Chapter 140 The Maids in the Palace Are on Strike (10)

Song Liaoye was seriously injured in an assassination attempt and had not yet recovered. The emperor specially allowed him to recover from his injuries before attending court, so he had been recuperating in the palace.

Imperial doctors came to see patients every day.

The day after he was injured, people from the palace sent people to reward him with a lot of ointments and gold and silver to express the emperor's great grace.

Prince Qi had been recuperating from his injuries for nearly a month before his condition gradually improved.

Let the people from the palace reply.

You will be able to attend court in two days.

The emperor naturally let him rest for a while and there was no need to rush to court.

The morning three days later.

Before daybreak.

The carriage of Prince Qi's mansion drove all the way to the imperial palace. Song Liaoye was wearing a red court robe, and anyone else traveling with him would appear overshadowed.

Prince Qi's appearance is well-known throughout Shangjing. It is a face that any woman would feel inferior to when seeing it.

Although he himself doesn't like people looking at his face too much.

Most of the time, Song Liaoye hates other people's compliments on his appearance.

Of course, if Shen Fanli kept staring at his face, it wouldn't be annoying at this time.

I feel like this face is still somewhat useful.

At least it will keep people's attention on him.

Many adults and princes asked about his situation with concern.

Song Liaoye looked arrogant and sneered, "No matter how serious the injury is, I'm afraid someone will poison Prince Qi's mansion next time."

When he said this, no one dared to reply.

......

"Your Majesty has arrived. All the ministers kneel down to pay homage to you—"

After he finished speaking, they all knelt down before the throne.

The emperor sat alone on the throne. He raised his hand and said, "My dear ministers, please stand up."

Turning his gaze to Song Liaoye on the side, he said, "Prince Qi, your injury has not healed yet. I am asking you to rest more in the mansion, but there is something that is not going well. Is it the imperial physician or the medicine, or...?"

Prince Qi took a step forward, his red court robe made him look even more magnificent, attracting everyone's attention in the Purple Palace. But it was not just because of his appearance, but more because of what he said.

"Your Majesty, I am indeed injured and should be recuperating in my residence, but I have been unable to eat or sleep in recent days."

At this point, the emperor could only continue his words and ask: "What worries the prince Qi that makes him worry day and night and lose his appetite?"

"Your Majesty, I heard recently that the assassin who assassinated me that day has not been caught yet. I wonder when Your Majesty will order a thorough investigation of this matter."

"I am really worried. If I walk in the imperial city one day, my life will be in danger. Also, if the emperor visits incognito and this happens, what should I do..."

In the hall, one could hear a pin drop, and everyone lowered their heads.

Only Song Liaoye looked up at the emperor on the throne.

Song Liaoye has always been a playboy, so it is natural for him to cherish his life in the eyes of others.

But the case was closed five days ago, and the real culprit behind the incident committed suicide in prison.

The first thing Prince Qi did when he came to court injured was to ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate the case.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then said, "Come here, please give me a seat."

He looked at King Qi and said, "King Qi, please stand up first. Your injury has not healed yet, so you don't need to kneel for long."

Prince Qi lifted his robe and sat down, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Third Prince, who was standing next to Prince Qi, looked at his complexion, which was almost better than his own. He also said that his injuries had not healed yet, he had no appetite, and so on.

At this time, the prince stepped out of the line, bowed to the emperor, and then said to King Qi:

"Perhaps the prince of Qi is recovering from his injuries recently, so he may not know that I have already found out the real culprit behind the assassination of you outside the city a few days ago. It was none other than the Minister of Rites Wan, who had a relationship with the prince of Qi a few months ago. You had said something extreme that day, which irritated Wan. That is why Wan was resentful of you and hired people to teach you a lesson. I didn't expect those people to actually attack you."

"The Minister of Rites was so remorseful that he committed suicide in prison!"

When Song Liaoye heard this, he showed a look of shock. "It turned out to be Lord Wan. How could he be so petty? I just said a few insults to him, but he would hold a grudge against me for several months."

He looked at the throne, "Your Majesty, has the case been concluded?"

The person in power on the throne nodded, "The case has been solved. It was the Crown Prince who personally arrested the man. Prince Qi can rest and recuperate, and walk around the imperial city without worry."

When Prince Qi heard this, he began to thank the emperor for his grace and the emperor's great favor.

When he lowered his head, no one could see the coldness in his eyes.

All those who had tried to assassinate him that day were killed, and no one survived.

Song Liaoye naturally also knew whether the so-called mastermind behind the scenes was the Minister of Rites or someone else.

Just a scapegoat.

......

After the court session, Prince Qi still had a defiant look on his face as he left the palace.

The prince, who was standing somewhere, stared at his back until he got on the carriage, then he looked away.

Song Liaoye is just a dandy prince. Although he has military power, he is not allowed to leave the capital and is not worthy of any special attention.

But he just didn't like him.

He had always been on good terms with the Shangshu's eldest daughter, who was also his future Crown Princess. However, he happened to see that his future Crown Princess had someone in her heart, a playboy prince. Naturally, the Crown Prince could not let it go and broke off the engagement in public.

Less than a day after the break-off of the engagement, news came that she had hanged herself.

The prince was very upset, so he transferred all his resentment to Prince Qi.

*

Song Liaoye sat in the carriage with his eyes closed and rested.

When he returned to Prince Qi's Mansion, he went straight to Shen Fanli's courtyard.

At this time, Shen Fanli was still asleep.

Song Liaoye waved his hand to let everyone leave, then opened the door and went in.

Seeing that the house was quiet, Song Liaoye entered the inner room.

There was a basin of ice in the room, and the coolness hit me on the face.

I saw the person still lying in bed, sleeping soundly.

Song Liaoye's heart seemed to calm down in an instant.

He quietly looked at the person who was buried in the quilt for a long time before he got up and left.

When Fanli woke up, the system was whispering in her ear.

What? The male protagonist went to court. According to the original owner's personality, she should have gotten up long ago instead of staying in bed.

Fanli immediately threw the system into the small dark room.

[It’s so noisy, so early in the morning.]
