After the emperor left, the others naturally would not stay and left one after another. Bu Shulin, who deliberately fell behind, could not help but turn around and clasped his fists to Shen Xihe to show his admiration.
Bu Shulin was not the only one who admired Shen Xihe. Anyone with a little bit of shrewdness knew that the An family was the emperor's confidant, so how could they dare to climb into his bed? Otherwise, the whole family would be despised by his emperor. Since it was not the An family who wanted to climb into his bed, then his emperor and even the An family were framed.
Who would plot against An and involve His Majesty at this moment? The answer is self-evident. The Crown Princess is not only bold and scheming, but also ruthless enough. Look at what happened to the two girls who showed their favor to His Majesty
A Tibetan princess of noble status was hung in the wilderness, exposed to the cold wind all night; the only daughter of a protector general with a large number of troops under her command lost her innocence and was accused of having an affair with the emperor, implicated the interests of her entire family, and was in danger of losing her life.
It made people shudder, and they all thought about going back to warn their girls not to have any inappropriate thoughts about the Eastern Palace, and to be careful not to be used by others to become pawns in the game between the emperor and the Eastern Palace.
No matter whether it is the emperor who has the power of life and death, or the concubine who openly dares to challenge Your Majesty, they are not people they can afford to offend.
The most frightened person in this incident was Pingyao Hou. He was entrusted by An Erlang to hunt the sika deer, so he could provide the deer antler blood to His Majesty. As soon as he returned to their courtyard and closed the door, Pingyao Hou said to his son in a stern voice: "You almost dragged the whole marquisate into trouble with what happened today!"
"Father, how could I be so foresighted and foresee such a far-reaching matter?" The Prince of Pingyao Marquis felt a little aggrieved. It was just an ordinary matter. He took a fancy to An Erlang's ginseng and helped An Erlang hunt a sika deer.
This kind of thing is very common. Although the two families are not aristocratic families, they are both important officials in the court. They come to the door to ask for help and bring generous gifts. Even if they are not greedy for ginseng, it is difficult to refuse.
Pingyao Hou thought about it and felt that his son should not be blamed. However, when he thought about An's fate and the ingenuity of the Crown Princess's plan, even this old guy who had been immersed in the officialdom for decades felt horrified.
Each step seems ordinary enough to make people less prepared; each step is extremely delicate, and the links between them form a dead end that is difficult for both the victim and those implicated to detect before the incident.
By the time they were discovered, they had already been tied up tightly and could hardly break free.
Taking a deep breath, Pingyao Hou turned around and instructed his daughter who was following behind him in silence: "Second Mother, you are about to marry into the royal family. The Yu family has always been loyal to His Majesty. His Royal Highness Prince Zhao does not look like a thoughtless person. If you can persuade him more, please do so."
The Crown Princess, the Crown Princess has only one thing left to announce to the world that she does not even care about His Majesty. She is so ostentatious to tell everyone her ambition. To her, the Crown Princess is just the beginning.
He is so meticulous and ruthless, and he has the Northwest behind him. Thinking that the Northwest is now completely in the hands of Shen Yueshan and his son, and the secret agents that His Majesty has painstakingly cultivated for many years have been completely eliminated, Pingyao Hou felt that the situation was not good.
Your Majesty seems to be in the prime of his life, but in fact, he has suffered many hidden injuries from numerous battles and is already beginning to fade away. However, the Crown Princess is like the rising sun, unstoppable. When two tigers fight, one of them is bound to be injured. After this incident, I am afraid no one dares to judge who will win or lose.
