My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

"Don't talk about anything else, let's talk about the memorial!" Mei Xueer was a little overwhelmed.

Wen Yi was somewhat reluctant, as his thoughts had just been connected to the corruption case. Fortunately, he was able to withdraw in time.

"Okay, let's talk about the memorial! After the prince drew a circle on the memorial, he imitated the late emperor and put it aside. When the late emperor came back, he didn't find anything unusual. Later, the Minister of Justice saw the red circle on the reply memorial and was so scared that he vomited blood on the spot. Then he bravely went to the emperor and asked why the late emperor didn't punish the officials involved in the case, but instead wanted to exterminate his entire family and confiscate his house. It turned out that the person who was circled in red by the prince was the name of the Minister of Justice who was named at the end. The late emperor investigated for a long time before he found out that it was the prince who did it."

"How serious is this crime? Let's not talk about the fact that this incident was a misunderstanding and caused dissatisfaction among the court officials. Just the behavior of the prince, although he was only a two-year-old child at the time, was enough for the ministers to impeach his ambition. But the late emperor covered up these things and just said that he was old and his eyes were blurry and he circled the wrong place. The court officials naturally didn't believe it, but the late emperor insisted that it was so and blamed himself in front of all the civil and military officials in the court. After that, the late emperor also reprimanded the prince. Only then did the prince realize how big a disaster he had caused, and he never dared to be naughty again. Princess, just imagine how much the late emperor loved the prince!"

See you a long time!

Mei Xueer was speechless. He was indeed spoiled to the point of lawlessness.

It is said that the most favored person will soon decline, let alone one who is in the royal family.

No wonder the emperor's concubines and other princes all wished the Dog Prince would die.

"Then, why does the emperor dislike the prince so much now?" she asked again.

"Princess, please listen to me slowly." Wen Yi continued to recall, "In fact, when the prince was young, the emperor's love for him was well known. Let me think about it. Once, the crown prince and the crown princess, who are now the emperor and queen, had a meal. The crown princess complained in a veiled way that the crown prince did not care for his legitimate son - that is, the current crown prince, and said that the crown prince's care for his legitimate son was far less than that for his illegitimate son. This illegitimate son refers to the prince. The crown prince said that he treated all his sons equally, and cited the example of another illegitimate son, who is now the Prince of Qi, saying that once the two children were playing crazy and made a scene, and the other illegitimate son, who is now the Prince of Yan..."

"Stop!" Mei Xue'er's head hurt. Wen Yi had confused her completely by all these princes, legitimate sons, illegitimate sons, this king and that king. "Just get to the point, okay?"

"Princess, if I don't finish what I said before, I won't be able to tell you what's next."

Wen Yi felt very aggrieved. His thoughts of reminiscing had been interrupted many times by the princess today, and he felt very aggrieved.

"Where was I talking about just now? Oh! That Prince of Yan, the illegitimate son of the Crown Prince at that time, was beaten on the head by two illegitimate sons. In fact, it was just a naughty child, and a little blood came out, it's not a big deal..."

Mei Xueer didn't know what he was talking about anymore. She held her forehead and thought patiently, I'll just listen to him patiently. After all, Wen Yi was answering her seriously.

Really, it was not easy to find a slightly normal secret guard, and she really didn’t want to dampen Wen Yi’s enthusiasm.

So, half an hour passed by while listening to this.

Wen Yi spent half an hour telling the stories of all these legitimate sons, illegitimate sons, and kings.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Mei Xueer with an expression that looked forward to praise, "Princess, do you think the Emperor loves the Prince very much as well?"

"Yes..." Mei Xueer answered weakly while playing with the little turtle in her hand.

No matter how anxious she was, she couldn't help but feel that Wen Yi's train of thought was so strange that there would always be one or two key points mixed in among the twenty sentences of nonsense.

Just like when her teacher suddenly hammered out key points on the blackboard when she was in school, it firmly aroused her desire for knowledge.

So, she had no choice but to endure the nonsense that didn't get to the point.

Wen Yi continued to beam with joy, "One more time..."

"Shut up!" Mei Xueer finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Who just said that this person was relatively normal? Stand up, and I promise not to beat him to death!

"Princess?" Wen Yi looked at Mei Xueer with a face full of grievance.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, okay? Just tell me why the prince fell out of favor later, okay?"

