Early the next morning, the prince listened to Xu Shoufu's words and went to the Zichen Hall to complain before all the ministers went to court. Although Emperor Zhengxuan didn't really believe what the prince said, he looked at the prince crying with snot and tears and was cold and hard.
After all, my heart was softened by the tears.
After all, he was his legitimate son and the crown prince. Even though Emperor Zhengxuan was furious, he only scolded the prince severely and then exposed the matter.
However, Yang Hefeng was not so lucky.
As a close associate of Emperor Zhengxuan, he participated in the party struggle without telling Emperor Zhengxuan, and now he framed a third-rank official in the court. This simply exposed Emperor Zhengxuan's treason. When the news came out that Yang Hefeng was detained in the palace by Emperor Zhengxuan, in
With intentional or unintentional hints from King Qi and Chief Xu, memorials to impeach him piled up like snowflakes on Emperor Zhengxuan's court case. Yang Hefeng's son, Yang Xiao, had been acting unscrupulously over the years and had been exposed for bullying men and women.
For a time, public sentiment was turbulent, and Emperor Zhengxuan was furious. He directly transferred Yang Hefeng to Dali Temple and strictly ordered Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation.
At this time, Mrs. Yang in the back house of Yang Mansion finally received the news.
However, along with this bad news came soldiers from Dali Temple.
Looking at the messy house, and thinking about her husband and son who were now trapped in Dali Temple, as soon as the soldiers from Dali Temple left, Mrs. Yang's frail body finally could no longer hold on, and she vomited violently.
There was blood, and he fainted when he tilted his head.
When she woke up, it was already dark and it was a mess outside. She shouted several times before the maid heard the noise and ran in.
"What's going on outside?" Mrs. Yang forced herself to sit up and asked.
After hearing Mrs. Yang's words, a trace of hesitation flashed across the maid's face, but she still managed to smile at Mrs. Yang, looked at her comfortingly and said, "It's okay, something happened. Sister Azi has already gone to deal with it."
.”
Mrs. Yang looked at the maid and didn't move her eyes for a long time.
The maid held on for a long time, but finally couldn't help but lowered her head with guilt.
Fortunately, Mrs. Yang did not embarrass her. She glanced sideways at the sky, and then said, "Did Uncle Yongning's Mansion deliver a letter?"
"Passed it."
"How long has it been handed in?" Mrs. Yang asked again.
"About two or three hours!" the maid replied again.
Two or three hours...
Mrs. Yang couldn't help but sneer at the corners of her lips.
Also, how could she expect Yongning Bofu to lend a helping hand? Although Yang Hefeng's surname was Yang, he was not born to Yongning Bofu. When he was glorious, Yongning Bofu followed him, but once he fell, Yongning Bofu would only be afraid of him.
He pulled away faster than anyone else.
"Madam." Just as Madam Yang smiled bitterly, her maid Ah Zi finally walked in holding a medicine bowl, "Madam, drink the medicine first!"
Seeing the tired look on Ah Zi's face, Mrs. Yang smiled at her, and then, without saying a word, she took the medicine she handed her and drank it in one gulp.
Her son is still waiting for her to save him!
Therefore, at this time, she must not fall down!
After drinking the medicine and calming down, Mrs. Yang looked at Ah Zi and asked, "Did my mother's family also deliver the letter?"
Azi glanced at Madam Yang, pondered for a while, but finally nodded, she whispered, "I also handed over the letter, but the old lady didn't do anything except telling me to take good care of you."
explain."
After saying that, she was afraid of irritating Mrs. Yang, so she glanced at her specially, but Mrs. Yang seemed to have expected it, and there was no wave on her white face.
"Is there anyone else in Jin Yiwei who we can use?" Mrs. Yang looked at Ah Zi and asked her again with an expressionless face.
"Jinyiwei..." Azi looked at Mrs. Yang in surprise.
"Go and call the housekeeper here. Tell him that I know that the master has left some people in Jinyiwei. You ask those people to come and see me secretly!" Mrs. Yang knew that Ah Zi didn't understand, so she just said it directly.
said to her.
"Yes, madam." After hearing what Madam Yang said, Ah Zi didn't waste any time, saluted to Madam Yang, and then quickly retreated.
Mrs. Yang pushed herself up and sat up. She looked at the increasingly dark sky outside, and her heart couldn't help but fall heavily with the sky...
At the same time, the palace of Prince Qi was full of joy.
King Qi specially held a banquet in the west garden of the palace to entertain King Duan.
"Fourth brother, thanks to your advice this time, you didn't go to court today, so you didn't see my father's face. The prince was so frightened that he trembled. He didn't dare to hum a word for a long time! Hahaha!"
Thinking of the prince's behavior in the court today, King Qi felt extremely happy!
Seeing King Qi's proud and happy expression, King Duan pursed his lips and smiled without saying anything.
Fortunately, King Qi laughed for a while and finally remembered that there was King Duan sitting across from him. He thought for a while, quickly reached out to pick up the wine glass in front of him, and said to King Duan with a sincere face, "Fourth brother, come, let me toast you to my brother.
.”
King Duan pursed his lips and smiled, and quickly picked up the wine glass, "Third brother, I also respect you, I respect you... You will achieve what you want in your heart as soon as possible."
"Hahaha! The fourth brother is still good at talking. Just to say this to the fourth brother, your third brother, I will drink three cups by myself today!" After King Qi said this, he raised his head and drank all the contents in the cup. After drinking, he
He hurriedly raised his hand to fill up the wine glass, and then drank it all. Repeatedly, until he had finished three glasses, he placed the empty wine glass heavily back on the table.
"Third brother has a good capacity for drinking!" King Duan smiled and praised King Qi, and then he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.
