Chapter 429 Shang Jinyuan Chatting...
Prince Rui Sima Hui walked out of the imperial study slowly, his steps seeming a little heavy.
He looked up at Eunuch Qiao who had brought him out, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and fatigue.
Then he turned his head to look at the tightly closed door of the imperial study, and a feeling of desolation welled up in his heart.
As a prince, he should have enjoyed wealth and glory, but now he had to play tricks with his father, which made him feel extremely exhausted.
Especially since the secret in the mahogany box was too important, he didn't dare to reveal it before he had enough strength.
Although he had given the "space capsule" to Yue'er, she was still young and could not understand the deep meaning of it.
Crown Prince Sima Yan is completely trustworthy and will definitely be able to help him at critical moments.
At this moment, he decided to suspend all trading activities and take no further action.
After all, this matter involves too many conflicts of interest, and he needs to wait until the time is right before taking action.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and said with emotion: "It really delayed my business! One day..."
After bidding farewell to Mr. Qiao, Prince Rui Sima Hui mounted his horse and went straight to "Shangjin Garden" where Prince Xian Sima Xian was temporarily living.
After he dismounted, he walked into the yard with several guards, looked around, and found that the place was lifeless.
At this time, the gap-toothed boy poked his head out of the house, and seeing that it was His Royal Highness Prince Rui, he hurried over to pay his respects.
"His Royal Highness Prince Rui, may your Highness live a long and healthy life!"
Prince Rui stood in the courtyard, looked around, and then asked, "Didn't you ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange for palace maids and eunuchs here? Where are they?"
The gap-toothed boy, Xiao Zhao, scratched his head and replied somewhat embarrassedly, "They were all driven to the cattery. Now, there are only me and Datou here. Oh, and there's also a cooking lady!"
Prince Rui rubbed his temples speechlessly, shook his head and walked into the living room.
As soon as he entered, he saw Prince Sima Xian sitting there leisurely as usual, facing the chessboard, with the white piece in his left hand and the black piece in his right hand, playing chess with himself.
"Wait until your Prince Xian's Mansion is cleaned up. You can't let this go on. There are only a few people in the entire mansion!" Prince Rui said helplessly.
When Prince Sima Xian heard this, he just raised his head and glanced at his third brother, then continued to play chess with his head down, and replied casually: "Well, let's talk about it later, I will get used to it, but they can't disturb me."
King Rui Sima Hui looked at his younger brother and couldn't help feeling helpless.
This kid is always so different. He would rather be alone than be served by more people.
He couldn't help but sigh and thought to himself: "This kid is really a weirdo..."
After a moment, Prince Rui suddenly remembered something important, so he turned to Prince Xian and said, "Oh, that 'fake Seventh Prince' has been proven to be who he is, and he will be torn to pieces by a chariot the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go and see him?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Xian frowned, a look of reluctance appearing on his face.
He shook his head and said softly, "It's enough to verify his identity. What's so interesting about it?"
Just as the two were talking, the sound of crisp footsteps was heard.
The sound of "da da..." was getting closer and closer. It turned out to be Acai running in hurriedly.
When Ah Cai saw that King Rui was also present, he immediately stopped and bowed respectfully, shouting, "Greetings to my foster father! May my foster father always be filled with joy!"
Immediately afterwards, the female soldiers behind her saluted King Rui in unison, shouting in unison: "Greetings, King Rui! May His Highness King Rui live forever!"
Then, they turned to Prince Xian, saluted again, and shouted loudly: "Greetings, Prince Xian! May your highness live a long and happy life!"
King Rui nodded slightly in response.
He said calmly, "An! You guys go wait outside first, Yue'er come here."
Sima Hui looked at Ah Cai, a hint of suspicion in his eyes. "Yue'er, why are you here at Shangjin Garden? It's quite a distance from the General's Mansion!"
Ah Cai raised her little face, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and she replied with a smile, "Tomorrow that fake guy will be executed. I'm here to watch the fun with Uncle Qi!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Rui's face instantly darkened. He sternly reprimanded, "Nonsense! That's the punishment of being torn apart by chariots. The death is extremely horrific. How can a child like you witness that? What if you get scared to death?"
Then, he glanced at his seventh brother with a smile on his face and said gloatingly, "Besides, your seventh uncle isn't planning on going either. Humph, you'd better just follow him and learn how to play chess! Don't join in on this fun anymore!"
Sima Hui put down his teacup, raised his head and looked at Rong Mama beside him, and solemnly instructed: "Tomorrow, you will take Yue'er to wait for me at the palace gate. I will bring her into the palace to meet the emperor."
Then, as if remembering something, he added, "Oh, by the way, the people you sent to monitor Liu Bilian, the daughter of the Liu family, can be withdrawn. She has been taken away."
A Cai nodded obediently and said she didn't want to look at it.
Just let Xiaojia and the others tell her about it after they finish watching it. She is a good girl!
While his third brother was talking to Acai, Prince Sima Xian quickly cleaned up the chessboard and put the black and white pieces in place.
He put the chessboard away, fearing that it would be broken by Ah Cai. The little girl was very destructive!
Children and the like are all devils!
Prince Rui saw Sima Xian hurriedly put away the chessboard and sit there drinking tea, and he knew what was going on.
"Princess Yue'er's mansion is built next to your Prince Xian's mansion, my seventh brother. Do you need a moon gate for you?" Sima Hui asked kindly.
"Wow, open it!"
Acai shouted excitedly!
"No, no need!"
Sima Xian spoke out quickly. This was the fastest speed Sima Hui had ever heard him speak since he met him!
"Is Yue'er's destructive power so great?" Sima Hui muttered to himself.
Ah Cai glared at Sima Xian, the idle prince. This was not acceptable. Didn't she know that the one who was close to the water got the most attention?
This is the stepfather she found for herself, her mother's support for the rest of her life, how could there be distance between them!
"Hmph!" Ah Cai turned away angrily.
Sima Hui looked at him with a smile, "Tomorrow I plan to submit a petition to attack the Japanese. What do you think, Seventh Brother?"
Sima Xian frowned, "I don't really understand what's going on in the court, Third Brother. Just take care of it!"
Ah Cai immediately became excited when she heard this. "This is my dream. Is it going to come true?"
Sima Xian pinched Ah Cai's buns and said, "Little girl, what about your dream? Why is your dream to destroy a country?"
Ah Cai shook her little head, "Yeah, it would be a shame to let Xiao Jia and the others go into battle to kill the enemy. Let's do a decapitation operation first!"
Aunt Rong quickly covered Ah Cai's mouth and said, "Princess, you've gone too far, too much!"
Ah Cai looked at the half-smile on King Rui's face and wondered in her heart: What's going on? Why won't he let me speak?
