Bad man, the system crashed.

Is it too unreasonable to bring one? "

"Haha, what eldest brother said is that I will go back and make up for the gifts."

"Wait a minute." Lu Ze stopped him, "No need for the expensive ones. The Crown Princess's clothes don't seem to fit the Crown Prince well. Ask Fulin Embroidery Shop to send some good materials over and let the Crown Princess choose some. Just a few sets of clothes."

"Yes, eldest brother, my younger brother will do it now." The sixth prince said respectfully.

No matter how expensive Fulin Embroidery Village is, it is still the lowest among the people of agriculture, industry and commerce.

Knowing that the Crown Princess wants it, how dare you delay?

As soon as the Sixth Prince said hello, they came over immediately holding the best cloth.

Lu Ze excitedly pulled Tu Sheng over, "See which color you like, and we'll choose which one."

Tu Sheng shook her head, she really didn't know what to choose.

Lu Ze had no choice but to drag her to choose, "Look, this picture of hundreds of butterflies is suitable for you. Your skin is white."

"The green color of this lake is also suitable for..."

"This Furong..."

"This peony..."

"This is elegant..."

"This red..."

…

After choosing this water, the shopkeeper looked at it and it seemed that he wanted all the water he had brought.

The shopkeeper said tremblingly: "Your Highness, do you want all of these one hundred and twenty horses?"

"If you want everything, go to the Sixth Prince to settle the bill."

"The sixth prince said it, he said it."

The shopkeeper quickly ordered a seamstress to measure Tu Sheng's figure.

The Sixth Prince left the Prince's Mansion and went to Tu Mansion to meet Tu Pingyun and Tu Shangshu.

The three of them were silent for a long time.

There is absolutely no way that the Tu family would reveal the matter of substitute marriage.

Just imagine, you are a high-ranking official, and a concubine secretly married a huge scandal, but the prince buried it for you without pursuing any investigation. You didn't want to quickly replace the person, but you actually took the risk of exterminating the family to expose your own shortcomings. Isn't this deliberately seeking death?

There's obviously some fraud involved.

Can the four princes and their party not be suspicious?

Can the prince not doubt it?

Then wouldn’t their strategy of hiding one’s strength and biding time be completely wasted after years of painstaking planning?

But if we don’t expose it, will the mistake continue like this?

Then the Tu family married a mute girl into the prince's house?

Isn’t this still courting death?

Knowing clearly that your legitimate daughter has a disability and not reporting it is a grave crime of deceiving the emperor!

By then, even if the Tu family was ordered to help the sixth prince, the emperor would suspect them of having ulterior motives.

Tu Pingyun was inexplicably demoted from a legitimate daughter to a concubine?

It is impossible for the fourth prince to expose it.

A concubine's secret marriage is her fault, no matter how big or small it is.

But deliberately concealing the disability of the legitimate daughter and marrying her to the prince would be a serious crime.

Even if the emperor wants to protect the Tu family, he must order severe punishment.

At that time, Tu Shangshu, who has always been neutral on the surface, will be demoted three levels in a row. The position of Shangshu will be vacant, and someone from the fourth prince will have the opportunity to take over. Moreover, the fourth prince likes Tu Pingyun, but he has a wife. Tu Pingyun is demoted to a concubine, then He could easily take her as his concubine.

"Then there is only one way." The sixth prince knocked on the table, "Father."

Does the prince think he can seize the fate of the Tu family by killing Tu Sheng, who is his legitimate daughter?

Thinking too much.

As long as his father still favors him, he will be invincible.

Although my father had never seen Tu Pingyun on the surface and had only seen his portrait, he could still expose it.

After the exposure, the letters exchanged between Tu Pingyun and the fourth prince were found, which would naturally prove the fourth prince's guilt.

You can still kill three birds with one stone.

It not only deepens the rift between the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince, but also suppresses the Fourth Prince, and proves to the world that the Crown Prince is just a fool.

But...who gave the prince such a sinister idea?

They made a huge mess.

With questions in mind, the sixth prince returned to his mansion. As soon as he got off the sedan chair, the shopkeeper leaning over the door handed over the bill.

