God knows how many losses she has suffered at the hands of the Wei family over the years, both overtly and covertly.
Now I finally feel comfortable, and even the jewelry I don’t usually love looks much more pleasing to the eye.
In the days that followed, the city of Dongdu was in turmoil.
Bai Xiang and Xu Gelao worked together to combine all the clues and evidence that Feng Jinlin had searched in Jinling City, and arrested nineteen courtiers with reasonable evidence.
Some are accused of participating in corruption, and some are involved in conspiracy. In short, no one is innocent.
And after they were imprisoned in the Criminal Department, they revealed a lot of things.
Some even implicated the Wen family and his son in the sale of official titles. Everyone was praying that this storm would pass as soon as possible.
At this moment, the emperor and the eldest prince were discussing other matters.
"Is the doctor's words true?"
"Father, don't worry. The imperial doctor has checked carefully. Although the emperor's condition has improved, he has also lost half of his life. He may only live for ten years at most. Not to mention that the arrow that day seemed to have injured him again.
My heart is broken, I’m afraid I won’t be able to go into battle to kill the enemy again.”
The eldest prince told the truth, and Emperor Qi's worries for many days finally relaxed.
At most ten years, he may not be able to outlive himself. It seems that he only needs to keep a close watch and does not need to take any action. He can just wait for him to hurt himself and die, which saves him a hand.
"But people outside don't know about this. They all want to send their daughter to the emperor's uncle's palace."
In the current situation, those people naturally need to find someone to back them up.
The eldest prince was involved in this, and few people dared to blatantly come to send off their wives.
There were a group of women and children in Bai Xiang's family, and there were even fewer women and children in Xu Ge's hometown, so they had no choice but to target King Ding.
Emperor Qi knew a lot about these things, so he was thinking about whether to grant a marriage to King Ding to dilute the panic these days.
As for marriage, who is the most suitable person?
I couldn't get my bearings for a while.
But the eldest prince suddenly spoke.
"Father, I think that the third young lady of the Feng family is a good candidate. Once Feng Bai and Xu's three families are married, the power in the court will become more powerful. If this third young lady can find a suitable candidate,
I am afraid that a son-in-law will be disadvantageous to the court and the royal family. But if you marry the emperor's uncle, it will appear to be a great success, but in fact it will cut off the road between them. I heard that the third lady's health is not very good."
The body and bones are not very good, this sentence is very meaningful.
It would be difficult for both of them to have a baby when both of them have weak bones.
Emperor Qi glanced at the eldest prince and clearly agreed with his statement, and said with satisfaction in his eyes.
"Yes, you can think about things. The first thing to do as a king is to weigh the pros and cons. No matter who is the dominant family, it is not good. This candidate is good, but let's look at it again. There is no need to rush this moment."
"Yes, I would like to thank my father for your advice."
He had kept the matter of Miss Feng San in mind, and it would be better for others to inquire about it first.
Emperor Qi was concerned about their marriage, but Prince Li's palace on the other side was wailing.
Princess Hua Ran's title of princess has been deprived of her. If she were not a member of the royal family, she would be buried with Prince Li's family just like those concubines.
Seeing her former "sisters" being taken away one by one, Princess Hua Ran felt uncomfortable.
It's not that I feel sorry for them, it's just that it's such a pity.
It's obviously just one step away, just one step away, and the world belongs to the Ninth Prince!
After he ascends the throne, he successfully gives birth to his legitimate son, and if he finds an opportunity to join forces with Duke Wei to kill him, then he will be the legitimate empress dowager and the most noble woman in the Jin Dynasty!
It's a pity that all this has become a passing smoke.
The servants came to report that their luggage had been packed and that they would return to Prince Yu's Mansion only a few days after their wedding.
Putting aside whether she is supercilious or not, the thing that makes her most difficult to get off now is the child in her belly.
While the Ninth Prince was still here, this was her bargaining chip.
But in this situation, I don't know whether this child is a blessing or a curse.
In Prince Ding's Mansion, Xiao Tingyi has been "sick" again these days.
Therefore, the entire palace was filled with the bitter smell of the soup, which gave people a headache. Especially the royal guards who were monitoring Prince Ding's palace were all unbearable, so the surveillance gradually became lax.
Xu Lin told Prince Ding that Princess Hua Ran was pregnant, and he was a little surprised.
"I thought he wasn't close to women, but I didn't expect that he still left a seed for me."
Xiao Tingyi said casually, but Xu Lin didn't know how to handle this situation.
After thinking for a moment, he said.
"Find an opportunity to let Emperor Qi know about this matter. They are his grandchildren. What to do with them is his own business. We won't worry about them. On the contrary, there is no trace of those private soldiers in Qianzhou.
This is the direction you should continue to pursue."
"yes!"
The private soldiers in Qianzhou were not made up by Bai Xiang or Emperor Qi was suspicious, but they really existed.
It's just that Duke Wei hid this matter so well that even the secret guards of Prince Ding's Mansion were a bit elusive for a while, so that was the bargaining chip that could threaten the Jin Dynasty.
The jade pendant in his hand was a little hot from being rubbed back and forth. Xu Lin knew that the prince was thinking about something, so he quietly withdrew.
After arranging all the things that the prince just ordered, he looked at the royal guards hidden in the trees outside, with a hint of ridicule on his lips.
It's really embarrassing to be a secret guard like them!
Turn around and arrange for someone to make the smell of those medicines stronger. It's best to stun a few before talking.
Emperor Qi's illness recovered quickly under the eldest prince's dedicated care, so the decree to confer the crown prince was finally made at the end of August.
The eldest prince's party followed the chicken and dog to heaven, but those who were in the main hall at that time gradually became alienated.
If for no other reason than their "loyalty", the eldest prince really looked down upon them.
The canonization ceremony was scheduled for the end of September, and one month was enough time to prepare. However, the imperial edict had already been issued, so the people in the palace and harem changed their names and called him His Royal Highness.
Similarly, Princess Ke also became the Crown Princess, and all the women in the Crown Prince's residence were happy.
All day long, he was giving money to the servants around the prince, hoping that they could lure the prince over. One of the things he wanted to do was regain his favor, and the most important thing was to have a son and a half daughters.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that His Highness the Crown Prince's heart was now being grasped by Wen Yuwei from the outer courtyard.
At this moment, he was lying under the grape vines and rubbing his hair with Wen Yuwei.
"Yu'er, you are indeed my prince's lucky star. Fortunately, you reminded me about Fahua Temple. Otherwise, how could my father tell the world about the crown prince's intention so quickly?"
