Chapter 321: Embarrassment
Su Xi's worries were not superfluous, because at this moment, the Seventh Prince was going to the palace to see the emperor.
The sound of silk music is murmuring, even in the cold winter wax moon, it does not affect the emperor's interest at all, and he will not fall behind at all in the song and dance that should be rewarded.
This is one of the emperor's favorite pleasures, and he naturally will not treat himself badly.
The Seventh Prince hesitated for a moment at the door of the main hall before ordering someone to pay homage, after all, he didn't come here to enjoy the song and dance.
Liu Yiyi couldn't get in touch, the situation on Jing Hao's side was not clear, and the emperor's reward to Jing Hao made Jing Hao beautiful again in front of the ministers of the court and the central government, and the anger in the heart of the seventh prince became more and more agitated.
Not just because of Jing Hao's scenery, but because of the missed opportunity, and his wasted effort.
When he lost so many assassins on the edge of the cliff, he thought that Jing Hao's death would be worth it, but it turned out that all this was just a pipe dream, and Jing Hao was still alive and well.
And such a close at hand, even the opportunity to rub your hands, is not always available, and it is unknown when the next time will be, perhaps, there will never be a second time.
Between the Seventh Prince and Jing Hao, there are just enemies who don't tear their faces, who doesn't know who. It is precisely because of this that Jing Hao will be more and more wary of the Seventh Prince, where can the Seventh Princes easily succeed, even when Li Jiang, the last one alive in that assassination, was sent to the Hou Mansion to secretly assassinate Jing Hao, he was taken down by Jing Hao's secret guards and committed suicide by biting his tongue.
The Seventh Prince has never been a person who easily admits defeat, not to mention, he has endured the emperor robbing him of his position for so many years, and a Wei Wuhou is nothing.
For the sake of the throne, he has endured it for so many years, and of course he can't fall short because of a moment of anger.
The emperor summoned the Seven Princes, and after enjoying the singing and dancing for a while, he ordered the palace maids to retreat, and then he looked at the Seventh Prince: "The emperor's brother came this time, what happened?" It's not just as simple as visiting me, is it? ”
Since the emperor has seen through it, why not admit it?
The Seventh Prince simply told the truth to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the rumors about Wei Wuhou must be known to the emperor, and the emperor's act of rewarding him is undoubtedly to completely clear his suspicions, is it possible that the emperor really believes what Wei Wuhou said?" ”
Even if the emperor really had doubts about Wei Wuhou, in front of the Seventh Prince, he didn't want to show his doubts.
"Whether it is human and material evidence, even if the imperial doctor in the palace has diagnosed and treated Wei Wuhou, it is not much different from what he said, this ...... Is it possible that the plague can still deceive people? "The emperor is not speaking for Wei Wuhou, in front of the Seventh Prince, he is in a neutral position.
The Seventh Prince reminded the emperor: "Your Majesty, is it possible that you have forgotten that in the Hou Mansion, there is a Doctor Su Lisu, but it is very simple for any doctor to use some illusions to confuse others." ”
The emperor disagreed: "It's just a country doctor, what kind of ability can he have, is it possible to be stronger than the imperial doctor in the palace?" Imperial brother, don't make a fuss, I know that you have always been more or less prejudiced against Wei Wuhou, but now that the facts are in front of you, I can't help but believe it, and the imperial brother will not trouble Wei Wuhou anymore. ”
The Seventh Prince hurriedly excused himself: "Your Majesty, the courtier brother is wronged, that Doctor Su should not be underestimated, although he cannot be compared with the imperial doctor in the palace, but he is much more capable than other doctors in the capital, otherwise, Wei Wuhou will not leave him in the mansion." Moreover, I heard that Su Xi, the wife of Wei Wuhou and the daughter of General Su's family, was seriously ill earlier, and it was Dr. Su who rescued her. ”
The emperor fell into thought: "You mean, you have been suspecting that Wei Wuhou is deceiving me until now?" ”
The Seventh Prince did not give the emperor an affirmative answer, but said: "Your Majesty, think about it, Marquis Wu of Wei has not appeared in the Hou Mansion for so long, even when there are unfavorable words circulating against him among people in the capital, but he appeared on the second day when the emperor sent people, how can there be such a coincidental thing in the world?" ”
As soon as he was analyzed by the Seventh Prince, the emperor was already suspicious in his heart, and he was already angry at Jing Hao's behavior, but now he was even more suspicious, and then he spoke: "But, why did he do this?" ”
When the Seventh Prince heard this, he knew that the emperor had confidence in his words, and he questioned and angered Jing Hao's approach, and continued to speak: "Your Majesty, Jing Hao has always been cunning, and now he is in the position of Marquis Wu of Wei, and his merits are great, so I think I am unwilling." ”
When the emperor heard this, his heart was shocked, he was already in the position of Marquis of Wei Wu and was still unwilling, so wouldn't the next target be the throne?
"Brother Huang, what do you mean by that?" The emperor looked at the Seventh Prince in disbelief, but the Seventh Prince's face showed great worry, staring at the emperor's eyes, and nodded noncommittally.
"Your Majesty, you know very well in your heart, Jing Hao originally had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and they all believed in him, once he made a move, it would only be a big disadvantage to the emperor. If it weren't for the emperor sending someone to summon Wei Wuhou, how long would he still plan to disappear, and during the time he disappeared, would he be sick, would Doctor Su help him, or would he still be secretly doing and planning some other things......
As he spoke, the Seventh Prince observed the expression on the emperor's face, and saw the anger and doubts as he wished, and was very happy in his heart, Once the emperor has doubts about Jing Hao and increases the contradiction between the emperor and Jing Hao, is he still worried that no one will eradicate Jing Hao?
And this is also the fundamental purpose of the Seventh Prince, once Jing Hao is eradicated, it will be easier for the Seventh Prince's desire to force the palace.
In this court, only Jing Hao can cause obstacles to the Seventh Prince, as for the others, as far as the Seventh Prince, he has never paid attention to it, except for General Su, of course.
It's just that Jing Hao was suspected by the emperor and got rid of it, so even General Su's family would suffer a catastrophe, and the Seventh Prince had nothing to fear.
After all, his ultimate goal is to snatch the throne that he thinks belongs to him. Jing Hao is just a branch of his ultimate goal, just get rid of it.
"Your Majesty, my brother is thinking about the emperor." In the end, it can be regarded as a fire for Jing Hao, and it still has to show the good intentions of the Seventh Prince for the emperor.
Although the emperor knew that the words of the seventh prince were half-true and half-false, the emperor also knew that he could not take anyone lightly, and now the seventh prince's spearhead was aimed at Jing Hao, which was both a good thing and a bad thing.
