When Cheng Huan and his party returned to the palace, the night was completely covered.

This mansion is different from the Shangqing Residence where Ouyang Gurong lived before, revealing the grace and luxury of the Wang family from the inside out.

"Welcome the crown prince, the crown princess, and the eldest emperor's grandson back to their homes." Ouyang Gurong pulled Cheng Huan and Tianjun into the door of the mansion, and the old housekeeper led a group of servants to make a big salute.

Ouyang Gurong's sharp black eyes looked coldly at the servant kneeling on the ground, and there was a faint brilliance floating in the bottomless black eyes that Cheng Huan couldn't see through.

It was also at this time that Cheng Huan suddenly woke up to how he got the title of the crown princess.

In the conversation in the Yanying Palace, Prince Rong, who had previously faded out of the sight of the government and the opposition, suddenly turned over and became the crown prince above ten thousand people under one person.

After a while, Ouyang Gurong flicked his cultivation and used the momentum of being a prince to order everyone to get up.

"The fifth prince Yun Gurong accepted the order." Just when everyone was dismissed by Ouyang Gurong, a sharp voice suddenly resounded outside the Zhu Gate.

Unexpectedly, the holy decree came so quickly, Cheng Huan and Ouyang Gurong immediately turned around and bent their knees on the ground and replied: "Erchen accepts the decree!" ”

"Fengtian carrier, my emperor's edict said: The five princes are lonely and beautiful, the day is heroic, and the talent is beautiful, and I hereby abide by the mercy of heaven and earth, carry the ceremony, and bow down to public opinion, and I would like to tell heaven and earth, the temple, and the community. On March 12, the 33rd year of Xianglin, Yun Gurong was awarded the treasure of the book, established as the crown prince, and was in the East Palace, with the unity of 10,000 years and the heart of the four seas! ”

"The son of the minister receives the decree, thank you to the father and the emperor Longen!" Ouyang Gurong followed the red tape and took the holy decree.

Cheng Huan knelt aside, listening to a dreamlike decree promulgated, and a thought suddenly crossed his heart like a meteor.

No wonder when Fang was in Yanying Palace, Cheng Huan still felt in a trance that the person he saw in the dragon robe was Ouyang Gurong.

Presumably at that time, Cheng Huan saw what was happening in the future through the current qiē.

"Congratulations to the crown prince, the saint has told you that the prince must go to the palace tomorrow morning." Handing the holy decree in his hand to Ouyang Gurong, Zhang Dexuan continued to say in a flattering tone of a daily servant.

Ouyang Gurong's face still had that breezy appearance, which made people unable to see through what he was thinking.

Hearing Zhang Dexuan's earnest advice, Ouyang Gurong only nodded slightly in response.

"In this way, the old slave will not disturb the prince's rest, and the emperor is still waiting for the old slave to return to his life." Seeing that the errand was over, Zhang Dexuan didn't want to stay longer, so he immediately folded his sleeves and planned to leave.

"Father-in-law Zhang, walk slowly." Seeing this, Ouyang Gurong didn't do much to keep it, but just said a word of greeting and sending him off.

The moonlight is like a flooded palace, and the whole capital is extraordinarily quiet in the middle of the night.

At this time, in such tranquility, there is always a compelling hidden momentum, which makes people not feel the quiet power that fills their hearts.

In the study room of King Rong's mansion, the faint candlelight is still floating, illuminating the whole room as bright as day.

And it is in such a deep night, the study of King Rong's Mansion is like a street market, and the endless stream of people comes one after another.

The name that these people admire is naturally Ouyang Gurong, who just received the holy decree and was once enshrined as the prince of the East Palace.

Cheng Huan sat behind the tall and heavy screen, listening to the successive ministers coming to report on the situation in all aspects, it can really be said that he did not leak.

As the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, Cheng Huan didn't expect Ouyang Gurong to have such a great appeal, the old minister who was loyal to him ten years ago still has no second heart.

Stayed in the study until the end, and the few who had been secretly exploring Ouyang Gurong for the longest time, that is, the few who Ouyang Gurong had been assisting him for Prince Rong during his reign.

Now that the edict is coming down, Cheng Huan can faintly hear the voices of several important ministers almost crying with joy behind the screen.

Cheng Huan didn't understand what kind of attractive position he could make his courtiers envious of him.

Since ancient times, the imperial industry has always been full of unknown hardships and exhaustion, and many things lost for the position above 10,000 people can probably only be realized by the person in a high position.

