The crown prince sat on the throne and shook the jade cup in his hand slowly, and said in a faint voice: "It's been half a month since King Cheng saved the fifth prince, why hasn't there been any movement from my father until now?"

The prime minister wiped the cold sweat on his head, and glanced at Gongzi Cheng, who was sitting on the side, and said helplessly: "It should be that the emperor doesn't know yet, King Cheng hasn't mentioned this matter since that day, we are at a loss after all, and if you speak out rashly, it will not be good for Your Highness's reputation." ”

The prince frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied, and the prime minister didn't dare to say anything more, so he picked up the teacup and drank it slowly.

"Then let's just swallow this breath? Isn't it a bit too sloppy? You can't think of a way, and where has Han Houfei been these days?"

Gongzicheng didn't know what was wrong, he heard the discussion of the little guy around him that day, and now the more he looks at himself, the more he looks like the prince, his heart is like grass, and his usual respect for the prince is gone, not to mention, even with those careful thoughts that he usually dare not move.

The prime minister didn't know anything during this time, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense at this time, so he could only helplessly gesture to Gongzicheng with his eyes.

Gongzi Cheng still has some brains, knowing that no matter what the truth is at this time, he can't tear his face, so he put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly: "This matter is easy to say, mainly in what the people say, if the people in the city are full of praise for the prince and complain about King Cheng, even if the emperor wants to turn a blind eye, he can't do it." ”

The prince nodded, feeling that it was still very reasonable, so he called the guards around him and asked, "What has King Cheng been doing lately?"

The guard hesitated for a moment, and then spoke cautiously: "I heard that Princess Cheng is pregnant, and King Cheng has not come out of the palace in the past few days, and the emperor also said that he does not need to go to court." ”

The jade cup in the prince's hand shattered in response, and he was stunned for a long time before he said: "This is my father's first imperial grandson, if he is really born, then how should I, the prince, deal with myself in the future?"

The guard smiled reluctantly and comforted: "Princess Cheng has just become pregnant, and she doesn't know if it's a man or a woman, Your Highness is worried too early." ”

Gongzi Cheng Muran drank a sip of water, listening to the words of the guard just now, his heart felt like an ant was biting, and he couldn't help but think about what kind of life he would be like if he was really the prince, and couldn't help but ask softly: "What if it is the emperor's grandson, isn't His Royal Highness still the prince?"

The crown prince didn't know anything about Gongzi Cheng's thoughts, and blurted out almost defenselessly: "Even if I am the prince now, it may not be in the future, King Cheng is also a prince, maybe when my father will make him the prince, but I am a joke." ”

"As long as you are a prince, you have the opportunity to become a crown prince, or even the emperor, right?"

Gongzi Chengcheng muttered this sentence like a demon, and the prince slowly realized that something was wrong, frowned and glanced at the prime minister and asked with some uncertainty: "Is he unwell today? Why is it so strange?"

The prime minister smiled a little helplessly, and pinched Gongzi Cheng beside him fiercely before he spoke: "It's not that he is unwell, it's that His Royal Highness King Cheng scared him a few days ago, I hope the prince will understand." ”

The prince glanced at Gongzi Cheng with some disgust, and waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

"Your Highness just said that you can't give birth to His Royal Highness Chengwang's child, but the old minister has a way, but he needs to borrow someone from His Highness. ”

The prince was distressed about this matter, and when he heard that there was a solution, he hurriedly came over: "Tell me what the solution is, as long as it can be successful, you can choose the people in my mansion." ”

"Actually, the method is very simple, the old minister got a kind of Gu worm in southern Xinjiang a few days ago, as small as a grain of rice, as long as it is mixed in the diet can be fatal, I remember that there are people in the palace of the king, this little thing should be no problem. ”

The prince nodded and thought for a while, "It's not difficult, but it doesn't seem to need anyone in my house, what do you want to do?"

The prime minister glanced at Gongzicheng, his eyes were a little complicated, and said: "My son has been a little restless these days, I want to borrow the monk in the prince's mansion to use it, come to our house to chant and pray for blessings for a period of time, as long as my son is better, I will send it back to the prince." ”

The movement of the prince's hand stopped suddenly, scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "This is not easy to do, to say that there is only one monk in my house, and he is still a high monk, but now he is no longer in the house, and if the prime minister has something, he will have to wait for a while." ”

As soon as the words fell, a monk in a blue robe came in, chanting the Buddha's name in his mouth, interrupting the prince's words.

"Since the prime minister came to invite him personally, the poor monk didn't dare to shirk even if he had a big matter, so he came back. ”

The prime minister came back to meet this monk, but it was difficult to get better when he saw his face.

"It's a big deal, since you are willing to go back with me, let's go, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has a lot of things here, so we won't be able to disturb it. ”

Even if the prince was stupid, he could see that something was wrong, and opened his mouth to say something, but when he met the monk's gaze, he swallowed it back, and just waved his hand and sent them out.

When he arrived in the carriage, the prime minister's face became very ugly, and Gongzi Cheng on the side was startled, thinking that his performance just now made his father angry, and he just wanted to say something.

I heard the monk on the side speak lightly: "After so many years, what are you doing with me again?

Childe Cheng choked in his throat and almost lost his breath, but after enduring it for a long time, he coughed.

Only then did the prime minister notice that his son was also in the carriage, waved his hand and said impatiently: "Cheng'er goes down first, there are guards behind, you follow them to see what is going on with Han Houfei these days." ”

Gongzicheng knew that this was just a means to break him apart, but looking at his father's appearance, he couldn't refuse, so he could only let out a long sigh and get out of the car and leave.

The monk waited for him to leave before he spoke: "After all these years, you still don't dare to tell him the truth? How can you say that you have raised a child for so many years, and you don't feel sorry for him at all?"

The prime minister slammed the jade pendant in his hand to the ground, and then said coldly: "What do you know? I didn't say anything for his good." ”
