Ministers made me a male queen

The fourth prince was dumbfounded, he never thought that what was originally a sure thing would be defeated by such unimaginable two points.

The first point is that he was supposed to meet the fifth prince, who could not wait to accomplish something good, but in the end, Prince Yu did the opposite. Not only was he not dazzled by the beauty, but he even called for help?The second point is that they think it is not normal for them to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a set of jewelry?They are princes, even a merchant with a little money can take it out?

How could the boss be so poor?

As if to irritate him, the old emperor looked at the pale faces of the Fourth Prince and Empress Qi, "I'm afraid you don't know that the boss even sold his own jewelry to make a set of jewelry for Concubine Xin to supplement her some money. Industry and fertile land are very tight, but I can't see that I have rewarded some money and these two villages. What's more, it was not accidental that the fifth child went to the hot spring village. It was my suggestion, not the so-called coincidence and boss that you say special calculations."

Empress Qi grabbed her handkerchief and screamed inwardly. It was too late when the fourth child came to tell the emperor what happened, and the time was urgent. In order to save the emperor, she could only follow him and push everything to the eldest brother, but who knew , this matter will have such a reversal.

She felt uneasy for a while, and wanted to get away to find her father and elder brother for help, she lowered her eyes, "I didn't expect it to be like this, the concubine didn't notice for a while... I misunderstood the eldest prince, Your Majesty, since this matter has nothing to do with the third child, The concubine will leave first..."

It's just that before she finished speaking, the old emperor interrupted with a sneer, "Queen, you'd better not leave, who said that this matter has nothing to do with the third child?" Want to ask Elder Qi Ge for help?The fourth child always followed the example of the third child, but he would not believe that this matter had nothing to do with the third child.

Dare to fool him, is this true? When he is old, so he can fool casually?

Eunuch Liu went out of the palace in person to do errands according to the old emperor's orders. Jiao Yun had detoxified and sobered up a long time ago. There was nothing wrong with him. He waited in the Zhenbao Pavilion early in the morning. When Eunuch Liu came over in person, his face was still pale and his hands Holding the account book in his pocket, "Since Eunuch Liu came here in person, I am afraid that the people in the attic will not be able to tell, it is better for me to go there in person. After all, I am also involved in this matter, and I want to see it. Who is so courageous to plot against me like this."

Eunuch Liu's heart was pounding. He usually looked at Shizi Yu who didn't care about anything, but he didn't expect to start a fire so frightening. He had no objection. The emperor only said to bring the account book back. Since the person involved is also going, he naturally dare not stop.

When Jiao Yun followed Eunuch Liu back to the palace and arrived at the gate of the palace, he happened to "chance" into Nie Baichang who came over.

Eunuch Liu was taken aback when he saw the Fifth Prince, "Your Majesty the Fifth Prince is not feeling well, why do you need to come here?"

Nie Baichang lowered his eyes, wearing a mask on his face so he couldn't see clearly, but coughed a few times from time to time, his gaze shifted from Eunuch Liu to Jiao Yun, his tone was not as cold as usual, but more gentle, "Since it involves me It is necessary to come here with the son. This time, the son has a heart."

Jiao Yun was "flattered": "What is your Highness saying, you should."

Eunuch Liu was dumbfounded, and he just looked at the one who was thinking about the other and the one who was thinking about it, because this matter suddenly eased the relationship?At least seeing that the Fifth Prince didn't dislike the Crown Prince Yu so much?They are all willing to give a good face.

But when you think about it, it doesn't matter much. He was a witness when Prince Yu fell in love with the Fifth Prince at first sight. Mingming Prince Yu is so devoted to the Fifth Prince, but he still maintains a gentleman's demeanor when he really has a great opportunity in front of him.

After all, if this matter really happens, and Prince Yu suffers, with the degree of old Yan Wang's protection of the calf, he will definitely force the fifth prince to marry him.

But Prince Yu ignored this opportunity but didn't make a move, and even helped the Fifth Prince, this...