King Qi laughed and raised his hand to fill up the wine for King Duan. While pouring the wine, he sighed and said, "However, I am still a little worried about my brother..."
"Oh? Third brother, please tell me?" King Duan said hurriedly.
King Qi put down the wine pot, looked at King Duan, frowned slightly and said, "The minister of Dali Temple is from the prince's lineage, I'm worried..."
"Third brother, you are worrying too much! It is precisely because the minister of Dali Temple belongs to the prince that the father will hand over the case of the Yang family and his son to him for trial!" King Duan looked at King Qi with a smile.
When King Qi heard this, he immediately understood, "Fourth brother, you mean... my father wants to use this to test the prince?"
King Duan smiled and nodded.
In fact, more than just a test, the father's move was more of a warning to the prince and his party!
Although on the surface, the father will no longer pursue the prince, but after this incident, the prince has already recorded his number, and his father is always suspicious, so the prince's days in the court will probably be nothing.
Okay! Just wait for a suitable opportunity and you can completely overthrow him!
However, he was too lazy to talk to his third brother about this.
"What a pity, the prince will feel sorry for such a good chess piece for a long time! Hahaha!" King Qi laughed again.
However, rather than feeling distressed by the prince, he actually wanted to see how Yang Hefeng would react after knowing all this.
When he thought of Yang Hefeng being so aggressive in front of everyone that day at Yingtian Mansion, and repeatedly trying to prevent him from getting off the stage, King Qi felt a secret hatred in his heart!
Now that the prince has decided to abandon this chess piece, should he reveal the good news to him?
Thinking of this, King Qi couldn't help but twitch a sneer on his lips.
"Looking at Third Brother's appearance, do you want to go to the prison of Dali Temple and have a look?" King Duan only took a glance and immediately saw King Qi's intention.
After hearing what King Duan said, King Qi laughed and said, "No one knows me better than my fourth brother!"
It seems that they are still reliable brothers from the same mother!
Prince Duan also smiled and said, "Third brother, since you are going to Dali Temple, why not ask Deputy Commander Yang by the way? If he figures it out, it will be a good thing for us. You said it
?”
As soon as King Duan finished speaking, King Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Fourth brother, do you have any good ideas?"
He had been in contact with Yang Hefeng before. He was a rough-and-tumble man who didn't take hard or soft words. I'm afraid it would be difficult to convince him to betray him with just a few words!
"It's not a good idea, but third brother can try it and secretly bring Mrs. Yang into Dali Temple together." King Duan said with a slight smile on his lips.
"Mrs. Yang?" King Qi frowned.
The reason why the Yang family father and son ended up in such a situation is all because of his fueling the situation. Even if he wanted to help Mrs. Yang meet her husband's son once, I'm afraid Mrs. Yang would not believe him!
Prince Duan smiled and said, "Before tonight, of course it won't work, but after tonight..."
Prince Qi's eyes moved again and again, "Fourth brother, what are you doing again?"
He now looks more and more admiringly at his fourth brother.
"What can I do? It's not me who makes Mrs. Yang hit the wall." King Duan smiled lightly and looked at King Qi.
King Qi's eyes lit up again, and he echoed King Duan's words with excitement, "That's right! Mrs. Yang will definitely not sit still and wait for death, but the prince has given up on the Yang family and his son, waiting for her to touch
After my head was broken and bleeding, I only need to show a little bit of meaning, and Mrs. Yang will definitely cooperate with me!"
If Yang Hefeng was willing to identify the prince, he would not mind giving him and his son a hand.
Thinking of this, the smile on King Qi's face could hardly remain. He hurriedly picked up the wine glass in front of him and excitedly said to King Duan, "Fourth brother, come, let me toast you one more glass for my brother!"
"Thank you, Third Brother." King Duan pursed his lips and smiled, then he also picked up the wine glass.
By the time Prince Duan returned to Prince Duan's Mansion, it was already the end of the Xu period. The cold night wind had slightly dissipated the drunkenness on his body, and his concubine Li hurriedly came over after hearing the news.
"I have met the prince."
Duan Dynasty waved his hand to her.
Concubine Li stood up with a smile. She reached out to hold Prince Duan's arm and said to him affectionately, "Your Majesty, I will help you to wash up!"
King Duan nodded.
Concubine Li smiled and saw that King Duan's other arm was still being supported by the boy. She felt unhappy in her heart at that moment. She hurriedly gave the boy a cold look and waited until the boy let go.
Finally, a smile bloomed again on her beautiful face. However, before she could fully bloom, she felt a huge force coming towards her...
"Ah!" Following Li's scream, both of them suddenly fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty!"
"Concubine!"
Several exclamations sounded together.
Concubine Li's maid hurriedly helped Concubine Li up. Concubine Li looked at her scratched palms and burst into tears from the pain. She was about to cry to Prince Duan, but she saw Prince Duan's face was so painful.
Cold sweat broke out on my face.
"Legs...my legs..."
"Foot? What's wrong with the foot? Is it sprained?" After hearing what Prince Duan said, Concubine Li became anxious. She didn't care about her hand injury and struggled to take off Prince Duan's shoes.
But just as she stretched out her hand, King Duan's violent voice suddenly sounded over there!
"Get out! Get out of here!"
Concubine Li was startled by King Duan's roar. She turned her head in panic, but unexpectedly, she ran into King Duan's resentful and twisted eyes!
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Li shivered with fright and leaned into the arms of the maid behind her.
"Concubine Concubine, you'd better go back first! Your Majesty has servants here!" Prince Duan's servant saw that something was wrong, so he hurriedly said to Concubine Li.
Concubine Li's lips were trembling. Before she could wake up from the fright, King Duan's furious voice sounded again over there.
"roll!"
This time, Concubine Li didn't hesitate at all. With the help of the maid, she ran out of the yard rolling and crawling.
