Zhao Bai did not meet Zhao Shun until the sun went down.

Murong Duan walked to Wang Deyi's side, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, it's almost four hours, even if our lord's body is made of iron, we can't bear it, isn't your majesty free?"

Wang Deyi sighed, and said: "Lord Murong, don't worry, I will go in and ask you again."

"Thank you, my lord." Murong Duan said.

Wang Deyi entered the door and asked, "Your Majesty, the regent has been waiting for a long time, do you think... do you want him to come in first?"

"Forget it, let him go back first, the wind is piercing outside, remember to send someone to deliver some supplements later, please have a good rest in the palace." Zhao Bai said.

"Yes……"

Wang Deyi went out, saluted first, and then said: "Your Majesty, your majesty is busy with government affairs today, and you really don't have time to spare. You should come back first."

Zhao Shun took a deep breath, cupped his fists and saluted in the direction of the dragon chair in the imperial study, and said, "Chen, please leave."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, and Murong Duan quickly followed.

"My lord, all civil and military officials probably know that you entered the palace today, but you have waited for so long, and His Majesty has not seen you, which makes you embarrassed..." Murong Duan said.

"It's okay, His Majesty has his considerations." Zhao Shun said.

"The Empress Dowager sent someone to invite you, but you didn't go, I think the Empress Dowager must be very angry." Murong Duan said.

Zhao Shun chuckled, "The empress dowager has long hated this king, so why should this king bother me. As for other people, this king can't control so much."

"My lord, you have been standing in the cold wind for so long, go back to your residence and find an imperial doctor to take a look." Murong Duan said.

Zhao Shun glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you so noisy today? It's only been four hours, and your prince can still bear it."

"This subordinate just thinks that His Majesty should see you anyway. If there is no time, he should have made it clear early on that he shouldn't let you wait for nothing." Murong Duan said dissatisfied.

"Forget it, I won't be returning to the mansion for the time being, you can accompany me to Su Wang's other courtyard." Zhao Shun said.

Murong Duan was surprised, "My lord is going to see His Highness Sixth?"

"Why, I'm going to see my cousin, can't I?" Zhao Shun said.

"Uh... this subordinate is worried that if the Empress Dowager finds out, she will mistakenly think that you are plotting something wrong." Murong Duan said.

"This king doesn't care."

……

Although Suwang's Mansion is temporarily called Wang's Mansion, it is actually Zhao Su's other courtyard. The place is not big, there are only three courtyards, but it is relatively close to Da Nei. Zhao Su lives here, and the Empress Dowager is also at ease.

Arriving at the gate of Suwang's mansion, Murong Duan said: "Our Prince Regent is here to visit Suwang today, please let me know."

"……Yes."

The guards were very nervous when they saw the regent coming, but they didn't dare to stop them, so they had to go in and report back.

When Zhao Su heard that Zhao Shun was coming, he quickly ordered the guards to invite him in.

The guards did not relax their vigilance. After the regent entered the door, they quietly sent someone to the palace to tell the Queen Mother the news.

In the main courtyard, Zhao Su was waiting by the desk, Zhao Shun entered the door, and greeted with fists.

"Minister Zhao Shun, I have seen His Highness the Sixth Highness."

"Brother Shun, don't call your Highness anymore now, you and I are the same people, please sit down quickly. Come and serve tea."

Zhao Shun sat down, picked up the tea cup brought by the maid, took a sip, and looked around the room.

"Wang Su is hiding here now, with red sleeves adding fragrance, poetic and picturesque, but he is at ease." Zhao Shun said.

Zhao Su smiled, "Brother Shun was joking. You also know the temper of the queen mother. Brother Wang is not hiding here, but trapped here. The so-called burning incense and painting is just a boring pastime."

Zhao Shun also smiled, and said: "Now that there is a resurgence in the court, I am not the high-spirited and powerful regent at the beginning. Your Highness, I have something to ask you."