When the Sixth Prince looked at the bill, his body, which had been pretending to be weak, really couldn't breathe and it took a long time.

Regardless of whether he is a prince or a prince, his salary is better than that of a first-grade official. In fact, it is not much. The annual salary is only 5,000 taels of silver and 5,000 hu of rice.

There are so many servants, how much money can be saved?

The mansion we live in is issued by the emperor and can be taken back at any time, and there is no land deed.

Things given by the emperor cannot be sold.

His mother was just a girl from a small family, and people thought that she could be granted the title of concubine only because of her years and seniority.

My mother’s family had no support.

If he gave these one hundred and twenty pieces of high-quality fabrics seven thousand silver, wouldn't it be equivalent to announcing to the world that he had colluded with officials, or had started some business among the people? Otherwise, how could he afford such expensive expenses? fabric?

What a big pit!

The Sixth Prince gritted his teeth, "I'll write the IOU."

"this……"

The shopkeeper didn't know what to say. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for a dignified prince like you to write an IOU and spread it around?

Can the Sixth Prince not understand the meaning of the shopkeeper's meaningful glance?

Doesn't he feel ashamed?

But what can be done?

What can he do?

Is it publicly stated that I colluded with others to enrich myself, embezzled and accepted bribes?

…

On the second day, according to the rules, Lu Ze took the Crown Princess into the palace to pay his respects to the Queen of the Middle Palace.

The prince's biological mother, Xiao Renjing, and the queen died young, so the middle palace remained empty. Concubine Qi, the mother of the fourth prince, presided over all matters in the harem.

Therefore, the two of them met with Concubine Qi.

Lu Ze took the Crown Princess to salute Concubine Qi.

Qi Fei, with the attitude of "I am a gentle, virtuous and generous concubine", asked the two people and smiled, "Is the Crown Princess used to living in the Crown Prince's Mansion?"

Tu Sheng nodded, and Lu Ze said, "Madam Qi Fei, Sheng Sheng said that she is very satisfied, most satisfied with this Crown Prince."

If there is no "most satisfied", why would the Crown Prince spread the message?

Tu Sheng pulled Lu Ze, and Lu Ze pretended not to see it.

"That's good." Concubine Qi smiled dignifiedly, "Why doesn't the Crown Princess speak?"

"She can't speak." Lu Ze said casually, but Concubine Qi's face changed drastically. She asked in a deep voice: "What did you say?"

"Shengsheng can't speak since she was a child, but it doesn't matter. I understand what she wants to say."

Lu Ze smiled and said: "My queen, Shengsheng grew up in the backyard since she was a child. She doesn't know many rules. Don't deliberately embarrass her and scare her."

"What is the prince talking about?" Concubine Qi said angrily: "Does the emperor know?"

"Father? He should know."

As soon as Lu Ze finished speaking, the emperor came.

The emperor came with a mission, but he still had to pretend to be a loving father who doted on the prince. He smiled and asked everyone to stand up, "What are you talking about?"

"Your Majesty..."

"Father." Lu Ze interrupted Concubine Qi, "I am telling Concubine Qi that before Sheng Sheng married me, Minister Tu helped us keep watch and help us meet in secret."

Concubine Qi: "..."

Well, she didn't even have to do anything, the prince was looking for death.

The emperor, who was about to expose Tu Sheng's identity, was silent.

How could he expose it.

After exposing it, it was still Minister Tu who deceived the emperor.

And not only deceived the emperor, but also deliberately designed to deceive the prince.

Tu Sheng wanted to shake her head and say no, but she held back.

Married women should obey their husbands, this is what the prince said to her.

She must remember not to ruin the prince's business.

As Lu Ze spoke, he presented a jade pendant with both hands, which can only be worn by the legitimate daughter of the Tu family.

Lu Ze grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, "Father, look, this is the token of love that Shengsheng gave me. I thank you for helping Shengsheng and I fall in love."

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

At this time, Concubine Qi said appropriately: "The Tu family deceived the emperor and concealed the fact that their legitimate daughter was disabled and married her to the prince. The princess consort, she... was born with a mute disease."

The emperor had a headache.

Really a headache.

