Chapter 303: too capricious
Chapter 303 is too capricious
The second prince's teeth were sore watching from the sidelines, and he couldn't help but take a sip and cursed in a low voice: "Hypocrisy!"
It was very quiet in front of the throne, although the second prince's voice was not loud, the emperor and Zhao Xiang could hear them clearly. The emperor's face darkened slightly again.
Zhao Xiang coughed and said with a calm smile: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is frank and outspoken, maybe there is some misunderstanding with this official, and this official wants to have a private chat with His Highness, and it is fine to speak clearly. I also ask the emperor for permission."
The emperor believed in Zhao Xiang's ability, and he wished Zhao Xiang would enlighten his son more! Even if Zhao Xiang didn't say that, he still wanted to mention it, and asked Zhao Xiang to take care of it more.
Hearing the words, he nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Okay, Zhao Aiqing will talk more about him in the future, and it is also his blessing to be able to teach Zhao Aiqing. Mo'er, don't be rude to Zhao Aiqing, you know?"
The second prince sneered, snorted through his nostrils, and replied nonchalantly: "Got it!"
Zhao Xiang suggested to talk about it in private, which was exactly what he wanted, and he also wanted to ask him what the **** he was doing!
"Master Zhao, please!"
The second prince couldn't wait, and raised his hand stiffly.
Zhao Xiang nodded and smiled slightly: "Your Highness please."
The second prince has long since grown up and reached the age of becoming a king, but he is aiming at the crown prince, so he has never been crowned king, and everyone still calls him "His Royal Highness".
Where there is no one, the second prince no longer has to hide his true face. He squeezed his fist and waved at Zhao Xiang, flaunting his power and exasperated: "Zhao Xiang! What do you mean!"
"Your Highness's words, I don't understand."
"Heh, don't pretend to be in front of this king! Put away the trick in front of the father, this king will not accept this trick! Don't forget how you returned to Beijing, why? This is crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?"
The smile on Zhao Xiang's face also disappeared, "Oh? Your Highness said so, and I don't understand even more. Is it because the emperor saw Ivy's loyalty and his achievements and contributions in Lingnan and pardoned Ivy when I returned to Beijing. Crossing a river and demolishing a bridge? Dare I ask Your Highness, what river did my minister cross and what bridge was demolished?"
The expression on the second prince's face cracked. He was dumbfounded.
"you you"
Zhao Xiang calmly said, "Your Highness, have you misunderstood something?"
Second Prince: "."
He didn't misunderstand! He was fooled!
He is not a fool, but his status is precious and he is favored. No one dares to provoke him. He does not need to use his brain for all the things he encounters in daily life. His status is enough.
Zhao Xiang has spoken so clearly now, what else does he not understand?
Zhao Xiang never said that he wanted to take refuge in him from the beginning to the end, and never expressed his loyalty to him! What he thought the two sides had agreed to was actually just his unilateral understanding. Zhao Xiang never said or expressed anything at all!
From the beginning to the end, he was wishful thinking!
Zhao Xiang is still the same Mr. Zhao from before, and he is still from the prince's side. He lied to Shu Min, and even more to himself.
He deliberately said some ambiguous words to misunderstand them, and then denied it!
**** it!
The second prince thinks it's impossible! Even at this moment, he still felt as impossible as a dream.
This is Zhao Xiang, isn't he always a gentleman, aloof and upright? How could he play such a scheming trick?
The second prince felt that anyone could play tricks, but Zhao Xiang would not, absolutely not.
Because of this, he easily believed it! Not even a trace of doubt or overthinking.
He originally watched Li Guogong's house cleaning the house and making various arrangements for Zhao Xiang's return to Beijing, and secretly sneered and mocked in his heart. He didn't intervene in anything, but gloated in his heart, waiting for the "truth to come out" For a moment, he severely disrespected the duke's mansion and the crown prince.
He believed that this would definitely deal a huge blow to them.
But he never thought of it. When the truth came out, he was the one who was hit!
Especially thinking that many people in my faction already knew that Zhao Xiang would take refuge in him. But it turned out not to be! The second prince was so angry that he couldn't turn around.
"Zhao Xiang! You bastard, I didn't expect you to be so cunning! You lied to me!"
Zhao Xiang glanced at the second prince indifferently, and said for a moment of silence: "I didn't, His Highness thought too much."
Zhao Xiang is no longer the former Zhao Xiang. An exile made him realize that some roads are impassable, and continuing is a dead end. He doesn't care, but what should His Royal Highness do?
The emperor has not been in good health for the past two years. When he returned to Beijing this time, he was obviously much older, and his hair was more than half gray. Who knows how long he can last?
If the emperor knows that his fate is not long, he will definitely not hesitate any longer. Concubine Yan Gui and the second prince will not allow him to hesitate any longer. His Royal Highness is in danger.
The second prince smiled angrily, "Okay, okay, Zhao Xiang, you wait! This king will definitely make you regret it!"
The second prince slammed Zhao Xiang away, and left angrily.
Are Zhou Hansheng and the eldest lady of the Zhao family going to the hunting ground to hunt? Oh, then he will teach them a good lesson and slap them in the face!
Keep them empty handed today! It's also good for people to see what kind of person the crown prince's direct cousin is.
Soon, all the ministers gathered in front of the emperor, the mountains shouted long live, people shouted horses, it was so lively, just looking at this team of warriors with bright armor and cool weapons made people feel excited.
Concubine Yan Gui also came over, and she was with the emperor, she was smiling and didn't know what to say, coaxing the emperor to nod frequently and smile all over his face.
Soon, the emperor gave an order, and the hunting team roared their horses one by one, and went straight to the hunting ground.
Concubine Yan Gui smiled casually and softly: "Your Majesty, I heard that Mr. Zhao's daughter is also on the stage? Or is he with the eldest son of the Duke of Liguo's mansion? Didn't they retire? When did this continue? Mr. Zhao It’s a good secret! It’s only today that I said it, but it didn’t surprise everyone!”
The emperor smiled: "Zhao Aiqing said that the two families did not withdraw their marriage, and that was all false rumors. Duke Li did not agree to withdraw their marriage."
Concubine Yan Gui's eyes flashed, she nodded: "So that's how it is!"
Zhao Xiang's father and daughter teased their mother and son, and she also remembered this account.
Zhou Hansheng brought fifty personal guards today, all carefully selected, including six female guards, and ordered them to follow Zhao Liya to protect Zhao Liya.
Zhao Liya may not need it, but he did not refuse his kindness.
A group of people rode their horses into the hunting ground together with everyone. Zhou Hansheng seemed to be careless, but in fact he was fully vigilant and guarded by Zhao Liya's side.
