"I blocked her way for you." Yu Yuanzheng looked at him as if he were a fool.
"How can I stand in his way?" Shangguan Ziqi felt puzzled.
He is not a prince, so why should he compete with the third prince for the throne?
"If you don't listen to her, you're standing in his way."
"Why should I listen to her? She is not my concubine."
Yu Yuanzheng began to doubt his IQ.
"Because she wants the palace to support her son to take the throne, and the king and you just ignore her, of course she has objections."
"But what does this have to do with harming me? The Rong Palace has been neutral for many years and is only loyal to the Great Wei. She is not unaware of this. Even if my second brother is the prince now, it will be the same." Shangguan Ziqi said as a matter of course.
"Then have you noticed that the current Crown Prince is closer to the Third Prince than you are to the Third Prince?"
Yu Yuanzheng didn't know much about this. Women usually didn't know much about what men did outside the house.
"I understand." Shangguan Ziqi figured it out immediately.
Ever since the eldest prince got into trouble, his aunt had mentioned it to him several times, intentionally or unintentionally, asking him to get closer to the third prince. One time, she even asked him to abandon the eldest prince and become the third prince's companion.
But since he had been close to the eldest prince since childhood, it was impossible for him to do as she said.
Moreover, he simply looked down upon the Third Prince as a person, believing him to be not magnanimous enough, always wanting to be the best and having a narrow mind.
Teach people a lesson for every little thing.
Such people are not in his eyes.
Now my second younger brother is the crown prince, and his relationship with the third prince is indeed closer than his relationship with him.
The eldest prince is disabled. If the third prince ascends to the throne, the royal palace will have to maintain a good relationship with the future emperor. Then the current prince will have to maintain a good relationship with the future crown prince so that the monarch and his subjects can live in harmony in the future.
His relationship with the Third Prince is not as good as his second brother, so he is the only one who will never be well, and this is the biggest concern for the Third Prince.
"Humph, you have a good plan." Shangguan Ziqi slammed his fist on the small square table in the middle of the carriage.
“Have you figured it out?” Yu Yuanzheng knew it from his expression.
"Yes. Thank you ma'am for your advice."
"However, I suspect that there should be more to the truth than what you think. There must be something we don't know." Yu Yuanzheng had a hunch, but no evidence.
"Yes. It's strange that Doctor Gu was assassinated. I've been awake for so long, but she didn't do anything. But she suddenly did it. This doesn't make sense."
"So there was someone else who killed Imperial Doctor Gu?" Yu Yuanzheng wondered.
"That's right."
"Could it be someone from Canglan again?" Yu Yuanzheng suddenly thought of this possibility.
"It's possible. But I can't find the reason. Unless the person who really wants to harm me is from Canglan." Shangguan Ziqi felt more and more complicated.
"Alas, so many people are concerned about your life. Be sure to bring enough guards with you when you go out in the future." Yu Yuanzheng sighed.
"Yes, ma'am. My husband's kung fu is not weak either, so I have no problem protecting myself." Shangguan Ziqi felt warm at heart when he heard his wife was so concerned about his safety.
"Compared between you and King Xu, who's better at kung fu?" Yu Yuanzheng was curious.
"Of course the king is better. He is more proficient in the use of moves than me, but he is older than me and his endurance is not as strong as mine. So when we fight, I can fight longer than him." Shangguan Ziqi said with a smile as if seeking praise.
"Is that so? Then after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we'll go to the countryside. You haven't practiced martial arts for a long time. You have to catch up with King Kou as soon as possible, otherwise the safety of the three of us will be at risk." Yu Yuanzheng joked.
"Yes, ma'am."
The two chatted and laughed, and Shangguan Ziqi felt much better. With a wife and a son, he no longer had anything to regret.
The king will handle the matter of his aunt and get his father-in-law back for him.
The two men returned to the palace, but they did not expect that the others who had returned with their wives had already returned, and they were the last to return.
Shangguan Zishu also accompanied Nanhua back to her parents' home. Although he felt sad, he still knew what he should do.
Yu Chaoyang's property issue made him mature a lot.
As soon as he came back, he went to Yu Chaoyang's room to accompany her.
The Lady of Nanhua County behaved very generously and appropriately, without any complaints.
"County Princess, why can you still smile when the prince treats you so coldly?" The head maid Ruoyun couldn't understand.
"If the prince just abandons Yu Chaoyang, it means he is a heartless and ungrateful person. Such a person is terrible. Yu Chaoyang suffered such a disaster, he should care about him." Nanhua saw it clearly.
If she wants to win the prince's heart, she has plenty of time and doesn't mind this.
To be frank, Yu Chaoyang is a little woman in the inner house who is a little scheming but not resourceful enough. I don't know why the old prince fell in love with her and made her the prince's consort.
But what Nanhua could not have imagined was that after the seventh day, the prince moved directly into the military camp and did not return home at all.
Shangguan Zishu pushed himself to the extreme, practicing martial arts seriously every day, studying military tactics, and participating in soldiers' drills.
By the way, he also kept Shangguan Zifeng under strict control.
The prince was pleased to see that the brothers were making progress together.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the emperor officially opened court.
The prince went to the morning court early in the morning.
After the morning court session, the prince went to the imperial study uninvited.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"Is there anything Prince Rong needs?" Emperor Qiming had not yet returned to work mode from the relaxation of the New Year holiday, and asked the prince who sat down without hesitation in a somewhat lazily manner.
"Your Majesty, I have something to ask." The prince said seriously.
"What's the matter?" Emperor Qiming walked out from behind the imperial desk and sat on the chair next to the prince.
The prince didn't say any more nonsense, he just took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Emperor Qiming.
Emperor Qiming took it and looked at it carefully.
After reading it, his expression didn't change much, and even had a hint of amusement.
"What's with that expression on your face? Don't you feel guilty for not taking care of your backyard?" The prince was a little annoyed.
"There are so many people in my backyard, who can I control?
As long as they don't cause any big trouble, some little tricks of jealousy will happen every day.
As long as it's not excessive, I always turn a blind eye.
Don’t you think what Concubine Wan Shu did is your family affair?
That's your own sister. She wants to kill your son, not mine."
Emperor Qiming's words were so infuriating that the prince glared at him fiercely.
The relationship between the two is that of monarch and subject, and also of friends.
"Okay, I'm just telling you that I'm going to look for Concubine Shu. Ask a eunuch to take me there." The reason why the prince told the emperor was just to enter his harem openly.
"Someone come here." Emperor Qiming shouted.
A young eunuch hurried in.
"emperor."
"Take Prince Rong to Concubine Wan Shu's palace."
"As you wish."
After the young eunuch took Prince Rong out, the emperor wandered around the imperial study, stroking his chin.
He wasn't completely indifferent.
He could see the problem right away.
His concubine wanted to harm her own nephew, and it was obvious at a glance that she was paving the way for his third son.
The Rong Palace has a superior status, and Shufei comes from the Rong Palace, so she feels that she has a natural advantage.
But she had miscalculated. The Prince Rong's Mansion was not something she could use whenever she wanted.
"Eunuch Hai, come on, I'll go out for a walk too." He wanted to eavesdrop on what the brother and sister were talking about.
