Chapter 196: Calculation
Recently, the crown prince has been imprisoned in the prince's mansion and cannot go anywhere, and no matter how many plans he has, he can only put it on hold.
The emperor was even more suspicious of him, and the younger brothers below him were eyeing his place, and he was like a sandwich biscuit, no matter what he did, it was wrong.
And this time he was even more innocent.
It's true that the medicine was given by himself, and it's not wrong that the doctor also found it himself, but these medicines and people were donated by other people, who knew that there were these cats in it?
But in this matter, the father directly splashed dirty water on him, and he didn't even give him a chance to explain.
The angry prince was thinking about how to ask the emperor to lift the ban on him, and it happened that at this time, the side concubine asked to see him, and he was directly angry.
"Let her go! I didn't see that Prince Ben was busy! ”
In fact, what are you busy with, now that you are imprisoned, what else is there to be busy?
Li Ruyun, who was waiting outside the door, heard the irritable voice of the prince inside, how could he not know that the prince was misunderstanding that he was now competing for favor? She glanced at the eunuch in front of her with some embarrassment, and spoke softly.
"Trouble the father-in-law to go in and say goodbye to the prince, the concubine went to the harem to see the ladies today, Concubine Qi specially asked His Royal Highness!"
Listening to the sound outside the door, the prince hesitated slightly, at this time, when it comes to the harem, what does it mean to mention Concubine Qi?
He didn't have any friendship with Concubine Qi before.
After all, she is the crown prince, and these ladies are at best just concubines around her father, and they are also concubines who want to occupy their position behind the scenes.
However, the reason why Concubine Qi Niangniang made him have a good impression was because she only had one daughter under her name, and the other was that the seventh princess was loved by her father.
"Let her in."
The prince spoke with some irritation.
Li Ruyun came in and greeted the prince with a smile, and then looked around, the meaning was obvious.
How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not know that what the other party said was indeed about him at this time? So he waved everyone away, and when there were only two people left in the room, the prince looked at each other coldly, but there was deep hope in his eyes.
"I hope you are talking about something important this time, otherwise, you will become the first concubine to be abandoned."
The expression on Li Ruyun's face stiffened suddenly, but he still avoided the prince's gaze.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, just now the concubine went to ask Concubine Qi Niangniang to explain to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of the emperor."
"The result? The result? ”
Hearing this, the prince immediately stood up and walked quickly to Li Ruyun's side and asked.
Li Ruyun shook his head and sighed softly.
"Now there is no rumor in the entire harem, Concubine Qi said that I am afraid that I am powerless."
Li Ruyun's words mean something.
After all, the investigation revealed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince poisoned the emperor.
Poisoned!
That's a terrible thing, or the emperor's life!
Even if this is Concubine Qi's plea, it's useless!
Li Ruyun's words disappointed the prince, and he supported his hands on the desk in frustration, he clenched his fists and slammed them on the desk in front of him, clenching his teeth.
"The third! Damn, that's the emperor's father, just to slander the orphan, he disregarded the safety of his father's life, he is simply not as good as a beast! ”
Seeing that the prince's eyes were hideous, and his eyes were full of fierce light, Li Ruyun quietly walked over, stretched out his hand to cover his shoulder, and slowly spoke.
"But there is another way for the concubine!"
But the prince was not interested anymore.
As Concubine Qi said, she really made a big mistake this time, and if her father didn't kill her, it was already for the sake of father-son love.
The third child is poisonous enough, even if his father forgives him this time, he will plant the seeds of doubt.
"Hmph, what can you do? Go back, go back, if Lone is really banned or deposed, Lone will also intercede for you, and you will be allowed to marry on your own in the future. ”
The prince sighed softly and spoke weakly.
Li Ruyun was really moved at this time, her eyes were red, she reached out and held the prince's hand tightly, pursed her lips and shook her head.
"No, Prince, we still have salvation. Do you know a guy named Zhongli? ”
Even if the crown prince divorces them, who else dares to ask for it?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince listened to Li Ruyun's words, but he still maintained the actions just now, and did not cheer up because of Li Ruyun's words.
Zhongli? What Zhongli?
Even if the king of heaven comes, he can't save himself.
But Li Ruyun did not give up and continued.
"Maybe you haven't heard of it, but today the concubine saw the seventh princess on the way back, and the seventh princess actually cried for Zhongli. Although the youngest daughter's mind is simple, the seventh sister is the father's favorite daughter! ”
Although she didn't say it as obviously, it was enough for the prince to understand!
The youngest daughter's thoughts, the favorite daughter, these two combined, how could the prince not guess what the other party wanted to say?
"You mean, let the Seventh Princess Gang Gu speak in front of her father?"
The prince asked uncertainly, the relationship between him and Xiao Qi was not bad, after all, they were their father's favorite children before, and they had more contact.
Li Ruyun nodded.
