Chapter 583
The emperor's thoughts were clear not only to his ministers, but also to the crown prince.
But the crown prince also knew that all he could do now was to lie low quietly.
The more they made a fuss, the more annoyed the emperor became.
The Crown Princess was unaware of what had happened outside. She noticed that the Crown Prince hadn't left the house for several days, so she went up to inquire.
“There’s nothing of great importance going on in court lately,” the Crown Prince said softly. “I’ll stay in the Eastern Palace and keep you company.”
Upon hearing this, the Crown Princess's eyes crinkled with laughter: "Why don't we let Wanwan come over? I haven't seen her in so long."
Upon hearing her mention Yun Wan, the Crown Prince recalled the servant's report.
Yun Wan sent someone to assassinate Yun Xi, but the assassination attempt failed. The bodyguard's head was cut off and sent to Yun Wan. Yun Wan was so frightened that she developed a high fever, which only subsided yesterday.
When the Crown Prince first learned that Yun Wan was ill, he felt sorry for her.
However, after what happened at the Yunnan Prince's Mansion, the Crown Prince's feelings became somewhat complicated.
“Wanwan is ill and it’s inconvenient for her to come to the palace,” the Crown Prince said. “Don’t worry, it’s not a serious illness. I’ve already sent someone to see her.”
Even though she knew Yun Wan was alright, the Crown Princess's face still turned pale: "How could this happen? How could she have gotten sick when she was perfectly fine?"
“It’s understandable for young people to be tempted by coolness and avoid heat,” the Crown Prince said. “Don’t worry too much. Once she’s better in a couple of days, we’ll let her enter the palace.”
The Crown Prince quickly appeased the Crown Princess with a few words and then accompanied her back to rest.
——
The Prince's Palace in Yunnan.
Yunxi listened to the recent changes in the court with little interest.
She was never interested in such things.
However, when they were at the Marquis's residence, Shen Rang would often mention these things, and now that they have come to the Prince of Yunnan's residence, he does the same thing.
Madam Chen couldn't help but raise her hand and poke Yunxi's forehead twice: "You child, you've really been too carefree before. Now we're in Luoyang, and matters of state are right before our eyes. We can't be like before!"
In the past, in Qingshui Village, the emperor was far away and the country was far from the capital. To put it bluntly, even if the emperor changed, it might not have affected them much. But things are different now.
If you are in the center of power and know nothing, you will only be torn apart by the turbulent currents.
They died without even knowing how they died.
Yunxi sighed and had no choice but to listen obediently.
"The Crown Prince is currently being neglected, but this is only temporary. If His Majesty cannot find a satisfactory prince, it is only a matter of time before the Crown Prince is reinstated."
After this incident, the Yunnan Prince's Mansion has completely stood on the opposite side of the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince's reinstatement will not bring them any benefit.
Everyone fell silent.
The day the Crown Prince was reinstated came earlier than anyone expected.
However, within two days, the eldest prince's disaster relief mission ran into trouble. Fortunately, the crown prince promptly provided a large sum of money in the name of the royal family, which stabilized the situation.
When the emperor heard that the money the crown prince used for disaster relief was obtained by selling items from the Eastern Palace, he was deeply moved.
He was right about him.
Although the crown prince had developed his methods, his kind heart remained unchanged.
Overjoyed, the emperor immediately filled the vacancy in the Eastern Palace and also rewarded the prince with a thousand taels of gold.
The crown prince accepted the vacant position but refused the reward.
This prompted the emperor to sigh again.
Where can you find such a good son?
Only the eldest prince showed resentment.
The disaster was not severe, and the relief funds were more than enough even after being skimmed off at each level. But unexpectedly, some people took the opportunity to cause trouble and incited the disaster victims to hand over all their money!
How is that possible?
When he refused, the group of disaster victims started smashing and looting.
The eldest prince would never believe it if you said there was no one instigating it behind the scenes!
