Chapter Seventy-One: The Clash of Princes

Seeing that CRBT had the heart to make up for it, Banxia's brows relaxed, and said, "You better let the people in the hot water room do this kind of rough work, and you and I will go to dry the county lord's clothes." ”

Hearing Banxia say this, a maid in the hot water room hurriedly picked up the basin and covered it with white gauze and went out of the room, and Cailing followed Banxia to the warm pavilion of the Allure City Palace.

After walking for a while, Cai Ling carefully worded and asked, "Sister Banxia, why don't you let me dry clothes alone, and you go back to serve the county lord?" ”

"It's okay, the county lord doesn't like to stay with us lately, and he likes to stay alone in the dormitory every time." Banxia replied as she walked.

CRBT gave a thoughtful "um" and didn't speak again.

The Six Princes' Mansion, the study on the east side.

"It's so deceitful!" An angry male voice rang out from the study, startling the birds outside the window.

Ling Chengxi slapped the table and shouted angrily at the staff in front of him, "Why did Ling Chengxi do this? Is this leader of the forbidden army the one he said he would withdraw? ”

"The master is angry," the staff member sweated a little on his forehead, "This is also the emperor's decree to remove Lord Chen's position, and the wood has been completed..."

Ling Chengxi clenched his fists, the expression on his face was very ugly, and he walked back and forth in the study.

"Father did this, it is clear that he is suspicious of me," Ling Chengxi was very unwilling in his heart, and said with dark eyes, "I don't know what kind of drug Ling Chengxi poured into him." ”

"Master be cautious." The staff hurriedly said and looked around.

"Why should Lord Li be so careful, this is the Six Princes' Mansion, and nothing can be said to be outside." Ling Chengxi waved his hand impatiently.

"That said, but be careful." The staff said cautiously.

Ling Chengxi looked down on the timid appearance of his staff, so he snorted and didn't speak.

He stopped and said, "Now that Chen Wu has been dismissed, I have lost more than half of my power in the palace, and this time Ling Chengsi has taken a ruthless step. ”

The staff nodded and said, "It seems that because of the incident with Princess Nanning last time, the emperor still has some suspicions about his master." ”

Hearing this, Ling Chengxi's anger came up again, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I knew that things would turn out like this, so I might as well treat him last time..."

Before he finished speaking, he still stopped, did not continue, but a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

The staff hung their heads as if they hadn't heard.

Ling Chengxi calmed down, glanced at his staff, and asked, "Then what should I do now?" ”

"Now, the top priority is to compete for the new commander of the forbidden army." The staff thought for a moment and suggested.

"The third prince has removed Lord Chen Wu from his post this time, and the purpose is definitely to meddle in the forbidden army of the palace and arrange for his own people to serve as the commander of the forbidden army."

The staff said in a deep voice, "Once the people of the Three Princes are allowed to serve as the commander of the forbidden army, the situation will be very unfavorable to us. ”

"I know all this," Ling Chengxi's face was full of irritation, and he felt that what this staff member was talking about was nonsense, "but I don't have the right person to compete with Ling Chengsi right now." ”

"We don't have it, but everyone else does." The staff rolled their eyes.

"What do you mean?" Ling Chengxi asked.

"Master, have you forgotten that the Seventh Prince has always been courting us frequently..."The staff reminded.

"Ling Chengyu?" Ling Chengxi sneered and said with some disdain, "What use can he have, his mother was just a Chongyi before, she was born poor, and she didn't have the help of a family behind her." ”

The staff shook his head and said, "Master, you have lost your eyes this time." ”

"Huh?" Ling Chengxi frowned and glanced at his staff very unhappily.

The Shinonome family is in charge, and everyone is valued by their family, even the royal family.

The former Dongyun monarch Huaqing Lu clan has been exterminated, and Ling Botao can become the monarch of Dongyun as the concubine of the Ling family, which is really reluctant, and there are various complex and coincidental factors.

Ling Botao knew that his background was difficult to convince the public, so he paid great attention to marrying with the family, and married the daughter of the Ruan family of Chen Liu County as the queen in a row, the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe as the concubine, and there were women from various large and small families as concubines in the palace.

Because of the prestige of the monarch, the families reluctantly gave their concubines and concubines, but secretly did not obediently hand over all the rights to Ling Botao as Ling Botao expected.

And Ling Botao can become the monarch as a concubine and overthrow the throne of the Huaqing Lu family, so he is naturally not a puppet who is willing to be at the mercy of the family.

At this time, Dongyun seems to be the country and the people, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but it hides turbulent waves, and it will suddenly erupt at any time.

Ling Chengxi's mother, Concubine Wangui, was born in the Qinghe Cui family, one of the three major families in Dongyun, and is also the daughter of the Qinghe Cui family's direct third room, with a noble birth. Ling Chengxi has always been proud of this, and he feels that there is not much gap between him and Ling Chenghe.

Originally, Ling Chenghei was undoubtedly a candidate for the crown prince, but Ling Botao was slow to establish a prince, and his attitude towards Ling Chenghei was not close. And his attitude towards other princes, especially Ling Chengxi, is even more ambiguous, which makes Ling Chengxi have a lot of confidence.

Ling Chengxi has always regarded himself very highly, and he especially doesn't like others to disobey him, and this time the staff said this sentence made him extremely unhappy, and he made a hard note in his heart for this staff member who has been with him for many years.

The staff understood Ling Chengxi's character, and when they saw that his face sank, they secretly said in their hearts, and hurriedly said, "But the Seventh Prince is indeed not from a high background, and it is normal for the master not to value him on weekdays." ”

Ling Chengxi pursed his lips slightly and did not speak.

"The subordinates also found out by chance that the Seventh Prince somehow got on the line with the Jinling Meng family." Said the staff.

"Oh?" Ling Chengxi asked with some surprise at this time, "Is this serious?" ”

The staff nodded affirmatively and said, "Although I don't know what the Meng family has taken a fancy to the Seventh Prince, the eldest prince of the Meng family has indeed been very close to the Seventh Prince recently. ”

A sneer appeared on Ling Chengxi's face, "After all, he is still a prince, my seventh brother looks soft and harmless, and he also has his own plans in his heart." ”

He was shocked by the news said by the staff, but after calming down, he showed a little disapproval, "These families are very shrewd, and it is impossible for them to look down on a prince like Ling Chengyu who is not from a good background." ”

"If you really want to bet on chips, even if you bet on the twelfth brother, it is impossible to bet on him." Ling Chengyu said mockingly.

The twelfth brother in Ling Chengyu's mouth is the twelfth prince Ling Chengyuan, who is only eight years old this year, and his mother Concubine Xian is the sister of the head of the Jiang family, and she is also from a big family.

"Master, although the Seventh Prince is not to be worried, he can be used by us." The staff whispered.

The corners of Ling Chengxi's mouth hooked up a disdainful smile and nodded.
