The emperor quickly issued an edict to confer the title of Prince Zhongjing on the second prince.
As soon as the decree of enthronement was issued, everyone understood that the Second Prince had no hope!
That night, the lights in the study rooms of the Yan family and many other families were on all night.
At the Second Prince's residence—or rather, at Prince Zhongjing's residence—the atmosphere was also depressing and heavy.
For other princes, being crowned a prince was a great joyous event. They would give rewards to servants who knelt and kowtowed to congratulate them, and would hold a banquet to celebrate with relatives and friends for three days and three nights.
But for the second prince, this was tantamount to sentencing him to death!
He was a little confused, and also had a strange feeling of "this day has finally come".
After these two feelings, what surged into my heart was boundless and surging anger!
"Damn it! Damn it! This is outrageous!"
"They have tricked me! They are hypocrites, hypocrites! They are tricking me!"
"Why would Father treat me like this? Why!"
“.”
The Second Prince had smashed things in anger more than once, but never as violently as this time. He had vented his anger by smashing the study to the point where there was barely room to step.
Tired of smashing things, the second prince didn't care about anything. He just kicked away the debris to make a clean place to sit down and ordered someone to bring some wine.
A man was leaning against the wall, drinking from a jar.
As he drank, he finally hugged the jar of wine and burst into tears. While crying, he burst into laughter like crazy.
The Crown Prince, Zhao Xiang, and the Duke of Liguo's Mansion, he had never imagined that these people whom he had never taken seriously, who had never dared to confront him and who had always endured in silence, would actually plot against him, and succeed in their plot.
He was careless and was deceived by them!
If he had not thought much about it and did not care before, the Second Prince now did not need to think much and did not need any evidence. This result had already proved everything. He was tricked by them.
Otherwise, the emperor would not treat him like this.
Although he didn't know what they had done, they were definitely not as honest as they appeared!
The Second Prince never considered that he himself was the cause of all this. It was his own arrogance, domineering self-conceit, and narrow-minded personality and temper that others had merely made the Emperor see this more clearly.
There was no sign of joy in the Second Prince's mansion when he was conferred the title of Prince, nor was there any intention of holding a banquet to celebrate. That very night, the Second Prince even went crazy in his study. These things soon reached the ears of the Emperor in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
The emperor knew that he would be surprised and even disappointed, but he did not expect that he would not even put on a show of effort and would blatantly slap him, his father, in the face!
Could it be that the throne of Crown Prince was his by birthright? Could it be that his father, the Emperor, had wronged him by conferring the title of Prince?
The emperor was not only angry, but also subconsciously felt a bit disgusted. He ordered people to speed up the investigation into the matter of the old doctor Yu.
He suddenly lost interest in the Second Prince and Concubine Yan.
The Second Prince's affair made Concubine Yan a laughing stock in the palace.
The concubines who used to flatter and curry favor with her whenever they saw her now kept their distance from her. No one would go to Guanju Palace to chat and laugh with her anymore, and Guanju Palace became deserted.
Not only that, if they met her in the imperial garden or somewhere else, the concubines would either pretend not to see her and run away, or smile and gloat over her misfortune and say some sarcastic remarks that were indirect and malicious.
How could Concubine Yan have ever been so humiliated? She felt so irritated that she couldn't feel well for several days.
She couldn't help but feel sad. Even now, it was still like this. If the emperor found out about what happened to the old doctor Yu...
She didn't even dare to think about it!
Many of the palace's elders were taken away for questioning by the emperor's men, including those from Guanju Palace. The Imperial Medical Bureau was thoroughly investigated. All those implicated or indirectly involved in the incident, including the files left behind, including the family of the old imperial physician Yu, his residence, his farm, and his exiled and scattered clansmen, were contacted and thoroughly searched and questioned.
The emperor is clearly determined to get to the bottom of this matter.
When the emperor issued the order for these matters, he did not hide from anyone at all, and every step was announced clearly.
He just wants to force some people to expose themselves, and he wants to make some people unable to eat or sleep.
Facts have proved that the old ones are still the wisest. The emperor's move was too cruel and heartbreaking. Concubine Yan and the Yan family were panicked and worried all day long.
And the emperor's men have been watching.
He didn't want to believe it, but it seemed like he had to believe it.
The emperor's surprise and anger were self-evident.
Concubine Yan looked so thin and haggard that even the thick makeup on her face couldn't hide it.
She knew that she couldn't go on like this, she would die, and her son and her family would all be ruined!
Even if he managed to survive for a few more years, when the crown prince ascended to the throne, would he, the Duke of Liguo's Mansion, and Empress Zhou spare him? Would they let the Yan family and his son go?
The reason why Concubine Yan could enjoy the favor of the conceited, proud and suspicious emperor for many years and firmly occupy the unique position of the emperor's beloved was not only because of her beauty and gentleness, but the most important thing was that she could successfully guess the emperor's intentions.
Of all the women with such scheming minds, how many would be willing to live in mediocrity? How many would readily accept their fate?
The matter was urgent and she had no time to hesitate!
Otherwise, she might not even be able to enter the gate of the Qianqing Palace.
Concubine Yan sneered, and her beautiful and gentle eyes revealed a cold murderous intent.
Everyone will die eventually, so she would rather choose the one with no regrets and no regrets. Maybe if she tries hard, she can create a bright future?
The atmosphere in the Second Prince's Mansion was still gloomy and depressing. The Second Prince got drunk every day and didn't care about anything else.
When Marquis Cheng'en and his eldest son Yan Qi, who was unemployed at home and would most likely remain unemployed for the rest of his life, visited Prince Zhongjing's mansion, they saw the Second Prince looking so intoxicated and decadent. The father and son looked at each other and their hearts sank.
What is this?
Seeing him like this, I even wanted to forget it, give up, and let everyone do whatever they want!
In the end, I am unwilling to accept it.
After drinking the sobering soup, the second prince slept for half a day before he was barely awake.
Seeing his uncle and cousin, he scoffed and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing? Your Highness, disaster is imminent, and Your Highness is still dreaming!"
The Second Prince sneered: "So what?"
If he doesn't dream, does that mean the disaster that is supposed to happen won't happen?
Yan Qi had a cold face and told the emperor in detail about the thorough investigation of the old doctor Yu.
