Chapter 160: Provocation

Palace.

And the sentence "the mountain rain is coming" just happened to imprint the scene.

Today, it was a rare thunderstorm.

It was late October, and at this moment, Qianyang City had already felt a strong winter atmosphere.

Ren Tingyou was in the carriage until he heard the sound at the palace gate, and he suddenly woke up like a big dream.

In his mind, he circled his performance in Saicheng like a flower, and was surprised to find that he seemed to have only one victory, and the rest of the time, it seemed to be in a trough, and he was beaten so much that he almost died in Qianyang City, and his mother was given death by his father, Ren Tingyou suddenly had a sense of sadness that was not easy to detect.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Due to Ren Tingyou's leg injury, the emperor specially ordered that Ren Tingyou could not go to the imperial study to face the saint, but directly moved into his own prince's palace in the palace, and it was always better to keep it in the palace.

Xie En's holy decree was written by Ren Tingyou, and at that time it was a burst of gratitude, but in fact, his heart was in turmoil, and he didn't know what the emperor meant, and Ren Tingyou didn't know whether it was good or bad at that time.

So far, the same is true for Ren Tingyou.

When facing Ren Qixiu just now, Ren Tingyou naturally had to show full arrogance, but now, Ren Tingyou has no bottom in his heart, so he doesn't dare to speak easily.

Looking at Ren Tingyou's obviously nervous clenched fists, Mo Qiu said to Ren Tingyou:

"My subordinates have not been in close contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time, and in the past, like others, when I looked at the prince from afar, I only felt that the prince seemed to be very confident in everything, but now it seems that this may not be the case."

Mo Qiu's eyes seemed to reveal carelessness, he looked at Ren Tingyou and said:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, has you always been so unconfident?"

"Why does this prince have no confidence to say." Ren Tingyou is used to being proud, even if he is very empty at the moment, he still does not forget to be strong.

Mo Qiu didn't say anything else, but opened his mouth and hit the key point of Ren Tingyou:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may wish to take a look at his hands."

Ren Tingyou lowered his head, and then smiled with relief:

"So, there really are some."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is afraid of the emperor?" Mo Qiu's question was very naïve, but he said it so directly.

"It's a distressed mother." Ren Tingyou may have had some friction with Jiang Guifei in the past because of the respective strengths of the two sides, but Jiang Guifei really died like this, and Ren Tingyou was really a little difficult to accept.

"In the future, the prince will be alone." Mo Qiu reminded.

"He can sit on the throne of Qi Xiu alone, I am the crown prince, and my mother was once an upright concubine, much less noble than his unsightly mother." Once Ren Tingyou mentioned Ren Qixiu, his tone was full of contempt.

"That's it." Mo Qiu seemed to be very happy, looking at Ren Tingyou's appearance that he could communicate quickly.

"Ahead is the Prince's Palace, the Crown Prince is ready."

"Of course." Ren Tingyou's head was raised again, he was injured in the battle, but he had to retreat due to his injury, compared to Ren Qixiu, who only knew that he was blessed in the capital, he Ren Tingyou was a hundred times more noble.

But it's a pity that Ren Tingyou was just in the carriage all the way, listening to the passing palace people shouting, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is good, Prince Ning is good." ”

But I don't know what kind of faces those people have changed when their team leaves.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been just a position.

Everyone is speculating whether the emperor will leave Ren Tingyou in the palace as a disguised detention, and whether Ren Tingyou still has a chance to turn over is everyone's bet.

The emperor is still on the other side.

Considering Ren Tingyou's body, the speed of the carriage was not fast along the way, and now that he is in the palace, it is even more so.

But Cao Yi, who was one step ahead, didn't have any burden, he didn't even take the carriage, but chose to ride the horse directly and neatly.

He is also very fearless.

"Weichen see the emperor." The time when he met the emperor was naturally much earlier than the other two.

"Get up." In the imperial study, the emperor, who knew that Ren Tingyou would arrive today, seemed to be in a good mood, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and the tone of his conversation with Cao Yi was also with a hint of cheerfulness.

Cao Yi has never seen such an emperor.

But I don't understand what the emperor is looking forward to.

No, the emperor has encountered something else.

But I don't know that it's more important to do what you're doing now.

"Weichen has finished patrolling the fields, this is a chapter, please read it to the emperor." Cao Yi handed over the paperwork, and the emperor nodded with satisfaction after simply reading it:

"Well, yes, you're doing a great job." The emperor said this, still with a smile on his face.

This made Cao Yi a little incomprehensible, and when he was questioning, the emperor suddenly asked him:

"This time, you came back with the prince?"

"Back to the emperor, Wechen bumped into the prince in the suburbs and was attacked, and the thief saw that Wechen was coming with someone, so he left."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to be very grateful, so he walked with Weichen."

When Cao Yi just faced Ren Qixiu, he didn't say that the prince was attacked, and Ren Tingyou's understanding of his current affairs automatically acquiesced to being closer to him than Ren Qixiu, it seems that Cao Yi is closer to him, Cao Yi's inadvertent move, whether it has shown that he is biased towards himself, Ren Tingyou is not sure, but he has a greater chance of winning in his heart.

Cao Yi's words are neither humble nor arrogant, and there is nothing unreasonable.

