On the twenty-eighth day of November, the prince died.

On this day, many people secretly lamented that he died at an inopportune time.

After all, when he entered the Layue Gate, he should have prepared for the New Year. Now it's good, and I'm directly mourned.

The crown prince is the prince, although his death is not a state funeral, but with the speech of Emperor Qingping, it is still very grand.

Therefore, on this lunar month this year, everyone is very tired.

Ordinary people are okay, they should go to the Boxing ceremony, and they should prepare for the New Year.

However, the courtiers, especially the royal family, were very tired.

This busy arrangement of people to purchase is also - after all, the New Year always has to eat.

But it was supposed to be lively and lively to send a gift to the door in person to reminisce about the old love, but now he only dares to quietly send someone to give a gift.

Not to mention, you have to go to the funeral.

Fortunately, Emperor Qingping also knew that this was the Chinese New Year, and everyone was even more taboo about these.

Therefore, before the twentieth day of the lunar month, the prince's funeral was ended, and everyone was asked to return home to prepare for the New Year.

After all, the twenty-third day of the lunar month is a small year.

Everyone secretly complained about the funeral in this wax moon.

However, for Liu Xinning, it was a sigh of relief.

She is now the hostess of the War King's Mansion and represents the façade of the War King's Mansion. According to the custom, it is natural that you should also give a gift in person for entertainment.

In particular, she is a bride this year, and if she does a little wrong, it will be a joke.

Now because of the prince's sake, there is no need to come to the door in person. So, as long as the gift on the form doesn't go haywire.

With the help of Mama Li's true inheritance, these matters were finally completed as scheduled.

Liu Xinning breathed a sigh of relief and planned to take a good rest.

But Liu Xinning, who should have been brisk, suddenly couldn't even stay at home for long - even, occasionally, she didn't return home at night.

Originally, when Liu Xinning was on duty in Xiao Muze, she either went to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, or went to the eldest princess's mansion to accompany the eldest princess.

And when Xiao Muze is on duty, she will wait at home and kiss Mimi with Xiao Muze.

Not to mention that during the break, the two of them stuck together.

However, after the prince's funeral, the queen mother became seriously ill again.

Therefore, not only does the eldest princess of Changle live in the palace day and night to accompany the queen mother, but Liu Xinning also often enters the palace to accompany her.

Occasionally, they will stay in the palace.

For a while, the atmosphere in the palace became more and more tense.

Everyone in the palace is worried about whether the Queen Mother can survive this winter, so they don't have the intention of celebrating the New Year.

In this anxiety, the twenty-second year of Qingping has arrived!

Although the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve has passed, the atmosphere inside and outside the palace has not become warm because of the New Year.

After all, it's the crown prince again, and the queen mother is sick. The emperor was in a bad mood, how could the courtiers dare to be blatantly happy?

After the Chinese New Year, the weather slowly warmed up, and the Queen Mother's condition finally improved.

Everyone was relieved - they had survived another winter.

Just when everyone was relieved, another earth-shattering news broke out in the court on the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month.

The fifth prince was the mastermind of the assassination of the crown prince.

In fact, everyone has a vague guess about this matter. However, it just depends on Emperor Qingping's thoughts.

Now, the five princes have confessed to the law, which means that Emperor Qingping has completely given up on the five princes.

Sure enough, the result of the punishment of the five princes came out soon - the ban on the knights!

When everyone heard the result of this punishment, they were divided again.

It is said that the emperor values family affection - his own sons have committed such a big crime, and they still have their lives.

What's even more incomprehensible to the emperor - the crown prince has been killed, and the murderer still has his life left?

The crown princess, in particular, was extremely dissatisfied with this result.

After the crown prince died, the crown princess and others moved from the East Palace to the original Three Princes' Mansion.

Although the treatment is still according to the princess's use, the status is far from the same.

Especially the concubines who have no children in the East Palace, they all find various ways to intercede, return home, and those who are dismissed are dismissed.

Only she, the wife who has the crown prince's heir, can only guard this three princes' mansion with no future.

She was already depressed, but when she heard that Emperor Qingping was still going to keep the life of the initiator of the fifth prince, she naturally entered the palace crying.

As a result, after Emperor Qingping instructed Tai to tell the prince about his original plan, the princess's face turned blue and purple, and she didn't know what to say.

"I thought the prince was a pure victim. Unexpectedly, the main hands and feet were done by him. Xiao Wu is just counting the calculations. And even if Xiao Wu doesn't calculate, he will take on the name of assassinating the prince. In the end, he was still a dead end. So, do you still have the face to let me put Xiao Wu to death? ”

Emperor Qingping said coldly. His hair, which had been gray, was now half-white.

He values family affection, so he cares about each of his children.

However, his sons still made frequent moves because of this throne.

What he thinks of as a victim is not a pure victim.

The perpetrators he thought were only for self-preservation.

Now that things have become like this, the saddest thing is actually that he is a father.

Not to mention that Emperor Qingping's thoughts were like a tide, it was only said that the third princess had already lowered her head deeply when she heard this.

She didn't know what the prince had done. Because of these things in the outer court, the prince never told her.

The prince would only let her take care of the inner courtyard, take care of his concubines who had support behind him, and then arrange for her to do some things occasionally.

Therefore, now the prince is also guilty. What about her children?

"The prince has done a lot of things behind his back. In the end, he had to frame his younger brother with his body and drive him to his death. Sayest, "Shall I give my own son to death, as he wills?" ”

Emperor Qingping's voice slowly added anger.

When the crown princess heard this, her body couldn't help but tremble, and she quickly pleaded.

"Father, the sons really don't know these things. Erchen is just a woman in the house. ”

"Since you are a woman in the house, then take good care of my grandchildren. Don't worry about the rest. It is a great grace that I now retain the crown prince's name. I will have people take care of you. The new prince will also take care of you. ”

Emperor Qingping's cold voice surprised the crown princess.

The new prince? Now, is it time to set up a new prince?

Who will the new prince be?

How will the new prince treat them, the old prince's family?

Will the new prince cut down the grass and eradicate the roots in order to prevent future troubles?

The crown princess was in turmoil.

She hesitated for a long time, wanting to ask Emperor Qingping. However, she looked at Emperor Qingping's indifferent expression, and finally hesitated and didn't speak.

Emperor Qingping had no intention of explaining to the crown princess, and the crown princess didn't have to guess for too long.

Because at the court meeting on the first day of February, Emperor Qingping announced the candidate for the new prince in the court - Xiao Qiyu, the ninth prince.

As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers were in an uproar at first, and then they realized again.

Yes, although the Nine Princes are not good enough, they are not at fault.

Presumably, the Holy Lord intends to cultivate in the position of the King of Success?

Xiao Qiyu ignored the surprised looks of the courtiers and thanked him respectfully.

In this way, a new chapter began in the court.

(End of chapter)
