Chapter 180: To Each His Own Calculation
"What the hell is going on? Why is there an assassin in the boss's mansion?"
On Zhou Yu's mansion, he paced back and forth in the hall with irritability, and the only remaining joy that could be sacrificed on behalf of His Majesty had all dissipated.
He knew too well what it would do to him!
Now among the princes, only Zhou Yan's mansion has a grandson, but only he, the third prince, is qualified to compete with Zhou Yan for the position of the East Palace.
In addition to Zhou Yan's eldest son, his other advantage is that he has multiple sons.
That child is the first royal grandson in the royal family, and he is especially favored by His Majesty, which also increases Zhou Yan's chances of winning.
"Your Highness, don't be impatient." The strategist opened his mouth to persuade him, but was interrupted by Zhou Yu's irritability.
"Don't be impatient? How can you tell me to be at ease? But if anything happens to that child, it must be counted on my head first! How can you calm down?"
When he said this, the counsellor frowned, not knowing what to think.
After getting angry, Zhou Yu's sanity was a little regained, he looked at the strategist, and said apologetically, "Please don't blame me, sir, I'll ......
"Your Highness doesn't need to say much, Zai Xia understands," the strategist said with a smile, "Zai Xia just suddenly thought, could this matter be directed and acted by His Highness himself?"
"Although there was an assassin in His Royal Highness's mansion, the little emperor and grandson were not harmed, and I heard that it was because the nurse/mother and maid who took care of the emperor and grandson tried desperately to stop it, so that the emperor and grandson were not harmed."
"Even if they are desperately trying to block it, the guards in His Highness's mansion are not vegetarians, so why do they let people run away lightly?"
When the strategist said this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but think about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that maybe it was really self-directed and self-acting.
He suddenly remembered that he had something in Zhou Yan's hands, and it was the most suitable thing to use to blame him, so he hurriedly told the adviser about it.
"Do you remember what it is, Your Highness? Does it matter? How much does it matter?" After hearing this, the strategist frowned tightly and asked repeatedly.
"It doesn't matter if this thing is important, but if it is important, it can also be important, it was given to me by my mother, and I lost it accidentally."
Zhou Yu said as he came to the table, on which there was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and he picked up the pen and drew the appearance of the object on the paper.
"Your Highness's words are wrong, since it was given by His Highness's mother's concubine, it is naturally an important and important thing, maybe Niangniang has the same, why don't Your Highness give it a try?" After the strategist saw it, he said to Zhou Yu.
"Yes...... What if my mother doesn't have the same? As long as you show it to Your Majesty, it will prove that it is mine!" Zhou Yu hesitated.
"What's so hard about that? Although His Royal Highness goes first, he should say goodbye to his mother, and although he will hand it over to his subordinates, I will send someone to report the case when the day dawns again, and I will say that the house was robbed last night and lost the royal gift."
As a prince, Zhou Yu has a certain amount of real power in his hands, so the mansion naturally has some valuables.
Especially when each prince leaves the palace and opens the palace, Emperor Mingde will also give some additional things, and the objects given by the emperor are lost, which is not a trivial matter.
"Okay, there's Mr. Law." Zhou Yu hurriedly went to change his clothes.
"Your Highness doesn't need to be too anxious, although His Highness is already waiting in the palace now, but our mansion is some distance away from His Highness's mansion, and if something happens in his mansion, we can't know it immediately, it's normal."
The strategist smiled slightly and continued to speak, "If His Highness shows that he already knows, it will be suspicious, and His Highness must also adapt to the situation when he enters the palace to ask for peace."
"Your Highness may not use your belongings as we think, so you can enter the palace to ask for peace or enter the palace to ask for sin."
Zhou Yu thought about it for a while, and immediately understood what the strategist meant.
As the Son of Man, it is human nature for him to go to his mother to say goodbye, and no matter who comes, he can't find fault with it.
When he saw his mother, he first asked if there were any similar objects, and if so, he would bring them with him.
And at that time, the things in the boss's hands have become waste, and can even be used as self-directed and self-acting, or planted to blame.
If he went to ask for peace, he did not get it from his mother
The same object, that's okay, just say that I lost the gift from my mother, and I feel guilty, so I went to the palace to ask for guilt.
In addition, the government sent someone to report the case, even if he really found him in the head, he would be able to have something to say.
Thinking of this, a big stone fell to the ground in Zhou Yu's heart, he went back to the backyard to change his clothes, and when the time came, he immediately went to the palace.
Inside the palace, in the Lingyun Palace.
Zhou Yan sat on a chair and looked out of the hall from time to time.
He actually came a little unfortunate today, a few days ago, Emperor Mingde stayed in Lingyun Palace, and was only invited by Qifeng Palace last night.
Now in the harem, only Xie Cheng is pregnant, and she is Emperor Mingde's favorite concubine and the most favorite queen candidate in his heart, so he can naturally be invited.
The palace people of Lingyun Hall knew that it was about the emperor and grandson, so they didn't dare to slack off, so they went to Qifeng Palace to report the news.
However, after arriving at Qifeng Palace, no matter how big it was, they didn't dare to make a noise, for fear of scaring the pregnant concubine and alarming the dragon fetus.
So by the time Peng Hai finally handed the news to Emperor Mingde, more than half an hour had passed.
"Why didn't you call me earlier?" Turning his head to look in the direction of the inner hall, Emperor Mingde lowered his voice and asked while dressing.
"Your Majesty forgives you, and the slave wants to tell you quickly, but ...... But the slave was afraid of shocking the concubine and the imperial heir, but fortunately, the emperor and grandson were fine, and I heard that His Royal Highness was very frightened."
Peng Hai waited for Emperor Mingde to change his clothes, and also said in a low voice.
As he said this, Emperor Mingde glanced in the direction of the inner hall again and waved his hand.
As a result, the emperor's dragon chariot left Qifeng Palace and headed towards Lingyun Palace.
In the inner hall, Xie Ji was lying on the bed, her eyes were clear, she had long known that there were people outside the palace.
Although she sent someone to invite Emperor Mingde to dinner yesterday, with him by her side, she couldn't sleep soundly.
I just opened my eyes in the darkness, thinking in my heart, until someone came.
Now that Emperor Mingde had left, she yawned, rolled over, and fell asleep in a short time.
——
Emperor Mingde, who returned to Lingyun Palace, saw the eldest prince Zhou Yan rushing over, "Father, you have to make decisions for your sons and children!"
At this moment, the calm prince had red circles in his eyes, kneeling at the feet of Emperor Mingde, looking aggrieved and afraid.
"Get up, what kind of body is this?" Seeing that Zhou Yan was really pitiful, Emperor Mingde helped him, "It's good that you and the emperor and grandson are okay."
"Father, the son was not assassinated, the assassin came for the emperor's grandson! That vicious person must be jealous of his sons and want to make them dead!"
"Father, you know, after so many years, the son finally got another child, he was only a few months old, and someone actually attacked him, you must give justice to the son and the emperor!"
