Chapter 229 Let’s forget about that
"Oh?" When the emperor heard Prince Dingyuan mention his son, he was silent for a moment. His son was indeed "excellent" and the calculations behind him were no less impressive.
As for Prince Dingyuan's child, thinking of Wu Tiancheng, the emperor couldn't help but fall silent again.
He could never figure out why Wu Tiancheng was raised like that. He was even more useless than a waste.
He only cares about women, eating, drinking and having fun, and doesn't care about anything else.
At first, the emperor thought that Prince Dingyuan deliberately asked Wu Tiancheng to do this to numb others' attention to him.
However, the people he arranged there said that Wu Tiancheng had been very stubborn over the years and was a hopeless case.
Wu Tiancheng had almost no moral bottom line, which caused complaints from the people there and caused unrest in the community.
If it weren't for the prestige and strong suppression of King Dingyuan, the people over there would have probably exposed this matter long ago.
The emperor knew all this a long time ago, but he just didn't say it out loud.
All he wanted was a result. As long as Wu Tiancheng was a waste, it would not matter even if King Dingyuan had any second thoughts.
"I heard that two days ago, an assassin broke into the brothel and injured Tiancheng. I wonder how Tiancheng's injury is these two days?" The emperor asked with concern.
Because of this matter, Prince Dingyuan went to the palace to ask for his help, and he also arranged for the imperial physician to go there.
As for the incident with the little thief a few days ago, the emperor pretended to be ignorant. After all, Prince Dingyuan only investigated the matter secretly and did not make it public, so it was not convenient for him to ask about it.
Lest he think that I had arranged someone to monitor him in the brothel.
Although everyone has arranged their own people in each other's place, it is not a good idea to make this matter public.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Tiancheng's injuries have improved a lot, thanks to the imperial physician arranged by Your Majesty." Prince Dingyuan forced a smile on his face.
"Well, there is still no news about the assassin? Do you want me to arrange for someone to investigate this matter?"
Hearing the emperor's words, Prince Dingyuan hesitated at first, but then he thought of something and a light flashed in his eyes.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
"Okay, after today's banquet, I will arrange for people to find the murderer and bring him to justice." The emperor was just asking politely.
Unexpectedly, King Dingyuan actually followed his words and made a request.
However, this is not a big deal for the emperor, he is just an assassin.
Originally, Wu Tiancheng had something wrong in the capital, so he should indeed express his opinion.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
King Xian and Shi Qiuwu were sitting opposite King Dingyuan, so they naturally heard their conversation.
Princess Xian didn't care about these things. She had also heard that Wu Tiancheng was not a good guy and had killed so many young girls. When she heard that he was seriously injured, Princess Xian secretly wondered why the assassin didn't just kill Wu Tiancheng directly.
Otherwise, after he is cured, he will harm other women.
Originally, Princess Xian thought that An Qingqian would come to the palace today. Knowing that An Zhenyuan left in the morning, she specially prepared a gift for An Qingqian to comfort her.
Who would have thought that she actually fell ill and did not enter the palace.
Without An Qingqian around, Princess Xian felt frustrated and a little disappointed. Therefore, she found the people at the banquet boring.
The virtuous prince was sitting next to the virtuous princess, so naturally he was the first to notice that his princess was unhappy.
After taking a quick look around the hall, he had a rough idea of what was going on.
After all, before leaving, Princess Xian was still showing off in front of him how good the things she had prepared for An Qingqian were.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for such a long time, An Qingqian did not come due to illness.
Unable to bear seeing his wife in such a low mood, the virtuous king glared at his son with disdain.
It's really useless. It's been such a long time, and he still hasn't won An Qingqian over. I really don't know if he really likes An Qingqian.
How can you be so nagging towards the person you like?
He doesn't have the same style as he did in his old days at all!
Shi Qiuwu was puzzled by the glare from the wise king. He looked at his father suspiciously, not understanding what he had done wrong again.
Seeing his son's confused look, the virtuous king lowered his voice and asked, "Why didn't An Qingqian come today?"
Almost all the people here were the wise king's men, so he didn't have much scruples and asked directly.
Upon hearing this, Princess Xian also turned sideways to look at her son.
"Father, Qianqian caught a cold and is bedridden, so she can't come." Shi Qiuwu answered politely.
"Hmph." The wise king snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with the answer.
Seeing this, Shi Qiuwu continued to explain, "The emperor just sent a royal physician, and the royal physician said the same thing. You should be fine after a few days of rest."
"Should?" Hearing this uncertain word, the wise king became even more dissatisfied with his son.
Having to hear even such a small thing, he began to doubt whether Shi Qiuwu didn't care about An Qingqian.
Shi Qiuwu felt extremely aggrieved and was also very worried about An Qingqian.
But before the banquet started, he asked Tianshu to send ointment to An Qingqian. At that time, Tianshu also said that An Qingqian met him in person, which meant that An Qingqian was not sick.
As for why she claimed to be sick and couldn't come, Shi Qiuwu didn't know either.
He would have to wait until the banquet was over and go there in person to find out what exactly happened.
"If you don't care, I think you should just forget about what you mentioned before." The wise king frowned and spoke in a deep voice.
As soon as these words were spoken, Shi Qiuwu's heart suddenly panicked. He looked at his father in shock, but the virtuous king had already withdrawn his gaze and was drinking the wine on the table.
He cares about it. How could he not care about it?
However, the wise king didn’t care what he was thinking.
Princess Xian looked at her husband, then at her son, her expression extremely confused. What was going on between the two of them?
Shi Qiuwu wanted to explain, but he knew that the scene here was not right, so he had to go back before he could explain it properly.
There was nothing interesting at the party and it ended quickly.
The first thing Shi Qiuwu did after returning home was to go look for the virtuous king.
This matter must be explained clearly. This is no joke. As for the emperor, without the help of the wise king, he is not sure whether he can cover it up.
When Shi Qiuwu went in, the virtuous prince was coaxing his wife.
The reason was that he could not resist the curiosity of Princess Xian, so he asked them the riddle they had played in the palace while they were in the carriage.
The wise king naturally told everything.
At first, Princess Xian was very happy, thinking that her son was very ambitious and had secretly accomplished something great.
But after hearing the end, she suddenly reacted and squinted her eyes at the wise king, "So, you said, he doesn't care, let this matter go???"
