After the second prince was put under house arrest, the people of the Zhang family became much more obedient, especially after they learned that Aunt Yinping had been arrested, they didn't even dare to leave the house.

The Zhang family was in a panic all day long, and He Xiangdi, who had been in the backyard, had a sneer on his face and the flower buds in his hands were crushed by his fingers.

The pink juice covered her hands, and the sneer on her face made the maid standing beside her shudder.

"I didn't expect the Zhang family would come to this point. Don't you think this is retribution? Hahahaha." He Xiangdi laughed out loud, and his crazy look made him look like a madman.

No wonder Zhang Shaoqi hasn’t come to He Xiangdi’s yard recently.

The others didn't dare to make a sound or respond, they could only shiver and huddle back.

Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, He Xiangdi threw away the remaining flowers in his hand, looked at them contemptuously and said, "You are all trash!"

Zhang Shaoqi is a waste, and the others are not much better!

Touching the thing in his arms, He Xiangdi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. The situation was already so lively, how could he not get involved at this time?

He was happy to see the Zhang family in trouble. He wished that the current Zhang family members would go to hell immediately. The dark thoughts made He Xiangdi's originally plain facial features look even more fierce, and he no longer had the arrogant image of the past.

After washing his hands, He Xiangdi walked towards the courtyard of Zhang family's eldest daughter in a good mood.

It is normal for a sister-in-law to visit her sister-in-law when she is bored.

After the second prince knew that he was under house arrest, he could only stay in his mansion and drink.

Like everyone else, he had not expected that the young master meant so much to the emperor. It was just a rumor, but it made the emperor so angry that he was even locked up.

What frightened the Second Prince even more was Huo Cheng. Huo Cheng's brutality that night made the Second Prince's scalp tingle. The knife that chopped the stone statue was like chopping it on his own body. Now, seeing the stone statue broken into two pieces, the Second Prince's legs felt a little weak.

Maybe he was frightened by Huo Cheng, but for a moment the Second Prince didn't dare to do anything else and stayed in his house honestly.

But he didn't expect that even though he was so obedient, he was still hit hard by a big pot that suddenly appeared at night.

The servants of the Zhang family found that their young lady had not gotten up until noon. When the maid went into the room to check, she found that the young lady was missing.

Now the Zhang family was in a state of confusion again. It had been a turbulent time recently, and now a living person was missing. Zhang Yuanzhong did not dare to report to the police, so he could only ask someone to investigate secretly.

Unexpectedly, before anyone even left the house, Miss Zhang was sent back crying.

After asking this, I found out that it was the Second Prince's people who came to pick up Miss Zhang last night.

Zhang Yuanzhong felt like he was struck by lightning. Ever since Empress Zhang had a legitimate son, they had been thinking of slowly severing ties with the Second Prince. They had not expected that the Second Prince would be so cruel this time.

He was under house arrest, but he still had Miss Zhang abducted, hoping to use marriage to control the Zhang family.

Zhang Yuanzhong's face turned pale, and he quickly asked someone to take the young lady back home so that she would not embarrass herself outside the door.

Early in the morning, a sedan chair came out of the Second Prince's mansion, and many people saw it. Even if Zhang Yuanzhong wanted to explain, he didn't know how to do it.

Miss Zhang's name is Zhang Shuyi, and she is the candidate for queen that the Zhang family has painstakingly cultivated.

At the beginning, they did have the idea of ​​forming an alliance with the Second Prince, so they would often let Zhang Shuyi contact the Second Prince.

For a long time, Zhang Shuyi has had some good feelings towards the second prince. Apart from anything else, the Chu family members all look good.

Later, when Zhang Shuyi learned that her aunt had given birth to a son, she realized that there was no hope for her to marry the second prince, and if she supported her aunt's son to ascend to the throne, there would definitely be no place for her.

So even if the Zhang family gradually distanced themselves from the second prince, the two of them were still secretly connected with Zhang Shuyi.

The second prince wanted the power of the Zhang family, and Zhang Shuyi wanted to become the queen.

With He Xiangdi's instigation yesterday, Zhang Shuyi felt that this was a good opportunity and wanted to go to the Second Prince's house to comfort him.

What was unexpected was that the second prince would actually drug the couple, making the relationship a fait accompli. This made Zhang Shuyi very frightened, no matter how Zhang Yuanzhong asked her.

She insisted that it was the Second Prince who sent someone to pick her up. Zhang Yuanzhong was so angry that he lost the ability to distinguish the facts. He blindly believed his daughter and thought that the Second Prince was afraid of losing their Zhang family and had resorted to this desperate measure.

But at this point, there was nothing he could do but suppress the matter for the time being.

The second prince, who was still under house arrest, was even more confused. When Zhang Shuyi came yesterday, he thought that the Zhang family had figured it out and was using Zhang Shuyi to appease him.

After a few drinks, he lost his composure. The next morning, seeing the mess on the bed, the second prince had no choice but to have Zhang Shuyi sent back quietly.

He Xiangdi continued to stay in the yard, looking at the panicked Zhang family with a smug look on his face. However, this was not enough. The Zhang family had to suffer even more in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.

The news that the second prince was having an affair with the unmarried daughter of the Minister of Rites spread throughout the capital. The emperor was furious and summoned the second prince and Zhang Yuanzhong to the imperial study to interrogate them.

Zhang Yuanzhong's face turned pale, and the second prince didn't even dare to look up at the emperor.

They didn't even dare to dodge the memorials that the emperor threw at them.

"Well done, you guys are really great..." The emperor pointed at the two of them and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Eunuch Dexi quickly stepped forward to support the emperor and said urgently, "Your Majesty, calm down. The Holy Body is the most important..."

The emperor waved his hand to throw Eunuch Dexi aside and picked up a paperweight to hit the second prince on the head. This hit was really hard and blood immediately gushed out of the second prince's forehead.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I know I was wrong!" The second prince knelt on the ground, blood flowing from his forehead to the floor.

Eunuch Dexi almost screamed when he saw the blood: "Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician!"

The emperor staggered back two steps and sat down on his chair. He held his throbbing forehead and shouted, "You two, get out of here now! Get out!"

Zhang Yuanzhong stood up tremblingly and helped the second prince out of the imperial study. The emperor was in a bad mood now, so they went out to treat the second prince's wound first.

Zhang Yuanzhong has now calmed down. He knows that from the time the incident happened until now, especially when he saw the look on the Second Prince's face, he knew that the Second Prince might not be aware of the situation either.

After all, the second prince is still a prince, and he would not do such a brainless thing.

If it wasn't the Second Prince, there was only one other candidate. Zhang Yuanzhong tightened his grip on the Second Prince's arm and said to him with a cold face, "Second Prince, who do you think did this?"
