After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Emperor Chengren looked at the list and testimony on the table, his eyes filled with anger and his face turned pale.

The third brother, the prince of Dacheng, actually sold official positions and titles.

He is so disappointed!

Emperor Chengren felt a little chilled when he thought that the evidence was just brought in by the eunuch.

The prince has completely given up on this younger brother...

Emperor Chengren was exhausted, and he leaned his hands on the table, his back slightly hunched.

Eunuch Luo, who was standing by, couldn't bear the look on Emperor Chengren's face.

"His Majesty......"

"Eunuch Luo," Emperor Chengren said, "What I hate most in my life is fratricide."

Emperor Chengren was not the first crown prince appointed by the late emperor.

The crown prince was an outstanding talent and was originally the definite next emperor.

But the second prince at that time was very ambitious and had a great desire for power. He was unwilling to be just an ordinary prince, and competed with the former crown prince for the throne openly and secretly.

The former crown prince was no pushover either, and he constantly suppressed the second prince in court, with the two fighting to the death.

The previous emperor was cruel and enjoyed watching his sons fight for the throne. Whoever had the last laugh would be the winner.

But in the end, the country fell into the hands of the mediocre Emperor Chengren.

In that tragic battle for the throne, no one was the winner...

And he also lost the woman he loved most...

Thinking of the past, Emperor Chengren felt depressed and his eyes became deep.

"Pass on my decree. The Third Prince has reached the age of dancing elephants. He is ordered to leave the palace and set up his own residence after the year is up."

Eunuch Luo was shocked.

Leaving the palace voluntarily and being ordered to leave the palace by the emperor are two completely different concepts.

This time, the third prince was driven out of the palace by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, how should we explain this to Concubine Jia..."

Emperor Chengren thought of Concubine Jia's face and it overlapped with the face in his memory.

Couldn't help but shook his head.

"If she has any dissatisfaction, she can come to me."

No matter what, there must not be any more fratricide.

I hope the third brother can learn his lesson this time...

Yonghe Hall.

Xiao Yuheng looked at the imperial edict in his hand and sat dejectedly on the chair.

He thought he had hidden it well enough, but he was still found out.

The eyes that were usually warm and smiling were now filled with resentment.

Xiao Yujing, I underestimated you.

Everything that happened recently seemed to be deliberately targeting him.

Something is wrong, very wrong.

"Your Highness, why don't you go find the Imperial Concubine? If she goes to plead with the Emperor, he will definitely revoke his order and allow you to stay in the palace." Eunuch Liu advised.

Xiao Yuheng shook his head.

This time it’s different, my father is really angry.

"Tell Concubine Jia not to act rashly, and not to plead for me. I have my own ideas."

My father is furious now. Asking for mercy will only annoy him. I'll find an opportunity to make it up to him later.

"Make arrangements. I will go to Xiangshan Temple on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month to pray for my father."

Uneasy, he really wants to go to the temple to pray…

-

The heavy snow came slowly and went away slowly, and it lasted for three days.

Jiang Ruoli has been staying in her room these days, either reading storybooks or playing Go with Fuguo.

"Miss, you secretly moved my chess piece again!" Fuguo frowned and complained in a low voice.

These days, when the young lady played chess with her, she always secretly moved the chess pieces when she wasn't paying attention.

She has discovered it several times.

Jiang Ruoli pinched Fuguo's pouty face and said seriously:

"You saw it wrong. It was just arranged like this."

"Miss!"

Fuguo was fed up with this, so he put down the chess piece in his hand and was about to walk out.

Jiang Ruoli held Fuguo's hand and laughed.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. Let's play again, and this time I will definitely not move the chess piece."

Jiang Ruoli said solemnly.

"Miss, there is nothing wrong..." Fuguo pouted, but still resigned herself to sitting down and continuing to play chess.

Another half a while passed.

"Miss!"

Fuguo was furious.

Just now the young lady lied to her that there was a magpie outside the window, but when she turned around, the young lady had changed the chess piece.

Fuguo stood up and didn't want to play anymore.

Jiang Ruoli couldn't help laughing and grabbed Fuguo's hand and shook it left and right.

"Good luck, I was so wrong."

"But it's not my fault. It's mainly because you're so easy to fool. Haha..."

The master and servant were making a fuss in the room when a maid's voice was heard outside the door.

"Miss, Madam asks you to go to the front yard."

Mother?

Is there anything you want to talk to her about at this time?

The snow in the yard has been cleared.

Jiang Ruoli brought the blessed fruit to the front yard. As soon as she entered the house, a warm breeze accompanied by fragrance blew towards her.

Aroma of wine?

Jiang Ruoli looked at the round table beside her.

There were several wine glasses and a bottle of purple liquid on it.

"Li'er, come here quickly." Madam Jiang saw her and said with a smile, "This is the grape wine that mother made in the summer. It should be drinkable now. Come and try it."

Oh, wine.

Jiang Ruoli walked over, took the wine handed to her by Mrs. Jiang, lowered her head and took a sip.

Sweet and delicious.

Jiang Ruoli narrowed her eyes.

Seeing how she liked it, Madam Jiang said, "This grape wine has a low alcohol content. Mother put a lot of sugar in it, so it just smells like wine. You won't feel much alcohol when you drink it. You can drink more."

In fact, it is similar to fruit drink.

Jiang Ruoli drank three cups with great interest.

"By the way, Li'er, the New Year is coming soon. Mother is thinking of going to Xiangyun Temple on the outskirts of the city to burn incense and pray for blessings in a few days. Do you want to go with mother?"

Every year when the Spring Festival is approaching, the people of Dacheng will go to the temples to worship and pray for peace and prosperity in the coming year.

His Majesty will hold a grand sacrificial ceremony on the day of the winter solstice, and all civil and military officials must be present.

In order to seek good luck, officials and their wives would go to the temples to worship on the day of the winter solstice.

Therefore, every year on the winter solstice, there are a lot of people in Xiangyun Temple.

In order to avoid the crowds, Mrs. Jiang went to worship one day in advance in previous years.

It was a cold day and Jiang Ruoli had no interest in going up the mountain to burn incense, so she wanted to refuse Mrs. Jiang.

【Xiangyun Temple...Xiangyun Mountain...】

[Why do you feel familiar? ]

As soon as Jiang Ruoli's thoughts were heard, Mrs. Jiang became extremely alert.

There is no way. Whenever their family can hear Li'er's thoughts, it must be the time when something big is about to happen.

Madam Jiang casually said, "Xiangyun Temple is located on Xiangyun Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing. It is the largest temple in Beijing and is very popular. Many wealthy nobles like to go here to burn incense and pray for blessings."

After being reminded by Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Ruoli remembered.

【Oh~ It’s almost time. 】

[If there is a scientific examination next year, he will appear around this time. ]

[I just don’t know when the Third Prince will go to Xiangyun Temple. It would be best if we go on the same day as him so that we can rescue him…]

Jiang Ruoli fell into deep thought and thought about it.

Mrs. Jiang was completely puzzled when she heard this.

Li'er, what are you talking about?
