Chapter 304: You bastard, I'll deal with you after we leave the capital
Ever since Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin returned to Jizhou, Princess Anran and the others have been waiting for Xiao Junze to come and fool them.
The position of prime minister was vacant, and although the ministers in the court were eager to make a move, they did not dare to act rashly.
After all, the position of prime minister currently makes them both love and fear it.
The position of prime minister remained vacant.
......
Xiao Junze secretly arranged the affairs of the court, even calculating the time for going to Jizhou and back.
After thinking that he had done everything, Xiao Junze rode on the dragon chariot to the princess's mansion.
Princess Mansion.
Sheng Yunshao and his companion were walking in the front yard admiring the flowers when they suddenly heard a sharp voice coming from the door.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
When the servants in the princess's mansion saw Xiao Junze entering the mansion, they quickly put down their work and knelt down.
"Your servant respectfully welcomes the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
"Stand up."
Xiao Junze raised his eyes and looked at the two figures not far away, with a hint of calculation in his eyes.
Little aunt, you must miss Xiao Chengjin very much, so I will take you to Jizhou to see him for the "last time".
Thinking of this, Xiao Junze walked towards Sheng Yunshao and the others with a smile on his face.
Sheng Yunshao and Princess An Ran looked at Xiao Junze who was slowly approaching and exchanged glances.
"Ruoxin, let's go meet him." Sheng Yunshao said in a low voice.
Princess Anran nodded, smiled and pulled Sheng Yunshao over to greet him.
"Your humble servant respectfully welcomes the emperor." Sheng Yunshao bowed with a long face.
Humph! When my son-in-law becomes the emperor, I won't have to bow to him anymore.
Xiao Junze stepped forward and gave him a false hand, saying in a deep voice, "Divine Doctor Yun, no need to be polite."
Princess Anran raised her eyebrows slightly, "Nephew, let's go to the front hall and talk!"
Then, she turned around and ordered, "Madam Cen, go make the Mingqian tea."
"I obey your command." Nanny Cen responded and turned to leave.
Several people walked slowly to the front hall and took their seats one after another.
Princess Anran waved them away after Nanny Cen and others served her tea.
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit depressing.
Princess Anran looked at Xiao Junze, who had an uncertain expression on his face, curled her lips, and said, "My nephew is very busy with government affairs, and has a lot of things to deal with every day. How come he has time to come to my princess residence today?"
Xiao Junze winked at Manager Ji, who bowed and retreated, closing the door behind him.
When Sheng Yunshao saw this, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
It's not something shameful, so is there any need to be sneaky about it?
Xiao Junze sighed slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
After a moment of silence, he said in a very complicated tone: "Aunt, you haven't seen Xiao Chengjin for a long time!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Anran deliberately remained stunned for a moment.
Very good, our aunt and nephew have started to act.
Then she quickly entered the acting state.
"Alas, ever since Jin'er was attacked and fell into a coma, I went to Prince An's Mansion to see him once..."
"I don't know how he is doing in Jizhou?" Princess An Ran said with red eyes, then took the handkerchief handed to her by Sheng Yunshao and wiped her tears.
Xiao Junze listened to Princess Anran's choked voice, and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of his lips.
I know that you two are close aunt and niece, so I came to see you.
"Don't be sad, little aunt. If you want to see him... I will accompany you to Jizhou to see him." There was a hint of helplessness in Xiao Junze's tone.
Princess Anran lowered her eyes and looked at the handkerchief in her hand, as if trying her best to calm herself down.
Sheng Yunshao said at the right moment: "Ruoxin, when you were taking a nap a few days ago, you were calling out to Jin'er in your dream..."
"Since the emperor has said so, you should agree!"
You bastard, I’ll deal with you after we leave the capital.
Princess Anran shook her head and said seriously, "The court is busy with affairs. How can the emperor's nephew leave the capital for such a small matter..."
Although she said that, Princess Anran’s face was full of “I dream of meeting my dear nephew.”
Xiao Junze thought of Xiao Chengjin's demotion and deliberately put on an expression of being disappointed in him.
"Over the years, I have never treated him unfairly, Xiao Chengjin."
"Who would have thought that he would secretly stockpile troops..." His tone carried a hint of brotherly love, as well as a hint of helplessness of an elder brother towards his troublesome younger brother.
Princess Anran looked at Xiao Junze, who was constantly adding to the drama, and whispered in defense, "This must be a misunderstanding. Perhaps someone has framed us."
"If the nephew can't let this matter go, I will go to Jizhou myself and teach him a lesson."
Haha, are you satisfied now?
Of course Xiao Junze could hear that Princess Anran was defending Xiao Chengjin.
He said to himself: "Last night, I dreamed of the late emperor, and he blamed me..."
