The little fox does not want to hide the cub

"So, is it true that he has gone mad again?" Emperor Chongxuan asked leisurely in Qianqing Palace.

Standing in the hall, Jiang Shen responded, "That's what the imperial physician said."

It has been three days since Prince Su fell ill in Chunjiang Tower. In these three days, Prince Su has not stepped out of the palace.Jiang Shen sent someone to visit the mansion, but the other party only said that the lord was ill, bedridden and unable to see guests.

Until today, I went to see the imperial doctor again and got a definite reply.

"Just came back and went crazy again..." Emperor Chongxuan leaned on the bed, turned his head to look at Jiang Shen, "What do you think he is singing?"

"I don't know." Jiang Shen paused, and then said, "But the minister was present on the day Prince Su fell ill, so it doesn't look like a fake."

"It's not like fake..." Emperor Chongxuan murmured.

Jiang Chengzhou's madness really didn't look fake, otherwise Emperor Chongxuan wouldn't have tried everything to no avail and had to let him leave the capital in the end.

But now, because of Lin Jianxue's intervention, Jiang Shen was even more certain that Jiang Chengzhou was indeed crazy.

At least Chunjianglou really fell ill that day.

"Tell people to keep an eye on it." After a while, Emperor Chongxuan said slowly, "If there is any change in Prince Su's mansion, he will be killed without mercy."

Jiang Shen was taken aback.

He never thought that Emperor Chongxuan's attitude would be so decisive.

Jiang Shen was almost certain to poison the villages outside the capital, and it was undoubtedly Jiang Chengzhou who tried to disturb the situation in the capital.Even last year's epidemic was mostly related to him.But all of this was based on Lin Jianxue's intervention. This series of events involved too much to be used as evidence to convict Jiang Chengzhou.

Therefore, he did not dare to tell Emperor Chongxuan about the matter.

Before the evidence is clear, as a prince, he will only make himself tongue-tied if he falsely testifies against a prince.

But Emperor Chongxuan seems to be...

"Why, do you think I'm too cruel?" Seeing that Jiang Shen hadn't answered for a long time, Emperor Chongxuan asked him.

Jiang Shen: "I dare not."

"I know you're also suspicious of Jiang Chengzhou, but you don't have evidence, so you dare not say it, right?" Emperor Chongxuan chuckled, "He's going back to the capital at this time, no matter whether you can get clues from him or not, he won't be able to wash it away." Clear the suspicion, not to mention..."

"Remember Li Hongzhong?"

The head priest of the Ministry of Rites tried to set fire to the ancestral temple when the prince worshiped the ancestors, but was captured on the spot.

Li Hongzhong was beaten to death and refused to reveal who was behind the scenes. He had already been executed by the Holy Majesty a few months ago.

"This month, I've been thinking about who is behind Li Hongzhong." Emperor Chongxuan said, "The ancestral temple was set ablaze to damage your reputation, and you think you're the third one, and you almost implicate the Ministry of Industry, which is inseparable from the fourth one. Using the lives of Li Hongzhong's family, letting the three of you fall into this muddy water is really a wonderful move. No, it should be four, and you probably doubted the fifth child, right?"

Jiang Shen lowered his eyes without hiding anything: "Yes."

After he confirmed that the Ministry of Industry had nothing to do with this matter, he shifted his suspicions to the Fifth Prince, or the concubine Xian and Xiangguo behind him.

However, since no evidence could be found, and the fifth prince's lineage had not made any moves during this period of time, the investigation was not continued.

"But what if he is not the fifth child?" Emperor Chongxuan said, "Li Hongzhong is an old minister. Before I succeeded to the throne, he had contact with Jiang Chengzhou. However, that was more than ten years ago."

In these years, I have never heard of any contact between Li Hongzhong and Prince Su, but if Prince Su really intends to do something in the capital, it is not impossible to contact one or two old ministries.

Jiang Shen lowered his eyes: "Father means that the one who ordered Li Hongzhong was also Prince Su? But now there is no proof, even if it is really him..."

"There is no proof of death?" Emperor Chongxuan interrupted him softly, "I want to touch someone, do I still need to find evidence?"

