"I just suddenly thought of the three of them. There weren't many princes in the capital, and now that Prince Gong is dead, Prince Ning is not far from death either.
The only princes in the capital are Prince An and our Prince Kang’s Mansion.
I wonder if the Emperor will allow those three princes to return to the capital."
Ye Peizhu said this while playing with her daughter.
“Princess, the three princes have their own fiefdoms.
If there is nothing important, the emperor should not let the princes return to the capital, so they should stay.
Princess, are you worried that those three princes will plot against our prince just like Prince Gong and Prince Ning did?"
Qiuyun is Ye Peizhu's confidante and knows her to some extent.
She thought about it and this was the only reason she could think of.
Ye Peizhu glanced at Qiu Yun with relief, "You really understand me. I am indeed worried about this."
"Princess, the fiefs of the three princes are very far away from the capital. Even if they wanted to plot against the princes, they would be unable to do so.
Besides, the emperor hasn't said he wants to recall the three princes, so you don't have to worry so much, Princess.
"At worst, we can deal with it as it comes. If we start worrying about things before they happen, it's not good for our health."
Qiuyun persuaded.
Ye Peizhu nodded. "You're right. Let's wait and see. We have no intention of provoking others, but if others want to provoke us, we will have to take action."
Sitting on the blanket, Song Jiujiu raised his chubby little face to look at his mother, and then at Qiuyun.
[Mother has many things to worry about, but she should be worried.
Because Prince Duan, Prince Jing, and Prince Li were indeed people with ambitions for the throne.
The news that Daddy was favored by the old emperor spread like wildfire outside the capital.
The only thing missing is to say directly that the old emperor has already decided to let Dad be the next emperor!
I remember that in my previous life, after our entire family was executed, Prince Li forced the emperor to abdicate and rebel. Maybe he felt that the biggest threat had been eliminated.
As a result, he forced the emperor to rebel, but his rebellion was in vain. He rushed into the palace and became a turtle in a jar, and was captured by the royal guards.
It was a fact that Prince Li rebelled, and naturally he was executed by the old emperor.
As for Prince Duan and Prince Jing, they were also restless people. They had already plotted against us before our entire family was executed.
When I think about my past life now, I feel so aggrieved. We died so unjustly!
Sigh, I don’t want to think about it anymore, I’m so tired. 】
Song Jiujiu muttered to herself, sighed softly, and lay on the blanket, hugging the little tiger.
Ye Peizhu listened to her daughter's thoughts with a serious expression.
It seems that in order to save their lives, they have no choice but to take that path.
In the evening, after Prince Kang came back, Ye Peizhu told him what her daughter was thinking.
After hearing this, King Kang sat in the yard and pondered for half the night.
.......
The old emperor had announced Prince Ning's actions to the world through an imperial edict.
As King Kang had said, Bolefang was confiscated and became the property of the royal family.
As for the houses and land occupied by Bolefang, the old emperor gave the people a sum of money as if he had bought them from them.
The old emperor sent officials to deal with the Bolefang in Ancheng, which was in collusion with the government. He confiscated the Bolefang in Ancheng, cleaned up the officials who were partial, and rescued all the children who were abducted and hypnotized.
Because of this incident, the old emperor really gained a lot of favor in the hearts of the people of Ancheng.
However, in the outer city of the capital, King Kang's reputation was much better than that of the old emperor.
The people all knew that King Kang was plotted against by King Ning, and that King Kang played a big role in exposing King Ning's conspiracy.
In a blink of an eye, the day came when Prince Ning was beheaded, but Prince Kang did not join in the fun.
He just heard from Prince An who was at the scene that most of the people in the outer city went to watch. Before Prince Ning was beheaded, he was hit all over by rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs. It was really satisfying to watch!
After Prince Ning was beheaded, his son Song Zhu, his legitimate daughter Song Nuan'er, and his concubine's daughter Song Jiao'er were demoted to commoners and were not allowed to enter the capital again.
This was the result of the Queen's plea.
At first, the old emperor planned to exile Prince Ning's three children to the border.
When the queen learned about it, she knelt in front of the imperial study for a whole night and almost fainted.
The old emperor then changed the imperial edict and demoted the three of them to commoners.
Even if you become a commoner, at least you still have a life.
But if you are exiled to the frontier, you might lose your life along the way.
The queen knew this was the best outcome.
The queen was heartbroken that her only son had died, and she also knew that Prince Kang was closely related to her son's death.
But fortunately, she is a sensible person, and her relationship with her son, Prince Ning, is actually not as good as her relationship with her grandson, Song Zhu.
She did not blame Prince Kang for Prince Ning's death, nor did she harbor any hatred towards him.
But after this incident, the relationship between the Queen and the Royal Concubine, the biological mother of Prince Kang, was completely broken.
The superficial harmony cannot be maintained.
On the second day after Prince Ning was beheaded, Prince Kang vaguely heard that Chen Chan'er had committed suicide by biting her tongue.
When he heard the news, his heart was pounding.
The amazing thing about Chen Chan'er, the spy, is that she has been lurking beside Prince Ning for so many years without anyone discovering her identity.
If he hadn't cheated by relying on the voice of his reborn daughter, he would have known Chen Chan'er's true identity.
I'm afraid that the secret guards alone will not be able to find out Chen Chan'er's identity, and he won't even be able to overthrow King Ning this time.
But why did the cunning spy Chen Chan'er actually commit suicide by biting her tongue?
Is there really no problem?
In the evening, after returning home, Prince Kang heard the report from the secret guard, which confirmed his worries.
"Your Majesty, Princess, I've noticed someone is asking about Miss Yu's situation."
The secret guard's words made Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu frown.
If this happened when everything was calm before, they might not think there was anything wrong with it.
It's normal for curious people to ask about Yu Lingying, a grown-up, living in their house.
It just so happened that they were worried about not being able to investigate Yu Lingying's background.
But this incident happened right after Prince Ning was beheaded and Chen Chan'er bit her tongue to commit suicide, which is quite intriguing.
"Have you discovered who is asking?"
King Kang asked.
The secret guard hesitated and said, "I think they are from the royal family. They are obviously more disciplined and organized, unlike the secret guards in ordinary palaces.
I guess he might be the emperor's secret guard.
Besides asking about Miss Yu's situation, the other party is also trying to understand the relationship between you, Your Highness, and Miss Yu. It doesn't seem like they are just interested in it."
Ye Peizhu's face turned a little unhappy. "Miss Yu has been living in our house for a while. If it's really the emperor who sent someone to inquire about it..."
