Chapter 1213: Too Hasty

The ministers left the palace in twos and threes. Their steps were not brisk, but rather heavy.

Zhou Shuren walked with Elder Wang, who sighed as they walked, "I always feel like a storm is coming, so you should be more careful!"

Zhou Shuren respected the old man very much. The old man had given him a lot of advice over the years. "You are the same."

Old Master Wang felt heavy in his heart. What the prince said today, and whether the emperor could wake up, and the fight for the throne, oh, I'm getting old, I'm getting old.

Zhou Shuren left the palace and got on the carriage. Several ministers stayed in the palace. Zhou Shuren stroked his beard. Even if the prince's words today were meant to cause misunderstanding, the prince was still very surprised.

The crown prince came out to take charge of the government and preside over the overall situation, which reassured the officials in the capital. Zhou Shuren immediately felt different when he returned to the Ministry of Revenue.

At the palace gate, the King of Qi was left alone. Just as the King of Chu was about to leave, Zhang Yang said, "The Crown Prince has just replaced several ministers."

The King of Chu looked at him with a deep look. Just now, they went to the government hall with some adults, and the crown prince made some appointments. The King of Chu asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "What can I mean? I just think that the crown prince is not confident and is too impatient."

The King of Chu looked at the ministers and other ministers who suddenly walked slowly, narrowing his eyes. Zhang Yang deliberately said what everyone was thinking, "Now that you open your mouth, I thought you were not the prince's brother from the same mother, but you are more hostile to the prince than I am!"

Zhang Yang choked. The King of Chu was even more low-key than the King of Qi. He even forgot that he was low-key. This guy would never be polite to anyone. "Third brother, you are joking."

The King of Chu stared at Zhang Yang and said, "I never joke. Put away your hostility, or I will suspect that you are not the prince's biological brother."

Zhang Yang closed his mouth, his heart skipped a beat. The King of Chu really dared to say that. Noticing the gazes directed at him, he wanted to leave.

How could the King of Chu let him go? He said quietly, "Your son was raised by your mother. Did you go to see her when you entered the palace today?"

Zhang Yang's scalp was numb, "My mother doesn't want to see me. I have brought shame upon her."

There was disgust in Prince Liang's eyes. What a fool! Even if he was a little crazy, he still looked stupid. If you don't have the ability, don't provoke the third brother. He really thought that if the third brother stopped making trouble, he would be easy to talk to. The third brother was also a ruthless person. In order to tear apart the previous power, he sacrificed many people.

The news of this drama outside the palace had spread, and the focus of smart people's attention was that the prince was anxious to be released from confinement and had a grudge against the emperor.

In the afternoon, the Crown Prince issued an order to interrogate Rong Enqing and investigate his crimes. The rumors were about to come true, and it was also a disguised way of telling everyone that the emperor had been tricked, his health was not good, and he could no longer control the government.

Today, from the transfer of several ministers to the review of Rong Enqing, the prince seemed to be in a hurry with every step he took.

Qiu Yan was stunned when he heard the news and whispered, "Why am I so panicked?"

The behavior of this prince is nothing like the prince in his memory. The previous prince stood next to the emperor in the court, and the emperor could not hide the prince's elegance.

Zhou Shuren looked at Qiu Yan with special sidelong glances. This man's intuition was particularly sharp. "We just need to do our job well and not make any mistakes."

Qiu Yan was afraid that his position would be replaced. He envied Zhou Shuren, "How can you still be so stable at this time?"

Zhou Shuren, "If I panic, what will happen to my whole family?"

Qiu Yan thought the same thing, "But Lord Rong is finished."

Zhou Shuren hummed, feeling nervous inside. He thought about taking more servants out with him recently. We only have one life, so we have to be careful.

At the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Gu Ren said to his father, "The Emperor rebelled and took shelter with the Rong family. Now he is being harmed by the Rong family. Father, do you think this move of your son is a good one?"

Zhang Wuxi stroked his beard, "Well, my son made a brilliant move. Conspiring to murder the emperor is a serious crime. Rong Enqing will die. In the past, the emperor was very grateful to the Rong family, but now he hates the Rong family very much."

Gu Ren added: "I just don't know if they will do the same thing to Rong Yuyun as well."

Zhang Wuxi sneered, "No rush, the clan will be wiped out sooner or later anyway, it's good to cut the flesh slowly now."

Zhang Yang was too lazy to listen to what the father and son said, so he stood up and walked out quickly.

Gu Ren stared at Zhang Yang, "Today at the palace gate, Zhang Yang was scolded by the King of Chu and ran away. What a waste."

"It's better to use garbage."

It's not good to be too smart.

Zhou family, Zhulan also knew the news, and then ordered them not to tell Yao Yao, and then arrangements were made. Then news came from Rong Hou Mansion that Rong Enqing's stepmother had died.

Zhulan frowned, "Why did he die?"

The steward lowered his head, "Recently, the master has been worried about the marquis, and the mistress is not in the mansion, so no one is taking care of the backyard."

Zhulan understood that Rong Enqing's stepmother had starved to death, and might have been dead for some time but was only discovered today.

Zhu Lan pressed her forehead and said, "You came to me for the rules?"

The steward trembled, "The Marquis was brought in for questioning today. Now the Marquis's residence is in chaos. The old man asked me to come and ask how to deal with it."

Bamboo orchid, "."

This is not Rong Enqing's father's fault. He really can't stand up at this time. It's better to bury this man. The weather is hot now, and the body is probably already rotten and smelly.

Zhulan said to Butler Ding, "You go."

Before he could finish, his fourth uncle came in and asked, "I heard someone from the Marquis' Mansion came, but what happened?"

Zhulan repeated what she had just understood.

Yu Yin's face darkened, and he said, "I will stay at the Marquis' Mansion for a few days."

Zhulan let out a sigh of relief. She was indeed not suitable to interfere in the Rong Marquis's Mansion. If she hadn't had no choice, she really didn't want to manage it. Now that her fourth uncle took over, she was naturally willing. "Thank you, fourth uncle."

The steward of the Marquis' Mansion is happy, but now the Mansion is without a backbone.

After Zhulan and the others left, they sent someone to keep an eye on the news and find out the result.

The result was not quick because Gu Ren was not caught and there was still a lack of evidence, but everyone knew that Rong Enqing was finished.

At night, Zhou Shuren and his wife had a lot to say, but they could only talk in a low voice when it was late at night and everyone was asleep.

Zhulan, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is deliberately giving others a handle."

Zhou Shuren, "Well, I've been thinking carefully, today's prince should be a substitute."

Zhulan, "Hmm?"

"The prince's acting is not good. He really can't act out the melancholy after being grounded."

He thought about it carefully for a long time and came to the conclusion that the real prince must be very busy and had never been under house arrest, so how could he act like one who had been under house arrest?

Zhu Lan twitched her lips, "The Zhang family would never have thought that the mask helped the emperor."

Zhou Shuren, "In the last few days, you should pay more attention to the children in these houses and be more careful."

Zhu Lan took it to heart and then said, "The result of Rong Enqing should be known tomorrow."

Zhou Shuren, "Yeah."
