Hearing this, Lan Qi looked at her little daughter-in-law, and just finished saying that Yinzhen and Yinxiang did not go to the Eighth Brother's Mansion for the banquet, but they went out of the city to hold a memorial for her grandfather's death, and at this moment Huanchun said that they did go out of the city, it seems that no matter what they did, this excuse is appropriate. But since they went to see the emperor at this time, they should be doing an errand for the emperor, but they were so generous that they were not afraid of being seen, and they couldn't help but wonder what they were doing.

And for this reason, not only Lan Qi was alone, the brothers at the bottom stretched their necks to see what the fourth and thirteenth were doing, and the fourteenth elder brother felt that he was excluded by the two elder brothers again, so that he was so good that he quarreled with his wife without saying a word. On weekdays, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother squeezed him in front of the eighth elder brother, and he didn't raise his eyelids, but he just cared about his compatriots' brother and Yinxiang, so he was so concerned about whether he could get involved in their affairs.

Looking at the current situation in and outside the palace, the release officials deployed by the prince were impeached for embezzlement that day. Regardless of whether it is true or not, the convergence that should be reined in and the precaution that should be guarded against are all regarded as thieves by the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother, but after all, they can't be sure what they are doing, the eldest elder brother, the ninth elder brother and the others used all possibilities, and they didn't find out why.

Until February, the imperial court suddenly arrested the third prince of the former Ming Dynasty, the emperor mentioned this matter when he listened to the government in Qianqingmen, saying that the fourth elder brother secretly traveled for several months before he was captured alive, and explained the reason for the mysterious whereabouts of Yinzhen and Thirteen these days, and asked everyone how to deal with the third prince of Zhu.

The former Ming Dynasty has been in the country for so many years, and the third prince of Zhu is already a seventy-five-year-old old man in his last years, and if he can rebel, he probably doesn't even believe the emperor. But over the years, there have been voices of opposition to the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty everywhere in the country, and it has always been a threat to the imperial court.

After all, this is not the world created by their ancestors, they want to take root and grow in other people's land, they are bound to be both graceful and powerful, while doing pro-people policies such as marriage and tax reduction, on the other hand, they must not relax the suppression of anti-thieves, and now there is a third prince of Zhu, who is their old master, if even the "master" is dead, those little people below will definitely be able to stop for a while.

But things must be reversed, don't say that this third prince of Zhu is true or false, it is fake, bearing such a name, and the emperor will strangle it, and the effect of deterring the people will inevitably be there, but I am afraid that some people will be in a hurry, but instead use this as an excuse to expose the rod, for the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, for the revenge of the prince.

Above the court, the ministers discussed a lot, Xuan Ye already had an idea in his heart, but he was also willing to listen to other voices, so as to reflect and plan the countermeasures after that, he naturally did not want to see countless anti-thieves emerging in the south and north of the Yangtze River, the court was most afraid of internal and external troubles, when he was guarding against the old Maozi on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was guarding against the rebellion of the three feudatories, Xuan Ye still thinks about it, and he will break out in a cold sweat in the middle of the night.

But today, at the court meeting, the left sentence "prince" and the right sentence "prince", or killed or chopped or imprisoned or exiled, but it was called the second elder brother Yinren of the crown prince of the dynasty, and he was really shocked into a cold sweat, although this prince is not the other prince, but look at Yinren's current situation, he is not afraid, who else can be afraid.

The emperor took the life of the third prince of Zhu on the grounds that "although Zhu did not rebel, he did not have the heart of rebellion", and would be executed in public, in order to suppress the rebellion of the people.

For the people of the Qing court, this matter is just more lively, and it solves the mystery of the fourth elder brother recently, naturally what the fourth elder brother does, how can it be just like this, the emperor made such a big noise, and he also wanted to calm everyone's doubts about him, in short, the death of an inexplicable third prince Zhu should have no impact on the emperor and the imperial court. But because of this incident, he scared his upright prince a lot, and the "prince" who was at the court meeting that day became Yinren's curse, and he had a high fever after he went back, and he was sick for several days.

In the days when the prince was sick, the emperor went to see it once, and when he came out, his expression was indifferent, the princess sent the emperor all the way to the Qianqing Palace, Xuan Ye seemed to be a little unbearable, and told the princess: "You also have to take care." ”

The crown princess was so excited that she said with tears in her eyes: "Huang Ama, please spare the prince." ”

Xuan Ye frowned slightly, and even his daughter-in-law was a person who understood, but he didn't know where to start with the word "Rao", he only knew that the country could not be handed over to Yinren, if it had to be a mistake, even if it was his fault, now, maybe it was really time.

After the princess's words, she cried silently as if she had collapsed, and was supported by everyone left and right and sent back to Yuqing Palace. But the prince was just frightened and had a cold fever, and retired in a few days.

