When Xu Yan heard the news, he was scared and sweated. He could not sit still. He hurriedly asked someone to prepare a carriage to come to the Song family.

Seeing that his face turned pale, Song Wanyue smiled and invited him into the house and asked Song Yin to come out.

There are two Song Yin who look exactly the same, and even their temperaments are not different.

"This, this is..."

Then, Mingran.

This was prepared for a long time, so angry that he tapped Song Wanyue's forehead with his hand, "You girl didn't say it earlier, and I almost scared me to death."

On that day, Song Wanyue only told him that the second prince was holding the evidence of the third prince killing, but did not tell him that there were two Song Yins.

Song Wanyue obediently got this and gave Xu Yan a smile in a pleasing way.

No matter how angry Xu Yan was, he couldn't get it out. What's more, he wasn't very angry, but he was suddenly scared when he heard the news.

It soon passed half a month and entered the twelfth lunar month.

People are busy buying New Year’s goods and gradually forget about this.

The door of the Song family was opened again, and Song Wanyue and others went out to buy New Year's goods one after another, and they bought a lot of them every day. It seemed that they were preparing to go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year.

The atmosphere in the palace became more and more depressing. The emperor almost never set foot in the harem except for occasionally visiting Concubine Xiao Xian.

The concubines were very sad, and all kinds of bad words were heard, and every sentence was directed at Concubine Rou.

Concubine Rou could only stay in the palace and not leave.

On that day, the palace gate was suddenly knocked.

The palace servants working in the courtyard were so scared that their hearts trembled. One of the little eunuchs near the palace gate asked in a trembling voice, "Who, who?"

"We Empress Xian are here to see Empress Rou."

The little eunuch was overjoyed and ran over to open the palace gate.

Since the second prince was punished by the emperor to think about his mistakes, the empress's temper has become gloomy and unstable. These palace ladies are frightened every day.

After not seeing each other for half a month, Concubine Rou has lost a lot of weight, her cheeks have sunken, and she has lost the softness of the past.

"younger sister……"

In front of the palace servant, Concubine Rou forced herself to hold on without shedding tears, but her eyes turned red.

She knew that the second prince killed the third prince. She thought that the second prince had already handled the matter, but she didn't expect that there would be a fish that missed the net. When she heard the news, she was so scared that she almost fainted.

Concubine Xian patted her hand and signaled that the palace servants she brought to leave. Concubine Rou's manager saw that, and with the people in her palace, he also retreated.

Concubine Xian pulled Concubine Rou and sat down on the soft collapse, "The second prince is still thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors. My sister closed the palace gate like this and only makes people even more suspicious. I think my sister is still walking around every day as usual, so that she can suppress other people's gossip."

Concubine Rou opened her mouth. She didn't know if Concubine Xian knew that the second prince had indeed killed the third prince. She didn't dare to say something at this time.

"Sister might as well relax and think about it. Now there are only two princes left. The fourth prince is still young and cannot support the overall situation even in five or six years. Only the second prince can help the emperor. Even if the emperor is angry, he will not punish him too much. I guess at most it will be released during the Chinese New Year."

"Is what my sister said true?"

Concubine Xian laughed, "Sister, the emperor has four sons in total, and he lost two within a year. If the remaining two do not attend the palace banquet, how will civil and military officials discuss? How will the people discuss? Even if they want to block the crowd, the emperor will release the second prince."

Concubine Rou really didn't expect this.

When she learned that the second prince had thought about his past behind closed doors, she felt that the sky had collapsed, so she had no time to think about this.

"So, the position of the prince will be the second prince. My sister will not leave the palace at this time, so she is showing a joke to others."

Concubine Rou was enlightened by the words, why did she forget that the emperor could only count on An'er now. Even if An'er made a huge mistake, the emperor would not kill him.

"Sister really woke me up. I didn't expect this level."

Concubine Xiao pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister, this is a fan of the authorities."

"Good sister, I don't know what to say. Don't worry, when An'er takes that position in the future, I will definitely let him treat the Fourth Prince well."

"Then my sister thanked me first."

Concubine Xiao Xian went to Concubine Rou's palace and naturally did not hide the matter from the emperor. After hearing the report, she did not say anything and waved her hand to let someone retreat.

When it was getting dark, I finished reviewing the last memorial and got up and "putting the Kunli Palace."

When the sedan chair arrived at the gate of Kunli Palace, Concubine Xiao Xian received the report and hurried out to greet him, "I welcome the emperor."

The emperor pulled her up and took her hand into the house, "Are you going to Rou Concubine Palace today?"

"yes."

The emperor sat down and signaled her to sit down, "You are not afraid of other concubines talking about you."

"I just went to talk to Concubine Rou and didn't do anything else. What's there to say?"

"Then have you considered me?"

Concubine Xiao Xian was stunned.

The emperor picked up the tea cup and slowly fiddled with the tea leaves. "I have neglected Concubine Rou these days just to make her reflect. If it weren't for her indulgence, how could Chu An dare to kill his brother?"

Concubine Xiao Xian knelt down with her back straight, "The second prince has grown up. What he wants to do is not something that Concubine Rou can control. Concubine Rou is just serving the emperor wholeheartedly and has no other thoughts."

The emperor looked at her.

Concubine Xiao Xian's eyes were open and open.

The emperor suddenly laughed, put down the teacup and pulled her up, "You are so stupid. I did this not only to punish Chu An, but also to help Feng Er. Without Chu An's obstacle, the position of the prince is Feng Er."

Concubine Xiao Xian knelt down again, with a panic on her face, "Your Majesty, no!"

"oh?"

"Feng'er is still young and cannot take on the position of prince. I only hope that he will be a free and leisurely prince and live a stable life under the protection of the emperor."

The emperor smiled unintelligently, "That's how you think."

Concubine Xiao raised her hand, "I swear to the sky, if there is a lie, let the sky..."

"Father, son..."

The fourth prince's words came to an abrupt end, and the smile on his face instantly retreated. Although he didn't know what his mother's mistake had made, he also rushed over and knelt down, "I'd like to ask my father to spare my mother."

"Look, let the emperor misunderstand."

The emperor pulled Concubine Xiao Xian up again and explained with a smile, "I didn't punish your mother, it was your mother who wanted to kneel down."

It's me, not me.

This is the first time that the Fourth Prince has heard the emperor call him this.

The fourth prince looked at Concubine Xiao Xian in surprise.

"It was the mother who wanted to kneel down by herself. Your father really didn't punish her mother."

The fourth prince didn't know what to react.

The emperor laughed, "Get up too, my father has something to ask you."

The fourth prince stood up obediently.

The emperor signaled Concubine Xiao Xian to sit down, looked at the fourth prince with a kind smile, "Father is going to make you the crown prince, are you happy?"
