His pupils turned slightly, his peripheral vision scattered, and Xiao Huayong said nonchalantly: "Why are you in such a hurry? Why do you think His Majesty doesn't execute my cousin immediately?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Kang has been serving Your Majesty for twenty years. I'm afraid that His Royal Highness Prince Kang has a lot of evidence of things that Your Majesty has handled." Tian Yuan replied softly.
"This is just one of the reasons." Xiao Huayong raised his eyes and his sight fell on the Pingzhong bonsai placed in front of the window. "The second one is the most important. The crime of King Kang privately manufacturing weapons has been confirmed. What is his purpose? I know that it was ordered by His Majesty, but others do not know and dare not guess so.
If your majesty wants to put this matter to a thorough conclusion and make you stop pondering and trying to investigate further, you must give an explanation."
Three leaves fell on the flower table where the bonsai was placed. He stood up and walked over, picked up one, and rubbed it carefully with his fingertips: "Everyone wants to know who King Kang serves. It's the time to show off their skills. Little do they know that Your Majesty is just using King Kang as bait. The more excited one is, the more miserable he will fall. Your Majesty is just in need of a mastermind to put an end to this matter."
Tian Yuan's heart tightened, he didn't expect His Majesty had such a deeper meaning. He bowed his head respectfully and said nothing.
Xiao Huayong put down the leaves: "This pot of leaves is dry."
After saying that, Xiao Huayong left the warm room and placed several pots of Pingzhong outside. He checked the condition of the branches one by one. Some of them were root burned, some were dry, and some had rotten roots...
He made a detailed record, picked out three pots that grew extremely well, and told Tian Yuan: "Tell the people below to remember how to fertilize and water these three pots. After I leave Beijing, tell Yoyo how to water them."
"Yes." Tian Yuan responded cautiously.
He had followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since he was a child, and had never seen His Royal Highness be so attentive to anyone. No one was making Pingzhong bonsai at the time, so His Royal Highness personally started by selecting the flowerpots and taking meticulous care of them without the help of anyone else. He figured out the needs of Pingzhong bonsai bit by bit, from light, wind, fertilizer, to water.
He was afraid that the princess would take the pet and take improper care of it, causing it to wither and die, which would be disappointing. This shocked Tianyou to the core. It turned out that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to be good to someone, he could be so meticulous and thorough.
Shen Xihe had never thought that Emperor Youning would be so shameless as to pit his son and wait for his son to come forward and take the blame so that the matter could be completely over. Therefore, he was waiting for the ambitious person to come forward so that he could completely tear off his disguise.
Xiao Huayong saw through Emperor Youning's plan, so he kept his troops in place and waited for a better opportunity. However, he did not expect that the development of this matter would be beyond his expectations.
"Fifth brother, who is Prince Kang planning for?" Xiao Changying came to Prince Xin's mansion to discuss what happened today.
"We should not interfere in this matter." Xiao Changqing was dressed in white. He had just finished chanting a sutra and was holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.
"I..." Xiao Changying hesitated to speak.
Xiao Changqing glanced at him, his eyes gentle, "Prince Kang has been convicted, so the Northwest Palace has nothing to do with it. Princess Zhaoning and the Northwest Prince are the victims, and there will be no more twists and turns."
“Fifth brother, do you know who it is…” Xiao Changying had a vague guess.
Xiao Changqing lowered his eyes for a moment before looking at him: "If I say it's Your Majesty, can you believe it?"
"How could it be!" Xiao Changying stood up in shock, "How could it be Your Majesty? Why would Your Majesty need to privately make weapons!"
