The current emperor currently has six sons.

The last three sons are still young, and now only the first three sons are old enough to participate in politics.

Among them, the eldest, Crown Prince Mu Yao, was born to Queen Yuan.

Mu Yao is both the legitimate son and the eldest, and there is a three-year age difference between him and the second son. Judging from the current situation, his position as crown prince is as solid as a rock.

The second son, Prince Ning, was born to Concubine Rou.

Concubine Rou had a gentle and quiet personality. Her second child not only looked very much like her, but was even more like her in personality.

Prince Ning's favorite thing is to immerse himself in the world of poetry and painting and enjoy himself. He really has no interest in politics or the throne and only wants to be a rich and idle king.

No one thought that the second son, Prince Ning, could ascend to the throne.

Including his own mother, Concubine Rou.

Not suitable.

If the world were handed over to Prince Ning, the ancestral foundation of the Mu family would be in danger.

Besides, to put it bluntly, with King Ning's character, he can't defeat his brothers...

The Prince Jing mentioned by Liu Congnan’s confidant is the emperor’s third son, Mu Zheng.

Prince Jing Mu Zheng, born to Concubine Su, is four years younger than Crown Prince Mu Yao.

Among the six sons of the current emperor, except Mu Yao, the mother of Prince Jing Mu Zheng has the highest status in the harem.

Moreover, Concubine Su can be said to have been favored for a long time.

If Mu Yao, the eldest son, was not there, the emperor might have considered letting Mu Zheng inherit the throne.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

Princes like Prince Ning who have no interest in the throne and the country are rare.

Prince Jing is not Prince Ning.

Ever since he was old enough to understand, Prince Jing had been unilaterally at odds with Mu Yao over the position of Crown Prince.

Later, when the emperor ascended the throne, Mu Yao became the crown prince from a prince, and Prince Jing became even more dissatisfied with Mu Yao.

In Prince Jing's eyes, his mother, Concubine Su, had been favored for many years. Apart from being born a few years later, how was he inferior to Mu Yao, who had a deadpan and deadpan face all day long?

Especially now that Mu Yao, as the crown prince, has begun to help the emperor handle many government affairs, while Prince Jing only has an idle job in the Ministry of Revenue.

In contrast, Prince Jing hated Mu Yao so much that his teeth were itching.

He even fantasized about dragging Mu Yao out of the East Palace and moving in himself.

Prince Jing knew that Gu Yan and Mu Yao had a close relationship, and he also knew that Cheng Wan and Gu Yan had a special relationship.

But before this, Prince Jing had never thought of causing trouble for Cheng Wan.

Simply put, Prince Jing was proud of his status and disdained to deal with a woman.

This time, Wei Hufeng used the hook of "making things difficult for the prince" to successfully lead King Jing of the Jing Dynasty to Cheng Wan's idea of ​​taking action...

Prince Jing’s Mansion, Flower Hall.

"Your Highness Prince Jing, Cheng Wan is currently in the spotlight because of a letter to the enemy parties. Do you think it's okay to..." Wei Hufeng carefully observed Prince Jing's expression and asked tentatively, "Wait a minute?"

Prince Jing glanced at Wei Hufeng impatiently and said, "Is it worth bothering me for such a small matter?"

Wei Hufeng quickly bowed his head, his eyes moving back and forth, but his voice was full of respect and embarrassment:

“Your Highness, the letter to the enemy parties is almost known to everyone. I wonder how many people are paying attention to Cheng Wan.

If we deal with Cheng Wan at this stage, would it be too... conspicuous?"

The atmosphere in the flower hall suddenly turned cold.

"Eye-catching?" Prince Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Wei Hufeng who was standing with his back bent. His eyes were full of undisguised contempt and impatience: "Lord Wei, it seems that you didn't understand what I just said at all."

"Your Highness..."

Prince Jing unconsciously played with the jade pendant on his waist, his eyes fixed on Wei Hufeng like a knife:

"A woman! A woman who is less than 10 years old!

A woman who was lucky enough to have achieved some success with her cleverness!

How big of a sin could it be to touch her?

Um? "

Wei Hufeng lowered his head so that Prince Jing couldn't see his expression clearly: "Your Highness, I am also worried, worried that Cheng Wan will really be like what she wrote in the "Letter to the Enemies", will..."

Wei Hufeng did not continue speaking, but Prince Jing already fully understood what Wei Hufeng wanted to express.

"I am the son of a dragon and a phoenix! A descendant of the royal family!

What the hell is she?! "

Prince Jing uttered a short and cold laugh, his eyes arrogant and determined:

“Don’t say that I had no intention of dealing with his relatives and friends, even if I really hurt or killed them.

Does Cheng Wan dare to be disrespectful to this king?

Does she dare to point the tip of her knife at me?"

"Of course I wouldn't." Wei Hufeng quickly agreed.

Prince Jing's gaze fell on Wei Hufeng's lowered head:

“As for you, Lord Wei.

I am too lazy to delve into the shameful thoughts in your mind.

You just think Cheng Wan is annoying and want to use this sword of mine to get rid of her."

Prince Jing's tone was condescending and condescending: "But as long as it can cause trouble for the Crown Prince, I don't bother to argue with you."

Wei Hufeng's back was soaked with cold sweat.

His original intention was indeed to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and he also wanted to avoid risks.

He thought he had hidden his thoughts very well.

But he didn't expect that Prince Jing had completely seen through his little plan and was so blunt about it.

"Go away." Prince Jing waved his hand as if he was chasing away an annoying fly.

Wei Hufeng let out a breath of foul air obscurely, then walked out with his body bent.

In any case, Prince Jing had no intention of postponing or canceling the plan.

This is enough.

As long as Cheng Wan dies, everything will be fine.

In Jiaotai Hall, the scent of sandalwood is faint.

The emperor put down his red brush and tapped lightly with his fingertips on the line of words in the secret report: "Wei Hufeng secretly met with Prince Jing."

The candlelight reflected his deep eyes, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"idiot."

The emperor snorted, and it was unclear whether he was talking about Wei Hufeng or his third son who was blinded by jealousy.

"Chanfu."

The eunuch Chang Fu, who was standing beside him, immediately stepped forward and held his breath.

"Go to Prince Jing's mansion and tell the third brother," the emperor said calmly, but every word was weighty: "Cheng Wan is my person. I will judge her life and death. Tell her to behave herself and do her job in the Ministry of Revenue. Don't be so stupid as to be used as a knife by others, which will bring disgrace to the royal family and... chill my heart."

"As you wish." Chang Fu's heart trembled and he kowtowed deeply.

The emperor's words were a combination of kindness and severity, and his intention to warn others was extremely obvious.

In a corner of the imperial desk, Cheng Wan's letter "A letter to all enemies" was lying there.

The emperor reached out and took the memorial, reviewing the contents of the "Letter to the Enemies" again.

After a long while, the emperor chuckled and said in a low voice: "You are smart and you can take risks."

The emperor was indeed not annoyed by the "huge wave" caused by Cheng Wan this time.

"A Letter to the Enemies" is a talisman that Cheng Wan set up for himself and his family at the height of the storm. It is a way to protect himself.

The emperor knew clearly that the word "enemy party" was not only a deterrent to the villains, but also a silent confession of his status as an emperor.

She, Cheng Wan, is only loyal to the emperor on the throne.
