The warm pavilion of the imperial study fell silent again, and the four people in the room stopped talking.

Facing old ministers like Li Nanyuan, Chang Hu and Fan Chengshu, the prince seemed a little anxious.

As time passed, the crown prince, who had not waited for the emperor's return, was a little unable to sit still.

Compared with the other three old ministers who sat at the table and drank tea leisurely, the prince couldn't help but get up and walk around the room.

In the end, he simply pushed open the door and observed whether the emperor's dragon chariot had any signs of coming to the imperial study.

The three people at the table couldn't help but glance at each other when they saw the prince's actions.

In the end, Fan Chengshu took the initiative to persuade him.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there are many things going on today, and the emperor is afraid that he will not come back so soon."

"This king is worried about the safety of his father, I don't know if the assassins in this palace have been completely cleaned up!"

The crown prince frowned and secretly felt anxious, he was the person who was most concerned about the safety of the lord in the entire Nanli at the moment.

People who don't understand the Nanli court may not understand the mystery of this, everyone thinks that he is the future lord of the Nanli country, if something really happens to the lord of the country at this moment, the prince will be able to inherit the throne justifiably.

This is all the imagination of outsiders, if the crown prince loses the protection of the lord at this time, let alone inherit the throne, even if he gets out of Su Dusk City alive, it will probably be quite difficult.

For so many years, he has tried his best to win over Li Nanyuan, but he has always been neither salty nor light, and he looks like a grass on the wall in everything.

And his own grandfather, Fan Chengshu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has always acted impartially, and would rather cultivate Min Tingyun than push his protégés into his sphere of influence.

The dignified prince, whether in the court or in the army, is not as powerful as Prime Minister Min Xiuzhu.

Not to mention the arrogant and domineering Princess Yuchong and King Yong, relying on the support of Queen Wuluoya, they have already blatantly competed with themselves for the throne.

The queen was born in Yerong, where there has always been a tradition of only looking at strength, regardless of age, and each generation of lords has stepped on the flesh and blood of brothers and sisters to ascend to the throne, not only not between young and old, but also between men and women.

At this time, if the lord of Nanli suddenly dies, the prince has no chance of winning.

With such anxiety, he sat back beside Li Nanyuan and softened his tone.

"General Li, can you go and check all over the palace again to ensure the safety of my father?"

"The crown prince doesn't have to worry, those assassins have long been expected by the emperor, in fact, before they entered the palace, the emperor had already received the news and was on guard."

Li Nanyuan took a leisurely sip of tea, and didn't look like he was about to get up and go out.

His words made Chang Hu's eyes light up, put down the teacup, and turned his head to ask carefully.

"When did the emperor know?"

"On the way back to Beijing to report on your work, there have been spies to report back, and there are some changes in the middle that you have not noticed, the emperor knows about it, and he has already asked me to take precautions."

Li Nanyuan did not hide Chang Hu's questioning and told the truth.

Anyway, everyone who is doing it wants to know, and there is nothing wrong with letting them know, so that Chang Hu will return to the camp in the future to assist Chen Guo in resisting the Yerong invasion, what kind of moth is there in this Su Dusk City.

Li Huangtu is not his own, but he is raised, and his daughter's divorce is the most important thing at present.

Anyone who obstructed this matter, Li Nanyuan didn't want to be polite to them.

It doesn't hurt to use this bridge to knock on them.

Chang Hu was really upright, and as soon as he heard Li Nanyuan's words, he immediately drilled into his trap, and split his head and covered his face.

"You know on the way back to Beijing? Then I took a detour to the Breaking Wind Camp halfway, and the emperor also knew? Those assassins are clearly several groups of people who have entered the palace in a mixed manner, can the emperor let you know the difference? ”

"I found out early in the morning, since people are coming, whether it is to explore the secret or assassinate, the emperor said, accompany him to the end, and just to see if the people around him are loyal."

Li Nanyuan's voice was indifferent, and there were indeed insinuations between his words, which made people's spines chill.

The prince awkwardly picked up the teacup and took a sip, suppressing the anxiety in his heart.

So, the general's palace photographed someone to inform him to enter the palace to rescue the driver, was it deliberately arranged by his father?

The matter of spying on the secrets of Luoxia Palace had already been noticed by his father, just to test whether he, the prince, had other thoughts?

Fan Chengshu saw the hint in Li Nanyuan's words, and immediately patted the prince's hand.

"The emperor has always been sage, and the prince has always been filial, although this matter is also a temptation for us courtiers, but in the end, everyone did not disappoint the emperor."

"Alas, if Lord Fan had defended the prince like this earlier, the prince would not have complained about you so much."

Li Nanyuan's tone of tea-tea-tea, but there was something in his words, which was close to Fan Chengshu.

This Lord Fan is in an important position, and his protégés are all over the government and the opposition, but he abides by his duties as a courtier, is arrogant all his life, refuses to form a party for personal gain, and even the prince, his own grandson, refuses to favor and help.

The reason why the prince clings to his marriage with the Li family is more because he is fledgling, and his power is far inferior to Princess Yuchong and King Yong.

This Lord Fan and the Fan family want talents and talents, and they want money and money, but they are unwilling to support the prince.

But from time to time, he stood up to defend the prince, but there was nothing he could do about the ruthless methods of King Yong and Princess Yuchong.

Since ancient times, it has been a gentleman who can't fight a villain.

This Lord Fan is too gentlemanly, if it is a peaceful and prosperous world, he has to meet Mingjun, and he is in a high position, it is naturally better.

But now the situation in Nanli is simply a mess.

All the forces, from the court to the army to the rivers and lakes, are uneasy everywhere.

This Fan Chengshu still cherishes his reputation so much, and refuses to come down to fight with this gang of Xiaoxiao, which really makes Li Nanyuan angry.

Today's lord of Nanli is just two princes.

Although Li Nanyuan doesn't look down on the prince who is ambitious and talented, no matter how bad the prince is, he is much better than King Yong, right?

If the prince's position is stable, he will not cling to his marriage with Huang'er and refuse to let go.

Li Nanyuan has been pretending to be cowardly and incompetent in order to protect Chen Sujin and Huang'er all these years.

But today I took Huang'er to a secret passage, and I felt more and more that my daughter was smart and cute, and I didn't want her marriage to be ruined in such a power struggle in the court.

At this moment, Li Nanyuan's words were all with sticks, chasing and beating the prince and Fan Chengshu.

Chang Hu on the side felt that this brother suddenly stopped pretending, and he spoke with an aggressive and murderous aura.

Seeing that his mentor was so frightened by Li Nanyuan that he couldn't speak, Chang Hu rarely played a round with such a straight face.

"Ahem! It's okay, I'm still worried that the emperor will punish me! ”

"General Chang is powerful at the border pass, the emperor still remembers to send you to relieve the siege of Chen Guo, even if you punish the crime, you will also make meritorious service for the crime."

Li Nan saw Chang Hu speak, so he changed his words according to his meaning.

The crown prince and Fan Chengshu both breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Li Nan was far away from being squeezed everywhere, and eighty percent was angry with them for the princess's affairs, and it was best to ignore this matter.

The prince was no longer angry with Chang Hu now, and quickly pulled the topic away.

"Yes, General Chang, don't blame this king for speaking more heavily just now, and we still have to rely on the general for the border matter!"

"Old man, let's just say that this matter has nothing to do with the four of us, and the prince and General Chang don't have to worry."

Li Nanyuan glanced at the three people who suddenly stood together to comfort and praise each other, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"That's not necessarily, if you can't scare our lady who came from Yerong, everyone is going to spend the night here tonight."