In his heart, he still believed in Minister Tu.

After all, the two of them had a deep friendship.

But at the same time, he was also wondering why the Tu family did not allow Tu Pingyun to meet the prince privately, but replaced him without authorization?

The prince was a knife in his hand, used to sharpen Concubine Qi's family, and also to train the Sixth Prince.

Before everything was settled, he would not allow anyone to have other thoughts about this knife. ♦思♦Rabbit♦网♦

The emperor said, "Call Tu Ruhai to the palace."

At this time, Tu Pingyun of the Tu family had already changed her clothes. She deliberately picked a plain dress and put on a pitiful makeup to apologize to the emperor and plead for the Tu family.

In her opinion, if the marriage substitution was exposed, she would definitely be summoned to the palace with her father.

When the letters between her and the fourth prince were found, she would be able to prove her reputation as a beauty who brings disaster.

Unfortunately, the emperor only summoned Tu Shangshu.

Chapter 118 The Crown Prince is Crazy (2)

"How is it possible?"

Tu Pingyun questioned the eunuch who summoned him, Fu Donghai, in shock.

Fu Donghai looked at her with contempt. He was the emperor's personal eunuch. How dare a little legitimate daughter question him?

He ignored Tu Pingyun and took Tu Shangshu into the palace.

Tu Shangshu knelt on the ground, confused, and had no idea what was going on.

The emperor was tired. As an emperor, he had to remind his ministers what happened.

The emperor asked: "Minister Tu, the prince said that he had a secret meeting with the princess before the marriage with your help, and took out the jade pendant of the Tu family's legitimate daughter. Is this true?"

"It's unfair, Your Majesty." Minister Tu kowtowed and said: "I know nothing about these things."

Minister Tu was devastated.

He was completely confused now, and he just felt that the prince was really cruel.

Deliberately saying such words as a secret meeting was clearly to confirm the crime of their Tu family deceiving the emperor.

"Minister Tu, why did you turn your face and deny it?" Lu Ze said very innocently and excitedly: "In the inner courtyard of the backyard of this rank official, if you didn't let me go, how could I have a secret meeting with Shengsheng, and how could I get the jade pendant of the legitimate daughter?"

It's a mess, a mess!

Minister Tu wiped his sweat. It was indeed him who let the prince and Tu Pingyun have a secret meeting late at night and develop feelings.

But... in order to keep it secret, he didn't leave any witnesses!

And what can he say now?

The prince said that it was Tu Sheng who had a secret meeting with him. What reason does the prince have to lie?

Even if he now says that the person he indulged in a secret meeting with was not Tu Sheng, but Tu Pingyun, who would believe it?

Now, if he says that Tu Sheng is not a legitimate daughter, then he is deliberately deceiving the prince and has ulterior motives.

If he says that Tu Sheng is a legitimate daughter, then he is deliberately deceiving the emperor and letting a mute girl with congenital disabilities marry into the royal family.

Each of these is a serious crime.

Minister Tu was sweating profusely and really didn't know what to do.

He opened his mouth and said after a long time: "It was Tu Sheng himself..."

"Minister Tu, think about it first." Lu Ze pulled the corner of his mouth, "The mansion of a first-rank official, how can guarding be a joke? Sheng Sheng and I have not only dated once."

You can say that there are too many people in the mansion and something went wrong when you got married. You usually haven't been discovered several times. Do you really think others are blind?

In any case, the charge of indulging your daughter to seduce the prince is inevitable.

Minister Tu trembled slightly and kowtowed, saying: "I know my crime, please punish me, Your Majesty."

He knew his crime, but didn't say which crime it was.

This left room for the emperor to choose for him.

It was treacherous enough.

After a long time, the emperor said majestically: "Tu Ruhai, you concealed the congenital disability of the crown princess and deceived me and the crown prince. Do you know your crime?"

"I know my crime."

"In view of your companionship since childhood and your diligent contributions for more than 20 years, I will forgive you this time and demote you three levels. This will not happen again."

"Your Majesty." Concubine Qi asked in confusion: "Such a serious crime, just demoted three levels?"

"Concubine Qi, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."

The emperor was cold
