Chapter 88 Reading Xuanren
Emperor Yongping felt helpless as he looked at his granddaughter who fell asleep instantly.
But when he saw the book lying in the cradle, he felt even more helpless.
"Two plus one travels through time to become empress"?
This book title doesn't look like a serious book at all.
But thinking about the fact that my granddaughter had carried it with great effort, I decided to open it and take a look.
Who knew that after watching it, he realized that he was reading his own story.
Not only is he a character in the book.
Even this continent and the entire Sheng'an Kingdom are worlds constructed in the book.
The queen is a soul from another world who wants to become the ruler of Sheng'an Kingdom.
If he didn't want to become the king who lost his country as described in the book, he had to take the book seriously.
"Send someone to announce that Prince Shou has entered the palace. I have something to ask him."
Emperor Yongping was reading a book while giving instructions to Lin Fu.
Before Prince Shou entered the palace, Emperor Yongping ordered Lin Fu to send someone to summon the Minister of Dali Temple to the palace.
Then he asked Lin Fu to send someone to summon Chu Chengyi to the palace.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is currently in the camp outside the capital. If we send someone there now, do we want him to enter the palace overnight?"
Lin Fu was being manipulated by Emperor Yongping, but he was not confused.
There are two large camps in the suburban Beijing camp, the closest of which is fifty miles away.
Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to take over the camp outside the capital, he will definitely be stationed in the two major camps for some time.
I wonder if there is some urgent matter that led to his return to the capital at this time?
"Oh, then there is no need to summon him. Let's wait until he returns to Beijing tomorrow."
Emperor Yongping did not take his eyes off the book, he just waved his hand casually at Lin Fu.
"Yes."
Lin Fu stepped back in response, and was very curious about the book that Emperor Yongping was reading.
How come he is obviously reading a book, but is talking about this and that?
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Shou has arrived. Would you like to summon him into the palace?"
When the eunuch on duty outside the palace saw Prince Shou coming, he went into the palace to announce the arrival.
"Xuan."
Emperor Yongping finally closed the book in his hand and quietly put it into the compartment of his desk.
"Your Majesty, may your Majesty live long and blessed."
Prince Shou quickly entered the palace to pay his respects.
After not seeing him for a few days, his physical condition and temperament had changed significantly.
Emperor Yongping was a little dazed.
According to what was written in the book, his third son was murdered by Concubine Xian as early as the tenth day.
Fortunately, his granddaughter had reminded him beforehand, so he was not allowed to enter the palace on the tenth day.
But apart from him, is there anyone else who knew about this in advance?
Could it be his petite and frail third son who figured out Concubine Xian's plot and plotted against her that day?
"Well, stand up."
"Give the King a seat."
After Emperor Yongping signaled Prince Shou to stand up, he still followed his custom and asked Lin Fu to have someone bring him a stool.
"Thank you, Father."
Prince Shou sat down obediently, waiting for his father to ask him questions, while stretching his neck to look at the baby in his arms.
He also didn't understand why his father, who had clearly warned him not to enter the palace in winter, summoned him to the palace today.
"Are you feeling well?"
Emperor Yongping did not stop sending water bags to Prince Shou's Mansion, but asked Chu Qinshu to bring an extra water bag to Yu's study every day.
After all, it is something that can save lives, and it is just right for Shou Wang's body.
He would certainly not cut off his son's life.
"In reply to your Majesty, my son's health has improved significantly."
Prince Shou is now doubly protected, with a water bag of water and pills sent from the East Palace every day.
My health is improving several times faster than before.
He had to hide the fact that his health had improved from the Empress and Concubine Xian, but he could not hide it from Emperor Yongping and Chu Chengyi.
After all, it was they who gave him the water bag and the medicine. One should always repay those who are truly good to him with sincerity.
"That's good. Did you have any hand in what happened on the tenth day?"
Emperor Yongping nodded and asked directly the question in his mind.
"Father, what happened on the tenth day? I don't know."
Prince Shou didn't react for a moment and was a little confused.
