Chapter 2090 King Ji is even more ruthless
In fact, Concubine Wei has always had the best relationship with her daughter Li Mengjiang.
When she was young, Li Mengjiang was a normal child who clung to her mother. When she grew up and went to the Princess Courtyard, she would come to chat with Concubine Wei every day.
Li Shen had been abnormal since childhood. He seldom had any in-depth communication with Concubine Wei and always behaved in a conventional manner.
After the meeting, Li Shen also respected Concubine Wei very much, after all, she was his biological mother.
Of course, this also has something to do with Li Shen himself.
Therefore, Concubine Wei was quite concerned about her daughter.
Now, his daughter has been married for several years and has only given birth to one child. After that, his son-in-law Zhou Daowu was often sent abroad. He first went to Qinghai Road and stayed there for more than a year, and now he has been sent to the Tubo border and stayed there for more than a year.
As her daughter and son-in-law were rarely together, Concubine Wei felt sorry for her daughter.
"How does mother know?" The matter of transferring Zhou Daowu was a deal he made with his father, so no one else should know about it.
"It was your father who told me." Concubine Wei said frankly.
"Oh, indeed, I did transfer Zhou Daowu to Anxi Protectorate." Li Shen suddenly realized after hearing this.
"I know you want to give Zhou Daowu a chance to make merit, but Shen'er, for your sister's sake, it's better not to put Zhou Daowu in danger.
It is not important whether you have made any contribution or not. What your mother hopes most is that your elder sister and Zhou Daowu can stay together in peace.
If I can hold an official position in the court, and with your help, I will have no problem living a life of wealth and glory."
Concubine Wei looked at her son and gave soft instructions.
Li Shen nodded quickly.
"Don't worry, mother. I won't let Zhou Daowu go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. I will go to Anxi to stay in Anxi. As long as I can ensure the food and grass, it will be a credit.
I just brought Zhou Daowu with me.
When I come back from Anxi Protectorate, I can bring Zhou Daowu back with good reason, and there is no need for him to stay at the border any longer.
The situation in Tibet is unclear now, and I don’t know how long I will have to stay at the border.”
Li Shen understood his mother's situation. Although the harem could not interfere in government affairs, the news was not isolated and they knew more about many things than outsiders.
The Anxi Protectorate was not peaceful, so Li Shen was sent to Anxi. Concubine Wei was worried that if a war broke out, her son would be fine.
Given Li Shen's status and the fact that he is weak and powerless, he would not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
But Zhou Daowu is a military general and he must go to the battlefield. If anything happens to him, what will happen to his daughter?
“My son has grown up, and since you have your own plans, I won’t ask any more questions.
Sigh~~~~ Your sister has only been married for a few years, and Zhou Daowu has been away for nearly three years, leaving your sister alone in the empty room. Mother is a little sad. "
When Concubine Wei heard that her son had made arrangements, she felt relieved, but she still sighed.
"Don't worry, mother. My sister is still young. If Zhou Daowu dies, she can just remarry. My sister has millions of dollars in wealth, and countless nobles are fighting for her. How could she... Oh my!!"
Li Shen originally wanted to comfort his mother. After all, his sister was young, only in her twenties. Even if she was a widow, with his power and Li Mengjiang's property,
It’s inconceivable how many second-generation disciples will scramble frantically for Li Mengjiang. By that time, there will be enough people to host a talent show.
But before he could finish comforting her, Concubine Wei hit him on the head and Li Shen cried out in pain.
"You are such a child who likes to talk nonsense. Your sister and Zhou Daowu are also very close friends. After they got married, they treated each other with respect and admiration, and their relationship has always been very good.
If something happened to Zhou Daowu, have you ever thought about how heartbroken your sister would be?
Are you willing to see your sister enter the house again?" Concubine Wei looked at Li Shen with a reproachful look. Her son was indeed a little out of tune sometimes, no wonder he was often beaten.
I wanted to beat him up myself.
"The second time you enter the marriage, the wife must be the legal wife. So what does it matter?" Li Shen touched the place on his head where he was hit and muttered softly.
"What did you say?" Concubine Wei immediately widened her eyes and looked at Li Shen.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, mother, don't worry, I will never let anything happen to Zhou Daowu, I will let him stay by my side all the time."
Li Shen waved his hands quickly.
"You are still so impetuous in doing things. You have been like this since you were a child. However, you saved His Majesty this time, which will make you more favored by His Majesty and the Queen. Don't take advantage of your favor and become arrogant.
besides....."
Concubine Wei stretched out her finger and touched Li Shen's forehead, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
"You guys go wait for me outside." Li Shen turned around and gave an order to the eunuch who followed him. He felt that his mother had something to say.
"Your Highness Prince Ji is not dressed properly." An eunuch behind him saluted and said.
"Hmm?" Li Shen frowned and his expression changed.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, please calm down. He doesn't know the rules. I will wait outside. Please don't blame me, Prince Ji."
Seeing this, Wang Xing, who was accompanying him, hurriedly bowed to Li Shen, then gave a wink to the eunuchs nearby and led everyone out.
"Wang Geishi, this...isn't this against the rules? If anything goes wrong, I'm afraid we will all be implicated."
As soon as he stepped out of the door, the eunuch who came with him asked Wang Xing in a low voice.
“Bullshit, if you don’t come out, we won’t even be able to wait until we are implicated.
Who do you think that person is? That's Prince Ji, who just saved your Majesty's life. Even I, Ganye, have to be wary of Prince Ji. You don't even know how you died."
Wang Xing immediately shouted angrily after hearing this. He thought to himself, you guys want to die, but I haven't lived long enough. That's not an ordinary prince.
"My Lord, even if this is the case, this is also the duty of our Ministry of Internal Affairs. If His Majesty knows about this, or if the Lord Chief Steward knows about this,
We can’t afford it.”
Of course Prince Ji and the others had heard of it, but they belonged to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and unlike the ordinary maids and eunuchs who served people, they all held official positions.
On weekdays, they were responsible for the internal affairs of the palace. They had followed princes before, such as the Prince of Jin, the Prince of Wei, or other princes who returned to Beijing. They all followed them.
This is the rule and also their responsibility.
"Don't worry, Ganye won't blame you if he finds out. The person in there is Prince Ji's biological mother. Do you think anything else will happen?
This is your first time meeting Prince Ji, so I need to remind you of some things. If you want to live long in the imperial palace, you must keep your eyes open.
Who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked, and Prince Ji is ranked first in the palace.
Even His Majesty would not punish us without reason, but Prince Ji would, and he would be even more cruel than His Majesty."
Wang Xing took a private look before daring to quietly remind the eunuchs.
(If I say I overslept, will anyone believe me?)
