Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Han Jun's series of actions tore off the fig leaf of the royal family. It was satisfying, but it was undoubtedly a loss of both the enemy and his own.

After all, Gu Xiaoyu is also a member of the royal family. He cannot escape his status. They prosper together and suffer together.

When he takes over the burden in the future, he will have more work to do.

At the moment, no one is ready to clean up this mess, and Emperor Yongping is sick again.

This time the palace blocked the news. The only word was that the entire Imperial Hospital was gathered in the emperor's bedroom in panic, and no one had left the palace for several days.

The imperial guards were also mobilized to protect the palace tightly.

Even the deputy commander Xu Huaiyi found it difficult to intervene, which made him very depressed. It was not because he was depressed about his lack of control over the Imperial Guards, but because he felt that he had been a little careless in the past few years.

He thought that he and Commander Xiao checked and balanced each other, which was the reason for the harmonious coexistence of the Imperial Guard. Each person led a team, and they were both on guard and cooperative. No one could really overwhelm the other, and it was a mutually dependent relationship.

Who knew, he was just being self-righteous.

Han Cheng easily gathered the Imperial Guards with lightning speed. Was it because of his title as temporary commander? Of course not. He relied on the advance layout.

But he knew nothing about it and was even complacent about his personal charm in the Guards. Many people followed him, but many of them could not stand the test.

How can it not make people upset?

However, there were some gains. The situation in the court suddenly became clear, and many people saw the ability of the crown prince. In comparison, the other princes were too young and vulnerable to take on important responsibilities.

Moreover, the other princes, for various reasons, either had their reputations damaged or were in poor health. If such people were to succeed to the throne, there would be many hidden dangers. As long as they were not completely tied to their broken boat, everyone would be more inclined to support the crown prince to take the throne.

The prince's coming to power seemed to have become the general trend.

Han Jun, who had made all this happen, was in a good mood and felt that his hard work had not been in vain. Even if he would be held accountable by Emperor Yongping afterwards, it would still be worth it.

But Xu Huaiyi knew clearly that this was far from enough, and Emperor Yongping could turn the tables at any time!

Because he and Commander Xiao had colluded with each other for mutual benefit on the night of the palace banquet.

This top-secret information was delivered by Gu Xiaoyu himself. He came to the Gu family openly under the pretext of thanking Gu Huanxi and A Li.

After he left, Xu Huaiyi was so angry that he smashed a set of teacups in the study!

Gu Huanxi heard the noise and rushed over. Seeing the mess on the ground, he asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry? Did Xiaoyu offend you?"

Xu Huaiyi shook his head. "That child has had a really hard life. How can I bear to be angry with him now? I can't even express my heartache for him..."

Gu Huanxi was confused and asked impatiently, "What happened again?"

The father and the son had a secret conversation behind closed doors in the study, and she did not join in in order to avoid arousing suspicion.

Xu Huaiyi pulled her to sit down, took a deep breath, and said through gritted teeth, "Emperor Yongping was persuaded by Commander Xiao and accepted his threat. The two of them really colluded..."

Gu Huanxi frowned, "Did Emperor Yongping really take the elixir?"

Xu Huaiyi hummed, "Xiaoyu and I guessed that the formula of the elixir might have been changed, and the toxicity should not be strong. Otherwise, it would be like drinking poison to quench thirst. Emperor Yongping is not that stupid. He would eat the elixir without hesitation even though he knew that his father's death was related to it..."

Gu Huanxi nodded, "That's probably the case, otherwise Commander Xiao wouldn't have offered it to him for a deal. If he's not sincere, it will only backfire. Then what? What bargaining chips did Emperor Yongping give?"

Xu Huaiyi said in a hateful voice, "An imperial decree to depose and enthrone the crown prince!"

After hearing this, Gu Huanxi was not shocked. Instead, she felt calm as if the dust had settled. She was just curious, "How did Xiaoyu know about such a confidential matter?"

Speaking of this, Xu Huaiyi couldn't help but feel a little fortunate, "It was the eunuch who served Emperor Yongping who revealed it to him."

"Huh? Xiaoyu can actually bribe such a person?"

"It's not bribery. This man has received favors from Xiaoyu's mother, and now he is repaying the favor. Or maybe he wants to take sides and show goodwill. After all, a new emperor appoints new ministers, and he is afraid of being liquidated in the future. I guess, in his opinion, Emperor Yongping's health is not optimistic, so he has no choice but to make the bet."

Gu Huanxi suddenly realized that this made sense, "What about the imperial edict?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "Although the two of them colluded, they did not trust each other, so the imperial edict was not in anyone's hands, but was given to the Empress Dowager for safekeeping."

Gu Huanxi laughed out of anger when he heard this, "What are you two thinking?"

Xu Huaiyi could understand it very well. "If something happens to Emperor Yongping, the one who can suppress the prince in the harem is undoubtedly the Grand Empress Dowager. The seniority is there, can the prince still resist on the grounds of being unfilial?

I know you mean the Zhu family, but the Zhu family has been eliminated early. Even if the Empress Dowager is a daughter of the Zhu family, she cannot go against the will of the world.

On the contrary, for the sake of the Zhu family, she now has to find a way out for the Zhu family.

This imperial edict is undoubtedly a good trump card. If used properly, the Zhu family will have no worries about their future. "

Gu Huanxi was silent for a moment.

Xu Huaiyi added, "The Lu family privately expressed their attitude to Xiaoyu that they would not interfere in the Sixth Prince's affairs. The implication was that the Sixth Prince would not fight for that position."

Gu Huanxi was slightly stunned, "Are you scared?"

Xu Huaiyi laughed mockingly, "I guess so. On the night of the palace banquet, except for Xiaoyu, the other princes were all scared and cried. How could the children who were carefully raised have never experienced such stimulation? They were timid at the slightest wind and rain. Haha, they should all experience the hardships that Xiaoyu went through, so they won't be so squeamish!"

Gu Huanxi asked tentatively, "My princes, you have a fever after being frightened, but it has not healed yet. Did someone tamper with the medicine?"

Xu Huaiyi coughed and said, "Don't look at me. It's not me. I don't even bother to harm a few children..."

"Who is that?"

"...Han Jun, there is nothing poisonous in the medicine. It would be too easy to detect it. I just slightly changed the dosage of some drugs to reduce the efficacy."

Gu Huanxi uttered "hmm" with no discernible emotion.

Seeing this, Xu Huaiyi said cautiously, "Han Jun must be vented. Although they are children, they are born with original sin and are not innocent. They just had a few nightmares, but what about our Xiaoyu? He almost lost his life. Who is more wronged?"

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi glanced at him with a smile, "You don't have to say good things for him. I'm not angry. I'm not a saint. I won't sympathize with anyone, not even the royal family. I just think that if Han Jun did this, wouldn't Emperor Yongping be upset? Spreading a few gossips is fine, but this is a fight against the prince. Can Emperor Yongping tolerate it?"

Xu Huaiyi breathed a sigh of relief. "Han Jun has a lot of leverage over him, so he can only swallow his anger for the time being. Besides, it's his fault. If he doesn't behave himself, he can't blame others for revenge.

You don't have to worry about Han Jun. He is ready to risk his life! However, he will definitely leave a way out for himself. If it doesn't work, I'm still here. Can I just watch him get killed by Emperor Yongping?"
