Chapter 32: The Sorrowful Prince

The crooked neck tree that almost strangled the last emperor of the Ming Empire finally fell to the ground unwillingly under the ravages of two mad AKM fanatics, and by the way, he almost slapped Liu Hong, who took saving the Ming Dynasty as his own responsibility, to death.

The frightened Liu Hong gradually got up from the ground and patted the soil on his buttocks.

"Master, are you alright?" I saw that he was concerned, and he was still holding the smoking AKM with the muzzle of the gun in his arms, and stretched out a tiger paw and hit Liu Hongji's ass twice, in the name of helping the old man beat the dust.

"Uncle, what a skill!" The person who spoke like this was Cao Wentai, who had just finished shooting the bullet and had a shy face, thinking about how to find an excuse to order the bullet again.

Liu Hong's face turned dark, what kind of birdman is this?

It's just a big stick mallet, usually with such thick lines, but this Cao Wentai rarely said anything when he first saw him, and he looked cold, now it seems that he is not a sullen man, Liu Hong gradually slandered in his heart.

"You two, you must knock down two more crooked neck trees for Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will ...... I'll go to the emperor and accuse you of murdering this official! Liu Hongjian took out two boxes of bullets from the ring, threw them on the ground, and said with a depressed face.

Yes? Hit the tree, hit the tree! Why do you have to find a crooked neck tree? Could it be that the adults have a grudge against the crooked neck tree? The two of them picked up the bullet from the ground with a suspicious stomach and began to search for the next hapless tree with crooked necks.

Liu Hong, who was bored, gradually became irritable when he looked at the two excited birdmen, and decided to go around the palace to see if he could meet a beautiful little palace daughter to improve his depressed mood.

In front of the palace gate, he checked the waist card and entered the palace, Liu Hong gradually wandered around, thinking of going to the Emperor Chongzhen to chat, but when he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, there was no trace of Chongzhen.

Liu Hongjian had just walked out of the Qianqing Palace, and suddenly heard the cry of a little girl, and looked slowly, only to see the little Princess Zhaoren squatting under a pine tree rubbing her eyes and crying, making the two little palace maids anxious.

"Your Highness? What's the matter, crying again, could it be that there are still people in this palace who dare to bully you? Seeing this, Liu Hong hurriedly walked over and squatted down to comfort him.

Seeing that Princess Zhaoren was just rubbing her eyes and crying, not birding him at all, Liu Hong gradually reached into his arms, took out an Alpine lollipop from the ring and handed it to the little Princess Zhaoren.

Princess Zhaoren subconsciously received it in her hand and raised her eyes to look at Liu Hongji.

"What is this? Hey? It's you? The voice was crisp and immature, and Princess Zhaoren immediately recognized the person in front of her, wasn't it the interesting uncle who helped her out a few days ago?

God is pitiful, if Liu Hong gradually knew that he was an uncle in the eyes of the little princess, would he cry and faint in the toilet.

"I know you, you are a red man in front of your father! After that time, I secretly inquired about you with the imperial brother and sister, your name is Liu Hongji, right? ”

Sure enough, he is a royal person, and he has such a high political intuition at such a young age, Liu Hongjian nodded and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes for His Royal Highness, and said secretly.

"Liu Hongchuan, can you go and save my imperial brother? They were punished by the queen mother to kneel until dark! ”

Remembering that Liu Hongjian pleaded for her last time, even her father, who scared people every day with a straight face, held back her anger, Princess Zhaoren suddenly burst into tears and laughed, thinking that she had found a savior, and a small hand grabbed the corner of Liu Hongji's clothes and refused to let go.

Liu Hongjian didn't say a word, helped Princess Zhaoren tear the outer packaging of the lollipop, and then motioned for her to put it in her mouth, and Princess Zhaoren did as she was told.

"Is it sweet?" Liu Hong gradually smiled, a little spoiled.

"Sweet! It's delicious! Princess Zhaoren's crescent-like eyes narrowed slightly, and Liu Hong gradually smiled.

A gust of spring breeze stroked and blew away the playful green silk of His Royal Highness, revealing a tender and lovely smiling face.

