Huixin knelt on the ground and apologized to Su Nianyun, "Princess, I'm sorry, I was careless before...I didn't notice Xiaohou and Young Master..."
Su Nianyun finally understood what she was talking about.
"Are you talking about the fact that Jing'er is Xiao Changfeng's son?"
Hui Xin hurriedly lowered her head, "Princess, it's Hui Xin's fault. Hui Xin is usually so careless that Xiao Hou and Young Master miss many opportunities to get along."
"Huixin, this matter has nothing to do with you in the first place, and I deliberately asked you to prevent father and son from meeting each other later!"
"Everything is my own decision and has nothing to do with you. You don't have to apologize to me!"
She held Jing'er in her arms, pressed her cheek against his, and rubbed his hair before handing Jing'er back to Huixin's hands.
"I have always trusted you. It doesn't matter if you know this. It's just that it's definitely not good if others know too much. Just know it and don't spread it to others."
"Huixin understands!" Huixin nodded.
"Okay, you can go play with your children. Don't worry about anything."
"Yes, princess." Huixin immediately led Jing'er and Pingan out of the study.
After they left, Su Nianyun quietly drank tea alone in the study.
Although she looked calm on the surface, in fact, her heart was filled with ups and downs, all because of what Xiao Changfeng said.
Xiao Changfeng didn't want to say his plan at first. He didn't want the bloody storm in the court to affect their mother and son.
But because Su Nianyun was smart, he could guess a few things even if he didn't say anything, so he told Su Nianyun all his plans.
Su Nianyun looked at the paper on the table that she used to count her wedding date. There were not many days left for their wedding.
On the sixteenth day when the wedding date was written, she drew several circles with her pen, feeling filled with sadness.
The next day was the first time since Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne that he did not appear in the court without any reason.
The ministers who had come to attend the court meeting early were speculating on what had happened.
Just as the ministers were discussing from the faint morning light to the third day of the sun, everyone did not wait for Emperor Tianqi, but instead waited for an imperial edict from the young eunuch.
The general idea is similar to what the ministers guessed. It stands to reason that the emperor is seriously ill and the prince will be in charge of the government for the next three days.
For a time, the courtiers who supported the prince Zhao Chengji were delighted to hear the news.
The fact that the emperor was ill and entrusted the prince to supervise the country meant two things.
First, the emperor's body is somewhat exhausted.
Second, the emperor is very satisfied with His Highness the Crown Prince and is willing to let him supervise the country and explain that the future throne will not belong to Zhao Chengji.
Therefore, the ministers who supported Zhao Chengji were very happy.
But the courtiers who supported the Sixth and Ninth Princes furrowed their brows silently.
It would not be a good thing if the prince changed from a temporary prisoner to a permanent prisoner, so everyone thought of ways to deal with it.
Among them, the most calm one is undoubtedly the Sixth Prince Zhao Chengli, who has the best chance of becoming the crown prince.
His advisers advised him one after another.
"Sixth Prince, you can't sit still and wait for death, you must make plans as soon as possible!"
"Sixth Prince, you must never underestimate the enemy again. You must take advantage of the prince's stage of power to create mistakes for him, so that the emperor can discover his shortcomings and take the opportunity to dislike him."
"Yes, the Sixth Prince..."
Several veterans were talking buzzingly around Zhao Chengli. Zhao Chengli seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand. In short, he nodded to everyone's words, but in the end he did nothing.
Even during the few days when the prince was supervising the country, he obeyed the prince's instructions and never said that he would make things difficult for Zhao Chengji because of his status as an elder brother.
Zhao Chengji was very satisfied with Zhao Chengli's surrender and obedience.
While the number of people who originally supported the Sixth Prince was the largest, the number of people who supported the Ninth Prince was less than half of that of the Sixth Prince.
Nowadays, the Sixth Prince has died down and there is no movement. The Ninth Prince is trying to stir up troubles, but he has no ability to do so.
After being beaten by Zhao Chengji for a reason, the Ninth Prince also became more honest.
Faced with the submission of these two best heirs to the throne, Zhao Chengli felt happy in his heart.
In the court, he also gradually developed a domineering attitude.
Soon, the last day of his prison term came.
Zhao Chengji suddenly named Xiao Changfeng, saying that he had not been doing things well recently and that the shadow of Xiao Zuo had appeared in several places in the capital.
Xiao Changfeng defended, "I, the noble Lord, have no mission to catch details."
"The reason why I was attacking Xizuo all over the capital was to prepare for the Mobei Army to defeat Fan Bang."
"Fan Bang has now surrendered and is a vassal of Dongling Kingdom."
"In the past, I led people around to catch Xizuo in order to subjugate the foreign countries. Now that the foreign countries have surrendered, there is no reason why I should still be responsible for catching Xizuo."
"So Your Highness, you have lectured the wrong person and found the wrong person in this matter!" Xiao Changfeng mocked Zhao Chengji in public.
As soon as he said this, several people in the court nodded in agreement.
They are all people who Zhao Chengji failed to find out the truth and arbitrarily accused and punished.
Seeing that Xiao Changfeng and Xiao Hou actually contradicted the prince in this way, those who had previously been ordered to be severely punished by Zhao Chengji immediately agreed with Xiao Changfeng.
"Your Highness, Xiaohou is right. You didn't investigate the facts clearly, and when you saw a mistake, you insisted on fixing it on us. We are wronged!"
"Unjustly accused!"
"Please, Your Highness, please don't act so recklessly."
For a time, there were voices of admonition in the court.
"you……"
Seeing that there were actually five or six adults protesting to him, Zhao Chengji's expression changed again and again.
"You actually threatened me?"
A threat can escalate conflicts.
The ministers all changed their faces because of Zhao Chengji's words.
Is this prince a little too complacent when he recently took over the power? How dare he say that?
threaten?
This word is no less than forced uterus, which is a very serious matter.
In particular, Zhao Chengji was rebellious. After being angered by these ministers, he became increasingly unable to control his temper.
In the court hall, in front of all the ministers, he reprimanded those who had refuted him one by one.
At this time, the prince couldn't hold back his anger and completely exploded.
Among the ministers who were severely reprimanded was Xiao Changfeng.
On the last day of the prince's supervision of the country, such a big thing happened, and the eunuchs couldn't help but go to find Emperor Tianqi.
Looking at the smoky court, Emperor Tianqi first reprimanded the group of ministers, and then reprimanded Zhao Chengji.
"You are the dignified prince and the superintendent of the country, and you represent my identity!"
"Did they make any serious mistake? That they allowed you to scold them without regard for their self-esteem?"
Faced with the emperor's rebuke, Zhao Chengji was speechless for a moment.
He admitted that he was too impulsive today, but it seemed that he realized it a little late.
