Confirming Shen Jingshu's intentions, Prince Duan couldn't wait for a moment, and went directly to the palace the next day.
"Hehe, you're finally back. You were so powerful a few days ago, and I haven't heard from you these days. I'm really worried!" Seeing that Prince Duan's son was fine, the emperor also breathed a sigh of relief.
He also agrees with what Prince Duan's son did before, Dongyang Hou's Mansion has indeed become a bit rampant over the years, and Prince Duan's attitude is also a little vacillating, so he naturally has to be careful!
"Let the emperor worry, the minister is fine!"
"Really? I feel relieved seeing you like this, but I haven't heard from you these days, but what's the trouble?" The emperor is very clear about Duan Wang's son's temper, and he won't do it for no reason. He just disappeared, something must have happened to delay him.
"There was an accident. I was injured in the past few days, but I have recovered. The emperor can rest assured."
"Injured? But serious?" After so many days, it must be a serious injury, the emperor looked worried.
"It has been dealt with, and now there is no serious problem."
"It's no wonder the spies came to report. Those people have been watching all the pharmacies in the capital recently. Thank you, Jin." He patted Prince Duan on the shoulder. The big one, not to mention that Prince Duan is the orphan of Princess Qian, and the emperor also knew that the late emperor owed a lot to Princess Qian, so naturally he has somewhat different feelings for Prince Duan, not to mention that Prince Duan has been there all these years. Doing things for him has helped him a lot, and the emperor also trusts Prince Duan very much.
"I don't work hard, these are what I should do." From a very young age, he knew that his father and stepmother cannot be relied on, so Prince Duan has learned to work hard to make himself strong since he was sensible. stand up.
"You, what do you want me to say about you? My aunt asked me to take good care of you before she left. If something happens to you, I will forgive my aunt for her entrustment before she died."
"If it wasn't for the emperor's blessing these years, I might not be in this world long ago. I will remember the emperor's kindness to me." He is a person who does not have the protection of his mother and concubine. Did you get killed by those people? Where can I still sit on the throne of this world? But even so, his situation is very dangerous.
"Haha, it's alright, as long as you're fine. Come, sit down, let's talk about what happened this time first, and see what's the result!" The two have been together for many years, and they know each other's temperament very well. The emperor's confidant is also the emperor's close cousin, and the emperor also trusts Prince Duan's son very much.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" After telling the story briefly, the Emperor frowned when he heard the words, "It seems that I really underestimated them. Now it's like this, but it's embarrassing for you. If the time comes..."
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured. I am very clear about what is right and what is wrong. Even if the time comes when the relatives are killed, I will stand on the emperor's side!" Duan Wang's son's attitude is very clear, although the man is his father , but these years he has never been a real father, nor has he fulfilled the responsibilities of a father. He has completely given up on King Duan and his son.
"Hey, I really didn't expect that they were colluding secretly. It's no wonder that Dongyang Houfu has been acting more and more frequently over the years, and Prince Duan seems to be becoming more and more arrogant." Although he had doubts before, but now it is confirmed , the emperor was still very surprised.
"I didn't expect that, so I was ambushed by them. Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
"Since they are going to do such a rebellious thing, I can't tolerate it, Jin, can you blame me?"
"The emperor is also for the sake of the country, how can the minister be blamed? If it really ends like that in the end, then they are just reaping the fruit of their own."
"Jin, I have wronged you these years. When my father married my aunt, I had no choice but to think that he would treat you like this. My father has always felt guilty. Before he died, he also asked me to take good care of you. It's just that these years I didn't do a good job either, now that my children are grown up, and you never got married, it was I who delayed you!" As the emperor's candidate, the emperor naturally got married very early, unlike Princess Duan who was so unfavored, married It took many years for Princess Jinduan to finally have a son, and she was still very unfavorable. Even the position of the son belonged to the emperor, and Prince Duan never asked for an order!
"Your Majesty, this is my own choice. I don't want to be manipulated by them."
"It's just that you're getting older now. Is it possible that you can't continue like this? In the past, when I want to give you a marriage, you always shirk it. This time, you are not allowed to shirk again, otherwise I will have no face to see my aunt and father." .”
"Everything depends on the emperor."
"You boy, these words are too polite to me. What is up to me, if you don't like it, why don't you find a way to evade it?" The emperor also knew Wang Duan's son very well. He said before that he would serve, Prince Duan's son always refused, but this time he agreed, and the emperor also had a guess, "You tell me, do you have a woman you like? I remember that you didn't allow me to marry you in previous years. Tell me, Who on earth made you change your mind? I am really curious!" Although the emperor is much older than Prince Duan, the relationship between the two is very good, and they are more casual in private. Seeing that the emperor guessed it, Prince Duan is not sure. You are welcome, "Your Majesty is still wise, I really cannot hide my thoughts from the Emperor!"
