The Captivating Crown Prince-Chapter 271
Chapter 271
“What’s going on with the Residence of State?” Shang, who was in no mood to sit in the study and read the paper, asked while twisting his neck. The long sitting still made Shang’s body feel uncomfortable.
Perhaps she once needed to find a good reason to make a move on the Duke’s estate for the sake of fame, but now that something like this had happened, Shang could not wait any longer. She had to get rid of this scourge as soon as possible.
Fearless immediately went up and rubbed his neck. The wound on his hand was much better due to Ye Yi Zhe’s concoction. Even though he couldn’t touch anything heavy, it was fine to do ordinary things.
“Strange to say, ever since the crown prince had returned, the Duke of Guo’s estate has been quiet and undisturbed. This subordinate has sent people to investigate the Duke of Guo’s estate, but the security there is very tight, so we can’t enter!” She also felt that it was a bit strange.
“Oh?” It seems that the Duke of Qing truly knows that I want his life! “I’m old, I’m old. I can’t believe I actually did something like running away!” But could the Duke of Qing really run away? He thought of the Duke of Qing, Shang, and recalled the man in the inn that day. “Did you find the whereabouts of Qing Li?” he asked.
Shang Bin had always liked to cut the grass at its roots. It was easy to deal with the other people in the Residence of the Duke of Guo, but the Qing Li that was rescued was still unknown. Although that man had never seen his face before, Shang had a bad feeling about such a dangerous person.
Dreadless lowered his head in shame, “Not yet!” Thinking about it, Dreadless felt that not killing such a person would be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain. He asked tentatively, “How about you tell the young masters that they can help you search for him?”
The current relationship between the Crown Prince and the other young masters was very good. She could tell that the Crown Prince would accept these young masters, and she could tell that the young masters were eager to help the Crown Prince in everything. Moreover, the influence of these young masters was much stronger than the one in the Crown Prince’s Palace.
Shang Wuxin lightly patted Dauntless’s hand that was rubbing his neck, his voice carried an inexplicable seriousness, “Dauntless, they are my men, I will be fine with their influence!” But who can truly rely on it for their entire life? ”
“But. She felt that even if the Crown Prince relied on a few young masters for the rest of his life, he wouldn’t complain or complain about it. However, she also knew that the Crown Prince was very cautious, so it was rare for him to sincerely accept these young masters. As for some things, they still needed time to verify.
“Has royal father lived well in the palace?” On the outside, it was because Emperor Shang was severely ill. The godly doctor was at the crown prince’s mansion, so Emperor Shang had requested for help from the crown prince’s mansion, but in reality, he only wanted the emperor to leave the palace. Shang had no intention to rule alone in the imperial court.
Of course, it was not like Shang Wuxin had no resistance in the court, but it was suppressed by Shang Wuxin. Although Shang Wuxin did not sit on a high throne, he was no different from the emperor, causing those who hated him to become more impatient.
Fearless was shocked when he thought of the crown prince’s father, the emperor, living in his mansion. Fortunately, even though the emperor was an emperor, he was not difficult to serve in his mansion.
“The Emperor has been living very well in the crown prince’s mansion. I heard that Eunuch Xu said that he ate more these days!” Of course, the food in the crown prince’s residence was not something ordinary people could compare to. The chef sent by Young Master Ye was even better than that of the imperial chefs, and even the secret guards of the mansion had their blessings.
Shang Xin knew that Shang was usually busy and quiet, hence did not disturb him. He had been busy for most of his life now, and had the time to rest, so he was happy and at ease.
At the same time, in the courtyard, Emperor Shang was drinking tea and listening to Eunuch Xu sing a little tune, feeling very satisfied. Although Eunuch Xu’s voice was sharp and unpleasant to hear, it was a different tune when he sang it. He had learned it from the Emperor when he was young and had never shown it in many years.
“Your Majesty, Madam Ye has come!” At this moment, a servant came to report. Although Emperor Shang had his own men, this was still the crown prince’s residence. Why would Emperor Shang’s subordinates come in? Other than Eunuch Xu and his subordinates, no one else was allowed in. <>
“Let her in!” Emperor Shang sneered. Perhaps it was because the two of them loved Shang more than any other person in the world, but the two of them were now as close as old friends. Of course, the two of them only felt that they were good friends, that they could drink tea together and chat, but they didn’t have any other thoughts. Yiyin only loved her husband and would never be moved by others. This was even more so for the emperor of Shang. However, because the two of them had no selfish feelings, they interacted more comfortably.
