At this time, in the imperial palace in Jinzhou City, the capital, the emperor was losing his temper in Concubine Liu's Jinchen Palace.

Wine glasses were smashed one after another, and the maids were so frightened that they knelt in two rows, not daring to express their anger.

However, Concubine Liu Guifei beside her was still leaning on the emperor's arms in an enchanting posture. She must have been extremely favored.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry again. It's not worth getting so angry!"

Concubine Liu spoke delicately, stretched out her soft little hands and patted the emperor's chest to help. He was happy.

The other hand took out a brocade box from the drawer next to it, opened it carefully, took out the golden elixir and brought it to the emperor's mouth. The emperor opened his mouth and swallowed it without any doubt.

"Humph, if my sons could be as considerate as my beloved concubine, I wouldn't have these troubles. It's a pity that my beloved concubine doesn't know how to solve my problems!"

The emperor grabbed Concubine Liu's little hand, brought it to his mouth and kissed it. Even though he was very angry, he was still very gentle to this beloved concubine, which showed that this beloved concubine was quite capable.

"Your Majesty didn't even tell me what's bothering you. Even if I want to help you solve your problems, I can't help you!"

Concubine Liu curled her lips in grievance. , tears instantly filled his eyes.

The look of pear blossoms with rain made the emperor feel so distressed that he coaxed her: "My beloved, don't be sad, I said the wrong thing. In fact, it doesn't hurt to tell you."
< br />The emperor took a breath and said very troubledly: "The recent assassination of Prince Nantai has become known to everyone. My beloved concubine has also heard about it, right?"

Concubine Liu Guifei He nodded obediently and asked: "Isn't this a good thing for us?"

"It is a good thing, but the third child takes all the credit!"

This is what made the emperor angry. When he first learned about the incident in Nantai, the emperor was still very happy. After all, the prince of Nantai had been ambitious for a year or two. He wanted to take advantage of the drought in Beiyan to send troops to Nantai. Just to take advantage of Prince Nantai's idea.

Within a few days, the trend changed. The people indiscriminately attributed this credit to King Lao Sanchen. Where did they put him as an emperor?

It is a royal taboo for a son to be loved more than me.

“You are fabricating right and wrong before you find out the truth. Why is the third child so eager for success and profit?”

The emperor can’t hear any good words now. From his tone, he felt that the son was extremely ambitious and was planning to seize the throne before he died.

Concubine Liu Guifei heard what the emperor meant, which was that she was incompetent and could notDon’t allow others to have abilities.

She said with a smile: "It turns out that the emperor is angry with King Chen. Isn't this easy to handle? I have a way to weaken his spirit, but it depends on the emperor. I can’t bear to part with you anymore.”

As he said this, he pointed at the emperor’s heart with his red fingernails very ambiguously.

These words should not have come out of the mouth of a beloved concubine, but the emperor loved her and not only was he not angry, he was also very happy.

"Speak quickly, my beloved concubine!"

"According to the emperor's wishes, King Chen has been in a lot of limelight recently and has made the emperor unhappy, so let him eat something The pain is over. Isn’t there still no one to manage Changzhou? Why don’t the emperor let King Chen try it?”

As soon as Liu Guifei said these words, the emperor’s eyes suddenly lit up.

It has not rained in Changzhou, and now no one is willing to change it. It just happened to throw out the King Chen who was in the limelight. Firstly, it can act as a deterrent to the victims. Secondly, Chen When the king went to Changzhou, no one was hanging around in front of him, so he didn't have to be so upset.

“My beloved concubine is really smart!”

He hugged the woman in his arms and gave her a big kiss, then stood up and left in a hurry.

It wasn’t until his figure completely disappeared from Jinchen Palace that Concubine Liu wiped her face in disgust.

It was exactly where the old emperor had just kissed.

"Okay, all of you, get up, clean up these messes, and carry hot water for me to take a bath."

Concubine Liu was supported by her maid, and she slowly walked Entered the inner hall.

As soon as the emperor returned, he sent people to find King Chen to see him, and then dumped the troubles in Changzhou on him very concisely and clearly.

"Father, I am willing to go to Changzhou, but the drought in Changzhou is serious, and the state treasury needs to be opened to release grain and silver, otherwise the riots in Qianzhou City will inevitably not happen again."

King Chen didn’t have any objections. He originally wanted to find a chance to go out and avoid the limelight, but speaking too loudly would do him no good.

Originally, I wanted to ask Sun Qi for credit when he came back, but now that the emperor was obviously unhappy, I could only postpone the matter.

Hearing that he wanted both money and food, the emperor was naturally reluctant, but he remembered that the incident in Qianzhou City was indeed quite serious, and it would be bad if it came to the capital, so he decided to He reluctantly agreed to King Chen's unreasonable request.

King Chen was ordered to leave the palace. When his confidant Cheng Meng knew about this, he couldn't help but complained in a low voice: "I really don't know what the emperor is thinking. What your highness did was clearly a good thing for the country and the people." , you are going to be rewarded, why are you still in such trouble when you are in front of the emperor!"

If King Chen hadn’t looked a bit like the emperor, he would have doubted whether King Chen was the emperor’s biological child!

King Chen gave a wry smile. Since ancient times, accompanying a king has been like accompanying a tiger. So what if it was his own son? If he felt that he was in danger, he would naturally find a way to get rid of him quickly.

Actually speaking, the emperor is quite tolerant. In recent years, some people have been behind the scenes, exaggerating his reputation and saying that he is more popular than the emperor.

Any superior would be unhappy hearing such words. Although he sent people to investigate, he found nothing, so he could only keep a low profile as much as possible.

But the incident with Prince Nantai still aroused the emperor's fear of him.

"Don't say these useless things, go and prepare, and follow me to Changzhou in three days."

Cheng Meng agreed immediately and did not dare to say more.

Now his master is really a wolf in the front and a tiger in the back. He only hopes that everything goes well for Sun Qi and the others, that they can find out the spy who has been in private contact with Nantai, and then return to the court smoothly.

In this way, the master will have more people around him that can be used, and he will not have to run around like this anymore.

At the same time, King Jing also learned about this and was overjoyed, thinking that this was his opportunity.

However, he knew that he had always been reckless, so he did not act rashly. He sent someone to the Lin Mansion to invite Lin Yiping over for discussion.

The men came back and said that Lin Yiping had gone out for fun, just this morning.

This is really unfortunate.

"Your Highness, Mr. Lin also left a message for Your Highness, saying that you can do whatever you want, but you must be careful and don't leave any trouble in the future."

This sentence successfully pleased King Jing, who laughed and said: "As expected of Brother Yiping, who knows me so well! Naturally, I will not be stupid enough to do it myself. You can find someone to send the news to the Prince's Mansion. I can’t believe that the prince would miss such a good opportunity!”

　“Yes!”
