Unparalleled Concubine

Emperor Chengde lowered his head and thought for a moment, then his face sank and he let out a long sigh.

"You're right, the fourth brother can indeed do such a thing."

The emperor sighed: "He left the palace at the age of 16 to start a mansion, and it has been nine years this year. In nine years, I don't know him very well."

Li Xin quickly bowed his head: "Your Majesty, I have never said that I am the Fourth Prince..."

Separating the flesh and blood of the Tian family is the crime of beheading.

The emperor was a little depressed, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Chen Ju, ask the Inspector of Internal Guards to send someone to the Wang's house to watch, that Wang Anmin is dead for no apparent reason, don't let the Wang's family hurt you because of my family affairs." Lost lives."

The Chengde emperor is still a relatively benevolent emperor, otherwise when Li Xin went to Beijing to write about the charcoal seller, he would have been dead and there would be no scum left.

Chen Ju bowed his head respectfully: "The old slave will do it now."

Chen Ju helped the emperor to sit back on the dragon couch, then bowed out of the warm hall and went down to arrange things.

After Chen Ju withdrew, the Son of Heaven looked up at Li Xin, and asked weakly, "Li Xin, I have a question for you, and you answer it truthfully."

Li Xin bent over.

"The minister knows everything."

"Which of the four princes I have left in the capital is suitable to be the emperor?"

Emperor Chengde once asked Li Shen this question, but Li Shen was trembling and dared not answer.

Li Xin lowered his head and thought for a moment, then lowered his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think that among the four princes, His Royal Highness King Wei is most like His Majesty in his benevolence."

Li Xin is very smart, he didn't directly say who is suitable to be the emperor.

"You are also a slippery man."

The emperor chuckled: "That's all, you go down."

Li Xin bowed out of Changle Palace.

Chengde Emperor sat alone in the warm hall, looking at Li Xin's distant figure, muttering to himself.

"You are more daring than Li Shen..."

Chapter 283 The lovely prince

After Li Xin left, Emperor Chengde, who lived in a secluded palace, skipped the East Palace and sent a note directly to Shangshutai, giving his "handling advice".

The contents of the note were probably the same official words as Li Xin said.

At this time, when Emperor Chengde spoke, Shang Shutai was naturally eager to see that the content of this note was fully implemented.

The censors who were imprisoned in Dali Temple were released after asking a few simple questions.

And Zhan Shi Tanggu of the East Palace was taken into a big prison, and he was asked to be accused of a murder and to give an explanation to the dead Yushi Wang Anmin.

The struggle between the fourth prince and the prince was quelled as quickly as possible under the will of the emperor and Li Xin's wrist.

The matter was finally determined. Although the East Palace did something wrong, the blame was placed on Zhan Shitang Gu, not on the crown prince.

On Wang Anmin's side, being so frightened by Li Xin, he naturally didn't dare to make trouble again.

However, no matter whether it is the Emperor Chengde or Li Xin, they are considered to be helping the prince in this matter. His Royal Highness Qi Wang who is planning behind the scenes will definitely feel resentful. He dare not hate the emperor Chengde. I will put this account on Li Xin's head.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little annoyed in the East Palace.

After all, from his point of view, it was the fourth prince who provoked him first, and he was forced to fight back. However, in the end, the officials of the East Palace were arrested, and the fourth prince had no loss.

But the Emperor Chengde made a move, and His Royal Highness, who had just supervised the country for a short time, naturally didn't dare to say anything, so he could only grit his teeth and admit the result.

When the prince was sullen in the East Palace, Chen Ju, the gray-haired eunuch, begged to see him outside the East Palace.

Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness, the fat prince, immediately stood up from the chair with difficulty, and ran towards the entrance of the East Palace with his thick calves.

He also knew in his heart that his position as the crown prince had not been stabilized, and the other younger brothers were still staring at him. The people who should not be offended at this time were the people around his father.

And this great eunuch, Chen Ju, is the confidant of Chengde Emperor's confidant.

Although it was already winter, the chubby Crown Prince still sweated a lot from running all the way. He walked up to Chen Ju, clasped his hands at the eunuch and smiled and said, "Why did the Grand Duke come in person?"

Chen Ju stepped aside in a hurry, not daring to accept the courtesy of His Highness the Prince.

"Your Highness, His Majesty wants to see you, and specially ordered this old slave to call you."

His Highness the Crown Prince's heart skipped a beat, but he still managed to maintain a smile on his face.

"For this kind of thing, the Grand Duke just sends someone to come, why bother to go here..."

Chen Ju looked serious: "Your Highness is a half-lord, and this old slave dare not neglect."

His Royal Highness nodded slowly: "Okay, Gu will go to Changle Palace to meet Emperor Father."

Chen Ju bowed his body and left the East Palace.

Not long after, His Royal Highness's sedan chair stopped at the gate of Changle Palace. This kind of open-air sedan chair is unique in the palace. It is mainly carried by a strong eunuch to prevent Tibetans and Tibetan knives. Too fat, the two little eunuchs who carried the sedan chair were sweating profusely and panting for breath.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood at the gate of Changle Palace, looking at the fortified palace, feeling a little uneasy.

He hadn't seen Emperor Chengde in private for a long time.

As the eldest son of the emperor, he did not leave the palace at the age of 16 because he was qualified to live in the East Palace directly without leaving the palace. government.

From then on, the eldest prince Ji Ku became a little disheartened, hid in the Prince Qin's mansion to indulge in sensuality, rarely came out, and even less saw the emperor in private.

He was actually a little afraid of his father.

Fortunately, Emperor Chengde didn't like him very much, and rarely talked to him.

Even when he was crowned prince, the emperor never met him in private, but simply gave him a few words of encouragement.

His Royal Highness took a few deep breaths, and after emboldening himself, he stepped in.

The great eunuch Chen Ju was already waiting at the gate of the palace, bowing and leading the prince to the gate of Nuan Dian.

In the warm hall, there is a pungent medicinal herb smell.

"Your Highness, His Majesty recuperates here."

The prince glanced at Chen Ju, and said slowly: "Grandpa, the smell here is too strong, why don't you open the windows to ventilate?"

Chen Ju bent down and said in a mournful voice, "Your Highness...Your Majesty can no longer see the wind."
