The Beloved Imperial Consort

"Master, just now the chief steward came to report that His Highness was urgently summoned to the East Palace by the Crown Prince. Please go back first, His Highness will arrive later." The eldest maid Gui Li replied cautiously.

"Get people ready and leave immediately." Helian Minmin straightened his head and shook his head, commanding in a deep voice.

It's been three days since the wedding, but His Royal Highness is going to have a rest, and the crown prince specially chooses today to call someone?

"Sixth brother, what do you think?" The crown prince was dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe, and his expression couldn't hide his complacency.

Zong Zhenglin looked at the memorial written in front of him with a dignified expression. The prince actually wants to get involved in this matter?

"Second brother, this matter is inappropriate. The battle in Mobei is imminent, so it is not appropriate to cause further disturbances."

The prince was in high spirits, and his face turned cold when Zong Zhenglin's words splashed him.

"This matter is related to the foundation of Wei's rule of the country. How can we delay reporting? Could it be that the sixth brother thinks that literature is not as good as martial arts?"

Zong Zhenglin frowned. "This matter can still be postponed."

The prince's face was completely gloomy. Sure enough, he was not single-minded, and he could use it as a weapon before, but now he dared to go against his own will. "Since that's the case, then don't bother Sixth Brother to worry about it."

He asked someone to send Zong Zhenglin out of the mansion, but suddenly he patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Second Brother, I haven't congratulated you on your wedding yet. When I'm free, I'll come to your mansion for a drink or two."

"My brother is honored."

Sitting in the carriage of the Prince's Mansion, Zong Zhenglin closed his eyes lightly, with a smile on his lips. The prince's move was really unexpected, and it saved him a lot of effort. Since someone is rushing to take this job, why doesn't he get out as soon as possible?

"Ye Kai, go to Helian Mansion."

"Yes, Your Highness."

In Helian's mansion, Mrs. Helian saw her daughter's radiant face and unabated smile, and she finally felt relieved.

"Since Your Highness treats you with consideration, remember that your heirs come first. Don't spoil the big event by fighting for a moment of enthusiasm."

"Madam, concubine, His Highness the Sixth Highness is here in person. Your Excellency, please come and see us." A servant outside the door hurriedly came to report.

Mrs. Helian was also quite relieved to see that Zong Zhenglin, who had been dragged away by the crown prince, arrived in time. At least it can be seen that His Highness is quite satisfied with Helian Minmin.

Sitting in the carriage on the return journey, Liu Qing hesitated again and again, but still spoke. "Master, why don't you tell Madam about the difficulties in the mansion? Madam can help you with her ideas if she can keep the Helian Mansion in order."

Helian Minmin's expression was complicated, and he sighed after a while. "The century-old family of the Helian family has never valued any daughter the most. It is the one who is most useful. Don't forget, there are far more than one young lady in the Helian mansion."

Although the mother is the main wife, there are two concubines watching over her. The two wives of the former Marquis of Jing'an were both sisters from Helian's family. As for why the original partner "suddenly suffered from an old illness" and was replaced by his stepmother, Helian Minmin knew very well. The cruelty of the big family is no worse than a backyard fight.

Compared with mother's sincere love, grandfather and father have always been the first in the family. Now that his position in the Prince's Mansion is not stable, how can he expose his shortcomings.

"The inside story of the prince's mansion must not be sent home in private. Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering the relationship between master and servant for more than ten years." He Lian Minmin looked gloomy, looked at the two big maids in the carriage, and beat them severely.

In a few days, the prince personally played Yuan Chengdi, exposing Zhang He's 13th year Chunwei fraud case, which shocked the whole court. The matter involved a lot, and there were as many as 137 examinee invigilators and officials involved in the case.

Emperor Yuan Cheng was furious and ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to conduct a thorough investigation, and the Supervision Department collected evidence. After half a month, the undercurrent in Shengjing was raging, and third-rank officials fell one after another.

"What else do you have to say!" In the imperial study room, Emperor Yuan Cheng kicked Zongzheng Chun on the left shoulder, throwing him to the ground.

"Father, it has nothing to do with my minister. The minister was wronged. The crown prince and the minister have always been at odds, and everyone knows about it! This time, it must be a secret frame, and I want to get rid of the minister and hurry up!" Zong Zheng Chun's liver and gallbladder were torn apart, and he was so frightened that he burst into tears, hugged Yuan Chengdi's left leg tightly, and loudly complained.

"Brother, what do you mean by this? Do you want to frame the crown prince? Father, the staff of the elder brother's mansion who was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of punishment have all confessed, and they all agree, how can he deny it?" The prince pointed and knelt on the ground The impersonal Zongzheng Chun yelled at him sharply, counting down several serious crimes one after another, and his mood wished that Zongzheng Chun could be sent to death row.

Zong Zhenglin watched the two fight fiercely and watched with cold eyes.

"Father, the crown prince wanted to kill the grass because his ministers had the evidence of his crime of accepting bribes and selling officials and nobles. This time, no one else noticed, and he was the only one who exposed the shocking case. It can be seen that there is something strange and ulterior motives involved! With such a wide range, there must be hidden forces in the hands of the prince, who have been plotting for a long time, and his heart can be punished!"

