Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 117 Why didn't you say it?
When Wang's female official saw this, she was so frightened that her eyes almost fell off. She quickly said to the angry Li Shan:

"Prince...Your Highness, the Crown Princess doesn't mean that. She only wants to do your best, but she has a bad temper and can't speak."

Li Shan pursed his lips slightly and straightened his chin, seeming to be hiding his anger.

He looked at Mrs. Wang with bright eyes that seemed to be full of hatred. He stretched out a finger and pointed at the tip of her nose. His voice was low and hoarse, and he said word by word:
"I'll tell you again, don't treat me as a fool, I don't need you to worry about!"

After saying that, he glared at her, turned around and left without looking back.

Mrs. Wang looked at his leaving figure, crying and biting her mouth in anger.

Her female officer said anxiously:
"Princess, why did you suddenly lose your temper at the prince? What a great opportunity to talk, but you pissed off the prince."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she took a few breaths with sobs and said:
"I'm not convinced. I obviously didn't do anything wrong, but I kept apologizing to him and bowing to him. As a result, after enduring it for so long, more than a year...he still treats me like that! Why!"

When the female officer heard this, she anxiously advised her:

"Because he is the prince, because he is your husband, and he is the support of your honor and disgrace. Princess, you are so smart, why are you so impatient. No matter what, you have to endure it first and give birth to a son. ah."

When Wang heard this, her anger suddenly became much weaker, her eyes shone with uneasiness, and she stopped talking.

……

……

Anren Hall.

Concubine Wei was very surprised when she saw the prince coming. She greeted him with a smile and asked;
"Come to see Yudou again? She was summoned by His Majesty to speak and is not here."

The prince looked a little embarrassed, paused for a moment with his eyebrows lowered, and then said:

"No... I heard from Mr. Wang that Wu Cairen was sued and it was related to me, so I came to ask."

Concubine Wei raised her eyebrows, looking at him, as if she didn't agree with him.

She turned around, stretched out her hand towards the couch beside her, and said lovingly and gently:
"...You came so quickly, Wu Cairen just left not long ago...It's true that the Crown Princess always tells you what to do when it comes to matters between women, just sit down."

The prince's face turned red for a moment.

He really shouldn't care.Especially Wu Rou's matter, he should not interfere.

But I still couldn't help but worry.

"After all, it's related to me. I want to know what's going on." Prince Li Shan said softly to make amends for himself.

After Concubine Wei sat down, she adjusted her skirt and covered it properly before saying softly and slowly:
"Actually, it's nothing. Xia Qi hid the aphrodisiac and gave a piece to Wu Cairen. Wu Cairen took it, but she said she didn't know about it and thought it was just a normal gift in return.

That Xia Qi probably resented you for blocking her path to favor, and also heard that you were close to Wu Cairen, so she wanted to use a piece of incense to tarnish your reputation and hers.

Don't worry, I've already taken care of everything. I never mentioned you. I just said that Xia Baolin was talking nonsense, disrupting the harem and lowering her rank.

The interrogation process has been sorted out and handed over to His Majesty's desk. I believe His Majesty will not have any objections. "

Prince Li Shan breathed a sigh of relief, thought of something again, and asked:
"That Xia Yu, did you use that incense, so your father would..."

Concubine Wei said helplessly:
"Xia Yu doesn't admit it, but it's useless. His Majesty must know clearly."

……

On the way back, Prince Li Shan kept thinking about last year's New Year's Eve banquet in his mind.

That was the first time Xia Qi was favored.

At that time, he passed by Wu Rou and chased the emperor to his resting place in Liangyi Palace. He saw the emperor standing at the door, eagerly kissing an ordinary palace maid.

It was the first time he saw his father like this, and he was stunned in shock.

When he came to his senses and walked back, he passed by Wu Rou, and Wu Rou asked him, "What's wrong?"

It can be seen that his shock must have been obvious at that time.What happened before that?

He was sitting on the high imperial steps, and the singing and dancing in the venue was lively, but the corner of his eyes was always paying attention to that corner unconsciously.

Then he saw Wu Rou chasing his father's leaving figure.

At that time, his mood suddenly deteriorated to the extreme, and a senseless anger suddenly arose.

Before he could think about why he was like this, he had already stood up and followed him.

Then he saw Wu Rou turning sideways and picking up something from the ground.

Now that I think about it, it seems to be a sachet.Xia Yu quickly chased after her and nervously asked her for it.

Wu Rou's expression at that time was so clear in his eyes: her face was red because she was tipsy, she was surprised and confused while holding the sachet, but she smiled and asked Xia Yu:
"Is this sachet yours? It smells so good."

Is this sachet yours?It smells so good.

He kept thinking about her expression when she said this. Her beautiful eyebrows were smiling, the smile was gentle and fake, and the ends of her eyes were slightly red, like a half-opened iris, hiding a profound meaning. exploration.

At that time, she must have realized that there was something wrong with the sachet.

But she didn't tell anyone.

Unknowingly, he had reached the courtyard of Wude Hall.

It was already getting late, and palace lanterns were lit everywhere.

He stood in front of the two trees in the front of the yard, looking at the lights in the distance, thinking about his sister Princess Jinyang who had left him, and suddenly felt desolate in his heart.

He turned his head and said to the guard following behind him:

"Go and ask Wu Cairen to come over. If you have anything to say, ask her."

"Yes." The guard turned around.

……

When Wu Rou arrived, it was already dark.

As soon as she entered the Wude Hall, she saw two palace maids in the courtyard holding palace lanterns, standing under the tree on the left and the right. Looking from a distance, they looked like two fireflies, emitting a gentle and warm light.

And Prince Li Shan, dressed in snow satin and brocade prince's uniform, stood between the two lights, as gentle as the person in the painting.

As if he was conscious, he suddenly turned around, saw her as well, and then said something.

The two palace ladies put the palace lanterns in their hands on the ground, bowed silently, and retreated far away.

"Wu Rou has met the prince. It's so late. I don't know why the prince called me here." Wu Rou walked closer and asked respectfully with her head lowered.

The light from the palace lantern came from the ground and illuminated half of their bodies.

Li Shan's face was hidden in the dark shadows, and her profile looked jade-white under the light.

"At the New Year's Eve banquet, you already knew that there was something wrong with Xia Yu, right?" Li Shan asked, "...I saw you talking to her."

He didn't ask too clearly, because asking too detailed questions would reveal his uncertainty.

Sure enough, Wu Rou on the opposite side was a little surprised, then hesitated, fell silent, and did not answer.

"You already knew, why didn't you tell me?" He asked softly, his voice still gentle, but there was a hint of anger hidden in his heart.

Wu Rou suddenly raised her head and looked at him, but his face was hidden in the dark shadows and could not be seen clearly.

"Say it, will it do me any good?" she asked displeasedly.
