Chapter 392 Father and Son Talk

This is interesting!

I really didn't expect that the Mi family's little thoughts would be so obvious and so impatient.

Zhou Hansheng just felt it was ironic.

The emperor was not favored by the emperor in the past, and even the Crown Princess's family background was not high, let alone Concubine Mi's.

Mi Fei's family is not only powerless, but also not very smart. Mi Fei herself is beautiful, but she has also inherited her family's nature of being brainless and not very smart.

Otherwise, Concubine Yan would not have given her to the emperor.

Even this family couldn't help themselves.

To put it bluntly, they are not afraid of killing themselves!

But who can blame this woman for being so lucky? It just so happens that she gave birth to the emperor's only son. It just so happens that the emperor's health is not very good, and it is hard to say what his future offspring will be like. And it just so happens that the eldest prince is a good child and is very lovable.

For the sake of the eldest prince, this matter needs to be handled properly.

Although the eldest prince did not agree with Concubine Mi, and even disliked getting along with her and did not listen to her much, she was his biological mother after all. If he was not careful, a rift would arise between the eldest prince and the emperor, which would not be good.

Zhou Hansheng thought about it for a long time and decided to hold back for the time being. He reported everything he had found out to the emperor.

The emperor laughed when he heard it, just like Zhou Hansheng's reaction.

“This Mi family!”

How ungrateful.

They had just straightened their heads and enjoyed a few days of good life, but they started to feel restless.

Although such people are stupid, stupid people often do things unconventionally, and are more likely to cause big messes. It is better to clean them up once and for all to prevent future troubles.

The emperor thought for a while and ordered Zhou Hansheng to continue the secret investigation and arrest those who fabricated the most slanderous slanders to make an example of them.

He called the eldest prince over and told him everything in detail without hiding anything from him.

The eldest prince was not young anymore, and being born into the royal family meant he had no choice but to grow up quickly. He deserved to know these things.

"There's nothing to worry about between us father and son. Nian'er, if you have any opinions on this matter, just tell me and I'll listen. It doesn't matter if you're wrong. Let's discuss this properly."

"Yes, Father!"

The eldest prince felt warm in his heart, his shock and astonishment eased a little, and he nodded.

The eldest prince said in a low voice without hesitation, "I believe they are gravely wrong in this matter. Lord Zhao is not that kind of person, and they should not slander him. Moreover, Lord Zhao is loyal to me and my father, and has made great sacrifices for me. If they truly cared about me and my father, they would not do such a thing! The Zhao family is ungrateful. Since they have already expelled Lord Zhao from the clan, they should not continue to pester him. It is only natural that Lord Zhao refuses to return to the clan."

The emperor nodded with a smile, feeling quite relieved.

This son did not disappoint him after all!

If he hesitates and is conflicted, it will disappoint him.

His statement at least shows that he has a clear mind and is clear about what he is doing.

"Nian'er, do you know why the Mi family did this?"

"this--"

The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then slowly shook his head: "I am ignorant. I can't think of any reason for them to do this. I hope your Majesty will teach me."

He was indeed filled with doubts. The Mi family and Uncle Zhao had no grudges against each other. They should even be in the same camp and friends, right? Why would they do this?

This not only shocked him, but also disappointed him and made him confused.

The emperor sighed inwardly. He was still young, after all. There were so many twists and turns here that he didn't understand. From now on, when he summoned ministers or reviewed memorials, he should always bring him with him, so he could see and learn more.

"Because of you."

"Ah? Because, because of your son?"

The Second Prince was stunned and looked even more confused.

"Because I trust and respect Lord Zhao, and because you also respect and trust Lord Zhao, and are very close to the Zhao family, the Mi family is feeling uncomfortable."

The second prince opened his eyes wide, a little confused, "."

What Father said definitely makes sense. However, I still don't quite understand it.

Is there any relationship between the two?

The Emperor sneered, "Because you, Nian'er, are the daughter of Concubine Mi, the Mi family naturally thinks you should be closer to them, and that they are the ones you trust and value the most! They think Zhao Aiqing and the Zhao family have taken everything away from you!"

The eldest prince's face flushed with anger. "W-What are you talking about! How could they think that?!"

The emperor sighed: "Yes, how could they think so!"

“They weren’t like this before.”

The emperor couldn't help but laugh: "Nian'er, in the past, you were just a bastard son of a crown prince whose status was precarious. You had no sense of existence and your health was not good. In the eyes of many people, I was nothing, let alone you. Now, of course, things are different!"

The eldest prince suddenly opened his eyes wide and was stunned.

Before my father ascended the throne, the Mi family seemed to have no such person as him. No one had ever visited him at the Prince's residence, and they had no contact with him. There was no mention of care and love.

It's funny to say that it was only after his father ascended the throne that he met the Mi family for the first time, including his grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and others.

The first impression they gave him was actually quite good. They greeted him with smiles, and were respectful and approachable. Although they behaved a bit flatteringly, that was normal. After all, he was the prince and they were just his subjects.

Now I think they are just a group of people who curry favor with the powerful and seek profit and avoid harm.

The eldest prince felt a little lost and a little sad.

But not much.

"Father, I understand! My maternal family is the Lu family, and my mother is my legal mother. As for the Mi family, they will get what they deserve, but they shouldn't think about what they don't deserve."

"I'm relieved that you think this way! They dare to think about things they shouldn't think about. I won't give them a chance to regret it. Otherwise, it will only make them more daring. I won't leave this hidden danger. No matter what I do, don't think too much!"

"Yes, Father, I understand!"

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Go!"

The emperor immediately ordered someone to issue an order to Zhou Hansheng and conduct a thorough investigation.

Zhou Hansheng went to the Zhao family, revealed the emperor's intentions, comforted his father-in-law, mother-in-law and fiancée, discussed with his father-in-law, and then took action with lightning speed.

Since the emperor and the eldest prince have the same intention, what is there to worry about?

The Duke of Liguo's Mansion is now too powerful, and it's time for them to do something to show off their power and domineering behavior.
