The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy
Chapter 122 The eldest prince, Xie Qi
A quarter of an hour later, Yingyi appeared in the imperial study again.
Yingyi knelt on one knee on the ground, bowed his head and said: "In reply to your Majesty, everything is just as your Royal Highness said."
There were indeed spies sent by the Emperor of Li hiding in the Prince's Mansion, who were always keeping an eye on what was going on in the Mansion. The original purpose was just to protect His Royal Highness the Prince and prevent him from being plotted against in the Mansion.
Unexpectedly, those secret agents would come in handy this time.
The dispute that took place in the garden of the mansion naturally could not escape the eyes of the spies.
As soon as Yingyi went over and asked just one question, the spy told him the whole story.
"General Weiwu is indeed acting arrogantly in the Crown Prince's Mansion and challenging the Crown Prince's status..."
The Emperor of Li was not surprised to hear such an answer. The prince has always been an upright person and never bothered to lie. The reason why he asked Yingyi to make this trip was just to give "justice" to the mighty general.
The Emperor of Li said in a deep voice: "Now that the matter has been clarified, do you have anything else to say, my dear minister?"
As he spoke, the Emperor of Li stared at the mighty general expressionlessly, his eyes slightly gloomy, which made the latter shiver uncontrollably.
It was obvious that the emperor was angry.
General Weiwu has been in the court for many years and has some understanding of the emperor's temper. The calmer the emperor appears, the angrier he becomes.
The mighty general was suddenly a little flustered.
However, he quickly calmed himself down.
In the eyes of the mighty general, he had only made a small mistake today. Based on his accumulated merits over the years, the emperor would certainly not really punish him.
If he had known that the emperor would send Ying Yi to investigate the matter thoroughly, he would not have said those words.
It was indeed a momentary mistake, which angered the emperor.
The mighty general lowered his head, suppressed his anger, and simply admitted his guilt: "I am guilty, and I have nothing to say."
After these words were spoken, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but secretly glance at Xie Xi, her bright almond eyes filled with joy.
[I never thought that General Weiwu would really plead guilty! I wonder how His Majesty will punish him? ]
[Thinking carefully, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to have a spy sent by the emperor in the prince's mansion? ]
[However, even if His Highness knew about this, he would surely pretend not to know, right? ]
Xie Xi already knew about the people his father had arranged in the palace.
He knew that his father would not harm him, so he did not drive those spies out of the house.
The Emperor of Li was extremely curious, but he still held it in and dealt with the matter at hand first.
"How does the prince think this matter should be handled?"
The Emperor of Li handed the final decision-making power to the Crown Prince. He believed that the Crown Prince would definitely say what he wanted to hear.
The prince will not let him down.
When the mighty general heard this, his face suddenly darkened.
Xie Xi had no time to care about General Weiwu's expression. He was calm and said calmly, "Father, General Weiwu didn't take me seriously today. He even disrespected me as the crown prince..."
After a pause, Xie Xi suddenly turned his head and glanced at General Weiwu, and said with a smile: "Perhaps, General Weiwu is relying on the military power in his hands, so he despises me like this? Father, in my opinion, why not let General Weiwu hand over the military power?"
"In this way, General Weiwu can stay in the general's mansion to cultivate his character and change his arrogant temper. I wonder what your Majesty thinks of this son's idea?"
Now, the mighty general's face turned completely dark.
He never expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was actually coveting the military power in his hands!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really cruel!
Now that things have come to this, once the emperor opens his mouth, he will have no choice but to hand over his military power even if he doesn't want to!
If he really handed over his military power, he would have no one to rely on in the future!
The mighty general was completely panicked.
He swallowed, and when he looked up at His Majesty, there was a hint of hope in his eyes that he himself had not noticed.
He didn't want to give up his military power.
However, the next moment, General Weiwu saw His Majesty nodding thoughtfully, "I think what the Crown Prince said is right. My dear minister, if you make a mistake, then you should hand over your military power."
Before he finished speaking, General Weiwu almost couldn't even stand. He said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, no! As a military general, how can I not have military power in my hands?"
At this moment, General Weiwu couldn't help but feel confused. He was obviously just following the orders of the Fourth Prince, so why did things turn out like this? He had to hand over his military power in order to resolve the matter! ?
"But I am deeply disappointed by your actions."
The Emperor of Li sighed and said with great sorrow: "I trust you, my dear, so I will hand over the military power to you!"
"But I never expected that you, my dear minister, would disregard the Crown Prince's dignity and punish the maidservant privately in the Crown Prince's mansion. You even attacked the Crown Prince's Fengyi, almost committing a serious crime. How can I trust you again?"