Several important ministers reported all aspects of the distribution of power in the court without omission, and half of the dark night had passed.

"Yun Xuan was deposed, what happened?" It wasn't until he had dismissed all the irrelevant personnel that Ouyang Gurong asked Sima Ye, the left minister he had always relied on.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and it is naturally impossible for a country to accommodate two princes.

Now that Ouyang Gurong has been appointed as the prince of the East Palace, it proves that Yun Xuan, who was made the prince five years ago, has now been abolished.

Hearing Ouyang Gurong ask like this, Sima Ye seemed to think for a while before he slowly spit out four words, "Seek to usurp the throne." ”

"When?" Ouyang Gurong was not much surprised, and continued to ask in a faint tone.

Yun Xuan's ambition is great, but if he really wants to talk about the four words of seeking a dynasty and usurping the throne, he must be unqualified.

Yun Xuan has been made the crown prince of the East Palace, and he is only one step away from the throne, how can he be impatient to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne.

What's more, Yun Xuan's plan for him behind his back was the scheming father-in-law, how could they act recklessly at this time.

The mystery of this must only be known by the person who seems to be an old dragon clock.

"The decree made at noon today, things came suddenly, and after hearing the prince's will to be deposed, the right minister should go to the palace to face the saint." Sima Ye replied.

"Where is Yun Xuan imprisoned now? Where is the emperor's eldest grandson, Gu Nan? Hearing Sima Ye's response, Ouyang Gurong continued to ask.

Now that Yun Xuan has been abolished and his father-in-law was killed during the day, this person can be said to pose no threat for the time being.

It's just that Cheng Huan has been thinking about Gu Nan in his heart, but Ouyang Gurong also knows it.

Now, even if you can get a little bit of news, it's good.

"The third prince has been exiled to Cangzhou, as for the eldest grandson of the emperor...... He died the night before. Sima Ye hesitated and replied.

The emperor's eldest grandson rarely appeared in the field of vision of the courtiers, but there was turmoil in the palace on the eve before, and the three imperial doctors who presided over the imperial medical bureau were rushed into the palace overnight.

However, in the second half of the night, there was an edict that the emperor's eldest grandson had died.

Hearing this, Cheng Huan, who was sitting quietly behind the screen, was already in a cold sweat, and his clothes were soaked.

Obviously, when he was confronting his father-in-law, he also heard Gu Nan's shouting, how could he have died the night before.

"I see, you can step back first." Ouyang Gurong gave a few words in a deep voice and dismissed Sima Ye.

Now that he is effortlessly sitting in the crown prince's seat, it can be said that it is beyond everyone's expectations, including himself.

However, as the so-called imperial order cannot be violated, even if he has already abandoned all kinds of nostalgia for the capital, but when the crown prince descended out of thin air, Ouyang Gurong was powerless to disobey.

In the Tai Chi-like conversation in Yanying Palace, Emperor Ming Xuan asked Cheng Huan's life experience in public.

It seemed to be just ordinary gossip, but Ouyang Gurong knew very well in his heart that it was the trap hidden behind Emperor Ming Xuan's Wen Ci smile.

In the past, Ouyang Gurong was alone, even if the queen of the main palace has always been called the queen mother by Ouyang Gurong, but in the end, it was only the name of an adoptive mother.

At that time, it was indeed an extremely tricky thing to restrain the cold and arrogant Ouyang Gurong.

Now with Cheng Huan here, Yiqiē has become different.

As the eldest daughter of the Feng clan, Cheng Huan inherits the glory and authority of the Feng clan, in fact, it is easy to play a role in affecting the whole body.

In the current situation, if Ouyang Gurong has any abnormal actions, then the first to be charged must be Cheng Huan and the family behind her.

However, what worries Ouyang Gurong the most now is the news of Gu Nan's death.

Cheng Huan listened to this fact with his own ears behind the screen, presumably this news was a heavy blow to Cheng Huan compared to those nonsense involving the power of the family.

calmly crossed the screen, but Ouyang Gurong's dark eyes had a look of pity.

However, Cheng Huan, who was sitting quietly behind the chair, had already regained his previous calm and calm at this time, and between his eyebrows and eyes was only the appearance of Shi Shiran.

It seems that Gu Nan's death did not bring her any huge blow.

However, Ouyang Gurong knew that the more quiet Cheng Huan was, the more it meant that there was unspeakable pain in the center.
