Qu Moying is bedridden.
The British palace also calmed down.
Both Prince Jing's Mansion and the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace sent people to visit the patient, but the Crown Princess and Prince Jing's Consort did not come because they were rejected.
Yes, it was rejected.
The Crown Princess and the Princess Jing were rejected on the grounds that Princess Ying was seriously ill and could not be received. There was nothing they could do but send gifts, but it was inconvenient for the people to come.
Although this matter caused some controversy within the royal family, it was eventually left unresolved, and no one dared to complain to Pei Yuanjun that it was unreasonable. The Prince of Ying's Palace suffered a great loss this time, and the King of Ying was furious at the time. Whoever went there would be in trouble, and no one dared to go up and vent his anger.
It's not you who is embarrassed.
Neither the Crown Prince nor King Jing said anything. If they say anything else, wouldn't they just be asking for trouble
With such a big thing happening, the Prince of England's Palace and the Qu's Palace are going to break off their relationship. If these people dare to go and tell them, they may make the King of England very angry.
The King of England had a gloomy expression for several days in a row. Although he looked relatively gentle, the gloom in his eyes made it clear to many people that the King of England was angry, and it was best for everyone not to say anything about this matter.
As a result, Qu Zhizhen's illness was like a passing cloud, and did not cause the slightest stir in the court, as if everything was as it should be. No one dared to discuss the matter in the court, and no one would whisper in the corner where the King of England could see it, for fear of causing the King of England to misunderstand.
When the court officials left the court, they tried to speak normally and avoid whispering.
In short, some people originally wanted to watch the joke in secret, but in the end they found that no one dared to ask the King of England for help. Instead, some people felt that the prince was too weak and incompetent. The King of England did not give him face, but he did not say anything. He was really useless.
As for Prince Jing, does the trouble caused by the women in Prince Jing's mansion have anything to do with Prince Jing
These two... are really not that good.
However, the King of Wei was in very poor health. Otherwise, with his temperament and talents, he might be more suitable than the previous two.
As for the Prince of Yan, like the previous Kings of England, he was rarely in the capital, and people did not have high expectations of him. His temperament was also a little too tough, which was just right for a general, but as a king, he always felt that something was missing.
At this moment, suddenly a piece of news came that the emperor's son who had been away from home was found.
It’s in the Jiangnan area.
As soon as this news came out, the previous affairs between the Prince of Ying's Palace and the Qu Mansion were immediately diluted. Since it concerned the direction of the dynasty, who would care about something that could not be discussed or said but only understood.
The Emperor is going to have a new prince, and I heard that the prince might be born to Empress Yuan. This... is a big deal.
Not only the court officials, but even the royal family were alarmed. Several old princes entered the palace overnight. It was said that the lights in the imperial study were on until midnight, and no one knew what was being discussed. Finally, during the court session, the emperor officially announced that he had a son, who was indeed born to Empress Yuan.
When Empress Yuan gave birth to a son in the cold palace, she was afraid that the child would be harmed by other concubines, so she asked her confidant to secretly send the child out of the palace. Since then, the child has been lost and has not been found. Fortunately, with the reminder of the Imperial Observatory, the Emperor followed the instructions of the Imperial Observatory and searched in that direction. Sure enough, he found the prince and is now preparing to go to Beijing.
All the officials in the court were stunned. This was such a big piece of news and contained so much information that no one knew what to say. Many of them glanced at the prince.
If there is really this
If there is a prince, then the position of the crown prince will be unstable. The crown prince ascended the throne on the grounds of being the eldest son, but what if this one is not the eldest son? When the crown prince was born, the Empress Dowager was still the first Empress. From the legitimate reasons, that one is the real eldest son.
He is also the future crown prince.
If the name is not right, the words will not flow smoothly. Moreover, the prince has been quite controversial recently. The ministers who originally thought that they should wait and see for a while now feel that they can wait and see for a while longer.
Although the situation was unclear, the Emperor's joy was obvious, and you could tell he was extremely excited.
It is hard to say how much the events of that year had to do with Empress Yuan, or who framed Empress Yuan. After all, the current Empress was only a concubine back then. Now that she has ascended to the throne and her son has become the Crown Prince, she has benefited the most compared to other concubines at that time.
An event may not be clear at the time and place, but after so many decades, the ups and downs involved seem very strange.
Besides the Queen, was Concubine He the one who benefited the most
Are these two really innocent
The fact that Empress Yuan was imprisoned in the cold palace and died in the cold palace is really the business of other concubines
With this thought in mind, more ministers began to wait and see. Regardless of whether they had previously sided with the Crown Prince or King Jing, they all felt that there was no urgency and the situation was not clear.
The queen is no longer unique, and the legitimate son is not the only one. If any one of them is true, the position of the crown prince will definitely be in danger.
Concubine He is no longer the only favorite in the harem. It was because of Empress Yuan. If Empress Yuan were still alive, would Concubine He still be favored
Now that the Empress Yuan is gone, the two of them are the ones who have benefited the most. The offspring they gave birth to were also the biggest focus of the previous fight.
