Chapter 87
Zhu Jingchen remained silent; he couldn't say for sure whether there was a misunderstanding.
However, a seed of doubt was ultimately sown.
Zhu Jingchen appeared calm and unaffected on the surface, but inwardly he was seething with jealousy.
You bastard Xu Heming, I treated you like a confidant, but you tried to steal my woman!
Although he has many women, that's not a reason for him to cheat on them.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jingchen felt heartbroken. He wondered who it was that Xu Heming had seduced.
Consort Xian? Consort Liang? Consort Shu? Or Consort De?
Or perhaps Consort Lan? Or Consort Xia?
The more Zhu Jingchen thought about it, the more his brows furrowed.
He had thought of everyone in the entire harem except the Empress, but he still couldn't figure out who dared to have an affair with a man outside the palace.
What puzzled him most was that he had a lot of chores to give Xu Heming every day, so where did he find the time to seduce his concubines?
Why didn't he notice anything?
"Liu Xi, who does Xu Heming usually associate with?" Zhu Jingchen couldn't figure it out himself, so he quickly asked Liu Gonggong, who was standing next to him.
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Liu tensed up.
Does the Emperor doubt himself?
Receiving Zhu Jingchen's probing gaze, Eunuch Liu also thought about it carefully.
Prince An was responsible for handling many tasks, both big and small, for the Emperor on a daily basis. He was usually very busy, and there were times when he did not return to his residence for three days.
If you were to ask him how often Prince An returns to the palace, he would be able to answer immediately. But if you were to ask him who Prince An has the most contact with, he would be much more difficult to answer.
He needs to think about this problem carefully.
"Your Majesty, if we're talking about who has had the most contact with Prince An, it's probably just Your Majesty and this old servant," Eunuch Liu said truthfully after thinking for a long time.
After all, Prince An had to consult with the Emperor about official business every day, which meant that his visit had to be approved by the Emperor himself.
The person with whom Prince An had the most interaction was none other than himself and the Emperor.
"Damn it, who is that slut?" Zhu Jingchen was clearly dissatisfied with the answer. Xu Heming had seduced his woman right under his nose.
The group soon arrived at the entrance of the Cold Palace.
Zhu Hanyu finally realized that his good father had stopped.
He almost threw up the whole way.
"Father, please put your son down!" Zhu Hanyu said weakly, patting Zhu Jingchen's back.
"Hey, why are you still on my back?" Zhu Jingchen quickly put the person down, thinking to himself with dissatisfaction, "This little brat is really smug. He doesn't even want to walk a few steps and insists on carrying me. He really doesn't care about his father at all."
Zhu Hanyu stood to the side, panting, wanting to say something, but then he saw the dog hole in front of him and remembered that Xu Qingshi was still in that wicked woman's hands.
Ignoring everything else, he hurried to the dog hole, waved to Zhu Jingchen, and shouted, "Father, hurry, let's go save Qingshi! If we don't go now, it will be too late."
After Zhu Hanyu finished speaking, he was about to crawl through the dog hole.
"You little brat, you want me to go this way?" Zhu Jingchen quickly grabbed Zhu Hanyu by the back of his collar, pointing to his own nose in disbelief.
Everyone kept their eyes down, trying to suppress their laughter, since only the Third Prince dared to say such a thing to the Emperor.
