"What do you want?"
"Ah, Dad, don't you welcome me? Well, it seems that I have no choice but to make my own decision about what my husband said." Xihe said as she stood up and prepared to leave, "Luwu, let's go."
Prime Minister Qiang: "..."
"Okay! Sit down."
Xihe curled the corners of his mouth and snorted as he turned around: "Dad, you begged me for this."
The housekeeper twitched his eyes. He really didn't know how the second young lady had become so evil. It was a blessing that the master could bear not to beat her.
Xihe did have some serious business to do when he went to see Prime Minister Qiang this time. Although Meng Yuchuan was fighting at the border, he had left Qingliu to investigate Prince Yu before leaving. It was he who had passed the information about the gold and silver mines in the court to Prime Minister Qiang.
Otherwise, given Prince Yu's low-key behavior for many years, it would be difficult for Prime Minister Qiang to find out in a short period of time.
However, issues such as gold mines and private soldiers can be big or small, and the key lies in what the emperor thinks.
If the emperor does not want to punish Prince Yu, what he did is legal. If he wants to punish him... at present, it seems that the emperor obviously wants to keep Prince Yu to restrain the prince.
This time, the news brought by Xihe was enough to make it impossible for Prince Yu to recover.
"What news? Quick, show it to me!"
When Prime Minister Qiang unfolded the letter and took a look, he burst out laughing.
Xihe warned: "Dad, His Majesty is not a good person, you must use this information with caution!" Don't get yourself involved.
Prime Minister Qiang carefully folded the letter and said, "I know."
He had risen from the seventh rank to the position of Prime Minister. Was he such a frivolous person? If he attacked, he would definitely kill with one strike.
After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Xihe asked the maid and learned that Meng Yuchuan had no letters from home. She then took Meng Huaiyu to the old lady's courtyard.
The old lady had experienced the pain of losing her husband and son in battle, and was much stronger than Mrs. Lu. Although she was sick for a few days after Meng Yuchuan left, she quickly cheered up and valued her little grandson Meng Huaiyu even more.
"Why are you here so late? Are you back at the Prime Minister's Mansion again? Look at you, it's fine if you go to your mother's house every day, but why do you drag Chen'er along? He still has to study with the teacher."
As soon as she sat down, the old lady hugged her little grandson and started complaining.
Xihe had already figured out the old lady's temper: "Look at what you said, old lady. Isn't this just to make Chen'er have someone to love him more?"
"Chen'er is well-behaved. My parents love him very much."
The old lady thought so too and stopped talking about it. Then she changed the subject and looked directly at her belly: "Have you been having your period regularly lately?"
Xihe suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot and nodded repeatedly: "On time."
I thought to myself, just this once, how could your grandson be so powerful!
After finishing the meal, Xihe returned to the yard, washed up and lay down. He casually put his hand down and touched two letters, both of which were sent back by Meng Yuchuan after he arrived at the border.
She opened it, took a closer look by the light of the oil lamp, and soon burst out laughing.
The letter said: "My dear wife, I have arrived at the border. The sky is blue, the land is vast, and the eagles are... a bunch of stinky men, but my wife is more fragrant."
Xihe covered his face, this really exposed his true nature.
Prince Yu's foundation was overturned, and he could no longer keep a low profile. He simply stopped hiding his desire for the throne and started a fierce competition with the other princes.
The most uncomfortable ones among the group are the princes. Their chances of winning are not as great as the crown prince's to begin with, and now there is a Prince Yu who has both means and abilities. Do they still have a chance in the future?
Of course, there are also people who consider themselves smart and intend to take advantage of the conflict between the two sides so that they can profit from it.
Just wait until the Crown Prince and Prince Yu are fighting to the death, and only the last one is left, then jump out to fight for it!
For a time, the dispute in the court intensified. Xi He knew what a bloody storm it was just by listening. In a short period of time, several ministers were implicated and beheaded.
The old lady was very frightened and repeatedly told her not to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion again.
Xihe agreed obediently, but news from the court and the border continued to come from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
For example, when Prince Yu went south to control floods, the Crown Prince took advantage of the situation and killed several of his men. The Third Prince found out that there were many gambling houses under the Crown Prince's name, and he seemed to be suspected of selling information... The male protagonist frequently went to the palace to pay his respects to the Queen.
Xihe knew at a glance that Prime Minister Qiang did not act rashly against Prince Yu, but was waiting for the right opportunity.
Soon, the time came.
Qingliu temporarily obeys Xihe at the request of his master.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting money, Xihe asked him to inquire about the affairs of the court every day, especially Prince Yu and the male protagonist.
On this day, Qingliu brought a piece of news that the male protagonist had won the emperor's favor with a painting in the palace.
And that painting belongs to Prince Shu.
Xihe slammed the table and stood up.
"That's too much!"
She couldn't bear it any longer and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Soon, the news that "Crown Prince Shu was killed by Prince Yu" swept the court.
His Majesty was furious and, ignoring Prince Yu's cries, ordered his men to remove his crown and imprison him in the palace.
Many people from Prince Yu's lineage cried out in injustice and were immediately killed by the furious emperor with a single sword. For a moment, the entire court was in silence, and finally some people remembered how bloody the death of the crown prince was.
'Prince Shu' is your Majesty's legitimate son and the eldest son.
His Majesty has two queens. The current queen was married later, and there was also a previous queen.
Crown Prince Shu is the late Empress's posthumous son. He is wise and benevolent, cherishes the virtues of good governance, and cares deeply for the people. He is the crown prince that Your Majesty finds most satisfying. Upon his birth, he was given the name "Crown Prince" and the character "Shu," a gesture of great regard for him.
Unfortunately, despite the emperor's careful precautions, Prince Shu still died tragically in the palace.
It is said that when the Emperor saw the miserable state of Prince Shu, he fainted on the spot.
After waking up, he directly ordered the Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation. Unfortunately, when the prince died, there were neither concubines, palace maids nor eunuchs by his side, and no one knew how he died... It remains an unsolved case to this day.
As soon as Prime Minister Qiang came out with this evidence.
The emperor was furious and immediately ordered a thorough investigation.
Xihe watched coldly as Prince Yu continued to petition the palace, but unfortunately even the message could not be delivered. All those who wanted to plead for mercy did not dare to speak after seeing His Majesty's madness.
She watched helplessly as the Dali Temple uncovered the truth, Prince Yu was directly demoted to a commoner, the hero's sister was divorced and sent home, and the entire Prince Yu's mansion collapsed in less than a day...
The male protagonist sat in a prison car and was taken to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb - doing the dirtiest and most tiring work to atone for the sins of Prince Shu.
Xihe held Meng Huaiyu and sat by the window on the second floor, their eyes meeting the male protagonist's indifferent gaze.
A hint of doubt flashed across the male protagonist's eyes, but he quickly returned to silence.
Xihe watched him leave with a faint look in her eyes.
In fact, she originally wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but who made the male protagonist dare to steal Prince Shu's things to please the emperor? It belonged to the little guy's father. Even if it was burned, no one else should use it, especially the male protagonist!
"Maybe the hero doesn't know?"
"But he must know the position that Prince Shu holds in the Emperor's heart, right?"
The dog choked and stopped talking.
Xihe lowered his head and kissed the little guy's forehead: "Grandfather helped Chen'er beat the bad guys. Chen'er will go thank him tomorrow, okay?"
Meng Huaiyu blinked his big black and white eyes and smiled with his small teeth showing: "Okay~"
