It didn't matter whether the emperor had found out the truth. What was important was that on that day, there was news in the palace that the prince was smashed on the head by an inkstone thrown by the emperor.

What's more serious than smashing his head and drawing some blood is that the emperor has ordered people to surround the East Palace and not let anyone in or out of the East Palace, including the crown prince and crown princess.

A few days later, the important news came out that the emperor wanted to depose the crown prince. The courtiers became nervous and busy. They were obviously divided into two groups. Everyone insisted on their own opinions and argued fiercely. Of course, there were also some

A group of neutral and silent officials are here.

After the emperor proposed to depose the prince, he did not rush to take action immediately. Instead, he seemed to let the two factions confront each other, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to see who really supported the prince and who had other ideas.

picture.

The team that protects the prince is obviously getting stronger. After all, the prince's status is orthodox, and it is not a good thing to easily abolish the throne.

Of course, those ministers who agreed with the emperor to depose the prince also had their reasons.

Firstly, there are many opportunistic people among them. Secondly, although the emperor only gave two very vague reasons for deposing the prince this time and did not elaborate too much, many people actually already knew why the emperor had to do this.

Want to depose the prince.

Although the emperor had expressed some dissatisfaction with the prince's individual actions in the past, compared to the trigger this time, it was obviously not worth mentioning.

Many people have heard that the prince secretly wants to win over the three kings and four families to support him this time. Now that the emperor is still in power, such behavior is of course extremely treasonous for the emperor.

What's more, I heard that the prince not only acted to win over the three kings and four families, but also did a lot of messy things in private in order to force the three kings and four families to obey him. Not only did the Meng and Luo families lose their

Fazi raised money for the earthquake disaster within the time specified by the emperor, and even sent people to secretly steal the money prepared by Zheng and Wang's family.

Some spies who were responsible for secret surveillance on weekdays discovered that someone was carrying several large boxes into a private courtyard of the prince in the capital. It was later confirmed that those large boxes belonged to the Zheng and Wang families. Unfortunately, they contained banknotes and other things.

Everything was gone, leaving only a few large empty boxes. At the same time, a secret passage leading to the outside was discovered in the villa.

Although the two pieces of silver were not actually found in the end and the prince did not admit it, the emperor was completely convinced. Because in addition to the evidence of these empty boxes, the emperor's spies in various houses also confirmed that the prince

These days, we are indeed using various methods to win over everyone.

The emperor is a very suspicious person. He has always suspected that the prince is not that honest, but he did not expect that now he not only has ideas, but also actual actions. This is clearly an attempt to seize the throne in advance! For the imperial power

, this kind of thing is naturally the most intolerable, what about father and son?

For many courtiers, such behavior is really not what a prince should do. It not only affects the earthquake disaster event of the entire court, but is also obviously an attempt to further alienate the relationship between the three kings and four families and the emperor.

.The intention of provoking the contradiction is too dark.

In this way, in the eyes of many people, the prince obviously wanted to compete with the emperor for the throne in advance, and the charge of treason was not wrong at all.

Even if all this has not been truly confirmed and the prince has denied it, since the emperor dares to directly put the prince under house arrest and announce that he is discussing the matter of deposing the prince, then it means that the emperor must have solid evidence in his hands. Otherwise, it would be impossible.

in this way.

Although the Crown Prince's party did not openly question the charges mentioned by the Emperor, they secretly suspected that someone was framing the Crown Prince behind the scenes. What's more, they felt that if the Crown Prince's affairs were to change easily, it might be a serious problem for the royal family.

It was a disaster, so many people disagreed with deposing the prince.

While the abolition and preservation parties were arguing endlessly, the emperor made new news. He directly sent people to send the prince and others out of the East Palace, and put them under full house arrest. Without the imperial edict, they would not be able to do anything for the rest of their lives.

Take half a step outside the confinement area.

In this way, it naturally showed how firm the emperor's attitude was this time. Regardless of whether the prince was deposed or not, he was in trouble.

"Is this the emperor's ultimate goal?" Han Jiangxue smiled and said to his brother: "So it seems that we have done the emperor a big favor?"

The emperor had no intention of letting the prince succeed to the throne, and was worried that he could not find an excuse to remove the prince. Now it is good that he does not need to bother to find any other reasons. Even if the name of the prince is not removed for a while, in fact, the prince's title is

The truth is gone. Without an imperial edict, he will be under house arrest for a lifetime. If necessary in the future, he can be removed directly at any time.

