Chapter 183 The Prince Arrives

After the couple left, old lady Gu sighed and spoke with resentment.

"Da Lang died young, and we have no evidence to prove that he was murdered! Later, Yun He also passed away, and we still have no evidence, but this matter must be related to the Wei family. I feel disgusted every time I see it!"

Madam Gu kept these words in her heart for a long time.

The two aunts also knew about it, so they could only sigh as well.

If the Gu family is still the same Gu family as before, then even if they investigate these things, they may be able to find some clues.

But now, after so many years, I'm afraid it has been wiped out completely.

All that was left was Madam Gu’s own intuition.

"Why don't we wait until tonight and talk to Shao Yu. With his current abilities, he might be able to find out."

"Let's finish the Chinese New Year. I don't want to disturb everyone's mood. We finally get together to celebrate the New Year. Don't let this affect it."

The two aunts also thought it made sense.

After all, it was nothing more than a slight suspicion of Madam Gu. It could not be used as evidence in court to accuse the Wei family of having the blood of her daughter and grandson, nor could it be used as a reason to destroy the Wei family and report it to His Majesty.

All I can do is endure it.

But they didn't know that if they had told Du Jingyi and his wife about this earlier, they would have gained some unexpected benefits.

The wind and snow gradually started to blow again.

As Shang Ji and Du Jingyi were on their way back to the front hall, they saw Nanny Dou approach them and speak.

"The banquet is ready. When is the best time for you, General and Madam to start the banquet?"

Shang Ji looked at the people coming and remembered that there were still two princes who had not arrived. He was thinking about delaying for a while when he saw Butler He coming in hurriedly.

"General, the Fourth and Seventh Princes are here."

It's true that when you mention Cao Cao, he appears. I was just wondering why the two of them haven't shown up yet, and now they appear.

So Shang Ji glanced at Du Jingyi and said.

"You decide. I'll go pick them up."

"Yes, General."

After saying that, Shang Ji walked outside to greet them, while Du Jingyi returned to the front hall.

As soon as he entered the room, he went straight to where the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were. They were talking to Prime Minister Guo and Old Madam Guo.

When Du Jingyi approached, Mrs. Guo asked anxiously.

"How is your grandmother?"

Du Jingyi smiled.

"Grandmother is fine, just rest for a while. I came here to say that the banquet is almost ready. Crown Prince and Crown Princess, can we start the banquet in a quarter of an hour?"

Among the people present, the most distinguished ones are these two.

Therefore, it is only right that they decide the time for the banquet.

The two didn't have much special impression of Du Jingyi, but they could see that Shang Ji cared a lot about his wife, so they wouldn't make things difficult for her.

"The Young Madam has the final say on the banquet at the General's Mansion. I am here as a guest as well."

The prince's words made Du Jingyi bow and nod before speaking.

"Yes, I understand."

Then he gave instructions to Madam Dou beside him.

"The feast will begin in a quarter of an hour."

"Yes, Madam."

Not long after they finished talking, Shang Ji welcomed the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince in.

"The Fourth Prince has arrived, the Seventh Prince has arrived."

Today they travelled light, coming alone without their families.

So, King Min said jokingly.

"These two kids are really something. They don't have any family to bring with them, and they came so late. I really don't know what they were delayed on the road for."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.

Although the prince still had a smile on his face, a layer of frost had formed in his eyes.

He arrived early, of course, to give face to Madam Gu.

But the late arrival of these two imperial brothers may be due to their intention to compete with him, the crown prince.

Prime Minister Guo did not say much, but it was obvious that he was wary of the two princes who had come.

"We are so late. I don't know what happened to the carriage. It broke down on the way. We two brothers had to wait for a new one. That's why we are so late. We kept the Crown Prince and the other uncles waiting for a long time."

The one who spoke was the Fourth Prince, who looked a few years younger than the Crown Prince.

He was very handsome and resembled Concubine Yin to some extent.

So we can tell from her face that this imperial concubine must be extremely beautiful and very favored by the emperor.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince are brothers from the same mother and have always been close to each other.

The Seventh Prince only follows the Fourth Prince's lead, so whatever the Fourth Prince says, the Seventh Prince will agree with him.

After hearing his explanation, Prince De came out with a smile and tried to smooth things over.

"Since you know you're late, you have to drink a few more glasses later, otherwise I won't agree."

"Okay, uncle has spoken, and if I don't obey, I will drink three cups as punishment."

“Hahaha, so refreshing!”

After hearing this, the prince said something with a smile on his face but not on his heart.

"Fourth brother, you are such a fool. The invitation from the General's Mansion was sent out not today. The servants in the mansion are too careless in their work. Are you cold?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm not cold. I just came late, so I was afraid that Your Highness would be unhappy. Don't think that we two brothers did it on purpose."

"Whether it is or not, it's enough for you to know it in your heart. I don't care about these things."

When the two of them talked, their exchanges revealed a hostile attitude.

Everyone present could see it.

It has long been an indisputable fact that the crown prince will inherit the throne.

But in recent years, everyone knows that His Majesty favors Concubine Yin, and even on the days when he is not attending court, the Concubine is always by his side.

Therefore, the fourth prince was very favored by the emperor and was often summoned to the palace to accompany him.

Therefore, under such circumstances, no one can tell whether there will be any sudden changes.

Putting aside other things, if His Majesty dies suddenly and there is no one else around him, only Concubine Yin and the Fourth Prince and his mother and son, then the will can be changed at will.

The prince and the Guo family are not the kind of people who will sit and wait for death!

If things really get out of hand, wouldn't the Daxing Dynasty, which had just settled down, be dragged into the fight for the throne?

This is an ending that no one wants to see.

The prince has the people of the world in his heart. Although he is kind and generous, it does not mean he has no desires.

If the Fourth Prince really threatens his position, then even his closest relatives can be killed.

Seeing that the two were becoming increasingly hostile, Prime Minister Guo came out and spoke in a calming manner.

"General Shang, are we going to use the table?"

"Yes, the table is ready. Please move to the hall."

After hearing this, the anger in both of them disappeared and they returned to their usual cheerful conversational state.

Princess Fu watched and wished that these two ancestors would start a quarrel in the mansion.

One is the crown prince, and the other is a favored prince. If something happens to one of them in the general's mansion...
