Chapter 278: Deliberately
It's good to be back, and he feels that he will have the opportunity to contact her again in the future.
The second prince thinks very well, anyway, even if the prince and the two of them come back, they can't catch the evidence of his crime, and they don't know how he does it on weekdays, so no matter what, he just needs to do his own thing, and the attitude of not knowing it may not be a thing for him.
But even if he thinks so, some things still develop a little beyond the expectations of the second prince. For example, the emperor suddenly summoned him to the palace.
Since the last time he begged his father to give him the crown prince as soon as possible, he has not been alone with the emperor much, and he just deals with his own affairs every day.
Even if the prince and the two of them suddenly come back and escape from death, there is no actual evidence to prove that he is related to this matter, and there is no way to ask him for guilt or anything like that.
So the second prince of this meeting also didn't understand what the emperor's actions were trying to express, what was this to let him enter the palace to talk about?
The second prince was entangled in this matter on the way to the palace, and he didn't find any signs that he had something to do with him, but the emperor summoned him to the palace, so what did his father want to do?
After thinking about it, I still can't figure out the emperor's thoughts.
The second prince only thought that his father wanted to enter the palace to test himself, so he didn't take this matter to heart, until he really went to the palace and stood face to face with his father, he felt a pressure overflowing from the bottom of his heart.
As soon as he entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, after giving his father a salute, he heard the sound of the vicissitudes of life of the person opposite ringing in his ears, and when he looked at it again, he was about to be frightened.
The father is looking at himself with a pair of suspicious eyes, his eyes are very sharp, and the second prince does not dare to take the initiative to go to his father on weekdays, not to mention that at this time, the prince's matter has just been settled, and he intends to thoroughly investigate the key points of the relevant personnel, and the second prince has to move such a thought.
The current father is specially calling himself to test it.
The next move of the emperor confirmed his idea.
After the emperor watched him enter the Heart Cultivation Palace, he was not in a hurry to say anything, but just stayed quietly aside, looking at him with cold eyebrows, staring at him until he was about to lose his footsteps, and suddenly heard him say to himself, "What have you been busy with all this time?"
When the second prince heard this, he just responded casually.
"Erchen has been staying in the mansion and hasn't gone out much to deal with other things, and the prince was not there before, so I helped him deal with some things in his mansion.
"Oh?
The second prince originally wanted to play a trick when he said this, so that the emperor would not always stare at him in this matter
He did try to get in touch with the prince's forces when he was away, after all, at that time he was sure that the prince was done playing, he was dead, and he had no chance to fight against him again, but the people under him were still there, whether it was the people who supported him in the officialdom or the people he himself had taken under his command, the second prince wanted everyone.
This is also what he tried so hard to achieve.
I thought that everything was in full swing and smooth sailing, but I didn't think that as soon as those people's thoughts were shaken, the news of the prince's return to the city spread, and he didn't even have a chance to fight back.
Besides, the hearts of those who originally followed the prince belonged to him, and there was no way to pay attention to this and that with him, the original thought was shaken, and it was also to see that the prince really couldn't come back, and if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in this city, he could only follow the heart of the second prince. As soon as the prince came back, they naturally wanted to stabilize their original state.
The second prince actually told the truth, that is, the bamboo basket was empty.
But these actions fell on the ears and eyes of others, and they were inevitably suspicious.
The emperor looked at the second prince on the side, he really never thought that there was such great ambition in this son.
He called him here today, indeed because he doubted him in his heart, suspected that he was aimed at the crown prince, and suspected that his eyes were on the throne.
As a prince, it is understandable to have such thoughts, but the mutilation of his siblings really makes him a little unbearable, not to mention that it is still his favorite son.
As soon as he thought of this, the emperor felt very unbearable to the second prince next to him, he originally looked down on this son very much, he was flamboyant every day, he didn't do anything serious at all, his ability was not as good as the prince's, and he only knew cynicism when he encountered trouble.
There is no imperial appearance at all.
But he still coveted everything that didn't belong to him in his heart, and in order to prevent him from causing more harm to the prince, he had to suppress his arrogance.
"Where were you when the prince had an accident?
The second prince didn't expect the emperor to ask this so bluntly, even if he wanted to refute it in his heart, or argue a few words for himself, but now he knew that there was no chance, he could only bow down, look at the emperor, and say what he thought of in his heart.
"Back to my father's words, the son stayed in the palace at that time and didn't go anywhere."
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help grinning, "You said you didn't leave the mansion?" Are you sure?"
In order to prevent the emperor from pointing the finger at him, the second prince naturally nodded and said that he was like this, and did not leave the house.
"Back to my father, my son has really been staying in the palace all the time, and I don't know about the prince.
"Oh? Don't know about the prince? But how did I hear about the rumors about the crown prince in the palace, and I heard it from you? You don't have to defend yourself, the concubines in the palace have all said about it!
The second prince was indisputable for a while, and only said that he was just hearsay.
The emperor didn't go to him, he knew his son's heart, and he was used to the tricks he used, but since things had developed here, there was no evidence at hand to deal with him, and all he could do now was to beat him, so that he could keep his memory for a long time, and don't add chaos to the palace in the future.
"I hope this matter has nothing to do with you, but you also have to know that there are rumors in the palace sometimes, which may not be a good thing, you and the crown prince are both my sons, what I hope in my heart is to see that your brothers are harmonious, not to have so many entanglements, let alone talk about fighting, do you know?
