Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Returning Home

Chapter 27

That night, Crown Prince Lin Bozhi stayed in the palace. The emperor invited him to have dinner in the palace on a whim. It was too late and the palace was locked, so he naturally had no way to go back.

At night, the crown prince was reading in the room when he saw someone coming to report to the princess.

Lin Bozhi stopped reading. After all, the princess was a woman, and she was not of the Lin family, so he naturally had to avoid suspicion in private. However, since she came to the door, there must be something, so he did not refuse.

Princess Le'an was wearing a red brocade jacket with narrow sleeves and hundreds of butterflies in gold thread, and a pearl crown with kingfisher feathers on her head. She was sitting in the hall waiting for Crown Prince Lin Bozhi.

Seeing Lin Bozhi coming, she felt a little embarrassed for a moment. To be honest, the two of them had no intersection in private.

Lin Bozhi was not good at small talk either. He asked directly after he sat down, "Is there anything the princess needs?"

Princess Le'an held a blue and white porcelain teacup in her hand. In it was a clear Longjing tea that was emitting hot steam. She took a sip and then said, "Brother Crown Prince, I want to ask you for a favor."

Lin Bozhi looked up at Princess Le'an without saying anything.

Princess Le'an sighed. She had always known that Lin Bozhi was not a talkative person, so she did not beat around the bush. "My father's health is getting worse day by day, so I just want to spend more time with him, but the marriage is scheduled for the end of the year."

The emperor had only one daughter. Although she was an adopted daughter, he loved her very much. He picked and chose again and again in the selection of the son-in-law, and finally chose Xu Qian, the youngest son of Wuning Hou.

Xu Qian was naturally good-looking, and the emperor was very satisfied.

It was not a difficult task. Lin Bozhi nodded and then stopped talking. Princess Le'an was naturally grateful and went back happily.

That night, Lin Bozhi always felt a little uneasy and couldn't help sleeping a little late. When he woke up in the morning, he saw the eunuch Zhang Gonggong beside the emperor hurried over and said, "Your Highness, the emperor is calling you over."

Lin Bozhi was washing up and hadn't had breakfast yet. He changed his clothes and went to the imperial study. The emperor was angry inside at the moment, and his voice was so loud that he could hear it even from outside. "The prison cell in the Dali Temple is fake, how could a living person disappear?"

Eunuch Zhang said, "Prince, Lin Sheng is missing."

Lin Sheng is a remnant of Concubine Wang's party, but his identity is very special. He is the youngest son of the prince, and he actually killed his brothers with Concubine Wang's party.

The previous emperor couldn't do it, so he kept him in prison, but who knew he ran away.

The emperor was kind and rarely lost his temper. This was the first time, but it was understandable. The prince was the orthodox, and the identity of Lin Sheng, who was born to the prince, was naturally very subtle.

"Dig three feet deep for me, and find the person. I want to see him alive or dead."

After all, the emperor was weak and a little tired after his temper. He gave a few instructions and prepared to go back to the palace to rest. Lin Bozhi accompanied him back.

The emperor said, "You go back too."

Lin Bozhi only then knew that Princess Jialan was ill. Hearing about her condition, he said, "It's just a cold, it's okay."

The emperor insisted unusually and advised, "You should go back and take a look. I know your filial piety."

Not only that, he also asked someone to bring back the imperial medicinal materials. Lin Bozhi's face was solemn, and he was stunned for a while when he looked at the rare non-salty mountain ginseng.

Eunuch Xu Bao didn't dare to speak. He had a subtle feeling that the prince was angry, but he didn't know why. Was he angry because the princess was sick? Even if the two had an ordinary relationship, she was still his bedmate and the mother of his eldest son Fucheng. Shouldn't he be worried?

But soon Lin Bozhi got up and left the palace, and Xu Bao hurriedly followed behind.

When Lin Bozhi returned to the palace, he saw the maid Wenru standing at the door waiting for him as soon as he arrived. She came over and whispered something in his ear. Lin Bozhi's face turned very ugly and he said, "Is it true?"

Wenru nodded. It was already afternoon and Princess Jialan's fever had subsided long ago and she was fine. But Princess Zhou was very angry and kept talking to Lin Bozhi, "I don't know what she was thinking. She actually called Jiang over for questioning. Jiang has been married for a long time and has children. She is also a poor person. Doesn't she think about Jiang's situation when she acted like this? Instead of putting more thought into you, thinking about how to serve you and how to expand the family, she acts like she is from a small family and only knows how to be jealous."

Princess Zhou was afraid that Lin Bozhi was angry and blamed all the mistakes on Princess Jialan.

At this moment, her heart was completely on Jiang Yu's side. Not to mention that Jiang Yu's previous dedicated service to her made her still remember Jiang Yu's kindness. After Princess Jialan married, she had always been humble, but Princess Jialan was so disappointing, which made her even more angry.

"How did I treat her? I was afraid that she would not feel comfortable coming to pay respects every day, so I only let her come twice a month, at the beginning and middle of the month, and I didn't let her serve meals. When Jiang Yu was here before..."

Princess Zhou paused here. She remembered that Jiang Yu had been married to the palace for three years. Except for the days when she was in the countryside, whenever she returned to the palace, she always served her in every detail. Because Jiang Yu was of a low birth, Princess Zhou also accepted such service like a servant with peace of mind.

"It's been four years since I got married, and there's only one Fucheng. Fucheng's health is so bad that I'm worried sick. Nothing he does makes me satisfied."

Lin Bozhi was not good at talking. He asked someone to bring tea and said, "Mother, I'll go and take a look."

Princess Zhou was actually a little worried that Lin Bozhi would be unhappy. Seeing him so respectful and his expression normal, she felt relieved and said, "You should get up and take a look."

Lin Bozhi nodded, and when he arrived at the gate of the West Garden, he saw a smell of medicine in the yard and an imperial physician guarding it. He asked, "But what happened?"

The imperial physician's answer was the same as what he heard in the palace. Lin Bozhi nodded and said, "Thank you." After that, he turned around and left.

When Nanny Shen knew that Lin Bozhi was coming, she was so happy that she said to Princess Jialan, "You see, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has you in his heart. He came out of the palace just now. He must have known that you were sick and came to see you specially."

Princess Jialan's expression eased up, but she still said with a bit of grievance, "No one has ever said this to me since I was a child."

"Your Majesty, please don't be impulsive. After all, Princess Zhou is your mother-in-law, right? There has never been an easy mother-in-law to serve since ancient times."

"You must be gentle when you see the Crown Prince later."

Princess Jialan was not unwilling to listen, and finally nodded. As a result, Baoping came in and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said he was busy with official business and left the palace." "

What?"

Lin Bozhi got on the horse, and no one knew what he was thinking. He just walked and walked and came to Jiang's. The business here was very good at the moment, and there were a lot of people. Compared with the palace, it had a more fireworks atmosphere.