Han Jing was easier to talk to this time, and he smiled nonchalantly and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm willing to help with this kind of help. I have long disliked the prince, and he has been thinking about how to harm us all day long. This time I finally made him stop!"

Dog bites dog, and a mouthful of hair is like a hair. Instead of letting the old emperor and the prince spend all their time digging holes for us, now we can save one of us."

This was said in such a simple and practical way that Lin Xiaoxiao, who was doing embroidery work at the side, couldn't help but laugh.

From Lin Xiaoxiao's point of view, it was really interesting to listen to the two brothers and sisters talking.

Seeing his wife smiling so happily, Han Jing became even more excited and said again to his wife and sister: "Also, Mo Li has laundered the two million taels from Zheng and Wang's family through several banks.

Yes, each of our five families will receive 400,000 taels, properly. Mo Li really has an idea. He can follow everything easily and closely. Now every family pays great attention to his words.

!”

Han Jiangxue was naturally elated when she heard her brother praising Mo Li to his face. After all, he was his future husband and his man, so how could he not be proud of him?

Just as she was about to speak out, she suddenly heard Lin Xiaoxiao retching. Both the brother and sister were startled. They quickly stopped saying anything else and hurried forward to ask her what was wrong.

After retching several times, Lin Xiaoxiao looked a little pale. Although she shook her head quickly to show that she was fine, Han Jing was still anxious and asked him if he had eaten something bad or if he felt uncomfortable somewhere.

People hurried to call the doctor.

But Lin Xiaoxiao refused to let anyone call the doctor, insisting that nothing happened to her. As she spoke, a blush appeared on her originally pale face.

Han Jiangxue said with a slight puzzlement: "Sister-in-law, how could you be retching for no reason? It's better to see a doctor. Your health is important, so we don't have to worry. Look how anxious my brother is!"

"Xue'er, I, I'm really fine, it's just..." Lin Xiaoxiao paused, then looked at Han Jing and said shyly: "It's just possible, it's possible."

"Yes? What's the matter?" When Han Jing heard this, he was even more anxious. He always felt that his wife was acting strangely.

On the other hand, Han Jiangxue, although she was a big girl, had a flash of inspiration after hearing these words and blurted out subconsciously: "Sister-in-law, you mean you are pregnant?"

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, and whispered: "It should be so. I have been late for a month since my childhood, but it is best to wait and wait until it is confirmed."

"What are you waiting for? Go and call the doctor quickly. Go and ask the doctor to take the young lady's pulse!" Han Jing was so excited that he asked someone to call the doctor while laughing and talking.

Lin Xiaoxiao was diagnosed.

At this moment, everyone in the room started to move. If Lin Xiaoxiao was really pregnant, she would really be the eldest grandson of the Han family. How could it make people unhappy.

After a while, before the doctor arrived, word spread around the house that Lin Xiaoxiao might be pregnant.

Han Feng, the second lady, and the third lady all rushed over after hearing the news. They all asked this and that with expectant faces, so that Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know what to do.

Lin Xiaoxiao thought that Han Jing was too anxious. Even before the doctor confirmed it, he asked someone to inform the elders in the family. If the doctor came later and diagnosed that she was not pregnant, wouldn't it be a big mistake?

, big joke?

As a result, the Han family seems to have been really lucky recently. Soon, the doctor who was invited confirmed that Lin Xiaoxiao had a happy pulse, which at least relieved Lin Xiaoxiao's nervous heart.

What followed was an overwhelming joy and countless instructions to be careful and attentive.

Of course, the Han family did not forget to send people to the Lin family to announce the good news! He was going to be a father. He was going to be a father. Of course he wanted everyone in the world to know about such a great news, and he wanted everyone to be happy for him!

The Han family was extremely happy, but at this time there were people in the palace who were not having a good time.

It had been more than an hour since the Sixth Prince was called to the imperial study by the Emperor. However, during this hour, the Emperor did not say a word to him, as if he had not seen him, and was minding his own business there reviewing the memorial.

Just leave him alone.

Although the Sixth Prince felt uncomfortable and had countless thoughts in his mind, he did not show it at all on his face.

He didn't show the slightest bit of displeasure, nor did he take the initiative to ask anything. He just stood where he should be, waiting respectfully.

Since the prince was under house arrest, he has not been allowed to see the emperor. Today, he was finally summoned by the emperor, but he made such a move. Thinking about it, he knew that it must be related to the prince's matter.

He asked himself that although he was very close to the prince on weekdays, it was only with the emperor's hint and permission, and he was not involved in the prince's affairs. Therefore, the emperor could not involve him too much because of the prince's matter, and what would he do to him?
