Chapter 763 Sun Liao

The prince stole a glance at his father and knelt on the ground, "My legs are numb."

He hadn't kneeled for a long time. The last time he knelt was during the New Year's ancestor worship. His knees were very precious and he seldom kneeled since he was a child. He was different from his several annoying younger brothers who were trained by kneeling, but he really had never practiced much.

The Emperor's last bit of anger faded. He was too kind to the Crown Prince, so he reacted so strongly to his son's distrust. Now, looking at his eldest son sitting on the ground, he laughed out loud, "I really spoiled you."

The prince was not embarrassed, "Because father dotes on his son, and I know that father treats him the best."

The emperor reached out his hand and pulled his eldest son to stand up. He did not let go of his hand until his son stood up. The father and son had not stood so close together for a long time. The emperor found that his eldest son was half a head taller than him. He took a step back and said, "Pretend to be more confined."

The prince was relieved. He knew clearly how his father had treated him in the past two years, but his father did not take it to heart. "Yes."

The emperor said, "I will investigate Sun Liao's case thoroughly. During your confinement, you should also investigate your subordinates."

The prince's eyes were heavy. It had only been two days since the show started, but the evidence was already so complete. It would not be found in a short time. He really should investigate it carefully. "Son, I understand."

The Emperor waited for the Crown Prince to leave. He was no longer angry with his son and his mind was particularly calm. Haha, Sun Liao's case was not simple. Sun Liao had been in his eyes for ten years. Ten years ago, his other sons did not have the ability to bribe Sun Liao. There must be someone with problems under the Crown Prince, just waiting for the opportunity to explode.

Eunuch Liu shrank his neck and swallowed his saliva. He hoped that the Crown Prince would come back. But when he thought that the Crown Prince had not come to the Zheng Palace recently, he felt as if everything was dark before his eyes!

Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren returned to the room and just sat down.

Qiu Yan came over and asked, "What's wrong with you today? You look a little serious?"

During the days they worked together, Zhou Shuren always had a smile on his face. He had never seen this guy change his expression. Today he was much more serious.

Zhou Shuren thought for a moment and told the story of what happened in the court, "That's what happened. Not only was I serious, but the Minister also had a serious face when he came back."

Qiu Yan's eyes widened. He had always believed that the prince would succeed him, and his expression became more serious. "This is a big deal. The prince is the one who stabilizes the court. I just hope it will be over as soon as possible."

He doesn't want to take sides. The Qiu family has been in a period of transition in the past two years, and he still has a few more years to climb up. It's wrong to take sides. The future of the whole family will be at stake!

Zhou Shuren knew a lot about Qiu Yan. This man would have some little tricks, but as long as he was the one who recognized him, Qiu Yan would be easy to talk to. Zhou Shuren patted Qiu Yan on the shoulder to comfort him.

Qiu Yan didn't feel comforted, he just felt that everyone was in the same boat!

Zhou Shuren sat down and looked through the account books. He still firmly believed that the emperor and the prince were acting just to make it seem more realistic. Thinking of this, his brows relaxed.

At Zhou's house, Zhulan invited the owner of the jewelry shop to come. The owner brought a catalogue with him. Zhulan said to the lady beside her, "Take a look and see which styles you like."

Xue Han knew that it was a wedding jewellery order for her, but the styles were too gorgeous. "Mom, the styles are too gorgeous."

She felt that she couldn't carry it, so she chose something simpler.

Zhulan thought, I still think it's not gorgeous enough. These are still a little inferior to the jewellery in the palace, but this is already the best jewellery shop in the capital. "You can't be careless about bridal jewellery. Choose some you like."

Xue Han was stunned for a moment, then thought of Rong Chuan's life experience, and calmed down to look through the booklet.

The jewelry store owner said, "These are the latest styles. If you don't like any of them, I can provide you with some."

Xue Han asked, "Can you provide the style yourself?"

"OK."

Xue Han's ears turned red. "I have a set of this style in my hand, Liuli, go get it."

Zhulan looked at the red tips of her girl's ears, she understood clearly that it must have been drawn by Rongchuan. She really didn't realize that Rongchuan was quite romantic when he grew up. When she thought of Zhou Shuren, she was not jealous, as Zhou Shuren had also made custom jewelry for her.

Soon, Liuli came back and handed the painting to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked at it carefully and said, "Although it is a bit complicated, it can still be made, it just takes a longer time."

Xue Han said: "It doesn't matter if it takes a little longer, as long as it can be done."

Zhulan smiled and said, "Please choose some more. Your wedding makeup cannot be just a set of jewelry."

Xue Han's ears turned even redder, as if she was in a hurry to marry Rong Chuan. She lowered her head to choose the style, and then picked two more sets, "Mom, I've chosen."

Zhulan took the booklet and looked at the two sets chosen by the lady. After flipping through them, she saw that there was indeed nothing good left. She put the booklet down and said, "Take these three sets first. These are gems. Keep them."

Mrs. Song handed the box in her hand to the shopkeeper, "Look carefully and count it. Check it carefully to make sure there are no mistakes. There are gifts from the palace in here. You can't afford to lose them."

The shopkeeper's hand holding the box was still steady. He had taken on many business from the government and had seen the gems awarded by the palace. However, he still checked carefully, counted them with a booklet, and made a note of them. After confirming that there was no problem, he put the box away and said, "I will take it now. The jewelry will be delivered to your house in three months."

Zhulan, "Okay, this is the deposit."

"yes."

In Lizhou, Changyi was about to set off back to the capital. Looking at Keqi who was sitting beside him, his brother-in-law had been very dependent on him these days. "Don't just stand there and watch. The dishes are all served. Eat more."

Qian Keqi pursed his lips and didn't move his chopsticks, "Brother-in-law, are you leaving?"

"You are smart. Invite your teacher from the academy to dinner in the evening. I will be ready to return to Beijing tomorrow afternoon."

He has stayed for a few days just for this kid.

Qian Keqi pursed his lips. When his brother-in-law was not here, he felt that he was fine being alone and could take care of himself. After his brother-in-law came, he always took care of him and even stayed with him for a day. Now that his brother-in-law is gone, he feels reluctant to let him go.

Chang Yi patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder and said, "I heard from your teacher that you are doing well in your studies. When you pass the exam to become a scholar, you can come to the academy in the capital to study."

Qian Keqi was stunned for a moment, then blinked his eyes. He understood what his brother-in-law meant. His brother-in-law welcomed him, and he smiled, "Yeah."

In the capital, Zhou Shuren left the government office and met the Fifth Prince as soon as he stepped out of the door. Zhou Shuren thought that he was not looking for him, so he walked towards his own carriage.

"Master Zhou, Master Zhou, please don't leave!"

Zhou Shuren stopped in his tracks, speechless. It turned out that they were really looking for him. "How long has the Fifth Prince been here?"

Zhang Jinghong was very upset, "It's been a while since we arrived."

Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows, "Then why not go to the Ministry of Revenue?"

"I dare not enter. I am poor, unlike my brothers who have rich families. I don't have money to give to the Ministry of Revenue, so I won't enter this door."

Zhou Shuren, "......Then why is the Fifth Prince looking for me?"
