Chapter 368: A dilemma

The east gate of the Yanwang Mansion has always been unstable, and the threshold is only for the masters of the mansion and the guests with status to enter and exit

Today, as usual, the door opening on the east side was opened, and several neatly dressed and charming faces were waiting at the door to greet them

Suddenly, a small servant sensitively heard a familiar voice, and looked far away, and saw a pure black horse galloping like a whirlwind on the road in front of the door

"It's the little prince who is back, disperse quickly," the little guy hurriedly shouted and opened the door completely

These little guys are very familiar with Yan Xiuyu's horseback riding style, Yan Xiuyu is riding a horse today, and he will not stop the horse, and he should go directly into the yard

Yan Xiuyu hit the horse, and when he arrived, he didn't see it, and the speed of the horse did not decrease by a minute, and he lowered his body on the horse's back, and the purple gold crown with the hair tied on his head was just a fist away from the door frame, and he rushed into the courtyard and disappeared in an instant

"What's wrong with the little prince today," the other little servant asked puzzled

"I heard that the princess was going to enter the palace, and she had already asked someone to hand over the sign, and it was probably the person who handed the sign to report to the little prince, so the little prince came back in such a hurry."

"So that's the case," the other person suddenly realized, and didn't ask why Yan Qingge wanted to enter the palace, and the best thing for people at the moment was to get to the bottom of everything, lest he not know how to die in the future

Yan Xiuyu rode a horse and rushed to the door of his house, flew down, looked into the house, and saw Yan Qingge holding Yan Wan'er in his arms, it seemed that Yan Wan'er had only eaten once, and was dozing off

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, threw the horsewhip to the maid next to him, and entered the house

Yan Qingge heard the footsteps and didn't look up, so he knew that it was Yan Xiuyu

"What's the matter, I suddenly thought about entering the palace," Yan Xiuyu walked up to Yan Qingge and asked

"I'm going to meet Yan Shuyu, she instructed someone to hollow out the Yan family's family," Yan Qingge said with a frown

Yan Xiuyu was stunned for a moment and said to Yan Qingge: "What did she do?"

He and Yan Shuyu were not familiar with each other, and the only few meetings left a bad impression on the other party, Yan Shuyu did this kind of thing unexpectedly, and it was reasonable to think about it carefully

"She asked the eunuchs in the palace to go to Yan's house more than a dozen times, and took away all the movable silver money of the Yan family, and even the circulating silver used for the purchase of goods in the shop was not left, and now the accounts have not been clarified, but the money taken back and forth several times will not be less than 50,000 taels."

Fifty thousand taels of silver in the Yanwang Mansion is not a lot of money, but it is basically equivalent to all the property of the Yan family in the Yan family

Seven things to open the door in life: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, no one can live without money, the Yan family is now only an empty shell that blows when the wind blows, no wonder Yan Qingge is angry

Yan Xiuyu didn't want Yan Qingge to enter the palace and coaxed her: "Don't worry, I'll ask the account office in the house to send a sum of money to the Yan family, and then call a few more right-hand people to watch over there, in case your sister-in-law calls someone to find something to do and beat her out, don't enter this palace."

Yan Qingge sighed: "I'm not talking about money with her, but it's really important, she has been staying in the palace to serve the emperor, where can you use so much money, do you remember the concubine in the Xinguo Mansion, he listened to Yan Shuyu's words, and sold the property to supply the second prince, you look at the current appearance of the Xinguo Mansion, all of them are tired by him."

Yan Xiuyu had already thought of this possibility, but he still stopped Yan Qingge from entering the palace, and said in a good voice: "Ask my sister-in-law to go and tell the queen mother to shake her, why do you have to come forward in person."

Yan Qingge just shook his head: "No."

"Wan'er is weak, she always makes trouble, if you enter the palace, it will take at least a day and she can't come back, what if she can't stop crying," Yan Xiuyu was kind and seductive

Usually, Yan Xiuyu couldn't care so much about Yan Wan'er, Yan Qingge's head was slightly tilted, and he stared at Yan Xiuyu: "What are you hiding from me?"

"What can I hide from you haha~"

Yan Qingge didn't speak, but his eyes were telling Yan Xiuyu, if Yan Xiuyu didn't say it, it wouldn't be as simple as it was now

The more Yan Qingge didn't speak, the more Yan Xiuyu was afraid that what he deliberately wanted to hide would be exposed, and said helplessly: "Concubine Shui sent people to the mansion several times, but my sister-in-law and I blocked it, if you enter the palace this time, she will definitely ask someone to invite you to sit with her, and she will no longer be able to avoid it."

Yan Qingge was stunned: "Concubine Shui asked someone to ask me to do something"

"Shui Yingsheng's son was given the name Yuan Sheng by the crown prince, and he was raised by the queen's side, and the people of the water concubine said that every day the prince would go to Fengzao Palace to visit Yuan Sheng, and he seemed to like him very much."

"Concubine Shui said nothing else"

A little milk baby is favored by the prince, saying that it is a blessing or a curse if it is not good, Yan Qingge still needs to get more news to analyze the situation

Yan Xiuyu continued: "But the most favored child in the palace now by the prince is not Yuan Sheng, but Yuan Jin, before Yuan Jin returned to the palace, the prince asked someone to renovate Chuxiu Palace, and built a house next to his residence, saying that it was for Yuan Jin to live, and personally said in front of the minister that he would take Yuan Jin to eat and live together, and personally teach him his homework, Prince Zhao's mansion has also been rewarded many times recently, as soon as the news spread, some people in the court proposed to let the prince establish the imperial grandson early, and the candidate for the imperial grandson proposed by these people is Yuan Jin."

