Chapter 22: .Deposed Prince 5 (one more)
When the old emperor made arrangements, He Dongchen nestled in his palace, reading medical books, flipping through travel notes, and the leisurely day passed.
On the other side, Tian Weirong and Huainan Wang were planning their next move: "Wei Rong, did you really dream about it?"
"Naturally." Tian Weirong said impatiently and coquettishly, "Could it be that the lord suspects that I'm lying?"
"How could it be?" Huainan King hugged him into his arms and rubbed him.
Before Tian Weirong said that she had a dream, dreaming that the abbot of Tianyin Temple sat down, but within two days, the abbot died. Not only that, Tian Weirong also dreamed that the lost daughter of the eldest princess mansion was found, and Wei Guogong's youngest son broke his leg in shock, again and again, and the dream was right all three times! Therefore, Huainan Wang has a kind of self-confidence towards Tian Weirong. This woman is obviously a weak boudoir woman, but she is confident and calm, and she is sure of winning. This strong contrast makes Huainan Wang madly obsessed.
"The commander of the imperial army secretly raised a cousin from the outer room, and the outer room gave birth to his only son. As long as the prince holds the child in his hands, the commander of the imperial army will not be at your disposal?"
The commander of the Forbidden Army came from a humble family background, relying on Princess Shang to reach a high position, and now he is nearly forty and has no children under his knees, so he only dares to secretly support his concubine. Once the outer room and the child are discovered, the commander of the imperial army will not be torn apart by the sturdy eldest princess. This incident happened in my previous life, just half a month later.
Huainan Wang pondered for a moment, and secretly arranged it.
The old emperor who had been staring at him immediately noticed this turning action!
In addition to threatening the command of the Imperial Army, Huainan King's other small actions were also discovered one by one. He placed eyeliner in the palace, wooed the ministers of the court, and everything. Evil son!
Originally, he planned to clean up Marquis Wu'an and put King Huainan under house arrest.
Now.
Ah! The old emperor felt that he needed to teach this scoundrel a lesson!
"Come here! King Xuan Huainan enters the palace!"
"Yes."
An hour later, the doubtful King Huainan entered the palace, followed the servant in strides, turned a few palace gates, and finally stopped outside a gazebo.
The old emperor sat in the gazebo, with no one around, coughing from time to time, his figure was thin, he looked like a lonely old man.
King Huainan's heart moved, and he stepped into the pavilion: "I have seen my father."
"Xiaoqi is here." The old emperor coughed twice, and the handkerchief covering his mouth fell to the ground, and the bloodstain in the bright yellow center was shocking.
"Royal Father! What's wrong with you!" King Huainan exclaimed, squatting halfway to support the old emperor, his face was full of anxiety, and a glint of joy flashed across his eyes.
The old emperor saw this scene in his eyes, snorted coldly in his heart, stretched out his hand weakly on his face, grabbed Huainan King's shoulder, squeezed it tightly, his forehead was green, and said word by word: "I don't have much time, it's time Time to tell you!"
"Father, tell me." Huainan Wang was puzzled, thinking quickly in his mind, what could make his father, who had always ignored him, show such an appearance.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the old emperor hurriedly say: "Back then, I fell in love with your biological mother, and the queen beat the mandarin duck with a club, and gave your biological mother to death. These years, due to the power of Marquis Wu'an, I had to ignore you and pretend to be respectful." Prince, I originally planned to wipe them all out and clear the obstacles for you, but that old man of Marquis Wu'an! I don't know where I saw my arrangement, let my daughter climb up on you first, and even gave up the prince! Xiao Qi, you and my father and son They were all cheated!"
"Impossible!" King Huainan turned pale with shock, the world was shattered, how could it be like this! Wei Rong obviously admired him since she was a child, but she couldn't keep a distance due to her status.
"Hmph, why is that impossible! Think about it carefully, has that daughter of Marquis Wu'an ever been close to you all these years? Did she just find you recently?" Son, I am proud of myself.
