I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

Liu Yueru smiled. She didn't take this matter to heart. She could earn back all those things through her own efforts. Soon, the rouge shop she got from the Prime Minister's Mansion would be able to reopen.

But this business is different from that rouge shop. She wants to use the fame of the rouge shop as a springboard to add icing on the cake for it.

"Yue'er, wait for me in the mansion. I need to go to the palace to bring the two children back." Xie Jingrui suddenly looked at her strangely and said.

Liu Yueru pulled her hand back from Xie Jingrui's palm with some displeasure. "How can you heal your wound like this?"

Xie Jingrui held her hand and promised her that he would rest well after returning from the palace this time.

Liu Yueru understood Xie Jingrui's character and knew she couldn't stop him, so she warned him, "Be careful and come back early."

Xie Jingrui nodded and left Liu Mansion.

Go straight to the emperor's study.

Eunuch Li came in and carefully glanced at Emperor Hexu who was reviewing memorials, and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Jin requests to see you."

Emperor Hexu nodded without raising his head, and finally sighed softly, "Let him in."

Xie Jingrui strode in quickly, looking exhausted.

Emperor Hexu put the pen in his hand aside.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father."

Emperor Hexu said in a vicissitudes of life voice, "Get up, what business do you have in the palace today?"

Xie Jingrui presented the memorial in his hand; "On the day of the siege, many people from the Northern Frontier were captured. They have all confessed that the Northern Frontier had ambushed in the capital over the years, and their hiding places have also been found. The remaining Northern Frontier spies have basically been imprisoned. I ask my father to decide how to deal with this matter."

Eunuch Li stepped forward, took the memorial from Xie Jingrui's hand, and handed it to Emperor Hexu.

Emperor Hexu just glanced at it casually and put it aside.

Xie Jingrui has always been meticulous in his work, and he does every detail perfectly. I never need to worry about anything he does.

He raised his hand to motion Xie Jingrui to come to his side, and looked at his son in front of him with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Xie Jingrui stood quietly aside, and seeing that Emperor Hexu did not speak, he also stood aside silently.

Emperor Hexu gave a look to Eunuch Li beside him.

Eunuch Li understood what he meant and left the imperial study.

Emperor Hexu pondered for a long time before slowly asking, "The Crown Prince's health is getting worse, and my health is also getting worse. Do you think it is necessary to appoint another Crown Prince?"

After he finished speaking, Emperor Hexu's gaze fell on Xie Jingrui's face.

Xie Jingrui thought for a moment and asked, "Father has already made up his mind about this matter, so why bother asking Jing'er?"

"The divine doctor Yunhe has also checked on the prince's health, but he is unable to cure him."

Emperors have always been suspicious since ancient times. After listening to Xie Jingrui's words, Emperor Hexu thought that he also wanted to seize the throne, and his face turned not very good.

He asked tentatively, "Who do you think is the most suitable candidate for the crown prince among the many royal brothers?"

Xie Jingrui was so focused on using his military achievements to exchange for Liu Yueru's marriage that he didn't notice the strange look on Emperor Hexu's face.

He directly said what he was thinking; "No one, small or insignificant, is insignificant..."

"How outrageous." Emperor Hexu shouted angrily.

Before Xie Jingrui finished speaking, Emperor Hexu became more certain of his guess.

Although he had also thought about passing the throne to Xie Jingrui, it was different now that he was still in power and he revealed his ambition. His words instantly made Emperor Hexu furious.

Xie Jingrui looked at Emperor Hexu with some confusion and asked, "Father, isn't there something wrong with what I said?"

Emperor Hexu suddenly took the teacup from the table and threw it to the ground, angrily saying to Xie Jingrui, "They are all your brothers. Do you look down on your brothers so much? Or do you think you have power and don't care about them anymore?"

"Or have you been planning a rebellion for a long time?"

Xie Jingrui knelt on the ground and said to Emperor Hexu, "Father, you are too kind. I have never had this idea. I am just a rough man who only knows how to lead troops to fight. I don't know how to govern a country or a family, let alone how to manage the world. Why would I rebel?"

"What's more, although what I said just now was unpleasant to hear, what I said was all true. Governing a country and bringing peace to the world is no child's play."

Emperor Hexu thought of those secret reports, and heard what Xie Jingrui said, and he became furious. "You still don't know your mistakes."

Xie Jingrui's face darkened instantly, and he retorted, "What have I done wrong? I am just telling the truth. If your Majesty wants to hear something nice, you shouldn't ask me."

Emperor Hexu waved his sleeves and turned around, saying loudly, "Good, good, good, now you know how to contradict me. Come, throw him into prison and let him reflect on himself. When he knows he is wrong, he can come out again."

Eunuch Li came in immediately and looked at the two people arguing with each other. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

He said to Xie Jingrui, "Your Majesty, please admit your mistake to the Emperor."

Then he coaxed Emperor Hexu, "Your Majesty, Prince Jin has made great contributions in defending the city, and he is still injured. Please let him go."

Emperor Hexu turned his back and gasped for breath. He was really angry.

Eunuch Li gave Xie Jingrui a cautious look.

But Xie Jingrui also felt puzzled, he had no idea what the emperor was thinking, he looked at the guards who came in, and said with a dark face, "I am not wrong, you don't have to do anything, I will go by myself."

After saying that, he turned and left.

When he went out, he did not forget to give a look to the secret guard and went to the prison.

"Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of your health." After Eunuch Li and others left, he asked someone to clean up the place.

Then he served new tea to Emperor Hexu. "Your Majesty, weren't you still thinking about talking to Prince Jin about that matter today? Why did you start arguing for no reason?"

Emperor Hexu snorted coldly, "It will be bad if we don't temper him this time."

Eunuch Li had served Emperor Hexu for some years, so he knew what the emperor was thinking. He whispered, "Prince Jin was seriously injured. The imperial physician said that the wound had to be sutured several times. Your Majesty, that prison..."

Emperor Hexu sighed softly, "Let's put an imperial physician in jail with him, so they can take care of him. When he admits his mistake, he can come out."

"Yes!" Eunuch Li retreated happily.

Liu Yueru had prepared a table of delicious dishes for Xie Jingrui to eat when he came back. Suddenly, a secret guard appeared and bowed to her, saying, "Madam Liu, you don't have to wait for the prince to come back. The prince has been imprisoned by the emperor."

"What's going on?" Liu Yueru put down what she was holding and turned to look at the secret guard.

"I don't know either, but the prince and the emperor had a big fight in the imperial study, and the emperor even smashed the teacup. This time the prince won't be able to come out for a while."
