One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]
"I know that even if royal father doesn't cripple Baili Jinyi's position as Crown Prince, he would still be on guard against him at all times. From now on, no matter what he does, people would be suspicious and it wouldn't be long before royal father loses his patience.
This was such a rare opportunity, yet he missed it completely. It was no different from having him spit out something that was about to reach his mouth.
Prince An glanced at him and harrumphed coldly in his heart.
"Third Prince, you should know what the crown prince was like in the past. After all these years, the crown prince has firmly maintained his position in the Eastern Palace. Besides the enormous power of the Zhao Family and Zhao Huiying's favor, his cautious nature is the key. But after such a long time, have we found any evidence against him? "
The Third Prince calmed down and recalled the appearance of the crown prince from before. A trace of deep fear flashed in his eyes, "Indeed."
In the past, the crown prince was gentle and meticulous. Even if you stared at him all day long, it would be difficult to discover his tail.
"But things are different now. His Majesty has a grudge against him by instinct. No matter how good his performance is, the Emperor won't trust him like before." This will greatly benefit us. "
"Benefits?" The Third Prince questioned, "How old can it be?"
Prince An had already made his decision, but he still hadn't figured it out. Prince An's heart was full of contempt for the third prince, but he recognized that such a talent was more convenient to control.
"In the future, if the crown prince does anything, as long as you try to stir up some trouble, all of this will be in vain. If you do something wrong, then the consequences... Do you think the emperor will be sad when the time comes? "Then if a prince was particularly outstanding at this time, would the emperor turn his attention to him?"
"Not bad, this is indeed a great opportunity." Baili Junyi's eyes lit up with pride. "Then what should we do next?"
Prince An laughed coldly. "The next thing to do is to kick Baili Junyi out of the imperial court!"
The third prince's expression changed. "You're talking about Baili Junyi?" Why did she suddenly mention him?
"Yes, isn't Imperial Concubine Xian dead? He and Shen Ninghua both claimed that he was a filial son. Since that's the case, then let them go and watch over her."
"Haha, good." At this moment, the Third Prince was no longer as furious as before. His face was brimming with complacency. "This is great! When the day of success comes, I will definitely thank father-in-law!"
Prince An didn't choose to support Baili Junyi. That way, things would be easy to handle.
Prince An understood tacitly, and a smile instantly appeared on his face. "I dare not accept it. As long as Third Prince can treat Ting properly in the future, I will be satisfied."
"Don't worry. Once I've achieved my goal, I will bestow upon her the title of imperial concubine."
"Then it's a deal."
The third prince was extremely happy as he waited wholeheartedly for his grand plan to unfold.
On the other side, a piece of news was quickly spread throughout the imperial palace.
The emperor wrote down an imperial decree announcing the crown prince's contribution to saving the citizens and stabilizing the capital. He exposed everything that the Zhao Family had done, and the rebellion ended with the fall of the Zhao Family, the murder of the empress, and the crown prince enduring humiliation.
No matter how many people believed in this result, it was still true that the Emperor had given the imperial edict.
In order to pay tribute to the crown prince, the emperor held a banquet at the Cheng Gan Palace. A group of fifth-grade officials and their families were all allowed to attend.
In Prince Yi's mansion, Shen Ninghua listened to Hong Ling's report and smiled. "There'll be a feast in three days. Hong Ling, have Bi Zhu prepare and prepare everything in the mansion. Three days later, all the items in the stores will be sealed.
Hong Ling was excited. "Yes, Miss."
She placed her son on her lap and placed one hand on his back to prevent him from falling down. She watched him flop around like a little turtle.
Within these three days, if you have anything to do, do it quickly. We will be leaving in three days.
"Yes, Your Highness, you can rest assured. The servants will deal with this matter as soon as possible."
The eldest brother flapped his wings for a long time, but still didn't move a muscle. He pursed his lips in dissatisfaction and let out a few cries before preparing to bite down on Baili Junyi's clothes.
Seated in Shen Ninghua's arms, Little Treasure rested his head on his mother's fragrant chest in satisfaction. Seeing his older brother foolishly standing there, he clapped his hands and laughed to his heart's content.
The eldest thought his sister was encouraging him, and he immediately became even happier.
Shen Ninghua couldn't bear to watch any longer. He placed Xiaobao in Baili Junyi's arms, bent down, and picked up his boss.
Finally not having to suffer from his own father's torture, the boss curled his lips and looked extremely pitiful. Shen Ninghua helped him wipe the saliva that dripped from the corner of his mouth.
"This child is still so young, you can't torture him like this in the future."
Baili Junyi's body stiffened as she hugged Little Treasure, afraid that her hands would become too heavy and hurt the girl. "That kid is still alive. He's fine."
