Chapter 1358: Warning
When the prince received the news, the imperial edict had already come down!
He was so angry that he lost his temper in the study in the East Palace.
The Crown Princess and others were silent!
The prince becomes more gentle, amiable and dignified as he grows older. He hasn't lost his temper this badly in many years.
He tried to hold it in until he couldn't bear it anymore, but he was unwilling to give in. While his courage was still there, he went to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor, begging him to revoke his order.
"Father, Lord Shao is young after all and has never done anything like this. I think it would be more appropriate to send another experienced and prudent minister as the marriage envoy. Please think twice!"
Over the years, the prince had never opposed any of the emperor's decisions. His rebuttal did not make the emperor feel fresh or soft-hearted. Instead, he, who had always been self-centered, felt secretly angry and said coldly with a gloomy face: "Is my imperial decree a joke? How can you change your order overnight? I have my own reasons for doing this, and there is no need for you to say more, prince!"
"Prince, just do your duty. You don't need to ask about my opinion."
The prince's back was covered with cold sweat after hearing these words, so how could he dare to say another word? He repeatedly said yes respectfully, bowed and backed away.
After making inquiries, the Crown Prince finally found out that the reason his father ordered Shao Yunduan to be the marriage envoy was because of the instigation of Concubine Mei and Taoist monk Zhen.
Naturally, this was ultimately directed at me. After all, it was me who had implicated Shao Yunduan.
The prince was furious.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan knew nothing about this.
However, when the prince summoned Shao Yunduan the next day after returning to the capital, he knew everything and remained silent for a while.
The prince looked guilty, smiled bitterly and sighed, "It was me who implicated Shao Qing. I didn't expect that they would target Shao Qing like this, and I didn't expect that the emperor would actually agree to this! I went to see the emperor for this, trying to ask him to take back his decision, but unfortunately I returned in vain. I'm afraid Shao Qing can't avoid this trip."
Shao Yunduan looked at the prince with some surprise.
After the emperor issued the decree, the prince actually went to find the emperor to argue for him on this matter. This is extremely rare considering the prince's temperament and style of doing things.
What else does he have to say?
"Don't say that, Your Highness," Shao Yunduan smiled, "In fact, I am willing to take this trip to experience the customs of Qingdi. Such an opportunity is not available to everyone. Besides, Your Highness will feel more at ease if I escort Princess Shuangfu!"
In fact, Shao Yunduan and the Crown Prince both knew very well that Concubine Mei, the Fourth Prince and others were angry and embarrassed when they saw that the Crown Prince was repeatedly praised by the Emperor.
But Shao Yunduan has a close relationship with this. If they have the chance, who else would they target but Shao Yunduan?
The prince felt better after hearing his words, and sighed with emotion: "After all, you are Shao Qing, and your vision and knowledge are unmatched by ordinary people. Don't worry, I will not let you take risks, and I will send people to accompany you for protection. Moreover, as a marriage envoy, I think Qingdi will not dare to be rude. But the journey is long and difficult, and no one can predict what will happen on the way. Shao Qing must make preparations early to be prepared for all possibilities."
"If there is anything I need to do, Shao Qing, just tell me!"
"Thank you, Your Highness." Shao Yunduan nodded and said, "I will think about it carefully when I go back. I will definitely be well prepared and will not make any mistakes."
The prince nodded: "Shao Qing will definitely return safely!"
