Xu Laishun was originally just Xu Dewang's adopted son, but after raising him, Xu Dewang gradually began to treat Xu Laishun as his own son.

Without him, just because Xu Laishun is becoming more and more filial to this godfather.

Although the "father and son" are in the palace and the other outside the palace, they rarely meet, but Xu Laishun still did his son's duty, and made a very good house close to the palace for his godfather outside the palace, and also made him a young and beautiful widow as a daughter-in-law in the house. This little widow is not only gentle and obedient to serve people, but also has a son, a daughter and two sweet-mouthed little cubs, and when they meet, they call Xu Dewang father. In addition, Xu Laishun also privately intercepted a sum of silver from the account of the restaurant, and bought a field for his godfather in other places, and there was an income of thousands of taels of silver every year for the field rent alone. Therefore, don't look at Xu Dewang who is still a slave in the palace, as long as he leaves the palace, he will also be a rich man with a wife, children, a house and land

Although Xu Dewang felt that his godson was greedy for money privately behind the back of the third prince, and he also used the money to buy a housing property for himself, which was not very in line with the rules, but he was a eunuch, and he also longed for the life of a sound person in his heart. Seeing that his godson has bought himself so completely, even if he is old and frail one day, he is disgusted by the third prince, he can no longer wait in the palace, and he can still live a comfortable life outside the palace, and he has a little more fatherly love for his godson Xu Laishun in his heart. Xu Laishun has been operating the private property of the third prince outside the palace in the past few years, and he has actually made several mistakes, but because Xu Dewang is by the side of the third prince to help cover up and plead, he has not been severely punished once, and he has kept the errand in front of him well.

In contrast, Lianzhu, who used to be the confidant of the three princes, has always walked in the inner house outside the palace, but because of a moment of careless speech, he offended the future third prince Lan and the future third prince's side concubine Xue Si, and asked the latter to sue the third prince. In order to appease the future concubine and the current gold owner, the third prince unceremoniously counted Lianzhu? directly took away people's errands, and now Lianzhu can only be the proprietress of a small shop, but it is not as beautiful as before? I don't know when I will be able to regain my former dignity!

This time? Obviously, Xu Laishun made a mistake and didn't arrange it well? Several good men in the rivers and lakes who had high hopes for the three princes folded into the Yingtianfu Ya, and in order to deal with this matter, he ignored the news from Beiping? Haven't had any new information in days? But with Xu Dewang's help to maneuver, the third prince didn't ask anything, and only ordered him to continue to deal with affairs outside the palace? Urge the Beiping side to report the latest news as soon as possible. Xu Laishun escaped? Have more time to deal with your mistakes afterwards? Cover it up completely.

The third prince doesn't know anything about the deception of the people around him? What he wants to know more now is another thing: "The people who went to Putuo Mountain with the fourth child?" Still regularly send letters back to Beijing? I don't think there will be anything wrong, but the fourth child didn't have an accident in Putuo Mountain, but in the team of the emperor's grandmother traveling north, someone had symptoms of poisoning, what does this mean? Could it be that he was poisoned that day? Not the fourth? Who's on the side?! ”

Xu Dewang also helped analyze: "Could it be that the poisoned is really the Queen Mother?!" The Queen Mother was seriously ill on the way north? In fact, it is just an excuse to claim to the outside world? Actually poisoned?! ”

The third prince narrowed his eyes: "Impossible! If it was really the emperor's grandmother who was poisoned, why didn't she return to Beijing to detoxify, but continued to rush to Beiping?! Could it be that there is anyone else in the capital who will be unfavorable to the imperial grandmother?! If she was really poisoned? That must have been a mistake in the passenger car! But...... On that day, our people obviously only did tricks and feet in the fourth dormitory, and the imperial grandmother never went to him, so what reason could they be poisoned by mistake?! It's impossible for the fourth child to transfer the food rewarded by his father to the imperial grandmother, right?! ”