"Blame me for being so cruel to this little brother."
"But I also have my own difficulties!"
Changing the subject, he got to the point, "I think, since he has woken up, I want to go to Jizhou to see him in person."
"If he recognizes his 'mistake', I will restore his princely title and grant him Jizhou as his fiefdom."
"If he still doesn't repent, he will live as a commoner in Jizhou for the rest of his life."
"In this case, the late emperor should not blame me anymore..."
What Xiao Junze said was sincere and heartfelt.
After hearing these words, Princess Anran said excitedly: "My nephew, what you said is true."
"Are you really going to Jizhou...?"
Xiao Junze nodded and said in a deep voice, "However, this time I will be leaving the capital secretly. If you, aunt, want to go with me, you must keep your mouth shut."
Princess Anran quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, auntie won't tell anyone about this."
She turned to Sheng Yunshao and said, "Aren't you tired of staying in the capital? It's just right for us to go out and relax."
A smile suddenly appeared on Sheng Yunshao's face.
Xiao Junze turned his head to look at the two of them, a calculation flashing in his eyes.
With the help of the miracle doctor Yun, there is no need to bring the imperial physician along.
Having achieved his goal, Xiao Junze stood up and said, "Aunt, please prepare for the next few days. Once I have arranged the affairs of the court, I will send someone to inform you."
"When the time comes, we will meet outside the capital."
Princess Anran was delighted and agreed repeatedly, "Okay, it's decided."
"Please return to the palace." Xiao Junze shouted to the outside.
The door opened, and Manager Ji bowed to Princess Anran and the other two and took his leave.
Nanny Cen and the others knelt and shouted, "Your servants respectfully send the emperor off."
Oh my god, the emperor is finally gone.
Princess An Ran and Sheng Yunshao watched the bright yellow figure leave and happily high-fived. "Haha, we can leave Beijing and go play soon."
My nephew, you may not know yet, but after you decided to go to Jizhou, you are not far from abdicating.
After Xiao Junze returned to the palace on the dragon chariot, he went directly to the imperial study.
He was in a very happy mood, "Ji Tao, everything is arranged!"
Upon hearing this, Chief Steward Ji stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have already arranged for someone to closely monitor the Crown Prince."
"As long as he has the intention of treason, he will be arrested on the spot."
Xiao Junze nodded in satisfaction, "Summon him to see me."
He still needs to be severely punished.
"I obey your command."
Chief Steward Ji walked out of the imperial study, called over a young eunuch, and whispered something to him.
The young eunuch just nodded and left in a hurry.
East Palace.
At this moment, the queen was chatting with Tang Shihuan.
The Queen looked at Tang Shihuan, who looked a little unwell, and said softly, "Crown Princess, you are still carrying the Emperor's grandson, so you must take good care of yourself."
"By the time you give birth to the grandson, your father will have returned to the capital."
"When the time comes, the Emperor will use this happy event to reinstate your father as Prime Minister."
Tang Shihuan gently stroked her swollen belly and forced a smile, "Thank you, mother, for your comfort."
Xiao Mocheng, who was sitting next to her, had a cold face and looked at Tang Shihuan's abdomen with a frown.
A few days ago, the imperial physician came to check Ping An's pulse, and Xiao Shunzi asked indirectly whether he was the emperor's grandson or the princess.
At that time, the imperial physician was vague and muttered cryptically: Princess, what...
So, the Crown Princess is pregnant with a little princess.
The moment Tang Shihuan turned her head, she suddenly saw Xiao Mocheng's meaningful eyes.
She subconsciously rubbed her belly and prayed in her heart: It must be a grandson of the emperor...
The young eunuch who came to deliver the message entered the main hall and knelt down to greet her, saying, "Your servant greets the Empress, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess."
The queen put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Get up!"
"Thank you, Queen."
The young eunuch stood up and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the Emperor summons you to the Imperial Study."
Xiao Mocheng smiled when he heard this, "You go back and report first, I'll be there right away."
"I'll take my leave!" The young eunuch completed his task and turned to leave.
The queen looked at the little eunuch's departing figure, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
She said to Xiao Mocheng, "Cheng'er, please go to the palace and don't make your father wait anxiously."
"Mother, please chat with the Crown Princess for a while."
Xiao Mocheng stood up and said gently to Tang Shihuan, "Huan'er, spend some time chatting with your mother."
Tang Shihuan curled the corners of her lips, "I understand."
Then he bowed to the queen and said, "I will take my leave."
"Go!" The queen smiled and waved her hand.
After Xiao Mocheng left the East Palace, he got into the sedan chair with an expressionless face.
The moment he sat in the sedan chair, Xiao Mocheng closed his eyes and slowly uttered a few words: The opportunity has come.
