Chapter 136
But Shao She hurried to Jingyang Palace. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw several eunuchs greeting him, bowed and smiled, "Hello, Lord Shao, Your Majesty has given him instructions, no one is allowed to break into Jingyang Palace privately."
"Then please inform me and say that Shao She asked for a meeting!" Shao She smiled bitterly, not allowed to break into private affairs. Could it be that he would have to hand him a letter of worship and ask for a meeting?
The little eunuch agreed and hurried in. After a moment, Wang Tai came out and bowed and smiled, "Sir!"
Shao She followed him in and walked straight into Shao Shuhuan's bedroom. Shao Shuhuan had already stood up to greet him and smiled and said, "Why is my father here?"
"Your Majesty keeps me for dinner, Shuhuan won't drive people away, right?" Shao She said with a smile.
"How could it be?" Shao Shuhuan smiled and asked Shao She to do it. He poured tea and gave it to him.
Shao She answered and said with a smile: "Sit down and talk, you have never seen you so politely in front of His Majesty."
"Your Majesty won't scold me!" Shao Shuhuan said with a smile. His implication was very clear. You will scold me, so it's better to be more polite.
"Huan'er, Qingyao's villa is about to be repaired. You can ask me what you want!" Shao She was busy changing the topic and said with a smile.
"I don't want anything, how about giving me Duoduo?" Shao Shuhuan said with a smile.
"Duoduo? It's yours?" Shao She said lightly, "If you like it, put her in the room. I see that the child is smart and looks good, so it's good to put him in the room to serve you. I have followed me over the years and have known a few words. "I'll discuss it later!" Shao Shuhuan said hurriedly.
"What about something else?" Shao She asked.
"What else?" Shao Shuhuan shook his head. He wouldn't give anything else, even if he wanted it, so why bother to speak?
"How is Huan'er's injury?" Shao She asked suddenly.
"It's almost healed..." Shao Shuhuan didn't understand what he suddenly asked about this, but just agreed vaguely.
"Well, Huan'er has never left the capital. I am thinking about traveling to Jiangnan or begging His Majesty to send someone else?" Shao She asked tentatively.
"It is precisely because I have never left the capital that I want to go to Jiangnan to see it. Besides, the weather in Jiangnan is warm, and now it is spring again, which is a great time to visit. I think that this is the case. If you can handle it, you can't handle it. In fact, Your Majesty will not blame me. It's just that I went to Jiangnan to relax." Shao Shuhuan understood what he meant. After all, Shao She was still worried about him.
"My father is too worried. We are all so old. We will naturally take good care of ourselves." Shao Shuhuan said after pausing.
Shao She heard the word "we" in his tone, and his heart trembled, and after a while, he said, "It seems that you are still worried about your father when you grow up."
After hearing this, Shao Shuhuan felt very uncomfortable and whispered: "Father is really worried about me?"
"Of course!" Shao She nodded. Seeing that the two of them were in the room, he said, "Your Majesty will openly ask me and the Minister of Personnel in the Imperial Study room for your opinion of you--he loves you very much, but the royal heritage is not achieved by love. Huan'er Qingyao Villa was originally a royal garden. If you want, you can be free and easy from now on."
Shao Shuhuan shook his head slowly. Free and easy? He originally thought. If he did not raise his identity clearly, he could rely on the favor of Emperor Zhou, and the support of King An, and become a wealthy idle person from now on. However, now it has not been possible. Emperor Zhou repeatedly expressed his views, asking him to make a profit, want him to take it, and want him to rob it.
When Emperor Zhou looked at him, his eyes always had an indescribable helplessness. At the beginning, he couldn't understand Emperor Zhou's attitude, and even thought that he just wanted to borrow him to sharpen the prince. However, when Emperor Zhou asked him to go to Jiangnan, he understood that Emperor Zhou was not trying to sharpen the prince, but wanted him to fight directly.
"My father, I have no way to retreat." Shao Shuhuan shook his head slowly and whispered, "I don't want to force my father, I also hope that my father will not force me. I think that I have called you for so many years, begging my father - when the two of them don't help each other, Shuhuan will be grateful."
Shao She sighed, and when it comes to this, he was not convenient for him to say anything. Shao Shuhuan smiled and said lightly: "Look at who is capable... Maybe Shuhuan will die very early. Didn't his father often say that Shuhuan is too smart, so he doesn't live long?"
Shao She turned his head and did not dare to look at his handsome face. Shao Shuhuan walked to him and leaned in his ear and whispered: "Does my father think that the prince will tolerate his father in the future? Will he tolerate the Shao family?"
