Seeing the emperor disappearing from her sight, Concubine Feng smiled ironically, but she did not forget to shout anxiously: "Your Majesty!"
After the emperor left, Concubine Feng sent all the maids out to inquire about the news with a face full of panic, but in fact, after all the maids left, she lightly moved her lotus steps and sat in front of the makeup mirror, looking at her picture which was still intact after putting on makeup. With a youthful face, memories gradually emerged in her eyes, as if she saw that young figure through this mirror.
In the afternoon, news came out from the palace, and for some unknown reason, the emperor suddenly became furious at noon, and led people into Concubine Lin Shu's bedroom. It is said that they heard the quarrel between the emperor and Concubine Lin Shu coming from inside.
I heard that it was Prince Yan who came to visit the emperor in the palace, and happened to meet this incident and stopped the emperor, so that the situation didn't get worse.
But this time the emperor was really furious. Even though Prince Yan persuaded her, in the end Concubine Lin Shu was still demoted, her title was taken away, she was demoted to concubine, and she was ordered to be grounded by the emperor.
Even the Seventh Prince was implicated in this incident. After disposing of Concubine Lin Shu, the emperor ordered the Seventh Prince to be seized of the right to assist the government and ordered him to face the wall and think about his mistakes. However, the current physical condition of the emperor is obviously unable to handle the government affairs, so under the persuasion of Prince Yan, the emperor temporarily handed over the power of assisting the government affairs to the sixth prince, and appointed Prince Yan to supervise the country.
Other than that, there was no news from the palace, and no one even knew the reason for the emperor's sudden rage. Only faint rumors came out, saying that the emperor reprimanded Concubine Lin Shu for her wolfish ambitions and raised eagles.
In an unnoticed corner of the capital, a man was standing in front of the window holding a cup of tea, looking at the majestic palace not far away.
"It's the sixth one this time? Very good, since he really refuses to change his mind, then don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between father and son."
When he spoke, the cruelty in his eyes never disappeared.
This incident in the palace happened so suddenly, it could even be said that people were caught off guard.
At first, many people who thought that the Seventh Prince would sit firmly on the throne this time also began to lose sight of the current situation. For a while, people in the court were overwhelmed. Start watching.
The Seventh Prince, who is in the vortex of public opinion, is not as panicked as others imagined. He is drinking tea in a warm tea room at the moment. He is in the main seat, and Chu Ruofei and Chu Yan are sitting on the left and right sides of him. .
"This matter is aimed at me, and my mother and concubine have also been implicated this time." The Seventh Prince's tone was calm, and he could not see any emotion on this matter.
`Chu Yan looked at Chu Ruofei: "What did Uncle say?"
Chu Ruofei said: "The emperor heard that there were court ladies discussing privately with Concubine Feng. It probably means that they said that the next monarch will definitely be you, the seventh prince, so the emperor was furious."
As a monarch, especially a sensitive and suspicious monarch, it is not surprising to make such an action when he hears others talking about his son who will replace him on the throne.
The Seventh Prince snorted coldly after hearing this: "Concubine Feng? It seems that he wants to start doing something here."
Everything will not happen for no reason. Since it happened, it means that someone couldn't bear it and wanted to do it.
Just as Chu Ruofei was about to speak, he saw Chu Yan take out a letter from his arms and put it on the table in front of the Seventh Prince: "Let's take a look. I just got the news, and within a quarter of an hour I heard that something happened in the palace. thing."
Opening the letter paper that Chu Yan handed him, the Seventh Prince's face changed slightly, but fortunately he was able to control his expression: "It really is him."
After reading it, the Seventh Prince handed the letter to Chu Ruofei for a look. After reading it, Chu Ruofei looked at Chu Yan in surprise.
Chu Yan said lightly: "It seems that this time, all of us have been deceived by him."
The Seventh Prince said: "He hides deeply. He is planning to use that woman to eat us all in the dark. Now it's me, and it must be the sixth's turn soon."
Chu Ruofei looked at the seventh prince and said: "Since this is the case, then our plan has to be temporarily stopped. He is in the dark, and we are in the light. The most urgent task now is to find a way to lure him out."
The Seventh Prince sighed, drank a cup of tea in one breath, and showed unwillingness in his eyes: "It's only the last step to succeed, I am now... really unwilling."
Originally, according to their plan, if Qin Tong succeeded, that seat would be at his fingertips.
Chu Yan also agreed with Chu Ruofei's statement: "At present, retreating is the best way to advance."
The Seventh Prince also knew that it was useless to be unwilling, he sorted out his emotions a little bit, and then said: "In this case, let the people of the Zhao family not touch Concubine Feng for now, this palace wants to see, what exactly does he want? What are you going to do with Concubine Feng Gui?"
The Seventh Prince believed that his purpose was definitely not as simple as himself and the sixth child.
"The Zhao family can use it first." Chu Yan suggested: "The queen's eyes and ears in the palace are much more dexterous than ours."
What Chu Yan meant was to use the Zhao family to do some things first, and then use the queen's eyes and ears to do things for him.
The Seventh Prince had no objection: "You can arrange these things."
Chu Yan nodded in response, and Chu Ruofei suddenly asked, "Where is Concubine Shu?"
The Seventh Prince said: "My mother and concubine have never valued the favor of the emperor, and this time it will not be a blow to her. As for the food and clothing, I will take care of it myself, so there is no need to worry."
"That's good." Chu Yan put down the teacup, got up and said, "There's nothing wrong here, so I'll go back first. If you need anything later, send someone to look for me."
The Seventh Prince looked at the still bright sky: "What are you doing so early when you go back?"
"Go home to accompany my wife." Chu Yan's cold face coupled with these gentle words seemed strange no matter how you looked at it.
Chu Ruofei laughed and said: "He is a boy, he talks about his wife all day long since he became a relative, he must be looking at us two."
Chu Yan gave a rare smile, turned around and left the room with his sword in hand.
He has the qualifications to be jealous of himself. Thinking about the unreasonable guy in his backyard, the Seventh Prince has a headache.
Just when the two of them were relatively speechless, Chu Yan turned back again, stood at the door and said something that offended a dead man without paying for his life: "I will rest at home tomorrow, if there is nothing particularly important, you can handle it yourself. "
In other words, it's nothing too important, don't bother me and my wife.
