"Oh!" The second prince Li Jingchen said that he really couldn't appreciate it. After sitting for a while, he felt that his pants were soaked with sweat.

The second prince stood up calmly and sat directly on the ground in front of the dragon table. There was no etiquette or anything like that.

The emperor frowned when he saw this, "What habit? Get up and sit on the chair."

Anyone else would have immediately gotten up in gratitude, but for the Second Prince, this was his father, so of course he could object, "Father, it's cool here. Please let me sit here for a while."

The emperor could only close his eyes, thinking out of sight, out of mind.

"Father, have you found out who was responsible for those illegitimate sons of the Xuanping Marquis's mansion?"

If the Second Prince didn't want to know the news, how could he come to work for his father for nothing? Not to mention that his father didn't like reading those nonsense letters of greeting, he didn't like it either.

The emperor looked at the Second Prince's curious expression and said with a malicious smile, "Go serve Chen'er a cup of tea!"

Eunuch He immediately went downstairs and brought a cup of tea of just the right temperature to the Second Prince.

The Second Prince was indeed thirsty, so he took a sip. Just as he had taken the drink, before he could swallow, he heard his father say, "It was the wife of the Marquis Xuanping who did it."

"Cough..." The second prince was choked by the tea in his mouth. He coughed hard for a while before he recovered.

The second prince thought of many possibilities, even thought that it was done by Marquis Xuanping, but he never thought that it was done by Marquis Xuanping's wife, Xu.

He had seen Lady Xu, the wife of the Marquis of Xuanping! In his impression, she was even a bit weak. How could this not surprise him? "Father, you said it was Lady Xu who did it?"

The emperor nodded affirmatively and signaled with his eyes that Eunuch He should show the memorial to the Second Prince.

Eunuch He immediately went to the nearby memorials that had been processed, pulled out a memorial, and respectfully presented it to the Second Prince. The Second Prince took it with both hands and immediately began to read it.

The second prince read very quickly and soon understood the whole story.

Even someone like him, who grew up in the palace and has seen many conspiracies, had to sigh, "Don't judge a book by its cover."

The emperor felt much better when he saw his son's face full of doubts about life. After all, he was not the only one who felt like he had gotten to know Xu again after seeing her.

The Second Prince was silent for a long time before he finally uttered, "Marquis Xuanping is truly blessed!"

The emperor looked at his son gloating, and he couldn't wait to make things worse for him, "You are very lucky, their two daughters are in your backyard.

It is said that the wife of Marquis Xuanping personally raised her. Didn’t I hear that she was your true love? Fortunately, you didn’t make her your principal wife at that time, otherwise you would still have children in your backyard...

The emperor said this with a look of "what do you mean?", looking at his second son. At that time, he felt a little regretful that he could not bring such a woman who could meet the future into his harem, but now he was just grateful.

He didn't have too many children to begin with, and he couldn't afford it.

After hearing the emperor's words, the second prince jumped up from the ground and said, "Father, I have to go back and make some arrangements. You can have fun on your own!"

After the Second Prince finished speaking, he immediately saluted and ran away impatiently. He was not in a hurry to return to the mansion to make arrangements, mainly because he had no children in his backyard, and his only child was still in Xie Zixin's belly.

He mainly didn't want to see his father's gloating look.

The Second Prince came out of the Imperial Study and didn't rush back to the palace. Instead, he wandered towards the city gate. This kind of thing should be shared with a friend.

Yuan Bohua was also shocked when he heard about this. He actually had a different opinion from the Second Prince. He felt that the Marquis of Xuanping was a truly ruthless person. So many children had died, yet he remained indifferent.

Marquis Xuanping: Who said that I was indifferent? I still vomited blood.

When Yuan Bohua heard the news, he immediately decided to take a day off and go back to talk to Yue'er about this matter. Yue'er would definitely be happy.

So Yuan Bohua turned his gaze towards the Second Prince. In the Second Prince's surprised gaze, he pinched his throat and shouted, "Second cousin..."

The Second Prince shuddered. "If you have something to say, just say it. It's quite scary for a grown man to act like this."

"I haven't seen the princess for several days! I'm going back to the palace and would like to trouble my second cousin to help me keep an eye on her."

Yuan Bohua quickly added under the Second Prince's increasingly irritable gaze, "Don't worry, I will definitely be back before dark, and I have already made all the arrangements. I'm just worried that if something unexpected happens, my brother-in-law won't be able to handle it."

Your Highness, just help your eldest cousin to calm down the situation. My eldest brother-in-law can handle the rest of the matters."

The Second Prince saw that Yuan Bohua had indeed made all the arrangements, and that his cousin was indeed capable. He looked at his friend's bandaged arm again, and finally he compromised and said in a fake tone:

"Now that you're back, why not spend one more night with my cousin? She must be worried about you too."

The second prince originally thought that Yuan Bohua would refuse. After all, this guy didn't even go to defend himself because he was worried about the city gate.

However, to the Second Prince's disappointment, Yuan Bohua agreed immediately, "Thank you very much, Second Cousin."

Second Prince: He finally understands what it means to shoot himself in the foot.

"Get out!" The second prince was visibly irritable at this moment.

Yuan Bohua didn't care about the Second Prince's attitude at all and immediately took Fang Fu away. Now that he had gained the benefits, he should hurry back to find Yue'er!

In fact, the second prince agreed mainly because he didn't know how to face his "true love" in the mansion after returning home. After all, Xie Zixin was pregnant, and as long as he returned home, he would definitely go to see her.

Yuan Bohua didn't care about that. As long as someone was keeping an eye on it for him, it would be fine.

At this time in the imperial study, the eldest prince Li Jingze was accusing the second prince and Yuan Bohua. First, how could Yuan Bohua leave his post without permission, and second, how could the second prince get involved in military power. Although it was only for one day, the eldest prince was still indignant.

Eunuch He, who was standing by, listened to the eldest prince's indignant complaint, but on the surface he acted respectfully as a background figure. But in his heart, he was also complaining, "If you knew that the second prince had sat on the throne this morning, you would be so angry that you would faint!"

The emperor listened to the eldest prince mumbling for a long time and found out that it was just this simple matter. As a father, he knew what the second prince was thinking.

It's just that she was hit hard and didn't know how to face her 'true love' when she returned. She escaped for a whole night. How could it be worth it for the eldest prince to go to the palace to complain?

"Fuan has been injured and hasn't rested yet. What's the use of resting for one night? Besides, your brother is only there for one night. If nothing goes wrong, those people won't even see him. How can they listen to him?

"Grow your brain! Back off! Stop causing trouble for me."

The Emperor was speechless about his eldest son. His thoughts were all on his face, and he couldn't even pretend. It was not easy for the Empress to tolerate him.

Compared with Marquis Xuanping, he now thinks the queen is incomparably better.