But because of this, there was gossip that the prince's jade body was not healthy, thinking that the prince was thirty-five years old, and when he was supposed to be the most young and strong, he was always weak, not to mention that he was not as tall and strong as his brothers, and even the emperor who was nearly sixty years old could not compare, and they all said that the prince could not be determined, and he would walk in front of the emperor.

But the emperor turned a deaf ear to this, and the court was as before, the corruption case that was secretly detected before, after the case of the third prince of Zhu, the investigation of corruption was clearly handed over to the eighth elder brother to do, originally everyone suspected that the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother were investigating these things in private, and treated them as thieves as guards, but now the eighth elder brother came to investigate corruption in the name of righteousness, but it is easier to do. Those eyes staring at the fourth elder brother don't have to bother, so they can keep the eighth elder brother and revolve around them, so that the world can be peaceful.

After the beginning of spring and summer, the emperor once again brought the harem concubines to Chengde for summer vacation, Lan Qi happily went with the car, once a year to visit her daughter in the summer, and Wen Xian saw her parents every other year, they all felt that and their temples added gray hair, before the hard refusal to shake the heart of returning to Beijing, watching her parents get old, last year her grandfather and grandmother both passed away, inevitably reminded her of her relatives, no matter what, if she went to the capital, what can be rushed, I am afraid that she will not be able to see her parents for the last time.

But this time, Huang Ama told her not to worry, saying that there are still big things this year, and after that incident, whether the fate of her and Shun Anyan can change depends on their creation.

Wen Xian was uneasy when she heard this, and secretly mentioned to Eniang that Lan Qi heard about the "big event" son, and it was a big event that wanted to reverse the fate of her and Shun Anyan, and the only thing she could think of was ......

"Do you really want to abolish the prince?"

When Wen Xian asked this sentence, Lan Qi only felt a shock in her heart, and her future was confused, after the abolition of the crown prince, what will be the situation of the court and the royal family? And Xuan Ye has endured it for many years, and what excuse will he use to abolish the prince. Yinzhen him? Lan Qi suddenly thought that his son and Yinxiang had been mysterious for a while, could it be that what they were really doing was to prepare for the emperor to abolish the crown prince?

But Xuan Ye never mentioned it to Lan Qi, and she didn't dare to ask more, so she maintained a silent tacit understanding with each other, quietly waiting for that day to come.

In July, the imperial court produced the "Pacification of the Shuo Desert Strategy", citing the articles of the eighth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, the eighth elder brother was helped by the Tao, and the minister of civil and military affairs offered him advice and advice to write articles that satisfied the emperor, but Yinyu ran in the grassland and tanned himself before writing those words. His writing has always been inferior to that of his brothers, but if he has a solid understanding of every plant and tree there, how can he not produce good articles.

And the starling brother and the fourteenth elder brother have always been close, and the so-called people in the world are divided into groups, and they all feel that the best princes of the royal family are gathered together, which is the blessing of the emperor.

After the autumn, the saint drove back to Luan, but after a Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace, the emperor was going to patrol the outside again, and Lan Qi said that this year it was easy to make the "Pacification Shuo Desert Strategy", how could the emperor not go for a walk, Xuan Ye repeatedly assured her, except for not drinking or riding, go honestly, and come back with all the tails. Lan Qi didn't dare to say anything else, but told him: "The body bones are the most important." She never imagined that Xuan Ye's trip would change suddenly.

The world before the summer and autumn rainstorms is always quiet, but after a sudden thunderstorm, the world is turned upside down, coming and going quickly, and often before you come back to your senses, the whole world has been washed over. Before the emperor went on patrol this time, everything was fine inside and outside the palace, who would have thought that the emperor had already planned for the subsequent storm and thunderstorm in his heart.

It's just that before the patrol, the eighteenth elder brother of Qixiang Palace was sick, this child has been very weak since the New Year this year, and he was unable to go with the car to escape the heat in the summer due to illness, like a pox and not a pox, the doctor has been waiting for more than half a year, and he has never been well.

The concubine was heartbroken for this, Lan Qi was also distressed, before the emperor went on patrol, he came to Qixiang Palace to see their mother and son, Lan Qi accompanied him, looking at Xuan Ye's distress to the child, thinking that when the prince was sick before the New Year, Xuan Ye personally took care of him and never left, and now his eyes are exactly the same as they were back then, but more than 30 years later, the father and son have become such a scene.

Sometimes Lan Qi feels that what the world is, what royal inheritance, is not as important as the joy of family life behind closed doors, what is the purpose of living a life?

But such a thought often flashes in a flash, her man is a monarch, an emperor who is rich in the world.

When he left the opening of the Xiang Palace that day, Xuan Ye said to Lan Qi: "No matter what happens in the future, you must maintain the dignity of the harem with the Queen Mother, and don't make trouble." ”
