After this incident, the party that was hardest hit was the party inside and outside the court.

Many of the children of important ministers became the targets of Cui Yuanjue's order to "never enter officialdom".This means that at least during Cui Yuanjue's reign, they will not be able to enter the court and serve as officials.

Even if you can inherit the title from your ancestors, it can only guarantee a life of food and clothing.

Cui Yuanjue's "official ban" means that it is difficult for the children of these high-ranking officials and powerful people to further strengthen the family power. In other words, they are basically useless to the prime minister and noble concubines.

Even the ruling party himself did not expect that a small and dirty incident between the princes would cause a huge setback to the ruling party's power.The upstart party supported by the prince gained the upper hand.

After hearing the report from his subordinates in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister was so angry that he almost vomited blood.He scolded the third prince for getting in the way, and firmly believed that this matter was absolutely inextricably linked to the prince Cui Yuzhen.

These are all later stories.

Seeing the fifth prince walking away with the eunuch beside the emperor, Mo Qin quickly got up and followed hurriedly.

After returning to Lingxi Hall, the imperial doctor just arrived.After treating the injuries of the fifth prince, Eunuch Li also comforted Cui Qiu, who looked frightened, and then said, "Your Majesty still has something to do. Since the imperial doctor said that the fifth prince needs to rest, we will leave first." Then he hurried away.

After seeing off the outsiders, the frightened and frightened expression on Cui Qiu's face slowly faded away.

His face slowly became as dark as an abyss, and his eyes were so bright that they looked so sharp that those who saw him were frightened.

Mo Qin looked at the fifth prince like this and said with some worry: "Your Highness..."

But Cui Qiu's tone was full of resentment: "Mo Qin, how long do you think I have to live with being bullied like a dog?"

Mo Qin was heartbroken, but he still had to persuade: "Your Highness, when you enter the palace this time, you can only succeed if you endure the humiliation and bear the burden. Don't ruin the big thing just because of your anger. When the time comes, not only Concubine Shu and Qiu There is no hope for our family to be rehabilitated, and even your own life will be in danger."

The fierceness and unwillingness accumulated in Cui Qiu's eyes burst out at this moment. He punched the mahogany lacquer table next to him with a punch, causing a deep mark to crack in the solid tabletop.

At this moment, the young man took off the mature and tolerant coat he wore in the past, and his eyes were filled with tears of unwillingness. He shouted in humiliation: "Why, why should I be treated like an ant by them? I can be tortured if they want, and killed if they want." Kill! I am also His Majesty’s son, and I am also a royal heir! Do you know what those two bitches Cui Que and Cui Yuannan said about me?! They said I was a bastard and that my mother-in-law was an adulterer. Even if he dies, this is the fate the bastard deserves! Not only did he beat me to death, he also insulted my mother and concubine wantonly, how could I bear it! How could I bear it!"

Recalling the most humiliating experience in his life that had just happened, the fierce hatred and humiliating struggle in Feng Yan's eyes were like two storms fiercely confronting each other.

Lines of hot tears flowed from the red eyes.His spirit was on the verge of collapse, and he needed to vent and someone to encourage him to persevere.

Mo Qin is this person.

He looked at the child he had taken care of for five years.

They helped each other out of the abyss-like palace, but they didn't expect that they would arrive at a more terrifying cannibal hell immediately afterwards.Because of the tragic death of his mother and concubine and the changes in his mother's family, Cui Qiu grew up almost overnight.

But he is only a 12-year-old boy after all.

The little eunuch stretched out his hand and took the hysterical young man in rich clothes into his arms.Although his figure is thin and thin, he can always bring enough warmth and comfort to the other party.

While patting Cui Qiu's back gently, he said gently and cherishedly: "Your Highness, it's okay. I'm here, I've always been here. I will always support you until I see you reach the top. No matter what happens, I will Face it with you...Your Highness, it's okay...it's okay..."

Cui Qiu must behave calmly and maturely in front of his staff and subordinates, even in front of his cousin who is related to him by blood.Because he is their supportive king, he must always show his strongest side in front of his subordinates.

