Contract Prince

Chapter 11 Framed

Luomei knew that crying and crying would not help, so she took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said, "Ms. Debi has been very ill recently, and the imperial doctors can't do anything about her condition. Kang Wang asked a priest from outside to help her." The empress is seeing a doctor, and the Taoist priest said that the empress Depin is not sick, but a witchcraft."

"Don't kneel down, get up first and talk to me carefully." Xiao Muxue raised her eyebrows and asked coldly: "Someone used poison to murder Concubine De in the palace? The Taoist said that the mastermind behind the scenes is His Highness the Crown Prince, right? "

Luo Mei slowly stood up and nodded vigorously, with resentment on her face: "His Royal Highness is definitely not such a person, that demon way is clearly trying to frame His Highness!"

Before crossing over, Xiao Muxue loved playing palace dramas the most.In the court, the concubines fought for favor, and the princes wanted to win the heir. They did everything they could to achieve their goals.Xiao Muxue used to watch this kind of harem drama with the attitude of a spectator, but now that she has traveled through time and personally experienced the intrigues in the palace, her heart still trembles.

The Kang Wang mentioned by Luo Mei is the fourth son of the emperor, named Xiao Lian.He is mediocre in intelligence, honest and honest, and he is the most responsible among the princes.Even if the crown prince is pulled down, King Kang will not be able to take the position of crown prince. What is Xiao Lian's intention in doing this?

Xiao Guan had five sons, except the second prince Xiao Cheng in the early life, and the third prince Xiao Zhan who ascended to the crown prince, now there are three sons in total, namely: the eldest son Xiao Cong, the fourth son Xiao Lian, and the fifth son Xiao foreign.

Among these three princes, Xiao Lian's ability is considered the lowest.So Xiao Muxue was very surprised. It stands to reason that the eldest son or the fifth son should be the one who framed the prince, because they are the only ones who can compete with the prince Xiao Zhan.Why is it Xiao Lian?

Xiao Muxue's lips twitched slightly, her eyes lit up, Xiao Lian was probably instructed by someone.As for whether Xiao Cong or Xiao Yang is behind the scenes, it is not yet known.

However, there was one thing that made her very curious. Among the concubines, the birth of a concubine as a concubine was very unfavorable. Because Xiao Lian was born, she was reluctantly promoted to concubine by Xiao Guan.There are three thousand beauties in the harem, even if the prince is responsible for the witchcraft in the concubine, the emperor doesn't need to confine the prince in the clan mansion because of an unfavorable concubine.

Xiao Muxue stared at Luomei, and expressed the doubt in her heart.

"His Royal Highness doesn't know. When the guards searched the palace, they found two villains with needles from His Royal Highness's East Palace. One was aimed at Empress Debi, and the other was aimed at His Majesty."

Xiao Muxue understood instantly, no wonder the emperor would make such a big move against the prince.The older a person is, the more important he is to life, and the more powerful he is, the more important life is.Xiao Guan is close to the year of his destiny, for an emperor, there is nothing more fearful than death.

In order to prolong his life, Xiao Guan paid a lot of money to hire a master of Taoism to develop a elixir of immortality for him.One can imagine how furious he would be when he learned that the prince was planning to murder him.If it hadn't been for the fact that Xiao Zhan was the crown prince, Xiao Guan would have dragged him down and beheaded him long ago.

With such a great change, the queen empress who loves her son will definitely not remain indifferent.Xiao Muxue said seriously: "How is the empress?"

"The Empress was very calm when she found out about this, she just sent me to invite the princess to Zhengyang Palace." Luo Mei's tone was also full of confusion, the prince was born by the empress, how could the empress not plead with His Majesty for him.

The emperor and queen have been husband and wife for decades, even though they are not as loving as before, the love is still there.If the queen intercedes, the emperor will definitely punish the prince lightly.

Luo Mei really wanted to ask the queen, but she was just a court lady, so what qualifications did she have to question the queen's actions.I can only pray silently for His Royal Highness in my heart.

Xiao Muxue nodded when she heard the words.Since she traveled here, she has admired two people the most, one is Gu Yunjing, and the other is the empress.

