Hou Junji's face turned even darker. … …
Looking at the thing on Li Chengqian's lips, he chided, "Your Highness Crown Prince, you are the heir to the throne. Look at what you're doing!
"Look at what's on your lips! If the other ministers see this and impeach you in court, you … "
Only now did Li Chengqian realize what he was talking about. Taking off the mask that Zhang Feng had worn on his chin, he asked, "You're talking about this?"
"This isn't anything else. It's something that Feng Zi, President Zhang, made."
Li Chengqian's casual tone infuriated Hou Junji!
He should have been returning to Luozhou after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but because the Crown Prince had been poisoned, he had found an excuse to stay a few more days. Although the Emperor was displeased, there was nothing he could do.
How could he not be angry when he saw the Crown Prince wearing such makeup?
Who was the Crown Prince?
He was the heir to the Tang Dynasty. What did white signify?
Wearing such an inauspicious thing on one's lips would smear the reputation of the imperial household, but what would the Crown Prince's supporters think?
Although the Crown Prince's poisoning had been kept a secret, many people still knew about it. Although many people did not approve of the Crown Prince's experiments at Chang 'an University, they tacitly approved of Zhang Feng's miraculous abilities. But now, the Crown Prince's life was in danger.
It was inevitable that they would panic.
If they knew that the Crown Prince was wearing such a thing on his lips, they would panic even more!
Could it be that you didn't think of this?
Li Chengqian was a cowardly and timid person, and he was also a little paranoid, to the point that he was somewhat indecisive. This was something that everyone in the court knew.
Hou Junji had wanted to use the Mid-Autumn Festival and the opening of the Academy to build up a relationship with the Crown Prince, but …
If those who opposed the Crown Prince and those who didn't think highly of the Crown Prince saw Li Chengqian's current appearance and spoke about it, what would the consequences be?
That …
Wouldn't the plan that Hou Junji had been planning for so long be ruined?
How could Hou Junji not be furious?
Li Chengqian didn't really care, but when he saw Hou Junji's expression, he hurriedly said, "Father-in-law …"
"This Old Man is not worthy. Your Highness Crown Prince, please call me Duke Chen or Old Man Hou Junji. I ask that Crown Prince always remember the etiquette between sovereign and subject!"
Li Chengqian was a little speechless, but he still gestured for the two to sit down. Then, he said, "I know that Duke Chen is imagining things, but Duke Chen is overthinking things!"
"Duke Chen, do you still remember that I was poisoned?"
How could Hou Junji not know of this?
The one who felt the most uncomfortable and awkward was Imperial Doctor Zhou.
He was well aware of the relationship between Hou Junji and the Crown Prince. Who in the palace didn't know?
It was also because of this that the Emperor allowed Duke Chen to guard Luozhou. The reason behind this …
There was no need to talk about it.
Hou Junji was an extremely shrewd and shrewd person. Anyone could see this. Moreover, as the Crown Prince's father-in-law, he had worried himself to death over the Crown Prince's affairs. This made the Emperor very displeased, and the officials of the palace were even more displeased. But alas, Hou Junji was one of the Emperor's favored officials, and Hou Junji had performed a great service at Xuanwu Gate, so the Emperor found it rather hard to swallow his pride.
At this time, he was caught in the middle of this, and he could neither leave nor stay. … …
He had originally come to examine the Crown Prince's injuries, but it was no longer appropriate for him to leave. He could only brace himself and listen to the conversation between the two.
But how could he avoid this matter?
A few moments later, the matter really did involve him.
Li Chengqian looked at Imperial Doctor Zhou and said, "Imperial Doctor Zhou, this Emperor asks you: back on the mountain, when Fengzi operated on Niu Jianhu, you were also present. This Emperor asks you: do you still remember what Fengzi said?"
Imperial Doctor Zhou sighed. "Replying to Crown Prince's words, this lowly official still remembers! How could this lowly official not remember something that would be recorded in the annals of history? "
"Very well. This Emperor asks you: back then, when Fengzi covered Niu Jianhu with that white cloth, as well as used to bandage Niu Jianhu's wounds, do you still remember what Fengzi said?"
"I remember …"
Li Chengqian nodded and said to Hou Junji, "Duke of Chen, you were also present at the scene. You should also remember what Fengzi said. This brother, that bandage, and that white cloth are the same!
"Moreover, the day after tomorrow, when Zhang Feng opened up Niu Jianhu's wounds and examined them, you were also present. The material of this thing is also the same. It isolates the air from the virus. Just think, if Niu Jianhu's severe wounds could be covered with this, do you think that Fengzi would be able to come up with something that could harm this Emperor?"
"Then … this thing, when worn on the mouth, is always indecent." Hou Junji naturally remembered Zhang Feng's words.
After all, with Li Chengqian's revered status, this thing could be used by others, but not by him!
But at this moment, Li Chengqian asked, "Do you still remember how this Emperor was poisoned?
"Do you still remember how General Niu was poisoned? It was all because of this thing! But with this thing, he won't be poisoned! Tell me, is this thing useful? "
When the two heard this, they instantly lost their composure.
After exchanging a glance, Hou Junji asked, "Then dare I ask Crown Prince, what … is this thing?!"
"A mask!"
