Chapter 898: Fighting for Favor
Luo Yechen was confused and shook his head in bewilderment: "I don't know."
He also found this very strange.
But he has always been a carefree person. Since he can't figure it out, he simply stops thinking about it to avoid wasting his energy.
Luo Qinghan uttered a sentence slowly.
"Because Wang Gan wanted to take this opportunity to sow discord."
Luo Yechen was stunned.
Luo Qinghan: "Wang Gan wants you to help intercede on the surface, but in fact, he wants me to know that you have a private connection with the Wang family. A prince has too close private contact with a noble family. What do you think I will think? If I have a certain degree of distrust in you, I will think that you are secretly colluding with the noble family and have ill intentions."
Luo Yechen was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
He hurriedly defended himself, "I didn't! I have nothing to do with the Wang family. My last name is Luo, and I'm on your side!"
If he had been eyeing the throne covetously before, now he really has no idea about it.
Because he knew very well that no matter in terms of mental means, he was no match for Luo Qinghan.
In fact, from the moment he voluntarily handed over the military command to Luo Qinghan, he had already given up his fight for the throne.
He didn't fight for it when he was young and frivolous. Now that he has a wife and children, it is even more impossible for him to take the risk.
His biggest wish now is that his wife and children can be safe and sound.
Luo Qinghan: "I just said that you are the person I trust the most. If I suspected that you were secretly connected with the Wang family, how could I be confident in entrusting you with such an important task as mining iron ore?"
Luo Yechen was afraid of being suspected, so he quickly expressed his loyalty.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will take care of the iron ore mining. I will definitely do it beautifully for you and will never let the noble families take advantage of it!"
Luo Qinghan achieved his goal and nodded with satisfaction.
"I won't let you stay in the south for too long. You can come back once the iron mining is on track."
Luo Yechen agreed.
Now, as long as the emperor is willing to believe that he is loyal, he will agree to do anything.
Luo Qinghan picked up the wine glass: "I wish you a safe journey."
Luo Yechen quickly picked up the teacup and clinked cups with the other party.
After the King of England left, Luo Qinghan stood up and walked out slowly.
The King of England will soon be heading south.
No one would show off in front of him for a long time.
Luo Qinghan was very satisfied with this ending.
When he saw Xiao Xixi, Xiao Xixi was petting a cat.
The orange cat Lao Wang lay on her legs, squinting his eyes, looking very enjoyable.
The sour feeling in Luo Qinghan's heart began to surge up again.
Compared to the British king who loves to show off, this old king in front of him is more annoying!
Luo Qinghan sat down next to Xixi and said with a wooden face.
"My shoulders and arms are a little sore."
Xiao Xixi looked at him and said, "You must have been sitting for too long every day. From now on, you have to get up and walk around every half an hour. Don't always sit and review memorials. It's not good for your health."
Luo Qinghan: "But my shoulders are sore now and I feel uncomfortable."
Xiao Xixi: "Let someone give you a pinch."
Luo Qinghan: "I don't like being touched by others."
Xiao Xixi was helpless: "I was wondering why your mysophobia comes and goes? When you went south to pray for rain before, you could go for more than ten days without taking a shower. Why don't you even want to be touched now?"
Luo Qinghan looked at her expressionlessly.
Xiao Xixi surrendered: "Okay, okay, I'll give you a pinch."
She put the fat Old Wang aside and began to massage Luo Qinghan.
Lao Wang hadn’t enjoyed himself enough yet, and he meowed at Luo Qinghan in dissatisfaction.
Why is this person trying to compete with it for the position of poop scooper? !
Luo Qinghan glanced down at it condescendingly.
He looked like a winner who had won favor and gained the position.
Lao Wang grabbed Xixi's skirt, trying to get the poop shoveler back.
Luo Qinghan asked someone to bring a plate of dried fish.
Lao Wang immediately forgot about his owner and ran to eat the dried fish.
After successfully getting rid of the annoying guy Lao Wang, Luo Qinghan can finally have Xixi all to himself.
Xiao Xixi massaged his shoulders and asked, "Is this strength okay?"
Luo Qinghan said with satisfaction: "Very good."
When Luo Yechen returned to the Prince of England's Palace, it was already dark.
Bu Shengyan asked, "You haven't eaten yet?"
Luo Yechen nodded. He had only eaten some snacks and drank tea in the Shanglinyuan Palace. Those things were just enough to fill his stomach.
Bu Shengyan: "I haven't eaten yet either. The food is still warming up on the stove. I'll have someone bring it over right away."
Luo Yechen: "You don't have to wait for me, you can eat first, pregnant women can't go hungry."
Bu Shengyan: "What's the point of eating alone?"
Hearing this, Luo Yechen felt extremely guilty.
Bu Shengyan knew him too well and could tell at a glance that he had something to say, so she spoke up.
"Let's eat first. We can talk about anything after we finish eating."
Luo Yechen nodded: "Yes."
The servants brought the food to the table.
The two finished their dinner in silence.
Bu Shengyan wiped her mouth and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
Luo Yechen said dryly: "It's nothing, it's just that I have to leave for Wanhai City tomorrow."
Bu Shengyan was caught off guard by this sudden news.
"Why do you want to go so far away all of a sudden?"
Luo Yechen repeated word for word what the emperor had said to him.
After listening to this, Bu Shengyan remained silent for a long time.
Luo Yechen said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I actually don't want to go, but the emperor has said so much, if I don't go, it will seem like I'm guilty."
Bu Shengyan held his hand and said, "I don't mean to blame you. You did the right thing. You must show your loyalty to the emperor. I was not thoughtful enough before. I didn't expect the Wang family to take this opportunity to sow discord."
Luo Yechen gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
“If I had known Wang Gan had such intentions, I would not have asked anyone to open the door for him.
And my second uncle, who knew that I couldn't have anything to do with aristocratic families with my identity, still brought Wang Gan here and almost killed me.
Fortunately, the emperor is willing to believe me, otherwise I would never be able to wash myself clean even if I jumped into the river!"
Bu Shengyan comforted him, "This incident is a lesson for us. People like us are different from ordinary nobles. We must be more careful in the future and not let others take advantage of us."
Luo Yechen nodded vigorously: "I remember it."
He paused and couldn't help asking.
"Why is Wang Gan trying to sow discord? What good will it do him if the relationship between the emperor and I becomes strained?"
Bu Shengyan: "Maybe they want you to compete with the emperor so that they can take advantage of the situation. Maybe they have other intentions and want to use you to attract the emperor's attention. Or maybe they just want to disgust the emperor. It's hard to say."
Luo Yechen: "No matter what they want to do, I won't get involved!"
