Chapter 103 Do you want to go to the East Palace?
"Do you want to go to the East Palace?"
Liu Zhao smiled.
"Your Highness!" Xie Chan was frightened. She instantly loosened her arms around Liu Zhao, broke free and knelt down.
"Your Highness, please kill me!"
"What are you doing? Why should I kill you?"
Liu Zhao felt that his test was a bit boring, but he still tried it anyway.
I didn’t expect Xie Chan to react so strongly!
"Your Highness, are you going to kill me?"
Xie Chan read the sentence again.
"I'm not going to kill you. I just want you to go to the East Palace. Why, you don't want to go?"
Liu Zhao smiled.
Unexpectedly, Xie Chan didn't want to go to the Eastern Palace even after hearing that Sima Yu was sentenced to death.
"Your Highness, I am but a butcher's family. It is a great blessing that I have survived until now. How dare I have such unreasonable expectations!"
As Xie Chan spoke, tears fell from her eyes.
"I was just talking casually. If you don't want to go, then just don't go!" Liu Zhao nodded slightly.
It seems that Xie Chan really has no idea about power.
"Your Highness, you are the Crown Prince of the Great Jing Dynasty. I am extremely grateful to Your Highness for your repeated favors. Even if I die, I will not complain at all!"
"I understand! Get up! Just don't go!"
Liu Zhao pulled Xie Chan up.
Xie Chan hugged Liu Zhao, her body trembling.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
Xie Chan sobbed.
"Alright! Stop it, I was just saying it casually, just stay in the West Palace and relax!"
"Yeah!" Xie Chan leaned on Liu Zhao's shoulder.
I can't say anything!
"Are your parents okay?"
Liu Zhao asked.
It seems that it is not easy to deal with the father-in-law whom I have never met!
"Your Highness, my father has no worries about food and clothing since I entered the palace! I'm sorry to trouble you, Your Highness!"
Xie Chan said softly.
"If you don't go to the East Palace, what about your parents, do they need my help?"
"Your Highness, my parents are just butchers. As long as we can make a living, we don't need your help!"
"Okay!" Liu Zhao couldn't believe that Xie Chan didn't even need help from her own parents, and he was suddenly touched.
"Then go to sleep!"
Liu Zhao turned over and put her on the bed.
"Your Highness!" Xie Chan was so embarrassed that she couldn't open her eyes.
The night was filled with spring beauty, and when I woke up it was already bright.
"I have to go!"
This young body is great, and with my forty-year-old mindset, why the hell am I always obsessed with women!
I almost missed something big.
Liu Zhao got up hurriedly.
"Your Highness, I will help you change your clothes!"
Xie Chan hurriedly got up to help Liu Zhao wash and groom.
It took another half a moment to walk out the door.
Ma Zhuang was already waiting outside the door.
Not far away, Ma Zhuang said, "Your Highness, I have something to report!"
"Speak!" Liu Zhao's eyes suddenly fixed on Ma Zhuang.
What do you think about me sleeping with a talented person?
Ma Zhuang felt a little guilty for a moment. This was really not the right time to say that!
But he still said with a stiff upper lip: "After Your Highness left the palace the day before yesterday, I knew that Your Highness might return to the villa soon!"
"What? Are you following me?" Liu Zhao stared at Ma Zhuang.
Are you still going to follow me?
Ma Zhuang lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, I dare not!"
"Then what do you mean? What do you think of my going to the West Palace?"
"Your Highness, please listen to me!"
Ma Zhuang has already risked everything.
"Speak now! If you say it's not right, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Liu Zhao didn’t know what kind of plane Ma Zhuang was going to make!
"Your Highness is my master. I swear allegiance to Your Highness until death. Your Highness's woman is the one I swear to protect with my life. So I have some thoughts. I am stupid and said something wrong. Please punish me, Your Highness!"
"what idea?"
Ma Zhuang expressed his opinion first, and Liu Zhao felt much more relieved.
Whether to punish or not depends on what the person did!
