That night, Fang Siqi had a rare insomnia.

The emperor summoned himself at this point in time, and it was difficult not to let Fang Siqi think of her calculating the nobles of Qin.

Did someone complain to the emperor, or did the emperor send someone to follow him?

How will I deal with the emperor tomorrow?

Fang Siqi thought about it all night, but he didn't think of a perfect wording. She was very uncertain, and even had a premonition that she would be destroyed.

Early the next morning, when Lime came over to wait for Fang Siqi to get up, Fang Siqi had already dressed up.

"Master, what are you?"

Lime looked at the packed box on the table, and her heart tightened.

This kind of situation Lime had seen when Fang Siqi got married. At that time, the master said that something might happen when she got married, so she planned to escape.

Now...

Fang Siqi looked tired, even the thick powder didn't cover the dark green under her eyes.

"You can help me keep these things first." Fang Siqi looked at the lime and said angrily, "If I can't come out of the palace today, you can open this box." ”

Fang Siqi pointed to one of the small boxes and said, "I left a letter inside, remember to open it when the time comes." ”

"Yes, master." Lime blinked, confused, but agreed.

When Fang Siqi entered the palace, she brought a folded lantern, a pair of tangrams, and two letters written to her by Shen Zhongchen.

If this is the end of your life, with them by your side, the end of your life is not too bad.

Fang Siqi entered the palace very early, and the emperor didn't have time to see her.

Fang Siqi took out the tangram to kill time.

It's amazing how many different patterns can be put together by a few pieces.

I still remember that when Fang Siqi first got this tangram, because he didn't put together the right pattern, a piece of the tangram was missing. Fang Siqi still wondered at the time, everything was here, why a piece was missing out of thin air.

After Shen Zhongchen knew about this, he was very patient to teach her to reassemble it. But Fang Siqi didn't want to admit that she was stupid, so she deliberately hid a piece to embarrass him.

Shen Zhongchen obviously knew what was going on, but he fought very cooperatively for a few hours, and finally said with annoyance that he couldn't spell it right.

Recalling Shen Zhongchen's expression of surrender, Fang Siqi's heart warmed. She looked at the clear blue sky and thought casually, Shen Zhongchen was really a very beautiful person.

I wish I had a chance to see him again.

In the upper study, the emperor called the prince of Chu and the prince of Yan to him, "Fourth, seventh, what do you two think about the Lingnan ink corruption case?" ”

"Father, this is what the sons and daughters don't know much," Xuanyuan Yi said, "The fifth brother went to Lingnan two years ago to control the water, maybe you can find him to understand the situation." ”

The emperor's eyes rolled, and then he looked at Xuanyuan Chen, "Old Seven, what do you think?" ”

"Back to my father, my son thinks that this matter should be strictly investigated." Xuanyuan Chen said, "Greed is a taboo for officials. Officials in this area of Lingnan were greedy for the money allocated by the imperial court to build water conservancy in Lingnan, which led to a large flood in Lingnan the year before last, killing and injuring tens of thousands of people. If it is not strictly handled, it is really difficult to give an explanation to the people. ”

"Really?" The emperor's expression was obscure, making it impossible to understand his attitude.

"Father, there was a big flood in Lingnan, and the Lingnan officials concealed it and did not report it, if it wasn't for the refugees entering Beijing, this matter would not have been noticed by the father." Xuanyuan Chen continued, "Father, if the Lingnan officials are not severely punished this time, and other local officials will follow suit, and everyone will deceive their superiors and subordinates, how will my father govern Great Xia in the future?" ”

The emperor frowned, "Fourth, what do you think about this?" ”

"Father Qiqi," Xuanyuan Yi still didn't plan to take the lead, "The people of Lingnan are not aware of the disaster. ”

"Fourth brother, the refugees affected by the disaster in Lingnan have poured into Beijing, and the whole capital is discussing this matter, so you haven't heard any news?"

When the emperor heard this, he also stared at Xuanyuan Yi.

Xuanyuan Yi was calm, "Fifth brother, the imperial brother is not as well-informed as you, and he can see and listen to all directions. ”

"Heh, could it be that the fourth brother lives in a lonely city, and he can't even meet a single person?" Xuanyuan Chen directly scolded back, "The people are most concerned about this kind of thing about people's livelihood, is it possible that no one asks you to help make the decision?" ”

"Nope." Xuanyuan Yi returned directly.

"If not, then the imperial brother will have to think about why!" Xuanyuan Chen said, "After all, the people have rods and scales in their hearts, and they know who can make decisions for them." ”

Xuanyuan Yi: "What does the seventh brother mean by this, that is, you are very loved by the people?" ”

Xuanyuan Chen: "Fourth brother, don't wronged me, my brother didn't say much." ”

"Where did I wronged you for my brother?" Xuanyuan Yi said, "Didn't you just say that whoever can make decisions for the people will be found by the people." Now that the people are looking for you, doesn't that mean you can make decisions for them? ”

Xuanyuan Yi: "Seventh brother, I didn't expect to see you for a few days, your face is already so big." Before my father could speak, you should first respond to the request of the people. Have you still seen your father in your eyes? ”

"Fourth brother, don't wronged me," Xuanyuan Chen retorted, "If the people want to find someone to call the shots, they are naturally looking for their father, where is my turn." ”

Xuanyuan Chen said to the emperor, "Father, the sons are just expressing their thoughts for the people, and asking the father to decide." ”

The emperor looked at the two princes kneeling on the ground without saying a word.

These two children have always been his favoritism, so after making them kings, he also let them stay in the capital.

However.

The emperor's eyes gathered, and he was not angry.

"I'm so disappointed in you."

Xuanyuan Yi and Xuanyuan Chen raised their heads nervously, only to see the ruler on the emperor's desk flying towards them, grazing Xuanyuan Yi's shoulder, and then falling to the ground.

"Especially you, fourth."

"I have high hopes for you, but as a result, you don't care about the political affairs of the DPRK and China at all, you waste time and energy all day long on the relationship between children and daughters, and even get entangled with married women! Fourth, don't forget, you are the prince, the prince of Chu in the current Great Xia Dynasty, if you dare to do something unethical, I will pass you on to Prince Li. Since then, I have not had a son like you! ”

"Erchen doesn't dare!" Xuanyuan Yi hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

"You'd better not dare!" The emperor snorted coldly, "You step back first, and when you put your heart away, you will come to see me again." ”

Xuanyuan Yi moved his lips, trying to defend himself, but in the end he turned silent.

When he came out of the study, Xuanyuan Yi squeezed the fist in his hand, and his heart was full of surprise.

Father, the emperor, even sent someone to monitor him.

Damn it!

Xuanyuan Chen, who was left behind, was thinking about the emperor's sentence that Xuanyuan Yi was entangled with a married woman. Hasn't the fourth brother been taking care of Yuan Yingying, who is pregnant, recently? Who are you still pestering with?

Just when Xuanyuan Chen was thinking about it, the emperor's voice sounded coldly,

"What are you thinking? Counting your royal brother again? ”
