Zhu Xuanheng grabbed Nanny Ren and asked anxiously, "How is Madam?"

Nanny Ren's voice trembled: "Madam...Madam is dead..."

There was a burst of chaos and confusion afterwards. When the people imprisoned in the woodshed were released, the entire Taifu Mansion was shrouded in a cloud of sorrow and sadness.

Despite strict orders from the Grand Tutor's Mansion to keep silent about it, the rumor that Madam Zhu had a difficult labor, gave birth to a dead baby with half of its face, and then had heavy bleeding and fell into a coma spread like wildfire, and became a strange story that everyone in the capital talked about with relish.

There were even rumors that the reason why Madam Zhu gave birth to a stillborn baby with half of its face was retribution from heaven, a retribution for betraying the destined emperor of the Jin'an Dynasty.

Tutor Zhu was the teacher of Emperor Qinglong and was naturally loyal to the emperor, but his son Zhu Xuanheng was originally the tacit teacher of the Sixth Prince, but eventually became the Prince Tutor of the current Crown Prince Ye Xuanqi.

Tutor Zhu was a staunch supporter of the prince and fully supported his son's choice.

The Sixth Prince was the next emperor of the Jin'an Dynasty, but Taifu Zhu and his son abandoned him and chose Ye Xuanqi. So God punished Madam Zhu by making her give birth to a faceless stillborn baby, leaving the Zhu family without descendants.

As such rumors became more and more rampant, not only did the Taifu Mansion become the focus of attention and discussion in the entire capital, but Ye Xuanqi also became the target of public criticism, and the voices saying that he was not worthy of being the crown prince became louder and louder.

There were curious people who wanted to find out what was going on inside the Taifu Mansion, and there were crowds of onlookers outside the mansion every day. However, the door of the Taifu Mansion was closed, and even the servants who went out to buy things did not go out, making it difficult to find out what was going on inside.

But it did not prevent all kinds of rumors from continuing to emerge, and gradually the Imperial Master's Mansion was even implicated.

Song Wentian and his daughter Song Yunxi, as well as Qin Xubai, who now holds the dominant position in the cabinet, have become the main targets of people's criticism.

Even Yu Ziche in the Zhenbei Army and Jiang Yanting in South Vietnam were not spared.

The Imperial Preceptor Song Wentian dreamed of taking his place, but the Sixth Prince was upright and would not succumb to the intimidation of the Imperial Preceptor, which made Song Wentian extremely dissatisfied. That was why he abandoned and suppressed him and chose to support the obedient Ye Xuanqi as the Crown Prince.

In order to keep Ye Xuanqi under firm control, he let Song Yunxi marry him.

Now the crown prince is firmly controlled by Song Wentian and his daughter Song Yunxi, the cabinet is in the hands of Qin Xubai, the Zhenbei Army is gradually replaced by Yu Ziche, and there is also the richest man in the world, Jiang Yanting, who is making trouble in Nanyue, and the entire Jin'an Dynasty is controlled by the National Master's Mansion.

As the rumor spread, there was a rumour that Emperor Qinglong had been turned into a puppet by Song Wentian.

As a result, people's attention shifted from the Taifu Mansion to the Guoshi Mansion. The Guoshi Mansion, which had always been high and mighty, became a sycophantic official who played power games in the eyes of the people of the capital.

Qin Xubai in Qingyun Pavilion was calm and collected: "They knew that if Shengyun Mountain was involved, they would be in big trouble, so they chose the Imperial Master's Mansion."

Song Yunxi looked at Song Wentian, who was oblivious to what was happening outside, and said, "Dad, what do you think we should do about them framing us like this?"

Seeing the mischief in her eyes, he tapped her forehead lovingly: "You already have it all figured out, do you still need to ask your father?"

Ye Xuanqi was moved by the innocent look of Song Yunxi, the little girl who was leaning on him. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "After this matter is settled, I will ask my father for permission to marry me. How about that?"

puff!

Song Yunxi almost spit on his face, jumped up and yelled: "Who said I want to marry you?"

"Not you marrying me."

Ye Xuanqi said shamelessly: "I am the one who married into the family."

"..."

Song Yunxi was still not immune to his shameless behavior of constantly pestering her to marry into her family's family.

Qin Xubai pulled Song Yunxi behind him, with a hostile look on his face: "Ye Xuanqi, have some shame."

He really had had enough. If Ye Xuanqi continued to be so shameless, don't blame him for disregarding their cousin relationship.

Ye Xuanqi also sought help and hid beside Song Wentian: "Uncle Tian, ​​you can't watch me being bullied by my cousin."

The usually aloof and noble prince now looked like a pitiful and aggrieved puppy, and even Song Wentian found it overwhelmed.

Before he could continue to pester her, she quickly distanced herself from Ye Xuanqi and said, "Whether you can get my Xi'er to nod her head, whether you can get Xu Bai's approval, it all depends on your own ability. I can't help you."

Although I know that the two of them are destined to be together, I am already giving him face by not stopping him. If I continue to help him to get his own juicy cabbage, why wouldn't he just go to heaven?

He himself wanted to keep Xier by his side!

Therefore, Song Wentian was naturally happy to see Qin Xubai's obstruction.

But in the end, Ye Xuanqi found an opportunity.

Before leaving Qingyun Pavilion, Ye Xuanqi held Song Yunxi's hand and said, "Yunxi, the war in South Vietnam is at a stalemate. Without General Pingnan, General Fang is good at defending the city but not at expanding the territory. If the stalemate continues, it will only be an endless war of attrition. That's why General Pingnan asked my father to lead the troops to resolve the war."

Song Yunxi's heart tightened and she forgot to pull her hand out. She looked up and stared at Ye Xuanqi.

"The Emperor has approved it."

Sure enough, it was impossible for him to be trapped in the capital.

Ye Xuanqi held him in his arms: "Actually, I am the same as you. If possible, I would like to stay in the military camp forever. There I feel a sense of belonging."

As for the throne, he had never thought about it in his past or present life, but he could not bear to see the Ye family's empire fall into the hands of others, nor could he bear to see the Ye family's empire be destroyed again, so he had to fight for it.

Song Yunxi did not refuse this intimate gesture, but asked sullenly: "When do you leave?"

She didn't feel it when he was always by her side, but when she heard that he was leaving, Song Yunxi just felt suffocated and uncomfortable.

"Ten days later."

Ye Xuanqi pushed him away from his arms, clasped his hands on her shoulders and looked at her face intently: "Although I believe in your ability, I am still worried, so I want to leave after this matter is settled."

Under the moonlight, the two did not speak for a long time, but the entanglement in their eyes seemed to have expressed thousands of words.

When both the Grand Tutor's Mansion and the Imperial Master's Mansion were caught up in public opinion, Song Muxue gave birth to a healthy baby boy, who was also the first grandson of the royal family.

Not only the Ye family was overjoyed, but the people in the capital were also overjoyed, as this showed that the country had a successor.

Ye Xuanrong was the most popular person at the time, and all the civil and military officials in the court sent their heartfelt blessings.

Even in the harem, Concubine Shen was proud and showed off her superiority in front of the Queen.

Even Emperor Qinglong was very happy and generously gave the Sixth Prince a lot of rewards.

For a time, the Sixth Prince Ye Xuanrong's fame completely overshadowed Ye Xuanqi's. In addition, he was the first prince to have offspring, so rumors spread everywhere that the Sixth Prince would eventually replace Ye Xuanqi.
