C131 Secret room visitors(3)

When Xiao Yixiu told her about the identity of the person they were meeting, he didn't mention it either. She wanted to identify the person on his list as well as guess his identity.

Compared to the other six, he had smiles in his eyes and a calm expression, as if Gu Qingli's status did not obstruct him at all. He did not care if she appeared in this secret chamber or not.

"This person … Prince Yi? "

The entire room was silent for a moment. It was as if the fall of her hair could cause a bit of alarm. Then, the man in front of Gu Qingli smiled gently, "Although you're the Prime Minister's daughter, you actually don't recognize all of the royal family, right?"

In the feudal era, women could not leave their parents' house until they passed through two doors. When they entered the palace, they could not leave their parents' side. The people they saw and knew could only be from a small circle.

Prince Yi, however, had a special status. He had been sent to his own fiefdom since young, and had never returned to the capital even once in more than ten years.

According to the secret records of Xuanhua Restaurant, Prince Yi and King Yi, Xiao Lingfei, were the same mother and brother. They were three years old and could recite poetry, were six years old and could shoot tigers, were talented and outstanding, had once been doted on by the previous emperor and even, when he was eight years old, almost became a crown prince. But that same year, the late emperor suddenly passed away. The emperor, as the eldest son of the emperor, was rapidly supported by the political parties in the imperial court. One reason was that he was the only adult prince.

At one time, Prince Yi, who had the most potential to become Crown Prince, was young, but he actually had the support of a former royal party.

The first thing the emperor did after he ascended the throne to the throne was to welcome the former crown prince. With the excuse that Prince Yi was disrespectful during the funeral, the Emperor gave him a feudal fiefdom and a title. He sent him to the distant northern border and never summoned him back to the capital.

More than twenty years had passed, and an idle prince like Prince Yi had long since escaped the attentions of the courtiers and clansmen. However, how did he return to the capital, and why he appeared in the Mo Residence, was a big question.

Prince Yi, as the late emperor's youngest son, was actually only ten years older than Xiao Yixiu. He still looked young and handsome, and was elegant and graceful.

He smiled, "Prince Yi … Is there any reason for your guess to be so bold? "

"Firstly, the ages match; secondly, the bearing matches, although he does not resemble a scholar or a military general, his bearing is not something that an ordinary person would have; thirdly, the person my prince values but guesses about must have an important position. Since he is not an official, he must be a relative of the royal family, and can be on par with the prince; fourthly … No matter how displeased they were with me, no matter how disrespectful they were, their eyes did not dare to show the slightest bit of arrogance. Only Prince Yi, you are not only disrespectful to me, but you are also very casual when you look at me. This is not contempt, but because your status is above us. In the present day and age, aside from the Emperor, the only princes who are able to surpass the princes and princes are naturally the few uncles and uncles. "

Prince Yi raised his head and laughed, clapping his hands together. "Very good. Xiu'er, this wangfei has chosen well, with good taste. "

Xiao Yi Xiu's smile remained indifferent, but a trace of love appeared in his eyes. "Speaking of which, this wangfei was chosen by my royal father."

Prince Yi raised his eyebrows, suspicion in his eyes.

"It took me a year to get a good look at her. Even in the court, there are not many people that I need to spend so much time to see through. "

Gu Qingli smiled lightly and sat down next to Xiao Yi Xiu. Han Yi Fei said, "In the past few days, the Yan Emperor has mentioned to the Emperor that Prince Mo is slightly recovered, or that he can return to the court to discuss matters. I wonder what his intentions are?"

"Not only him, but a portion of the Yanzhou University members mentioned this matter in public or in secret. However, Minister of Rites, Jia Shangzhong, did not participate in this. It is very strange." Isn't he the King of Yan's man? "

"Perhaps it is because Xiao Yijin has determined that this king will not live for long." Xiao Yi Xiu smiled faintly. "Then whether he participates in the imperial government or not, we won't be able to threaten him."

He thought of that night when Gabrielle had woken up and saw him lying on his side in his clothes. He had quickly folded a bloody handkerchief and coughed a few times.

At that time, the expression in Gabriella's eyes was very complicated, but the deepest part of it was a flash of doubt.

Xiao Yijin definitely cared a lot about whether Li Yue cured the poison in his body. From the looks of it, his idea was much better than Luo Qingyun's prescription.

"But, is he not afraid of Prince Mo saying something that would harm him?"

Xiao Yi Xiu shook his head with a chuckle. "Xiao Yi Jin is counting on me to support Jia Shang Shang wholeheartedly in the court and push him to the throne. This is the same reason why royal father summoned sixth uncle back to the capital.

Gu Qingli was somewhat surprised. So Prince Yi hadn't returned to the capital on his own, but rather had been recalled by the Emperor. Even an emperor at a high position would need an arm's worth of help?

She thought for a moment. The reason why the Emperor summoned Prince Yi was because Prince Yi had been in the northern border for more than twenty years, and the prestige of the imperial court had long since waned. The supporters of the former emperor's faction had either died of old age or died of old age, and the emperor's foundation was strong, so he had long since stopped being wary of Prince Yi.

She smiled coldly. This was the Emperor's wishful thinking. He was afraid that there were not many things in this world that he could do as he pleased.

"Right now, Royal Father's thoughts are hard to understand. He seems to be getting more and more dissatisfied with Xiao Yi Bei, but he also refuses the proposal of the crippled crown prince, who is from the Sunset King's Party. The Queen Mother faced the abyss, not even sparing to lay her hands on him. It was most likely due to her deducing his intentions … It was only a matter of time before the crown prince would be crippled. The reason why he didn't want to do it so early was because he still had concerns. As long as there was a crown prince, the goal of the other princes would still be the crown prince. However, if the crown prince was crippled, the new crown prince would immediately become the target of public criticism. After all, royal father has gradually grown older, and his body is no longer as healthy as it was before. "

Prince Yi, Xiao Lingxi, nodded his head. "Although I was not in the capital for the past twenty years, I know quite a bit about the situation here." "With royal brother's suspicious personality, if he's not secretly measuring, then he's trying to protect someone …"

"Protect who?" He Zhenjun raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of confusion.

Han Yifei explained, "Like what Prince Mo said, if he had a new owner in mind, this prince might be his target."

He Zhenkun pondered. "But if the crown prince is crippled, it would be inevitable for him to establish a new crown prince. With the emperor's age, it would be impossible for him to wait another ten to twenty years to establish a new crown prince. And since the various princes have become adults, how can they not covet the position? "

Shi Chen shook his head, "The candidate to be the crown prince is the most outstanding one among all the princes. He should be able to convince all the other ministers to submit to him. This is the true way to choose a crown prince. The Crown Prince has attracted many objections. That is because he is unkind, unwise and heartless, and not someone who is coveted by the other princes. "

Han Yifei smiled faintly, "According to Commander Shi's words, who is the true leader?"
