Holding an ordinary script, pretending to be a god in various worlds

In Changchun Palace.

Yan Cairen was dressed simply, and her once well-maintained face now had two deep nasolabial lines on it.

He said to his son, "The situation is urgent. Those brothers who were suppressed by you in the past are trying to seize the position of crown prince. What do you think we should do?"

The second prince said coldly, "What am I afraid of? You never fought for me before, so why would you fight for me now? You are just a bunch of defeated generals."

He had the confidence to say this, to be named the crown prince, the Second Prince was both talented in civil and military affairs, and was an excellent choice in terms of knowing people and managing affairs. The other princes were far inferior to him!

If it weren't for the emperor's stroke of genius, there would have been only two outcomes for the second prince.

First, under the emperor's day-to-day torture and suspicion, he could not help but take the risk of raising an army to force the emperor to abdicate, but there was a high probability of failure.

Second, he endured all kinds of difficulties, dealt with his brothers one by one, and successfully ascended the throne after the emperor's death.

It will never be abolished for such a trivial reason.

Seeing his son recover from the collapse of being abandoned, Yan Cairen felt happy and excited, thinking that this was his own son, a man of great talent and ambition, who was unwilling to be inferior to anyone else.

What good was it if Empress Zhangde had been favored by the emperor when she was alive? She only gave birth to a little girl who was of no use to her.

After calming down a little, Yan Cairen patted her son's hand and looked at him intently:

"This alone is not enough, my son needs some chips"

The second prince was puzzled. "There are many ministers in the court who are related to me, but they are cunning and will not surrender until they see the rabbit. They will definitely not join my sect easily."

"I'm not referring to the court officials." Yan Cairen smiled and shook her head, saying in a gentle tone:

"Your Majesty is suspicious. How could I let you do something as taboo as making friends with ministers?"

Even when the second prince was the crown prince, they did not choose to make friends with the court officials under the legitimate rights and interests, but simply used the families of the second prince's wives, concubines, teachers, friends, and companions to gain power.

"What does the mother refer to?"

"Isn't Princess Luoyang, the most proud princess in the palace, the best bargaining chip?"

The second prince was startled, then gnashed his teeth and said, "She has caused us to fall into this state. Does mother still hope that our enemies will help us?"

The Second Prince had some vague knowledge of the past between Empress Zhangde and Concubine Yan.

But as a prince, he has always focused on the major issues of the court and thinks he does not need to care about the trivial matters of love in the harem.

When Princess Luoyang appeared, the second prince fell into despair. He had secretly sworn that one day when he gained power, he would move Empress Zhangde's tomb and torture Princess Luoyang to death!

Seeing her son's anxiety, Yan Cairen smiled and explained, "Man makes things happen, God makes things happen. Luoyang doesn't want to help us, so is there nothing we can do?"

"Should we give her money too?" The second prince looked disgusted. He disdained the way other brothers fawned over a princess.

"Of course not." Unexpectedly, Yan Cairen shook his head and said bitterly:

"Luoyang is greedy and insatiable. Giving money is useless. In addition, we must use more ruthless means to make her stand on our side completely."

"Once a woman is married, no matter how willful and domineering she was in the past, she will always be willing to consider her husband's family."

Concubine Yan's words were so revealing that the Second Prince reacted and quickly asked, "Mother, are you going to marry Luoyang to Cousin Yan?"

"Yes, Xun'er is only one year younger than you. He is of the right age, noble family, and good character. I originally wanted Jingning to marry him, but now Luoyang has to give him the chance."

Yan Cairen was a little reluctant to leave.

However, the only person that the Duke of Yan's Mansion could allow the princess to marry was Yan Xun. What's more interesting was that Yan Xun had a connection with Luoyang among the common people.

The second prince had to admit that this was a good idea, and comforted his mother:

"Don't worry, when I become capable, I will never let my cousin suffer any injustice."

At worst, I can just give Luoyang a cup of poisoned wine, the second prince thought.

The decision was made quickly. They were self-aware and knew that Ling Xiao was not stupid enough to marry the enemy's mother's family. In addition, time was pressing, so they had to use some shameful means.

………………

August 15th, Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

All officials and relatives took their seats. On this auspicious day, everyone had a smile on their face. Some recited ancient poems about the moon, while others prepared paper and ground ink to write Mid-Autumn poems on the spot.

The emperor was rarely interested in watching this scene and promised that anyone who could come up with a good line would be rewarded.

The atmosphere immediately became more heated.

The concubines, princesses, female members of the royal family, and noble ladies in the court held their own banquet, set up an incense table, worshipped the moon, and prayed for the moon goddess's favor, a happy marriage, and beautiful appearance.

After worshiping the moon, people gather or disperse according to their own ideas. Some gather together to talk and gossip, some talented women gather together to write poems, and some enjoy the scenery. Anyway, everyone has their own place to go.

Ling Xiao sat at the first seat, supporting his chin and taking a bite of food from time to time, admiring the unique beauties laughing and playing.

"It's so peaceful!" The system sighed and told Ling Xiao that when the host he followed in the past participated in such palace banquets, something was bound to happen.

Either someone is jealous and frames the host, or the host wants to make a splash at the palace banquet and attract the attention of the emperor, the crown prince, the princes, the prime minister...

Ling Xiao is too cruel now, it would be a blessing if she doesn't frame and slap others in the face.

Ling Xiao took a bite of the fried eel shreds and said while biting the chopsticks:

"Something is bound to happen at the palace banquet. Is this the rule of heaven and earth, you crow-mouthed bastard?"

Before he finished speaking, the system was horrified to see that the host's face was flushed, and his eyes were watery and half-open.

"Host, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling hot and dizzy, or having an urge?"

While asking, he searched for things in the system space, preparing to save the host from danger.

He was very familiar with this situation. He was definitely drugged, and it was most likely an aphrodisiac.

Ling Xiao hid his face in his arms, enjoying the feeling of losing control of his body, and said to the system in his mind, "I'm fine, a mere aphrodisiac can't do anything to me."

The system stopped, its eyes dead, oh, how could he forget that the current host is not a delicate beauty, she has plenty of strength.

"Is the host trying to fish for bait?"

"Hmm" Ling Xiao said lazily with a long tone and full of spring.

"They are just plotting against me to have physical contact with someone, and then trying to pull me, a golden commodity, into their own camp. How can I not repay them for daring to plot against me like this?"

She could feel that the medicine was not very strong, it just aroused the woman's sexual desire and made her feel dizzy. It must be a good medicine.

At the female banquet, in full view of everyone, Princess Luoyang seemed to be unable to hold her liquor and was supported by the palace servants behind her as she staggered out for some fresh air.

Not long after she went out, Ling Xiao broke free from the palace maid who had intentionally or unintentionally led her to the place, and under her astonished look, she was knocked unconscious with a blow and kicked into the lush rose bushes on the roadside.

Princess Luoyang continued to stumble and move forward in an extremely fragile manner.

While silently reciting the numbers, Ling Xiao felt someone coming from behind him. He groaned and pressed down on the person tightly, "accidentally" hitting the person's soft flesh with his elbow.
