Although Shi Yu came here to compete for the throne, after all, Shi Yu also knew his disadvantage, that is, he was born in a theater. If he did not have a strong force to support him, he would naturally lose the opportunity.

At that time, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had not yet lost its power and of course had a huge influence in the court. In addition, they were related by blood. Under such circumstances, this was of course the best choice for Shi Yu.

Of course, Shi Yu was not afraid that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would not choose him. After all, over the years, their relationship with Jiang Shichen had deteriorated and gradually formed a hostile relationship.

They also knew that if the emperor in power was one who was hostile to them, the end of the Zhenguo Mansion would be imminent.

But Shi Yu must also demonstrate his ability and value, otherwise the old Duke Zhenguo would rather choose a more distant royal relative than him.

The Duke of Zhenguo has deep feelings for the people and the country, and they will not cause unrest in the world because of their own selfish interests.

How could Shi Yu, who is capable and visionary, not satisfy the Duke of Zhenguo?

So on this day, both the host and the guests at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had a great time.

"You know what! Jiang Shichen made a big fool of himself today in the court..."

Third uncle Che Fengyun told Shi Yu what happened in the court today as a joke, and the Duke of Zhenguo did not stop him, because this matter would be beneficial to Shi Yu anyway.

After all, after this incident, Jiang Shichen was further away from the throne.

Shi Yu smiled and said that he understood, but he thought in his heart that this was just a small fight and there were more things waiting for him!

What happened in the court quickly spread, and Jiang Shichen became a laughing stock. Although no one dared to say it to his face, there were still many rumors in private.

But at the same time, there was another saying circulating in the palace, which was that the prince who had just returned to the palace was incompatible with the emperor and had brought bad luck to the emperor.

Although the Queen dealt with the matter promptly after learning about it, and found out that it was Xia Bailian who was responsible, she had no evidence and could only give her a severe punishment and demoted her position, but this did not hurt her at all.

Xia Bailian deliberately spread this matter, and the emperor naturally knew about it. Although he thought the statement was ridiculous, he still believed it twice.

Or maybe she didn't believe it at all, but just simply disliked the child. When she saw him, she thought of her previous life of being humble and submissive, and thought of her own despicable thoughts, so she wanted to throw him away.

Then he instructed Eunuch Su to tell Shi Yu to go to court the next morning.

Eunuch Su arranged for someone to notify him, but as soon as Shi Yu opened his mouth, he knew what the emperor was thinking and agreed immediately.

He just wanted to get rid of himself, but before leaving Beijing, he wanted to give Jiang Shichen a surprise.

When night came, Shi Yu sneaked out again. Shi Yu now felt as if he was working overtime, every day.

Shi Yu sneaked into Jiang Shichen's house as if he knew the place well. Jiang Shichen was angry again because he had lost another tooth not long ago.

This tooth grows next to the front teeth and can be seen when speaking.

The imperial physician made dentures for him, but although the dentures were relatively white, they were too fake and had a noticeable color difference from his other teeth. They were also not strong and fell off easily.

This is also the best denture that the imperial physician can make. Jiang Shichen has no choice but to try this denture.

Jiang Shichen was extremely angry because this would make him even further away from the throne.

Moreover, it was recently revealed that he was a fake prince, which had already caused some of his people to wait and see. Now that such an incident happened, the remaining people who followed him also had certain doubts about him.

This situation makes Jiang Shichen feel tricky. Jiang Shiyu cannot move for the time being, because if he moves, someone will suspect him.

Whatever is done will leave traces. He is very clear about this. If he does it, he doesn't think he can completely get rid of suspicion.

In this case, Jiang Shichen had to find another way to get rid of him.

"Happy news, your highness, there is happy news."

Jiang Shichen's confidant suddenly came in and said, with a smile on his face.

"The Queen suddenly sent someone to say that she has blamed Shi Yu for the Emperor's illness, and the Emperor has summoned Shi Yu to court tomorrow. So we can think of a way to get Shi Yu sent far away. Then, in this way, you, the Crown Prince, will have the final say in the capital."

"Great! Mother is really good at this. She can turn the tide in one stroke. As long as I do my part and let father see my miserable appearance, he will definitely be on my side."

Jiang Shichen immediately became excited. He felt that this news came at the right time.

Shi Yu didn't believe that this news could be leaked without the emperor's authorization. The harem was not an ordinary place. Even if Xia Bailian was capable, Shi Yu didn't believe that this news could come out without the emperor's tacit approval or even help.

After the person who brought the message left, Shi Yu naturally blew some smoke into his mouth to make him fall asleep, and then stuffed a few pills into his mouth. Shi Yu waited to see the show.

On the other side of the mansion, the hostess was not in such a good mood. Jiang Shichen was obviously not happy to see her, and she was also very distressed.

Of course Cheng Hongwen knew that as soon as Jiang Shichen saw her, he would think of the embarrassing incident of last night, but if they didn't see each other for a long time, their feelings would fade, which would be detrimental to her future development.

Shi Yu left contentedly again, went back to rest, and waited for the next day's morning court session.

It was still dark, and only the faint sound of a few roosters crowing could be heard.

Shi Yu got up early to prepare for the morning court session.

When the morning court session started, there was nothing major to discuss except the possible drought in the distant border areas.

This matter had come to light a few days ago, and since the place was remote and there wasn't necessarily a drought, just a lot of sunny days, the court had not paid much attention to the matter before.

However, today, contrary to his usual practice, this matter was treated as a major event. It has to be said that this was a move by the emperor.

"Royal brother, are you willing to help share this task and relieve father's worries?"

Seeing that the discussion was almost complete, Jiang Shichen made a request to Shi Yu in time.

"Brother, what happened to your teeth?"

A fatal blow!

Shi Yu didn't respond, but stared at Jiang Shichen's teeth with a concerned look on his face.

Jiang Shichen suddenly choked up, not knowing what to say, and his neck turned red.

"Brother, you are suffering from bone atrophy. You need to exercise some self-control, or you won't be able to save your teeth!"

Shi Yu's eyes were full of worry, as if he really cared about his brother.

"Don't bother with that!"

Jiang Shichen took a long time to utter these words. Now he just wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible. He felt that everyone was watching him.

"How can you be so aloof, my brother? I am concerned about you, so please don't be afraid to seek medical treatment."

Shi Yu knew that this was just a small matter and that he would be happy for a while after just a few words. Shi Yu did not want the country to be in turmoil, so he still needed the support of his ministers to ascend to the throne.
