Chapter 890 The contents of the two imperial edicts are different
Looking back at the closed door of the Royal Study, Bo Jiming said nothing and silently accompanied Qin Jiaoxi to leave.
As for why his father-in-law was suddenly so kind and willing to let him take Xi'er to Danlie Country to meet his parents, he certainly had his reasons...
Even if he was to be used to inquire about the situation of the Dan kingdoms, wouldn't he be willing to do so?
So there is no need to explain anything to Xi'er!
At the other end, Eunuch Zhou, who had received the imperial edict again, had arrived at the door of Shangshu Mansion with a large number of guards.
However, he did not announce the decree, nor did he rush to inform others. Instead, he stood at the door and waited, not knowing what he was waiting for.
Tang Jingxian managed to enter the house just a second before Eunuch Zhou. At this moment, she rushed into the house and took out the letter of departure that she had prepared.
Well, yes, it was written a long time ago - after the fourth prince failed to succeed to the throne, on the day she was driven back to the East Palace from Fengwu Palace, she forced the fourth prince to write the letter of separation in a fit of anger.
But later he calmed down and was coaxed by the fourth prince, telling him that there was still hope, so he gave up the idea for the time being.
But he secretly asked someone to send his He Li Shu back to Shangshu Mansion to keep it safe.
It comes in handy at this moment.
Tang Jingxian held the He Li book in her hands, her hands trembling.
However, I didn't hear any movement at the door of the house for a long time.
Tang Jingxian was stunned: "What's going on? Isn't Eunuch Zhou outside the door? Why is there no movement at all?"
The servants of Shangshu Mansion didn't know what was going on outside, so they secretly went out to take a look, and were shocked to find Eunuch Zhou standing at the gate of Shangshu Mansion with twenty guards.
Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he holds the imperial edict in his arms, but he stands leisurely and calmly, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, and not announcing...
"What's going on? Did something big happen to Shangshu Mansion?"
"Isn't Eunuch Zhou someone close to the new emperor? Is he here to convey the decree?"
"Isn't it? Does Shangshu Mansion still want to resist the decree?"
The old man guarding the door was panicked and quickly asked the boy to go to the house to deliver the message.
But at this moment, Tang Shangshu had been summoned to the palace by the emperor to discuss the defense projects along the coast of Yanchu.
Mrs. Shangshu accompanied the Queen Mother to enjoy the flowers in Shou'an Palace early in the morning.
——Although the Ninth Princess was banned, the Queen Mother had to hold various banquets in her palace and was still able to successfully summon the high-ranking female family members of Beiling City to enter the palace.
Therefore, the boy finally had no choice but to go straight to Tang Jingxian's yard.
"Miss, miss, what's wrong is that Eunuch Zhou is holding the imperial edict outside, but he doesn't announce it!"
The grandma who came back with Tang Jingxian was frightened.
"Could it be possible that they are chasing us to punish our lady?"
Tang Jingxian stamped her feet: "Never mind, I have reconciled with you, and the affairs of the fourth prince have nothing to do with me!"
"I'm going out to go back to Eunuch Zhou!"
"This imperial decree should send him directly to the dark prison to the fourth prince!"
Grandma hesitated for a moment but did not stop her.
In fact, if she hadn't considered that her master still had two children left in the palace, she wouldn't have hesitated.
You know, the four princes are all in the dark prison. Even if they don't die, they will be a useless person if they get up again!
And her master is so young, he is in his most glorious time. If he is really demoted to a commoner with the fourth prince and goes to those desolate places on the border, how can he still survive?
So Tang Jingxian ran to the gate without any hindrance. The moment she saw Eunuch Zhou, she took out the rolled-up He Li Shu with a "swish".
"Eunuch Zhou, my wife and I, no, the Fourth Prince and I have already reconciled!"
"If you have any imperial edict regarding the Fourth Prince, please go to him directly instead of me!"
Eunuch Zhou didn't seem to be surprised at all. He stepped forward and took a closer look at the He Li Shu in Tang Jingxian's hand.
"Well, it's quite official. There are two copies... It seems that the letter of departure was indeed written by His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince himself!"
Tang Jingxian nodded wildly: "Yes, the fourth prince wrote it himself, and I also drew it!"
Then he handed one of them over: "Please take Eunuch Zhou back with you and give this copy to His Highness the Fourth Prince!"
Eunuch Zhou asked a guard beside him to accept He Lishu first, and then said: "In that case, I also have a separate imperial edict for you, Miss Tang of Shangshu Mansion!"
He opened the imperial edict held in his arms on his left side and read out: "I have received the imperial edict from Heaven, and the fourth prince has been responsible for the affairs of Yanchu State for me. For the past six years, there has been no merit but also suffering... No, wait, I got it wrong!"
Eunuch Zhou said "Oh!" and quickly re-rolled the imperial edict, and then took out another imperial edict from his right pocket.
This time he opened it and looked at it carefully: "Well, you're right now, it's this one!"
In Tang Jingxian's stunned expression, Eunuch Zhou said calmly:
"The Emperor Chengyun issued an edict saying that Tang, the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, has chosen to reconcile with the four princes, and they will marry each other without any disputes. I will restore the status of the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion in accordance with the content of the letter of reconciliation.
The two royal heirs remain in the palace and are personally educated by the Queen Mother..."
Tang Jingxian gradually tilted her head.
Something seems wrong?
Wait, why did the emperor know that she had a He Li Shu? He also wrote an imperial edict in advance to arrange the children according to the contents of the He Li Shu?
Could it be that the fourth prince had told him in advance?
Thinking of this, Tang Jingxian gritted her teeth: "Isn't it just for the royal heirs? I don't care about it!"
She doesn't want to raise a child, let alone see her again with a slut!
But something seems wrong?
Just after reading the imperial edict, Tang Jingxian suddenly thought of something: "Wait a minute, father-in-law, what was the other imperial edict you just read?"
Eunuch Zhou put the imperial edict into her hand calmly: "Since Miss Tang has nothing to do with the Fourth Prince, and the other imperial edict is from His Highness the Fourth Prince, there is no need to disturb Miss Tang anymore!"
Tang Jingxian did not let go, and held on to Eunuch Zhou: "Wait a minute, just now I clearly heard you say that the fourth prince has hard work without merit? What then? What next?"
"Eunuch Zhou, tell me, what did the emperor ask him to do? He restored his identity, right?"
"I heard that the emperor said that he would choose a regent among the princes. Does the fourth prince still have this chance?"
Eunuch Zhou took half a step back: "Miss Tang is overthinking. Even if the fourth prince is not demoted to a commoner, there is no way he will participate in the election of the regent again!"
"What's more, he really made a big mistake this time!"
Tang Jingxian frowned and took a step back.
That is indeed a big mistake.
Even if the Supreme Emperor can seek mercy from the Emperor and prevent him from being demoted to a commoner, so what?
After all, she made a mistake in this step. Will she make another mistake in every step?
Thinking of this, Tang Jingxian let go of Eunuch Zhou and tightly held the imperial edict in her hand: "Well, then, I'll trouble Eunuch Zhou to make a special trip to deliver the edict!"
As he said this, he turned around and glanced at the aunt behind him, then handed Eunuch Zhou a bunch of money.
As long as she is restored to her status as the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, the fourth prince will no longer have any future.
