The heavens are kings, starting with Qing Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 82 Coping
The marriage contract between Lin Wan'er and Fan Xian was alluded by Emperor Qing himself. She didn't tell Emperor Qing, but went directly to the Empress Dowager, which means that the Empress Dowager did not agree, otherwise Emperor Qing would be in a dilemma?
Moreover, it is a big taboo for her to report by leapfrogging, so Emperor Qing's words seem to be comforting, but they are actually a blatant warning.

Li Yunrui panicked, knelt down quickly, and said with a bit of tears: "I just don't want Wan'er to marry a countryman."

Emperor Qing frowned, his eyes gradually fell on Li Yunrui, and he said with a tone of disgust: "You can speak directly if you have something to say, why bother to ruin his reputation outside?"

Li Yunrui raised his head slightly, and asked in confusion: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Don't understand?" Emperor Qing glanced at her expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice, "Gong Dian."

Outside the hall, Gong Dian strode forward, bowed and said: "The minister is here."

"Go and find out, who sent the one out of the palace to purchase today!"

Emperor Qing said lightly.

"Yes!"

Gong Dian responded, turned around and left calmly.

For a moment, the hall was quiet, Li Yunrui knelt quietly, and Emperor Qing was reviewing the memorial in his hand.

After a while, Emperor Qing seemed to notice Li Yunrui who was kneeling on the ground, sighed softly, and said, "Sit down."

Li Yunrui saluted calmly, then stood up with the support of Eunuch Hou, and knelt down on the kneeling mat beside him.

So, after waiting quietly for a while, Gong Dian hurriedly returned to the hall, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands, and said, "I would like to inform your majesty, the one who arranged to purchase today is the Han female history of the Shang Palace Bureau."

"Where are people?" Emperor Qing asked in a cold voice without raising his head.

Gong Dian paused slightly, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, he is missing. And there is no record of going out of the palace."

Emperor Qing's eyes froze, his pen trembled, he smiled softly, and said in an inexplicable tone: "Oh, I disappeared again. Within a day, dozens of court ladies did not see people dead or corpses. Is this still a heavily guarded palace?"

Unlike those court ladies outside, it is not an easy matter to make a court lady disappear silently in the palace.

In the palace, there are Yan Xiaoyi who is at the top of the ninth rank, and Hong Sixiang who is at the peak of the ninth rank. People can die in the palace, but it is very difficult to get out of the palace.

Hearing this, Gong Dian kowtowed suddenly, and said in panic: "It's my negligence, please forgive me!"

As the commander of the palace, everything in the palace is under his protection. If a court lady can disappear today, what about tomorrow?
What if someone sneaked into the emperor's side one day, and the emperor disappeared without a sound?
Li Yunrui quietly bent the corners of his mouth, then remained silent without saying a word.

Emperor Qing glanced at Li Yunrui lightly, then at Gong Dian kneeling on the ground, and said: "Forget it, let's go down."

Gong Dian bowed back with a heavy expression, but the moment he turned around and walked out of the palace gate, he made up his mind to check the big inside.

He didn't believe that without a thief inside, it was possible for a court lady who had no record of leaving the palace to disappear without a sound.

Emperor Qing could forgive him once or twice, but he would never forgive him a third time.

He had to make achievements in order to restore his position in Emperor Qing's heart.

After Gong Dian left, Li Yunrui asked with a smile: "Does Your Majesty want to ask about the relationship between Han Nvshi and me? Or do you want to ask me where Han Nvshi is now? If Your Majesty asks, I will answer if I know."

Emperor Qing's face was expressionless, his eyes showed a bit of fatigue, and he said lightly, "Are you tired?"

The unspoken meaning is, is it interesting to act all day long?

Li Yunrui replied with a smile still: "I spend all day in the palace raising generals, and rarely go back to the princess mansion, so I don't feel tired."

"Oh, that's good, then just sit and wait." Emperor Qing didn't bother to say much, so he looked at the memorial in his hand again.

Not long after, Eunuch Hou came in from the outside, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the crown prince has arrived."

Li Yunrui's heart tightened slightly, while Emperor Qing said lightly: "Xuan!"

After saying that, Li Chengqian walked slowly from outside the hall, looked at each other calmly with Li Yunrui, then stood in front of Emperor Qing and bowed slightly: "I've seen Your Majesty, but I don't know why Your Majesty summoned you?"

Li Chengqian straightened up and stared at Emperor Qing with a calm expression on his face, without the slightest trace of the panic he showed two years ago.

Because the current Emperor Qing was no longer enough to pose too much threat to him.

With his great master's strength, even the imperial palace can leave whenever he wants, as for the crown prince.

If Emperor Qing abolished him, he could still take the road of rebellion.

Therefore, no matter what decision Emperor Qing made, it would not affect the final result, so why should he care too much?
Of course, if the crown prince is abolished, the process may be a little more tortuous.

But if it was a serious showdown, the three big money houses under him, which had already seen their influence for the first time, would be enough to make Emperor Qing dare not act rashly.

So, what is he afraid of?
Emperor Qing stared deeply at his increasingly unfamiliar prince, his eyes were deep, and he could not see the slightest emotion.

"Tell me, where did you get those maids?"

A look of appropriate surprise appeared on Li Chengqian's face, and he asked aloud, "Lady? What maid?"

Emperor Qing's eyes became deeper and deeper, and when he narrowed his eyes slightly, there was an invisible momentum crushing towards Li Chengqian.

The most noble and noble, but also full of turbulent domineering.

However, Li Chengqian still stood calmly, without any reaction.

Emperor Qing's eyes narrowed, and he said indifferently: "Today, there are maids in the palace who went out to buy, and all of them disappeared, and there is no trace of the Korean female history who arranged this matter in the palace. The prince doesn't know about this?"

Li Chengqian said slightly angrily: "Who dares to rob the court lady? How courageous!" Afterwards, he paused, looked at Emperor Qing and asked: "Your Majesty asked me to suspect that this is what my minister did?
Your Majesty, how could I do such a thing about the cholera palace?

Could it be that some traitor is provoking my father-son friendship? "

Emperor Qing watched Li Chengqian's performance expressionlessly, and called out: "Gong Dian, tell the prince about your speculation today."

Outside the hall, Gong Dian entered the hall for the third time. Hearing this, he immediately knelt down on the ground with a bang, sweating profusely.

In front of the prince, how dare he say that he suspects that the matter of the court lady is related to the East Palace?

However, when Emperor Qing opened his mouth, he also had to make a choice.

After a while, he said in a deep voice: "I suspect that it is the East Palace who uses the reputation of court ladies as villains."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was furious, took two steps forward, pulled out the weapon from Gong Dian's waist, and shouted: "As the commander-in-chief, he would bite the prince of a country without any evidence. What is the use of such a traitor?" ?”

After saying that, he suddenly swung his knife, intending to chop Gong Dian on the spot.

At this moment, even if he only used the strength of an ordinary person, Gong Dian, who was an eighth-rank master, did not dare to act rashly at all.
