When Guan Yubai arrived at the imperial room, the emperor was talking to Lu Huaining. When he saw him coming, he nodded and signaled him to excuse himself.
Guan Yubai stood in front of the emperor, as elegant as the wind, and his eyes were gentle and calm.
"Give me a seat."
The people serving in the imperial study had already been sent away, leaving only Eunuch Liu. At the emperor's order, Eunuch Liu personally brought a stool for Guan Yubai to sit down.
The emperor looked at him deeply, and after a long time, he said: "Yubai, I don't know what to do."
The emperor looked a little tired, and his complexion was extremely gloomy.
Guan Yubai spoke slowly and said, "Your Majesty, please say nothing." His voice was gentle, as if it could soothe people's hearts, calming the emperor's mind.
"Yu Bai, I suspect that the person who colluded with Baiyue is my son." The emperor seemed to have exhausted all his strength to say this, and then sighed and shook his head.
"I wonder which prince the emperor is suspicious of?"
The emperor sighed again, "My third prince."
Even if the emperor wanted to believe his son, Han Lingfu was too suspicious. His concubine was a Baiyue saint, and when he was leading errands in the Lifan Academy, he had a very good relationship with the Baiyue envoy. , and now...it really makes the emperor have to doubt.
The emperor told Guan Yubai what had just happened, and then said, "Yubai, what do you think I should do?"
Guan Yubai lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, I must be honest, this matter involves a major matter, and I am afraid that His Highness the Third Prince alone cannot handle it. Unless..." He paused and said He said with deep meaning, "There are people helping him above the court."
"Help him?" The emperor pondered for a moment and murmured, "Could it be Marquis Pingyang?... Lu Huaining."
Lu Huaining hurriedly clasped his fists and responded: "I'm here!"
The emperor looked directly at him and said: "I asked you to send someone to keep an eye on Pingyang Marquis. Do you have any news?"
After Lu Huaining reported last time that Han Lingfu went to Pingyang Marquis Mansion two days in a row, the emperor asked Lu Huaining to send someone to keep an eye on him. Naturally, it was impossible for the Jin Yiwei to gain nothing, so he listened to Lu Huaining respectfully report: "To report to the emperor, Mrs. Pingyang Hou complained to her mother-in-law two days ago that the third prince always came to their house and wanted to beg for help. The Marquis of Pingyang helped him. But the second princess harmed her daughter and her son Xirong. The Marquis of Pingyang has long since severed all ties with His Highness the Third Prince. It is useless no matter how many times he runs away."
The emperor frowned slightly
What Mrs. Pingyanghou said was a bit "treasonous". Qu Jiayue's marriage was for the sake of the country and the people, and Pingyanghou's family was actually dissatisfied... Well, the emperor also admitted that the second princess did this. It's not true. It's normal for them to be dissatisfied. They just talked about it in private. The emperor felt that he was still a wise king and didn't care about it. However, according to Mrs. Pingyanghou, Xiaosan went to Pingyanghou, but Pingyanghou rejected him?
So it’s not Marquis Pingyang who colluded with the mistress?
The emperor couldn't help but think of Lu Wenzhao again.
The emperor was deep in thought, but Guan Yubai raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing Lu Huaining's report, as if he was a little surprised, but then a shallow smile appeared on his lips, and his breath became a little warmer. .
In this case, so what if he "helped" Marquis Pingyang...
"Your Majesty. In my opinion, the Pingyang Marquis Mansion only has a little prestige among the military." Guan Yubai spoke, his voice like a gentle breeze, "And this time, we will start with the imperial envoy, and then we will go to the court." Above, all civil servants used words and writing to criticize each other, and they tried to kill each other. As far as Pingyang Marquis is concerned, it should not be possible."
The emperor thought for a while and said: "Yu Bai is right. ... Who does Yu Bai think is more suspicious?" At this point, he looked at Guan Yubai with some scrutiny.
"Your Majesty." Guan Yubai said softly, "Rather than guessing here, it is better to give it a try and make it clearer."
"How to try?"
"Since His Highness the Third Prince is suspicious, the Emperor can continue to put pressure on him." Guan Yubai pointedly said, "In this way, if His Highness is framed, there will naturally be nothing wrong with him. But if the behavior is as the emperor guessed, then His Highness will definitely find a way to escape the crime, so all we need to do is keep a close eye on His Highness."
