Chapter 20: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince

Since the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, Lu Hou usurped power, and listened to the government, and the successive emperors were also more wary of women, lest women seize power and misunderstand national politics. Another emperor was afraid that the woman would mistake her descendants, so he built a house near the imperial palace and ordered that the descendants of the royal family who had reached the age of ten should leave the palace to build a mansion, and when they reached adulthood, they could move to a fiefdom.

Among them, the Prince's Mansion is no exception. Today's crown prince was originally named Yang, and he was originally the king of the East China Sea. Later, because of both ability and political integrity, two years after the former prince Liu Jiang was deposed, and in the twenty years of Jianwu, that is, at the beginning of the year, the king of the East China Sea changed his name to Zhuang and was named the prince. The East China Sea Palace, which was originally located at the farthest point of the Imperial Palace, was also converted into the Prince's Mansion.

And at this moment, the prince's mansion, from the master to the chief manager, down to the guards and servants, is busy in an orderly manner. Because, the prince has returned home! The prince has been away from the capital for more than a month, and now that he has come back, he has naturally gone to the palace to meet the emperor first, and then returned to the newly rebuilt prince's mansion.

The study room of the Prince's Mansion is extremely quiet. Everyone also adjusted their breathing to the lowest, lest they mess up the rhythm and provoke a cold look from His Royal Highness the Prince, and they couldn't bear it and had to jump to their throats.

"Deacon, tell me about it." In the middle of the night, His Royal Highness Liu Zhuang, the only sitting prince, spoke. He was wearing a dark gray robe at this time, and the robe was embroidered with auspicious clouds and golden pythons, which was extremely noble, and his whole body exuded the momentum of being unapproachable, which became more and more deep and depressing, making people unable to see through or touch.

The deacon was named, and there was no reaction on Bing Cube's face, and he bowed down and said: "Your Highness, the abolished prince Jiang has bad intentions and buys killers to assassinate the prince." Now that the certified physical evidence is there, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to play the king and make a decision. ”

After hearing that Liu Jiang assassinated the prince, everyone was shocked. I didn't expect that the waste prince would behave like this, it's no wonder.

Liu Zhuang didn't say anything, but he already had a plan in his heart, and the reason why he asked everyone was nothing more than a temptation: "What is your opinion?" ”

Among the people, the only one who can be called Mr. by the prince is Master Taifu, and Huan Rong is also. Huan Rongru grew into a robe, and he looked kind, and when he was only a year old, his black hair turned gray because of his white hair. At this time, he heard the prince ask him what he thought, but he was not in a hurry, bowed down, squinted and smiled: "Your Highness, this matter is not appropriate to be quiet, and it will be revealed." ”

"Oh?" Liu Zhuang raised his eyebrows, Huan Rong deserved to be his enlightenment gentleman, and knew what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"Do you just swallow this breath?" The deacon shook his sleeves and expressed his disapproval.

"Just swallow it!" Huan Rong is voice is calm and flat.

"Master Taifu, you weren't there at the time, but you almost died because of this?!" But whenever it comes to Liu Zhuang, his feelings are always unconsciously leaked and he loses his original composure.

"So what? Patience when it is time to endure will become a big thing. Huan Rong ignored the deacon and snorted coldly: "Besides, isn't Your Highness going back home now?" ”

"You ......", the deacon couldn't find the words to refute for a while, and you didn't follow for a while.

"Alright." The white face and black face sang almost the same, Liu Zhuang stopped the two, stood up, glanced at everyone with cold eyes, and then slowly spoke: "The position of the crown prince of the imperial brother was abolished, and I was already depressed, although I am not delusional about the position of the prince, but the order of the father and the emperor cannot be disobeyed, which naturally arouses the jealousy of the imperial brother." Now my brother has sent someone to assassinate me, but he has not succeeded, and I am fine; Besides, the imperial grandmother is now seriously ill, and this matter must not be brought to justice! As Mr. said, let's uncover it! ”

This is called sincerity, which only makes people feel both respectful and filial.

