is not yet thirty years old, but looks like a woman in her forties or fifties.
