"Huh?" Chu Jing's face suddenly darkened, and his voice was cold, not at all as kind as before, "Princess, are you questioning my decision?"
"I don't dare!" Qi Yuling saw that Chu Jing was angry and bowed quickly, "I am just thinking that although King Han is not favored, he is the prince after all. It must be that not only the prince is staring at him, but others are also staring at him
he."
"In this case, why does the prince need to be such a villain? It is better to give the opportunity to overthrow King Han to others, but the prince can also help with a few words of persuasion to show the prince's magnanimity as the eldest son of the emperor. When the time comes, the father will be happy,
Maybe we can make the prince the crown prince."
As Qi Yuling spoke, her mind was running rapidly, and she managed to finish her words.
She must never let Yan Jun enter Prince Jing's palace!
Chu Jing looked at Qi Yuling carefully for a long time, and finally nodded slowly, "What you said makes some sense, but it does not conflict with my arrangement. You go first to collect evidence of King Han's crime. I have it
King Han’s evidence of crime is already invincible even if he doesn’t take action.”
"Yes, I, my concubine, will come over right now." Qi Yuling responded, turned around and left.
A moment later, she was sitting on the carriage heading to Prince Han's Mansion, her brows furrowed.
She didn't dare not to convey Chu Jing's meaning to Yan Jun's ears, but on the contrary, she had to try to prevent Yan Jun from entering Prince Jing's palace. She couldn't even think about it!
…
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
In the huge imperial study room, the atmosphere was as depressing as ever, even three points more depressing than usual.
Eunuch Liu stood aside with his head bowed, not even daring to take a breath, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"Lao Wu, you are so brave!" Emperor Zhaochu suddenly scolded in a loud voice. The scolding echoed continuously in the imperial study room, carrying a strong pressure.
Chu Han's face was expressionless, but he lowered his eyes slightly. His voice was calm and slightly cool, "I don't know why I am so bold. Please let me know."
"Are you pretending to be stupid with me?" Emperor Zhaochu glanced at Chu Han with cold eyes, with anger on his face, "Okay! Kneel outside for me! When will you figure it out, when will you come in again!"
When Eunuch Liu saw that the emperor was angry, he knelt down with a thud and smashed his head on the ground, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
The emperor didn't even ask, and just made him kneel down!
Chu Han's black eyes moved, and his heart seemed to be immersed in cold water, and it was as cold as ice. However, he still stood, and his back was straight, "My son, please leave."
As a sonorous and powerful voice sounded, he was about to exit the imperial study, when the voice of the Crown Princess suddenly sounded outside.
"Wait a minute!" the Crown Princess shouted, and then entered the imperial study room. She saw Chu Han standing upright and safe. She breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Emperor Zhaochu, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?
You summoned Lao Wu into the palace without asking any questions, and you haven’t even figured out the matter yet, so you’re going to kneel down as a punishment?”
When Emperor Zhaochu heard the voice of the Crown Princess, he knew the purpose of the Crown Princess's trip. He immediately darkened his eyes and a cold look appeared on his face, "Mother, Concubine, you can no longer condone Lao Wu in this matter! He is doing it for himself.
Self-interest has disturbed the people and made them panic! If the trouble continues like this, the entire capital will fall into panic!"
"Moreover, even if I summon him into the palace, the search for assassins is still going on! He has no intention of repenting at all. Do you still want to help him?"
"The Ai family can't control so much! The Ai family only knows that if something happens, solve it. You can't kneel down without asking questions!" The Crown Princess had a very tough attitude, protecting Chu Han like an old hen protecting its chicks.
.
Chu Han's lowered black eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of his mouth seemed to have some warmth.
"..." Facing the Crown Princess's strength, Emperor Zhaochu paused for a moment and could only nod his head, "Okay, I listen to my concubine. Concubine, the sun has set and it's cold outside. You'd better go back."
Come to Yonghua Palace, don’t get caught in the cold. Eunuch Liu, send the Crown Princess back!"
The Crown Princess was a little surprised to see Emperor Zhaochu's tough attitude.
Emperor Zhao Chu even wanted to expel her, just because Chu Han disturbed some people?
She glanced at Chu Han with her old eyes, and persuaded Chu Han: "Lao Wu, if there is anything, please explain it clearly to your father. Don't act out of anger, otherwise you will be the one who suffers! After all, your father
As the leader of a country, he can't just protect you, but also take care of the people, which is also very difficult for him to do."
"Thank you for your concern, Grandma Imperial. Your grandson will definitely cooperate with your father to find out this matter." Chu Han bowed towards the Imperial Concubine, his tone calm.
"Okay, then the Ai family will leave." After the Crown Princess said this, she had no choice but to leave the Imperial Study Room. All in all, she did not stay in the Imperial Study Room for more than a cup of tea.
After all, Emperor Zhaochu is the king of a country. Even if she is Emperor Zhaochu's mother, the most she can do is take the opportunity to persuade him, and she cannot resist or disobey the decree.
After going out, she looked back at the imperial study room, sighed, turned around and left.
Chu Han was just tracing the whereabouts of the assassin, so Emperor Zhaochu treated Chu Han like this, which was a little too harsh, alas.
After the Crown Princess left, Emperor Zhaochu once again looked at Chu Han with cold eyes. Although he did not kneel down again, his tone was even colder, "King Han, in order to absolve you of your guilt, you even invited your royal grandmother here.
, simply unfilial!”
Chu Han's expression remained motionless, his thin lips parted slightly, "Father, the emperor clearly knows that I did not invite the emperor's grandmother to come over."
Emperor Zhaochu naturally didn't believe it. Seeing Chu Han's calm expression without any fear, his eyes suddenly turned cold, "You still dare to lie to me?"
Chu Han stood there, looking straight ahead, and did not explain any more.
Emperor Zhaochu glanced at Chu Han with cold eyes. The cold light slowly faded and he concentrated in his eyes. "Since you know that searching for assassins like this is wrong, why do you still do it?"
"For your own selfish interests, you don't even care about the safety of the people around you? When did I have a son as selfish as you?"
Facing Emperor Zhaochu's accusation, Chu Han showed no expression on his face, but his heart was even more stunned. His extremely calm voice revealed indifference, "An assassin appeared in Erchen's mansion and was seriously injured by Erchen's men. It is also necessary to conduct a thorough investigation of the whereabouts of the assassin."
For the sake of the safety of the surrounding people."
"Compared with safety, safety is naturally more important."
"That's nonsense!" Emperor Zhaochu looked at Chu Han with a cold face, his eyes as cold as winter, "You don't have to make sophistry in front of me about this matter. You are disturbing the people without permission. If you don't deal with it, the people will not be angry. You are
As a prince, if you knowingly commit a crime, your crime will be increased by one degree!"
"From now on, you will be fined for one year, and the military talisman will be handed over to others for custody. During the period of the fine, the marriage of the concubine will be temporarily suspended and will be discussed after one year. This is to warn yourself that you must do things in the future.
You must put the people first, and you cannot be given any preferential treatment just because you are a prince!"
Emperor Zhaochu's words were high-sounding.
After hearing this, Chu Han's dark eyes suddenly deepened, he raised his eyes and looked directly at Emperor Zhaochu, his voice was as solid as a rock, "Father, my son's thorough investigation of the assassin has nothing to do with marrying the concubine, and should not be confused!"
