It's just that the princess is definitely not willing to give up on her cousin. Not only is the family relationship between the brother and sister, she also has to consider the actual interests.
The Sun family was not a powerful family to begin with. All the members of the family who had entered the capital were now driven back, leaving only Sun Sheng.
And other ministers in the court, including the ministers in the East Palace, did not have good relations with her. If Sun Sheng is convicted this time, she will really have no one to help her in the capital.
The Crown Princess immediately excused Sun Sheng. At least the Crown Princess' moral conduct was a little shallow, and those words sounded really lackluster to Li Hao.
When it comes to pretending to be a white lotus and being a scheming bitch, Xiao Qin is the most powerful. If the Crown Princess can have five points of her skills, she might be able to fool some people.
But now the Crown Princess only emphasizes her unintentional mistakes and her family's misery, and doesn't even know how to pass the blame to others in a reasonable manner. Li Hao and Mrs. Lou shook their heads when they heard this.
In the end, only the prince was a little shaken after hearing this. When Li Hao noticed this situation, he immediately said: "Your Highness, it is better to think about how to deal with it when your Majesty summons him later. Originally, the wild goose returned to the tower. The matter is the fault of the third prince. In fact, as long as I explain it to His Majesty alone, I believe that Your Majesty will give the Crown Prince an explanation. But now that Mr. Sun has made such a fuss, I am afraid that His Majesty will think that this matter was instigated by you. Then, do you think that Your Majesty will What will you think? Once His Majesty thinks that you are disregarding brotherhood and is going to deal harshly with the Third Prince, even if Your Majesty will punish the Third Prince at that time, what kind of impression will you leave in His Majesty's mind? And you must really If this matter gets bigger, will Concubine Yue come forward to stop it? If Concubine Yue comes forward, will the Queen come out? Then things will really get into trouble." Taifu Lou didn't just watch the fun, and then he also answered. Said: "Yes, Your Highness must not lose his reputation of benevolence now, otherwise not only His Majesty will have changes, but also it will have a bad impact on the courtiers." What Taifu Lou said was on point. Now the Prince is facing the outside world. The only thing that can hold it up is a benevolent name. If even this signboard is lost, then I am afraid that the follow-up will really lose the support of the people.
After saying this, the prince was stunned for a while. It turned out that he really regretted it now. If he had followed Li Hao's advice and handed all these people over to him, he would not have caused such a big trouble now.
However, he didn't have to take the regret medicine, and he didn't bother to speak to Sun Sheng anymore, and asked: "Then how should this matter be handled? Do you have any ideas?" Li Hao and Taifu Lou looked at each other, and then said: "The matter of the third prince is not important now. If your Majesty asks you about it later, the prince only needs to tell the truth, and it will be up to your Majesty to make the decision. The most important thing now is to show your majesty that it is not the prince who spreads this matter to the outside world. What His Highness did was because someone took the opportunity to cause trouble." Then Li Hao paused deliberately, then looked at Sun Sheng and said: "But this is indeed the case, so in fact, His Highness the Crown Prince only needs to tell the truth. Anyway, the specific matters are up to Your Majesty. I will also order people to investigate. With Master Sun’s ability, I shouldn’t be able to hide it from people, unless..."
"Unless there is another mastermind behind this matter, it is aimed at His Highness the Crown Prince." Taifu Lou smoothly said what Li Haowei said.
This also made the prince frown even more tightly. Wang Chun began to cooperate when he saw this. After all, from his position, he definitely did not want the prince to be implicated in this matter.
Especially since the culprit of this matter is Sun Sheng, an unreliable guy. After the words of the three people present, the prince's intention to save people has been shaken. Even Li Hao can understand this. The princess and the prince have been married for so long, so naturally they will not understand it.
So another round of nonsense started, insisting that the prince would help Sun Sheng because of his past friendship.
Hearing this, Li Hao couldn't help but said: "In terms of love, does the Crown Princess think that the relationship between you and the Crown Prince is more important than the love between your Majesty, the Queen and the Crown Prince's parents? If this hurts the relationship between Your Majesty and the Queen, Heart, can the Crown Princess bear this responsibility?" The Crown Princess didn't know what to say, and she was successfully silenced. After all, she didn't dare to offend the two above.
So when faced with someone who doesn't talk about the truth but talks about feelings, you really can only use the same method with her, and then defeat the enemy with one move, otherwise it's just like chicken and duck.
