Chapter 470: Rush to the Heart
When Xiao Hanyin received the emperor's command, he was very helpless.
However, the construction of the river embankment is already on the right track, and the emperor has already sent someone to take over the matter.
There's no way they're going to stay here forever.
"I thought we could stay in Chuzhou for ten days and a half months, but I didn't expect the emperor to be so anxious!" Liu Qingshao sighed.
"Maybe something happened in the Imperial City, otherwise the emperor would never have asked us to go back in such a hurry!" A trace of worry flashed in Xiao Hanyin's eyes.
"Don't think about it, let's talk about it when we get back!" Anyway, they must go back to the Imperial City.
"Hmm!" Xiao Hanyin packed his luggage with Liu Qingshao that night.
Subsequently, he found his confidants and ordered the two of them to continue to stay in Chuzhou, wait for the people sent by the emperor to come over, personally hand over the matter of building the river embankment to the other party, and then rush back to the imperial city.
The emperor couldn't wait any longer and ordered them to leave immediately.
Therefore, Xiao Hanyin couldn't wait for the officials sent by the emperor to come to Chuzhou and leave after handing over to him.
So, he simply left his two henchmen.
They are very clear about the current situation in Chuzhou, and now there is nothing dangerous in Chuzhou, they have left enough......
The next morning, the couple left Chuzhou with Han Feng and other subordinates.
They traveled day and night, and finally returned to the imperial city after seven days.
After Xiao Hanyin and his wife arrived, they did not go back immediately, but went directly into the palace.
"See the emperor!" Xiao Hanyin knelt on the ground and said.
"Xiao Aiqing is flat!" Seeing his obviously thinner figure, the emperor's eyes were dyed with a trace of warmth.
They are really working for the court, and they never care about rewards and power, and only do what they think they should do.
"Your Majesty is in a hurry to summon Weichen back, but what happened in the imperial city?" Xiao Hanyin looked at the sorrow between his eyebrows, and a trace of worry surged in his heart.
"A few days ago, someone saw a person in the imperial city who looked very much like King Liang!" The emperor directly told Xiao Hanyin what the secret guard had reported to him.
"The emperor means that the second prince is in the imperial city?" Xiao Hanyin finally knew why he was in a hurry and called them back from Chuzhou.
"That's right, I want you to find out his whereabouts for yourself!" The emperor ordered.
"Wechen obeys!" Hearing this, Xiao Hanyin immediately agreed.
It is not a good thing for them that the second prince is alive, and now many people in the court hope that he will disappear.
"Be sure to find out where he is as soon as possible!" The emperor said.
"Yes!" After Xiao Hanyin agreed, he went back to the house.
Liu Qingshao learned what happened, and also sent a lot of people out to find the whereabouts of the second prince.
At the same time, Xiao Hanyin also replaced the people guarding the city gate.
He didn't want to give the second prince a chance to leave the imperial city.
No matter why he came back this time, Xiao Hanyin would not let him live.
However, after Xiao Hanyin mobilized all the manpower he could use to check on him, he found nothing.
Even so, he still firmly believed that the second prince was hiding in a corner of the imperial city.
"Ah Yin, our current actions are only afraid that they will alarm the second prince!" Liu Qingshao's gaze condensed slightly.
They used so many people in the Imperial City to find out a person who might have a disguise, and it would not lead to anything good at all......
"Now, the city gate has been replaced by His Royal Highness's henchmen, even if the second prince is really there, he can't get out!" Xiao Han hooked his lips and said.
After listening to his words, Liu Qingshao put aside the anxiety in her heart for the time being.
At this time, Xiao Hanchen, who had been far away in Jiangnan, brought excellent good news.
After so many long inspections and adventures, he finally found out the situation in that mountain.
Everything is just as Xiao Hanyin guessed, there are thousands of people living in the deep mountains, and they are all private soldiers raised by King Cheng, all of whom are skilled in martial arts, and most of them can defeat one hundred enemies.
Xiao Hanchen was almost found several times and died in the hands of the other party.
It was entirely his ingenuity that he was able to escape.
When the emperor got the news, he wanted to order him to wipe out those people.
In fact, when he sent Xiao Yifeng to Jiangnan, he had already arranged everything with Xiao Hanyin.
Sending him to Jiangnan to recuperate was just an excuse for them.
The two brothers were going to become kings from the beginning.
Jiangnan is the lair of the king, and now that there is finally evidence, how can the emperor not be happy.
"Ah Yin, can the eldest brother deal with those masters under King Cheng?" After Liu Qingshao heard the news from his mouth, she was extremely worried.
"It's naturally impossible for the eldest brother to be alone, but the emperor has already sent soldiers over!" When Xiao Hanyin and Xiao Hanchen were communicating, they already had a general understanding of the situation over there.
At that time, he had also gone to that mountain to investigate, and he was quite clear about some of the conditions inside.
So, Xiao Hanyin deliberately asked Han Feng to make a lot of medicine and ordered someone to bring it to Xiao Hanchen.
Those pills can save lives when it matters most.
When Xiao Hanchen was secretly fighting with King Cheng's men in Jiangnan, Xiao Hanyin finally found some clues about the second prince.
He found that the other party seemed to have been to the Zhihe Tea House.
However, if the second prince dares to appear blatantly in the imperial city, he must have done something in his appearance.
Xiao Han was afraid that he had wronged a good person, so he kept sending his own secret guards to guard around the Zhihe Teahouse.
