"Fourth!"

When people are full of despair, their potential is stimulated, and Concubine Shu, who is usually powerless, can also explode with powerful destructive power.

If Xiao Yeyang hadn't arrived in time and hit Concubine Shu with the wrench he was wearing on his finger, the knife in Concubine Shu's hand would have directly pierced the fourth prince's chest.

"Fourth!"

The emperor supported the fallen fourth emperor, and his hands were instantly stained red by the blood spurting from the fourth prince's body.

The fourth prince smiled at the emperor and said weakly: "I hope your father is fine." After saying that, he fainted.

"The imperial doctor!"

"Where is the imperial doctor?"

The emperor yelled eagerly.

Soon, Yuan Zheng and several imperial doctors who had stayed in the side hall of Qianqing Palace rushed over.

The emperor directly placed the fourth prince on the dragon bed, and anxiously ordered the hospital administrator to cure the fourth prince.

When the blood on the fourth prince's chest was stopped and the situation was no longer critical, the emperor looked solemnly at Concubine Shu and the sixth prince who were being pressed to the ground by the guards.

"Come here, put Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince into the sky prison!"

......

Concubine Shu and the sixth prince launched a palace coup to seize the throne. The news swept through the entire capital like a tornado.

Just when all the officials were filled with panic and didn't know what to do, they heard that Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince were being taken to the prison by the imperial guards.

Knowing that the comatose emperor had woken up, many officials worshiped the Bodhisattva at home.

"Thank God, the emperor will be fine when he wakes up."

Except for those officials who are opportunistic and try to take advantage of the dragon, in fact, most officials do not want too much turmoil in the court.

Once turmoil breaks out, blood will flow, and no one can guarantee whether their family will be able to survive alone. Therefore, the best way is to survive smoothly.

Xiao Yeyang only returned to the palace the next night. When he came back, the third child had been sent back, and Xiao Mozhen had also returned to the fourth prince's palace.

"I heard that the fourth prince was injured, are you okay?" Daohua asked with concern.

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "There is no fear of life, but because it hurts the lungs, it may leave the root of the disease. I'm afraid I will have to take good care of it in the future."

Daohua showed sympathy on her face: "The fourth prince originally had ear problems, and now his heart has been injured, so he is in trouble."

Xiao Yeyang smiled: "Misfortune lies on the back of blessing, and blessing lies on the back of misfortune. This time the Fourth Prince's Mansion should be a blessing in disguise."

Daohua said ‘hmm’: “How to say?”

Xiao Yeyang explained: "Why do you think the emperor's uncle allowed Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince to cause so much trouble?"

"It is true that I miss the eldest prince, the second prince, and the fifth prince to seize the throne; it is also true that I want to take the opportunity to clean up a group of officials, but this is not the main purpose."

"The emperor's uncle is sixty, which is considered to be the longest among all previous emperors. It's time to think about the successor."

Daohua took over: "So, the emperor's uncle wants to use this incident to test the princes' reactions and abilities?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded: "It's a pity that the seventh princes neither showed outstanding abilities nor showed enough concern for the emperor's uncle in this incident."

Daohua sighed: "Uncle Huang is also a human being. When he gets old, he hopes to get the care of his children. Compared with other princes, it is too rare for the fourth prince to stand up and block the knife."

Xiao Yeyang's eyes flashed: "Isn't it?"

Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang: "You think the emperor's uncle will stand up...but the fourth prince is hurt." At this point, he paused, then laughed and said, "No one stipulates the throne.

It can only be passed on to your son, not your grandson."

Xiao Yeyang also laughed: "Compared with other princes and grandsons, Mo Reng is much better in many aspects. No matter what the uncle decides in the end, the fourth prince's house will definitely not be marginalized like before.

."

He didn't want to think about why the fourth prince didn't avoid the knife, but the relationship between his family and the fourth prince's mansion was pretty good. If the fourth prince's mansion benefited in the end, he would be happy to see it happen.

......

On the third day of the palace coup, the emperor appeared in the morning court.

At the same time, Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince, who were wearing prison uniforms, were also escorted to the main hall by the guards.

Seeing Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince looking embarrassed, the expressions of all the officials fluctuated a little.

A few days ago, both of them were high and powerful. Many officials thought that the sixth prince would really be the next emperor. They never thought that today they would become prisoners.

This result is not surprising.

At the emperor's instruction, Xiao Yeyang publicly announced what Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince had done.

"In order to frame the second prince, hundreds of villagers were massacred."

"In order to frame the fifth prince, I secretly made a dragon robe."

"In order to seize the throne, he poisoned the emperor and united with the Chang family to launch a mutiny, causing blood to flow in the palace."

As one incident after another was announced, the faces of all the officials changed.

