Because Liu Fangcheng got along well with Lin Wuchen, he settled down in Lin's Trading Company.
Shen Zhixiu sent Su Qingyu back home, and in the evening he and Li Yunzhou entered the palace.
When Shen Zhixiu returned home again, Su Qingyu was already lying on the bed drowsy.
Although she was concerned about the two of them going to the palace today, she was not worried. This trip to the palace was just to prevent anyone from using today's incident to attack Li Yunzhou in the future.
Li Yunzhou didn't know his own life experience, so he had no problem being the emperor's nephew or the Prince of Ning.
But if I met Liu Fangcheng in private and knew these things but didn't tell him, that would be the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Su Qingyu stood up and went to greet him, "What's going on? What did the emperor say?"
While asking him, she helped him change into casual clothes.
Shen Zhixiu knew what she was thinking about, and said, "It's just as I expected. The emperor hasn't revoked his title of Prince Ning."
"The Emperor also said that he could go ahead and look for his biological parents. If he couldn't find them, there was no need to make the matter public, and he could still be the Emperor's nephew."
"The Emperor was very fond of him. When he learned he wasn't Princess Yongning's biological son, he sighed and seemed a little regretful. Later, he said that even if he had been raised by Princess Yongning for five or six years, it was still a great bond between them."
After helping him change his clothes, Su Qingyu wrung out a warm towel and handed it to him.
"That's fine too. I can find an opportunity someday and then announce my brother's background. That will be a natural outcome."
"Even though I've only been the emperor's nephew for a month, brother has the greatest backer in the world."
Shen Zhixiu wiped his face and helped Su Qingyu sit on the edge of the bed.
"Yunzhou is honest and upright. The emperor likes him, not just because of Princess Yongning."
Simple blood ties wouldn't make the emperor act like this.
During this period, Li Yunzhou had hinted, both overtly and covertly, that the Emperor had begun to harbor suspicions about Li Jingchuan and Princess Yongjia. Now, all that was missing was something that would cross the Emperor's line of taboo, and the Li family would crumble.
However, this kind of thing cannot be rushed. Only by taking it step by step can we achieve victory steadily.
So even if Lin Wuchen found evidence that the Li family abused Li Yunzhou, Li Yunzhou had no intention of revealing it now.
He likes to keep his troops in place, watch the opponent jump around, and then kill him with the final blow.
But he thought so, but the Li family didn't think so.
At this moment, in the inner courtyard of the Li family, in Princess Yongjia's study, Chen Ping stood by the window with his hands hanging down.
Princess Yongjia sat behind the desk, with a look of confusion in her eyes, and she was somewhat undecided.
He looked up and asked Chen Ping, "Is the news reliable? Did Liu Fangcheng really say that Li Yunzhou isn't Yongning's biological son? That he was picked up on the street?"
In fact, she had already guessed that the painter was Liu Fangcheng the last time the Loyalty Marquis brought the painting into the palace. She didn't know how much Liu Fangcheng knew about Yongning, so she was always worried and had many spies in the capital.
So as soon as Liu Fangcheng entered the city, her people followed him directly and heard these words.
She was startled, and then she couldn't stop thinking about a solution. The Li family had been in turmoil for a while. She had been thinking about how to get rid of this evil star.
She had previously considered the Emperor, and had thought of several ideas, but they were all fearful of being inappropriate. The Li family was now walking on the edge of a knife, and a single misstep could lead to the downfall of the entire clan.
So she took every step with extreme caution.
Right now... is a good time to kick Li Yunzhou out of the Li family.
If he used it well, he might even be able to make Li Yunzhou disliked by the emperor. If he was disliked by the emperor, he would never achieve anything in his life.
"Where did Li Yunzhou go after he learned the news? What was he doing?" Princess Yongjia asked in a deep voice.
Chen Ping replied: "He went to the Shen family and just came back from there not long ago. After coming back, he has been staying in his yard and has not left."
Princess Yongjia nodded and told the maidservants to prepare clothes for tomorrow as she was going to the palace.
She wanted to take this opportunity to drive Li Yunzhou out and ruin his reputation.
After thinking about it, she felt worried about Liu Fangcheng.
If she allowed him to tell the truth about their marriage in the capital, she would have a hard time explaining it to Li Jingchuan.
So the best way is to cut the weeds at their roots.
Hearing that Liu Fangcheng was staying at the Lin's Trading Company, Princess Yongjia became even less concerned and instructed Chen Ping, "Send someone to go there. Do it quickly and don't leave any traces."
She didn't even ask Chen Ping to go in person. For Princess Yongjia, a merchant's residence was not worth her trouble to arrange.
Chen Ping wanted to go in person, which would be safer, but when he remembered that Li Chaoyun was still waiting for him, he was reluctant to go out.
He answered yes and turned to go out to arrange for people.
Even though Li Yunzhou caused a big disturbance in the Li family, Princess Yongjia's power was still deeply rooted and she had many people available.
It was a simple matter for the Li family to get rid of a weak scholar.
Princess Yongjia didn't even bother to send Chen Ping back after the matter was completed. Afterwards, she went to see Li Jingchuan. Since Li Yunzhou was not a child of the Li family, she still had to discuss with Li Jingchuan how to deal with him.
The couple talked for about an hour.
The next morning, Princess Yongjia got up, put on her makeup according to her rank, and went to Ganyang Palace in her princess attire.
Li Yunzhou was also in the hall today to discuss the future strategy against the Tartars.
Hearing that Princess Yongjia had something to report, Li Yunzhou's expression became somewhat subtle. Was her arrival at this time a coincidence?
After Princess Yongjia entered the palace, she bowed deeply to Emperor Xuande, then knelt on the ground and said, "Brother Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
"Tell me." Emperor Xuande had a blank expression on his face. In fact, he was still thinking about what Li Yunzhou said yesterday.
Princess Yongjia said in a deep voice, "Brother Emperor, I apologize first. I have misunderstood Li Yunzhou's background."
Emperor Xuande: "Oh? What happened? Please tell me in detail."
Princess Yongjia replied, "I can now confirm that Li Yunzhou is not Sister Yongning's child."
"Royal brother, do you still remember the painter named Liu in the palace back then? His son Liu Fangcheng was a close friend of Sister Yongning. It was Liu Fangcheng who said it himself that Li Yunzhou was not Sister Yongning's biological son."
"Moreover, Li Yunzhou already knew about this, yet he still bears the title of the emperor's nephew. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor."
Emperor Xuande's expression remained unchanged. "So that's the case... Then what does the imperial sister want to do?"
Princess Yongjia couldn't tell whether the emperor was happy or angry, but since the emperor asked this, he probably wanted to do as she said.
She said solemnly, "I beg Your Majesty to punish Li Yunzhou for deceiving the emperor first, then strip him of his title of Prince of Ning and take back the military power of the Northern Frontier."
Emperor Xuande's eyes were filled with anger. "But Li Yunzhou has made great contributions. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this."
"My Royal Highness, you are wise. Since Li Yunzhou is not Sister Yongning's child, he is unworthy of the title of Prince of Ning. He is also not a descendant of the Li family, so how can we give him the military power of the Northern Frontier?"
Emperor Xuande raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a sneer.
"How could I not know that the Northern Frontier already has the surname Li? When I appoint generals, do I base it on whether they have the surname Li?"
