Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

The court officials tacitly agreed not to expose this drama, because it was meaningless. Did they expect Emperor Yongping to really show some kindness? Or did they expect the prince to be filial from the bottom of his heart?

So unrealistic!

Instead, it will make this precarious relationship even worse.

At this moment, Emperor Yongping pulled off a fig leaf, which was exactly what they wanted.

Xu Huaiyi, however, felt sick watching this. He lowered his head with a sneer on his lips. How damn hypocritical! He was worthy of being an emperor. Such artificial acting was so easy for him and he had no regrets at all.

But all the civil and military officials in the court were pretending to be dead, and what was even more hateful was that even he could not question it.

The time is not yet ripe, so we need to continue to be patient.

If Xiaoyu can endure it, how could he be as angry and painful as Xiaoyu?

However, others did not believe that he could hold back his anger. They just thought that he was holding back some big move and it might explode at any time.

Therefore, Han Jun waited for him to return home, and then he pleaded with him in private, "Huaiyi, let's stop here. Jin'er has just entered the court to observe government affairs, and has no foundation. It is still too early for her to be able to take charge of things on her own. For the sake of the people's stability, it is not the time to break up with him now, so you have to swallow your anger.

However, justice is in the hearts of the people, and the court officials are not stupid. They know that he is in the wrong. If we can make him afraid of this, we will win.

Moreover, it can also win Jin Er a lot of sympathy points, which is beneficial to him. In the future, Emperor Yongping will not dare to manipulate him at will in the court."

Han Jun presented facts and reasoned with sincerity when he weighed the pros and cons, but he was afraid that Han Jun would act on impulse and fight with Emperor Yongping without hesitation in order to seek justice for Gu Xiaoyu, which would be inappropriate for no one to win.

Seeing his nervous look, Xu Huaiyi said expressionlessly, "You think too much. Am I the kind of person who doesn't know what's going on, who doesn't know what's his own limits, and who doesn't know how to live or die? What kind of identity and strength do I have that I dare to compete with him?"

Han Jun, "..."

Xu Huaiyi continued in a sarcastic tone, "Besides, what did he do wrong? Didn't the three courts clear his name? Others may not know, but we do. Those things are all fabricated. They were framed by Marquis Changle and the King of Chu. How could I fall for them?

As for how he treated Xiaoyu, haha, he wasn't unkind. After all, he had given her the title of Crown Prince, so why would he need a car? Am I the ignorant one?

Then all the tears he shed this morning would have been in vain!"

Han Jun's face stiffened after hearing this and he could only smile dryly, not knowing what to say at all.

In fact, he was also feeling unhappy, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to completely ruin the reputation of Emperor Yongping, bring him down, and support the prince to the throne.

But again, the timing is not right.

After the two of them finished talking, they dispersed, each with their own thoughts.

Xu Huaiyi returned to the main courtyard and could no longer hide his emotions. He poured out his feelings to Gu Huanxi without any scruples, almost devaluing Emperor Yongping.

Gu Huanxi silently played the role of a tree hole, allowing him to vent.

After scolding for more than half an hour, Xu Huaiyi finally felt relieved and got down to business. "Don't go out recently. Even if you are at home, be more careful. If something goes wrong, go to the RV for safety."

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi frowned and asked, "Do you think Emperor Yongping will send someone to deal with our family?"

Xu Huaiyi didn't know right from wrong, and just kept smearing Emperor Yongping. "It may not be him. He shouldn't dare to attack me casually. Besides, now is not the right time. The most important thing for him right now is to maintain the father-son relationship with Xiaoyu. If he goes against me, won't Xiaoyu turn hostile?

Then how can he continue his play?

What we have to guard against is the revenge of Marquis Changle."

Gu Huanxi reacted, yes, they had a grudge against Marquis Changle. In fact, Li Ji was pushed out as a scapegoat, and even the entire Marquis Changle's mansion was uprooted, all because he wanted to give an explanation to Xu Huaiyi. So from this point of view, it was normal for Marquis Changle to vent his anger on them.

"Didn't the Marquis of Changle escape? Do you think he's still near the capital?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded, his expression was unusually solemn, "He has nothing now, like a mad dog in a corner, he will definitely fight to the death. He can't overthrow the Yong Dynasty, but he can still take a few people with him before he dies. Who does he hate the most? The first is Emperor Yongping, and the second is me. We have to be on guard, he may have a lot of people at his disposal."

Gu Huanxi sighed, "I will be careful, but I can't live in fear all the time, right? How long do I have to be on guard?"

Xu Huaiyi comforted him, "Don't worry, you won't have to wait too long. I've already given the order. If he dares to come, he won't be able to leave alive."

Without any confidence to lure someone into a trap, he would have taken the initiative to attack long ago.

"Then how do you think Changle Hou will take revenge on Emperor Yongping?"

"I don't know. Maybe he has a way to get his hands into the palace."

Who wouldn't plant a few spare spikes in the palace? They are usually not used, but once activated, it can be a matter of life and death, often with the effect of winning by surprise.

Xu Huaiyi made malicious speculations, but he actually hoped that Marquis Changle would succeed.

Unfortunately, Marquis Changle still disappointed him. A few days later, the grand court meeting was temporarily cancelled, and only then did all the civil and military officials in the court know that Emperor Yongping had been assassinated.

The person who assassinated him was a completely insignificant eunuch who followed the Second Prince and had the opportunity to get close to Emperor Yongping. No one could have imagined that he would suddenly attack and kill someone!

