The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Meng Wenyao frowned and asked: "Why don't you let the eunuchs serve you? They are your brothers. You have to respect them, you know?"

The third prince didn't take it seriously: "My father and my mother have said that I will be the prince in the future, I am the king, they are the ministers, and they should serve me."

No wonder the Lin family has been making a lot of moves recently. It turns out that they have already begun to make people make the third prince the crown prince. It's really whimsical.

Through observations over the past few years, Meng Wenyao discovered that the second prince was raised by Ning Qinghan to be gentle and polite, but not domineering enough. Especially when he met the third prince, he was as timid as a mouse and almost submissive.

The third prince is like a little overlord. Before he was enlightened, he couldn't even memorize the Three-Character Sutra. If the country was handed over to him in the future, it would be his own destruction.

Although there were newcomers in the palace one after another, with Ning Qinghan and Lin Jiaojiao here, the concubines in the harem fell pregnant one after another. Over the years, Meng Mingxuan only had two sons.

Meng Wenyao was definitely not the successor to the great cause. Meng Wenyao lowered her head and looked at Meng Chenye. He was talented in literature and martial arts, decisive in character, and calm in work. He was simply the successor to the heir apparent!

Moreover, the nephew looks like his uncle, and Meng Chenye looks very similar to Meng Mingxuan.

With Meng's blood also flowing, Meng Wenyao felt that there was no burden at all in supporting Meng Chenye to rise to power.

That night, Meng Wenyao discussed the matter with Ye Lianyi.

"The Lin family has been incessant these years, and has recently been recruiting people to promote the third prince to the throne. It's time to clean up."

Ye Lianyi hugged Meng Wenyao's slender waist tightly, buried his head in her neck, and muttered: "Are you going to destroy the family again?"

The hot air sprayed onto his neck, and Meng Wenyao couldn't bear the itching. She pushed away slightly and said, "The third prince is neither a direct descendant nor a eldest son, so he is not easy to establish. First, find some scholars to build momentum for Chen Ye among the scholars and see how the Lin family reacts. "

Ye Lianyi suddenly raised his head, his breathing was rapid, and he said in a trembling voice: "Building momentum for Chen Ye? He is Chen Ye's son."

Meng Wenyao's expression was quite calm, and she even glared at Ye Lianyi with an angry look: "His surname is Meng, he is my descendant, and he has the blood of Taizu. If I say he can be the emperor, he can be, and you Looking at three children, who is more suitable than Chen Ye?"

It seems to be the case. Ye Lianyi pinched a place with his big hand and said ambiguously: "It's Chen's seed."

The two quickly rolled into a ball, making the moon disappear into the clouds.

Not long after, someone in the court really proposed to establish a crown prince, and people attracted by the Lin family began to make offers, asking the third prince to be crown prince.

The Hanlin that Meng Wenyao and Ye Lianyi approached also fiercely opposed it. Since ancient times, it was the third prince's turn to be the first prince.

Meng Mingxuan couldn't make up his mind, so he ran to the imperial study and asked Meng Wenyao: "Who do you think is suitable?"

"The third prince is neither his direct descendant nor his eldest son. If the emperor insists on appointing him, the resistance will be too great."

Meng Mingxuan naturally understood this. He sighed and said: "I have no legitimate son. The eldest son has been raised outside all year round and is not close to me. The third son is my favorite, so..."

"So the emperor wants to establish a third prince, but the emperor has to work hard to protect the country with great talents and strategies. Is the third prince suitable? If you are an ordinary commoner, you can leave your family property to anyone, but the person you choose to be the master of the world, It’s better to choose the right one.”

Meng Mingxuan sighed and left. He had agreed to Lin Jiaojiao, but both the courtier and Meng Wenyao were opposed to it, so it was difficult for him to persist.

At this juncture, Ning Qinghan asked the emperor to record the second prince's name.

In the past, she only raised the second prince and did not register it on the Imperial Jade Butterfly. Now she has completely given up on having her own children and unabashedly wants to give the second prince the status of a legitimate son.

In this way, the third prince's disadvantage became even more apparent, and Lin Jiao was squeamish.

Over the years, she has almost enjoyed being the sole favorite, and she also controls the Sixth Palace, so she can no longer plan anything slowly.

Especially when she thought of the child aborted last time and the eunuch who slipped and drowned in the lake, hatred flashed in Lin Jiaojiao's eyes.

On this day, the second prince was leaving school from his study room. On the way, he was suddenly attracted by a cute cat and followed her to the lake step by step.

Even though there were a bunch of little eunuchs following behind him, they couldn't stop the second prince from running very fast with his short legs, and he quickly disappeared behind the rockery.

By the time everyone found the second prince, he was already dying.

Fortunately, Meng Wenyao was not far away that day, and she happened to know how to treat drowning, so she almost rescued the second prince.

Unfortunately, after this drowning, the second prince's health was completely in bad condition. Although he had the status of legitimate son, his hope of becoming a great treasure was gone.

Lin Jiaojiao had gone too far, and Meng Wenyao couldn't imagine whether she would take action against Chen Ye again after murdering the second prince.

"Ye Lianyi, please don't let Chen Ye enter the palace in the next few days. Let the Lin family handle it."

"Wei Chen accepts the order."

The Lin family was built on military merit. All the children in the family served in the military, and several generations of their ancestors also served in the military.

This allowed Ye Lianyi to investigate the Lin family. Without any effort, he even found out everything about the previous generations of the Lin family.

Just when Lin Jiaojiao was feeling proud and felt that no one could threaten the third prince anymore, a little-known inspector censor revealed the criminal records of the Lin family from the old master to the housekeeper and servants directly to the morning court. The events were detailed and the evidence was conclusive. The records of the Lin family's crimes of corruption and bending the law over the years can be seen at a glance. The Lin family's underwear has been taken off.

The court exploded instantly. The Lin family couldn't defend themselves even if they wanted to. No matter what they said, they could directly find the solid evidence from the evidence.

The first court meeting lasted until the afternoon. The Lin family could not come out of the court hall and were immediately sent to prison.

Meng Mingxuan looked at the evidence that the Lin family had wiped out the entire Ning family, and asked Meng Wenyao as if in a dream: "The Lin family and the Ning family are not related by marriage, why are they killing each other like this?"

Meng Wenyao was afraid that she would make too many mistakes and miss the mark, so she said sadly: "You must be crazy. The eldest prince was assassinated before, and the second prince almost drowned. The emperor brother knows about it. It is self-evident why the Lin family is here."

Meng Mingxuan himself had never experienced the fact that the throne was carved out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. However, as an emperor, he had some personal experience after listening to it. He murmured: "It must have been done by the Lin family. Jiaojiao is such an innocent person. , cannot do such a thing.”

Meng Wenyao suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball, lamenting that Meng Mingxuan had only grown taller but not wiser over the years.

"Then the emperor wants to let the Lin family go? How can the world be stopped?"

"No, I don't want to let the Lin family go, I just feel that Jiaojiao shouldn't be involved."

Looking sideways at Meng Mingxuan, Meng Wenyao laughed out loud: "Brother, the emperor is benevolent, as he should be."

From now on, Lin Jiaojiao lost her backer and was just on par with Ning Qinghan, which could be said to maintain the balance in the harem.

As soon as the matter was agreed upon, Ning Qinghan broke into the imperial study, crying that someone was trying to harm the second prince.
