Chapter 258: Close Face Opening
Jiang Sheng came to the emperor and talked in private for a while before leaving.
When there were only two people left in the hall, the emperor stood up and walked to An Jiu. He lowered his head and took a breath on her neck, and felt comfortable instantly.
An Jiu was stunned.
What kind of a trick is this?
"His Majesty……"
The emperor held her in his arms.
"Let me hold you for a while."
For the first time, the emperor experienced what it meant to miss someone so much that it felt like a long time had passed.
He spent the whole morning wondering what Xiaojiu was doing.
An Jiu patted his back amusedly.
After a long while, the emperor let her go and reluctantly sat down to read the memorials. After reading a few of them, he began to daydream about the morning court.
Today, the court talked about the war in the south again. The emperor guessed correctly that the Chu people were not well-off, and they wanted to fight quickly and decisively. However, after King Jing went there, the defense force was greatly increased. Defending a city is much easier than attacking it, and...
There is also the support of King Ming in the rear.
An Jiu paused.
She remembered that Prince Ming was still in the capital. When the State of Chu first invaded, Prince Ming planned to return to the southwest with Prince Jing, but he was invited back by the emperor before he had gone far.
The emperor's original words were: "There is a war in the south now, and I am really worried about my second brother going back alone."
King Ming was so angry that he almost burst into curses.
An Jiu didn't understand the emperor's actions at that time, but now she understands.
King Ming is obsessed with mountains and rivers, and this is not just talk, he really doesn't care about anything. In other words, the person who really manages his fiefdom is his mother.
This concubine is a smart person. When the court and Chu go to war, and only King Jing goes there, she may not provide help. She may even choose to watch from the sidelines and protect herself. But what if King Ming is in the capital...
That is the hostage in the hands of the emperor.
Even if the concubine has all kinds of plans, she has nowhere to use them.
She could only help King Jing defend the city, otherwise, the emperor would not know how to deal with King Ming...
An Jiu looked at the emperor's round head and silently gave him a thumbs up in his heart.
You are indeed your father's smartest little tiger.
Anjiu's thoughts were also flying. When she came to her senses, the emperor had already stood up. He straightened his clothes and said with a smile: "Xiaojiu, let's go out for a while."
Anjiu was curious about where he was going in broad daylight, but the emperor didn't tell her until they arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion.
Prince Jing is at home.
The emperor took a look behind the screen as soon as he entered the room.
Prince Jing also glanced at the screen and said calmly, "Does the emperor like it?"
The emperor nodded: "Not bad."
【There is someone behind! 】
An Jiu widened his eyes and looked towards the screen, curious about who was behind it.
Does Prince Jing have a mistress hidden in his golden house?
That’s unlikely. Prince Jing’s health... I’m afraid it’s not going well!
Prince Jing smiled gently and said, "If you like it, I will give it to my brother."
The emperor asked meaningfully, "Are you willing to give away your beloved things just like that?"
Prince Jing sighed and said helplessly: "I am a dying man, it is useless for me to have these things."
Is it useless?
The emperor didn't think so.
A dying person may really want nothing.
But only those who are about to die can be willing to take everyone with them to death.
The less you want, the more you may want.
"Do you still remember Han Yun?" the emperor suddenly asked.
Prince Jing was startled and lowered his eyes: "Remember, the people around mother."
The emperor sighed and said, "This Han Yun, I suspect he is a spy from the State of Chu."
An Jiu "..."
She thought the emperor came to test the waters, but she didn't expect him to come directly to Prince Jing's mansion and attack Prince Jing right in the face.
"How did your royal brother know this?" Prince Jing asked expressionlessly.
The emperor said: "Qiao Dong died two days ago. I have already found out that he was the murderer of my mother. Before he died, he mentioned a few names: Liu Chen, Wang Decai, and Han Yun..."
An Jiu didn't expect Qiao Dong to say so much before he died. He was really a considerate villain...
[It doesn’t matter whether Qiao Dong said it or not. I said he said it, so he said it.]
[I want to see how you respond? ]
An Jiu "..."
After the emperor finished speaking, he did not look at Prince Jing, but instead looked at the rising and falling tea leaves in the teacup.
[Xiao Yu, what do you want to do? ]
"My royal brother, what do you mean by telling me this?" Prince Jing looked at the emperor, his expression noticeably colder.
The emperor was in a dilemma: "Han Yun is now with Concubine Shu, and Qiao Dong is dead. It is not easy for me to take action against Han Yun based on what he said before his death."
Prince Jing laughed angrily: "Brother, you want evidence now that you have arrested a eunuch?"
This was clearly a mockery.
But the emperor said: "We still have Concubine Shu. I have to consider Concubine Shu's face."
After a pause, he continued, "Besides, Han Yun is already a spy. Maybe Concubine Shu has also been bewitched by him... And the Concubine has you and Prince Duan. I am worried that it will affect our brotherly relationship."
The smile on Prince Jing's face faded again.
"My brother is the emperor, above all others, so why should he worry about us?"
The emperor looked at him and asked, "Do you really think so?"
Prince Jing asked back, "What else? Isn't that what my brother is waiting for me to say?"
The emperor asked again: "What if we find out from Han Yun that Concubine Hui has a problem?"
Prince Jing's face darkened.
"Brother, do you have to rely on your words to tell me everything?"
The emperor chuckled: "Look, you are angry again. Am I assuming?"
Prince Jing said: "I don't like this assumption very much."
The emperor picked up the teacup and gently scratched it with the lid. The room was very quiet, so the sound was particularly harsh.
"Then I will arrest Han Yun..." The emperor put the teacup on the table.
Prince Jing looked at him, was silent for a while, and sneered: "Brother, you don't need to ask me what you want to do."
…
Only after leaving Prince Jing's Mansion did An Jiu breathe a sigh of relief.
The emperor got on the carriage, hugged Anjiu and asked proudly: "Xiaojiu, was I very powerful just now?"
An Jiu was speechless. He pushed him away and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that Prince Jing will take action..."
The emperor shook his head: "Old Five is not someone who would turn hostile to me in person, but I have already overturned the table, and they will take action next."
If he wants to live a peaceful life with Xiaojiu, he must eliminate these hidden dangers in the harem...
What if another Qiao Dong comes? Can he still keep on guard?
There are always times of negligence.
If something happened to Xiaojiu, he found it hard to accept just thinking about it.
So, he wanted these people to take the initiative.
Then catch them all in one swoop.
After returning to the palace, An Jiu learned that before leaving the palace, the emperor had ordered the arrest of Han Yun.
Unfortunately, Jiang Sheng came up empty-handed.
Han Yun is not in the palace.
An Jiu frowned: "Your Majesty, could the person behind the screen be Han Yun?"
The emperor also had this guess, and he said to Jiang Sheng: "Keep a close eye on these people."
The emperor's actions caused quite a stir, especially among Concubine Shu and
She sent someone over to ask what happened.
The emperor gave her no answer.
…
Tonight, the emperor went to bed early. Anjiu couldn't wait for the tyrant, so she also slept next to the emperor. She thought the tyrant would wake her up, but he didn't. Anjiu slept until dawn, and then she found out that the tyrant had caused a big disaster last night...