Seeing that the emperor was thinking, Guan Yubai continued: "Now in the court... no, there should be some panic in the entire capital. The emperor should not expand this panic any further."
The emperor nodded slightly and said: "...Lu Huaining. Send someone to guard the Third Prince's Mansion. If there is any change, they will report to me immediately."
Lu Huaining responded quickly.
After Lu Huaining left the imperial study, he quickly mobilized manpower. In just a moment, he had already secretly surrounded the Third Prince's Mansion.
However, Han Lingfu didn't know about all this. He didn't even know that the emperor was so suspicious of him. After he hurried back to his mansion, he immediately wrote a letter and ordered his close associates to take it to Pingyang Houfu.
Then I waited anxiously... but I didn't want to wait until the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the Laba Festival. Although the recent turmoil in the capital has made many people panic and many banquets have been suspended, Laba is an important festival after all. Can't help but get busy with it.
Zhennan Palace is no exception.
Early in the morning, the palace was filled with the fragrant smell of Laba porridge, and it was in this smell that Nangong Yue opened her eyes.
I wonder if Ayi has ever eaten a bowl of Laba porridge?
Nangong Yue couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she thought that she couldn't spend Laba with Ayi in the past two years, but she quickly told herself that their lives would still be long in the future.
This time during the Laba Festival, Nangong Yue had a relatively easy time. Xiao Fei thoughtfully shared her worries and helped her take care of many matters related to the Laba Festival. Therefore, Nangong Yue only had to wear the makeup of the concubine from her previous life and wait. Just give him porridge in the palace.
At this time, Baihui came.
Nangong Yue waved the people in the room to leave, and saw that Baihui was blessed and reported back: "Prince Concubine, Zhu Xing said that the letter from the young master has been prepared and will be sent to the third prince's mansion later. ."
Nangong Yue slightly chinned her head and said: "In a moment, you go tell Zhu Xing that there must be no mistakes in this matter." In fact, Guanyu Bai has the manpower to do this kind of thing, but Nangong Yue wants to Perhaps it was because A Yi was away now that he deliberately used this to express his position to those who were loyal to A Yi. In this case, she must let others handle this matter properly.
Baihui responded cautiously: "Yes."
"It's getting late, let's go to Wushou Hall."
As Nangong Yue said that, she went out and asked Lily to call Xiao Fei over.
Not long after Nangong Yue sat down in Wushou Hall, Xiao Fei followed Lily in a hurry, and Taoyao behind her was carrying a mahogany food box.
After greeting Nangong Yue, Xiao Fei said almost impatiently: "Sister-in-law, do you want to see the porridge box arranged?"
Nangong Yue thought it was Xiao Fei's first time in charge, so she was a little uneasy and said: "Sister Fei, just watch it." Anyway, both the pattern of the porridge box and the list of porridge delivery are the same as last year. You can follow it and there will be no trouble.
Xiao Fei's originally sparkling eyes seemed to have been poured with a bucket of cold water, and her whole person became a little wilted.
Nangong Yue then realized that she was wrong and quickly changed her words: "Sister Fei, I'd better take a look."
Xiao Fei suddenly showed her face again, and Tao Yao hurriedly opened the porridge box, and a strong sweet smell came out.
Nangong Yue smiled when she saw the porridge box.
In the porridge box, the patterns are still made of preserved fruits, lychee meat, cinnamon meat, peach kernels, pine nuts, red-dyed melon seeds, etc., but they are not the auspicious patterns of previous years, but changed to the three friends of Suihan. The composition is interesting. I know Xiao Fei put a lot of thought into it.
Nangong Yue smiled slightly and praised: "Sister Fei, you asked the kitchen to put this pattern, right?"
Xiao Fei nodded shyly, but Lily on the side couldn't help but cursed: This time, the kitchen is suffering. It takes so much effort to lay out a porridge box like this!
While he was talking, Que'er came in and reported: The Laba porridge rewarded by the palace has finally arrived.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei received porridge from the second door to express gratitude.
Xiao Fei not only ordered people to stuff red envelopes into the chamberlains, but also gave them a porridge box. The chamberlains were flattered and thanked them repeatedly.
The porridge cart in the palace left, and then went to Chang'an Marquis' Mansion and Xuanping Bo's Mansion...
Each residence in the royal capital quickly received the Laba porridge from the emperor one by one. However, at the third prince's residence, Han Lingfu waited for a whole day, until the sun set in the west, but there was still no waiter who gave the porridge.
