Cameron's Royal Binding Chapter 10

"The Yulin Army dragged Geng Zhuo down this morning and didn't put him back at all. The emperor asked someone to ask him if he knew he was wrong. For some reason, he was sentenced to prison." Cai Yi touched his forehead. sweat, anxious.

The so-called imperial edict is a place where edicts are issued directly to imprison people without going through Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment.

Elliot Xiao sat down behind the desk and said in a deep voice: "Is there anyone who can write to me to plead for mercy?"

"Many people have submitted memorials, but the emperor has thrown them aside and not even looked at them," Cai Yi said anxiously, "The palace gates have been locked, and the left prime minister was stopped from coming in to plead for mercy."

Today's imperial prison is the sphere of influence of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Today, Geng Zhuo has offended Shen Lian. How can there be any good fruits to eat after entering there? It can be said that Yan Guan is the one who guides the king's behavior. Even the grumpy Taizu never laid a finger on Yan Guan. If the censor makes any mistake today, I am afraid it will anger all the officials and the consequences will be disastrous.

Elliot Xiao was silent for a moment, sighed slowly, and stood up, "I'm going to see my father." As the crown prince of the country, he must advise his father on major matters of right and wrong.

"It would be most appropriate for you to go see the Emperor," Cai Yi also calmed down, "but the Emperor is still angry, so please don't get yourself into trouble."

Elliot Xiao took a deep look at Zhan Shi, the young master of Zhan Shifu, who was in his early thirties, and nodded slowly. Although Cai Yi has a short temper, he has an extremely accurate view of the pros and cons of things. He really couldn't persuade him too much, otherwise he would definitely be jealous of his father.

"My Lady Princess, the Crown Prince asked you to eat first and there is no need to wait." Chang En had the food placed outside the Eight Phoenix Hall and came in to report.

"Got it." Cameron Lou waved his hand, climbed up from the bed, sat at the dining table and picked up the bowl. Thinking of the small spoon Elliot Xiao gave him at noon, he felt bad.

"His Highness's sedan chair has left the East Palace. I heard that he is going to meet the Emperor." Le Xian, who was standing aside serving food, whispered.

Cameron Lou glanced at the smiling Le Xian. This young eunuch not only looked festive, but also quite smart. "Tell the kitchen to heat up the porridge for when the prince comes back."

"Yes!" Le Xian happily agreed. The princess began to tell him what to do, and she was ready to use him. As long as she performed well, she would be the deputy general manager in the future when the princess took charge of the affairs of the East Palace.

Elliot Xiao first went to Panlong Palace, the emperor's bedroom, and learned that Emperor Chunde was not in the palace, but had gone to Luanyi Palace. He went to the harem so early? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince frowned. He could go to the harem, but Chen Guifei honestly didn't want to go there, because no matter what he tried to persuade his father, Chen Guifei would definitely say something unfavorable to him.

"You go to Luanyi Palace to report that I have something important to see my father." After sending Anshun to report, Elliot Xiao instructed the chariot to turn to the imperial study. It is better to discuss important national affairs in the study room.

The Imperial Study Room is not far from Panlong Palace. At this time, the lights have started to be lit. The lights are bright inside, but there is no one there.

Elliot Xiao walked in, looked at the pile of memorials piled on the desk, and sighed softly.

On the wall behind the dragon-carved wooden chair, there is also an inscription written by the late Emperor Ruizhong - Diligent in politics and loyal to principles. The late emperor was benevolent and never used imperial prisons in his more than 40 years of reign. Anyone who was guilty could only be imprisoned if there was conclusive evidence. However, during the ten years of Emperor Chunde's reign, no fewer than ten ministers died in imperial prisons alone. number.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Emperor Xuan, will go to Luanyi Palace to meet the Holy Spirit." The gentle and smiling voice belonged to Huaizhong, the eunuch beside Emperor Chunde.

Elliot Xiao, who was standing with his hands behind his hands, turned around and glanced at Huaizhong, who was always smiling. He sighed secretly in his heart. At least his father knew how to ask the big eunuch to call him and didn't just ask the little eunuch to run errands. Thinking like this, a sense of sadness arose in his heart, "Let's go." Without further words, he walked out of the imperial study room first.

The Luanyi Palace had just been renovated in the spring. It looked magnificent from a distance and was even more luxurious than the Fengyi Palace.

Emperor Chunde met the prince in the main hall of Luanyi Palace. "What's the matter?" It was obvious that they had just had dinner, and the palace maid served him hot tea to drink after the meal.

"Father, your son has heard that the Censor Geng Zhuo..." Elliot Xiao was interrupted by a cold snort from Emperor Chunde before he could finish his sentence.

"Humph, he spoke rudely to me. Can it be that I cannot punish a mere third-rank minister?" Emperor Chunde had obviously read the memorials in the imperial study.

"Father," Elliot Xiao took a deep breath and tried his best to speak in a gentle tone, "the censor is also a minister, so the father will naturally be punished, but the officials have always been outspoken, so don't argue with it."

"I didn't bother with him," Emperor Chunde knocked the cup on the table, "As long as he admits his mistake, this matter will be over. If he doesn't admit his mistake, do you want me to admit it to him?"

