This made Concubine De feel a little flustered for no reason. Concubine Yi didn't notice Concubine De's expression, but just said something to Kangxi next to her in slight surprise.
"Your Majesty, why does this madman look like Lord Longkodo?"
What kind of person is Longkodo? He is the younger brother of Empress Xiao Yiren and the son of the first-class Duke Tong Guowei. A man who is already over fifty years old molests a maid in the palace, which is a disgrace to the Tong family's family tradition.
What's more, Yifei's secret guards have long since found out that Longkodo has an unexplained relationship with Concubine De. Concubine De had an old relationship with Longkodo before entering the palace.
So when she heard that the madman was Longkodo, Concubine De was completely dumbfounded. She didn't believe that Longkodo would do such a heinous thing, so without thinking much, she actually begged for mercy on Longkodo's behalf.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Longkodo has always been loyal to your Majesty. Is there any misunderstanding about this matter? Your Majesty, please take a closer look."
"Misunderstanding?" The emperor couldn't help but turned to look at Concubine De, looking at her with a look of disbelief and asking. Concubine De felt a little weak due to the emperor's eyes, and did not dare to look at him. In the end, she could only bite the bullet and sneered: "
I just mentioned it casually, and I don’t want the emperor to treat me lightly."
The emperor glared at Concubine De displeasedly and said: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."
Upon hearing this, Concubine De saw that the emperor seemed a little angry, and her face turned pale with fright, and she did not dare to speak any more.
One can imagine the emperor's determination to deal with Longkodo, even if Concubine De's pleas were of no avail.
Although Prince Lian knew Longkodo's character, it was a done deal. He did not dare to plead for Longkodo easily. To live with a palace maid was an insult to the royal dignity. The emperor could not spare Longkodo easily.
Prince Lian could only send someone privately to find out who wanted to frame Longkodo.
As a result, they searched again and again, but found Concubine De's fault. Prince Lian felt depressed for a while, and actually fell ill.
In the final analysis, Prince Lian felt that his mother-in-law was partial to his fourteenth brother. Whatever he, Yinzhen, cared about, his wife, Concubine De, would not let him get what he wanted.
When Wanyue heard the news that Prince Lian was ill at Prince Heng's Mansion, she didn't believe it too much.
Now that the emperor has not mentioned Longkodo's matter to the public, and Longkodo is also considered a relative of the emperor, Wanyue guesses that the emperor must still have some scruples about dealing with Longkodo, and should find someone to add fuel to the fire.
Just fine.
As for the candidate, Wanyue felt that Sanfujin was the most suitable. Firstly, Prince Laicheng and Longkodo were not familiar with each other, and secondly, Prince Laicheng also had some thoughts about the throne...
"Fu Jin, it's late at night, you should take a rest." Seeing Wanyue standing in front of the window in a daze, Ying'er couldn't help but persuade her.
Wanyue came back to her senses and smiled happily at Ying'er, "Yes, it's getting late, and some things should be settled earlier. Tomorrow you send a stranger to Prince Cheng's Mansion to deliver a letter.
Let’s go to bed today.”
Ying'er immediately nodded and said, "Fu Jin, don't worry, I will definitely take care of it."
"This matter must be done quietly. Tomorrow you have to ask the person who delivers the letter not to reveal that he is from Prince Cheng's palace easily. He can just deliver the letter." Wanyue warned.
Ying'er couldn't guess why Wanyue told her to do this, so she thought about it alone for a while.
Prince Cheng's Mansion is no more noble than Prince Heng's Mansion, but it has the atmosphere of a scholar's book everywhere. This is the first impression of the servant who delivers letters to Prince Cheng's Mansion.
Even the guard at the door of Prince Cheng's Mansion seemed to be thinner than the one at Prince Hate's Mansion. The boy stared at the guard at the door for a few times, and then the housekeeper of Prince Cheng's Mansion came over calmly.
The young man explained his purpose and handed the letter to the steward of Prince Cheng's palace. The steward repeatedly asked the young man whose servant he was. The young man remained silent. The steward was quite speechless. After sending the young man away, he asked the servant in the backyard.
The maid handed the letter to Sanfujin.
San Fujin, like Prince Cheng, is a man who can't keep his word. How could he still sit still after knowing the secret of First-Class Duke Tong Guowei's son? He even went to Prince Cheng's study.
There are quite a few literati in Prince Cheng's palace, and most of them want to get an official position with Prince Cheng. Now that they know the heinousness of Longkodo's crimes, why don't they feel indignant and express their opinions one after another.
However, Prince Cheng was a little worried about this matter. Firstly, the letter came out of nowhere. He didn’t know who sent it and what the purpose was. Secondly, Longkodo had always been close to Lian Qinqin. If he personally reported to Emperor Ama
After exposing Longkodo's other crimes, what should his fourth brother think of his third brother?
There is also the huge power of the Tong family behind Longkodo... Prince Cheng thought about it, and with the instigation of the retainers in the mansion, Prince Cheng felt that the power of the Tong family could not take advantage of Prince Lian.
Now the prince is supported by Jiu Beile and Ten Beile. Although his third elder brother has the title of Prince Cheng, he is not as powerful as Jiu Beile. Thinking of this, Prince Cheng's face became darker. He felt that if he could expose Long Ke
Due to his relationship with Prince Lian, Huang Ama might reconsider entrusting him with some important errands.
A few days later, Prince Lian's condition finally came to an end.
Before the court meeting began, Prince Cheng approached Prince Lian and said meaningfully: "Fourth brother has been doing well recently. What do you mean by saying that Huang Ama has not dealt with Longkodo yet?"
Prince Lian was stunned for a moment, his breath stagnant, and after a moment of pause he replied: "When did the third brother care so much about my uncle?"
Prince Cheng chuckled, raised his hand and patted Prince Lian on the shoulder, "Fourth brother, you still have a close relationship with Longkodo. We elder brothers don't have the blessing to call him uncle."
Prince Lian choked at Prince Cheng's words and felt inexplicably worried.
"Three brother's words are obvious. After all, he is also the younger brother of the late empress. According to the etiquette of the Qing Dynasty, it is right for us to call him uncle."
Prince Cheng smiled and ignored Prince Lian's words. Their emperor Ama had three queens. If each of the younger brothers asked the princes to call them uncle, wouldn't it be a mess?
At the court meeting, the minister of the Ministry of Rites was the first to report, "I would like to report to the emperor that I have something to report to you."
A trace of surprise flashed in the emperor's eyes, and Prince Lian couldn't help but look at the official of the Ministry of Rites. Wherever he looked, he saw the official glance at Prince Cheng.
Looking at this scene, Prince Lian's eyes flashed with uneasiness, and he knew that what his third brother, Prince Cheng, asked him today was by no means a temporary thought. Thinking of this, Prince Lian couldn't help but clenched his fists in anger, feeling panicked.
Endless.
Just as Prince Lian had guessed, the official from the Ministry of Rites really complained to him, "Reporting to the Emperor, the ministers found out that Prince Lian and Longkodo had close contacts, and Longkodo broke into the palace secretly. The reason why Baoqi was not protected was because of Lian's influence."
The prince’s instruction…”
There is no reason to accuse someone, but in order to reduce the emperor's suspicion, although Prince Lian was panicked, he had to force himself to straighten his chest and act like it had nothing to do with him.
