254. Chapter 254 He wants to pave the way for your second brother
Huangfu Yan's departure caused some panic in the entire capital.
Everyone had already guessed that the prince would not live long, but guesses were guesses and plans were plans. What made everyone uneasy this time was that what the emperor did was really outrageous.
Yunfu Palace, the palace of Concubine Shu.
Among the several high-ranking imperial concubines, the most inconspicuous is the Empress Shu.
Concubine De has the eldest son of the emperor and has a good family background. Concubine Li has the favor of the emperor. Needless to say, the queen is a gift from the late emperor. Concubine Xian has an eldest brother who holds military power. Concubine Shu is the only one whose natal family has the greatest official position.
She is just the Minister of Rites, her uncle, who is already over sixty years old, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to go any further.
Therefore, she always kept a low profile in the palace and did not compete or compete. Anyway, she was very confident and gave birth to a son, the fourth prince, early. Although neither mother nor son paid much attention to the emperor, they had no problem living a stable life.
But this time, when she heard that the emperor forced the prince to go to the border, she couldn't sit still.
He paced back and forth in the palace and hurriedly called for the fourth prince to enter the palace.
As soon as the fourth prince arrived, she hurriedly pushed away the palace attendants, grabbed his hand and said: "Xin'er, what is your father going to do? He, he is planning to let the prince die! Then, what will happen next?
It won’t be your turn? Xin’er, what should I do? What should I do?”
Concubine Shu is really not very courageous, and her background is not that strong. Although she had the idea of hoping that her son could ascend to the throne, her courage was shattered when she was frightened by the emperor's series of actions. As long as the emperor did not beat her son
She kowtowed and burned incense.
The fourth prince, Huangfu Xin, is actually the most stable among the princes except Huangfu Yan. The eldest prince is a psychopath, and no matter how much he pretends on the surface, his twisted psychology cannot be changed. The second prince was once pampered by the emperor and grew up, and is slightly a little bit...
Arrogant and ignorant, the fifth prince is the youngest, and the concubine is very thoughtful, so it is inevitable that she often talks to him, which affects his temperament. The fourth prince, on the other hand, has been a little transparent among the brothers since he was a child. The emperor has always treated his son as a respectable one.
I have a dispensable mentality. Occasionally I will praise a few words when I think of it, but I almost never think of it on weekdays.
Therefore, the fourth prince has known how to live peacefully since he was a child, and with Concubine Shu's little courage, she did not dare to instigate him to rebel or anything. On the contrary, he lived the easiest life.
Of course, the fourth prince is also smart. From the war between his brothers, he also realized a survival philosophy, which is to continue hiding and being a transparent person.
Seeing his mother and concubine in such a panic, the fourth prince couldn't help but comforted him: "Don't worry, concubine, my father is getting older and will inevitably be more partial. My son has always been cautious and has not made any mistakes. My father will not put her in the wrong position."
The anger was directed at me."
"It's not like he's just being partial now." Concubine Shu muttered in a low voice that only she could hear.
"What did the mother-in-law say?" the fourth prince asked.
"It's nothing." Concubine Shu looked at her son with a worried look on her face: "Concubine I only have you as my son. As long as you can do well, Concubine I will be satisfied. Concubine Concubine is just afraid now that your father, he, he will give you
Your second brother is paving the way! Tell me, what do you think we should do? Should we..."
"Absolutely not!" The fourth prince interrupted Concubine Shu immediately before she could say anything.
