"Father!"

The fourth prince rushed into the dragon tent with a few guards, and was stunned when he saw the emperor playing chess with Gu Jian leisurely in the tent.

The emperor glanced at the fourth prince and knew that his son was not in a hurry to interact with the ministers in private after he fell into coma. He also saw that the anxiety on his face did not seem to be fake, and he looked good.

"Stand aside."

Knowing that the emperor was fine, the fourth prince breathed a heavy sigh of relief, sent the guards out of the tent, and walked to the side to stand.

For him, who has no chance to take the throne, it is most beneficial to the Fourth Prince's House if his father lives for a long time.

The fourth prince glanced at the third prince who was kneeling on the ground tremblingly, and shook his head in his heart. He used to think that this third brother was very smart, but judging from what he did today, he was extremely stupid.

With just one glance, the fourth prince looked away from the third prince, and his eyes fell on Gu Jian, who was playing chess with the emperor.

Seeing Prince Ping standing behind Gu Jian like a junior, the fourth prince was very surprised.

Sister Yang’s master seems to have a very unusual identity.

At this moment, someone else rushed into the tent.

"Your Majesty!"

Wu Jingyi, Yang Chenghua and several ministers entered the tent under the protection of their own servants. Seeing that the emperor was safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then knelt down to apologize: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am waiting for my escort to arrive late."

The emperor glanced at them: "Fortunately, there are still a few people who remembered to come over to escort him." After saying that, he didn't call out and continued to play chess with Gu Jian.

Yang Chenghua and others' heads were hung low.

The movement outside the tent became smaller and smaller, and when it was daylight, Wei Qi walked in: "Your Majesty, all the rebels have been brought under control. Only Duke Chengen led a group of people and fled deep into the paddock.

”

Emperor: "Are all the ministers okay?"

Wei Qi: "Except for a few adults who were accidentally injured while running around, everyone else is fine."

The Emperor: "Pass the decree, Duke Chengen and the third prince and below have rebelled against me and raised their troops to plot rebellion. From that day on, they surrounded Duke Chengen's residence and the third prince's residence. No one is allowed to step out of the mansion. Anyone who is disrespectful will be killed."

No forgiveness."

Hearing this, the third prince collapsed on the ground.

Not long after Wei Qi took the order and retreated, the eldest prince also entered the tent.

Seeing that the emperor was still energetic enough to play chess, the eldest princes quickly knelt down and said, "Father, please forgive me. I am waiting for rescue to come too late."

The emperor didn't even look at the eldest princes.

Even if the third child instigated the tent break-in before, if the elders didn't have the heart, they wouldn't have been easily instigated.

Huh, everyone is starting to have their thoughts on the throne!

At dawn, there were already people kneeling outside the dragon tent.

The mutiny between Duke Cheng'en and the Third Prince last night was so sudden that everyone only thought about escaping for their lives and never thought about rescuing him.

Now that the mutiny has been suppressed, everyone has returned to their senses, and they are shocked to realize the big mistake they have made. No, they immediately kneel outside the dragon tent.

All the officials looked at each other, and they all felt happy in their hearts.

Fortunately, there are many people.

If the law does not hold everyone accountable, the emperor should not pursue them.

At this time, there is nothing the officials don’t understand.

The emperor should have known about the rebellion between Duke Chengen and the third prince a long time ago, and should have been prepared for it.

"I really should have followed Yang Shoufu and the others to rescue him." Some officials regretted in their hearts, but it was a pity that it was such a good opportunity to show their face in front of the emperor!

The emperor knew that the officials were kneeling outside to plead guilty, so he didn't say anything. He took the porridge made from rice flowers and slowly ate it with Gu Jian and Prince Ping.

Daohua brought a bowl to the fourth prince, but she didn't care about the others.

At the beginning of Sishi (9:00), Xiao Yeyang came back with his people.

"Your Majesty, Duke Chengen and his men fled deep into the paddock and were bitten to death by a fierce tiger."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment.

A look of surprise flashed across the emperor's face: "Is the person dead?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded: "When I arrived with my people, half of Duke Chengen's body had been eaten by a tiger."

The emperor frowned: "Where are the people around him?"

Xiao Yeyang quickly glanced at Gu Jian, who was resting with his eyes closed: "Almost all of them are dead, and only two of them are still alive, and they were brought back by the minister."

