After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

No matter how arrogant Concubine Tong was, she was still just a concubine.

The prince is the crown prince, and his status and position are far higher than Concubine Tong, so he doesn't need to listen to her.

Concubine Tong's face froze, and then turned cold.

"Prince Deyi would certainly take advantage of the situation, but the coffin is here. Such a big thing happened in the Eastern Palace, and the Crown Prince didn't show up. I suspect that the Crown Prince might have met with the Crown Prince's murderous hand."

"I am wronged."

Qing Min knelt down directly without explaining much.

"My Lady, why waste time talking to him? Why not just open the coffin and find out who's inside!"

Princess Yiyang became impatient.

"That's inappropriate! Princess, if the prince is really inside, wouldn't that disturb his spirit in heaven?"

The one who spoke was Deputy General Yan.

"Master Yan, what are you afraid of? The prince said that there is no prince inside. We just opened the coffin. If there is any disturbance, the prince should be blamed."

Princess Yiyang is not stupid either.

Moving the prince's coffin is a serious crime, and she doesn't dare to take the responsibility.

"Have you ever considered that the person who can use this coffin, even if he is not the crown prince, is still a member of the royal family?"

Qing Min said coldly.

"I think the prince is talking nonsense. No relatives have died recently, and whose coffin can be placed in the East Palace?"

Concubine Tong covered the curve of her mouth with a handkerchief.

She had come to her senses and realized that Qingmin had deliberately scared her.

The prince must be in the coffin.

So what if that woman could make the emperor never forget her for the rest of his life? So what if her child was born as the crown prince?

Death is like a lamp going out!

Both mother and son are short-lived! In this harem, the one who lives a long and tough life is the ultimate winner.

Concubine Tong felt indescribably happy in her heart.

"Eleventh Prince, what do you think, should this coffin be opened?"

Princess Yiyang suddenly lowered her head and looked at the child who had been silent.

The Eleventh Prince pursed his lips tightly, his body trembling, but he refused to express his opinion.

Princess Yiyang's expression became increasingly gentle. "Didn't Eleven complain that he was worried about the Crown Prince and wanted Aunt to come with you to see him?"

Inside her sleeve, her long nails had already dug into the palm of the Eleventh Prince's hand.

The Eleventh Prince gasped in pain, but still gritted his teeth and dared not speak.

As a prince, he didn't know much else, but he knew how to save his life since he was young.

If you are threatened and make trouble at the gate of the East Palace, you may be punished afterwards.

But if he decides to open the Crown Prince's coffin, it will definitely cost him his life and that of his mother.

Seeing him like this, Princess Yiyang used even more force on her hands, and the palms of the Eleventh Prince's hands were already bleeding.

Her little movements are invisible to others.

But Deputy General Yan was a military general with a keen sense of smell and could smell a faint smell of blood.

He didn't say anything. There were some things that were beyond his ability to participate in.

For a moment, the west courtyard fell into silence.

There was a sneer in Qing Min's eyes. They were all eager to jump out, but they didn't even have the courage to open the coffin?

However, the fire in the side yard was gradually brought under control, leaving only smoke and no further waves.

A palace maid came in cautiously and whispered something in Concubine Tong's ear.

Concubine Tong's face darkened. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Open the coffin. I still need to report to the Empress Dowager. We can't afford to delay."

Even now, she still wants to use the Queen Mother's banner.

Immediately, several palace maids came forward and pushed the coffin lid.

"You can't move."

"The coffin lid is about to be opened. Isn't this going to make people die with regrets?"

The palace maids in mourning wailed.

But the palace maids who came out were all Concubine Tong’s confidants, so why would she listen to them?

Immediately, several people separated and worked together to move the heavy coffin.

"Clang."

Several people put the coffin lid on the ground, panting.

Concubine Tong and Princess Yiyang couldn't help but take two steps forward and look at the coffin.

There was a person lying in the coffin. She was a woman in her fifties, very well maintained, with black hair and few wrinkles on her face.

She stared with her eyes wide open, her lips and teeth slightly parted, as if she was dying with her eyes open.

"what!"

Concubine Tong screamed, took several steps back, and sat down on the ground in a panic.

"He, He Toffee."

Princess Yiyang's face also turned pale.

How could the prince not be inside? How could it be?

"What's wrong? Are the imperial concubine and princess disappointed?" A voice with emotion sounded.

Qing Yan walked out slowly.

Qing Min immediately stood up and stood behind the prince consciously.

Everyone in the courtyard was shocked to see the prince appear out of nowhere.

"How could that happen? How could that happen?"

Concubine Tong murmured.

Princess Yiyang's face turned pale, and she had only one thought in her mind: she was finished.

The eleventh prince was young and was so scared that he knelt down.

"I've met the prince."

Deputy General Yan came back to his senses the fastest and kowtowed in greeting.

At this time, the sky was already getting light.

Tai Chi Hall.

The emperor and several important ministers finished their breakfast and got up.

"It's time to get active."

When they arrived, everyone in the East Palace was kneeling on the ground, and only Qing Yan was still standing.

"My son, I would like to send my regards to my father."

He saluted calmly.

"Your Majesty, I, Yiyang, have met you. Long live Your Majesty."

The others spoke up at once.

But Concubine Tong and the others looked pale.

The emperor actually woke up, what a coincidence, waking up at this time.

"Your Majesty, you have just recovered from a serious illness. How can you go out and about?"

Concubine Tong tried hard to force a smile.

The emperor didn't even look at her, but sneered: "With you waiting here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to live forever."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

Concubine Tong and others became more and more frightened.

Eunuch Fu brought a chair from somewhere and helped the emperor take his seat.

He gave his apprentice another look, and the latter cleverly went to bring a chair to the prince.

In the entire Eastern Palace, only the emperor and the crown prince can sit.

Yue Zhongchi, Zhao Shangshu, and Wang Shangshu also felt complicated when they saw the prince.

The prince was a little thinner, but he was in good spirits and walked with undiminished vigor. It seemed that he was completely recovered, not critically ill.

Then they thought of Fang Nanzhi.

I don’t know where that little girl got the ability to recover the prince, a dying man.

Or was it that the moment the young girl forcibly took the prince out of the palace gate was all a staged act? Had the prince's illness been cured by Elder Zhou long ago?

"I happen to be free, so I will help the Crown Prince sort out the affairs of the Eastern Palace."

The emperor's voice brought their thoughts back.

"Where is the East Palace Secretary?"

A thin middle-aged man crawled forward two steps on his knees.

"The minister is here."

"Tell me, how did the fire start in the East Palace out of nowhere?"

The emperor asked coldly.

"I have already investigated and found out that two eunuchs in the Eastern Palace accepted bribes and intended to burn down the Crown Prince's bedroom. However, they mishandled the operation and accidentally burned down the side courtyard."

What improper operation? Qing Yan was just taking advantage of the situation and making them shoot themselves in the foot.