The third prince also took a lot of effort to find this miraculous chronic poison. Because there were not many of them, he studied them very carefully for a long time before he found the most suitable time and place for poisoning. As far as he knew, the four princes should have taken his poison down, and if the time is calculated, it should be poisoned in the area of Putuo Mountain. But the four princes not only did not have poisonous hair, but they were able to ride fast horses to Beiping, successfully arrived at the queen mother's side, and then preached a wave of filial piety to their grandson. Many courtiers who originally opposed the establishment of the prince of the four princes attacked him a lot less, and some people began to think that the four princes were young and filial, and they were indeed more likable than the crown prince who repeatedly contradicted the emperor, and it was no wonder that the emperor would be more interested in the younger son to succeed to the throne.

This is not a situation that the three princes are happy to see.

The third prince gritted his teeth: "There must be something wrong here...... It's just that I can't see it yet. Could it be that the fourth child did not go to Putuo Mountain, but went to Beiping with the emperor's grandmother early? ! Only in this way is it possible that he was poisoned on the way north, causing the emperor's grandmother to order people to search for antidote herbs, but not to send people back to the capital for treatment! "Because the queen mother suspects that the person who poisoned is in the capital, she doesn't want her youngest son to be in danger again!

Xu Dewang hesitated, remembering that the chamberlain who was responsible for accompanying him to Putuo Mountain to monitor the situation of the four princes was recruited by him, and several people who followed the honor guard of the four princes and went to Putuo Mountain and Beiping were recruited by his godson Xu Laishun, if the four princes did not go to Putuo Mountain at all, then what responsibility would those who have not discovered the truth be? If the three princes are held accountable, will they be angry with their father and son?

Xu Dewang hesitated again and again before saying: "The servant who went to Putuo Mountain with the Fourth Highness should have seen the Fourth Highness with his own eyes, if it wasn't for himself, he would have found out the truth a long time ago and reported it early." But now that he followed him to Beiping, he didn't find anything wrong, it should be ...... It wouldn't have gone so wrong. His Royal Highness went to Putuo Mountain, and there were so many people following him along the way, how could it be fake? Besides, the emperor also sent a henchman to accompany him. ”

The third prince muttered: "What if my father also helped to falsify? Who knows......" But thinking about it, I think it's unlikely, anyway, the fourth prince is now in Beiping, what's the difference between him arriving early and arriving late? Why did the emperor help his youngest son make trouble?!

The third prince shook his head and said angrily: "That's it! In short, the poison we had that day did not enter the mouth of the fourth child, but I don't know who to eat it. When the imperial grandmother returned to Beijing, we tried to inquire about who had an accident in the entourage, and we could roughly guess who was the substitute for the fourth child that day! ”

Xu Dewang said in a low voice: "What if this person is rescued? The Queen Mother specially sent so many people out to buy medicinal herbs, obviously planning to treat them well...... I don't know if this person will be the Queen Mother! ”

The third prince sneered: "If it was really the emperor's grandmother who was poisoned, her old man would have returned to Beijing a long time ago, and it is impossible for her to stay in Beiping to watch the excitement, and it is impossible for my father to sit calmly and calmly so far, but he just urgently summoned the two imperial doctors who treated the emperor's grandmother back to Beijing for questioning." The Imperial Grandmother must be fine! I thought it was because her old man's compassion was attacking, and she couldn't see anyone dying in front of her, so she sent people around to find medicine. But can the doctors still do their best for others?! If you can't save it, that's it. Just ask someone. There are a number of people who go north with the emperor's grandmother, and if they get a letter in their family, there must be some rumors revealed. ”

Xu Dewang responded in a low voice.

At this time, a little eunuch knocked on the door and sent a message to the third prince: "Your Highness, it seems that something has happened in the East Palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be clamoring to kill the crown princess!" ”

The third prince stood up abruptly, his face surprised.
