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

Chang'an City.

In a quiet room.

"Master, news came from the palace that the Crown Princess has launched an attack!"

"Is the news accurate?"

"It's absolutely true. If we get rid of the Crown Princess and the Emperor's grandson now, there will be no one left in the Zhao royal family!"

The man's lips curled slightly, "Send someone to deliver a message to the people in Prince Ping's Palace, and ask him to persuade Prince Ping to seize the throne in the chaos!"

"Yes, I will do it now!"

"Wait a minute, the people from the East Palace also need to act quickly."

"Master, I'm afraid Zhu Maosheng has other thoughts now."

The man snorted coldly, "Don't worry about him, as long as her daughter is obedient, tell her that after the task is completed, I will reward her according to her merits!"

"Yes!"

East Palace.

At this time, the Cheng'en Hall was brightly lit and there were many people guarding outside.

Yiqiu Palace.

Zhu Lianmeng looked in the mirror and glanced at her eyebrows, "Aunt Huan, has the Crown Princess really started the attack?"

"Your Highness, the Cheng'en Palace is on high alert, and the imperial physician has been gone for a long time."

At this time, Eunuch Ying asked, "It's time to take action!"

Zhu Lianmeng shook her head. "Don't be impatient. The Crown Princess is very cunning. Don't act rashly."

Zhu Lianmeng felt that there were people who hoped that the Crown Princess would be killed twice.

"What does the lady mean?"

Zhu Lianmeng put down the eyebrows in her hand and said softly: "Now that the Second Prince has left the palace, I am afraid he doesn't want the Crown Princess and the Grandson to be alive at this time."

Zhu Lian had a good dream.

The Second Prince really wanted to get rid of Qin Wan. Besides wanting to avenge Concubine Pan's aborted child, childbirth is the time when a woman is at her weakest.

When Qin Wan gave Zhao Zhen the explosives, the Second Prince was very wary and at the same time a little jealous.

He was jealous of his elder brother for having a woman who could help him, which was why he wanted to marry a noble lady from an aristocratic family.

He needs their help.

In addition, the news that Qin Wan was pregnant with twins was no longer a secret.

If Qin Wan gave birth to a child, the Eastern Palace would have more bargaining chips. Besides not having any offspring, the Second Prince was even more afraid that someone would mention that he had been poisoned.

Although the Second Prince did not want to admit it, he knew that the Eastern Palace Emperor's grandson was his rival.

Although he was only a four-year-old kid, he was of orthodox origin.

He was afraid that there would be ministers in the court who would support the emperor's grandson and allow him to ascend the throne directly.

At this time, the Crown Princess is very critical. If something happens to her and the baby in her belly is not born, then the Eastern Palace will not be a threat.

After the second prince returned to the palace, he didn't even have time to change his clothes.

He immediately summoned his staff and officials who had long since joined him.

When he found that Duke Su had not arrived yet, he immediately asked, "Why is Duke Su not here?"

Lord Song immediately asked, "Your Highness, didn't the Duke leave the palace with you?"

The second prince shook his head, "I was delayed for a while while saying goodbye to the queen, and when I came out, I really didn't see anyone!"

The second prince thought that Duke Su would take the initiative to bring Prince Pan to Prince Ping's Mansion!

Unexpectedly, when I returned home, I found that the person was not there.

Chen Qi, the staff member, immediately said, "Your Highness, this is a critical moment, Duke Su must come!"

Another staff member, Shang Rui, stood up at this time and respectfully saluted the Second Prince, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"

The second prince: “……”

The second prince was stunned at first, then he laughed out loud, "Hahahaha~~"

Chen Qi glanced at Shang Rui, but at this time, he also knelt down and joined in congratulating the Second Prince.

Lord Song and several officials were shocked at first, and then they knelt down as well.

They looked at the Second Prince and his staff with strange expressions.

In fact, Lord Song felt a little regretful at this time.

Although, at this moment, the Second Prince had the greatest chance of winning, his behavior was too eye-catching.

Even if he was really happy, he should at least pretend.

Lord Song was like a puppet, following the others in performing a ceremony on the Second Prince that could only be performed on the Emperor.

The Second Prince kindly helped Lord Song and the others up, "Lord Song, when the time comes, I will still need you among the court officials, please speak highly of me!"

It is true that the second prince is a prince, but he could not contact the high-ranking officials of the three provinces and six ministries, and he had no job in the court.

This Lord Song is the highest-ranking official in his network, a fourth-rank official.

As for high-ranking officials above the third rank, all of them are old foxes. If the second prince wants to win them over, he has to curry favor with them in person.

Lord Song had no choice as he had already boarded the ship, and besides, the Second Prince now had a better chance of winning.

Being stupid has its advantages. When the time comes, he will surely share in the credit of following the dragon.

By then, not to mention entering the six ministries, there will be opportunities to enter the three provinces and the cabinet.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will go and persuade those officials on your behalf."

The second prince was satisfied.

After sending Lord Song and several court officials out of Prince Ping's Mansion, the Second Prince and several of his aides began to conspire.

After all, he was going to do some dirty things now, and he couldn't let those officials know.

Chen Qi said at this time: "My Lord, I wonder if you have made any arrangements for the East Palace?"

The second prince shook his head, "How can I interfere with the East Palace?"

Chen Qi pondered for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, tonight is the best time. It is normal for women to have a difficult birth. Your Highness, if the people left by Concubine Shu are still here, I'm afraid we can't keep it a secret!"

The second prince slammed the table heavily, "Humph, I know, but the person is gone now!"

The affair between the Second Prince and Concubine De was exposed, and the Emperor followed that clue and cleared out all the people that Concubine Shu had planted.

Chen Qi looked regretful, "Could it be that Your Highness is going to give up this opportunity?"

"Your Highness, I have one thing I don't understand. Your Highness went to the palace to pay respects a few days ago and has not come out since. I am very worried."

"However, speaking of which, there is something very strange. On the afternoon of the day when His Highness entered the palace, I don't know what the little grandson said to His Majesty, but all the eunuchs in Liangyi Palace were silenced."

The second prince was imprisoned. He had no idea that the emperor went on a killing spree on the day he entered the palace. He was having a secret meeting with Concubine De at that time!

"Chen Qi, is what you said true?"

The second prince narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

It turned out that it was that brat who ruined his good deeds!

The second prince was still hesitating and didn't want to take any risks.

But if someone holds such a secret, no one in the Eastern Palace can survive.

Yes, he can't be too soft-hearted!

He must have this throne!

"Somebody come!"

At this time, the guards outside the door rushed in, "Your Majesty!"

"Send a team of men to follow me!"

Chen Qi came over at this time, "Your Highness, don't worry, this is a big deal, we need to plan carefully!"

Afterwards, Chen Qi whispered something in the second prince's ear.

The second prince's mouth curled up, "Okay, Mr. Chen is very talented, I will listen to you!"
