In the harem, Xiao Lian was lying on a chair, and a fishing rod was inserted diagonally next to the chair. The fishing line moved, but Xiao Lian turned a blind eye.

The emperor frowned and looked at Xiao Lian: "Are you here to accompany me fishing or sleeping?" ”

Xiao Lian lazily raised his eyelids, looked at the bucket full of fish piled up next to the emperor, and said, "The fish in this pond are all yours, what's the matter with me fishing?" ”

The emperor took back his rod and caught a fat and large carp. Zhu Shou hurriedly stepped forward, and took the carp off the hook with a smile on his face, and the fat carp kept swinging and throwing Zhu Shou in the face.

The emperor raised another pole high and threw it into the lake: "It doesn't matter whose pool he is, as long as he bites your bait, it will be your fish." ”

"But I have to be an angler, not the bait on the hook."

The emperor glanced at Xiao Lian and threw the fishing rod to Zhu Shou, and waved his hand: "What's the matter, angry?" ”

Zhu Shou glanced at the left and right with understanding, and led a group of eunuchs and ladies to retreat.

Xiao Lianpi looked at the emperor with a smile: "Don't dare." ”

"Hmph, why don't you dare. I will send Wang Ci's daughter to your house, and you will call your brother back. Obviously don't dare to resist the will, do you take my will seriously behind your back? ”

Xiao Lian sat up suddenly: "You shouldn't mess around with mandarin duck scores." ”

The emperor looked back at Xiao Lian: "As a prince, you can't be dedicated, you should focus on the overall situation." ”

"If you can't even make decisions for yourself, how can you make decisions for the world."

The emperor sighed: "You are too similar to me when I was young. The Wang clan had a profound influence on our dynasty, and more than half of the taxes paid by our dynasty were paid by the Wang family. Therefore, when the first emperor was in power, the Wang family had many elbows, and although the first emperor was angry, he did not dare to suppress it. When I was young, I didn't like the Wang family, so I refused the in-laws arranged for me by the emperor, and I took the risk of resisting the decree to marry the Pei family. Although he finally got his wish, Pei's life was depressed, and after giving birth to Yunchang, he finally abandoned me. You know, sometimes it's a relief to let go. ”

"But you shouldn't have killed her."

The emperor scooped a spoonful of bait and threw it into the lake: "Only in this way can you strengthen your mind." ”

"You're not afraid that I'll turn against you?"

Probably the first anti-thief had to greet the emperor before he reacted, and the emperor couldn't stop laughing with his beard: "Why are you opposed?" With your fifty soldiers? I wish you had turned against me, but you're still too tender. ”

"There's something Sun Erchen doesn't understand, I don't know if I can ask?"

"You ask."

"You asked Sun Erchen to go to Jixian County to serve Xiao Daoci's lair, why did you leave Xiao Yuanda and Xiao Wuyu?"

"Xiao Yuanda is a good general, I still need to use him."

"What about Xiao Wuyu? You should know that he is not really Xiao Wuyu. There are also ill intentions around you, why do you want to leave such a scourge? ”

The emperor said expressionlessly: "I said that he is Xiao Wuyu, and no one in this world dares to say that it is not." ”

Xiao Lian was even more puzzled: "Why? ”

"It's just a lost dog, so why be afraid." The emperor lowered his eyes slightly: "What's more, in terms of medical skills, he is no worse than Xu Chuhe." Xu Chuhe was no longer at ease. “

"Aren't you afraid that he will harm you again?"

"He's hurt me, where can he go? Xiao Daoci fell, and he was worthless in the West Mansion. ”

"You already knew that Xiao Daoci was making trouble?"

The emperor straightened out his clothes, as if the sun was very comfortable, he squinted his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Since you went to the Northern Wei Dynasty, I have become suspicious. ”

"You mean I met mountain bandits in the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

The emperor nodded: "The diplomacy of the two countries will not be cut. What's more, you went to ask to marry Princess Changle of the Northern Wei Dynasty. If you have an accident on the road, it will be a big bad luck for Princess Changle of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Moreover, you and Yunzong are hardly involved in court politics, nor are they border generals, and it is impossible for the Northern Wei Dynasty to do such a thing. However, a group of Northern Wei mountain bandits can know the whereabouts of our Southern Qi envoys in detail, and it is absolutely impossible if there is no person in the court to disclose the information. ”

"Therefore, if the mastermind behind the scenes is not from the Northern Wei Dynasty, it must be our people."

The emperor was noncommittal and said, "At first, I didn't dare to believe it. Because you and Yun Sect are no threat to the people in the court. The only thing that can make people jealous is your identity as the eldest grandson. ”

Xiao Lian pondered: "The only person who cared about my eldest grandson's identity was Xiao Yunying, who wanted to compete with my father, so you doubt him?" ”

The emperor nodded: "Yes, I was suspicious of him at that time. But he really didn't know it. ”

"Unaware?" For a long time, Xiao Lian thought that his attack in the Northern Wei Dynasty was Xiao Ziliang's handiwork.

"You don't believe it?"

"Besides him, is there anyone else who wants to harm me?"

