"Is there something going on in Yangcheng that the deal didn't work out?" Master Cheng asked anxiously.

"Yes, Lord Cheng, it's even more serious than that, Yangcheng's transaction failed, and Lord Sun was arrested by the prince."

"What, was caught by the prince?"

"Your Excellency is the Third Prince."

Lord Cheng almost fainted when he heard this, and leaned back suddenly, but fortunately, the entourage quickly helped Lord Cheng.

"Master Cheng, you're okay."

He ...... Isn't he already dead? Master Cheng asked with frightened eyes.

"My lord, he is not dead, the slave maid thinks that this must be the prince's plan, just to let Lord Sun take the bait."

"It's over, it's all over." Master Cheng's hands kept trembling and said.

"Master Cheng."

"You go down, I want to be quiet." Lord Cheng said, Sun Zhang has been caught, the transaction has failed, Wei Han has also seen their group in Yangcheng, I thought that this time I won a big victory, who knows the opposite, God made a joke on himself that is not so big, and he will lose half of his life's efforts, Lord Cheng suddenly fainted and fell heavily to the ground.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"

"Master, wake up, master." Mrs. Cheng cried and threw herself on Lord Cheng's body.

"Han'er, you did a good job this time, you have made a great contribution, and you deserve to be the son of your father." The emperor said with relief.

"Father, the thief Sun Zhang oppressed the people and sold salt without permission, and the crime was serious. Please also ask my father to be clear. ”

"Father will definitely govern well, you go back to rest early, and go back to the house tomorrow after the morning court, I have already sent someone to send back the news."

"Thank you father, the minister will go down to rest first, and the father will rest early, and the minister will retire."

"Zhen Zhen, this king is back, and the king of tomorrow will be able to see you." Wei Han stopped and looked up at the full moon in the sky, revealing a sense of joy.

"I don't know what else is going on in this mansion when my father-in-law comes so late?" Mei Niang asked cautiously.

"The princess also asks you and everyone to prepare and welcome the prince back tomorrow."

"The prince's corpse has been brought back?" Mei Niang asked with a frown and red eyes.

"Please also ask the mother to be cautious in her words and deeds, the prince did not return to the west with the crane, where did he come to the corpse." The eunuch reminded.

"What, you mean that the prince is not dead, he is still alive?" Mrs. Cheng, who had just entered, interjected when she heard the sound.

"Yes, princess, the prince is fine, now he has reported the situation to the emperor in the palace, and he will come back tomorrow after the morning court, and the emperor hereby sent me to report it."

"Then why ......"

"This is a long story, let's wait for the prince to come back and explain to the princess one by one, the slave and maid will retire first."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

"Mei Niang, did you hear, the prince is not dead, we are not dreaming." Mrs. Cheng shook Mei Niang's body and said happily.

"Look at my sister's happiness, of course we don't have any dreams, it's really the prince who is coming back, and the prince is fine."

"Isn't Mei Niang happy?"

"Happy, my husband is safe and sound, how can I not be happy, it's just sister, do you think, after the prince comes back, if he can't find Su Zhenzhen, he will definitely look for him, what should we do when the time comes." Mei Niang reminded. Mrs. Cheng's face changed suddenly, if it weren't for Mei Niang's reminder today, he would have forgotten about Su Zhenzhen.

"Tomorrow, the prince will definitely bring her new princess back, and the new princess must be very favored now, and the prince may not be able to remember that there is such a person as Su Zhenzhen." Mrs. Cheng said viciously. Thinking that the prince was going to bring a new princess back, Mrs. Cheng was very angry in her heart, one Su Zhenzhen was enough, and now that Su Zhenzhen is gone, another one is coming, so don't blame her for being polite.

"However, if the prince asks, we should also unify the confession, in case we leak out, wouldn't it be ......," Mei Niang said.

"What Mei Niang said is that if the prince asks, he will say that Su Zhenzhen stole people and messed with others, and we found out how about driving her out of the house." Mrs. Cheng smiled wickedly.

"Sister, this method is very good, then if the prince asks, we will have to answer like this." Mei Niang pretended to be obedient and said.

"A word is a decision, go, go down and spread the word, warn everyone, if Su Zhenzhen's disappearance is too much, this concubine will not bypass him." Mrs. Cheng said to the maid.

"Yes, Princess."

"It's not too early, sister go back to rest early, I have to greet the prince tomorrow, if the prince sees my sister's tired and tired face, I will definitely feel sorry for my sister." Mei Niang said gently, Mrs. Cheng was happy when she heard it, you are interested, Mrs. Cheng thought.

Day 2

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The ministers knelt on the ground and asked for peace.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat." The emperor was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the throne.

"Yesterday, the three princes came back from Yangcheng, and a lot of corrupt officials were found this time, and the most serious one this time was Sun Zhang of Yangcheng." The emperor said and glanced at the ministers below one by one.

Some ministers are embarrassed, and it seems that a lot of people are involved this time.

"Lord Wang, what do you think about this matter?" The emperor asked angrily at Lord Wang.

"Your Majesty, all the ministers have been blinded, they shouldn't get involved in this matter, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." Lord Wang knelt on the ground with a puff and begged for mercy. At the moment when Wei Han stepped into the court, Lord Wang was already sweating, and his heart was empty, how much he wanted to escape from here, but now he really couldn't escape.

"Spread my will, Lord Wang will remove his official position and exile him to the frontier, and drag him down." The emperor said angrily. Other civil and military officials had a lot of discussions on this matter.

