Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince

next day

When the news of the prince's death was announced, everyone was shocked.

Everyone knows that the prince is sickly.

But no one expected that the prince would disappear so quietly.

The emperor ordered that the prince had passed away and the people of Daqing had to mourn for him for three months.

You are not allowed to drink alcohol or have fun, and you are not allowed to get married within three months. Violators will be severely punished.

A white banner was hung in the East Palace, and the emperor claimed to be ill and suspended court for a day.

The queen couldn't bear the blow and fell ill.

The other princes each had their own thoughts and appeared to be in great grief. Prince Jin even put on a big show and cried loudly in the East Palace.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Prince Jin was extremely happy.

Jiang Chuwei told Prince Yu everything that happened when the prince passed away.

Prince Yu: "Are you saying that the prince died of depression?"

"Yes, he is determined to die." Jiang Chuwei said affirmatively.

Why would someone who wants to have a baby stop taking medicine without permission?

As the next emperor, the prince seems to have no political achievements and stays in the East Palace every day. This negative approach is to make everyone forget about him as the prince. "

“The prince suffered a lot when he was young, and the queen had high hopes for him.

The prince cannot bear this.

The queen can do nothing but being jealous.

The prince has no capable maternal family to help him.

The emperor did not deliberately train a prince.

The ministers are all shrewd people.

How could they not know what the emperor was thinking?

No minister was willing to stand on the side of the prince.

Then he took all the grievances he had suffered from his father and directed them back to the prince."

"Then how come they, mother and son, can survive in this cannibalistic harem?"

Jiang Chuwei was very surprised.

"Because of my father!"

Lin Muheng said.

"As long as they occupy this position, the noble families will be eager to make a move but they dare not blatantly seize the position of Queen and Crown Prince."

Jiang Chuwei said: "It turns out that both of them became targets released by the emperor."

"That's the reason." Lin Muheng said.

"The court is in turmoil. The crown prince has passed away, and a new round of succession struggle is bound to come to light."

Jiang Chuwei said: "Your Majesty will also become the target of the noble families' support."

"This king will definitely plan carefully."

Lin Muheng looked ahead with a determined look, knowing that the situation would become even more serious. Jiang Chuwei nodded slightly, expressing her trust in him.

The prince's death did not cause much stir.

The emperor, who had many sons, was grief-stricken for less than a month.

Three months later

Lin Muheng and Jiang Chuwei are drinking tea.

They now get together every now and then in their spare time.

At this time, the servant came running over and knelt down to report: "My Lord, there is news from the palace that His Majesty intends to choose a new candidate for the Crown Prince from among the princes."

Lin Muheng frowned slightly, thinking: As expected, everything is just as we expected. He turned to Jiang Chuwei and said, "It seems that the battle for the throne is about to officially begin.

We need more intelligence and support.”

Jiang Chuwei smiled knowingly and said confidently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the General's Mansion will use all its strength to assist Your Majesty. But... we need to be careful in dealing with various forces, especially those aristocratic families."

Lin Muheng held Jiang Chuwei's hand tightly and looked at her gratefully. They both knew that the road ahead was full of challenges, but they were ready to face the storm.

Lin Muheng nodded and said, "Thank you, General."

At this time, another person came to report, "Your Majesty, Prince Jin sent someone to deliver an invitation to you to attend the banquet tonight."

Lin Muheng looked at Jiang Chuwei and asked, "Do you think this banquet is a fraud?"

Jiang Chuwei analyzed: "Prince Jin doesn't interact much with the prince on weekdays. He might have other intentions by suddenly inviting him now."

Lin Muheng pondered for a moment and decided, "It doesn't matter. Since he has sent an invitation, if I don't go, it will seem guilty. You make arrangements and we will go to the banquet after nightfall."

Jiang Chuwei responded, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away. But, Your Majesty, you still have to be more careful."

As night fell, Lin Muheng brought Jiang Chuwei to the mansion of King Jin. At the banquet, everyone seemed to be chatting and laughing, but in fact they were secretly competing with each other.

The three-month national mourning period passed in a flash.

The ministers also held their breath and wanted to relax for once.

Almost all the ministers were invited to the banquet at Prince Jin's Palace.

Regardless of whether they are on King Jin's side or not, everyone came to show their support.

The banquet was approved by the emperor.

The emperor now holds all power firmly in his own hands.