Han Lingfu's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from his face.
Since I wrote a letter to Marquis Pingyang that day, there has been no news from Marquis Pingyang.
Now, his father did not give him porridge. Although it was just a bowl of Laba porridge, it was enough to represent his father's attitude.
I’m afraid that before tomorrow, everyone in the capital will know that he was not given Laba porridge. How will those people treat him then? He is a dignified prince!
Sure enough, his father was suspicious of him!
This thought made Han Lingfu feel uneasy. He could not imagine what would happen to him once his father knew about his collusion with Baiyue to frame the court officials!
He is a prince, and this matter does not involve rebellion. He should not be sentenced to death, but it is certain that he will never be favored by the Holy Family again. If that seat gets further and further away from him, it will be more terrifying and desperate than death for Han Lingfu...
Pingyang Hou, how on earth does he do things!
If he hadn't acted rashly, he wouldn't have ended up like this!
While Han Lingfu hated Marquis Pingyang half to death in his heart, he could only rely on him and continued to hope that he would reply as soon as possible and discuss countermeasures with him.
Han Lingfu was so distraught that he could no longer sit in the study. He opened the door and walked out. Facing the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month, he walked aimlessly around the house, through the courtyard and through the garden. , cross a small bridge...
I don’t know how long he walked, but when he came back to his senses, he found Xinghuiyuan appearing in front.
Xiaoer...
The figure of Bai Muxiao could not help but appear in Han Lingfu's mind. Her smiles and frowns made his heart flutter when he recalled them.
But thinking about the two of them breaking up on bad terms last time, he hesitated.
After hesitating in place for a moment, he finally didn't want to go against his original intention and strode into Xinghui Courtyard.
Several servants in the yard showed obvious surprise when they saw Han Lingfu, and quickly saluted Han Lingfu.
"Where is Concubine Bai?" Han Lingfu asked almost impatiently.
Several slaves looked at each other, and then one of the maids boldly reported back: "Go back to Your Highness, Bai... Concubine Bai has gone to Zhuangzi." After speaking, the maid's tongues had started to fight, and she was trembling. It was clearly the Third Prince who ordered Concubine Bai to go to Zhuangzi, why did she seem to have forgotten it now? ...Hey, what this master is doing is really incomprehensible, I just hope you don’t take your anger out on slaves like them.
Han Lingfu was in a daze for a moment, and then said to himself: Yes, Xiaoer has gone to Zhuangzi.
He looked around suddenly. The bricks and tiles he was familiar with in daily life, without Xiaoer, seemed like a shabby room, without any brilliance.
Han Lingfu walked out of Xinghui Courtyard without any care. For a moment, he didn't even know where he should go.
Without Xiaoer, he has something on his mind and has no way to tell it!
Why did Xiaoer just not understand his feelings and insist on saying that she wanted to leave him!
A flash of pain flashed in Han Lingfu's eyes, which eventually turned into a sigh...
"Your Highness..."
At this time, a gentle voice sounded behind Han Lingfu. Han Lingfu turned around and saw Zhang Yi standing not far away looking at him. Her figure was thinner than before she gave birth, and the cold wind was blowing. Her hair was silky and her blue eyes were even more pitiful.
"Place the clothes." Han Lingfu was startled at first, then walked over, frowning slightly and said, "Why did you come out without wearing a cloak?"
Pui Yi looked at him lovingly and said, "I haven't seen your highness for a few days, so... I came to see your highness specially."
Han Lingfu couldn't help but feel a little softer. Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes, he said, "Let's go to your place and talk."
Chang Yi Wen Wan responded, so the two of them returned to her Shuiliyuan together.
The room was burning silver frost charcoal, and as soon as I entered, I felt a rush of warmth. Zhang Yi personally served hot tea. After a few sips of tea, Han Lingfu's tense strings relaxed a lot. .
Cai Yi said with a smile: "Your Highness, I will give you a squeeze on your shoulders."
Han Lingfu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he saw that Zhang Yi had stood up, he agreed.
While holding his stiff shoulders, Zhang Yi asked tentatively: "His Royal Highness seems to be very preoccupied these days. Can I be a interpretive flower for His Highness?"
Not long ago, Zhang Yi received a letter from Atachi. It turned out that when Atachi went to deliver something to His Highness Kuilang in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment yesterday, he was rejected, saying that Emperor Dayu did not allow it. They hand random things in. Atachi was dumbfounded on the spot. It turned out that everything was fine. They would send some food every two or three days. After all, His Highness lived in prison and it was really wronged. But why could he suddenly stop sending food?
