Since the fifth prince had been among the children of the powerful and powerful earlier, his shady hobbies spread very quickly, and even a few people who were close to him were questioned.

Trust is not easy to build, but it collapses in an instant.

The fifth prince is now shutting himself out, drinking heavily all day long, and when he gets drunk, he tortures the people around him.

His mother concubine Wanfei was implicated, not only Emperor Wenchang reduced her to a talented person, but even the Empress Dowager Chen punished her to kneel and copy the "Buddha Says Shariputra's Repentance Sutra" for two hours a day.

The Du family became rats crossing the street for a while.

Empress Dowager Chen ordered the third prince to win over the Du family, and took the opportunity to recruit the team originally prepared by the Du family for the fifth prince.

The third prince really wanted to do it, but his concubine Nan Ji came back from the palace and brought him a shocking news.

Nan Ji said: "After serving the Empress Dowager, I went for a walk in the small garden, and accidentally heard that the Empress Dowager was looking for a twelve or thirteen-year-old child in the imperial family.

"Also said that you have not been able to do things well recently, which made her very unhappy."

The third prince looked gloomy.

He did mess up a few things that Empress Dowager Chen told him before.

For example, take advantage of the opportunity of transporting military rations to the army to place personnel in the army in various places, and when the time is ripe, spread rumors to arouse the morale of the army.

But for some reason, those people were cleared out without successfully entering the military camps in various places.

Another example is to place people in the Royal Forest Army.

Isn't that a joke?The Marquis of Zhenbei has already made a move, but he still pretends to be a grandson obediently?If he is caught by the Marquis of Zhenbei—the Emperor Father gave the Marquis of Zhenbei the privilege, saying that regardless of his status, he can kill him first and play later.

Zhenbeihou just doesn't do anything to himself, just shakes out what he has done, it's a stain that can't be washed away.

There is also the matter of people who went to Daying, Gyeonggi to stir up trouble.

Zhenbei Hou went to Gyeonggi Daying again, and the rectification of affairs was in full swing. What would he dare to do?
In case of being labeled as "intent to seek rebellion", wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?
Also, the queen mother asked him to create "visions" in the fief and spread "nursery rhymes" with prophecies.

But who knew that the buried stone man would turn into a stone dog when dug out!
And the children who sang prophecy songs had sore tongues and dared not sing any more.

Can this be blamed on him?
In order to do these two things, he also spent a lot of money!
Especially the stone man, he has to be secretive and ingenious, how can it be so easy to do!
The queen mother couldn't see his hard work, but only knew that he had messed up all these things, reprimanded him severely, punished him to write a picture of a hundred years for the emperor, and made people pay close attention to the situation outside.

Once he heard that there was a famine somewhere, he must grab the disaster relief job!
Nan Ji said worriedly: "Your Highness, tell me, does the Empress Dowager have other thoughts?"

"Have you heard what the imperial grandmother said?" the third prince asked.

Nan Ji quickly shook her head, "The concubine is only going to help the empress dowager massage her head when she is not feeling well. The empress dowager will send the concubine away even if she is having a headache when she discusses matters with others.

"You know, there are eyeliners everywhere in the palace, and I dare not eavesdrop."

The third prince sneered slightly, "Is it because you are one of His Highness's people that you were sent away?"

Nan Ji bowed her head and said nothing, she actually didn't want to enter the palace.

At first she thought that she could climb up to the queen mother to raise her status, but she didn't know that the queen mother was not so easy to serve.

Especially in the recent period, the queen mother has more and more frequent headaches, and her temper has become more and more irritable.