Prince Jin and the other princes no longer pose a threat to the Emperor.

When Lin Muheng and Jiang Chuwei arrived, Prince Jin's Mansion was already bustling with activity.

King Jin treats everyone warmly.

Lin Muheng and Jiang Chuwei exchanged glances, knowing that this banquet must be extraordinary. While they were talking with other ministers, they were also paying attention to Prince Jin's actions.

After three rounds of drinking, King Jin stood up, raised his glass with a smile, and toasted everyone. Everyone responded and drank it all in one gulp.

However, at this moment, a palace maid quietly walked up to Lin Muheng and handed him a note. Lin Muheng unfolded it and saw that it clearly said: "Be careful with the alcohol." He was startled and immediately handed the note to Jiang Chuwei.

After reading it, Jiang Chuwei nodded slightly, signaling Lin Muheng not to say anything.

Let's see what Prince Jin wants to do.

Prince Jin was so bold as to attack him, so Lin Muheng dared to let him be retaliated against.

Lin Muheng pretended to drink, but actually secretly spilled the wine on his sleeves when no one was paying attention. After a while, he noticed that King Jin's eyes were occasionally looking at him, and he became more convinced that there was something wrong with the wine.

When King Jin raised his glass again, Lin Muheng suddenly stood up and left the banquet on the pretext of going to the toilet. Seeing this, Jiang Chuwei also found an excuse to follow him out.

In the corridor, Lin Muheng whispered to Jiang Chuwei, "I suspect Prince Jin has tampered with the drinks. Be careful when you go back later. I will find a way to investigate it thoroughly." Jiang Chuwei nodded to show that she understood.

Lin Muheng turned and left, secretly swearing in his heart that he would make King Jin pay the price for his actions.

Jiang Chuwei said, "Your Highness, I tried it. This wine is indeed poisonous, but it is not a highly toxic drug. A small amount will only make people feel slightly dizzy, which will heal in a short while. However, if you take it a second time, it will be fatal."

Lin Muheng's face was as cold as ice: "The second brother wants to kill me."

Lin Muheng: "Yeyu, go and make every guest take some of the poison that King Jin prepared today."

"Yes!" Ye Yu immediately became invisible.

As long as you keep an eye on who made the prince's wine jug, you can find the poison.

Ye Yu’s efficiency was indeed very fast. Not long after a secret signal was given, everything was done.

Jiang Chuwei returned to the banquet and observed the reactions of the crowd calmly. She found that some officials began to show symptoms of discomfort, some were dizzy, and some even began to vomit.

Prince Jin was shocked and realized the seriousness of the situation, so he secretly sent someone to invite the imperial physician.

Soon, the imperial physician arrived and, after diagnosis, confirmed that the wine was poisoned.

Lin Muheng did not show up after leaving the table. He pretended to have just learned the news and immediately rushed back to the banquet to discuss the detoxification method with the imperial physician.

At this moment, Prince Jin was watching all this with a gloomy face. He did not expect that Lin Muheng would be so alert.

It caught him off guard.

Everyone who came to the banquet today was an important figure.

Everyone felt dizzy and Prince Jin had made a big mess.

He never expected that Lin Muheng would be so cruel.

He actually dared to poison all the guests.

He looked at Lin Muheng and saw that he looked as if it had nothing to do with him.

Miss Jiang was taking the pulse of each of the female relatives.

Prince Jin's forehead was covered with sweat. He knew that he had to take action to save the situation, otherwise his reputation would be damaged and the consequences would be disastrous.

He stood up and spoke in a dignified voice: "Everyone, this incident will be investigated to the end, and I will give you an explanation." Then he ordered his men to seal up all the food and wine and prepare to send them for inspection.

At the same time, Prince Jin looked at Lin Muheng fiercely: "Fifth brother, does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Lin Muheng responded calmly: "Brother Prince Jin, at the banquet in your house, you asked me if it was related. Are you mentally ill?"

"Then why do everyone else have problems but you are the only one who doesn't?" Prince Jin pressed.

"Aren't Brother Jin and Princess Jin fine? Aren't you two more suspicious? I came to visit Prince Jin's mansion because you invited me. I wasn't poisoned because I didn't drink your wine. Because I don't trust you!"

"You!" Prince Jin was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Their eyes met, sparks flew, and everyone present held their breath, watching what would happen.

Today is the official breakup.
