When He Hua saw the young lady looking like this, she was very puzzled.
"Miss, where is the world without fragrant grass? Even if there is no Mr. Liancheng, there will still be good men. Why do you bother to become a Taoist nun for the sake of Mr. Liancheng?"
Shi Jiang stretched out his hand and tapped her forehead lightly, laughing softly.
"I guess your idea is what everyone in Kyoto thinks now! That's all, just think that I'm just thinking about it because of love!"
I picked up the storybook at hand and read it again.
"Madam, please listen to my advice. Believe me, Jiang Er has her own reasons for doing this. You also know what happened before. We are walking on thin ice in our house now, and we must not let anything happen again.
Moreover, my daughter said she was practicing cultivation with her hair on, but in fact she just stayed at home and didn’t go out!
It's no different from the past when you told her to stay at home and not go crazy, don't you think?"
After instructing Shi Wang to take Shi Chen back to his yard, Shi's father took his wife and comforted her in a soft voice.
After hearing what her husband said, Mrs. Shi thought about it carefully and realized that it was really the case.
Originally, according to my daughter's temperament since she was a child, she has been impatient and can't stand it.
She was very angry because of this, her daughter was not ladylike enough.
Now that her daughter is willing to stay in the yard and not come out, she is worried.
"How can Jiang'er's temperament change so easily? I'm afraid that if she stays in the yard all the time, what should I do if she can't think about it anymore?"
Mrs. Shi wiped the tears from her eyes and said worriedly.
"Just wait a little longer, Jiang Er said that all the evidence has been handed over to His Highness the Second Prince. Now, we can only wait!"
Didn't Shi's father know that what his wife said was right?
However, what my daughter is doing now is the best way to deal with the Shifu.
Is it possible that we really want him to lead the entire government to resist the decree?
Even if he had half-hearted intentions to fight against the royal family, let alone the few people he has at his disposal now, even in the past, he was just a general in charge of Zhenbei.
What ability do you have to stand up to the emperor?
For the current plan, we cannot rely solely on the second prince's decision.
Shi's father secretly made up his mind. If he saw that the situation was not good, he would let the subordinates who followed him take their wives and children to leave first.
And now that he is just a disabled body, it will be inconvenient for him to escape.
In addition, there must be someone who can control the situation at this time, so I definitely can't leave.
I just hope that my wife and children will no longer be tainted by the court and find a place with beautiful scenery to escape from the world.
However, he did not tell Mrs. Shi and his children about his plan.
Because Shi's father knew that if he made such a suggestion, they would definitely not agree!
Chu Ziqing came out of Shi Mansion and got on the carriage. He looked at the evidence in his hand with confusion.
"Go to...the East Palace."
It was difficult to spit out these three words from his mouth. He wanted to confirm with the emperor brother. He didn't want to believe that the emperor brother was such a person.
"What did you say?"
The prince was drinking by himself in the pavilion in the garden of Zhengdong Palace, but when he heard the attendant coming to report, he frowned slightly because he was tipsy.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince wishes to see you."
The prince took a deep breath and waved his sleeves.
"Let him in."
"Brother Royal."
Chu Ziqing came in and saluted the prince.
"It's the second brother, come here quickly and have a drink with the royal brother."
A smile appeared on the prince's face, he waved Chu Ziqing into the pavilion, took out a cup, placed it in front of Chu Ziqing, and poured him a cup.
Chu Ziqing stared at the full glass of wine for a long time, just when the prince thought that this second brother would use the Taoist rules to excuse himself from drinking.
Unexpectedly, Chu Ziqing raised his hand, pinched the wine glass with white finger bones, raised his head suddenly, and drank the wine in the glass.
"Brother Emperor, I would like to know why Brother Emperor treats his own people like this?"
After Chu Ziqing finished speaking, his face turned crimson and he covered his mouth and coughed repeatedly.
He had never drank wine since he was a child, and he didn't expect wine to be so spicy.
When the prince heard Chu Ziqing's words, his slightly drunken eyes immediately became sharp.
He slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, stared at Chu Ziqing and said.
"Second brother, what do you mean?"
"Brother, we are full brothers from the same father and mother. I just want to know why you treat your people like this? Haven't you ever felt uneasy for a moment?"
Chu Zi stood up loudly, staggering a little, pointed at the prince and shouted loudly.
The prince's pupils shrank suddenly, and when he thought carefully about what he had done, Chu Zi knew that there was absolutely no way he would know.
"Second brother, you are drunk! Did you come to my East Palace this time to take advantage of the opportunity to get drunk and go crazy?
Come, please send the second prince to the side hall, don't let him disturb the nobles."
Regardless of whether the second brother knows it or not, just in case, we will confine him first.
Anyway, for the father, the emperor, and the queen, it is normal for the second brother to often not come to the palace because he has to clean up.
As for how long he would be imprisoned for, the prince picked up the wine glass he had just put down and drank it in one gulp, with a sneer on his lips.
Liancheng's wedding night was the day when he held great power.
When the time comes, he will let everyone in the world know that he is the one who can make the decision.
"……hiss!"
The queen suddenly retracted her hand and saw a drop of blood pricking her fingertips from the flower thorn.
"Mother, are you okay?"
When Gong E saw this, she was so frightened that she quickly stepped forward to check.
"It's okay, it's just that I was careless! I don't know why, but I've been feeling uneasy these past few days."
When the queen saw that the personal maid was about to reprimand the little maid who brought flowers, she immediately stopped her gently, and then put her injured finger into her mouth, looking a little dazed.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince must have not been in the palace in the past few days. The Queen misses him so much!"
"Zitong, are you okay?"
The emperor walked in quickly from outside the palace, held her hand and checked her carefully. He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was fine.
"That brat, once he ran to that Taoist temple, he didn't want to come back. Sooner or later I'll demolish that awesome Taoist temple to see if that brat can still go."
The emperor said angrily.
The second child had promised before that he would come to the palace to accompany his mother every day during the day, but now he has not been seen for three days!
"The second child is not that ignorant. His imperial sister will be back soon after she gets married."
Seeing that the emperor was so angry, the queen quickly stepped forward, took his arm and persuaded him.
"Your Majesty, your soup is ready!"
The eunuch came in with the boiled soup and said respectfully to the emperor.
"Is your Majesty feeling well?"
When the queen saw this, she asked anxiously.
"Nothing's wrong. I just started feeling a bit itchy in my throat a few days ago. The people at the hospital were in a hurry, fearing that I might catch a cold, so they boiled some soup and drank it as a precaution."
The emperor patted the back of the queen's hand and comforted her.
Then he called to someone to bring over the soup and drink it all in one gulp!