His voice was very peaceful, but there was a danger that was not difficult to detect.

Indeed, this is also the difference between Emperor Chongxuan and Jiang Shen.

The crown prince still has an emperor on his head, and he has to consider the elders of the royal family, so he is inevitably restricted in his actions.

Emperor Chongxuan is different.

Today, the Holy One represents absolute rules and truths, and the Holy One never needs evidence if he wants to move anyone.

Just like the previous Qi family.

A ripple flashed in Jiang Shen's lowered eyes.

This is the supreme imperial power.

"Don't worry, these will be yours sooner or later." Emperor Chongxuan smiled lightly again, and said, "But before that, I have to remove all these obstacles for you, so that you don't always complain that I don't care about you, and I haven't done enough. It's the responsibility of a father."

"I'm not in a hurry to move Jiang Chengzhou, I just want to see what other tricks he can play. If he dares to return to Beijing at this time, I have no intention of letting him leave with his whole body." Emperor Chongxuan said leisurely, "Since he stepped on The moment he enters the capital, he is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. No matter what he wants to do, what to do, or nothing to do, it will not change."

The servant sent Jiang Shen away, Emperor Chongxuan said that he was tired, and waved away all the eunuchs serving on the left and right.

The Qianqing Palace fell into silence, and Emperor Chongxuan lay alone on the couch. After a while, he suddenly whispered: "If I really kill him, you won't turn against me, will you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was placed on the three-fold screen in front of the dragon couch, and suddenly an exquisite and slender figure was reflected.

The figure didn't speak, a breeze blew through the room, and there was an extra medicine bottle on the small table beside Emperor Chongxuan's bed.

Emperor Chongxuan glanced sideways, and said with a smile: "It seems that it won't happen."

Emperor Chongxuan said again: "Or, I can also turn him into a useless person and let you lock him by your side forever and let you torture him."

"...Don't be disgusting."

The man's clear voice resounded in the room, and another breeze blew by. Emperor Chongxuan turned his head to look.

There is no longer any other figure on the screen.

Emperor Chongxuan smiled and closed his eyes.

On the other side, Jiang Shen came out of Qianqing Palace, and saw the imperial chariot waiting outside at a glance.

And the bright red figure waiting beside the imperial chariot.

The boy seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and was kicking a stone at his feet back and forth in boredom.Recently, the bulge of his abdomen has grown a bit, which has affected him to look at the ground a bit, so he can only hold his stomach with both hands, bend down slightly, and wrestle with the small stone staggeringly.

From the young man's words and deeds, it is impossible to tell that he is a big monster who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years. He can play with such a small thing for a long time, so how can he look like a big monster.

Jiang Shen secretly smiled inwardly, and was about to walk over, but outside Qianqing Palace, the palace people coming and going were all looking at the young man vaguely.

Looking at it, he also showed a smile similar to that on Jiang Shen's face.

Jiang Shen: "..."

When the little fox first entered the palace, Jiang Shen was worried that he might be bullied by the palace people when he just arrived.But it was later discovered that these worries were completely unnecessary.

It's too late for those people to like him.

The little fox is kind to others, Jiang Shen doesn't often keep him behind the palace lately, there are always maids and eunuchs who use excuses to go to the east palace.Or when he took the little fox to the imperial garden, he found a reason to come and serve him.

Naturally, it was all to see more of his little fox.

The most outrageous thing was that Jiang Shen even heard some court ladies whispering that Mr. Li was so cute that he was full of maternal love and wanted to be his mother.

It's really not big or small.

If you want to be his mother, where do you put him, His Royal Highness?

The more Jiang Shen thought about it, the more unhappy he felt, and strode forward.Before he approached, Li Ruan seemed to have noticed something, raised his head, and after seeing Jiang Shen, his eyes brightened visible to the naked eye.

He trotted a few steps, and was firmly taken into Jiang Shen's arms.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Shen asked.

"Of course I'm here to look for you." Li Ruan raised his head from his embrace and asked, "What did your majesty say?"

Jiang Shen didn't answer in a hurry, he glanced to the left and right, those palace people who were peeking at Li Ruan with excuses saluted him one after another, turned and left.

