As soon as Emperor Liang left, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which had been quiet for a long time, fell into noise again.
"Congratulations to the second prince, congratulations to the second prince!"
"Song Yu was expelled from the imperial family, and now you are equivalent to His Majesty's eldest son!"
"That's right! Our tradition of establishing a heir apparent is to establish a direct descendant!"
"You are the eldest son now, and the position of prince should belong to you..."
Now that Song Yu has been deposed, the happiest people are the courtiers who originally followed the second prince Song De.
These people all had eager faces, as if they had finally gotten through it, and they surrounded Song De and began to compliment him.
Song De was already happy, and he was even more excited to be highly sought after by these ministers.
"Song Yu has violated the rules and regulations, and has committed the following offenses. He is not worthy of being the son of his father!"
"As the eldest son of my father, I naturally have to do my best to assist my father and set a good example for all my brothers!"
"..."
In addition to Song De's supporters, there were many courtiers who also wanted to surround Song Huan and compliment him.
But Song Huan seemed not to notice it, and just kept his head down and walked forward, not giving others a chance to cling on!
Song Huan understood that these people came to cling to him only because Song Yu had lost power.
It’s not because they sincerely want to follow themselves!
Song Huan naturally despised such a wallflower and had nothing to say.
Song Dezheng was talking excitedly, and when he saw Song Huan passing by him with an expressionless face, his face instantly dropped.
"Fourth brother, the prince has lost his virtue and made a big mistake. Don't imitate him and only imitate the bad things about him!"
"Did you hear that?"
Song Huan knew that after being praised a few times by the ministers, this guy felt a little arrogant and even lost his bearings.
There is a saying that goes well, if you want to make it perish, you must first make it crazy!
Since he loves to pretend, let him pretend to the fullest!
"Yes, yes, what the second brother said is absolutely true."
"My younger brother also feels that the position of crown prince must belong to my second brother!"
Song De originally thought that according to Song Huan's temper, he would retort and quarrel with him.
Song De had even prepared a counterattack!
Who would have thought that Song Huan could be so gentle, and Song De couldn't stop him in an instant.
"you……"
"If the second brother doesn't have any other instructions, I will leave first!"
Song Huan grinned and left the Hall of Supreme Harmony on his own, ignoring the astonished Song De.
Now that the crown prince's position is vacant, Song De will definitely go all out to fight for the crown prince's position and use all possible means.
If you stand up to speak against him at this time, you will definitely encounter his full counterattack.
Dogs will bite when cornered!
What's more, it's Song De, the second oldest child in ten thousand years who is extremely fanatical about the position of prince!
Just let him expand for a while.
I believe that soon, he will find a big gift that he has prepared for him.
After leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Song Huan planned to go to Huixian Yage to ask Xiuyue a few more questions.
After leaving yesterday, the more Song Huan thought about it, the more he felt that something was not right.
Xiuyue is Jiang Lin's best friend. If she wants to harm herself, it means Jiang Lin wants to harm him.
But Jiang Lin is Shangguan Yi's eagle dog. If he wants to harm himself, won't Shangguan Yi also be involved?
Song Huan knew that Shangguan Yi acted cautiously, and so did his subordinate Jiang Lin.
To be able to force Jiang Lin to the point of murdering him, he must have encountered another misfortune!
Song Huan planned to ask for clarification.
Maybe they can take the opportunity to instigate Jiang Lin and make him the last straw that overwhelms Shangguan Yi.
However, when Song Huan arrived at Huixian Yage and asked to see Xiuyue by name, Madam Liu frowned and shook her head.
"Sir, it's an unlucky time for you to come!"
"That girl Xiuyue has been redeemed and is no longer the musician of our Huixian Argyle!"
"If you like someone like Xiuyue, I can just go find it for you!"
"You can have as many as you want, I guarantee you'll be satisfied..."
Song Huan was confused.
"Redemption?"
"You're so good, why did you suddenly get ransomed?"
"Was he redeemed by Jiang Lin?"
The madam grinned: "Yes, sir!"
"Steward Jiang has been keeping Xiuyue for many days. This morning he suddenly brought a large sum of money and said he wanted to redeem Xiuyue's life!"
"I can't believe that a big shot like Butler Jiang would spend so much money on a little piano player like Xiuyue!"
"The dignified housekeeper of Taishi Mansion is actually a big lover!"
Seeing the madam cover her mouth and snickering, Song Huan's doubts deepened.
As a minion of the Grand Master, Jiang Lin had all his food, clothing, housing and transportation in the Grand Master's Mansion and would never leave the Grand Master's house.
It stands to reason that if he wants to monopolize Xiuyue, he only needs to spend money on her every month and let her live in Huixian Accord.
Where is the need to hide the beauty in the golden house?
It's even more strange to spend a lot of money specifically for this!
Full of doubts, Song Huan left Huixian Yage. He ordered the accompanying eunuch Xiao Lingzi: "Go to the Grand Master's Mansion in person."
"Just tell me that I have something to do with Jiang Lin and ask him to come immediately."
Xiao Lingzi nodded: "Yes!"
…
In the Taishi Mansion.
"Father! What's wrong with you?"
Seeing Shangguan Yi get out of the carriage with a pale face and sweating on his head, Jiang Lin was startled and quickly stepped forward to help him over.
"Go! Invite the doctor from Baicao Hall to come over!"
"Tell the kitchen to make a bowl of ginger tea!"
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you go and clean up the bedroom..."
Song Huanzheng was giving instructions one by one, but Shangguan Yi waved his hand lightly, signaling Jiang Lin to be silent.
"The situation is over..."
"The situation is over!"
"The prince... was deposed!"
Jiang Lin's eyes widened in horror, unable to believe what he just heard!
"What?!"
"Father, are you serious?"
"How can it be!"
"Didn't His Majesty just release the prince from confinement?"
"Why is it that it was abandoned today without even the slightest sign..."
Of course Jiang Lin understood what the prince's loss of power meant to the grand master!
No matter whether the next candidate for crown prince is the second prince or Prince Rong, once they take power, they will definitely put the grand master to death!
No wonder the Grand Master, who used to be calm and composed in the past, would be so out of his mind today!
Jiang Lin was in a panic: "Father! Why don't we immediately summon the Household Department, the Official Department, the Rites Department, Honglu Temple, Taichang Temple, Dali Temple...etc. to discuss countermeasures!"
"That's right! There are also all the bachelors from Wenyuan Pavilion!"
"They are all loyal followers of your adoptive father. Gather them together and we will definitely be able to come up with a countermeasure!"
"Yes...that's right!"
"Certainly possible……"
Jiang Lin was obviously panicked and kept mumbling to himself, planning to order someone to prepare a sedan for him when he went out.
However, Shangguan Yi shook his head solemnly.
"Such a big thing just happened today, do you think these courtiers still dare to come to my house?"
"Everyone is in danger at this time. I'm afraid everyone is trying to protect themselves wisely!"
"Why are you willing to come to my house to discuss some countermeasures?"
Shangguan Yi understands that they will not discuss countermeasures with him, because there is no countermeasure to discuss at all!
Today is different from the past. The mistakes made by the prince are so outrageous that there is no possibility of turning over.
The other two princes were both whom he had offended before.
No matter who of them holds the real power in the future, they will never let him go!
unless……
Shangguan Yi's eyes lit up, as if ice flashed across his face.
"Lin'er, I know what to do!"