As soon as winter came, he would close his house and refuse visitors. Except for his niece's full-month party on the 16th of this month, he had never left the house.
Don't even ask about what's happening outside the palace.
"You...really don't know?"
Emperor Yongping wanted to talk about what happened that day, but then he remembered that a gag order had been issued that day.
After all, he was disrespecting an abandoned concubine in the cold palace. If it got out, it would be bad for the reputation of the royal family, and even worse for the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion.
Therefore, after Zhang Yongmou was beaten to death, Concubine Xian was the only one left to bear the wrath of her family.
The lives of other people were not affected in the slightest.
"Father, I really don't know."
The King of Shou actually remembered what happened on the tenth day.
He did not enter the palace that day, but he was curious about what would happen, so he asked someone to inquire privately.
After knowing the whole story, it is inevitable to break out in a cold sweat.
If Chu Chengyi and Emperor Yongping had not reminded him not to enter the palace that day, he would probably have been the one beaten to death.
But these things that were learned through informal channels must never be told.
"If you don't know, then you don't know. I'm just asking casually."
Emperor Yongping waved his hands to indicate that this matter was not important, and then said: "Since you have come to the palace, go and see your mother."
Prince Shou was delighted. He hadn't seen his mother for more than a month and naturally missed her.
He immediately agreed.
"Father, you hold Shu'er in your arms every day. I think it must be difficult. How about I hold her for you for a while?"
Although Prince Shou missed Concubine Jing, he also cared about his niece Chu Qinshu.
On the day when she was one month old, he, the emperor, only looked at her a few times in Anren Palace and didn't even get to hug her.
"You wish for it. It's not difficult to hold Shu'er, who is so young. Please stop trying to sow discord between me and Shu'er."
Chu Qinshu had been sleeping the whole time, and Emperor Yongping was already uneasy about it, and he would not let anyone hug her easily.
"Father, I have no intention of trying to sow discord between you and Shu'er. I just want to hug her because I miss her."
When Prince Shou saw that it was useless to make excuses, he just spoke his mind.
I hope Emperor Yongping can soften his heart for once.
"Miss her? Have you prepared a gift for her today?"
Emperor Yongping knew Xiaochu Qinshu's preferences, so it was impossible for him to let Prince Shou hold her, but he had to accept the gift.
"I have prepared it."
As Prince Shou spoke, he took out the purse from his sleeve pocket that he had specially prepared for Chu Qinshu.
"Show it to me."
Lin Fu responded and went down to take the purse from Prince Shou and handed it to Emperor Yongping.
Emperor Yongping opened his purse and took a look. He was very satisfied with the quality and quantity of the goods.
"Okay, I'll keep the gift for Shu'er first, you can go as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible."
As Emperor Yongping finished speaking, Prince Shou was about to stand up to pick up Chu Qinshu when he paused.
This is a gift, but he is not allowed to hold it?
You wouldn't cheat your son in such a way, would you?
"Your Majesty, the Supreme Court Justice Yu has been ordered to enter the palace, and he is already waiting outside the palace."
Just as Prince Shou was about to give his argument, the eunuch outside the palace gate came in to pass on the message.
Now he had to leave even if he didn't want to. It was usually no small matter when the Dali Temple Minister was summoned to the Yu Study.
He is not interested in any of this.
"Father, I will go to my mother's palace."
Without waiting for Emperor Yongping to speak, Prince Shou stood up and left.
Emperor Yongping waved his hands and said, "Forget it, you can go now."
......
As soon as Yu Jinming entered the palace and paid his respects, Emperor Yongping asked, "My dear Yu, is there any conclusive evidence that Prince Huai assassinated the crown prince?"
"In reply to the emperor, the Dali Temple has repeatedly checked this case and the evidence is conclusive."
Yu Jinming calmly replied.
But in his heart he thought: Prince Huai has been imprisoned in the Dali Temple for ten days. The emperor finally remembered him.
"He has been in prison for such a long time, has Concubine Xian done anything?"
Emperor Yongping asked again.
