Chapter 850 You are really honest
Wen Jiu was stunned: "Your Majesty, this is what a servant should do. I dare not ask for a reward."
"Today the sun is rising from the west. Whenever I talk about rewards, you always accept them happily. What happened today?"
Wen Jiu smiled when he heard this: "Your Majesty, you have given me more than enough rewards. Even the prince often says that my carriage is almost full. If you want to reward me, why not give it to me all at once after we return to the capital?"
Emperor Kangxi squinted his eyes at her and said, "You are quite good at making arrangements."
He didn't say anything at the moment, just let out a breath and walked forward with his hands behind his back. It was obvious that he was not in a good mood.
Wenjiu followed all the way without daring to speak, just lowered his head and accompanied him.
"What do you think of the Crown Prince's illness this time?"
After a while, Emperor Kangxi suddenly spoke.
Wen Jiu was stunned. She really didn't expect that Emperor Kangxi would ask her such a question.
"Your Majesty, I don't know."
Emperor Kangxi paused, frowned, and looked back at Wen Jiu: "Oh, you are really honest."
Wen Jiu pretended not to hear the deeper meaning behind Kangxi's words and only laughed innocently: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother also often says that Jiu'er is honest."
Emperor Kangxi rolled his eyes at Wen Jiu and said, "Don't act like you know nothing to me. Do you think I'm as easy to fool as the fourth prince?"
Wen Jiu laughed dryly, "Your Majesty, I was telling the truth. The Crown Prince is thousands of miles away, how could I possibly know? Worrying now is a waste of energy. Your Majesty, we will be back in the capital in a few days. We will know everything when we take a look."
If the Emperor is truly concerned about the Crown Prince's health, he should send someone with some supplements to the Crown Prince as soon as possible. He will surely feel better after seeing these, and perhaps even recover faster."
Emperor Kangxi was stunned and said that this was the first time he heard such words.
In the past few days, I've heard two different opinions. One says the Crown Prince has worked hard and made great contributions, and he's now sick from exhaustion, so he deserves a reward. The other says the Crown Prince has become arrogant and unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility at this critical moment. He's also been accused of corruption, making him unworthy of being the Crown Prince.
There is also another type of people who try to smooth things over, saying that it is too early to draw a conclusion and that they should wait until they return to Beijing to discuss it.
But the words of warming the wine did not sound as humane.
In fact, Emperor Kangxi himself did not know why he asked Wenjiu today. If it was about interests, Wenjiu would not be able to pick it out so clearly. After all, the fourth child and the prince had been in the same boat since childhood.
But warming the wine, sometimes it makes Emperor Kangxi feel conflicted. She is obviously a little girl, but she seems to be very insightful.
After saying a few words, Emperor Kangxi always suddenly understood.
"Well, you are a good one, go back."
Emperor Kangxi suddenly waved his hand.
"yes."
Watching Wen Jiu gradually walk away, Emperor Kangxi's brows were still furrowed: "I hope he can live up to his sincerity and not let me down."
Liang Jiugong, listening beside him, couldn't help but sweat for the Crown Prince. "I hope His Highness is truly ill. If he says even a word, I'm afraid this matter won't end well."
......
"Confused!"
The prince was so angry that he kicked a thin, pale man in front of him in the stomach.
The man curled up on the ground in pain, clutching his stomach and twitching for a long time. Looking up and seeing the prince's furious face, the man ignored the pain and immediately knelt down two steps and hugged the prince's legs:
"Your Highness, I am a fool. Now there is no other way. Besides, I am not lying. Your Highness, you are just not feeling well. I think it would be better to use this opportunity to make the emperor feel sorry for you. Maybe the emperor will show leniency and not pursue this matter. This servant... This servant is doing this for your Highness's consideration..."
"How foolish!" The prince kicked the man away, his forehead veins bulging with anger. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Ling Pu, Ling Pu, I didn't even know you were such a capable person by my side. Not only did you lie to the Emperor about my illness, but you even dared to attack court officials. Tell me clearly, were you the one who tampered with that batch of military supplies in Henan?"
