Chapter 94: Smooth progress(1/2)
"Dispose the body!"
Looking at the corpse of the rich businessman, He Yuansheng had no trouble in his heart. This person was a professional liar. I don’t know how many people he harmed, and killing him was considered to eliminate harm for the people.
This matter is related to his wealth and life. He Yuansheng will not let go of any possibility of exposure. The few ruffians who had acted in Tianqiao were also destroyed afterwards.
Now, in order to keep it secret, even if he kills a few innocent people, He Yuansheng will not hesitate. This is because he has been arrogant for a long time and his mentality has gradually changed.
"promise!"
The two subordinates agreed very simply because to the Jinyiwei, killing a few people was nothing, and there was still a problem with this person, so he didn't even need to find an excuse to kill him.
The next morning, He Yuansheng entered the palace and quietly met Xiao Dezi, and handed him a pair of calligraphy and paintings.
"You think of a way to make this painting appear in the prince's study or bedroom!"
"What do you want to do?"
Xiao Dezi took the calligraphy and painting, asked with a serious expression, and looked at the painting carefully.
"Don't worry, this painting is fine, it's for others to see!"
He Yuansheng explained lightly, paused, and added: "This matter is related to our major event."
Xiao Dezi thought about it and spoke very seriously: "I will hand it over to the Emperor Changsun, and give it to the prince in the name of His Highness!"
He Yuansheng nodded. This is also the reason why Emperor Changsun must take action. After all, the East Palace is so vigilant that something is inexplicably added and will be discovered soon.
Moreover, if this thing is put on the surface, it requires a more appropriate reason.
At the same time, Ye Yumeng also handed Cai'er two things, namely a fan and a jade pendant.
"I am an orphan. How can I explain the origin of these two things!"
Cai'er obviously doesn't want to cooperate, otherwise with her mind, how could there be no way to do such a small matter?
"Just tell me that your aunt knows about your current situation. I have pity you, an orphan girl, and the two dowry prepared for you!"
My cousin appeared, and the reason for dowry was naturally very reasonable. Cai'er could not refuse, so she had to agree reluctantly.
That night, Emperor Changsun and Xiao Dezi appeared outside the main hall of the East Palace.
"Company, you won't be punished, are you?"
Huang Changsun, who was waiting to be summoned, was very nervous. Although he and the prince were father and son, they had never met him several times.
"Just just give the prince a gift and show his filial piety, your highness don't have to be afraid!"
Emperor Changsun was not very brave, so Xiao Dezi naturally would not tell him the truth, so as not to make a mistake.
"Why……"
Emperor Changsun wanted to speak, but at this time, the eunuch who went to ask for instructions came back.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince let you in!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Li!"
Xiao Dezi immediately thanked him, took out an inlay of silver from his arms and handed it over quietly.
Eunuch Li calmly put it into his sleeve and said, "Your Highness is not in a good mood!"
This prompt is naturally the function of silver. Even if Eunuch Li goes in and reports, it is Xiao Dezi who spent the money.
"Thank you!"
Afterwards, the master and servant walked into the main hall and saw the prince sitting on a large chair, flipping through a book.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing the eldest son coming in, the prince put down the book in his hand and asked coldly.
Huang Changsun quickly spoke: "The child got a good ancient painting and wanted to present it to..."
"What ancient painting!"
Before the Emperor Changsun finished speaking, the prince interrupted him and his tone was a little annoyed.
Such an unwelcome appearance made Huang Changsun shudder and didn't know how to answer. Xiao Dezi reacted quickly and immediately took out his calligraphy and paintings, found a place to lay it out, and slowly unfolded it.
"Prince, please see!"
The scroll was opened, and the prince also came over to take a look, but couldn't see anything.
After all, this prince was not in a good situation before, and his vision and knowledge were limited, so he naturally could not tell whether it was good or bad.
"This is an ancient painting from the previous dynasty, and its value is..."
