Chapter 1091 Greeting His Highness the Crown Prince
Chapter 1091 Welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince
After much thought, He Kun always felt that something was wrong.
He couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, although the rebellion has been decided now, there is no guarantee that there will be no people fishing in troubled waters involved. It is really inconvenient for Your Highness to go out at this time. Why don't you go and let Mr. Ge come to the East Palace?"
"
Li Chen glanced at He Kun and said calmly: "Just prepare for what I say. Don't question my decision."
He Kun's heart tightened.
Since the prince insists on going to the Zhao Mansion in person and refuses to even let Zhao Xuanji come to the East Palace, it means that what the prince and Zhao Xuanji want to talk about this time is very confidential, and this is an attitude.
An attitude that tells the world that Donggong will not touch Elder Ge for the time being.
The signal expressed by this attitude is enough to make those who are closely watching the situation in Beijing think about it for a long time.
He Kun didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he responded and quickly ran to get ready.
As soon as He Kun walked away, Wan Jiaojiao ran to the Xi Zheng Hall on the back.
"Your Highness, let me serve your Highness." Wan Jiaojiao said.
Li Chen glanced at Wan Jiaojiao's weak and swollen eyes and asked, "Didn't you sleep last night?"
Wan Jiaojiao lowered her head and said, "This slave can't sleep."
"It's also human nature."
Li Chen said calmly: "I am going out for a trip, so you should not go with me. Today Dongchang is mourning your godfather. He only has your daughter as a relative, so you should go to support the spirit. Go ahead."
With that said, Li Chen handed a piece of paper to Wan Jiaojiao and said: "I can't go, so take this with you and give it to Chen Tong so that he can find a craftsman to carve it into a monument immediately. This can be regarded as a farewell to him. It's over.
This relationship between master and servant."
Wan Jiaojiao saw the paper handed over by Li Chen with a line of large characters that read "Loyal and brave, the tomb of Wandongsheng, Wuding Marquis of the Great Qin Empire" and the seal of the Crown Prince of the Great Qin Empire at the signature. She knew that this was written by His Highness the Crown Prince to his godfather.
The inscription on the tombstone also gave the four words "loyalty, martyrdom and bravery", which is already a supreme honor.
Wan Jiaojiao's heart felt sour and warm at the same time, but her emotions were extremely complicated.
She took the piece of paper with both hands, knelt down and kowtowed three times to Li Chen seriously.
Li Chen didn't stop him.
These three heads were kowtowed by Wan Jiaojiao as her daughter.
He deserves it.
"Go ahead."
Seeing that He Kun had appeared outside the hall door, Li Chen rubbed Wan Jiaojiao's head and walked out.
Behind her, Wan Jiaojiao clutched the piece of paper tightly, tears streaming down her face.
After being served by He Kun and getting into the carriage, Li Chen sat in the carriage and listened to the shouts from outside that the prince was driving.
Countless masters, both covertly and covertly, escorted the convoy and followed it around. The convoy was swaying as it left the East Palace and headed straight for the Zhao Mansion.
When they arrived at the place, Li Chen got off the carriage.
He looked up at the majestic Zhao Mansion's courtyard. At this moment, the main door of the mansion had been opened, and Zhao Xuanji, dressed in plain clothes, was standing behind the door.
"Old minister Zhao Xuanji, respectfully welcome His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Chen walked up the steps, nodded and said, "Let's go in and talk."
Zhao Xuanji cupped his hands, followed Li Chen half a step, and the two of them walked into the mansion together.
The Ouchi guards and the Habayashi guards spread out and surrounded the Zhao Mansion. This was to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
In the dark, there were countless Jin Yiwei setting up a dragnet to ensure that no one could get in and disturb the secret conversation between the prince and the elder.
Even though Li Chen decided to make this trip suddenly without any prior preparation, when he entered the Zhao Mansion, many spies saw this scene and spread the news to their master.
It was still windy and rainy outside, but inside, Li Chen was already sitting in Zhao Xuanji's study.
