67 coincidences
The group walked around and rested, but there were not many refugees on the road, which shows that the imperial court has done a good job in disaster relief.
At the moment of difficulty, Qi Su is so leisurely as a prince, which will inevitably cause some criticism.
Even if you are pretending, you shouldn't go to escape the heat at this time and be greedy for pleasure.
However, everyone didn't think about Prince Yu for long, and when the group arrived in Zhuangzi and began to enjoy the lotus and eat lotus roots, the court situation changed greatly.
Uncle Cui Guo found a piece of evidence out of nowhere, and hurriedly presented it to the saint, aiming directly at the eldest prince.
The eldest prince had just put his heart back in his stomach because of his fundraising, but he didn't expect to be grabbed by the pigtails so quickly.
There was a problem with the source of the money, and it was not the money paid by the rich squires in the capital.
As soon as this remark came out, both inside and outside were shocked, and then the question arose: So where did the 100,000 taels of silver come from?
You must know that those merchants, one is more attentive than the other, how can they easily give out money for nothing.
Moreover, it is the eldest prince who has not been deeply involved in the world who came to lobby, and he can be sent back in a few words.
Of course, there are also people who take into account Qi Meng's identity, and if he becomes emperor in the future, he has to give face, meaning to donate a little silver.
just pieced it together left and right, and got less than 20,000, which is really not enough for the eldest prince who is eager to save himself.
The eldest prince was reckless, and after thinking about it, he could only find a way to make up for the money himself, so as to make a turnaround.
He thought that he was doing it extremely secretively, and he didn't know it, and he repeatedly strictly guarded against the forces of the second prince and his faction, but he didn't think about it, and he was stabbed out in just a few days!
And it was directly stabbed in front of the emperor's eyes.
The emperor was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot and fell straight down.
Seeing this, the queen was afraid that the eldest prince and Concubine Jin would take advantage of the chaos to make trouble, but she knew that the dog would jump over the wall if she was in a hurry, so she gave an order and detained Concubine Jin first.
Just wait for the Holy Lord to wake up and then come to take care of the mother and son who have deceived the king.
The eldest prince was already at a loss, and he was exposed for his mistakes, but now he dares to do anything disobedient, they don't have enough chips, so they can only be obediently guarded by the queen's people.
The emperor's illness is more serious than the last time.
It hadn't been long since he recovered, but his body was still weak, he was angry, and his face was even worse.
Qi Su and Ye Congwei didn't stay in Zhuangzi for a few days, and when they heard the news from the capital, they had to set off to rush back.
The royal brother is seriously ill and should visit the sick.
Ye Congwei was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty of the lotus, she muttered in her heart.
Qi Su's departure was too coincidental, don't you hide out on purpose, right?
As soon as he left the capital, Uncle Cui Guo had the evidence to bring down the eldest prince.
Now that everyone's eyes in the court are on the two princes, they feel that the whereabouts of the throne are either/or, who would have thought that there would be an idle king in the back who was watching the mountains and rivers?
This man is so deep in the city, I'm afraid it's not that simple......
*********
The two people who returned to the palace of Prince Yu in the capital bathed and changed their clothes non-stop, and entered the palace to face the saint.
The second prince guarded the outer room of the dormitory, and inside were the imperial doctor and the queen's mother, not allowing too many people to enter.
Qi Xuan's expression at this time was joyful and worried.
The joy is that the father is angry, it can be seen that the eldest prince is so angry that he is so angry, it is estimated that the arrival of the divine soldiers will not be able to save the defeat!
The worry is about the holy dragon body, if he can't afford it, how can he make a prince?
If there is no imperial edict, I am afraid that there will be another incident.
When the second prince saw Qi Su and the two, he immediately came over to greet him: "Uncle Huang, Aunt Huang, are you here?" β
He raised his eyes, swept across Ye Congwei's face, and moved away as if nothing happened.
It's been a long time since they've been so close to each other.
The last time I took a picture, it was also for the emperor's illness, so I hurriedly said goodbye.
"How is the imperial brother's health?" Qi Su frowned, as if worried.
The second prince shook his head and sighed: "I haven't woken up yet, and the group of useless things in the Tai Hospital are all helpless." β
"Brother Ji is in heaven, it's going to be fine." Qi Su turned his back on his hands and turned to ask about the eldest prince.
When the second prince talked about him, he was very indignant: "He caused such a catastrophe, the origin of the 100,000 taels of silver is unknown, and my uncle has already led someone to track it down." β
Qi Su raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "With Master Cui coming out, he will definitely not return in vainββ"
After saying some polite words outside the hall, Qi Su went in and glanced at the emperor from a distance, greeted the queen again, and quickly withdrew.
The emperor was unconscious, and they didn't need to be guarded in vain.
showed their faces, and the two went out of the palace to rest first.
Originally, she only arrived in the capital today, and rushed into the palace again, but Ye Congwei was so tired that she didn't drink a few cups of tea.
Now that I've done the surface work, I can finally go back to sleep.
Qi Su was different from her leisure, and accompanied her to dinner, and then rushed into the study.
Ye Congwei never took the initiative to approach his study for half a step, was not curious, and did not spy.
On the surface, Qi Su did not arrange for anyone to guard nearby.
I don't know if there are no secrets in this study, or if he is not afraid of Ye Congwei stepping into it at all.

