[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash

As soon as the Dasheng Dynasty was founded, the construction of the imperial mausoleum began, and now two generations of emperors are buried there.

In a mansion next to the imperial mausoleum, the second prince Gao Xian was sitting in the yard basking in the sun.

His subordinate Ajiu came in hurriedly with a letter in his hand.

"Master, there is a letter from the capital." Ajiu bowed and handed the letter to the second prince.

The Second Prince took it, opened it, and after reading it, he snorted coldly, "Lucky for that brat. By the way, how's Concubine De doing?"

"It is said that she was demoted to a commoner and banished to the cold palace." Ajiu lowered his head and said softly.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha!" The second prince laughed loudly until tears came out.

The young eunuch standing nearby silently handed over the handkerchief. The Second Prince took it, wiped his tears, and said to Ajiu, "My good father, the Emperor, loved the Crown Prince so much back then. No matter how favored we were, we could never compare. Now look, they both suffered, yet I am alive, the Third Prince is alive, and even Concubine De is alive and well!"

Suddenly, his face turned ugly: "My mother is dead, why should she live?"

Ah Jiu's brows twitched slightly: "What does the master mean?"

"Defei is on good terms with my mother, and she must be eager to accompany her. Let's fulfill her wish!" The second prince threw down the handkerchief, stood up and went into the inner room.

Ajiu nodded in agreement.

The whole thing was actually very simple. Concubine De did have the idea, but she didn't want to put it into action. In her opinion, it was useless to deal with the Crown Prince, and the key lay with the Prince.

But she never imagined that even though the Second Prince had been imprisoned, there were still people willing to work for him. Not only were there people associated with the Second Prince in her palace, but there were also people around the Crown Prince, who took advantage of her unpreparedness and used her to attack the Crown Prince.

Before the Second Prince was sent to the Imperial Mausoleum, he had a conversation with Emperor Jinglong. Concubine Shu's suicide made him suddenly realize that the culprit behind all this was none other than Emperor Jinglong.

It was Emperor Jinglong who gave him hope step by step, using him as a tool to suppress the crown prince, and it was also Emperor Jinglong who forced Concubine Shu to death after the failure of the plot.

That’s right, Concubine Shu’s suicide was instigated by someone sent by Emperor Jinglong.

The second prince's assassination of the crown prince was an act of treason and he was sentenced to death in the strictest sense, or exile at the very least if the punishment was lenient.

Emperor Jinglong was reluctant to part with his own son, but the crown prince needed to be comforted.

How to do it?

Then let Concubine Shu atone for my son!

Your stepmother is already dead, and you still won't let your biological brother go?

This is also the reason why the prince is so angry.

Concubine Shu was a good mother and a kind person. She had been advising the Second Prince not to fight with the Crown Prince. However, the Second Prince was blinded by Emperor Jinglong's promise and refused to listen to Concubine Shu's advice, which ultimately cost his mother her life.

The person sent by Emperor Jinglong to induce Concubine Shu was Concubine De.

The second prince has gone mad. He hates Emperor Jinglong, the crown prince, Concubine De, and himself.

Because of his ambition, his mother died, his uncle and father-in-law's family were exiled, and his wife died of depression.

He no longer wants the throne, he wants everyone to die together!

The Second Prince lit a stick of incense, looked at the spotlessly clean tablet, and whispered, "Mother, everything will soon be over."

The Crown Prince and Xie Yi put in a lot of effort and finally determined that the mastermind behind the incident was the Second Prince who was far away in the imperial mausoleum.

But they were one step too late, and Concubine De was already dead.

Emperor Jinglong believed that the Crown Prince had killed Concubine De in order to vent his anger on the Crown Prince, and his dissatisfaction with the Crown Prince grew even deeper.

…………

The prince looked at Xie Yi with guilt and said, "Yan Xiu, your appointment has been rejected."

Yes, although Xie Yi saved the Crown Prince and Liu Yanran saved the Crown Prince's grandson, the Crown Prince's request for Xie Yi to be appointed the fourth-rank Left Assistant to the Crown Prince was rejected. In addition, Xie Yi's original position as the Crown Prince's Secretary was also lost.

Such a great achievement was not rewarded with a fourth-rank official position. This not only made others question the prince's ability, but also made people see the ruthlessness of Emperor Jinglong.

Now that Xie Yi is no longer an official under the crown prince, he cannot go to see the crown prince openly and can only do it secretly and avoid contact with people, otherwise the censor will put the hat of "forming a clique for personal gain" on the head of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

However, Liu Yanran was called into the palace by the Crown Princess every now and then.

The Crown Prince was rescued in time and had no root of illness left. He recovered soon.

The Crown Princess was grateful to Liu Yanran and sent someone to invite her to the palace to express her gratitude. However, the Crown Prince fell in love with Liu Yanran the moment he saw her and kept trying to get close to her. He wouldn't let her leave and wanted to keep her in the palace.

The Crown Princess had no choice but to frequently call Liu Yanran to the palace. However, the Crown Princess also liked Liu Yanran very much. She believed that Liu Yanran was a very lucky person, and she thought that if the Crown Prince spent more time with her, he would also be able to share in her happiness.

People in the royal family are born noble. In the past, the Crown Princess would have disdained the rumor that "Liu Yanran is a very blessed person". However, after the incident where the Crown Prince fell into the water and lost his pulse and was rescued by Liu Yanran, she couldn't help but begin to believe in the concept of blessing and hoped that her own child would be safe.

Pity the parents of the world.

However, this made it easier for the prince and Xie Yi to communicate.

That day, Liu Yanran saw a beautiful woman in palace dress talking to the Crown Princess in the East Palace.

She bowed her head and said, "Greetings, Lady Li."

The beautiful woman in palace dress was none other than Concubine Li. God knows how terrified she was when she first discovered that the Crown Prince's fall into the water was related to her.

She did say a few words about the Crown Princess deliberately not feeding people enough for the sake of her reputation, but those were just a few complaints, and she said them in her own palace. Who would have thought that it would become evidence of her harming others?

Fortunately, Concubine Li's image of being foolish and thoughtless was so deeply rooted in people's minds that neither Emperor Jinglong nor the Crown Prince believed that she had the ability to harm others.

Later her suspicion was cleared, but after seeing the Crown Princess again, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

After all, talking about others behind their backs is a mean act. Although Concubine Li is brainless, she still has dignity.

However, seeing that the Crown Princess treated her as usual, she felt embarrassed and mustered up the courage to personally bring someone to deliver some things to the Crown Prince.

As a result, after a few visits, Lipin found that the Crown Princess was actually a good person. So Lipin, who had fallen out of favor with Emperor Jinglong, would run to the Eastern Palace whenever she had nothing to do, and sometimes she would stay there for the whole day.

"What's so good about that little devil (bah) (chew chew chew)? She's not even as pretty as me (chew chew chew). The emperor actually dotes on her so much..." Concubine Li said vaguely while chewing sugarcane.

The Crown Princess and Liu Yanran looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

The little goblin that Lipin was talking about was a beautiful girl who was selected from the people last year, and is now Roupin.

By chance, she was favored by Emperor Jinglong and immediately became the new favorite concubine, even overshadowing Concubine Li who was famous for her beauty.

Concubine Li disliked Concubine Rou, the "little goblin" who stole her favor, and the two often clashed.

However, Emperor Jinglong was in high spirits with Concubine Rou, and he helped his "old love" Concubine Li two or three times out of ten, and stood on Concubine Rou's side the rest of the time.

Lipin muttered, "If you ask me, this little devil has bad luck. Otherwise, why does His Majesty get sick every other day whenever she's in favor?"
