Chapter 560 Heartbreak
Imperial study.
The emperor is waiting for Xiao Huaijin.
I waited for a long time, but he didn't come.
The emperor, who usually had little patience, frowned.
The eunuch went in and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince said he would come to see you later..."
The emperor asked, "What is more important than coming to see me?"
The eunuch shook his head, "I don't know. Princess Qingning sent someone to look for the Crown Prince, so the Crown Prince went to the Jingbei Palace..."
The prince went to see Princess Qingning first instead of the emperor when the emperor summoned him. This was unbelievable for the eunuch.
The emperor's already frowned brows furrowed even more.
If Wan'er has any problems, why doesn't she go to her father, the emperor, but to her brother?
Is there anything that he, the emperor's father, cannot do?
The emperor is unhappy.
Looking at the emperor's jealous look, Eunuch An's cheeks were almost cramping.
But it's no wonder. In such a big capital, there are so many people who can work for Princess Qingning that even the emperor can't get a number.
Half an hour later, Xiao Huaijin came to the imperial study and was about to ask the emperor what he wanted to talk to him about, but the emperor spoke first, "What does Wan'er want to talk to you about?"
Xiao Huaijin was stunned for a moment before replying, "The second and third masters of the Jingbei Palace sent the old lady's coffin directly to the Jingbei Palace without the princess's permission and planned to hold the funeral there. This really angered my sister.
My sister thinks that since the funeral is being held from the Jingbei Prince's Mansion, there's no need to thank the Second and Third Masters for breaking the tiles and starting the coffin. Let me find out if they had any dirty tricks before being demoted..."
Xiao Huaijin reported every word to the emperor.
After hearing this, the emperor said, "Then what are you still doing here? Go and do it."
Xiao Huaijin, "..."
Xiao Huaijin walked away with a twitching mouth.
People say that compared to him, the princes and princesses in the palace look like they were picked up.
But compared to his sister, he also looked like he was picked up.
Wasn't he afraid that his father might need him urgently, so he came to ask about something? But his father complained that he was dawdling on his sister's behalf...
Looking at Xiao Huaijin's depressed expression, Eunuch An wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. Should he remind the emperor that he had just asked the crown prince for something...
However, the second and third branches of the Jingbei Palace, which had already separated, were so bold as to dare to provoke Princess Qingning.
They acted as if the emperor and the prince didn't exist.
Eunuch An has already lit candles for them in his heart.
The princess agreed to allow the old lady's funeral to be held in the palace mansion, and Manager Zhou set up a mourning hall. The second master and second wife, and the third master and third wife all returned to the palace to keep vigil for the old lady.
People came to pay their respects one after another.
You can deny face to the old lady, but you cannot deny face to the Jingbei Palace.
If the funeral is not done decently, it will bring shame to Prince Jingbei and Princess Jingbei, as well as to the Prince Jingbei and Princess Qingning.
However, the princess did not show up from beginning to end. Shen Wan was pregnant and was even more averse to funerals. When the concubine Chen was buried, she did not even go to the coffin to burn paper, let alone the old lady.
Those who came to pay their respects were all greeted by the second and third masters.
This went on for two days.
Yinchuan went to the front yard to take a look and came back with a face full of gloom, "The Crown Prince's Consort didn't go to the front yard to take a look. The Second Master and the Second Madam treat the palace as if it were their own!"
Shen Wan knew they did it on purpose.
Blaming their misfortune on her and Xie Jingyu, and giving them a chance to annoy her and the princess, would be extremely infuriating.
Seeing Chen Wan sipping the tea, Yin Chuan asked, "Isn't the Crown Prince's Consort angry?"
Shanhu said, "The Crown Prince's Consort is pregnant, and it's not worth it for these young masters to be angry about this."
Yinchuan couldn't help wanting to drive those people out of Prince Jingbei's Mansion, but the princess could only tolerate them. How could she, a maid, dare to do anything wrong?
More and more people came to pay their respects. The second and third masters chatted with the ministers. For the sake of the Jingbei Palace's face, even if they were disgusted in their hearts, they had to keep a straight face.
The second master took the opportunity to win over a few ministers, hoping that they could help speak well of him in front of the emperor, but those ministers were speechless.
I have never seen such stupid people. Don’t they know that the emperor’s favorite is Princess Qingning? They offended Princess Qingning to death and still want to return to the court. Who is so stupid as to dare to do them this favor? They think their career is too smooth and want to resign as soon as possible and return home to cool off.
It's better to stay away from such stupid people.
Before the second master finished speaking, those ministers hurried away, making the excuse that they had things to do in the government office, for fear of being affected by the stupidity of the second and third masters.
The second and third masters were so angry that a servant came running in. "Master, this is bad! Something terrible has happened!"
The second master was furious and cursed, "What happened?!"
The servant said, "The Left Censor-in-Chief found evidence of corruption during your time in office. The Emperor ordered your property to be confiscated and exiled to the border!"
Second Master, “……!!!”
Third Master, “……!!!”
There were also the second and third wives who were kneeling on the ground burning paper impatiently, their faces all pale.
I thought that by taking advantage of the old lady's return to the palace for the funeral, I could let all the civil and military officials in the court know that the second and third wives and the prince are brothers by blood. Everyone is connected, and I hope that they will help the second and third masters return to the court for the sake of the prince.
As a result, he was not reinstated, and the emperor confiscated his property and exiled him.
He had been kneeling and burning paper money for two days and was almost exhausted. How could he bear such a blow? He fainted.
Should!
Manager Zhou felt very happy.
A group of people with short memories.
When the Crown Prince's Consort was just the Crown Prince's Consort, they never got any advantage from her. Now that she has become the Emperor's favorite princess, can they control her at will?
He was originally demoted, but at least he had enough food and drink for the rest of his life thanks to the inheritance he received from the palace. Yet he chose to commit suicide. Now that his property has been confiscated and he has been exiled, he must be satisfied at last.
The emperor not only confiscated the property of the second and third wives and exiled them, but also ordered them to leave immediately. People from the government office were ordered to come directly to the Jingbei Palace to escort them.
The Second and Third Masters refused to leave, and Mother Zhao arrived. "They say death is a premonition, and it's true. The old lady knew that the Second and Third Masters wouldn't be able to handle her funeral and bury her, so she insisted on returning to the palace for the funeral.
"Second Master, Third Master, go to the border without worry. With Fourth Master here, the funeral of the old lady will be held with dignity and splendor."
Killing someone and destroying their heart.
Now not only the second and third wives, but also the second and third masters are about to faint from anger.
The second and third masters were escorted out of the Jingbei Palace, while the second and third wives were carried out unconscious.
The servants in the palace fully felt the methods used by their prince's wife.
The old lady wanted to be honored after her death, so the Crown Prince's wife simply refused to allow her own children and grandchildren to attend her funeral.
He kept his sons alive and fostered their ambitions to covet the royal title.
It's really unimaginable that he would cheat his descendants even after his death.
The two sons had their property confiscated and were exiled before the funeral. Funeral and glory have nothing to do with each other. The old lady in the coffin must have been so angry that she would come back to life.