Only then did Jiang Shen relay the Holy Majesty's meaning.

"Does he mean to help you solve the problem?" Li Ruan was a little surprised after hearing this, "The Holy One seems to have changed his sex."

Jiang Shen: "How to say?"

Li Ruan cleared his throat, and imitated Emperor Chongxuan's low voice: "If it was before, he would definitely say: The prince pays more attention these days, walks more with Prince Su, and cares about him. If you find any abnormalities, report back immediately .”

"...Why did he suddenly stop dumping the stall to you and let you check it yourself?"

Jiang Shen burst out laughing.

Needless to say, what they learn is quite similar.

But it was true, Jiang Shen also felt that Emperor Chongxuan's performance today seemed to be different from before, and it was inconceivable that he would take the initiative to clear the obstacles for him.

Still, it's a good thing for them.

"At least in this way, we don't have to worry too much anymore." Jiang Shendao, "Since Emperor Chongxuan is already on guard against him, no matter what Jiang Chengzhou's plan is, he won't be able to figure it out in the capital."

Li Ruan asked: "That little tit, do you want it to keep staring at it?"

The little tit was entrusted by Li Ruan to watch Prince Su, because the other party has been bedridden these days, she has been in Prince Su's mansion for several days.When he came to report the news to Li Ruan last night, he complained that Jiang Chengzhou didn't even get out of bed all day, and he was very bored waiting.

Jiang Shen pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's stare at it for a while longer."

After all, it is easier to use a bird as eyeliner than a human.

Li Ruan nodded and said "OK".

He asked again: "Then shall we leave the palace today?"

According to Jiang Shen's original idea, after reporting to Emperor Chongxuan, he would go to Prince Su's mansion to inquire about news.

That's why he asked people to prepare the imperial chariot.

But now...

Since Emperor Chongxuan is willing to handle this matter himself, he has absolutely no reason to find trouble for himself, right?

Jiang Shen lowered his head and looked at Li Ruan, and saw a smile similar to his own from the other's eyes.

They all just want to be lazy and not do business.

"Of course you have to go out of the palace." Jiang Shen smiled and grabbed the young man's shoulders, and helped him walk to the imperial chariot, "It's just going out to play."

"I still want to eat the dim sum that Uncle Huang took us to eat last time. I have been thinking about it for several days."

"Eat, eat, eat."

"There is still a story book stand, go and see if there are any new words books."

"look look look."

"And the milk tea from the Western Regions, can I drink it again today?"

"Still drinking? You've been getting fat lately—"

Li Ruan paused.

He has actually been fattened up by Jiang Shen recently.

Compared to when she was weak and thin when her spiritual power was insufficient, and she couldn't eat in the early stages of pregnancy, Li Ruan has a good appetite recently, eats and sleeps well every day, and even the flesh on her cheeks has increased.

Li Ruan stood where he was, looked up at him innocently: "Do you hate me?"

Jiang Shen: "..."

"I've heard from those girls in the palace that many concubines were favored at first, but because their bodies got out of shape after pregnancy, they are not as good-looking as before. The Holy Majesty has never favored them again." Li Ruan touched his belly and said softly, " My little fox cub is not born yet, how can you hate me?"

Jiang Shen: "..."

Li Ruan is a little fatter now, and his complexion is better than before, actually better looking.

Jiang Shen said this purely to tease him.

He quickly explained: "I didn't mean that, I just said it casually—"

Before the explanation was finished, Li Ruan lowered his head and slightly bent the corners of his lips as if he couldn't help it.

Jiang Shen ground his teeth: "You did it on purpose."

Li Ruan quickly suppressed her smile again, and frowned: "I don't, don't change the subject, do you think I'm fat?"

Jiang Shen: "...No."

Li Ruan's eyes lit up again: "Then can I drink milk tea today?"

"Drink, drink." Jiang Shen had nothing to do with him, "Drink as much as you want, drink as you like."

Li Ruan became happy, turned her head and ran towards the imperial chariot.

Jiang Shen looked at his back, as if extremely helpless, and smiled softly: "It's getting worse and worse."

"...bad fox."
