"How many things does Xu Yi master?"

"What is the fundamental purpose of Prince Jin entering the palace this time?"

Xu Yong kept breathing heavily, hoping to stabilize his mind.

But for some reason, these two questions always pop up in my mind every time I'm about to regain my composure.

"Huh~!"

After a long time.

Xu Yong exhaled a heavy breath, and his chubby cheeks were so gloomy that they seemed to be dripping with water.

suddenly.

Xu Yong strode towards the study door.

"We can't sit still and wait for death! We won't get any news if we stay here." Xu Yong kept murmuring in his heart.

Then he suddenly opened the study door.

The rising sun outside the door was like water splashing, shining on him all at once.

It's a pity that Xu Yong can't feel any warmth deep in his heart at this moment.

As Xu Yong slowly took steps, the gloomy look on his face slowly faded away.

If you look closely, you won't find that the gloomy look on his face has been suppressed by his great perseverance, leaving only a cold look in his eyes.

"Where is the Crown Princess?" Xu Yong stopped a palace maid and asked softly. @*~~

Upon hearing this, the palace maid hurriedly stopped and walked forward and said, "Go back to Your Highness, the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess is having breakfast in the dining room."

"Okay, I understand." Xu Yong responded casually, and then strode towards the dining room.

The little palace maid who was stopped was left looking at Xu Yong's back in confusion.

For some reason, she always felt that there was something different about the prince today.

It doesn't take a while.

Xu Yong went to the dining room.

In the dining room, a beautiful and dignified young woman was taking a sip of lotus seed soup with great grace.

See Xu Yong striding towards the dining room.

A trace of doubt flashed across the woman's face, and then she turned her head and glanced at the person beside her.

At this time, the prince should be in Zhan Shifu or the study.

But soon, the doubts on the woman's face disappeared.

Instead, there was a smile on his face.

Nothing else.

The two have been married for more than a year, and Xu Yong seems to have endless official duties to deal with every day.

Very little time to really spend time with her.

The woman stood up quickly and walked forward with light steps but no slowness at all.

"Aren't you busy with official duties today?" the woman asked with a slight smile and a salute, her eyes full of expectation.

"Taking a break from the busy schedule." Xu Yong suppressed all the emotions in his heart, rubbed the woman's hair, and said with a chuckle: "Since we got married, I have been busy with official duties and have no time to spend time with Qing'er. Even the greetings from my mother and concubine are... Haven’t been there for many days.”

"I finally took a moment to take a break from my busy schedule today, so I should spend some time with Qing'er."

Xu Yong rubbed the hair of the beautiful woman in front of him again and continued: "Suddenly I remembered that Qing'er has not been back to her parents' home for a few days. Lord Taishan even complained about me after the court meeting a few days ago."

"While we have some free time today, after we say hello later, we will go and sit at Mr. Taishan's place."

The words are over.

The woman instantly beamed with joy, nodded her head and agreed, "Everyone is in accordance with my husband."

The words are over.

Suddenly, the beautiful woman seemed to suddenly remember something.

She quickly saluted again and said, "It's all Qing'er's fault. She was so happy to see her husband that she forgot to ask her husband if he had breakfast."

"I've used it." Xu Yong chuckled, looked up at the sky, and then said with a smile: "It's getting late, Qing'er, go get ready."

"Yes, husband." The beautiful woman smiled and saluted again.

Then he walked lightly towards the distance.

Looking at the woman's disappearing back, the gentle smile that always hung on Xu Yong's face disappeared instantly.

Instead, his face was filled with frost.

Unless he had to, he really didn't want to go to the home of the chief minister of the dynasty to visit his relatives at this critical moment.

The car in front is overturned, and the car behind is a lesson.

He knew better than anyone why the former prince aroused Emperor Zhengde's suspicion. .

But, there is no way, we can't be kept in the dark and just sit there and wait for death.

The sooner you know the news, the sooner you can make responses and arrangements.

"This risk is worth taking." Xu Yong murmured in his heart.

Immediately, Xu Yong calmed down and returned to his previous calm and gentle appearance.

I glanced around and saw no one passing by.

Quickly stretch out your right hand hidden in your sleeve.

In a matter of seconds, he took off the wrapping cloth.

Perhaps the wound was not deep, and perhaps the royal golden sore medicine was magical enough.

The wound on the palm of his hand had been tied up at this time.

If you pay more attention, you will not easily notice the abnormality.

It doesn't take a while.

Shangguan Qing'er was dressed in gorgeous but unobtrusive clothes and walked slowly with two boxes of gifts in her hands.