"In the third year of Jianyuan, Taizu went to the night pool to have fun. Zhang Shuo, the imperial censor, broke into the palace and stood by the night pool and cursed for an hour. After listening to it naked in the night pool, Taizu rewarded him with ten pieces of brocade. Taizu said, 'Don't be afraid of the censor, be afraid of the history books.'" Elliot Xiao's tone was still calm and steady, "Father, the censor may not be right, but if the father punishes the censor, the history books will speak ill of the father. "

After this long speech, the prince did not kneel down to beg the emperor to reconsider, but just stood there with his back bowed, as if he was just making a suggestion.

Emperor Chunde was silent for a long time, "That's all, I will release Geng Zhuo tomorrow."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Elliot Xiao then knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Chunde.

Cameron Lou waited for the prince for two hours, but he didn't come back. He rolled around on the large bed in boredom, and suddenly saw the treasure box embedded in the wall. It was here that Elliot Xiao took the medicine yesterday. I wonder what else is in it?

The Duobao grid on the bed is not large. There are nine small grids scattered here and there, three of which have small doors with red lacquer carvings. In the doorless grid, there are some jade carvings to ward off evil spirits. The bases are embedded to prevent them from falling and hitting people at night.

After all, this is his room, so he can look around. Cameron Lou sat up and opened a small cabinet door with great interest. Inside were several small black lacquer boxes with plum blossom patterns carved on them. He picked one up and played with it in his hand. This thing is really useful for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It would be better to take this with him when he goes to the battlefield in the future.

After putting down the small box, he opened another cabinet door. There seemed to be nothing inside. Cameron Lou reached in and touched it, and then he found that it was not empty. There was just a book lying flat on it. The grid was bigger than it looked from the outside, and it was concave at the bottom. The book was placed at the bottom. From the outside, it looked like there was nothing inside. This was strange. Who would put books like this?

He took out the book casually. It had a blue cover with the words "Yang Palace" written on it in a rather fancy font. Cameron Lou didn't understand what it meant. He turned a page and his eyes widened. It was not an account book or a secret history, but a painting of two men sketched with a fine wolf-hair brush...

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and His Royal Highness came back.

Cameron Lou closed the book slowly, put it back in the grid, and closed the cabinet door.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" The moon was already high in the sky, and Elliot Xiao thought that the Crown Princess had already gone to sleep. He wanted to go back to Chongren Hall, but he felt that not staying with the principal wife on the second day of his wedding would be disadvantageous to Cameron Lou, so he came back. Unexpectedly, this person was sitting on the bed waiting for him with great energy.

"Princess, the porridge is ready." Before Cameron Lou could speak, Le Xian's voice sounded outside the door.

Cameron Lou curled her lips, this little eunuch is really good at doing things, "Bring it in."

Le Xian placed a bowl of red date porridge and a plate of side dishes on the tea table in the inner room and bowed out.

"How do you know I didn't eat?" Elliot Xiao looked at the food on the table and felt warm in his heart.

"Your Highness must have been in such a hurry that you didn't have time to eat," Cameron Lou smiled as he got out of bed and raised his hand to help the Crown Prince take off the silver crown on his head, "Go take a bath quickly."

After taking a bath, the hot porridge is just right for you to eat. It is already late, and eating too much will cause indigestion, but if you don’t eat, you will definitely be hungry at night. Drinking this bowl of porridge is just right.

Elliot Xiao's originally heavy heart was relieved by this bowl of porridge.

"Come back tomorrow, you should go to bed early." His Royal Highness climbed onto the bed, looking at Cameron Lou who still looked bad, feeling a little sorry.

"I'm waiting for His Highness to apply medicine on me." Cameron Lou smiled and took out the unused box of "Eliminating Accumulation and Blood Stasis Ointment" and stuffed it into Elliot Xiao's hand.

Seeing the box with plum blossom pattern, Elliot Xiao felt a little embarrassed, "Do you still want to use this medicine?"

Cameron Lou chuckled, took off his underwear and lay down, "I have never seen a better ointment than this. Since it can heal injuries, who cares what it was originally used for."

Elliot Xiao hesitated for a moment, but still opened the lid. This medicine was indeed more useful than ordinary wound medicine. Moreover, using this would not arouse suspicion and would save a lot of trouble. He ran his fingers with the ointment across the red and purple back. It did look better than last night. If it continued like this, it should be healed in a few days.

After returning home three times, there was still a lot to do tomorrow. The two of them applied medicine, washed their hands, blew out the lamp and had a rest.

Cameron Lou had an injury on his back and had been sleeping on his stomach for half a month. His neck hurt every day. Today, he really didn't want to sleep on his stomach anymore, so he lay down on his side. Only then did he realize that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still had his eyes open, staring straight at the ceiling of the bed.

Elliot Xiao was actually very worried about leaving Geng Zhuo in the imperial prison for one night, but this was all he could do.

"Can't sleep?" Cameron Lou propped up his head with one hand and leaned over to look at him, "Don't worry, your father-in-law won't make things difficult for you. He still has to kowtow to his son...son-in-law." He originally wanted to talk about his daughter-in-law, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so serious that he might annoy her. It's better to be honest. He, Cameron Lou, always knows how to deal with things.

Elliot Xiao turned to look at him, "Why did your father beat you?"

"Your Highness, if you ask this now, are you trying to punish me?" Cameron Lou came closer and gave His Highness the Crown Prince a look of fear. Donovan Lou hit him, wasn't it because he didn't want to marry the Crown Prince.

"I won't punish you," Elliot Xiao said helplessly, "I'm just curious why Duke Anguo agreed to marry you to me. In fact, as long as he doesn't want to, my father will just go with the flow and change someone else."

The smile on Cameron Lou's face immediately froze.
