Chapter 143: Guawang House, Here I Come
Compared to the fact that the Third Prince was handed over to the Queen for upbringing.
The news that Concubine De was banished to the cold palace did not cause that much of a stir.
When most of the court officials heard the news, they just had a feeling of "as expected".
Only the Prime Minister of the Capital Prefecture was completely dumbfounded.
No one could accept it. A few hours ago, the lady confidently brought good news from the palace and asked him to wait patiently. However, a few hours later, he got such a terrible result.
The chancellor of the capital city angrily found his wife, threw his official hat and said, "Tell me, what did your daughter do to make His Majesty so intolerant of her?"
The wife of the chancellor was also panicked: "How could she be sent to the cold palace? My daughter clearly did nothing wrong. She only told me that she would find a chance to reminisce and apologize to His Majesty."
"Why would His Majesty suddenly imprison her in the cold palace when she did nothing?!" The chancellor of the capital pointed at his wife, "Did something go wrong with the third prince? How come the third prince is a descendant of a noble family? Is Concubine De too partial? Will His Majesty be angry when he sees this?"
The wife of the chancellor was not sure either, so she just said, "Then I'll go to the palace and ask..."
The chancellor said coldly, "What palace are you entering? The cold palace?"
The prime minister's wife choked and burst into tears.
The chancellor of the capital city said, "I will find a way."
After saying this, the chancellor of the capital city government mobilized the connections he had built up over the years to look for a way out.
The first person he approached was the Third Prince, but the Third Prince refused to see him and only told someone to convey two words to him: "Those who do too much evil will eventually die." "I won't let her die of hunger."
The chancellor of the capital city felt his head buzzing after reading it. What on earth did his daughter do? She hurt the Third Prince so much that even her own mother didn't want to save her.
Since he couldn't get through to the Third Prince, he had no choice but to go to the Fifth Prince.
The Fifth Prince was also very anxious, and actively sent people to pass messages to him, but it was useless. The Fifth Prince was too young to find the key points, and before they had even talked for a few words he asked the Prime Minister to question the Third Prince why he didn't care about his mother and was unfilial.
The Chief Minister of the Capital Prefecture was completely speechless and could only give up looking for the naughty kid. After that, the Chief Minister of the Capital Prefecture tried many other ways, but either it was useless to help or they were not willing to help at all.
Finally, the chancellor of the capital city had no other choice but to find the Third Prince.
At this time, there was only half a day left before the arrival of the young national teacher.
The Third Prince, who had just finished breakfast, did not want to pay attention to the Prime Minister, but heard the housekeeper say with embarrassment: "Prince, the Prime Minister said that if you do not see him, he will have to stay outside the gate."
The Third Prince looked at me with disdain: "Threat me?" I have no power or influence, I'm not afraid of anything.
The manager said politely, "No. He just said that from now on, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating will be done at the door." It was a shame to put it badly.
The Third Prince: ...
He pinched his brows painfully and whispered, "The young imperial teacher is coming to make trouble, and the chancellor is joining in the fun, then..." He still couldn't utter the harsh words.
The Third Prince took a deep breath and said, "He who knows the current situation is a wise man. Let's see what he is up to. Please invite him in."
The steward immediately responded and left.
It is summer now, and no matter how cool your clothes are, you will still feel sticky and hot when the wind blows.
The Third Prince looked at the servitor who came in humbly and said, "Sir, I am just an idle prince. You don't expect me to have a say in front of the emperor, do you?"
The chancellor hurriedly said, "Your Highness underestimates yourself. You once assisted the late emperor in governing the country. This..."
A flash of embarrassment flashed across the Third Prince's face, and he interrupted the other party impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense and get to the point."
The chancellor said, "I hope the prince can stay with me for a few days."
The Third Prince shook his head: "No."
The chancellor said, "Your Majesty, I just want to find an opportunity to befriend the young imperial teacher and ask for mercy. I have been exposed several times before, and it won't get any worse. Why not give it a try?"
"Who cares if you expose the scandal or not!" The Third Prince glanced at him with disdain, "Do you understand the principle of keeping your family's shame private? Come, have some tea."
The chancellor knew at a glance that this was a ceremony to serve tea to the guests, and he wanted to fight back, but the Third Prince was determined.
Finally, the chancellor only said one sentence: "My Lord, I understand your painstaking efforts, and I hope you can understand my humble servant. Farewell."
The Third Prince narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh. Is he threatening me? I haven't been to court for a long time. How about we go and report him?"
But when he thought of the emperor sitting on the throne, the third prince felt a chill on the back of his neck. "Forget it. Let him be proud for once. I am generous. Besides, nothing is more important than the little imperial teacher coming here."
The Third Prince turned back to the mansion and paused. He did not forget to instruct the steward: "Keep an eye on the door. If the Minister of the Mansion dares to come again, take him away directly."
The steward responded immediately.
Three hours later, it was the afternoon.
The Third Prince was finishing his makeup while he said to the steward, "The chancellor is not here yet, right?"
The steward said, "Don't worry, my lord. He didn't come."
The Third Prince nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered all the men and women whose appearance was not formal enough to go to the side courtyard. He led a group of solemn wives, concubines, and children to stand in the front hall. Finally, he ordered the servants to slowly open the door and prepare for the ceremony to warmly welcome the little country's luck.
As soon as he opened the door, the Third Prince froze.
The chancellor was definitely not outside.
but……
Prime Minister Li, Prime Minister Wang, the Minister of Punishments, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Works… most of the civil and military officials in the court were here.
These colleagues have no martial ethics!
Once this news breaks, the whole world will know about this family scandal!