"That's what I was strange about at the time. But Yun Ying: He really didn't know anything about your murder in the Northern Wei Dynasty. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Lian remembered something: "In this way, when I went to Yongzhou, a team of Northern Wei assassins assassinated me on the Yingzhou River. At first, the assassin did not succeed, and Sun Erchen thought that this was a design by the second uncle, and wanted the third uncle to bear the charge of assassinating Erchen. ”

The emperor smiled: "Colluding with foreign enemies and murdering clan relatives? Yun Ying, he's not that stupid. Cloud Chang will not. Although Yun Ying is at odds with Yun Qiao and wants to compete with Yun Qiao and compete for the position of the prince, Yun Ying will not be able to distinguish between right and wrong and collude with foreign enemies. This is not a simple dispute between party members, I have long believed with He Ziji that there is a dark force surging in the court. ”

"So you asked me to spy on it and not make it a big deal. Can you still use this to beat Uncle Erwang? ”

"Actually, I didn't know anything about it. I've always been worried that the person behind this is the clouds. This matter can be regarded as Xiao Daoci's own exposure first, if he hadn't been anxious to lead you to the manger, I wouldn't have found out so quickly. ”

This is the sorrow of the emperor's family, at least in Xiao Lian's opinion, Xiao Yun is not a traitor, but unfortunately in the royal family, holding power is an original sin. The emperor likes himself so much precisely because he has never been a threat to the throne.

The fishing rod in front of Xiao Lian moved again, Xiao Lian casually pulled the fishing rod out of the water, and the bait at the other end of the fishing rod had been bitten. "Old man, we have made a bet before, if I can win the crown prince, you will not move A-Ying."

The emperor's eyebrows raised: "I naturally remember." ”

Xiao Lian stuck the fishing rod into the soil: "Don't break your word. ”

After Xiao Lian left, Zhu Shou hurriedly walked over, picked up the bucket full of fish, and looked at the emperor with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are really good to the prince of Nanjun." ”

"Oh? Didn't I always like this kid? ”

Zhu Shou lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's better now than before." ”

"This kid is not the same as before. Do you see that? ”

Zhu Shou thought about it seriously: "It's true that I've lost some weight." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "You old thing, you are cunning and refuse to tell me the truth." ”

Zhu Shou said in a panic: "Your Majesty, how dare the old minister bully the king." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "You don't dare." But you dare to reveal the news that I am going to kill the princess of Nanjun to Fryne. ”

Zhu Shou was really panicked at this time, he almost didn't hold the bucket of fish, and knelt on the ground with a "plop" sound: "Your Majesty, the old slave ......"

Zhu Shou originally wanted to say that "the old slave was wronged", but the emperor swept his eyes coldly. Zhu Shou broke out in a cold sweat, and his mind was clearer. Zhu Shou was by the emperor's side, knowing the emperor's temperament, and forcibly quibbling for fear that he would be stabbed to death by the emperor immediately.

In Xiao Chen's food box that day, the golden silk blood swallow given to He Jingying was prepared by him. Of course, he knew exactly what was in it. So he deliberately appeared in front of Xiao Fulin, and when Xiao Fulin asked the emperor if he had any reward for people, Zhu Shou replied no.

At this time, the phrase "the old slave is wronged" became from Zhu Shou's mouth: "The old slave is not wronged." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly: "Not wronged? ”

Zhu Shou's tongue was knotted, and he said with a bitter face: "Wronged...... No, not wronged...... The old slave didn't say anything to the princess of the Great Wall. ”

"If you say it directly, will you still have the life to kneel in front of me?"

Just when Zhu Shou thought that the emperor would be angry with him, the emperor skimmed the topic again: "The Dharma Body, this child, is different from before. In the past, he seemed to have a perverse personality, but in fact he was submissive, but now it is different. ”

After the emperor said this, he turned around and left, leaving Zhu Shou on his knees alone. Zhu Shou felt bitter in his heart, and the emperor didn't speak, so he could only continue to kneel. also blamed himself for being too talkative, it was already good that the emperor didn't let him go to the prudent division to receive the punishment.

After a long time, the sun had set, and a little eunuch trotted all the way to Zhu Shou. "Father-in-law Zhu, the emperor said, the bucket of fish you are holding, the fish are dying, let you go down to the lake with the fish to soak up and wake up."

Zhu Shou naturally knew that the emperor was sparing himself when he said this. Immediately stood up with a smile on his face: "Wake up, wake up, wake up, let's wake up." Zhu Shou trotted a few steps, hugged the bucket of fish without hesitation, and jumped into the lake with a "plop".

The bucket of fish came to life as soon as it met the water, and it hit Zhu Shou in the face several times.

The little eunuch found a bamboo pole on the shore and stretched it into the lake: "Father-in-law, enough is enough, come up quickly." ”

Zhu Shou climbed up from the lake drenched, and the little eunuch dared to take out a cloak and put it on Zhu Shou: "Father-in-law, why are you suffering?" ”

Zhu Shou trembled and tightened his cloak: "You are too young to understand, but all people are eager for family affection." The emperor is also a human being. ”

The little eunuch naturally didn't understand, but he still cooperated with Zhu Shou and laughed twice: "What my father-in-law said is that the little ones have to learn more from the father-in-law." ”
