The Invincible Sixth Prince

After returning to the imperial city, Yan Li immediately took the Buddha statue to report to Yun Li.

"Three hundred thousand taels of silver?"

After hearing Yan Li talk about the value of the Buddha statue, Yun Li almost swore in front of Yan Li.

This thing is only worth about 60,000 or 70,000 taels of silver at best.

Return three hundred thousand taels of silver?

This bastard, this is not the way he brags.

But fortunately, this bastard didn't write a piece of calligraphy directly, saying that it was the calligraphy of a big shot in Qiuchi, worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Although this thing is not as valuable as the wedding gift I gave him, it is better than nothing.

The key point is that he saw Yun Zheng’s attitude from this gift.

Since Yun Zheng is still willing to send a gift, it means that Yun Zheng will not break up with him for the time being.

Whether it's fighting or threatening.

Yun Zheng should not rebel at the moment and will maintain superficial harmony with the court.

This is undoubtedly good news for him.

Yun Li put the Buddha statue aside and asked Yan Li, "Have you seen the emperor?"

"No...no."

Yan Li answered hesitantly.

"No?"

Yun Li frowned, "Didn't you meet Old Six? How come you didn't meet Father?"

"This..." Yan Li lowered his head and answered carefully: "The emperor is not with the Sixth Prince."

what?

Hearing Yan Li's words, Yun Li's expression suddenly changed.

Father is not with the sixth brother?

After a brief thought, Yun Li asked again: "Is my father not in the palace, or not in Dingbei?"

"It should not be in Dingbei."

Yan Li replied, "When I arrived at the palace, His Majesty the Sixth Prince was not in Dingbei. I stayed in the palace with my men for two days before His Majesty the Sixth Prince and his men returned! His Majesty the Sixth Prince also said that he would tell His Majesty the news of His Majesty's wedding."

Is that so?

Yun Li frowned.

This bastard, Lao Liu, really doesn't take the emperor seriously at all!

His father was on an inspection tour of Shuobei and Northwest Protectorate, but he didn't accompany his father?

Does he really want to anger his father to death?

Ok?

and many more!

As he was thinking, Yun Li's eyelids suddenly twitched.

Didn’t Yan Li meet his father?

Could something have happened to my father?

As this thought came to his mind, Yun Li suddenly became nervous.

Ever since Emperor Wen issued the decree, Yun Li's mentality has been very conflicted.

They hoped that Emperor Wen would die in Shuobei, but also hoped that Emperor Wen would return safely.

Although Emperor Wen made him regent, he was not the emperor after all.

Only if Emperor Wen passed away or never returned could he become an emperor in the true sense.

But at the same time, once he ascends the throne, Yun Zheng will definitely rebel.

This contradiction often gave Yun Li a headache and he woke up from his dreams several times.

However, after thinking about it, Yun Li's mood calmed down a little.

Father should be fine!

No matter how stupid Yun Zheng was, he would not be so stupid as to attack his father in Shuobei or Northwest Protectorate.

Once his father dies there, even if he died of illness, people all over the world will think that he killed his father.

By then, Yun Zheng would be branded as a patricide for all eternity.

Yun Zheng couldn't possibly do such a stupid thing.

Even if Yun Zheng really wanted to kill his father, he would definitely wait until his father left Shuobei!

No, at least we have to make my father leave Fuzhou.

Maybe I think too much.

Yun Zheng might just be expressing his dissatisfaction with his father's inspection of the Northwest Protectorate in this way.

After all, when his father passed through Beilu Pass, Yun Zheng sent a concubine to greet him.

Yun Zheng's dissatisfaction was already written on his face.

After thinking silently for a while, Yun Li put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and asked again: "What's the situation in Shuobei? Is there any chaos?"

"no!"

Yan Li replied: "I went from Mayi to Dingbei, and both cities were in good order, without any chaos!"

Isn't there any chaos at all?

It seems that the battle report that bastard sent earlier must have been false.

The casualties of the Northern Army and the Guiyi Army were definitely not that great.

This bastard knows that the imperial court has given him no more rewards, so no matter how the war damage is reported, it will have no effect on him.

There is no chaos in Shuobei, which is not a good thing for him!

Just when Yun Li was secretly worried, Yan Li spoke carefully again: "The Sixth Prince also asked me to bring a message to the Crown Prince..."

"What?"

Yun Li raised his eyes and asked.

"I dare not say."

Yan Li hung his head, waiting for Yun Li to pardon him.

However, Yun Li did not say the words of pardoning him as he had expected.

"Did he ask you to tell me to give him the money and grain I owe him?"

Yun Li stared at Yan Li coldly.

"Your Highness is wise."

Yan Li quickly flattered him.

wise?

What a wise bullshit!

I have become the one being taken advantage of!

Yun Li cursed inwardly, but did not vent his anger. Instead, he asked, "Besides this, did Lao Liu ask you to tell me something else? Or did you discover anything else along the way?"

"Nothing."

Yan Li looked respectful and just wanted to get the job done quickly.

He was most afraid of Yun Li asking him about the details of the time when he conveyed the imperial edict.

Fortunately, as of now, Yun Li seems to have no intention of asking about this matter.

Yun Li really had no intention of asking about these trivial matters.

He has so many worries right now that he doesn't have the energy to care about such trivial matters.

"Go back!"

Yun Li waved gently.

"The slaves retire."

Yan Li felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly bowed and took his leave.

Yun Li sat there alone, thinking silently for a while, then stood up and walked out.

Not long after, Yun Li arrived at the Duke Jingguo's Mansion.

Upon learning that Yun Li was coming, Xu Shifu hurriedly brought his entire family to the door to greet him.

"Your humble servant respectfully welcomes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

When Yun Li stepped down from the carriage, Xu Shifu quickly knelt down.

Yun Li quickly took two steps forward and supported Xu Shifu, "This is not the court, uncle, there is no need to be polite!"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xu Shifu remained respectful.

But this respect made Yun Li smell something different.

It was obvious that Xu Shifu was still angry about what he had done to those people from the Xu family.

It’s just that Xu Shifu didn’t say it.

There was already a rift between him and Xu Shifu.

"I have been very busy these days and haven't come to visit my uncle for a long time."

Yun Li looked at Xu Shifu's mansion and sighed, "Uncle, come with me to the garden of your mansion!"

"Yes!"

Xu Shifu accepted the order with a humble look.

Yun Li saw it all and said nothing more. He told the guards not to follow him and followed Xu Shifu to the garden of the mansion.

"Uncle is still angry with his nephew?"

As soon as the two of them sat down in the garden, Yun Li asked with a smile.

"Wei Chen dare not."

Xu Shifu pretended to be frightened.

It would be strange if you don’t dare!

Yun Li snorted in his heart, but shook his head and smiled, "Uncle, you are such a smart person, how come you can't figure out such a small thing?"

Xu Shifu lowered his head but said nothing.

Xu Shifu raised his head slightly and said, "Forgive my ignorance, but I don't know what Your Highness the Crown Prince means."

Yun Li looked around and whispered, "This is what my father meant!"

"What does His Majesty mean?"

Xu Shifu was half-believing and half-doubting.

"Correct!"

Yun Li nodded gently. "My father ordered me to supervise the country. He was most afraid that I would not be able to control these important officials and families in the court. If I don't take action, my father will probably take action after he returns from Shuobei! By then, it won't be as simple as sending a few people to other places..."