And after a quiet moment here, Dachangqiu Cao Cheng came over in person and wanted to summon the prince to ask questions.
Everyone was prepared for this, and the prince immediately got up and went with Cao Cheng. At this moment, Li Hao suddenly said: "Your Highness, now that the criminals involved in this matter have been captured, why don't you Take it directly to His Majesty and report it to His Majesty. In case His Majesty asks you about it later, His Majesty will send someone back to the East Palace to escort you. It will be a waste of time and appears to be insufficiently prepared." The prince was still hesitant after hearing this, but Cao Cheng suddenly listened. Understood.
Ever since the news reached the palace, he knew how tense the atmosphere in the palace was now, and he naturally hoped that the matter could be settled as soon as possible.
He immediately said: "In that case, let's escort them all over." After saying that, he ordered his men to take a few people over. Of course, in the process, he also noticed Sun Sheng's presence.
But he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, he could be held captive in front of the prince. Thinking about it, the evidence was very conclusive.
As for what the Crown Princess would think, don't even care. Anyway, as long as he takes care of Emperor Wen, other people's opinions don't really matter.
Perhaps the Yue concubine and the empress must be added, but the crown princess is definitely not in this category. Because Cao Cheng had been in the palace for so many years, he finally understood that even if the prince could ascend the throne and become emperor in the future, the princess might not be able to become the queen.
Now that the Crown Princess can sit comfortably in the East Palace, she relies on Emperor Wen's care for her old relationship and the Queen's care.
If one day these two are really gone, those aristocratic families who want to interfere with the position of queen will definitely try their best to pull her down.
However, it is now extremely difficult for this woman to give birth to an heir, which makes the difficulty even lower. If you take her brain into account, it will become easier.
And since Cao Cheng can see this clearly, those who have a little knowledge of the affairs in the palace will also be aware of it to a greater or lesser extent, especially the officials in the East Palace.
The princess herself was dreaming, and fantasizing about how she would deal with such a disgusting person like Li Hao after becoming the queen.
After the prince and others left, Li Hao and Mr. Lou also came out together. On the way, Mr. Lou couldn't help but worry: "What do you think the prince would say to your majesty? If he really wants to speak for Sun Sheng at this time, just I'm afraid that I will annoy His Majesty." Li Hao replied: "Everything that can be done has been done. Now we can only wait to see the specific results. It is useless to think too much." Indeed, now everyone can only wait. After all, only the prince can handle this matter today, and it is hard for foreign ministers like Li Hao to join in the fun.
Of course, if you are Ling Buyi, you can give it a try. Others should try not to die.
Li Hao didn't know exactly what Emperor Wen of Japan said to the prince and the others that day, because when he saw the prince the next day, he didn't mention it. He was probably silenced by Emperor Wen's order.
But in the end, neither the third prince nor Xiao Yuehou was punished. Only Sun Sheng and a few of his followers were charged with deliberately instigating and spreading rumors in an attempt to alienate the Tian family.
For the sake of the Crown Princess, Sun Sheng was stripped of all his official status, confiscated his family property, and was sent to Lingnan.
Others were not so good. Not only were they deprived of their positions and their homes were ransacked, but they themselves also went to the guillotine. They also implicated the clan members. The children of the clan were severely penalized. In the future, the clan members will have to try to stand out again. It's undoubtedly a bit more difficult.
Of course, the lack of punishment did not mean that Emperor Wen simply let the matter go. It was just that Emperor Wen considered the impact and did not want to confirm the matter.
Later, according to Li Hao's observation, although the third prince could enter and leave the palace for a long time, he never entered the palace.
Obviously, he should have been under palace confinement, but he didn't know how long he had been under confinement. There are also rumors that Emperor Wen is already making preparations and intends to have the third prince return to his fiefdom to fight.
And seeing that Emperor Wen did not specifically ban the rumors, I think Emperor Wen must have really had this idea at this time.
As for Xiao Yuehou, he has been out of the house a lot less recently, and he has basically never met the third prince again.
Of course, this was all on the surface, and Li Hao didn't know about private matters. Finally, it is the prince's side, probably because although the prince is responsible for misusing the villain, he is the one who suffers in the end.
Therefore, Emperor Wen later gave many rewards to compensate the prince. Among them, he also gave the tiger talisman, and Ling Buyi came with the tiger talisman.
