In the Taishi Mansion.
Shangguan Yi sat alone in his study, neither handling government affairs nor receiving guests.
Once the prince lost power, the people who came to visit him were no longer those who wanted to make friends and cling to him.
There were only a few subordinates working for Shangguan Yi, and they all hurriedly found Shangguan Yi's door like headless flies, fearing that the matter would be exposed.
Shangguan Yi was naturally missing.
At this juncture, they dare to come to me to discuss countermeasures. These people are really stupid!
Besides, isn't it just an unsatisfactory prince who has lost power?
What's there to panic about?
If this prince doesn't work, the worst thing is, just replace him with another one!
Now that he has a way, he can let a prince with mediocre qualifications sit on the throne for twenty years.
Of course, there is also a way to support one more person!
As long as his position as Grand Master is not shaken, it doesn't matter whoever becomes the Crown Prince.
The premise is...
It must not be Song De and Song Huan!
Time passed by minute by second. I don’t know how long it had passed, but suddenly the panicked voice of the boy came from outside the door.
"T-Master Taishi!"
"Something bad is going to happen!"
"Someone from Prince Rong's Mansion came to report!"
"explain……"
"It is said that shortly after Butler Jiang left, Prince Rong suddenly fell into a coma!"
"Now there is no pulse!"
"And Butler Jiang is missing..."
"That's why I came here specially. Please go there immediately!"
Wow——
Shangguan Yi couldn't restrain his excitement, stood up from the chair and opened the study door.
"What?"
"What did you say?"
"Say it again!"
The boy had never seen Shangguan Yi in such an emotional state, and thought that Shangguan Yi was frightened by the shocking news just now.
"Master Taishi...you, don't be anxious!"
"It is said that Prince Rong suddenly fell into a coma after Butler Jiang left for half an hour!"
"What's more, the whereabouts of Butler Jiang are still unknown. This matter is not necessarily related to you. I just sent you to ask a question..."
Shangguan Yi was impatient: "I'm just asking you if this is true!"
Just as the boy was about to respond, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Master Taishi, this servant is the chief eunuch of Prince Rong's Mansion, Xiao Lingzi."
"Now that the prince has encountered something unexpected, his life or death is uncertain. This matter may have something to do with the butler around you!"
"You'd better go to the palace with me first!"
Shangguan Yi recognized Xiao Lingzi and knew that he was Song Huan's personal eunuch.
Looking at Xiao Lingzi's pale face, Shangguan Yi was overjoyed!
Jiang Lin has always been reliable. I didn't expect that he would succeed in one fell swoop today!
Shangguan Yi's heart was beating wildly, as if she was still in disbelief.
He couldn't believe that this biggest threat to him was eradicated so easily by Jiang Lin!
"Master Taishi!" Xiao Lingzi reminded patiently, "You'd better follow me back to the palace first!"
"Master Zhou Jue, the Minister of Dali Temple, has also arrived and is sending someone to check!"
Upon hearing that Zhou Jue was here, Shangguan Yi immediately showed sarcasm.
A little minister of Dali Temple also wants to interrogate himself?
joke!
However, Shangguan Yi really wanted to see it with her own eyes.
What is it like for the usually scheming fourth prince to fall into a coma and never wake up!
Thinking of this, Shangguan Yi put on a panicked expression.
"What?!"
"This is happening!"
"Your Highness, Prince Rong, are you okay?"
Xiao Lingzi curled her lips speechlessly.
I thought that this Grand Master was highly virtuous and a powerful minister of Daliang!
But seeing Shangguan Yi's poor acting skills of pretending to be surprised, Xiao Lingzi couldn't help but feel very contemptuous.
"Your Highness is in a bad situation. Even the imperial doctor can't figure out what's going on!"
"I don't dare to alarm Lord Long Live for the time being. It's just that not long after Your Highness met Butler Jiang, such a change happened. It's really strange."
"Now that Butler Jiang's whereabouts are unknown, we'd better ask the Grand Master to go to the palace first!"
Upon hearing that this matter had not yet reached Emperor Liang, Shangguan Yi became even more proud.
The emperor is not here, and the rest are just a bunch of brats!
What can I do to myself?
"In this case, in order to prove my innocence, I must go there myself."
"Eunuch Ling, please lead the way!"
Not long after, the carriage left the Grand Master's Mansion and stopped steadily at the gate of Prince Rong's Mansion.
"Master Taishi, please!"
…
the other side.
In the General's Mansion.
"General!"
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince!"
"problem occurs!"
"Something big happened!"
Li Ping'an trotted all the way. I don't know whether it was because he was excited or he was running too fast, and he was a little out of breath.
Song Dezheng was sitting alone in the main hall drinking tea. When he saw Li Ping'an looking breathless and rash, he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.
"Uncle is resting in his room!"
"Why are you shouting so loudly?"
"How dignified!"
If it had been normal, Li Ping'an would have immediately lowered his head to admit his mistake and silently exited the main hall.
After all, everyone knows that the second prince has a very bad temper, and anyone who dares to provoke him will be seeking death!
Especially after the prince was deposed this morning, the second prince is even more prosperous!
The courtiers who came to visit the second prince after going to court almost squeezed through the threshold of the general's palace.
The current second prince is a popular candidate for the throne, and he cannot be easily provoked!
However, today, Li Ping'an was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic and did not calm down his excitement quickly.
"Your Highness, something really happened!"
"Something big happened!"
"I heard that Prince Rong..."
"died!"
"Dead?" Song De glanced at Li Ping'an and sneered, "Are you crazy?"
"Who is Song Huan, Prince Ta Rong!"
"There are shadow guards guarding you anytime and anywhere!"
"How is it possible to die just because you say you're going to die?"
"joke!"
"If he died suddenly, I would be willing to be a vegetarian for three years and not touch a woman for three months!"
"...No, don't touch it for a month!"
Li Pingan's face was full of anxiety.
"Your Highness, it's true!"
"Absolutely true!"
"After the court this morning, many ministers also visited Prince Xiang Rong, but they were all stopped outside the house one by one!"
"It is said that shortly after Prince Rong met someone, he suddenly fell into a coma and could not wake up!"
"I heard from people in the palace..."
"It seems that he has died!"
Seeing that Li Ping'an was serious and spoke with a nose and an eye, the sneer on Song De's face gradually solidified.
"Is this true?"
"Honesty?"
Li Ping'an nodded vigorously: "It's true!"
"And you must not have imagined who the last person Prince Rong saw during his lifetime was!"
This sudden news was so exciting that Song De's brain was a little overwhelmed.
Song De felt that he no longer had any ability to think.
"who is it?"
The smile on Li Ping'an's face was a little mysterious: "This person is none other than Grand Master Shangguan Yi's right-hand eagle dog, steward Jiang Lin!"
