"Ahh I'm very well-behaved in the prince's mansion, third uncle, you are also an official, but you can't listen to rumors. ”

I said seriously, then my eyes rolled, I blinked, and said with a smile: "Third uncle, if you are afraid that I will cause trouble for you, it is better to let me go back, otherwise I may really get into a big disaster one day, and I will be dragged into the water by Xue Fu, which is not good." ”

Xue Qingshan twisted a handful of beard on his chin, his face was light and breezy, and his face was full of smiles, which seemed to outsiders as if he was talking to his little girl, but this was not the case.

"You don't play some tricks on me, as the old saying goes, being smart is mistaken by being smart. Now that the court has changed, the elders are considering the next countermeasures, you had better be honest with me during this time, if you dare to poke out any basket for me, the old man will be the first to abolish you! ”

"It's a shame that you're still a third uncle, and you actually threatened me with my life, was your conscience eaten by dogs?!" I looked at him indignantly.

Xue Qingshan spread his hands indifferently, "Everything the old man does is for our Xue Mansion, whether it is despicable or inhumane, as long as it can achieve my goal, do these things still matter?" ”

I opened my mouth, but the words were still swallowed, he was for Xue Fu, and I asked for self-protection, the positions of the two were fundamentally different, what else could I say?

Xue Qingshan continued to laugh and said, "After you return to the Prince's Mansion, your life will continue as usual, and after the overall situation of the sect elders is settled, I will let people inform you that you should act like this." ”

"The third uncle arranged, then say this first, bye you!" I glared at him with disdain, and then asked the sedan chair to leave.

Along the way, he walked with Li Hanyan's sedan chair, and originally planned to go back to the prince's mansion, but suddenly someone caught up and passed the word, "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince, meet the princess, the emperor said that he has something to talk to His Royal Highness the Prince, please move the prince to the Qingtai Palace." ”

Li Hanyan nodded casually, glanced at this side, and then ordered a few people who carried the sedan chair and said, "Bring the crown princess back first." ”

When I returned to the Prince's Mansion, with the support of several maids, I finally returned to my dormitory, and asked Su Mu to help me take off the cumbersome clothes.

A large swelling on his ankle was exposed, and Su Mu exclaimed in fright on the spot: "Miss, didn't you go to the ancestor worship ceremony?" How...... How did you hurt your foot like this? ”

Yes, aren't you going to worship your ancestors and gods? How did you hurt yourself like this? In the end, I did it myself.

I grabbed the corner of the table with both hands, grinning for a while, "You don't care how it hurts, go find some medicine to reduce swelling and invigorate my blood, it hurts me......"

…………

The words are divided into two ends, and Li Hanyan's side is not much better.

He came to the imperial study of the Qingtai Hall and waited for a while, but he did not see the emperor's figure, and at this moment, a eunuch about thirty years old came running quickly.

This person has a white face and no hair, short and fat, looking from a distance, like a big bucket, since entering the imperial study, he pretended to be surprised, and said: "Prince, you must have waited for a long time, right?" Why don't you find a chair to sit down and wait, you must be tired of standing up, right? ”

This eunuch has been with the emperor for several years, Li Hanyan naturally recognized him, glanced at him, and said casually: "It's okay." ”

This eunuch is quite discerning, seeing that Li Hanyan's consciousness is erratic, he must have thought about it at this time, he chuckled and took a step forward, bowed his head, and said, "The emperor will need some lunch after changing clothes, and it will take some time." This matter is also to blame for the minion's inthoughtful thinking, and did not let people inform His Highness in advance, so that His Highness waited for so long in vain. ”

Li Hanyan's face was indifferent and unwavering, and he said calmly: "I'll wait." ”

I saw that the eunuch was secretly tongued, a pair of eyes were rolling and turning, he was ordered by the emperor to get some words out of Li Hanyan's mouth, but now he was a little helpless.

Li Hanyan's every answer was very brief, cherishing words like gold, and he didn't want to say more nonsense, he must have seen something, so he simply didn't pretend, "The emperor will be here later, Your Highness will prepare." ”

"Hmm."

As soon as Li Hanyan came down with his front foot, there were a few rough coughing sounds behind his back foot, and the person who came was the king of a country in the current dynasty.

The emperor entered the imperial study with gentle steps, and Li Hanyan immediately leaned over and saluted: "The son of the emperor to see his father." ”

"Haven't eaten yet?"

After the emperor sat down, he casually picked up a thick book of notebooks on the table and began to flip through them, without even raising his head, and he didn't mean to let Li Hanyan calm down.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the imperial study to wait after receiving the message, and he didn't even have time to enter the door of the Prince's Mansion, so he really didn't eat." The beardless eunuch next to him replied courteously.

The emperor glanced at him coldly: "I am talking to the prince, when will you have the right to speak!" ”

The eunuch looked frightened, hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed one by one, and said continuously: "The slave knows the crime, the slave deserves to die!" ”

"Get down!" The emperor shouted loudly, and after the eunuch left the imperial study with a crawl, the place fell into calm again.

