Chapter 857 The vicious woman who poisoned her husband 25
"My husband did a good thing today~"
In the carriage, Shu Jiao smiled and grabbed Ji Hefu's arm.
Ji Hefu's slightly drooped eyebrows were filled with helplessness, "That's all thanks to Madam's kindness. If Madam didn't want to take care of this trivial matter, why would I have such compassion?"
Is he a good guy?
Apart from anything else, Ji Hefu is aware of his own nature.
"I'm afraid my husband will be busy again when he returns this time."
"really."
"Business matters."
Shu Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly, but applied a little force with her fingertips as she poked Ji Hefu's arm.
Ji Hefu stretched out his hand and half-hugged her waist, "It is indeed important to do business. I have to inconvenience you, Madam. Please bear with the loneliness for the time being. After this busy period, I will definitely make it up to you, Madam."
Next, he had to be busy supporting the prince to commit the crime of "rebellion and regicide".
It will be busy indeed.
Since Shu Jiao mentioned this, he would first apologize and appease his wife.
Shu Jiao tilted her head and opened her mouth to gently bite his neck.
Ji Hefu's breathing became disordered for a moment, and then he chuckled, his eyes full of likes and even a bit of encouragement.
"Please be gentle, ma'am."
Ji Hefu whispered, "I will go to see the emperor the day after tomorrow and ask him to tease me again."
Upon hearing this, Shu Jiao took two more bites.
Ji Hefu just smiled.
The two of them wandered back home, and when they entered the house, they happened to meet a servant cleaning the yard.
And that servant...
"Husband, why do you have to come back today? Don't you still have one day off?"
Shu Jiao suddenly asked.
Ji Hefu glanced at the servant imperceptibly, and said in a low but clear voice: "There is no other way. The emperor summoned me urgently, so I have to go back."
"It's always like this."
"Madam, please don't be upset. This is about the Crown Prince, so the Emperor cannot help but be anxious and careful..."
The following words were already somewhat blurred in the noisy cold wind.
but!
The servant heard the four words "It concerns the Crown Prince" clearly.
wow~
Nothing!
What did the Xuanwei Division or the Emperor find out about the Crown Prince? Why did they ask the Emperor to urgently recall Ji Hefudu, who was on leave?
No!
This news must be passed on to the master immediately.
However, they didn't know that Shu Jiao and Ji Hefu, who had entered the room earlier, just exchanged glances and the corners of their lips curled up.
"Madam, are you trying to alert the enemy?"
Ji Hefu asked with a smile.
"Isn't it my husband?"
Shu Jiao raised her eyebrows slightly, "Either way or another, something bad is going to happen to the prince, why do we have to wait until New Year's Eve?"
After that, she gently pushed Ji Hefu down, put her fingertips on his chest and circled back and forth, and said leisurely: "New Year's Eve is such a good time. How can you and I waste it on those who are not here?"
Outsiders: The prince, his family, and his close allies.
When the time comes, Ji Hefu will lead the people from the Xuanwei Division to deal with this group of people.
If they really waited until New Year's Eve, Ji Hefu would be too busy to do anything during the New Year. She didn't want to be affected by these trivial matters during the New Year.
"What Madam said is absolutely true."
Ji Hefu agreed.
Say.
If we really wait until the New Year's Eve Palace Banquet to take action...
By that time, all civil and military officials, royal family members and nobles would be in the palace, with so many people and eyes, and the workload would be too huge.
It’s better to do it as soon as possible!
This is what Ji Hefu thought, and this is what he did.
While increasing the dosage of medicine for the crown prince, he also tried his best to fan the flames in front of Emperor Kang Zheng, and also spread rumors to instigate a fight between the crown prince and several princes.
I waited like this for half a month.
Ji Hefu entered the palace on a snowy night and urgently reported the fact that the prince was planning to rebel in three days.
Emperor Kang Zheng: ...
"Ha~"
Emperor Kang Zheng was so angry that he laughed, "It's almost New Year's Eve, and that rebellious son can't even wait for a little while?"
"Why? After New Year's Eve, the new year will be just the right time for the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the coronation ceremony of the new emperor, right?"
Ji Hefu remained silent.
But Emperor Kang Zheng was really angry. He sat on the chair and cursed for a long time before he said, "Wait until that rebellious son leaves the palace, then you bring people to hold him down and bring him here."
"Don't make a big fuss."
If the fuss gets too big, it will be embarrassing for him as the emperor.
It damages the royal reputation.
"Yes."
Ji Hefu lowered his head in response, then raised his head slightly, his eyes moving slightly, revealing an expression that said "there is something he wants to say, but hesitant".
Emperor Kang Zheng took a look and felt his heart sink.
No way?
Could there be something bigger?
Emperor Kang Zheng prepared himself mentally for several seconds before he said, "If you have anything else, tell me all at once."
He wanted to see how chaotic things could get.
"The Third Prince seems to be... also making some unusual moves."
Ji Hefu said in a deep voice: "When I was investigating the Crown Prince, I accidentally found the Third Prince's spy. The Third Prince may have known about the Crown Prince's rebellion."
The third prince has had a hard time in the past six months.
The prince hated him and would find fault with him for no reason.
The emperor thought he was ambitious, so he would bring him up to compete with the prince every now and then. After that, when he had nothing else to do, he would help him find two enemies.
Ji Hefu would cause him trouble from time to time.
How miserable.
Forced to join the battle for succession, he lost a lot of weight.
Emperor Kang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Knowing but not reporting?
how?
Waiting to pick up a bargain? Waiting to be the "fisherman" who benefits from the conflict between the snipe and the clam?
Emperor Kang Zheng suddenly felt a little tired and raised his hand to rub his forehead. "Ji Hefu, tell me, how come I raised so many rebellious sons?!"
Ji Hefu: ...
This is not something he can say.
But if you really want to say it, it’s all because of your incompetence as a father.
He was good at being an emperor, but not so good at being a father.
What kind of father would treat his son as an imaginary enemy and torture him to death all day long?
The prince has endured until now before rebelling. If you ask him, it means he loves you as his father deeply!
I just thought so, but I definitely can't say it that way.
After all, Ji Hefu still wants to live.
He had no choice but to flatter Emperor Kang Zheng, saying that he was the emperor, the whole world was on his shoulders, and he was busy...
No matter what you say, Emperor Kang Zheng was not at fault at all.
He could only blame others for leading the prince astray, for the princes' ignorance and for hurting the loving heart of this old father...
Hearing this, Emperor Kang Zheng's mood gradually improved.
Then Ji Hefu withdrew.
The next day, he entered the Xuanwei Division and selected a group of trusted men to take with him to reap the credit.
At the same time, in the East Palace, even the birds that occasionally flew down were affected by the solemn and tense atmosphere in the palace and flew away quickly.
The prince sat in the study, wiping the sharp green sword, but his eyes were directed towards the towering palace.
Throne.
Dragon throne!
He couldn't wait any longer.
He knew that the day of rebellion would be set somewhat hastily.
But there is no way.
His good father has already found out about him. Ji Hefu has been entering the palace more and more frequently in recent days. And his "good third brother"...
The prince thought that if he didn't take action now, he would never have another chance.
Once things are done, everything will be easy.
If things don't work out, he'll have to find a scapegoat!
