After having lunch and leaving Jin Prince's Mansion and getting on Yang Mansion's carriage, Xiaoyu saw Yulan's beaming expression and said strangely: "The girl looks very happy!"

Yulan touched her face and said, "Is there any?" She secretly blamed herself for not being able to calm down!

Xiaoyu nodded affirmatively and asked curiously: "What good thing happened to the girl?"

Yu Lan coughed and covered it up: "It's nothing!"

Xiaoyu picked up the kettle on the small table and brewed a cup of tea. She handed it to Yulan and said, "Didn't I tell you that I wanted to invite you to the opera? Why didn't I hear the gong?" She was led by the maid of the palace to drink in the side courtyard.

After drinking tea for a day, I am still confused.

"Oh, that's right, the singing today is a literary opera, without gongs or drums!" Isn't it a big drama between her and Ye Yichen today!

After Yu Lan returned home, Qi Shi sent someone to deliver gifts the next day, which were several pieces of fine silk produced in the palace. Yu Lan knew very well that the prince had borrowed Qi Shi's hand to give her gifts.

Yulan happily accepted it. Unexpectedly, in the next few days, the prince sent people to send gifts every day, including gold, silver, jewelry, fine jade, fabrics and antiques. They came in like a stream, and the entire Yang family looked at them. Yuxia knew

After hearing this, I was even more furious.

Yulan spent a lot of words to finally fool the eldest lady, and just as Qi Shi sent another message, Yulan hurried to the palace. Entering the small courtyard, he saw Ye Yichen sitting at the top of the table, enjoying himself.

Tea, he is wearing a purple robe, a golden crown with hair tied on his head, sword eyebrows flying at an angle, hair on the temples like ink, and the brilliance between his eyebrows makes people unable to take their eyes away for a moment.

Yulan sat on the chair next to him angrily: "My lord, you are putting me on the stove to roast me!"

The prince chuckled and said: "If not, how could you be willing to enter the palace gate again this time?"

"Ah? So you did it on purpose?!" Yulan had indeed made up her mind. If the prince asked Qi Shi to post to her again, she would find a reason to refuse. As a lady, she should always behave more reservedly.

, if it comes as soon as you call it and goes away as soon as you wave it, what will happen?

But she didn't expect that the prince had completely figured out her thoughts, and even used this method to force her to come to her door.

Yulan looked at his handsome and elegant silhouette, and secretly thought in her heart: This man is really terrible. If she really marries him in the future, wouldn't she be eaten by him until all her bones are left?

The prince smiled faintly and said: "You are a concubine, and your birth mother's status is not high. You have suffered a lot of grievances in the Yang Mansion. Since you have agreed to marry me as my concubine in the future, I will naturally not allow you to suffer any more grievances from now on."

, I’ll ask someone to deliver it to you

You need to use those things from the past first. Since you said that giving a gift like this is too eye-catching, it doesn’t matter. I have a banknote here. You can take your pocket first. If you need anything, just ask others to buy it. I won’t let you suffer.

It’s only when you feel aggrieved!”

After saying that, he took out a banknote from his sleeve. Yu Lan looked at the numbers on the banknote and was almost knocked unconscious on the spot: "One...ten thousand taels?" At that time, a first-grade official's annual salary was only four taels.

Five hundred taels of silver. Many young ladies from wealthy families only received a few thousand taels of dowry as dowries. The prince casually gave himself ten thousand taels of silver as pocket money. He was too generous!

There was a hint of joking in the prince's eyes, as if he was laughing at her for not having seen the world: "What, too young?"

Yu Lan stuttered and said: "That's enough, that's enough! But Your Majesty, is it appropriate for you to give me so much money...?"

The prince snorted and said: "I say it's appropriate! You have a younger brother with whom you have a very good relationship. If you are worried that your family will be suspicious, just give him the banknote and ask him to buy things for you.

I think he is quite a talented person, so you can rest assured if you leave it to him."

Yulan looked at Ye Yichen with shocked eyes: "Have you investigated all the people around me?"

Ye Yichen's lips curved slightly: "Isn't this the most basic thing?" The prince took a sip of tea and said: "If your fifth sister bullies you again, just tell me and I will find a way to help you deal with it.

she!"

Do you even want to intervene in the internal struggle? Yulan is already in despair. "You have a way to do this?"

The prince said calmly: "Don't underestimate your prince's ability!" Besides being unable to have children, what can't your prince do?

Yulan shook his hand: "No, I didn't mean that..." I just think that you are a bit unworthy of victory!

This time she finally understood what he said that day: "But as long as you have me, I will make you happy! I will never let you suffer any injustice!" What does it mean? There is such a person.

Pampering her, giving her money, and supporting him, it's really...happy!

Imperial Study Room of Qianqing Palace.

The orthodox emperor sitting behind the desk asked: "I asked you to investigate the Heishigou assassination incident, but there is still no result? Is this matter done by the sixteenth brother?"

Prince Consort Wang You knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is no progress at all. Those traitors are very cunning and did not leave any useful clues. The humble ministers are stupid. They searched here and there but found nothing! Your Majesty, please

The crime of punishing ministers!"

Zhengtong sighed and said: "Since they dared to do such a treasonous thing, they must have planned it carefully. It's normal that you didn't find out the result. Get up. I know you are loyal, so I won't blame you. Hey,

I’m tired too, you go down first!”

Wang You breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed again, and then walked backwards out of the imperial study. As soon as Wang You left, Wang Ying walked in with a bowl of bird's nest porridge: "Your Majesty, you only had a little breakfast.

