Chapter 172 Humiliation
"What's the situation in the palace, let me tell you what's going on. Those who should plan should have done it earlier."

Xiao Yu sighed, first glanced at Lin Xia, and then said: "Fortunately, the queen didn't take a fancy to us Xia'er, otherwise we would have suffered."

Lin Qingyue sneered inwardly, this Xiao Yu was really like a weed on the wall, it would fall wherever the wind blows.

"The crown prince has fallen, and he was implicated by the crown princess." Speaking of this, Xiao Yu became more cautious, and lowered his voice even more, "It is said that the crown prince's mother is in a hurry and wants the crown prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible. Committing such treasonous things, the whole family of the Crown Princess' mother and family were confiscated, and the Crown Princess and the child in her belly were given to death."

Lin Qingyue was startled, people said that to cut the weeds is to get rid of the roots, but who would have expected that the emperor's family would be so ruthless, even her own descendants would not let her go.

Thinking like this, she felt inexplicably flustered, and her hands on her knees were tightly twisted together.

Mrs. Xiao's face was filled with impatience, and she twisted the beads faster in her hands.

After sighing, Lin Qingyue felt that this matter was strange.

"Since they are all princes, the throne will belong to him sooner or later. How could it suddenly... As a prince, you can't be so stupid."

What's more, the prince is still young, and he has been waiting for so many years without saying anything, so he can't wait so impatiently, right?
Xiao Yu didn't say much to Lin Qingyue today, but answered him truthfully.

"There is no evidence that the prince was involved, but the concubine's mother's family is the mastermind. Can the prince escape? If there is no evidence, others will say that he got the news and destroyed it early? Now he has been deprived of the title of prince. Now, let's see how to deal with it in the end, the emperor is probably still hesitating."

Xiao Minghui, who never said much, also opened his mouth: "I'm afraid the situation will not be too good."

Of course, Lin Qingyue knew that the prince's situation would not be very good. After all, the child in the princess's womb, the emperor, wanted to kill the grass, so what good end could the prince have?

A face with a smirk suddenly flashed in her mind, and she asked again: "This matter was supervised by Prince Jing, this Prince Jing is the prince's brother, didn't he give the prince some advice?"

No matter how she thinks about it, she feels that the matter is not simple, not to mention Li Wen's wolfish ambition, how can he tolerate his brother's reputation of killing his father, and it will affect himself at that time?

Xiao Xuan stroked his beard, looked at Lin Qingyue inscrutablely, and said: "It is really Prince Jing who took the initiative to report this matter to the Emperor."

Lin Qingyue was startled: "What?"

It rained in the middle of the night yesterday, and the sky today has not cleared up for a long time, and it was still gloomy. At this time, a gust of wind came in, which made Lin Qingyue tremble.

"I see that Prince Jing is not a person willing to be ordinary, I'm afraid he has more thoughts in his heart, but he is so merciless, isn't it afraid that the emperor will think that he has no regard for brotherhood, is it a wolf ambition?"

"What nonsense?"

Xiao Xuan scolded.

Lin Qingyue didn't take it seriously, and muttered: "I just said it in private, and I dare not say it out loud."

Xiao Yu glared at Lin Qingyue, and continued: "Yes, but this is where King Jing's brilliance lies. Everyone knows that the relationship between the crown prince and Prince Jing has always been very good. After the report was made, Prince Jing deliberately knelt outside the imperial study and begged the emperor for mercy."

Xiao Minghui added in a timely manner: "After kneeling for most of the night, it was the emperor who ordered someone to forcibly pull him back."

"What's more, it was precisely because he knew that the prince and Prince Jing had a good relationship, so Prince Jing even went to report the prince, which just proved that in his heart, filial piety is more important than brotherly love, and the emperor would also feel that he In the big picture, treat him differently."

Xiao Xuan stood up from the chair, looking at the trees with their branches bent by the wind and the gloomy sky outside, she couldn't help shaking her head and sighing.

"The storm is coming."

Lin Qingyue didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns, and the situation in the court was confusing, and even more frightening. Now she only hoped that Xiao Linze would return to Beijing soon.

It's just that she is still confused.

"Then is it possible that the crown prince was framed by someone? And it was Prince Jing who framed him?"

Xiao Yu frowned, turned around and scolded Lin Qingyue: "You are talking nonsense, I think you are out of your mind today!"

Xiao Minghui also said: "Sixth sister, you can't just guess about this matter, no matter where you are, you must be careful that there are ears behind the walls, otherwise your words will lead to death."

"It's not just a disaster of killing one's body, it may be a tragedy of exterminating the family!" Xiao Yu said bitterly, "You can just let me save myself."

Although Lin Qingyue was reprimanded by Xiao Xuan, she felt that Xiao Xuan's attitude was very strange, could it be true...

And based on what she knew about Li Wen, maybe this lunatic could really do such a thing.

"Thank you for the teachings of the Duke and my brother. I will remember it, but..." She was soft at first, but she still did not forget the thing that was on her mind, "Is it really impossible?"

"According to His Royal Highness Prince Jing's temperament, it is impossible to do such a thing." Xiao Yu sat back on his seat again, "His Royal Highness Prince Jing likes mountains and rivers the most, I am afraid that he is not interested in this country. "

Xiao Minghui also said, "That's right, although His Royal Highness Prince Jing is looking for jobs in the court, they are all idlers. He has always been benevolent and righteous, and he doesn't seem like a person who would do such things. Yesterday he said that he wanted to work with his own The elder brother shared the responsibility, blamed myself for not discovering the prince's actions in time, and advised him."

Lin Qingyue felt that Li Wen was really powerful. Xiao Yu, who had been up and down in the court for many years, was deceived by him. It can be seen how fruitful his disguise was. Myself, she was replaced in this shell again, and he really succeeded.

But from this point of view, Xiao Linze really knows a lot, no wonder everyone scolds him, no matter what kind of person he is, anyway, we all share the same hatred, just treat him as a target, the enemy's enemy is a friend.

The situation in the court is changing, Lin Qingyue is not afraid of losing the crown prince, but what she is afraid of is that Li Wen will gain power, which will be extremely disadvantageous for Xiao Linze and her.

What she is worried about now is Xiao Linze. If Li Wen really did something to the prince, will he be so cruel and merciless, will it be detrimental to Xiao Linze?

Xiao Linze should have accepted the emperor's secret decree to go out of Beijing, if Li Wen found out, would he take advantage of this to get angry?

She was terribly afraid, and she didn't recover until the needle in her hand pricked her finger. Seeing a drop of blood oozing from the tip of her index finger, she frowned even tighter, and slowly sucked the bleeding finger into her mouth. Putting it in his mouth, he lowered his head and looked again, the purse in his hand was embroidered even more ugly, even the lines were crooked, it had to be dismantled and redone when he came to his senses.

She suddenly thought of the panic and fear in her heart, and felt a little ridiculous, thinking that her little princess Mingyue would have today, and she knew she was afraid.

It's just that her fear is not without reason, and now Xiao Linze is in a predicament.

A few days ago, there was a severe drought in Zizhou, and there was no harvest in autumn. No matter how rich Zizhou is, it is very difficult to confiscate grain during the harvest season. If it is taxed by the court again, the rations left over from previous years may not last. In the second year when the grain was harvested, Piansheng was at the critical moment for his promotion to the prefect of Zizhou. If he reported his promotion at this time, it would have to be postponed for one year. He was afraid that the matter would be lost by then, so he wanted to press down This matter can be suppressed, and the tax that should be levied will have to be levied. If I didn't think about it, it would make things worse.
