Family Has a Concubine

"Father, my son has never done such a thing." The prince looked neither humble nor overbearing.

"Your Majesty." The Commander-in-Chief of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division envoy Zhang Zhi said, "It is impossible for someone to build a sacrificial field outside at will and wrong His Highness the Crown Prince."

However, Emperor Zhengxuan couldn't stop coughing, and said in a deep voice, "Ahem... Shangguan Xiu, go and search for me!"

There will also be an order for the return of the emperor at the Son of Heaven Sacrifice. This thing was enshrined in the palace by successive emperors. And the prince...Naturally, it has to be placed in the prince's mansion to be effective.

A middle-aged man with a rough appearance and a beard came out. This is Shangguan Xiu, the commander of the imperial army. He cupped his hands and said, "I respect the emperor's order."

After speaking, Shangguan Xiu turned and left.

Prince Junlang's face was a bit cold, but there was sarcasm in his eyes.

Who made what happened before? King Liang or King Rong? On the surface, it looks more like the deadly enemy of King Liang.

But whoever made it is a fool!

The Tianzi Sacrificial Site in front of me is under construction and has not yet been completed. Naturally, people talk a lot. Although these construction workers have been isolated from the outside world, with so many people, there will always be accidents.

If he is found out, he will be held accountable, so the Emperor's Return Order is still in Master Yuandu's hands. If it is really discovered, it can also be said that he was framed.

Liang Wang looked at the prince's calm face, and ridicule flashed in his eyes.

It is almost noon now, if it is this time normally, the court would have already gone down.

But now, who dares to mention the next court.

"Cough cough...cough..." Emperor Zhengxuan coughed in fits and starts on the dragon chair.

"Your majesty, go back and rest!" said Cai Jie, the eunuch beside him. "After a while, the commander will come back, and he will report."

Emperor Zhengxuan wanted to wave his hand, but he was coughing too hard, so he had to support Cai Jie and leave first.

Cai Jie supported him, followed by a group of young eunuchs and left the main hall, and walked to the East Nuan Pavilion behind, where there was a bright yellow dragon bed. Because Emperor Zhengxuan was weak, he set up a temporary resting place here.

In the main hall ahead, everyone was waiting anxiously.

Yao Yangcheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, and the old Lord Hou of the Rongguo Houfu were walking together carefully, talking in a low voice.

Yao Yangcheng is the father of the crown princess, that is, the prince's father-in-law, and Rong Laohou is the prince's grandfather.

The other ministers also gathered together in twos and threes, muttering something, their expressions were light and dignified.

After waiting for about an hour, I finally saw Shangguan Xiu striding forward, followed by several imperial soldiers.

"Master Shangguan..." When the ministers saw him, they rushed to meet him.

Shangguan Xiu didn't look at them. Seeing that the emperor on the dragon chair was not there, he knew that he must be in the warm pavilion behind. He turned a corner with big strides and walked towards the Nuan Pavilion.

The guards outside the Nuan Pavilion saw him and hurriedly let him go.

"Master Shangguan, you've come!" Cai Jie hurried forward with a whisk in his hand, "The emperor is resting. What did you find?"

Shangguan Xiu raised his head and saw, separated by a clump of bead curtains, was the emperor's dragon bed, faintly visible, but he couldn't see clearly.

"Come in." Emperor Zhengxuan's old voice came from inside.

"Yes." Shangguan Xiu agreed and walked in.

Cai Jie followed closely behind, passed the beaded curtain through the window, and seeing Emperor Zhengxuan struggling to get up, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Your Majesty, be careful."

"Your Majesty, we found it. This is the Emperor's Order to Return!" Shangguan Xiu held up a gold medal while talking.

"What?" Both Emperor Zhengxuan and Cai Jie were shocked, the muscles on Emperor Zhengxuan's face trembled, and his eyes were almost red with anger, "Bring it here!"

Cai Jie quickly took the things and handed them to Emperor Zhengxuan.

I saw that it was a gold medal, with the words "Emperor's Return Order" engraved on it.

"Where did you find it?" Cai Jie said.

"It's the study of His Highness the Crown Prince." Shangguan Xiu said.

Listening to the prince's study, Emperor Zhengxuan's face became even more ugly, and he shouted coldly: "This evil!"

The study is an important place, especially the prince's study. Emperor Zhengxuan was well aware of the rules of the prince's study, and anyone who didn't trust him would search it all over if he entered, and nothing would be left behind.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yao and Old Master Zheng send their greetings to you." The voice of the little eunuch sounded from outside.

Emperor Zhengxuan's old face was full of anger: "I'm fine, I don't need them to greet you, let them wait in the hall!"

The little eunuch agreed, and rushed people outside: "My lords, the emperor is still resting, and he will come out later."

Yao Yangcheng and Old Master Zheng's faces were slightly pale, and their hearts were beating violently. Shangguan Xiu has already gone in, so he must have found something!

Is it really possible to find the emperor's return order? Or something shady?

Yao Shangshu and Zheng Laohou had no choice but to leave.

In the warm pavilion, Emperor Zhengxuan was so angry that he lay on the bed panting: "Shangguanxiu, go down."

"Yes." Shangguan practiced the salute, then turned and left.

"Your Majesty, now..." Cai Jie frowned and said, "Since it was found from the study, then... is the crown prince really building the Son of Heaven Sacrifice?"

The drooping flesh on Emperor Zhengxuan's face twitched: "This rebellious son..."

