He is not afraid of His Majesty when he is happy or angry. On the contrary, it is the most difficult to figure out when His Majesty is calm and expressionless.
At this time, if he is not careful, the position of the eunuch manager can be replaced by someone else at any time.
He has been following His Majesty for decades. The only person in the world who can do whatever he wants in front of His Majesty without constantly guessing His Majesty's thoughts is the Regent.
"None of my sons are simple."
The emperor sneered, put down the brush in his hand, picked up the words he had just written, and admired his own pen and ink.
Eunuch Li was silent. This was not a good thing to say.
"I originally thought that among the adult princes, Shen Jinchuan is the one who abides by the rules and is more sensible and knowledgeable than his brothers."
"Unexpectedly, he is more thoughtful and hidden than his brothers. Even I was almost deceived by him."
Having said this, Eunuch Li clearly felt a bit more coldness in the emperor's tone and buried his head lower.
"Speaking of which, I was able to discover this matter thanks to Su Ruowei."
The emperor changed the topic, "If she hadn't looked down on Mo Zechen and resorted to tricks to let Su Qianxi marry her, Su Qianxi would have left the Su family and started to have grudges and revenge."
"I didn't even know that a girl from the boudoir could have an affair with the third prince without telling everyone. No one knows about it until now."
There was a sneer on the corner of the emperor's mouth, and his deep eyes were full of cold light.
"My prime minister has raised an incredible daughter."
He was just a fake with unknown origins. Who gave her the courage to choose her future husband between Mo Zechen and Shen Jinchuan.
Su Ruowei's courage and ambition are really extraordinary! !
At this moment, the imperial concubine mistakenly thought that she knew the emperor's thoughts in advance, and wanted to deal with everything before the emperor took action to avoid being discovered by the emperor.
But they didn't know that since the emperor suspected that something was wrong with Shen Jinchuan, how could he be so stupid as to let the concubine, a concubine who had lived in the palace for a long time, know about his next actions?
The imperial concubine thought that she had really bought the palace people around him, but she had no idea that all this was done intentionally by him.
The news that the imperial concubine can know is the news that he wants the imperial concubine to know.
The emperor had already known everything that happened in the princess's palace on the day of the second princess's banquet. He always felt that something was not right, so he sent someone to investigate secretly.
Just like the imperial concubine said, he is a suspicious person.
Even though Shen Jinchuan had always been indifferent to fame and fortune, as long as he deviated from his indifferent character, the emperor would not hesitate to suspect that something was wrong with Shen Jinchuan.
Only by investigating clearly and confirming that Shen Jinchuan really has no thoughts about his throne can he be completely relieved.
It's a pity that the reason why Shen Jinchuan's little tricks have not been discovered all these years is not because of how clever their hiding methods are and how flawlessly they do things.
It was simply that the emperor believed in Shen Jinchuan, and Mo Zechen was deceived by Shen Jinchuan's mask and secretly blocked other people's temptations for Shen Jinchuan, so Shen Jinchuan was not exposed.
The emperor wanted to find out something. Shen Jinchuan was still a prince without any real power. How could he hide it from the emperor's men?
After investigation, the emperor discovered that Shen Jinchuan showed no interest in power in front of him, but secretly had many contacts with ministers who had real power in the court.
Many ministers have a good impression of Shen Jinchuan, and since Shen Jinchuan publicly showed that he had no idea about the throne, these ministers had no worries about contacting Shen Jinchuan in private.
Shen Jinchuan has gained their favor. If Shen Jinchuan expresses his desire to fight for the throne in the future, will they stand by and watch?
There may be people who will protect themselves wisely, but the emperor believes that there will definitely be people among them who are willing to follow Shen Jinchuan.
This behavior of casting a wide net, catching as many fish as possible, and choosing the best, would always be highly praised by Shen Jinchuan if it was not used to calculate and obtain his throne.
It's a pity that such a smart and disguised child covets his position, which is something the emperor cannot tolerate.
The reason why he still didn't do anything to Shen Jinchuan after knowing about Shen Jinchuan's little tricks behind his back was not because he couldn't bear to part with him.
It's just that he has doted on the imperial concubine over the years, and the imperial concubine behaves gently and carelessly, and never hides her ambitions in front of him.
In his opinion, the imperial concubine is a little smart but not very wise, and she is also a rare true-hearted person in the harem, so he is somewhat sincere towards the imperial concubine.
He was afraid that a hundred years from now, Shen Jinchuan would not love power and would only be an idle prince.
The imperial concubine had offended many people in the harem due to his favor over the years. Shen Jinchuan was afraid that he would not be able to protect the imperial concubine in the future, so he gave the imperial concubine face and promoted the imperial concubine's two brothers.
It's ironic to think that his own thoughts have now become a hindrance to him.
The emperor closed his eyes, exhaled a breath, and suppressed the anger in his heart, "Let someone investigate. I want to know when they met!"
Although Su Ruowei is not the biological daughter of the Su family, as far as he knows, Prime Minister Su's family treats Su Ruowei better than his own daughter.
The daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs is not enough, why does Shen Jinchuan still want to win over the Su family to join his ship? Shen Jinchuan is much more courageous than his brothers! !
"yes."
Eunuch Li nodded with a solemn expression and turned around to arrange for someone to investigate the matter.
"etc--"
The emperor suddenly thought of something and called out to Eunuch Li.
"I remember that all the beautiful ladies selected last month have entered the palace. I didn't let them sleep in the palace before. You go and choose a good one and let her sleep in the palace tonight."
Originally, there was no special reason for the beautiful women to be selected to enter the palace. In the past few days, the emperor would call the newly-entered beautiful women to serve as bed attendants.
It was just that the last time the imperial concubine suddenly fell seriously ill when the beautiful girl entered the palace. Some people said that it was the conflict between the newly-entered beautiful girl and the imperial concubine that caused the imperial concubine who had always been strong and healthy to fall ill.
At that time, he was somewhat sincere about the imperial concubine, but he was angry at that time. Those beautiful ladies were angered by him, and to this day, none of them sleep with her.
Now that he was a little tired of the imperial concubine and her son, why should he care about whether those beautiful ladies would bump into the imperial concubine.
"yes."
Eunuch Li quickly agreed, and after making sure that His Majesty had nothing else to do, he hurriedly turned around to do things.
Shen Jinchuan, who didn't know that he had been suspected by the emperor for a long time, hurriedly called back his men after leaving the palace. Worried that Su Ruowei would mistakenly think that he didn't care about him, he hesitated for a moment and wrote another letter quietly. Delivered to Qiuyue's hands.
The unsuspecting Shen Jinchuan had no idea that his little actions would fall into the eyes of the people sent by the emperor to monitor him.
