Poor Family Laity

 The fourth prince’s determination to die shocked everyone.

The eldest prince, whose face was full of astonishment, obviously did not expect that the fourth prince would behave like this. Even though the battle inside the palace wall had ended, he still stood silently at the entrance of the palace and looked at the corpse of the fourth prince without moving for a long time.

At that time, Fuxin also felt a little emotional in her heart when she saw that the people in the Gyeonggi Camp had been captured by the Imperial Guards and soldiers from the Five Cities. The eldest prince was no longer in danger, so he did not stay and turned around to return to Prince Rong's Mansion.

 Fuxin didn’t pay much attention to what happened next. When she saw the eldest prince again, it was at the emperor’s funeral.

 After the emperor's funeral, the enthronement ceremony was held soon.

On March 20th, the eldest prince officially became the seventh emperor of Chu.

With the eldest prince's ascension to the throne, the officials who had previously taken refuge with the fourth prince were all in a state of trepidation.

 “Sixth sister.”

 “Yongan.”

 After the enthronement ceremony, Shi Fuxin was just about to leave the palace when she was stopped by Princess Yongan.

“Yong’an, why do you want to see me?”

Princess Yong'an glanced at the other people in Prince Rong's palace and asked Shi Fuxin to ride in the same carriage with her.

When Fuxin saw that Princess Yongan seemed to have something to say to her, she did not refuse.

After getting on the carriage, Princess Yong'an looked at Shi Fuxin with a slightly serious look: "Sixth sister, the Queen Mother just called me over to talk for a while. The Queen Mother has something to bring to you."

Hearing the news of the Queen Mother, Shi Fuxin couldn't help but feel nervous, but she didn't show it on her face: "What does the Queen Mother have to tell me?"

Princess Yong'an: "The Empress Dowager said that only Brother Ziqing is left in the Anguo Palace. The Prince Rong Palace who caused all this is worse than this, so she will not pursue it specially."

Shi Fuxin instantly understood what the Empress Dowager meant. Prince Rong's palace had caused An Guogong's family to almost lose its heirs, and there was no hope that the heirs would multiply and prosper. Only one of the three Chu Yao brothers could be left. The unexpected intention was to tell her to leave Chu Zhao alone. thing.

"Yong'an, please report back to the Queen Mother, I know what she means."

Princess Yongan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shi Fuxin agreed without any embarrassment.

 As Shi Fuxin’s younger sibling, she really didn’t want to see Shi Fuxin and the Empress Dowager getting into trouble.

 Afterwards, Princess Yong'an personally sent Shi Fuxin back to Prince Rong's Mansion.

“Third Madam, the old princess asked you to come over.”

As soon as Fu Xin returned home, she received a letter from Chu Yao.

The fourth prince died too simply. As soon as the news reached Jiangnan, the people who had previously taken refuge with the fourth prince and the Liu family immediately turned to Chu Yao. If there was no turmoil in Jiangnan, Chu Yao would return to the capital someday.

Before Fuxin could be happy, the old princess sent someone to call her.

 Since Princess Yong'an had previously sent a message to the Empress Dowager, Shi Fuxin was not surprised that the old princess would come to her.

At this time, Fuxin tidied up and got up and went to Rongxin Hall. As soon as she approached the courtyard door, she saw Chu Zhao coming out worriedly.

As the core figure of the four princes' party, Chu Zhao has often caused trouble for the eldest prince before. Now that the eldest prince has ascended the throne, he will definitely be liquidated.

"Greetings, Grandfather and Grandma, and King Father." Shi Fuxin waited until Chu Zhao had gone far before entering the Rongxin Hall. Only Prince Rong, Princess Rong, and Prince Rong were present in the hall. After seeing the elders, Shi Fuxin Xin sat silently in her seat and did not take the initiative to say anything.

