Records of the King of Xin'an County

Regardless of whether someone secretly sighed or not, the fourth prince was a step late in arriving. Yang Jieyu has already become a celebrity in the Tai Chi Palace.Counting the entire harem, only Empress Du and her gave birth to two children for the saint.However, Empress Du gave birth to two princesses, but she has both sons and daughters, which shows that her luck is extremely good.

It's a pity that no matter how good luck is, it can't match the fact that she is not favored.Although many people are secretly discussing, Yang Jieyu is now enough to be a concubine. After all, the positions of noble concubine and de concubine are vacant. Concubine Yang Xian and Concubine Yuan Shu were only concubines because they were the Liangdi of the Eastern Palace.However, during the full moon banquet of the four princes, Empress Du only issued a decree, naming her as one of the nine concubines, just ahead of Zhou Chongyuan, who is still childless.

The newly promoted Yang Baniang quietly pinched the palms of her hands, and stood up with a smile on her face to accept Yi's order to thank her.When her eyes seemed to pass over the saint, she found that His Majesty the emperor was concentrating on teasing the third prince, and seemed to have no interest in the fourth prince in the arms of the maidservant.

At this moment, Yang Chongrong, who was pampered and raised by Mrs. Wei since childhood, suddenly realized: With the third prince, the saint will not spoil her just because she gave birth to the fourth prince.And with Concubine Yang Xian occupying the position of the fourth concubine, even if she gave birth to a few princes, they would only be the nine concubines, at most Zhaoyi who was promoted to be the head of the nine concubines.When she looked unobtrusively at the smiling Empress Du, and Hu Jieyu who was standing beside her in a small crouch, a bit of coldness quickly flashed across her eyes.

It was clearly the full moon feast of the fourth prince, but the half-year-old third prince became the center of all the stars because of the saint.The little guy is quite clever and loves to laugh very much. Whether he is in the arms of the empress or being hugged by Princess Changning, he always smiles with crooked eyes.Even, even when Xin'an County King hugged him clumsily, he was also very happy.

"He is not afraid of life!" The sage laughed continuously, pointing at his nephew who suddenly became stiff as wood and his son who was alive and kicking.Empress Du bent her lips, glanced at Concubine Yang Xian and Concubine Yuan Shu inadvertently, and clearly saw their eyes of jealousy or longing.

Because the third prince was so close to others, all the concubines headed by Concubine Yuan Shu couldn't help but want to hug him.When Hu Jieyu heard this, her expression changed slightly.However, with the empress present, these concubines were also of higher rank than her, so how could she refuse?Thus, Concubine Yuan Shu finally hugged the prince she had dreamed of, and her expression softened a lot in an instant.Concubine Yang Xian reluctantly hugged her, followed by Zhang Zhaoyi and others.

When the palace maid handed the third prince into Yang Chongrong's arms, for some reason, the little guy who had been laughing all of a sudden burst into tears.For a while, Yang Chongrong was a little embarrassed, and coaxed him a little, but he still couldn't stop the little guy from crying.Seeing this, Hu Jieyu hurriedly picked up the child and coaxed him for a long time before he calmed down.As soon as the third prince cried, the fourth prince also started arguing, and they couldn't be coaxed no matter what, the chatter and laughter during the banquet suddenly became much quieter.Not long after, the full moon banquet ended in such a hurry.

When leaving the table, the Xin'an County King seemed to have a feeling, and looked back.The palace maid silently following Yang Chongrong didn't seem to have any abnormalities, and the palace had already been cleaned up many times. The chess pieces suspected of being Princess Anxing had already been guarded, and there was no chance of becoming a trusted palace maid. .What's more, it is common for the little ones to cry suddenly, so he must have thought too much?

In the next few days, Li Hui paid special attention to the news in the Taiji Palace, and Princess Changning went to and from the palace to visit the third prince every day, and the sister and brother seemed to be getting closer.After several days of being safe and sound, he gradually let go of his heart.However, before he was completely at ease, a month later, the third prince suddenly caught a cold and fell ill.Shengren and Empress Du immediately ordered Shangyao Bureau Fengyu to diagnose and treat the child, but when they were about to recover, the condition became serious again for some reason.

How can a baby under the age of [-] survive intermittent illnesses?Seeing that the third prince was getting weaker and weaker day by day, both Shengren and Empress Du were very anxious.And when the news spread to the former court, the officials were shocked.Who doesn't know that this is the Prince of the East Palace favored by the saint?Even though he was too young to be officially sent to be raised by Empress Du, the sage had already made it clear to all his ministers.Now that the third prince seems to have died young, after counting, there is only one fourth prince left in the palace...

"That maidservant is most likely an underhand chess set by An Xing'an." In the secret room of the Prince's Mansion in Xin'an County, Li Hui's face was a little pale and his brows were furrowed. When the time comes, tell your aunt to be careful. If something happens to Saburo..."

