In the emperor's bedroom, the imperial doctor was treating Murong Xuancheng. The queen and many concubines rushed to hear the news, and Murong Fu knelt in front of Murong Xuancheng's bed, shaking his head and saying nothing in the face of the queen's repeated inquiries.

After a while, the Imperial Physician withdrew his hand to check the pulse, and Empress Fang Qingling hurriedly asked, "Imperial Physician Li, how is Your Majesty?" ”

Imperial Physician Li got up and bowed to Fang Qingling and said, "Back to Niangniang, Your Majesty is so angry that you fainted." ”

"Then when will Your Majesty wake up?"

"Don't worry about Niangniang, Your Majesty will wake up in about a stick of incense, and now Your Majesty needs to be quiet, why don't you invite all the Niangniang to return to the palace first?"

Fang Qingling turned around and glanced at the many concubines behind him, and said lightly, "You all go back first, when Your Majesty wakes up, the palace will send someone to inform you." ”

All the concubines obeyed the queen's orders to leave, only one of them was still standing there and did not leave, this person was a jade nobleman who was receiving holy favor, and a tear mole in the corner of her left eye added a bit of charm to her delicate face.

Fang Qingling looked at the Jade Guiren who was standing still, and frowned, "Didn't the Jade Guiren hear the words of this palace?" ”

The jade nobleman looked at Fang Qingling aggrievedly, "The concubine is worried about Your Majesty and wants to wait for Your Majesty to wake up here." ”

Fang Qingling sneered in his heart, "My sister has a heart, but if Your Majesty knows, she will definitely feel distressed, so let's go back first, and when Your Majesty wakes up, this palace will inform you." Gonggong Jiang, send the jade nobles out for the palace. ”

Jiang Hai's face was embarrassed, this chief waiter is really not good, he smiled, and said to the jade nobleman: "Niangniang, please go back, when Your Majesty wakes up, the old slave must be the first to inform Niangniang, at this time Your Majesty needs to recuperate, it is indeed not appropriate for too many people to be here......"

"Humph!" The jade nobleman stomped his foot fiercely, glared at the queen, and turned to leave.

After the jade nobleman left, Fang Qingling looked at his son who was kneeling on the ground, then turned his head to look at Jiang Hai, frowned and asked, "Gonggong Jiang, what is going on?" ”

"Niangniang, the old slave really doesn't dare to say anything about this, you better wait for Your Majesty to wake up!" This matter involves the crime of rebellion, and there are too many people in the dormitory at this time, Jiang Hai does not dare to speak at will.

It was only about half a cup of tea before Murong Xuancheng woke up slowly.

Fang Qingling hurriedly stepped forward to help him sit up, Jiang Hai handed over tea beside him, and after drinking the water, Murong Xuancheng looked at Murong Fu.

Murong Fu knelt on the ground and shouted to him aggrievedly, "Father." ”

Murong Fu coughed a few times, "Rebel!" Ahem, ahem! ”

Fang Qingling stroked Murong Xuancheng's chest to calm him, "Your Majesty, what did Fu'er do to make Your Majesty so angry, the concubine must teach him a good lesson when she goes back, you can't be angry anymore now." ”

"Huh, what did you do? Ask your good son! Murong Xuancheng snorted, his eyes glaring at Murong Fu.

Fang Qingling looked at Murong Fu, and Murong Fu said to her with some grievances: "Queen Mother, the sons really don't have any private weapons, and the sons have absolutely no intention of rebellion!" ”

"What?!" Fang Qingling was a little incredulous, he secretly hid weapons! This is a felony! What's more, he's still a prince!

Fang Qingling was a little flustered in her heart, but she still took a deep breath, turned her head and knelt down facing the emperor, "Your Majesty, the concubine understands Fu'er, Fu'er is definitely not this kind of person, you must believe him!" ”

"Convinced?" Murong Fu sneered, "Murong Fu, I remember that you are the queen's concubine, and I have already let you go in the matter of Qu Zening, I thought you would repent and reform yourself, but I didn't expect you to be so bold and dare to hide weapons privately, intending to rebel!" ”

"Father, please listen to Erchen's explanation, Erchen really doesn't have any private weapons, how dare Erchen rebel!"

"Then you say, why is this weapon in the princess's courtyard?"

"Erchen... I don't know! Someone must have framed his son! ”

"Framed? Then you say, who framed you? ”

A face flashed in Murong Fu's mind, and he immediately shouted, "Murong Qian! Right! It had to be him! He has been against me everywhere on weekdays, and he has coveted the position of the crown prince for a long time, it must be him! ”

"Good! Very good! You are so unrepentant, and you still try to bite your brother, is that what I taught you? ”

"Father?! Why don't you believe Erchen?! "Murong Fu was a little devastated, why didn't his father believe him no matter what he said?!

"Needless to say, Jiang Hai, the purpose! The crown prince Murong Fu secretly hid armaments, intending to rebel, from now on, the crown prince will be abolished, the palace will be grounded, no orders will be given, and no leave of the palace will be allowed! Murong Xuancheng glanced at Fang Qingling again, and continued: "The queen has no way to teach her son, so she is grounded in Yikun Palace, punished for copying the "Diamond Sutra" a hundred times, and handed over the phoenix seal, and temporarily let Ning Guifei take care of the harem!" ”

Fang Qingling's hands trembled, and he immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty! Concubine ......"

"I'm tired, let's stand down!" Murong Xuancheng closed his eyes and stopped looking at their mother and son.

Fang Qingling originally wanted to say something more, but Murong Xuancheng didn't pay attention to her at all, she could only silently pull Murong Fu up and leave with tears in her eyes.