Eunuch Liu felt that he treated gentlemen with the heart of a villain in the past. Although Prince Yu was born as a merchant, his character was much higher than those of the princes.

When the old emperor was in the imperial study room and heard Eunuch Liu's announcement that not only the prince Yu but also the fifth son had come, he was also stunned for a moment. Eunuch Liu whispered a few words in his ear, explaining the reactions of the two people at the gate of the palace before, The old emperor was only concerned about being angry before, but he forgot Shizi Yu's gentlemanly manner. Now that he thinks about it, Shizi Yu not only doesn't care about those powers, but also doesn't want military power. …

Looking at these worthless princes, the old emperor felt his eyes hurt just by looking at them.

The old emperor asked Eunuch Liu to let the two of them and the people sent to investigate come in. He asked Jiao Yun, who was saluting, to stand up, his calm face softening, "You suffered a crime last night, Eunuch Liu, please give me your seat."

Jiao Yun was not too polite, and sat on the chairs on one side with Nie Baichang on the left and one on the right. They were sitting, and the person kneeling on the ground in front of them, two princes and a queen, looked at it like this, and felt extraordinarily comfortable.

Empress Qi and the others were not so happy. She hadn't been so ashamed for so many years, but now that the emperor was angry, she didn't dare to provoke the old emperor anymore, so she could only bite the bullet and lower her eyes, hoping that her father would get the news as soon as possible Come to help intercede, otherwise, if the emperor really finds out something, I'm afraid...the emperor's son can only live in the clan's mansion for this year.

The old emperor didn't seem to see Empress Qi's uneasy expression, and looked at Jiao Yun who was beside him, "Your Majesty Yu, tell me why you appeared in the hot spring villa last night?"

Jiao Yun took out an account book from his pocket and handed it over. Eunuch Liu took it, opened the folded page and put it in front of the old emperor, "Your Majesty, this is a set of jewelry ordered by someone a few days ago. Ten thousand taels, a deposit of five thousand, but someone said that his master is not in good health, so I need to go there in person to inquire about the style and details of the jewelry. I thought it would be okay to make a trip if I could earn so much money, so I followed the person's instructions. The address left has gone.

It's just that when I finally got to the mountain, it was already dark at that time. I didn't expect it to be so far away and so high. I thought that there was a place on the mountain where Zhuangzi thought it was that person, but I didn't think much about it. When I got there, I found... Zhuangzi of the eldest prince.

The First Prince didn't know why I came. After I made it clear, the First Prince originally wanted to send me down the mountain, but it was already too late. If I go down the mountain again and rush back, I'm afraid the gate of the city will be closed when I get there, so I stayed one night.Later, I slept until midnight, and fell asleep when I smelled something for no reason, and when I woke up again, I felt that my whole body was not right, not only that..."

Speaking of this, Jiao Yun took a peek at the people around him, his ears were reddish, and he coughed unnaturally, "There is still the Fifth Highness lying beside me, I am a merchant, and after seeing these nasty things, I thought that someone might be doing it on purpose." It doesn't matter if I have an accident, but the fifth prince is innocent and his health is not good. If he is injured by the medicine or gets angry, he will be bad. I will call for help before I lose my mind with the effect of the medicine. Fortunately At that time, the First Prince heard about it, and he came very quickly. He realized that something was wrong with us, and asked the doctor to detoxify us. It's just... His Highness Fifth. His health was not good, and he vomited a mouthful of blood at that time.

Your Majesty, you must catch the people behind the scenes. It's too abominable. How could His Highness the Fifth Prince be so ruthless? What if...what if something happens. "

After he finished speaking, he took a peek at the people around him again, changing his usual indifference, Eunuch Liu noticed that the Fifth Prince was looking at him, although he couldn't see him wearing a mask, he nodded, obviously grateful.

Eunuch Liu had a bad premonition, and the old emperor felt a little bit in his heart, what is the fifth?

