After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 975 Please ask
King Kang left helplessly.

He has now moved out of the imperial palace and moved into his own new palace - although it was rebuilt from an abandoned old palace, it was the residence prepared for the late Emperor Deguang, his unpopular legitimate son, during his reign, and it is not very close to the imperial palace, but Prince Kang is still very happy living there.

He had been living in a cramped environment since he was born. When he was young, he lived in a small courtyard beside the Cining Palace garden. When he grew up and his identity was made public, he still lived in the Cining Palace, but he no longer had to hide from people and could leave the small courtyard and walk outside. No matter how bad the current Kang Wang Mansion is, it is ten times larger than the Cining Palace. Moreover, he is the owner of the palace. He can live wherever he wants and visit the garden whenever he wants without worrying about meeting any bad people with bad intentions. Now that the Sun family has fallen, the throne has been decided. When he is in better health, he can even go to the streets outside the palace with his servants, or go out of the city to play and see the mountain scenery... Thinking of such a situation, the mood of Kang Wang improved again, and even his steps became much more cheerful.

Even if it is just to prolong such an easy and free life for a few more years, he must take good care of his health!

After Prince Kang left, Jin Jiashu wanted to bow to the new monarch and say goodbye, and then go out of the palace directly. However, before he could formally bow, he was helped up by the new monarch.

The new emperor said to him very seriously: "Brother Jin, when you leave the palace, it will be more convenient for you to visit my brother than for me. Can you go to see him more often? And by the way, ask if anyone is talking nonsense in his ear?"

Jin Jiashu was stunned: "Why did the emperor say that? Is there anything wrong with the request that King Kang made just now?" Although they were cousins ​​on the surface, Jin Jiashu knew very well that the young emperor in front of him was his brother from the same mother. Whether out of family affection or for his own future, he had to help this brother to secure the throne. Although he had a good relationship with King Kang, King Kang's weight was much lighter than that of the new emperor.

The new emperor shook his head and said, "I can't say there is anything wrong. I trust my brother and know he has no ill intentions towards me." Although he is young, he is very clear-headed. If it weren't for King Kang's initiative to give in, even if the late emperor hated the legitimate son, it would not be so easy for him, the youngest son of a concubine, to surpass his brother and become the crown prince. King Kang once spoke for him in front of the old students of Wumen and a group of conservative ministers, persuading them to support his succession to the throne. Even without mentioning the brotherhood between the two brothers who have relied on each other for many years, the new emperor is also aware of King Kang's kindness to him and never doubts that his brother would have ill intentions towards him.

He was just confused. Why did King Kang suddenly propose to take King Qi to the Kang Palace to be raised? King Kang himself was a patient with many calamities and had not yet married or had children. He had no experience in taking care of babies. Why would he want to take his younger brother away for no reason?
Is someone whispering nonsense in his ear?

The new monarch did not think that King Kang did this in order to use King Qi as a bargaining chip to gain some political benefits for himself. Instead, he suspected that King Kang had heard some remarks outside the palace and was planning to take on the trouble of King Qi on behalf of Queen Mother Xu and the new monarch, so that they would not have to worry about him.

If Prince Qi cannot be raised, the responsibility will be borne by him as the prince, and the blame cannot be put on the new monarch and his mother.

If Prince Qi is successfully raised, and Prince Kang carefully educates him, there is no need to worry that he will become an ungrateful person who listens to the instigation of outsiders and harms the new emperor. The new emperor believes that with Prince Kang's temper, he is capable of such a thing. But as a good brother, how can the new emperor let his brother take the trouble? As the new owner of the palace, the new emperor is very clear about Prince Qi's physical condition. It is precisely because this little brother has not been in good health since he was born, and he always gets sick once every ten days or half a month, that the wet nurses and maids around him are particularly alarmed and always suspect that someone in the palace wants to harm them.

If this child entered the palace of Prince Kang and was in an unfamiliar environment, who knows if there would be any bad influence? Prince Kang was bound to bear the blame.

But King Kang had lived a miserable life since childhood, and now he can finally live a happy and comfortable life. How can the new king bear to see his brother suffer injustice?
He told Jin Jiashu his thoughts and asked his elder brother to help him: "My brother sometimes refuses to tell me what he really thinks, he just doesn't want to embarrass me. He and my cousin Jin can still talk about their true feelings. Please help me find out. If there are any malicious villains outside who want to sow discord between us brothers, I will never tolerate it once I know about it!"

Jin Jiashu understood and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely pay close attention!"

Xinjun smiled again and held Jin Jiashu's hands: "My dear cousin, I knew you were the most reliable!"

The new emperor was very close to his two elder brothers. When he sent Prince Kang out of the palace before, he was already reluctant to let him go. Now he was also reluctant to send Jin Jiashu off. He ordered people to prepare rich gifts in advance, and repeatedly reminded Jin Jiashu: "When you have free time, come back to the palace to see me and the two queens more often, and don't just play outside." He lowered his voice and said, "In the house given to you by the Queen Mother, if the servants in it don't obey orders, cousin, just come back and tell me, I will make the decision for you and replace them all! Since the house was given to you, you are the master. There is no reason for a servant to disobey the master's orders and only care about doing things for others."

Jin Jiashu agreed with a smile, but he didn't really take it to heart. He had already agreed with Hai Meime through Hai Jiao that in the future they would buy another piece of land and build a house, a new home that would suit his taste completely. He didn't plan to live in the house given by Queen Mother Xu for a long time, he just needed to leave it there. On weekdays, he would enshrine the tablets of the ancestors of the Jin family in it, and only tell the outside world that it was the main house. In fact, he would only take his wife and children back to live for a few days when he needed to go to the palace, because the house was close to the palace and convenient for travel. The rest of the time, he would stay in the quiet "separate courtyard" to read. If he kept the servants in the mansion, they would take good care of the house, and he wouldn't have to worry about it, so why replace them? Anyway, the new servants were also spies sent by others, and he didn't trust them at all.

I don't know if the new emperor guessed what was in Jin Jiashu's mind. He held his "cousin's" hand, his face full of intimacy and sincerity: "After my cousin leaves the palace, I think he will have his wedding soon, right? It's Laba Festival soon, and the 100-day national mourning will be over in a few days after Laba Festival. After my cousin puts the new house in order, we can prepare for the wedding. I have begged the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother, but they refused to let me leave the palace to attend my cousin's wedding. But I will give him a gift. When my cousin gets married, you must bring your sister-in-law to the palace to see me. I also want to know what the girl that my cousin has been thinking about looks like and what her personality is like?

"Don't worry, cousin. I'm here! The Queen Mother will never let your sister-in-law suffer any grievances—"
