Ye Xuanrong is now much thinner than before the Spring Banquet, and looks more mature than before.

Emperor Qinglong squinted his eyes and looked at him, as if he wanted to see some clues from his face, to see someone else's shadow, so that he wouldn't have to go to the trouble of guessing who the adulterer was.

Although the poison that Ji Ziche gave him that day did not take his life, it made him suffer every day, and he wanted to commit suicide many times.

It's not that my mother didn't look for Ji Ziche, and even my cousin Zhikang went to plead for mercy, but Ji Ziche didn't care about the relationship between cousins ​​at all. Not to mention taking out the antidote, he just drove everyone out.

"Sixth Prince, don't you want revenge? To trample those who tortured you under your feet?"

After he attempted suicide once and was saved by Shen Zhikang, when he heard him ask this in a low voice, he told himself that he must persevere.

Just as the imperial physician said, it is not a fatal poison, it will only cause pain for a few days. If he cannot even bear this, what will happen to him in the future when he faces a dangerous road to succession?

Fortunately, he survived, and even his state of mind and will underwent a complete transformation.

But when Emperor Qinglong looked at him and asked him what he thought, the overwhelming sense of oppression still made him timid and nervous, and his brain went blank for a moment.

My father's eyes seem to be able to see through everything. What if... what if he finds out?

He opened his mouth but didn't dare to say what he had already prepared in mind.

"Sixth Brother, I am asking you a question."

He didn't respond for a long time, and Emperor Qinglong spoke again.

Emperor Qinglong's voice was calm and peaceful without revealing any emotion, and he was as tolerant of Ye Xuanrong as ever.

Ye Xuanrong subconsciously looked at Shen Qiaoping, who nodded slightly and gave him an affirmative look, which calmed his uneasy heart.

They had carefully planned this for a long time, so there was no way anything could go wrong.

So he said decisively: "I think what Duke Ning and Lord Zhao said is very true. The Jiang family is rich enough to rival a country, which is a threat to the court. Now they dare to deceive the emperor and disregard the country. They must have ulterior motives. The emperor should make a decision as soon as possible."

He did not miss the secret eye contact between Lao Liu and Shen Qiaoping just now. It seems that they are colluding with each other again this time!

However, Emperor Qinglong was quite curious. Even though the Jiangnan Jiang family was extremely wealthy, they were just a merchant family. Why did they become so fearful and even use the border war to eliminate them?

Since the fourth brother said that he would leave everything to that little girl, I guess she knows all the inside stories.

But he has been waiting for so long, why hasn’t that little girl shown up yet?

Emperor Qinglong found that he wanted to hear her thoughts more and more.

The flower-viewing banquet has just ended. Should we find another excuse to hold another palace banquet? Otherwise, it is not impossible to have the empress and concubines in the harem hold banquets one by one.

But would it be too ostentatious?

"Father...Father!"

Ye Xuanrong's voice brought Emperor Qinglong back to his senses.

Facing the puzzled eyes of his once most beloved son, Emperor Qinglong suddenly found that he did not have the slightest patience to deal with him.

Just as he was about to explode, Eunuch Sun came in and reported, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Chen wants to see you."

Emperor Qinglong immediately perked up: "Let him in."

But Eunuch Sun did not move: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Chen brought someone with him..."

"Let him bring it in!"

Emperor Qinglong thought that the person Ye Xuanqi brought was Song Yunxi, and interrupted Eunuch Sun before he could finish his words.

That little bitch is finally here!

The impatience and murderous intent that had just arisen because of Ye Xuanrong disappeared completely, replaced by excitement and full of anticipation.

Shen Qiaoping and Zhao Chengan looked at each other, and both saw the same uneasiness in each other's eyes——

Why is he here?

Ye Xuanqi, who used to not care about state affairs, has been too popular recently. Especially the change in the emperor's attitude towards him has caused them to feel a sense of crisis.

If he, the legitimate son, also wants to compete for the throne, then the Sixth Prince will not have such a great chance of winning.

When Emperor Qinglong saw the ugly man brought in by Ye Xuanqi, his excitement and anticipation were extinguished, leaving only confusion.

"Your humble servant Jiang Shengchuan pays respect to His Majesty."

Jiang Shengchuan is the mysterious head of the Jiang family.

I heard that he never meets outsiders, so even when Zhao Chengan came to his house, he was unable to see him.

When Emperor Qinglong was looking at Jiang Shengchuan on the ground, a familiar voice came into his ears——

[You dog emperor, let me get up first! ]

If she hadn't been disguised as Jiang Shengchuan, she wouldn't have kneeled!

Emperor Qinglong stared at Jiang Shengchuan in a trance, thinking he was hallucinating.

"How dare Jiang Shengchuan pass off inferior goods as good ones, using wheat bran as food. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor and deceiving the emperor. You deserve to die!"

Shen Qiaoping came up and started to scold him angrily. Song Yunxi curled her lips.

[You've already claimed to be the emperor before you succeeded in usurping the throne? If I hadn't kept you here to track down the Wei family, do you really think you could have lived to this day? I would have killed you long ago! ]

This time, Emperor Qinglong was certain that Jiang Shengchuan in front of him was Song Yunxi.

But...but why did her face become like this?

"Get up and answer!"

After confirming the identity, Emperor Qinglong was afraid that if he was a step slower, the little girl would call him a dog emperor... No, next time maybe she would call him a donkey emperor or something, so he quickly asked someone to get up.

Although it was a very common sentence and attitude, for some reason the people in Ye Xuanrong's camp actually heard a hint of flattery.

It must be an illusion!

Song Yunxi stood up with an ugly, burned face.

Ye Xuanrong smiled with a dagger hidden in his heart: "I heard that Master Jiang never sees outsiders. Today, even Lord Zhao was turned away when he came to take someone away."

What this means is that Ye Xuanqi has actually conquered the richest businessman in the world, and no one knows who he will conquer next!

If it were any other time, his words would surely succeed in arousing the anger and suspicion of Emperor Qinglong, and would certainly tie Ye Xuanqi to the feared General Dingguo Mansion again. However, this time, Emperor Qinglong seemed to turn a deaf ear to him, and his emotions remained calm without any fluctuations.

This surprised Ye Xuanrong and made Shen Qiaoping feel even more threatened.

For so many years, he has been the emperor's most trusted minister, but this time the emperor's attitude towards Prince Chen really puzzled him.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Shengchuan is so bold and reckless, there must be someone behind him. Why don't you hand him over to me and I will make him confess the mastermind behind it."

[Ah, bah! The old emperor may be a dog, but he hasn't said anything yet, and you, a minister, are stepping in to take over his duties. Why don't you go up and pull the old emperor off the dragon throne and sit on it yourself? ]

In the past, he was really blinded by what he heard and believed, and he never realized that Shen Qiaoping was the one who made the decision for him.

Ye Xuanqi's voice was cold: "I know that Duke Ning wants to share my father's worries, but please be patient and let my father make the decision first!"
