Zhou Yan and Li Ke are not deaf, the emperor's voice is so loud, it is impossible for the two of them not to hear it.

Li Ke glanced at Zhou Yan, and seeing that Zhou Yan looked calm, he turned his head to Uncle Guo again, who wanted to follow them together, but was blocked by Jin Zhong.

"Uncle Guo, you are ...... Don't be embarrassed, this is the emperor's order. ”

The emperor is angry now, how many dare not listen to him?

Uncle Guo hesitated for a while, carefully weighed the pros and cons, and finally gave up a position.

As soon as Li Ke and Zhou Yanfang entered, they knelt on the ground, and the palace maid was serving the emperor with medicine, and it was very quiet, and only the sound of soup entering the stomach could be heard.

The two of them knelt for about two quarters of an hour, Zhou Yan practiced martial arts, and never slacked off every day, and he didn't feel anything, but Li Ke, since he was with Su Xiaoxiao, he had gradually slackened a little, although those moves were still familiar with his heart, but his physique could not keep up, he was a little shaky, and all of them were taken into the eyes of the emperor.

"Why, can't you do it well as a prince, can't you even do it well as a son?" The emperor's eyes were sharp, and although his voice was still empty, his momentum had not diminished.

The prince's body trembled, and he quickly straightened his back: "Father Emperor Mingjian, the son does not have any rebellious thoughts. ”

"When did I say you did?" There was a deep disappointment in the emperor's eyes, "Since I was a child, I have always treated you as a prince, Taifu, Taiwei, which is not the top talent in the country, how do you repay me?" ”

"It's the son's fault, the son-in-law has failed his father's hopes, and the son-in-law will definitely correct it in the future." Li Ke kowtowed respectfully.

The emperor looked indifferent, and put the tea cup in his hand on the table: "Correction? How much time do you have left to make a correction? I'm crumbling now, and I don't know when I'm going to die, so in a short time, can you change it back? ”

“…… Father, don't talk this kind of nonsense! The prince said, "Even if you can't, your sons will work hard, and your father can send some henchmen to supervise your sons, and your sons are not without self-control, they just want to reassure their father." ”

The emperor smiled meaninglessly, and looked at Zhou Yan: "The king." ”

"The son is here." Zhou Yan clenched his fists, lowered his eyes, and the number of rituals was not leaky, and he couldn't make a mistake at all.

"In the past, my father couldn't stand you, and I hope you don't get angry with your father." The emperor's words really seem to be something that he will only say when he is dying.

Li Ke looked at the emperor in surprise and then looked at Zhou Yan, he clenched his hands into fists, with a little unwillingness in his eyes, why is it Zhou Yan again, why did good things fall on Zhou Yan's head again?

He looked at the figure of Zhou Yan kneeling beside him, Zhou Yan's expression did not fluctuate, he said word by word: "The father is tormenting the son like this, the son and the father are connected by blood, the father naturally has the father's plan to do things, the son believes in the father, and naturally he will not resentment the father." ”

Zhou Yan said: "In the past, Erchen didn't want anything else, but now Erchen has the Fifth Moon Girl by his side, and his goal is to ask to marry the Fifth Moon and make a pair of happy mandarin ducks with the Fifth Girl." ”

"Who assassinated my father, and this matter has an eyebrow?"

Zhou Yan changed the topic in a timely manner, and Li Ke realized that he was shocked by what the emperor said, and completely forgot to comfort the emperor.

"This matter has been handed over to Changyi, the last time the fifth moon girl was assassinated, Changyi followed the vine and found an arms storage point on the outskirts of Beijing." The emperor's expression was faint, "I went to Weifu for a private visit today, and I was ambushed, so I was seriously injured." ”

The emperor's sharp gaze swept over the faces of the two: "What do you two think about this matter?" Who could it be that would have such a rebellious heart? ”

Zhou Yan pursed his lips: "The suburbs of Beijing...... There are many officials who like to go to the suburbs of Beijing, and there are three roads in the suburbs of Beijing, one is to trade in business, but Buddhist temples, and the third is the path that the surrounding peasants walked. ”

"Buddhist temples and merchants will not hide such conspicuous things on the road, Erchen guessed, it should be found on the road, this person should be very familiar with the terrain of the suburbs of Beijing, you can check on a few officials who have industries in the suburbs of Beijing, and some people do it seamlessly, you need to implement every village around the road, go to check, investigate the situation, the matter of the community is a major matter of the country, not sloppy."

Li Ke opened his mouth, Zhou Yan had already said everything he could say, he pursed his lips, and could only lower his head and say, "What His Royal Highness said is extremely reasonable. ”

"So, I already have a number in my heart, you stand down, I am tired, you have to rest." The emperor lay back. Jin Zhong removed the soft quilt behind him so that the emperor could lie down.

"The retainers retired."

After two goodbyes, Li Ke and Zhou Yan both left.

The emperor's eyes fell on Jin Zhong, and when he watched Jin Zhong refill the teacup, he suddenly asked: "Jin Zhong, what do you think of today's events?" ”

The tea in Jin Zhong's hand shook, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the miscellaneous family definitely has no two hearts!" ”

"The miscellaneous family grew up with you since childhood, and they will definitely not do such a thing!"

Jin Zhong looked frightened and kowtowed several times.

The emperor pinched his eyebrows a little helplessly: "When did I say that I wanted to test you?" I know your friendship with me. ”

"It's just that you think the king and the crown prince, who could it be?"

After repeatedly confirming that there was indeed no killing intent and temptation in the eyes of the emperor, Jin Zhong bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the miscellaneous family thinks that His Royal Highness speaks without leakage, acts prudently, and deserves to be of great use, if it was the previous Royal Highness the Prince, he may be able to match it, but the current His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"

Everyone could see that Li Ke was full of horses and feet, and his expression was flustered, this was no longer the quality that an emperor should have.

"Although this is true, but do not take it lightly, these two children of mine are not fuel-efficient lamps, today they were suddenly called by me, they spoke panickedly and suspiciously, and they still can't assert it."

The emperor pinched his eyebrows, now their relatives need to be so worried, this is probably the disadvantage of supreme power.

"What's going on with Emperor Rong? I heard that Uncle Guo forced the prince to kill Su Xiaoxiao today, did he kill him? The emperor's eyes shone with shrewdness, and there was a bit of calculation in his eyes.

Jin Zhong bowed: "Emperor Rong's concubine has very little contact with the crown princess now, and Uncle Guo's matter today is ...... The jury is still out. ”

Jin Zhong's voice was lowered: "Our people were all cleared out at the last moment. ”

The emperor nodded, did not speak, only raised his chin, and motioned for Jin Zhong to retreat as well.