Shen Ninghua laughed angrily, "Your daughter's skin is more solid than her son's. She can even crawl around by herself now. Last time she almost fell off the bed, I gave her two slaps but nothing happened."
Seeing how he couldn't wait to dispose of the wet nurse, Shen Ninghua gave up on communicating with him. "I was watching by the side."
"Oh, Bai Xing, have you finished your lunch? When it's ready, bring it over. I've been feeling hungry for the past two days. Little Treasure should be hungry by now. Don't starve the Canton Princess."
Shen Ninghua was speechless.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Shen Ninghua woke up early and took care of his two children. He instructed the cyan sparrow and Hong Ling to stay close to him while he and Baili Junyi headed towards the imperial palace.
The hall was brightly lit, and the officials and women who came to attend the banquet were extremely meticulous with their work. The hall was bustling with conversation and laughter.
On the high throne, Baili Qingfeng, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, listened to the praises of the officials below and had a relaxed smile on his face, "The crown prince is indeed the child that I am the most satisfied with. I have wronged him."
Shen Ninghua raised his head to look at Baili Qingfeng. He looked extremely happy, as if he had finally cleared his mind.
Zhao Huoying and Bu Yunqing were no longer by his side, and replacing them were Imperial Consort Li and a new concubine Lan.
Shen Ninghua retracted her gaze and slightly lowered her gaze. She felt a sense of desolation in her heart. A new generation replacing the old. This was the rule of the court. It was just like how she was killed by Shen Lingghan back then.
Baili Junyi held her hand gently, giving her a worried look. They had been busy these past three days and had not had a good rest. She must be tired.
Shen Ninghua shook her head slightly. She was fine. She was just sighing with emotion in her heart. Her gaze moved slightly as it swept over the Crown Prince, who was in the hands of the officials.
After being grounded for so many days, the Crown Prince looked much thinner. However, his handsome eyes were still gentle and gentle, carrying a sense of being unfazed by humiliation.
But, who would have thought that the poison Zhao Hui Ying drank was personally sent over by the Crown Prince? No wonder the other day in Ning Kun Palace, Madam Feng's tone was especially desolate, especially when she said, "How many people in this world can watch their mother die?"
[That's right. There aren't many people in this world who can bear to see their mother die. The Crown Prince is one of them.]
Who would have thought that he would actually kill his own mother and kin?
Baili Qing Cang naturally had some sort of reaction for the crown prince, so he didn't show it. Not long after the banquet started, the steward of the household announced the rewards.
Baili Jinyi stood up and respectfully kneeled in the middle of the hall. Her warm aura was like the moonlight, attracting the admiration of many young ladies of the Shangguan family.
The series of rewards lasted for a quarter of an hour before it was finished. The crown prince respectfully kowtowed to express his gratitude before raising his wine cup and saying,
"Royal father, your son, your father, is worried. This cup is your son's apology. Your son, your son, shall be the first to offer it to you." As he spoke, he raised his head and drained the cup of wine.
Shen Ninghua's eyes trembled slightly. She felt that the Hundred Miles Jun's hand had tightened around hers as she nodded her head almost imperceptibly.
Baili Junyi rose to his feet. "My royal brother, you mustn't thank only my royal father. Back in the imperial court, all the officials were saying that my royal brother was guilty. Only my younger brother is supporting you."
Hearing this, the officials' faces lit up with excitement. The crown prince had regained his power and they had all been careful to flatter him. Who would have thought that Prince Yi would reveal their background so quickly? How were they supposed to step down from the stage?
Baili Qingfeng frowned, but didn't say a word. He swept a glance at Baili Junyi.
The crown prince paused for a moment before quickly reacting, getting the palace maids behind him to pour another cup of wine.
"Royal brother knows what Fifth brother is trying to do, so I will never forget it. This toast is for you, thank you very much Fifth brother." His tone was exceptionally serious, and his words were extremely pleasing to the ears.
The coldness in Baili Junyi's eyes deepened. Who would have thought that such a gentleman would be so ruthless? "Fine, let's drink together."
The Crown Prince smiled, raised his head and downed the wine in a single gulp. Regardless of whether or not he was accepting the gift from Baili Junyi, he was willing to accept it. Before he could finish his thought, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. A sweet and fishy taste came from his throat, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Pfft!"
"This... "What's going on?"
This sudden turn of events nearly made everyone on the scene jump up in shock. Baili Qingyuan abruptly stood up, "Chen Aimin, quickly, let's go and take a look for the crown prince."
Chen Chui got up hurriedly and walked over to the crown prince. After checking his pulse, he picked up his wine glass and sniffed, "Your majesty, there's poison in the wine!"
