These past few days, the fake "Emperor" has been busy familiarizing himself with government affairs, and he also has to be careful about his disguised identity at all times for fear of revealing any flaws.
I have never been to the harem.
That morning, the prince attended the morning court.
When he was about to leave the palace, a young eunuch quietly stopped him halfway.
"We greet Prince Rong." The young eunuch bowed.
The prince took a look and saw that it was Eunuch Hai's youngest apprentice, who had not yet been arranged to serve the emperor closely.
It was not until the day when Eunuch Hai sent him to the palace to invite someone that he found out that Eunuch Hai had accepted a new apprentice.
I plan to adopt him as my godson so that I can provide for him in his old age.
"Eunuch Sun, is there something wrong?"
"My Lord, may I have a word with you?"
As soon as the prince heard it, he knew that he had something to report, so he took the lead, left the road, walked to a slightly remote place, looked left and saw that there was no one, then stopped.
"Go ahead."
"Your Majesty. Master has not seen you in the Imperial Study for several days. I miss you a little."
The prince raised an eyebrow and motioned for him to continue.
"Your Highness, Master asked me to tell you that he thinks the Emperor has been acting strangely these past few days, and many of his living habits have changed. He doesn't know what has happened, so he asked me to ask you to come and see the Emperor.
Is there something bothering the Emperor that he cannot bring himself to speak out?" Eunuch Sun whispered what Eunuch Hai had said.
After hearing this, the prince nodded secretly.
Yes, Eunuch Hai is already alert.
"I understand. Tell your master to serve the emperor wholeheartedly and not to think too much. I have something to do today, so I will come to see the emperor in two days."
"Yes." Although Eunuch Sun failed to invite the prince, he also got the prince's guarantee and bowed and left.
The prince tilted his head slightly, glanced to the side, and then walked away.
As soon as he left, a person appeared in the direction the prince had just seen, and then left quickly and carefully.
And this person took Concubine Wan to live in the palace.
It was the fake emperor who arranged for Concubine Wan to be her personal maid, disguised as her former personal maid, Baozhu.
The real pearl has probably been disposed of.
"Greetings, Madam Shufei. The prince privately met a young eunuch, who is the apprentice of Eunuch Hai."
"Oh? Did you hear clearly what they said?" Concubine Wan was stunned.
"I didn't hear clearly what the eunuch said, but I heard that the prince told Eunuch Hai to serve the emperor well and that the prince would come to see the emperor in two days."
At that time, Eunuch Sun deliberately lowered his voice when speaking, but the prince spoke in a normal voice.
After hearing this, Concubine Wan frowned.
Could it be that Eunuch Hai discovered something? He didn't dare to ask the emperor directly, but wanted to find out through the prince?
Eunuch Hai has served the Emperor personally for many years, and he is the hardest person to hide the truth from.
No matter how much Cangxianbei dressed up, there was no way he could be exactly the same as the emperor.
What should I do?
"Baozhu, please tell the emperor that at noon this afternoon, I want you to visit the Imperial Garden and enjoy the scenery in the pavilion in the middle of the lake." Concubine Wan thought about it and decided to discuss this matter with Mr. Cang.
Time cannot be delayed too long, otherwise problems will arise sooner or later.
There are so many concubines in the harem, it is impossible for the emperor to stay away from the harem.
And since so many women have served the emperor, the truth will definitely be revealed.
In the afternoon, the "Emperor" took the palace ladies for a walk in the garden on the pretext that he was tired from reading memorials.
Then I slowly walked to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and saw Concubine Wan Shu and several palace maids in the pavilion, sprinkling fish food into the lake from time to time.
"My beloved concubine." The "Emperor" was very happy to see this concubine who had blocked a sword for him. His tone was full of doting when he called her.
When Concubine Wan saw the visitor, she shyly stepped forward to greet him.
"Your Majesty, I have seen you."
"My beloved, please excuse me. You are still injured, why are you coming out?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have been bored in the palace for a few days, so I came out to relax."
