Leading the great eunuch Tong Xian and the other two little eunuchs, the Great Wei Tianzi came all the way to his son Zhao Hongrun's residence under the guidance of Shen Yu and other Zongwei.

During this period, Wei Tianzi's eyes swept around from time to time, hoping to see some clues, after all, according to the report of the eunuch of the inner chamberlain, when his son Zhao Hongrun and his party returned to the palace, Princess Yulong, who was dressed as a man, seemed to be in the team.

Therefore, Wei Tianzi suspected that Princess Yulong was hiding in this Wenzhao Pavilion, but as for where she was hiding, he had not yet discovered it.

"Your Majesty, please."

Shen Yu respectfully pushed open the door of the dormitory.

Wei Tianzi nodded, raised his feet and stepped into the bedroom, he bypassed the oncoming screen and walked to the bed.

Because of the direction of the bed, the weak voice of his son Zhao Hongrun came.

"Is it Father? The emperor asks his father for peace......"

As he spoke, a figure behind the curtain of the bed was ready to sit up.

Wei Tianzi secretly sneered in his heart, and deliberately didn't open his mouth to stop him, because he knew that this son was pretending to be nine times out of ten, and he was going to see how he lied and how to ask him for peace.

Unexpectedly, the figure behind the gauze curtain struggled a few times, and suddenly fell back on the bed: "Father, don't blame, the emperor is really ...... I couldn't move. ”

"This!"

Wei Tianzi couldn't cry or laugh, and also pretended to cooperate: "Hongrun, you are so sick, don't get up, your father won't blame you." ”

This scene, Shen Yu and the others looked at it in their eyes and felt very awkward: it was really father and son, and they were really enough.

Tong Xian moved a stool and placed it next to the bed, and seeing this, Wei Tianzi sat down on the stool.

Because there are no outsiders in the house, because Wei Tianzi doesn't have to hide it.

He lowered his voice and asked directly, "Hongrun, where is Yulong?" ”

Princess Yulong, who was hiding in the futon, heard his father's question, and was so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe.

"Sister Yulong?" Zhao Hongrun pretended to be weak and said: "The emperor doesn't know. ”

"I don't know?" Wei Tianzi narrowed his eyes and said with a little anger: "Apart from you, who else in this palace dares to be so bold and abduct the princess out of the palace?" …… Where's she?! ”

"Now that she is out of the palace, how does the emperor know where the imperial sister Yulong is? …… Perhaps, he fled to the state of Chu! His words were full of sarcasm.

"Sure enough, Hongrun got it...... Who sent him the letter? It stands to reason that I have given a stern warning, and the people in the inner prison will not dare to reveal it, so how can this news reach the ears of this bad son?"

Wei Tianzi ignored the sarcasm in his son's words and calmly stated the facts: "Really? But I heard that you just brought Yulong back to the palace again...... Where is she? ”

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Hongrun's weak voice was a little surprised: "The emperor doesn't know. ”

"Don't know?" Wei Tianzi sneered twice, and said in a deep voice, "Do you dare to let me search your Wenzhao Pavilion?!" ”

Zhao Hongrun's tone did not change at all when he heard this: "Father and Emperor are searching." ”

"Good!" Wei Tianzi immediately turned his head and said to the two little eunuchs behind Tong Xian: "Call in the guards outside the palace and thoroughly search Wenzhao Pavilion!" ”

"Yes." The little eunuch bowed away.

This time, Shen Yu didn't stop it, after all, it was promised by their Highness.

From the voices outside, it could be heard that the dozens of guards had entered the hall and began to thoroughly inspect the entire Wenzhao Pavilion.

And during their search, Wei Tianzi closed his eyes and waited for the results, and did not communicate with Zhao Hongrun on the bed.

Anyway, there's nothing to talk about, this kid is just pretending to be sick.

But after waiting for more than half an hour, the results of the search by the guards made Wei Tianzi a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, the Wenzhao Pavilion has been searched up and down, and there is no trace of Princess Yulong." Several of the Praetorian guards who came to report said truthfully.

"What? Nope?'

A hint of surprise flashed in Wei Tianzi's eyes.

"How could it not be? As soon as this inferior son arrived at Wenzhao Pavilion, the people of the inner chamberlain were watching around, and it was absolutely impossible for Yulong to sneak out again, how could he not find it?"

"Searched everywhere?"

"Yes, the Wenzhao Pavilion has been searched up and down, except for ......" The guard showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and pointed to his feet vaguely.

"Search!" Wei Tianzi said in a deep voice.

Immediately, more than a dozen guards walked in, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to search for the traces of Princess Yulong.

During this period, Wei Tianzi couldn't help but walk back and forth, looking around with suspicious eyes.

"How could it not be? This inferior son is so calm, as if Yulong is within his control, and besides, there are people from the inner chamberlain to monitor this Wenzhao Pavilion, and it is absolutely impossible for this inferior son to transfer Yulong to another place in such a short period of time...... Wait! Why is this son of a bad man pretending to be sick?'

As if thinking of something, Wei Tianzi took a few steps, approached the bed, and pulled open the curtain on the bed.

Yes, there is still a place to hide people!

But to Wei Tianzi's surprise, his son Zhao Hongrun had already sat on the bed at some point, and what was even more incredible was that this bad son was still smiling at him, and that smile seemed to reveal a message: Ah, you found it.

"Does my father suspect that the emperor hid Sister Yulong on the bed?" Zhao Hongrun heartlessly exposed the speculation in the heart of the Son of Heaven, and was so frightened that Princess Yulong in the futon didn't dare to move, trembling.

