I'm not really the protagonist? [Transmigration Book]

When the prince brought the princess back to the door, Su Xiaobao handed the secret ball "intact" to Su Lingyan. Su Lingyan already knew that this person almost fell into the water and died in order to protect the secret ball. After thanking him in every possible way, With Su Xiaobao nodding his head pretending to be calm, he left in a hurry.

Regarding this secret ball, Su Xiaobao didn't ask too much. When he was in the same body, he knew that his brother was different from him, and he couldn't interfere with his brother's affairs. Take care of his own life, brother leaves such a good situation to himself, of course he can't let it down, he must learn knowledge from master Ye Fengyang.

Su Lingyan also has brains, this time she got the secret ball without asking the prince, she just took it out.

She picked up this ball around the prince's mansion one day. She didn't pay much attention to it at first, but now her uncle has taken refuge in the prince's command. The Hou Mansion can be regarded as a noble family. She originally thought that she would marry as soon as she got married, but she never thought that when she married, she was not the main house but a concubine.

Thinking of her as the number one talented woman in the capital, her appearance and literary talent are top-notch, how can she marry a concubine who is still a concubine? If this is the case, then she will not have to go out in the future. taunted her.

By accident, she discovered that the secret ball was very similar to the secret ball that the fifth prince Xia Houchun told her to use for spies to send news, and because she picked it up around the prince's mansion, she went to Su Mingran and said Maybe it would be more beneficial for him if she married the prince. Su Mingran knew that the prince only had a concubine and no concubine, but the position of concubine could not go to their down-and-out Su family anyway, but Su Lingyan's appearance was indeed true. Hanging and beating a group of women in the capital, so he still let Su Lingyan have a little contact with the prince with the mentality of giving it a try.

Although he didn't believe that the crown prince would take a fancy to Su Lingyan at first glance, the fact is that, after watching the crown prince accompany Su Lingyan back to the door and then holding Su Lingyan's hand into the carriage to the prince's mansion, Su Mingran finally accepted. this fact.

He secretly rejoiced that after the death of his second brother, he never treated the second wife badly. He also loved Su Lingyan a little bit since he was a child, and he was determined that after the crown prince ascended the throne, his Su family would shine like never before. Because the Su family had a queen.

As soon as she returned to the palace, Su Lingyan went to the study with the prince, and then took out the secret ball from her sleeve and handed it to the prince. She said lightly: "I know the prince married me because of this thing, and I also want a ball. In the place where I live, my uncle wanted to send me to you as a concubine, but you gave me the position of princess, no matter what, thank you."

Xiahou Xiuyan looked at the cold beauty in front of him without any trace, the expression in his eyes was unclear, and the beauty was still talking: "Now this thing is also handed over to you, and the transaction between us is also completed. I live in the backyard, so there will be no more Interfere in your affairs." Su Lingyan looked up at the prince, showing weakness: "You should just raise an idler."

After Su Lingyan finished speaking, she bowed her body, saluted and retreated.

Su Lingyan returned to her courtyard. There used to be a lot of servants in the courtyard, but she only kept three, and the housekeeper assigned the rest. Now her courtyard only has three servants from the palace, plus one who took care of her from childhood. The two nuns, and the two personal maids brought over by the Su Mansion.

This is in line with her cold and unconventional appearance.

Does she have no ambition?She has, but she knows how to win the prince's favor. She is the least powerful person in the natal family in the backyard of the prince's mansion, but she is still a princess. Naturally, the concubines in this mansion are dissatisfied. It was sent by other ministers. In short, many of them are not fuel-efficient lamps.

These people often come to trouble her. She is cold and noble, exercising the rights of a princess. The punishment is not excessive and their arrogance is suppressed. Sure enough, even if they make trouble in front of the prince, the prince reprimands them and then defends her.

The prince needs a sensible, non-jealous, and innocent person with a brain to help him keep the backyard in check. Now is a critical moment, and the prince doesn't want to cause discord in his party because of the backyard.

Xia Houxiuyan got the secret ball and opened it. As expected, it was the news from his spies at that time. There was a special mark inside each secret ball, and he recognized it.

Xia Houxiuyan read the news inside, and sneered, thinking that he would not lose money by exchanging a princess for this news, and this princess seems to be very pleased with him at present.

There are only three points of news in the secret ball.

First, Xiahou Lingyuan is not the son of Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty.

Second, Princess Lingxi and Chu Huang are not biological siblings, and they deliberately attracted the attention of Ming Xuan Emperor to avoid Chu Huang.

Three, Xiahou Lingyuan is probably the heir of the current Emperor Chu.

Xiahou Xiuyan was thinking about how to disclose this news to Emperor Mingxuan, but Emperor Mingxuan had secretly received the news that the crown prince actually had a secret ball specially used for Xia Qi's spies.