Emperor Wen also sent Ling Buyi over to help the prince with his affairs. He used these two things to express his attitude to the courtiers that he had no intention of Yi Chu.
After Li Hao learned the news, he couldn't help but feel helpless. Emperor Wen was obviously helping the third prince to lay mines for the East Palace, but in the end, the prince had to be grateful for it.
However, with the arrival of Ling Buyi, Li Hao had less things to do. At least the tasks that were originally assigned to Sun Sheng. After Ling Buyi took over, Li Hao no longer had to think about cleaning up the mess. .
But that's where the problem came. After the prince got the tiger talisman, under the persuasion of Ling Buyi and Li Hao, he decided to put the tiger talisman in the East Palace for himself.
But what if the prince has a few more nightmares and then wants to hand over the tiger talisman. Although Sun Sheng is now assigned to Lingnan, he will never lose the tiger charm again.
But it is still possible for the prince to give the tiger talisman to Ling Buyi. After all, judging from the relationship between the two, Li Hao is definitely not as good as Ling Buyi.
And now that I think about it, Li Hao's status is not suitable for holding the Tiger Talisman, because Li Hao is a foreign minister after all, and he does not always stay in the East Palace. With this status, carrying the Tiger Talisman with him is the source of trouble.
On the other hand, Ling Buyi, this guy is the eldest son of Emperor Wen, so he won't have these worries with the tiger talisman.
As for the other officials in the East Palace, Taifu Lou, like Li Hao, is not suitable, but Wang Chun is.
After all, he married Wen Xiujun, so he was considered a relative, and he was very close to the prince. Thinking that Wen Xiujun could use Wang Chun's seal to forge military orders, Li Hao did not dare to let him take the tiger charm back.
Without the Tiger Rune Cultivator, she dared to forge military orders. With the Tiger Rune Cultivator, she would have to turn the sky upside down. If she got the Tiger Rune Cultivator to Shouchun, she might really be able to poke a hole in the sky.
But just when Li Hao was worried about this in his mansion, he suddenly heard a maid hurriedly coming to announce the good news.
The man who was trotting along was so out of breath when he saw Li Hao that he couldn't even speak. When Li Hao saw this appearance, he was still puzzled. How could such a sudden happy event be worthy of running like this? He said, "Where does the joy come from? Can you please take a breath and speak slowly?" The maid calmed down. After a while, he said: "Nujun is pregnant. She is not feeling well today. When the doctor came to see her, the doctor said that she was already pregnant." Upon hearing this, Li Hao immediately happily put away those troubles. The matter was forgotten, after all, they had been married for many years.
Although I spent a lot of time away from home before, the two of them spend a lot of time together, especially in the past year or so, when I have been at home most of the time.
But there was no movement in Qu Lingjun's belly. This made Li Hao think that it was a second time travel and the fertility function was cut off.
Li Hao had been worried about this for a long time. Now that he knew that his worries were unnecessary, he was naturally very happy.
So he complained out loud: "Remember to tell me this happy event earlier next time, don't waste time." After saying that, he ran back to his yard and gave the maid a good meal. It was obviously you who asked me to tell you slowly. of!
When Li Hao came back, he was surprised to find that Mrs. Liang was here today, holding Qu Lengjun's hand and carefully explaining the precautions for pregnancy.
It was really different from her previous image. You must know that at this time in the past, she must have been in the small ancestral hall. It seems that the matter of intergenerational marriage is indeed not unreasonable.
However, after noticing Li Hao's arrival, Liang took the initiative to give up her position and gave Li Hao the burden of asking questions.
But even so, before leaving, he still did not forget to tell Li Hao to take good care of Qu Lengjun.
Li Hao naturally agreed one by one. After all, this is his own flesh and blood, so he must take good care of it.
It's just that Li Hao is actually very good at taking care of pregnant women. After all, in Zhifu, except for Li Hao who was away fighting for the first child, Li Hao took care of the subsequent children from beginning to end.
Compared with Liang who only gave birth once, Li Hao has much more experience. But this joy did not last long in the end, because after Li Hao returned to the East Palace.
The prince came over and called Ling Buyi at the same time. Then he talked about the nightmares he had at night and said that he could feel something unusual, so he insisted that the two of them take the tiger charm away for protection.
