That night, there was a knock on the door. Tang Muchen immediately got up, it was Zhu Ling,

He panted and said, "I just got the news that the prince is missing!" ”

Tang Muchen secretly shouted that it was not good, if everything was really as he expected, Xiao Wenxuan should not be able to wait to do it! He paced in the study irritably, so that the palace was probably very passive.

At the same time, the emperor also got the news, and when he heard that the prince was gone, the emperor angrily grabbed the tea cup on the table and threw it on the ground.

"It's just a bunch of waste, the prince is such a big living person, how can he be able to disappear?" Long Yan was furious.

The palace maids and eunuchs fell to their knees one after another, trembling with fright. Everyone knows what it means for the prince to disappear, and if the emperor is angry with them, it is not impossible to fall all of them to the ground!

After the emperor calmed down, he felt that this was inappropriate. No matter how much he likes the crown prince, he can't let the crown prince's position be empty, otherwise it will only cause greater panic in the imperial court.

The country can't be without a king for a day, he is old, and many things are beyond his ability to deal with, if the prince does not return for a long time, he should have other plans.

After thinking about it, he decided to wait for two more days, and if the crown prince continued to be missing, he would reuse the second prince, Xiao Wenxuan.

There has been no news from the crown prince, and the emperor is anxious. The ministers in the court did not speak on the surface, but in fact they discussed in private. If the crown prince does not return for a long time, the emperor must consider re-appointing a new crown prince.

Xiao Wenxuan has not been idle, he ordered his cronies to spread rumors that the prince has disappeared, and I am afraid that there will be more than luck. If there is no suitable candidate for the imperial court, I am afraid that there will be extraneous branches.

These rumors soon spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, and the queen fell ill in a fit of rage. The poor crown princess had no other way but to wash her face with tears every day.

Qin Wenya believed that it was true, and ran to Xiao Wenxuan's mansion to find out the truth. If these are true, wouldn't everything be happy, and Xiao Wenxuan wouldn't have to worry about this matter every night.

Finally, forced by the helplessness of public opinion, the emperor announced in the court that the second prince Xiao Wenxuan would be appointed to handle state affairs on his behalf, and other specific matters would be arranged in the future.

Although the emperor intended to leave a place for the crown prince, Xiao Wenxuan refused, he thanked Long En on the surface, but in fact he was very dissatisfied with His Majesty's arrangement. thought that the crown prince disappeared and he could take over the crown prince smoothly, but he never thought that the emperor still had a hand.

After getting off the court, Xiao Wenxuan walked out angrily, and some smart politicians immediately saw the wind and ruddered, and ran to him to ask for warmth. Xiao Wenxuan sneered, how he used to win them over, they were all close to the prince, but now when they see that the wind is not right, they immediately fall to themselves, which really makes them look down on. When he really ascends the throne in the future, he will expel them from the court one by one!

Coming out of the palace, Xiao Wenxuan returned directly to the mansion, Su Changlin was still waiting for him, and he had a lot of things to deal with in his hands.

Seeing Xiao Wenxuan, Su Changlin immediately got up and told him about the latest developments.

"The current situation is unstable, and many people are waiting, but there are also some dignitaries who have come to me and said that they are willing to support you!" Su Changlin told Xiao Wenxuan about the recent incident.

This is the first step in their succession, and it has been a great success. It's just that the next road may be even more dangerous, and the prince's party will definitely not let Xiao Wenxuan ascend the throne smoothly. And His Majesty has the heart to favor the crown prince, and he will definitely delay it again and again, and I am afraid that it will not be beneficial to anyone at that time.

Xiao Wenxuan nodded, these were all expected by himself. When Su Changlin was asked to find the virus that induced the plague from the strange medicine of the Western Regions, it was for such a day. Didn't they make such a big move just to get rid of the prince and replace him themselves?

"This time you have the greatest credit, this prince will keep it in mind. Don't worry, when I ascend the throne and achieve great things in the future, I will definitely make you prime minister! Xiao Wenxuan patted Su Changlin on the shoulder, this outbreak of the plague created panic throughout the country, and Su Changlin contributed a lot.

When Su Changlin heard Xiao Wenxuan's assurance, he immediately felt a spring breeze. He knew he wasn't with the wrong person! When he becomes the emperor in the future, isn't he the prime minister above ten thousand people under one person? At that time, see who else dares to bully the Su family!

"This thing is really easy to use, it was discovered by the old man when he was doing business in the Western Regions, it is said that once a normal person is infected, there is no medicine and stone, and he will definitely die." Su Changlin raised his head and laughed, fortunately he had been prepared, otherwise how could he be so successful.

"Indeed, I heard that the imperial doctors were helpless. It seems that this plague is really terrible! In the court today, His Majesty heard that Jiangnan was full of corpses, and his face changed......"

When Su Changlin and Xiao Wenxuan were discussing in the mansion, Qin Wenya arrived. She thought that Xiao Wenxuan was alone in the inner room, so she didn't let her subordinates report it.

When I walked outside the door, I was a little sad when I heard them say that the people had suffered heavy casualties and that they had caused panic among the Li people.

She withdrew her hand to push the door, looked up at the sky in the four corners of the courtyard, and her mood became very low.

It suddenly occurred to her that she hadn't laughed in a long time. Since following Xiao Wenxuan to seek a great career, she has followed him every day to handle official affairs, accompanied him to recruit the wives of dignitaries and nobles, and exchanged courtesies with them, she did her best to help him, hoping that he could achieve his wishes.

But why, she felt that he was getting stranger and stranger, and sometimes looking at his busy figure with his head down, she felt as if she had never understood him.

Finally, the two of them finished discussing things, and Xiao Wenxuan sent Su Changlin out. When he was about to return to the house, he saw Qin Wenya standing alone under the peach blossom tree.

Wearing a pink and purple gauze skirt, she stood under the peach blossom tree generously, looking at the colorful Luoying above her head in a daze, looking cold and noble.

"When did you come?" Xiao Wenxuan stepped forward, stretched out his hand to brush the petals on the top of her head, and asked with some distress.

It seems that she has been waiting here for a long time, wronged her.

"Just arrived. Seeing that you are busy, I will appreciate the peach blossoms. When Qin Wenya saw him, her eyes immediately became tender, and the sadness in her eyes flashed away.

Xiao Wenxuan knew that she was afraid that she would think too much, so she deliberately lied. This little woman always only thinks about the other party's feelings, and she chooses to suffer too much pain silently.

"There are too few peach blossoms in my mansion, if you like to see it, we will go to the imperial garden to see it in the future, and I will order someone to plant a peach blossom island for you in the garden for you to enjoy the mountains and rivers." Xiao Wenxuan hugged her into his arms and promised her affectionately.

Hearing the words of the Imperial Garden, Qin Wenya raised her head and glanced at him, and asked him softly why he had to use this method, he could compete fairly with the crown prince.