It’s hard to say now.
The situation is still unclear, so we have to wait until the found prince comes to Beijing.
Everyone else was thinking about it in their hearts, but they still looked polite on the surface. They saw that the Crown Prince and King Jing were still respectful, even more respectful than before, but there was a sense of alienation in this respect. Even the ministers who used to be relatively close to them seemed to turn a blind eye to the closeness of these two people. They were respectful but not close enough.
The situation is becoming increasingly unclear, and few people dare to take sides at this time. Even if they had taken sides before, they would now make excuses for various reasons.
Pei Luoan watched several court officials politely salute him, but when he wanted to talk to them, they hurried away, as if there was some ferocious beast on him. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth secretly, and veins bulged on the back of his hands in his sleeves. In the end, he could only slowly calm down.
He turned his head and looked at the hall behind him, his eyes gloomy.
He is the crown prince, and has been the crown prince for so many years, but his position as crown prince has never been stable. Originally, all of this belonged to him, but so many people were competing with him for it.
What did I do wrong? Why did I have to wait so long to become the crown prince
The emperor was becoming less and less patient with him. If he had not taken action first, he might have lost his position as crown prince long ago.
He hates!
How could he not hate him? If it weren't for his father's coercion, he wouldn't be able to protect even a woman he loved.
But what made him uneasy was that the thing he was looking for had not been found yet. It was not in Ji Yongming's hands. So where was it
Who took these letters
Who is secretly spying on me and staring at me closely
After much thought, he couldn't find anyone else except Pei Yusheng. Pei Yuanjun was not in the capital at that time. Even if Pei Yuanjun was omnipotent, he was not in the capital at that time, so he could not reach him.
Apart from Pei Yusheng, there is only Pei Yusheng. If there is no Pei Yusheng, how could his position as the crown prince be unstable? Until now, everything is passive...
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." A voice came from behind.
Pei Luoan turned around, a gentle smile on his face: "Prime Minister Chen."
"Your Highness, I want to talk to you about what happened to Madam Ji in your mansion." Chen Xiang said with a smile and stood up straight. What he wanted to talk about was Ji Youran's matter.
"Please speak, Prime Minister Chen." Pei Luoan said with a polite smile.
"Your Highness, how about we talk while we walk?" Prime Minister Chen looked at the long stairs below. He didn't have much to say, so he could talk while walking.
"Please." Pei Luoan nodded and walked out. He was not going to see his mother today. He was originally going to leave the palace. Now everyone's eyes were on him, so he should be more careful and cautious.
He will not keep that person. What he needs to do now is to avoid suspicion. If anything really happens, it can't be blamed on him. For this reason, he will have to see his mother less often during this period of time. Even if he has to go to greet her, he can only say a few words, no more than that, otherwise his father will suspect him.
"The matter of Madam Ji of the Eastern Palace..." Chen Xiang coughed softly.
"She is just an ordinary concubine, please speak frankly, Prime Minister Chen!" Pei Luoan said lightly, and continued to walk down with his hands behind his back.
"Regarding Madam Ji's matter, the Emperor wants to inform the Ling Anbo Mansion." Prime Minister Chen smiled and agreed.
"She is so jealous and has such vicious intentions towards the former Crown Princess, so why bother telling the Ling Anbo Mansion?" Pei Luoan snorted coldly.
"This matter... is ultimately the business of the Ling'an Marquis' Mansion. The emperor means that the Ling'an Marquis' Mansion has made contributions to the country. Even if Madam Ji is like this, she must be sent back to the Ling'an Marquis' Mansion. After all, there is still the Madam Tai."
Chen Xiang said implicitly.
This means that Ji Youran's body should be sent back to Ling'anbo Mansion. The Eastern Palace can no longer accommodate her, but they can't just find a place to bury her casually. Even for the sake of the ancestors of Ling'anbo Mansion, this cannot be done, not to mention the face of the former Crown Princess is involved.
"If you must do this, it's fine, but... don't use the name of the former Crown Princess. I and the former Crown Princess are separated forever, and I don't want to make her feel uneasy with such a thing. Ji Youran is Ji Youran, and the Crown Princess is the Crown Princess. Even if they are from the same prefecture, they are completely different in my eyes."
Pei Luoan said in a deep voice, his eyes filled with sadness.
"Your Highness, I understand. The relationship between Your Highness and the late Crown Princess is different. If it weren't for your consideration for the late Crown Princess, this wouldn't have happened." Prime Minister Chen nodded gently.
"I'm glad that Prime Minister Chen understands. I'm just afraid that he will find it difficult to face the Crown Princess when he goes to the underworld one day." Pei Luoan pursed his lips, leaving deep marks at the corners of his lips, before he spoke.
Seeing him like this, Prime Minister Chen comforted him a few more words.
The two men left the palace together and got on their respective carriages. When they got on the carriages, Pei Luoan slammed his hand heavily on the table in front of him, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "This is too much!"
