Chapter 181 The Emperor is Furious
Cui Xiu thought that he should ignore the others and frame the silly boy like the fifth prince first. This would not be a bad thing for him. If he wants to be an emperor, then There's a price to pay.
In the past, the price was paid by the Cui family, but now she will not use the Cui family to give the fifth prince the throne. If he wants to fight for his own, whatever price he has to pay is up to him. Go get it.
Ning Bin wanted the fifth prince to be the crown prince so much that she tempted him every day, asking the fifth prince to borrow the power of their Cui family to become the crown prince. She wanted to be beautiful, and she could gain what she wanted and take it from others. Nothing.
It is absolutely impossible for Ning Bin to want to fight with nothing.
"Mother and concubine, I understand."
"My son will keep the mother and concubine's words in his heart, think about them every day, and implement them into actions."
"It will never be the same as before. Make the mother and concubine angry. "
The fifth prince seemed to be a different person when he heard Concubine Jia's words. He was not as aggressive as before, but it was not that his aggressive temper had changed.
Just because he felt that the Cui family and his mother, Concubine Jia, must have discussed it. If he had acted in the same way as before, there was a high probability that he would not get help from the Cui family.
But without the help of the Cui family, he would be at a disadvantage in the fight for the throne, although he didn't know why his mother-in-law was so unwilling for him to fight for the throne.
But he didn’t want to worry about it or rack his brains to think about why.
Some things just have no reason. Perhaps from his perspective, competing for the throne is not conservative, and his mother-in-law is a conservative person.
The fifth prince had already thought of two countermeasures on the way here.
Countermeasure 1: His uncle will not be as conservative and unprogressive as his mother. He will actively accept his overtures and then make plans with him.
But his uncle was not as clear-sighted as he imagined.
Although his uncle was an official in the court and had killed enemy generals on the battlefield. He was so handsome and decisive in killing, but it happened that he was at odds with him over this matter. It was obvious. I just don't want to help him.
The fifth prince came up with the second strategy in his mind, which was to fish in troubled waters and overcome strength with softness.
If the hard one doesn't come, then the soft one comes. He doesn't believe it. Maybe his mother-in-law's heart is made of stone, and she can't keep it warm no matter what.
The fifth prince had a faint smile on his face, which seemed a bit dazzling when it fell into Cui Xiu's eyes.
When Cui Xiu heard the fifth prince's well-behaved answer, he felt a little strange. Was this still the child who had been disobeying her all day?
Emotions are about acting.
Cui Xiu said a few words to the fifth prince again. After the banquet, the fifth prince accompanied him back to Chuxiu Palace. Along the way, he often took the initiative to find topics to get closer to her.
Theoretically, it is normal for their mother and son to become closer.
But it happened that he had not tried to get closer to each other for so many years, but at this juncture, he behaved so well.
Cui Xiu felt that if he had been in the previous life, he might have been deceived by the fifth prince's behavior. He was very moved to express his love for him and planned for him carefully.
I have to say that the fifth prince still has the potential to be an emperor in terms of acting skills.
But it’s just in terms of acting. After a few days of calm, Cui Xiu felt that the palace was extremely boring, and wanted to wait for the weather to cool down and go outside the palace for a walk.
In this day-to-day life, walking back and forth between her residence and Concubine Yun Gui's residence, if Concubine Yun Gui had not had a good temper, she would have been annoyed by her.
"Empress, there is big news."
Chunfeng ran in with compact steps. Cui Xiu was chatting with Concubine Yun about interesting things about the Sixth Prince. Seeing that Chunfeng was so impatient, Cui Xiu looked at her with comforting eyes. Said: "You take a break and speak more slowly."
The palace maid next to Concubine Yun Gui poured a bowl of tea for Chunfeng. After Chunfeng drank it all, the expression on her face was still unstoppable. The excitement of coming down.
It seemed like I heard some shocking news.
“The third prince, the third prince, actually messed up the harem.”
"I was just touched by His Majesty, and His Majesty was so angry that he gave it to the Third Prince on the spot."
At this point, Chunfeng subconsciously got stuck, and the expression on his face paused, as if he was talking about something that was not very civilized. parts.
Concubine Yun Guifei, who was listening to the words on the side, had a more anxious expression on her face, urging Chunfeng to speak quickly.
“What’s wrong?”
“Tell me quickly.” Concubine Yun Gui reminded from the side that these three princes are also a person, and Concubine Chun is deliberately plotting for him. .
She must have wanted him to compete for the position of heir apparent, but now that something like this happened, Concubine Chun knew about it, and she was so angry that she fainted.
Chunfeng looked at Cui Xiu, wanting to get her consent. Cui Xiu naturally nodded. There are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Who dares to spread it to others?
If Concubine Yun really knew about it and someone was gossiping about it, Concubine Yun would not settle the matter and would definitely deal with that person.
After Chunfeng got Cui Xiu's approval, he revealed all his jitters and said, "I kicked the third prince's second-in-command on the spot."
"I heard that the emperor's feet are very strong. I’m afraid I’m going to kick the third prince into a eunuch on the spot.”
"The emperor also ordered that no one is allowed to treat the third prince. If anyone violates the order, he will be asked to bring his head to see him."
"When Concubine Chun learned about this, she burst into tears. , and he is still kneeling at the door of the imperial study room. "
To say that there is injustice involved, someone must have framed the third prince. The third prince would definitely not do something that is against human ethics and morality.
After Chunfeng finished speaking, Cui Xiu and Yun Guifei did not speak immediately. Their expressions were as calm as the surface of a pond, and from time to time they looked at each other with tacit understanding.
Cui Xiu thought to himself that this incident may not have happened too suddenly. The third prince was only a teenager. How dirty and chaotic the harem was that made the emperor want to depose him.
Cui Xiugang wanted to ask Chunfeng, but Concubine Yun seemed to have guessed some key information. Her eyes widened, and she turned to Chunfeng to ask for the answer: "Is it possible that the third prince touched which concubine?"
Concubine Yun This conjecture was very accurate. Only this possibility would make the emperor so angry. After all, he was his biological son. If he just fell in love with a palace maid, it would not be a big deal.
The worst case scenario is to take her back to the prince's palace and become a common-room girl. The emperor would only blame her for a few words, so how could she get into such a violent fight?
If word of this situation spreads, it can be said that their royal family’s reputation will be completely destroyed.
Chunfeng heard the speculation from Concubine Yungui. Although she couldn't bear to mention it, there were some uncontrollable emotions on her face.
"Mother Yun Guifei, what you said is absolutely true."
