Xie Yunshen received Xuan Feng's message, his tightly knit brows suddenly stretched, and his eyes flashed with joy.

He arranged everything and immediately returned to the Guogong Mansion.

Thoughts are like Ning Shu, everything is only left to time.

I hope the old fox will show his feet as soon as possible.

Sure enough, after the negotiation with King Duan collapsed that day, Lian Shangshu returned to Lian's Mansion dejectedly and sat alone in the study all night.

The next morning, he opened the door of his room, and his old face had a hint of firmness.

For a few days, even Shangshu did not go to court, and the emperor had no intention of asking.

However, many officials who followed Lian Shangshu better on weekdays wantonly admonished the emperor and asked the emperor to establish a prince.

The emperor casually threw aside a book with a request for a prince, and chuckled meaningfully: "It's going to be a prince again, what do you think?" ”

Xie Yunyan arched his hand and said: "Weichen doesn't dare to say anything, since it is the advice of several adults, Your Majesty should ask a few adults instead of asking the ministers." I believe that several adults should have candidates for the prince in their hearts. ”

"Hmm." The emperor hummed happily, picked up another book and flipped through it, "What you said makes a lot of sense. ”

Several people have a great relationship with Lian Shangshu, and even the emperor can see that this is Lian Shangshu's instructions.

Lian Shangshu is this a request to establish a reserve?

Who does he want the emperor to appoint as the crown prince?

The answer is clear.

"I just don't understand, why rush to this time?"

The fourth child has been waiting for so many years, why rush?

The emperor naturally attributed Lian Shangshu's abnormal behavior to King Duan.

Xie Yunyan's heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

He secretly sighed that ginger is really old and spicy!

With the emperor's temperament, everyone knows that it will be more counterproductive to ask for the canonization of the crown prince, especially Lian Shangshu's practice of wanting to cover up.

What the emperor saw was only what Lian Shangshu wanted the emperor to see.

What Xie Yunyan saw was the break between Lian Shangshu and King Duan.

"Perhaps, Lian Shangshu feels that it is a blessing to be able to see His Majesty canonize the crown prince in his lifetime."

The emperor raised his eyes and said jokingly: "What? Did you find the evidence? ”

"It should be soon." Xie Yunyan replied.

"Well, good. Then I'll help you again. The emperor suddenly smiled and said, and immediately drafted a holy decree to canonize the three princes as the king of Yan.

This holy decree really added fuel to the fire, and Lian Shangshu handed in his resignation the day after King Yan was crowned king.

The emperor thought that Lian Shangshu wanted to use his official rank to threaten him and force him to become a prince.

Long Yan was furious and immediately agreed to Lian Shangshu's resignation.

Everyone trembled at the emperor's wrath, but no one saw the evil smile on Shangshu's old face.

Immediately afterward, rumors spread in Kyoto.

It is rumored that the official silver hidden at the bottom of Jinshui Lake is actually the handiwork of Lian Shangshu.

And Lian Shangshu was innocently taken off his black gauze hat for the real mastermind behind the scenes.

can force the mastermind behind the abdication of Yipin Shangshu in the current dynasty, and a three-year-old child can also guess that it is Duanwang.

Xie Yunyan and Qi Chengan sat in the puppet in the lobby of the Star Picking Building, listening to the storyteller foaming at the mouth of the storyteller about the beginning and end of the matter, and really felt that there were some traces to follow.

Qi Chengan squeezed his eyebrows and approached Xie Yunyan and said, "Brother Xie, do you think it was really Lian Shangshu who did it?" ”

"What does Brother Qi think?" Xie Yunyan did not answer the rhetorical question.

Qi Chengan nodded solemnly, "I think so." ”

"Brother Qi is what he thinks—"

"If all this is true, then how can the heart of that monk Shangshu let this kind of rumor spread in Kyoto?" Qi Chengan analyzed with interest.

Xie Yunyan said softly: "Perhaps, the Tao is not the same. ”

He listened carefully to what the storyteller had to say, and he seemed to have seen the real mastermind who spread the rumor.

