When Yan Bao was about to fall asleep, Mrs. Shen carried him out from under the table.
Concubine Li held the Thirteenth Prince in her arms, feeling as if she had found him again.
Yan Bao and the Thirteenth Prince waved their hands. There were too many people around, so she didn't dare to speak, for fear of exposing the fact that she could speak.
The Thirteenth Prince looked at Yan Bao blankly and was taken away by Concubine Li.
Chief Minister Shen and Big Brother Shen were helped out, each of them looked half dead.
The palace was in chaos. Many ministers and female relatives who were poisoned drank the antidote. Except for a few who were unlucky and died, most of the deaths were false alarms.
At the same time, everyone also knew what had happened. The assassin was vicious and killed the queen, the prince, and the eldest princess. The emperor was heartbroken and fainted. The imperial physician was treating him.
Madam Shen and Second Brother Shen were unaware of the specific circumstances, but Yan Bao knew everything. With her God's perspective, she curled her lips and said, "As expected, the Emperor is very good at spreading rumors. He clearly killed the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the Princess himself, but he claimed they were assassinated."
[Your Majesty is so good at passing the buck. Next time, try passing it on to more people. Anyone who offends our Shen family will be killed!]
Madam Shen was secretly shocked. She didn't expect that it was the emperor who did it himself.
Second Brother Shen was shocked. The emperor was so cruel. Those were his own children!
The emperor didn't think that since the crown prince, the queen and the eldest princess didn't care about his life or death, why should he show mercy?
They reaped the fruits of their own actions, and the emperor did not think he had done anything wrong.
Damn them!
After such an incident, court was suspended for three days. Only after the emperor had rested did he begin to control the empress and the prince. It would be embarrassing to make the coup known to others, as it might cause relatives to turn against each other, and it takes two hands to clap.
Anyway, the emperor didn't want to be ridiculed, so giving face to the empress and the prince was also giving face to himself.
The prince and his entourage were buried with great ceremony. The emperor pretended to be deeply in love with the empress, and said that he was deeply saddened by the prince's death and that he would not consider appointing another prince within ten years.
Those who were impatient and had no crown prince began to look for other possible crown princes, such as the third prince born to Concubine Shu, who was the most favored prince after the crown prince.
The most likely candidate is the new crown prince.
Who knew that the emperor's decision not to appoint a crown prince for ten years would completely block the third prince's path to becoming the crown prince.
Concubine Shu was so angry that she threw things around and cursed the empress and the prince for blocking the way of the living even though they were dead.
Although the previous dynasty was in turmoil, Yan Bao's life was not affected.
After learning that the Crazy Princess had died, the Shen family almost drank to celebrate.
Shen Shoufu patted Brother Shen’s shoulder happily: “You are free from now on!”
Brother Shen almost burst into tears. The knife hanging over his head was finally broken.
Madam Shen started preparing the betrothal gifts. Her son was old enough to get married. Yan Bao had called her sister-in-law for so long, but now that the crazy eldest princess was gone, the matter could finally be put on the agenda.
In order to meet Xu Zhimo, Mrs. Shen also planned to hold several banquets at home and invite more female relatives to sit and sit, so as to find an excuse to let Xu Zhimo come to the Shen family more often.
Won’t you become familiar with each other after a few visits?
Yan Bao secretly gave Madam Shen a thumbs up.
Recently, Second Brother Shen has been more clingy. He hangs around Yan Bao from time to time, eats, drinks and plays with Yan Bao, and even takes Yan Bao out secretly. Yan Bao is very happy, and the relationship between the brother and sister is getting better and better.
As for what Second Brother Shen wanted to know, about his broken leg, there was no news yet.
With food, drink and fun, Yan Bao didn’t care about anything else about Second Brother Shen.
It was almost New Year's Eve when the two of them secretly went out shopping. When Chief Minister Shen found out, he threatened Second Brother Shen, saying that he would break Second Brother Shen's dog legs and make him not do his work every day and run around with Yan Bao.
Yan Bao excitedly protected his second brother Shen: "Dad, don't waste your energy. In three or four months, my second brother won't be able to run around anymore. It's okay to let him run around more now!"
Shen Shoufu: “…”
What he said made so much sense that he was speechless.
Madam Shen frowned slightly and tried to stop him hypocritically: "Don't be angry, my husband. Children are just playing around. If you interrupt them, Yan Bao will be heartbroken!"
Yan Bao nodded in agreement, hugged Second Brother Shen and patted his head: [Don't worry, Second Brother, I'll protect your leg. Wait until March next year, and you won't have any accidents if you don't play polo.]
The Shen family focuses on the key point, playing polo?
Then he thought of the grandest polo match in the capital in March. All the young masters of noble families would participate, and the winner would receive rewards from the emperor. That was the day when the young masters of noble families loved to show off the most.
Second Brother Shen also likes it.
This year he is just old enough, if he is not allowed to play.
Second Brother Shen looked at his legs and wanted to cry.
He wanted to play polo and also wanted to save his leg.
The Shen family knew the danger in advance, so they naturally wouldn't let Second Brother Shen commit suicide. In the following period of time, they intentionally or unintentionally gave him instructions, or strictly required Second Brother Shen to focus on his studies.
During the New Year holiday, Shen Shoufu did not have to go to court. Every day when he had nothing to do, he would tutor Yan Bao and give pineapple to Shen Erge.
Shen Shoufu looked at his second brother Shen, who dozed off whenever he read, yawned whenever he wrote, and could stammer for a long time when asked to recite, and he was almost so angry that he killed his son with his own hands. He wanted to have another son who could read.
After all, Brother Shen is very good at studying.
So does Yan Bao.
Only Brother Shen, it seemed as if when he was born, they forgot to give him a brain.
Mrs. Shen said innocently: "Sui Feng is not stupid, he just has his mind elsewhere. Look at him riding a horse, shooting arrows, playing polo, etc. Isn't he amazing?"
Shen Shoufu objected: “Playing polo is not an option.”
Second Brother Shen wanted to cry.
This kind of days continued until New Year's Eve.
This year, I spent New Year's Eve with my family. The emperor had lost the empress and the crown prince, so he had no intention of holding a palace banquet. He just had a few drinks in the imperial garden with a group of concubines, princes and princesses.
