Chapter 340 The investigation of the assassination is handed over to the sixth prince
Dongfang Xueer bit her lip. She should have grown up carefree in a magnificent palace, enjoying the service of the palace people and being the envy of others. But she has not enjoyed it so far.
Whenever she thinks about this, it is impossible to say that she has no complaints about Concubine Dan at all.
It's just that she is in the Dongyi Palace and is unfamiliar with the place, so she must rely on Concubine Dan to live well. She doesn't dare to quarrel with Concubine Dan, so she can only keep it in her heart.
Concubine Dan looked at the palace servants serving her, but none of them looked familiar.
A stewardess came forward and saluted.
"Concubine Dan, the emperor has sent slaves to serve you. If you need anything in the future, you can give them orders."
"Where is the Emperor now? I have to go to see the Emperor."
She had to negotiate with the emperor personally to obtain the best interests for herself.
The grandma answered the question incorrectly.
"If Concubine Dan needs anything, just tell me."
Concubine Dan frowned.
"Is what I said so difficult to understand?"
If she had been so obviously dissatisfied more than ten years ago, grandma would have been so frightened that she would have knelt down to plead guilty. But the grandma in front of her just lowered her head.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty is very busy with official duties and has completely handed over your Majesty's daily life to this slave."
Concubine Dan understood that the emperor didn't want to see her. Well, it didn't matter if he didn't tell her, she could just go and see for herself.
Concubine Dan was about to walk out, but her nanny moved to block her way. The other maids who were serving her also lowered their heads and stood beside the nanny, blocking her way.
Concubine Dan said sharply:
"You are so brave! You dare to block my way. Do you want to commit the following crime?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has an order. Your Majesty has worked hard for half of her life. For the rest of her life, she and Princess Xue'er will have a good rest in the palace and stop running around."
Concubine Dan's heart suddenly tightened to her throat. Was the emperor planning to put her under house arrest for the rest of her life?
Her nails dug into her palms. If her plan succeeded, Emperor Dongyi would be grateful to her before it was too late.
She was just unlucky and faced those two monsters Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi, so was she going to be treated like this?
Thinking of Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi, Concubine Dan felt itchy with hatred. Those two people were the source of her failure. She really wished she could tear those two people into pieces.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
As soon as the sound of communication died down, Dongfang Muze walked into the palace. He waved his hand and asked everyone in the palace to leave.
When everyone in the waiting room left, he actually saluted Concubine Dan for the first time.
"Mother concubine."
"What are you doing, Crown Prince? Why do you, the majestic Crown Prince, need to salute this down-and-out concubine like me?"
Concubine Dan's words were filled with resentment unconsciously. Dongfang Muze was not angry, but explained nicely:
"My mother and concubine don't know that there are still many courtiers who support the eldest prince. If we don't be careful, someone will get us caught. All the hard work and planning that my mother and concubine have done in the past will come to naught."
Concubine Dan believed this. After all, Dongfang Chenze was the eldest son and had a good reputation.
"Are you serious about keeping us under house arrest in exchange for your own safety?"
"Concubine, please be patient and calm. When my son gets rid of Dongfang Chenze, I will restore my dignity to my concubine in an open and honest manner. I hope that my concubine will help me with all her strength."
After what she had been through in prison, how could Concubine Dan trust Dongfang Muze completely? However, getting rid of Dongfang Chenze was indeed the most important thing at the moment.
"What do you want me to do?"
Dongfang Muze was delighted.
"Mother and concubine, please don't make any noise during this period. You will be helping your son."
It was night, in the small courtyard, Jun Zifeng looked at the uninvited sixth prince Dongfang Huize, and raised his eyebrows slightly, but he actually found him himself.
"The Sixth Prince indeed has some abilities."
Dongfang Huize put the wine bottle on the table.
"Your Majesty, you have given me a reward. I am here to plead guilty to you."
Jun Zifeng made an invitation gesture, motioned Dongfang Huize to take a seat, and asked:
"What crime did the Sixth Prince commit?"
The guard brought two wine glasses with a wink. Dongfang Huize filled the glasses himself and raised one glass.
"It's my fault that I acted in private without consulting the Crown Prince. I hope the Crown Prince doesn't blame me."
"The effect is very good, isn't it? The Sixth Prince saved me a lot of energy, I should thank you."
Jun Zifeng raised the wine glass in front of him, the two of them touched it lightly and drank it each.
Dongfang Huize smiled lightly. Talking to smart people can make people feel relaxed and happy. He was afraid that he would have to spend more words to explain, but he didn't expect Jun Zifeng had already seen clearly.
"Assassinating the prince is a serious crime. Even if the father is given a lighter sentence, it is still a crime of being exiled or demoted to a common people. The Queen's family will not sit idly by and watch. Concubine Dan and her daughter are the best entrance to attack the prince. Wait until the situation escalates.
, even if Concubine Dan threatens the royal family's reputation, it will be of no avail."
Jun Zifeng also curled his lips as he listened to the sixth prince's words.
"Aren't you afraid that the Dongyi royal family's scandal will become known to the whole world?"
"Paper cannot contain the fire. Since it is an abscess, it should be dug out at the root as soon as possible and recovered properly. The more you cover it, the deeper the rot will be."
Jun Zifeng recalled Dongfang Chenze's attitude of wanting to keep the rumors away from the Dongyi Kingdom when he discussed this matter with the eldest prince, and he couldn't help but be even more impressed with the sixth prince.
Sure enough, Zhigao is no longer young.
"The Sixth Prince is doing everything he can with ease. I wonder if there is anything else I can do for you?"
"I also asked the prince's people to help spread the story about Concubine Dan to the world after the eldest prince's charges are settled."
He knew that people like Jun Lingyun must have spies in various countries. Since he had never thought of going against Jun Lingyun, there was no need to hide it.
"good!"
Jun Zifeng agreed without saying a word of nonsense.
Although the city of Dongfang Huize is quite deep, his eyes are as clear as spring water, and Jun Zifeng can feel his sincerity towards him.
The two of them seemed to have met their close friends and drank a few more drinks together.
The next few days were indeed as Dongfang Huize had predicted.
The eldest prince attempted to assassinate the current prince and was taken to prison awaiting trial.
The queen's natal family, together with the old officials in the court, appealed to Emperor Dongyi on the grounds that their eldest son should not be dismissed lightly.
He also used the incident of Concubine Dan to attack the prince. In order to protect his position, he directly directed and performed the story.
When he and the prince were having a heated argument, the emperor actually handed over the investigation power of the prince's assassination to the sixth prince, who had always had little sense of existence.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty racked their brains to guess the emperor's intentions. Could it be that the emperor disliked both of them and intended to reuse the sixth prince?
Prince Dongfang Muze was delighted to hear about this matter. He had witnessed the assassination of him by the eldest prince, and wasn't it the sixth prince who rescued him from the assassin?
The eldest prince Dongfang Chenze is sitting on pins and needles in prison.
Although he sent people to assassinate Dongfang Muze, he did not let them do it outside the capital. He clearly asked them to kill him from a distance and not let him get close to the capital.
And those city gate guards, when did he tell them not to open the city gate? How dare they frame him!
Where did the prince of Yunxiao Kingdom go? He went to look for it later, but he couldn't even find a trace of him. Could it be that he was being tricked?
Just when he was confused and confused, a paper ball was thrown at him. Before he could see who it was, the person had already walked away.