In the box on the third floor, Duan Wang leaned on the back of his chair, the door was wide open, and even the screen used to cut off the line of sight was removed, so that the sound in the main hall on the first floor could better reach his ears.

Mo Lin carefully checked Duanwang's face, he knew that Duanwang was already extremely angry at this time.

Lian Shangshu is good at taking off the shell of the golden cicada.

first admonished the emperor to establish a prince, in order to show that at the last moment of his tenure, he was doing his best for King Duan.

spread rumors again, so that everyone in the world knew that King Duan had lost him.

"Think you'll put the king to death? It's so much fun! ”

Duan Wang's faint words were different from when he was really interested, and there was no smile on his face at all.

Mo Lin couldn't help but shudder, and asked respectfully, "Your Highness, do you want to check it out?" ”

"No, not only don't control it, but also add a fire to this turmoil." Duan Wang stared coldly at the figure of the storyteller in the lobby, and said indifferently: "There will always be people who can't sit still." ”

That person, naturally, is the emperor.

Not only the emperor, but even the concubines in the harem heard the rumors, and they all fell into the well for Concubine Lian.

Concubine Lian couldn't believe that King Duan could do such a thing, and summoned King Duan again and again, but to no avail.

In the end, he had to bite the bullet and ask the emperor for help.

When she stepped into the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, she saw Concubine Xian waiting on the side.

Concubine Lian's jealous expression is wonderful!

"The concubine has seen Your Majesty."

Glaring at Concubine Xian viciously, Concubine Lian stared at the emperor tenderly, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine has been having nightmares frequently recently, and she wants to see her karma, but no matter how the concubine summons him, he will not enter the palace. Your Majesty, is something happening to your karma? ”

"Concubine Ai came by coincidence, I have just summoned the fourth child into the palace, since Concubine Ai wants to see him, just wait here."

The rumors have intensified, and as an emperor, if you don't ask, I'm afraid you will be infamous as an indiscriminate protector.

Half an hour passed, Concubine Lian watched Concubine Xian and Emperor Qin Se play chess on the side, and her black and white eyes were red and bloodshot.

She didn't want to sit still, she always felt that if she didn't do something, she would completely lose the emperor's favor.

Gritting her back molars, Concubine Lian put on a gentle face and stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you have been playing chess for so long, can you take a sip of tea to moisten your throat?"

The emperor pointed to the sunspot, all his thoughts were fixed on the chessboard in front of him, and he pointed at Concubine Xian without raising his eyelids and said, "I have to think about it, Concubine Xian will drink first." ”

Concubine Xian and Concubine Lian were both stunned.

Especially Concubine Lian.

has been in the palace for more than 20 years, and she has never served even the queen.

Now you want her to serve tea to the former slaves?

Concubine Xian looked at the emperor uncomfortably, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has stewed bird's nest soup, the heat should be almost over, the concubine will go back to Xian Yinxuan first, right?" ”

"What's the hurry, someone is watching, you drink tea first, I have to think about this step before I go down-"

He seemed to be immersed in the chess game and couldn't extricate himself, and he didn't feel the tension between the two women beside him.

Concubine Lian has not been favored for a long time, and she didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the emperor, so she could only roll her eyes, and after handing the tea to Concubine Xian angrily, she turned around and returned to her original position.

At this turn, a dark blue figure at the door of the temple came into view.

Concubine Lian's eyes were hot, and she rushed over in a hurry.

"Ye'er—"

For a while, the grievances filled my heart and I cried.

Her voice also attracted the attention of the emperor and Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian's excuse came in handy again, and she immediately left the Heart Cultivation Hall on the grounds of bird's nest soup.

The emperor sat upright on the throne, and under the humiliated and shocked gaze of Concubine Lian, he drank the cup of tea that she had just handed to Concubine Xian.

"Sons and daughters see their fathers and emperors, and they see their mothers." After King Duan saluted, he took out a booklet directly from his arms, and without waiting for the emperor to speak, he immediately said: "Recently, there have been rumors about the sons and daughters, and the father must have heard about them. ”

"Impossible!" Concubine Lian screamed and snatched the booklet from King Duan's hand.
