The prince stopped in front of the door of Xie Fang Hall.

Liu Jin had been kneeling for so long that his lips were so chapped that he crawled to the prince as if grasping a life-saving straw.

A cry full of tears, "Your Highness, Your Highness, this slave knows that I was wrong, please spare this slave!"

"You know you're wrong? Where did you go wrong?"

Liu Jin's old and ugly face was covered with fear and tears, and she murmured: "Slave... I shouldn't secretly convey news from the East Palace."

His head was buried very deep and very low.

"As for what happened today, your Highness, please take a closer look. It was Ping An who was talking nonsense and trying to get involved with this slave."

"Okay, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense now." Zhu Houzhao was not satisfied with the answer, kicked him away, and walked away.

"Your Highness!" He shouted hoarsely, but there was no reply, and his heart was filled with despair.

Zhang Yong, who was following behind, was also held in his hand.

"Zhang Yong! If you tell me the truth, how about peace of mind?!"

Zhang Yong was helpless, I really don’t know what he was insisting on, "Ping An has not confessed yet. However, His Highness said that between you two, whoever confesses first will live, and whoever confesses last will die. I have already begged for your favor, but His Highness has already changed his mind.

Decision."

Liu Jin looked ashen. No matter what relationship Ping An had with him, could she still trust him in the face of life and death?

"Your Highness is going to see the Emperor. I will explain to His Highness when he comes back."

"Can……"

Zhang Yong sighed,

This is confusing to the authorities but clear to bystanders.

"Do you think His Highness really cares about Zhang Tianrui?"

Liu Jin didn't quite understand what he said. For this so-called truth about Zhang Tianrui, His Highness showed unprecedented anger, used unprecedented methods, and even issued death threats to him.

Don't you care at all?

"Zhang Tianrui obviously does not please His Highness. Whether he is good or bad has nothing to do with His Highness. What His Highness cares about is whether you are very sincere and loyal. We always say that we have been in love with His Highness for many years.

Now after so many years of friendship, there is still something hidden from him? What do you want His Highness to think? Your Highness's heart is also full of flesh."

Liu Jin was comforted by a few words and gradually regained her ability to think, "So, Your Highness will not kill me?"

"His Highness Zhang Tianrui will not kill you for Zhang Tianrui, but if you still don't explain, His Highness will kill you as an insincere slave. Your Highness is letting us understand that it is useless no matter how strong we weave other relationships with other people, that peace

How was it when I served you in the past, but can you really trust him now? Therefore, in the palace, the only person you and I can rely on is your highness."

Liu Jin also hid something about Li Guang in her heart.

He understands now,

That was also a trick deliberately set by His Highness.

In fact, these two things have the same purpose,

Just let him understand that in this Forbidden City, except relying on the prince, any path you, Liu Jin, take will be a dead end!

Your Highness,

What a deep scheming!

"His Highness said that letting you kneel has other uses. I don't think he is punishing you entirely because of this matter, so as long as you are honest with His Highness, it shouldn't be a big problem." Zhang Yong patted his shoulder, "You think about it again

Think about it. Besides, you and I both know what our His Highness is like, so from now on...be more honest."

After saying this, Zhang Yong quickly got up and left. He couldn't stay too long as he had to go to Qianqing Palace.

Liu Jin was left alone in the autumn wind, her thoughts completely confused.

He was speechless,

What kind of chess is your Highness playing? Thinking about it carefully, according to what Zhang Yong said, he is very loyal and sincere.

His Highness should have planned tests and trials for him a long time ago.

It’s just that I have been looking for an opportunity, and Wang Hao came to offer this opportunity.

So His Highness immediately took advantage of it, and then based on the few kind words he said to Li Guang, he knew that there might be a secret connection between him and Li Guang.

So I set a trap for him to offend Li Guang and cut off this connection.

As for borrowing Zhang Tianrui... His Highness really doesn't care about Zhang Tianrui, so it's just an opportunity to test him.

Now it is said that there is a third level of purpose, is kneeling useful?

What use does his kneeling have on the situation?

Can't figure it out.

He might have been able to figure it out at another time, but now he was so anxious that he couldn't figure it out clearly. There was only one thing that was clear: the prince's mind was very deep and terrifying.

The only good thing is that he had time to inform Li Guang again, but he didn't go. If he had gone, his impression in His Highness's heart would probably be irreversible. He would probably die a few times.

…

…

Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi was tired after a hard day's work and stretched a few times.

"A few days ago, I occasionally felt unwell. Thanks to Eunuch Li who prayed for me. Although I have been a little tired these past few days, my health is not serious."

The old eunuch Li Guang is in Qianqing Palace.

He has white hair, a thin body, and a long face that is gentle and kind. He really has a fairy-like air.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and has the aura of a dragon. Ordinary ghosts and evil things would not dare to invade. No matter how capable I am, no one else would be able to get this blessing."

"Haha, your mouth is really good at talking."

"My servant made another hexagram yesterday, and the hexagram revealed that Your Highness has been blessed in more than one way recently."

"Oh? Any other happy events?"

"Happy to the East," the old eunuch murmured mysteriously.

"Dongfang?" The emperor chewed for a while and then he understood, "You mean the East Palace?"

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince has been loyal, filial, benevolent, intelligent and courteous recently. Although he is seven years old, he is more than seven years old. Isn't this a spirit from heaven that has sent joy to the royal family? Saints often say that the emperor has great virtues. It’s auspicious. Isn’t this proof?”

This old eunuch is quite capable.

No wonder he was able to gain the emperor's trust,

The logic makes sense. Confucianism is always telling you that if the emperor has no moral character, God will bring disaster. Now that the emperor has unparalleled saintliness, God will naturally bring blessings!

Emperor Hongzhi believed in this. After listening to it, he felt a sudden realization, oh, that’s it! That’s really all my fault.

"Although my Li Guang is not a flying general, he is not inferior to a flying general!"

"My slave, thank you for your praise!"

"Your Majesty," Xiao Jing came over at this moment, "Your Highness is here."

"Quick announcement." The emperor was extremely excited.

Zhu Houzhao saluted as usual, and then Hongzhi introduced Li Guang to him.

This was also the first time he met Li Guang.

To be honest, no one would have a bad feeling about such a white-haired old man with an otherworldly temperament.

"Zhao'er, just now Eunuch Li said that the East Palace is blessed with great blessings. His prayers are also part of this, so you should also be grateful."

"Thank you Eunuch Li." When Zhu Houzhao said this, his heart sank.

How can we overturn the emperor's happiness and trust? This is a real problem.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be polite." Li Guang also showed a very friendly attitude, "My humble tricks are not worth mentioning. I rely on Your Majesty and His Highness's holy virtues. I heard that Your Highness has been widely praised recently and is very popular. Yes.

This prince is a blessing to our royal family in the Ming Dynasty, and a blessing to the whole world. In the future, I am willing to do my best for His Highness, but if you have the motivation, I can do anything."

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao probably knew that Liu Jin did not report the news later.

Then he ran to the emperor's side, showing a sense of distance from Li Guang: "My son only knows that my father is generous and righteous, diligent and loves the people. If my son is lucky, it is my father's virtue that inspired God..."

These words changed the expressions of the emperor, Li Guang and Xiao Jing present!
