After King Shun left the capital, Yu Wenhao punished Tang Yang and kicked him out of the house with thirty blows. Tang Yang scolded Yu Wenhao at the gate of the house for not wanting to help him for many years. It was really chilling. When Yu Wenhao heard this, he was even more heartbroken. After some pushing and beating, Tang Yang finally left with hatred.
The flu broke out in Beijing, and the scarcity of medicines led to the people's resentment towards the court. Even more famous people came out to say that the prince had lost his virtue and that there was no cure for the sick. Yu Wenhao had always had a high reputation in the hearts of the people. , was suddenly belittled and trampled upon in such a way, and quickly swept the entire capital and even surrounding states and counties like a prairie fire.
I thought it was a difficult situation to control, but little did I know that just when the people were complaining, a large number of herbal medicines were distributed free of charge to the sick people.
The person who sent the medicine was under the banner of Prince An's Mansion.
The prince and Prince An met immediately.
The story of King An's original banishment from the capital was also brought up by everyone. It was said that he was framed that day. It was even said that the person who framed him was the prince, and the reason why the prince was canonized as the crown prince was It's because he gave birth to several sons. Since we are talking about the number of sons, he is really a mediocre person without talent.
The common people generally do not read much and have low IQ, so many people believe these rumors without doubt.
The prince's reputation has almost fallen to the bottom since he was enthroned.
However, the rumors were rumors, but Yu Wenhao didn't seem to care at all. His position in the court was already stable. Some people suggested that he suppress the discussion and arrest those who spread the rumors, but Yu Wenhao ignored them and only said: "As long as there is medicine. Whatever they say."
People also took turns to persuade Yuan Qingling, asking Yuan Qingling to persuade the prince. People are like water. Water can carry a boat or capsize it. Yuan Qingling and these ladies usually rarely interact with each other. Suddenly so many people came to persuade him. Naturally, she felt strange, so she smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the people pointed out Lao Wu's shortcomings, and he can correct them. We should be very grateful."
These words were spread by Tang Yang's people. Although the public opinion was not suppressed, people who were aware of it gradually learned to distinguish between them.
Yu Wenhao seemed to be facing enemies from both sides now, but he was much more relaxed than before. On the contrary, Prince An was restless in the palace.
No matter how highly he was praised outside, his heart felt cold.
In the past, he always thought that he was a master at playing with power, but now that he was hit one after another, he realized that he was just a child playing in the sand, and he was not at the same level as others.
He was in panic all day long, and even Princess An saw the clues. In addition, rumors spread throughout the capital, and the servants in the palace also heard about it. The people serving Princess An were indispensable to show off to Princess An, saying that nowadays the common people They all praised King An.
In Prince An's Mansion, most of the people were originally arranged by the emperor. Later, Concubine Di selected a few more people. Now the people who serve Princess An personally were selected by Concubine Di. Therefore, these people will follow the outside to support Prince An. .
After hearing these words, Princess An was not happy at all, and even frightened.
She couldn't help it, so she went to ask King An, "Is the person who sent the medicine outside really one of yours?"
King An sighed, his brows furrowed with worry, "How could he be my person?
Where do I have so much money to stock up on so many medicinal materials in advance?”
"I don't think it's you either, but will the prince believe you?"
Princess An asked.
King An was troubled and said anxiously: "He believes it or not."
He thought that Yu Wenhao would not believe him, and no one would believe him. He had a lot of misdeeds in the past, and he had fought with him for the position of prince. Now in the whole thing, Yu Wenhao was stepped on to promote him, and the people's attitude towards him
To praise him even better than any wise and famous minister in the past is not to praise him, but to praise him and kill him, making him enemies.
Seeing his impatience, Princess An didn't dare to ask, but she was filled with fear.
She didn't care about her postpartum weakness. After giving birth, she asked someone to prepare her carriage and horse and went straight to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to find Yuan Qingling.
Yuan Qingling was frightened when she saw her coming in person. Seeing that her clothes were thin, she quickly asked someone to welcome her into the side hall and put clothes on her.
"If you have anything to do, just ask someone to come over and tell you. Why come here in person?"
Yuan Qingling turned around and asked her grandma to make her a pot of ginger tea to go away the cold. Although the weather was about to enter summer, it mostly rained and it was still relatively cold.
Princess An didn't care about this and said softly: "Can I have a few words with you alone?"
Yuan Qingling nodded, asked the waiter in the room to go out, closed the door, looked at Princess An's pale and panic face, although she knew something in her heart, she also asked: "What's wrong?
Do you have to come here in person?"
Princess An looked at Yuan Qingling and said sincerely: "Recently, the words said to the prince outside are too unpleasant. I know this, but it really has nothing to do with the prince. He doesn't know the person who sent the medicine, and he doesn't have so many
You need money to buy medicine. Tell the prince not to cause any discord between the brothers. I think someone is deliberately trying to instigate their brotherly feelings in this matter."
Yuan Qingling also knew that she was here for this matter, so he comforted her and said: "This matter is a matter for men, so you can leave it alone. I think Lao Wu knows it well."
"It's not okay to ignore it." Princess An thought she didn't believe it and became a little anxious. "When the prince was in the palace recently, he kept sighing and saying that we were being taken advantage of."
"Did the prince really say that?"
Yuan Qingling looked at her and asked.
Princess An's eyes dodge. Naturally, the prince has never said this. She guessed it herself, but she really thinks that she is being taken advantage of. "This... maybe this is really the case. Princess, I know your heart."
Renhou would not want to see their brothers turn against each other. This... well, if we are really fooled into this matter, it will not be good for anyone, and it will be fatal."
Princess An was anxious because she knew this. Once the prince became suspicious, at this juncture, could the prince still tolerate the prince?
Yuan Qingling asked: "Don't worry, I'm asking you something, and you just answer me truthfully."
"You ask, you ask."
Princess An said nervously.
Yuan Qingling looked into her eyes and asked: "Do you still remember when you gave birth to the child, you said something, the prince has been to Huguo Temple several times, did he still go after you gave birth to the child?
?”
Princess An shook her head, "He never told me that he was going. During my confinement period, he also went out two or three times, but he didn't go for long. I guess he won't be able to go to Huguo Temple."
"What did he go to Huguo Temple for in the first place?"
Yuan Qing Ling asked.
Princess An was confused, "Well...what else can I do in Huguo Temple?
Naturally, I pray to God and Buddha to pray for a safe delivery."
She paused, her face turned a little pale, and looked at Yuan Qingling, "Then what happened to Huguo Temple?
Is there something inside that no one can see?"
Yuan Qingling did not explain to her, but said: "When you go back, tell the prince that Lao Wu and I know about his going to Huguo Temple."
"that's all?"
Princess An was stunned, her white face full of confusion.
