Concubine Lan and all the members of the Fang family were thrown into prison. The eldest prince was extremely anxious and went to the palace to ask for an audience at night without caring about his injuries.
When the emperor showed up, he knelt outside the palace for a long time and refused to get up.
Although it was a summer night and the night wind was no longer cold, the emperor's indifference still made the eldest prince's hatred grow stronger.
The eldest prince was not the emperor's first child.
Soon after the Queen became the Crown Princess, she became pregnant, but she was unable to keep the baby. The same was true for another concubine.
Therefore, after the eldest prince was born, the emperor protected him very well and took great care of him.
It can be said that he was the emperor's most beloved child.
Fortunately, this happened after the third prince was born.
The emperor gave all his love to this frail child.
Even when the imperial physician concluded that he would not live past the age of twenty, he still wanted to pass the throne to him.
The gradual cold treatment over the past ten years made the eldest prince feel hatred.
After learning that he was a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty, he was given a mission by the Fang family, and he was determined to get that position.
At dawn, the eldest prince collapsed. The emperor ordered his men to send him back to the prince's palace and put him under house arrest.
"Your Majesty, have you made up your mind?"
On the long palace road, two middle-aged men walked with their hands behind their backs.
One of them looked a little depressed from behind.
"I've thought it through." The emperor sighed softly, "No wonder I always felt that the boss's character was too cold. It turns out he inherited the cold-bloodedness of the previous dynasty."
"Uh..." Rong Baichuan had a strange expression on his face, "You can't say that..."
"Your family is actually quite cold-blooded. Have you forgotten why you want to be the crown prince?"
Back then, when the emperor was still a scoundrel...
The children of officials in Kyoto City were often bullied by him and Rong Baichuan.
They are the biggest cancer in Kyoto City, and their status is also the most noble, so everyone can only swallow their anger.
The late emperor initially gave up on this son, but the other sons were all useless and no one was willing to inherit the throne.
So, the late emperor took a ruthless approach and instigated the court officials to impeach Rong Baichuan, which led to his arrest and imprisonment, where he almost died.
For the sake of his good brother, the emperor reluctantly became the crown prince.
The late emperor had sinister intentions for the sake of his son's future.
It was also because Rong Baichuan almost died in prison that time that the late emperor felt guilty, so he indulged him in every way afterwards.
If you want to be the crown prince, then yes.
If you want to cancel the engagement, cancel it, cancel it.
If you want your daughter-in-law, give it to me.
The emperor glared at Rong Baichuan, his face filled with speechlessness.
He did not take advantage of that incident to gain any benefits from the late emperor.
"The Fang family has been arrested, and some people may be getting restless. Instead of planning to protect me, you have the time to dwell on the past."
"Don't worry, I'll do the work, you can trust me, I've already prepared everything." Rong Baichuan patted his chest and assured.
…
The rain continued and the situation in Kyoto was turbulent.
Some people retreated to the rear and tried to hide, while others showed their strengths and made a big splash.
"Madam, the Zhang family, the Minister of Rites, has sent an invitation, inviting you to attend a flower-viewing banquet." Yan Zhu picked out an invitation from the ones that were sent recently.
There is an unmarried top scholar in the family, and he is always being remembered by others.
In the past two months, Qin Nanjing has rejected many posts.
"Zhang family?" Qin Nanjing looked at Rong Baichuan, "The Minister of Rites doesn't seem to have a close relationship with you."
"No contact." Rong Baichuan said: "He is on good terms with the Fang family."
"Have they taken any action?" Qin Nanjing asked.
Rong Baichuan nodded, "The eldest prince has recovered."
"What do you need me to do?"
"No, everything is arranged. We are just waiting for them to take the bait."
Seeing his relaxed expression, Qin Nanjing felt relieved and accepted the invitation from the Zhang family.
