The emperor was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he saw Cang Chenru howling loudly.
He looked at the eunuch on the side, who immediately stepped forward and helped him up, "Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, what's wrong with you? As long as you say it, the emperor will definitely make the decision for you."
The emperor also stood up from the dragon throne and walked to Cang Chenru. His voice was a little more loving, "Speak, I'll listen."
Cang Chenru sniffed and managed to stop his tears, "Father, these days I often hear people talking behind my back, saying that I am better than my second brother and third brother."
"I thought it was teasing and ridicule. After all, I have heard such words a lot since I was a child, but I didn't expect these words to get worse! This is obviously to flatter or kill me!"
When the emperor heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"Now that you have grown up, you will be able to leave the palace and build a palace and become a prince in the near future. Naturally, people will talk about it." He said calmly: "Let the prince share the government affairs. This has been the case in all dynasties."
"But they were clearly laughing at me before! Especially Mr. Fang, who said half a year ago that he was my father's most useless child, and said in front of him that he and his third brother were both born from the same belly. But it’s a world of difference!”
Cang Chenru's voice became much louder when he talked about his sadness.
He observed the emperor's expression calmly, then pushed the eunuch beside him and knelt down again.
"Father, they are obviously trying to kill me!"
"I don't know where I offended those adults. They want to treat me like this. I am really afraid that I will be killed and will never be able to stay with my father and mother."
He cried hoarsely, crying harder than a woman, and almost lay on the ground rolling around.
The emperor said warmly: "Your mother and concubine and I will grow old one day, and you can't stay with us forever."
"Then after a hundred years, the emperor and his mother will invite their sons and ministers to guard the mausoleum. They can also accompany their father and their concubines!"
Cang Chenru was crying like a child, and the eunuchs on the side were sweating when they saw him, and they hurriedly coaxed him nicely, but the emperor showed a relieved smile.
He handed Cang Chenru a handkerchief and asked Cang Chenru to wipe the tears on his face, "How old are you now, why are you still crying like a child?"
"My son is my father's child, and now I have suffered a great injustice. Naturally, I let my father make the decision." Cang Chenru said in a hoarse voice: "My father must save my son!"
The emperor smiled and nodded, "I understand."
Cang Chenru got the emperor's promise and stopped crying. He talked a lot to the emperor intermittently. His words revealed weakness and incompetence, which made the emperor feel relieved.
After he returned to Changle Palace, he sent someone to call Shenluoxi.
When Shen Luoxi arrived, she saw his slightly red and swollen eyes. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness Seventh. I think it took a lot of effort to cry like this."
Cang Chenru applied a wet towel soaked in cold water to his eyes, and then replied with a smile: "As long as my father can dispel his suspicions, I will naturally work harder."
Shen Luoxi looked at him meaningfully, "It is rumored that the relationship between the prince and His Highness is cold. It seems that it is just a rumor after all."
"Rumors are only meant to be believed by those who believe them. Sister-in-law, don't take it to heart." Cang Chenru smiled, "Father has been shaken. If everything goes well, the third brother will be able to return home in the next two days."
Shen Luoxi nodded.
…
In a side hall of the palace, Cang Yunxuan was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea. Every move he made was closely watched by the guards.
His expression did not change, he just quietly paid attention to the movements outside.
At this time, there were a few footsteps approaching from far away. Cang Yunxuan raised his eyes and saw the eunuch beside the emperor walking in front of him.
The eunuch smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Xuan, the emperor wants to see you."
Cang Yunxuan nodded, got up and followed him to Qianqing Palace.
"See the Emperor."
The emperor looked at his haggard face and quickly looked away, "I kept you in the palace for two days. Do you know why?"
Cang Yunxuan replied calmly, "The emperor's actions must have deep meaning. I don't need to think too much. It is enough to just obey the order and act."
"You are calm. If it were anyone else who was detained in the palace by me for no reason, they would have been extremely anxious." The emperor smiled lightly.
He observed Cang Yunxuan's expression calmly, and only after a moment did he let Cang Yunxuan stand up.
"Get up. Ever since you were a child, you have always been the most calm person among the princes."
Cang Yunxuan did not answer, still kneeling.
The emperor's eyes darkened slightly, "What's wrong?"
"I have been reflecting on myself these past two days and understand that the emperor is disappointed with me." Cang Yunxuan said solemnly: "No matter what happens in the future, I have never changed. As long as I can continue to serve Jingguo and be loyal to the emperor, I will Even if my body is broken into pieces, I have no regrets.”
After saying that, he kowtowed heavily.
The emperor looked at him quietly, and then said after a moment: "Go back."
"yes."
Cang Yunxuan stood up and walked out of Qianqing Palace, her back as straight as a green pine.
He walked out of the palace gate and galloped all the way back to the palace.
When the people in the palace saw that he was back, they all ran forward happily.
"My lord, you are finally back!"
Cang Yunxuan's eyebrows showed a little tiredness, "Let the princess come to see me."
"yes!"
When Shen Luoxi walked leisurely to Cang Yunxuan's yard, Ning Yanran was holding Cang Yunxuan's hand in the rain and telling her thoughts and worries these days.
She rolled her eyes, and just took a step forward when she heard Ning Yanran say: "I can't eat well these days. I can't run around for the prince like my sister. I can only listen to my sister and stay in the palace."
"Fortunately, the prince is back safely now, and my sister's hard work has not been in vain."
Shen Luoxi smiled coldly. Ning Yanran complained just after Cang Yunxuan came back. Was it because he was afraid that she wouldn't hear?
She watched Ning Yanran's performance quietly until Cang Yunxuan discovered her.
"You came."
Shen Luoxi stepped forward and looked at Ning Yanran with a half-smile, "The prince is able to come back safely because my sister's sincere prayers in front of the ancestors must have played a role."
What she meant was that Ning Yanran was useless.
Ning Yanran's face was ugly, and she held Cang Yunxuan's hand aggrievedly without letting go, but Cang Yunxuan gently withdrew her hand, turned to her and said, "Go back first, I have something to say with her."
"Your Majesty..."
Ning Yanran didn't want to leave. Shen Luoxi was busy these days and might move Cang Yunxuan. If Cang Yunxuan was tempted, what would she do?
"obedient."
Cang Yunxuan's attitude became tougher, and Ning Yanran could only stand up reluctantly.
She turned back three times and walked out, looking very pitiful. But when she stepped out of the courtyard gate, a guard hurriedly knocked her open.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Wen is not well!"
