Chapter 757 He is a Genius
Prince Xiao wanted to go to the palace to see the emperor and discuss the next step with him, but he was stopped directly outside the palace gate.
"What does Commander Yu mean?"
Commander Yu himself did not come to Prince Xiao, but asked several imperial guards to stop Prince Xiao, while he himself remained some distance behind.
In the past few months, Prince Xiao's status in the emperor's heart has risen sharply. He often enters the palace. The emperor even gives him certain powers and allows him to enter the palace to meet the emperor at any time.
This was the first time he was stopped directly at the palace gate.
This Commander Yu had been very fawning towards him before, and he would flatter him non-stop whenever he saw him. But now, he was standing there looking at him from between several Royal Guards, with a somewhat distant look in his eyes.
Prince Xiao felt a little depressed.
"Prince Xiao, the emperor is not available today and will not see you. Please go back." Commander Yu said.
"Nonsense, I came to the palace just to worry about the emperor. The emperor clearly said before that if there is anything, I can go directly to the palace. What do you want to do?"
"Isn't that what happened before today? Anyway, the emperor hasn't been available to see you recently, so you should hurry back."
"I don't believe it! I have something important to tell you. Please let me go in and talk to the emperor in person."
"The Emperor is gone, Your Majesty, please don't make it difficult for me."
Prince Xiao had been in great favor with the Emperor during this period and had already become somewhat inflated. Now that he was being obstructed by this small commander of the Imperial Guards, he felt very embarrassed. His face darkened and he wanted to take a few steps forward.
"Prince Xiao, do you want to force your way in?"
With a swish, following Commander Yu's words, the Imperial Guards immediately drew their swords, with the tips of their swords pointed at Prince Xiao. They looked as if they would stab him in the heart if he took another step forward.
This is for real!
Prince Xiao was shocked and angry. He really couldn't understand why the emperor suddenly became so cruel to him!
We were still having a secret conversation in the Imperial Study yesterday! Just one night later, the Emperor's attitude completely changed?
Prince Xiao looked at the ruthless Commander Yu and felt a little aggrieved. He even felt that the emperor had become a heartless scumbag.
He turned and left.
When the emperor heard the report, he also felt a little angry.
"Luckily, I knew about the prison incident long ago! Prince Jun fell ill and was freezing like a ghost, which means the disease is highly contagious! Prince Xiao must have come into contact with that person indirectly, and he still dared to come to see me? He really doesn't care about my safety!"
Prince Xiao doesn't care about him at all!
Although Prince Xiao said that he had never seen the man infected with the disease and had no contact with him, he still had to arrange for people to contact him. After those people handled the matter, they would come back and report to Prince Xiao, right?
With so much going on, who knows if anyone was infected?
He has the body of a dragon, so noble that he cannot take any risks.
"This matter is all thanks to Concubine Le." The emperor felt a little scared.
He had trusted Prince Xiao too much before, and thought that this matter had always been handled by Prince Xiao and his son, so he did not intervene and just let them do it.
Just now, Concubine Le told him that she heard the news that Prince Jun fell ill and was forcibly taken back to Prince Jun's Mansion by Fu Zhaoning. Only then did he suddenly remember.
Prince Xiao said that the man's internal disease was very contagious.
"This time, Concubine Le has really done a great deed and reminded me. I must reward her well. Pass the order down. I will go to have lunch with Concubine Le at noon. Then I will go to the storehouse to pick out two oriental pearls for her."
The chief eunuch bowed and responded.
After the emperor issued this decree, he thought of his small warehouse.
He was really poor. The former emperor really didn't leave him much! When the former emperor passed the throne to him, he complained to him about his poverty, saying that not only was the national treasury empty, but his private treasury also had few things.
The retired emperor spoke very nicely, saying that it was unfair to leave him such a humble throne, but he still hoped that he could be a good emperor and do his best to make the people live a good life and fill the national treasury.
Pooh.
He didn't believe that the emperor's wealth had been drained away by the previous disasters.
They must have all been given to Xiao Lanyuan.
As a result, he now has nothing good to give as a reward to his beloved concubine.
What did Xiao Lanyuan get when he went out last year? What can he get from the three tokens left by the emperor?
The emperor really wanted to find an opportunity to send people into Prince Jun’s mansion to conduct a thorough search.
But after so long, he still hasn't found a good opportunity or a good excuse.
Now that Xiao Lanyuan might be infected with that disease, it would be even more impossible for him to step into Prince Jun's Mansion.
The emperor called the shadow guard, his expression gloomy, "Go and find out whether Prince Jun fell ill because he couldn't stand the coldness of the prison, or if he contracted those dirty diseases. You must find out clearly, and send someone else to investigate, and don't send anyone who is close to Prince Jun's mansion to meet me again."
The shadow guard saluted and responded, "Yes."
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother should be able to return to the palace tomorrow." Someone came in to report.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.
"She really dares to come back."
This time, Xiao Lanyuan went to Dahe secretly under the pretext of accompanying the Queen Mother to the Huguo Temple. He wanted to see whether the Queen Mother was helping him on purpose or was unable to stop him.
He used to think that the Queen Mother hated Xiao Lanyuan, but now he doubted it.
If not, then the Queen Mother had been pretending to be nice to him, and he couldn't tolerate being deceived like this.
"Wait until the Queen Mother comes back," the Emperor made up his mind and made a decision, "Don't let her enter the palace yet. Tell her at the city gate that Prince Jun is in a coma and assume the most serious consequences."
He wanted to see if the Queen Mother would be so anxious that she would go to visit Prince Jun first after hearing that Prince Jun was unconscious again.
It would be embarrassing if she really went to Prince Jun's mansion. Prince Jun might have contracted a serious disease. Once the Queen Mother went in, she should not come out!
If the Queen Mother is also infected, then -
The Queen Mother should blame Prince Jun.
From now on, he won't have to tolerate the fact that there is someone in the palace and he won't have to pretend to be filial. From now on, there will be no one to put pressure on him in the palace.
"Hahaha! I am such a talented person!"
The emperor felt that he was very impressive to have come up with this idea.
The news that Prince Jun fell ill in prison and Princess Jun broke into the prison and forcibly took him back to the palace quickly spread throughout the capital.
It was said that Prince Jun's mansion soon closed its doors and refused to see any visitors, and no one in the mansion opened the door to come out.
Such a majestic palace was so quiet that it seemed as if no one was living there, strangely giving off a feeling of coldness, loneliness and sadness.
Soon someone found out the inside story.
"I heard that a prisoner with a serious illness was locked up in the cell opposite Prince Jun. It is very likely that Prince Jun was infected with the disease!"
"That person has an incurable disease, that kind of disease!"
Such news quickly spread throughout the city.
