Chapter 462: The position of the Eastern Palace may be unstable
"Eunuch Cao, I want to see the Crown Prince." Outside the Yangxin Palace, Li Suining found Eunuch Cao.
"Little County Lady, do you have any urgent business?" Eunuch Cao was obviously a little embarrassed. "The Crown Prince is having dinner with the Emperor, the Empress, and the Crown Prince of Dongchu right now."
Li Suining hesitated for a moment, but nodded affirmatively, "Eunuch Cao, I won't delay the Crown Prince for too long. I'll just say a few words to him."
She really had no choice. The only person she could rely on now was Yuan Huaihong.
"Well, don't worry, little county lady. I'll go in and pass on the message." Eunuch Cao knew the relationship between the prince and the little county lady, and the people in the Imperial Master's Palace also looked at the little county lady differently, so he would try his best to help.
When he entered the side hall, Yuan Tianchen and others were indeed having breakfast.
"What's wrong?" When Yuan Tianchen saw him come in, he guessed that he had something to convey.
"In reply to the emperor," Eunuch Cao glanced at Yuan Huaihong, "The young county lady is outside. She said...she wants to speak to the prince."
"Sister Suining is here?" Yuan Huaihong immediately put down his chopsticks and was about to go out.
Shangguan Jinglan, who was standing next to him, grabbed his wrist and stopped him from leaving. She scolded him coldly, "Why is this girl becoming more and more unruly? Eunuch Cao, didn't you tell her that we had guests?"
"What's the urgent matter? She has to tell you now?"
"Mother!" Yuan Huaihong pulled his hand back forcefully. "Sister Suining is not an ignorant child. Since she is here, it must be urgent. I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."
"Stop!" Shangguan Jinglan was very dissatisfied. "If she really has something to say, let her come in and tell it. I want to hear it. What urgent matter could she have?"
Yuan Huaihong's expression changed. There were only a few things that Li Suining was anxious to find him for, and they were obviously not suitable to be discussed in front of everyone.
He knew that his mother could guess what was going on and was obviously trying to make things difficult for him.
"Empress, please let the Crown Prince go." Who knew that at this moment, the Crown Prince of Dongchu suddenly spoke up, "It shouldn't take long, we can just continue eating."
Shangguan Jinglan wanted to speak again, but saw Yuan Tianchen shaking his head.
"Hong'er, go ahead." Yuan Tianchen nodded at Yuan Huaihong.
"Thank you, father, and thank you, mother." Yuan Huaihong nodded in thanks to the Crown Prince of Dongchu again, turned around and ran out.
Shangguan Jinglan pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly and took the initiative to explain, "Our Hong'er is just too kind, and Suining is staying in the palace temporarily, so she relies on Hong'er a lot."
"It's human nature," said the Crown Prince of Dongchu, seemingly unconcerned. "However, with Crown Prince Hong's personality...it won't be easy for him to secure his position in the Eastern Palace."
Shangguan Jinglan's expression immediately changed. "Prince Zitong, you're joking. Hong'er has been the only crown prince of our Great Jin since birth. There's no such thing as a dispute over who will be the crown prince in the harem. Hong'er will naturally always be the crown prince."
"Really?" Zi Tong was the name of the Crown Prince of Dongchu.
In the Dongchu royal family, he was the only prince, so he was destined to be the only crown prince from birth.
He curled the corners of his mouth and did not continue arguing with Shangguan Jinglan. His expression was calm as if nothing had happened.
Yuan Tianchen and Shangguan Jinglan both looked unhappy.
On the other side, Yuan Huaihong saw Xiaotuanzi as soon as he came out of the Yangxin Palace.
"Brother Prince!" Li Suining came forward immediately.
"Sister Suining, what's wrong?" Yuan Huaihong pulled Li Suining to a sheltered, deserted place. "What happened?"
Before Li Suining could say anything, his eyes were already red.
"Sister Suining, don't cry. Tell me slowly. What happened?" Yuan Huaihong asked tentatively, "Is there something going on at the Censorate?"
"Brother Crown Prince, the night we rescued Dad, I asked Xingxing," Li Suining said intermittently, trying to hold back tears. "Xingxing said that my Dad and my brothers would be able to return home before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
Yuan Huaihong's expression lit up with joy. "This is a good thing. Is there anything wrong with it?"
"But..." Li Suining could hardly continue. "When I asked Xingxing again last night, Dad... Dad was still executed. Only my brothers returned home."
"What?" Yuan Huaihong was also very surprised. "How could this be? Only one day later, the stars gave you a different answer?"
The little dumpling nodded.
"Could this be a mistake?" Yuan Huaihong asked tentatively, "Have you ever encountered this situation before?"
Li Suining shook his head and said anxiously, "I've never encountered this before. What should I do? How could this happen?"
"Sister Suining, don't be anxious. Let me think about it." Yuan Huaihong felt that there was something he seemed to have overlooked.
Li Suining waited obediently by the side.
But Yuan Huaihong seemed too anxious. He couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time. He couldn't stay outside for too long.
"Sister Suining, how about this? You go back first and ask the stars at night. Maybe the answer will be different." He could only comfort Li Suining first.
Little Tuanzi nodded hesitantly and couldn't help but confirm with Yuan Huaihong, "Then... when will the interrogation results be released from the government office? When will Zuo Sixian be imprisoned?"
Yuan Huaihong sighed. It was not convenient for him to ask about the affairs of the government office now. Otherwise, if it got to the ears of Zuo Sixian or the Queen, it would be disadvantageous to them.
"We can only know the situation after the Crown Prince of Dongchu leaves." This was the only answer he could give.
It’s the Crown Prince of Dongchu again.
Li Suining hated that guy even more. "When will he leave?"
"Don't worry, it will be soon. He should be back in Dongchu tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Yuan Huaihong said affirmatively, "So, don't be anxious, wait a little longer, okay?"
"Okay." Little Dumpling wiped her tears, "Then Prince brother, please go back soon. I'll go back too. I'm sorry to bother you."
"Silly girl, what are you talking about? It's not a trouble at all." Yuan Huaihong took Li Suining back to the gate of the Yangxin Palace, and asked Jinxi to personally send Li Suining back to the National Master's Palace.
"Goodbye, Prince!" Little Dumpling left obediently.
Yuan Huaihong went back thoughtfully.
After breakfast, Prince Zi Tong of Dongchu specifically called Yuan Huaihong aside.
"Has the issue of your county princess's sister been resolved?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
Yuan Huaihong didn't expect him to inquire about this matter. He curled his lips and said, "Nothing. I'm just a kid. I just have no one to accompany me, so I want to talk to you."
Zi Tong laughed instantly, "It seems that I am really an uninvited guest."
"..." Yuan Huaihong said helplessly, "Prince Zi Tong is joking. We welcome you to Dajin."
"Then should I stay a few more days?" Zi Tong said deliberately.
"..." Yuan Huaihong stopped talking instantly.
"Hahaha..." Zi Tong laughed up to the sky, shaking his head as he walked, "You, you really are not suitable to sit in this seat!"