King Huainan's face was livid, extremely ugly. Tian Weiwei used to have no time to hide from him, every day the prince brother and prince brother chased after him, only a few months ago suddenly...
He closed his eyes and told himself that he shouldn't doubt Wei Rong, this is the girl he loved since childhood, but the seeds of doubt had already been planted, quickly took root and germinated, and broke through the ground.
The old emperor saw his reaction clearly, raised his eyebrows slightly, patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Marquis Wu'an is powerful and must be eliminated. If you like that woman, you can raise her in the backyard, just a woman. Little Qi, this world will be yours from now on, so don't raise tigers as trouble."
"Royal Father." Huainan Wang was moved and struggled inwardly.
"Go, while I still have some time, I will get rid of your future troubles." The old emperor bewitched, as if the throne was right in front of him, just waiting for Huainan King to reach out.
King Huainan left the palace with a heavy heart full of worries, and rode out of the palace gate all the way to the suburbs, leaving behind a cloud of dust.
Tian Weiwei saw the Huainan King who appeared suddenly, and greeted him with a face full of surprise, habitually hung on his body, and said coquettishly, "Why did you come suddenly? Did it succeed?"
Huainan Wang looked at Tian Weiwei who was so active, and his heart sank. In the past, he would be happy for the other party's closeness, but now, Huainan Wang is full of the words of the old emperor. Aim to get close to him.
correct! Tian Weirong was able to dream of the future, was it because she dreamed of him ascending the throne, that's why she was anxious to get rid of the crown prince and turn the boat around.
Thinking about it this way, the string in Huainan King's mind, who had doubts about what the old emperor said was true, was completely broken!
Throne! King Huainan was frantic in his heart, and his breathing became heavy. The throne that needs to be carefully planned and narrowly escaped is in front of you! It's like something in your pocket, at your fingertips!
"My lord?" Seeing that King Huainan didn't speak, and didn't hug her like before, Tian Weirong raised her head in doubt, reached out to touch his short bearded chin, and said dissatisfiedly, "What is your lord thinking?"
Huainan Wang regained his senses, grabbed her troublesome little hand, touched her soft white fingers, and said inexplicably, "Wei Rong once said that she would do anything to be with me?"
"That's natural." Tian Weirong nodded without hesitation, and looked at King Huainan affectionately. This man dared to **** a marriage for her in his previous life, and he must have loved her terribly.
"Then... let Wei Rong help me bring down Marquis Wu An."
The smile on Tian Weirong's face froze in an instant, and she couldn't believe it: "My lord, are you joking!?"
"I'm not kidding, my father said that as long as I get rid of Marquis Wu'an, I will be the crown prince! My father's health is failing! I saw him coughing up blood with my own eyes! I promise you that I will save Marquis Wu'an's life. After I ascend the throne, everything is up to this king!" Huainan King said in one breath, and then fixedly looked at the woman in his arms.
"No, no, no." Tian Weiwei shook her head again and again, broke away from Huainan King's arms and hid aside, her heart was in a mess, Marquis Wu'an was her natal family, how could she be overthrown with her confidence, no, no, no.
"Wei Rong! Didn't you say that you like me! Are you willing to do anything for me?" Huainan Wang grabbed Tian Weirong's shoulder and pressed him step by step, "What? Are you lying to me?"
"How could it be!" Tian Weirong was flustered, if she didn't help, King Huainan would definitely feel estranged, and her queen position would be lost! Maybe it's okay to help, as King Huainan said, after he ascended the throne, he still has the final say.
Tian Weirong was forced to go up the cliff, and had no way to retreat, so she could only bite the bullet and follow Huainan Wang's instructions, and went back to the Hou Mansion to steal the roster. The Marquis of Wu'an has been passed down from generation to generation with many roots. Only the Marquis of all dynasties has the most complete list of personnel, such as connections in the army, spies in the palace, officials who come and go, even the humble street vendors. Clearly.
