008. Situation
Naturally, the wedding could not continue. Concubine Lan and the ninth prince were banned. Soon after, there was the news that Concubine Lan hung herself and the ninth prince was given wine. Although she got the title of princess, she was sent to Ranfeng Palace.
I think although the emperor admitted his blood relationship with her, he did not accept her from the bottom of his heart. After all, it has been Xiyan who has been with the emperor for so many years.
His plan seems to have been completed smoothly, but I'm afraid the future will be more difficult. After all, if he removes the ninth prince, he will become the target of other princes. Although he is already prepared, there are still many unknown risks.
Therefore, since Xiyan was given death, I have no sleep for a night. It is obviously not me who is in danger, but I still can't feel at ease.
Xiyan's end was by no means the worst in the prince's fight, but even so, it shocked me very much.
But he ordered me not to leave Shengqiu Palace and let me wait for him in Shengqiu Palace.
Of course, I won't be willing to wait, but whether I climb over the wall from the front door or the back door, I will be stopped by the bodyguard. At this time, I know that the situation outside must be the most tense.
Otherwise, he would not have used such a means to restrict my movement.
Although it is impossible to get out of the Shengqiu Palace, the bodyguards responsible for guarding the Shengqiu Palace rotate every day, so they can also ask about some outside situations from their mouths.
Of course, I asked them at the beginning that they didn't want to speak. At this time, I always stuffed some gold ingots. When the gold ingots were used up, I used some jewelry he gave me.
It is said that shortly after the death of the ninth prince Xiyan, the third prince and the fourth prince, who were originally attached to the ninth prince, united.
Before he sent me to the prime minister's office, he had analyzed the situation with a counselor.
I was also present at that time. The counselor was not willing to say anything when he saw me, but he insisted that I was not an outsider, so I listened to the counselor: "The Third Highness and the Fourth Highness are not in the weather. If the ninth Highness hadn't been blocking them, they would have been assigned to the frontier with the Second Highness a few years ago. Therefore, they should form an alliance after the removal of His Royal Highness.
He nodded in agreement, and then looked at the counselor and motioned him to go on.
"Your Highness is the balance point of the current pattern. Once it is broken, the rest of the points will deviate from the original track. Among the ten highnesses, except for the ninth highness, the most outstanding one is you. Therefore, what you should pay most attention to is not the other highnesses, but..." The counselor raised his hand and looked at him deeply.