However, when he faced the little eunuch who had accompanied him through the hard times and protected him from wind and rain, he no longer had to pretend to be strong.Because Mo Qin is not his slave, not his subordinate, but an elder brother.

Mo Qin's gentle words were like the spring breeze in March, blowing over the young man's scarred heart, and instantly burst into tears.

Cui Qiu threw herself into Mo Qin's arms and cried like a baby.

Cui Qiu is not without his own pride. He comes from the royal family, is the son of Concubine Shu, and is from General Qiu's mansion.He was born with royal arrogance and military self-esteem.

However, fate drove this noble man of heaven into the abyss.

The mother-in-law was framed by others due to jealousy, and he also became a "bastard" overnight.The first two years in the palace were really difficult.But fortunately, Mo Qin was with him and took care of him. This little brother who was five years older than him kept reminding and admonishing him, letting him firmly believe that his mother and concubine were innocent.

Later, with Mo Qin's help, he contacted Qiu Si outside the palace.His life in the palace also greatly improved.

However, even if it is an evil servant in the palace who bullies others, there is a limit.At most, he would just deny him food and deduct charcoal fire, and call him a "fatherless bastard" when he was in a bad mood.

It wasn't until he returned to the palace and saw the unscrupulous methods of Cui Que and Chao Guifei that he understood what "power" really meant.

It means that you can confuse right and wrong, ignore laws and regulations, and even the son of the emperor can punish you as you say.

Although Cui Qiu had been mentally prepared before returning to the palace, he knew that his return to the palace would inevitably involve humiliation at the hands of others, but he did not expect that it would reach such a heinous and intolerable level.

That day, the 12-year-old young prince knelt on the palace road with all his clothes disheveled, without even the most basic dignity.The whispers and mocking jokes of the people around him echoed in his ears, and he stood motionless like a stone sculpture in the imperial city's skylight.

At that moment, he had no doubt that as long as the imperial concubine and the third prince inside said a word, the people in Chaolu Palace could really kill him, the prince.

Although he was released in less than two hours, the incident still left an indelible shadow on him.

He could bear this humiliation.

But this time, in broad daylight, as the fifth prince and son of the emperor, he was actually beaten by a group of people.Finally, the man in the center who had the same blood as him raised his hand respectfully and gave the order for him to die.

He can't be afraid.

He can endure the pain of having his dignity trampled on and his body tortured.But this is all based on the fact that he can live to avenge his mother-in-law and the Qiu family.

However, no matter how many arrangements he and his cousin made in the dark, they could not be brought to light.

Today he was almost killed in public!This gave Cui Qiu a deep fear in his heart.

He is afraid of death, afraid of failure, and afraid that so many years of hard work and arrangements will be ruined, just because of a variable like Cui Que who looks like a madman.

This also made Cui Qiu completely understand a truth, and the hatred in his heart was twisted and boiling - if he wanted to avenge his mother and concubine, his power and status must surpass all of them and become the strongest power!

After calming down for a moment, Cui Qiu's mood gradually calmed down.

He raised his head, the tears on his face had dried up, his eyes were deep and peaceful, like the calm before the storm, but also resolute and determined, like the aloof and aloof wolf king.

He looked at Mo Qin, but his first sentence was: "Little Mozi, it's the prince's help this time, right? Can you contact him for me?"

Mo Qin was obviously startled after hearing his words, and he couldn't help but think of the conditions put forward by the prince when he agreed to help the fifth prince.

His face immediately turned red and he said calmly: "His Royal Highness... he should be here soon..."

Cui Qiu didn't notice anything strange about him, and nodded with a deep look.

"Whether the prince really wants to help me or to force me to submit, or to suppress the party for personal gain, we have no choice. Now we can only survive in the palace by relying on him... At least, I You have to live..." These words seemed to be said to Mo Qin, but they also seemed to be just his own murmurings.

Then, he made up his mind and said to Mo Qin: "Go and call Mr. Xia." Mo Qin felt a chill in his heart - it seemed that Cui Qiu was really planning to surrender to the prince.