The entire Marquis of Wu'an Mansion was set up by pet Tian Weirong, Tian Weirong wanted to steal the roster, it was a breeze, in less than two days, he handed over the roster to the King of Huainan, with a thousand reminders: "Be sure to save the lives of father and brother!"
"Yes, I will." King Huainan held the person and the roster in his arms, and looked at the direction of the palace from a distance, his ambition was surging and his blood was boiling. From now on, that would be his territory.
In less than three days, the old emperor saw the network resources managed by the Marquis of Wu'an for generations. Even if he was stunned for a while, he laughed loudly and kept complaining: "Marquis Wu'an really raised a good daughter."
Who would have thought that the famous Founding Marquis' Mansion, which had been accumulated for five generations and produced a large number of talents, would be destroyed in the hands of a sixteen-year-old girl.
After the old emperor laughed, he wiped the corners of his eyes, secretly thinking that the education of the royal descendants must keep up in the future, so as not to raise a nest of idiots.
Huainan Wang, who was waiting to ask for credit, looked at the old emperor's appearance, and felt a bad premonition in his heart, which was extremely strong, and couldn't help saying: "Father emperor?"
The old emperor came back to his senses, gave him a look, and said slowly: "For the sake of your meritorious service this time, go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. I don't care about the previous things."
This son doesn't look too smart, he actually believed his nonsense, why he could only pretend to value the prince because of the power of Marquis Wu'an, for more than ten years, it's a joke, if he is so useless, what kind of emperor is he? , Wash your hands and carry the shoes for Marquis Wu'an.
"Father...Father!" King Huainan turned pale in shock, took a few steps back in disbelief, then suddenly realized, his eyes were red, and he pointed at the old emperor angrily, "You lied to me! You lied to me!!"
"Hmph, you dare to blackmail the commander of my imperial army, why did I lie to you a few words." The old emperor smiled sinisterly.
Lao Tzu is still your Lao Tzu! Tell you what is insidious in the world!
Fear, anger, uneasiness, grievance, despair, all kinds of emotions were intertwined. King Huainan covered his chest, spit out a mouthful of blood, and then fell straight to the ground. With a bang, the sound echoed in the hall.
The old emperor didn't even twitch his brows, and ordered: "Come here, send the common man He Jingwen back to the mansion. Without my will, you can't leave the mansion even a single step."
When it was over, I added another sentence: "Don't disturb others." So as not to startle the snake.
"Yes!" Two guards entered the hall, carried away the unconscious He Jingwen from left to right, and quickly disappeared into the hall. At the same time, several young eunuchs quickly wiped off the blood on the ground, and opened the windows for ventilation. , and then light a touch of incense, to ensure that there is no trace of blood.
The old emperor easily obtained the roster, and after taking Yangyuan Pills, he was in excellent health with a rosy face. He went out of the palace in a low-key manner that night to share the joy with his son.
He Dongchen heard that King Huainan was being teased by the old emperor, and now he vomited blood and fell into a coma and was imprisoned in the mansion, so he couldn't help being silent, looking at the somewhat complacent old emperor, he thought to himself that your father is still your father.
The system jumped on the old emperor's head, and jumped twice: "This old man is very bad."
"Tomorrow, I will decree to arrest the entire residence of the Marquis of Wu'an!"
He Dongchen said suddenly: "I don't know how the father plans to deal with Tian Weirong?"
The old emperor paused, glanced at his son sharply, and said seriously: "Prince, do you still miss that woman?"
That woman is a disaster. She harms the whole family for her own selfish desires. She is stupid and poisonous. The old emperor would never want the prince to miss such a woman.
"How could it be?" He Dongchen laughed, seeing the vigilance of the old emperor, and said bluntly, "I think, since the seventh brother and Tian Weirong are in love, it's better to fulfill them."
The old emperor laughed loudly when he thought about it, and patted his son on the shoulder with relief: "You finally know how to hold grudges, I agree, let them torture each other!"
Now that He Jingwen has become a commoner, and the Marquis of Wu'an has fallen, Tian Weirong still likes him? I'm afraid it's too late to hate.
