"Yes, at any rate he can be regarded as an orphan child."
Because His Highness didn't like it before, Lu Shiwei didn't pay much attention to that child.
Now that His Highness asked, he couldn't give a definite answer for a while, so he could only reply tentatively:
"Your Highness, will my subordinates go ask you tomorrow?"
"it is good."
A child who does not receive his father's attention is destined to have a bad life in the Prince's Mansion. In such an environment, it is rare not to feel resentment, but to think about his father.
It's no wonder that people who were betrayed by their father like the client are willing to spend one of their precious wishes on this child.
Just at this time, the serving maid brought over the supper, Xie Hui returned to the desk after eating, disposed of the memorials on the table, and thought about the current situation.
In the end, the client was poisoned to death by a glass of poisoned wine sent by the **** beside his father.
But Xie Hui judged based on the many plots in the client's memory, but felt that the end of the matter was definitely not that simple.
In this world, even the Supreme Emperor, who succeeded in rebelling against him at the beginning, did not shake the status of the aristocratic family during that change of imperial power, which is enough to show how detached the aristocratic family's status is.
It wasn't until Lu Shiwei came in and urged him to rest that Xie Hui left the study to rest.
On the second day, Xie Hui went to the harem to meet the client's mother after going to court.
The queen was wearing a very gorgeous dress, and she was extremely dignified in the red color. When seeing Xie go back to the past, he was more courteous than close.
"Why do you think of entering the palace today to see the queen mother? Are you not busy outside?"
Xie Hui glanced at the people who were serving the queen, and with just one look, the nuns beside the queen turned around and drove out all the palace servants who were serving and cleaning.
"I didn't see that His Royal Highness and His Majesty planned to have some intimate conversations, why don't they all go out."
After driving away the waiters, the nun went out by herself and closed the door from the outside.
After all the people left, the Queen's appearance obviously became much looser, holding the teacup with the hand painted with Kodan, and looked up lazily.
"What? What's the matter?"
"Some time ago, my son suddenly realized that... a few years ago, there was some misunderstanding between the sixth younger brother's mansion and the brothel girl."
The client did have **** with the brothel girl at the Sixth Prince's residence, and the girl was pregnant once.
But according to what Xie Hui saw from the perspective of God, it is clear that the girl in the brothel is not as bad as the client thought, and the intimacy between the two of them was not voluntary,
"Oh?"
The queen only became a little interested when she heard this, and there was a little more scrutiny in the eyes of Xie Hui.
Some time ago, when her mother entered the palace, several years had passed since the incident, and she had said a few words to her because of this incident, and she was just blaming her son for his unreasonable behavior.
Most of the aristocratic families are noble, and the ones who look down on them the most are those who have fallen into prostitution, especially thank you for being a prince and not yet married a prince concubine.
"Empress Mother, Erchen suspects that there is a conspiracy in that matter. In addition, the father seems to be particularly partial to the sixth younger brother. When the sixth younger brother invited Erchen to the mansion to enjoy flowers, Erchen saw in his study room hanging That painting is exactly what my son asked my father many times, but my father was unwilling to give it to me."
The queens in front were just listening, but when Xie Hui said this, they completely put away their previous idle attitude.
"Are you sure you read it right?"
"Erchen likes that painting very much, so naturally he can't see it wrong."
"When you say that, Bengong also thinks that the hairpin that Concubine Xian was wearing before was something that Bengong took a fancy to a while ago."
Some things seem to be nothing on the surface, but once a thread is pulled out, it is easy to remind people of many things.
"Go out of the palace, you have stayed here for too long, the emperor will doubt it again later."
When she said this, there was some irony in the queen's eyes.
"Mother, my son has been thinking, why not..."
Last night, Xie Hui had this idea, and now the initiative is still in his hands, there is absolutely no need to make compromises, this is also the client's idea.
The queen put her index finger on her lips, and shook her head gently at her son.
Now it is still in the palace, mentioning this inconvenience.
"Even if you haven't seen your grandfather for some days, you might as well go and see him."
The reason why Xie Hui mentioned this matter to the queen was because he wanted to come over to test the queen's meaning.
After all, for the queen, they are a loving couple for many years, and judging from the client's previous posture, the feelings for this mother are not shallow.
Seeing that the queen had no intention of stopping him now, he was relieved and got up to salute the queen.
"Empress mother, son and minister leave."
As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, Lu Shiwei greeted him and said:
"The sixth prince's bodyguard came to His Highness and asked when you have time to come into the mansion."
"No, no time."
After Xie Hui said this, he got into the carriage, and then told the driver to go to his grandfather's house.
In the final analysis, the reason why the client ended up like that was because he wasn't ruthless enough.
