Chapter 165 Delay
Gu Jingchun also knew that the empress dowager's health could not withstand the running back and forth, so he immediately asked Xiaoman to clean up a room for her and let the empress dowager stay there.
As for Chen Hechuan, he asked Dizhi to check the pulses of Gu Jinxi and the Queen Mother respectively. After confirming that they were in good health, he returned to the palace.
Before leaving, he glanced at Gu Jingchun from a distance.
But Gu Jingchun's eyes were always on Gu Jinxi, and he didn't even look at him.
He suddenly felt a little lost.
But the situation was urgent, so he didn't care about anything else and immediately got on the carriage and headed towards the palace.
He has been planning for many years and naturally has his own spies and methods.
It can ensure that you will not be discovered and return to prison quietly.
However, as soon as he entered the city gate, news came.
"Your Highness, news just came that Concubine Hui is taking His Majesty to the Heavenly Prison."
Chen Hechuan: “Find a way to stop him.”
Tianji also wants to stop it.
But, that’s the emperor, who dares to stop him?
Chen Hechuan also thought of this, paused for a moment, and then said: "Have you sent anyone to Jingyu Palace?
Tianji paused and suddenly realized.
"Your Highness is indeed clever. I had forgotten about the Empress. With the Empress taking action, she will surely be able to hold Your Majesty back."
Having said that, Tianji quickly went to report the news to Jiang Xianhao.
On the road to the prison.
"Your Majesty, how could you be so impulsive and imprison the Crown Prince? He's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
If you act like this, I'm afraid the court officials will accuse me of bewitching you."
Emperor Rongcheng had a cold face and snorted.
"He brought it upon himself."
"If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!"
Emperor Rongcheng was still very angry and didn't want to talk to her anymore.
During this period of time, Concubine Hui's status has risen a lot because she has been helping Emperor Rongcheng to "relieve" his worries day and night.
So much so that now, during the day, Emperor Rongcheng is willing to go out with her.
In fact, today Concubine Hui had to spend a lot of time persuading Emperor Rongcheng to agree to go to the prison.
"Your Majesty, this time, Prince Rui is truly wrong. You've locked him up for so long, it's time to release him."
Concubine Hui added another sentence as she spoke.
"He hasn't forgotten to study even in prison. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself later."
"Um."
Emperor Rongcheng just said "hmm" as a response.
Concubine Hui continued, "It's just right. You can go see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Perhaps His Royal Highness has realized his mistake and changed his mind."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Rongcheng could not help but snort coldly.
"What a nonsense! Even if he regrets it, I will not let him marry the girl from the Situ family."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Concubine Hui.
"It would be better for me to give it to Prince Rui than for me to give it to him."
When Concubine Hui heard this, her heart moved, but she still smiled.
"Your Majesty, you are making fun of me again. I don't even know what level Prince Rui is at!
Such a good marriage should be left to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
As for Prince Rui, I only ask that you show some mercy and let him out as soon as possible."
"I haven't seen him for a long time."
As she spoke, Concubine Hui began to sob softly.
Concubine Hui was very clear about Emperor Rongcheng's thoughts.
His words at this time were testing her. If she was happy about Emperor Rongcheng's light words, it would definitely arouse Emperor Rongcheng's suspicion.
Emperor Rongcheng was allowed to depose the crown prince if he wanted to.
However, it is absolutely not allowed for Prince Rui to compete for the position of crown prince.
At least, it is not allowed now in front of Emperor Rongcheng.
When Emperor Rongcheng saw Concubine Hui crying pitifully, he felt distressed and couldn't help but sigh.
"Forget it. He's been locked up for a long time. I think he's learned his lesson. Let's let it go this time. If he does something stupid like this again, I will never forgive him."
Concubine Hui nodded happily and immediately stepped forward to shake Emperor Rongcheng's hand.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will teach Prince Rui well in the future and will never let him do such a foolish thing again.
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came.
"What a coincidence, I actually met His Majesty and the Concubine here."
Emperor Rongcheng did not expect that Jiang Xianhao would come here, and subconsciously let go of Concubine Hui.
He took a step towards Jiang Xianhao, putting some distance between him and Concubine Hui, and then he said, "Ah Hao, why are you here?"
"Do you feel better today?"
Jiang Xianhao saluted and said:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am much better now. However, I heard today that the Crown Prince made a mistake and was thrown into prison by you.
I was unaware of the situation and wanted to go and visit, but unexpectedly I ran into Your Majesty on the road."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Rongcheng was momentarily flustered before saying, "Today I was planning to grant him a marriage, but this fellow was stubborn and unyielding, which is why I got angry. Now I'm going to see if he has repented."
Jiang Xianhao: "Your Majesty, as the ruler of a country, your words are the imperial decree. If the prince disobeys, he is wrong. I am going there just now to persuade him so that he won't make you angry."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Rongcheng looked somewhat relieved, thinking that Jiang Xianhao had become much more sensible in recent days.
He immediately took a step forward, took her hand in his and gently stroked it, then said: "Ah Hao, you have been feeling more and more distressed about me recently."
"Your Majesty is so busy with affairs of state that it is only natural for me to feel sorry for you. I was ignorant before, which is why I made Your Majesty angry for so many years. Now I have learned my lesson and naturally want to advise the Crown Prince."
"only……"
As Jiang Xianhao spoke, his voice became more choked with sobs.
It's just that I've rarely been with the Crown Prince these past few years, and he and I have become somewhat distant. I'm going today to strengthen the bond between mother and son."
Concubine Hui watched the two people's actions with an expressionless face, but her hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched tightly together, and she was gritting her teeth in hatred.
She didn't expect that Jiang Xianhao was so eloquent now, and he could coax Rong Chendi with just a few words. If it were before, it would have taken a lot of effort.
At this time, Chen Hechuan had been put back into prison under the protection of everyone.
Only after everything was arranged did Tianji breathe a sigh of relief and secretly gave Jiang Xianhao a signal.
Jiang Xianhao saw a gesture in the distance and immediately knew that the task was accomplished. Her body then went limp and she was about to fall. It was thanks to Emperor Rong Cheng who supported her in time that she did not fall.
"How are you?"
Jiang Xianhao shook his head weakly.
"I'm fine, but my body isn't holding up. I couldn't bear it after just a few steps."
She sighed as she spoke.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't see the prince today, so please take a look at him for me.
If he can come out, you must let him come to my palace. I would like to persuade him more."