After another busy morning, the slave called

We have stewed bird's nest porridge in the small kitchen, do you want to eat some first?" Since the emperor returned to the Forbidden City, he has been having trouble sleeping and sweating at night. His health is getting worse day by day, but he has not had any problems after taking the imperial doctor's prescription.

Great use.

The emperor looked at the bowl of steaming bird's nest porridge. He had hardly eaten anything in the morning, but now he didn't feel hungry at all. He waved his hand and said: "Take it down, take it down, I have no appetite!"

Wang Ying had no choice but to hand the bird's nest porridge to the little eunuch aside to take it down. He stood behind the emperor and gently beat his back. The emperor asked: "What's going on in Beijing these days?"

In addition to serving the emperor, Wang Ying is also the eunuch of Dongchang. He has a large number of secret spies and is the emperor's eyes and ears in the capital. Wang Ying said carefully and authentically: "Long live the Lord, there is nothing else, just the common people."

In gratitude to the Sixteenth Prince for protecting the capital, many villages are voluntarily raising funds to build a shrine for him!"

After the emperor heard this, he tightly grasped a seal on the desk with one hand, and his knuckles turned white from the force he exerted: "Aren't there people who are sensible and polite enough to build a shrine for me?"

Wang Ying murmured for a long time, not daring to speak.

Zhengzheng understood everything and sighed: "Now the people in the world only know that there is King Jin, but they don't know that there is an emperor. What can they do? Hey..."

The emperor sighed, and Wang Ying remembered what Xiao Zongchang asked him to say in front of the emperor, and he dared to say: "Your Majesty, although the prince has made great contributions, he has now happily handed over the military power. I think that the soldiers on the Black Rock Valley

Maybe someone framed the traitor and put the blame on the prince! I see, apart from the Sixteenth Master, others are also suspected!"

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Is the person you are talking about the prince?"

"I dare not, your Majesty, forgive me!" Wang Ying knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. As an eunuch, he did not dare to speak out against the Crown Prince. It was most appropriate for the Emperor to say these words.

There was a hint of coldness in the emperor's voice: "Are you trying to say that if the Heishigou assassination is successful, the biggest beneficiary will be the prince! So the biggest suspect in this matter is not the sixteenth brother, but the prince who I personally appointed

.Isn’t it, huh?”

Wang Ying kowtowed repeatedly, and his forehead was already black and blue. He kept following the emperor, thinking that the emperor was becoming more and more disappointed with the prince, and seemed to have some intention of abolishing the prince. Only then did he follow Xiao Zongchang's instigation.

He wanted to instigate a relationship between the prince and the emperor. But unexpectedly, he fell into someone else's trap.

The emperor slammed the table and said angrily: "Bold slave, someone told me before that you were doing mischief outside, bullying the people, insulting the ministers, and even saying that you were bribed to frame the prince. I didn't believe it at first, but it turned out that you were bribed by others to frame the prince.

It’s all true.”

"Come here, drag this eunuch down, beat him with forty boards, and send him to Xiaoling in Nanjing to grow vegetables!"

"Yes!" Several guards rushed in outside the door. They couldn't help but explain, and they held him and walked out. "Your Majesty, spare your life. I'm wronged. I'm wronged. I'm wronged!" Wang Ying shouted repeatedly, but was given a hard blow by the leading eunuch.

One mouth said: "Asshole, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of the emperor!"

Wang Ying raised her head, and the person in front of her was Meng Chong. His usually gentle face was now full of hatred and contempt. He thought that he had been fighting with him for several years, but in the end he lost to this silent and wilting man.

In the hands of Ba Huai's old eunuch, Wang Ying felt her blood surge and her eyes turned blood red.

Meng Chong's face was full of pride. Wang Ying had always wanted to replace him, but today he was finally defeated by him, and he couldn't help but feel extremely proud. All this must be thanked to Concubine Hui of Jingyang Palace!

Wang Ying was dismissed from all positions in the inner court. He was finished. Soon, the news spread throughout the harem. In Chengqian Palace, Concubine Xiao was so angry that she smashed an antique porcelain from the previous dynasty: "Wang Ying, this idiot, I am

The palace gave him so much support, but he couldn't even fight against the stupid Meng Chong. Not only did he do bad things this time, but he also made the emperor suspicious of King Zhao and the Xiao family. It's really more than success, more than failure!"

In Jingyang Palace, Concubine Hui's personal female officer Qiu Tong was fanning her. When she heard the news of Wang Ying's expulsion, Concubine Hui just opened her eyes and closed them again. Qiu Tong was her true confidant.

He whispered: "The empress has a clever plan, and Wang Ying is really doomed this time!"

Concubine Hui's voice was very soft and she said calmly: "It's all thanks to the prince who helped us collect enough evidence to overthrow Wang Ying. If it were any other day, even if Wang Ying was guilty, the emperor would never take it easy.

punishment,

It’s just that now that the Sixteenth Master has achieved great success, the Emperor is worried and afraid that the throne will be unstable. Wang Ying is making money everywhere in the name of the Emperor. That’s why the Emperor is so angry! That’s why the words I taught Meng Chong are so effective!”

Qiu Tong hurriedly flattered him and said: "The empress has a thorough understanding of Youwei and has accurately calculated the emperor's thoughts. Only with this one hit can Wang Ying no longer have the possibility of turning over, and it has also greatly dealt a blow to the Xiao Party's power!"
