Poor Family Laity

  Chapter 411, the death of the prince

  Prince Rong's Mansion has enmity with the Empress Dowager, which Shi Fuxin did not expect. When she guessed that someone was secretly dealing with Prince Rong's Mansion, she always thought it was the emperor.

   "I don't know if Chu Yao knows this?"

  Shi Fuxin hesitated whether to ask Chu Yao, but after thinking about it, she dismissed the idea.

   Just like she has no channels to know about the queen mother's private life, once she reveals the queen mother's affairs, Chu Yao can follow the clues to find Fu Gonggong and the cigarette bag.

   Now she also has no channel to know about the Empress Dowager, the only source of information can only be learned from her sister.

  Shi Fuxin didn't know how much the empress dowager suppressed Prince Rong's mansion, nor how many hatreds and contradictions there were. She couldn't take the risk of making Chu Yao hostile to An Guogong's mansion.

  But she already knew about it, facing the risk that the Empress Dowager might continue to attack Prince Rong's mansion, Shi Fuxin hesitated again and again, and decided to go to Ye Mo.

  As the former head of the Special Investigation Division, Ye Mo should know some secrets inside and outside the palace that others do not know.

  Because of dealing with the affairs of the prince's party, Chu Yao seldom returned to the palace during this time. When Chu Yao didn't return to the palace that night, Fu Xin immediately changed into night clothes and left the palace quietly.

  In Changle Hou Mansion, Ye Mo looked at Shi Fuxin who suddenly appeared in surprise: "Why are you here?"

  Shi Fuxin: "Master Ye, I don't want to bother you either, but recently I know something, but I don't understand the reason behind it, so I want to come here and ask you."

  Ye Mo: "What is it?"

  Shi Fuxin looked at Ye Mo: "Have you heard of the grievances between the Empress Dowager and Prince Rong's mansion?"

  Ye Mo said 'hmm': "If it wasn't for the fact that the prince wanted to take you as a concubine, I would have wanted to meet you and prevent you from marrying into Prince Rong's mansion."

  Hearing what Ye Mo said, Shi Fuxin couldn't help but sink in her heart: "What kind of grudge is there between the Empress Dowager and Prince Rong's residence?"

  Ye Mo: "Your brother-in-law Xiao Ziqing's grandfather can be said to have died indirectly at the hands of Old Prince Rong. Not long after the old Duke died, something happened to Xiao Ziqing's parents."

   "Although there were a lot of people attacking Anguogong's mansion at that time, the Prince Rong's mansion dealt the most fatal blow."

  Shi Fuxin didn't quite understand: "Why does Prince Rong's residence deal with Duke Ang's residence?"

Ye Mo: "Probably it was the order of the late emperor." Then he paused, "When only your brother-in-law is left in the Duke Anguo's mansion, the first emperor may also feel that it is too much, and take the initiative to seek peace with the empress dowager, The Empress Dowager also took the opportunity to step down, and only asked to keep your brother-in-law in the palace, and then ignored everything."

   "But who is the Empress Dowager?"

"The first emperor was only eight years old when he ascended the throne. At that time, he not only had four major ministers, but also the regent king who controlled the government. But in the end, the first emperor was still in charge. There was no protection from the empress dowager behind him. Whether the first emperor could grow up or not question."

   "An Guogong's mansion is almost extinct. How can the Empress Dowager swallow this enmity?"

   "The first emperor backed down when he saw the Empress Dowager, and he, who didn't like his clan in the first place, was even less likely to have trouble with the Empress Dowager for a Prince Rong's mansion. That's why we have the Prince Rong's mansion today."

Shi Fuxin understood that Prince Rong's mansion almost made An Guo's mansion extinct, and the empress dowager also wanted to make Prince Rong's mansion extinct: "The empress dowager did it for Chu Xuan and Chu Zhao, but why did she let Chu Yao go? ?”

