In the Jinluan Palace.
The second prince stood quietly behind the prince, expressionless.
As an unpopular prince with an awkward status, he was always so silent in court that he seemed like a transparent person.
But today, he, who had always lowered his eyebrows, quietly cast his gaze into the corner several times.
There stood several young eunuchs waiting for summons and envoys at any time.
The second prince is waiting.
If Sheng Qishan is not stupid, it’s time to find him...
As soon as the second prince thought of this, a thin little eunuch carefully walked into the group of eunuchs from the side door, raised his hand and quietly made a gesture in front of his chest.
When the second prince saw this, his eyes lit up slightly.
finally come!
He took a rare step forward and spoke before Emperor Yong agreed to the prince's promise:
"Father, let me go."
"My eldest brother has a distinguished status, so it would be inappropriate to go to welcome Yi Yizi. If I don't let my sons go, it will not only show the importance my father attaches to going to the public to voice injustices, but it will not damage my eldest brother's majesty."
As soon as the second prince said this, all the courtiers looked at him sideways.
You must know that in this court, they have never seen the second prince take the initiative to speak.
The few times he made suggestions in the past were all given by the Holy One himself.
The prince's expression moved slightly when he heard this, but he did not say a word and waited quietly for Emperor Yong's decision.
A hidden light flashed in Emperor Yong's eyes, and he thought he understood his second son fairly well.
If he didn't ask for something, he would never speak rashly.
So, what hidden secrets are behind the Zhuozhou Juren who beat the Dengwen drum?
"What I said makes sense. If that's the case, then it's up to you to bring that person in."
Emperor Yong still agreed to the second prince's request. He wanted to see what the second prince wanted to do.
The second prince looked calm and said, "My son, I accept your order."
When the prince heard this, he slowly bent his fingers under the loose court clothes, and his fingertips turned slightly white.
When Qiao Zhongguo saw this scene, he suddenly frowned.
If the second prince were to overturn the situation for Duke Qing today, then all the planning of the Qiao family during this period would be in vain!
Things will go back to Jiaojiao's original prophecy. The second prince takes care of the Duke of Qing and the Minister of Rites, and with the help of the Gu family in Qingzhou, he becomes more and more prosperous...
"Your Majesty, I am bold and want to go with the second prince to clarify my past relationship for Your Majesty!"
Qiao Zhongguo stood up before the second prince turned around and left.
Anyway, his reputation in the court is not good. How long will it take him not to go crazy now?
When the second prince heard this, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
What did Qiao Zhongguo do when he stood up?
He originally planned to let Tan Hanchi die silently on the way to the Jinluan Palace. After all, he was just a scholar and had just endured thirty battles. It was normal for him not to be able to survive.
The worst case scenario would be to let Emperor Yong scold him a few words. Anyway, he was an unpopular prince, so reprimanding him would be painless.
In this way, Sheng Qishan can be easily used by him!
But now Qiao Zhongguo appears on the way. He is very skilled in martial arts and very careful, so it will be difficult to attack him...
"Master Qiao, it's just a move, why bother you to take action? I--"
The second prince was about to say something to send Qiao Zhongguo away, but Qiao Zhongguo had already shed tears of gratitude and said quickly in front of the courtiers:
"Your Highness is so generous, I am ashamed!!!"
Civil and military officials: "..."
What else is this Mr. Qiao trying to do?
Qiao Zhongguo bowed to face the second prince, and said with full emotion and eloquently:
"I have left many old problems on the battlefield in the past. Now that I am getting older, I am always worried and worried that I will not be able to contribute to the cause of the Holy One, so I strive to be the first in everything."
"I'm beating a drum to complain. This matter must be of great importance. I want to ask about the past situation first, so as not to be caught off guard later."
"Your Highness, are you willing to make all my ministers willing to serve the Holy One?"
Civil and military officials: "..."
Pack! We'll just watch you pretend!
Still getting older? Is there anyone in the hall who can compare to his tendons?
