These words have been held in Prince Cheng's heart for a long time, especially the actions of Emperor Chongming during this period, in which the intention to support the tenth prince is so obvious that it is difficult for him to pretend that he has not seen it.

Emperor Chongming obviously didn't expect Prince Cheng to speak directly, his face changed a few times: "Your tenth brother used to study abroad and is not familiar with the imperial court, so I must have taken care of him..."

The more Emperor Chongming spoke, the lower his voice. He himself knew how ironic these words were to the other son. The Tenth Prince was his son, and the King Cheng in front of him was also his son. Why don't you see him thinking about it for King Cheng? two?

"Father is really ridiculous. No accidents. The tenth younger brother is appointed queen, and he has to go to the fief just like his son. What if he is not familiar with the government? Does it affect him?" Cheng Wang sarcastically raised the corners of his lips, "Unless, father never wanted him to go to the fiefdom from the beginning to the end."

King Cheng knew very well that he had torn the face of Emperor Chongming by pointing out these things today. He was not a three-year-old child, but had passed the age of innocence.

Growing up in the royal family, life taught him the most important thing is that if you want something, you have to fight for it and grab it yourself, no one will send those things to you.

"Father wants to keep the tenth brother so much, isn't he afraid that he will follow in the footsteps of the seventh brother?"

"What do you mean?" Emperor Chongming looked at Prince Cheng in surprise.

How did King Cheng know what happened to the Seventh Prince in the palace back then, because he was concerned about the face of the royal family and didn't say anything about it?

How much does he know?What does he mean when he said that the old ten steps in the footsteps of the old seven?

"I don't have any other intentions. I just want to tell my father that it is better to find someone who is capable instead of supporting a trash. Maybe he can achieve his long-cherished wish. It's not that I look down on the tenth brother. If he confronts the crown prince, he will end up... I'm afraid it won't be too good."

Emperor Chongming's face became more and more ugly. After all, King Cheng saved some face for him and didn't say anything too harsh.

"Four years ago, the dead end made the prince open up a new road, let alone now, the prince has military power in his hands, oh, yes, father, it has been so long, you haven't taken back the military power in his hand , Father really thinks that the tenth younger brother can compete with the crown prince?"

"How do you know these things?" Emperor Chongming looked complicated. It seemed that he had always underestimated the second son.

King Cheng waved his hand indifferently: "My ministers always have a way to know these things. Even if the emperor killed many ministers to conceal the truth, there will always be some people who know the inside story."

Having said this, Emperor Chongming has no intention to hide it with him: "The other palace is all yours, right? Since I was robbed, I have fallen into your trap. I have been standing still, just wanting to Look, what are you going to do."

"When did the father know about it?" Cheng Wang didn't deny what he had done, and compared with what he was about to do, those were not worth mentioning.

Emperor Chongming didn't answer. At first, like everyone else, he simply thought it was just an accident. Later, he found out that a group of people in the other palace had changed silently. He realized something was wrong.

After several trials, my heart sank more and more.

As for the hijacking, he said that on purpose, defrauding King Cheng. He didn't have any evidence at hand to prove that it was related to King Cheng. He didn't think about it, and King Cheng admitted it directly.

"It doesn't matter if the father doesn't want to say anything." Cheng Wang didn't expect to know anything from Emperor Chongming, "Since the father is seriously ill, it's better to take good care of it, and the ministers will share the worries of the father with the outside things."

An imperial decree was passed to the capital, and the king was honored to rescue him, so he was allowed to enter the court and share the emperor's worries with the crown prince and King Xuan.

"How is the situation in the other palace?" In the study, Xiao Shengyun casually knocked on the table.

"Returning to Your Highness, the emperor was imprisoned by King Cheng, and the board and lodging were taken over by King Cheng's people, so he couldn't contact outsiders."

"Let the people in other palaces find a way to get close to the place where the emperor is imprisoned, contact the emperor, and then pass the news to the court."

"Yes."

Xuanwang Mansion.

"Why did the emperor suddenly promote Prince Cheng?"

One of King Xuan's confidants was puzzled.

"Besides, for the meritorious service in saving Jia, the reward should have been rewarded long ago. How come it has been delayed until now? It is said that Cheng Wang's people have been guarding the other palace. Could it be that the other palace has changed?" The last few words, Xuan Wang's confidant To put it lightly.

Palace change, no matter what the situation is, is something that makes people change their faces.

"My lord, what shall we do?"

The crown prince is in the limelight. In order to avoid his edge, the presence of King Xuan's lineage has been greatly reduced during this period. The situation in the court is unclear, and they can't expose too much before Tu Qiongdagger meets.

"Let's see what my good second brother is going to do first. If he wants to fight with the prince, let them fight." fear.

Because they knew that if they couldn't suppress the prince once and for all, what awaited them would be a catastrophe.

"I thought that four years ago, the prince had been driven into a desperate situation, but I didn't expect not only to let him find a way out, but also to give him a chance to turn against the wind."

As a result, after the prince woke up, King Xuan had to go into hibernation to seek another chance.

When King Cheng entered the imperial court, at first, the court ministers didn't think he could cause any disturbances. After all, King Cheng had left the capital, the center of power, for many years.

But the development of things has exceeded their expectations, and Cheng Wang's power in the court is far greater than they imagined.

