Chapter 52: It's Rare to Be Confused
These days, everything is entangled, and the haze that His Majesty in the Southern Tang Dynasty is covered up seems to be able to swallow people at any time, and several old ministers who are accompanying him are a little trembling.
"Brother Xian, what do you think?" The long silence in the imperial study was finally broken by His Majesty Nantang taking the initiative to speak, and he was tired but subconsciously moved to Prince Chenghe's face with a somewhat sharp gaze, and couldn't help asking.
Seeing His Majesty Nantang's name, Prince Chenghe naturally couldn't continue to be silent, took a step forward, and stood out from the ministers.
"The state banquet is coming to an end, and now it happened too suddenly, and it hurt the prince of Linglan by mistake." Prince Chenghe paused unhurriedly before speaking again. "According to the old ministers, do their best to obey the destiny of heaven."
As soon as these words fell, the ministers only felt the originally calm momentum on His Majesty Nantang, and in an instant, it suddenly became a little more aggressive.
Those old ministers couldn't help but be silent in unison, and they didn't dare to speak for a while.
"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven?" His Majesty Nantang couldn't help but have a sneer on his face that was out of place, so it looked very weird. "If you are at the mercy of heaven."
"What do I want you for?"
"Get out, get out of here."
Finally came out of the imperial study, and Prince Chenghe's heart suddenly became gloomy like the weather suddenly changed outside.
The old ministers who came out with him knew that his words angered His Majesty the Southern Tang Dynasty, but for various reasons, they only appeased Prince Chenghe a few words, and left in a hurry.
Outside, the weather that had been sunny suddenly took a turn for the worse, and a light rain began to fall.
Prince Chenghe took heavy steps, and waited until all his colleagues around him had left, and then he paced slowly to the bottom of the porch.
But before he could stand still, he saw a back waiting outside.
Prince Chenghe's old eyes were dizzy, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he discerned the sturdy back.
When Prince Chenghe looked at the back, the person who was standing on the edge of the pillar and didn't know what he was thinking when he raised his eyes suddenly turned around, and after seeing Prince Chenghe, he hurriedly stepped forward to meet him. "Prince."
"Yes." Prince Chenghe quietly retracted his eyes and said lightly. "Why is Your Highness waiting outside here and not going in?"
King An Rui followed Prince Chenghe's words, glanced at the imperial study, a touch of helplessness appeared in his eyes, let out a meaningful sigh, and spoke. "Xiao Wang thinks about it, but his father is him."
King An Rui paused deliberately, and found that Prince Chenghe didn't seem to be paying attention, and King An Rui couldn't help but curse the old fox in his heart, and then added. "My father has been working hard these days, and Xiao Wang is very worried when he sees it, but he can't help it."
With that, he let out a deep sigh.
Prince Chenghe's lowered eyes showed a touch of clarity, and there was a measure in his abdomen, so naturally he would not let King An Rui be entangled here, he slowly raised his eyes and glanced at King An Rui.
After tossing these days, coupled with Prince Chenghe's deliberate creation, it made him look old, and the old man who was originally in a shimmering spirit seemed to be crumbling at the moment, as if he would not be able to hold on one day.
"King An Rui has this thought, presumably Your Majesty will know about it, and he will be very relieved." When people get older, the speed of speech is inevitably a lot slower.
Prince Chenghe's slow tone made King An Rui want to directly open his mind to see what he wanted to say, but even if he was anxious, the expression on his face was extremely well controlled. "The prince doesn't have to worry too much."
Seeing that Prince Chenghe wanted to send himself away with a few words, King An Rui's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Hearing the prince say this, Xiao Wang was a lot relieved." King An Rui paused, and then let out a long sigh, his face very worried. "Xiao Wang just wants to share his father's worries."
Seeing that King An Rui pretended to be depressed, Prince Chenghe had been entrenched in the court for so many years, which son His Majesty the Emperor favored, he didn't know in his heart?
Knowing that if King An Rui did not have a satisfactory answer today, he was afraid that he would not leave, so Prince Chenghe listened silently to King An Rui's next words.
"Xiao Wang just heard that the third emperor brother didn't know what errand he had received, and he hadn't returned to the house these days, and his younger brother and sister asked Xiao Wang to enter the palace to ask one or two." King An Rui shook his head, pretending to be quite helpless. "The third emperor brother has always been a thoughtful master, but this time he forgot to be proportional and forgot to send someone to explain to the third brother and sister, which caused the third brother and sister to be very worried."
Speaking of this, Prince Chenghe didn't know where King An Rui stopped him today, because he wanted to hear some news about King Chen Jing from himself.
Prince Chenghe raised his eyes and glanced at King An Rui, he was able to survive because he advocated the way of self-preservation, if it was in the past, he was afraid that he would not be entangled with King An Rui again, so he sent King An Rui away in three or two sentences.
It's just that in the end, the bright green tendons on Prince Chenghe's arm jumped suddenly, but fortunately, they were hidden in his sleeves, and others couldn't see anything.
He narrowed his eyes as if he were old and dizzy, and lowered his voice a little. "It's hard to be confused."
King An Rui didn't seem to have thought that Prince Chenghe would suddenly come to such a sentence, he was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Prince Chenghe, but found that he had already walked away in the rain with umbrellas from the palace people on the side.
What does Prince Chenghe mean by this sentence?
Rare to be confused?
Prince Chenghe Ping Suri turned a blind eye to the courtesy of these vassal kings, and had an attitude of not helping anyone, although he stopped Prince Chenghe today, but he didn't have any expectations, he could dig something out of Prince Chenghe's mouth, just wanted to listen to his father's thoughts.
