With such a good mood, even if he suddenly received the emperor's order to enter the palace, it was not because there was still a slight smile on his face, and it was completely sincere.
It seemed that he was very happy about the emperor's call.
When the emperor saw the crown prince in the Taiji Hall, he saw a tall and straight young man who was full of energy, just standing quietly in the hall, and the room was full of brilliance.
With a smile on his lips, the arrogance and indifference between his brows melted away, and the sharp and evil aura that he had fought on the battlefield in the past was completely restrained. He looked like a noble son with no strength to restrain a chicken, gentle and harmless.
The emperor frowned slightly inadvertently.
He intuited that the prince had changed a little bit compared to the past, but he couldn't tell what the change was.
The present prince actually made him unable to see through.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, the emperor smiled and said: "The prince is here, come to me."
As in the past, he cordially called the prince to the imperial case, and the emperor asked: "A few days ago, you said you were sick and did not go to court, but the old disease relapsed again? Are you better now?"
Yuan Buwei responded softly according to the original body's usual tone: "I am sorry for your troubles, my son is not a relapse of the old disease this time, but has been poisoned."
"Poisoned?!"
The emperor's voice raised a notch.
...how did you find out? !
Seeing that the prince was still looking at him indifferently, he realized his gaffe, coughed twice, and asked eagerly: "Have you ever found out who is so bold that he dared to poison the crown prince of a country? Is this poison cured?" Open? Will there be any future troubles?"
He is really eager.
—The Prince discovered something that should not have been exposed so early. Will it affect the follow-up plan
This genuine look of anxiety without any false pretense, in other people's eyes, is a feeling of love. If it is the original Qi Mo who doesn't know the inside story, maybe he will be very moved by it. .
After asking several questions in a row, the emperor shouted again and again:
"Where's the imperial doctor? Don't call the imperial doctor yet!"
Yuan didn't do anything or stop him, but just looked at the real anxiety on the emperor's face.
... It is estimated that the emperor would not really believe what he said. Maybe only if the imperial doctor has seen it, the other party will be completely relieved
Taking advantage of summoning the imperial doctor, Yuan Wuwei had time to answer the emperor's previous question.
"The few imperial physicians sent by my father to the mansion are clever, and temporarily relieved the poison, but this poison is rare and has not been able to eradicate the future troubles. As for the person who poisoned..."
Seemingly raising his eyes to glance at the emperor inadvertently, under the nervous gaze of the emperor, he said softly: "There were too many people in the eldest princess's house that day, and we haven't found out yet."
"The Dachang Princess' Mansion? Is this related to the Dachang Princess' Mansion?"
The emperor looked surprised.
"According to the poisoning time found by the imperial physicians, it is like this."
The imperial doctors arrived soon, and after some diagnosis and treatment, they finally came to the conclusion that there was no difference from what Buwei had said.
As for dissolving residual poison
The imperial doctors knelt down on the spot: "I am incompetent..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the emperor flew into a rage, and with a wave of his hand, he was about to drag all these trash out and chop them up. On the contrary, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was poisoned calmly persuaded the emperor to spare the lives of these imperial doctors.
After such an outburst, the emperor seemed to no longer be in the good mood at the beginning, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and a layer of haze was covering his face.
As for whether this displeasure was because the prince was almost murdered, or because his own plan had gone awry, only he knew it.
but-
"... secretly murdering the crown prince of a country, this matter must not be tolerated, and we must carefully investigate the whole story."
As he said that, the emperor took out a blank volume of imperial decree, and wanted someone to investigate the matter, but instead of doing so, he invited himself.
The emperor was a little surprised, but without much hesitation, he agreed with a smile: "That's fine. Prince, you are more interested in martial arts. Now that you are leaving the army, I am planning to let you serve in the Sixth Ministry. You should be more familiar with court affairs... Since you also have the intention , let’s go to the Ministry of Punishments for the time being.”
... As for the military power in hand, it happened to be handed over.
Yuan didn't do it but still stood where he was, with a hesitant expression.
The emperor asked patiently, "What else is there?"
"That day, there was a banquet at the Dachang Princess' Mansion. The identities of the guests were very special, and there were several uncles among them..."
The emperor understood.
This is because they are worried that those people's identities are too special. Even if he is a prince, it is not easy to interrogate him without conclusive evidence.
He immediately wrote down the imperial decree, and said: "I grant you the right to make decisions on the fly. Anyone involved in this case, no matter who they are, can be arrested on the spot if they are suspected, and wait to be dealt with."
As for the crown prince, if he really followed the imperial decree and arrested people indiscriminately, would he offend a group of princes and nobles, and would those people hold grudges against the crown prince afterwards...
The emperor's imperial decree was written happily, as if a major matter had been resolved. Even the haze that shrouded the eyebrows has dissipated a lot.
Yuan Buwei received the imperial edict with a happy face, and was about to leave when the emperor suddenly stopped him and handed him a memorial.
The person who wrote this memorial was Prime Minister Su.
"One more thing, the prince is called into the palace today, it is for the prime minister..."
It turned out that Su Mingyou was going to get married today, and the prime minister made a special announcement, hoping to invite the prince to be there, so that everyone could resolve all previous misunderstandings in person.
The words on the memorial were sincere, and the tone was humble, without the slightest meaning of relying on the old to sell the old, and there was no hint of resentment. It seemed that the prime minister had no dissatisfaction with the red line that he did not draw for the god of the day.