Seeing that Princess Zhaoren finally burst into tears and laughed, Liu Hong gradually became more relaxed, the suffering of a country should not be borne by children, and the troubles of adults should not affect them.

For the little princess in front of her, the most precious thing should be this carefree smile.

Liu Hong gradually picked up His Royal Highness regardless of the huge gap in identity behind him, and asked her why she was crying as he walked.

Princess Zhaoren hooked one small hand around Liu Hongji's neck to stabilize her body, and with the other small hand, she pulled out a lollipop from her mouth and told Liu Hongjian what had happened.

It turned out that the crown prince Zhu Cixiong (lang) and the king of Ding, Zhu Cijiong, went to greet Queen Zhou with Princess Zhaoren after the feast, Queen Zhou happened to be absent, Zhu Cijiong proposed to play hide and seek, Zhu Cixiong felt that it was unseemly, but he couldn't resist Princess Zhaoren's plea and had to agree.

Zhu Cijiong asked Zhaoren to hide in an open porcelain vase, and also put the glass mirror given by Chongzhen to Empress Zhou on the vase, Zhaoren didn't pay attention to breaking the glass, and the Empress Zhou who came back from going out was furious.

reprimanded Zhu Cihong, as the crown prince, for not thinking about the difficulties of the country, only knowing how to have fun, and punished him for kneeling and reflecting.

Liu Honggradually replied that what is the matter, won't he just play hide and seek? I stole watermelons when I was a teenager! People don't toss their youth in vain.

Kunning Palace is located in the north of Qianqing Palace, the two arrived in a moment, Liu Hong gradually put down Zhaoren in his arms, took his hand and entered Kunning Palace.

Queen Zhou was in her early thirties, sitting on the jade throne in a cloth dress, her face was already vaguely wrinkled, the crown prince Zhu Cihong bowed her head and knelt in front of the stage, and there was a young man dressed as a prince standing behind the left side of the room, presumably it was Zhu Cijiong, the king of Ding.

Zhu Cijiong tilted his head and glanced at Liu Hongjian who walked in, and then at Zhaoren beside Liu Hongji, with a puzzled face.

"Weichen Liu Hong gradually knocked to see the queen!" There should be a lot of courtesy.

"You are An Guobo, who was personally crowned by the emperor?" Queen Zhou glared at Zhaoren, so frightened that Zhaoren hurriedly hid behind Liu Hongji, and then listened to Liu Hongjian report his home, and his originally slightly angry face was suddenly a little surprised.

"It's Wechen!" Liu Hong gradually responded.

"Hurry up, please! Come on, take a seat! As the mother of a country, Queen Zhou was very grateful to the pillar of the country, and was surprised by Liu Hong's youth, while beckoning the palace maids waiting outside to bring a stool.

"Queen Mother, Wechen came this time, I had the courage to intercede for His Royal Highness the Prince, Wechen thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was young after all, and he was a little playful, and he must have repented after kneeling for so long, and asked the Queen Mother to calm her anger and bypass His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Liu Hong gradually glanced at the crown prince Zhu Cihong, and sincerely pleaded with Queen Zhou.

Zhu Cihong was also busy saying that he had already realized his mistake and asked his mother for forgiveness.

Seeing that the emperor said that the pillars of talent pleaded for the prince, Queen Zhou, as the prince's biological mother, had long lost her previous anger, and just took advantage of the steps to count a few words of Zhu Cihong and let him go.

When Zhu Cihong left, he bent down to Liu Hong to show his gratitude, Liu Hong hurriedly turned sideways to dodge, and he couldn't afford the gift of the prince of the country.

When turning sideways, Liu Hongjian happened to see Zhu Cijiong in the rear, Zhu Cijiong's eyes were cloudy, staring at Liu Hongjiong, full of stubborn resentment, his carefully planned plan, because of the person in front of him and failed, how could he not hate.

Liu Hong gradually seemed to understand something from Zhu Cijiong's eyes, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, since ancient times, the royal family has fought a lot, born in the royal family, since he was a child, he has lived in this intriguing environment, and he will fall into the abyss if he is not careful, even if he is a brother, it is no exception.
