Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

"This..." Lu Anyuan paused, not knowing how to refute.

"Hahahaha, I'm just kidding. Why did you talk to that eunuch for so long just now? Is there anything else?"

"Oh, I just asked about the wills of the other two families. Father also gave rewards to Fourth Brother, rewarding him with a guard team, and some land outside the capital. He also asked Uncle to completely fill up the secret passage to eliminate future troubles."

"Oh? So the Emperor has no doubt that the Fourth Prince was involved in the Second Prince's affairs?"

"Yes, this is also for everyone to see. Father chose to believe Fourth Brother this time." Although he was not awake at all and did not have time to say a word in front of his father, his father was so anxious to reward him this time, probably because something shameful happened in the royal family and he had to protect it quickly.

"I'm not surprised by the backfill secret. Keeping this thing will only cause trouble, so that others won't have any ideas. But why is there only grace but no punishment? Why haven't the punishments for the others been announced?"

"There's no rush. Father must wait until everything is investigated before making a decision. I'm afraid it will take another month or two. Anyway, the culprit is dead, so it doesn't matter when these accomplices are killed. Oh, and there's a piece of good news. Father has graciously granted Shen Yue a pardon and has invited him back to the Imperial College to serve as a student and teach everyone!"

"Imperial College? Does this count as an approval..." Shen Yue's talent is at the level of a prime minister, but this time the emperor not only does not let him hold power as an official, but directly lets him teach. Shen Yue must be sad.

"I know what you are thinking. Shen Yue was demoted because he contradicted his father and said bad things about his second brother. Now that his second brother is plotting treason, his crime does not count.

You may think he can get a higher position, but it is not appropriate. Shen Yue is too stubborn and arrogant, and is not suitable for being an official in the capital. If he goes to the Imperial College, he will be admired by scholars all over the world. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

Tsk! It’s because the emperor is petty!

"I don't think the emperor would want all his students to be carved out of Shen Yue's template, right?"

"Hahahahahahaha!" Lu Anyuan laughed out loud and even thought about the scene in his mind. The whole court was "Shen Yue" against his father, the emperor? He must be so angry that he would vomit blood on the spot.

Lu Anyuan was given the title of prince, so Xu Yixing could only fulfill his promise yesterday and let him do whatever he wanted. Anyway, Mr. Yao's medicine was successfully developed, and he finally didn't have to live a widow's life like before.

After the chaos in the capital, those who participated in or were on good terms with the second prince are now in a state of panic. The emperor has not issued an edict, which means that this matter will never end and will have to be investigated and settled continuously until the emperor is satisfied.

The Seventh Prince's Mansion was indeed magnificent. Not long after the Emperor bestowed the title, he also followed his second brother's example and held a formal banquet at home. The huge plaque of "Prince Xiaoyi's Mansion" replaced the plaque of the Seventh Prince's Mansion, which was full of honor and dignity.

Unlike the Second Prince, Lu Anyuan's banquet was not intended to humiliate anyone, so naturally there was no show-off or bullying. As the host, Xu Yixing's behavior was seen and remembered by the wives of the officials. Who said that the Second Miss of the Xu family was weak and incompetent and was bullied by the mistress?

Now it seems that they were all rumors!

Old Man Xu was very drunk. When Xu Yixing helped him away to rest, he still took her aside and gave her some advice and praises. The words he used were so corny that even Xu Yixing herself found them corny.

The identities of Ying Jiu and Ying Wu were also exposed. The three shadows that flew up under the outer palace that day left a deep impression on the people under the city. Uncle Bai recognized one of them, saying that Ying Wu was the guard given by their Bai family to the seventh prince's wife. As for Ying Jiu, he could only be said to be Lu Anyuan's shadow guard.

Xu Yixing just didn't expect that his father was not surprised at all about Uncle Bai "giving" him a shadow guard, and he didn't even ask a question. It was as if this was natural, as if giving such a high-level guard to a junior who had no blood relationship with him was a trivial matter.

But it’s a good thing I didn’t ask, otherwise if my dad had dug deeper, I don’t know how much he would have found out.

The Fourth Prince had been in a coma for several days in the mansion, and finally woke up under the skillful hands of Mr. Yao. However, he did not rush to ask who was in front of him, but just grabbed the robe of Mr. Yao who was giving him acupuncture and said: "I want to see the Seventh Prince, the Second Prince is not hidden in my house by me!"

"Fourth brother wants to see me?" Lu Anyuan was still studying the Nine Rings with Xu Yixing at this time, and he hated someone for disturbing him at this time.

Xu Yixing breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God, I don’t like playing this kind of thing. If Lu Anyuan hadn’t insisted on dragging me along, I would have had to pretend that I really liked it.

"Ah Da, is this the letter from Mr. Yao?"

"Yes, ma'am. The fourth prince asked to see our prince as soon as he woke up." A Da also saw the brass nine-ring chain in the hands of the two men. Our prince could play with this thing when he was five years old. It seems that he is trying to entertain ma'am today.

Xu Yixing put down the toy and asked seriously, "This is strange. He just woke up from a coma and didn't ask about the rebellion or who Mr. Yao was. He just went straight to you?"

"I've said before that Fourth Brother is a smart man. When he found out that he was still alive, it definitely wasn't Second Brother who wanted to save him. It could only be me." Lu Anyuan clapped his hands. He had been having an exceptionally pleasant time these past few days. He looked forward to the nightfall every day. It was still early now, so he could meet Fourth Brother.

"I'll go with you. We have to settle the matter of Ying Er."

Lu Anyuan did not object. He took Yixing's hand and got in the car to go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Before entering the gate, I saw a group of unfamiliar guards stationed at the door. These must be the guards awarded by the emperor to the fourth prince.

"Hey, you said the emperor gave him guards. Was it to protect his safety, or was it to insinuate that he didn't guard his own gate well?"

"All of them." Lu Anyuan smiled with relief. Now Yixing could guess his father's thoughts. It would be much easier for them to communicate in the future. It was great. Maybe in the future, when he ascended to the throne, they could hold hands and talk at night, speaking some secret language that only the two of them could understand.

Just thinking about it, a smile unconsciously crept into his eyes, but when he arrived outside his fourth brother's palace, he quickly put that thought away and strode in.

"Fourth brother, how do you feel? Are you all right?"

The fourth prince staggered to his feet and leaned against the cushions, his eyes full of anxiety, eager to clarify himself. But when he turned his head, he saw that the seventh prince's wife was also following behind his seventh brother, so he stopped talking for a moment and questioned Lu Anyuan with his eyes.
