"you……"
Accompanying his wife is important, but work is not important? He still speaks so confidently, doesn't he know that he has caused so much trouble?
He usually spoils him too much!
How can a man with ambitions for the world revolve around women?
When he ascends the throne in the future, he will have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. There will be plenty of women. If he devotes himself to women, he will only become a tyrant who neglects his duties.
The emperor frowned and said, "Since you like to accompany your wife, then accompany her as much as you want. Leave the Qingming Festival ancestor worship to Lao Wu."
Zong Zhengchen listened to this without any emotion on his face. He just cupped his hands and replied:
"As long as the emperor is happy."
After saying that, he left.
The emperor's face suddenly darkened.
It's just that you're too spoiled!
He had to let him know which was more important, a woman or the country. He had to make him feel nervous and oppressed. If he ignored him for a while, he would know that he had to make progress.
"Father, ahem... I know that I don't have enough qualifications and I'm afraid I can't do the job well... ahem, let's let Prince Chen go..." Zong Zhengli said weakly.
The emperor retracted his gaze, "If I ask you to do it, you do it! You can do it well! Take care of yourself and go immediately!"
"This is……"
Zong Zhengli lowered his head and coughed muffledly, but there was a calculating light flashing in his eyes...
.
Chen Palace.
"Miss, everything you want is in there." Jing Yi handed a stack of letters to Qin Ye, which contained various investigation results, indicating that the collapse of the imperial mausoleum was an accident and Wei's death was an accident.
Qin Ye took a look and felt relieved, "Thank you for your hard work."
She has been feeling uneasy ever since Prince Li went crazy and wanted to kill Zong Zhengchen yesterday.
If the two of them got into a fight, no matter who got hurt, she didn't want to see that scene.
The results of this investigation were enough to reassure Zong Zhengli.
"Princess, Prince Li has changed. Yesterday, the look he gave the prince was so scary... He is already an enemy of Prince Chen's Mansion, why are you still thinking about him?" Yue'er tilted her head and asked in confusion.
Qin Ye paused as he picked up the teacup.
Why?
Why exactly?
She and Prince Li were so close in the past, and Prince Li had protected her many times, and their friendship had always been good.
She would always think of that late night in the alley, the drunk man hugged her and cried like a child out of control...
She lowered her eyes and just said, "Because they are two brothers."
"But they are not brothers."
“…”
So much to talk about.
Perhaps it was because they were good friends in the past, or perhaps it was because Prince Li's experience was too tragic, which always reminded her of herself in Prime Minister Qin's residence over the years. She understood the feeling of being unwelcome, and it was not pleasant.
She didn't want Prince Li to go against Prince Chen.
After taking a sip of tea, I saw Zong Zhengchen coming back.
As soon as he sat down, a servant came to report that King Li had arrived.
Zong Zhengchen's eyes turned cold for a moment, then returned to normal in an instant. The two of them went to the front hall to meet the guests, and Qin Ye immediately gave him the results of the investigation.
Zong Zhengli looked at him for a very long time. The aura on his body was extremely heavy, so heavy that it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
After a long while, he raised his pale handsome face and smiled faintly:
"I'm sorry to have caused Princess Chen to worry. What happened yesterday was caused by my sadness. I lost my mind and was too impulsive..."
"After I calmed down and thought about it, King Chen was not so despicable as to attack a woman. I misunderstood."
He spoke in a hollow voice, and his gentle and harmless appearance seemed to have returned to its former self.
