The emperor's seemingly casual questioning made the prince suddenly shake.

In the next second, the prince only felt that his scalp was instantly numb......

What does his father mean when he asks him?

Could it be that my father noticed something and began to doubt himself?

But how is this possible?

It is no longer a matter of a day or two to send someone to report to me the content of the early dynasty.

I have been careful and cautious with that person all along, and my father shouldn't be aware of it!

But now it is impossible for my father to ask himself this for no reason.

Could it be that something else happened in the early dynasty just now that I didn't know?

Shouldn't his henchmen expose any flaws in front of his father?

If that's the case, I'm in a very dangerous situation now!

I also blamed myself for being too impulsive today, why couldn't I bear to run to this Jinluan Hall to find my father?

Suddenly, the prince regretted his impulsive actions......

Now that the big thing has not been accomplished, why should he rush to his father to ask for credit?

I knew that he would solve the trouble of the old general after noon, and then report the matter directly to his father.

At that time, the father will be very happy to see that he has not only rescued Zuo Xiang but also greatly frustrated the old general's spirit, maybe he will not have time to think too much, then he will not be as suspicious of himself as he is now!

The crown prince always knew that his father was a person with a very serious suspicion.

It is precisely because of this that the crown prince has been trying his best to hide his ambitions in front of his father.

Not long ago, the reason why he wanted to seek a dynasty and usurp the throne against his father and emperor so that he could seek a chance to ascend the throne was also because the crown prince knew his father too well......

Position of power is probably more important than anything else in the eyes of his father!

So as long as his father still has a breath of air, his own crown prince will always be useless!

Even if he has ambitions, he can only endure and pretend that he has no interest in government politics.

Because the crown prince knows very well that once he shows even the slightest interest in court politics, his father will definitely be extremely jealous of him and even find a way to abolish his position as crown prince!

Before entering the palace today, the prince was full of thoughts about how to deal with the old general......

But now he suddenly reacted that the person he should be most wary of dealing with may not be the old general, but his own father!

This biological father emperor who only has father and son for him, but does not have much father-son affection......

And now looking at his father's appearance, the prince suddenly retreated in his heart......

If he told his father what he had done at this time, would it cause more dissatisfaction with his father?

He knew very well how suspicious his father was.

It is precisely because of this that he never dared to show any interest in the government in front of him.

But today, he was so excited that he slipped out!

If his sensitive and suspicious father knew that he had sent his henchmen to report to him what happened in the early dynasty every day, I am afraid that his father would be angry and directly abolish his position as the crown prince!

The crown prince originally thought that he would immediately tell his father that he had solved the trouble of the old general, and that his father would be happy.

But he forgot that there is something about the old general, which can be regarded as a matter of government and politics strictly speaking!

Although he helped his father solve the trouble, but in case his father felt that he was more jealous of interfering in the affairs of the court and politics without authorization.

Isn't it because of a small loss?

The old general is the trouble of his father, as the crown prince, by the time he inherits the throne, maybe the old general will be dead!

Suddenly, the crown prince regretted his eagerness to deal with the old general.

Even if he is the crown prince of the White Tiger Country, he is the next emperor.

But after all, the person who sits on the throne now is still the father......

As the saying goes, seek its own government in its position......

He just wanted to prove himself in front of his father, but he forgot that this trouble should have been solved by his father.

If his hand stretches too long, even if he solves the trouble for his father, it attracts his father's suspicion and jealousy, then won't he gain more than he loses?

What's more, even if he really solves the trouble that his father can't solve, will his father feel that he has lost face?

The father values face so much, if he makes him feel a little embarrassed, then won't he be finished?

However, now, the old general's daughter-in-law and two daughters have cooperated with him and are hidden by him.

Even if he regretted it, there was no way back.

Ready to fly......

And now, the father suddenly asked himself how he knew when his early dynasty ended!

How do you answer yourself?

That's right!

Raising his head weakly, the prince was obviously lacking in confidence but replied stubbornly: "Tell my father...... When Erchen entered the palace, he happened to meet the eunuch who was waiting by his father's side, and Erchen asked him where you are, and he said...... At this time, you haven't gone down to the court, so Erchen found it directly here! ”

After finishing speaking, the prince couldn't help but praise his wit.

It's impossible for my father to go to the servants who are waiting around him to verify this matter for a really trivial matter, right?

However, the crown prince did not expect that the emperor's expression froze after listening to him, and then his expression became more solemn and more elusive, and asked, "Oh? The eunuchs who served by my side? Prince, are you referring to Gonggong Li? ”

Gonggong Li......

Isn't that the queen mother put on her father's side, and the father-in-law who is most trusted and favored by his father!

Right!

Let's just say it's him......

In this way, even if his father came to him on a whim to check this matter, he would help Gonggong Li to speak for himself!

The prince, who thought that his blind cat had met a dead mouse, hurriedly nodded like garlic and said, "Yes, yes, it's Gonggong Li...... Erchen happened to meet him just now, he said that you are here, and Erchen wanted to see his father for the first time, so he came directly! ”

Seeing that the prince really said that it was Gonggong Li, the emperor suddenly understood in his heart......

He looked at the prince with cold and indifferent eyes, then pulled the corners of his mouth to reveal an emotionless sneer, deliberately aggravated his voice, and asked, "Gonggong Li?" Are you sure you met Grandpa Li? ”

The crown prince, who originally thought that everything was seamless, suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart when he saw the emperor's expression.

All of a sudden, the prince suddenly stopped talking......

Just when the crown prince was nervous and didn't know how to respond to the emperor's question, the emperor saw that the prince's reaction had confirmed his conjecture even more.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the prince with an indistinct expression, and quietly changed the topic in a voice that could not hear any tone, and asked, "The prince seems to be in a good mood, but what happy things happened?" ”
