Chapter 644 Yu Zhi
Let alone Shen Chuliu, everyone in the palace was a little surprised to learn that the Thirteenth Prince had saved his life.
After all, this child is really...
However, such a sickly child who was not particularly spoiled was naturally not a threat.
Even if someone wanted to use her to plot against Mei Xiuyi, there was no need for that.
After all, the child was taken to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother did not allow Mei Xiuyi to see him.
Shen Chuliu stayed in his own palace to recuperate and did not go out, just listening to Yuanxiao and others bringing news from outside every day.
It is warmer in Shen Chuliu's palace than last year.
Especially at night, cotton curtains were hung from the outside from the main hall to her inner room.
Try not to let the cold wind in.
However, Shen Chuliu still insisted on having a window open inside and outside, and lighting charcoal fires in both places, although it was the best silver frost charcoal, which was said to have no smell.
But not being able to smell it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
If you close the doors and windows all night and let the smoke in, you will still get carbon monoxide poisoning.
Shen Chuliu was sitting on the couch in the outer room playing cards with the maids. It was still early.
The wind started to blow outside and you could hear the whistling sound of the wind.
The eunuchs collected the things carefully, fearing that something might go wrong due to strong winds.
They were extra careful in this weather.
After all, there were lights and fires everywhere. If you were not careful, something bad would happen.
A fire in the palace is no small matter.
Fortunately, in the imperial city, even if the water in the peace tank freezes, it won’t be too serious.
Just tap it gently.
Shen Chuliu listened to the eunuchs walking around outside and playing cards at the same time, feeling so relaxed.
She is leisurely, but there is always someone who is not leisurely.
Since ancient times, whenever the emperor wanted to appoint a crown prince, it was the most unpleasant time for the royal family.
There will always be conspiracies and frame-ups.
After all, how great is the temptation to rule the world? Even the most noble person cannot resist this temptation.
So, on this windy winter night, Yu Zhi once again entered the second prince's residence.
He has also been very anxious recently.
In the study, Yu Zhi knelt down and said, "Your Highness, please do not waver. If the Sixth Prince is made the Crown Prince...what will happen to you and Consort Qian Shu in the future? Anyone can do it, but not him. Do you still remember that year? You accidentally pushed him into the lake, and he almost died!"
"Your Highness!"
The second prince's face was distorted.
He remembers, of course he remembers.
At that time, Concubine Jingxian whipped his mother with a whip. What kind of shame was this?
He really didn't mean it back then...
"What can you do?" the second prince asked. "Father is treating him better and better now. If we wait until the first month of the year, when Father has decided on the candidates to go to Mount Tai, it will be too late."
"Your Highness." Yu Zhi's cheek twitched, and he suddenly said, "Your Highness, those who want to accomplish great things cannot be merciful and soft-hearted."
The second prince's heart skipped a beat: "What are you going to do?"
"What can I do? It's you, Your Highness!" Yu Zhi looked at him with fanaticism in his eyes.
"Your Highness, wait for the emperor to go to Mount Tai, this will be an opportunity." Yu Zhi said.
The second prince's heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
"Go on."
"At that time, the imperial city was under guard. I could make a copy of my father's imperial guards badge in advance. Although it is impossible to be the same as the real one, it is the same as long as it is in your Highness's hands. First, control the palace. With the Crown Princess around, Queen Mother Li will not resist too much. This will be good for their Li family in the future. She has always wanted a queen for the Li family."
"The current queen won't resist too much. She doesn't have any princes, so it doesn't matter who becomes the crown prince. You just need to respect her as the queen mother. Just be nice to the second princess."
"Control the palace, and then control the capital. All we need to do is make some moves on the emperor's way. The emperor will never come back." Yu Zhi said.
The second prince was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
After a long while, he waved his hands with shaking hands: "You go back first, I'll think about it. Think about it."
Yu Zhi smiled and stood up: "Your Highness, if the Sixth Prince becomes the Crown Prince in the future, we will all have no way to survive. Think about the Deer King!"
The second prince just nodded randomly.
The Second Prince was extremely confused, how could he sleep at this time?
He went to Li's place in the backyard.
Li was about to go to sleep, but when she saw him coming, she had no choice but to stay with him.
The second prince was in a daze.
Li didn't say anything either.
After a long while, the Second Prince finally asked, "What do you think of the current situation?"
"What's wrong with the situation?" Li was puzzled for a moment.
"Yes, it's good. The chaos in Jiangdong has been calmed down. Now the sea is peaceful and the river is clear." The second prince smiled and said, "Now that father wants to appoint a crown prince, I wonder if there will be chaos?"
Li was still puzzled, and just said: "Father will naturally make all the chaos disappear. Besides, it is a proper worship of the crown prince at Mount Tai, so naturally the whole world will be convinced. How can there be chaos?"
At this point, she suddenly had an epiphany.
“If anyone dares to act recklessly, he will be courting death. Father has always been good to the princes. He provides them with fine clothes and delicious food, but if they still raise a rebellious one, his fate will probably be worse than that of the Deer King.” Li didn’t know what the second prince was going to do.
But no matter what she wants to do, she won't be optimistic about it.
It sounds noble, but she really looks down on this man.
The second prince waved his hand and said, "It's late, take a rest."
He stayed in the main courtyard that night.
The Second Prince is indeed not a capable person. Simply put, he is low-minded and low-handed.
Yes, he has no vision at all.
When Yu Zhi told him this, he was just afraid. He didn't think about how happy he would be after success, but what would happen after failure.
I even thought of ten thousand possible outcomes of failure.
Therefore, Yu Zhi never expected that the second prince would cut off the source of the problem.
The next day, the second prince knelt in the Taiji Palace.
He knew in his heart that if he told these things, he would have no chance of becoming the crown prince.
But he was really afraid, afraid that he would do something to them, and then it would be the same as if he had done it.
Besides, he also had a secret thought. Maybe if he said it out loud, his father would think he was sensible and filial. Maybe his father needed a sensible prince? Qi Yixiu listened to the words of the second prince and did not speak for a long time.
Just when the Second Prince was getting anxious, Qi Yixiu sighed softly: "I understand, you can go back."
The second prince felt a little puzzled. Why did his father have such a calm attitude?
But I didn't dare to stay any longer and left immediately.
Qi Yixiu looked at his back and shook his head gently, unable to hide the disappointment in his eyes.
Chusi lowered his head, thinking to himself, this time the second prince has completely fallen out of favor.
"Call Yu Chan."
On the fourth day of the New Year, he agreed to go out.
Yu Chan happened to be on duty in the palace and arrived quickly.
After coming in, Qi Yixiu just pointed at Chusi.
Chusi agreed and repeated everything the second prince had said.
