That night, not only the people in the Yangxin Palace couldn't sleep, but all the civil and military officials who attended court during the day also suffered from insomnia.

For example, in the Fan Mansion, it was almost midnight, and all the other rooms in the mansion were dark, only Fan Puchang's study was still lit.

"Father, what do you think about this matter?" the second son Fan Weidong asked in a low voice.

"What do you think? Does it matter what you think? I just want to see what the court will look like tomorrow. Although I'm not sure who will stand up and who will second the proposal, one thing is certain, tomorrow's morning court will definitely be

As a father, I really want to see which bastards will stand up.

At first, they said that the Duke and his wife helped His Majesty in that way because they had other intentions, and their ultimate goal was to replace His Majesty and find a suitable opportunity to sit on the throne. But why didn't they think about what the couple had done in the past few years?

They even stopped attending court and tried to make money to fill the national treasury. They also spread medical skills and the doctors they trained went to various parts of Yan State to treat illnesses and prevent epidemics.

Even so, you still say that he and his wife have some ulterior motives? You must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. "Fan Puchang became more and more excited as he spoke, and he slammed the tea and salt in his hand onto the desk as he became more and more angry.

"Father, the situation may not be that serious, please don't get angry." The third son Fan Weiqi advised worriedly.

"Father, no matter what, the officials are not all stupid. If some people don't stand up to criticize Duke Xun and his wife, there will naturally be others who will stand up to defend them. Anyway, our Fan family stands on the side of the Duke, and coupled with His Majesty's usual attitude towards the Duke, we will not let them succeed this time either.

Three years ago, that kind of people failed, but now that our Majesty is even more powerful, they are even more helpless. "Fan Weiting also spoke to comfort him.

After hearing what his eldest son said, Fan Puchang sighed again: "As a father, I naturally understand this truth. This is not what I am worried about."

The three brothers looked at each other in confusion at their father's words.

Since we know that His Majesty can still deter those restless and trouble-making people, why is my father still worried?

Looking at the expressions of his three sons, Fan Puchang said, "What I am worried about is that if something like that really happens this time, I am afraid that the Duke and his wife will not be able to stay."

"What? Father, that's impossible. Unless they themselves don't want to stay, who has the ability to drive them away?" Fan Weiqi said in surprise.

Fan Puchang looked at his other two sons. These two were calmer than the third son and judging by their expressions, they must have understood what he meant.

"Third brother, what father means is that they don't want to stay in the capital anymore." Fan Weidong said to his younger brother who was also very smart but still a little slow in reacting to certain things.

Fan Weiqi looked at his father and elder brother with some disbelief, still incredulous: "How could it be possible? That couple are such powerful people, how could they admit defeat?"

The third son's reaction not only did not make Fan Puchang unhappy, but he shook his head and laughed without a condom.

"Third brother, he and his wife are leaving not because they are admitting defeat, nor because they are afraid. They just don't want Your Majesty to be caught in the middle." Fan Weidong said with emotion.

"Is that so? Then they really did bite." Fan Weiqi sighed in shame and couldn't continue.

No matter what his father said before about how the couple was doing good for Brother Hui, he was actually questioning it in his heart. How could they be so selfless without any blood relationship?

Moreover, because of his daughter Ling'er's matter, he actually had some complaints against the couple. He also felt that some of his daughter's words made sense, for example, the current emperor, his nephew, was closer to the couple than his grandfather's side.

However, because of the attitude of his father and elder brother towards the couple, he never dared to say it out loud, and even his first wife in Hangzhou did not dare to tell her a word. He himself was born to a concubine, so he was very careful and cautious since he was a child.

However, he had seen the changes in Yan State over the past three years, and his opinion of the Duke and his wife had long since changed. When his daughter made a mistake again and was severely punished by her father, he blamed himself for not teaching her well and was afraid. If the whole Fan family was implicated because of his daughter's mistake, then even his death would be useless.

"Father, what should we do?" Fan Weiting looked at his father and asked.

We have to do something. Even if we can't change anything, at least our attitude is there. Let that couple go without feeling disappointed.

Fan Puchang shook his head. "What I can do for that couple is not important now. What is important is our brother Hui. I am really worried about him."

After talking for a long time, he still didn't say what he was worried about. But the three brothers of the Fan family were sure that their father was definitely not worried that Brother Hui would leave the couple and he would not be able to continue to be the emperor.

According to Brother Hui's feelings towards the couple, aren't the people who are most worried about the ministers who might jump out to stir up trouble?

In the capital city, even in the mansion with the lights turned off, I still couldn't sleep.

Some ministers were thinking that what happened in the Council Hall today could not be treated as if it had not happened. This, this matter was too serious and too scary if one thought about it more deeply!

Some ministers were thinking, finally there is a wise ruler in power, he will never tolerate anything that is unfavorable to him, for the sake of the country's safety, should he risk his life to give advice?

More ministers were worried. The current situation in the court was so good. They must not cause trouble just because of what happened during the day! Otherwise, the hard-earned peace and prosperity in the country would be in jeopardy.

Some people are wondering if someone will come forward to give advice tomorrow? If so, who will it be? Will it succeed? If it fails, how will His Majesty deal with it?

The key figure who caused so many people to suffer from insomnia, Brother Yuan, had no idea how big a disaster he had heard of. He dreamed of some happy thing in his sleep and even giggled out loud.

In the darkness, his younger brother's laughter stimulated Brother Hui, who was already unable to sleep.

"Brother, I envy you so much. You are carefree and can always be with mother and father." Brother Hui whispered to himself, but he couldn't help but burst into tears.

He knew that even if no one stepped forward to make trouble this time, his mother and the others would still leave him and stay away from the capital.

He also knew that this time, no matter what he did, he could not keep his parents around.

The reason they left was for their own good, and he would not try to keep them this time because he could not be too selfish.

Father and mother have done enough for him. "Brother, I envy you so much. You are carefree and can always be with mother and father." Brother Hui whispered to himself, but he couldn't hold back his tears.

He knew that even if no one stepped forward to make trouble this time, his mother and the others would still leave him and stay away from the capital.

He also knew that this time, no matter what he did, he could not keep his parents around.

The reason they left was for their own good, and he would not try to keep them this time because he could not be too selfish.

What his father and mother have done for him is enough.

Don’t cry, be strong. The more Hui told himself this, the more his tears flowed like a dam bursting, and he couldn’t stop them at all…