He obviously held a good hand of cards, but he played them poorly.
As far as his grandfather is in the family, he is considered the most powerful one. It was preserved in two completely different changes of imperial power, all because of the Xie family's painstaking planning.
In the final analysis, the reason why His Majesty is so afraid of the family is because they have too much power in their hands and too much background.
Moreover, these aristocratic families are all arrogant and arrogant, they only believe the words of the Xie family, and do not listen to His Majesty's words.
However, the emperor has nothing to do with these aristocratic families, so he can only recognize them with his nose pinched.
"His Royal Highness is down?"
After seeing this scene, the guard guarding the gate hurriedly ordered someone to report to the master.
Master Xie put down the pen in his hand after hearing the message, ordered his servants to hang the words he had just written, and hurried out.
Generally speaking, the name of the monarch is taboo, and the subjects must avoid it.
Now His Majesty's surname is Xie, and their family's surname is also Xie. Not only has this surname been preserved, His Majesty has never shown the slightest dissatisfaction.
Master Xie saw the seriousness on the prince's face, and took him to the Huxin Pavilion, leaving no one to wait on him. After hearing Xie Hui's intention, he said:
"The old man thought before that His Highness had no such intention."
"Grandfather, to be honest, it was true before Gu."
Xie Hui readily admitted in front of Master Xie.
Most of the client can understand clearly about government affairs, but he is prone to get confused emotionally, thinking about all kinds of things that his father personally taught him.
Later, it was defeated by indecision.
"Then what happened now that His Highness changed his mind?"
Master Xie did not believe the prince's words just because of his words, and even suspected for a moment that it was His Majesty's conspiracy.
"Before I found out that the father seems to be particularly partial to the sixth younger brother, and in the palace, he often wronged his mother because of the sixth younger brother's biological mother, Concubine Xian."
Xie Hui made up a random reason, and then told his grandfather about his father's plan to support the sixth prince to ascend the throne.
…
After getting out of his grandfather's house and getting into the carriage, Xie Hui took a sip of water from the teacup, and a smile appeared on his lips.
The relationship between the client and Xie's family was not considered close, since he found out that his father didn't like his grandfather's Xie's family, they gradually lost contact.
Fortunately, he came to visit in person today, and realized that his grandfather didn't have any grudges against him because of the unfamiliarity before.
This time, before Xie Hui had time to return to the Prince's Mansion, he first saw the guard who was following him, with a bit of trouble on his face, and said:
"Your Highness, someone from the palace has been sent to say that the emperor has something to invite you into the palace."
"Just say Gu is not free today."
After finishing speaking, Xie returned to the carriage and told the driver to go back to the Prince's Mansion. He hadn't had time to meet the mission object in this world.
Lu Shiwei was stunned for a moment when he heard His Highness's words. After all, no matter what happened before that, as long as he was brought into the palace by the emperor, even in the middle of the night, His Highness would not hesitate to order people to prepare carriage.
After regaining his senses, seeing that the carriage was heading towards the Prince's Mansion, he quickly restrained his thoughts and turned around to deal with this matter.
Today, before His Highness left the Prince's Mansion, Lu Shiwei had ordered the housekeeper to bring the young master out.
At least take good care of it first, don't look too embarrassed, and make His Highness angry.
It is almost inevitable that the young master will be harshly treated, and it is definitely impossible to clean up that child in a short while.
Besides, Lu Shiwei felt that even if it was cleaned up temporarily, it could not be hidden from His Highness's eyes.
Before Xie Hui saw the child, he didn't think that the child would be well taken care of, so he made preparations in his heart.
When he walked to the soft bed and sat down to rest, the serving maid brought him a cup of tea.
"Your Highness, the young master has been brought into the courtyard, do you want to see him?"
"Bring it in."
After Xie Hui gave the order, an elderly nanny walked in leading a young child.
The clothes Xie Yan was wearing were new, but the size was not suitable, and it seemed to be hanging on his body at first glance.
"Are you His Royal Highness?"
The child looked thin and small, but his personality was unexpectedly not introverted. When he asked this sentence, his voice was very loud. After he finished speaking, he stared at Xie Hui with eyes like black grapes.
Seeing that Xie Hui didn't answer, he tilted his head.
Xie Hui put down the teacup, waved at him, and ordered:
"come over."
Xie Yan let go of Nanny's hand and walked over, standing in front of Xie Hui, continuing to stare at him curiously.
"Do you know who Gu is?"
"The mother said, you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Other than that?"
Xie Hui patiently waited for his answer, seeing that he could not come up with an accurate answer after thinking for a long time, he held his little hand in his palm, and said with thin lips:
"Gu is still your father."
