"So you actually have some connection with the royal family. No wonder you are so devoted to the court. Haha! It's not unfair that I lost. It's really not unfair. Who would have thought that a gangster would have a connection with the royal family?" Lu Fengyu sighed, but heard Duan Tingxuan impatiently said, "Stop talking nonsense and tell me what's going on."
"That person is the Fourth Prince."
Lu Fengyu's incoherent words made Duan Tingxuan's face change instantly. He shouted in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense. The Fourth Prince was born to Concubine Jing. You shouldn't slander him."
"Slander?" Lu Fengyu laughed: "Please pat your chest and ask your conscience, is it possible that I am slandering you? Of course, you can also not believe me, that is the second prince. During the time when the prince was in the capital, only these two princes could be possible, right?"
Su Nuannuan was still confused before, but now she suddenly understood.
She and Duan Tingxuan had previously speculated that the reason why the King of Xiangyang did not recruit troops but had the ambition to rule the world was because he might have had an affair with a concubine in the palace in his early years, and the child born was raised as a prince. In this case, as long as the prince died, the emperor would have to appoint a new prince, and he might appoint that child as the prince.
If you think about it carefully, the Second Prince has no interest in the world and only wants to be accompanied by books. If something really happens to the Crown Prince, the position of Crown Prince, or even the throne, is likely to fall into the hands of the Fourth Prince.
"If you still don't believe me, I can take you to find that family. Do you know who that family is? It's the nanny who delivered Concubine Jing that day. She was the one who facilitated the affairs between Concubine Jing and the prince. So you understand why the prince placed her in this Immortal Ridge and sent people to protect her, right? Because this is his trump card. If the emperor appoints the fourth prince as the crown prince in the future, once the emperor dies, the prince will make the truth public. This dynasty governs the world with filial piety, and the new crown prince must give up the throne..."
Before he could finish, Su Donglou shouted angrily, "Asshole, this is just nonsense. You are just dreaming. You are so ambitious to seize the throne. Do you think you can succeed just by being filial? How dare you treat the civil and military officials of the court and the people of the world as nothing?"
"The Crown Prince will be able to appease the entire court. If he still wants to be the emperor legitimately."
Lu Fengyu smiled proudly, looking at Su Donglou with the eyes of a stupid bear: "Don't you understand yet? As long as the current crown prince dies, the fourth prince will become the crown prince. All the civil and military officials in the court will recognize him as the crown prince. The one who holds the military power in the northern border is the father of Concubine Jing. Even if the ministers here are shocked by the prince's wolfish ambition, what can they do? Does the fourth prince dare to kill his father? If he does not recognize that the prince is the emperor, then he, the blood of the prince, is even less qualified to be the emperor. What will he choose then?"
Here. He paused slightly, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth again, and he said lightly: "If the prince becomes the emperor, what does the rolling infamy mean? How many scholars are really not afraid of death? If the hearts of the people in the world are really so united and cannot be deceived. How can those who killed the emperor and usurped the throne in the previous dynasty sit firmly on the Dragon Court? So you know today what the prince relies on the most? As long as the prince dies, the fourth prince will become the prince, and the day when the emperor dies and the prince ascends the throne. That is when Nanny Wang comes out to testify, with her testimony and the evidence written by Concubine Jing. Even Concubine Jing and the fourth prince can't resist. Anyway, the prince has become the emperor, and they are still the concubine and the prince. Why should we fight to the death, giving others a benefit in vain, but ending up with our own death? If all these plots are not going to come to fruition in the future, do you think people like me will be willing to die for the prince?"
Duan Tingxuan and Su Donglou remained silent, and Su Nuannuan didn't know what to say. For a moment, the only sound in the bamboo building was Lu Fengyu's wanton laughter. At this moment, even Su Nuannuan wanted Su Donglou to bring this idiot to justice immediately.
"You are wrong, and so is the King of Xiangyang. You are just dreaming."
Duan Tingxuan suddenly spoke amidst the laughter. Su Nuannuan turned her head and saw her husband's clear and firm eyes, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth. He said in a deep voice: "You are so delusional because you don't understand the Fourth Prince. He is a prince who can't tolerate any filth. He is usually in high spirits and clean. His heart is brighter than anyone else. If such a thing really happens in the future, he will not hesitate to give up the throne to another prince. He would rather die bravely to maintain the purity of the royal bloodline. At that time, the King of Xiangyang will become a traitor and everyone will be able to kill him."
"Impossible." Lu Fengyu stood up excitedly: "How can there be such a fool in this world? Would you rather give up the throne, would you rather lose your life, and nail your biological father to the pillar of shame of a traitor? My Lord, you are just quibbling."
"hehe!"
