Chapter 5
The red walls and yellow tiles of the palace block the wealth and splendor inside the walls, but they cannot stop the rumors outside the city.

General Ningyuan defeated Beidi and recovered eleven cities including Beijun, Pingnan and Andong. I know how the emperor will reward this 20-year-old God of War hero.

Waiting and waiting, the news of General Ning Yuan did not come out, but the romantic deeds of the third prince spread like wildfire.

It is heard that the third prince got drunk at the palace banquet and had an affair with Tang Min, the eldest daughter of Uncle Xianchang, and was caught by Concubine Yan on the spot.

Concubine Yan Gui is also the biological mother of the third prince.

I heard that the scene in the room was extremely tragic at that time. The two had already fought from the bed to the table, and the cups of melons and fruits were scattered all over the ground. When Concubine Yan Gui and the Countess led a group of people to open the door, they saw exactly this scene.

I heard that the two eunuchs did not separate the two.

I also heard that the Pei family has gone to Earl Xianchang's mansion to retire...

When it was dawn early in the morning, Tang Xi was called to the study.

Yesterday Tang You sent her and Tang Shu back to the mansion in a hurry, and then returned to the palace. He heard from Baozhen that they came back from the palace in the middle of the night.

Both Tang Min and the third prince insisted that they were drugged. The emperor sent someone to check the wine, fragrance and other suspicious items at the banquet. There was nothing abnormal. He decided that it was an excuse for the two. Long Yan was furious. Fortunately, the people who supported the third prince The ministers took turns to plead for mercy, saying that the third prince is young and energetic, and it is human nature to have sex after drinking. The matter has come to this point, and the third prince will bring Tang Min into the mansion to be responsible to the end.

Tang Xianchang was still unmoved at first, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. After hearing the last sentence, he immediately knelt down on his knees, with tears in his eyes, and said that he had no way to teach a daughter, so how could he enter the backyard of His Highness the Third Highness with such shamelessness, and would like to let her lead her to practice , From then on, for the rest of his life, the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha would not step into the imperial city.He also kowtowed heavily, hoping that His Majesty will be fulfilled.

The emperor was shaken for a moment, he didn't expect that Xian Changbo, who has always had no sense of presence, would be so upright and strict.

But besides the old emperor, whoever was not a thousand-year-old fox, none of them would believe Tang Xianchang's nonsense even if they were killed.

After so many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, they can guess everything about today's events with their eyes closed.

Tang Xianchang belongs to the prince, so today he must deal with the third prince, but the game he set up at the beginning must not be like this, hurting the enemy by one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred. The chicken can't eat the rice. The embarrassing situation.

If you want to blame him, you can blame him for doing too much. This kind of thing is not uncommon in Dayu, but it can be big or small, but he is too confident in himself, finds too many family members, and even invites Concubine Yan Gui. It's hard not to alarm the emperor.

What happened today, the Earl of Xianchang's mansion has already trampled on the face of the Pei family, the marriage of the two families is definitely gone, and if they fail to keep it together, they will be hated by the Pei family.

The emperor is so confused now, the establishment of the heir is imminent, the princeling party and the third prince's party are fighting fiercely, if he marry his daughter to the third prince again, the prince will be suspicious and kick him immediately, the third prince will take revenge, and there is How could he treat him kindly in today's affairs? By that time, he would be attacked from three sides, and being in Dayu's officialdom would be like trying to survive in the cracks.

So he would rather his daughter not set foot in the capital for the rest of her life, and he would never let her marry into the third prince's courtyard.

He made a good plan, the Three Princes didn't want to let go of this opportunity, but seeing that the emperor was moved at this time, after weighing the pros and cons, they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

It doesn't matter to the third prince whether to marry or not, but if he disobeys His Majesty's wishes at this time and makes His Majesty unhappy, it will be detrimental to the fight for the heir apparent.

Today, I am afraid that this old fox will take advantage of the loophole again.

"Your Majesty," Jian Chijin, who had been standing silently in the corner, said suddenly, "Uncle Xianchang's eldest daughter is only seventeen years old, and it would be cruel to spend the rest of her life with only the ancient Buddha with blue lanterns. The prince's happy marriage can also show the emperor's benevolence and righteousness."

No one can compare Jian Chijin's position in the heart of the Holy One today, and what happened today happened at his celebration banquet. The emperor agreed with his proposal in every possible way, and also thought that the third prince was short of a side concubine. The purpose is to marry two people.

The position of side concubine did not wrong Xian Changbo's daughter.

So far, all the events of yesterday have come to an end.

Tang Xi was led into the study by the servant, and as soon as he entered, he saw Tang Xianchang sitting on the master seat, his eyes were black and blue, he must have stayed up all night last night.Tang You stood quietly on one side, feeling a little weak.

"Xi'er, you must already know what happened yesterday." Tang Xianchang tried his best to control his tone, but the anger in his voice was still obvious.

Tang You frowned, and looked at Tang Xi worriedly.

Tang Xi's thin shoulders shook, lowered his head, and said softly, "My daughter knows."