Xia Qi's spies are usually contacted by the emperor's secret guards, and the identities of the spies are even stricter. Now the spies placed in Chu Yunguo have actually contacted the prince, and even handed over the secret ball to the prince. When he trusted the prince, the prince could always give him new "surprises".

Emperor Mingxuan naturally thought that someone would frame the prince, but the ball was real in the hands of the prince, so Emperor Mingxuan remained calm and waited for the prince's next move.

Three days later, the leader of the dark guard handed over a secret ball, which was exactly the crown prince's.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty looked at the news inside, and his face became more and more serious. Even if it was the prince he had been cultivating with all his heart, at this moment, all he had left in his heart was a biting murderous intent.

His Lingxi, the most beloved existence in his life, he will never allow anyone to slander her.

Princess Lingxi's position in Ming Xuan Emperor's heart is higher than anyone thinks, otherwise he would not dote on Xiahou Lingyuan that much, overwhelming the public opinion, willing to exchange seven cities for Xiahou Lingyuan, and doting on him without a bottom line Over ten years.

At that time, he was the proton in Chu Yunguo, and on the surface everyone treated him with courtesy, but secretly even the servants who served him dared to make arrangements for him.

Princess Lingxi, who was deeply loved by the people of Chu Yun and the previous Emperor Chu, shouldn't have any contact with him, but he only saw such a bright and charming woman, and he kept it in his heart after seeing him once, with the intention of using three parts of his sincerity and seven parts of it. , he began to use some methods to attract the attention of Princess Lingxi, and such a beautiful but kind and innocent woman really fell in love with him.

With the help of Lingxi, his situation has really improved a lot. Even some of Chu Yun's princes dare not show him face to face. He thinks that no one knows his means and thoughts. , His three shares of true love for Lingxi increased by two.But he didn't want to, when he returned to the country and Emperor Chu sent troops to assassinate him, Lingxi, whom he had always thought was powerless, saved him like a god descending. It all fell on her.

He watched Lingxi abandon her entire country and save him in the midst of fire and water with a token. He watched Lingxi's slender body stand in front of him and bear the ten thousand sharp arrow for him. Lingxi begged his brother Huang to let him go.

Thinking about it, Emperor Mingxuan's heartache couldn't be more painful. He was in danger twice in his life and was saved by Lingxi. She is the person he loves the most and owes the most in his life.

In order to let herself have nothing to worry about, Lingxi concealed the fact that she was pregnant, but she didn't know that even the child Xiao Qi was calculated by herself.He tried hard to forget his despicable and dirty methods, but now someone dug out this dark thing that he didn't want to mention.

Damn it!

Emperor Ming Xuan closed his eyes, trying to calm down the killing intent and anger in his heart.

Everything in the news was false, and he didn't believe any of it.

Lingxi used tricks to seduce him, and even slandered Lingxi for having an affair with his imperial brother and having a forbidden love.

I thought that my prince was really loyal, kind and pure, but I didn't expect that he was a traitorous, sinister, unfaithful and unfilial person. No matter how much slander and wrong things he did in the past, he could not make Emperor Mingxuan treat the prince seriously. Completely lost patience, in the end, it was the secret ball that the prince bought in exchange for the position of princess, and once he exposed himself completely.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty came back to his senses and began to thoroughly investigate the people around him, including the people in the hidden guards. This secret ball can be regarded as just passed from Chu Yunguo, which means, if there is a prince in the hidden guards Those people, or Xia Qi spent a lot of money to train the spies who intervened in Chu Yun, and some people were controlled by the prince.

No matter which one is challenging the power and majesty of Emperor Mingxuan, no matter which one implies the prince's monstrous ambition.

Prince's Mansion.

The prince was having dinner with Su Lingyan, when news came from the palace, the emperor was really furious when he saw the news in the secret ball, he heard that three or four cups in the Palace of Qinzheng were smashed.

The prince smiled at Yan Yan, Su Lingyan was dressed in white, and there was a smile on her cold face in the past, with a little redness on her face. From the prince's expression, she knew that the secret ball might have achieved a good effect.

The two respected each other like guests. From the eyes of the servants of the Prince's Mansion, the Prince and the Princess had a deep affection. Those concubines in the backyard who got the news almost tore their veils, and their faces were ferocious again. They treated Su Lingyan even more. It's hate.

The emperor was so angry that he almost lost his anger, and now he was missing Princess Lingxi deeply, and by the way, his love for Xiahou Lingyuan had also grown to a higher level.

When Zang Jian received the news, he was a little puzzled. He had to pass the news of the Seventh Prince to Emperor Mingxuan every once in a while. Now that the time was not up, Emperor Mingxuan actually recruited him into the palace directly. He told Xia Houling about it. deep.

