Chapter 257
Having said that, Toyotake-kun will understand.

Rousseau is temporarily living in the mansion, and he is conscious of it, knowing that his identity must be checked.During the recent period, he kept his own law and order, ate and drank every day, and walked around the small courtyard where he lived.

He didn't inquire about anything, and didn't ask a word.

The current thing for Su Nancheng is the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year has been very busy, and when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, he has to go back to the Hou Mansion.

After a whole day of entertainment, at sixteen, the emperor summoned him.Su Nancheng went to the palace again.

In the Daqing Palace, Su Nancheng was given a seat after paying his respects.

"Chiyu, I haven't asked you yet, have you heard about the Cao family? You were in Wanzhou at that time, right?" Emperor An said.

"Going back to Your Majesty, I have heard that it is a big mess. After I came back, I also heard that Cao Shangshu was seriously ill and couldn't get up?" Su Nancheng asked back.

"Yeah, he also lost his son one after another. Now it's not a light blow." Emperor An shook his head: "I heard the news about this matter is very confusing. Have you heard other news outside?"

Su Nancheng could see that the emperor did not doubt him.Of course, you shouldn't doubt it normally, and you can't think of it here if you have nothing to do.

"I really heard some news, but I don't know if it's true or not. But although it can't be verified right now, there are some grounds for it." Su Nancheng said.

"Oh? Tell me."

"Yes. I heard that Mr. Cao and his party often used the convenience of going out on patrol to go to the homes of some people with beautiful women. The family where he died originally had three members. One daughter was very good-looking. I was harassed by him several times. Before His Majesty was going to draft, the woman's father intended to send his daughter away, but he was also stopped by Mr. Cao."

"I thought, could it be because of this that the woman's family colluded with the Peacock Sect? Then she killed someone and fled."

"In that case, he deserves to die." Emperor An said.

"I'm not sure if this is true, but on the way back, I heard that several people in the Wanzhou Army were executed for violating military discipline. They happened to be the people who were with Mr. Cao before." Su Nancheng said.

Emperor An was thoughtful: "I know. Now that Cao Shangshu is ill, I will be more tolerant and don't need to pursue these things."

Sunan stood up: "Your Majesty is lenient, and it's a blessing for me."

"Okay, sit down, I want to talk to you about the establishment of the crown prince. My first prince has outstanding virtues, and I intend to establish a heir. What do you think of Chiyu?"

"My minister is terrified. How can my minister, He De, dare to make false statements about the establishment of the heir? But the first prince is indeed extremely intelligent, and he is indeed the best candidate for the crown prince."

"Hahaha, yes, he is smarter than me." After a few words, Emperor Andi suddenly asked again: "What happened to the abolished prince?"

He asked suddenly, but Su Nancheng was a little taken aback.

But that's all.

"Returning to Your Majesty, people are alive. I haven't seen him for many years. The guards in the city defense battalion have changed. In these years, he has lived alone." Su Nancheng said.

"Chiyu, you go to see him tomorrow. Although I have been the emperor for several years now, I am afraid that the old officials in the court still miss him. Too many heirs of the former emperor died, and I couldn't bear to kill him, but now I If you want to establish a reserve, you should take a look at him for me."

"Yes, I understand." Although Su Nancheng felt that this was superfluous, he always listened to the king's order.

How many people still remember the deposed prince?

Early the next morning, Su Nancheng went out of the city to meet the abolished prince.

It's true that I haven't seen him for many years. Su Nancheng was very strange when he first saw the gray-haired waste prince.

Back in the East Palace, this person fought with the third prince vigorously despite his ordinary appearance.

In the blink of an eye, many years have passed, and the third prince has already died.This one also looks 30 years older.

The waste prince also failed to recognize Su Nancheng for a while, and squinted his eyes for a long time before saying: "Master Su."

"It's the minister. I haven't seen you for a few years. How is your Highness?" Su Nancheng was somewhat moved, but not much.

"What's so good about being a prisoner? What is Mr. Su doing here today?" The deposed prince sat down and asked.

"Your Majesty's oral order, ask the minister to come and see you."

"Huh? Your Majesty is so kind?" The deposed prince was surprised: "Well, it's better to look at me than no one looks at me. These years, I have been very lonely."

"It's you, Mr. Su. In the past few years, you have heard a lot. You are the third grade. It seems that I delayed you in the East Palace." The waste prince shook his head: "Now you follow the right person and you will go straight up. Your Majesty When you were the prince, you were very good at seizing opportunities."

Su Nancheng said indifferently: "During the time of the first emperor, I was already a sixth-rank official of the city defense battalion. It is my honor to have your majesty's trust. I will only be loyal to your majesty."

"Really? Then why did you become loyal to the current emperor after the death of the first emperor?" the deposed prince asked with a sneer.

"Your Highness didn't understand. What I said was that you will always be loyal to Your Majesty." Su Nancheng bit down on His Majesty's words emphatically: "Your Majesty is orthodox, first he is appointed as the crown prince, and then he succeeds the emperor. If you are loyal, what's wrong?"

These words choked the waste prince: "Then it seems that I can't make Mr. Su loyal to me, because I'm not good at it?"

"Your Majesty is about to set up a heir, the eldest son of the emperor. He came from the former empress Han's family."

"Very good. Now that His Majesty is young, the eldest son will only feel happy. In the future...hehe, His Majesty is getting older and the eldest son is still young. I wonder if he will regret it." The abandoned prince said with emotion.

Having said that, Su Nancheng thought that the task was completed, got up and said: "I will take my leave first."

The abandoned prince looked at him: "Nancheng... oh no, Chiyu, do you regret that His Majesty is so serious today? How does the Su family support him to ascend the throne, how do you feel now? His successors are not willing to choose Su My daughter. If you had chosen another person, it would be better than now, right?"

Su Nancheng looked at him with a mocking look and wanted to laugh: "Your Highness misunderstood, it was the first emperor's choice for His Majesty to be the crown prince. The Su family is loyal to the royal family. As for the successor, Empress Tang is very suitable."

"Your Highness, let's rest, and I will leave." After saying that, he left without any regrets.

Su Nancheng thought it was interesting, the sources of news about the abolished prince were nothing more than his guards and food deliverers.

But these news also show that many people in the capital see it that way.

The current prosperity of the Su family is tacitly accepted as a reward for supporting the crown prince.From the power of the dragon?

Since he is supporting the crown prince to ascend the throne, if he does not choose the daughter of the Su family to be the queen, he is crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Su Nancheng just thought it was funny, but it's okay to spread it like this.It's good to call people 'poor' the Su family.

The emperor's mission is over, and he has to go to the palace to tell stories.It's nothing more than saying that the abolished prince is not a threat.

The emperor trusts himself completely, otherwise he would not ask himself to inquire about these things.But in fact, the abolished prince is really no threat.
