Except for me, all my enemies have been reborn.

Chapter 24 Paving the Way for the Crown Prince

Before daybreak, Shang Shixu got on his carriage and went to court.

The rocking of the carriage was so soporific that I was about to fall asleep.

But I heard someone calling me, I opened my eyes with difficulty and drew open the curtains.

Then he saw Fang Chenglan, the big fool, calling him excitedly in his carriage.

"Hey, Shixu, what a coincidence, you are also going to court, we are really destined to meet."

Shang Shixu was speechless. She had never seen such a shameless person.

"Unfortunately, we are not destined to be together. Don't bother me."

Shang Shixu closed the curtains, not wanting to argue with this fool, and fell asleep again.

Then I was woken up again, and who was it this time?

"Sir Shang, Huai Xu learned how to make osmanthus cake for you. Would you like to try it?"

Here comes another one. This time, Shang Shixu doesn't even want to get up and draw the curtains. So he just ignores it.

But Jiang Huaixu did not intend to give up and still insisted on calling Shang Shixu.

"Sir Shang, this is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made this morning.

I have specially invited a master from the north of the city to teach you, please give it a try, Mr. Shang."

Shang Shixu turned over and ignored it.

"Sir Shang, I was stupid and cut my hand while making osmanthus cake."

Shang Shixu saw through Jiang Huaixu's purpose at a glance. Wasn't it just to pretend to be injured to gain sympathy?

It doesn't work on her. She didn't force Jiang Huaixu to do it. If he got hurt, it has nothing to do with her.

"Sir Shang, I don't ask for anything, I just hope you can accept the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Sir Shang, please..."

Shang Shixu was about to curse back impatiently, but was interrupted by a voice.

"Minister Jiang, can't you see that Shixu doesn't want to pay attention to you?

If you know what's best for you, leave now and don't disturb me and Shixu from being alone together."

"Fang Chenglan, what do you mean by being alone together? Also,

Which eye of yours saw that Shang Shang no longer wanted to pay attention to me? You are the one who should leave."

The two of them argued more and more fiercely and were about to fight.

Shang Shixu's carriage was stuck in the middle, and the driver was trembling, afraid that he would be affected if he was not careful.

He could only think of a way to seek Shang Shixu's advice: "Sir, they seem to be about to fight. What should I do? Please give me some advice."

Shang Shixu held his forehead with his hand, what was going on?

"Hurry up, let's go first, don't worry about them."

Shang Shixu's carriage accelerated, and the two men were cursing when they found that Shang Shixu's carriage was gone.

After realizing that the carriage had left first, they decisively gave up the internal strife and chased after Shang Shixu's carriage.

After a bumpy ride, we finally arrived at the palace.

As soon as I got off the carriage, I felt three pairs of eyes staring at me from behind.

It came pretty quickly.

Shang Shixu, who was already used to it, said it didn't matter and walked into the Xuan Zheng Hall calmly.

The three people left disliked each other.

"Long live my emperor, long live long live."

"Pingshen——"

"My dear ministers, I have an important announcement today. My eldest prince Li Minglian will be returning from his fiefdom to visit me."

Princes who are granted fiefs are generally not allowed to return to the capital. The emperor's actions break the rules, and someone will definitely come out to stop him.

Shang Shixu looked around and saw no one stepped forward to stop him.

However, the officials from Concubine Wang's mother's family wanted to step forward, but they were afraid of angering the emperor, so they could only stay where they were, hesitating to move forward.

That's right. The emperor had just banished Concubine Wang to the cold palace and was disgusted with the third prince. It looked like the Wang family was about to be finished.

If they are not anxious, who will? Now they can no longer save the situation unless they perform some great deed.

Shang Shixu suddenly felt a gust of wind passing by, and when he turned around, he saw Censor Zhang rushing forward in a hurry.

Oh no, I forgot about this old man who would rather die than argue.

Censor Zhang, please don't speak nonsense and make that dog emperor angry again.

If I am demoted again, I don’t know when I can come back.

Censor Zhang stiffened his neck and spoke boldly, "Your Majesty, a prince who already has a fiefdom cannot return to the capital at will. Please think twice."

Shang Shixu sighed, it’s over, he really said that, goodbye Censor Zhang, we’ll see each other in three or five years.

"Zhang Yushi, I just miss my child. Can't I ask him to come to the capital to see me?"

The emperor tried his best to keep smiling, but Censor Zhang just wouldn't listen.

"Your Majesty, this is a rule left by our ancestors. Please think twice."

The officials from Concubine Wang’s mother’s family saw someone blocking them from the front.

He immediately ran forward, knelt behind Censor Zhang, and shouted, "Your Majesty, please think twice."

Shang Shixu saw that the emperor's face was getting more and more ugly, so he hurried forward to save the situation. The old man was very old and could not be tormented any more.

"Your Majesty, I think that since the eldest prince was unable to attend the Queen's birthday banquet, it is only right for him to make up for it now."

"Hahahahahahahahahaha, well, Lord Shang still understands me. This is exactly what I meant."

Censor Zhang glared at Shang Shixu and snorted coldly.

The emperor looked at the two people who were not getting along well and nodded with satisfaction.

"Censor Zhang, what Minister Shang said makes perfect sense. Do you still want to object?"

"Wei Chen has nothing to say."

Censor Zhang retreated, and several officials from Concubine Wang's mother's family behind him also hurriedly followed him back, but were stopped by the emperor.

"My three beloved ministers, please wait a minute. You all seem to be very dissatisfied with me."

The three men's legs went weak and they knelt down, exactly like the Third Prince did before. Are all members of the Wang family like this?

"My three beloved ministers, who do you think you are? Censor Zhang is old.

Are you too old? You don't want the eldest prince to come.

I believe he must be very concerned about the local people. From tomorrow,

You will set off to take up your posts in the local areas and become local officials."

"Your Majesty! I am guilty of my crime."

"That's enough, you guys are full of food and drink, do you want to disobey my order?"

The emperor began to suppress Concubine Wang's lineage, after all, he had to pave the way for the eldest prince.

"Well, the eldest prince is coming, and as a father, I

Naturally, we have to hold a welcoming banquet for him. Lord Jiang, I'll leave the preparation of the banquet to you."

"Wei Chen obeys your orders."

Shang Shixu looked at Jiang Huaixu with glee. He deserved it. It was not easy to prepare a welcoming banquet for the eldest prince.

If you are prepared, you will upset other factions, but if you fail to do it well, you will offend the eldest prince. You will be caught in a difficult situation.

"Oh, by the way, Prime Minister Shang, Censor Zhang, General Fang, and the Imperial Master, please all come to the welcoming banquet. I haven't had a chance to meet you all for a long time."

Before Shang Shixu had time to be happy, he was called out.

What? Why should we go too? Why, we don't want to join your eldest son's faction,

Just drag him over there by force. You have called away all the capable ministers in the court.

Aren’t the remaining bunch of idiots just following the trend and taking sides?

It’s so annoying. It would be better if there was another assassin at the welcoming banquet. It makes you, the dog emperor, so ignorant.

"When something happens, we start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we retreat."

The court finally ended, and Shang Shixu walked in front.

Behind them were those familiar things again, Jiang Huaixu was holding the osmanthus cake, Fang Chenglan was holding the fan, and Yunze was responsible for the conversation.

Shang Shixu didn't want to get involved with them, so he could only quicken his pace and leave.