"Lord Cheng was also dismissed from his official position, and all the people involved this time were removed from their positions and awaited punishment." The emperor then said again.

"No wonder Lord Cheng took sick leave today and didn't come to the morning court, it turned out that the matter was exposed, and he didn't have the face." The civil and military officials talked one after another.

"The third prince of Wu'er, this time he saved the people of Yangcheng from fire and water, saw through the plan of the thief Sun Zhang, arrested Sun Zhang, and made great contributions, Shang 10,000 taels of silver, 100,000 pieces of cloth, and a mansion." The emperor said proudly.

"Son, thank you for your father's grace."

"Okay, let's stop here for today's morning, let's all disperse." The emperor waved his hand and said.

The fourth prince Wei Cheng had a cold face throughout the whole process, and his face was very bad, but it should be said, after all, the group of people who were punished and dismissed today are all supporters of Wei Cheng, and now that his backer has fallen, the happiest person should be Wei Han, after all, in the competition for the throne, the two are comparable, and the emperor's favor for them is also comparable, so the support of other civil and military officials in the court is the most important.

"Wei Han, you are really too much, you actually want to bring down this king by this means, this king will not be so easy as you wish." Wei Cheng thought secretly, and glanced resentfully in the direction of Wei Han.

"Han'er, Cheng'er, your two brothers come with me."

"Yes, Father." The two replied in unison.

"Mother, something is wrong." The personal maid beside Concubine Jing hurriedly ran back and said to Concubine Jing who was sitting on the bed.

"What's going on again, it's like this, reckless, why is the harem on fire again?" Concubine Jing took a sip of tea lightly, and said with some displeasure after putting down the teacup.

"...... The prince is back. “

"Lord Wang, what's wrong with Wei Cheng."

"No, Niangniang, it's the third prince." The maid stammered.

"What, isn't the third prince dead, where did you hear that?" Concubine Jing's eyes widened and she said.

"Niangniang, be quiet, be careful that the wall has ears and is listened to by people with hearts, just now I went to the imperial dining room to get the ingredients on the way to the emperor's third prince and the fourth prince and others walking towards the imperial study, and the slave maid inquired about the situation with a father-in-law beside the emperor." The maid said in Jing Guifei's ear.

"What are you afraid of, in your own dormitory in this palace, what else is there to be afraid of." Concubine Jing suddenly felt a little weak when she heard the maid's words, but for the sake of face, she had to pretend that she didn't care and was not afraid.

"Niangniang, there is one more thing, slave maid, slave maid also listened to what others said, and I don't know if it's true." The maid said in a hurry, and Concubine Jing's heart suddenly felt a little uneasy, maybe something was going to happen.

"Say it."

"Niangniang, your father, Lord Cheng, was punished today, and he also had a reputation for colluding with his henchmen and usurping power without permission, and now he has been dismissed by the emperor." The maid said with an embarrassed face.

"What." Concubine Jing dilated her pupils, stood up suddenly, couldn't accept it with excitement for a while, and almost fell down again. Fortunately, the maid quickly supported Concubine Jing, whose body suddenly became soft.

"Niangniang, sit down, I don't know if this matter is true or not, Niangniang, don't get excited, it's not good if you hurt your body, you can't mess up, if this matter is true, Niangniang is in a mess, and Master Cheng doesn't know how to do it."

"Yes, yes, I can't panic now, you can quickly send someone to find out what the hell is going on."

"Yes, sissy."

The Imperial Study

"Cheng'er, tell me what you think about this matter." The emperor said a little angrily, he obviously angered Wei Cheng about Sun Zhang and others, Wei Cheng's face was even more ugly, although he knew it in his heart, but he didn't know how to explain it. Do you want to tell the emperor that although they support themselves, they are not involved in this matter, but now it is obvious that Wei Cheng is a little worried. When Wei Han came back last night, he told the emperor about it, and the emperor was so angry, feeling that his son seemed to have betrayed him, and actually colluded together in private to seek the throne.

"Father, the sons and daughters feel that this matter should be strictly investigated, so as not to slander other officials, avoid unjust cases, and at the same time not let go of every official involved." Wei Cheng said confidently that the reason why he said this was because Wei Cheng wanted to tell the emperor that Wei Han was not involved in this matter. The emperor's face softened a little when he heard this.

"Yes, this matter will naturally be severely punished."

"Han'er, what do you think?"

"Father, Han'er thinks what the fourth brother said is good, we must investigate this matter thoroughly, it's time to govern the atmosphere of the court."

"Okay, come here, go down through my will, and dismiss Lord Cheng." The emperor said.

"Yes."

"Okay, your two brothers can go and get busy on their own, I want to review some folds, so I won't chat with you, Han'er, let's go home early today."

"The retainers obeyed. There, the minister and the fourth brother retired first. ”

"The retainers retired."

"The third brother really did a good job, and he handled this matter in just half a month." Although Wei Cheng hated Wei Han so much, he was different from respect and inferiority, and he was still more respectful on the surface.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"The third brother's health is fine, the third brother was sad for a while when he heard the news of the third brother's death a few days ago."

"It's worrying the fourth brother, if you don't do this, how can the fourth brother see this king so soon."

"That's what the third brother said."

"This king went out for half a month, and he hasn't returned to the house yet, so he will go back to the house first, and chat with the fourth brother another day."

Looking at Wei Han's distant figure, Wei Cheng hated him very much. Wei Han made such a show, and many officials were implicated because of it, which was all Wei Cheng's hard work for a lot of time, and it was all ruined.
