After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

"Unfortunately, second brother doesn't agree!" A hint of sarcasm flashed in Xiao Minshen's eyes.

The crown prince has been deposed, and the second prince is now the best candidate for the future crown prince.

Since you can sit in that position legitimately, why make a dangerous choice?

"So, they turned their target to the prince?"

Xiao Minshen nodded, but unfortunately, he couldn't take the opportunity to bring down the second prince this time.

Ever since he discovered that the Huns had a relationship with the second prince, he had asked Mo and his men to keep an eye on them.

The remnants of the previous dynasty who assassinated the crown prince last time were actually sent by the second prince.

Xiao Minshen found out that the second prince had an aide who was from the previous dynasty.

The things that happened in the Prince's Mansion were also revealed to the Third Prince by the Second Prince.

The emperor did not want to depose the crown prince at first, but it was because of the third prince's revelations that made the emperor disappointed in the crown prince and subsequently deposed him.

What he didn't understand was that the crown prince had been deposed, and the second prince was already the one with the greatest hope of becoming the crown prince, so why did he still take the risk to marry Princess Gao Li?

Not necessarily. Is it really as he said, that he developed feelings for Princess Gaoli on the way back?

However, his second brother is the most heartless and ungrateful. Love is a joke to him.

In any case, Xiao Minshen didn't believe it.

There was another thing, he had already submitted a memorial to the emperor regarding the remnants of the previous dynasty and the second prince.

However, the emperor had been keeping her in custody and pretending to be unaware of the matter. Regarding the Huns incident this time, the emperor only imprisoned Princess Gao Li and did not vent his anger on the second prince.

All this only shows that after the crown prince, the emperor intends to abdicate the throne to the second prince.

It is estimated that the second prince also got wind of the news, so he rejected the Huns' advice.

Come to think of it, the Imperial Concubine is the only one in the palace who can compete with the Queen.

As for the remaining Fourth Prince and Sixth Prince, their mothers' families did not have particularly prominent family backgrounds.

As for him, his mother was just a little palace maid, and his maternal grandparents were just small local officials, so he had no roots or foundation.

Even so, his brothers were still unwilling to let him go.

On the night when the thieves set the fire, Mo Yi told Xiao Minshen that he found the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince's men rummaging through the corpses outside the Prince Qi's Mansion, as if they were looking for something.

I guess none of his good brothers thought that Shen Yunjin would think of disposing of all the corpses.

He knew without any guessing that they would return empty-handed.

That's why he said that Shen Yunjin helped him a lot.

"I feel that Your Majesty is too aggrieved. He is always being schemed against."

Shen Yunjin felt a little sorry for Xiao Minshen. Do the princes have to fight to the death?

Xiao Minshen had no intention of competing for that position; he just wanted to protect himself.

That's it, no one else wants to let anyone go by mistake, that's too cruel!

"I have asked someone to tell Anyang that the remnants of the previous dynasty are the Second Prince's men."

A sinister light flashed in Xiao Minshen's eyes.

"Also, have someone tell the former aides of the third brother that the matter of the Crown Prince's Mansion was deliberately revealed to the third brother by the second brother."

"This aide of Third Brother stayed in Beijing to work for Third Brother. They have always been in contact."

"When I went to the palace a few days ago to ask Imperial Physician Li to come and see you, I stopped by to pay my respects to the Queen. Fulu accidentally struck up a conversation with the Queen's maid, and she mentioned that my father intended to make the Second Prince the Crown Prince."

Xiao Minshen narrowed his peach blossom eyes: If you want to plot against him, it depends on whether he agrees or not!

When Princess Anyang heard from her aides that the remnants of the previous dynasty who assassinated the crown prince were the second prince's men, she immediately sent people to investigate.

Under the guidance of the people arranged by Xiao Minshen, Anyang quickly found out that the news was true.

She went to the palace to find the queen, who told her that the emperor intended to make the second prince the crown prince.

"Mother, we must not let the Second Prince become the Crown Prince. I'm afraid that by then, it will be even more difficult for you in the palace."

The queen nodded. She had become much more depressed since the crown prince was deposed.

"Your father wanted to establish the second prince simply because of the bitch Hua Guifei's maternal family."

Concubine Hua's maternal family was an imperial merchant. If one were to ask who was the richest person in the capital, it would not be the emperor, but Concubine Hua's maternal family.

It can be said that half of the money in the entire dynasty is in the hands of the Hua family.

"Then find a way to bring down the Hua family!" There was a flash of murderous intent in Anyang's eyes.

Here, Xiao Minshen was also analyzing with Shen Yunjin.

Concubine Hua holds a certain position in the emperor's heart, and he always visits her for three to five days a month.

The Second Prince's wife is the daughter of the Minister of War, who holds the tiger talisman and has military power.

"Doesn't that mean the prince can't win anyway?" Shen Yunjin felt like he was being obeyed.

Besides being born from the Queen's womb, the Crown Prince was also the eldest, which is why he was made the Crown Prince.

It seems that there are really not many advantages.

"Some people are born with advantages," said Xiao Minshen.

Unfortunately, the prince was too conceited and thought the throne was already in his pocket.

That's why the second prince had the opportunity to take advantage of it.

The Hua family is a prominent family in Beijing with many members.

Because Concubine Hua was favored in the palace, the Hua family's business grew bigger and bigger.

Of course, when a family is large, there will also be children who are not motivated.

Huarong is such a person.

Hua Rong is the offspring of a branch of the Hua family. As he is the only son in the family, he has been spoiled by his mother and has become lawless since childhood.

He is a frequent visitor to Yihonglou and also a fat sheep in the casino.

Recently, a skinny horse came to Yihonglou and was said to be from the south.

Everyone who has seen it has praised it, saying it is like a fairy descending to earth.

There is one thing, this skinny horse sells his art but not his body, and it is said that he is the child of a family member who has committed a crime.

Huarong had played with many women, but he had never played with the women in this family.

At that moment, he began to feel itchy and pestered the mother of Yihonglou to buy the skinny horse.

After much persuasion and spending a large sum of money, the mother of Yihonglou finally gave in.

As long as Shou Ma was willing to follow Hua Rong, she would agree.

Shou Ma was reluctant to see Hua Rong at first. Every time Hua Rong came, he would refuse on the grounds that he only sold his art and not his body.

Only after Yihonglou's mother told her about Huarong's background did Shouma reluctantly agree to meet him.

When Huarong saw the face beneath the veil, he became even more determined to buy it.

Anyway, his family is not short of money!

Shou Ma put forward a condition: he could buy her, but she would only go with him if he gave her a legitimate status.

Huarong promised on the spot to take her as his concubine.

After signing the official document, Hua Rong took the skinny horse back home.

A month later, the skinny horse became pregnant with Huarong's child.

At this time, the thin horse knelt down and begged Huarong to save his exiled family.

Hua Rong then realized that Shou Ma’s father was the corrupt official who caused the flood in the south!
