I'm feeling a little low.

Over the next two days, she discovered that Madam Li was right. At the beginning of the new year, rumors about the Eastern Palace continued to circulate, and they gradually increased.

Especially during this period, Prince Wu and Prince An were doing things very smoothly and received recognition from the emperor as well as appreciation and support from the ministers.

In the past, they were all busy with their own things in secret, but as the emperor gradually grew older and his power became more consolidated, they all wanted to take this opportunity to test the reactions of all parties.

Is it time to change the crown prince? So, the crown prince is weak and incompetent, unable to take on the important task;

The Crown Princess is impatient and interferes in government affairs; the Crown Prince is foolishly filial and cannot distinguish between state and family affairs; the Crown Prince's wife is domineering, cruel and jealous.

Eventually, all this led to a major incident in the East Palace, with the Crown Prince dying and the Crown Princess being placed under house arrest. And so on...

Qi Wu was in a bad mood after hearing this, and his face was gloomy all day. Wen Yu tried to comfort him for a long time but it was useless. She dragged him to Chen's house, where they were planning a wedding for her cousin, and she talked about this with Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen nodded: "These days, many lobbyists have come to Lord Mo, wanting him to join in the impeachment of the Crown Prince. But Lord Mo refused. It's just that the momentum of this rumor is a bit hard to suppress."

Wen Yu was also very discouraged: the rumors outside were not as serious as the real situation. Fortunately, the crown prince was decisive. If the inside story was known to others, and the thing was never exchanged back, it would be really over.

"Well, how about... there is no creation without destruction! Uncle, can Lord Mo also submit a petition?"

Uncle Chen laughed when he heard this: "This is a public matter, a political matter. Uncle won't advise like this, and Lord Mo won't listen to it! You are too casual!"

Wen Yu explained: "I didn't ask Lord Mo to throw dirty water on the Eastern Palace. He could have mentioned all kinds of rumors and let the prince prove it himself!"

Uncle Chen was puzzled: "Why is this?"

"Send more people in to muddy the water. Then, when someone mentions changing the crown prince, say it's the King of Wu. Let's see what the emperor says!"

Uncle Chen laughed even more: "You are just kidding. How can you use the methods of the women in the harem to deal with important matters of the court?"

"Uncle, you don't understand this. As the saying goes, the great truth is simple. The affairs of the court and the harem are of the same nature, but they are expressed differently."

"Nonsense!" Uncle Chen didn't listen.

"Really, uncle, there are so many rumors, even the censors are involved. It is normal procedure to let the prince come out to testify."

Uncle Chen said, "It's fine for others, but the prince is not in good health. If he is asked to come out and testify, what if he gets angry after hearing this and gets sick? Who can be held responsible?"

"The prince won't be angry. How can an ordinary person compare to him?"

But Uncle Chen shook his head and still refused to agree.

Wen Yu saw that she couldn't be persuaded, "Then I'll go ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If he agrees, you won't have anything to say, right?"

After saying that, she pulled Qi Wu and ran to the other courtyard.

The crown prince said that he had let go of everything, and he really thought about it, but how could he really be willing to do that? Looking at Qi Wu and Wen Yu, he thought to himself: This might not be a way to break the deadlock.

Although the East Palace was defiled, it was still a good result for me.

The father doesn’t speak, and the emperor doesn’t speak either!

In a few days, let the rumor spread like this... If the wound is pricked and the pus comes out, it may not be a bad thing.

So he nodded, and Wen Yu ran back again. On the way, she complained to Qi Wu: "It's none of my business, why am I jumping up and down like this?" Qi Wu looked at her gently and said nothing.

Next, people kept writing letters to the emperor, and Censor Mo could no longer keep his cool. He did not follow the prince in criticizing him, but instead pointed out that there were too many rumors, and if the prince's health allowed, could he please prove it himself.

The emperor listened and nodded: "That makes sense. Let's ask the imperial physician to take a look later!"

The emperor expressed his opinion, and the crowd became even more excited. Then another voice said: "Please ask the emperor to appoint the King of Wu as the crown prince." Many people actually agreed.

Before the Wu Wang Mansion could make any move, supporters of the An Wang jumped out and said that the An Wang was more suitable. The An Wang people might be anxious, so they all asked the Queen Mother for help. This made things even more lively.

This immediately showed that the Eastern Palace was weak...