The first thing King Cheng suppressed was the forces under the Tenth Prince. Without Emperor Chongming, the immature Tenth Prince was no match for King Cheng at all, and was soon defeated by the opponent's suppression.

There was a three-legged confrontation in the court, King Cheng's momentum was much stronger than that of the tenth prince, and the courtiers who originally supported the seventh prince found a new backbone, and they suddenly gained confidence in speaking in the court.

The harem has a close relationship with the former court, and the movement in the court affects the harem, and the queen came to the East Palace worried.

"I don't know what your father thinks, letting such a rich wolf into the court."

"Father and emperor can't protect themselves and can't take care of the court. Mother and queen don't have to worry, Chengwang can't be successful." Xiao Shengyun's eyes were deep, "It won't be long, these will no longer be troubles."

Ever since Emperor Chongming became suspicious of Jiang Ling, Xiao Shengyun had no plan to let him stay on the throne safely until the end of his life. If he didn't ascend to the highest position, he couldn't ensure that Jiang Ling's strangeness would not be discovered by others.

Therefore, he secretly promoted all this to happen. King Cheng has ambitions, and his ambitions will drive him into the net he set.

"It's good if you have success in your heart. The queen mother and the Xie family will always stand behind you." The queen expressed the attitude of herself and the Xie family. The actions of Emperor Chongming have completely chilled them.

In addition to Xie Siyao who works in the court, the Xie family has more members scattered in various places in Daqi. Because of Emperor Chongming's suppression and self-protection, they have exiled themselves from the center of power bit by bit over the years. However, Emperor Chongming still refused to rest assured that if the Xie family hadn't been cautious, there would have been no serious mistakes, and the Xie family would not have survived safely until now.

The Empress seldom comes to the Eastern Palace. This time, she found that the layout of the Eastern Palace is quite different from the impression. Compared with the previous cold and hard style, the current Eastern Palace is very warm.

"Your Highness doesn't call me when the queen mother comes." Jiang Ling woke up from a nap, and heard Qingyao say that the queen is here, so she hurriedly changed her clothes and came out.

"This palace didn't let him call you." The queen looked at Jiang Ling's sleeping flushed cheeks, and the smile on her face deepened. "Recently, Jingming Palace's small kitchen has made some new snacks. Come and try them."

The empress likes to send all kinds of food to the East Palace, Jiang Ling is used to it, so she immediately sat over and said, "Then I have to taste it, every time the empress sends food is very delicious."

This time the queen brought plum blossom crisps, the outer skin is crispy, and the inner filling is soft and sweet. A piece of plum blossom crisps is only the size of glutinous rice balls, which fits into one bite.

After Jiang Ling finished eating a piece, she subconsciously shared it with Xiao Shengyun: "Your Highness, take a bite too."

The pastry had a faint fragrance of plum blossoms. Jiang Ling held the plum blossom crisps in one hand and picked up the "How about it?"

"It's sweet."

"I just said it was delicious, Your Highness, would you like to have another piece?" After speaking, Jiang Ling suddenly realized that there were elders here, and he looked at the queen unconsciously.

"Don't worry about me, you can do as you usually get along with each other." The smile on the queen's face did not diminish.

Jiang Ling embarrassedly scratched her cheek and lowered her head.

There was a sudden heat on his face, Xiao Chengyun's fingers brushed across his face, Jiang Ling raised his eyes and looked at him suspiciously.

"There's some dessert on my face." There were still crumbs of dessert on Xiao Shengyun's fingertips.

Jiang Ling hurriedly took the veil and wiped it off for him. If it was not from time to time, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Xiao Chengyun's behavior, but now, the queen is here, and that is Xiao Chengyun's mother. Jiang Ling always feels that she is not very stable.

The queen didn't stay for long, and after talking with the two of them, she got up and left.

"His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess are very affectionate." On the way back to Jingming Palace, Jin Zhu said.

"Xiaoling is a good boy. With Xiaoling by his side, I can feel at ease." As a mother, the queen was deeply touched by the changes in the prince.

Jiang Ling felt that the Queen came to the East Palace with great difficulty, and that she hadn't performed well, so she was a little unhappy.

"What is Ling'er upset about?" Xiao Chengyun held Jiang Ling in his arms and watched the memorial.

"Your Highness," Jiang Ling put down the notebook in her hand, turned over to face Xiao Shengyun, and sat on his lap, "When will the Empress come to the East Palace next time?"

With this posture, Xiao Shengyun could no longer read the notebook, so he had to put the notebook on the small table: "What's wrong?"

"Next time my mother comes back, I must behave well."

Originally still troubled by this matter, Xiao Chengyun laughed: "Ling'er's performance is already very good, didn't Ling'er notice that here, the queen mother always has a smile on her face."

Jiang Ling thought about it for a while, it seems to be like this.

"Ling'er is so cute, why are you still worried about this?"

"Because..." Jiang Ling couldn't say why.

"Okay, don't think about it so much. The queen mother has always liked you very much. When you were taking a nap, the queen mother even visited you. Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, she told Gu not to wake you up."

"Your Highness," Eunuch Fan knocked on the door, "Master Meng is waiting for a few adults to see you outside."

"Let them in."

Not long after, several veteran officials headed by Meng Shangshu walked in.

"Your Highness, when I get the news, Your Majesty may be held hostage by King Cheng."
