Chapter 496 Panic
“You can put this matter aside for now!” The eldest princess fiddled with her Buddhist beads and said indifferently, “From today on, you will personally keep an eye on Fu Ruoxi. If Fu Ruoxi makes any unusual movements, report it at any time. Also, keep your secret agents in the palace and have them keep an eye on the queen to prevent her from doing anything irreversible.”
“Yes!” Wei Zhong responded.

On the morning of July 23, before the Crown Prince left court, Old Fang was waiting in the front hall of the Crown Prince’s Mansion with a happy look on his face.
Hearing the sound of the prince’s carriage returning home, Old Fang hurried to the door to greet him.
The prince, who had just entered the main gate, saw Fang Laoxiao running over and ordered Quan Yu: “Go and tell the Crown Princess in person that I have something to do here and will go over to have lunch with her at noon.”
“Yes…” Quan Yu nodded in agreement.
The prince and Mr. Fang walked to a secluded place and asked, “Is there anything urgent?”
“Your Highness, the victim of the lost child entered the capital as soon as the city gate opened today. I’m afraid he will go to report to the emperor in a while. What I mean is that Your Highness had better go to the palace now to observe His Majesty’s reaction when he heard about this matter. See if this elixir is made for His Majesty! Or is it made for King Liang himself! Try to control the direction of this matter at any time, and don’t give King Liang another chance to turn over!” Old Fang spoke quickly and hurriedly, “After Your Highness entered the palace yesterday, didn’t His Majesty approve the dispatch of new soldiers to Southern Xinjiang? Your Highness can just report the number of recruits this time to His Majesty. Please make a decision as soon as possible!”
Old Fang took out the detailed conscription report that had just been delivered to the Prince’s Mansion from his sleeve and handed it to the Prince respectfully.
The prince nodded and took the detailed conscription report: “I am very grateful to have Mr. Fang by my side to help me plan!”
“It is my great fortune to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! This time… Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince must remember that no matter whether this elixir is made for Your Majesty or for King Liang himself, Your Highness must insist that you do not know about it! Otherwise, Your Majesty will think that Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to use the same method that Bai Qingyan used to force Your Majesty to deal with King Xin, and force King Liang to death!”
“I know!”
The prince took the detailed report and got on the carriage again, heading for the palace without entering the palace.
After the court session, the emperor changed into casual clothes, leaned against a round pillow embroidered with flying dragons in gold thread, and sat on the Luohan bed by the window covered with a cool mat to read memorials.
There was ice placed in the four corners of the hall, and there was also ice in the bronze vessel at the emperor’s feet. The palace maids used fans to blow cool air in the direction of the emperor, making it very cool.
Gao Demao entered the palace quietly and said to the emperor in a low voice, “Your Majesty… the Crown Prince is here!”
“Yes!” The emperor was in a good mood and responded, “He came just in time. Let him take a look at these memorials. This heavy responsibility will be handed over to him in the future. Let him get used to it in advance.”
The emperor is finding it really boring to read these memorials now. He might as well go to the harem. Recently, Concubine Qiu has been acting very fancy and clingy.
He also came to terms with it. Now that the State of Jin was strong, why should he, as the emperor, continue to suffer as he did before? He could just leave it to the crown prince. Besides, the immortal master said… after taking the elixir, one must calm down and cultivate oneself, and not work too hard.
Gao Demao’s face was full of wrinkles as he smiled: “Your Majesty is kindhearted! I will teach the Crown Prince step by step!”
Having said that, Gao Demao stepped out of the hall and personally invited the prince in.
The prince entered the hall, saluted respectfully to the emperor, and placed the detailed report of the conscription in front of the emperor’s desk, saying: “Father, this is the details of this conscription. Now 20,000 new soldiers have been recruited, and they can be sent to the southern border first. If your father feels that the troops are not enough, you can draw 10,000 new soldiers stationed at the border of the northern border and then send them to the southern border!”
“Draw out ten thousand…” The emperor pondered carefully.
“Daliang was badly beaten by our Jin State this time! Even Xun Tianzhang died. Even if we dispatched 10,000 new soldiers to southern Xinjiang, Daliang would not dare to have any evil ideas! Look at this peace negotiation… Princess Nandu did not marry them from Daliang, but they did not dare to say anything!” said the prince with a smile.
During the peace talks, the reason why the Daliang envoys did not dwell on the fact that Princess Nandu broke off the engagement and refused to marry their Fourth Prince was because before coming to the peace talks, their Fourth Prince had specifically instructed them that he would never marry Princess Nandu Liu Ruofu, even if he died.
Unexpectedly, they hit the jackpot. Liu Ruofu had an affair with the prince of Jin. Of course, they in Daliang let it go and didn’t mention the matter again. They were also afraid that if they talked about this matter, the emperor of Jin would say that the rumor was nonsense and let Liu Ruofu marry to Liang. Then the fourth prince would skin them alive!
It is also difficult to send envoys to Daliang for peace.
The emperor took a sip of the lily sweet soup sent by the harem and nodded: “You are the crown prince. If you think this is feasible, then do it! Here are these memorials… You can also take a look at them and gain some experience. If there is anything you cannot decide, you can come to me!”
When the prince heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt down quickly: “Father…Father, what do you mean?”
The prince thought he had said something wrong, that the emperor was implying that he was overreaching and was meddling in other people’s affairs.
emperor:"……"
The emperor looked at the prince’s frightened expression and wondered if it was because he had been too harsh on the prince in the past that the prince was so afraid of him.
“You get up first. I have no other intentions. I just think that since you are now the crown prince, you should get familiar with government affairs as soon as possible and help me share the burden! In addition… I intend to ask Mr. Cui Shiyan to teach you. What do you think?”
Hearing the emperor say this, the prince felt relieved and hurriedly expressed his loyalty: “Father, you are still as energetic as a dragon and a tiger. May you live forever. You can teach me slowly. Why do you want me to get familiar with government affairs so quickly? I am very worried. If you feel unwell, I will let you know!”
“Get up! You have done a good job in handling the government affairs entrusted to you before. Your father has great confidence in you. Get up! Remember! You are the crown prince! There is no need to be so fearful every day!”
The emperor frowned, picked up the lily sweet soup at hand, lowered his eyes and was about to take a sip to calm his anger, but before he could drink the sweet soup, drums suddenly sounded from the direction of Wude Gate.
The emperor’s hand shook and the lily sweet soup almost spilled.
This is not the sound of Dengwen drum, what is it? !
The emperor was so angry that he almost smashed the soup cup in his hand. He was just about to hand the memorial to the prince and relax a little, okay…the drum for reporting the incident sounded again!
Ever since Bai Qingyan struck the Dengwen Drum, it has become a toy that anyone in the downtown area can strike, and anyone can come and strike it a few times.
The emperor placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table and shouted loudly, “Gao Demao!”
The prince hurriedly stood up and stood beside the emperor. He knew clearly what had happened, but was still a little nervous. His hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists and then stretched them out. Old Master Fang had told him that this time… no matter what, he must not tell the truth to his father!