Marquis Qi nodded, "Madam is right! You should all be careful recently. If it's not important, don't go out. Wait until the situation outside is clearer. Especially Xiaowu and his wife, you used to be close to the crown prince. Although grandfather felt it was not right, he never intervened. These days, when you have nothing to do, stay at home with grandmother and don't run around."

Tan smiled bitterly, "My Lord, you don't have to accompany me. Just be well and don't cause trouble for the family."

Wen Yu nodded: "Granddaughter-in-law listens to grandma."

Qi Hou was very dissatisfied with Wen Yu's answer. Listen to grandma? It's obvious that you don't want to accompany grandma! Who has such a granddaughter-in-law?

Although he didn't say anything, he was very angry.

It just so happened that the next morning, Li Tan suddenly came to send Xiao'er off, saying that since last night, Master Qing's eyes had been moving, her hands and feet had been moving, and she would actively hold anything you put in her hands.

Wen Yu was overjoyed when she heard this, and forgot what the Marquis had said, and left immediately. On the way, she asked Laba to find Qi Wu quickly, as she wanted to share the good news with her husband.

As soon as she went out, Tan's people followed her and saw Wen Yu enter the East Palace Villa with their own eyes and come back to report to Tan.

Tan immediately arranged for someone to call Marquis Qi back, and told him what had happened in a shocked, angry, and somewhat helpless manner.

This time, Marquis Qi was really angry, and immediately called Qi Youyi and Madam Qi to his side.

The old man roared, "Last night! I just said that last night! You don't take my words seriously at all!"

It was the first time that Qi Youyi saw his father so furious, and he was very nervous: "Dad! Don't get yourself hurt by anger!"

Madam Qi was puzzled, "Father, Wen Yu's shop is about to open, and she has been busy these two days. I don't know what she went out to do today. Who said she went to the East Palace? Could it be that someone in the family is following her?"

Tan cursed inwardly, calling her a bitch. Then, she raised her chin with dignity, "An open man should not do shady things. I sent someone to follow them. Things have been too complicated recently, so I have to be careful. Although the Marquis gave instructions, Qi Yang and Wen Yu were always arrogant and ignored the words of their elders. As expected, I caught them! Yesterday, the Marquis specifically instructed Qi Yang and his wife, but today she dared to disobey! How audacious!"

Qi Youyi chimed in: "She is so audacious! Divorce her!"

Madam Qi wanted to knock this man's head off with a hammer. Did he have a brain? "I'm afraid it's me, General Qi, who really wants to divorce you, right?!"

Qi Youyi was so angry that he yelled, "You came in here and you are unfilial and uneducated. You didn't raise your son well, and you married a daughter-in-law who is causing trouble. I am going to divorce you!"

The Marquis's rage was interrupted by this foolish son, and he pointed at him...

Madam Qi smiled and said, "I will go back and pack my things and wait for your divorce letter! But there is one thing: Qi Xiao and Qi Yang are my sons! I want to take them away! This home..." She glanced at Tan.

"As long as we leave, everything will be fine. No one will have to worry about that little thing. Isn't it tiring?"

Qi Hou's head was buzzing and swaying. Could it be that his own home was even messier than the outside world? !

Qi Youyi started to smash things again, "Okay! Take them all away!"

Qi Hou: "..." He was so angry that he was about to die. What should he do? "Shut up, you bastard!" He was about to rush over and hit his son who was in his forties.

Tan stood aside calmly, her eyes sparkling, and she couldn't control her smile. This was really interesting! "My Lord, don't get yourself hurt by being angry!"

Marquis Qi closed his eyes and said: "Cui, you are so ignorant... Go back to your own yard! Don't come out until you figure it out!" He said coldly.

Madam Qi glanced at Tan, who was smiling at her...

Seeing his wife leave, Qi Youyi still looked at Qi Hou stupidly, "Father..."

Qi Hou yelled, "Think about it carefully. Do you really want to be ignorant for the rest of your life? Get out of here!"

You? There are only two people present, including me? Tan returned to her room with a little nervousness, but smiled. She told the maid: "Pour me a cup!"

Madam Qi walked into the yard, not idle either, and told the maid beside her: "See if Xiaoji is here, ask her to guard the second gate and don't let Xiaowu and his wife come back. Then go to the shop to find someone and notify Wen Yu. Then, go to Cui's house and ask my father and my eldest brother to come!"

Sure enough, she was foresighted. As soon as she returned to the yard, the Marquis's men arrived and the yard was sealed off.
