Capital

The capital city is different from the local county towns. The streets are wide, the shops are filled with a wide variety of goods, and many customers in satin skirts come and go, watching the prosperity.

In a large palace in the eastern suburbs, a tall, burly, middle-aged man with a face full of flesh was sitting in the main hall. He held a letter in his hand, and his confidant Xia Chao stood beside him.

The man's face was full of anger, and his eyes were staring at the beautiful middle-aged woman standing in front of him like a hawk.

The woman had delicate makeup on her face, bright eyes and white teeth, and wore a purple silk skirt, a bun on her head, and a pearl hairpin and hairpin, looking very wealthy.

Under the man's sharp gaze, the woman's body seemed to tremble slightly.

This person is none other than the current Sixth Lady, Ji Ming's daughter Ji Yan. Sitting on the chair is the current Sixth Prince He Hai.

Early in the morning, I received a letter from Heyang County. This letter had been on the road for nearly half a month.

"Look at what your father has done, but you can't even handle such a small thing. You're such a waste!" As he said that, he crumpled the letter in his hand into a ball and threw it to Ji Yan.

Ji Yan was unable to dodge and the paper ball hit her cheek, her delicate face turned red and her expression changed immediately.

She didn't know what had happened, she only knew that her father sent someone to deliver a letter, and after reading the letter, the prince was so angry.

Ji Yan picked up the letter tremblingly, opened the crumpled paper ball, took a rough look at it, and finally understood what the prince was angry about.

There's nothing we can do about what Dad has done. It's said that serving a king is like serving a tiger. When the prince gets angry, he changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. It's really scary.

I have followed him for more than ten years, and I always have to carefully figure out his thoughts.

Ji Yan immediately smiled brightly and said carefully, "Prince, calm down. My father didn't handle this properly. He was wrong. I cooked your favorite lotus seed soup. I'll give it to you right away!"

Ji Yan stood up and winked at Xia Chao who was standing beside her. Xia Chao was a skilled martial artist and was loyal to the prince, so he was trusted by the prince.

Xia Chao fell in love with Ji Yan's personal maid Fengxian, and they became lovers. However, if he really wanted to marry Fengxian, he had to get the Sixth Lady's approval.

Therefore, Xia Chao would speak for the Sixth Concubine from time to time. Looking at the look in the Sixth Concubine's eyes, he knew that he had to speak for Grandpa Ji again.

Thinking of this, he felt a headache. He didn't even know how many times he had wiped Mr. Ji's butt.

"The old man still refuses to give in. What is he waiting for? He can't be waiting for my tenth brother!" He Hai narrowed his eyes dangerously.

There has been no news from He Li for more than two months. This has never happened before. In the past, even if he was not present in person, he would still receive letters.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the emperor's serious illness and join other ministers to force him to become the crown prince as soon as possible. Except for He Cong and He Li, even if the others did not stand on his side, they did not dare to openly compete with him.

At present, He Li's whereabouts are unknown, and only He Cong is left, which is easy to deal with. But the old man just refuses to give in, what should I do!

The person sent to look for He Li also disappeared, and the token was also missing, which made him a little panic.

"Could it be that He Li is not dead?" He Hai's pupils shrank. If this token fell into his hands, it would be extremely disadvantageous to him.

"Sixth Master, now that there is no news from the Tenth Master and the Seventh Master is alone, it is time.

Let's ask other ministers to work harder to get the emperor to agree and make you the crown prince as soon as possible to avoid more trouble. "Xia Chao's eyes were full of calculations.

"Nonsense!" The Sixth Prince frowned, "Of course I want to, but the old man won't give in. And there's also this matter that my father-in-law has done."

Now the people he sent out to hunt down He Li are missing, and no one knows whether they are alive or dead. If He Li is not dead and these people fall into his hands, it would be like a time bomb.

How could Xia Chao not understand this? However, in the current situation, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty, I don't think this may be a bad thing. With the notice from Master Ji, we can also think of a way to deal with it in advance.

We should remain unchanged in the face of change. Besides, if Master Shi comes back and takes the initiative to provoke this matter, we can also put the blame on him and get away with it completely." Xia Chao sneered with narrowed eyes.

"Besides, we can also have the master write a letter to General He and have their people keep a close watch. Once they find the whereabouts of the Tenth Master, they must eliminate him. This should be done without anyone noticing, so that he won't ruin the Sixth Master's plans."

"Yes! Why didn't I think of that!" He Hai patted his thigh and suddenly realized that he was so angry that he was confused.

snort!

He Li, He Li! Since you want to ruin my good deeds and want me to die, don't blame me for being ruthless. He Hai raised the corners of his mouth a few degrees, his eyes were as cold as ice.

"Your Highness, here, this is the lotus seed soup I made." The Sixth Lady came in holding the lotus seed soup.

When she saw the Sixth Prince's expression when she came in, she knew that Xia Chao must have said something to make the Prince calm down a little.

He Hai saw it and hurriedly stood up and reached out to take it, frowning: "Madam, you can do it yourself, just let the servants do this little thing."

"This is your favorite food, Your Highness. Of course I'll do it myself!" Ji Yan said with a smile.

He Hai scooped a spoonful of lotus seed soup into his mouth, his face full of intoxication: "Hmm~ This is the taste. Madam really understands my heart! Hahahaha..."

Looking at the red marks on Ji Yan's face, He Hai asked, "Madam, does your face still hurt? I was so angry just now."

"My face doesn't hurt, it's just my heart that hurts~" Seeing that the prince's anger had mostly subsided, Ji Yan's face was charming and her eyes were seductive. She pulled the Sixth Prince's hand and pressed it against her chest.

Although the two have been together for quite some time, He Hai likes this kind of thing, and it is also Ji Yan's trump card, which has always worked.

The Sixth Prince glanced at Xia Chao, who wisely went out and closed the door.

Hearing the giggling coming from inside, Xia Chao shuddered all over: "It's broad daylight, the prince is in such a refined mood!"

Thinking of this, Xia Chao also became hot, but it was just right, he could go find Feng Xian, hehe...

After the Sixth Prince had a hearty meal, his anger subsided. He felt refreshed and his ideas flowed. He thought of a plan.

What Xia Chao said is right. We need to work harder. We originally wanted to solve this problem during the New Year, but it has been delayed until after the New Year.

He Hai asked Ji Yan to put on her clothes, made a list for her, asked her to bring gifts, and visit important officials in the court one by one on the pretext of wishing a happy new year.

He took the letter from his mother, Concubine Ling, and went to visit General He. After some polite exchanges, he did not hide anything and went straight to the point, stating that he wanted He Hong's advice and advocated the establishment of a crown prince.

In the letter, he mentioned intentionally or unintentionally the kindness his father had shown to He Hong in the past. Captain He certainly understood and knew what the other party meant.

Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today. It seems like it's time for me to repay him...
