Chapter 2920 I think I've seen you somewhere
It was not until this moment that several ministers realized the emperor's true emotions.
I was just overwhelmed by the greed in my heart, but now it’s like being splashed with a bucket of cold water, and I calmed down instantly.
The leading minister knelt down on the spot and tremblingly tried to defend himself.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am simply worried that the Crown Prince's whereabouts are unknown and that this is destabilizing the foundation of the nation."
Several other people followed behind and knelt down together, not daring to say a word.
The emperor did not speak either, and for a moment the Yangxin Palace was eerily quiet.
Shi Li couldn't help but hold her breath, fearing that she would be implicated.
In this suffocating silence, a clear child's voice broke the silence, and everyone couldn't help but look back.
The tenth prince appeared at the entrance of the Yangxin Palace with a bewildered look on his face, looking curiously at the people kneeling on the ground.
Shi Li's gaze stayed briefly on the Tenth Prince, then shifted to the steward. Although he was standing outside the hall and didn't approach, Shi Li still guessed that he had found a way to lure the Tenth Prince here.
For a moment, Shi Li felt that the steward had really lost his mind.
This kind of thing that has something to do with the struggle for the throne, is he really allowed to get involved? The emperor is not a tyrant, he is even a wise ruler who is decisive and ruthless. How dare he make such a move under his nose? Do you think he is not dying fast enough?
Seeing the Tenth Prince, the Emperor's solemn mood suddenly eased a lot. He raised his hand and beckoned to the Tenth Prince, "Come here."
The tenth prince immediately walked to the emperor with his short legs and grabbed the emperor's sleeve with one hand.
The ministers below all breathed a sigh of relief.
"You guys go back first." The emperor also let go of several ministers temporarily because of the sudden appearance of the tenth prince.
This was simply a narrow escape from death. Several ministers did not dare to say a single word and quickly left the Yangxin Palace.
But they didn't see the look in the emperor's eyes when he looked at them from behind.
"Little boy, go out and close the palace door."
At this time, the emperor gave Shi Li another order.
Shi Li did not dare to delay at all. He bent his body and slowly walked out of the Yangxin Palace, gently closing the door with both hands.
As soon as he turned around, he met the steward's complicated gaze.
"Butler." Shi Li nodded to him, then stepped aside. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the butler seemed to open his mouth, but he didn't say the last word.
Naturally, she pretended not to see anything and stood sideways in her own position.
Behind the door, the emperor held the tenth prince on his knees and gently stroked his head.
"Why did you suddenly come here?"
"Butler Xu called me." The Tenth Prince blinked his eyes and answered very honestly.
In fact, when the emperor asked the previous question, he had already roughly guessed the answer in his heart. Now that it was confirmed by the tenth prince, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
There is still no news about the prince in Jiangnan.
There were heated discussions about this matter every day in the court, but after several ministers learned from the previous experience, no one dared to mention the idea of appointing another crown prince.
Harmony is rare among the people.
But as long as there is no definite news about the prince, the emperor's mood will not ease, and the ministers will have to rack their brains to find a solution.
But no matter what other method we have, the imperial palace is thousands of miles away from Jiangnan, so we can only worry.
The tense atmosphere lasted for half a month.
Shi Li got up early and walked out of the house in a daze. At first, she was dazzled by the scorching sunlight. She raised her hands to block her eyes and looked at the blue sky. She inexplicably felt that with such good weather today, good things would definitely happen.
No basis, pure intuition.
[I don't know what's going on with the prince, I'm a little worried~]
[Yes, yes, that's a good prince 0 0]
Worry +1
Danmu also followed Shi Li's discussion all the way. When he arrived at the Yangxin Palace, he happened to meet the head of the guards striding towards him from outside.
The two had met each other many times, and the head guard simply nodded at Shi Li.
"Eunuch Shi, please see His Majesty."
"My lord, please wait a moment."
Shi Li knew that he had just returned from Jiangnan, and she almost couldn't help but ask directly if there was any news about the prince, but she always remembered her identity and didn't ask any more questions.
The emperor had just stood up in the Yangxin Palace. When he heard that the head guard wanted to see him, he paused for a moment and said without hesitation, "Let him in."
It seems that the emperor also guessed that there might be news about the prince.
Shi Li hurried out to fetch someone. The head guard strode in, knelt on one knee before the emperor, and without further ado, said directly, "Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission and have found the crown prince."
As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor was obviously relieved, and Shi Li also breathed a sigh of relief.
The dark clouds that had shrouded the palace for many days suddenly dissipated.
