Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

What's wrong with him? It reminds him of that rebellious son, and the emperor can't help but feel that the prince is responsible for his current condition.

The Second Prince came in at this moment. He knelt on the bed and called out "Father" repeatedly, his eyes full of heartache. "Father, don't worry. I will find a miracle doctor to cure your illness."

When the emperor heard that his illness could be cured, hope rekindled in his eyes. Then he looked at his son in front of him and heard only that he cared about him and wanted to find a miracle doctor to treat him. He did not mention anything else, which showed that he was loyal.

He felt a little comforted and immediately announced that the ministers would come in. He announced on the spot that the crown prince was deposed and the second prince was appointed as the crown prince.

This is no small matter.

Not to mention that the case of the Casting Battalion has not been fully investigated, all of the prince's crimes have not yet been determined, and there is still the empress in the harem. If the prince is deposed in such a muddle-headed way, it may be difficult to silence the public's gossip, and the empress will never give up.

The ministers did not dare to speak rashly, and only a few of the prince's trusted ministers advised the emperor to think twice.

The emperor had just woken up and was not in good spirits, so he didn't want to continue and had to put it aside for the time being.

But the emperor was ill, and the government affairs had to be left unattended. The crown prince had ill intentions, and he absolutely could not be allowed to handle the government affairs. In the end, he could only order the second prince to temporarily handle the government affairs.

This was simply a pie in the sky, and he had never thought that it would fall on his head. The Second Prince was flattered and said, "Father, I don't know much about government affairs and I'm afraid I can't handle it. It's better for me to stay by your side."

"Lord Xuanyuan..."

The emperor pointed at Lord Xuanyuan.

Lord Xuanyuan is the most upright and honest person. He has never taken sides with any of the princes. Now that the second prince is in charge of the government, it is natural that Lord Xuanyuan should be more devoted.

Besides, Lord Xuanyuan is a founding father. He has always been loyal to the court and to the emperor, so naturally he will not favor anyone.

Since the emperor had made all the arrangements, the second prince had no choice but to reluctantly accept the task.

Because the affairs of the crown prince also implicated the queen, the emperor ordered the queen's phoenix seal to be taken away and given to Concubine De, asking her to take charge of the affairs of the harem.

Regarding the case of the Casting Camp, the emperor also ordered the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Clan Affairs to investigate the case together. Apart from anything else, the Ministry of War was struck by misfortune this time and was directly sent to prison.

After this operation, the former court and the harem fell into the hands of the second prince's Defei.

The court situation is unstable, and now all power falls into the hands of the second prince. The most anxious person is Shen Yunlan.

He wanted to take some action, but the Queen and the Crown Prince were both under house arrest, and now the Minister of War was also imprisoned. Shen Yunlan could only unite with the remaining followers of the Crown Prince to suggest that the Crown Prince be made regent, while at the same time putting more obstacles in the case of casting weapons.

As long as the case of casting weapons remains undecided, the prince will still be the prince.

Because of Shen Yunlan's obstruction, the progress of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Clan Affairs was very slow. Every time they reached a critical moment, the clues were cut off.

Although the progress is slow, there are some answers after all, so Shen Yunlan naturally will not give up.

However, the Second Prince was also keeping a close eye on the case and would definitely take action. Shen Yunlan was not worried about the Emperor's safety. After all, if the Emperor died at this time, it would be in the best interests of the Crown Prince.

Of course, this matter cannot remain deadlocked.

So Du Zhijie came to visit that day.

From the moment it happened, Shen Yunlan knew that Du Zhijie was on the side of the Second Prince, and they were enemies. Now that he came to visit, it must be no good, so Shen Yunlan did not give him a good look.

"You and I have different positions, so we cannot work together. However, I have always been upright and honest throughout my life. Moreover, my position is correct. The Crown Prince is the legitimate son of the Empress, and he is the legitimate heir. I will not change my position. If you came here today to persuade me to submit to the Second Prince, I am afraid you will be disappointed. My position will not change in this life."

Shen Yunlan said this very directly, without showing any mercy to Du Zhijie.

Du Zhijie just smiled at this, took out a few thick books and put them on the table, "These are some gifts I brought to you today. I hope you can take a look at them when you are free."

Without even raising his eyelids, Shen Yunlan said coldly, "I don't need these things you brought me. Take them back."

Du Zhijie ignored him and just smiled faintly, "No rush, wait until I have looked at it. If I feel these things are still useless, it won't be too late for me to take them back."

Seeing that he spoke so seriously, Shen Yunlan was not confused, so he picked up the top booklet and started reading it. However, he became more and more frightened, and his arrogance just now disappeared for the most part, replaced by a gloomy look on his face.

He read a few pages and then understood, “Where did you get all this stuff?”

"Over the years, all the construction projects the Crown Prince has been involved in have been in collaboration with the Shen family. The Shen family has profited greatly from this, and has also acquired a large amount of fertile land through illicit means. If this evidence is presented to the Emperor, the entire Hou Mansion will cease to exist, and Shen Yunlan will not chop off his head even if he has ten.

"You actually have these things in your hands. It seems that I underestimated you on weekdays?"

"The last Huainan corruption case was a warning to Lord Hou, but I never thought Lord Hou would still be so stubborn."

Du Zhijie smiled frankly and admitted generously that he was the one who reported the last Huainan corruption case.

He always acted openly and never hid anything, so Shen Yunlan never took him seriously.

After Shen Yunlan read through a booklet, his face pale as death. He slumped down in his chair and pondered for a while before saying, "You put all this in front of me today. You must have a purpose, right? Why don't you tell me about it?"

"I never had any ulterior motives. I think Lord Hou misunderstood me." Du Zhijie smiled with ease. "Lord Hou knows about my relationship with the Fourth Miss. Marriage is only a matter of time. When we get married, you will still be my father-in-law. So, with this status, you'll be fine."

"hehe!"

Shen Yunlan sneered inwardly. If it were as simple as Du Zhijie said, he wouldn't have presented the evidence to him today. He had been in the officialdom for so many years, and he had seen all kinds of people.

The things here are placed before him today to let him know that if he interferes again, these evidences will not be kept here. Maybe one day they will appear before the emperor, and then he will be convicted. If he lets go and stops participating, then these things he saw today will not appear again.

The situation is very clear now. The prince's fate is lost. Even if the prince does not die, the world will no longer belong to him in the future.

No matter how much Shen Yunlan does, it will be in vain. It would be better to find another wise leader.

Shen Yunlan chuckled softly twice, and finally sighed, "I didn't expect that. I usually see you pretending to be deaf and dumb, but today I didn't expect you to plot against me..."

"It seems that Lord Hou is a smart man. Today, just pretend that I have never been here, and you have never seen these things."
