Chapter 393 Big Brother Isn’t Nice

At the court this morning, several imperial decrees were issued one after another.

First, the fake prince Tang was conspiring to seize the throne and confuse the royal bloodline... He was convicted of multiple crimes such as treason and disrespect, and was executed by slow slicing, and all his family members were convicted as well. Because Li Zhizhi was loyal and had made contributions to the country, he was given special grace and his daughter was released to divorce him. In addition, because the prince was kind, he was pardoned for his nine clans.

In addition: Duke Qing was executed by slow slicing, his property was confiscated, and his nine clans were executed. The former third prince Yan Yousong was demoted to a commoner and was not allowed to enter the capital, take the imperial examinations, or enter officialdom for the rest of his life.

In addition, the provincial governor Chen Benshan was demoted and beheaded, all his family members were beheaded, their property was confiscated, and his nine clans were pardoned.

In addition to punishment, there are also rewards.

Yan Xuan, the former eldest son of Marquis Yiyong, was adopted by Yuan Xiang as his son. Because of his contribution in assisting the crown prince, he was granted the title of Duke of Zhaoguo, and was given a mansion and allowed to open another government office.

Liang Shen, the former magistrate of Longmen County, was granted the title of Marquis of Huaicheng and allowed to return to the capital to report on his work because of his contributions in assisting the prince among the people and helping the prince promote methods to increase production.

Yuan Yanjue was adopted purely out of the desire to completely sever his ties with that family, and assisting the prince was just an excuse.

As for why he didn't let Tang Qingshan recognize her... well, first of all, it's not so easy to recognize the prince's son. Secondly, although Emperor Mingpei also loves Yuan Shenjue very much, she is still one level lower than his own granddaughter. So, although a wife or something is just a game, who knows?

So isn't this great? Everyone is happy?

As for the third prince Yan Yousong... on the surface he was only demoted to a commoner, but in fact Emperor Mingpei had already sent people to get rid of him, and picked a shadow guard who looked very similar to him, and left the capital and lived under his identity.

Why is this so?

Because when "Empress Zhu" died by hitting the pillar, the real Zhu Chanjuan was not dead yet, but was imprisoned in a place to see if she could say anything.

Zhu Chanjuan couldn't stand the torture, but she confessed very quickly. However, two days later, the shadow guard came to report something...

He said that Zhu Chanjuan had a strange fragrance on her body. He could smell it at first, but he could no longer smell it after being with her for a long time. The shadow guards, both men and women, who smelled this fragrance would involuntarily develop a liking for her.

It's not that I have desire for her, but gradually, I may feel that she looks pitiful, and then sympathize with her. The longer I smell her, the deeper my affection for her will be. Maybe the longer I spend with her, the stronger my affection for her will be.

Emperor Mingpei was very shocked.

But thinking back carefully, he seemed to have smelled a strange fragrance on her. It didn't affect his mind, but it did make him feel happier.

Judging from the shadow guard’s situation, it’s obviously more serious than his, so people with strong willpower will have less influence, and vice versa.

Although common sense suggests that this is most likely a medicine or a kind of poison, it is still frightening.

Thinking about Xinbao's foresight and the words "an evil spirit is causing trouble", he really couldn't sleep well.

Now Zhu Chanjuan is dead. She gave birth to two princes. The seventh prince died young, leaving only the third prince. So he got rid of the real third prince and ordered the shadow guard to impersonate him. Maybe one day someone will really come looking for him, and he won't be caught off guard then.

Although Emperor Mingpei knew rationally that it was the right thing to do, the Third Prince was his biological son after all, and he felt really uncomfortable giving such an order.

After the morning court session, he asked Fang Wuyou, "What is Xinbao doing?"

Fang Wuyou laughed anxiously and said, "I just asked someone to ask, and I heard that His Highness just woke up! The Duke has already passed away."

Emperor Mingpei smiled and shook his head: "He is fast!"

He entered the imperial study: "Ask Xiao Tai to come in first, and ask Yuan Qing and the others to wait."

Fang Wuyou responded quickly and retreated.

In the East Palace, Yuan Shenjue showed Tuanzi the imperial edict of conferring the title of Duke, and said with a smile: "The emperor has granted me a badge, and I can enter the palace at any time."

Xinbao asked, "Then do you come to see me every day?"

Yuan Shenjue nodded: "Yes, come if you can."

He paused and said, "The emperor also gave me a house. It is said that it can be used after a little repair. I will go to take a look later. When Uncle Shen comes, he can live in my place. I will also make a big pharmacy for Bai Gusheng to live in. If Hao Huashi wants to come, he can also come."

Tuanzi's eyes curved, she grabbed his hand, lifted it up, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, and wiped her mouth with it.

Yuan Shenjue bent down as if it was natural and put his face close to Tuanzi. Tuanzi gave him a kiss and then continued eating.

He also said to Yuan Shenjue: "Shall we go see Huang Yeye?"

Yuan Shenjue asked: "Do you want to go?"

Xinbao nodded, and Yuan Shenjue said, "Then go."

"Xinbao," the second brother heard it and turned back to say, "This morning the emperor... the emperor sent someone to tell us not to worry about the rules or greet each other. We should just go around and meet our relatives and relax for a while."

Xinbao didn't understand what he wanted to say, and blinked: "Oh?"

The second elder brother said, "The emperor has to attend the morning court, especially with so many decrees today, he must be very busy. We are new here and cannot help, but it is best not to disturb him all the time. Even if you want to go, don't choose this time."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Xinbao said: "But Xinbao misses Yeye. If Xinbao doesn't see Yeye, he can't eat..."

She quietly pushed the bowl she had just finished eating away with her little hand: "You're still sleepy, Xinbao won't disturb Yeye, Xinbao will go take a look and be back soon."

"Xinbao," the second elder brother said, "be good. The morning court has just ended. Xiaojue said that many people followed Yeye to the imperial study to discuss matters. Don't you see that your uncle hasn't come yet?"

He turned the face of Brother Tang, who was talking to his parents, and said earnestly: "Look at our brother, how handsome he is. Don't you miss him every day? It's only been a few days and he's not attracted to you anymore? Can you play with brother for a while today? Let brother tell you stories about the border, okay?"

Brother Tang: “……?”

He raised an eyebrow and looked at Tuanzi.

Tuanzi's little face was wrinkled.

She knew that their family had gone through a huge change, and since she was new to the palace, her second brother would definitely be very cautious...

Of course he was right, but in her opinion, Emperor Mingpei was very kind and friendly, just like her parents, elders who could be approached and trusted at any time. He issued so many decrees, even dealing with the Third Prince, who was also his son! He must be very sad.

She wanted to go see him, and if he was not sad she would come back, and if he was sad she would stay with him for a while.

Xinbao said: "But..."

The twins came in quickly and said, "It turns out that there was also a palace in front of us! It was just demolished! They said it was originally the East Six Palaces, and it would not be a pair if it was demolished, so they had to build a Feng Shui arrangement on top to avoid affecting the Feng Shui, such as a small lake and a pavilion, and a garden next to it."

Xinbao's eyes lit up: "Garden!!"

She got off the chair: "Xinbao also wants to see the garden."

She held Yuan Shenjue's hand: "Let's go! Let's go to the garden!"

Besides Yu Ru, there were also a bunch of palace maids and eunuchs around her, and it was the time for them to show off. As soon as the two of them went out, a large group of eunuchs and palace maids followed them.

Mrs. Lin called out to her, “Don’t go too far!”

Xinbao said, "Got it!!"
