But what he wants is more than this, what he wants is the complete dependence and trust of the young man, and even more.
In this case, he must show enough patience and sincerity to let Rong Zhuo accept him again.
Yu Jingdu turned over and took out the handkerchief that Rong Zhuo later gave him from his close-fitting pocket. The handkerchief contained two peace talismans. When he was in a coma, the two peace talismans followed him.
He looked at the two peace talismans in his hand, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
Isn't Rong Zhuo afraid of him now? Then what he has to do is to convince the other party that even if he becomes the King of Yan, it is no different from the past.
"Li Feng!" Yu Jingdu rolled over and got out of bed, calling towards the side hall.
Li Feng didn't sleep properly, and soon he heard his movements, and hurried over without his robes on.
"Your Highness?" Li Feng looked blank.
"Look for someone to check whether the people in the East Palace are staring at Duan Mansion and Rong Mansion." Yu Jingdu said.
"Our people have been staring at it. Recently, the Duan Mansion and the Rong Mansion are very clean, and there are no suspicious people." Li Feng said.
Yu Jingdu had sent people to pay attention to the Rong Mansion and Duan Mansion earlier. First, to protect the safety of Rong Zhuo's mother and uncle's house, and second, to be on guard against the prince's actions. But these trivial things, Li Feng will not report to him in detail.
"That's good." Yu Jingdu said again: "Is the disguise mask that this king and Rong Zhuo used at Jiang Jiyan's place in the mansion?"
"Jiang Shaoqing had someone sent over earlier, saying that he was afraid that His Highness would use it on a whim." Li Feng said.
Yu Jingdu nodded, "Go back to sleep, and send a letter for this king tomorrow morning."
After he finished speaking, he gave Li Feng careful instructions.
The next morning.
Rong Zhuo was called away by Li Feng after breakfast.
"General Li, is your Highness looking for me for something?" Rong Zhuo asked nervously.
"You'll know when Young Master Rong goes." Li Feng betrayed him.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Rong Zhuo followed Li Feng to Yu Jingdu's bedroom.
But after he went in, he didn't see Yu Jingdu, only a strange man in the hall.
In other words, this person is not completely unfamiliar. The last time they went to Beijing to see Rong Qinghuai secretly, Yu Jingdu changed his appearance to this person. At that time, Rong Zhuo changed his face together with him, and the two pretended to be two brothers, named Wu Da and Wu Er respectively.
"Yours." The man handed another human-skin mask to Rong Zhuo.
However, Rong Zhuo could tell that this person's voice belonged to Yu Jingdu.
"Why should I change face?" Rong Zhuo asked him, "Are you going out?"
"Yeah." Yu Jingdu walked to the side and sat down, "I just remembered that when you left Jiangfu last time, you gave me your peace talisman. I'll take you to Qingyin Temple today to help you get another one. Amulet of peace."
Rong Zhuo heard the words and said, "Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, I can do it if I don't."
"Then how?" Yu Jingdu said seriously: "I won't be at ease if I don't pay you back."
Rong Zhuo said in his heart, can you give me back my piece?
But he felt that talking with the banquet king like this was a bit out of line, so he held back and didn't refute, and honestly put on the disguise mask.
"Remember our identities?" Yu Jingdu asked.
"Well." Rong Zhuo said: "Your name is Wu Da, and my name is Wu Er."
"What do you call my name?" Yu Jingdu asked.
Rong Zhuo raised his eyes and looked at him, his eyes were a little awkward.
"You forgot it so soon?" Yu Jingdu put on an elder brother's attitude, "Who was chasing me back then and insisted on calling me elder brother? Now it's not uncommon to call him?"
"Your Highness is... Your Highness, I dare not call your Highness a brother." Rong Zhuo said.
"Then you can take this as an order." Yu Jingdu said.
Rong Zhuo had no choice but to speak awkwardly and called out, "Brother."
Yu Jingdu was reluctant to hear him cry, completely lost the intimacy he used to have, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
After Rong Zhuo packed up, the two left the palace in a carriage.
I thought everything would go smoothly, but didn't expect the carriage to get to the gate of the city but it was interrogated.
In order to avoid attracting attention, the two of them were not riding in the carriage of Prince Yan's Mansion, but an ordinary carriage, so the soldiers guarding the city stopped them as usual.
"What's the matter?" Yu Jingdu asked Li Feng, who was disguised as a driver.
"Young Master Hui, it's approaching the New Year's Eve, and the gates of the city should be checked more strictly." Li Feng said.
Rong Zhuo carefully lifted the curtain and glanced at it, and asked a little uneasily, "Won't you be recognized?"
"It's hard to say." Yu Jingdu glanced at the worried young man, and coughed softly, "Our identity on this certificate is brother, but you are so alienated from me that it is easy for others to see it."
Rong Zhuo sat in the corner of the carriage as soon as he got into the carriage, wishing he could be as far away from Yu Jingdu as possible.
At this moment, he could hear the displeasure in Yu Jingdu's words, so he had to move to sit beside him.
After a while, the soldiers who were interrogating came over.
Li Feng lifted the curtain of the car for the other party to check. The soldier glanced at the two and asked, "What's the relationship between you two?"
"Brother." Rong Zhuo said hurriedly.
"It doesn't look like it." The soldier said casually.
Rong Zhuo was inexplicably nervous when he heard the words, and unconsciously grabbed Yu Jingdu's sleeve with one hand.
"What are you doing out of town?" the soldier asked again.
"Go to the temple to offer incense." Yu Jingdu said.
Hearing the words, the soldiers didn't ask any more questions, told them to come back before dark, and let them go.
"Why do you want to come back before dark?" Rong Zhuo asked in confusion.
"When the New Year is closed, the city gate will be closed after nightfall." Yu Jingdu said.
The gates of the capital were originally closed at night, but they were usually closed later. Only during festivals or when something special happens, the inspection and control at the gate of the city will be stricter.
