Eunuch Hai's attitude was very cold at first, but after taking the small bottle, his attitude immediately softened a lot.
After opening the bottle cork and pouring out a green pill, his stern face immediately turned into a happy smile.
He put the pill back in the bottle, corked it, and put it away without making a sound.
Then he said, "Your Highness, think carefully, have you done anything secretly from the Empress recently?"
When Shi Jian heard this, he immediately thought of asking Mr. Liao and Chen Tian to go to the border to capture Chen Xuan and An Ruxue.
But this is not a big deal.
Whether it is Chen Xuan or An Ruxue, they are both guilty.
Especially An Ruxue, who was originally going to be executed. If Chen Xuan hadn't saved her, she would probably be dead by now.
These two people are like two ants and are not worthy of the empress's attention at all.
It's impossible that he would be allowed to enter the palace just because of such a small matter, right?
If it wasn't this, then there was nothing else.
Therefore, Shi Jian shook his head without even thinking about it and said, "I have been doing my job honestly recently. I have either been listening to music in the East Palace or doing disaster relief and helping the Empress solve her problems. I have not done anything in private."
When Eunuch Hai heard this, he immediately shook his head in disappointment. For the sake of the elixir, he sighed and reminded:
"Your Highness, I believe what you said, but the Empress may not believe you. When you are in front of the Empress, I think you'd better have a scale in your heart to judge what you should and shouldn't say!"
The subtext of this statement is, do you think I believe your lies?
How could Shi Jian not understand the meaning?
But he really hasn't done anything big recently?
After thinking for a while, Shi Jian asked, "The Empress summoned me, is it related to the return of the Prince of Zhenxi to the capital?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Hai's eyes flashed and his attitude instantly turned cold: "Your Highness, be careful with your words. How did you know that the Prince of Zhenxi has returned to the capital?"
The fact that Prince Zhenxi returned to Beijing secretly was not made public.
Moreover, the Prince of Zhenxi had just returned to Beijing, and you in the East Palace knew about it immediately?
Isn't the news a bit too well-informed?
It's hard not to suspect that your prince has planted people in the palace!
Shi Jian realized that he had accidentally said something wrong and felt extremely regretful.
But words once spoken are like water spilled. There is no way to regret such things.
He was secretly angry at his own broken mouth, but he forced a smile on his face and said, "After all, the King of Zhenxi is my uncle, so it's only natural for me to care about him."
This was like fart, of course Eunuch Hai would not believe it, and said slowly: "Prince, please be careful with your words and actions in front of the empress. I will pretend that I didn't hear what you just said."
That being said, but after tonight, some people in the palace will definitely be purged!
It can be said that Shi Jian's careless words directly killed a group of people!
Shi Jian bowed and smiled, "Please show some mercy, eunuch."
Eunuch Hai didn't respond to him and walked ahead. Shi Jian immediately followed him, feeling a sinking feeling in his heart.
Looking at Eunuch Hai's background, a hint of hysterical hatred emerged in his eyes.
You are a dead eunuch, and you dare to act so arrogantly in front of me!
But I am the prince!
It is outrageous that the prince has to smile for a eunuch!
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He was a prince, but he lived such a cowardly life!
Qin Mansion.
Lord Qin, the Minister of Rites, was deep in thought in his study at this moment.
"Strange, why is there no reply to the letter I sent?"
Lord Qin looked puzzled and puzzled.
Liu Jinyu is his man, and it is precisely because of his order that Liu Jinyu brought all the younger brothers in Liufeng Village to join Chen Xuan.
At the beginning, he could still receive letters from Liu Jinyu, who would report on Chen Xuan's situation every day.
However, there has been no news recently.
This made him feel a little confused.
He was confident that with his authority, Liu Jinyu would definitely not dare to betray him.
"Could it be that something happened to Chen Xuan?"
"Well, that should be the case. It looks like Liu Jinyu is in danger."
"Haha, it seems that I think too much. This Chen Xuan is very different from his father."
Lord Qin shook his head, looking disappointed, "What a shame, what a shame, it seems that Chen Tianqiao's secret from those years will be sealed forever."
Chen Mansion.
"How come Chen Tian, this rebellious son, is hanging out with the crown prince?"
"This idiot, doesn't he know that the empress has always been on guard against the prince? He is close to the prince. If the empress knew about this, how would she view my Chen clan?"
"If the Empress mistakenly believes that my Chen clan has a private relationship with the Crown Prince, he will harm my Chen clan!"
"Originally, because of Chen Tianqiao, the empress was quite dissatisfied with our Chen clan. Fortunately, as soon as Chen Tianqiao died, our Chen clan immediately supported the empress. After the empress took the throne, she did not pursue us."
"But in the past twenty years, we can clearly feel that the Empress is ignoring us!"
"This idiot Chen Tian actually went to the border with the prince's men to look for Chen Xuan. Is he stupid?!"
The Chen clan leader and several important figures in the clan were sitting together to discuss things.
Among them, Chen Tian’s father, his grandfather, and the Minister of Justice were also there!
They didn't know that Chen Tian had secretly gone to the border.
Or maybe Chen Tian’s grandfather suddenly wanted to see him, but couldn’t find anyone, so he found Chen Tian’s trusted subordinate.
At first, the subordinates wanted to conceal it and hesitantly said that Chen Tian had gone out to play.
Afterwards, when things were sorted out, he immediately behaved himself and confessed everything.
"Send someone to get him back to me immediately!"
Angry voices were heard from within the Chen clan.
"Master!"
Just then, a servant arrived at the door and said respectfully, "There is an imperial decree!"
"Imperial edict?"
All the members of the Chen clan came out immediately to receive the order.
As soon as he came out, he saw that it was Eunuch Hai, the empress's confidant.
This old eunuch will not show up easily. Once he does, it will definitely not be a trivial matter.
And behind Eunuch Hai, there followed Prince Shi Jian!
"The Empress has issued an order to summon the head of the Chen clan and the Minister of Justice to the palace for an audience!"
The patriarch of the Chen clan and Chen Tian’s grandfather, the Minister of Justice, are the two most powerful people in the Chen clan.
Now, they are all entering the palace to announce the imperial decree!
For a moment, everyone in the Chen clan could not help but look at each other.
What is going on?
The empress was fine, why did she suddenly summon them?
Moreover, it seems that the prince will also enter the palace?
Is this a big deal?
Shi Jian never expected that Eunuch Hai would bring him to the Chen clan and summon the members of the Chen clan into the palace!
Could it be that the empress summoned me because I sent people to capture Chen Xuan and An Ruxue?
Not really!
These two people are just insignificant figures who cannot be in the spotlight. Is it necessary to alarm the empress?
If it wasn’t because of the two of them, then what else could it be?
