Chapter 35: Slander
"If you want me to say, if the fourth brother asks to marry the eldest lady, Xu Xin is fine, after all, who doesn't know that Xu Wangye loves his concubine the most, but the fourth brother went to ask for an unfavored concubine, this is also forget it, but Xu Wangye also refused, it seems that ah, these four brothers still put their status higher, let me say that the fourth brother is not to you next time to ask for a maid from Xu Wangfu, in that case, Xu Wang will definitely not refuse you again, these come, fourth brother You can climb to Xu Wangfu, Second, it won't be too embarrassing. ”
Ji Chen heard the prince sneering so sneeringly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but now in the palace, his father was still on the sickbed, if he quarreled with the prince, he would be criticized by outsiders.
So thinking like this, Ji Chen's face became more and more indifferent, and he said, "Thank you for the prince's reminder, I will naturally pay attention to it in the future, but it is still inconvenient to talk to the prince today, I still have to enter the palace to serve my father, and I will retire with my brother today." ”
After speaking, Ji Chen flicked his sleeves and left mercilessly, leaving the prince alone in the same place, looking at Ji Chen's indifferent appearance, he became more and more angry.
"The prince is becoming more and more unsuccessful now, his behavior is frizzy, and people can look down on him, I heard that he has frequently made friends with ministers and princes these days, which is really a joke."
The secret guard looked at the scene just now, and his heart was already on fire, but Ji Chen's face was still indifferent, and he didn't look moved, so he could only complain and solve it by himself.
When Ji Chen heard this, he turned his head and forbade him: "Silence!" This is in the palace, where you can talk nonsense. ”
Seeing Ji Chen like this, Dark Guard quickly closed his mouth.
It's just that Ji Chen still didn't think that he underestimated the prince, that day, after he finished serving in front of the emperor, he returned to his own mansion, and then, the prince entered the palace and continued to serve the emperor, but unexpectedly, after the prince left the emperor's bedroom, the emperor immediately issued a holy decree.
The holy decree said that Ji Chen, the fourth prince of marriage, and the daughter of Lord Shi, the prince of the imperial history, heard the news, Ji Chen's face couldn't help but be even more cold, and he pinched the paper in his hand fiercely at that time.
And when the dark guard heard the news, he became more and more angry: "This His Royal Highness the Prince! This is too deceitful! ”
It turns out that no one in the whole capital doesn't know that the daughter of Lord Shi Shi doesn't say anything else, but when something happens, Lord Yushi's hard temper has learned a lot, but he is an iron-faced and selfless person, if the four princes insist on marrying the daughter of Lord Shi, I am afraid that the future will not be easy, and at that time, the master will go to the stinky stone in the pit, which is stinky and hard, and it will not help the four princes.
It's just that all this is on the surface, if it is really as iron-faced and selfless as Lord Shi, Ji Chen will not object to this family matter, but not many people in the capital know that although this Lord Shi seems to be neutral on the surface, he has secretly surrendered to the prince, and Ji Chen is just one of the few who knows about this matter, one of the few.
So this marriage seems to be meaningful to Ji Chen, giving him the daughter of an iron-faced and selfless adult, but Ji Chen knows that this is the prince's warning to her, and the prince has a firm grasp of his marriage, and he will marry whoever he marries.
What Ji Chen hates most in his life is that others control him, so he feels like a mouse being stared at, thinking of this,. 's face was even more grim.
After a long while, Ji Chen said slowly: "Since the prince can't wait, let's give him a ride." ”
The secret guard has been following Ji Chen for many years, and when he saw Ji Chen's appearance, of course he knew that Ji Chen was already very angry, so he immediately looked solemn and obeyed Ji Chen's orders.
I saw that Ji Chen pondered for a while, and finally gave an order: "You go and find out the two grandmothers in the suburbs, and secretly quietly send him to the palace and to the front of his father's bed." ”
When the secret guard heard this, he couldn't help but be even more shocked in his heart, he understood too well that his master no longer intended to tolerate the prince, and wanted to take the prince down with one move, and one move would be fatal.
But although he thinks so, the dark guard is indeed a little happy in his heart, he has long seen that the prince is unhappy, but in the name of the son of a queen, in fact, he is a cowardly and incompetent straw bag, such a person is in the position of the prince, it is really unpleasant. Thinking like this, the dark guard hurriedly took the order and left.
And when Ji Chen gave this order, the outside had already turned upside down, and the whole capital knew about it, and the emperor decreed that the daughter of Lord Yu Shishi would marry Ji Chen as his wife.
