NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 104 Tianxiang Tower
This time, King Duan spent a lot of effort to comfort Qin's concubine, and finally sent away the crying concubine Qin and his concubine. Then he looked at Prince Duan and said,
"This matter is very strange. After thinking about it for a while, my father decided to report it and ask the governor of the capital to come and take over the case."
Crown Prince Duan immediately understood what his father meant. In other words, it would be difficult to find out the murderer of this theft case, so it would be better to let the governor of the capital have a headache. He also agreed with his father's words, and there was a palace in the mansion. The spy in the palace happened to be able to let the people in the palace know about this matter.
"What the father said is true. Then my son will go to the capital government office and inform Mr. Zhou of the matter."
Qianyang Hall in the Imperial Palace.
Sitting at the head of the hall was an old man in his fifties, who was the current emperor. At this time, he was also frowning and staring at the man in black kneeling in front of the case.
"You're saying that the fourth child's house was robbed last night, and that a concubine's warehouse was completely stolen?"
The man in black said.
"That's exactly what the emperor said. Now Prince Duan has gone to the capital government office, presumably to report the case."
The emperor at the head nodded after hearing this.
"In your opinion, who did it?"
The man in black stiffened, glanced at the emperor sitting above him in embarrassment, and said hesitantly.
"This... I don't know about this at the moment, but I can go check it out, and maybe I can find the thief. However, Your Majesty, there is one thing I don't know about, which is how the thief took everything in a warehouse. They were all moved away quietly, and no one in Prince Duan’s Mansion noticed it. There were nearly a hundred guards patrolling Prince Duan’s Mansion!”
The emperor above him stared at the man in black, and the expression on his face was even more calm and intimidating. The majesty accumulated over the years made the man in black feel terrified.
"This is what you need to verify. Are you going to ask me?"
The man in black had already stood up, but after the emperor's words, he knelt down again with a plop.
"This subordinate deserves to die, I hope the emperor will forgive me!"
"Okay, let's go down and check things out!"
After sending away the man in black, the emperor put down the memorial in his hand and stood up gently.
"Quanlin, what do you think the Fourth and his son are doing?"
Quan Lin, who had been standing beside the emperor and pretended to be deaf and dumb, knelt down when he heard this and said with a mournful face.
"Your Majesty, I don't know! I am just a eunuch. I only care about your affairs, Your Majesty. I just need to serve you well. I have never thought about the affairs of Prince Duan's Mansion!"
The emperor looked at Quan Lin's frightened look and shook his head slightly. He walked to the center of the hall and looked at the palaces outside the palace gate.
"Okay, get up! I was just asking casually. You did a good job and I'm very happy."
When Quan Lin heard what the emperor said, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves, and stood up slowly.
"You old guy, you really make me happy. Sometimes I am so angry that I want to chop off your head! Speaking of which, we have been together for decades! I remember that when you came to me, you seemed like I'm only about ten years old, so I was only seven or eight years old at that time, right?"
When Quanlin heard what the emperor said, he knew that today's disaster had been avoided, so he sneered.
"Yes, when the slave was in his teens, the late emperor sent the slave to the emperor who was still the prince at that time. In the blink of an eye, almost fifty years have passed. The old slave is also old and can no longer serve the emperor for many years! "
The emperor turned around and glanced at Quanlin.
"Yes, you are old and I am old too, but my sons are not worried!"
Quanlin naturally knew the meaning of the emperor's words. The emperor actually knew everything that Prince An and Prince Duan had secretly done over the years. He was just concerned about the relationship between father and son, so the emperor had been holding back, and he even wanted to let them sharpen their swords as the prince Shi, then he let it go a little bit, but now it seems that King An and King Duan still don't give up. They are always thinking about suppressing the prince, but they don't want to think about the disaster that Princess Duan's natal family suffered in the past few years because the emperor noticed it. They wanted to rebel, so the emperor punished Princess Duan's natal family to scare the monkeys, but now it seems that Prince Duan and Prince An still didn't realize it.
Quanlin naturally heard the helplessness and pain in the emperor's words, but as the emperor and the king of a country, such things are naturally inevitable. Those princes and princes are all the emperor's sons. The dragon throne under the emperor's buttocks, If any of the sons wanted to go up and sit down, they would naturally be unwilling to do so, so the younger son became the target of their attack.
However, for these things, as a slave and a rootless person, Quanlin sees his position and identity very clearly. He will not interfere with any affairs of the princes and princes. He just serves the emperor well. Now he is about to be six years old. He was ten years old and could not live for a few more years. There was no need to get involved in the matter of seizing the legitimate son. When the emperor died, he could just follow the emperor. Anyway, he was alone and had nothing to worry about.
After lunch, Ning Xiao went out and wandered on the street. As a woman in her first life, Zhou Yunniang's discipline was too strict and she didn't go out much. She usually did embroidery work at home. But things are different now. As a man, he can go out whenever he wants, and no elders are around to nag him. This makes Ning Xiao less depressed about turning from a woman into a man.
Speaking of which, after a month or two of being a man, Ning Xiao was actually not used to it many times. Even standing up, he always felt very awkward, so every time he went to the toilet, he would chase Xiao Linzi away. When I go out, I am still used to squatting down to solve things.
Moreover, when it was time to change clothes, Xiao Linzi wanted to help him get dressed, and he felt awkward. If a maid came to take care of him, he would probably feel better, so during this period, whether it was dressing or going to the toilet, Ning Xiao is always alone and doesn't let anyone around him.
Holding a folding fan in his hand and swaying as he walked on the street, Ning Xiao looked like a dandy at this moment. Of course, from the day he entered the capital, Ning Xiao had always had an easy time. Of course, he wasn't sure whether the people in Prince Duan's palace would recognize him, but it was better to be cautious before making a big mistake.
Thinking about what he had given to the prince two days ago, he didn't know if the prince had already started taking action. However, Ning Xiao also knew that there was no need to rush into this matter, so he could only suppress his thoughts and not think about these things.
Anyway, I have a lot of money now. Even if I don't work hard in my life, I won't be able to spend all my money.
"Tianxiang Tower."
Ning Xiao shrugged his nose and smelled the fragrance emanating from the Tianxiang Tower. He decided that he would have dinner in the Tianxiang Tower tonight, not to mention anything else, just because of the fragrance. It was the same even if he thought about it.