"Your Highness!" What else does the deacon want to say?

"I have made up my mind, and I will not say much." After saying that, he turned around: "Lonely is also lacking today, please go back!" ”

When they heard this, they also saluted and bowed and withdrew. But I thought in my heart that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very virtuous, and he will be able to praise him tomorrow.

The deacon walked at the end, the application was displeased, and the ice cube's face became more and more cold.

"Yin Gongzi stays, Your Highness is invited." Some of the high-pitched voices, when they could be suppressed, seemed rather weird.

When the deacon turned around, he saw that it was Chen Yan, the housekeeper beside Liu Zhuang, and when he heard this, his face softened slightly, and he followed Chen Yan back to the study.

Before the cultivator could speak, Liu Zhuang spoke first: "Cultivator, you are smart, but it is rare to be confused. ”

When the deacon heard this, he felt strange, as if he was stunned for a while, and then suddenly realized. Indeed, as Huan Rong said, this matter should not be publicized. First, the person behind it is not Liu Jiang, isn't this action a battle between the snipe and the clam and the fisherman in vain? The two, now that the Queen Mother is seriously ill, if she rashly exposes her shortcomings at this time and her brothers kill each other, wouldn't it chill the Queen Mother's heart and make everyone in the court look at it? The three, even if the certified physical evidence is there, how can you know that it is not Liu Zhuang's frame-by, after all, the abolished prince is now powerless, what can he do to assassinate him, and what benefits can he get?

"Therefore, at this time, we can only stand still and secretly investigate who is behind the trouble." After the cultivator figured it out, he admired His Royal Highness the Crown Prince more and more.

Liu Zhuang nodded, and then said, "Some of our people are not clean. ”

"My subordinates will go down and investigate." I also feel that there is a detailed work.

"No, don't startle the snake. When the time comes, it will show its feet, and it is enough to take precautions and pay attention to it on weekdays. Liu Zhuang shook his head, his eyes shining coldly.

He is too confident and thinks that his people are trustworthy, so he suspects Li Muqing of unknown origin. But now, the girl is inexplicably gone, but this matter continues to ferment, so it can be seen that she misunderstood the girl.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhuang's mind unconsciously appeared Li Muqing's face, peach blossom face, smiling skillfully. He shook his head vigorously, trying to shake it off, but the woman was not obedient at all.

Seeing this scene, the deacon thought that Liu Zhuang was dizzy, and hurriedly took a few steps forward: "Your Highness, where is it unwell?" Do you want to pass on the imperial doctor? ”

Liu Zhuang was a little amused, and then said, "It's okay." You've been busy all day, go back and spend time with your old man. ”

When the deacon heard this, he thought that His Royal Highness would be like this when he was tired, so he bowed down and wanted to retreat. Who knows, as soon as he turned around, he heard the prince's mellow voice coming.

"Wait a minute, you go and look for Miss Li to come back."

"Your Highness, you ......" the deacon was puzzled.

"She is a skilled doctor, and she may be able to see the illness of the emperor's grandmother." Liu Zhuang explained. Somehow, he suddenly felt that with Li Muqing's medical skills, he might be able to get better if he gave the imperial grandmother a look at the disease? It's just that he didn't even realize it, he just wanted to see that person.

"But the prince ...... over there" The deacon hesitated, but he didn't forget what His Royal Highness said to Liu Cang when Liu Cang woke up.

"Why, can't you find someone without him?" Liu Zhuang was a little annoyed. Besides, Liu Cang has been a little depressed since he woke up from his last injury, and he is not as clever as before when encountering things. Now that the injury is not complete, he is only cultivating in the palace, and he will not know these things if he thinks about it.

The deacon only felt that something was wrong with Liu Zhuang, but he couldn't say what was wrong, so he had to say that it should be, and then he left the prince's mansion.

Over there, Li Xingzheng and Sanqi gathered together, eating fragrant roast goose, not realizing that he had been targeted by natural enemies as a prey.