With a crisp "clang" sound, the teacup in Shao She's hand fell to the ground and shattered immediately.
Shao Shuhuan deliberately said "ah" and was busy asking the eunuch to come in and clean up. Wang Tai asked, "What's wrong?"
"I accidentally missed." Shao Shuhuan explained.
Shao She's face was pale and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Shao Shuhuan immediately ordered the imperial kitchen to pass on the meal, add wine and food, and ask Shao She to make it. Shao She used some casually, but he felt that he was unwilling to eat.
After dinner, Shao Shuhuan personally cooked tea, picked up some spring flowers and autumn moons, and joked with him. He waited until it was late, so he ordered the eunuch to send him out of the palace.
"Is there a carriage waiting outside?" Shao Shuhuan asked in a low voice, holding Shao She.
"Yes!" Shao She nodded, smiled bitterly, and suddenly whispered in a low voice at the gate of Jingyang Palace, "I think of raising you for the rest of my life, leave me a way out!" He had turned around and walked out.
Shao Shuhuan didn't say anything, just stared at his back in a daze, leaving him a way out, wouldn't he leave a dead end for himself?
But Shao She returned to Shao Mansion and just sat down in the study, he saw Shao Lan leading Shao Ting, Shao Mei, and Shao Lan to pay tribute. Shao She asked, "It's so late, haven't you rested yet?"
Shao Lan first walked up to Shao She, lifted her clothes and knelt down and said, "Waiting for my father."
Seeing this, Shao She understood that something was wrong and nodded, "Get up and talk about it if you have something to do!"
Seeing this, Shao Lan said, "I heard that my father gave me marriage yesterday?" Now that he is not in the Eastern Palace, the affairs in the palace are not as good as before.
"It's just a casual word." Shao She shook her head and said.
"But now there are rumors outside that his father poisoned his wife and wanted to marry the princess?" Shao Lan lowered his head, dared not look at Shao She, and whispered.
"Nonsense!" Shao She was not angry and said lightly, "It's just a rumor. How can my husband and I have been with us for so many years?"
"It's really strange that my mother died!" Suddenly, Shao Lan whispered, "Don't be upset, my mother has always been in good health, why did she suffer a stroke after drinking a few glasses of wine?"
Shao She glanced at her up and down and asked coldly: "So, you four are suspicious of me for wealth and prosperity. If you want to marry a princess, you will force your mother to death?"
"No!" Shao Lan looked up and looked at Shao She and said, "My father, we are not suspicious of you - this afternoon, the four of us asked the maids and aunts who served our mother. They learned that on the night of her mother's death, Shuhuan went to her room alone. That night, her mother went.
My mother was gone, Shuhuan never felt any grief. He even openly advised his father to marry another person, even saying... There are three major happy events in middle age, the only thing is to get promoted and make money and die... So..."
"Enough!" Shao She suddenly stood up and said angrily, "So, do you suspect that Shuhuan killed your mother?"
"Father!" Shao Lan said hurriedly, "Don't scare my sister, father, but Shuhuan and his mother have always been disagreeable. They have lived at home these days and have never set foot in their mother's room. But he went alone the night before his mother was sick. Moreover, there was no one in his mother's room at the beginning, so no one could doubt it. Besides, his actions afterwards were too much."
"Lan'er, you must pay attention to evidence and not talk nonsense!" Shao She said, "This is not the last court, you can make perjury. Also, now that he is not at home, he doesn't have to do anything to frame the problem."
"Father, I ordered someone to search Qixiayuan today-" Shao Lan said lightly, "I found nothing."
"What?" Shao She was furious when he heard this, "When will you be able to make a better future? You actually searched Qixiayuan stupidly?"
"My father is protecting Shao Shuhuan." Suddenly, Shao Ting cried, "Now that even his mother is dead, is his father going to marry a stepmother to discipline us?"
When Shao She heard this, he was angry and hated. Why did he raise such a confused son?
"Don't say that Shu Huan will not kill your mother. Even if he really wants to do it, will he still leave the handle in Qixiayuan for you to search? Besides, even if you find something, what can you do to him? He is the prince now. His Highness Huan, and even if I go to Jingyang Palace to see him, His Majesty agreed and informed him first." Shao She said, "You are so confused. Your Majesty's marriage is just a political trick to win over the court officials. You actually think of it like this? Besides, Shu Huan and your mother are not in harmony, and your mother is gone, so he will naturally not be hurt. He is too happy, so why is he hurt?"
