It was clearly intended to arouse Emperor Long'an's dissatisfaction with King Qin.
Sure enough, Emperor Long'an looked slightly cold and said calmly: "I am here, accompanied by King Zhao of Han, and a group of officials accompanying me. There is nothing to worry about. When you go back, tell your father so that he can rest in peace and recover."
Thunder, rain and dew are all due to your kindness.
In the past, the King of Qin was the most respected by the emperor, and Zhu Yao, as the prince of Qin, was also very popular. Wherever he went, he was sought after by everyone. Now that the palace of the King of Qin has plummeted, Zhu Yao has to experience the warmth and coldness of human nature. No matter how bitter or cold his heart is, he has to
Swallow silently.
"My grandson has taken note of what the imperial grandfather said." Zhu Yao did not dare to show any resentment and dissatisfaction, and responded meekly: "My grandson will set off back early tomorrow morning."
It was already dark, and Zhu Yao could not be allowed to go back at night, so he had to stay in the palace for one night.
Emperor Long'an nodded slightly and softened his voice slightly: "That's fine. I haven't eaten the royal meal yet, so you can have dinner with me."
Zhu Yao hurriedly cheered up and responded.
The King of Han sneered in his heart.
The King of Qin could not get out of the King's Palace, so he sent his son to stay in the palace. Maybe he even wrote a touching letter for Zhu Yao to bring.
"My son and I will also have dinner with my father."
The King of Han personally took care of the emperor's food, clothing and daily life in the palace, and his filial piety was well-known. Emperor Long'an looked at his young son with a particularly gentle look: "Okay, you can stay too."
Zhu Yao's heart sank, and he suddenly had a not-so-good premonition.
Sure enough, with the King of Han constantly showing his attentiveness and filial piety, he didn't have many opportunities to talk to his imperial grandfather. The letter in his arms also stayed where it was, with no chance to take it out.
Zhu Yao thought of King Qin's previous instructions and became more and more anxious.
After the dinner was over, Emperor Long'an went to take a bath, change clothes and go to bed. Zhu Yao couldn't wait for the opportunity, so he had to take out the letter in front of the King of Han and presented it to Emperor Long'an: "Grandfather, my father wrote this letter himself.
Let your grandson bring this letter and ask your grandpa to read it."
That cruel and ruthless villain still has the nerve to write a letter!
Emperor Long'an's eyes flashed with coolness and he said nothing.
Eunuch Shen on the side looked at the emperor's face and did not move.
When the King of Han saw this scene, he became very calm and pretended to intercede for the King of Qin: "Father, my eldest brother has been ill for more than half a year and has never left the house. It is inevitable that he will be very restless. Since I wrote this letter, my father
Let’s take a look! Maybe after my father reads the letter, my brother’s illness will get better soon.”
The last sentence is extremely sinister.
Emperor Long'an's face suddenly darkened, and he said coldly: "No need to read it."
Then, he said to Zhu Yao: "Go back and tell your father that I did not hold him accountable for the things he had done. I only ordered him to stay home and recuperate. If he doesn't think about it anymore, don't blame me for not thinking about my father and son."
The cold sweat on Zhu Yao's forehead immediately fell down, and he knelt down with a plop: "Please calm down, Grandfather."
Emperor Long'an walked away without saying a word.
Zhu Yao knelt on the ground, still holding the letter written by King Qin in his hand.
The King of Han deliberately stayed, leaned down and looked at Zhu Yao, his eyes full of gloating: "Good nephew, it's not my fourth uncle who is ruthless. You also saw your emperor's grandfather's reaction just now. You can stay here overnight, but it's better to go early tomorrow.
Let’s set off back to Prince Qin’s Mansion!”
"When you go back, tell that good brother of mine to take good care of himself. Maybe after three to five years of taking care of him, his illness will be cured."
After saying that, he laughed and walked away.
Zhu Yao was so angry that his face turned pale and his whole body was trembling, as if his heart had fallen to the bottom of the valley.
Success and failure are like heaven and earth.
If the Qin Palace fails to recover, what should we do in the future?
Not to mention the King of Qin, even he, the eldest son of the King of Qin, would never be willing to admit defeat!
…
The next day, Zhu Yao left the palace with a haggard face after a sleepless night.
At this time, the news from the previous night had reached King Yan's ears.
"...The Crown Prince of Qin brought a letter from King Qin to the palace, but the King of Han interfered with it. The emperor did not read the letter at all."
Eunuch Yang reported in a low voice, glanced at King Yan with a pale expression, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, King Han's reputation for filial piety has spread far and wide recently, and he is deeply loved by the emperor. If this continues, it will be bad. Do you want to..."
"There is no rush for the moment." King Yan looked unpredictable and did not know whether he was happy or angry: "If the King of Han wants to jump, follow him first."
The higher you jump, the heavier you will fall when you fall.
Eunuch Yang shut up.
King Yan rubbed the jade ring in his hand, thought for a long time, and said slowly: "After finishing my business today, I will go to the Prince of Qin's Mansion."
What?
Eunuch Yang was startled and looked up at King Yan: "Your Highness is going to visit King Qin?"
Not only Emperor Long'an knew what King Qin had done, but also the important officials in the court had guessed it. King Yan almost died at the hands of assassins, so why should he be so tolerant and generous now and take the initiative to visit King Qin?
King Yan's eyes flashed slightly and he said unhurriedly: "I have my own thoughts."
Now that the master has made a decision, Eunuch Yang stopped speculating and just said yes in a low voice.
In the evening, King Yan left the palace and went to King Qin's Mansion.
The arrival of King Yan shocked everyone in the Qin Palace.
Princess Qin panicked and stood up reflexively: "Why is King Yan here?"
Eunuch Zhao, who came to report the news, said in a low voice: "I don't even know."
Princess Qin tightened the handkerchief in her hand, feeling confused.
King Qin set up a killing plan, and King Yan almost died on the river. It was precisely because of this that Emperor Long'an became furious, drove King Qin out of the court, and imprisoned him in the palace of King Qin.
There are many icing on the cake, but when times come when things are down and unlucky, there are very few people who are willing to come to the Prince of Qin's Mansion.
King Yan suddenly came to visit. What did he want to do?
"Does Your Highness know?" Princess Qin took a deep breath and asked.
Eunuch Zhao replied: "Your Highness already knows. Your Highness is still recovering from illness and it is inconvenient to get up to greet him. He specially sent his servants to ask the princess to greet his highness King Yan."
Since it is "recovering from illness", this fig leaf is always indispensable.
Princess Qin calmed down and stood up to greet her at the main entrance.
"I have met my sister-in-law," King Yan bowed his hands in salute.
Princess Qin made some concessions and said, "You don't have to be polite, Prince Yan. Please get up quickly." Her eyes quickly drifted away.
It's a pity that with her ability, she can't see into King Yan's thoughts.
King Yan seemed to be a good younger brother who cared about his elder brother. He said with concern: "My eldest brother has been recovering from illness. I was busy with official duties and had no time to visit before. I have some free time today, so I came here to visit my eldest brother."
Princess Qin hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said: "I'm sorry, my second brother, I'm sorry. Your Highness is no longer seriously ill. You can take care of him slowly."
King Yan nodded slightly: "I wonder where my eldest brother is now?"
"His Highness is in the study. However, His Highness is sick, and I'm afraid that he will pass on to his second brother. It's better to wait until His Highness recovers, and then my second brother can come again!"
King Yan had already come, how could he leave halfway and say, "Brothers are like brothers, there is no need to be taboo about these things" while entering the palace of King Qin.