The emperor let out a faint "um", and then Cao Yi asked the emperor if there was anything wrong, but the emperor asked instead:

"What do you think, the prince?"

Whether this is a temptation or not, Cao Yi has no bottom in his heart, and he does not dare to answer rashly at this moment.

"It's okay, you're mine, just talk about it." The emperor is like this, he trusts Cao Yi very much, and he is also very considerate, and repeatedly shows that he will not be angry no matter what Cao Yi says, which makes Cao Yi hesitate again and again and finally speak.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is a strong man and can take on great responsibilities."

"You're bluffing." When the emperor heard Cao Yi's polite words, he raised his hand again and again and shook it at him:

"I want to hear it, but I'll tell you the truth."

was not satisfied with Cao Yi's answer, and the emperor was still waiting for his other opening.

"What Weichen said, every sentence is true." The emperor will never be able to catch the expression on Cao Yi's face, and no matter what he says, there will always be an inexplicable insipidity, and the emperor knows in his heart that he can't tell the truth from the fake at this moment.

"Okay, okay, you're tired, go back first." The emperor waved his hand and motioned for Cao Yi to step down.

"Wechen retired." When Cao Yi left, Gonggong Hao stepped forward unhurriedly and said to the emperor:

"Back to the emperor, now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has entered the palace and stayed in the Prince's Palace, I don't know if the emperor can go now."

"Let's go." The emperor nodded, he did not have the urge to ask someone to carry Ren Tingyou to the imperial study to see him, but still decided to take the initiative to go.

Since Father-in-law Hao reminded him so, it is just right to go at this moment.

As soon as he came out of the imperial study, the emperor looked at the people outside, and couldn't help but feel a trace of cold, maybe it was about to rain.

Gonggong Hao put a big coat on the emperor, and also raised his head to look at it, which is to persuade the emperor:

"Your Majesty, now that the weather is here, do you want to do it another day?"

"No, today, it's fine."

The emperor looked interested, and Gonggong Hao didn't dare to slack off, so he had to respond at this moment and walk with the emperor.

Towards the Prince's Palace.

"Son-in-law, see father." When the emperor arrived, it was already raining heavily, and now it was not yet eleven or February, according to the climate, it was only late autumn and early winter, and the weather in Qianyang City did not yet have snowflakes.

It's just that the heavy rain came violently, and even the emperor's body was inevitably contaminated.

Ren Tingyou was a coincidence, when the first drop of rain fell, he had already been carried into the house, and everything was prepared for the prince early, and the house was as warm as spring.

When the emperor walked in, Ren Tingyou had already heard the sound of rain outside, and at this moment, towards the emperor, Ren Tingyou's face was full of apologies:

"When the son returned to the palace, he even affected his father's cold hand, and the son really didn't want to go!"

"It doesn't matter." The emperor waved his hand and said to Ren Tingyou:

"You've worked hard this time."

Unexpectedly, the emperor really came to condolence Ren Tingyou, and by the way, he also glanced at Ren Qixiu on the side.

Just after Ren Tingyou was settled, Ren Qixiu had no intention of turning around and leaving.

Ren Tingyou glanced at the palace people around him, most of them were replaced by others, most of the people in the past were Jiang Guifei's henchmen, and now it seems that with the fall of Jiang Guifei, most of the people who stayed in the palace of Ren Tingyou can't keep it now, but he didn't say anything himself, but Ren Qixiu couldn't help but start some more unreasonable words to Ren Tingyou at this time.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't returned to the palace for a long time, but I'm a little surprised."

Ren Qixiu's words clearly have a hint of showing off, for Ren Qixiu, the most popular prince in the palace now should be himself, even if Ren Tingyou comes back and just looks at the eyes of those palace people, they don't have any respect for Ren Qixiu.

This is exactly what Ren Qixiu wants, but from just getting off the carriage to the present, Ren Tingyou didn't say a word, which made Ren Qixiu feel a little unhappy, what kind of status he is living now, he hasn't counted it in his own heart, and he even gave him a face, looking like a prince's arrogant look, and now he Ren Tingyou is just a person who has stepped under his feet.

So, Ren Qixiu finally couldn't help but take the initiative to provoke.

"In the place of the palace, the third brother Xu didn't go much, and the third brother didn't feel surprised, how could this prince have it, the third brother laughed." Ren Qixiu didn't understand, it was already today, what was Ren Tingyou still arrogant, he really didn't understand his own situation.

"You!" Ren Qixiu originally wanted to teach Ren Tingyou a good lesson, but he couldn't help it.

Instead, he sighed:

"Concubine Jiang left suddenly, and it was not decent, so when my father was angry, the people of the concubine and the concubine all accompanied the concubine, and I forgot to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of this matter, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be considerate."

Ren Qixiu's words caused the temperature in the entire Prince's Hall to drop to freezing in an instant.

Even the newly transferred palace people knew that Jiang Guifei was a topic that could not be mentioned, whether in the palace or in front of Ren Tingyou himself, but Ren Qixiu still refused to give up.

made everyone almost sweat, I don't know how Ren Tingyu will react to this.

Ren Tingyou was subconsciously stunned for a second, looking at Ren Qixiu's provocative look, he smiled back and said:

"I haven't dared to mention it all the time, I don't know where the third brother and concubine are, so that the mother and son will not be separated for many years."