"All the blame lies with the chief culprit, so it has nothing to do with you." Wang Zixian interrupted him, "What's more, if that maidservant made a move, the third prince wouldn't fall ill after a month. Her Royal Highness arranged There must be no problem with people, the problem is those who come and go to visit the third prince's concubines and the people around them. It is the Yang sisters who regard the third prince as a thorn in their side, and this matter must have something to do with them."

"We can only wait here for the news now?" Li Hui felt that it was difficult for him to calm down as long as he thought that the little guy who was held in his arms was very likely to die young.The third prince is really a lovable little guy, no matter who has met him, it is hard not to like him.If his aunt really intends to support him to become the crown prince, he and Yue Niang, who were originally unwavering, will gradually soften...but now...

"Let's not mention this matter for the time being." The prince offered, "You have been a little restless recently, and you may not have noticed the news from Buqu. Someone secretly sent several secret letters one after another. There is also a list of the chess pieces in the list, the hiding place of the manor where Anxing placed his subordinates, and even the hidden thread of Ni Wang delivering the news. Since I don’t know whether it is true or not, and who sent it, I only let Zheng Chong and Jin Mother quietly went to check it out."

"What's the result?" Li Hui was actually not a sentimental person, so he followed his intentions and diverted his attention.

"Nine points are true and one point is false. And this point is false, but it is just a few mistakes, nothing. Compared with the big fish and small fish we have worked hard to catch before, these news make up for our gaps. After all, we are in Chang'an The operating time is not long enough to arrange the eyeliner earlier. And the person who sent us the news may have been lurking here for decades."

"It seems that there should be no malice towards us, but I don't know who actually helped us?"

Wang Zixian was silent for a moment, thinking of a certain figure he saw when he sent Du Chongfeng away from Chang'an: "...I am investigating." Rao even he never thought that Du Chongfeng would be the remnant of the family and had a deep entanglement with Huan He .The Jingzhao Du family was clearly not involved in it back then, which means that he is not a child of the Du family.Judging from his age, he could only be the posthumous son of Du's daughter.Otherwise, the Du family would not try their best to raise him.However, now that he is far away from Chang'an, he has no malice towards them. Even if his background is found out, it is only to find out the truth.

That night, Princess Changning did not return all night.Li Hui and the prince, who had been waiting all night, entered the palace to participate in the Chang Dynasty, but they could not wait for the saint for a long time.The time for the court meeting has long passed, the sage did not arrive for a long time, and he did not send any oral instructions from the palace supervisor, which aroused discussions among the officials.Li Hui's heart sank slightly, and he simply turned around and left the Tai Chi Hall. Under Wang Zixian's gaze, he went straight to the Anren Hall.

However, the Anren Hall was also completely silent at the moment.Empress Du has fallen ill, and the imperial physicians and imperial physicians from Shangyao Bureau are all around the bed.Princess Changning led Princess Yong'an and stood silently not far away.

Seeing him coming, Princess Changning said softly: "Sanlang...died in the early hours of the morning...Auntie was so hurt that she passed out from crying...Grandpa also returned to the Ganlu Palace and stayed behind closed doors... "

Li Hui was startled, and said nothing for a long time.

As far as he knew, this wasn't actually the first child the saint had lost.When he was still in the East Palace, there were children born to palace people who died young.But the third prince was unusual, he was a child that the sage hoped to be fostered by Empress Du, and he was even faintly regarded as the future prince of the Eastern Palace.For the sage, this is tantamount to losing his favorite prince.As for Empress Du, perhaps it was God's will.

Princess Changning knows her cousin very well. He seems calm, but in fact he is a bit like a grandfather in his bones, and he values ​​blood and family ties.Even a baby who has nothing to do with him, maybe he will feel pity.But she was even more ruthless. In addition to sympathizing with her, she felt lucky for Queen Du.

"Brother, Saburo's death was an accident." At least, until now, no problems have been found in the palace.

"Many things just seem like accidents." Li Hui sighed deeply.

The third prince died young, but the fourth prince born to Yang Chongrong is still healthy.Ever since, overnight, there was vague news that the sage intends to raise the fourth prince under Empress Du's lap.I don't know how many people were touched, not to mention the people who were friends with Yang Shijing, but Yang Qian unknowingly became the central figure who was repeatedly praised by others.

Wang Zixian looked indifferently at the seemingly handsome Yang Mingdu in the crowd, recalling that these days he had been sending people to see Concubine Yang and Princess Anxing, he felt that the matter of the third prince should be related to him.Regardless of whether enough evidence can be found in the end, a person who killed an innocent baby because of his own selfishness is already worse than a beast.

But... just wait a little longer, just wait a little longer, and he will be able to avenge Xuan Qi.

However, Wang Zixian waited for it, Li Hui waited for it, but some people couldn't wait.

One night, a man wearing a black cloak came to the mansion of Hongnong County.Yang Qian came out with a smile on his face and welcomed him in: "Your Excellency is here to visit, the mansion is really full of splendor."

The man cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I thought I would have no chance to catch up with Brother Yang, but now I have to visit with the cheek... Well, it can be seen that this is God's will."

"That's right, it's indeed God's will." Yang Qian said meaningfully, smiling very heartily.
