Chapter 38 This Crown Prince is So Difficult to Understand (1 update)

Lu Chengtian was extremely worried about the epidemic in the capital.

At this moment, the outbreaks occurred simultaneously in the Grand Prince's Mansion and the Eastern Palace, which made the situation even worse.

After hearing the report from the visitor that the Crown Prince was not infected with the epidemic, Lu Chengtian was finally relieved. He immediately ordered Lu Zexu to move to the palace to prevent him from contracting the epidemic.

Lu Zexu did not want to leave the Eastern Palace. His uncle was still here. Although he said he had taken medicine, no one knew the specific situation.

He had to watch it in person to feel at ease.

If it were in the past, he would immediately execute any order from Lu Chengtian, and pursue perfection, hoping to get Lu Chengtian's approval.

But now, he has done many things in public but secretly disobeyed the order, which is just disobeying the order. He is now very good at it.

The eunuch general manager Dequan went to the East Palace in person to announce the order. He expected that after receiving the order, the prince would be grateful and leave the East Palace immediately.

After all, there is only one life, and it is too dangerous to stay in a place where an epidemic has broken out. Only by leaving the East Palace can life be guaranteed.

If the emperor knew from the beginning that the person suffering from the epidemic was not the prince, he would definitely not let the imperial guards surround the East Palace.

Now that the matter is clear, he will bring the person out as soon as possible.

However, Dequan did not expect that the prince was unwilling to leave the East Palace.

The reason sounded even more incomprehensible. He said that he was worried that there was no master in the palace and the servants would not try their best to treat the general.

Plop!

Lu Chengtian threw the teacup in his hand, "Womanly kindness! Shen Hong is the general of the dynasty. How dare the imperial physician not try his best to treat him?"

Dequan bent his body, not knowing whether to say the next words. The emperor was already angry enough. If he heard the following words, wouldn't he be even angrier?

Lu Chengtian glanced over coldly, "What are you looking at! What else did that bastard say?"

Dequan knelt down immediately, "Your Highness the Crown Prince went to see General Shen this morning and had some contact with General Shen, but Your Majesty does not need to worry. I have asked the imperial physician, Your Highness has taken protective measures, and he has also treated Your Highness, and Your Highness has not been infected with the epidemic."

Lu Chengtian looked unhappy, "Humph, why don't you see him so close to his in-laws?"

Dequan heard that the emperor was annoyed by His Highness the Crown Prince. After all, the emperor cared most about the issue of in-laws.

His Highness the Crown Prince was stepping on the emperor's sore spot.

"Your Majesty, the prince also said that it's okay to let him leave the Eastern Palace, but we can't stop him from returning at any time. After all, General Shen is still in the palace for treatment."

After Dequan finished speaking, he kept looking down at the ground, not daring to look at Lu Chengtian's face, for fear of being angry with the emperor.

In the study, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The atmosphere had long been stagnant, and it was so depressing that it made people breathless.

Suddenly, Dequan heard a faint laugh, "Since he wants to enter and leave the Eastern Palace freely, I will allow him. I want to see what ridiculous actions he can do at this time!"

Dequan shuddered, and always felt that the emperor's smile was more terrifying than when he didn't smile.

"Your servant obeys your order."

Lu Chengtian felt that the prince seemed to have become a different person since he came back from hunting.

At first, he would not go to the study room to study if he had an injury. After all, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and the imperial physician also said that he should rest more.

However, once he stopped studying in the study room, he never picked it up again.

The prince seemed to have completely forgotten about studying. Not only that, the prince frequently left the palace, wandered in the market, and made friends with all kinds of people, whether they were scholars or peddlers. He would go up to them and chat with them.

He would go to the lake to admire the lotus, and ride a horse in the streets.

He would spend a lot of money in the brothels, and have fun on the painted boats all night.

He was really carefree and unrestrained.

It can be said that he did everything he had never done before.

The number of impeachment memorials against him was very high.

Lu Chengtian had wanted to spare some time to educate him properly, but then an epidemic broke out in the capital.

He was asked to move to the palace out of consideration for his life, but he didn't know that this bastard not only disobeyed the order for the sake of his uncle, but even dared to negotiate conditions with him!

Lu Chengtian sat in front of the dragon case with a heavy look in his eyes. The Shen family's reputation and influence in the army were really too great.

The next emperor must not have such a powerful relative!

Lu Zexu was too lazy to think about Lu Chengtian's thoughts. After receiving the news that he could enter and leave the East Palace freely, he left the palace immediately.

Of course, he was followed out of the palace by carts of wooden boxes.

This was carefully selected by Lu Zexu, mostly disinfectants and masks, mixed with two carts of soap and soap. On the way, he quietly fell behind, changed carriages and boxes in an empty alley, and went to the house that Lu Zexu bought in Beijing.

The shopkeeper was waiting for this batch of goods there early in the morning.

Although an epidemic broke out in Beijing, the money that should be earned cannot be relaxed, right?

And Lu Zexu took a large number of masks and disinfectants and went to the eldest prince's mansion.

The door of the eldest prince's mansion was closed, and the officials guarding outside the mansion were dumbfounded when they saw Lu Zexu.

You know, since the eldest prince was diagnosed with the epidemic, no one has come to visit.

Of course, this may also be because the emperor ordered the eldest prince's mansion to be closed, and only people can enter but not leave.

But, if he was really worried about the eldest prince's condition, he would at least find out some information.

He has been guarding here, and there is no one to ask about the eldest prince's condition.

Of course, this is understandable. After all, this is an epidemic. If you are not careful and get infected with the epidemic, you may die.

There is only one life, no matter who you are, you cherish it.

For a piece of news, a concern, you have to sacrifice your own life.

What's more, if the eldest prince is infected with the epidemic, he may have no chance of becoming the emperor.

In this way, in the eyes of those ministers of the aristocratic families, the eldest prince has completely lost the value of investment. Without the merit of following the dragon, he cannot lead the family to the next level. Why should they take the risk?

But at this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually came!

He came here under the pretext of visiting the eldest prince.

The officials on duty really couldn't understand. It was said that the eldest prince was a strong contender for the throne. The eldest prince was infected with the plague. Shouldn't the prince be the happiest?

Without a competitor, his position as the crown prince should be more stable. Why did he come to visit at this time?

But don't say that the crown prince came here to play the role of brotherly love and respect to improve his reputation.

If the eldest prince didn't have the plague, this would be possible.

After all, no one would risk their life to improve this kind of reputation that has no practical benefits.

Not only did the official not understand Lu Zexu's behavior, but the eldest prince also didn't understand it, and the well-informed officials in the capital didn't understand it. Even Lu Chengtian, who was reviewing memorials in the palace, didn't understand it.
