Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space
Chapter 975: No Connection
The White Lotus Sect has intended to rebel since its establishment. Xu Qinglu is the leader of the White Lotus Sect. She is a traitor. How could she be related to Prince Rong?
The housekeeper thought so in his heart, and he was very repulsive to Chen Changli. He was unwilling to let him enter the Prince Rong's Mansion to see Prince Rong, so as to avoid bringing bad news to everyone in the Prince Rong's Mansion.
Seeing the change in his expression, Chen Changli knew what he was thinking.
If it weren't for the emperor's order, Chen Changli would not have been willing to come to Prince Rong at this time.
"Please go in and report. As for what Prince Rong is thinking, although I cannot predict it, I know that he is loyal to Your Majesty."
In order to prevent the butler from doing anything bad, Chen Changli could only say something meaningful and let the butler think about it carefully.
When the butler heard his words, his face looked as if it had been splashed with ink, and it looked extremely ugly.
He looked Chen Changli up and down and saw that he looked extremely serious and would not tolerate any retreat. He knew very well that he and Prince Rong had no right to refuse, otherwise the emperor's edict might be delivered by Su Dequan early tomorrow morning.
Suppressing the anger and murderous intent in his heart, the butler said calmly with a gentle tone, "Since General Chen has said so, I can only inform His Highness of the matter first and let His Highness make the decision."
He said this, ignored Chen Changli, turned around and went into the mansion.
Chen Changli, who was left behind, couldn't help but understand the reason why the emperor targeted Prince Rong through his somewhat arrogant attitude.
It seems that as Prince Rong's reputation as a sickly person grows louder, driven by his great ambition, he will privately do some things that are not in keeping with a sickly person.
The emperor was a suspicious man. Once he realized that Prince Rong's behavior was wrong, he naturally became suspicious of him.
If Prince Rong notices anything, he will definitely try to cover himself up, and the Emperor will also take this opportunity to test Prince Rong.
The mutual testing between the uncle and nephew is meant to deepen the other's impression of himself.
However, the emperor was extremely suspicious. Even if he believed on the surface that Prince Rong had no ambitions, he was still a paralyzed person from beginning to end, so he could not let his mind go.
Xu Qinglu's death might be a testing factor, but more importantly, the emperor was suspicious of Prince Rong and did not want to see him sickly again. He had to find another way to expose Prince Rong's true colors.
"I hope Prince Rong is a smart man." Chen Changli pondered the emperor's thoughts in his heart, and felt that the emperor's thoughts were more and more difficult to guess. He had to be fully alert to deal with it, otherwise he would be doomed if he made a mistake.
Prince Rong’s Mansion, study.
After receiving the news from the servant, Prince Rong did not react for a while. When the butler came in, he realized belatedly that the emperor either had a problem with his brain or had doubts about him and deliberately used Xu Qinglu's death to disgust and test him.
"What a good uncle, what a good emperor." Prince Rong sneered in anger.
The butler's voice was filled with nervousness: "Your Highness, the emperor is clearly dissatisfied with you. You must remain calm and not show any abnormality, otherwise the emperor will find a crime to punish you at will."
"What crime is he going to accuse me of? Rebellion? His sons rebelled, but he didn't take it seriously. Why is he going to use the crime of rebellion to harm me?" Prince Rong was so angry that he spoke without thinking.
The butler was startled and quickly looked around to make sure there were no outsiders. While he was relieved, he was also worried that Prince Rong would be upset.
"Your Highness, the emperor is so wary of you. I'm afraid someone said something in front of him, which caused him to doubt you."
"What we need to do now is to dispel his suspicion, and then catch the people who are harmful to you."
The housekeeper advised earnestly, as if he was willing to devote himself to King Rong until his death.
His loyalty calmed the anger in Prince Rong's heart. Prince Rong regained his sanity and began to think about the emperor's intentions.
"I don't even know Xu Qinglu, why did he ask me to send her off? Could it be that Xu Qinglu said something in front of him that made him suspicious of me?"
When Prince Rong thought of this, he hated Xu Qinglu from the bottom of his heart.
If Chen Changli hadn't come to him, he wouldn't have wanted to meet Xu Qinglu at all.
"Forget it. Since this is what the emperor wants, I will go meet Chen Changli and see what he thinks."
Countless thoughts flashed through Prince Rong's mind, but he finally suppressed his disgust for the emperor and went to the main hall to meet Chen Changli.
Seeing that he was determined, the housekeeper immediately sent someone to invite Chen Changli into the main hall.
"Are you Chen Changli?" Although Prince Rong had heard of Chen Changli's reputation a long time ago and had tried to win him over, he failed and even did some things in secret to kill him at the hands of Prince Duan. But tonight was the first time he met Chen Changli after all.
When Prince Rong saw that Chen Changli was an extraordinarily handsome man with a gentle demeanor like jade, and as eye-catching as a gentleman, he was slightly surprised.
He suddenly understood why Mo Lanlan, a woman with high standards, fell in love with Chen Changli. Just based on his handsome appearance and the status of a first-rank general, how could the down-and-out noble lady not be moved?
"My name is Chen Changli, nice to meet His Royal Highness Prince Rong."
Prince Rong's gaze was quite obvious. Although Chen Changli didn't know what he was thinking, he could feel that the look he cast at him was just curiosity, not malice.
Chen Changli felt slightly relieved and deliberately looked up at Prince Rong.
Seeing that Prince Rong's face was abnormally pale, as if all the blood color had faded away, Chen Changli knew that he was very concerned about maintaining his image as a sickly person.
"I already know what your majesty means, but I have a question that I hope you can answer."
When Prince Rong saw that Chen Changli was being respectful to him, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Then he deliberately put his hand to his lips and coughed violently a few times.
His coughing was like he was going to cough out his lungs. Not only did his face look extremely pale, but he even coughed out some bright red blood.
Seeing this, Chen Changli realized that Prince Rong was acting. He quickly showed a concerned look and asked worriedly, "Is the prince feeling unwell? Where is the imperial physician? Didn't the Imperial Hospital send an imperial physician to watch over the prince all the time?"
"These are all old illnesses of mine. I just need to take some medicine. How can I ask the imperial doctors to stay with me all the time?" Prince Rong coughed up some blood again and said weakly.
The butler glanced at Chen Changli and saw that his worry was very sincere and intense, so he deliberately added fuel to the fire.
"Since autumn began, the prince's illness has recurred. Although the doctors are skilled, they are unable to cure the prince."
"General Chen, Xu Qinglu is a traitor and has nothing to do with my prince. Why would Your Majesty have such thoughts? Is there a misunderstanding?"
Prince Rong was satisfied with the housekeeper's words, but he had to put on a show of respect, "Housekeeper, His Majesty must have his own intentions for doing this, you must not presume to guess His Majesty's thoughts."
The butler's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was choked with sobs: "Your Highness, I am worried about you. You are so weak, how can you get up and go to the general's mansion."
