Murong Xi never thought that his second dowry was a human skin lantern that was still dripping with blood.

I looked at the lantern in front of me. I probably guessed the answer, but I still asked, "What is this?" ”

"Shen Guogong."

Jiang Huaiyin's tone was light, "The princess doesn't have to care, in fact, this king has already looked at Shen Guogong unpleasantly." It's just to take down Shen Guogong under this reason. ”

Murong Xi knew that he was comforting himself, and his tone softened, "Thank you." ”

The destruction of the General's Mansion is widely implicated behind the scenes.

If there is a queen mother, there must be an emperor, and perhaps the first emperor also knew about things.

can't kill the emperor, let alone the queen mother, killing a Shen Guogong, Murong Xi is also a little comforted in his heart.

She breathed a sigh of relief, got into Jiang Huaiyin's arms and said lightly: "Thank you, Jiang Huaiyin." ”

-

The news of Shen Guogong's death spread quickly in the capital, and some people even concluded that the rumors were true, that the Queen Mother and Shen Guogong colluded.

In order to appease the people's grievances, the emperor issued an edict the next day.

Canonized the young Seventh Prince as the crown prince.

The mother concubine of the Seventh Prince is a famous concubine, without a background behind her, and without too much grace.

Appointing him as a reserve is really diverting the "firepower" aimed at the Queen Mother.

Zhaoyi's mother is also expensive with her son, and she has become a concubine.

After the edict, everyone's attention really shifted to the crown prince.

Although the Seventh Prince is only fourteen years old, he is not the most outstanding among the princes. Victory is no fault, has always done his duty, and no one can find any fault in principle when talking about the Seven Princes.

No one could have imagined that such a seemingly well-behaved little prince would sneak into the study of the Regent's Mansion quietly this night.

"I've seen Uncle Huang."

The little prince stood respectfully in the room and saluted Jiang Huaiyin: "Thank you Uncle Huang for teaching your nephew over the years. ”

Jiang Huaiyin raised his eyes, "This king didn't teach you anything, it's your own intelligence and understanding." ”

When the Seventh Prince was young, he was once assigned by Jiang Huaiyin and knew the meaning of the words "hidden edge".

Since then, he has been cautious in his words and deeds.

Sure enough, after the incident with the eldest prince, when the queen mother and the emperor set up the prince, the first thing they considered was the prince who did not have a strong relative.

Compared with other sharp-edged princes, the Seven Princes quickly walked into the emperor's sight.

A prince who is easy to handle, no matter how you look at it, it is the best choice.

As everyone knows, all this is expected by Jiang Huaiyin.

"I still have to be grateful to Uncle Huang." The prince doesn't dare to be ambiguous, although he is small, his mind can be transparent.

Especially after the mother's inform, the prince immediately set off and came to meet Jiang Huaiyin secretly.

"In order to repay the emperor's uncle's promotion, the virtuous nephew has a gift that I want to give to the emperor's uncle."

The prince took out a fold in his arms and respectfully handed it to Jiang Huaiyindao.

Jiang Huaiyin was surprised for a moment, took the fold and looked at the content on it, his sword eyebrows rose slightly, and the corners of his lips gradually rose.

"Since it is a generous gift from the virtuous nephew to this king, then the king will accept it."

Accepting his kindness also means that you will support him in the future.

A glint flashed in the prince's eyes.

The excerpt is written with various charges against Li Xiang.

It stands to reason that Li Xiang should not have a name in the troubled waters of General Murong.

But with Jiang Huaiyin's temperament, when he went down to Jiangnan, Li Muyao would not write off Murong Xi's matter like this.

It's just that I was distracted by the good news of Murong Xi's pregnancy.

Jiang Huaiyin never wanted to let Li Xiang go.

After the prince left, Jiang Huaiyin played with the fold in his hand and called softly: "Yelan." ”

"The subordinates are here."

Yelan walked into the room and listened to Jiang Huaiyin's instructions, "You bring some people to find the people recorded on it, and go to Dali Temple to report the case overnight." ”

The fold records the various crimes of Li Wenshu, the son of the Li family.

He was naturally fond of color, forcibly plundered, and killed nine women from good families.

Seven of the nine were from the capital, and two were from outside.

It's not that they haven't thought about reporting to the official, but on the other side is the Dang Chao Zaisuke, and they can think of their future consequences with only a little thought.

In order to avoid trouble, Li Xiang also gave them a large amount of money as hush money.

Those who take it will have to take it, and if they don't take it, they will have to take it.

I didn't expect the prince to be able to start from Li Wenshu and bring down Li Xiang.

Jiang Huaiyin's eyes were deep, and it seemed that the little prince had already come out of the blue.

-

The rabbit died and the fox was sad.

Since the death of Mrs. Li and Li Muyao, Li Xiang has tried not to appear in front of people as much as possible.

He knew that this was Jiang Huaiyin's counterattack, and he knew that one day, it would be his turn.

No matter how much he calculated, he never calculated that the last straw that overwhelmed him came from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Li Wenshu's crime has been infinitely magnified, and there are even Guozi eunuchs who arranged Li Wenshu's deeds, adding fuel to this turmoil.

The court was overwhelmed, and the emperor also found Li Xiang, and the two conspired all night in the imperial study, and when Li Xiang walked out the next morning, on the old face, the black gauze hat that had been worn for more than ten years was finally taken off.

Li Xiang, who took the initiative to resign, has no face and continues to stay in the capital.

When he said goodbye to the old man and returned to his hometown, the people spontaneously came to see him off.

Rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves were piled up in Li Xiang's entire carriage.

After Li Xiang left, Jiang Huaiyin once fought for Murong Xi's opinion to want his life.

Murong Xi shook his head, "His wife and children have died tragically, and in the next few days, only being alive will be the greatest punishment for him." ”

Jiang Huaiyin agreed.

He spared Li Xiang's life.

It is difficult for the old people who have returned to their hometowns to make a comeback and stir up the storm in the capital.

Jiang Huaiyin was right, after Li Xiang left, the capital was indeed peaceful.

But the queen mother and the emperor are both sick in bed, although there is a prince in charge of the country, but many matters still have to be decided by Jiang Huaiyin.

For example, there is a vacancy in the court, and the candidate for such an important position must be decided jointly by the emperor and the regent.

There are even more Shen Guogong's charges that are difficult to mention, but several juniors of the Shen family have made outstanding achievements, and the prince still can't come up with an idea whether the hereditary recklessness will be broken or continued.

With all this, Jiang Huaiyin became more and more busy, the emperor's condition became more and more serious, and Murong Xi's belly gradually grew bigger.

By the time of midsummer July, Murong Xi's belly was so big that it didn't look like she had just been pregnant for about three months.

It was also at this time that the Queen Mother, who had been quiet for a long time, finally sent Mama Yu to the palace to invite Murong Xi.

In just a few months, Mama Yu's temples have turned white to a jaw-dropping degree.

She knelt respectfully in front of Murong Xi, "Princess, the Queen Mother's time is running out, I want to take one last look at the princess before leaving." The queen mother also said that if the prince is worried about the safety of the princess, he can bring an escort into the palace, and the number of people is determined by the princess. ”