Yinyin walked in without even saluting and directly sat down, “You sure know how to enjoy life. You don’t even know how busy you are when it comes to tasting tea and listening to music!” Seeing how thin that child is, you don’t feel the slightest bit of heartache. Serves you right for not being close with you! ”
Even though Shang was very busy, even as the father of the emperor, he understood that it was not easy for his daughter. However, his daughter took the time to accompany Yi Yin for a meal. Sometimes, she would even chat with Yi Yin in her courtyard, while he did! He had been at the crown prince’s residence for so long, yet his daughter didn’t even bother to look at him! He didn’t know if this Yinyin was doing it on purpose or not, showing off her filial piety in front of him when there was nothing to do.
When Eunuch Xu saw the heaviness in the emperor’s chest, he hurried forward to help the emperor. After so many days, he had finally seen the light. The two of them were high and mighty people, but the older they were, the younger they were. Although Madam Ye was only a woman, she was able to infuriate Emperor Shang quite a bit when she returned. Eunuch Xu felt that the posture was familiar. It was only when he thought about it did he realize that Madam Ye’s actions were similar to those of the crown prince, making Emperor Shang feel helpless and angry at the same time.
“How can a woman like you be like this! Don’t you have your own son? Why are you always looking for my daughter? Hmph, no matter what, she’s not your daughter! ” Emperor Shang said in dissatisfaction, and the beard that had sprouted up on his chin rose and fell. Speaking of the matter of the beard, it was actually Yi Yin who brought it up. That day, Yi Yin suddenly teased Emperor Shang, saying that no wonder he was so serious. It was no wonder that Shang didn’t like it.
Yinyin didn’t think that the joke she made would be taken seriously by the emperor, so she felt gratified that she was able to get closer to him. The two of them were indeed good elders, and they were only worried about the children.
“Aiya, not only does this lady have a son and daughter, this deal is worth it!” Whether his son married Shang Wuxin or Shang Wuxin took his son, there was no difference to Yi Yin. <>
“Is that something that my daughter can marry? Looks like you are old, and you don’t even know how you once became the richest person in the world! ” He didn’t know about his own daughter yet, so how could he not be willing to marry her? However, marrying a few men was fine with him.

At this moment, within the imperial palace’s second princess’ palace, Shang Xiange was being pulled by a woman to gain her favor. And that woman turned out to be the eldest miss of the Duke of Guo’s residence, Qing Yao.
“Cousin, why do you think grandpa suddenly hid in the palace? Is something going to happen to grandpa? ” Qing Yao pretended to be afraid as she asked. After so many days, she had never thought that the crown prince would return safely. She was afraid that her grandfather would sneak into the palace and hide there with her. Qing Yao had been scolded for this, but her cousin was completely fine. Therefore, Qing Yao usually went to please her cousin princess, but this cousin seemed to be more naive and shrewd than anyone else. Many times, Qing Yao was truly afraid of this cousin.
“Who knows?” Shang Xiange said with a smile as he entered his own bedroom. It was originally his own bedroom, but now that he was taken over by his grandfather, Shang Xiange was not the least bit displeased. These days, he was actually doing his best to help his grandfather.
“Ditty is here!” This granddaughter of hers had been very intelligent since childhood. Even when he sent her into the dark guard to train, she didn’t lose to any man, and her methods were also very ruthless. Therefore, even though her relationship with the Western Regions was very secret, Duke Qing still let his granddaughter know. Even he did not expect that his granddaughter would be taken seriously by that person from the Western Regions. In the eyes of those people from the Western Regions, she was even more valued than he was.
“Grandfather!” Shang Qiange bowed, and his eyes fell on the letter written by the Duke of Qing before withdrawing it.
“Mm. Right now, the emperor isn’t in the palace. This old man has no choice but to use the emperor to coerce the crown prince. The people sent out today haven’t found the Imperial Jade Seal either!” Now that the situation has been forced, you can send this letter back to the Western Regions and have them send someone to help this old man. The Duke of Qing handed the letter to Shang Xiange, who accepted it with a smile. When he heard that the Crown Prince had returned, the Duke of Qing knew that it was unfortunate. He had purposely disguised himself as the Duke of Qing’s estate and increased the number of guards there, but in truth, he had long since gone into hiding in the imperial palace. Currently, the Crown Prince did not only have a Minister of the Left by his side. All of those men were people who could shake him with a stomp of their feet. Duke Qing was not stupid enough to fight him head on.
“Don’t worry Grandpa, I will definitely find the Imperial Jade Seal!” After saying a few words, Shang Xiange took the letter and left, returning to his living quarters. Shang Qiangge directly placed the letter on the candlestick and lit it …
