"Mother, what happened? Why did grandpa collaborate with the enemy and sell out the country?" The third prince, who was still recuperating from his injuries, also heard the little eunuch's report.
The moment he heard it, the Third Prince was stunned, his brain was stuck and he couldn't think straight.
The Third Prince couldn't believe that his grandfather would do such a thing as treason! What good would this do for them?
Is it to help him fight for the throne?
But my father is still young and he is still so young, is it necessary?
But no matter what, the Third Prince couldn't understand why his grandfather would collaborate with the enemy and sell out the country, because there was no need!
However, they themselves know about this kind of thing, but others don’t, so they think it is really possible.
In fact, not many people believed that Concubine Liang had done that. After all, Concubine Liang was in favor. Although she had no son, Emperor Donglin was not without a son. As long as she continued to be in favor for a period of time, she would surely become pregnant. How could she do such a thing?
Duke Lu wanted to help his daughter ascend to a higher position and increase the third prince's chances of ascending to that position.
In the harem, there are many cases where mothers are honored because of their sons, and there are also cases where sons are honored because of their mothers.
...
...
Especially in order to fight for the throne, no one would approach a prince whose mother is of low status.
Therefore, in order to improve the status of the Third Prince, improving the status of Concubine Shu became a top priority, and Concubine Liang became their target.
This has led to more people now thinking that Duke Lu and the Kingdom of Beizhao are cooperating in order to help the Third Prince increase his power and increase his chances of obtaining the throne.
The young eunuch kowtowed on the ground, "Madam Concubine Shu, Duke Lu must not be in any danger!"
Concubine Shu slapped the armrest and said firmly and angrily, "My father would never be a traitor to the country!"
"Yes, Grandpa would never do such a thing! Nothing can happen to Grandpa either!"
Although the third prince is still young, he also knows that if his grandfather is gone, he will lose a support.
Duke Lu is not Concubine Liang’s father An Rong, who is just a minister. Duke Lu is a hereditary duke!
Concubine Shu was also restless, "I will go see your father right away!"
The only person who can solve this matter is Emperor Donglin. Now only if Emperor Donglin speaks can Duke Lu's Mansion escape the disaster.
However, what Concubine Shu didn’t know was that the person who framed them this time was the one she asked for help, Emperor Donglin!
It is destined to fail this time!
"Mother!"
The third prince wanted to call Concubine Shu and said that he wanted to go too. He also wanted to plead for his grandfather!
Although still young, the Third Prince knew very well that without Duke Lu, he would no longer have the confidence to bully Xiao Ruoyi, let alone the power to seize that position.
But Concubine Shu had already left, and it was too late for him to call for help.
"Hurry up... hurry up and take this prince out with you! This prince wants to see his father!"
The Third Prince's lackeys looked at each other. They were a little reluctant to go, but thinking of the Third Prince's usual arrogant and torturous methods, they could only obey the Third Prince's orders obediently.
“Ahhh… it hurts! Useless piece of trash, be careful!”
Even though he was in pain, the Third Prince still asked his men to take him to follow Concubine Shu's footsteps to find Emperor Donglin.
At the same time, outside the palace was the General’s Mansion.
Tan Xiaofeng hurried back home and immediately told his family what happened at Duke Lu’s Mansion, which left the Tan family stunned.
I didn't expect Duke Lu to fall so quickly? I thought he would hold out for a while, or escape without evidence!
Mrs. Tan asked curiously, "What's the name of that little girl?"
"Call Yiyi!"
General Tan exclaimed in surprise, "What! Little Princess?"
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Tan Xiaofeng looked at General Tan in confusion.
The eldest daughter, Tan Sihan, asked in surprise and curiosity, "What little princess? Could it be that the person my second brother met was the little princess?"
Tan Xiaofeng also widened his eyes in surprise, "What? That little girl is the little princess who helps her father?"
"Daddy, is it the little princess?" The third daughter, Tan Sixuan, also turned around and asked General Tan expectantly.
"How should I know?" General Tan was also a little anxious, and quickly danced to describe Xiao Ruoyi's appearance, "Second brother, is the one you see a chubby little girl with a chubby face and a very cute smile?"
It's a pity that this rough guy only thought that Xiao Ruoyi was chubby and very cute, and he couldn't find any good words to describe her.
Everyone in the Tan family: "..." Very good, don't describe it, those who don't know would think it's a sow!
However, Tan Sihan coughed and asked Tan Xiaofeng, "Do you feel that you are somewhat similar to the princes?"
Although Tan Xiaofeng was not selected to enter the palace to be the prince's companion, but as the son of the great general, he had met all the princes, except the babies who were still drinking milk.
After his elder sister's reminder, Tan Xiaofeng nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes, they are somewhat similar to the princes!"
Madam Tan made the final conclusion, "That's it. The emperor has only one little princess so far, and she is only three and a half years old. So she must be the little princess born to Concubine Liang!"
"Yes, Concubine Liang was framed by Duke Lu and his daughter. Duke Lu is in trouble this time, and the little princess will definitely go to join in the fun and watch the show!"
Hearing General Tan say this, Tan Sixuan excitedly held her hands to her chest, "The little princess who has a clear distinction between love and hate is so cute! I really envy my second brother for being able to get to know the little princess. If I had known earlier, I would have gone too!"
"Hehe!" Tan Xiaofeng laughed innocently and scratched the back of his head. "I didn't expect this! Who would have thought that the emperor would be so confident in letting the little princess leave the palace, and even go to watch the fun!"
Everyone in the Tan family nodded in agreement.
I've always heard that the emperor dotes on the little princess, and I thought he would protect her very well and would not let her leave the palace.
But now, not only did he let the little princess out of the palace to watch the show, he also sent his own secret guards to protect her, which shows how favored she is!
General Tan patted Tan Xiaofeng on the shoulder and said, "When you see the little princess in the future, you must protect her well!"
Tan Xiaofeng patted his chest and promised, "Dad, don't worry! Just because the little princess spoke for you at the morning court, I will protect the little princess with my life! If the little princess tells me to go east, I will definitely not go west!"
No one expected that in the future Tan Xiaofeng would become Xiao Ruoyi's most loyal subordinate and would overcome all difficulties for Xiao Ruoyi.
But this is all a matter of the future, let’s talk about it separately.
Concubine Shu hurried to ask for an audience with Emperor Donglin, but couldn't find him. When she heard that he was in the Queen's Fengyi Palace, she hurried to Fengyi Palace.
At this time, Emperor Donglin was visiting the Queen's son, the Ninth Prince, in the Queen's Fengyi Palace. The little prince was chubby and very cute.
As for this son, Emperor Donglin just patted his head and gave him some rewards, nothing else.