"I don't know why my father summoned his sons?" Li Hanyan was the first to speak, he was still leaning over, and his eyes could only see the dark brown floor under his feet.

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "It's just on the Wugu Temple, what's going on?" ”

Li Hanyan sneered in his heart, he had already guessed that the emperor had summoned him over for this matter, and immediately wrote lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that there were some quarrels, and I accidentally fell." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, and a trace of anger appeared on the dragon's face, "Where are you the Five Grain Temple?" Is this where the two of you quarrel?! As the crown prince, your own woman fell and didn't even step forward to help you, how do you want the officials to look at you? How do you want the world to think of me?! They will say that the prince is not virtuous, and they will say that I have no way to discipline him! ”

Li Hanyan arched his hand and said, "Erchen's fault." ”

The emperor, who wanted to vent his thoughts, rarely saw this son obediently admit his mistake, and he didn't know what words to say about him for a while, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke: "There is such a thing in Wugu Temple, there is blasphemy, this matter can be big or small, Xue Zhimo is now your crown princess, her fault should be borne by you, do you have anything to say?" ”

"Erchen doesn't dare." Li Hanyan complimented.

The emperor didn't expect this son to be so deferential today, and immediately lost much temper, waved his hand, and said: "In a while, it will be the autumn harvest season, and then you will lead the crown princess to the mortal farmland to harvest to make up for this sin." And now let me stay in the temple, and come out tomorrow morning! ”

"The retainers take the order." Li Hanyan straightened up again, bowed his hand and bowed before turning to leave, the expression on his cold and silent face was still the same, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

The eunuch who was dismissed by the emperor just now hid at the foot of a big tree in the distance, and hurriedly ran over after seeing Li Hanyan's figure: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor didn't take you, right?" ”

Li Hanyan chuckled lightly and said, "Let the palace go to the temple and kneel." ”

The eunuch looked worried, "You said that you can honestly admit your mistake to the emperor, why bother yourself so much?" ”

Li Hanyan glanced up at him, with a hint of sneer in his expression, and said, "Are you teaching me to do things?" ”

The eunuch was shocked, hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and said, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

"I, Li Han, are no better than other princes, and your tricks won't work with me." Li Hanyan snorted coldly and had already walked down the steps of the Qingtai Palace.

There was only a slightly thin back left, and the wide square in front of the hall was deserted, and he was alone.

Arrogant, indifferent, as if everything was in his calculations.

After his death, the former queen (eldest grandson Yiyang) died of illness, he resolutely moved out of the East Palace and chose to establish a mansion outside the palace to develop his own power.

The open and secret struggle between father and son, and the deceit between brothers, have become an indispensable drama for him over the years.

The eunuch sighed lightly, turned around and walked towards the imperial study, but before he could take two steps, he was stopped by a person behind him: "Gonggong Liu." ”

This person is the third prince Li Qingqiu, at this time he has changed into a light silver-patterned robe, his eyebrows and eyes are docile, and he is gentle and humble.

"The slave has seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

Li Qingqiu hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal that he didn't have to kneel down and salute, "Father-in-law doesn't need to be polite, it was the prince Hanyan who went out of the imperial study just now?" ”

Gonggong Liu glanced in the direction where Li Hanyan left and said, "It is indeed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

"Father summoned him this time, but because of what happened in the Wugu Temple today?"

He acted as if he was asking casually, as if he was discussing today's weather.

But the posture of vowing to get to the bottom of the matter can't hide the "discerning eyes" of Gonggong Liu, and I want to compare it to Li Hanyan's moderation and forbearance, which other princes can't learn.

"The third prince can guess one or two, so why ask the old slave?" Gonggong Liu's smile had a deep meaning, as if he was answering the question of the third prince in disguise.

"At that time, the incident happened suddenly, and no one could react, I just hope that my father will not be hurt by this matter."

Father-in-law Liu naturally knew what he meant, just to know the emperor's attitude towards this matter, and whether he also punished the prince and the princess.

He thought about it carefully, even if he didn't say it himself, it would definitely spread in the future, and he simply didn't hide it, just as he sold the favor of the three princes, and he could have one more way back in the future.

He lowered his voice and said, "I wasn't in there just now, so I don't know much, but now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be kneeling in the Taimiao at this time, and I heard that I can't leave until tomorrow morning." ”

"Huh? How could my father be like this, alas, but the poor prince has not eaten a bite of food since the morning, but he still has to take the blame for his own woman and kneel for a day, just afraid that he will starve him. ”

Li Qingqiu almost laughed when he heard this, but because there was someone in front of him, he couldn't act too explicitly, so he had to cough dryly twice, and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go over and take a look later, he is lonely and boring." ”

Gonggong Liu nodded and said, "After a while, the old slave will go to the prince's mansion to inform the princess, and ask her to prepare some warm robes for the prince and send them over, the wind and cold in the province will be cold at night." ”
