Chapter 273 It’s amazing, right?
Inside the carriage.
"You mean, the Crown Princess not only called me, but also called several other ladies to the palace?" Shen Heng asked in surprise.
Xie Jian nodded. "The Crown Princess thought the Emperor was going to depose the Crown Prince and appoint the Fourth Prince as Crown Prince, so she summoned the wives of the ministers who had appeared before the Emperor today into the palace and told them the news. If anyone dared to support the Fourth Prince, their wives would be in danger."
Chen Heng understood why the adults' faces had changed when they saw the Crown Princess. "The Crown Princess is risking everything." A woman who dared to do such a thing must have been forced into it. "Could it be that these adults all support the Fourth Prince?"
"The Fourth Prince has been in frequent contact with ministers recently, and often visits the homes of these gentlemen. The Crown Princess has always stayed in the deep palace, so it is normal for her to panic. But she is interfering in state affairs like this. If the gentlemen really make a fuss about it, her position as Crown Princess will be gone." Xie Jian said coldly.
If the Crown Prince could really rule the world, I wonder if they would report the Crown Princess.
"Then why not let me be with the other ladies?" Shen Heng was surprised.
"Now that Minister Qin has lost his power, I'm in charge of his affairs," Xie Jian said. "You're different from them. I've had someone tell the Crown Princess that the Crown Prince will be back in two weeks. If she's truly capable, she should find a way to cause trouble for the Fourth Prince instead of resorting to these petty tactics."
It turned out to be like this. It seemed that the situation of the succession struggle was even more serious than she had heard. "Can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really come back within half a month?"
Xie Jian hummed lightly, "The Emperor appointed the Crown Prince as the heir simply because he was born to the Empress. But he prefers the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince is very similar to the deceased First Prince. The Emperor has always wanted to change the heir. These days, everything the Fourth Prince does has won the Emperor's favor."
This was taking advantage of the Crown Prince's indifference to try to please the Emperor: "By the way, I met the Empress." Shen Heng told about meeting the Empress: "The Empress gave people a very strange feeling."
"The Empress has been mad since nine o'clock in the morning," Xie Jian said calmly. "Occasionally, when she's lucid, she'll see me, your wife, to maintain the Empress' dignity. She's only lucid two or three times a day."
Crazy? Chen Heng was slightly stunned. Nine seconds ago, that was when the Sixth Princess drank the poisoned wine.
"Or, after the eldest prince got into trouble, the Empress went crazy and didn't want to wake up again." Xie Jian and his men knew a lot about what was going on in the palace. He only found out about the Empress' affairs a few months ago.
Minister Qin treated him as his own and told him many things.
Don't want to wake up again? Shen Heng thought about what the queen said at that time. These people have done a lot of stupid things.
"Aheng, are you hiding something from me?" Xie Jian asked.
"No."
"When did you meet the Queen?"
Shen Heng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought, yes, she had never seen the Queen at all, uh.
"Hmm?" Xie Jian raised his eyebrows. "Do you remember going to the paddock?"
Chen Heng: "..." Guessed it right away? Seeing Xie Jian looking at her coldly, she got angry.
She didn't want to lie to him, so she nodded: "Yeah. I suddenly remembered it."
"when?"
"Just a few days ago."
"Going?"