Duan Tingxuan sneered: "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? You are a coward who clings to power and greed, do you think everyone in the world is like you? Do you understand the Fourth Prince? Or do I understand him? Lu Fengyu, your so-called greatest reliance is actually a daydream like a mirage. Let's not talk about the fact that the Fourth Prince absolutely cannot tolerate such a despicable and shameless father like the King of Xiangyang. Even if he is the Crown Prince, will he die young as you wish? Where do you get your confidence? Just relying on the few people you have planted in the East Palace and the royal family... "People, you dare to bet that the emperor and the prince will die young just because you caused them to suffer from heart disease due to greasy food? It's ridiculous. Don't you know that my wife's cooking skills are unparalleled in the world? Can medicinal diet therapy be difficult for her? To tell you the truth, the emperor and the prince's diet has long been changed. The imperial physician also said that as long as they stick to a light diet in the future, it will definitely be good for their health. The prince is also working hard. Before I left Beijing, he was ten pounds thinner than before. Tell me, the great cause you expect is nothing but a pipe dream, what else can it be?"
Lu Fengyu was finally speechless. He sat there in a daze, as if he couldn't bear such a blow. But soon, he jumped up again and shouted, "What does it have to do with me, whether it's a great cause or a yellow millet dream? I have confessed everything I should confess. I want to eat meat, I want to eat barbecue, you promised me."
Duan Tingxuan: ...
Su Donglou: ...
Su Nuannuan: ...
"We have finally gotten to the bottom of this muddy water of the King of Xiangyang."
Under the moonlight, Duan Tingxuan and Su Donglou sat together. In the bamboo building, Lu Fengyu, the three brothers of Laoshan, and Hong Luo Luqi were all in a coma. Su Nuannuan was so tired that she fell asleep, and Siping kept watch for her.
"Yes." Duan Tingxuan sighed: "After getting to the bottom of it, we are left with a huge problem. What should we do about the Fourth Prince and Concubine Jing?"
"What do you mean? Weren't you very passionate during the day? You left Lu Fengyu speechless. Why are you in trouble now?" Su Donglou was puzzled, but soon said, "Are you worried that I will tell others? You don't have even this little confidence in me, do you?"
"Of course I know you can't tell anyone." Duan Tingxuan rolled his eyes at him and said angrily, "But why don't you think about it? What should we do next? I came to Jiangnan and then went back to tell the emperor that there was nothing wrong with Prince Xiangyang? Will the family of Duke Ping be wronged forever? If there is something wrong with Prince Xiangyang, will the matter between Concubine Jing and the Fourth Prince be told? At that time, whether the emperor can bear it or not is secondary. Even if the emperor can bear it, what will happen to Concubine Jing and the Fourth Prince? Which emperor can tolerate wearing such a green hat? Raising someone else's son as his own for so many years?"
When he said this, Su Donglou couldn't help but gasp and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, this is a serious problem. Then...what should we do?"
Duan Tingxuan sighed and said, "I may be able to fool the emperor, but the most difficult thing is the crown prince. I can keep this from the emperor, but I must let the crown prince know. After all, the emperor is concerned about the brotherhood and may be willing to believe that the King of Xiangyang was just greedy for money and will not pursue the matter. But the crown prince is different. The crown prince has long known about his uncle's wolfish ambitions. Now I go back and tell him that the King of Xiangyang is innocent. Do you think the crown prince will believe it? Even if the crown prince believes it, can the King of Xiangyang be allowed to live freely in his fiefdom for the rest of his life just because he committed such a heinous crime? I will be so frustrated not to mention others."
Su Donglou nodded every time he said this, and finally spread his hands helplessly and said, "What's the point of you telling me all this? I can't really help you with anything. You have to decide for yourself."
"Didn't I ask you to help me think of a solution?" Duan Tingxuan was angry, but Su Donglou laughed and said, "I'm far away from the capital, and I don't know anything about the crown prince, the princes, and the emperor. Even you are stumped, so what good solution can I come up with? You can ask Lu Fengyu, this guy has always been cunning, maybe he can come up with a good solution that will satisfy both parties."
"Forget it, what about that poisonous snake? I don't dare to use his method. He might sell it if I'm not careful. You are the only one who is so foolish and fearless that you want to eat a snake? Be careful that you don't get to eat the snake, but get bit by him. It's worse than death."
Su Donglou laughed and said, "That's impossible. Do you know what the natural enemy of poisonous snakes is? It's the golden eagle. Even if Lu Fengyu is a poisonous snake, he will be eaten by a powerful golden eagle like me."
"Bah! What a golden eagle! I hope you won't be fooled by it and become a stupid bird. I will have to clean up the mess for you then." Duan Tingxuan spat, looked at the moon in the middle of the sky, stood up, patted his butt and said, "Okay, I've calmed down a bit, I'm going to go back to sleep."
"Huh? You can really sleep?" Su Donglou also got up quickly, but heard Duan Tingxuan say indifferently: "Is it useful to not be able to sleep? Can the problem be solved? Since I have to face it sooner or later, why don't I get a good night's sleep now? If I can't sleep, can you help me come up with a good solution?"
