Transformed into a vicious concubine? Being led by the eldest sister is annoying

In the study, Crown Prince Xie Yixiuan and Young Master Xie Yixiao were playing chess.

However, neither of them was paying attention to the chessboard, and the situation on the board seemed a little chaotic.

The chess pieces were placed randomly, as if telling of their inner uneasiness.

After a long time of fighting, there was still no winner.

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

The two boys hurriedly looked towards the door, their eyes full of anticipation.

King Chen walked in and closed the door behind him.

His movements were steady and powerful, as if declaring his majesty.

Walking to the main seat and sitting down, King Chen glanced at the two young men, and seeing their nervous expressions, his heart moved slightly.

He glanced at the chessboard between the two of them and reached out to push it aside.

The chess pieces on the board shook and made a slight sound.

There was a hint of smile in his deep eyes, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Tell me, what happened in the palace?"

Xie Yixiuan knew very well that his uncle was always simple and direct, so he did not beat around the bush.

He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Uncle, the Second Prince wanted to attack the Third Prince today, but was stopped by Xie Wu."

Xie Mochen's face suddenly darkened and his eyes narrowed.

There was a fierce look in his eyes, as if he could see through all conspiracies and tricks.

After a long while, he looked at the crown prince Xie Yixuan and asked, "What do you want to do?"

His voice was deep and powerful, giving people a sense of invisible pressure.

Xie Yixiuan leaned back on the chair, his posture seemed casual, but in fact he was a little nervous.

He smiled with the corners of his lips curled, but there was a hint of coldness in his smile, "Uncle, the reason why the Second Prince is so presumptuous is that, first, he has the support of his grandfather, the Wen family, and second, there are disciples of Elder Wen in the court. As long as these people are found to be corrupt and abuse the law, there will naturally be no place for them in the court."

His tone was firm, as if he was completely sure of this.

Xie Mochen did not express his opinion directly, but turned his head slightly and looked at his eldest son Xie Yixiao with a sharp gaze.

His eyes were filled with scrutiny and expectation, and he asked, "What do you think, Xiao'er?"

Xie Yixiao was not surprised at all by his father's question.

After all, during the five years in the fiefdom, every time something happened, my father would ask for their opinions.

He frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he slowly said, "Father, I think the Crown Prince's idea is very good."

His voice was steady as he analyzed the pros and cons. "The reason why the Second Prince dared to be so arrogant is indeed because he has the support of the Wen family. If we can find out that the Wen family and their disciples are corrupt, it will not only weaken the Second Prince's power, but also rectify the atmosphere in the court."

After hearing what his son said, Xie Mochen just smiled and said nothing.

This made the two teenagers a little nervous. They stared at Xie Mochen closely, trying to find some clues from his expression.

I even began to doubt whether my previous approach was correct.

Xie Yixuan couldn't help but cough lightly, breaking the somewhat oppressive silence, "Uncle Huang, do you think there is anything wrong with our method?"

Xie Yixiao also looked at his father nervously, waiting for his response.

The atmosphere in the study became increasingly solemn, as if even the air had solidified.

Xie Mochen smiled, and there was a hint of deep meaning in that smile.

He raised his fingers slightly and tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic "tap-tap" sound.

The sound was particularly clear in the quiet study, as if it was knocking on the thoughts of the two teenagers.

He glanced at the two people's faces, then slowly retracted his gaze.

That glance seemed to contain endless meaning, which made the two young men feel nervous.

After a while, the tapping sound stopped and the study fell into silence.

Then, Xie Mochen spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful: "I want to ask you, what is the basis for the Wen family to be so arrogant?"

When these words came out, the two teenagers were stunned.

There was a flash of confusion in their eyes, and then they began to fall into deep thought.

But soon, they understood as if they had suddenly been enlightened.

"Father, you mean that the source is Concubine Wenxi." Xie Yixiao asked directly.

There was a hint of sudden enlightenment in his eyes, and his brows were slightly furrowed as he thought about the connection.

Xie Yixuan also nodded in understanding, and echoed: "Uncle Huang is right. It is precisely because of the Imperial Concubine Wen Xi in the palace that Lord Wen and his disciples have ambitions."

They realized that a concubine favored by the emperor was indeed the source of confidence for the Second Prince and others.

With the support and protection of the imperial concubine in the palace, the Wen family and their disciples dared to act so unscrupulously.

Xie Mochen nodded, with admiration in his eyes, and said to the two of them, "You're not stupid. Do you know what to do now?"

However, the two teenagers looked confused.

Although they understood the key to the problem, they still had no idea about the specific solution.

Their eyes were full of confusion. They looked at each other, then looked at Xie Mochen, expecting his further instructions.

The atmosphere in the study became solemn again, and the two young men's hearts were filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

They knew the importance of the matter, but didn't know how to start.

Xie Mochen looked at the two young men's bewildered expressions, shook his head slightly, and spoke again: "Since we know that the source is Concubine Wenxi, we must find a breakthrough from her."

When Xie Yixiu and Xie Yixiao heard this, a hint of thought flashed in their eyes.

Xie Yixuan was the first to speak: "Uncle, but Concubine Wenxi is deeply favored by our father. How can we start with her?"

Xie Mochen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile: "No matter how favored the imperial concubine is, she cannot touch the emperor's bottom line. Think about it, what is the emperor most intolerant of?"

The two boys fell into deep thought.

After a moment, Xie Yixiao's eyes lit up and he said, "Father, what the emperor cannot tolerate most is people forming cliques for personal gain and attacking our mother."

Xie Mochen nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes, "Yes, Xiao'er is right. What the emperor cannot tolerate most is someone forming a clique to threaten his throne and harm the queen. Imperial Concubine Wenxi is now relying on the emperor's favor to indulge the Wen family and their disciples to stir up trouble in the court, which is already suspected of forming a clique for personal gain. And if she does anything improper to the queen, the emperor will definitely not sit idly by."

Xie Yixuan frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Uncle, can we secretly keep an eye on Concubine Wenxi's actions? If she does anything against my mother, we can report it to my father in time."

Xie Mochen nodded slightly, "Okay, but don't rush it. We must first collect evidence of the Wen family and their disciples' corruption and collusion, and when the time is right, we will present the evidence to the emperor. At the same time, we must also pay attention to protecting the queen and others, and not let Concubine Wen Xi take advantage of the opportunity."