"My dear minister, please don't forget that the Crown Prince will be the next Emperor of Li. The relationship between the ruler and his subjects should not be disrupted!"
"My dear, do you understand what I mean?"
Hearing the threatening tone of the emperor, the mighty general's originally upright body bent down in an instant. His face was stiff, and he suppressed all the anger and unwillingness in his heart.
He took a deep breath, concealed the anger in his eyes, and said reluctantly: "Your Majesty, I obey your order."
The mighty general took off the sachet from his waist, took out the tiger talisman from it, and held it tightly in his hand.
Eunuch You walked up to the side of the mighty general and whispered, "General, please give the tiger talisman to this old servant."
The mighty general gritted his teeth and handed over the tiger talisman reluctantly.
Eunuch You took it and placed it on the table.
The Emperor of Li State lowered his head and glanced, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. Well, the prince did a good job in this matter.
"My Lord, since you have already handed over the tiger talisman, you are not allowed to mention today's incident again."
Xie Xi said respectfully: "I understand."
Three people entered the palace, and only General Weiwu was injured.
A general without military power is nothing but an empty shell.
This time, the mighty general completely hated the Crown Prince and Lu Fengyi.
If the two of them hadn't insisted on making this matter a point, he wouldn't have been punished!
Sensing the vicious gaze of the mighty general, Xie Xi looked back calmly and said slowly, "If the general has no other important matters, then the general can leave the palace first. I have other matters to discuss with my father."
The Emperor of Li nodded in agreement, not giving General Weiwu a chance to speak: "My dear minister, please leave first."
General Weiwu replied with a gloomy face: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away.
Now that he has fallen out with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the only one he can rely on is the Fourth Prince.
He wants to leave the palace and find the Fourth Prince to join forces to kill His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
……
After he could no longer see the mighty general's back, the Emperor of Li Kingdom withdrew his gaze and said with a smile, "Prince, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
The Emperor of Li was in a very good mood after successfully recovering the tiger talisman, and he was also very kind when treating the crown prince.
Xie Xi looked at Lu Xiaoxiao with a smile in his eyes: "Father, this is Lu Xiaoxiao."
"???"
Lu Xiaoxiao looked surprised.
[Why did Your Highness mention me so formally to His Majesty? ]
The Emperor of Li's eyes flickered, and his meaningful gaze fell on Lu Xiaoxiao, "So you are Lu Xiaoxiao."
[Hmm? Your Highness, have you mentioned me to His Majesty before? ]
【Why? 】
Lu Xiaoxiao was a little confused.
I wonder what Your Highness said to His Majesty?
Her thoughts were confused for a moment, but Lu Xiaoxiao calmed herself down and responded quickly: "Your Majesty, I am Lu Xiaoxiao."
Seeing the woman acting so gracefully at this moment, the Emperor of Li nodded with satisfaction: "I heard that the prince went to Jiangnan to look for evidence this time, and it was thanks to your assistance that he was able to find the evidence in time."
Last night, the prince brought the officials from Jiangnan into the palace and told the emperor about their trip to Jiangnan. Listening to the prince's words, every word was full of praise for Lu Xiaoxiao, and he even asked for mercy for her.
The Emperor of Li couldn't help but feel curious. He had originally thought of sending someone to the Prince's Mansion to summon Lu Xiaoxiao to the palace after he had dealt with the affairs in Jiangnan.
Unexpectedly, just one night later, the prince brought people into the palace and helped him to successfully retrieve the military token...
This Lu Xiaoxiao is exactly what the prince said, it is indeed very good.
"I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Since you have made a contribution this time, I should reward you. I wonder what you want?"
The Emperor of Li made his promise: "Whatever I can do, I will do as you wish."
Lu Xiaoxiao: “……?”
Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned.
She had never expected that His Highness would actually take credit for her in front of His Majesty.
[Come to think of it, I didn't do anything, did I? I just used the system's warnings to dodge a few assassination attempts?]
[It seems that he also helped His Highness find Madam Jiang? Then, Master Huaijun persuaded Madam Jiang to find evidence of the Jiangning Governor's bribery? ]
[Even though I always helped secretly, His Highness probably didn't know, why did he give me half of the credit? ]
Hmm? A few assassinations?
The Emperor of Li's expression changed slightly. Why didn't the prince mention the assassination last night?
What else doesn't he know?
Xie Xi, who had been paying attention to his father's expression, suddenly felt helpless. He had wanted to keep it a secret, but he didn't expect that although he didn't say it, his little thoughts were told to his father.
He didn't expect that after entering the palace, even his father could hear Xiaoxiao's inner thoughts.
Is it because he is his father?
