King Chen quickly changed his clothes, ordered someone to prepare a carriage, arrived at Prince Zhan's Mansion with the ginseng carefully selected by the steward, and ordered someone to knock on the door.
"Your Highness King Chen?" Steward Cheng opened the door and saw King Chen. The surprise on his face flashed across his face. He quickly introduced him and saluted respectfully, "Old servant, see His Highness King Chen."
"Is Ninth Brother in the house?"
"Your Majesty is in the study. I would like to invite His Royal Highness Prince Chen to serve tea in the front hall." Butler Cheng said, and respectfully led him to the front hall. "His Royal Highness Chen, please sit down for a moment. I will go and report to the Prince."
King Chen did not comment and sat down in the front hall.
Rong Cang was discussing military affairs with several generals in the study. When he heard Butler Cheng's report, his expression turned cold to the naked eye: "Let him wait."
"Yes." Butler Cheng quickly returned to the day before yesterday.
King Chen sat in the front hall and drank a cup of tea. He didn't see Rong Cang coming. He turned to Butler Cheng and said, "Ninth brother is busy today?"
"I don't know much about the prince's affairs."
"The concubine that Ninth Brother took in before." King Chen spoke calmly, with the tone of an elder brother caring about his younger brother, "How is she doing recently? I heard that there was a lot of commotion a while ago, Ninth Brother will not do it again Are you going to do the ridiculous thing of favoring a concubine and destroying your wife?"
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, Prince Chen." Butler Cheng said with a smile on his face, "My princess manages the household well, manages the inner house with kindness and power, and makes the restless concubine obedient. The prince has restrained his behavior a lot recently."
King Chen has a delicate eye and a delicate heart, and his restless concubine is obedient?
Chu Yunfei really has some tricks.
He was clearly unhappy, but King Chen quickly concealed his good mood and smiled lightly: "I have been worried about my ninth brother's physical condition these days. Is he really back to normal?"
"Your Highness, King Chen, don't worry."
"Then..." King Chen's eyes flashed slightly and he pretended to speak casually, "Does Ninth Brother have any other symptoms?"
"Other symptoms?" Butler Cheng looked confused, "His Royal Highness Chen is referring to..."
"I just care about you on a routine basis." King Chen said in a gentle and steady tone, "Because Ninth Brother is used to being calm and can never find fault in his work, but the thing he did a while ago was really unreasonable, and I am always worried that he will be plotted by others. , so I want to find out why.”
Butler Cheng heard this and nodded clearly: "The old slave is only responsible for the affairs of the outer courtyard and taking care of the comings and goings of the palace. The prince has been living in the inner courtyard since he was injured. The specific situation is unknown to the old slave. It may only be the prince and the princess themselves. Know."
King Chen's face darkened: "As a steward of the palace, it is also your duty to pay attention to the safety of your master."
Butler Cheng lowered his head: "Yes, the old slave neglected his duty."
King Chen ordered: "Bring out the concubine of the Chu family, and I will ask her face to face to see what tricks she used to bewitch the usually clean King of War to the point of losing his soul."
"This..." Steward Cheng said in embarrassment, "Your Highness, King Chen, please forgive me. The princess has an order that the concubine is not allowed to leave her residence without her permission."
King Chen's face turned cold: "If she can't find out the concubine's conspiracy, why can't I ask in person?"
Butler Cheng was about to speak when a lukewarm response suddenly came from outside: "I'm afraid it won't work."
Butler Cheng turned his head to look, and then saluted: "Princess, Your Majesty."
"Uncle Cheng, there is no need to be polite, just go and do your business." Chu Yunfei ordered, turning to look at King Chen, "Why didn't His Highness, King Chen, come to visit today and send a message in advance? The prince and I can prepare the reception in advance."
King Chen's eyes narrowed. He didn't expect Chu Yunfei to come back so early. There was a hint of guilt on his face, but he smiled calmly: "I have nothing to do at home today, and I received the news that my mother and concubine came to the palace to attend the family banquet. , I came over to take a look at my ninth brother, but I didn’t expect that my ninth brother was busy.”
"Since Your Highness, King Chen, is here to see the prince, why do you mention Chu Yunjiao again and again?" Chu Yunfei stood in the hall and said in a calm tone, "She is the prince's concubine. Men and women are not intimate with each other. Prince Chen wants to see her. Is it appropriate?"
"I just want to ask, what conspiracy did she use in the first place to make Ninth Brother do something that was not in line with his status?" King Chen said, frowning slightly, "Ninth Brother has always been cautious in doing things. She rarely makes mistakes, and she is even scolded by Father very rarely, but I didn’t expect that she would be scolded by the cane this time.”
Chu Yunfei looked at his indignant expression, his tone was a bit angry, and she really wanted to laugh for a moment.
But she really didn't want to waste any time talking to him.
Seeing King Chen sitting there like a brother, Chu Yunfei really wanted him to throw him out.
"Chu Yunjiao is already a member of Prince Zhan's Mansion. How to interrogate and deal with her is my business as the princess, and I don't have to worry about King Chen." Chu Yunfei's tone became colder, "Anyway, I am idle, and I have plenty of time. Clean up and train her."
King Chen's face darkened: "Brother and sister, is this how you talk to me?"
"What's wrong with the way the princess speaks like this?" A cold and biting voice suddenly sounded, as if it was coming with a cold air, making people tremble all over.
Chu Yunfei turned around and looked.
Rong Cang, who was wearing a black robe and had a tall body, walked in. He was handsome, aloof and indifferent, and his aura was too powerful to be ignored.
King Chen tightened his grip on the tea cup and said coldly: "What do you mean by what Ninth Brother said?"
"You came uninvited and you bossed the princess around. Who gave you the qualifications?" Rong Cang's voice was colder than his, showing no mercy at all. "Is it possible that you want the princess to kneel on the ground and listen to your dog barking?"
Chu Yun couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.
Barking?
King Chen's face was gloomy and ugly, as if there was a layer of frost on his face.
"You're back?" Rong Cang heard Chu Yunfei's laughter and his eyes fell on her face, his eyes a little warmer, "How was your time at Xie's house?"
"Very good." There was still a bit of a smile on Chu Yun Fei's face, which made her dark pupils look particularly bright and moving. "Thank you, Miss Xie, for her good craftsmanship. She made a few snacks for me to taste."
Rong Cang hummed: "Go and rest first, I'll entertain you here."
Chu Yunfei nodded, turned around and walked out without even looking at King Chen.
The maid waiting outside the hall followed.
Rong Cang walked to the main seat and sat down, pouring a cup of tea by himself.
"You have something to say." Rong Cang held the tea cup and said in an indifferent and distant voice, "I am busy with official duties and don't have time to spend more time with you."
King Chen's face turned dark: "When have I ever offended my ninth brother?"
Rong Cang closed his eyes and took a sip of tea, and his voice became colder: "You know it in your heart."
King Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously thought that Rong Cang knew something. The hand holding the tea cup was slightly clenched, but his face remained calm: "I hope Ninth Brother will speak clearly."
"I used to think that you were just pretending to be benevolent and righteous, but today I found out that you are really a coward." Rong Cang's voice was cold and biting, as if it was wrapped in ice and snow. "I took advantage of the opportunity when I was injured and bedridden to join forces to bully a female prostitute. Seniors, do you want face?"
