Parents are busy farming

The masters were all worried and solemn, and the maids naturally dared not utter a word, for fear of saying or doing something wrong and upsetting their masters.

Fortunately, now the matter has finally come to a conclusion and the dust has settled. Everyone's anxious hearts have finally settled down a little, and the maids have also returned to their former lively appearance.

However, surprisingly, after taking the health-preserving pill, Old Master Hong did not return to the front yard where he lived as usual. Instead, he stayed and quietly accompanied Old Lady Hong, spending this quiet night together.

Of course, Old Master Hong was always concerned about what happened in the palace, especially the emperor's condition.

However, after a whole day of tossing and thinking, it was now late at night and everyone was asleep. Even though I was anxious, I had to put these things aside until tomorrow.

After all, he had taken a short rest during the day. Although he did not fall asleep completely, at least his brain was somewhat relaxed and he was able to think normally.

The next morning, before daybreak, Old Master Hong had already woken up.

He stood up and walked straight towards his familiar study without any delay.

Although he was eager to know the latest news about the palace and the emperor, he knew that anyone would need to sleep a little longer to regain their energy after not having a good rest for two consecutive days.

Therefore, he did not rush to urge his two sons, but chose to wait quietly in the study.

Time passed quietly, and by the time Master Hong Da and Master Hong Er woke up, the sun had already risen high.

The two of them quickly washed up, had a simple breakfast, and went to the study in the front yard together.

When they stepped into the study, they saw Old Master Hong having a pleasant conversation with Wang Chuanshen.

Seeing the two adults arriving, Wang Chuanshen hurriedly stood up and greeted them respectfully.

After everyone sat down one by one, Old Master Hong couldn't wait to ask, "Tell me in detail what the situation is in the palace. The more specific the better! In addition, what is the emperor's attitude towards this matter now? Oh, by the way, I wonder if you have seen Zifen?"

Master Hong's face was extremely heavy. He slowly said, "I think everyone here should already know that this incident was actually planned and implemented by the eldest son of the Second Prince. However, perhaps what everyone does not know is that the power behind this can be traced back to the powerful Duke of Protectorate. This matter has always been a taboo in the heart of the current emperor!"

Old Master Hong nodded, and Master Hong continued, "Back then, when Zifen was in charge of investigating many matters related to the hateful Japanese pirates, he repeatedly discovered clues left by the Protector of the Country. Although the Protector of the Country has been beheaded, because he was in a high position and had a large number of troops under his command, the people he secretly trained in private naturally became the biggest concern of the emperor. Now that such a group of people suddenly appeared, how can the emperor not be furious?"

When Wang Chuanshen heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He thought to himself that he never expected the situation here to be so complicated.

No wonder Zifen was injured, it turned out that the Duke of Protectorate’s men were involved!

At this moment, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on the face of Old Master Hong, who was standing by, and he could not wait to ask, "Based on this situation, the second prince's eldest son must have met with an unexpected accident and ended up in a tragic end. But then again, this guy is so ambitious, so what is the second prince's current situation? I don't believe that the second prince is completely unaware of the inside story."

At this moment, the second master Hong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly took over the conversation and said, "Indeed, this man is young, but he has great ambitions. He actually forced the current emperor to abdicate the throne to him! From beginning to end, he didn't mention a single word about the second prince."

This was something no one had expected.

After a brief pause, he continued, "After he arrogantly stepped into the magnificent palace, he immediately raised his butcher knife against the officials who supported the other princes. The scene was extremely bloody and horrible! There were also many relatives of the other princes, who were all well-known people in the court and whom the emperor could not easily touch."

Speaking of this, he thought back to the feeling he had at that time, which was a combination of fear and shock.

Old Master Hong asked, "What happened next? Didn't he do anything to you?"

Master Hong Er said: "Fortunately, we, the ministers who are loyal to the royal family, were lucky enough not to suffer too many severe attacks. But who could have thought? At the last moment, this crazy man actually took His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the rest of us as hostages to threaten His Majesty to surrender. Oh my, it was really dangerous at that time! I almost lost my life! Even now when I think about it, I am still very scared. Even my voice can't help but tremble a little..."

Seeing the worry on Old Master Hong's face, Master Hong was afraid that the old man was too worried, so he quickly rushed to add: "Fortunately, at the critical moment, the general led a large number of tiger soldiers to the scene. Not only did they successfully rescue the Crown Prince from danger, but they also wiped out all of that man's troops in one fell swoop. In my opinion, perhaps it was precisely because he wanted to ensure that the Second Prince was safe that the guy chose to draw his sword and commit suicide out of desperation."

After hearing this, Old Master Hong frowned, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "Your Majesty's mind is not so easy to guess. As long as it involves foreign enemies that may endanger the safety of the country, His Majesty would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. So, the Second Prince is probably in danger this time."

Master Hong said with emotion: "That's right! Thinking back to that time, the scene was really thrilling. At that time, the emperor was furious, and in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, he directly announced that the second prince would be demoted to a commoner. Once the news came out, the whole court was shocked. In my opinion, the imperial edict should have been issued today. But I didn't expect that the emperor would let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be responsible for handling the follow-up matters of this matter. In this case, the other princes will not be able to sit still, and they will definitely go to the Crown Prince to cry about their grievances."