Generally speaking, the prince's wife generally represents the status of the prince in the emperor's mind, after all, having a good in-law will naturally help the prince a lot, and now the emperor is just marrying an ordinary, the daughter of Lord Yushi to Ji Chen, the deep meaning of this, everyone has seen through.
Thinking about it, the emperor is really not optimistic about the four princes, so he made such a will.
On the other hand, everyone is more optimistic about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today.
So for a while, the prince's faction can be said to be very prosperous, once those ministers who refused to be wooed by the prince, as well as the princes, have extended olive branches to the prince, and the prince's door is also full of people, in the face of such a scene, the prince is naturally very happy, this is not in vain for him, that day was also in front of the emperor to beg a lot.
Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help but think of the scene of that day.
After Ji Chen left that day, the prince went to serve in front of the emperor to ask for peace, and when he saw the emperor lying on the bed and groggy appearance, the prince felt a lot of emotion for a while.
This man was his father, but in some ways he was also his enemy.
It's his father who will help him, but because this person has been alive, and as the crown prince, he can't ascend to the throne, and then he has been tormenting below, and has been fighting with his damn fourth brother, so the prince can be said to love and hate the person in front of him.
Just when the prince was just thinking nonsense, the emperor on the bed suddenly moved.
The prince quickly came back to his senses, he hurriedly bent forward, and said to the emperor who was groggy on the bed: "Father? But what do you have to command? ”
The emperor opened his eyes in a coma, only to see a person in front of him, and there was a concerned tone in his ears, he slowed down for a long time before he saw that it was his prince in front of him, so he said slowly: "It's you, prince." ”
The crown prince naturally agreed: "Yes, father, the son is here to take care of you today, my father and emperor feel better, is there something you want?" Do you want to drink water? ”
However, the emperor did not answer this question, he just asked slowly: "What time is it?" ”
The crown prince hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Back to my father, it's already afternoon." ”
The emperor was silent for a long time when he heard this, but the prince still waited patiently for the emperor's words, and sure enough, after a while, the emperor asked again: "Are you here all the time today?" ”
When the crown prince heard this, of course, he agreed, and said, "Yes, father, and the son has been here to take care of you since yesterday. ”
The crown prince is really not afraid of being exposed when he says this, after all, when he was sick at that time, he was in the palace, and he immediately took the lead in replacing all the people who served the emperor with his own people, so he can lie now as a matter of course.
Sure enough, when the emperor heard the prince say this, the expression on his face was a little more relaxed, and he said in a loud voice: "Okay, good, you are really a good son." ”
The prince was overjoyed when he heard this, and in a blink of an eye, he thought of himself again, he had just met Ji Chen's narrow road, and Ji Chen didn't take himself in his eyes at all, and the more the prince thought about it, the more he hated it.
Now he looked at the emperor who was unconscious on the bed, and couldn't help but come up with another poisonous plan.
I saw him say slowly: "Father, since you are sober today, there is something I want to tell you. ”
When the emperor heard him say this, he slowly asked, "What is it?" ”
The prince hurriedly said: "That's the case, my son met the fourth brother a few days ago, and the fourth brother has something to ask the emperor for. ”
Seeing that the emperor did not continue and interrupted, but let him continue, the prince couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and said cautiously: "Fourth brother, he took a fancy to the daughter of the Yushi family, and the fourth brother fell in love with the daughter at first sight, so he changed his mind to propose to the emperor and only gave the two of them a marriage." ”
When the emperor heard the prince say this, his brows slowly tightened, and he continued to ask slowly, "When did this happen?" ”
When the prince heard this, he hurriedly said, "Not long ago, it was when you were sick a few days ago, father. ”
Unexpectedly, when the emperor heard this, he was furious, resentful as himself, and the cup next to him fell: "Rebel, rebel!" I have only been sick for a few days, but he fell in love with other women at first sight, and even wanted to marry a couple, well, this is my son, so rebellious! ”
When the prince saw this scene, he was ecstatic in his heart, but he pretended to be panicked on his face, and quickly knelt down and said: "It's the son's son who is not good, and he is at fault, and he never thought of saying it like this, provoking his father, you are angry, father, you have to take care of your body, don't be too angry!" ”
The emperor gasped for a long time, and when he saw that the prince was still kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but feel pity and said, "What does this have to do with you?" Hurry up, this is just the anger of that rebel! ”
When the prince heard this, he didn't get up immediately, he still knelt on the ground and said: "It's the fault of the minister, the minister is the elder brother, but he failed to teach the younger brother well, and now he also tells his father about this, so that your father is angry, and your health is not good." ”
