Yun Zishu actually likes to sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight.
The fight for the reserve is inherently cruel, and all parties will use all their methods. As long as there is a way to kill the opponent, there will be no mercy.
She calculated that the Xiao family was in trouble, and Prime Minister Wei and King Jing's party would never let go of this opportunity to deal with the prince, but she did not expect that Prime Minister Wei would take action so quickly.
Before dawn the next day, chaos broke out in the palace.
The prince had an affair with a concubine in the harem and was caught by the emperor!
This news instantly caused a storm in the palace, and the morning court was delayed because of it. The ministers who were waiting for the emperor in the palace were all wondering about the emperor's delay in coming, while the concubines in the palace were in high spirits, frightened, and watched the good show.
to watch a good show.
In short, they all understood that the consequences of the emperor's anger would be disastrous, so everyone stayed in their respective palaces and waited for the matter to ferment.
Because Yun Zishu lived outside the palace, she received the news relatively late. At this time, she had already had breakfast, drank a cup of tea, and was copying copybooks on a whim.
"The prince is having an affair with a concubine?" Yun Zishu stood behind the long case and looked at Leng Shuang who brought the news in surprise. She moved her hands and dropped a drop of ink on the clean rice paper. "Is the fact confirmed?"
Leng Shuang nodded: "Confirmed."
Yun Zishu pondered for a moment: "Is it related to Lianyue?"
"It's a bit related, but not much." Leng Shuang considered her words, "The lotus concubine went to visit the Imperial Garden in the evening out of boredom, and was met by the prince. The prince saw that she was young and beautiful, so he chatted with her for a few words.
I found out that there was a lotus character in her title, and I got a little excited for a moment, so..."
Oh, that does have something to do with it.
Yun Zishu pondered: "How did your father find out?"
"Last night, the emperor turned over the sign and said that Concubine Xuan Lian was at his bedside. When Yang Xi sent someone to tell the story, he found that Concubine Lian was in the East Palace of the Prince." Leng Shuang said concisely and to the point, "After Yang Xi returned, he hesitated and told the emperor about this matter.
As I said, the emperor personally took people to the East Palace."
Yun Zishu chuckled: "It's really a good show."
Concubine Lian has a low status and does not have her own independent palace. She must be living in the same palace with which concubine. In the evening, she went to visit the imperial garden? But the prince saw her again?
It so happened that the emperor ordered her to sleep with him that night.
If no one designed it, then it’s really a ghost.
Yun Zishu lowered her eyes and looked at the contaminated rice paper, and slowly put down her pen. A maid next to her immediately brought water for her to clean her hands.
Yun Zishu washed her hands quietly in the basin, "The prince will be deposed this time."
"Wu Guifei will also fall out of favor." Si Cang took the handkerchief and wiped her hands carefully. He lowered his eyes and looked at these long and fair hands that could turn clouds and rain, and he was fascinated for a moment.
The four words "turning clouds and rain" have always been mentioned, and they are mostly used to describe emperors and powerful ministers. Few people would apply it to a princess, but these plain hands did turn the world upside down quietly - the side that belongs to the prince
world.
"What are you looking at?" Yun Zishu noticed his look, "My hands are beautiful?"
Leng Shuang glanced at Sicang silently, then bowed her knees and left. The maid holding the basin also left wisely.
"Good-looking." Sicang's voice was low, "Your Highness is good-looking everywhere."
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows, turned around, walked to the side and sat down.
"Do you want to know the details, Your Highness?" Sicang followed, "You can ask Lianyue to come over and ask."
"No need." Yun Zishu was not interested in the prince's affair with the concubine, "I don't have much time to pay attention to these scandalous things. As long as we know who is dealing with him, we can guard against these methods in the future."
Sicang was silent for a moment: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will not let this happen to Your Highness."
Yun Zishu raised her eyes to look at him, then raised her hand to wave.
Seeing her move, Sicang squatted down and knelt down, but saw Yun Zishu reaching out and rubbing his head vigorously: "Don't be so arrogant in the future, always being 'subordinate' or 'meaningful', I think it's awkward."
Si Cang felt the temperature in her palm, and suddenly remembered what the emperor said before, the first to get the moon is the one who is near the water or the tower.
Xiao Yunheng's original plan of moving into the Princess Mansion was to win back Yun Zishu, but the fact was that he could not get much closer to Yun Zishu by living in the Princess Mansion. Instead, Sicang, the commander of the Shadow Pavilion, took advantage of his position.
, taking advantage of this.
Thinking of this, Si Cang suddenly felt that nothing was more convenient than the identity of Shadow Guard.
"Sicang, what are you thinking about?" Yun Zishu was keenly aware that he was distracted and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "The Commander of the Shadow Pavilion also sometimes gets distracted?"
Sicang came back to his senses, and a smile appeared on his lips: "No, I just feel that I am very lucky."
"Lucky?"
"Yes." Sicang nodded, "The identity of Shadow Guard can bring me closer to His Highness——"
Yun Zishu chuckled.
Si Cang's voice stopped and he looked at her silently: "Why are you laughing, Your Highness?"
"It has nothing to do with identity or distance." Yun Zishu said calmly, "Even if Xiao Yunheng stays with me every day and is not separated for twelve hours a day, I am not willing to look at him again."
Si Cang looked at her steadily, pondering over her words, feeling soft and happy in his heart.
Well, although this is the truth, Sicang still thinks it is better to be closer to her. He can see her every day, have meals with her, discuss business matters with her, chat with her, occasionally play chess together, and go to the garden together... In short
, as long as the person in his sight is her, he feels like he owns the whole world.
"Your Highness." Leng Yue stood outside the palace and raised her voice to report, "Steward Cheng said that someone came from Dali Temple and wanted to see the princess."
Dali Temple?
Yun Zishu was surprised, got up and walked out: "What are you doing at Dali Temple?"
"It is said that the fourth princess complained. Your Highness was the one who stabbed An Huaishan. The dagger was poisoned. Dali Temple sent someone to ask Your Highness to go to An's house."
When Yun Zishu heard this, she was actually silent for a while.
After all this time, Yun Zijiao is still thinking about how to deal with her?
"Ask Dali Temple, why do you want to settle down?"
"He said he was going to the crime scene, which was the attic where An Huaishan was stabbed."
Yun Zishu found it funny.
It’s like one wave after another.
After so long, Yun Zijiao suddenly thought of fighting back? Is it because taking care of a fool every day has worn out her patience and made her feel that life is hopeless, so she wants to make a desperate move?
"Your Highness the Princess." Aunt Ren hurried over and reported, "There is news from the Criminal Department that Xiao Yunheng is clamoring to see Your Highness."
When Yun Zishu heard this, her expression was indifferent and sarcastic: "Is there news from the Ministry of Justice?"
"yes."
"The Punishment Department is the head of the Xiao family?" Yun Zishu smiled coldly, "He is clamoring to see me, but there are really people in the Punishment Department who can help him pass it on?"
Aunt Ren hesitated: "It is true that the Ministry of Punishment sent someone here."
Yun Zishu said: "I rejected them and said that the prison area is dirty and I don't want to set foot in that kind of place."
"yes."
"Today is really strange." Leng Yue pouted, "Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment sent people over at the same time. One wanted to handle the Anjia case, and the other wanted the princess to go to the Ministry of Punishment... I don't know how they managed to win over these two adults."
Yun Zishu walked out and stood on the steps of the palace, looking at the distant sky with a look of alienation and mockery on her face.
When you are in the center, you have to face conspiracies and intrigues from all sides every day. This is nothing, you have to learn to get used to it.