"Your mother told me that she sent you into that guest room," Tang Xianchang stared at her closely, the man who was always kind and kind-hearted at this moment had a dark brow, "Why is it Tang Min who was in the room at the end?"

Tang Xi blinked, looking at him with wet eyes in disbelief, her voice choked with heartbreak, "Father, what do you mean is that the person in the room should be me, and I should be humiliated by the third prince?"

"Xi'er, that's not what father meant," Tang Xianchang rubbed the center of his brows. He was feeling agitated now, but when he saw Tang Xi's trembling shoulders, he tried to calm down, "Father, I think something is wrong, and I want to give your big sister An explanation."

Tang Xi sobbed a few times, and said softly: "Yesterday, after my mother helped me to that room, I fell asleep, and when I woke up again, I found myself on the bed in another room. My daughter was very scared, and heard the noise outside. My daughter pushed the room and ran out, and happened to see my elder brother looking for me, so I was sent back to the mansion with my second sister. My daughter didn't know what happened in the middle."

Tang Xianchang had a headache, what she said didn't provide him with any useful clues, "Xi'er, think about it again, did anyone else come in the middle room? Or did you hear any strange movements? You were transferred to another room , don't you feel anything?"

"No," Tang Xi pinched the veil and blamed himself, "It's just that Xi'er is useless and can't help father." At the end of the speech, tears fell on the carpet under his feet.

Tang Xianchang rubbed his temples irritably, he no longer had the energy to comfort her, and waved to Tang You impatiently.

Tang You walked up to Tang Xi, bent down slightly, and kept his gaze level with her, wiped the tears on her cheeks with a handkerchief, and whispered softly: "Don't cry, my father just wants to find the real culprit, how can you blame me?" Well, your health is not good, and you were frightened last night, brother has ordered the kitchen to cook ginseng black chicken soup for you, you go back and drink a bowl while it is hot, and sleep well, you know?"

"Yeah." Tang Xi nodded obediently with red eyes, bowed to Tang Xianchang again, and turned to leave. Halfway there, she turned around again, "Father, my daughter feels something is wrong."

Tang Xianchang raised his eyes, quickly walked down from the main seat, held her hand, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Tang Xi bit her lower lip, hesitated for a long time, finally made up her mind, and said, "Daughter always feels that what happened yesterday was aimed at me. The ginger honey water was prepared for my daughter at the palace banquet yesterday, and I don't know how to drink it." Drunk, but my daughter became dizzy after drinking a few cups, lost all strength, fell asleep after entering the room, and my daughter suspected that the ginger honey water had been drugged."

She raised her eyes, with teardrops on her eyelashes, her little hands were cold, weak and helpless, "Father, Xi'er is so scared."

Guilt flashed across Tang Xianchang's eyes, he patted the back of her hand lightly, and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Xi'er, father will definitely find out whoever is behind the scenes, listen to your brother, go back and drink some ginseng soup to make up for it, take care of yourself." Go to sleep and don't worry."

"Father should pay more attention to his health, Xi'er has stepped back." Tang Xi bowed his head and left with Tang Xianchang's guilt.

Only father and son were left in the house.

Tang Xianchang sat down on a chair casually, a few strands of his long hair, which was always scrupulously combed, were now scattered, his head was bowed, and he had no old style.

"Father, the emperor's edict of bestowing marriage will be delivered soon, so go back to your room and tidy up your appearance," Tang You said.

Tang Xianchang raised his head suddenly, staring at Tang You like an eagle, the cold light in his eyes made people panic, "Did you do this?"

Tang You froze, knowing that he was testing him, quickly knelt down, and said seriously: "I have been by my father's side yesterday, and I haven't left half a step. How can I get the third prince drunk. What's more, most of my subordinates are My father’s people, they will report to my father everything I do, how can I hide it from my father’s eyes?”

Tang Xianchang looked at his expression, seeing no flaws, he raised his hand and told him to get up.

"Using my hands to deal with the third prince and dragging me into the water, this person is either a neutral, or someone in the princeling party who wants to step on my position."

At present, there are only a few pedantic old men and Jian Chijin who remain neutral in the court, and there are countless people in the princeling party who want to step on Tang Xianchang's position. Up to the current position of earl, I don't know how many people are jealous.

But jealousy is jealousy, those people still can't do it quietly, causing him to fall into such a big fall.

"It's very likely that Jian Chijin wrote this matter." Tang Xianchang said with a gloomy face.

Although Tang You also doubted Jian Chijin, there was one thing he didn't understand, "Why did he bother to replace Xi'er with Min'er?"

Tang Xianchang shook his head, he couldn't figure it out, "Unless he has an enmity with the Pei family. This move is to slap the Pei family in the face."

But when did Jian Chijin tie the knot with the Pei family?
There is also the aromatherapy in the stove, the effect of the medicine is much stronger than originally planned, he sent someone to check it privately, and it was no different from the original one.

There were many doubts, but Tang Xianchang couldn't find any clues, he could only watch the imperial decree handed down, and he didn't even have the last chance to appeal.
