Prince Jing's Mansion.
"Li Qian's ability is really not small. I didn't expect that once I went to Jiangdong, he really solved the problem of the Western Qiang Kingdom. Even the Dou family was destroyed by him. This man is really a great talent. !" Prince Jing sighed after returning from the palace, holding a cup of tea.
Mr. Xu chuckled, "I told you, there is nothing this kid can't do."
Prince Jing put down the tea cup and sighed, "But this person cannot be used by me."
"Your Highness, I said at the beginning that although this son is unruly, he also has a certain ambition. His Highness is sincerely serving the people. There is no reason for him not to stand on His side." Xu Lao said.
"There is a flood in the east of the Yangtze River, and His Highness is working hard to solve the problems for the people in the east of the Yangtze River. Who among the people does not praise His Highness? What is the Prince doing? All this is seen by the Holy See, the officials in the court, and the people of the world. Is it possible that he Won’t Li Qian see it?”
"Besides, the prince once sent someone to kill him. He and the prince have been at odds with each other for a long time. He will definitely not support the prince. Moreover, the prince seems to have had some changes recently. Everyone including the emperor is now alienated from the prince. Why should your highness worry about whether Li Qi'an will do it for your highness? Used?"
Prince Jing nodded, "It is true that I am overly worried. I just think that people like Li Qi'an will be very dangerous if they cannot be used for him. But after hearing what Mr. Xu said, I really don’t need to think too much, I just need to do my duty.”
"Your Highness should be like this. Since His Majesty allows His Majesty to dine in the palace, it can be seen that His Majesty has valued Your Highness more and more. Your Highness only needs to do your duty, and everything will fall into place naturally." Xu Lao said.
Prince Jing picked up the tea cup again and said, "You said there was something strange about the prince. What is it about?"
"It is said that Dou Huaishan once looked for the prince, and that the Holy Lord once encountered an assassin at the royal hunting ground." Mr. Xu lowered his voice, "It is most likely that the prince did it."
Prince Jing raised his eyebrows, "Is the prince so bold?"
"So, His Highness will come back in time. I'm afraid the Crown Prince's actions are more than that." Xu Lao said.
"Then what else does Mr. Xu think the prince will do?" Prince Jing asked.
"Now that Li Qi'an is in Xizhou, the Holy Emperor is also keeping an eye on Xizhou. If the prince really has an idea, this is definitely an opportunity." Xu Laodao said.
Prince Jing pondered for a moment, "Even if he has an idea, what can he accomplish if he has no soldiers?"
"You can borrow soldiers. If the Dou family can't do it, maybe another family can." Xu Lao said.
"In other words, the prince has made up his mind this time?" Prince Jing asked.
"He has already made his choice by colluding with Dou Huaishan. In fact, it can be said that he can't wait for a long time!" said Mr. Xu.
"What about us? What are we going to do?" Prince Jing put down the tea cup and asked.
"His Highness cannot stop what the Crown Prince wants to do, and besides, there is nothing he can hide from His Majesty," said Mr. Xu.
"Indeed, my father is not a vegetarian." Prince Jing smiled, "So whether the prince borrows troops or not, he will fall into trouble with the Dou family."
Mr. Xu glanced at Prince Jing and felt that Prince Jing was smiling a little inexplicably.
Prince Jing also immediately suppressed his smile, "It's exactly what Mr. Xu said. I can't stop what the prince wants to do, but I can't be careless about my father's safety, and the hunting ground thing can never happen again!"
Xizhou.
"Master Li, it is said that the old man has arrived in Xizhou soon. Many people from the Dou family ran to greet him. What should I do next?" Dou Zhun asked Li Qian.
He also seemed a little uneasy. After all, Dou Huaishan was always his father, and he had been under his father's pressure since he was a child. Naturally, the pressure on him was not small.
Li Qian smiled and said, "Go and greet him too. My father is back. How can a son not greet him?"