Mo Qin hesitated.

After all, he still didn't tell what the prince wanted from him.After all, even he himself still couldn't believe that His Highness the Crown Prince, who was always famous for his abstinence and coldness, would actually make such a request to a eunuch.

Maybe, that was just a joke the prince made on a whim?Mo Qin thought with luck.

So, he nodded and quickly went out to deliver the letter.

Two hours later, as Mo Qin said, the sedan chair from the East Palace arrived at Lingxi Hall.

Cui Qiu and all the palace attendants from Lingxi Palace were waiting at the entrance of the palace in advance.

When the prince stepped off the sedan chair holding the eunuch's hand, Cui Qiu personally stepped forward to greet him. His voice was cold and calm, neither humble nor overbearing, not at all like the sincerity and fear in front of others:

"My dear brother, I respectfully welcome His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Mo Qin knelt behind Cui Qiu, his head lowered.

The knee he had knocked on the gravel path of the Royal Garden a few hours ago was now kneeling on the hard floor tiles. The sour and severe pain almost occupied all his senses, making him moan incessantly.

When he was unhappy, he would seek explanation from the culprit: "System! If you dare to do this to me again in the next world, where you kneel down to others every day and act as a slave, believe it or not, I will make you unable to be a waste 1.0. You will have to go back to the factory and start over again." Make it for you!"

Listening to the host's gritted teeth threats, the system knew that he was not joking.

So he replied with a dignified attitude: "Okay, okay, I promise, in the next world, I will give you a job as a young man with clothes to stretch out my hands and food to open my mouth, and I will never harm you!"

Just when Mo Qin was threatening the system, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the silver embroidered hem of a black robe, and beneath it was a pair of familiar jade boots.

He couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly in confusion, only to see a jade hand reaching down, and said in an indifferent voice with a hint of tenderness: "I've been kneeling for so long, don't your knees hurt? Get up."

A man with a handsome face and a slight smile looked like an immortal coming to the world. He lowered his eyes and put his hand in front of him, trying to help him stand up.

Mo Qin's heartbeat suddenly picked up at a speed of [-] yards per hour.

It was not because of the sudden glance of the other party's unparalleled appearance that the prince's heart was moved, but because the prince's behavior in public was not only against etiquette, but also made the presence of Mo Qin, a eunuch, particularly eye-catching.

Sure enough, Cui Qiudu was still half-kneeling on the ground, making a polite gesture of welcome.Instead of helping his own brother, the prince paid attention to a eunuch. The downcast faces of the surrounding palace officials all showed doubts.

Mo Qin could feel that Cui Qiu's inquiring look had fallen on him, but the prince had to give him face.

He had no choice but to get up from the ground in fear, not daring to actually hold Cui Yuzhen's hand.He stood with his head bowed on the ground like a wooden stake.

Qie Yong said: "I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for your concern..."

Cui Qiu spoke at the right time: "Your Highness, my brother, can I invite you to come into the palace and have a talk?"

The prince's dignified face turned to him and he nodded lightly.At Cui Qiu's respectful invitation, he walked towards the inner hall, but did not speak to Mo Qindo again.

The palace people followed the master's pace one after another. Mo Qin paused and waited until everyone had finished walking before taking steps to follow.

Qiu Si stood on the steps and cast a distant look at him, full of suspicion and cold inquiry.

When Mo Qin reached the steps, he said in a condescending and indifferent tone: "The Fifth Highness is discussing with His Highness the Crown Prince, so you don't have to go in and wait, Eunuch Mo."

Mo Qin slightly raised his head and looked at him, his face remained calm but his heart was agitated.

Finally, he nodded.He said: "His Royal Highness's favorite Chaotian Cui is placed in the first drawer of the tea cabinet in the palace. Remember to use warm water when making it, not too hot."

After saying that, he bowed his head and went around to the back of the kitchen to prepare meals for the fifth prince.His steps were hobbled by the pain in his knees, but his back remained firm.
