After the Hou family's mistress was reborn, the entire Hou family suffered disaster

Everyone gathered together to discuss the situation from morning to night, but they did not come up with an answer that satisfied the Sixth Prince.

Finally, it was already dark outside, and the Sixth Prince waved his hands impatiently, telling everyone to leave.

Fortunately, several months had passed since that incident, and the people he sent were all clean. Even if the emperor personally took action, it would not be possible to find out in a moment.

Thinking of this, the Sixth Prince's mind was settled.

-

The time changed to two days later.

On this day, the ministers arrived at the main hall as usual.

After reporting on their respective important official duties as usual, the emperor did not announce the disbandment of the court.

Everyone knew what was going to happen next, and everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.

The emperor's eyes fell on the sixth prince: "Sixth, do you have anything to say about the sealed confession that Aiqing handed over a few days ago?"

The Sixth Prince's heart skipped a beat, but he still managed to calm his mind and said, "Father, if I haven't done this before, I haven't done it. I... have a clear conscience!"

"Okay." The emperor nodded lightly, with no emotion or anger on his face.

Seeing that the emperor only asked one question and then stopped talking, everyone couldn't help but look at each other and looked at Shen Chuan and the Sixth Prince.

The former stood calmly, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him, while the latter looked forced to be calm. In contrast to the former, there was an inexplicable feeling of guilt.

After a while, a voice suddenly sounded outside: "His Royal Highness is here -"

Everyone turned their heads to look.

I saw a figure coming from outside.

The man's steps were steady, and he carried an unspeakable sense of oppression and power as he walked. Different from those of them who had been in the court for a long time, the power on that man was extremely strong and decisive. It was obvious at a glance that he had experienced battlefield experience. .

The moment they saw that person, everyone's eyes widened with different expressions on their faces, which looked very exciting.

The sixth prince felt as if he had been struck by lightning, staring at the man's every move.

When the man came closer, the Sixth Prince subconsciously took a step back. When he spoke, he didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or something else, but there was even a tremor in his voice: "Brother..."

The eldest prince glanced at him, but ignored him. He just saluted the emperor and said, "My son has met my father."

The emperor raised his hand to tell him to get up, and then looked at the sixth prince: "Sixth, do you have anything else to say?"

There was deep disappointment in his tone.

The sixth prince looked at the emperor and then at the eldest prince, the shock on his face not fading away.

Looking at the way the eldest prince looks now, he doesn't look injured at all!

But...how could this be?

He is obviously lame! Wasted!

The person sent to assassinate him came back in person to report that it was a success!

How could this happen?

His gaze was too intense. The eldest prince glanced at him again, with a warm smile on his face: "I am used to fighting on the battlefield. The guards sent by my sixth brother are very skilled. But...it's still a bit off, and I disappointed my sixth brother."

The sixth prince opened his mouth, but only a weird gurgling sound came from deep in his throat.

The emperor's complicated eyes fell on the sixth prince.

He had always known that the eldest prince was in good health, and even felt that it was unnecessary for the eldest prince to play this trick in the first place.

After all, in the emperor's opinion, no one would be so bold as to attack him.

The eldest prince occupies the position of heir apparent and has been fighting for the country for so many years. Who dares to disobey him?

However, the assassination a few months ago made the emperor change his mind.

Someone really dared to attack him.

Originally, the emperor was not sure who was responsible for the assassination, but Shen Chuan's side actually captured all the assassins. When compared with those who committed the assassination against the eldest prince, the answer came out.

In the past few months, he had been waiting for the sixth prince to take the initiative to speak, whether to admit his mistake or to test, but nothing happened. The sixth prince seemed not to know about this matter at all.

It is not easy to be so calm at such an age.

It's a pity that no matter how deep your thoughts are, it's useless.

The emperor was very sorry.

"My dear," the emperor waved his sleeves and said in a deep voice, "you have seen what has happened in the court these days."

"Your Majesty, don't worry," Shen Chuan cupped his hands and said, "I know what to do."

"Yes." The emperor nodded, glanced at the group of ministers with different expressions below, then stood up and left.

Next, it's time for Shen Chuan to take action.

At this morning court meeting, everyone's hearts were filled with excitement.

Who would have thought that the eldest prince would be faking it from the beginning.

No wonder, even if the eldest prince was assassinated later, and there was even news that he was critically ill, the emperor and empress only paid lip service to their concern without taking any actual actions.

It turns out, it turns out they knew it a long time ago!

In the past few months, in the eyes of the emperor and empress, they were probably just like clowns!

Now, all the ministers who had previously taken refuge with the Sixth Prince and even gave him many crooked ideas felt like they were mourning for their heirs.

Those officials who had already taken refuge with the Sixth Prince but had not yet had time to play a role were worried, not knowing whether this matter would affect them.

Their fear or anxiety did not last long.

The next day, Shen Chuan began to reorganize the court.

In the past few months, he had been silent on the surface, as if he had faded away from the court, but he was well aware of every move of the ministers. Now when he started to act, it was called efficiency.

However, Shen Chuan did not continue his previous thunderous tactics that frequently resulted in rivers of blood, but was exiled.

This has left a glimmer of hope.

Although everyone didn't understand why Shen Chuan was so gentle all of a sudden, this was a good thing after all, so no one cared about it.

Shen Chuanyi worked for several days before finally settling everything.

I was finally able to sit down and have a nice meal with Jiang Fuyue.

"What about His Highness Sixth? What did he say?"

Shen Chuan shook his head: "The sixth prince is a prince after all. What's more, now that the eldest prince is here, there is no need for me to take action."

Jiang Fuyue nodded, and was a little worried: "But the eldest prince and the sixth prince are brothers after all. Will the eldest prince take this matter into consideration and let the sixth prince go, or give him a lighter sentence?"

After all, the eldest prince's gentle demeanor earlier did not seem to be an act.

But if the eldest prince really let the sixth prince go, Jiang Fuyue felt uncomfortable.

After all, the sixth prince had murderous intentions towards her and Shen Chuan.

"No." Shen Chuan shook his head decisively.

Facing Shang Jiang Fuyue's puzzled gaze, Shen Chuan's lips curled up slightly: "The so-called kindness does not lead troops. The eldest prince has been leading troops for so many years. Just having the status of a prince is not enough."

Without fierce tactics, the soldiers cannot be suppressed.
