There was an old system in the Yong Dynasty.
The general of the Hussars was leading his troops outside, holding in his hand a hundred thousand emergency tokens given by the Emperor himself, so that when the battle situation became urgent, he could go directly to the imperial front without having to report at all levels.
When Xiao Hongda resigned as General of the Hussars, Emperor Yong was grateful for his service in guarding the border for more than ten years, so he deliberately did not take back the token to show his favor.
At this time, Xiao Hongda presented the token, saying that he was in urgent need and Emperor Yong must see him!
Seeing this opportunity, Huang Pei hurriedly rushed to Emperor Yong's side and said quickly:
"Your Majesty, the ancestral rules are upheld. This urgent order of 100,000 people must be received as soon as possible!"
Emperor Yong shook his head and swallowed the rest of his words.
He waved his right hand, "Xuan!"
The second prince frowned, it was almost!
Duke Dingguo is the quasi-father-in-law of the emperor's brother. When he comes here at this time, what will happen...
The second prince was worried and had a vague premonition.
Because according to the original plan, this portrait was most likely transmitted from the Dingguo Palace to the East Palace.
Could it be...
Duke Ding Xiao Hongda arrived so quickly that the second prince could even imagine Xiao Hongda striding down the palace road with his hems flying.
Because when he appeared in front of everyone, there was already sweat on his temples.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Hongda came to the palace and bowed respectfully.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the situation in the palace, and secretly glanced at Qiao Zhongguo, knowing that his timing was just right!
In fact, he had already boarded the carriage waiting outside the palace, but if the second prince hadn't made a move yet, his rash appearance seemed deliberate.
Dalang had already arranged for a young eunuch to deliver the message. I heard he was someone close to the fourth prince and he would send the message when the time came.
He was completely at ease with Da Lang, so he sat quietly and waited for more than half an hour. As soon as he received the news, he immediately handed over the 100,000 urgent token!
Emperor Yong lowered his eyes. During the short period of waiting for Xiao Hongda, his mood finally calmed down.
At this moment, he glanced at the second prince and then at the prince, feeling as if he was almost torn apart as his emotions surged.
He secretly clenched his fists under the case and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Aiqing, do you know that one hundred thousand emergency tokens is not a piece of cake? If you have anything important to do, please report it as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongda immediately reached into his arms and took out a neatly folded piece of paper.
He raised the paper high above his head and said in a solemn voice: "Back to Your Majesty, when I was counting the eldest daughter's dowry today, I accidentally discovered this thing and immediately felt chills all over my body!"
"The dowry of the prospective crown princess is to be sent to the East Palace. I can't imagine how much criticism and slander His Highness the Crown Prince will receive if this thing appears in the East Palace."
"Therefore, I made my own decision and used a hundred thousand urgent orders, just to see the Holy One immediately!"
As soon as Xiao Hongda said this, Huang Pei's whole body suddenly became energetic!
Could it be...could this be the prince's plan?
Thinking of this, Huang Pei hurriedly bypassed the long case and came to Xiao Hongda. He carefully took the paper and slowly unfolded it facing Emperor Yong.
The next moment, a portrait similar to the one presented by Huang Pei just now appeared in front of everyone!
The second prince closed his eyes slightly when he saw this, and understood everything instantly.
Sure enough...
He originally thought that Uncle Zhou had succeeded, but it turned out that this strategy had been seen through by the other party, and they actually used a trick to trick him!
However, that was one of the clever tricks left by his mother-in-law. Even he had never thought of such a dirty idea before, so no one should have expected this move.
Why...why opponents always see through his plans strangely, as if they are predicting the future...
The prophet!
As soon as these four words appeared, the second prince instantly thought of Meng Guxue who went to Nanli Country for marriage.
When they were leaving that day, he asked Meng Guxue if she could tell him Zhufeng's ending if she could predict the future.
He really wanted to know Zhufeng's whereabouts, but it was also the last time he tested Meng Guxue.
Meng Guxue really didn't have any scheming intentions. She chose to answer his questions lightly, but she forgot to deny his hypothesis.
Among all the people present, the only one who could come into contact with Meng Guxue, and even make Meng Guxue open her heart without any defense, was the one who saved her life - Qiao Zhongguo!
Thinking of this, the second prince suddenly turned his head and his eyes fell directly on Qiao Zhongguo!
This is why he has been trying so hard to get rid of the Qiao family. The Qiao family has become the biggest stumbling block for him to ascend to the throne!
How could the imperial brother have fought against him to this point without the support of the Qiao family?
Qiao Zhongguo noticed the second prince's gaze, his face remained calm, but he was secretly amazed in his heart.
Did this make him figure it out? Really smart!
At this time, Xiao Hongda was still continuing to exert force!
"Holy Lord, I don't know what kind of thief has such sinister intentions, but when you think about the thief's motives, it's simply horrifying!"
"He is trying to use this dirty trick to seduce Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince and your son, and even make His Majesty make an irreversible decision in anger!"
"I also ask the Holy One to order an investigation to find out the culprits, and to clear the innocence of His Highness the Crown Prince and his ministers. This is also to seek justice for the Jade Concubine!"
The last sentence directly blocked the second prince's mouth.
Didn't he just keep clamoring to make the decision for the Jade Concubine? Now their demands are the same!
The second prince sneered. The confrontation just now caused him to openly quarrel with the prince. Now that this matter has been brought up, there is no reason to let it go easily!
"Since Duke Dingguo is the quasi-father-in-law of the emperor, he is naturally towards the emperor. This time, my mother and concubine were humiliated for no reason. Who knows whether it is——"
"Your Majesty! I want to see your Majesty!"
There was a loud noise outside the imperial study room again, and it was very urgent.
Emperor Yong raised his eyes and looked outside the palace. At this moment, he had vaguely guessed the truth about the portrait.
The anger that had aroused just now had completely disappeared at this moment. He looked at the prince and the second prince sitting down, and realized very clearly that neither of them was simple.
In this game, even he, the king of a country, was caught up in it, calculated and pulled.
He tilted his head slightly, glanced at the hidden grid on the wall, and let out a low breath.
No one knows what thoughts are surging in Emperor Yong's heart at this moment.
Huang Pei is a smart person. At this moment, he has figured out the context of the whole thing. When he saw the prince's side, you sang and I came on stage, he was full of excitement.
He lowered his head slightly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, from the sound of the voice, it seems that the person outside the palace seeking to see you is Concubine Jing."
Emperor Yong nodded, "Xuan."
There were foreign ministers in the palace, so Huang Pei hurriedly stepped forward to make arrangements. Before Concubine Jing entered the palace, he asked his servants to set up a screen.
As soon as Concubine Jing entered the palace, Gulu immediately knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty! This is incredible, the harem is turned upside down!"
"The palace servants found a piece of filth in my concubine's palace today. It is simply unsightly!"
The second prince's eyelids twitched suddenly, and the next moment, there was another sound outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, the queen, Aunt Mei, is holding a painting and begging to see her!"
"Your Majesty, Zhou Zhaoyi holds a painting to ask for an audience!"
"Your Majesty..."
Huang Pei: (•́⍛•̀; ≡ •́⍛•̀;)
God, this old man is going to have his hands full!
