Liu Wanjun racked her brains frantically, trying to find a way to escape. She knew the prince too well. No matter how much he liked something, he would not allow this person to cross his bottom line. His bottom line was that he would never let down the people of this country.
"Liu Wanjun, don't worry. I can't save you. Even I will suffer the consequences along with you. Your father used my seal to cooperate with Prince Yong. It's clearly written in black and white. You just wait here. I will enter the palace now."
Just as the crown prince entered the palace, several princes who were currently imprisoned at home received a letter at the same time. The letter stated that the crown prince had collaborated with Prince Yong to privately print and mint coins, and attached evidence.
Originally, all the princes thought that this was an opportunity to leave the house and go to the palace to meet the emperor, and finally get great merit for reporting the crime. However, the second prince was no longer concerned about this matter. If they had received the news from the crown prince before, they would not have needed to take the risk and join hands with the queen to kill the three children, causing their own children and their own bodies to be buried with them.
The Second Prince was only interested in the suddenly revealed treasure mountain. Could there be an antidote for the poison in his body? He had always wanted to have another child. Who could accept not even having someone to worship in the future? This would be as evil as cutting off his lineage and grandchildren?
Besides, he doesn't have any children now. Only with children can he aspire to the highest position. Otherwise, he is just a disabled person, how can he ascend to the throne?
Even if the emperor agreed, the civil and military officials would not agree. How could they agree to let an emperor without heirs ascend the throne?
He did not take the emperor's warning to heart, because he was now obsessed with finding the antidote. If anyone could give him the antidote, he would agree without hesitation even if it meant sacrificing half his life.
As long as there is hope of healing his body, he will do it, not to mention disobeying the emperor's orders. Even if he is asked to rebel, he will do it. Besides, can a mere warning stop him?
The Second Prince's wife was kneeling in her own small Buddhist temple, burning incense and worshiping Buddha. Ever since she and the Second Prince lost their fertility, the Second Prince had gone mad and enjoyed torturing the people in the backyard every day. She was scared when she heard the screams of the women in the backyard every day.
The Second Prince's wife had the highest status, so she was not brought along when torturing people. In order to prevent herself from being harmed by people in the backyard, and also fearing that the Second Prince would go crazy and attack her, she simply hid in a small ancestral hall under the pretext of praying for her child, burning incense and praying to Buddha, and did not dare to go out.
After hearing about the treasure mountain in Qianmen Town, she secretly sent people there, but the number of people she sent was small, and they were disguised so that no one would know that their destination was Qianmen Town. She didn't think about how much she could get back, as long as it was useful. In that way, even if she had to spend all her money to buy it, she could still get it.
At this time, a maid was kneeling beside the Second Prince's wife, telling her about what had happened in the imperial city in recent days, the amount of money needed to repair the Second Prince's Mansion due to the earthquake, and the daily expenses and income required by the Second Prince's Mansion.
Listening to the incessant chatter of the maid beside her, the Second Prince's wife felt a little annoyed. Why couldn't her husband just be quiet and why did he have to sacrifice all her children?
"Cui Liu, tomorrow you will arrange for some people to go out and find some good-looking women for the Second Prince. Preferably ones with slim figures, and choose them according to the standards of Yangzhou's skinny horses."
Didn't the Second Prince like women? Then she could marry him to the mansion and enjoy this last revelry of his life.
She had to do something for her child. And the one in the palace, although she was her mother-in-law, her methods were too harsh. If they hadn't joined forces to kill the prince's child, his child would not have died.
As for the second prince, he is right under his nose. This is easy to deal with. He is in the palace.
Cui Liu looked at the Second Prince's wife in surprise. She never expected that the Second Prince's wife had actually given up her husband and started to let her husband go out to have affairs with other women, even going so far as to move the brothel into her home.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Cui Liu left the small Buddhist temple directly after receiving the task. The Second Prince's wife knelt on the cushion, raised her hand to look at the small Buddha above, but her eyes did not have the charity of a vegetarian who chanted Buddhist scriptures, but were full of coldness and murderous intent. She was not from a small family, and she knew many tricks of the underworld in the backyard, but she was unwilling to ruin her children's blessings. Now her child was gone, and she said that she could still be stopped.
Who could she blame? The Crown Prince? But this whole thing was caused by her husband. If he hadn't hurt the Crown Prince's child, how could such a disaster have come about? So she wasn't anxious.
None of these people can escape. The Queen, the Crown Prince, and the Second Prince will never be able to escape.
At this moment, the Second Prince's wife had a ferocious look on her face, like a demon running out of hell, and the madness in her eyes was enough to scare people to death.
But after a while, his expression became peaceful, his eyes were full of kindness, and he took out three incense sticks from the shrine and respectfully offered them to the little Buddha.
Then she took out the Sutra of Rebirth and recited it slowly. She lived her whole life only for her children.
After the prince entered the palace, he knelt down in front of the imperial study and reported directly to the emperor what the princess and her father had done. He could not handle this matter and could only wait for the emperor to deal with it.
