Chapter 428

In the year of 316 in Kyoto, Nangong Yizhi brought back 20,000 soldiers from Rongcheng. After confirming that they were secretly trained by the Seventh Prince Qin Xuanting, the emperor personally issued an order to clean up Shangguan Shaochen's grievances.

The seventh prince, Qin Xuanting, died in prison. Although the murderer had been found, he attempted to rebel, which was an unforgivable crime. The emperor ordered that his tablet not be allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum, but thinking that his family was innocent, he would not destroy the nine clans, and take back the seventh prince's mansion. All rights.

As for the 20,000 soldiers, the emperor did not make a definite ruling, but I heard that some people said that the emperor had secretly killed them, after all, they were all rebels; but others said that the emperor organized them into a secret army. Follow his orders alone.

In short, after these two imperial decrees were issued, not only the civil and military affairs of the court, but also the streets of Shijing were full of discussions, but it is fortunate that everyone finally no longer doubted Shangguan Shaochen's loyalty and character. And those who despised him seemed to change their appearance overnight, leaving only more and more respect for the second prince.

As for Concubine Min, it is rumored that she fainted on the spot when she heard that the tablets of the Seventh Prince were not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum, and even had a high fever for three nights. But the emperor didn't summon him, and it rained and sleeted that night.

"Why is it so late today?"

Ling Mu'er waited at the door for a long time before seeing Shangguan Shaochen come back. She hurriedly asked the servant to light the heater, and then she personally hugged the warm bag and stuffed it into his arms. Seeing Nangong Yizhi following behind him, she frowned , "Do you have nowhere to go? Why do you run here every day?"

He originally planned to complain to his cousin, but when he heard this, Nangong Yizhi was instantly upset.

"Hey, you stinky girl, what do you mean? The second prince is my cousin. What's wrong with me visiting my cousin's house?" Although he said this, he didn't wait for his cousin to speak. Already consciously walked in.

"Of course you can be a guest, but no one comes to be a guest every day. Those who don't know think you are an unwanted little brat!" Ling Muer rolled his eyes at him, deliberately teasing him.

"This son is also one of the best sons of the famous family in the capital, what did you just say?" Nangong Yizhi's handsome face completely darkened, "Little brat?"

"I only have my cousin in my eyes. Wherever I go, my cousin is longer and my cousin is shorter. If you are a girl, I will think that you are in love with my man!"

Ling Mu'er walked behind Shangguan Shaochen while smiling, and thoughtfully took off his cloak, "It's windy today, isn't it very cold? I made warm tea, do you want to try it?"

"It's indeed a little cold, but seeing you makes me warm." Shangguan Shaochen pinched her nose lovingly, "From now on, I just leave these trivial things to my slaves, why don't you do it yourself."

"The slave's craftsmanship is not as good as mine." Ling Muer shook her head proudly.

Apart from her female family members, there are only a few girls in the laundry room left in the second prince's mansion, not to mention those who make tea, even those who make mattresses for Shangguan Shaochen are slaves. As for men, they are always a little fussy, how can she be so caring.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's boring, you two don't mean to disgust me on purpose if you want to drive me away, right?" Nangong Yizhi just finished speaking, when an unknown object was handed over to him, he dodged hurriedly, "Hey, Ling Mu'er, if you dare to really hurt me, let's see how the concubine mother punishes you."

"Godmother thanked me for teaching you a lesson, why don't we try?" Ling Mu'er raised her head arrogantly, with a provocative expression on her face.

"You—" Nangong Yi was anxious.

I thought he would get angry, but who knew that he suddenly changed from a vicious jackal to a little milk dog, "Hey, little sister-in-law, you have a lot of things that you don't care about me, right? Forcing me to chase the fiancée who retired from the engagement, you said that the marriage has been retired, so where are you going to chase after her?"

I still remember that a year and a half ago, he personally went to the future father-in-law's house to cancel the marriage arranged by his parents without permission. Lingjiacun went to look for his cousin.

I thought that so many things happened in the court in recent years, the mother and concubine would forget about that incident, but at the funeral of the seventh prince, I met that old man, who relied on his old man to sell his old man, crying for his own daughter, hurting his reputation, and the mother and concubine had a kind heart That night, they rescued him from the bed and gave him a hard lesson. And ordered him to bring the girl back within one month.

One must know that the girl left the capital on the second day of the divorce, and she went to follow her master Xianyun Yehe in a pretentious name. Where can he find someone?

"It deserves it!" Ling Mu'er didn't think he was pitiful at all, "Who told you to let go of the beautiful and beautiful girl, and insisted on committing suicide? It just so happens that the affairs of the capital have been settled, so you can go there boldly this time. Chasing someone."

Ling Muer smiled treacherously.

"Ling Muer!" Nangong Yi gritted his teeth angrily, and he raised his fist as if to hit him down.

"Yizhi!" Shangguan Shaochen obviously didn't turn his head, but it was as if he had eyes on the back of his head.

Seeing that he put down his fist unwillingly, Shangguan Shaochen closed his sharp eyes, and looked at Ling Mu's childhood as a gentle and peerless good man again, "Yizhi really can't leave the capital recently, father Order me and the Sixth Brother to supervise the country, now is the time to employ people."