If it is said that Gu Yunjing's enlightening and kind words at the wedding night in the bridal chamber benefited her a lot, then the queen's actions completely made her completely admire her.

Empress Zhao is no longer in favor, and Xiao Guan has only favored Concubine Li Gui all these years. As we all know, Concubine Li Gui has always been eyeing the empress position.

It is well known in the world that empresses are virtuous, no matter how much Xiao Guan dotes on the concubine, he would not dare to abandon the empress lightly.If it is done, I am afraid that it will be infamous in the history books through the ages.For Xiao Guan, who claims to be a wise king, he is very concerned about the black material on his back.

Although Zhao's Queen's position is safe and secure, she knows that she has no weight to speak in front of Xiao Guan.Now that the crown prince is being framed, if she pleads for mercy, Xiao Guan will not only refuse to listen but will punish her for being incompetent in teaching.Coupled with the fact that Concubine Li Qin was blowing wind in her ears, Xiao Guan probably ordered her to be imprisoned.

Although the queen loves her son, she understands one more truth: that is to keep a clear head at critical moments. Once she loses power, the prince will really be unable to wash away his grievances.

The queen originally hoped to get married with Marquis Zhenyuan, so that Gu Wei could help the prince.Now that Marquis Zhenyuan is leading troops outside, even if he wants to help the prince, he is powerless.Seeing Xiao Guan's resolute attitude, I am afraid that the matter of abolishing the crown prince will be discussed in the court soon.The Zhao family, in distress, could only turn to the sixth princess for help.

Xiao Muxue pondered for a moment, then quickly said: "Luomei, go back and tell the queen first, I will come quickly."

The sixth princess is the emperor's favorite child, and Luomei knows that as long as the sixth princess is willing to help the prince, the emperor will definitely let her go.She was overjoyed when she heard the words, and after bouncing her head several times on the ground, she knew it was not appropriate to waste time, and disappeared from Xiao Muxue's sight in the blink of an eye.

"What does the son-in-law think about this matter?" Gu Yunjing was extremely intelligent, Xiao Muxue asked her opinion consciously, her eyes fell on Gu Yunjing's gentle and elegant profile.

Gu Yunjing rubbed her palm lightly, her eyes were indifferent, it seemed that the fact that the prince was framed did not leave the slightest disturbance in her heart.

She looked at Xiao Muxue slowly, and asked softly, "How does the princess want to save the prince?"

Xiao Muxue's eyes were sharp, and she fixedly looked into the distance, as if she wanted to see through the high walls of the Hou's Mansion and into the prison of the Clan Mansion.

She resolutely said: "First of all, I beg my father to forgive me and release the prince, and then state the irrationality of this case, pointing out that the prince was wronged. Xiaozhi persuaded the father to give a grace period with reason and emotion. Let’s investigate the case thoroughly.”

Gu Yunjing's expression was not as serious as Xiao Muxue's, she smiled slightly: "May I ask if the princess has enough evidence to prove that the prince was wronged?"

The young man's gentle and calm voice slowly floated beside Xiao Muxue's ears. Xiao Muxue was flustered at the moment, and suddenly felt that Gu Yunjing's gentle and gurgling voice was particularly pleasant, and it was extremely soothing, like broken jade in an empty mountain.

"The princess and the queen's mother and son have a very good relationship. Doesn't your majesty know that the princess was invited by the queen to be a lobbyist? The queen kept her face in front of her majesty before, and she asked the princess to intercede just as soon as she lifted her foot. May I ask, what would the emperor think?" Queen?"

Gu Yunjing's clear eyes drifted to the blue sky, and he said unhurriedly: "I remember telling the princess last night that if Your Majesty abolishes the crown prince, there is only one reason and that is that the crown prince is too sharp."

"The tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Today, His Highness the Crown Prince is like a good tree, and the Emperor is naturally a strong wind in the forest. Does Your Highness really think that this is just a case of witchcraft?"

"Your Majesty is conceited, but he is not stupid. As a father, he understands the prince's personality better than we do. We know that the prince was framed, doesn't he know? The witchcraft case is just a fuse, and the real reason is that your majesty fears the prince. .”

A faint smile floated on the boy's mouth: "Who does the princess think His Royal Highness King Kang is ordering?"