Zhao Su lowered his eyes, sighed softly, then took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "If it's about the throne, Brother Wang should not be so respectful. Back then, Brother Wang supported Fifth Brother, and I knew it in my heart. Now I see Fifth Brother sits firmly in the court, and I feel much more at ease, even though the situation is changing today, I have no intention of seizing the throne."

"Although Your Highness thinks so, the Empress Dowager always feels that you are the best candidate to succeed her. Since she ascended the throne today, the Empress Dowager has never given up on this idea." Zhao Shun said.

Zhao Su nodded lightly, "I have pity on the hearts of the parents in the world. Since the death of the father and the prince and brother, the queen mother seems to have a demon in her heart. It is hard for the brother and your majesty to hide the truth from the mother all the time."

Zhao Shun didn't speak, Zhao Su smiled and said: "Although I don't care about the affairs of the court, I also know it in my heart. If the father really wants me to inherit the great line, I am a legitimate son, and I am justified. Why do you have to push Brother Wang as the regent and let you decide the candidate for the new emperor? It is clear that the father had to let the king bear all this in order to save the face of me and the mother. But the mother is unwilling to admit the truth. I have been living in resentment, fighting against Brother Wang and Sister Wang everywhere."

"The Empress Dowager is my aunt, who has taken good care of me since I was a child, how can I bear it?" Zhao Shun said.

"Brother Wang, it's been such a long time, and it's time to let it pass. As the son of the queen mother, I am also her only concern. I can't do things that hurt her, so I still have to trouble Brother Wang with these things. The truth is clear. One day, even if you want to come to your mother, you will regret what you have done." Zhao Su said.

After listening to his words, Zhao Shun was very relieved, and joked: "Wang Su is really like a hermit now, what he said makes people enlightened and has a sense of enlightenment."

"Brother Wang was joking, Mr. Wang, after all, we are the ones who are sorry for you." Zhao Su said.

"I am your cousin, and I am also your cousin. We are all a family. Why do you need to say such outrageous words. It's getting late today. King Su has a good rest, so I won't bother you." Zhao Shun said, stood up.

Zhao Su also stood up and bowed his fists, "Brother Wang, walk slowly, come and sit down more when you have time, let's have a good chat and have a few more drinks."

"Okay, we won't return until we're drunk." Zhao Shun said.

"If you don't get drunk, you won't return." Zhao Su said.

……

With Jialan in the middle, Shen Qinglan was anxious, holding Ziheng in her arms, fidgeting restlessly.

"Fu'er, send someone to see if the prince is back." Shen Qinglan said.

"The maidservant has sent someone to inquire just now, Wangfei, don't worry, the prince should be back soon." Fu'er said.

Ziheng in his arms looked at Shen Qinglan eagerly, then smiled suddenly, his little hands were enough for the hairpin on her head.

"Okay, okay, father will be back soon." Shen Qinglan said.

After a while, Zhao Shun entered the room.

"My lord, why did you come back so late?" Shen Qinglan asked.

Zhao Shun was worried that the cold air on his body would chill his wife and children, so he walked to the side of the charcoal basin, and while warming himself by the fire, he said, "Your Majesty has not received you. After I came out of the palace, I went to Suwangfu again, so it was a bit late. Let me You're worried."

"What does His Highness Six say?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"The Sixth Highness is transparent, so I don't need to say anything more." Zhao Shun said.

Shen Qinglan walked to Zhao Shun's side, Zhao Shun couldn't help stretching out his hand, and touched Ziheng's little hand.

Zi Heng looked at him and smiled, Zhao Shun only felt that the chill on his body was instantly dispelled.

"It's reasonable for His Majesty not to see you. If you take this opportunity to go back to the palace, most civil and military officials will guess whether you regret supporting Jin Shang." Shen Qinglan said.

Zhao Shun lowered his head to tease Zu Ziheng, and said: "This king has received His Majesty's cold treatment, and he went to visit His Highness the Sixth Highness again, which is more in line with the name of this king's domineering and arbitrary."

"Have a bowl of hot soup first, and we'll have dinner later." After Shen Qinglan said that, she looked at Fu'er, who immediately stepped forward and took Xiao Shizi.
