Chapter 266: Confrontation in front of the Temple

Before Magu left the prince's palace, the emperor sent someone to summon the prince to go to Chengkang Palace.

It seems that the song has been sent to the emperor, and Marquis Anqing was summoned, so he confessed to the prince.

In order to protect himself, An Qinghou would definitely say that he was looking for his nephew, and just before his nephew disappeared, the prince suddenly visited. He didn't directly point out that the prince took Cao Shouzhi away, but just explained the matter as it was, and the emperor himself judged the rest.

But An Qinghou didn't know that the prince was waiting for him to be confessed.

When the prince arrived at the Chengkang Palace, King Qin also happened to rush over. He seemed to already know what was going on, "Why does the imperial brother have nothing to do with the affairs of the Cao family?" King Qin's eyes were full of resentment at this moment.

"The emperor's brother misunderstood, the palace just went to take a look, and I heard that Cao Gongzi has been in poor health recently, so I went to take a look. How? Could it be that something happened to Cao Gongzi? The prince pretended not to know.

The emperor was inside, King Qin suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a smile: "Father is waiting for us, let's go in first." ”

The prince walked in front of King Qin with great ambition, and King Qin immediately transformed his respectful appearance and followed the prince into the Chengkang Palace.

"See Father." The crown prince saluted with King Qin.

"Get up and talk back." The emperor said calmly.

After the crown prince and King Qin got up, their expressions were almost the same.

"Why are you here? I don't seem to have passed you on. The emperor glanced at King Qin, who followed up.

"Father, the son heard that Shouzhi has always been there, so he followed over to see if there was anything he could help with." King Qin looked like he cared about his brother completely.

"Hey." The emperor sighed, this is the grandson left by the old marquis's former wife, although it has nothing to do with Han Guifei and King Qin, but the involvement of the prince this time still shocked the emperor.

He never figured out, what did the prince want to take Cao Shouzhi away?

"Why did you take Cao Shouzhi away?" The emperor asked puzzled.

"Father, the person was indeed taken away by his son."

An Qinghou and King Qin were shocked, they didn't expect the prince to admit it so readily. How dare he admit it? Shouldn't he die and deny it, and then they searched for Cao Shouzhi, and then ......

Finished. Hit the trick! An Qinghou was moved that things were not good, and his shocked eyes peeked at King Qin.

"What are you going to do with him?" The emperor couldn't understand his son's behavior, "If you want to take him away, why don't you tell the people in the family?" It made the whole capital chickens fly and dogs jump. There was a hint of rebuke and dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Prince. The minister thought that Zhi'er was lost, so he sent a lot of people to look for him in a hurry. The minister's recklessness for a while also alarmed the emperor, and the minister really deserved to die. The damn sentence in the latter sentence was directed at the emperor.

An Qinghou made a worried look, and then made a comfortable look and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers on the prince's side are relieved." This is just a misunderstanding, the prince may have forgotten to tell the minister. ”

An Qinghou seems to be helping the prince to speak and help the prince play a round. The prince couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.

"Father, I believe that the imperial brother has no malicious intent." King Qin also stood up and said a good word for the prince at the right time.

But the crown prince didn't have the slightest gratitude in his heart, "Father, do you want to meet that Cao Shouzhi?" ”

The prince's words made King Qin and Marquis An Qinghou hold their breath, their eyes were full of consternation, and the whole person froze.

The emperor didn't plan to see it, but it can be seen that Anqinghou has a strange appearance. He nodded, "Let him come to me." ”

"Father, he must already be outside."

The prince had already prepared, and this was his whole set of plans. rescued Cao Shouzhi and forced An Qinghou to shake himself out in front of the emperor, and then he took Cao Shouzhi to see the emperor. The whole plan was clear only to the crown prince, Wang Da and Geler. And the previous series of rescue actions, including the participation of Magu, of course, they really wanted to find a safe place for Cao Shouzhi to hide first. In case the emperor did not summon him, then Cao Shouzhi would be safe at least temporarily.

They made two preparations, and the crown prince didn't expect the emperor to summon him so soon. So, he went out. Gele had already gone to Shuiliu Village to pick up Cao Shouzhi.

"So fast?" The emperor is even more at a loss, there should be something going on here, otherwise the prince would not have taken Cao Shouzhi away for no reason, and Anqinghou would not have searched for it door to door on the street.

"Biography!"

Hearing the emperor's order, there was movement outside the house, and it was a moment. I saw a few people carrying a wheelchair in.

It's Cao Shouzhi! An Qinghou's whole person was a little tilted, of course he didn't want Cao Shouzhi to appear here.

Cao Shouzhi motioned to the eunuchs who carried him in, and the eunuchs lifted him up and put him on the ground, and Cao Shouzhi bowed to the emperor.

"Okay, the leg inconvenience is exempt from these." There was some pity in the emperor's loving voice, "Sitting in a wheelchair to reply to my words." ”

"Whoa." Cao Shouzhi was carried back to the wheelchair by the eunuchs.

King Qin next to him saw that An Qinghou was about to collapse, and took advantage of the emperor's inattention, so he made a look in his eyes to remind him to calm down.

An Qinghou took a deep breath, adjusted his feelings, and suddenly rushed to Cao Shouzhi's side, "Zhi'er, are you okay?" I'm really worried about my uncle's death. ”

Cao Shouzhi's cold eyes swept over An Qinghou's hypocritical face, and said coldly: "Lord Hou is polite, the prince saved me, if there is no prince, I am afraid I will have to live that kind of life is worse than death." ”

Cao Shouzhi's words made An Qinghou want to rush up several times to cover his mouth, and turned his back to the emperor's An Qinghou, looking at Cao Shouzhi at this moment, there was only fierceness and intimidation in his eyes.

Cao Shouzhi turned a blind eye, turned his face directly, and did not make eye contact with An Qinghou's eyes.

Everyone present heard his words, and the emperor's expression began to change a little, "What's the matter?" He scolded sharply.

An Qinghou turned around slowly, he couldn't find any perfect words to defend himself.

"Your Majesty, my grandfather was worried that the villain would be framed by a traitor in the Hou Mansion, so he bought a house for the villain outside and sent someone to serve him, and his life was not bad. But since the death of his grandfather, Hou Ye replaced all the people in Cao's mansion with his people, and they forced the villain to do things for them, and if they didn't do it, they would suffer from whipping. Cao Shouzhi said, and then pulled the clothes on his arm, revealing the purple bruises on his arms.

The emperor frowned, "Who beat you?" ”

"It was the people sent by the Hou Ye, and they said that they were instructed by the Marquis of Anqing to lock me in the cellar, and if I didn't help them, I would whip the villain." The Hou Ye in Cao Shouzhi's mouth naturally refers to the Hou of Anqing, and everyone understands this.

The emperor looked at An Qinghou with an angry expression, and An Qinghou was so frightened that his legs and feet fell to his knees. (To be continued.) )