The emperor smiled and said: "The prime minister is the pillar of the country. Since the crown prince is the heir, there is no need to cause rifts over trivial matters. This is the opportunity to settle the suspicion."
—Without the incident of the prince being poisoned, the two parties may still have the possibility of burying their suspicions. But now... the suspicion of the prime minister's mansion is not small at all. Let the prince go to the wedding banquet, in case there is another conflict because of this, is it sure to eliminate the grievances instead of completely enmity
Yuan Buwei calmly agreed.
"Father and emperor have good intentions, and my son understands."
He nodded earnestly, clearly speaking in a sincere tone, but the emperor could hear a bit of sarcasm. In a trance, it seems to be an illusion.
"However, let's talk about burying the former suspicion? My son just brought together a couple of lovers. Is it possible that the prime minister is still limited by the views of the family and is worried about it?"
Speaking of this, Yuan Buwei looked helpless and sighed softly.
"... If that's the case, Erchen should have a good talk with him."
The emperor looked at him like this, and for a moment didn't know whether he was really unreasonable, or he was just pretending to be stupid.
He had no choice but to laugh in agreement: "The crown prince is right, but I was wrong."
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was joyous.
thump, thump, thump...
At this time, a series of footsteps suddenly came in from outside the hall, breaking the atmosphere of "father's kindness and son's filial piety" in the hall. Before anyone arrived, the voice had already come in from afar.
"Brother Huang! Did Brother Huang enter the palace today?"
Following the sound of footsteps, a chubby meat dumpling rushed in, wrapped in a red silk dress, it looked like a festive glutinous rice ball.
Wasn't it originally: "...?"
Looking at this chubby little chubby dog, Yuan fell into silence not uncommonly.
... This is the legendary future protagonist who single-handedly overthrew the tyrant and created a prosperous world
The meat dumpling raised its head, first saluted the emperor with its fat paws, and then looked at Yuan Buwei helplessly, throwing the emperor aside.
"Brother Huang, you have finally entered the palace!"
It can be said that Qi Yu has long admired this elder brother of the prince who is known as the god of war. However, this elder brother has been fighting in the north and south, and rarely has free time. Even if there were, most of them were like this time, because the injury was too serious or the old disease relapsed, and they had to come back to recuperate.
As soon as he heard the news of the prince's entry into the palace today, he rushed over quickly, and he was caught!
He has accumulated a lot of questions, so he wants to ask this elder brother.
So, Yuan Buwei was immediately stuck by this chubby little boy: "Brother Emperor, can you tell me about the last battle of Youyan, how did you manage to attack the enemy camp with a hundred horsemen at night, turning defeat into victory in one fell swoop?" By the way, there was also the battle of Heyang three years ago, thousands of miles to help, and the first battle was successful. I heard that the leader of Jiehu didn't understand what was going on until he was arrested. Oh, and there is... "
It was the first time that Yuan Buwei met someone who was more talkative than the system 999, and it seemed that Yuan Buwei didn't need to answer at all, he could talk excitedly by himself. He couldn't help lowering his eyes and glanced at him.
Qi Yu didn't notice it at all, and had to reach out and grab the hem of Yuan Wuwei's clothes, counting the achievements of the prince's brother one by one, the more he talked, the brighter his eyes became.
What he didn't notice was that as all these deeds came out of his mouth, the face of the emperor sitting above became more and more gloomy. overflowed.
"Enough!" The emperor suddenly reprimanded in a deep voice, "Yu'er, don't mess around! The prince still has business to do."
Qi Yu raised his head in fright.
Compared with the gentleness and kindness he faced Yuan Wuwei before, his scolding was harsh, and his face was so gloomy that it almost dripped water.
Qi Yu, who was always lawless on weekdays, was keenly aware that the emperor's mood was wrong, and suddenly shrank behind Yuan Buwei, and it took a long time before he tentatively popped up:
"Brother Huang, do you have any serious business to do? Shouldn't he be recovering from his injuries?"
He glanced suspiciously at the emperor, as if he suspected that the emperor deliberately abused the wounded number and made the wounded number work overtime.
The emperor almost laughed angrily at this uneasy son, waved his hands, and said angrily: "The prince is not like you, he only knows how to play around in the palace all day. He is going to the prime minister's mansion to attend the wedding banquet."
Qi Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his chubby hand: "Then I'm going too, I haven't been out of the palace yet."
He looked up at Yuan Buwei again, his eyes full of longing: "Take me with you, Brother Huang!"
Yuan Buwei looked down at him, a smile appeared on his lips: "Take you together?"
Qi Yu nodded sharply: "Yeah, take me with you."
Looking at the scene of brothers and sisters respecting each other in front of him, the notch between the emperor's brows deepened unconsciously.
He was about to ask Qi Yu not to continue messing around, but he had already agreed.
"It's just a wedding banquet. Since the sixth brother wants to go, let's go together."
Qi Yu immediately cheered, and immediately after, he felt himself being picked up.
Suddenly someone pinched the back of Destiny's neck, and the cheers in his mouth turned into exclamations. Just as he was about to struggle with all four limbs, his feet suddenly fell to the ground again.
Raising his head in puzzlement, he met his imperial brother's disgusted eyes.
...too fat to carry.
Qi Yu: "..."
←_←Humph!