"You boy, is it hard to guess what you are thinking? I have been worrying about your marriage for a long time these years, but it turned out to be my own head. Quickly tell me which girl it is that has moved your heart Already?" At this moment, the emperor does not have the majesty of the past, and is completely an image of a brother who is related to a younger brother.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of Miss Shen from Shen Shilang's family?"
"Hehe, Shen Shilang is excellent, and his daughter is naturally not bad!" There is a faintly beautiful figure in the memory, and the emperor has a little impression, and he is also extremely satisfied with Shen Jingshu, "This Shen Shilang was in the Serving in Jiangnan, could it be that you have been in Jiangnan all these years for the sake of Miss Shen? Otherwise, I urged you to return to Beijing and you still refuse to come back?"
"Your majesty, don't laugh at me!" If Shen Jingshu wasn't too young, why would he be like this
"Hehe, that's all. Since you like it, I have decreed that you should continue the incense, or I won't be able to explain it!" Seeing that Prince Duan's son was settled this time, the emperor was also happy, and immediately agreed up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Haha, look at you kid, you finally got the hang of it, but I have to see how this girl is doing first." It was also to make Prince Duan anxious, and the emperor only looked relaxed when he was with Prince Duan. , defenseless.
"Your Majesty, if you do this, you will scare her."
"Haha, you've covered it before you even entered the door, you, let me tell you what to say about you!"
"Please trouble the emperor..."
"That's all, I'll let you do it!" At that moment, the emperor left Prince Duan to have dinner in the palace. When he returned to Prince Duan's Mansion, his mood sank immediately.
"The son is back, the prince told you to go to the study to meet him when you come back!"
"Okay, I see." The happy expression before was completely gone, replaced by Prince Duan's cold and hard face. Frowning, Prince Duan first went back to change his clothes, and then went to the study, but as soon as he entered, he heard the same cold voice of Prince Duan, "You're back?" You can't hear the slightest thing in his tone, Prince Duan stood there in a well-behaved manner, and at the moment he looked like an obedient son, "Yes, father!"
"Is the trip to the southwest going well this time?" Walking over, Duan Wang carefully looked at his son's eyes, with probing eyes and probing words.
"Well, it went relatively well!"
"But you went to the palace to see the emperor?"
"When I came back, I went to see the emperor first, and came back after I was reinstated."
"Well, well done, as expected of my son!" I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but Prince Duan pushed Prince Duan below the abdomen, Prince Duan only felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, but he still endured it , "Thank you, father, for your praise." Did he suspect something
"Is everything safe on this journey? Didn't you get hurt?" King Duan didn't let go of Prince Duan's expression. Seeing Prince Duan's reaction as usual, he felt a little puzzled.
"The father is worried, and the son is fine."
"It's fine, what did the emperor say?"
"The emperor rewarded his son for doing a good job this time, and intends to reward him well."
"Oh? What does he plan to reward you for?"
"The emperor didn't say anything, but looking at the expression on the emperor's face, he looks very happy." Speaking of this, Prince Duan's son is also paving the way for the emperor's bestowal of marriage, so as not to feel that it is too abrupt at the time, Prince Duan will secretly It's tricky.
"Well, you have done something for the emperor, and the emperor should reward you." Although he is a father and son, Duan Wang's eyes don't show the slightest pity. Instead, he looks at a criminal with temptation in his eyes. Prince Duan's eyes made him very uncomfortable, "Is there anything else you can do? If not, my son will go back first. I am tired from traveling all the way, and my son wants to take a rest!"
"Okay, then go and have a good rest!"
"Thank you, Father!" Prince Duan's son left calmly, but Prince Duan's face was still cold.
Could it be that he guessed wrong, the person that day was not him
But…
After thinking about it, King Duan was worried after all, "Look at him secretly, and if you find something wrong, come and tell me!"
"Yes, my lord!" A black shadow crossed the air, and soon followed the footsteps of Prince Duan. Prince Duan felt the person behind him sneer, but in the end it seemed that he hadn't noticed anything. I went back calmly. It's just that when he was on the road, Prince Duan's son happened to meet Princess Duan, "I heard that the son is back, so it's been a hard journey, right?"
"Missing Princess Lao, I'm fine."
"Hehe, I asked someone to make some food for you. Your son will eat some when you go back, so that you can replenish your body." Concubine Duan is very used to calling Duan Wang's son, but she doesn't show it at all on her face.
