The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Just when the Second Prince was feeling unhappy, he heard a creaking sound outside.

As soon as he opened the window, he saw a lot of crows standing on the railing outside the window.

"Damn, why are there so many crows!"

Duke Su came over, took a few looks, and felt very confused. There were a lot of crows in their Duke Su's Mansion these days.

He frowned, wondering if there was something wrong with the feng shui in his home.

No way!

My eldest daughter is about to give birth and everything is going well.

The second prince ordered: "Come here, drive these crows away."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

As a result, the servants in Prince Ping's mansion took action.

But it was very strange that the crows seemed to have set their sights on the Second Prince's residence. After being chased away, they flew back again.

The number of people gathered in the study was exceptionally large.

Duke Su closed the window and said, "Your Highness, don't get angry. Why bother with those beasts? The most urgent matter now is how to stop the emperor from appointing a grandson as the crown prince."

The second prince said fiercely: "That brat is lucky that father pays so much attention to him."

Su Guogong spoke up, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is still young. If you want to achieve great things, the Crown Prince is the boulder in front of you."

The second prince's eyes narrowed slightly, how could he not know.

But the prince's status has already been determined and he is deeply trusted by the emperor, so he cannot be replaced.

"I understand what my father-in-law said, but it is difficult to move away."

Duke Su raised the corner of his mouth at this time, "Your Highness, there is no need to be anxious..." He whispered a few words in the second prince's ear.

The second prince's eyes flickered slightly, "Isn't this too risky?"

Duke Su smiled, "Your Highness, those who accomplish great things do not pay attention to small details."

The second prince clenched his fists, "Okay, let's do it!"

East Palace.

Qin Wan was very angry when she heard what happened in the court.

Granny Ping advised at this time: "Your Majesty, don't think too much. The Censor Geng who proposed it has already been chopped off by the Emperor."

Eunuch Gao shook his head. "This matter is not that simple. Censor Geng is only the one who reviewed the case. The most abominable thing is to find out who proposed it."

Granny Ping was puzzled, "Wasn't that what the envoy from Liang proposed?"

Qin Wan also felt that something was wrong. "Someone must have deliberately passed a message to the envoy. The purpose of this incident was to target the Eastern Palace."

"Why did the Liang envoy propose to use Little Lion as a hostage instead of offering compensation? Little Lion is just a child. Sending him to Liang will not save the Hu people. They will still be short of food."

"Unless someone privately agrees to pay the 1000 million taels of silver on behalf of the court!"

Eunuch Gao nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. Someone must have sent this money, and they have secretly colluded with the Hu people."

After hearing the two people's analysis, Granny Ping became serious in her heart, "But, the forces in the court are intertwined, and those who are dissatisfied with our prince seem to..."

There are too many people who are dissatisfied with the prince!

Grandma Ping didn't dare to say this out loud.

Qin Wan looked at Eunuch Gao, "Uncle Gao, I still need you for this matter. Please help me find out more about what's going on outside."

Qin Wan cannot leave the palace, so Eunuch Gao has to be the leader of her secret organization.

Eunuch Gao had a group of young eunuchs under his command who worked for him.

Eunuch Gao has not been with the little lion all the time these days. He is busy with the tasks assigned by Qin Wan.

Qin Xiao and Qin Ting from the Qin family are both unsuitable to work secretly for Qin Wan. They are neither smart enough nor ruthless enough.

Qin Wan is not a gentleman. If someone bullies her or for her own benefit, she will never show mercy.

Sometimes, these methods are not so bright.

So she had to train a group of people to secretly help her do these dishonorable things.

"Don't worry, Madam, I will make arrangements!"

Qin Wan stroked her slightly bulging belly and said, "Uncle Gao, the roads are slippery in winter, and it's common for carriages to overturn and break arms and legs!"

Eunuch Gao was stunned, "Your Majesty wants to..."

Qin Wan's lips curled up, "Censor Su is old, it's time for him to take a rest!"

Eunuch Gao understood immediately, "Yes, I will arrange it secretly!"

After Eunuch Gao left, Granny Ping spoke up, "Your Majesty, if Censor Su gets into trouble at this time, I'm afraid some people will speculate that it was the work of the Eastern Palace!"

"So what if they know? It's time to let people know that the East Palace is not a soft persimmon!"

Seeing that Qin Wan had made up her mind, Grandma Ping stopped trying to persuade her.

The Queen Mother rarely gets so angry. If she doesn't let it out, it will be bad for the baby in her belly.

Qin Wan was indeed very angry today. She used to be too good-tempered.

To the point where people bully him to the point of being bullied.

This incident is aimed at the Eastern Palace. If they want to get rid of the little lion, someone from the royal family must be involved.

Then it is easy to guess who is behind the scenes. Except for Concubine De behind the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince, there is no one else to think of.

These two people dared to stretch out their claws, so don't blame her for being rude.

"Granny Ping, is the Second Prince's concubine Pan about to give birth?"

Granny Ping paused, "Madam, you want to..."

"I remember that Concubine Pan liked to come to pay respects to Concubine Shu?"

"Yes, Concubine Pan goes to the palace to see Madam Shu every half a month. What does Madam Shu want to do?"

Qin Wan touched her belly and said, "Don't worry, let's get people ready first. If we find out that this incident is related to the Second Prince, then we can take action."

"Yes!"

In the evening, Zhao Zhen returned to Cheng'en Hall for dinner.

"How was your day? Are the two little ones in your belly making any noise?"

Zhao Zhen's big hand gently stroked Qin Wan's belly.

Qin Wan smiled and said, "It's okay. I slept for a long time today, and the baby in my belly is very well behaved."

In fact, the baby in Qin Wan's belly is still small and the fetal movements are not frequent.

Zhao Zhen looked into Qin Wan's eyes and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of the outside world. You don't have to worry too much."

Zhao Zhen knew that Qin Wan would investigate the affairs of the court.

He didn't object because Wanwan had a good sense of propriety and didn't get involved in ordinary matters.

Wanwan only shows her claws when it comes to children.

"The little lion is our child. I won't allow anyone to hurt him."

Qin Wan also looked at Zhao Zhen, "Those people are too much. They actually want to attack a child."

Zhao Zhen held Qin Wan's hand and said, "Wan Wan, don't worry. I will definitely find the person behind this."

After looking around, I didn't see the little lion. "Why isn't the little lion here?"

Qin Wan also noticed that Little Lion did not come to Cheng'en Palace after school, "Grandma Ping, send someone to Yichun Palace quickly."

Soon, the depressed little lion was invited over.

As the little lion grew up, he learned many truths that others did not know, and he became less lively than before.

Zhao Zhen pulled her eldest son and asked, "What's wrong? Who bullied you in school?"

The little lion raised his head, his eyes red, "Daddy, is the little lion a bad boy?"

Zhao Zhen was anxious and assured: "Of course not, you are the best!"

The little lion burst into tears, "Daddy, but my second uncle doesn't like me. He talked to Baibai's grandfather and wanted to send me away!

Oh oh oh!

Daddy, I don't want to leave you and mommy!"

The little lion threw himself into Zhao Zhen's arms and started crying.