Unexpectedly, Prince Chenghe suddenly gave him an answer that sounded like a bull's head was not in the horse's mouth.
King An Rui always felt that Prince Chenghe was trying to remind him of something.
His eyebrows moved slightly, didn't Prince Chenghe tell him not to mix in it?
Prince Chenghe has never shown anything unusual to anyone's overtures in the past, and now he specially reminds himself, isn't it?
King An Rui pondered carefully for a moment, and felt that Prince Chenghe suddenly warned him today, afraid that there was some reason, and then carefully thought about it, he should have suppressed his temperament and not participated in this troubled water.
It's just that he didn't think that Chen Jingwang suddenly had an accident, and for some reason he offended his father's bad head and was locked up in the palace, and he was still a little gloating.
But he never thought that Liu Guan, who was quite trusted by him, was actually the person placed by Chen Jingwang's side.
This made him, who had always been above the top and only stared at his brother-in-law Qi Jingwang, feel an indescribable sense of insult.
After all, Chen Jingwang, who had never put it in his eyes and always thought that he could not pose a threat to himself, had been designing himself.
It's not a great feeling.
After learning the news, King An Rui turned upside down, still feeling that he couldn't bear this kind of torture at all, so he still entered the palace.
He always felt that his father was planning something, and it was just a matter for the prince to know, and the third emperor brother who had never been looked down upon by him and was disabled was afraid that he also knew.
He vaguely felt that the Third Emperor Brother was the hidden, the biggest hidden danger.
Just when King An Rui felt that his actions today were a little abrupt.
"Lord Wang." A famous eunuch took small steps and stopped in front of King Anrui.
Before King Anrui came back to his senses, he spoke. "Your Majesty, please."
King An Rui's heart thumped, suppressed his restless heart, followed the eunuch, and entered the imperial study.
There are several palace maids in the imperial study who are squatting on the ground to clean up the residues on the ground, looking at this appearance, presumably the father must have made a lot of fire.
King An Rui realized more and more that Prince Chenghe had deliberately reminded himself before, and when there was a trace of regret in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a touch of joy.
"I heard you've been waiting out for hours?"
His Majesty Nantang's voice was very low by him, and he was sitting on the dragon chair at the moment caressing his forehead, and his deep voice made it impossible to hear his current mood.
King An Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, subconsciously took a step forward, and knelt down in front of His Majesty Nantang. "Greetings to my father, my father...."
Before King An Rui's words could be spoken, he was impatiently interrupted by His Majesty Nantang. "Okay, what the hell is the matter with you?"
As King An Rui was considering the choice of words and sentences, he heard His Majesty Nantang add another sentence. "You've been out there for so long, and you haven't thought to say that?"
King An Rui sensitively caught the dissatisfaction in this word, he stared, did not stand up straight, and said in a voice as smooth as possible. "Erchen entered the palace today because of the three emperor brothers."
"Oh?" His Majesty Nantang let out a cold snort of unknown meaning.
"The third emperor brother has always been thoughtful and reliable, I don't know what happened this time, I actually forgot to talk to the third brother and sister ward." King An Rui avoided the importance and picked a few words lightly and spoke. "Previously, the sons and daughters saw that their father's affairs were busy, and they felt that they should not use these trivial matters to bother their father."
But looking at Prince Chenghe's sad appearance outside, he lost his sense of proportion for a moment and talked with Prince Chenghe.
Hearing King An Rui take the initiative to mention Prince Chenghe, His Majesty Nantang couldn't help but stop at King An Rui's body.
"In vain trying to share the worries of my father, I hope that my father will not blame his sons for overstepping."
How could His Majesty the Southern Tang Dynasty not know that King An Rui was picking and choosing to say something nice?
But who doesn't like to hear something nice? He sensitively caught something and asked. "Prince Chenghe frowned?"
King An Rui has always been able to look at people's eyes, and he couldn't help but be sure in his heart, and after thinking about it again, he spoke. "I heard that it was a matter of joy, and it was a matter of trouble." King An Rui paused, his brows furrowed unconsciously.
"Prince Chenghe must have been heartbroken by the county lord of Chenghuan, and he actually sent the county lord who has always been favored to the pure heart view, saying that he wanted her to cultivate her self-cultivation."
Hearing this, His Majesty Nantang was still a little skeptical, but at this moment, his face looked a little better, and his eyebrows hooked slightly. "Cheng Huan is acting a little ridiculous, and it's time to discipline him."
"However, after all, this is Chenghe's family matter, so you don't want to be involved in it."
"The third brother will send someone to the ward, so you don't have to worry about it."
Hearing that his father was about to reveal this matter in a few words, King An Rui meekly lowered his brows in response.
Seeing that King An Rui was so knowledgeable, His Majesty of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who was originally angry with King Chen Jing, also calmed down a lot at this moment.
After all, he is the most favored son in his secret, and he is always different from others.
His Majesty Nantang's face couldn't help but soften, and he began to give the order to expel the guests.
King An Rui withdrew respectfully, but for a moment, the expression on his face was very ugly.
No matter what, the father has never revealed half of it, what is the father hiding from him?
He had always thought that although his father was very fond of King Qi Jing on the surface, he secretly supported many henchmen for him, but, looking at this appearance, he was faintly suspicious that his previous speculations were true?
King An Rui's eyes flashed, and he thought of the news for unknown reasons, and his heart struggled.
Who is the one who sent the news?
