How can it be so easy to prove that you are innocent?

If Concubine Xiao Guifei didn't do good things herself, she would fall into the trap set by Queen Cao's side, and now the Cao family will only look forward to nailing her, how can she have a chance to get out? The third prince couldn't find any evidence, and if he wanted to prove his biological mother's innocence, he couldn't do it with his mouth.

He himself made the emperor unhappy, and although he eased up after the end of the grounding, he caused a scandal of having a personal affair with Xiao Lin. The emperor will only feel that he is not well-behaved and filial at all, and how can he have a good impression of himself, the imperial father's orders? The emperor didn't plan to make him the new prince, and he thought that he was unconscious and always liked to cause trouble, even if he knew in his heart that Xiao Guifei was most likely just calculated by Empress Cao, he would turn a blind eye and push the boat down the river to ask Xiao Guifei to bear this notoriety. Anyway, it was his concubine, who lived in his harem, and his reputation was a little worse, and he would not starve to death, and he could save him a lot of trouble. Why wouldn't the emperor do it?

The third prince did not have the emperor to support him, and his uncle Xiao Mingde still refused to support him to win the heir, and he still had to support his biological mother, trying to seek the position of the new prince with an innocent background, but I am afraid that it is beyond his ability.

Anyway, there has been no hope of achieving the goal that the third prince wants to achieve, and he always makes the emperor's father unhappy for the sake of his biological mother, and he is always blasted out by the emperor, and he has not even asked for a marriage. Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Cong were still in a hurry, Xiao Lin washed her face with tears all day long, so she had to turn her head and beg Xiao Mingde to come forward. With Xiao Mingde's weight in the emperor's mind, it should be okay to ask for the title of a prince's concubine for his daughter, right? They didn't dare to expect that the emperor would cancel the previous marriage, put aside the justifiable future third princess Lan clan, and let Xiao Lin sit on the throne of the third prince concubine.

Xiao Mingde hesitated for two days, but finally went to see the emperor. What he talked about with the emperor, no one knows. But after he left the palace, he handed over the tiger talisman and official seal of the Jingxi Battalion, and announced to his family that he was about to join the military department as a left attendant, and he would no longer have the military power of the Jingxi Battalion in the future.

With Xiao Mingde's official rank and prestige in the army, after entering the military department, he was not Ren Shangshu, but just a left waiter, which was already a demotion. However, Xiao Mingde himself faced this matter very indifferently. He told his wife and children: The current military department Shangshu has been in office for less than two years, has been conscientious, and has done several major things, without any dereliction of duty, if it is transferred, whether it is a flat transfer or promotion, there is no place to be placed, and the emperor cannot let the meritorious hero be demoted for no reason, just to vacate the position for Xiao Mingde. Therefore, he can only be a left waiter. Although it is a bit embarrassing to transfer from a military general with real power to a civilian official, it doesn't matter. Xiao Mingde thinks that he is not young, and he should take a break, find a quiet position, and think about the life of retirement.

Not only did Xiao Mingde transfer to a civilian position, but even Xiao Cong's transfer documents were delivered to him the next day. Xiao Cong was transferred out of the capital and went to serve in Changhuaiwei. His new position was a few levels higher than what Xiao Mingde sought for Xiao Rui back then, but the nature was similar. Changhuaiwei is stable, rich and idle, but there are not many opportunities for meritorious service. If you are transferred to such a place, if the family does not give you the strength, you may have to spend ten or eight years there. The Xiao family is a powerful family, but the problem is that the emperor has already revealed his meaning, and Xiao Mingde has to tell his son clearly that he should not expect to be transferred back to the capital within three or five years.

This is to punish Xiao Cong for holding military power but for selfishness, he mixed in the matter of the prince's succession. But at the same time, it is also the emperor's preservation of the only son of the Xiao family. Xiao Mingde believes that the emperor must believe that he is still a loyal courtier, so in order to keep his bloodline heirs, he deliberately transferred Xiao Cong far away, the purpose is to prevent him from continuing to make peace with the princes, so as to keep peace in the future. Xiao Mingde warned his son not to have any more dealings with the third prince.

As for Xiao Lin, the emperor relieved her and allowed her to marry the third prince, and after her body was well, she could enter the door directly, without any ceremony. The scandal is in an uproar, and the royal family also wants to be faced, I wish to mix this matter up quietly, and don't attract any more discussion from the outside world! Of course, the palace will not give Xiao Lin any side concubine title for the time being, that is to slap the face of the serious third princess who was married by the emperor. After the marriage of the third prince and the concubine, if the concubine nods, or Xiao Lin is pregnant, the emperor will consider the canonization.

There is only so much benevolence of the emperor, Xiao Lin can choose for herself, whether to marry the third prince in such a low voice, drink water and drink enough, and in the future, please the main room or give birth to a child and then be promoted to a side concubine, or refuse to let go of her body, marry the third prince as a concubine, and still be a discredited lady in the Xiao family?

Xiao Lin didn't give a definite answer, just cried a lot, and was making a fuss at home to hang herself or something. While persuading her daughter, Mrs. Xiao begged her husband to ask the emperor for mercy again. Xiao Mingde didn't agree to anything, just stared at his son packing his luggage and urging him to leave as soon as possible. Xiao Cong looked discouraged, and there was a bit of resentment in his eyes when he looked at his sister.

The Xiao family lost control of the city guards in the western camp of Beijing, and the wishful thinking of the three princes seemed to have failed. But he is still concentrating on overturning the case for his biological mother, and the Xiao family has not been there for several days, even if he knows that Xiao Cong, his cousin and deputy brother-in-law, is about to leave Beijing to take up a post in a distant place, he doesn't seem to say anything. Does this mean that he will alienate the Xiao family? Outsiders don't know.

The intelligence of Bandung for five consecutive days has made the latest changes in the Xiao family clear, and King Yan has received the letter, and he is already discussing with his cronies and generals whether the military power structure of this dynasty will change. At present, the Jingxi camp is under the management of Xiao Mingde's original adjutant general, and the appointment letter of the new leading general has not yet been issued, and I don't know which general can win this honor. If it is a person who does not get along with the generals in the northern army, I am afraid that there will be trouble in the future. King Yan and Xiao Mingde were originally two poles in the army, although they didn't have much contact, they were also at peace with each other, and they had a certain tacit understanding with each other. The new commander of the Jingxi battalion also doesn't know if it's so easy to deal with.

Xiao Mingde entered the military department as Zuo Shilang, and even squeezed out Zuo Shilang, who was originally born in the north and had a good relationship with the generals in the north. Although Beiping Mansion can also supply a lot of money and grain, the generals of the imperial court can't all count on King Yan to raise it, right?

The men were all discussing military and political affairs, and Xie Mulin got a letter from Xiao Rui, and paid more attention to Xue Si's movements.

This girl seems to be a benefactor and friend unilaterally recognized by Xie Yingrong! I don't know why, I decided that the third prince could achieve something, even if he knew that he was in a bad situation now, he still provided money for others, and even did the matter of paying the dowry for other people's concubines, and wanted to win over his own family to support him. Could it be that the third prince poured some kind of ecstasy|soul|soup into people? Why did Miss Xue and Xiao Lin treat him so desperately?!
