Jiang Yunxu only found out about the death of Emperor Lingzhou in the evening, and he was shocked.
"Really dead?"
Yin Lei nodded solemnly: "The capital is already holding a national funeral, there is absolutely no way it is fake."
Recalling what Emperor Lingzhou had done, Jiang Yunxu sneered. After all, he had spent his whole life working for that position, but in the end he was tricked.
"Now the situation in the palace has been reversed and the Queen Mother is in control. King Qing is in charge of the affairs of the country. Prime Minister Jiang controls the outside of the capital and has united all civil and military officials to ask the young prince to ascend the throne as emperor."
Jiang Yunxu recalled that she had treated the little prince before. He was a small, well-behaved and sensible man. He sighed: "The Queen Mother may not be able to let the little prince go..."
"The Queen Mother cares about face, so she dare not do anything to the young prince for the time being." Chu Xuangzhi walked over in black cloth, holding a riding whip in his hand, and threw it to the guard behind him.
"The Emperor's death was strange. He was still alive after being unconscious for two days. It happened that the Queen Mother died as soon as he entered. The Queen Mother cannot clear up the matter. If something happens to the little prince, the Queen Mother will not be able to explain it."
Chu Xuanzhi came to her: "The Queen Mother still has to worry about me, for fear of losing the support of the people and losing more than the gain, so the little prince will not be in danger for a while."
After saying this, Jiang Yunxu breathed a sigh of relief.
As for why Prime Minister Jiang supported the young prince, it was simply because he offended King Qing and King Xuan, so he could only choose the younger prince.
"What does the prince plan to do next?"
Now there are three people fighting for a position.
Chu Xuanzhi was silent for a while and then said: "The emperor has passed away, and I should return to the capital both emotionally and rationally."
It would be too unfriendly for him not to go back.
As for when he will come back, the war is not over yet, and Chu Xuanzhi can come back at any time.
"How long can Prince Xiangya hold on?" Jiang Yunxu was worried that the other party would actually take the opportunity to attack.
Prince Xiangya has not entered the palace for a long time, so Emperor Xiangya will become suspicious.
Chu Xuanzhi glanced at Jiang Yunxu with admiration and said with a smile: "If you were a man, maybe you would be my most powerful opponent."
This is no joke, everyone says that Jiang Yunxu is a tough and dandy guy, but what he knows is that he is bold and careful, very smart, and there are traces to follow in every step he takes.
Jiang Yunxu's face turned red after being praised, and at that moment Hongqiao winked at her.
So Jiang Yunxu found a reason to leave.
Chu Xuanzhi also went about his own business, because Emperor Lingzhou passed away suddenly, which disrupted many plans and arrangements, and he had to stabilize people's hearts as soon as possible.
"What's wrong?"
"The slave told the little donkey to watch Haitang. Although she didn't find anything wrong with Haitang, she caught Aunt Tan instigating several young and beautiful maids to seduce the prince behind his back. She also figured out the prince's daily itinerary and the route he must take.
, the little donkey has detained a maid, Cai Die, today."
Jiang Yunxu raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect Aunt Tan to have such thoughts?
"Where's the Butterfly Man?"
"It's in the backyard. This slave has taken the initiative and used punishment on his own initiative. He has already been punished."
When Jiang Yunxu entered the door, she saw Cai Die kneeling on the ground crying. Her face was extremely red and swollen, and she was hesitant and unable to speak clearly.
"Go and bring Aunt Tan up."
She no longer has the patience to play cat and mouse with Aunt Tan.
After a while, Aunt Tan came, and when she saw Cai Die kneeling on the ground, she was stunned for a moment, and then when she saw the viciousness in Jiang Yunxu's eyes, her heart sank, and she pretended to be confused: "Princess, are you looking for a slave?
"
"Princess, it's just that... Aunt Tan took three taels of silver from the slave and said that she would teach the slave to seduce the prince." Cadie was timid and directly betrayed Aunt Tan.
Aunt Tan immediately argued: "Nonsense, you are clearly asking me for help, I didn't teach you!"
Seeing that Aunt Tan had left her clean, Caidi became anxious and immediately said all the words that Aunt Tan had taught her.
"Princess, Aunt Tan said that the prince is not young anymore. The princess has been married for some time, but she has never given birth to a child. She also said that the princess is ugly and cannot be used by the prince. Sooner or later, she will be disliked by the prince. Who can
If I can give birth to the prince's eldest son, he will surely prosper in the future."
Aunt Tan's heart dropped when she heard this, and she scolded Cai Die for being a fool.
"Aunt Tan, I didn't know that you still have time to worry about the affairs in the palace's backyard?" Jiang Yunxu had long been unhappy with Aunt Tan, but because she came from the palace of Concubine Wan, she didn't make any big mistakes.
You can only turn a blind eye.
"I don't dare." Aunt Tan was heartbroken. She thought to herself that she didn't say anything wrong. If she really brought this matter to the attention of the prince, the prince would not punish her.