"With Wen Yong guarding the West Palace, there will naturally be no safety issues!"
"What do you mean?"
"Your Highness is now the crown prince, and you are in the spotlight. I'm afraid someone is trying to trip you up! And your daughter might very well become the target of exploitation!"
"Tripping someone up? What are you talking about? Why are you using my woman for this?"
Liu Zhao's mind moved, what exactly was Ma Zhuang going to say!
He's just a bodyguard, why is he talking so much nonsense?
"Your Highness, I dare not make irresponsible comments on the affairs of the court, but I do have the responsibility to protect your Highness's woman!"
"My woman?"
Liu Zhao was very interested.
"I intend to recruit some trustworthy people to protect the security of the other courtyard. If Your Highness thinks it is feasible, I will arrange it right away!"
"Recruit trustworthy people?" Liu Zhao was stunned.
He then angrily rebuked in a deep voice: "How dare you act on your own?"
"I dare not. I just think that if Your Highness often visits the other courtyard in the future, you must be fully prepared. Whether it is appropriate or not still depends on Your Highness's will. If it is not allowed, I will not dare to act!"
Ma Zhuang immediately knelt down, but what he said made sense.
"If anyone knew, you would die quickly!"
Liu Zhao lowered his voice, but his meaning was very straightforward.
"I know my limits, but for the safety of Your Highness, I will not regret my death!"
Not to mention that Ma Zhuang has a good IQ, he is also a top-notch flatterer.
"Seeing that you care about me, I'll give it some thought, but I have to make sure it's absolutely safe!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Let's see how he understands the word "foolproof"!
It can be understood as ensuring that Liu Zhao is safe and sound so that he can do things and recruit people.
It can also be understood as ensuring that things are foolproof and must be kept highly confidential.
It depends on Ma Zhuang's understanding.
"Go back! I want to read Buddhist scriptures!"
"I resign!"
After Ma Zhuang finished speaking, he left quickly.
Liu Zhao sat on the stool and thought about it. Ma Zhuang's idea was not bad. He dared to say it out loud, which meant he was very confident!
Read Buddhist scriptures!
You still have to pretend!
Go to the study and pick up the Buddhist scriptures!
This Buddhist scripture is so obscure and difficult to understand that I have no desire to read on.
I flipped through a few pages randomly and fell into deep thought.
Is it likely that you will go to provide disaster relief?
How to do it?
I can't help but combine the information I learned from watching the news with historical events, which may be useful.
While considering various measures.
Meng Yuanyuan said outside the door, "Your Highness, the eunuch Zhang Hong is here to deliver the decree!"
Liu Zhao shuddered, it seemed that he would have to go to provide disaster relief!
He stood up immediately and opened the door.
Zhang Hong was already standing outside the door with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has issued an order. Please accept it!"
"My son, I accept the order!"
Liu Zhao was obviously a little flustered and was about to kneel down.
Zhang Hong smiled slightly, then immediately stopped Liu Zhao from kneeling and said, "Your Highness, this is a verbal order, no need to bow!"
"Thank you, eunuch!"
Zhang Hong is a popular figure around Liu Yan and is deeply trusted by Liu Yan.
At this time, Liu Zhao was not sure whether he had colluded with other ministers, but he knew in his heart that he must not offend him.
Even if he was the crown prince, offending these eunuchs would probably cause endless harm.
So I respect him very much.
"You are so annoying!"
Zhang Hong said this, but he felt very happy in his heart.
But I can't help but admire that the Buddhist scriptures have such wonderful uses.
The prince's wisdom grew so rapidly.
"The Emperor has ordered Your Highness to go to Xuande Hall immediately to provide disaster relief with the Minister of Finance, Du Zheng!"
"Yes!" Liu Zhao agreed immediately and had already prepared himself mentally.
He went out and got on the ox cart prepared by Zhang Hong and headed straight for Xuande Hall.
Originally, Liu Zhao thought that Liu Yan would also be in the Xuande Hall, but when he arrived, there was no sign of Liu Yan at all.
