Chapter 124 The Best Mother-in-law's Handbook 46
In the prince's inner courtyard in the palace, Zhu Xiaotao sent people to ask several times where the prince would stay tonight.
The servant in front of the prince smiled awkwardly. He didn't want to offend the maid in front of the princess, so he just said that the prince had important things to do and asked the princess to go to bed first.
Now everyone in the streets and alleys outside is laughing at the Duke's Mansion, and their royal palace has also suffered an unexpected disaster. What's more, the two people at the center of the topic have a close relationship with the Crown Prince's Consort.
It is understandable that the prince is unhappy. If such a reputation gets out, it will probably become a household name.
The Crown Prince's wife probably hasn't heard the rumors yet, but it indirectly confirms that the palace under the prince's jurisdiction is indeed an iron bucket. Who dares to say anything about the news that the prince doesn't want to be spread!
With the instigation of various people with ulterior motives, the Duke's Mansion was jointly impeached by the censors, and Li Guangling was even reprimanded by the current emperor in front of all the civil and military officials. It can be said that both his reputation and dignity were completely destroyed.
Li Guangling, who was full of anger, returned home angrily, invited the elders of the clan, and divided the second branch's family in front of his mother.
Ever since Li Guangkun knew that he had an internal organ disease and would die soon, his entire body of energy and spirit was like a balloon, completely deflated. The court doctor prescribed a prescription, saying that it could only suppress the disease temporarily, but it was almost impossible to cure it.
Lin had been locked up in the woodshed, and the only thing waiting for her was death from illness.
The old lady of the Duke's Mansion also knew that there was no hope for her beloved youngest son, so she could only send the second family off with tears.
Li Chanyi held her brother's hand, lowered her eyebrows, and a flash of panic in her eyes, wondering how things had turned out like this?
She just asked someone to put some itching powder on Lin's clothes in the laundry room, but why did it end up like this?
Could it be that Lin's stepmother was really indecent, she was infected with the disease without knowing it, and then passed the disease on to her father? If this is true, then no one else is to blame, they deserved the retribution.
With their father becoming like this, they, the siblings, could no longer stay in Beijing. Coincidentally, their mother was the only daughter in their maternal family in Jiangnan, so their grandparents would definitely not despise them.
With the dowry left by their mother, the two siblings could at least become wealthy men in this life. They did not seek wealth and glory, but only a simple life, taking care of their grandparents on behalf of their mother, enjoying the happiness of their children, and living a peaceful life.
Holding his brother's hand tightly, Li Langxing looked at his half-dead biological father in the sedan chair with burning eyes. His eyes were cold and indifferent, and a satisfied arc appeared at the corner of his lips.
…
A few days after this incident, Feng Wu received the news that Lin had died of illness, and he specially sent someone to pass the news to Zhu Dalang.
Ji Changsheng rubbed his beloved wife in his arms, feeling a bit embarrassed and helpless. "Little Phoenix, how about I send Dalang directly to see that Lin family for the last time and let you vent your anger, okay?"
Feng Wu: “…uh…” What should I do if I feel inexplicably moved?
"Hahaha...Wife, you are so cute and charming when you are narrow-minded!" Ji Changsheng hugged his wife, whom he loved so much, into his arms, his heart filled with infinite tenderness and love.
Feng Wu was embarrassed: "..." Oh, there is someone in this family who is even more love-sick than Zhu Dalang.
Dun Dun covered his eyes to avoid watching the overly affectionate interaction between his parents. He touched the glass jar hanging around his waist and sighed like an adult, "One Dun Dun swam in the water, lonely and worried. Two Dun Duns swam in the water, wagging their tails and nodding. Three Dun Duns..."
Feng Wu: "...Dun Dun, you can't swim in the water alone, or your father will punish you by making you copy a hundred large characters!"
Ji Changsheng also had a serious expression on his face, "Plus two hours of horse stance!"
Dun Dun, Dun Dun said that he was very tired and didn’t want to love anymore. He decided to accompany his little niece to embroider ducks!
…
On New Year's Eve, bad news came from the palace. The emperor was seriously ill. Feng Boxian braved the heavy snow and came to the house to drag Ajiu, who had left without permission again, out of the Zhu family mansion.
Looking at Feng Boxian's serious expression, one knows that the emperor is seriously ill this time, and there will be a fierce battle between the princes and the crown prince.
Although Ajiu was the eldest son of the crown prince, he was not valued by the crown prince since he was a child. The crown princess Feng Yanyan died of illness not long after giving birth to Ajiu, and Ajiu became an even more pitiful person.
However, the emperor loved this eldest grandson very much. When the child just turned one year old, he was named the crown prince. The emperor's protection was also one of the reasons why Ajiu was still alive. Among the few people Ajiu cared about, there was his royal grandfather.
The Feng family has always been loyal to the monarchy.
Seeing the two brothers hugging each other and crying, Feng Wu thought for a while and took out a vitality pill and gave it to Lang Jun, "This medicine can keep the old emperor safe for ten years. You give the medicine to Feng Boxian. As for whether to give it to the old emperor or not, it is his business." Ten years later, Ajiu was in his twenties, at the prime of his life. Compared with the narrow-minded, sweet-mouthed prince, their Ajiu was more suitable to be the ruler of a country.
After the things were given, the couple stopped getting involved in those disputes and continued to live their own lives behind closed doors.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, the entire city of Shangjing was under martial law, and every household closed their doors and locked their courtyards. The entire Shangjing was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
The soldiers who came to support the emperor had set up camp less than ten miles away from the city, ready to rush into the imperial city and rescue the emperor at any time.
The virtuous king's army was completely disarmed by the imperial guards who rushed into the palace. The prince who wanted to resist was immediately chopped off his right arm by the leader of the imperial guards. The whole palace was filled with the prince's screams of pain.
The emperor staggered and appeared in the hall supported by Feng Boxian. King Xian had completely given up and threw away the musket in his hand.
No matter how stupid he was, he understood that the batch of powerful firearms he thought he had had had been replaced long ago. They actually rushed into the palace with useless weapons and threatened the still sick emperor to change the imperial edict and make him emperor.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. At this point, he was the one who made the wrong move, so there is nothing to blame for losing. However, the prince will definitely not get away with it this time. If he wants to escape unscathed, his father, the emperor, is not a paper tiger.
Finally, the Xianwang clan was imprisoned in the Xianwang Mansion, and the Xianwang Mansion went from being bustling with people to being deserted.
No matter how cold-blooded the emperor was, he would never think of killing his son.
However, the prince was worried about the virtuous king's restoration, so he made a stupid move. He frankly stated in the hall the virtuous king's evil ambitions and asked the emperor to sentence him to death.
The emperor was furious again and scolded the prince for disregarding human ethics, being cruel and vicious, and not even tolerating his own brother who had made a mistake. How could he be a good emperor who loved the people in the future?
The prince was confined to the prince's mansion. Although the emperor did not take away the prince's seal, all the officials could see that the emperor was probably disgusted with His Royal Highness the Prince.
As for why the crown prince was not deposed, all the officials understood the situation when they saw the tall and handsome young man standing respectfully below the emperor.
Even if the crown prince falls, isn't there still the crown prince? The crown prince is more valued by the emperor than the crown prince, and he has the emperor's personal guidance. This person is probably the future crown prince.
