Chapter 483: Prince Jing who doesn’t play by the rules
"Your Highness, please stay, Your Highness Prince Jing."
After the court session, on the road out of the palace, Duke Cheng'en Liu Congnan took a few quick steps to the front of Prince Jing, and bowed to him with a smile.
Prince Jing stared at the top of Liu Congnan's head with a dark expression, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, and his cold voice was filled with obvious anger: "I haven't had time to greet Master Liu yet, but I didn't expect Master Liu to come to my door on his own!"
Liu Congnan's smile faded completely, and he looked sincere and honest. "Your Highness, it is precisely because I am worried that you might misunderstand my intentions that I have come here to explain. I hope Your Highness will allow me to explain."
Prince Jing's expression did not improve at all because of Liu Congnan's two words. He laughed in anger, and his rapid laughter was full of sarcasm:
"Your Excellency, there is no need to pretend! Everyone in the court, civil and military, knows that Wei Hufeng is just a dog raised by you, Liu Congnan!
It was you who wanted that man's life, and it was you who wanted me to go and meet that man!
What on earth do you want to do? What am I in your eyes?!"
The anger in Prince Jing's heart had been accumulating since Liu Congnan suggested to the emperor in the court that he go to welcome Cheng Wan and his party. This anger did not subside after the court session, but instead grew more and more intense.
It was not until Liu Congnan took the initiative to bump into him that Prince Jing's rage became somewhat out of control.
There were not only Prince Jing and Liu Congnan on the palace road, but also several other officials.
The sound of Prince Jing questioning Liu Congnan made the people nearby want to prick up their ears and listen carefully, but they were a little hesitant to listen.
If Prince Jing's rage was somewhat out of control, then Liu Congnan's facial expression was somewhat out of control after listening to Prince Jing's venting.
Listen to what Prince Jing just said.
Is that something that can be said openly?
Is that something that can be said here?!
Even though Liu Congnan had lived for most of his life and had been immersed in officialdom for decades, he never expected that Prince Jing would play by his own rules.
Liu Congnan knew that Prince Jing would be a little angry, but in his calculations, Prince Jing would definitely give him, the Duke, some face and listen to his explanation patiently, and then Prince Jing would calm down and everyone would be happy.
who knew...
Liu Congnan didn't have time to think more. He scanned the surroundings stealthily and quickly. Anyone who came into contact with his oppressive gaze disappeared from the area in the shortest possible time.
"Your Highness, you..." Liu Congnan's face was filled with grief and indignation. "You are really wronging me! I am truly doing this for your Highness's own good!"
Prince Jing curled the corners of his lips and looked at Liu Congnan quietly, saying nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.
Facing King Jing's monkey-like gaze, Liu Congnan's expression was almost unable to hold back. At the same time, the sinister look in Liu Congnan's eyes became even more intense.
“Your Highness, what this old minister said today is absolutely not selfish.
You must be aware of the significance of the Liangzhou Birthday Group.
The people of the Dragon's Rise came to Beijing to celebrate the emperor's birthday, which will surely become a good story in history books!
Your Highness, if you go to welcome them on behalf of the Emperor, the people will certainly be grateful to the Emperor and you first. This will be of great benefit to Your Highness.
As for Zhaoping Hou Cheng Wan, Your Highness went to greet her in person, so how could you not hope for her well?
Your Highness, Marquis Zhaoping is favored by the emperor, so it will do you no harm to befriend her!"
As he spoke, Liu Congnan bowed deeply to Prince Jing, his voice heavy and sad:
"Your Highness, I am already old. I only wish for peace and prosperity for the country. I am almost half buried in the earth. How could I become an enemy of a little girl like Cheng Wan, let alone take her life?
Your Highness, I do have some friendship with Lord Wei, but I don't know everything about his actions. I beg Your Highness to investigate and give me justice!