Xiahou Lingyuan naturally knew why Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty summoned Cangjian. He looked at Cangjian and said, "Just tell him that after the prince came back from the wedding banquet, this king spent the night looking at the portrait of Princess Lingxi in the study, and the rest are the same as usual. Just say it."

Zang Jian nodded, entered the palace, and after talking with the emperor about his daily life as usual, he only told the emperor what Xiahou Lingyuan had said to him when the emperor asked him carefully.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty was stunned, and waved his hand to let Zangjian retreat, and after Zangjian retreated a few steps, he said: "In the future, I don't need to report Xiaoqi's affairs like me, I will summon you if something happens, protect his safety more. "

Zang Jian led the order: "Yes."

After Tibetan Sword left, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty went to the palace full of Lingxi princesses alone. After staying there for one night, he added Xiahou Lingyuan's name to the list drawn up by the Ministry of Rites to go to Chu Yunguo to attend Emperor Chu's banquet.

She probably wanted to see the child that Lingxi had worked so hard to give birth to.

------

No matter how much the crown prince doesn't contact Zhenyuanhou's mansion, no matter how much the concubine in the harem refuses Mrs. Zhenyuanhou's greeting post, Ming Xuandi will not think that they have lost contact, nor will he think that Zhenyuanhou's mansion is blindly following, prince Since he is so ambitious, how could he reject the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.

The soldiers on the outskirts of the capital, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty also counted the prince in, and for several days, the secret guards handed over a lot of news one after another.

The person who robbed Wu Qing from the prison of the Ministry of Justice had some connection with the prince. After the third prince of Chu Yunguo went to Yuntai and fell into the water and disappeared, the prince also secretly sent people to search. He went to the place where Chu Yunmo was staying first.After the spy found out later died, it was found out that he was related to Xia Houchun according to the objects on his body.

Originally, the matter of finding someone in Xia Houchun's secret room was over, but now that Emperor Ming Xuan brought the prince in and thought about it, he faintly realized that this matter was not simple. The evidence is that Xia Houchun is missing now, and his life and death are unknown.

The recent Jiangnan water transportation incident was so serious, it was also caused by the prince deliberately helping to conceal it, and Jiangnanwei also had some changes during that time. Papers full of names, big and small, civil and military generals, add up to more than 30 people.This is only what the secret guards can investigate. Those who have already belonged to the prince's party, whether there are any people in the dark or who are swaying left and right have not been written yet.

Emperor Ming Xuan was dizzy with anger, and he held his chest for a long time before he could catch his breath.

The next day, at the Golden Luan Hall, all the kings and ministers were present, and Emperor Ming Xuan personally read out the imperial decree to abolish the crown prince.

"Prince Xiahou Xiuyan violated the ancestral virtues and did not follow my instructions. He only wants to be violent and promiscuous, and it is difficult to say anything. I have tolerated it for more than [-] years. But his evil has become more and more violent, he is good at authority, and he gathers his party members. Spy on me. I live and move, and I always listen. Since the prince was young, I have taught you a lesson, but I don’t follow my words. The Yi family brothers have no sense of friendship, wantonly take the state’s money, and interfere in political affairs. Kill the thieves and my people. If you take this unfilial and unkind person as the king, it will be like the ancestor's business. Therefore, Beijing will announce to heaven, earth, and ancestral temples to depose the prince."

Most of the things mentioned in the edict are actually normal among the princes. Asking who has not made friends with ministers, but whether to gather party members or not depends on the emperor's attitude. Sin, the concubine Xian poisoned the heir of the empress and attempted to poison the emperor was also reported, and the crown prince was charged with another crime of covering up.

The prince's ending has been decided. Everyone knows that the prince has fallen into the abyss and quagmire, and he can't get up again. Hou Zhenyuan trembled uncontrollably. He didn't understand why the emperor's attitude changed so drastically overnight. The change.

Xiahou Xiuyan also froze on the spot, not understanding what happened.

The prince was imprisoned in the cold palace, and the prince's mansion was full of chaos. The officials who had stood by the prince in the past were also terrified, for fear that the emperor would hold them accountable.

The court was in turmoil, everyone was in danger, and Pian Xianshuo's mansion was peaceful and peaceful as usual. Xiahou Lingyuan, who set off a huge wave of the court with his own power, was frowning at this moment, looking at the empty dormitory.

The housekeeper reported from the side: "Young master Su has returned to Su's house, Mrs. Su sent someone to call."

"What can I say?"

"It is said that he wants to marry the young master."

The author has something to say: Part of the edict to abolish the prince refers to the historical book "Records of Emperor Sheng Zuren".
