Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

When the emperor heard Su Dequan's words, his eyes became unusually sharp, and his aura was fully open, like a mountain pressing down on him.

Su Dequan felt the pressure like a mountain. He knelt down in front of the emperor and banged his head loudly.

"Your Majesty, I am just worried that the Eighth Prince will accidentally hurt our people without knowing anything."

"Although His Royal Highness Prince Rong is known to be a sickly person, his father, the old Prince Rong, is a brave and skilled veteran with unparalleled wisdom."

"His Royal Highness Prince Rong is very much loved by the old Prince Rong. He may have private soldiers left by the old Prince Rong."

"It just so happens that the Eighth Prince has some capable people under his command. If we let these people test His Royal Highness Prince Rong, he might be able to show his true colors."

Su Dequan knew that the emperor had always loved his nephew, Prince Rong, not only because he was a famous medicine man, but also because he might have private soldiers left by the old Prince Rong.

The emperor wanted to use the method of boiling a frog in warm water to keep Prince Rong firmly under his control. After all, Prince Rong has been taking medicine since he was born, and the emperor had to do a good job on the surface, otherwise the royal family would make trouble.

Su Dequan had been with the emperor for many years and had long known the emperor's attitude towards Prince Rong.

He boldly suggested this to the emperor today just to let the emperor know his loyalty.

"The eighth brother is not as good as the third brother." After hearing Su Dequan's words, the emperor fell into silence. After a long time, he said a word, but in his words he mentioned Prince Duan who had passed away long ago.

When Su Dequan thought of Prince Duan, who was spoiled by the emperor to the point of being lawless, his heart felt like it was soaked in an ice cellar.

Why is Prince Duan so bold and presumptuous? It’s because the emperor indulges him.

He would die because the emperor felt that the situation was stable and wanted to take back his power from the fourth prince.

Princess An Qing guessed the emperor's thoughts and wanted to fish in troubled waters, which resulted in both Prince Duan and the Fourth Prince suffering losses.

Although Princess An Qing did not gain any advantage, the Queen took this opportunity to kill Concubine De, creating a rift between the Eighth Prince and the Emperor.

Now the emperor wants to use the eighth prince. Although he is confident that the eighth prince cares about his old father and is willing to sacrifice his life for him.

But he also knew that no one could replace Concubine De's position in the Eighth Prince's heart. He deliberately asked Su Dequan to convey messages to the Eighth Prince twice and sent people to monitor the Eighth Prince's every move, just to find out the Eighth Prince's final decision.

The emperor was indeed in a bad mood when he learned that the person arranged by Concubine De for the Eighth Prince had her own thoughts, but he could not help but feel a sense of satisfaction with the Eighth Prince.

Because the Eighth Prince, who cannot even be controlled by the people left behind by his mother, will be more useful than Prince Duan, but the Emperor will also have to bear the trouble caused by the Eighth Prince's rampage.

Although Su Dequan was not a worm in the emperor's stomach, he understood some of the emperor's thoughts. He specifically mentioned Prince Rong in order to guess the emperor's intentions and please him.

"The Eighth Prince has been spoiled by Concubine De." Su Dequan lowered his head and thought for a long time. Suddenly, he thought of the crown prince who was born on the same day as the Eighth Prince. In an instant, he understood where the emperor's sigh came from, and he immediately said something in response.

The emperor snorted lightly, but he didn't seem angry.

He put the Buddhist beads aside, picked up a jade pendant and rubbed it in his palm.

The coolness of the jade pendant was like winter snow, which instantly made the emperor's mind clear and his thoughts more agile.

"Prince Rong's matter is not urgent." His expression looked very strange. "Chen Changli can keep him stable. When Old Eight makes a final decision and An Qing tries to stab him in the back, I will be able to find out those heartless and ruthless people."

Su Dequan heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but said with an even more respectful expression: "Although General Chen is a little lazy, he will definitely do his best to complete whatever His Majesty has asked him to do."

Speaking of Chen Changli, Su Dequan thought of Wan Shufang, who had not come to keep vigil for the queen for half a month.

He wanted to mention her in front of the emperor, but the emperor hadn't thought of her for nearly half a month, and the queen had set her sights on her before. Su Dequan had other guesses in his mind, and he immediately suppressed that thought.

"Your Majesty, General Chen's children are also very capable. I heard that Chen Tao has made many contributions under General Zhao's command."

The emperor suddenly grasped the jade pendant in his hand, his eyes full of coldness: "With Zhao Yunhui's guidance, Chen Tao will soon be able to gain experience. By then, in addition to Chen Changli, a general who can lead troops to fight, the general's mansion will also have Chen Tao, a young general who dares to fight and make progress."

Su Dequan noticed that he was in a bad mood and thought he had said something wrong. A layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it off.

The emperor looked up at Su Dequan and saw that he looked unhappy. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Send some people to keep an eye on Chen Changli. If he has any conflicts with Prince Rong, report to me as soon as possible."

Su Dequan quickly responded with a "yes" and went to take care of the matter.

The emperor went over recent events in his mind, making sure nothing was missed before continuing to make some arrangements.

Unknown to most people, the entire city of Luoyang was quietly moving under the influence of the emperor's will.

It was not until the next morning that the silent movement subsided.

The General's Mansion, which was paid special attention by the Emperor and Su Dequan, also fell into a state of dizziness and busyness after daybreak, because Prince Rong spat out blood in front of everyone in the General's Mansion early in the morning.

"Dad, His Royal Highness Prince Rong is so weak!" Chen Xiyun asked several imperial doctors to guard Prince Rong. Then he took out the pills that Wan Shufang had prepared earlier and gave them to several imperial doctors to use after they had identified them. Then he came to Chen Changli and spoke with a worried look.

Before Chen Changli could speak, Chen Chunchan reached out and hugged Chen Xiyun's legs, and said hesitantly: "Sister, he is like this because he took medicine, not because he is weak."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiyun quickly reached out to cover Chen Chunchan's mouth, and looked around vigilantly, fearing that he might see Prince Rong's people.

Seeing her quick reaction and vigilance, Chen Changli was very relieved. He said calmly, "Prince Rong's men are all in the room watching over him. There won't be any ears behind the walls."

Hearing this, Chen Xiyun let out a long sigh, then squatted down to look Chen Chunchan in the eye, and asked gently, "Why do you say that?"

Chen Chunchan reached out and touched her nose, then said, "I smelled a faint medicinal smell on him. Although I couldn't tell what medicinal herbs were mixed in that smell, I could tell one medicine was the Tianqian grass that can make people vomit."

"Mother once told me that if Tian Qiancao is used properly, it can make people pretend to be sick, so I suspect that Prince Rong is pretending to vomit blood."

Chen Xiyun was full of surprise: "Chunchan, your nose is so sharp! It seems that among our brothers and sisters, you are the only one who inherited mother's medical talent."

"This is a good thing." Upon hearing that Chen Chunchan was gifted in medicine, Chen Changli was honored. "But regarding Prince Rong's matter, even if you guess there is a problem, you must not show it on your face. You must worry about him like I do. Remember?"