A Dachi felt that something was not going well and immediately ordered someone to deliver a letter to Bai Yi.
Han Lingfu has been in lockdown for the past few days, which made Zhang Yi feel a little strange. Once he received Adachi's letter, he became even more uneasy and couldn't wait to come to see Han Lingfu.
Han Lingfu couldn't help but sigh. After all, this matter was related to his alliance with Baiyue, so he explained the matter in general.
The pretty face of the woman who was holding the clothes stiffened immediately. Fortunately, Han Lingfu couldn't see her expression, and he still said anxiously: "...I don't know how Pingyang Hou did things, to be so careless."
It’s really useless! Bai Yi was annoyed in his heart, how could he be like this in a good situation, and he was still a prince, he was so cowardly!
Shang Yi asked with a worried look on his face: "Your Highness, what should we do?"
"We will wait until Marquis Pingyang replies..."
He and Pingyanghou are now grasshoppers tied on a rope. He does not believe that Pingyanghou will not worry.
Having said that, Han Lingfu still felt physically and mentally exhausted under this daily torment.
"Your Highness."
At this moment, Xiao Lizi knocked on the door and whispered outside the house: "I have something important to report."
Han Lingfu said casually: "Come in."
Xiao Lizi pushed the door open and came in with a happy face. He first took a look at the clothes, and then said, "Your Highness... Pingyang Hou has delivered a letter." He knew that the Third Prince, His Highness, had been delaying his visit recently for the sake of Pingyang Hou. I was anxious about replying to the letter. Fortunately, I finally received the letter, and His Highness should be in a better mood.
"Marquis Pingyang?!"
As expected, Han Lingfu was so happy that he stood up in a hurry and said impatiently: "Give me the letter quickly!"
Xiao Lizi quickly handed over the letter.
Han Lingfu opened it in a hurry. At this moment, his hands were shaking a little.
Han Lingfu watched attentively. Marquis Pingyang said in his letter that his residence was being followed, so he did not reply to his letter in time. He also said that the current situation was very unfavorable to them, and they must have a more favorable backer to speak for him in front of the emperor.
The person mentioned by Marquis Pingyang was Lu Wenzhuo, the chief minister of the dynasty.
Han Lingfu then looked at the second page of the letter and looked stunned. There was no movement for a long time.
The man sitting aside was waiting anxiously. When he saw this, regardless of whether it would offend him, he called out softly, "Your Highness?"
Han Lingfu came to his senses and held the letter tightly in his hand.
"Your Highness, is there anything wrong?" Zhui Yi looked worried, "...could it be that Marquis Pingyang brought bad news?"
"It's not bad news." Han Lingfu thought about it for a while, and finally said bluntly, "Marquis Pingyang said that the current situation is not too good for me, but it is not too bad. The chief minister of the cabinet, Lu Wenzhao, has always been quite He has the trust of his father, and if he is willing to say a few kind words in front of his father for me, everything will be solved."
Chang Yi was overjoyed, and asked with concern for Han Lingfu: "Then how can Chief Assistant Lu be willing to help His Highness?"
Han Lingfu stuffed the letter into his sleeve, raised the corners of his lips and said, "I will ask him to help us."
Although he had no interaction with Lu Wenzhuo, Marquis Pingyang told him a secret about Lu Wenzhuo, a huge secret!
Until then, Han Lingfu knew why Lu Wenzhao had spoken to help him during the morning court that day. In fact, Lu Wenzhao did not want to help him, but to completely defeat Guan Yubai.
It turns out that on that day, besides King Yan, the one who framed the official army and caused the official family to be destroyed was also him - Lu Wenzhuo!
I think when Guan Yu returned to the royal capital in vain and became more and more favored day by day, Lu Wenzhao must have had a hard time sleeping and eating. After all, she and he are on the same side, their enemy is the same person, and he will definitely help her!
"I'm going to the study first. You need a good rest. It's been cold recently. If you want to go out, you'd better wear a cloak." Han Lingfu said and walked out. He couldn't wait to write a letter to Lu Wenzhao. .
Looking at Han Lingfu leaving confidently, Zhang Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
There should be no problem, right?
It’s almost the first month of the year. His Highness Kui Lang has been away from Baiyue for more than half a year. The people in Baiyue must also be anxiously waiting for His Highness to return.
