The news that Xiao Lei was seriously injured was rushed to the capital by Zhao Chengji 800 miles away.
After learning the news, Xiaohou almost fainted in the court.
Especially with Zhao Chengji's wonderful writing, the critical situation when Zhao Chengji was seriously injured and the persistence of each of the Dongling Army were all described in such a way that everyone is immersed in the scene.
Of course, the focus is on Su Nianyun’s name.
This was done intentionally by Zhao Chengji.
Even if he didn't know why Su Nianyun was in the army, everyone in the court probably knew it.
When the emperor found out, not only would he not reprimand Su Nianyun, but he would reward Su Nianyun.
After all, this is the Queen Mother's favorite adopted daughter, and she is also the princess who has been playing a vital role in the war between the two countries.
Everything went as Zhao Chengji expected. After his memorial came to Beijing, Su Nianyun's rewards came one after another.
The Queen Mother, in particular, was worried about her adopted daughter, and felt that her adopted daughter's actions in Mobei brought glory to her face, and she was rewarded even more than the emperor.
Of course, the Queen Mother's reward paid more attention to practicality and portability. After all, Su Nianyun would not stay in Mobei City for a long time. It would be troublesome for her to bring so many things when she returns to Beijing.
And because of this secret, it was learned that Xiao Lei was rescued by Xiao Changfeng and others on the battlefield. Xiao Hu, who had always been incompatible with Xiao Chang, rarely kept silent about the Mobei incident in the court.
He was even grateful that they had tried their best to save his son, so he decided to put aside the dispute between the two Xiaohoufus and stop dictating the war in Mobei in the court.
As for those who have always paid too much attention to the war in Mobei, it is of course the prince's side.
The prince couldn't stand the fact that Zhao Chengji used to be his dog, but now he wanted to become his master. Naturally, under his instruction, his men spared no effort to attack Zhao Chengji.
Now, the Great Xiao Hou suddenly stopped siding with the prince and joined them in attacking the few people fighting in Mobei. The power of the prince's side became lonely and weak.
Finally, on the day of Li Fei's death, this loneliness reached its peak.
Before Li Fei died, she vomited a large mouthful of black blood, which was a perfect example of dying unjustly.
So, when the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, the imperial doctor found a trace amount of poison in the soup Li Fei used on the last night before her death.
It is another process of slowly poisoning people to death in small amounts.
This method is too similar to some people's methods.
Emperor Tianqi sat on the dragon throne in grief, looking at Queen Jiang.
"It turns out that Li Fei has always been so hysterical and always targeted you relentlessly. It's actually because you were secretly drugging him..."
Drugs change people's minds and make them hysterical.
So, who was the reaction to poisoning when his concubine Li was crazy?
"I thought you would stop after killing Concubine Li's unborn child."
"I didn't expect you to become more aggressive. I took every precaution, but I didn't expect you would strike again!"
"Your Majesty, you really have wronged me this time..." Empress Jiang cried, "It's really not me!"
"I attacked Li Fei's child because I was jealous, nothing else."
"And I've been through so much, how could I possibly attack Li Fei again?"
"The Emperor is really not me. You must find out the truth. Someone is framing me. You must not be fooled!"
Empress Jiang looked at the emperor's disbelieving eyes and gradually fell into despair.
"You don't have to cry out to catch the thief. There is no one more vicious than you in this palace." The emperor was filled with righteous indignation.
He gave Queen Jiang countless opportunities, but she never cherished them.
"You can't tolerate Concubine Li, and you can't tolerate other concubines being favored..."
"You obviously have a son, and he is already a prince. What else do you want? Why are you so dissatisfied?"
"Even if Concubine Li gives birth to a child, it will not cause any conflict of interest with you. Why can't you tolerate their mother and child?"
The more the emperor talked, the angrier he became. He felt depressed and just wanted to draw a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty, it's really not me, I..." Queen Jiang really has a hundred mouths and she can't explain clearly.
"Your Majesty," Empress Jiang suddenly thought, "Please ask the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother will definitely be able to restore my innocence. The Queen Mother will definitely be able to..."