Even though he was protected by the Azure Dragon Guards, Emperor Yongping was unable to dodge and was still stabbed in the arm. The wound was not too serious, but the serious thing was that the knife was poisonous.

Fortunately, the emperors all had means to save their lives. At the critical moment, they immediately swallowed the detoxification pills they carried with them and controlled the spread of the poison.

It is said that he suffered a lot while detoxifying and healing his wounds. Only the imperial physician knew the details. Everyone else was driven out, some were silenced, and some were beaten to death.

The emperor's health has always been a taboo topic. All court officials are concerned about it, but no one dares to inquire. They only know that the emperor was assassinated, but his life is not in danger. More specific information is unknown.

The emperor is not attending court as he is recuperating from his injuries, but state affairs are not delayed. There is the cabinet anyway, and unless there is a major incident that requires the decision of Emperor Yongping, it can be handled properly.

As long as the government can function normally, no one will panic. What makes them a little panic is the mysterious operation of Emperor Yongping.

He refused the Crown Prince's request to attend to him, and did not allow the Queen to enter the bedroom. Instead, he kept Zhang Zhaoyi and her son by his side and refused to see anyone else.

But at a time like this, the ones most qualified to accompany the king should be the crown prince and the queen. What's the point of turning them away?

Was it distrust? Was it precaution? Or was it suspicion that the assassination was related to them?

There are many speculations.

In short, for the Crown Prince and the Queen, Emperor Yongping's actions were a slap in their faces.

Of course, Emperor Yongping also came up with a plausible reason. He let the crown prince govern the country and learn how to handle state affairs with the help of the cabinet. This was actually decentralization of power and could not be considered unfair treatment, nor could it be considered a lack of trust, right?

As for the Queen, she sympathized with the Queen as she had to manage the harem and was too busy, so she asked Zhang Zhaoyi to take care of her when she was sick. Anyway, everyone knew that Zhang Zhaoyi was a maidservant of the Queen in the past, and it was the Queen who sent her to the Emperor's dragon bed in order to consolidate her favor. Zhang Zhaoyi was the Queen's arm, and it was reasonable for her to do the job for her.

These are just the superficial statements. There are many different opinions about what is going on behind the scenes.

Xu Huaiyi was called by Prime Minister Sun, and he dismissed the servants and asked in a low voice, "What do you think about this matter?"

Ever since Sun Yu's self-torture scheme broke his leg, Xu Huaiyi's feelings towards the Sun family have become more sincere. When talking about such a sensitive matter, he did not play it safe. "I think the emperor's situation... is not that simple."

Prime Minister Sun's heart skipped a beat. "You mean, the emperor's illness?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded and said cryptically, "The eunuch only said that the emperor was assassinated, but it was a close call, and he only scratched his arm, but the knife was poisoned!"

That's the real killer move.

"Didn't you say that the poison has been resolved?"

"The problem may have been solved, but it may not be completely solved, and there may be some sequelae..."

Prime Minister Sun frowned, "So that's why the Emperor didn't allow the Crown Prince and the Empress to take care of him?"

Xu Huaiyi said "hmm" in a mocking tone, "Even the imperial guards have been driven out. In the bedroom, there is only a eunuch, an imperial physician, and Zhang Zhaoyi and her son."

The eunuch had always been serving Emperor Yongping and was the most trusted one. The imperial physician had to see the emperor at all times and he could not be left without him. Keeping him by his side was also to prevent information from leaking out. Only Zhang Zhaoyi and her son were dispensable.

But Emperor Yongping kept them, and no one knew who he was trying to annoy.

Prime Minister Sun sighed, "The emperor's actions are becoming more and more unfathomable..."

Xu Huaiyi curled the corner of his mouth in sarcasm, without making any comment. The Emperor Yongping set up these fancy mazes just to muddy the waters even more. He wanted to have this and that, and he was thinking too much.

It’s a pity that it’s probably going to be useless.

Sun Shoufu then asked, "Who do you think is the murderer behind this?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "It is very likely that this is the revenge of Marquis Changle..."

Prime Minister Sun was not surprised to hear this. He and even the entire court, civil and military officials, guessed that it was Marquis Changle. All of his family members were killed. This kind of hatred for the destruction of an entire family was irreconcilable and anyone with blood in his veins would seek revenge.

Even if the enemy is an emperor, we will fight hard.

What he didn't expect was, "We shouldn't drag the Second Prince into this..."

Xu Huaiyi said, "If we don't use the Second Prince, that little eunuch won't have the chance to come before the Emperor and assassinate him..."

Prime Minister Sun was silent for a moment, but he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Do you think the Second Prince knew about this in advance?"

Xu Huaiyi said meaningfully, "I'm not sure whether the Second Prince knew about it in advance, but I guess he must have noticed it."

"Then he..."

"Perhaps they are unsure, so they dare not raise the alarm, or perhaps they are playing dumb and going with the flow."

The Second Prince was originally the most favored one in the Prince of Qi's Palace because he had the support of the Marquis of Changle's Mansion. But later, the situation took a turn for the worse, especially after the palace coup that night, when he was disfigured, his situation took a sharp turn for the worse. He was first excluded from the list of heirs and lost all hope.

From then on, his character became somewhat twisted and gloomy, and after the destruction of Changle Marquis Mansion, perhaps this gloominess turned into hatred and unwillingness. It would have been fine if he had no chance for revenge, but once the opportunity came before him, he would not hesitate at all and would dare to give rise to the desire to destroy the world.
