Changchun Palace.

Compared to Concubine Shu, who was calm and leisurely brewing tea, the Sixth Prince was a little uneasy, rubbing his hands and walking around.

Concubine Shu made tea and poured herself a cup. She picked up the teacup and smelled the tea, then looked at the Sixth Prince: "How many times have I told you, don't panic when something happens?

, I will never be as good as your third brother."

Hearing this, the Sixth Prince suddenly paused, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

Third brother, third brother, third brother again!

In the eyes of the mother and concubine, the third brother is always the best.

Concubine Shu drank all the tea, and without even looking at the sixth prince, she knew what he was thinking: "Don't be dissatisfied, my concubine is doing this for your own good."

The sixth prince sneered: "Is the mother-in-law doing it for me? I think it's more like it for the third brother!"

"Pa!"

Concubine Shu suddenly put the tea cup on the table and looked at the sixth prince sternly: "What are you talking about? You and your third brother are brothers from the same mother. Now that he is in trouble, how much do you think?

Shouldn’t we care about him a little?"

With that said, he pulled out a secret letter from under the table and threw it to the sixth prince.

The sixth prince frowned, but opened the letter and read it.

Concubine Shu took a deep breath: "The conditions at the imperial mausoleum are too bad. Back then, the Eighth Prince was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum. In order to torture him, the Jiang family and your father even refused to let anyone repair the leaky roof. Xia Tian

It’s hot and cold in winter, and the food we eat is worse than pig food.”

"Your third brother is such a noble man, how can he endure such hardships. In the past ten years, your third brother's health has been deteriorating. Last year, he got seriously ill in the cold winter."

"If your uncle hadn't known in time, you would have lost your brother. Now you are still here arguing with your mother and concubine about what you have and what you don't have. I am really angry to death!"

The sixth prince's expression softened a lot after reading the letter. He put the letter back on the table and asked, "Did the mother-in-law reveal the affairs of the second and fifth brothers because she was anxious to save the third brother on her father's birthday?"

Concubine Shu looked at the sixth prince and sighed: "Xiao Liu, remember, everything my concubine is planning now is not only for you, but also for your third brother. Only if you become the emperor, your third brother can leave the imperial mausoleum.

Come back."

The Sixth Prince frowned: "Even so, why would you want to make trouble on Father's birthday?" For the Emperor, he still had feelings of admiration in his heart.

Obviously, the affairs of the second prince and the fifth prince were exposed one after another, which completely ruined the emperor's sixtieth birthday, and will become the talk of the capital for a long time in the future.

Concubine Shu sneered: "Son, you are filial to your father. Mother and concubine have nothing to say, but you must not forget that your father is the emperor."

"In ordinary people, if a son makes a mistake, he will at most be scolded by his father, but your father can kill you."

As he spoke, he straightened his expression.

"My mother and concubine don't want to be in such a hurry, but you have also seen that your father has paid special attention to the eldest prince in recent times, and even asked him to participate in the matter of approving the child."

"The news that Mo Kuan sent back also said that Xiao Yeyang's two children also helped the eldest prince to speak from time to time, so that the emperor gave the eldest prince more and more errands."

"Mother and concubine have to be careful. If the emperor really makes the eldest prince the prince at the birthday banquet, everything you and I have planned will be over, and it will be almost impossible to come back later."

The sixth prince frowned: "Mother, I feel that my father is not satisfied with my eldest brother..."

Concubine Shu interrupted him: "Even if you are not satisfied, as long as the emperor shows how much he values ​​the eldest prince, it will affect you and me."

"All the officials are working hard. Once the emperor expresses something, those who have taken refuge in you will be able to leave you in a matter of minutes. If you don't have enough advantages, no one will risk the lives of the entire clan to follow you."

The sixth prince was silent: "Father... really know how to deal with the second and fifth brothers?"

Concubine Shu smiled confidently: "Even if the emperor has doubts in his heart, the witnesses and material evidence are there. Even if he gives an explanation to all the officials, he will deal with the second and fifth princes."

The Sixth Prince was still a little worried: "Concubine, are you sure that we won't be implicated?"

Concubine Shu smiled and poured another cup of tea: "Don't worry, the scapegoat has already jumped into the pit."

Thinking of how the eldest prince had insulted the second and fifth princes in the palace, the sixth prince felt a little relieved.

Concubine Shu: "Don't go to this palace during this time. Your father is very jealous."

The Sixth Prince nodded.

......

After the fourth prince led people to find out the evidence, the emperor quickly imposed punishment.

The second prince and the fifth prince were imprisoned!

No one expected such a thing to happen, especially when it happened on the emperor's 60th birthday.

The capital was so festive and lively a few days ago, but now it is so tense and quiet.

The local officials who came to Beijing to celebrate the emperor's birthday dared not stay for long. They handed over their certificates one after another and prepared to return to the government, not wanting to be involved in the fight for the right to inherit the throne.

Yan Wenkai, as the Chief of Staff of the South China Sea Navy, has to rush back to the south after the emperor's birthday.

Knowing that he was leaving, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang came to Yan Mansion to see him off.

After sending Yan Wenkai and his family away, Mrs. Li took Daohua and asked, "Are you going back to Xiliang too?"

Daohua shook her head: "When we leave depends on the emperor's uncle. The three children are still in the palace."

Mrs. Li nodded and lowered her voice: "The princes are fighting fiercely. You must protect yourselves."

Daohua smiled and said: "Mom, don't worry. With my father and Xiao Yeyang here, nothing will happen to Prince Ping's Mansion."

......

Something happened to the second prince and the fifth prince at the same time. Most of the officials were suspicious of the eldest prince, thinking that the incident on his birthday was his fault.

After the emperor's birthday, the eldest prince went to court every day facing strange looks from others, which made him very annoyed.

He took the blame for someone else!

The eldest prince looked coldly at the sixth prince, who looked as usual, and the fear in his heart became stronger.

Originally, everyone thought that with such a big event happening on the emperor's birthday, the court would be quiet for a while. Who knows, but within a few days, someone started to impeach the eldest prince.

Naturally, the eldest prince would not surrender without restraint. Every morning during the court meeting, he would have a fierce quarrel with the other party.

Prince Ping's Mansion.

Daohua watched Xiao Yeyang come back from the busy life outside, and quickly asked the maid to bring him hot water to wash him. After he had washed and sat down, she said: "Mrs. Chang came to the palace yesterday."

Xiao Yeyang paused: "Chang family?"

Daohua nodded: "That's Concubine Shu's natal family." She said and smiled, "Mrs. Chang came to find out when we would return to Xiliang. She said she wanted to ask us to bring something to Counselor Chang."

Xiao Yeyang sneered: "Isn't there three hundred taels of silver in this place?"

Daohua agreed with a look on her face: "I feel a little uneasy. I see that the Chang family seems to want us to leave as soon as possible."

Xiao Yeyang: "It's not the Chang family, it's Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince."

Daohua: "Whether we leave or not, won't it affect them?"

Xiao Yeyang narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Daohua: "In the past few days, there seems to be a lot of noise in the court. Many people are impeaching the eldest prince, but the emperor's uncle has stayed away. It feels like he trusts the eldest prince."

Xiao Yeyang has long understood his wife's sensitivity and asked with a smile: "What do you want to say?"

Daohua: "I don't want to say anything, but I think Uncle Huang's attitude is very intriguing, kind of... There is a feeling of attracting people."
