Chapter 39: What You Want
Luo Qinghan was called to the imperial study by the emperor and was severely scolded.
"Since you have found out who poisoned me, why didn't you tell me first? Why did you tell the Queen first? In your heart, am I not as reliable as the Queen?"
Luo Qinghan knelt straight on the ground: "I didn't mean that."
"If that's not what you meant, what else could it be? Third brother, I hope you can see clearly that the reason I appointed you as the crown prince is not because you are close to the queen, but because you are capable, resourceful, and calm. If you get involved with the queen again, I'm afraid the crown prince position will have to be replaced!"
Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes: "I know I was wrong."
The emperor knew very well the principle of giving a sweet date after a beating.
He helped Luo Qinghan up and spoke earnestly.
"I know that you were raised by the Queen, and you are grateful to her, but the Queen is a woman after all, and her vision is only so far-sighted. You can't be misled by her thoughts. You must remember that you are the crown prince of the Great Sheng Dynasty, and you will take over the world in the future. You must not let a woman sway your thoughts."
"I'll remember this, son."
The emperor patted his shoulder and said, "I still have high hopes for you. Don't let me down."
Then they talked about some things in the court.
When Luo Qinghan left the imperial study, the sun had already set and night was gradually falling.
The palace maid walked in front holding a lantern.
After Luo Qinghan returned to the East Palace, he did not go to the study as usual, but went directly to Qingge Palace.
On the way, Luo Qinghan accidentally found two little yellow things lying on the grass by the roadside.
He stopped and took two steps toward that side.
By the light of the lantern, he found that they were two small and exquisite amulets.
Eunuch Chang bent down, picked up the two amulets and held them in front of the prince.
Luo Qinghan picked up the two amulets and took a look. They were exactly the same as the amulets Xiao Xixi gave him.
He pinched the purse at his waist. The amulet that belonged to him was still in the purse and had not been lost.
Where did these two amulets come from?
This time when the prince entered Qingge Palace, someone was notified.
Xiao Xixi went out early with people to greet them.
"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Luo Qinghan waved the two amulets in his hand in front of her: "Is this yours?"
Xiao Xixi took the amulet and looked at it, frowning and said, "This should be the amulet I gave to my mother and sister. How did they end up in your hands?"
"I just found it on the roadside. Maybe your mother lost it by accident. Do you want someone to deliver it to them?"
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "No need."
She knew Xue's character too well. Xue was always cautious and thoughtful in doing things and never lost anything. She thought that Xue was afraid of being infected by her bad luck, so she deliberately threw away the amulet she gave him.
Noticing the questioning look in Luo Qinghan's eyes, Xiao Xixi took the initiative to explain.
"This afternoon, I noticed that my mother and sister were in bad luck, so I read their fortunes in my mind and found out that they might encounter an accident on the bridge within two days. I was afraid that something might happen to them, so I gave them these two amulets. Unfortunately..."
It’s a pity that Xue didn’t appreciate it.
Luo Qinghan took the two amulets from her hands.
"Since they don't want them, then give them to me. You still owe me two amulets."
Xiao Xixi blinked her eyes and said, "These two amulets were thrown on the ground. Your Highness, don't you feel disgusted?"
"I'm looking for a treasure that can save my life."
…
Prince: Others treat you like a worn-out shoe, but I treat you like a treasure.