"Okay!" No matter how unwilling Wen Yi was, he could not resist the fact that the princess was his master.

He swore an oath a few days ago to be loyal to the princess, listen to her, and be a good secret guard.

"Because the late emperor really liked you so much, he even wanted to make you the crown prince! This happened in the spring of the fourteenth year of Qingfeng, the year he was canonized as Prince Jing. Princess, you should be able to imagine how angry the crown prince, the current emperor, was when he learned the news. Throughout the dynasties, only when the crown prince passed away and there were no other princes would the crown prince be canonized. The late emperor's decision was equivalent to revealing an idea, which was to directly bypass the crown prince and let you ascend the throne."

"Ah! There is such a thing?" After hearing such explosive news, Mei Xueer felt that it would be worth it even if she had to listen to Wen Yi's nonsense for another N hours!

"The late emperor also knew that it was a serious matter, so he did not tell anyone else, but only informed his queen, the current empress dowager. The empress dowager felt that it was inappropriate and said a few words, but the late emperor said, 'The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.' The empress dowager said, 'Since the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, why did the emperor tell me?' So the emperor and the empress had a dispute. At that time, there was a maid in the queen's palace who had always been madly in love with the prince. She secretly told the prince about this matter, yes, the current emperor, but it was not spread outside. Speaking of this maid's infatuation with the prince, it is really moving, and there are twists and turns..."

"I don't need these overly detailed and vivid details - by the way, since no one knows about their conversation, how do you know it?" It's true that Wen Yi learned the conversation between the emperor and the empress vividly and lifelike, but Mei Xueer only wanted to know the key points of the exam.

"Don't worry, Princess. This is a long story..."

"Okay, stop talking. I don't want to know how you knew that now, okay?"

She was very tired, really very tired. "...Let me ask you, what is the prince's attitude towards this?"

Wen Yi started to knock on the blackboard again, "Since the last incident of circling the memorial, the prince has learned his lesson and is very cautious. The key is that the prince has never had a strong desire to compete for that position since he was a child. However, over the years, the prince may have changed his mind... (3,000 words omitted here)"

"I understand that as a prince, especially a prince who is so favored, not fighting or competing will not bring peace. If he does not fight or compete, there will be only one result - death!" Mei Xueer summed up for Wen Yi.

After all, it was the excessive pampering of the late emperor and the emperor that harmed the Dog Prince.

But in the end, the late emperor did not allow Cui Hongjing to be the crown prince. But this idea directly chilled the current emperor's heart.

This is probably the reason why the Emperor treats the Dog Prince so well now.

"Then why is the crown prince so worried about the prince now? He is already the crown prince, and the prince's appearance has been damaged. He is no longer a threat to him." Mei Xueer was eager to learn.

"I don't know about this." Wen Yi was thinking, "The princess should know more about this issue than I do. After all, the princess once had a relationship with the prince..."

He continued, continuing to sell the prince out to the sky, "In the fourteenth year of Qingfeng, just a few days after the prince's fifth birthday, a big thing happened. The late emperor had always been in good health, but that winter was particularly cold, and the late emperor still caught a cold. Originally thought it was just a minor illness, but unexpectedly, no matter how the imperial physicians treated him, there was no improvement. At that time, the director of the Imperial Hospital said that the late emperor had a problem with his lungs, but another imperial physician named Liu said that the late emperor's heart veins were damaged, and another imperial physician said what medicine to use... The imperial physicians started a quarrel among themselves and had a fight. Imperial Physician Liu broke Imperial Physician Kuang's head, and Imperial Physician Kuang's family members refused to give in, and brought people to Imperial Physician Liu's house to make trouble, and ran into Imperial Physician Xuan at the gate of Liu's house..."

"In short, the late emperor died of illness, right?" Nanxing came over and interrupted.

Early in the morning, Mei Xueer asked her to go out and buy some things.

When Nanxing went out, Wen Yi had already started knocking on the blackboard, but now it was almost noon. She came back and saw Wen Yi still talking about irrelevant things, while her young lady looked depressed.

"Can you please stop talking nonsense? Aren't you thirsty after you've been talking for the whole morning? Your Highness is tired of listening to me!" Nan Xing said in a bad tone.