It's just that the current situation does not allow the old emperor to think too much, he frowned, "Eunuch Liu, how is the fourth brother?"

Eunuch Liu asked the rest of the people who went to investigate to report one by one, and finally put the evidence on the table quickly. After the old emperor finished reading it, he threw out the account book in his hand, his face darkened, "fourth, fourth, tell me A few days ago, you went to the bank to withdraw 1 taels. What about the money? Why did you suddenly withdraw so much money? Also, why have you been to the clan mansion so frequently these days? What did you say when you saw the third child? talk!"

The fourth prince was startled, and knelt there trembling all over, "I, I... I took the money to be useful, it's for..."

The old emperor sneered, "Why did you take your third brother's token to go to the bank to get his money? Tell me, if you don't tell me, then this matter will be on you, and I won't leave this kind of harm Brother's bastard, why don't I demote you to a commoner?" The old emperor's words were meant to frighten the fourth prince, he couldn't really demote you just by saying so.

But this is the first time for the fourth prince to encounter this kind of thing. There was a third prince standing in front of him before. He was trembling with fright and his mind was in a mess. He can't be demoted to a commoner, and he might not be able to survive by then, " No, father, my son was wrong! My son was really wrong! The third brother forced me to go! My son didn't even want to!"

The fourth prince was so frightened that his mouth bald, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, so he just said that.

Empress Qi was so frightened that she scolded him: "Fourth Prince, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

The fourth prince had a mournful face, and he said everything, so he could only bite the bullet, "Father, my son really didn't tell lies, it's the third brother... I have already placed someone in the eldest brother's mansion, and I learned that the eldest brother is going to marry the fifth brother." When my brother went to the Hot Spring Villa, he was angry because Concubine Xin asked him to be locked up in the clan mansion, and wanted to push all the previous things on the eldest brother, so he simply... wanted to lure the son of Yu over there, thinking that what if the son of the emperor and the son of the emperor had a relationship with him? The fifth younger brother is done. At that time, I can use this matter to hold the eldest brother accountable, and by the way, think of the previous incident, just, just..."

The fourth prince didn't dare to continue, Empress Qi wanted to explain with a pale face, but when she met the old emperor's gloomy gaze, she trembled in fright, her whole body went limp, with an ominous feeling, this time, Huang'er, I'm afraid... ...it's really over.

The old emperor looked at them one by one, nodded in the void, and sneered sarcastically, "Okay, it's really good, you all have the courage, don't take me seriously, dare to be in my nose It's really good that you are plotting against me like this. Since you want brothers to kill each other so much, then don't be a brother!"

"Your majesty!" Empress Qi was startled, "I beg you to spare the emperor once, he, he was also acting on his will, he knew he was wrong."

But the old emperor didn't look at her again, "Did I know it was wrong? Last time I kept that matter a secret, but what happened? He is really capable of plotting against his brother after he has been introspecting in the clan mansion. Since he is not rare, then …Eunuch Liu, go to the clan’s residence to pass on my oral decree that the third prince will be deprived of his status as a prince and demoted to be a county king. After the sentence expires in three months, he will be imprisoned for another half a year as a warning to others.”

Empress Qi was so frightened that her face turned pale. She opened her mouth to say something, but she shivered when she met the old emperor's dangerous gaze, but she didn't dare to say it. There was only one thought in her mind: It's over.

Jiao Yun has been paying attention to Empress Qi, her eyes fell on her trembling, restless and frightened expression, and her face was inexplicable. More than 20 years ago, she also watched the Bai family being framed like this, and even contributed to the flames. She also watched helplessly. The concubine Bai was wronged and begged the old emperor to intercede for the Bai family, but what did she do?In private, he stepped on the foundation of the Ning family and completely destroyed the entire Bai family.

At that time, did she ever think that one day, she would be schemed and framed like this?

In the dark, people still can't do so many bad things, otherwise, there will always be a day when they will get retribution.
