The East Palace has always been shrouded in dark clouds during this period of time.

In the past two days, the atmosphere has become extremely bad.

Except for those who had to serve the prince, the rest of the attendants hid in their rooms, not daring to go out for fear of annoying the prince and ending up with their bodies intact.

Therefore, there are few people in the East Palace. The back garden, which was usually the busiest, is now so quiet that you can hear the sound of ice melting on the lake.

The prince's inner study room was already in a mess.

Countless objects have been broken in the past two days, and no one dares to come forward to clean them up.

Dozens of subordinate officials in the mansion were kneeling neatly outside the study, each with his head shrunk like a quail, no one dared to speak.

The female relatives of the Eastern Palace were also hiding in their rooms, staying closed except for... their new favorite Herme, who was still dancing in her courtyard.

It's just that the prince no longer has the intention to appreciate it.

After lunch, a decree came from the palace announcing that the prince had entered the palace.

The people in the East Palace secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as His Majesty is willing to see the prince, everything will turn around.

After all, everyone knows His Majesty's love for the Crown Prince.

The atmosphere in the East Palace was slightly calm. Some people wanted to ask the Crown Princess for information, but were told that the Crown Princess was ill and could not see anyone.

This is not because the Crown Princess is deliberately looking for excuses to hide from people, but that she really cannot see anyone at the moment...

Today, the Crown Princess' eyes are red and swollen, her eye sockets are bloodshot, and there are countless blood marks on her palms from fingernails.

It was as if she was recovering from a serious illness, but only the people closest to her knew... She just met someone in the small garden next to the corner gate in the afternoon.

I don’t know what that person actually said.

That night, she locked herself in the palace and got extremely drunk.

Early the next morning, a decree came from the palace, and the Crown Princess Xuan came to the palace to have an audience.

The princess applied cold water to her face. The biting coldness made every pore of her body release pain.

But at the same time, it also freed her.

After the personal maid took off the veil covering her face, what caught her eye was her indifferent face.

"Empress, are you... okay?" The maid asked with some trepidation.

The Crown Princess smiled and said, "I have never felt so comfortable as I do today."

She did not bring her personal maid, but entered the palace alone.

When passing by Hermei's courtyard, I saw the Northern Xinjiang woman dancing in the courtyard.

And...it's really hard work.The Crown Princess sneered in her heart.

This was her favorite courtyard. When she was in love with the prince, she once said that she would leave this courtyard to their future daughter so that she could become the happiest girl in the world.

It was not that no one else had thought about this courtyard, but the prince was mindful of his agreement with her and never offered it to others.

She thought that no matter how many women the man admitted into the East Palace, he would always treat her as the Crown Princess differently.

But now, the prince gave this courtyard to Herme.

Ah……

Is that lowly dancing girl from Northern Xinjiang qualified to be the happiest person in the world?

She glanced over with cold eyes, but the woman dancing in the courtyard was completely unaware of it.

Wu Zi showed off her tenderness, as if all the troubles had nothing to do with her.

Yes, she is just a toy, she only needs to serve the prince on the bed.

Even if the prince can no longer be a prince in the future, he can still be a free king with His Majesty's favor, and her glory and wealth are indispensable.

His Majesty's thunderous wrath has nothing to do with her.

Someone will bear it for her.

But, why is this person himself?

……

The incident at Huangzhuang was exposed at the New Year's Meeting on the [-]th day of the first lunar month. In the past two days, Chang Jing came to Beijing and died in the streets, making the scene known to everyone.

Now this matter is almost unknown to the entire capital.

The emperor was not prepared to make any more cover-ups. In order to hear the Huangzhuang case, he suspended the court for two days.

Because the case involved the prince, the three law officers were directly restrained in the palace. No one was allowed to leave the palace until the case was settled.

Mu Rong was even more free and tired of staying in Xinghui Hall.

Mu Yi and Mu Lu were always paying attention to what was going on outside, and news was always coming from inside the palace.

Therefore, even if he and Xu Rongrong were sitting at home, they knew everything about the trials in the palace.

"Wei Chu and Chunya have already met His Majesty. The evidence of the assassination on the way to Beijing is conclusive and the Crown Prince and Chang Jing cannot deny it."

This news made Xu Rongrong breath a sigh of relief.

She had been worried about whether Chuhe and Chunya would be implicated before, but now it seems that this crisis has been passed safely.

only……

"Once this case comes out, it will be difficult for Chu He to come back."

He has already appeared in front of His Majesty. If he is found in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, it will be difficult for Mu Rong to find out his connection in the case.

Mu Rong smiled and said: "That's great. He hangs around you all day long, making me, a real husband, feel insecure."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

Fortunately, it is also an opportunity for Chu He personally.

The hand he showed in this case must have caught His Majesty's eye.

Perhaps his journey to becoming an official in this life will be faster than in his previous life.

No matter what, just don't let him meet the Fourth Prince again and be used by him again.

While Xu Rongrong was thinking secretly, news from the palace came again:

"His Majesty has verified the assassination of the Chang clan members in the street. This case was committed by the Chang family members themselves. The purpose is to make this case unconfirmed."

Xu Rongrong was startled when she heard this. She looked at Mu Rong: "You didn't arrange that man's death. Why did the Chang family get involved again?"

Mu Rong smiled and said: "I asked Mu Wu to leave clues and create the illusion that the Chang family killed people and silenced them. Only in this way can the prince and Chang Jing have a mouth but can't explain..."

"I see." Xu Rongrong smiled and shook her head, "Master Hou fell into this series of tricks. Please don't use it on me in the future."

"Don't worry Rong Rong, even if I use it, you won't find out."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

Chang Jing's fate was decided, and news from the palace soon came back: "The decree has been issued, and Chang Jing is sentenced to execution."

"It's quite fast." Mu Rong disagreed.

"Among them, the Crown Princess is adding fuel to the fire." Mu Lu lowered his voice.

As he spoke, he really admired his Marquis for his accurate calculations.

"The Crown Princess has finally seen the situation clearly. Chang Jing's death has been decided, and the Crown Prince's position is not guaranteed. The only people the Crown Princess can rely on in the future are the Lu family. Although there are no high-ranking officials in the family, the Lu family has been doing business for hundreds of years. , and it is not comparable to other clans. She avenged Lu Zhixian, and the Lu family would reciprocate and keep her worry-free for the rest of her life."

"That's exactly the truth." Mu Rong smiled and nodded.

The Crown Princess was jealous and resentful in her previous life, and plotted against Rong Rong, so he was going to vent his anger on her behalf.

However, if it weren't for the Crown Princess's calculations, it would be difficult for him to have the bond with Rong Rong for these two lives. Based on this alone, he would also pull the Crown Princess out of the quagmire of the East Palace. As for what kind of life he can live in the future, That is her own creation.