As she approached, Shangguan Qing'er saluted slowly with a smile on her face and said, "I've kept you waiting for a long time."

Xu Yong smiled and then looked at the two gift boxes in Shangguan Qing'er's hands.

He asked softly: "What did Qing'er get?"

"This is a tonic that my mother gave to Qing'er when I went home to visit my relatives some time ago." Shangguan Qing'er raised the gift box in her left hand and said with a smile, "It is said to be a rare tonic brought by my cousin from the Western Regions. I'll pay my respects later. Then, give it to my mother and concubine."

Said.

Shangguan Qing'er raised the gift box in her right hand and smiled again: "These are the ornaments my mother gave to Qing'er when I went to the palace to pay my respects a few days ago. It is said that they are tribute from Dali. My mother gave Qing'er two. Later, when I go home to visit my mother-in-law, I will give one to my mother."

When Xu Yong heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Qing'er is really a clever little ghost."

The words are over.

Xu Yong took two steps forward, held Shangguan Qing'er's hands holding the gift box, and said, "Follow me, I have wronged you."

A blush appeared on Shangguan Qing'er's face, and she murmured in a low voice: "My husband is the prince and the heir apparent. He should serve the country and the people wholeheartedly. If my husband can put national affairs first, it is too late for Qing'er to feel proud in her heart. How can she feel that I feel wronged."

Xu Yong's eyes flashed with tenderness, and he raised his hand to stroke Shangguan Qing'er's hair.

He sighed slightly, and then sighed: "What more can a husband ask for when he has such a wife?"

After getting married for more than a year, Xu Yongfei never took a copper plate from the inner house.

He even often takes money out of the house every three days.

At least half of the annual gifts from the Prince's Mansion were taken away by Xu Yong.

Shangguan Qing'er not only didn't complain at all, but also understood and supported her in every way.

How could Xu Yong not be moved by this?

...

Inside Shuyu Hall.

Xu Yong looked at the two women standing aside with a smile on their face, holding hands and talking as usual.

His eyes are always full of warmth.

After a while.

Xu Yong stood up slowly and looked at Shangguan Qing'er, who always had a gentle smile on his face.

He ordered softly: "Qing'er, please stay here with your mother and concubine for a while. I'll go and pay my respects to my father."

Shangguan Qing'er didn't have time to answer.

Concubine Li waved her hands and said, "Go, go, we two women are talking like normal people here, and it's not convenient for you, a grown man, to be here."

Rough words or not, Xu Yong is here, and there are some topics that Li Guifei really cannot discuss in advance.

"Then after I say hello, I'll come back to pick up Qing'er." Xu Yong smiled, then bowed his hands and slowly backed away.

After walking out of the main entrance of Shuyu Palace.

Xu Yong raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the imperial study room.

A flash of cold light flashed across his eyes, and then disappeared.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind Xu Yong.

Xu Yong's heart tightened and he quickly restrained all his emotions.

He calmly turned around and looked behind him.

"Eunuch Liu?" The person behind him was the most favored eunuch beside Li Guifen.

Hearing this, Eunuch Li quickly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please allow me to accompany Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The words are over.

Xu Yong's heart suddenly tightened again and he thought to himself: "Oh no, how could I have forgotten this matter! The more confused I am, the more mistakes I make.

. "

After quickly regaining his composure, Xu Yong patted his head and said with a smile: "Look at me, I've been so busy these days that I've neglected all the rules."

After finishing speaking, Xu Yong slightly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Liu, for reminding me. If Eunuch Liu hadn't reminded me, I would have broken the rules today."

"I can't do it, I can't do it, His Highness the Prince has broken this servant." Eunuch Liu quickly turned sideways and waved his hands and said, "It was the imperial concubine who asked this servant to come."

Xu Yong smiled, changed the subject and said, "Eunuch Liu, please lead the way. @*~~"

"Yes." Eunuch Liu agreed and quickly walked forward.

Behind him, Xu Yong kept taking deep breaths silently, trying to completely empty his mind.

After a long time.

Xu Yong's eyes suddenly condensed.

Not far away, there was a group of people standing at the entrance of the Avenue Hall.

The first two people were the eunuch Zhan Zhu and the national preceptor Li Shaojun.

These two people were standing outside the door, so it was obvious who was inside the Dao Dao Palace.

Xu Yong followed Eunuch Liu slowly and calmly to the imperial study.

Naturally, this trip was destined not to see Emperor Zhengde.

Fortunately, the purpose of Xu Yong's trip was not to meet Emperor Zhengde.

