Faced with Shen Changge's inquiry, Xu Wei was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

After a while, he said loudly: "It is true that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, Weichen did happen to pass by Piaoxiang Building, and happened to see His Highness enter it. ”

Although in fact it was the person he sent who saw the prince enter the Piaoxiang Mansion and came back to report to him.

But how could he have said such a thing?

As for the third possibility that the prince said, he is also in Piaoxianglou?

That can't be admitted, otherwise, does he have the position to accuse the prince of what he did?

Shen Changge had already guessed that he would say this, so he was not surprised, but said, "That's really a coincidence, let the Prime Minister see it." I just don't know, in addition to seeing the palace, the prime minister also saw other people? ”

"In addition to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is also His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

"Really?" Shen Changge raised his delicate eyebrows slightly, and looked at him for a long time, "It seems that the prime minister's eyes are not very good, the emperor is such a big person, you haven't seen it?" ”

"Regent?" Xu Wei raised his head and looked at her in surprise, "How could the prince go to a place like Piaoxianglou?" Besides, didn't you just say it, Your Highness, did you meet the prince on the street when you left? ”

"That's what Hongu said, that's right." Shen Changge nodded matter-of-factly, "But Uncle Huang followed the palace and the second prince all the way to the Piaoxiang Building, and then waited outside the Piaoxiang Building for the palace to come out." ”

Without missing the surprised expression on Xu Wei's face, she continued: "The reason why this palace just said that it happened to meet the imperial uncle is just because I don't want to implicate the imperial uncle in this matter. However, since the Prime Minister saw the palace and the second prince, why didn't he see the imperial uncle? ”

Xu Wei was speechless for a while, he didn't know what to say, and his face was extremely ugly.

He only heard from the person sent to follow the prince, and when he came back, he reported that he saw the prince and the second prince enter the Piaoxiang Building, where did he know that the regent was also there!

If he had known that the regent was also there, he would not have come to the palace to see the emperor and tell the emperor what the prince had done.

Who doesn't know that today's court is almost controlled by the regent, and even the emperor is afraid of the regent, and although he is the prime minister, he does not dare to go against the regent.

And the most important thing is that the prince's words directly overturned what he just said about "meeting by chance".

If the emperor asked him how he would know that the prince had gone to Piaoxiang Building, he really didn't know how to explain it.

In fact, Shen De did ask: "Prime Minister, how do you explain this matter?" You said that you passed by Piaoxianglou and saw the crown prince and the second prince, so why didn't you see the regent? ”

"Maybe there are too many people on the street, and Wechen didn't notice the regent."

"Really?" Shen Changge took his words and said, "Uncle Huang is riding in a carriage, the carriage of the Regent's Mansion should not be difficult to identify, right?" But the prime minister didn't see the emperor's uncle, and the palace suggested that the prime minister should go to the doctor to see if he had an eye disease. ”

Xu Wei couldn't hear the irony in her words, and he was also very angry in his heart, but he had to put on a calm and calm look on his face.

"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, Wechen will go to see the doctor."

Shen Changge snorted lightly and said again: "Then Lord Prime Minister, is it time to talk about it, how did you know that this palace went to Piaoxiang Building?" ”

Her words also made Shen De's eyes fall on Xu Wei and ask him with his eyes.

Feeling the questioning gaze of the two, Xu Wei only felt nervous in his heart.

But after all, he has been an official for many years, and he quickly calmed down, and his face was calm, so that people couldn't see the clues.

"It's the fault of the ministers, and the emperor and His Royal Highness shouldn't be hidden." Xu Wei arched his hands and said in a deep voice, "It's a subordinate in Weichen's mansion, when I went to the street to shop, I saw the prince and the second prince, and when I came back, I talked a few words, and I happened to be heard by Weichen." However, the emperor and His Royal Highness can rest assured that Weichen has severely punished those few subordinates who are talking, and such a thing will never happen again in the future. ”

Shen Changge wouldn't believe his words, just based on the words of a few subordinates, he came to the emperor to complain, and the prime minister was inevitably too calm.

She guessed that most of the prime minister sent someone to follow her and observe her every move.

However, she had no evidence to prove that the prime minister had done such a thing.

"It really deserves to be punished severely. Don't be a subordinate who chews the root of your tongue like this, so as not to accidentally shake out some of your things, Prime Minister. ”

Shen Changge said jokingly, but there was a touch of fierceness in those eyes, so that Xu Wei didn't dare to look at her.

"That's what Your Highness said." Xu Wei tried his best to keep his composure and arched his hand at her.

His heart was full of resentment and unwillingness.

thought that if he caught the handle of the prince, the emperor would gradually become disappointed in the prince, but he didn't expect that he would be made difficult by the prince in turn.

But it doesn't matter, this time it was the prince's luck, but next time it will never be so lucky.

Shen Changge glanced at him, then turned to Shen De, who was at the top, and said, "Father, the prime minister is also dedicated to the sake of his son, so he will go to the palace at this time to inform his father of this." Erchen thinks that his father should reward the prime minister. ”

Although she sounded like she was speaking for the prime minister, there was obvious irony in her words, which made Xu Wei dissatisfied for a while.

But he didn't dare to show this dissatisfaction, and he had to look grateful on his face.

"Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, it's just that Weichen is a courtier, these are what Weichen should do, and I don't dare to ask for any reward."

Shen Changge turned his head to look at him, smiled and said, "It's really hard to be a prime minister." However, if there is anything else that the palace has done wrong in the future, please ask the prime minister to tell the palace directly, don't look for your father for everything, your father is already working hard, how can you make trouble for your father again? ”

Occupied daily with important matters?

Shen De and Xu Wei were both a little speechless.

Shen De glanced at Shen Changge thoughtfully.

What he, the emperor, should be, he knew very well in his heart.

Nowadays, most of the major affairs of the court are handed over to the regent, and he is very idle every day, how can he have any opportunities?

He understood the intention of the prince's words, but he was just warning the prime minister to complain in front of him in the future.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but look at Shen Changge twice.

Seeing that her expression was calm and serious, her eyes were even sharper, and she was surrounded by a terrifying momentum, the emperor's heart was relieved.

This is what the superior should look like, how can the former prince have a little bit of the appearance of being a prince?

"What His Highness said is that Weichen remembered." Xu Wei replied with a smile, but his heart was full of complaints.

With a turn of his gaze, he looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen will retire first." ”

"Let's go down." Shen De waved his hand casually, motioning for him to leave.
