Poor Family

The fourth prince's determination to die shocked everyone.

The eldest prince, whose face was full of astonishment, obviously did not expect that the fourth prince would behave like this. Even though the battle inside the palace wall was over, he still stood silently at the entrance of the palace and looked at the corpse of the fourth prince without moving for a long time.

Shi Fuxin also felt a little emotional in her heart when she saw that the people in the Gyeonggi Camp had been taken down by the Imperial Guards and soldiers from the Five Cities. The eldest prince was no longer in danger, so he did not stay and turned around to return to Prince Rong's Mansion.

Fuxin didn't pay too much attention to what happened after that. When she saw the eldest prince again, it was at the emperor's funeral.

After the emperor's funeral, the enthronement ceremony was held soon.

On March 20th, the eldest prince officially became the seventh emperor of Da Chu.

With the eldest prince ascending the throne, the officials who had previously taken refuge with the fourth prince were all in a state of trepidation.

"Sixth sister."

"Yong'an."

After the enthronement ceremony, Shi Fuxin was just about to leave the palace when she was stopped by Princess Yongan.

"Yong'an, why are you looking for me?"

Princess Yong'an glanced at the other people in Prince Rong's palace and asked Shi Fuxin to ride in the same carriage with her.

Seeing that Princess Yongan seemed to have something to say to her, Shi Fuxin did not refuse.

After getting on the carriage, Princess Yong'an looked at Shi Fuxin slightly seriously: "Sixth sister, the Queen Mother just called me over to talk for a while. The Queen Mother has something to bring to you."

When Shi Fuxin heard about the Empress Dowager, she couldn't help but feel nervous, but she didn't show it on her face: "What did the Empress Dowager do to me?"

Princess Yong'an: "The Empress Dowager said that only Brother Ziqing is left in Anguo Palace. Prince Rong's Palace is the one who caused all this, so she won't pursue it particularly."

Shi Fuxin instantly understood what the Empress Dowager meant. Prince Rong's palace had caused An Guogong's family to almost lose its heirs, and there was no hope that the heirs would multiply and prosper. Only one of the three Chu Yao brothers could be left. The unexpected intention was to tell her to leave Chu Zhao alone. thing.

"Yong'an, please report back to the Queen Mother, I know what she means."

Princess Yong'an breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Shi Fuxin agreed without any embarrassment.

As Shi Fuxin's younger sibling, she really didn't want to see Shi Fuxin and the Empress Dowager getting into trouble.

Afterwards, Princess Yong'an personally sent Shi Fuxin back to Prince Rong's Mansion.

"Third Madam, the old princess asked you to come over."

As soon as Shi Fuxin returned home, she received a letter from Chu Yao.

The fourth prince died too simply. As soon as the news reached Jiangnan, the people who had previously taken refuge with the fourth prince and the Liu family immediately turned to Chu Yao. If there was no turmoil in Jiangnan, Chu Yao would return to the capital someday.

Before Shi Fuxin could be happy, the old princess sent someone to call her.

Considering that Princess Yong'an had previously sent a message to the Empress Dowager, Shi Fuxin was not surprised that the old princess would come to her.

Shi Fuxin packed up and got up and went to Rongxin Hall. As soon as she approached the courtyard door, she saw Chu Zhao coming out worriedly.

As the core figure of the four princes' party, Chu Zhao had brought trouble to the eldest prince before. Now that the eldest prince has ascended the throne, he will definitely be liquidated.

"Greetings to my grandfather and grandmother, and my father."

Shi Fuxin waited for Chu Zhao to go far before entering Rongxin Hall. Only Prince Rong, Princess Rong, and Prince Rong were present in the hall. After giving the ceremony to the elders, Shi Fuxin sat down in silence in her seat. , and didn’t take the initiative to say anything.