"That's right! As long as the seventh sister gets what she wants, it must not be difficult to help you explain two sentences in front of your father, after all, they are all the children of their father, don't they all say that there is no overnight feud? ”
The prince thought for a moment and nodded, looked at her appreciatively, and nodded slightly.
After driving Li Ruyun away, he sneered and slapped his palm on the desk.
"Third child, as long as Lone can survive this catastrophe, Lone will definitely make you doomed!"
Thinking that his current situation was all due to the third prince, the prince's anger swelled uncontrollably.
Knowing the importance of the matter, the prince began to find someone to bring the seventh sister over.
After all, he is now being imprisoned, and if he moves too much and attracts the attention of his father, everything will come to naught.
At this time, Zhao Shan'er was locked in the room alone, and all she could think about was Zhongli.
She didn't understand, why Zhongli didn't like herself, she was the most noble princess of the Apocalypse, and Zhongli was just a farmer, why didn't she look down on herself?
Isn't it good to be a colt?
"Princess, princess, what is this?"
The maid hurriedly walked in with a bunch of things and smiled, and put all the boxes in her hands on Zhao Shan'er's table.
Zhao Shan'er frowned, wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at each other with some displeasure, her arrogant temper came up, and she raised her chin directly.
"Hmph, what hasn't this princess ever seen? I'm upset, go out, go out, get out! ”
As she spoke, she was about to push people outside.
The maid's face was embarrassed, and she was ruthless when she thought of the explanation from the outsider just now.
"Princess, the slave knows it's wrong. But these things were all sent by the prince, saying that today, the side concubine Niangniang saw that you were in a bad mood and specially brought them to relieve your boredom. ”
Brother Huang?
Zhao Shan'er was diverted and opened the box with some suspicion, this is just some gadgets, all collected in the capital.
But for Zhao Shan'er, who has never seen this, it is not small.
waited until the game was over, and then hurriedly thought of His Royal Highness the Prince.
"What about the royal brothers? It seems like I haven't seen him in days! Could it be that you are sick? ”
The emperor's detention of the crown prince was secret, so although the palace was curious, he didn't dare to talk about it, Zhao Shan'er played around every day, so naturally he didn't pay attention to these, so he was at a loss.
The maid didn't dare to say much, but smiled awkwardly at the princess.
"The slave doesn't know either! Xu Yes, Xu Yes, His Majesty has given the crown prince too much homework! ”
Zhao Shan'er pursed her mouth, shrugged her shoulders, and directly put her hand behind her back.
"I know, anyway, it's okay today, I'll go see the royal brother."
Now that the older brothers have gone out of the palace to build a mansion, only she and the royal brother are in the palace, and the other younger brothers and sisters are still young.
With a group of people, Zhao Shan'er swaggered into the East Palace, all the eunuchs and maids knelt down and saluted, and Zhao Shan'er frowned and made people get up.
"Where's the prince's brother?"
"Back to the princess, the prince is now in the study!"
Zhao Shan'er nodded, and it happened that the crown princess came out to say hello, but the two of them didn't sit in the flower hall for a while, and they saw someone come over to invite the seventh princess to the study.
Zhao Shan'er was a little suspicious, after all, she was not proficient in reading, but she was even more embarrassed when she thought of Zhongli, who might be proficient in these books.
"Brother Huang, are you kidding me? What's fun in the study? ”
Watching the imperial brother copy the scriptures seriously, Zhao Shan'er was one head and two big.
The prince smiled, shook his head and put down the brush, looking at her a little helplessly.
"It's not that the Li family came back to tell Gu, saying that you were made to cry today, of course the imperial brother has to ask about the situation, someone in the province is bullying you."
Zhao Shan'er's face was flushed, her eyes flashed and she bit her lip, lowered her head and dragged the corner of her clothes, kneading it slowly, her voice was as thin as a gnat.
"No, no one bullied me."
When the prince saw her like this, how could he not understand what kind of little daughter's mind was purely this doing?
He sneered, reached out and slapped the table hard, shouting.
"Come on, go and check on Lone, who made the princess angry today? Look at the red face that is still angry! My father knew that he would definitely be angry. ”
What the prince said was serious, but Zhao Shan'er was terrified when she heard it.
If his father knew that Zhongli had provoked him to cry, wouldn't he have cut off his head?
Her little face changed, and she hurriedly tugged at the sleeve of the prince's clothes, pulling back and forth.
"Brother Huang, don't! Nobody bullied me, really. I just, just listened to a poem, and I was so moved that I cried! ”
She quickly found a reason for herself.
The prince looked at Zhao Shan'er with some suspicion, can his sister not know? When did she like to read poetry?
And Zhao Shan'er was a little show-off at this time, and read out Zhongli's water-tune song, looking at the prince with sparkling eyes.
"Brother Huang, this song is good, isn't it?"
The prince frowned and shook his head.
"It's too childlike, it's good, but it's not very good."