Finally, Xiao Yeyang announced the emperor's decision: Concubine Shu and the sixth prince would be demoted to common people, given a glass of poisoned wine, and the entire Chang family would be executed. All officials involved in the rebellion and palace coup would be imprisoned, and would be punished according to the circumstances.

The officials arrested here are not only members of the Sixth Prince and his party, but also the First Prince, the Second Prince, and the Fifth Prince and his party.

Although the second prince and the fifth prince were framed by Concubine Shu, this does not mean that they did not commit evil deeds. It is even more unforgivable for the eldest prince to mess with the harem.

The emperor simply punished all those officials who jumped violently at once.

The eldest prince, second prince, and fifth prince are still imprisoned, but their sons are free and can go out and move around.

As a result, at least one-third of the official positions in the imperial court were vacant.

How to fill the vacancy has nothing to do with Xiao Yeyang. After the court, he went directly back to Prince Ping's Mansion.

"The fourth prince was left in the palace to recover from his injuries by the emperor's uncle. Mo Reng was also called to Qianqing Palace by the emperor's uncle. It seemed that he was there to take care of the fourth prince, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor's uncle wanted to teach Mo Rong himself. ."

Hearing what Xiao Yeyang said, Daohua couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Huang has just decided not to choose anymore? The seventh prince and the others are not very good, but there are still a few younger princes."

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "Uncle Huang is sixty. Even though he is in good health, he still lacks energy when facing the complicated state affairs. Mo Reng is fifteen and he already knows everything he needs to know. His teaching is comparable to that of several children. It’s much easier for the prince.”

"Of course, the emperor's uncle has not made a clear decree now. Everything may change. What will happen in the future depends on whether Mo Feng can seize the opportunity that the fourth prince worked so hard for him."

As he spoke, he looked at the rice flowers with a smile.

"It's time to pack our things. It's already July and we should go back to Xiliang. Not to mention staying in Xiliang for a long time, even if the capital is prosperous, we still want to go back."

Daohua smiled: "Today's Xiliang was built bit by bit by you, with your hard work, so you will naturally miss it."

Xiao Yeyang smiled and asked: "Why, you don't want to go back?"

Daohua: "I think about it, of course I do. You see how many things have happened in the past few months since I returned to Beijing. I still prefer the open and free Xiliang."

......

The fourth prince stayed in the palace to recuperate, and Xiao Moreng was taken by the emperor to teach him. The palace coup initiated by Concubine Shu and the sixth prince ended with this outcome that was beyond everyone's expectations.

The eldest prince, second prince, and fifth prince who were imprisoned in the mansion felt unspeakably complicated when they found out.

They had been fighting for so many years, but they didn't expect to lose in the end to the fourth prince who they looked down upon the most and thought was the least likely to win the throne!

Reluctance, frustration, and annoyance filled the hearts of the three of them.

"If I had to choose again, I should learn from the fourth child. If I don't fight, I will fight!"

After the affairs in the palace were settled, the emperor knew that Xiao Yeyang's family was going back to Xiliang, so he brought the three children into the palace.

This made Prince Ping dissatisfied and could only run to the palace every day.

As for Daohua, she went to Yanfu more often. This time she returned to Xiliang, and she didn’t know how long it had been since she saw her family again.

Xiao Yeyang, who was the most idle, set up a drawing board and drew two family portraits, one for Prince Ping and one for the Yan family.

Afterwards, I painted several portraits of daily life for Sanxiao. Except for Prince Ping who grabbed one, the others were all taken away by the emperor.

On July 16, after bidding farewell to relatives and friends, Xiao Yeyang took his wife and children on the journey back to Xiliang.

......

Looking at the city gate getting smaller and smaller, the three children lay beside the car window for a long time, unwilling to sit back in the car.

"Grandma even cried just now. She must be very reluctant to leave us."

"We can't bear to leave her, but we've been away for so long and it's time to go home."

"My cousin also gave us many things, but we didn't have time to return the gifts. Alas, we can only give them gifts when we come back next time."

The third child sighed for a while, and after he could no longer see the city gate, he sat back in the car obediently.

Looking at the gift box being pushed in the car, Sanxiao, who was still a little depressed, suddenly became happy.

"Father, mother, this time we returned to the capital. We made a fortune. When we said goodbye to Grandpa Huang, he gave us many gifts. When we said goodbye to Grandma, Grandpa Chu, and my uncle, we got many more things. I think we can come back more often.

times."

Dao Zi opened the gift box with the twins with a smile.

Daohua looked at the happy faces of the children, and the sadness in her heart was diluted a little. She looked at Xiao Yeyang beside her: "Now I know why you insisted on putting these gift boxes in the car."
