"It's about what we just talked about in the court, Fourth Brother. The current situation is very unfavorable to us. Are we going to stay like this forever?"
"We will not be involved in this matter. You just need to do your job well and don't worry about anything else. The Emperor didn't appoint a crown prince today, so he must have known the reason. It is best for us to do nothing now."
The Fourth Master said this because he was afraid that they would do other things in private. At this time, no matter who it was, the Emperor would definitely keep a close eye on them.
Doing nothing is the best option.
When the Sixth Master heard what the Fourth Brother said, he suddenly realized, "Fourth Brother, do you mean that our every move is being watched by the Emperor?"
The Fourth Master gave him a look that was only meaningful but not expressible.
Now Sixth Master finally understood what Fourth Brother was thinking.
"Fourth brother, I understand."
Xiao Shisan and Xiao Shisi were both listening nearby, so they naturally heard what they said.
So the fact that Fourth Brother wants to bide his time and not participate in the fight for the throne does not mean that Fourth Brother has no idea about that position.
It seems that they have been worrying for so long, and it turns out that the fourth brother has already thought of it.
When they arrived at the palace gate, the Fourth Master said goodbye to them, "Okay, I'll go back first, you guys go and do your work." After that, he got on his horse and rode back.
"Then let's go together."
The Third Master looked at their backs as they walked away with a rather grim expression on his face. He couldn't understand why the Emperor was so reluctant to give in when there were so many people in the court supporting him.
Did he really think he was unworthy of that position? Or did he already have someone else in mind?
"Prince Cheng..." Longkodo walked up from behind him.
The Third Master turned around and saw him walking towards him.
He quickly put on a smile and said, "Lord Longkodo."
Today he spoke up for himself in the court, and he was very grateful to him in his heart. Although this matter was not successfully settled in the end, with Longkodo's support, his chances of winning were still much greater.
"Prince Cheng, is there anything going on? If not, how about we go to the restaurant for a drink?"
"Of course, let's go. Today is my treat. Lord Longkodo, you can drink to your heart's content."
He could also take this opportunity to discuss the next countermeasures with him.
Fortunately, Longkodo had a grudge against the fourth brother, and this was all thanks to the deceased Li Si'er. Otherwise, if Longkodo had stood on the fourth brother's side, he would have had no chance of winning.

When Emperor Kangxi returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he became angrier and angrier as he thought about what had happened in the court.
Liang Jiugong originally wanted to follow in, but was waved away by Emperor Kangxi. He wanted to have some quiet time.
As soon as he came in, he couldn't help but mutter, "This third brother is really capable. He can win over so many people to support him."
"This fourth brother is also useless. There are so few people supporting him in the court, and he doesn't even say a word."
He sat on the dragon throne and pondered for a while. It seemed that the matter of appointing a crown prince was imminent, but he had to be cautious in choosing the crown prince. He thought of something, took out a memorial, and then picked up the pen and began to write.
The Fourth Master had nothing to do here, so he went straight to Zizhuyuan after returning to the mansion.
At this moment, an uninvited guest came to Wen Mianmian's courtyard.
Wen Mianmian was originally reading a picture book in the room when Shancha suddenly came in to report that Princess Nianhulu had arrived.
Wen Mianmian was stunned for a moment, then raised her head. "What is she doing here?"
Shancha shook her head. "I don't know, but Princess Niuhulu said she came to pay her respects to you, my master."
"Greetings?"
Why is she coming to pay her respects at this time? Besides, she is not the concubine.
"Then let her in."
Only then did Wen Mianmian remember that this Niuhulu family came from the same world as her.
She didn't know why she came here this time, but no matter what it was, she had to be more careful with her.
"Greetings to the Concubine." Niuhulu smiled with eyes as beautiful as flowers, which made people feel happy.
Wen Mianmian smiled and said, "Hurry up and sit down and talk."
"Princess Niuhulu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
No one comes to visit her for no reason. If there is nothing important, why would this Nianhulu come to her place?
"It's nothing, actually. I just haven't seen Concubine for a while. I just happened to have a new toy recently, so I thought of sending it to Concubine to see. Who knows, maybe Concubine will like it."
In fact, she just wanted to build a good relationship with the concubine.
She has been in the Fourth Master's mansion for several years and has seen clearly that the Fourth Master's heart is basically welded to the concubine. It is extremely difficult for others to interfere.
So she wanted to find a backer for herself. She couldn't rely on the wife, so she could only try her luck with the concubine.
In a few years, if the Fourth Master ascends the throne, the concubine will at least be a noble concubine. If I follow her, maybe I can have some prospects. At least my food and supplies will be well guaranteed.
Wen Mianmian was a little curious when she heard her say there was a new thing.
"What's new?"
Could it be that she has created something modern again?
Not to mention that Wen Mianmian actually guessed it right. This time, what Niuhulu made was something that only exists in modern times.
She asked the servant beside her to bring the box over, then opened it and took out a square object with a painting on it.
Wen Mianmian felt very familiar when she saw that thing, but this emotion was not expressed on her face. Instead, she looked curious.
"What is this? Is it a painting?" Wen Mianmian pretended not to know and asked with curiosity.
"No." Niuhulu took it out, and then completely disrupted the wooden block that was originally a painting, turning it into small pieces of wood.
Moreover, each piece of wood has a different shape, and it is clearly a puzzle made of wood.
And the painting above is also a very beautiful landscape painting.
Niuhulu picked up a piece of the scrambled wood and introduced it with a smile, "This is a puzzle. Now it's piece by piece. We just need to find the same corner of the pattern and put it back together."
She also gave a rough demonstration.
"This is very fun. Concubine can use it to kill time in her spare time. She can also paint her favorite landscape paintings on it, or ask the carpenter to make it."
Wen Mianmian didn't expect that Niuhulu was so smart that she could even come up with this thing.
"It's rare that you're so thoughtful. This is the first time I've seen this thing." Wen Mianmian picked up a piece and said with a smile.