"Everyone, leave." The emperor waved his hand, and all the palace maids retreated far away, including Baozhu who was accompanying Concubine Wan.
Seeing that everyone had left, the two of them sat down together.
He tried to speak in a low voice so that the palace maids far away would not be able to hear him even if they had good hearing.
"Master Cang, the eunuch Hai beside you may have discovered that you are different from the emperor, and he sent someone to tell Prince Rong.
You have to be more careful. And we can't delay any longer. We should move as soon as possible.
I have thought about it and decided that it would be best if we find someone to propose the appointment of a crown prince in the court.
Who do you think would be more suitable to present the case to the emperor?" Concubine Wan looked a little anxious.
"Let me think about it." Cangxian thought about all the people in the Third Prince's faction, but none of them was suitable.
The third prince's father-in-law could not be the one, because he was the Minister of War. Moreover, the reason why he married his daughter to the third prince was because he did not think highly of him. In the future, he just wanted to be an idle prince, so it didn't matter if his daughter married him.
These things should be made clear first.
Moreover, his status is not suitable for proposing his own son-in-law.
"There is one person who is most suitable." Concubine Wan suddenly thought of someone.
"Cao Mengxing, son of Prince Mo. When his family married their daughter to Prince Rong's mansion, they got nothing in return and also lost a daughter.
The Rong Palace has always supported the eldest prince, and Ziqi has been the eldest prince's study companion since he was a child.
If they want Nanhua to take over the capital, they must hope that the third emperor will take the throne.
As long as we promise, after the Third Emperor ascends the throne, we will find a way to bring Nanhua from Kutu Temple.
He will definitely do his best to get this done.”
Concubine Wan's words made Cangxian's eyes light up.
Cao Mengxing, the son of Prince Mo, is indeed the most suitable candidate.
The marriage between the Cao family and the Rongwang Mansion did not bring the expected benefits, but instead caused the Cao family to lose a precious jewel in the palm.
If we could take this opportunity to win over Prince Mo's Mansion and let them propose the matter of establishing a crown prince in the court, it would indeed be a good idea.
"Your Highness is right." Cangxian nodded in approval. If Prince Mo could come forward, it would indeed save us a lot of trouble. However, we still need to be cautious about this matter and not let him realize our true intentions."
"Don't worry, Mr. Cang. Prince Mo's Mansion has always been brooding over the Nanhua County incident.
That was the apple of their eye, how could they be willing to see it destroyed?
As long as we give them a little hint, they will naturally understand what to do. " Concubine Wan was sure.
She had known for a long time that Prince Mo's Mansion had been waiting for an opportunity to bring Cao Nanhua over.
Then they will bring this opportunity to Prince Mo’s Mansion.
Cangxianyi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do this. As for Eunuch Hai, don't worry, your majesty, I will be more careful. Since he has become suspicious, we must act as soon as possible to avoid more trouble."
Cangxianbei felt a chill in his heart.
He had just enjoyed the power of killing for a few days, but it was not as good as he had imagined.
Many of his affairs were shackled by the court officials.
The two men agreed and said no more.
Throughout the entire conversation, the two had smiles on their faces, giving the impression that they were having a very pleasant conversation.
After a while, Cangxian stood up and said, "My beloved concubine, I still have some memorials to review, please help yourself."
Concubine Wan stood up and bowed: "Your Highness, I respectfully send you off."
After Cangxian left, Concubine Wan watched his back, a complicated look flashed in her eyes.
The servants in the palace came forward.
Concubine Wan turned to the palace maid beside her and said, "Baozhu, go to the palace."
Baozhu followed suit, and the servants slowly left the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Arriving at the palace, Concubine Wan immediately summoned her trusted maid and whispered a few instructions to her, asking her to go to the Third Prince's residence. The maid obeyed the order and went.
Concubine Wan sat in front of the window, looking at the palace wall in the distance, secretly thinking about her next plan.
At the same time, Cangxian arrived at the imperial study, but his heart was not at peace.
He found a reason to get Eunuch Hai away.
