The emperor looked at Eunuch Dexi with an expressionless sidelong glance and sneered, "Hmph, don't assume that all of you servants have such ulterior motives. Aren't you just afraid of offending the Second Prince in the future?"
"I dare not, I dare not." Eunuch Dexi knelt on the ground trembling. Facing the emperor's anger, he could only complain inwardly.
When the emperor saw Eunuch Dexi like this, he didn't bother him anymore. He just waved his hand and let him go. He wanted to be alone and quiet.
When Eunuch Dexi heard this, he quickly crawled out, and did not forget to close the door when he left.
Then he scolded the eunuchs and guards guarding outside and asked them to stay away for the time being.
This time, General Huo broke into the palace at night, and almost all the ministers knew about it during the morning court session the next day.
Many people submitted memorials to impeach Huo Cheng, but Huo Cheng continued to do what he was doing and was not affected at all.
Even the Second Prince and Zhang Yuanzhong didn't dare to say a word.
The emperor also found a random reason to put the second prince under house arrest, and Zhang Yuanzhong was fined half a year's salary. The others were not fools. Seeing that the emperor did not punish Huo Cheng but found a reason to punish the second prince and Zhang Yuanzhong, they did not dare to say anything more.
He just secretly weighed the young master's weight in the emperor's heart.
In this way, the young master's identity has basically become clear, even though we don't know when the emperor will issue an order to bring the young master into the palace.
When Empress Zhang learned that her plan had failed, her face turned extremely grim. She did not get up for several days and lay sick in her palace, not daring to offend the emperor again.
She knew the emperor well and knew that he would not let the matter go so easily this time. He probably had some big moves planned.
Empress Zhang came every day in a state of panic, holding the little prince in her arms, not knowing what to do.
He had no choice but to ask for help from the second prince. After all, the second prince was the emperor's biological son and the mastermind of this incident. The emperor only gave him a light confinement.
The Zhang family will be in trouble and will definitely become a thorn in the emperor's side.
Another person who was anxious at this time was Aunt Yinping in the Fourth Princess's palace. After knowing that the Second Prince was punished, Aunt Yinping was absent-minded the whole day.
After knocking over another cup, the Fourth Princess could no longer bear to watch. She took Aunt Yinping's hand and said, "Aunt, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so absent-minded?"
Aunt Yin Ping came to her senses and immediately knelt on the ground: "Princess, calm down. It's because I haven't had enough rest recently..."
"Didn't you get enough rest? Aunt, why do you look so pale? Why don't you go back and rest first? I don't have anything to do, so they can take care of me."
The fourth princess personally bent down and helped Aunt Yinping up. Looking at Aunt Yinping's pale face, she really thought that she had not slept well.
Just let Aunt Yinping go back and rest.
Aunt Yinping felt tender in her heart when she saw the Fourth Princess who was worried about her. Others said that the Fourth Princess was arrogant and domineering and was spoiled to the point of being lawless, but in Aunt Yinping's view, the Fourth Princess was the one who grew up under her care.
The fourth princess should have been happy, but her life was full of twists and turns because of her encounter with Han Xiao.
Her conspiracy with the Second Prince has been exposed. She doesn't think the Emperor will let her go. She only hopes that the Emperor will let the Fourth Princess go this time because she is unaware of the situation.
This time it was her fault for not doing her job well, and she didn't expect that the emperor would be willing to be cuckolded.
Even though he knew that Ruan Zhu's background was suspicious, he still valued him so much.
After Yin Ping returned, she had already thought of a solution. She sent someone to deliver a letter to the Second Prince, taking all the responsibility on herself. This way, she could protect both the Second Prince and the Fourth Princess.
As for my own life, it's just a waste.
Sure enough, in the evening the emperor sent eunuch Dexi to come and go to the fourth princess's palace to bring out Aunt Yinping.
The fourth princess was horrified and asked hurriedly, "Eunuch Dexi, why did you arrest Yinping?"
Eunuch Dexi still had a smiling face and signaled the palace maids behind the Fourth Princess to stop her.
"Fourth Princess, I was just following orders. As for why Yin Ping was arrested..." De Xi gave Aunt Yin Ping a cold look and continued, "You should ask her."
The fourth princess was stopped by the palace maids. She turned around and looked at Aunt Yinping anxiously and asked, "Aunt, why did they arrest you? Please explain to Eunuch Dexi..."
Aunt Yinping just shook her head: "Fourth Princess, don't bother me. Go back and rest first. Don't worry about me."
Then Aunt Yinping looked at Grandpa Dexi and said, "Grandpa, let's go."
Eunuch Dexi looked at Aunt Yinping in surprise. He was quite familiar with her.
The Fourth Princess has been favored by the Emperor for many years. Everyone knows this female official who has been taking care of the Fourth Princess. If you were to ask who in the palace the Fourth Princess has the deepest feelings for, then Aunt Yinping would definitely be in the top three.
I didn't expect that she would take all the blame alone, but it seems that the Fourth Princess was indeed unaware of it.
Even so, it was not something that Eunuch Dexi could interfere with. He just followed orders and put Aunt Yinping in jail, awaiting the emperor's punishment.
After taking Aunt Yinping away despite the Fourth Princess's obstruction, the Fourth Princess pushed the palace maid away and turned to run towards Concubine Li's palace.
Concubine Li also heard about Aunt Yinping's arrest. She was worried that they would be implicated and wanted to give the Fourth Princess a lesson, but she didn't expect that the Fourth Princess had already arrived.
Seeing the Fourth Princess in such a state of disarray, Concubine Li touched her cheek distressedly and said, "What happened? Why are you crying like this? Someone, come and get some medicine."
Concubine Li took the Fourth Princess by the hand and was about to sit down. The Fourth Princess just stood there, shaking her head and crying, saying, "Mother, please save Yin Ping. She was taken away by Eunuch De Xi..."
Hearing that the Fourth Princess came to Germany for this reason, Concubine Li's expression turned cold. After a long while, she sighed and said, "Jingyu, you know your father's temper. He wouldn't take Yinping away for no reason. Yinping must have done something. Don't worry about it. Be careful not to get into trouble."
"But, but mother, Yin Ping is my lady-in-waiting. She won't do anything out of line. Can you please help me, wuwuwuwu..."
The arrogant and domineering Fourth Princess had never been in such a miserable state. This was her own daughter, so how could Concubine Li not feel distressed?
But her informant sent a message, saying that she should try her best to get the Fourth Princess away from her relationship with Aunt Yinping, and this matter was also related to the Second Prince being under house arrest.
There is only one thing related to the second prince at present, that is, the second prince spread rumors, saying that Han Mingyuan's daughter-in-law was the child left behind by Su Guijun.
There is a lot of controversy about this child's background.