Xie Xi sighed inaudibly, and moved his gaze away from his father and fell on Lu Xiaoxiao's confused face. He scratched her palm with his fingers and said gently, "Xiaoxiao, don't be in a daze anymore. Your father is asking you a question."
Lu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses immediately and knelt on the ground, "I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. I was distracted for a moment."
She lowered her head, feeling a little nervous, fearing that the emperor would blame her.
Emperor Li: "No problem, stand up and answer."
"Yes."
Lu Xiaoxiao stood up and took a deep breath. She looked up at His Majesty with a burning gaze, "Your Majesty, I don't want any reward. I just hope that if Your Majesty makes a big mistake one day, Your Majesty will give Your Majesty a chance to defend himself."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xi was slightly stunned, but his heart softened.
Xie Xi never expected Lu Xiaoxiao to say this.
The Emperor of Li was surprised, with a complicated expression: "Is this your only request?"
Lu Xiaoxiao: "Yes."
[The palace has always been a place full of conspiracies. I cannot stay by your side all the time. If your Highness is accidentally plotted against in the palace, and I cannot help, I can only rely on the emperor's trust in your Highness.]
[No matter what, I hope Your Highness can be safe and sound. ]
The Emperor of Li understood and nodded: "Okay, I promise you."
Lu Xiaoxiao curved her eyes and smiled brilliantly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Okay, Prince, take her to the Queen's place."
The Emperor of Li lowered his head and opened the memorial: "Come to the Imperial Study in a quarter of an hour."
"Yes, Father, I will take my leave."
The matter had been dealt with, and Xie Xi did not want to disturb his father from handling government affairs, so he took Lu Xiaoxiao and left the imperial study.
Mu Qing quickly followed.
……
Feng'an Palace, where the queen lives, is quite far from the imperial study.
Xie Xi held Lu Xiaoxiao's hand, his warm eyes full of tenderness, "Xiaoxiao, why don't you want your father's reward?"
"Ok?"
Lu Xiaoxiao thought about it seriously, "Maybe the reward is not as important as His Highness?"
Without waiting for His Highness's answer, she slowed down her pace again and said solemnly: "If Your Highness can always be well, that will be the best reward for me."
"it is good."
Xie Xi raised his lips slightly and smiled faintly. He raised his hand and gently rubbed her head, "I understand."
"Second brother?"
A hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them. The smile on Xie Xi's face instantly faded. He turned around and looked calmly at the man in a brocade robe standing in front of him.
Big brother, thank you Qi.
Lu Xiaoxiao also turned around, her eyes turned, and she quickly glanced at the eldest prince.
The eldest prince has a rather feminine look, with narrow eyes, and is only somewhat similar to the emperor.
If the eldest prince and the crown prince were to be compared in appearance, Lu Xiaoxiao thought that the crown prince was more handsome!
"So it really is the Second Imperial Brother?"
Xie Qi waved the folding fan in his hand, smiled as if bathed in spring breeze, and strode towards Xie Xi.
Although his second younger brother had become His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he should have called his second younger brother the Crown Prince, but in Xie Qi's heart, he was the only one worthy of the position of Crown Prince, and no one else was.
Therefore, all along, Xie Qi would only call him the second emperor brother, and never called Xie Xi the word "Crown Prince".
"Why did the second brother enter the palace at this time?"
Xie Xi said calmly, "I just came out of the Imperial Study and thought about going to Feng'an Palace to sit down. What can I do for you, my brother?"
[So this is Concubine Shu's son, Xie Qi.]
[He looks like a decent person, but why is he so useless? ]
[No wonder I smelled the stinky rouge on the eldest prince. It turns out he just came out of Yichun Tower! ]
When Lu Xiaoxiao saw the eldest prince for the first time, she was so curious that she couldn't help but use her consciousness to open the system. As a result, she really saw the eldest prince's big melon at a glance.
[Hiss! The eldest prince was really hungry and didn’t care about food. He stayed in Yichun Tower for a whole day and night, and had sex with both men and women! Eight times a night! It was really exciting! I really want to——]
"???"
[Hiss! It hurts! It hurts!]
Lu Xiaoxiao was just immersed in the exciting melon after she turned to it. She wanted to continue turning the pages, but she noticed that her wrist was a little painful.
Lu Xiaoxiao subconsciously raised her eyes and looked at Xie Xi.
She blinked, looking innocent.
Xie Xi frowned, looking helpless and was about to speak.
At this moment, Xie Qi noticed the woman standing next to his second brother. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and his meaningful gaze fell on Lu Xiaoxiao's face. He sneered: "Second brother, who is this girl?"
"Why didn't the second brother tell the emperor brother?"