Finally hearing the words of justice, Nangong Yizhi shook his head triumphantly, "Have you heard that? Cousin needs me."

Seeing that he was obviously a handsome and handsome young man, but he deliberately put on a coquettish appearance, which made Ling Muer nauseous.

"nausea!"

Gazing at him blankly, Ling Muer didn't intend to talk to him, "What do you mean supervising the country with the sixth prince? No wonder you came back so late today?"

Shangguan Shaochen nodded, "Father is seriously ill, and after experiencing the case of the Seventh Emperor's younger brother, he couldn't afford it, I'm afraid..."

He sighed again, "Mu'er, follow me into the palace tomorrow morning to show Father?"

Ling Muer nodded. Although the emperor's old son became less energetic after seeing her, he was still her father in a sense.

"It's not that I haven't seen the emperor's illness. If he doesn't want to receive treatment, I can't do it. Besides, although I am a doctor, I really don't have the ability to compete with Lord Yan. Do you understand this?"

She said everything so clearly, Shangguan Shaochen is smart, how could he not understand.

It seems that those old stubborn people in the Tai Hospital didn't lie to him, the father's time is really approaching.

Although there is still a crown prince in my court, no one in the whole country knows that the crown prince is moderate, and it is difficult for him to take on a big responsibility. Usually, the more this happens, the more chaotic the court is.

"During my father's serious illness, some people will definitely not let go of this rare opportunity. I'm afraid that the time to return home will become shorter and shorter in the future." Shangguan Shaochen stared at Ling Mu'er apologetically.

He didn't want his little girl to stay alone in the vacant room, but the court is also important.

"The King Xian took over the whereabouts of the sixth prince. I have read it carefully in the past few days, and I have to admit that we really ignored the sixth prince. He has hidden his edge for many years. I am afraid that he has already grown full-fledged and wants to deal with him. It is not easier than dealing with Qin Xuanting, and the emperor ordered you two to supervise the country, so you must be careful."

Shangguan Shaochen nodded, it's not like he didn't miss the clues that Muer saw.

Seven years ago, when Qin Ruochen was insulted by his father for the first time, he cultivated his own forces and distributed them inside and outside the capital. He probably had his eye on Qin Xuanting from then on.

Five years ago, in the name of recommending disciples, Qin Ruochen placed his people beside the courtiers. In the next two years, he personally promoted these people, and now a small number of people in the court and the public follow him.

Three years ago, Qin Ruochen personally planned many battles, which made the emperor change his opinion for the first time, and began to give him a mansion, giving him a more secluded space.

A year ago, all the places he visited made it clear that Qin Ruochen had participated in Qin Xuanting's many assassinations of him.

Perhaps Qin Xuanting will not know until now that some black-clothed killers are not all his own, but Qin Ruochen secretly replaced half of them early.

What surprised him even more was that when he went to the border more than a year ago, when Mu'er was made things difficult by the crown prince, it was actually his people who tipped him off.

Brother Sixth Emperor, among the major events that happened in Beijing in recent years, which one did you not participate in?

"As long as he doesn't act foolishly, I won't make things difficult for him. Although the emperor is involved, he is still alive. The person he wants to deal with first is not me." Shangguan Shaochen analyzed.

"It's because it wasn't you that he deliberately helped you deal with Qin Xuanting. Now there are rumors inside and outside the palace that the sixth prince has already sided with you, and that Qin Xuanting died at your hands, but no one is talking about the most important evidence coming from his sixth prince." .This Qin Ruochen is really scheming!" Ling Muer said angrily.

Shangguan Shaochen snorted softly, "He wants to borrow a knife to kill people, it depends on whether he has the ability, but the one who should worry about these things is the crown prince."

After finishing speaking, he sighed deeply.

The father is in good health, and gave birth to seven princes and eight princesses. It can be said that it is a coincidence, except for the fourth prince and fifth princess, none of them are from the same mother.

And in the harem, there are unique intrigues going on every day. The concubines are constantly fighting for favor in the palace, and the one who gave birth to the prince is fighting openly and secretly for the name of the prince. As a result, although they, the princes, are still decent on the surface, they can't. In fact, both regard each other as an enemy.

If it wasn't for the fact that his mother and concubine were framed back then, and he was trampled and bullied by everyone as an ant, which caused him to lose expectations for the palace, his father, and his brothers, otherwise, he would really be too lazy to fall into this open and secret struggle.

"Qin Ruochen is very ambitious. If he wants to get that seat, the first person he will deal with must be the prince. Why, you want to help the prince's house?" Nangong Yizhi was a little shocked.

"Lao Liu borrowed my hand to get rid of Lao Qi, how do you know he won't use me to get rid of the prince?" Shangguan Shaochen's meaning is very simple, the other party has already set his sights on us, it's time for us to think of countermeasures.

Nangong Yizhi fell into deep thought.

He was trying to figure out how to get rid of Qin Ruochen's big trouble without being involved in the battle for the throne, when a servant rushed to report him outside the door.

"Report to the Second Prince, Prince Xian's Mansion sent someone to say that there is something urgent, please come to the mansion immediately with the Second Prince and Concubine."
