Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui couldn't help but sigh as they looked at Prince Ji in front of them.

Prince Ji's skin was a little dark and he looked tired at the moment, but his eyes were much brighter than before.

It seems that King Ji has suffered a lot in the past ten days, but he has also seen some initial results, and the effects are quite significant.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. We are late." Wang Xuance pretended to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Xue Rengui kept nodding his head to show his agreement with Wang Xuance's words.

It was just that the two of them were performing poorly. Li Shen could tell without even observing them. He could not help but snorted in annoyance and said:

"Hmph, stop pretending, Xuan Ce, can't you learn something good? Who did you learn this hypocrisy from?

You used to be a very upright person, how come you have become so fake now?

Rengui, don't be led astray by him and Wang Hongfu.

Why don't we learn from these two tasteless people? "

After saying that, he glared at Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance smiled awkwardly:

"Your Majesty, isn't this to show the depth of our friendship?"

Wang Xuance also felt that he was too fake, but didn’t he learn it all from you, Prince Ji?

Look at what Wang Hongfu, the chief treasurer of Prince Ji's Mansion, has become like now. He is the kind of person who is close to good people and is corrupted by bad people.

What good can I learn from following such an unreliable master like Prince Ji?

"What friendship? I've been here for more than half a month, and you haven't come to see me. Do you know how much I've suffered?

Look at my face, it's so tanned, how long will it take me to keep myself alive?"

Li Shen sneered at Wang Xuance's words.

"Your Majesty, my coming here is of no use. This is the order of His Majesty, and it has been stated that anyone who disobeys the order will be executed.

No matter how brave I am, I dare not help you, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, this is all for your own good. The Ji Palace depends on you, Prince Ji, to expand.

You should....”

"Wait!! Branching out? How do you know this?"

Before Wang Xuance finished speaking, Li Shen felt something was wrong, because only the people present at the time knew that he was infertile.

He didn't remember that Wang Xuance was present at the time.

Li Shen turned to look at Xue Rengui and asked:

"In that case, you know that too?"

"I don't know, I don't know. I don't know anything and I haven't heard anything."

Seeing Li Shen's murderous look, Xue Rengui quickly waved his hands to deny it.

Li Shen knew from Xue Rengui's expression that he must have known it too.

Shit, this matter won’t spread, Li Shen cursed in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I know that it was His Majesty who said this. He ordered me not to come to visit you, and anyone who disobeys his order will be executed.

It was I who told General Xue about this.

But there are some discussions about this in the outside world." Wang Xuance said truthfully.

"Some discussion? You bastard, you actually dare to criticize me. Don't you know that my father is the emperor?

Find out for me who spread the news and who is talking about it in the outside world.

Arrest all those who are talking about this, smash their toes one by one, and pull out their fingernails one by one.

Then the five punishments were carried out, and finally the body was chopped up and fed to dogs.

Cough...cough..." Li Shen shouted at the top of his lungs.

His tone was filled with resentment and murderous intent.

The air in the entire tent condensed and the temperature dropped by several degrees.

"Your Highness, calm down, calm down." Shitou hurried forward and patted Li Shen on the back to calm him down.

Wang Xuance quickly replied:

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter was spread by His Majesty's people. The servants in Prince Ji's mansion are very well-behaved.

And rarely come into contact with people.

I'm afraid this matter is difficult to investigate.

But as long as the prince returns, the rumors will naturally be refuted."

The servants that Li Shen could bring out could be said to be Li Shen’s confidants. Most of them were eunuchs from the palace, and some were maids.

Even if they were not palace maids, they were men recruited from large and small imperial estates, and they had followed Li Shen for many years.

These people’s salaries are much higher than those of ordinary servants, and their benefits are also higher than those of others.

As long as the eunuchs reached the age of fifty, or were unable to work due to illness or injury, Prince Ji's Mansion would send them to the nursing home in the imperial farm to take care of them until the end of their lives.

If the maids wanted to get married, Prince Ji's Mansion would find unmarried men for them in their fiefdom.

Especially for the maids who came to work in the palace from the imperial farms, as long as they reached the age of marriage, Prince Ji's palace would prepare a dowry and marry them off with great ceremony.

All the farms around Chang'an, even the unmarried men in Chang'an city, wanted to marry the girls from Li Shen's four farms.

The dowry alone was enough to pay them for decades of work, and the wages they received working in Prince Ji's mansion made everyone jealous.

Therefore, Wang Xuance felt that the people brought by Prince Ji would definitely not tell anyone.

The problem must be with Your Majesty, which is difficult to find out.

Li Shen pursed his lips, frowned, and looked angry. Finally, he said:

"Hmph, let's find out first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"By the way, what brought you two here today?" After complaining for a while, Li Shen started to talk about business.

"I just want to report the recent events to the prince. Our guard battalion has been guarding the outer streets of the Protectorate, not allowing anyone to get close.

Half of the sharp blades are responsible for patrolling the nearby high points, and the other half are in the prince's yard, so that if anything happens they can protect His Majesty in the first place.

But..." Xue Rengui said this with some hesitation.

"But what? Stop nagging and just say it." Li Shen said impatiently.

"Your Highness." Xue Rengui looked around Li Shen.

Li Shen immediately understood what was going on and raised his hand.

"You all can go out now. You don't have to wait here anymore."

Shitou said something to the eunuchs in the big tent, and then told them that no one dared to leave the tent, while he stood at the door of the tent and looked around.

"Go ahead."

"Your Highness, I have discovered that there is someone with suspicious behavior among the guards." Xue Rengui said cautiously.

"Looking suspicious? What does "looking suspicious" mean?" Li Shen was stunned and didn't understand.

"Your Highness, one of the guards entered the inner house without permission while he was away on duty."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Shen's face suddenly turned ugly. Although he was not an emperor, he was still a prince after all.

When a prince reaches adulthood, he sets up his own palace, which is divided into the Prince's Palace and the Prince's Palace. If he has a fiefdom, he also has a Prince's Kingdom.

The Qinshifu was Li Shen’s private agency, which included guards and various ceremonial objects.

There is also an inner house here.

Most of the princes' inner houses are filled with maids, and there are very few men. I believe everyone knows the reason.

Li Shen took over many eunuchs who were laid off from the imperial palace, and some of them were also responsible for handling heavy goods.

Therefore, apart from the patrolling guards, there were no other men in the inner quarters of Prince Ji's mansion.

Guard patrols always involve several people going together. No one is allowed to act alone for any reason. This is an iron rule.

Now that Xue Rengui told him that a guard had entered Li Shen's inner residence without permission, the significance of this was extraordinary.

(I’m so sorry for writing it late yesterday and forgetting to upload it on time.

I'm really sorry, everyone.

I hope everyone can understand the mentality of a middle-aged man who has been dumped.

Pay attention to this later.)