Yang Chenghua glanced at the silent emperor and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Duke Chengen risked the disdain of the world to commit rebellion, and now he died in the mouth of a wild beast. This is God's punishment for him."

Wu Jingyi reacted and immediately echoed.

The other adults also followed suit.

Finally, the emperor let out a long sigh: "Although Duke Cheng'en was unfaithful, I cannot be unkind. Let's take his body back to the Jiang family."

Yang Chenghua and others immediately shouted: "Your Majesty!"

The Emperor: "Okay, pack up and prepare to return to the palace."

......

The carriage and horses for the return trip were quickly arranged. When everyone saw the emperor personally helping Gu Jian get into the carriage and calling him "uncle", their jaws dropped.

The eldest princes were stunned on the spot.

"What uncle?"

Daohua passed by them and replied: "Of course he is my uncle!"

Hearing this, the eldest princes looked at each other in confusion. They had met Gu Jian several times, but every time they met, they seemed to show little respect.

"We shouldn't have offended that old man, right?"

The eldest princes are extremely upset. Seeing how their father respects the ancient master, is it too late for them to please him now?

"The third child killed us!"

The eldest prince cursed remorsefully. At this moment, his intestines were filled with regret. He shouldn't have listened to the third son's instigation. Last night, he wanted to break into the tent and arrest Xiao Yeyang.

Well now, that old man is Xiao Yeyang’s wife’s master. What happened yesterday will definitely make Xiao Yeyang and his wife bear a grudge. It will be difficult for them to please the old man!

At this time, several imperial guards escorted the third prince out of the tent, and then directly escorted him into the carriage.

The second prince saw it and murmured: "Third prince, it's over."

The eldest princes stopped talking.

Qiu Lie returned to the city and it was much quieter than when he came here, but the quietness was only superficial. Everyone hid in their carriages and whispered about what happened this time.

In the carriage at Earl Zhaode's Mansion, Mrs. Han was talking to Han Xinman with a sigh on her face.

"How come Yan Yiyi is so lucky? She turned out to be the emperor's uncle when she became a master! No wonder the Yan family's family background is not prominent, and she can marry the prince of the palace as his wife. Unexpectedly, she has such a big backer behind her.

”

"Before, I thought it would be difficult for her to gain a foothold after marrying into the palace, but after seeing Prince Ping's attitude towards the old man, Yan Yiyi will probably be able to walk sideways in the palace."

Han Xinman also sighed: "Yes, why is she so lucky?"

Mrs. Han: "Before, considering that the Yan family came from a poor family, even after entering Beijing, I didn't think much of them. But now, with such a relationship with the emperor's uncle's family, the Yan family is really different."

In the past, during banquets and gatherings, she could still suppress Mr. Yan Li intentionally or unintentionally, but that is no longer possible.

After saying that, Mrs. Han glanced at her eldest daughter and persuaded her: "I will call your second sister home later. You two sisters should have a good talk. You can't continue to vent your anger on her."

Han Xin nodded wistfully. The thing she was most dissatisfied with was that she obviously married better than her second sister, but her life was not as comfortable as hers.

In the past, with the support of her mother and grandmother, she could suppress her second sister, but now that her second sister has a sister-in-law who is a concubine in the palace, she has to bow to her if she wants to get to know the royal family members. It is really disgusting to think about it.

The female relatives in other carriages were also saying similar things, especially those who used to dislike Daohua for her low status and being unworthy of Xiao Yeyang. Now they are all silent.

In the carriage of Prince Yong's Mansion, Princess Yong looked at her husband: "No wonder you always run to Four Seasons Villa. Do you already know that person's identity?"

Prince Yong smiled and acquiesced.

Princess Yonglao sighed: "I used to think that the Lord of Shengping County climbed up to Yeyang and made the Yan family what it is today. Now that I think about it, I still can't tell who made who."

Prince Yong Lao: "Yan Yatou and Yeyang are not who succeeds each other, but each other. Without Yeyang, the Yan family may emerge, but I don't know when it will be; without Yanyatou, Yeyang's

Ability can be valued by the emperor, but there will never be such friendship as today."

Just by performing filial piety and observing the rules by Gu's side, Xiao Yeyang's weight in the emperor's heart is not comparable to that of other royal children, not even the prince.

Princess Yonglao nodded with approval.

In another carriage, Princess Huijia was also sighing: "I didn't expect that the Lord of Shengping County would have such a good fortune." Although she married into Prince Ping's palace, she was favored by Yeyang, but how long can a man's favor last?