Jiang Hai looked at Murong Xuancheng for a while before he dared to speak, "Your Majesty, do you really want to abolish the crown prince?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he ......"

Murong Xuancheng opened his eyes and glanced at Jiang Hai, his eyes were a little sharp, and Jiang Hai immediately kept silent.

Murong Xuancheng sighed in his heart, after he calmed down, he also thought about it carefully, and felt that Murong Fu should not be able to do such a thing, but Murong Fu has really been inactive as a prince over the years, and the Fang family is also increasingly ambitious, and above the court, he is most afraid of the power of his relatives, and he also wants to use this matter to knock the Fang family.

On the second night of He Zizhong's detention, Lin Yanqing, the secretary of the military department, took a man in a black robe to visit the prison, and after Lin Yanqing sent the jailer away, the black-robed man took off his hat and revealed his face, this person was Murong Zhan!

He Zizhong walked to the cell door with a calm expression, without the slightest panic in front of the emperor that day. He said to Murong Zhan: "Your Highness's orders, the lower officials have done everything, I just hope that Your Highness will not forget what you promised to your lower officials." ”

Murong Zhan smiled, "Lord Lin and Master He have worked hard, I have written down this favor, please rest assured, I have made proper arrangements for your family, and my people will come to pick you up tomorrow out of the city, everything will be done according to the previous plan." ”

"Okay." He Zizhong nodded.

Out of the prison, Lin Yanqing and Murong Zhan got into the carriage, Lin Yanqing looked at the Sixth Highness with an indifferent expression in front of him, and felt a little chill in his heart, he always thought that the Six Princes would really never turn over, but he didn't expect him to be able to endure it better than anyone else. When he found himself and showed evidence that he was hiding from the prince to deduct military salaries, he was simply frightened, and when he sighed at the depth of the six princes' scheming, he was also extremely scared in his heart.

Lin Yanqing sighed secretly in his heart, His Royal Highness the Prince, don't blame the ministers for being ungrateful, if you want to blame them, blame your own suspicion and suspicion, which hurt the hearts of our loyal ministers. People climb to high places, you can't fight the Sixth Highness, how can I not go another way?

After the crown prince was deposed, he moved back to the Eight Princes' Mansion, among the many princes, he ranked eighth, but because he was the queen's concubine, he was named the prince at the age of ten, and his uncle Fang Qingzhou took on the important task of teaching the prince, and the status of the Fang family also rose.

After Murong Fu was deposed, he borrowed wine from the mansion every day to drown his sorrows, and when Fang Qingzhou went to visit him, he was sitting on the ground with a stubbled beard and a decadent face, with empty wine jars around him, and he didn't know how much wine he drank.

Fang Qingzhou smelled the skyrocketing wine and frowned, he walked up to Murong Fu and said to him, "Get up for me!" Look at the way you look now, where is there still a bit of royal spirit! ”

Murong Fu raised his head blankly, looked at Fang Qingzhou, his words were full of despair, "Heh, I'm not the prince anymore, what more royal spirit do I need?" ”

Fang Qingzhou looked at Murong Fu's lack of fighting spirit, and felt a little pain in his heart, he couldn't understand why His Majesty was so decisive this time, and he didn't even investigate, and directly made a conclusion.

"I know you're feeling uncomfortable right now, but the fate of your mother, as well as the future of our family, are in your hands, how can you be decadent? As long as you're alive, you can't give up! ”

Suddenly, Murong Fu got up from the ground, knelt in front of Fang Qingzhou, pulled his corner, and said, "Uncle, it must be Murong Qian!" It must be me who was framed by him, you must help me, you can't let Murong Qian's villain gain power. ”

Fang Qingzhou sighed and stroked Murong Fu's head, "I will definitely investigate this matter for you and give you justice to your mother and son." However, you have to promise me not to be so decadent again, I believe that Your Majesty is just in a hurry, don't forget that you are still the queen's concubine, you still have a chance! ”

Murong Fu's eyes lit up, "Is there really a chance?!" ”

Fang Qingzhou comforted him and said, "I will handle Murong Qian's affairs, what you have to do now is to obey the holy order, stay in the mansion with peace of mind, and don't cause any more incidents!" ”

"Good! As long as I can see Murong Qian's kneeling at my feet, I will listen to my uncle! ”

Murong Fu was unwilling, unwilling to give up like this! He wants revenge! He wants Murong Qian to never recover!

He Zizhong, the head of the armory of the Ministry of War, committed suicide in fear of crime in the prison.

When this news came up, it was already early in the morning of the third day, and Lin Yanqing only smiled faintly when he heard this, I am afraid that only he and His Royal Highness knew that it was not He Zizhong who died at all.

His Royal Highness the Sixth is very smart, he has already arranged everything, he ordered someone to kill a condemned prisoner and then disguise himself as He Zizhong, replace He Zizhong, and then bribe the jailer to report that He Zizhong committed suicide, everything was done seamlessly.

And at this moment, the real He Zizhong had already left the capital with the five thousand taels of silver that Murong Zhan gave him, and his family was already waiting in his hometown, and he would not return to the capital in the future.

"Your Highness, He Zizhong has left the capital." Hua Nan reported the situation to Murong Zhan.

"Okay, arrange some people, pretend to be mountain bandits, you know what I'm going to do."

Hua Nan bowed his head and clenched his fists, "My subordinates understand." ”

Murong Zhan didn't plan to save He Zizhong from the prison, but after all, he didn't want to chill the hearts of Lin Yanqing and the others not long after he brought those people over, so he could only pretend to save him first, and then kill him secretly, without knowing it. His Murong Zhan's silver is not so easy to take.

Now that the crown prince has been deposed, he has one less stumbling block, and next, it is time to deal with Murong Qian.