"Thank you princess!"
"Then son, let's go back and have a good rest!" Seeing Prince Duan's son leave, Princess Duan frowned, feeling very displeased with King Duan's disrespect for her, but she had no choice but to go to see Prince Duan. up.
When she came to the study, she saw Prince Duan's expression of deep thought. Concubine Duan was a little anxious, "My lord, the son is back, did you..."
"not him!"
"But he is the only one who is more suspicious. The emperor sent him on a mission at this time, is he deliberately creating opportunities for him?" Princess Duan has always been very displeased with Prince Duan's son. Princess Duan hopes to pin this matter on Prince Duan's son, so that she doesn't have to worry about it.
"I tried it just now, it wasn't him."
"But my lord..."
"I know what you're thinking. What this king promised you will definitely come true. It's just that this king doesn't like your continued involvement in this matter!" King Duan has always been an extremely ambitious person. He was oppressed by the late emperor back then. There is no way, the current emperor is also suppressing him, weakening his military power bit by bit, how could he let it go
"My lord, I'm just worried about my lord. This time, Dongyang Hou's mansion was hit hard, so I'm worried..."
"This king knows this matter well. Even if the emperor did it, he couldn't destroy Dongyang Hou's mansion overnight. What's more, there is still a concubine Li and the fifth prince in the palace. Why are you so anxious?" As long as the emperor If Concubine Li and Fifth Prince are not moved, then they still have a chance!
"I heard that the emperor hasn't been to Concubine Li's palace for several days. Even the last time Concubine Li gave the emperor a tonic, the emperor never accepted it. This..." All prosperity, all damage, Dongyang Hou Mansion because of Li Concubine However, the recent exposure of many things has really caused Dongyang Houfu to suffer a lot. How could Princess Duan swallow this breath
"What happened to the Dongyang Hou's Mansion, the emperor did it just to beat him up. The Dongyang Hou's Mansion has not collapsed yet, what are you worried about?" Frowning, Duan Wang is an extreme machismo , he doesn't like women's involvement in the foreign house very much, and Princess Duan has violated his bottom line.
"My lord, the situation is not good for us now, what should we do?"
"Just wait and see what happens, you woman, just take care of the affairs of the house. Okay, you go back and rest!"
"..." I wanted to say something, but I could see Prince Duan's impatience. Concubine Duan and Prince Duan had been married for many years, so naturally they knew what Prince Duan meant, "Yes, my lord, I will resign as a concubine!" Willing to, but now it can only be like this.
It's just that she won't just let it go!
As soon as Concubine Duan left, a person came out from the dark. Seeing Concubine Duan's appearance, she was a little worried, "My lord, will the concubine's behavior affect our plans?"
"What's the point of a woman's opinion? Remind her, it's okay if she is obedient, but if she is not obedient, this king has his own means to deal with it!"
"Your Highness is still wise, but the Dongyang Hou Mansion has been exposed so many things this time, and it is really unpredictable. Will the cooperation between Your Highness and Dongyang Hou Mansion this time hurt your interests?"
"Although Dongyang Hou's mansion is not rich enough, there are concubines Li and the fifth prince in the palace. This alone can be used by this king!" What he wants is this kind of person who can be manipulated, otherwise why would he bother? It took a lot of trouble to save the Dongyang Hou Mansion
"It's just that the foundation of the Dongyang Marquis Mansion is insufficient, will it be..."
"It's okay, what this king wants is that they lack confidence." In this way, they can't escape his control!
"It's still the prince who thinks well."
"Okay, you can go back first, the limelight is getting tight recently, you don't have to come, the king will naturally contact you if necessary!"
"Yes, my lord!" The man quietly walked away from the dark, extremely fast, it could be seen that he was very familiar with Prince Duan's mansion, and he had been here often.
"Hmph, this king is not a pawn at the mercy of others. He can come and go at will. If you annoy this king, don't blame me for being rude!" Duan Wang was suppressed by the former emperor before, and now he is still being suppressed by the current emperor. How could he not be angry
Seeing his military power being dismantled bit by bit, how could King Duan sit idly by
Last time, he was careless. Originally he thought that if he called himself sick, the emperor would be afraid because of it. When the time came to invite him to go out, would he still worry that the other party would keep suppressing him
It's just that he didn't expect to change people, and he really dared to! That person was still his son, how could King Duan not be angry
This rebellious son was born to oppose him! He didn't like having half of your royal blood in him, but now seeing Prince Duan's son always getting along with him, King Duan's dislike for Prince Duan's son has naturally added another level!
Sure enough, he is not familiar with him, and he is not on the same side as him at all!