Emperor Zhengxuan wanted to abolish the crown prince, but ah... as the emperor, he also came from the crown prince. Which prince does not do this quietly. Back then, he also went to build the Son of Heaven Sacrifice with the idea of ​​enthroning as soon as possible.

It's just that, now it's on me, but I feel unspeakably uncomfortable and angry.

"You said, did someone set him up for this matter?" Emperor Zhengxuan said.

"Whether it's framed or not, according to my servant... His Highness is building this Son of Heaven Sacrifice. As for the token, it may have been put in by someone. After all, the sacrificial hall has not yet been completed, and there is no need to enshrine tokens, and it Showing up in the Prince's Mansion so early, one reason is that His Highness is not cautious enough, and the other is that someone let him in. But no matter what, His Highness is undoubtedly building a sacrificial hall." Cai Jie spoke truthfully, neither helping nor stepping on him.

Emperor Zhengxuan twitched cheekily, "Nizi! Nizi!"

"Is that punishing him truthfully?" Cai Jie asked cautiously.

Emperor Zhengxuan coughed a few times, his eyes were sharp. If he was punished for this crime, it would be a great disobedience, and the courtiers would attack him. At that time, it might be so serious that the crown prince would be abolished.

And he still doesn't want to abolish the prince!

Look who is guarding the fortress and throat of Daqiping Fan! The natal family of the crown prince's side concubine, the Feng family!

And who is guarding the border between Beiyan and the Queen's natal family Rongguohou Mansion!

Also, the ministers of the court and the central government have been around the prince for a long time. This son is already full of hope. If he dies, he will be able to ascend the throne immediately without hindrance.

And... these are all he is willing to give him.

This is his chosen prince. It was expected that the prince would build the Son of Heaven Sacrifice, but...after knowing it, he would still be angry and resentful.

He was ready to die at any time and pass the throne to the crown prince.

But as long as he lived for a day, he wanted to hold on to these things and not let go, and wanted to suppress him.

"Your Majesty..." Cai Jie whispered.

Emperor Zhengxuan came back to his senses and gritted his teeth fiercely: "I'm so mad... let's go!"

Talking and struggling to get up.

Seeing this, Cai Jie quickly supported him and walked to the front hall step by step.

When the ministers in the hall saw Emperor Zhengxuan coming out, they quickly stood up and bowed in salute.

After Emperor Zhengxuan sat down, he let them lie flat.

Seeing that it took so long for Emperor Zhengxuan to come out, the crown prince turned pale. Because he had just learned from the needles in the forbidden army that the Emperor's Restoration Order was indeed found.

Why is this thing in his study?

The prince couldn't believe it, but it actually appeared! Who actually did it?

He thought of the people who had been in his study recently. Yesterday was Qian Shangshu, and another person entered a few days ago, that is Ye Tangcai. But after thinking about it for a while, he automatically ignored Ye Tangcai. Because it's impossible.

After Ye Tangcai left that time, Li Gui searched carefully, but found nothing. How could this sign be left behind.

But now, all of this doesn't matter, the important thing is how to face the wrath of the emperor now.

Liang Wang's romantic eyes flickered slightly.

After Emperor Zhengxuan sat down, he picked up a pile of booklets in his hand and threw them at the lower crown prince, "You bastard!"

The ministers below were all shocked, could it be that...

"The emperor's order was not found, but some letters were found. Hehe, it really insulted the reputation of our royal family. Go back and face the wall and think about it, and you will be punished for one year!" The emperor's angry voice sounded.

Hearing this, the minister below was startled.

Here, did not find the emperor to return the order, but found the letter? Something that discredits the royal family? What exactly is that letter?

The prince is virtuous and capable, and never does anything out of line, but there is only one thing that damages his reputation, and that is the affair with Miao Jihe some time ago!

Could it be that the emperor is talking about this?

All the ministers were startled and looked at the prince one after another.

The prince's face turned green and pale, but the emperor randomly added charges to him... Is this to teach him a lesson?

The prince thought of the Emperor Zhengxuan's order to return the emperor, so he could only kowtow: "Thank you father and emperor for your kindness, my son... I will go back and receive the punishment."

Then he turned and left.

Emperor Zhengxuan looked at his leaving figure with cold eyes. The emperor's return to the order must not be punished for this crime, otherwise the court will be in turmoil. But Emperor Zhengxuan was unwilling to punish him, so he had to teach him a big lesson. You can only use what happened a while ago as a raft.

But it can't be too obvious, ambiguous, specious, so that the prince has room to turn around.

"Cough cough..." Emperor Zhengxuan coughed violently again, "Leave the court, King Liang is here."

Then Cai Jie helped him up and left step by step.

King Liang lowered his beautiful eyes slightly, and then left in the direction of Emperor Zhengxuan.

All the way to Emperor Zhengxuan's bedroom, Emperor Zhengxuan lay on the dragon bed, and King Liang sat on the embroidered pier beside the bed. King Liang said: "Father, are you feeling better?"

"Old problem, let's serve medicine!" Emperor Zhengxuan coughed a few times.

Cai Jie brought a bowl of medicine, and Liang Wang took a spoon to feed him.

After the bowl of medicine was finished, Emperor Zhengxuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Sure enough, Zheng'er is the most filial. Cai Jie, bring the picture of "Going to the Bridge" in the study."

Cai Jie agreed, turned and went out, and after a while, brought a roll of painting sleeves. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor knew that you loved these ancient paintings, so he collected them specially. The Emperor has always loved His Highness the most."

King Liang hehe: "Yes!"
