Chapter 238: Something Happened
"Did Your Highness say what you plan to do next?"
Since His Majesty has handed over the matter to the crown prince, it is obvious that the prince will not let go of this matter easily.
Seeing Shen Baiqing asking about this, Su Bowen said truthfully.
"Your Highness will not let this matter go, but this matter still needs to be considered in the long run."
Su Bowen's expression was serious, and seeing this, Shen Baiqing knew what Su Bowen meant.
Now His Majesty has directly handed over the power to investigate this matter directly to the Prince, which is enough to show His Majesty's heavy use of the Prince, and it is estimated that everyone in the court will know the Prince's first position in His Majesty's mind.
Those who were attached to the three princes before had already regretted their mistakes, and if the prince wanted to continue to investigate this matter, it would inevitably involve some trouble.
The prince is a smart person, so he naturally won't take the initiative to provoke those at this time, and in the same way, of course, he will think twice before making a decision.
A few days later, news came from the capital, saying that the prince had controlled the problem of black fire, and it was strictly forbidden to sell black fire in the capital.
The black fire looted before was all charged into the treasury, and the prince's actions caused many forces in the capital to worry.
On this day, the prince personally taught Su Bowen to go to the East Palace, saying that he had something important to discuss in detail, and Shen Baiqing had to stay in the courtyard and wait.
It took three hours for Su Bowen to return, and Shen Baiqing had already prepared the meal, seeing this, Su Bowen was very moved.
"Madame, hard work."
Su Bowen came to Shen Baiqing's side, his eyes were full of joy, Shen Baiqing just glanced at Su Bowen, and did not speak.
After the meal, Shen Baiqing looked at Su Bowen and asked.
"His Royal Highness asked you to go to the East Palace today, but what's the matter?"
Hearing this, Su Bowen looked solemn and said.
"When His Highness investigated the black fire, he found that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, and he suspected that the former henchmen of the three princes were in the way."
"What is Your Highness going to do?"
Shen Baiqing believed that the crown prince was not a person to be slaughtered, and since he knew about this matter, he would not sit idly by.
Asked by Shen Baiqing, Su Bowen answered truthfully.
"His Royal Highness has ordered Dali Temple to be responsible for this matter, and if any clues are found, the person will be immediately sent to the prison of the Criminal Department."
Shen Baiqing could see that this time the prince was really going to make a big move, and he thought about it, the prince was targeted by the three princes in the past, and now after the prince moved into the East Palace, he naturally wanted to get rid of all the three princes' henchmen, which was understandable.
"Husband, I feel that the sky in the capital is about to change now."
For some reason, Shen Baiqing felt more and more that the capital was very different from when she first married Su Bowen.
Seeing Shen Baiqing so emotional, Su Bowen was speechless.
Indeed, the sky in the capital is about to change, especially at this time, the Su family must be careful to deal with it to avoid unnecessary troubles.
A few days later, the crown prince eliminated all the henchmen left in the capital by the three princes, and His Majesty issued an order to declare that the prince would enter the palace with Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing.
On the way to the palace, inside the carriage.
Shen Baiqing looked at Su Bowen, very worried.
"Husband, you said that Your Majesty asked us to enter the palace this time, it won't be something, right?"
During this time, Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen stayed in the eastern suburbs, and there were no other actions, so I don't think Your Majesty would do anything.
Asked by Shen Baiqing, Su Bowen analyzed.
"Now His Highness has handled the matter of the black fire very well, I think it should be a reward for His Majesty to summon us today, Madame, don't worry too much."
"Okay."
Shen Baiqing knew that at this time, even if she was worried, there was no point in worrying about it, it was better to let everything go naturally, so she didn't want to ask too much.
The two came to the imperial study, and it happened that the prince was also there.
After saluting, Shen Baiqing obviously noticed that His Majesty's complexion did not look very good now, Shen Baiqing had a vague guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything on his face.
His Majesty fixed his eyes on Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing, and was full of praise.
"You and your wife are now in good order in the eastern suburbs, and they are really the prince's right-hand men."
"Back to Your Majesty, it is the duty of a courtier to do things for the court."
His Majesty's words are quite profound, Su Bowen did not dare to follow His Majesty's words at this time, the Su family must be loyal ministers.
His Majesty's eyes were still on Su Bowen's body, but he had a side mind in his heart.
The crown prince on the side never came forward to speak for Su Bowen, he knew that what his father was most worried about was that he would win over the courtiers, if he helped Su Bowen speak, it would only confirm in his father's heart that his relationship with the Su family was not ordinary.
"Tell me what reward you're going to want this time."
As soon as His Majesty's words came out, Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing knelt on the ground, and they were sincerely afraid.
"Your Majesty, it is the blessing of the ministers and the inner son to share the worries of Your Majesty, naturally it is not good to ask for a reward, and I hope Your Majesty will not do this."
The more Su Bowen looked sincerely frightened, the more comfortable His Majesty's mood became, he looked at Su Bowen and said seriously.
"No matter what, I'm going to take you down. If you have done a good deed, if there is no reward, I am afraid that no one in this court will do it sincerely. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
His Majesty has already made things so clear, and at this time, Su Bowen twisted it again, but it was a little unreasonable.
"You husband and wife have also lived in the eastern suburbs for a few days, so let's go back to Su Mansion if we have nothing to do today."
"Yes."
Coming out of the palace, Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen were silent all the way, until they returned to Su Mansion and their own courtyard, and the two of them came to their senses.
Shen Baiqing looked at Su Bowen and asked.
"Husband, Your Majesty wants us to go back to Su Mansion today, but there is a deep meaning in this?"
"Your Majesty naturally knows the influence of you and me in the eastern suburbs now, and I think Your Majesty doesn't want us to be too arrogant at the feet of the Son of Heaven."
Hearing this, Shen Baiqing didn't say anything.
Sure enough, the king's heart is unpredictable, they have no side thoughts at all, and everything they do is for the court, but His Majesty still has a taboo against them.
Maybe as an emperor, he is like this, and he won't easily trust others.
Since ancient times, how many emperors have not secured their thrones, they are all gullible others, and there is nothing wrong with thinking about it.
Thinking of noticing that His Majesty's complexion was not very good today, Shen Baiqing deliberately lowered his voice.
"I look at Your Majesty's complexion today and I am not very good, I am worried about ......"
Shen Baiqing's words didn't come out, but Su Bowen understood Shen Baiqing's implication, if His Majesty has something long and short now, I'm afraid that the sky in the capital will really change.
"Madame, are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid, but we still have to be prepared early."
"It's nature."
The next day, Su Zhiyuan and Su Boxing returned home and called Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing to the study.
Seeing his father's solemn expression, even the eldest brother's face was not very good-looking, Su Bowen asked tentatively.
"Did something happen in the early dynasty?"
Seeing Su Bowen's inquiry, Su Boxing said slowly.
"Your Majesty fainted above the court today, and has been sent back to the palace."
