"My lord, don't you think I should retreat in order to advance now that I know that my father hates me?" Yun Chen said expressionlessly.
If Yunwu were here, he would know that the Second Emperor Brother was deceiving people.
Cao Guoshi frowned and said disapprovingly, "The emperor didn't show much preference for His Highness before, but now he just
"Besides, there is one thing you don't know."
"What's the matter?" Cao Guoshi's heart skipped a beat, and he intuitively felt that this was the most important thing.
"Sir, was the mother and concubine really executed just because of her witchcraft and cuckolding of her father?"
"What do you mean?" Cao Guoshi stared at him, feeling uneasy.
Yun Chen looked back, his eyes extremely calm, "Sir, I know you are my uncle, but there are differences between kings and ministers. Shouldn't you tell me what you did?"
Cao Guoshi saw Yun Chen for the first time and wanted to ask for details.
He never cared about these things before.
He is naturally ambitious.
The prince doesn't care.
The more he takes care of things, the more power he can get, which is much greater than that of a prince.
"Your Highness, you..."
"My lord, do you think I've changed? That's not because I was forced by you. If my mother-in-law and uncle hadn't been messing around, how could you have made my situation so difficult?"
"Since you can't do it, then you will listen to His Highness from now on." Seeing Cao Guoshi's obvious displeasure, Yun Chen felt a little unhappy.
so.
Cao Guoshi is this uncle.
Do you just want him to be a puppet?
Yun Chen squinted his eyes and his expression changed.
Cao Guoshi is a smart man.
At this moment, he automatically understood that Yun Chen had independent thoughts because he was implicated by Concubine Xian.
"Your Highness, you have grown up." Cao Guoshi sighed.
"It is true that your mother-in-law did something wrong, but your mother-in-law's movements were very careful. How could the emperor find out?"
Cao Guoshi tried.
"It's not like Father just discovered it."
"Isn't it the eighteenth princess's credit?"
Cao Guoshi's voice overlapped with Yun Chen's.
The two looked at each other.
Yun Chen asked, "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with the eighteenth princess?"
"Your Highness, didn't you notice?" Cao Guoshi felt something was wrong and asked, "Although the Emperor's discovery of Concubine Xian didn't seem to have anything to do with the Eighteenth Princess."
"But my informant said that this matter has something to do with the eighteenth princess."
"What's more..." Cao Guoshi's expression was a little serious, "It is definitely not an easy thing for the eighteenth princess to be selected as a lucky star by the national master and to pray for grain."
"At least, it proves from the side that the eighteenth princess is very important in the emperor's heart, or he wants to use the name of the eighteenth princess to influence and control the court." Cao Guoshi's suspicion was very reasonable.
Unfortunately, no one told him what was special about Yunwu.
He couldn't guess it.
I don’t even think that the grain seeds were really brought out by Yunwu.
At that time in Fengtian Temple, he was far away and could not see clearly.
but.
The ability of the national master is nothing to blind me.
Yun Chen, "..."
After listening to Cao Guoshi's rigorous guess.
He thought that if he had not personally come into contact with the Eighteenth Sister, he would not have believed that the Eighteenth Sister could be so powerful.
"I haven't found any other traces for the time being, but my father does favor Sister Shiba very much." Yun Chen said half truthfully.
When Cao Guoshi heard this, he nodded in agreement.
"Then, Your Highness, you can ask more. After all, you have the easiest contact with the Eighteenth Princess."
"I understand." Yun Chen didn't refuse. He was going to have contact with the Eighteenth Sister. He couldn't hide it, so he might as well tell Cao Guoshi.
"So, Your Highness, you came to the temple to be tonsured to calm the Emperor down, or to make progress by retreating?"
Cao Guoshi returned to the original problem that brought him here.
Without waiting for Yun Chen to answer, he said to himself, "Your Highness, this is not a bad idea, but you have to think about how to come back in the future."
"However, Your Highness, you don't have to worry. As long as the official in the court is here, I will definitely be able to help His Highness go back again."
"Your Highness doesn't know how to burn ring scars, does he?"
Cao Guoshi asked worriedly.
Yun Chen did not answer the question, but said, "Uncle, I will trouble you to deal with the government from now on."
Cao Guoshi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this title.
Then Yun Chen said, "Uncle, you drugged my father, right?"
"What kind of medicine was given? How long can father last?"
Cao Guoshi looked at him sharply.
Yun Chen still held up his Chuchen face, and his pair of dark eyes seemed to hide countless secrets.
Cao Guoshi stared at him for a long time, then suddenly laughed, "Your Highness, you are somewhat beyond my expectation."
"However, it's fine now. When you grow up, I won't worry. You won't be able to defeat the First Prince and the others."
"That's right."
"It's just that the medicine was stopped after your mother and concubine's accident." Cao Guoshi was a little regretful.
Yun Chen stared at him and said, "Father may know."
“That’s why I insisted on getting tonsured.”
Cao Guoshi's face turned ugly and he said to himself, "No wonder, I said that if it was just Concubine Xian's cuckolding, how could it make the emperor's disgust towards me even more obvious."
"So, uncle, for now I can only stay in the temple."
"You can come to the temple quietly to see me from now on."
"Before that, I have something to ask my uncle to do."
Cao Guoshi heard that it was a serious matter and said seriously.
"What's up?"
"I found out that my father has recently joined forces with Xiao Chief Fu to prepare an official report. I have already convinced many people. Judging from my father's attitude, I am afraid that I don't want to ask for more information from the courtiers. "
"This official report, my father is afraid, is imperative."
"If it were before, I don't think my father would act willfully."
"But it's different now. If my father really knew that he was poisoned, and Doctor Lin is here, it might have been confirmed, otherwise he wouldn't use this news to test me."
"In this case, my father may become even crazier than before."
Cao Guoshi's heart skipped a beat after hearing Yun Chen's words.
"You didn't mention it before, but I didn't notice that the emperor would go crazy because of the poisoning problem."
"What's going on with this official report? I'll go back and find out the news first."
Yun Chen glanced at him and said, "Uncle, our father must be keeping an eye on us now. Arranging the third child out will also affect our judgment."
"After all, there are quite a few princes left in the palace."
"Shoufu Xiao is here again."
Cao Guoshi's face darkened when he heard Xiao Shoufu's name.
"Xiao Guiqing doesn't know what happened. She was going to resign, but now she has become radical again."
"I didn't understand before that why he has been contacting officials so frequently recently. It turns out that he is trying to return to officialdom and continue to work for Emperor Yunwu."
Cao Guoshi was a little unhappy, "If things were going very smoothly, now it's time to change the dynasty."
"Pity."
Yun Chen's heart skipped a beat.
He heard regret in Cao Guoshi's words.
Hidden in this regret is the fact that Cao Guoshi really did something detrimental to his father in private.