"Oh" Yan Qingge suddenly couldn't wonder Concubine Shui was in a hurry, Yuan Jin hadn't returned to the palace yet, but the prince asked someone to repair the house, and if he put a few more words, it was already menacing, threatening the interests of the Shui family, and when Yuan Jin returned to the palace, he stood firm in the palace, with the support of the prince, how could there be a foothold for the Shui family

Even though Yan Xiuyu had already said so much, Yan Qingge still had an intuition that Yan Xiuyu was still hiding something from her

Yan Qingge stared at Yan Xiuyu couldn't stand it, raised his hands and surrendered: "Okay, okay, the people who proposed to let the prince make Yuan Jin the emperor's grandson were instructed by the four princes and Shui Mu, and the Ling family is now uniting with Shui Jiadou, and another group of ministers oppose Yuan Jin's grandson on the grounds that Yuan Jin is physically handicapped and he is still young and has an unstable temperament, and someone knew that Yuan Jin lived in our mansion and kept looking for someone to inquire about Yuan Jin's news, but fortunately, the door in the mansion was relatively tight, so no important news was leaked."

It's really complicated enough

What made Yan Qingge feel most strange was that the four princes and Shui Mu actually supported Liyuan Jin as the eldest grandson of the emperor, but they left Shui Ying's two sons behind, and they didn't know what Shui Mu thought

It is about Guozuo, and Yan Qingge naturally guessed how smoky and miasma the battle is in the court

Seeing that Yan Xiuyu couldn't dig up any new information here, Yan Qingge sighed faintly and asked him, "How long have you been hiding from me?"

It was absolutely impossible for this incident to happen overnight, but she didn't know anything at all, Yan Xiuyu's efforts to conceal the news were really getting more and more powerful

Yan Xiuyu saw that Yan Qingge was depressed, and hurriedly coaxed her: "I didn't mean it, these days like this, you are about to give birth, and then you are confined, you can't bother, this matter involves Ling Xiao and Shui Ying, I know that you can't ignore it, so I didn't say it first, in fact, I've been running around recently, just for them."

Yan Qingge thought about it, sure enough, Yan Xiuyu has been away for a long time recently, but now that she has Yan Wan'er, she doesn't have a lot of free time like before, but she doesn't care much about when he goes out and when he comes back

She nodded and asked, "Then you mean not to let me enter the palace?"

"Yes, now you should not come forward, you enter the palace, whether you are standing on Shui Ying's side or Yuan Jin's side, no matter what you say, even if you don't express your position, it will be misinterpreted and attached, and it is not good for either side."

Yan Qingge thought about it, and sure enough, this was the truth

If she wants Yuan Jin to be the eldest grandson of the emperor, and once it happens, Shui Mu and the four princes, as the ministers who support it, will naturally be the direct beneficiaries, but the days of Shui Ying and Concubine Shui will become sad, and at the same time, the momentum of the Ling family, who is against the Shui family, will also be suppressed, and it will be unrealistic for Ling Xiao to reconcile with Shui Mu again

And if the crown prince does not establish the emperor and grandson, then Shui Mu and the four princes will not suffer any direct losses, but Yuan Jin is afraid that after this incident, it will be difficult to have a chance to inherit the throne in the future, and it seems that this is the choice with the least loss, but after thinking about it, this choice is even more terrible than the previous one

Because standing behind Yuan Jin is Prince Zhao's Mansion, Prince Zhao's Mansion is not a fuel-efficient lamp, sooner or later, the matter of the crown prince's appointment as a concubine will inevitably be put on the agenda......

Yan Qingge asked Yan Xiuyu with a spirit on his back: "It's strange that the crown prince and concubine haven't been established, so some people say that the matter of the crown prince and grandson is established."

"Of course, someone said that the prince would have set up a concubine early."

"Whose people are those people?"

"It doesn't matter to the people, there should be instructions from Prince Zhao's Mansion, if you want to stir up the situation even more chaotic, no matter whether Yuan Jin can be Lizhao or not, Prince Zhao's Mansion won't be able to suffer," Yan Xiuyu said

The speaker has no intention and the listener has a heart

The thread in Yan Qingge's mind was finally connected

Yuan Jin, as Yuan Qianqian's only child, had epilepsy and injured his tongue in the palace, and was sent to the palace minister's house to raise for several years

At that time, as long as someone instigates Prince Zhao's Mansion a little, they will naturally think that the best way for the prince to make up for his mistakes against Yuan Jin and Prince Zhao's Mansion is either for the prince to make Yuan Qianqian the concubine, or to marry a girl from Prince Zhao's Mansion as a concubine

Yuan Qianqian's reputation back then was there, she was the head of the four wicked people in the capital, it was basically impossible for this kind of woman to be the crown princess, but Prince Zhao's mansion only had Yuan Qianqian's concubine, and the rest were concubines, marrying a concubine as his concubine, and if the prince was willing to agree, his prestige would be ruined

Even if the crown prince finds a way to make up for Prince Zhao's Mansion in other ways, he will still be greatly negatively affected in the process of arguing with Prince Zhao's Mansion

The more Yan Qingge thought about it, the more she felt that her scalp was numb, and she finally knew why Shui Mu and the Four Princes were standing on the side of Prince Zhao's Mansion this time

What they want is not to establish the emperor and grandson at all, but to target the crown prince
