The Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.
Although the emperor turned over Li Guiren's sign, he still didn't go. Eunuch Qing was adding lamp oil and turned around and asked, "Your Majesty, it's time to go to bed."
The emperor tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "He just fishes and makes fish soup in the yard all day long. Do you believe it?"
Eunuch Qing said with a smile: "His Royal Highness has been very busy a while ago. I am afraid he is tired. Moreover, the Crown Princess is about to give birth. It is understandable that he would like to spend more time with the Crown Princess."
The emperor shook his head and frowned: "I have seen wild wolves hunting. Once he identifies the target, he will start to attack. He will never stop and walk slowly. What is he planning?"
Eunuch Qing put the lampshade on, his eyes hesitated for a moment, but he continued to smile and said: "Wild wolves are wild wolves, how can they be confused with His Highness? Your Majesty, it's getting late. Don't keep your noble lord waiting."
The emperor raised his eyes and said, "Aqing, do you think I am a little harsh on the prince?"
Eunuch Qing turned around and said respectfully: "How your Majesty treats His Highness the Crown Prince is appropriate and for his own good. Your Highness the Crown Prince will definitely understand your good intentions. Your Majesty, don't worry too much."
"He may not understand my good intentions, but I understand very well what he wants to do." The emperor said coldly.
Eunuch Qing smiled apologetically, but he couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, do you know what His Highness wants to do?"
The emperor narrowed his eyes, "What he wants to do, of course, is to sit on my throne."
Eunuch Qing hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that Your Highness has absolutely no ambitions like this. He is already the prince, so why go to all the trouble? His Highness will not do this to give him a bad reputation."
The emperor sneered, "I always thought you were fair when you spoke in the past, but why did you help him today?"
"Your Majesty, this servant also watched His Highness grow up and knows his temperament..."
"People can change. Have you ever seen him disobey me in the past?" The emperor coldly interrupted Eunuch Qing, "Since Leng Xiao came back, he has become more aggressive and deviant in his actions. Now he has the old disease again." With the prince’s support, if I hadn’t appointed the boss as Minister of War, he would have even taken over the affairs of the Ministry of War.”
"Your Majesty, the old prince is no longer in charge, and he is helping His Highness this time. Isn't that because there is trouble in the army..."
Eunuch Qing stopped talking. There were some things he couldn't say. He had already said too much today. If he continued, he was afraid that the emperor would never believe him again.
He had no choice but to change his subject and said, "Your Majesty, I have talked too much. I am stupid. What I said is what I think in my heart. I have no intention to refute you."
The emperor's eyes were very sharp, "You know some things. That day, the Queen Mother said that a mage had made a divination, saying that Leng Xiao was not good for the prince. I later learned that the mage was Ming Wudao. Isn't this strange? Mother Queen Both He Ming and Ming Wudao knew that Leng Xiao would harm the prince, but they did not do anything to Leng Xiao, and even allowed her to get pregnant, and the children Leng Xiao was carrying were twins."
Eunuch Qing seemed a little uneasy. The emperor would never say this in front of him. Even if he did, he would stop after just one or two sentences.
However, tonight he even expressed his worries and seemed a little confused.
It can also be known that he has always kept these questions in his heart, but has never asked the Queen Mother.
He and the Empress Dowager originally talked about everything, but why didn't they ask now?
Eunuch Qing remembered that the Empress Dowager had a private conversation with the Emperor before, and her face looked particularly ugly after she came out. She even lost her temper when she came back to the Imperial Study. Did he ask? Or did the Empress Dowager blame him?
Did the Queen Mother also make some mistakes? Once the emperor becomes suspicious, he may not be able to listen to her as he used to.
"Show off!" The emperor stood up and suppressed the coldness in his eyes.