  Ye Mo: "I didn't let it go, it was Chu Yao who entered the Hall of Reincarnation by himself, and was protected by the Lord of the Hall."

   "The main purpose of the establishment of the Hall of Reincarnation is to deal with the Qing emperor's side, and it is to deal with foreign relatives. The empress dowager does not want to make extra troubles. In addition, Chu Yao has inherited the peak internal strength, and her body has been overdrawn in advance. It is not a sign of longevity, so she is too lazy to deal with it."

As he said that, Ye Mo looked at Shi Fuxin: "Speaking of which, Prince Rong's Mansion would also like to thank you for marrying me. The Empress Dowager is very old, and she probably wants to solve the problems between the old prince Rong and the old man before she dies." Old Princess Rong's."

  Shi Fuxin's eyes flickered, and she now understood why the old concubine didn't like her so much, but she didn't really feel sorry for her, and would sometimes help herself.

  She has become the amulet of Prince Rong's mansion!

Seeing Shi Fuxin's brows twisted into knots, Ye Mo thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about the grievances between the Empress Dowager and Prince Rong's residence. Anyway, she has never done anything to Chu Yao, and she has no direct grievances with you." Shi Fuxin nodded: "Of course I won't care, I'm just worried about Chu Yao."

  Ye Mo looked at Shi Fuxin's struggle, and smiled: "It seems that you and Chu Yao have a good relationship."

  Shi Fuxin felt a little uncomfortable: "That's it."

  Ye Mo smiled, he has no children, Shi Fuxin and his brother have always been juniors in his heart, he is also happy to see that they are doing well after marriage.

   Put away the joke, Ye Mo straightened his face: "Since you are here, I have something to ask you today."

  Shi Fuxin: "You ask."

  Ye Mo: "You were involved in the downfall of the prince, right?"

  Shi Fuxin didn't say a word, it was a tacit agreement.

Ye Mo's face became serious: "You are the master of the eldest prince. Even if you don't take the initiative to do some things, you will be passively drawn into the chess game. What I want to tell you is that the key to winning the heir is not the prince, but emperor."

  "Throughout the ages, all the emperors cared most about themselves. All the people and things that challenged their power and safety were the targets they wanted to destroy."

  Shi Fuxin understood Ye Mo's meaning: "Master Ye, don't worry, I will try to keep a low profile in the future."

  Ye Mo sighed: "The emperor is very suspicious, you should be careful."

  Leaving from Ye Mo, Shi Fuxin returned to the palace.

  In late February, Xiao Ziqing was appointed as the left councilor of Cong Sipin of Ba Province, and took his wife and children with him.

  Chu Yao accompanied Shi Fuxin to the gate of the city to see him off.

  After sending the person away, on the way back to the palace, Chu Yao said to Shi Fuxin in a heavy voice: "Last night, the crown prince committed suicide in the clan's mansion."

  Shi Fuxin's face was shocked: "The prince doesn't seem like someone who would commit suicide."

Chu Yao rubbed his swollen forehead: "Before the crown prince committed suicide, the emperor sent the eldest prince and the fourth prince to visit. The prince met the fourth prince first. The two finished talking after a few words, and then the prince met the eldest prince again." Prince."

   "The watchman said that the prince was very excited when he saw the eldest prince, and the two even quarreled. In the end, the prince committed suicide within a quarter of an hour after the elder prince left."

  Shi Fuxin's face darkened: "The prince wants outsiders to think that he was forced to death by the eldest prince?"

  Chu Yao nodded: "The First Prince is still kneeling outside Qianqing Palace."

  Shi Fuxin frowned: "Your Majesty also thinks that the eldest prince forced the prince to death?"

  Chu Yao: "After the crown prince was abolished, many ministers submitted papers and asked the emperor to re-appoint the crown prince, and the eldest prince is the most legitimate next crown prince."

  Shi Fuxin was silent: "The emperor will suppress whoever is the prince. What the emperor cares most about is the imperial power in his hands."

  Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin, but did not speak.
