Chapter 261 Declaration
Eunuch Hai's attitude was very cold at first, but after taking the small bottle, his attitude immediately softened a lot.
After opening the bottle cork and pouring out a green pill, his stern face immediately turned into a happy smile.
He put the pill back in the bottle, corked it, and put it away quietly.
Then he said, "Your Highness, please think carefully. Have you done anything recently without telling the Empress?"
When Shi Jian heard this, he immediately thought of asking Lao Liao and Chen Tian to go to the border to capture Chen Xuan and An Ruxue.
But this is not a big deal.
Both Chen Xuan and An Ruxue are guilty.
Especially An Ruxue, who was about to be executed. If Chen Xuan hadn't saved her, she would probably be dead by now.
These two people are like two ants and are not worthy of the empress's attention at all.
It's impossible that he would be allowed to enter the palace just because of such a small matter, right?
If it weren't for this, then there would be nothing else.
Therefore, Shi Jian shook his head without even thinking, and said, "I've been doing my job honestly lately. I've either been listening to music in the East Palace brothels or working on disaster relief and helping the Empress solve her problems. I haven't done anything privately."
When Eunuch Hai heard this, he immediately shook his head in disappointment. For the sake of the elixir, he sighed and reminded:
"Your Highness, I believe what you say, but the Empress may not necessarily believe you. When it comes to the Empress, I think you'd better have a sense of what to say and what not to say!"
The subtext of this statement is, do you think I believe your lies?
How could Shi Jian not understand the meaning?
But he hasn't done anything big recently?
After thinking for a moment, Shi Jian asked, "The Empress summoned me, is it related to the Prince of Zhenxi's return to the capital?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Hai's eyes flashed and his attitude instantly turned cold: "Your Highness, be careful with your words. How did you know that the Prince of Zhenxi had returned to the capital?"
The fact that Prince Zhenxi returned to the capital secretly was not made public.
Moreover, the Prince of Zhenxi just returned to the capital, and you in the Eastern Palace knew about it right away?
Isn't the news a bit too well-informed?
It's hard not to suspect that your prince has planted people in the palace!
Shi Jian realized that he had accidentally said something wrong and felt extremely regretful.
But words once spoken are like water spilled, there is no way to regret this kind of thing.
He was secretly angry at his own broken mouth, but he forced a smile and said, "The King of Zhenxi is my uncle after all. It's only natural for me to care about him."
This was like a fart, so Eunuch Hai certainly didn't believe it. He said slowly, "Prince, please be careful with your words and actions in front of the Empress. I will pretend I didn't hear what you just said."
That being said, after tonight, some people in the palace will definitely be purged!
It can be said that Shi Jian's careless words directly killed a group of people!
Shi Jian bowed and smiled, "Please, sir, have mercy on me."
Eunuch Hai didn't respond to him and walked ahead. Shi Jian immediately followed, his heart sinking.
Looking at Eunuch Hai's background, a hint of hysterical hatred appeared in his eyes.
You, a dead eunuch, dare to act so arrogantly in front of me!
I am the prince!
It is outrageous that the prince has to smile at a eunuch!
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He was the crown prince, but he was living such a cowardly life!
Qin Mansion.
Lord Qin, the Minister of Rites, was deep in thought in his study at this moment.
"Strange, why is there no reply to the letter I sent?"
Lord Qin looked puzzled and puzzled.
Liu Jinyu is his man, and it is precisely because of his order that Liu Jinyu brought all the younger brothers in Liufeng Village to join Chen Xuan.
At the beginning, he could still receive letters from Liu Jinyu, who would report on Chen Xuan's situation every day.
However, there has been no news recently.
This made him feel a little confused.
He was confident that with his authority, Liu Jinyu would definitely not dare to betray him.
"Could it be that something happened to Chen Xuan?"
"Well, that should be the case. It seems that Liu Jinyu is in great danger."
"Haha, it seems I've been thinking too much. This Chen Xuan is so different from his father."
Lord Qin shook his head, a look of disappointment on his face. "What a shame! It seems that Chen Tianqiao's secret from those years will be sealed forever."
Chen Mansion.
"How come Chen Tian, this rebellious son, ended up hanging out with the Crown Prince?"
"This idiot, doesn't he know that the Empress has always been wary of the Crown Prince? He's close to the Crown Prince. If the Empress knew about this, how would she view my Chen clan?"
"If the Empress mistakenly believes that my Chen clan has a secret relationship with the Crown Prince, he will be harming my Chen clan!"
"Originally, because of Chen Tianqiao, the Empress was quite dissatisfied with my Chen clan. Fortunately, after Chen Tianqiao's death, my Chen clan immediately supported the Empress. After the Empress took the throne, she did not pursue us."
"But over the past twenty years, we can clearly feel that the Empress is ignoring us!"
"That idiot Chen Tian actually went to the border with the prince's men to look for Chen Xuan. Is he out of his mind?!"
The Chen clan's patriarch and several important figures in the clan were sitting together to discuss things.
Among them, Chen Tian’s father, his grandfather, and the Minister of Justice were also there!
They didn't know that Chen Tian had secretly gone to the border.
Or Chen Tian’s grandfather suddenly wanted to see him, but couldn’t find anyone, so he found Chen Tian’s trusted subordinate.
At first, the subordinates wanted to conceal it, hesitating and saying that Chen Tian had gone out to play.
After that, he immediately behaved himself and confessed everything.
"Send someone to get him back to me immediately!"
Angry voices were heard from the Chen clan.
"Homeowner!"
At this moment, a servant arrived at the door and said respectfully, "There is an imperial decree!"
"Imperial decree?"
All the members of the Chen clan came out immediately to receive the order.
As soon as he came out, he saw that it was the empress's confidant, Eunuch Hai.
This old eunuch will not show up easily. Once he shows up, it will definitely not be a trivial matter.
And behind Eunuch Hai, there was also Prince Shi Jian!
"The Empress has issued an order, summoning the Chen clan leader and the Minister of Justice to the palace for an audience!"
The patriarch of the Chen clan and Chen Tian’s grandfather, the Minister of Justice, are the two most powerful people in the Chen clan.
Now, they are all entering the palace to announce the imperial decree!
For a moment, everyone in the Chen clan could not help but look at each other.
What's happening here?
The empress was fine, why did she suddenly summon them?
Moreover, it seems that the prince will also enter the palace?
Is this a big deal?
Shi Jian never expected that Eunuch Hai would bring him to the Chen clan and summon the members of the Chen clan into the palace!
Could it be that the Empress summoned me because I sent people to capture Chen Xuan and An Ruxue?
Not so!
These two people are just insignificant people who cannot show up in public. Is it necessary to alarm the empress?
If it’s not because of the two of them, then what else could it be?
