MTLNOVEL Chapter 220 Trap
As he said that, the emperor couldn't help but stood up and said, "No, I can't let Jialun act like this. I have to call her back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Concubine Shu grabbed the emperor's sleeve and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, look at you, are you angry? That's Prince Jing and not someone else. That's Princess Jialun's brother, so what? Will it harm Jialun?"
As Concubine Shu spoke, she pulled the emperor and sat back down.
Although the emperor was a little worried, seeing Concubine Shu looking so calm and composed, he was also curious about what she wanted to say, so he asked, "What do you think of Concubine Shu?"
"Not at all, Gao Jian," Concubine Shu said frankly, "I still have the same opinion. Princess Jialun is at the age where she loves to play. It's normal to do this."
"Don't worry yet. As the saying goes, it's better to clear things up than to block them."
The emperor frowned, "What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, isn't your question right?" Concubine Shu covered her lips and chuckled, "The princess has already left the palace. She may be having fun at the moment. If you call her back at this time, she will definitely be happy and unwilling to miss Shu. Listen to Your Majesty, it won’t be a good idea to hurt the relationship between father and daughter when the time comes.”
"But thinking about it on the other hand, Jia Lun has already left the palace, so Your Majesty, why don't you let her have fun for a few days and let Prince Jing take her to have a good time."
The emperor was also an old father, so he felt worried after hearing this.
But Concubine Shu laughed when she saw it, shook her head and said, "How can life outside the palace be better than inside the palace? Jialun is just curious and fresh. When the freshness wears off, she will feel bored." ”
"When the time comes, you call her back and Jia Lun will definitely agree. Maybe she will also tell you the interesting things she encountered outside the palace. How nice."
Concubine Shu spoke nicely, and she didn't feel offended that she guessed the emperor's thoughts. Instead, she nodded and agreed.
"I haven't talked to the children for a long time. After hearing this, my concubine's advice is still pertinent."
"I'm just sharing your Majesty's worries."
After saying that, Concubine Shu stopped mentioning the matter and personally waited on the emperor as he left the palace. She watched him go away, her smile slightly subdued, and her expression seemed to be relieved, but she was not completely relaxed.
She thought for a moment and quickly went to Prince Rong's Mansion with a clear goal.
As Concubine Shu expected, the emperor sent the eunuch in charge to Prince Jing's Mansion to deliver an oral edict not long after he entered the imperial study.
Prince Jing was still at a loss when he received the news. Hearing that someone was coming from the palace, he was alert on all sides. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of anything wrong with him. When he went over and saw that it was the chief eunuch who came in person, he was even more surprised for a moment, thinking that he had done something wrong. What a big deal.
He hurriedly stuffed his money and wanted to find out something, but unexpectedly, the chief eunuch, who usually liked to reveal something, didn't look sideways at this moment and said:
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing, it's not that our family is unaccommodating, but this decree is not given to you. Your Majesty already knows that Princess Jialun is with you, so please ask His Majesty the Princess to come and receive the decree."
Prince Jing never expected that this name would come out of the head eunuch's mouth.
He was stunned for a moment, and even though he reacted quickly, his expression also showed some unnaturalness. Seeing this, the chief eunuch couldn't help but said: "Why hasn't Your Highness come out for a long time? The holy will is clear, but there can be no delay. The prince should hurry up and let the princess know." Come and receive the order.”
If the moment I just heard this name
, Prince Jing felt guilty and nervous, but when he heard the chief eunuch’s supplementary explanation, Prince Jing only felt doubtful and strange.
He really couldn't figure out what was going on now. The chief eunuch came here to find Princess Jialun on orders.
They even found Prince Jing's Mansion accurately, which proved that the father must have known something.
But if the father knew that he had kidnapped Princess Jialun halfway...
The tone and expression of the chief eunuch could never be so kind. Prince Jing could even guess that the one who came to announce the decree should not be the chief eunuch, but rather the Dali Temple who came directly to arrest the person.
Prince Jing's mind was spinning. How could he not know how much his father doted on Princess Jialun?
He knew this, so he deliberately detained Zhou Xiaoyuan when she took Princess Jialun out of the palace.
Now this situation that seemed to be exposed but not seemed to be exposed made Prince Jing a little worried, but he had no clue. It was clear that Xia Yechen didn't say anything to the emperor, so how did he know?
As he was thinking about it, the head eunuch on the other end couldn't wait any longer, and his tone was obviously more urging.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty! Why are you in such a daze? Where is Princess Jialun? Don't embarrass our family. We have to go back after delivering the oral instructions. Your Majesty is still waiting on the other side. We really can't afford to delay."
Under such a call, Prince Jing had no choice but to delay even if he wanted to. For a while, he could only bite the bullet and speak.
"Eunuch, I am not deliberately making things difficult for you. Princess Jialun is indeed a good person to me, but she just went out to play half an hour ago."
"The capital is so big, you can walk to the west of the city in half an hour.
There are many alleys and the most gadgets there. How do you think you can find Jialun with three or four guards? "
What Prince Jing said was reasonable and the head eunuch frowned and had no choice but to nod.
"In this way, it is in line with His Majesty's oral instructions... Then let's leave this imperial edict to the prince——"
After saying that, the head eunuch looked solemn.
King Jing also knelt down on his own initiative and listened to the eunuch's announcement. The oral instruction was an oral instruction, and it was just a concise and concise sentence:
"His Majesty ordered: Jia Lun is young and restless, and I feel helpless. I hereby reward him with a five-day period. During this period, he does not have to return to the palace. His brother must remember to protect his safety."
Having said that, the chief eunuch, King Chao Jing, blessed himself and said: "Your Majesty also said that leaving the palace without permission or taking people out of the palace without permission would be severely punished, but after Concubine Shu's advice, Your Majesty also felt that The brother and sister worked together to break the gold. It is a good thing that you love your sister, but the method is wrong. After your Majesty thought about it, you gave the prince a chance to make amends for his sins. Does the prince understand? "
Prince Jing was originally confused, but now that he heard the word "Shu Fei", he couldn't understand it for a moment. He twitched the corners of his lips, forced a smile, and tried to answer.
"I know, I will reflect on it and take good care of my sister. Father, please don't worry. Jialun will have a good life these five days."
There seems to be something strange about this. The chief eunuch thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure out the reason. He could only nod his head and said politely: "His Royal Highness Prince Jing has always had a good understanding, so we can rest assured. We will go back to resume our lives right away. There is no need for the prince to send him off." .”
After saying that, the chief eunuch walked a few steps and then turned back, not forgetting to remind Prince Jing,
"You must remember to tell Princess Jialun about this matter. If you miss the five-day deadline..."
