Chapter 161 Must be scared to death
Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes: "That happened a long time ago, I don't remember it clearly anymore."
The emperor smiled and said, "How old were you when you met her? It's been more than ten years. It's normal that you don't remember her. Qin Shi Niang is really good, but she's too soft-hearted. She's fine as a concubine, but she's still a little short of the mark to be the crown princess."
Luo Qinghan lowered his head and said nothing.
It would be difficult for him to comment casually on matters concerning the reputation of an unmarried girl, because it would be troublesome whether he said good or bad.
The emperor also knew this, so he did not force him to respond.
The emperor continued, "In fact, the third lady of Master Jing's family and the fifth lady of Duke Duan's mansion are also very good candidates for the crown princess. Third lady Fu is well-educated, dignified and generous, and Fifth lady Duan is virtuous, beautiful and intelligent. No matter which of them marries you, they will be your good wives."
Whether it is Grand Tutor Jing or Duke Duan, they are both staunch royalists.
The most important thing is that these two people only look glorious, but in fact they have no real power and are just for show.
Luo Qinghan said seriously: "Anyone who can be favored by the emperor must be good."
The emperor warned: "There is still more than half a month before the banquet. Go back and think about it carefully. It is not a trivial matter to appoint a crown princess. You must think twice before acting."
"Your son will follow your father's instructions."
The father and son chatted for a few more minutes before the emperor let the prince leave.
Walking out of the meeting hall, Luo Qinghan immediately saw Nie Changping waiting outside.
Nie Changping was wearing an indigo brocade robe today, with a jade belt around his waist and black boots on his feet. With the corners of his mouth raised, he smiled in a cool and handsome way, giving people a somewhat bad feeling, like a bohemian young man from a noble family.
He stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Luo Qinghan glanced at him: "Why haven't you left yet?"
With just one glance, Nie Changping realized that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in a bad mood at the moment. He quickly put away his smile and spoke seriously.
"I have something to tell you."
Since he had something to say, Luo Qinghan gave up riding in the carriage and walked back to the East Palace with Nie Changping.
Nie Changping lagged behind a little, and said as he walked: "The four assassins we captured earlier are still being held captive. How are you going to deal with them, Your Highness?"
Luo Qinghan said, "Keep it locked up and don't move for now."
"Your Highness, are you not going to hand them over to the Emperor? This is a great opportunity to get rid of the eldest prince."
Luo Qinghan originally wanted to hand them over to his father, but now he has changed his mind.
Based on his understanding of his father, even if his father knew about this, he would not necessarily do anything to Luo Yechen. At most, he would imprison him for a few years, and then find a reason to release him after the storm has passed.
What’s the point of such a painless punishment?
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "Even if I get rid of my eldest brother, there are still my second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, and so on. Do I have to get rid of so many brothers one by one?"
Nie Changping was stumped by the question.
Luo Qinghan: "I have too many enemies. If I deal with them one by one, I will probably not be able to do anything in my life."
Nie Changping: "Your Highness is right."
"I kept those assassins to contain my eldest brother. He looks fierce, but he is actually very timid. He must have guessed that the assassins fell into my hands. He must be scared to death now. The more scared he is, the better it is for us."