"Father, do you want to take a look? Let's see if the imperial sister Yulong is hiding on the emperor's couch as her father guessed? Zhao Hongrun raised a small corner, but his eyes glanced at the guards in the dormitory, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Good boy!"

On the one hand, Wei Tianzi was shocked and angry, and on the other hand, he was moved by his son's scheming.

At this moment, he was very sure that Princess Yulong was on his son's bed, hiding under the thick futon, but the question was, could he really lift the futon and pull Princess Yulong out?

A dignified prince, sleeping with the princess, this will definitely be a shocking court scandal.

Although Wei Tianzi could make those guards silence, what if even so, it still spread out?

Do you want to kill all these guards?

For what reason?

Indiscriminate killing of innocents without any reason?

Wei Tianzi still hopes that he can leave a good reputation and become a Taoist monarch admired by future generations, rather than a tyrannical king!

What's more, in Wei Tianzi's view, since this son has used this kind of trick that "will hurt himself", it means that as long as he lifts the futon, it will undoubtedly be a situation where the fish is dead and the net is broken.

For an insignificant Princess Yulong, is it really worth it to change to a prince who will definitely become the pillar of the Great Wei Dynasty in the future?

"......" Wei Tianzi held back his anger and glared at Zhao Hongrun.

The Son of Heaven was not only angry that his son used this kind of trick to persecute him, but also angry that this inferior son even disregarded his own reputation at all and wanted to protect Yulong.

"......" and Zhao Hongrun looked back at Wei Tianzi lightly.

Yes, he was gambling, betting that his father would never make the situation irreparable at this time, in front of idle people and others.

The father and son looked at each other for a while, and suddenly the Son of Heaven laughed.

"Hehehahahahaha-"

"That's it, as long as Yulong is still in Wenzhao Pavilion, it's enough, there's no need to tear your face with this bad guy, it's hard to end up...... As long as the people in the inner prison keep an eye on Wen Zhaoge at all times, Yulong will definitely not be able to escape."

As Zhao Hongrun expected, Wei Tianzi, the superior person, finally chose to compromise rationally after realizing that Princess Yulong was in Wenzhao Pavilion at the moment, under his nose.

"If you can't find Yulong, then you can't find it, maybe as the emperor said, she doesn't know where to flee...... The emperor was infected with the wind chill and had a good rest. In the past few days, don't leave the palace. "The Son of Heaven has grounded Zhao Hongrun in disguise.

After all, as long as Zhao Hongrun can't get out of the palace, Princess Yulong will definitely not be able to escape from the palace.

Since Yulong couldn't escape from the palace, everything was still under Wei Tianzi's control.

Therefore, there is really no need to end badly.

However, Zhao Hongrun is not a vegetarian either, and seeing that Wei Tianzi was about to leave, he said with a smile: "Isn't my father searching carefully?" Maybe the Yulong Imperial Sister is in my Wenzhao Pavilion. …… Father should search carefully, search thoroughly, the emperor doesn't want to be searched by the guards twice in three days. In other words, my father has seen everything and has concluded that Sister Yulong is not in my Wenzhao Pavilion. ”

『……』

Wei Tianzi frowned when he heard this, he realized that if he gave up pulling Princess Yulong out of Zhao Hongrun's bed today, then in the future, I am afraid there would be no chance to search Wenzhao Pavilion openly.

Of course, if Princess Yulong ran out of Wenzhao Pavilion by herself and was captured by the inner guards or guards, then it would be a different matter.

Otherwise, if Wei Tianzi leaves today, he will sit down in disguise to confirm the matter of 'Yulong is not in Wenzhao Pavilion', and no one can talk about this matter, or use this as an excuse to search Wenzhao Pavilion.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of Wei Tianzi?

"Hehehe!" Wei Tianzi laughed twice, and suddenly bent down and whispered to his son: "You are ruthless, but how long can you protect her?" …… Will she hide in this Wenzhao Pavilion for the rest of her life? ”

After saying that, Wei Tianzi took a deep look at the futon on the bed, shook the dragon robe, and left with his hands behind his back as if nothing had happened.

As soon as the Son of Heaven left, the eunuchs and guards also left.

"Whew-"

Princess Yulong came out of the bed, and her little face was flushed and fluttering with sweat from the heat, which was very tempting.

"Hongrun, you are really amazing, you really made my father retreat...... Anyway, when you said you were going to lift the futon, it scared me to death......"

Zhao Hongrun didn't have the heart to appreciate Princess Yulong's beauty at the moment, and there was no joy of victory on his face.

Yes, the Son of Heaven is right, just like this, although it can also make Princess Yulong escape the fate of being married to the Chu State, but the price is too great.

The first is that he was grounded, which means that he can't leave the palace again, and naturally, he can't take Princess Yulong out of the palace again.

In other words, unless Princess Yulong stays in his Wenzhao Pavilion for the rest of her life, Wei Tianzi, who has left a mustard in his heart after today's events, will definitely marry her to another country once he has the opportunity to catch Princess Yulong in the future.

This is not a complete change in Princess Yulong's situation.

"It seems that the only way to do this is to find an opportunity to have a frank and detailed discussion with my father, and completely dispel my father's idea of marrying Yulong to another country......

That night, Zhao Hongrun gave up his bedroom to Princess Yulong, and sat alone in the front hall thinking silently.

"Lack of a suitable opportunity......"

He let out a long sigh and rubbed his head wearily.

"But then again, why did my father choose to sacrifice Yulong? Strange ......"

Zhao Hongrun's eyes showed a little doubt.