That person had been following him and had seen the second prince many times, so even if the other party was really disguised, he could see it...... Romance 888
"Master, my subordinates have been guarding the teahouse for a few days, but I haven't seen anyone similar to the second prince appear, but the staff under the prince's door often goes to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to books!" He felt that this matter was a little strange, so he simply reported it to Xiao Hanyin.
"The Prince's staff?" Xiao Han's eyes flashed.
"My subordinates made a special inquiry, and found that this white boy had to go over almost every two or three days, and he didn't do anything except drink tea and listen to books!" He said truthfully.
Hearing this, Xiao Hanyin waved his hand and let him go down.
The whereabouts of this white boy are a little mysterious, and Xiao Hanyin decided to check him.
So, he ordered someone to sneak into the teahouse quietly, be a buddy inside, and keep an eye on the white boy carefully.
Xiao Hanyin's actions have not been hidden from Liu Qingshao, so she knows everything.
Two days later, Bai Gongzi went to the teahouse again, and Xiao Hanyin's subordinates found that when he went to the thatched house, he had bumped into a person.
The man apologized and left, which seemed to be extremely normal, but he found that when Bai Gongzi turned to leave, there was something more in his palm......
Xiao Hanyin's eyes were cold, and he decided to investigate in person, the person who hit him in the backyard of the teahouse.
As a result, the man was never seen again after leaving the teahouse.
Although he failed to catch the other party, Xiao Hanyin confirmed that Bai Gongzi did not really go to the prince at all, and his master had someone else.
So, Xiao Han privately told the prince the news.
Now, they are still very indifferent on the surface, and they look like they are not relieved about what happened before, and they have deceived many people.
Since Xiao Hanyin came back, he didn't take the initiative to see the prince at all, and the two didn't say a word except for basic etiquette when they met.
In the eyes of others, it is as if they have already broken up.
Although everyone had doubts about this, they didn't dare to ask, for fear of touching the prince's moldy head......
After the prince and Xiao Hanyin exchanged news, the two of them all set their eyes on Bai Gongzi.
The appearance of this person is clearly a game, but fortunately the prince did not reuse him, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
In the following days, Xiao Hanyin kept checking on him, but unfortunately this person did not leak anything.
No matter how many people Xiao Hanyin sent to stare at him secretly, they never caught him.
Xiao Hanyin and the crown prince decided to find a way to design him and let him reveal his flaws.
After Liu Qingshao knew their plan, she felt that the people behind the scenes, once they found that Bai Gongzi was useless, they were afraid that they would abandon this chess piece.
However, she didn't say this directly, but secretly reminded Xiao Hanyin.
After some deployment, the crown prince deliberately told Wushuang the news that the emperor was not in good health and that he would die soon.
In fact, the emperor's health is not bad, but a few days ago, he was in a hurry and suddenly vomited blood.
After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, he was allowed to recuperate with peace of mind.
It's a pity that there are many things in the court, even if the prince shares his worries, he can't stop for a moment.
There was news from the palace that the emperor coughed up blood again last night.
Very few people knew about this matter, and in order not to cause panic, they directly suppressed the news.
However, in order to lure the snake out of the hole, the prince deliberately revealed the news to his pillow person.
This is also a chance for him to give himself and Wushuang.
Even if she doesn't love him as much as she imagined, as long as her heart is toward her, he can pursue nothing......
A few days later, the prince was keenly aware of the appearance of several unfamiliar faces in his palace, and the number of times Bai Gongzi went out became more and more frequent.
These princes deliberately turned a blind eye and pretended to be very busy.
The next day, when the crown prince went to the court, he angered the emperor because of the salt tax, and he was reprimanded in public.
The crown prince knelt down and listened to the emperor's reprimand, but even so, the emperor was still stunned on the spot.
The salt tax has always been one of the most important things for the emperor, and it was previously managed by the crown prince.
As a result, there was a big mistake this time, so that there was no remedy at all.
The emperor's health was not good, and after being stunned, the prince quickly carried the person out of the court.
Other ministers have a lot of talk about it......
The news of the emperor's serious illness spread far and wide, and the important ministers of the court wanted to visit, but they were all turned away by the prince.
They were very dissatisfied with this, after all, the emperor was stunned by the crown prince, and he did this clearly to prevent others from seeing the emperor.
"You said that the prince did this, could it be that he couldn't wait to be the emperor?"
"If you say such a big rebellion, how can you say it at will, you should be careful in the future!"
"What I said is from my heart, the prince's behavior has become more and more impetuous recently, which is very different from before!"
"So what, he is the emperor's personal heir!"
“……”
There were many ministers in the court who did not understand the prince's behavior and were quite dissatisfied with him.
However, the prince has always insisted on going his own way, not caring about other people's opinions at all, and even openly handled the twists and turns for the emperor, looking like he wanted to monopolize the dictatorship.
Half a month later, the courtiers still couldn't see the emperor, and some people couldn't sit still.
If this continues, the crown prince will definitely be the next emperor.
So the people who are secretly ready to move are ready to do it!
On this day, when the crown prince was taking care of him in the emperor's palace to drink medicine, the father and son had a dispute again.
"How dare you imprison me, you are really my good son?" The emperor said with a disappointed face.
"My father clearly said before that he would pass on the throne to me, and then he would be the emperor himself, but now my father has not fulfilled his promise, and his son has no choice but to use his own methods to get the throne!" The prince sneered.