Silan presented a soup to Ye Congwei to drink, "It's tiring during the day, and it's like rushing to the field in the afternoon, and my body can't bear it." β
"Why is it so fragile?" Ye Congwei stretched out his hand to take it and said, "Looking at the scene of the saint, I'm afraid that I will enter the palace more often." β
"This ......," Silan asked in a low voice, "Holy ...... Oh no? β
Ye Congwei tried to recall the time when the emperor died in his previous life, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be yet." β
Si Lan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Isn't there a powerful Taoist who can cross people into immortals!" β
What becomes an immortal, but bluffing nonsense.
Ye Congwei slandered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it clearly.
Anyway, the emperor believes him, no matter how much others don't believe it, it's enough to put it in the stomach, so why bother to say it for a while? Beware of evil coming out of the mouth.
Ye Congwei wanted to know at this time how Qi Su was going to get past his two imperial nephews.
According to the current situation, the eldest prince has no power to fight, and the prince naturally falls on the head of the second prince.
Although the second prince did not show the ability to rule the world, he was justified.
I don't know what Qi Su in his previous life was looking for, and it was difficult for his hair to take the position?
Ye Congwei seemed to be watching a big show, just waiting to see what happened, but the difference was that this time she was also in it.
Si Lan talked about the matter next to him again, and said, "I heard that the fourth aunt has taken a concubine. β
"What?" Ye Congwei didn't react for a while, and then asked, "Who did you listen to?" β
"It's the little sister in the Hou Mansion before, the princess took Si Mei into the palace in the afternoon, and I happened to meet it on the street and told me secretly."
Ye Congfei's husband, Ye Congwei was not impressed.
Although she is small, she is the first of several sisters to go out of the cabinet, and when she enters another family, she is a family member, and it is not good to run to her mother's house again and again.
What's more, Ye Congwei's biological mother died early, and there is nothing in the Chengtai Hou Mansion that requires her to go back often, so there are fewer contacts.
"With the temper of the fourth sister, it must be intolerable, right?" It's only been a long time since I passed the door, and I took a concubine.
Si Lan nodded: "The fourth girl came back crying, she lived in her mother's house and refused to go back, and the old lady came forward to make the decision for her, and the house spread the ......"
Ye Congwei said lightly: "Presumably she is going to be disappointed, how can grandmother come forward in the courtyard affairs of the juniors." β
Even if you want to beat your uncle, you should go to the second lady, how can you move out of the old lady?
Si Lan said with a smile: "The girl guessed well, the old lady didn't bother to care about her, and the second lady was reluctant to let the fourth girl be wronged, but let the second master drink it." β
"It must be said that it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, and the fourth sister should be magnanimous, and she should not go back to her parents' house for this." Ye Congwei looked determined.
On the side, Si Mei couldn't help laughing: "The princess really understands the temperament of the second master!" β
A family has been under the same roof for more than ten years, can you not know?
Ye Congwei did not gloat over Ye Congfei's matter, "Si Lan, you go tomorrow to inquire about what's going on with the fourth aunt's concubine, sister, and you can't watch her being bullied." β
Soon after getting married, he took a concubine, which was not in the eyes of the new daughter-in-law's mother's family.
If Ye Congfei is bullied in her husband's house, others will talk about it, and the girl from Houfu will have no face.
"The princess is soft-hearted." Smee pouted.
She didn't forget how the four girls competed against each other before she left the cabinet, and she caused the girl to fall into the water.
"It's not soft-heartedness, it's a gesture." Ye Congwei hasn't used his identity well.
No matter how idle Qi Su is, he is also a prince, and the prince is the most noble among the princes.
And she is the princess, just by carrying out this identity, she can crush a dry person.
People say that Ye Congwei has a good life and has not been killed, so he deserves to enjoy this honor.
She doesn't know how long she can enjoy it, but she is still alive now, so she might as well do what she can.
*********
The night was getting darker, and Qi Su was still soaking in the study, not going back to bed.
Si Zhu asked twice, if he wanted to urge the prince to rest, but Ye Congwei refused.
"Turn off half of the lights first, and leave two for him to watch the road." Ye Congwei yawned slightly, she was going to sleep first.
It is like the most virtuous and considerate wife, who does not urge or accuse, and gives her husband the greatest freedom.
Ye Congwei guessed that he was away from Beijing for a few days, and he encountered the eldest prince being disposed of, and it happened that the second prince was about to ascend the throne, and Qi Su was probably very busy.
There were a few maids around her, and when they left this small courtyard, they didn't know who was going in and out of the palace, in and out of the study.
Ye Congwei was tired during the day, and now he lay down and got on the bed, and instantly sleepiness came, how could he still have the heart to guess Qi Su's actions.
She slept with such a big heart, but Silan Simei couldn't, and she still paid attention to the movement in the study.
As soon as someone comes out with a lantern, they can detect movement.
What if the prince doesn't go back to the house to rest, runs to the Silver Moon Tower, and calls the beauties of Qiancui Garden to serve?
Just waiting like this, Si Mei was about to doze off, and suddenly heard Chang Fu's voice.
"Are you keeping vigil? The head is little by little. β
Si Mei woke up and said with a smile: "My father-in-law misunderstood, we are still in good spirits!" β
Chang Fu held the lantern and waved his hand: "Okay, go back to sleep, I will serve here." β
Qi Su glanced at the dim inner room and said with a smile: "You are heartfelt, you know to guard, the one inside is asleep." β
Si Lan and Si Mei glanced at each other: "Princess, she ......"
"It doesn't matter." Qi Su waved his hand and entered the robe with a hand.