Mainly to leave a trace for my trip.

"I think my father should be busy with state affairs. Eunuch Liu, you and I can go back." Xu Yong looked at the imperial study room with the door closed and sighed slightly.

When Xu and Yong passed by the Avenue Hall again.

The group of people at the entrance of the Avenue Hall still maintained a respectful standing posture.

And three quarters of an hour has passed since the last time we passed by.

Xu Yong's heart tightened. From these small details, he had already realized that the situation was not good.

In his mind, he kept calculating the evidence that Xu Yi had.

Whenever a hypothesis is established, Xu Yong will think about countermeasures in his mind crazily.

Trouble?

It's definitely troublesome.

But, at this moment, he had no other choice.

It doesn't take a while.

The two arrived at Shuyu Palace again.

Concubine Li raised her head and glanced at her son.

Then the screen retreated to the left and right.

He opened his mouth and said, "Qing'er, please sit down for a while. I have something to say to Yong'er."

I don’t know what was said between the two before.

Shangguan Qing'er's face instantly turned red when she heard this, and she hesitantly agreed.

"Yong'er, come here." Concubine Li stood up slowly, said hello, then turned and walked towards the back hall.

The back hall of Shuyu Hall.

Concubine Li looked at her son and asked in a low voice: "What happened? Why are you so absent-minded?"

"No way." Xu Yong waved his hand and was about to deny it.

Concubine Li's face hardened, and she said, "Can you deceive other people, and how can you deceive me as a mother? You were absent-minded when you were greeting me just now, and after you left, you even forgot all the rules of the harem."

"Yong'er, tell me what happened, so that my mother can help you make some decisions."

Although Concubine Li does not have the name of the master of the harem, she has the actual status of the master of the harem.

The only difference was a piece of imperial edict issued by Emperor Zhengde.

How can a woman who can control the entire harem as a noble concubine be as simple as she is?

Xu Yong was silent.

Unknowingly, Concubine Li's eyes gradually became sharper.

"What? Now that you have grown up, you can't even trust your mother?" Concubine Li asked in a deep voice. Her whole demeanor had undergone earth-shaking changes from this moment on.

Xu Yong sighed and slowly expressed his worries.

After a while.

Concubine Li asked in a deep voice: "Does your uncle know about this?"

"Of course I know." Xu Yong replied.

Mother-in-law and uncle, there is no one he can trust in today's world, and he must trust his mother-in-law who is a general.

Concubine Li was silent for a moment after hearing this.

Then he asked in a deep voice again: "Yong'er, think carefully, have you left any traces to the outside world, such as letters and the like?"

Xu Yong thought for a moment and then replied: "Not really.

From the beginning, he never left any traces such as letters that could endanger himself. "

"That's good." Concubine Li couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said in a deep voice again: "In that case, stay out of the matter and leave everything to your uncle to handle!"

Concubine Li made the final decision and stunned Xu Yongzhen on the spot.

It took quite a while.

Xu Yong came back to his senses and said repeatedly: "How is this possible? If you do this, wouldn't you be depriving yourself of being your right-hand man?"

"It's better to cripple one's left arm than to be crippled!" Concubine Li's face darkened and she said seriously every word.

Xu Yong looked thoughtful.

Concubine Li slowly stood up and walked towards Xu Yong.

He said in a deep voice: "Yong'er, can't you see it now? Then Xu Yi has been targeting you for a long time!"

"Don't forget! He is the Commander-in-Chief of Guanzhong Disaster Relief personally appointed by your father! With this status alone! He has the qualifications to enter the palace to meet the Saint."

"But why, this time he didn't come in person, but instead let King Jin swagger into the palace to meet the saint."

Concubine Li finished speaking.

Xu Yong frowned for a moment, constantly thinking about Xu Yi's purpose in his mind.

After a while.

Xu Yong suddenly realized: "I understand! Xu Yi wants to use this to mess with my mind, so that I can mess up my position and expose more flaws!"

"If this is the case, then! Even if there is evidence of guilt in his hand, the evidence will not point to me!"

"That's right." Concubine Li confirmed, and then spoke again: "At this moment, Yong'er, what you have to do is to stabilize your position."

The words are over.

Concubine Li paused and continued: "Stay unchanged to cope with all changes, and leave the rest to your uncle."

The rest of Concubine Li's words. @·No mistake first release~~" What does it mean?

Xu Yong naturally understood.

Just as Concubine Li said before, doing this will certainly greatly reduce one's own strength, which is tantamount to cutting off one's arms.

However, it is better than losing the crown prince position if the incident comes to light.