Seeing that the two sons wanted to kill each other, Emperor Yuan Cheng was so angry that he raised the paperweight on the table and threw it at them.

"Two bastards who don't know benevolence, righteousness and filial piety!"

Seeing that Emperor Yuan Cheng was furious, everyone knelt down and pleaded guilty, not daring to act rashly.

"Father, my son and minister were not the only ones who noticed this matter. The Sixth Brother knew about it long ago, but he secretly covered it up and did not report it." The prince seized the opportunity and immediately dragged Zong Zhenglin into the water and beat him up.

Emperor Yuan Cheng's eyes were sharp, and he looked straight into Zong Zhenglin's eyes, showing the might of the emperor.

Zong Zhenglin knelt straight without flinching. Turn a blind eye to the clamoring prince.

"On the day when the prince returned from his wedding, the crown prince called the minister to the mansion to discuss the matter of fraud. Before that, the minister knew nothing about it. After reading the memorial that the prince wanted to submit, the minister only talked about the battle in Mobei It's the most important thing, and it's okay to get together later. There is no intention of deceiving."

"How can the major fraud case be delayed? Could it be that the sixth brother wants to help someone escape?" The prince glanced back and forth between Zongzheng Chun and Zongzheng Lin, implying something.

"Furthermore, the fifth younger brother Yue's family is also involved in the investigation of the officials involved in the case. Could it be that my son and minister alone can frame all the younger brothers?"

Emperor Yuan Cheng looked at the kneeling sons, except that the fourth son had ear problems, so he couldn't get involved. The rest are all listed. His eyes swept across the crowd extremely complicatedly, and Emperor Yuan Cheng's expression was secretive.

"Gu Changde!"

"The slave is here."

"All people are banned in Anyuan Hall, and no visits are allowed without an edict." After speaking, he left in a huff.

Zong Zhenglin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately understood. This time, Emperor Yuan Cheng will definitely investigate all the prefectures thoroughly, and I am afraid that he will not be able to leave the Anyuan Hall in the short term. Since he was isolated outside, the forces placed in the mansion must be ready to move. I don't know if Helian Minmin can handle it? The inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion must not be left alone.

"What did you say?" Helian Minmin got up in shock.

"Huizheng Concubine, Your Highness was banned by the emperor in the Anyuan Palace, and he was not allowed to return to the mansion for a few days. No one in the mansion is allowed to visit without an edict." Tian Fushan was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, he rushed to the house as soon as he heard the news Zen Ruoyuan asks for ideas.

Concubine Shu has sent a letter that Emperor Yuan Cheng strictly ordered the harem not to intercede, and offenders will be punished severely.

No matter how well-educated Helian Minmin's family is, she is only a woman. Where has she encountered such a big event? For a while, I panicked and lost my mind. The ban came from Emperor Yuan Cheng, even her father dared not disobey, how could she handle it?

"This, this..." Helian Minmin clenched his hands tightly, his face turned pale. "How can this be done?"

Tian Fushan saw that Concubine Helian's mind was out of order, he was out of control, and became even more anxious. Sir, he will return to Shengjing in another day, so why are you just waiting dryly now? It's a pity that the concubine's time in the mansion is too short, and there is nothing she can do at this time.

Coming out of Zen Ruoyuan with a sad face, walking halfway, he suddenly remembered that Concubine Mu who was lazy in the mansion! Although Master Yao is usually unreliable, he should have some ability to be valued by His Highness, right? Tian Fushan had no choice but to turn to Danruoyuan.

Mu Xiyao looked at Tian Fushan with a frown, and stopped the fan in her hand.

Zong Zhenglin was placed under house arrest by his father? Could it be that his subordinates were not effective enough to be found out?

"His Highness is banned in Anyuan Hall, where is the First Prince?"

"Except for the Fourth Highness, all the princes who entered the imperial study room after listening to the imperial edict were all banned in one place."

Mu Xiyao felt relieved. Now that she has caught it all over, what is she worried about? It seems that Emperor Yuan Cheng wanted to thoroughly investigate this matter and detain everyone to prevent internal and external cooperation and leakage of information.

Emperor Yuan Cheng wanted to catch him by surprise? Or do you want to use this as bait to lure more fish into the bait? Mu Xiyao thought about the power of the emperor, and felt displeased. It's so annoying to talk like this all the time.

"The emperor wants to fish, let's not jump on it foolishly." Mu Xiyao was calm and composed.

"From today onwards, the Sixth Prince's Mansion will close its doors to thank guests. Anyone in the mansion who dares to enter or leave without permission, and whoever brings news with him, will be killed!"

Tian Fushan looked at Mu Xiyao sitting quietly on the cool couch, with ink-and-wash painting-like figures, at a glance he looked peaceful and beautiful. The words are decisive, bloody and ruthless. I was so scared that I was sweating all over my body.

Is this the real Master Yao? It is actually three points like His Highness. Speaking of taking human life, he didn't even frown, it was really scary.