Fortunately, Xiao Dezi was smart and saw that the prince didn't understand, so he immediately explained and said in detail.
However, the words are exaggerated, which is why the prince does not pay attention to it and cannot achieve his goal.
After introducing the ancient paintings, Xiao Dezi became anxious again when he saw the emperor Changsun being stunned and did not dare to say anything.
According to the previous agreement, after introducing the ancient paintings, it was time for Huang Changsun to speak.
But now the other party did not respond at all. Xiao Dezi had no choice but to worry about missing the opportunity, so he plucked up his courage and said: "Your Highness, this is the filial piety of the emperor and the eldest grandson. It is better to hang it in the study and let others see it. What is a kind father and a filial son..."
Originally, the prince did not pay attention to this painting, but the four words "father is kind and son is filial" made him think of something.
"Hang up!"
"promise!"
After finding a conspicuous place to hang the calligraphy and paintings, seeing that the prince seemed to be thinking about something, Xiao Dezi quickly pulled the sleeves of the emperor Changsun.
"Goodbye, my child!"
A stiff sentence made Xiao Dezi a little helpless, which was too unruly.
Fortunately, the prince was thinking about his thoughts and had no time to pay attention to the emperor and Changsun, so he nodded immediately.
After the two left, the prince immediately shouted: "Come!"
Several young eunuchs immediately appeared: "Your Highness!"
"Go to find the princess and ask her to prepare a gift, and I want to give it to my father!"
Through the actions of the emperor and Changsun, the prince thought that he should go to the emperor to show his filial piety, after all, the situation is not good at the moment.
An hour later, the prince showed up outside the East Warehouse with several gifts.
"Let him come in!"
When the emperor heard the prince's request for a meeting, he was a little annoyed because he issued an order a few days ago to ask the prince to think about his mistakes behind closed doors, but the other party actually jumped out.
Even if you are angry, you must not be dismissed. After all, you are the crown prince of the country and you must not be humiliated easily.
In a short while, the prince took two eunuchs to the Donghunting Pavilion.
"See Father!"
"Get up, what's wrong with you here!"
"My son has obtained a few antiques and wants to respect his father and emperor!"
After saying that, the prince asked someone to take out the gift he brought and placed it respectfully in front of Longshu's desk.
The emperor immediately raised his eyebrows, feeling that the prince's behavior was abnormal and there was a strange feeling.
This father and son are so indifferent to each other and rarely communicate with each other, so don’t give gifts.
"If there is nothing else, just kneel down and rest!"
Although he felt strange, the emperor never liked the prince. Seeing that there was nothing big about him, he wanted to send him away.
"promise!"
Originally, the prince wanted to exchange feelings with the emperor to stabilize the reserve position, but he didn't expect that this would be the result.
After the brief meeting, the prince returned to the East Palace in annoyance. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He cursed hatefully: "I am immortal!"
The prince is afraid and hated to the emperor now. If the emperor dies now, he will probably be the happiest person.
The emperor in the Dongnuan Pavilion also asked Li Zhi: "What are the plans of the prince?"
The prince's abnormal behavior not only did nothing, but instead made the emperor suspicious.
After all, the matter of Maitreya Sect is not over yet, and the Jinyiwei is trying his best to capture the main characters.
However, the prince was too close to the host of the Maitreya Temple, so the emperor naturally had to think more.
"this!"
Li Zhi didn't know what to say, but he had already realized that the emperor had the intention of deposing the crown prince again.
But the crown prince is not so easy to be deposed. The emperor is old and does not decisive in his work. Li Zhi is very worried that if he says the wrong thing, he will suffer endless troubles.
"Maybe the prince just wants to show his filial piety!"
After hesitating for a while, Li Zhi still dared not say much. After all, the court officials' attitude was unclear, and the matter of Maitreya Cult did not involve the prince.
Unexpectedly, the emperor said sarcastically: "Filial piety!"
"snort!"
