Xiao Rui blinked, and his tone was much lighter: "Second Sister Xie means ...... by this."

Xie Mulin also winked at him: "It's just a reasonable associative guess - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince definitely doesn't want to be ousted from the crown prince's throne, has he already noticed who the emperor's favored new prince is?" Will he want to eradicate the troubles so that he is the only candidate for the prince? After all...... No matter how the second prince and the third prince were embarrassed by the crown prince, they all have stains on their bodies now, and under normal circumstances, they are no longer qualified to compete for that position. ”

Xiao Ruiluo sighed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may indeed have noticed which prince the emperor prefers as the prince, but he is currently ...... Except for going to wake the queen's mother, she has to stay in the East Palace for the rest of the time. Although the emperor did not explicitly say that he wanted to be grounded, it was not easy for him to move freely in the palace. Except for returning to the prince's place to rest at night, the four princes almost stayed by the emperor's side at other times, and there was no shortage of palace people sent by the emperor to wait closely. The people in the palace are the best at looking at the eyes, who else would be stupid enough to ignore the holy will and do such a life-giving errand for His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

Xie Mulin gave an example: "For example, the manpower left by Empress Cao? ”

Xiao Rui said: "The people of Kunning Palace have not lifted the ban so far, and the other palace people ...... Even if there are henchmen or eyes and ears of Empress Cao, it is not something that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can support at will. Empress Cao's dying wish is very obvious, which is to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince give up his position and keep his wealth and safety. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't understand the queen's hard work, there are some decent palace people in the palace, but they will not easily ignore the queen's order and turn to do things for the prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... In fact, he has always been a person who is not good at entrapping the lowly, and in the past, even the attendants of the East Palace were transferred and disciplined by the queen mother for him. It wasn't until the princess entered the door that the queen mother handed over this heavy responsibility to the princess, but she also left a helper for the princess. ”

The crown princess Xue is obviously not very well managed, otherwise Wang Mei is like a nameless concubine, where would she have the ability to frame her concubine again and again? Queen Cao estimated that this daughter-in-law hated iron but not steel. How much of a role her helpers left in the East Palace can play is unknown to outsiders. But since this helper is left by the queen to stay with the prince, it has some restraining power on the palace people. Empress Cao's will, he or she should also act according to the order, right?

Xie Mulin made a conclusion: "It sounds that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a certain threat to the Four Princes, it depends on whether he himself has enough strength and whether he can successfully exploit the loopholes and let the people sent out come into contact with the Four Princes." From the prince's point of view, it cannot be said that the four princes must be safe and worry-free. ”

Xiao Rui thought about it and admitted that his fiancée was reasonable. The crown prince may indeed be a threat to the four princes. Even if he was conceited and arrogant, he had always felt that he was a rightful and rightful prince, and all his younger brothers were not as qualified as him, let alone the four princes with the lowest background - but who can say for sure? Even if he is not a person who can kill his siblings, it is difficult to guarantee that his beloved Wang Meiru will not have similar thoughts and encourage the prince to commit murder.

Xie Mulin saw that Xiao Rui accepted his idea, and he was overjoyed, and he was busy striking while the iron was hot: "In addition to the crown prince, there are also the second prince and the third prince. The second prince was about to succeed the clan, Lin Zhaoyi assassinated Queen Cao, no matter whether the person behind the assassination was surnamed Xiao or Cao, it was Lin Zhaoyi who did the assassination, and she couldn't escape! Whether the prince she gave birth to will be affected by her depends on what the emperor thinks of the second prince. The second prince is not a calm and intelligent character, and he has not done anything reckless and impulsive to offend people in the past, and he is in the current situation, will he really not have evil thoughts about the little brother who is expected to ascend to the storage position because of the broken can? ”

Xiao Rui pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.

The information from the capital is not just Wanlong alone. Yan Wangfu also has eyeliner in the palace, and he can also get some news from the eldest princess of Yongning. According to what Xiao Rui learned, since the second prince heard the news that Lin Zhaoyi went crazy and stabbed the queen to death, the whole person was almost confused, and it was not until he was kicked out in public with the third prince in the mourning hall that he was a little sober. The first thing he did when he came to his senses was to punch the third prince in the face.

The second prince has never been a person who can introspect, he has always felt that he has not done anything wrong, and it is also the Lin family who has gone too far to succeed him, which angered the emperor and affected him. He said words of reparation, and he still resented the Lin family in his heart. Now his biological mother is destined to die, and he is very likely to be deposed as a concubine. If this is his own mistake, it will be fine, but it is caused by the calculation and framing of his biological mother. Before, he thought that the person who instigated Lin Zhaoyi was Xiao Guifei, so he went to beat Xiao Guifei's son. Although it was immediately pulled away by the palace people, the emperor did not issue an order to reprimand him afterwards.

He probably felt that he was encouraged, so he ran to beat the three princes one after another, and once found trouble with the officials who entered the palace to cry, and picked people who offended him to beat them. Usually he found someone who had something to do with the Cao family, or who reported the Lin family's merits, and once he beat the Zhao family, he was immediately stopped by the guards and chamberlains, and was reprimanded by the emperor afterwards. He guessed the emperor's bottom line in his heart, and no longer went to the ministers to be unlucky, but only stared at the three princes and the children of the clan who were good friends with the three princes. If it weren't for the fact that there were many guards in the East Palace to stop him, he would have broken into the East Palace to beat the prince!

The crown prince and the third prince both described the second prince as like a mad dog now, but everyone knew that the mad dog had no future, and they didn't dare to lose themselves to fight him, and they could only avoid it as far away as possible. I don't know why, the emperor didn't give Lin Zhaoyi a decree to kill Lin Zhaoyi for a long time, but because she fell ill in the cold palace and didn't officially decide where the second prince went, the latter had the opportunity to go crazy in the palace.

Xiao Rui thought to himself, if the second prince went crazy to the fourth prince, it was really hard to say what the result would be. The second prince was born tall and strong, and he has been riding and shooting since he was a child, and he is powerful. The half-grown boy of the fourth prince couldn't stand his fist. This is something to be guarded against!

As for the three princes...... There is no need for Xie Mulin to elaborate, Xiao Rui also knows that he is dangerous. The third prince has always been ambitious and narrow-minded, in order to achieve his goal, no matter how close his relatives and friends are, they also say that sacrifice will be sacrificed, and there will be no nostalgia at all. He has always felt that the four princes are his biggest opponents, and he is anxious to seize the throne of the prince before the four princes grow up. If he felt that he could not achieve this goal, would he take a risk?

If the crown prince is deposed and the second prince becomes a concubine, what will happen to the fourth prince, who was originally the most favored candidate for the new prince, such as infection, injury, physical disability, and loss of face...... Or even "accidental" death! So apart from the three princes, who else can become the master of the crown prince?

Xiao Rui sat up straight and began to worry about the personal safety of the fourth prince, the favored candidate for the prince of the Yan Palace.