No matter what, this must not go wrong...
Dayu is so far away from Baiyue that Zhang Yi doesn’t know that Baiyue has undergone earth-shaking changes at this time...
Nuhar, the fourth prince of Baiyue, is about to ascend the throne!
At this time, Nuhar was being served by the chamberlain and was trying on the crown robe used for the enthronement ceremony. He also put on the gold lace crown and stood in front of the huge bronze mirror, feeling high-spirited.
From tomorrow on, Nuhar will no longer be the fourth prince of Baiyue, but the new king of Baiyue! All the subjects of Baiyue will bow at his feet. What a joy it is!
Who in Baiyue could have expected that such earth-shaking changes would occur in the court in just half a month!
There was a hint of satisfaction in Nuhar's expression.
After parting ways with Xiao Yi that day, Nuhar followed Xiao Yi's instructions and went to see the second prince a few days later to express his loyalty. At first, the second prince didn't take him seriously at all. A bit of hypocrisy. Nuhar understood in his heart and revealed the alliance between the fifth and sixth princes to the second prince. Of course, the second prince did not believe it until Tianyigong saw the evidence with his own eyes. The second prince's attack was like thunder, and he immediately surrounded the two royal brothers. The next development was beyond Nu Haer's expectation, that is, the second prince actually took action to kill the fifth prince.
The second prince rebuked the sixth prince for being ungrateful, but the sixth prince said disdainfully that he had known for a long time that the second prince had different intentions, and all he did was protect the throne for his eldest brother. Although the two brothers had a dispute, the second prince still couldn't bear to kill his half-brother and put the sixth prince under house arrest.
After the Tianyi Palace incident, news suddenly came from the palace that night that King Baiyue was critically ill.
Both the second prince and the third prince hurriedly entered the palace, hoping to obtain the throne of King Baiyue and legitimately ascend to the throne. Little did they know that they had fallen into Nuhar's trap.
As soon as the second prince and the third prince passed the palace gate that day, Nuhar led his "guards" to appear. He said "righteously" that the second prince and the third prince intended to force the palace to rebel, and showed no mercy. Kill the two of them.
As Dayu’s saying goes: When a tree falls, the monkeys scatter. As soon as they saw the blood of the second and third princes splattered on the spot, their cronies immediately abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
The fourth prince also knew in his heart that if the second prince and the third prince had not lost their right-hand men, then he might not have succeeded so easily! However, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This is the eternal truth. The most important thing is that he won!
When the King of Baiyue heard that he had lost three sons in one day, he had a heart attack before he could even breathe... Nuhar subconsciously wanted to call the imperial doctor for him, but he quickly hesitated... ...After all, as long as King Baiyue lives, he will never be able to ascend the throne.
That night, the King of Baiyue died!
The civil and military officials of the entire court had no time to react. In just a few days, they were purged by Nuhar with lightning speed. So far, no one in the court dared to question what happened on that day. .
No one can stand in front of His Highness the Fourth Prince!
The night gradually deepened, and the surroundings were silent...
"Your Highness, it's getting late. The enthronement ceremony will start early tomorrow morning. Is it time for you to rest?" The chamberlain bowed respectfully.
"I am not sleepy yet!" Nuhar's blood was boiling at the moment and he was not sleepy at all! Moreover, he was reluctant to take off this crown robe, let alone wrinkle it while sleeping!
He only hopes that tomorrow will come in the blink of an eye.
"You all go down!"
Nuhar didn't even bother to look at the chamberlain, and waved them away impatiently, but for a long time he didn't wait for the chamberlain's reply. He felt something strange, and was about to look back when he heard a voice so familiar that it gave him goosebumps. "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, you are so majestic!" There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone. .
Nuhar's body froze for a moment as if frozen. He slowly turned around and looked over. First he saw the waiter falling to the ground silently, and Mo Xiuyu crossing his chest with a half-smile. Look at him as if he is just a clown.
Nuhar almost didn't change his face, but he still held it back, took a deep breath, and looked towards the throne he dreamed of, only to see a beautiful young man with a pair of sparkling peach blossoms sitting there. Looking at himself with a smile, he apologized without sincerity: "I'm so sorry to bother Your Highness so late!" The young man leaned lazily on the throne, resting his right elbow on the armrest wrapped in white tiger skin, and with his right hand He held his chin and crossed his legs, feeling very uncomfortable.