Prince Rongjun is the person who loves Chu Zhao the most in the palace. At this moment, he is more worried about Chu Zhao's situation than anyone else. As soon as Shi Fuxin arrived, she couldn't wait to say: "Brother Yao's daughter-in-law, Zhao'er and Brother Yao'er are My brother who has broken bones and connected tendons, he worked for the fourth prince because he was blinded by lard. You are the emperor’s master, you must save him, I beg you.”

Shi Fuxin looked at Prince Rong in surprise. Her father-in-law, who had always given her direct orders before, was actually moved by his affection today. All his fatherly love was really given to Chu Zhao.

"Father, the Emperor has always avoided me as the nominal master. How can I dare to really show off the master's record?"

Prince Rongjun said hurriedly: "Brother Yao's daughter-in-law, no matter what, you are the emperor's master and elder. The emperor will definitely give you some face."

Shi Fuxin did not relent: "Father, you think highly of me too much."

Both Princess Rong and Prince Rong who were sitting on the throne saw that Shi Fuxin didn't want to interfere with Chu Zhao's affairs and looked at each other.

The eldest grandson Chu Xuan has been exiled. If something happens to Chu Zhao again, the only three grandsons left will be Chu Yao, who is the least close to them.

Thinking of this, Princess Rong looked at Shi Fuxin and said, "Brother Yao's daughter-in-law, you have never done anything for the palace since you married into the palace. Don't you deny this?"

Shi Fuxin looked at the old princess and said nothing.

Old Princess Rong continued: "Let us elders beg you to settle Zhao'er's matter. As long as you are willing to intercede for Zhao'er in front of the emperor, you will be in charge of the future collapse of the palace."

Shi Fuxin couldn't stop laughing at the old princess's alms-like tone. She wanted to take care of Shennongtang and have a beautiful smile. She was not surprised at all when the palace collapsed. Besides, if Chu Zhao was not saved, Chu Yao would become the only heir of the palace. , he can only inherit the palace, and as Chu Yao's head wife, she can't live up to her reputation in taking care of the collapse of the palace.

"Grandpa, grandma, the Empress Dowager asked Princess Yong'an to bring me a message today."

Shi Fuxin looked directly at Prince Rong and Princess Rong, and managed to see their expressions change.

"Grandpa, grandma, and grandson-in-law don't understand any big principles. As for me, I just want everyone to be fair and safe. I am incapable and incapable of asking about the others."

Prince Rong didn't know about the grudge between Prince Rong's Mansion and the Empress Dowager. When he saw Shi Fuxin refused to help again, he became furious: "Shi, do you still take us elders seriously? You I really thought you were lawless, believe it or not, I will drive you out of the palace with a divorce letter."

Shi Fuxin was not affected by Prince Rong's anger, but stood up and looked at Lord Rong and Princess Rong: "Grandpa and grandmother, there are some things that my grandson thinks you should talk to your father about, so I won't bother you. , resign first."

Seeing Shi Fuxin leave just like that, Prince Rong was so angry that he shouted at his servants to get pens, inks, paper and inkstones so that he could write a letter of divorce for Chu Yao to divorce Shi Fuxin.

"Okay, stop making trouble."

Old Prince Rong spoke up to stop Prince Rong, and then sighed and told Prince Rong about the grievances between the palace and the Queen Mother.

Prince Rong was stunned for a while after hearing this, and then he said to Prince Rong and Princess Rong: "Father, princess, mother and concubine must save Zhao'er. Brother Yao'er, he and Xiao Ziqing are brothers-in-law, and the Queen Mother is not You will do anything to him, but Zhao'er is different."

Old Prince Rong sighed: "If it can be saved, how can we not save it? But what can we do?"

Prince Rongjun gritted his teeth and said, "Use a letter of divorce to force the Shi family to plead with the emperor."

Old Prince Rong shook his head and refused: "If you do this, you will completely eliminate Brother Yao's feelings for you."

Prince Rong Jun was only thinking about Chu Zhao at the moment and couldn't care about anything else: "That only means that he and I have no father-son relationship." After saying that, he left the hall to write a letter of divorce.