Didn’t you just give birth to a daughter some time ago? It made their old wives go crazy with jealousy!
In those days, my family was eating velvet antlers and wolfberry in different ways, which almost made them vomit!
Look at his diligent and conspicuous look, ugh!
When the second prince heard this, his expression was expressionless, but secretly he clenched his fists.
He knew that Qiao Zhongguo was the most difficult to deal with!
Seeing Qiao Zhongguo's persistence, Emperor Yong waved his hand indifferently.
Qiao Zhongguo was an upright and generous person, and there was no doubt about his loyalty to the emperor and the country.
"Then Qiao Aiqing, let's go together."
Qiao Zhongguo grinned when he heard this, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Second Prince, please——"
The second prince looked calm and walked out of the Jinluan Palace with Qiao Zhongguo one behind the other. Xin Ruizhi, the Minister of Rites, stood in the palace, his back already soaked with sweat.
After leaving the Xuanwu Gate, a person immediately walked out and greeted the second prince.
"Your Highness, you finally——"
"A Sheng, this is Mr. Qiao whom you respect and admire."
The second prince winked and gave way to Qiao Zhongguo, who was following suit behind him.
Qiao Zhongguo raised his eyes and saw that this man was slightly stooped, but his eyes were bright, his temples were slightly convex, and his steps were steady. At first glance, he was a practicing master!
A Sheng...
This must be the Li Xusheng that Madam is talking about.
Haha, another enemy has come out to make their Qiao family full!
"Common people see Master Qiao!"
Li Xusheng was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect Qiao Zhongguo to follow him.
Fortunately, he was slow to speak and did not tell the news that Duke Qing was waiting outside the palace!
"Where is that Juren now?"
Li Xusheng hurriedly bowed and replied: "Go back to Your Highness and wait for the summons in Dengwen Drum Courtyard."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo smiled and said: "Your Highness, let's go and have a look. The move has just been punished for thirty times. I'm afraid we can't delay it."
Qiao Zhongguo didn't know yet that Tan Hanchi had been saved by his powerful baby bump. At this time, he was still afraid that something might happen to Tan Hanchi.
The second prince nodded and walked out of the palace.
"Look, it's General Qiao!"
After Qiao Zhongguo and the second prince walked out of the palace, they immediately caused a sensation.
Everyone may not know the second prince, but there are many people who recognize Qiao Zhongguo!
【Ah ah ah! It's dad! Dad came to pick up Tan Hanchi in person! Woohoo, it’s so reliable! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao was overjoyed!
When she saw the second prince for the first time, her heart froze. She didn't expect that her father was following behind!
In the crowd, when Sheng Mingcheng saw the second prince, he was ecstatic and secretly called his grandfather brilliant.
As a result, when Sheng Mingcheng saw Qiao Zhongguo next time, all his bones were shaken with fear!
Qiao Zhongguo!
Why did Qiao Zhongguo come with the second prince!
Sheng Mingcheng had no choice but to return to the carriage to find Duke Qing.
As a result, when he opened the curtain, he saw his grandfather, who had always been vigorous and resolute, leaning against the car wall, his eyes closed and his face gloomy.
"Grandpa...Grandpa!"
Sheng Mingcheng was extremely scared and called out uneasily.
Duke Qingguo slowly opened his eyes. The moment he saw Sheng Mingcheng, even though this was his direct grandson, his eyes showed deep hatred.
"It's over, the Duke of Qing's Palace is over."
Duke Qingguo spoke in a hoarse voice, but the hands on his knees were trembling uncontrollably.
When Sheng Mingcheng heard this, he climbed onto the carriage and cried, "Grandpa, don't say that. The second prince is here, we still have a chance."
Duke Qing didn't even bother to kick his hopelessly stupid grandson.
The second prince was originally the last straw for the Duke of Qing, but now, the second prince is useless!
Who would have thought that Qiao Zhong would come out halfway!
With his personality, he would never let Tan Hanchi make any mistakes!
