The daily life of the concubine of the Prime Minister

"I object." Master Chen San strode into the Wenxuan Hall, pushed everyone aside, took the box from the eldest prince, smiled faintly and said to Zhou Zheng:

“Teacher, what you just said certainly makes sense, but I don’t agree with it.

Now that things have come to this, isn't it too late to talk about the rules? The will has been taken out in advance and the seal has been opened. If we put it back and someone tamper with it, it will be the fault of us, the ministers.

Death is not an exaggeration to atone for the crime."

This is almost saying it clearly, someone is going to touch the will.

When the ministers who were originally watching the show heard that their lives were involved, they immediately stood up and echoed Chen Sanye's words:

"Grand Prince, let's announce it now! This is a matter concerning the country, we can't take any risks!"

The eldest prince nodded and was about to take the will from Master Chen San.

Zhou Zheng could no longer remain calm. His own life was at stake, and he would not just let Mr. Chen San lead him by the nose.

He grabbed the eldest prince's hand, forcibly took the will from Master Chen San, and gave it to the young eunuch who had just taken the box from the beam.

"My Lord, I promise you with my life that no one will be able to get close to the will during this period." Zhou Zheng said to the young eunuch in a tone that would not tolerate anyone, "Put the will up there."

The eldest prince remained silent and looked at Master Chen San.

This scene fell into Zhou Zheng's eyes.

"Zhi He, you angered the late emperor when he was still alive, otherwise he wouldn't have let you reflect on yourself all these days. Do you still want to make the late emperor restless now?"

It's really up to him to tell whether something is good or bad.

Hearing Zhou Zheng's words, Master Chen San chuckled. He was the one who started the incident, and now he was being accused of disturbing the peace of the late emperor.

If he disagrees and insists on watching, then whatever happens at the funeral of the late emperor will be blamed on him.

Zhou Zheng grasped this point.

However, Zhou Zheng calculated wrongly, Mr. Chen San's plan was just a pretense.

It is absolutely impossible for Zhou Zheng to just sit there and do nothing.

But if the princes and ministers saw him change the will, they would have truly put their teacher to death.

Master Chen San was unwilling but had to let go: "Once a teacher, I swear to love you for life. That's what I said, and I should abide by it."

Zhou Zheng was surprised why Mr. Chen Sanye, who was always so stubborn, suddenly softened.

But there was no other way. Even if he knew, Zhou Zheng had to agree.

After this experience, both the court officials and the princes had a better understanding of his ability to cover up everything.

Only then will there be a chance to undo what has been done previously.

Mr. Chen San has agreed, and no minister in the court objects. It is even more difficult for you princes to speak up.

The matter of establishing a crown prince originally concerns the princes of the royal family. It would be unwise to interfere too much and offend the two most powerful ministers in the court, regardless of whether one can sit on the throne or not.

The will was once again put back on the beam in a daze.

The eldest prince sent the Royal Guards to guard and led everyone out of the Wenxuan Hall and returned to the mourning hall.

As if to verify Zhou Zheng's words, Master Chen San lit a stick of incense for the late emperor and left the palace.

Zhou Zheng also left the palace with him, and the two separated at the palace gate.

Watching the sedan chair carrying Mr. Chen San leave, Zhou Zheng fell into deep thought.

It was such a coincidence that his disciple came back. Could it be that he knew what happened in Quanxing County in advance? Did he know that Prince Qi was dead?

Only this possibility can explain why he must open the will.

Whenever Zhou Zhengyou thought about the fact that Master Chen San knew that he had tampered with the will, he felt trapped in a quagmire, unable to extricate himself.

He sighed heavily, turned around and got back into the sedan chair at the Chen Mansion.

As soon as he got home, Zhou Zheng summoned the counselors kept in the mansion and went to the study to discuss matters.

The Zhou family felt an invisible sense of crisis looming over their heads.

Before Zhou Zheng could find a solution, the news spread.

They all compared Zhou Zheng to Zhang Lianci.

...

Compared to the Zhou residence where everyone was in danger, the Chen family's villa in the suburbs of Beijing was much more lively.

The Chen Mansion has a large courtyard, so normally it doesn't feel crowded. But after all the people in the mansion moved in, people who you rarely see on weekdays started to appear.

It was so lively in the courtyard. I watched the grandchildren running around in front of me, calling them grandma over and over again.

The old lady's mouth never curved down.

When Mr. Chen San came back and saw this scene, he frowned.

He suddenly regretted why he didn't arrange for them to go somewhere else.

It’s not that he doesn’t like either room, but if he does this, he and Yu’er will no longer have the chance to be alone.

Mr. Chen San's worries were not without reason. After he informed the old lady of the situation in the palace,

When they returned to Qinyuanju, they saw that the space that originally belonged to them was now full of people.

Even the bed where he usually rested had two little carrots rolling around on it.

Liu Yu chatted with his eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Wu, and his fourth brother's wife.

I didn't notice him coming in at all.

It wasn't until he couldn't help but cough lightly that they noticed.

"Third brother, you're back. Come in and sit down." When the eldest sister-in-law Wu saw Mr. Chen San standing at the door, she immediately gave up the stool she was sitting on, but had no intention of leaving. She continued to chat with Liu Yu about women's matters.

Liu Yu was embarrassed for Master Chen San and finally had to speak up and remind him:

"Sister-in-law, it's getting late now. Do you want to go and see? Brother, have you come back? The capital has been in turmoil recently. It's not advisable to stay outside for too long." Then he reminded Li:

"Recently, my fourth brother's wife should also look after my fourth brother more and try not to let him go out."

"That's right! It was my third sister-in-law who reminded me to go and take a look." Wu then stood up and said goodbye and left Qinyuanju.

Li hurriedly responded and followed Wu.

After seeing that they had all left, Uncle Chen San strode into the room, came to the bed where he usually rested, picked up the two little radishes playing on the bed, one in each hand, and threw them out the door.

With a bang, the door closed.

There was also the sound of little Radish knocking on the door:

"Third uncle, third uncle, you bully us, we want to protest..."

Liu Yu couldn't hold it in any longer and a constipated expression appeared on his face.

Mr. Chen San glared at her in dissatisfaction:

"You did it on purpose. You didn't stop them."

Liu Yu expressed his innocence and told the truth:

"It was mother who asked them to play, saying that we didn't roll well on our wedding day, so we had to let them roll more..."

Halfway through her speech, she realized that what she said was just a trap for herself, so she immediately shut up.

Mr. Chen San, who was originally as black as charcoal, immediately turned playful. He took off his cloak, walked in front of Liu Yu, raised his hand to lift his chin, and asked meaningfully:

"Madam, are you doubting that your husband is not working hard enough?"

"Huh?" Liu Yuyu choked. What did she say? She obviously didn't mean that!