Prince Rongjun is the person who loves Chu Zhao the most in the palace. At this moment, he is more worried about Chu Zhao's situation than anyone else. As soon as Shi Fuxin arrived, she couldn't wait to say: "Brother Yao's daughter-in-law, Zhao'er and Brother Yao'er are My brother who has broken bones and connected tendons, he worked for the fourth prince because he was blinded by lard. You are the emperor’s master, you must save him, I beg you.”

Shi Fuxin looked at Prince Rong in surprise. Her father-in-law, who had always given her direct orders before, was actually moved by his affection today. All his fatherly love was really given to Chu Zhao.

“Father, your Majesty has always avoided me as your nominal master. How can I really dare to show off my master’s record?”

Prince Rongjun said hurriedly: "Brother Yao's daughter-in-law, no matter what, you are the emperor's master and elder. The emperor will definitely give you some face."

 Shi Fuxin did not relent: "Father, you think highly of me too much."

 Princess Rong and Prince Rong, who were seated above, both saw that Shi Fuxin did not want to care about Chu Zhao's affairs, and looked at each other.

The eldest grandson Chu Xuan has been exiled. If something happens to Chu Zhao again, the only three grandsons left will be Chu Yao, who is the least close to them.

Thinking of this, Princess Rong looked at Shi Fuxin and said, "Brother Yao's daughter-in-law, you have never done anything for the palace since you married into the palace. Don't you deny this?"

Shi Fuxin looked at the old princess and said nothing.

Old Princess Rong continued: "Let us elders beg you to settle Zhao'er's matter. As long as you are willing to intercede for Zhao'er in front of the emperor, you will be in charge of the future collapse of the palace."

Shi Fuxin couldn't stop laughing at the old princess's alms-like tone. She wanted to take care of Shennongtang and have a beautiful smile. She was not surprised at all when the palace collapsed. Besides, if Chu Zhao was not saved, Chu Yao would become the only heir of the palace. , he can only inherit the palace, and as Chu Yao's head wife, she can't live up to her reputation in taking care of the collapse of the palace.

“Grandpa, grandma, the Empress Dowager asked Princess Yongan to bring me a message today.”

Shi Fuxin looked directly at Old Prince Rong and Princess Rong, and managed to see their expressions change.

“Grandparents, grandparents, and grandson-in-law don’t understand any big principles. As for me, I just want to be fair and safe. I am incapable and unable to ask questions about the others.”

Prince Rong didn't know about the grudge between Prince Rong's Mansion and the Empress Dowager. When he saw Shi Fuxin refused to help again, he became furious: "Shi, do you still take us elders seriously? You I really thought you were lawless, believe it or not, I will drive you out of the palace with a divorce letter."

Shi Fuxin was not affected by Prince Rong's anger, but stood up and looked at Lord Rong and Princess Rong: "Grandpa and grandmother, there are some things that my grandson thinks you should talk to your father about, so I won't bother you. , resign first."

 Seeing Shi Fuxin leave like this, Prince Rong was so angry that he shouted at his servants to get pens, inks, paper and inkstones so that he could write a letter of divorce for Chu Yao to divorce Shi Fuxin.

 “Okay, stop making trouble.”

Old Prince Rong spoke up to stop Prince Rong, and then sighed and told Prince Rong about the grievances between the palace and the Queen Mother.

Prince Rong was stunned for a while after hearing this, and then he said to Prince Rong and Princess Rong: "Father, princess, mother and concubine must save Zhao'er. Brother Yao'er, he and Xiao Ziqing are brothers-in-law, and the Queen Mother is not You will do anything to him, but Zhao'er is different."

Mr. Rong sighed: "If it can be saved, how can we not save it? But what can we do?"

Prince Rongjun gritted his teeth and said, "Use a letter of divorce to force the Shi clan to plead with the emperor."

Mr. Rong shook his head and refused: "If you do this, you will completely eliminate Brother Yao's feelings for you."

 Prince Rong Jun was thinking about Chu Zhao at the moment and couldn't care about anything else: "That only means that he and I have no father-son relationship." After saying that, he left the hall to write a letter of divorce.
