Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

After Concubine Fu became pregnant, many people tried to take advantage of her, but she managed to dodge them all and finally gave birth to a little prince.

The emperor was very pleased, especially when he saw that the little prince looked 70% similar to himself, so he promoted Fupin to Fufei on the spot, and even Nianhulu Anling's father was promoted.

Now that Niu Hulu An Ling had someone to rely on, he began to abuse his power in the harem again.

She thought to herself that she was indeed the time-traveling heroine. After the emperor died, her son would take the throne and she would rule the country from behind the scenes. She would also have a few handsome men as her concubines and live a fulfilling life. That was the life she wanted, but for now she had to be patient.

But for the Fourth Prince, Eighth Prince, Fourteenth Prince and many other princes who had cut off contact with her, whenever their wives entered the palace, Concubine Fu would secretly make things difficult for them.

Relying on the amulet she now had, Concubine Fu fought fiercely with the concubines in various palaces. From time to time, she used children as rafts, causing several concubines to suffer losses.

Mu Xi would also find out about the situation in the palace from time to time. After all, she now knew that Qingyan was one of the Fourth Prince's aides.

Qingyan would sometimes talk to Muxi about the fight for the throne, and Muxi would offer some suggestions from time to time. Qingyan would find them novel, so when he encountered difficult problems, he would often ask Muxi for her opinion. Muxi did not disappoint Qingyan's expectations and always offered appropriate suggestions. The relationship between the two became closer and closer.

Time flies, time flies!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was suddenly locked up in the clan house, along with several other princes.

The next day, the emperor issued an edict to depose the crown prince and put him under house arrest.

The capital city seemed to be on the verge of a storm, and an oppressive atmosphere swept across the city.

Subsequently, several officials and ministers had their property confiscated and were beheaded.

The prince also imprisoned a few people.

All the princes and ministers closed the doors tightly and stayed at home unless necessary, for fear that the fire would burn them.

Not long after, the emperor's most beloved prince died. Soon after, Concubine Fu, who had been arrogant and domineering in the harem for several years, also died of excessive grief over the death of her son. The emperor also fell seriously ill.

But the strange thing is that after the emperor woke up, he requested that Fu Fei's funeral be kept simple and there be no wake. In the end, even the promised funeral was better than Fu Fei's.

At the same time, a large number of palace maids and eunuchs died in the palace and were buried with Concubine Fu.

After Qingyan knew about this, he was also puzzled and then went to find Muxi to discuss it.

"Madam, I think there must be something else we don't know about. Otherwise, a favorite concubine died without causing any ripples, and the funeral was so crude."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xi also found the system and asked what was going on. After learning the result, Mu Xi was stunned.

It turned out that Niu Hulu An Ling had cuckolded the emperor, and the adulterer was the Crown Prince.

Mu Xi replied gently, "My husband, you'd better not investigate this matter. You see, so many palace maids and eunuchs have died. This must be another royal scandal. It's better not to know."

Hearing this, Qing Yan nodded indifferently and said, "I am just curious. If you don't want to investigate, then don't investigate. I will listen to you. But you said that the crown prince is deposed now. Should we take action?"

Mu Xi frowned slightly and said, "Wait a little longer. The emperor doesn't trust anyone right now. If we act rashly in front of him now, wouldn't that be courting death?"

Qingyan didn't say anything when he heard this, but just nodded.

Not long after, the princes were demoted one after another. Afterwards, the emperor valued the Fourth Prince more and more and directly let the Fourth Prince handle government affairs.

The Fourth Prince was extremely cautious every day and was named Crown Prince not long after. Then news spread that the Emperor was seriously ill.

At the emperor's birthday banquet, the emperor directly abdicated in favor of the fourth prince. Mu Xi saw that the emperor was already running out of energy, and he passed away within a few days.

When the Fourth Prince came to power, Qingyan and Fucha Mingqi, who were his right-hand men, were promoted. Although Lin Ruhai was not sent by the Fourth Prince, his two sons-in-law were, and they were also given important positions.

However, Qingyan directly told the new emperor that he just wanted to live a leisurely life and did not want to enter officialdom. The new emperor felt it was a pity to hear this. After all, the new emperor knew Qingyan's ability. In the end, he directly conferred the title of a prince on Qingyan.

Due to the intervention of Nianhulu and Anling in the fight for the throne, the new emperor and his other brothers had not yet reached the point of life and death. Therefore, after the new emperor pacified the court, the other brothers were demoted to insignificant positions and put under surveillance.

And because there was nothing that could be attacked about the new emperor's throne, the princes gave up hope. At the same time, seeing that they were not going to be killed, they just lived quietly.

Defei has now become the empress dowager, but she still feels a little unwilling in her heart. What she wants is for her youngest son to be the emperor. However, nothing has happened, she is just a little depressed.

After the storm, it took some time for the capital to calm down again.

"Madam, I have nothing to do now. Don't you want to go out and play? I can go with you now."

Qingyan looked at Muxi gently and said.

Mu Xi's eyes lit up when she heard that. Now her mission was basically completed. It was a bit boring to stay here. She said excitedly, "Okay! But what about Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, and Sibao? Should we take them all with us?"

Mu Xi gave birth to twin daughters in the past few years.

Qingyan frowned when he heard this and said, "Let's all stay here and let the mothers take care of them."

I've finally gotten around to relaxing, and I don't want to have all those burdens disturbing my time with my wife!

Mu Xi nodded when she heard this, and began her journey around the Qing Dynasty with Qing Yan.

When the new emperor found out, he specially found time to meet Mu Xi and Qing Yan.

When the emperor saw Mu Xi again, he was dazed for a moment, and then his expressionless face returned to normal.

Afterwards, the emperor started chatting with Mu Xi intentionally or unintentionally.

Mu Xi also mixed in some opinions during the conversation, which made the emperor less willing to let the person go the more he listened, as if he had met a confidant.

But he knew it was impossible, and he felt regretful. If he had taken action before, he didn't know if he would have had a chance.

Finally, the emperor conferred the title of Prince Qingyan on him, and also allowed him the right to execute first and report later when he traveled around the Qing Dynasty. He was also required to report any problems he found in each place during his travels.

After Mu Xi knew about it, she couldn't help but sigh.

He is really a Zhou Paopi, who would not let go of any useful talent. A good trip turned into an inspection tour of the Qing Dynasty.