"No need," the emperor said, "Last time, I should have punished you severely, but the Queen Mother spared you. I will not make the same mistake a second time!"
"Come on, take away the title of Empress Jiang and throw her into the cold palace." After saying this, the emperor walked away.
The queen was deprived of her title and thrown into the cold palace, and everyone became distraught.
With his biological mother like this, how many days can the prince stay in his position, not to mention all the stupid things he has done in the past.
Soon, the ministers were aiming at the direction of the wind, and the documents to impeach the prince were sent to the court like snowflakes.
With the help of interested people, Emperor Tianqi also removed Zhao Chengzhi from his position as crown prince at the court meeting a few days later.
It's also because this prince is really not decent!
For a time, the prince's party was completely collapsed.
However, when one force fell, several new ones emerged.
People who used to belong to the prince's party were looking for new backers.
At this time, Xiao Hu was rejoicing in the house that he had escaped the disaster.
"Father, it's a good thing that you didn't participate in the prince's actions this time, otherwise..." The consequences would be disastrous.
The speaker was Xiao Guang, Xiao Hu’s second son.
"I don't know whether to call it lucky or unfortunate," Xiao Hu sighed, "If something hadn't happened to your eldest brother, I wouldn't have withdrawn from the various plans of the prince's gang members in halfhearted mood."
"But when I think about the fact that my family escaped disaster, it was only with your eldest brother's body that I really..."
Xiao Hu felt increasingly uncomfortable.
"Father, don't be discouraged. My eldest brother will be back soon. You can't let him see your decadent look, otherwise he will be even more sad."
"We all need to cheer up and take good care of our big brother."
"He only injured his neck. He is not injured elsewhere. He cannot speak, but he has good hands and feet. We should be lucky..."
"You're right," Xiao Hu nodded, "Your eldest brother is always lucky. I'm glad that the Eighteenth Prince and Xiao Changfeng spared no effort to save him!"
"That's right, father, I never expected that the eighteenth prince would be so careless about past grudges..."
"Speaking of the eighteenth prince," Xiao Hu's eyes moved, "Without the prince, chaos will arise in the court. We should take a long-term view."
"What father means..." Xiao Guang's heart moved.
He probably understood what his father meant.
Xiao Hu said, "If this eighteenth prince is serious, we can support him a little. After all, he saved your eldest brother."
"Besides, if we interact like this, no one will gossip. They will only express their gratitude for saving his life, and no one will dare to say anything."
"But father, didn't the Tenth Prince look for you a few days ago?"
"Not only the tenth prince, but also the fifth prince and the sixth prince have also looked for me..."
On one side of Xiao Hu's face was a look of embarrassment that he couldn't make a choice, but on the other side he was proud of being noticed by several parties at the same time.
"Dad, these princes' maternal families are all very tyrannical. If we choose any one at random, will they be better than the eighteenth prince?"
"What do you know?" Xiao Hu said, "It is precisely because they are evenly matched that they have a hard fight."
"Have you never heard of it? The snipe and the clam compete with each other and the fisherman gets the benefit?"
"They are fighting each other in the court to weaken each other's power...but the eighteen princes are fighting against foreign countries outside. Which one will gain more benefits by supporting it? Think about it carefully!"
After hearing his father's analysis, Xiao Guang suddenly felt enlightened.
"Father, what you are saying is that we helped those three princes, and our future achievements will not be outstanding among their supporters."
"But if the eighteenth prince is alone and becomes the emperor, our achievements will be at the founding level..."
"But," Xiao Guang said worriedly, "what if the Eighteenth Prince cannot become the emperor? After all, those three princes have the support of many ministers..."
"Who told you to take sides openly?" Xiao Hu glared at his son, "Why can't you change your mind?"
His two sons combined are not as smart as his father.
It was a pity in Xiao Hu's life that he had two sons, but none of them was outstanding.
Thinking back to the days when Xiao Changfeng and he were fighting against each other in court, where there were losses and losses, he suddenly felt that it would be a good thing to have a son like Xiao Changfeng.
The two father and son were talking in the room, and someone came from outside and said, "Master Marquis, the prince is back!"
