Chapter 546 The Emperor's Doubt

King Yixuan and others had not told Concubine Wen the truth about the death of the crown prince, Pei Chuyan's biological father, so Concubine Wen had never known that such a thing had happened between her brothers.

He had nothing but admiration and respect for his second brother who had ascended the throne to become emperor.

After all, no matter how he made things difficult for King Yixuan, it all happened after Concubine Wen left Dali and went to Dachu.

King Uiseon did not want to upset his sister because of these things, so he never mentioned them.

Or maybe it was because Li Ran was a woman, so the Second Prince had always been very caring towards her.

Concubine Wen did live in a good environment.

"But I also know that royal family struggles have always been like this. Aren't princesses who marry into the royal family always like this?" Concubine Wen's words were full of loneliness. She had been prepared for this since the first day she married into the Chu royal family.

He knew that if the Dali Kingdom wanted to attack the Dachu Kingdom, he would be the first to be hit.

Over the years, she had lost all thoughts of love and was ready to be punished by His Majesty at any time.

But the Fourth Prince is still young.

Thinking of this, she reached out and pulled Concubine Lan's hand, holding it tightly: "Fortunately, the current prince is a kind person and is very good to Jin Rui."

"It's not because of what happened in Dada Liguo that I treat Jin Rui..."

The prince was indeed taught very well by the Song Qingyan and her sister. He knew that Jin Rui worshipped him wholeheartedly, so he was naturally very good to him and never had any prejudice against his brother because of these external things.

In order to protect him, after this incident, I treated him more carefully than before.

Seeing her like this, Concubine Lan couldn't help but feel sad. She held her hand tightly and comforted her: "Don't worry, sister. The prince has always been a kind person and will definitely treat Jinrui well."

"Even if you and I are gone in the future, there is no need to worry about the prince taking action against his brothers."

Perhaps the prince inherited this trait from his father. The Emperor of Great Chu seemed to be a man of bad temper, but he attached great importance to friendship.

Even if Prince Rong had the intention of treason, he was just imprisoned in the clan house.

Even his son was merely sidelined.

There is never a shortage of money.

If it were someone else, they would have been killed long ago.

Thinking of what the Second Prince had said to her before, Concubine Lan felt quite emotional.

Therefore, as a prince, only by handing over the throne to someone like the crown prince can one feel at ease.

When he said this, the fourth prince hurried in from outside: "Mother, Mother."

He looked very happy.

Seeing Concubine Lan beside him, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Empress Lan is here too."

"Has mother heard about it? Now that the army has returned victoriously, father has held a celebration banquet!"

"Do you want to go?" Lan Fei asked tentatively.

It is reasonable to say that when His Majesty holds a celebration banquet, it is also normal for His Majesty's princes to go and celebrate together.

But now, the identity of the Fourth Prince is really...

After all, it was the Yuefeng Kingdom that was confronting Marquis Dingguo and his group.

Wen Fei's maternal family, the royal family of Dali Kingdom, had supported Yuefeng Kingdom. Although the soldiers of Dachu Kingdom have now returned victorious, it is thought that if it were not for these soldiers of Dali, the war would have ended earlier.

In this case, if the Fourth Prince were to appear in public, especially in front of the soldiers fighting in the Western Camp, it would probably cause controversy.

If any conflict really arises, it will probably cause trouble for the prince.

While Concubine Wen was struggling, the Fourth Prince in front of her had already shaken his head: "Brother Crown Prince has assigned me a task, and it has not yet been completed. I will not attend the celebration banquet."

"I am not good at socializing, so it would be boring if I went."

Concubine Wen smiled and nodded, motioning him to go read a book, then turned to look at Concubine Lan beside her, with a hint of loss in her eyes.

At this time, after leaving Concubine Wen's main palace, the smile on the Fourth Prince's face suddenly turned cold.

He naturally knew in his heart what had been circulating in the harem during this period, and he also knew about his mother's and his current embarrassing position.

But my brother the prince treats me very well, and I won’t cause any trouble for him.

As long as the Crown Prince can see clearly and doesn't care about what the Dali Kingdom does, that's enough, nothing else matters.

At this time in the royal family of Dali Kingdom, Li Cheng finally discovered Ji Rong's abnormality. When he asked him about how to deal with Pei Chuyan, he always gave him pertinent advice.

In recent times, no matter how it was brought up, he just brushed it off, or even said that Li Cheng was too anxious and it would only make things more difficult.

Moreover, I asked him to help many times, but he refused.

There might be something cat-sick among them.

Li Cheng has always believed that in the competition for imperial power, one should cut the Gordian knot quickly.

It was precisely because he was able to act quickly and stop quickly that he was able to kill his elder brother, and then he was able to ascend the throne smoothly.

He's just a posthumous child. Could I really be trapped by him?

Could it be possible that the Great Chu Kingdom would send troops for him? In the end, it was just a family affair of the royal family of the Dali Kingdom.

So after Ji Rong repeatedly pushed him away, Li Cheng finally realized that something was wrong.

He simply sent out the secret guards around him to investigate the place where Pei Chuyan and others were living.

Unexpectedly, I didn't find it.

This must be impossible. When Song Qingyan and her group entered the territory of Dali Kingdom, he personally hired someone to keep an eye on them, but he did not see them leave.

Now that that group of people is missing, something must have gone wrong.

They are not gods, they can't just disappear into thin air.

After much thought, Li Cheng turned his attention to Ji Rong who was currently in Xingyun Palace.

After thinking it over again and again, Li Cheng finally took his father-in-law to Xingyun Palace.

Ji Rong was feeling unusually comfortable at this moment, perhaps because he had found Lu Xingwan and knew that she was safe now, so he felt a lot more relieved and relaxed.

When Li Cheng arrived, Ji Rong was lying on the couch, tasting the fresh fruits of the season.

I have to say that the immortal fruits in this mortal world are still much better than those in the immortal world.

Ji Rong was even secretly glad that he was teleported to the Dali Kingdom. If he were in a northern country, there might not be so many fresh fruits for him to enjoy.

Looking at Ji Rong who was doing nothing in front of him, Li Cheng was furious.

I was so kind to support him and take care of him, but he just treated me perfunctorily instead.

He was no longer as polite as before when he spoke, and asked, "I have been looking for Pei Chuyan's whereabouts for a while, but I couldn't find him. Did you do something?"

Ji Rong then looked up at Li Cheng in front of him. After all, he was the emperor of a country and his mind was very smart.

Still responsive.
