The imperial concubine was spoiled by the prince again

Chapter 897 Not the Prince
"Is his temper able to negotiate any results?"

"Furthermore, didn't His Royal Highness go to investigate General Huo's crime of resisting the edict? Why is General Huo in charge? Could it be that His Royal Highness didn't read the imperial edict properly at all?"

Before discussing this matter, they learned that the frontier and the barbarians were fighting again——

Isn't this fatal?
It is said that the national treasury is empty, and there are not many strong men who can even serve in the military after years of fighting, why can't they listen to it?
The barbarians have strong soldiers and horses, and they are all desperate. How can they be opponents?
Even if the previous peace talks failed, at least it should be relaxed for a while, why did they start fighting again?

Huo Jin and that rough man are ignorant, so what's going on with His Royal Highness?

Amidst the speculations and speculations of everyone coming and going, someone suddenly revealed the truth——

"His Royal Highness is still too anxious."

"Even if it's to subdue General Huo and make meritorious service, it shouldn't be so rash."

"This is gambling with the whole summer!"

Everyone suddenly realized that the prince might deliberately let Huo Jinhe go, and wanted him to atone for his crimes against the barbarians. First, he could buy Huo Jinhe's support, and second, he could make his position as the heir apparent more secure!

It would be too much for the prince to do this...

Too eager for quick success, too selfish!
What follows is a new wave of impeachment against the prince.

However, the emperor had made an agreement with Xiao Yunzhi long ago, and he also knew that Xiao Yunzhi went to the border to deal with the barbarians.

They are keeping it secret now, and let these ministers who don't know the truth discuss it, so as not to let those who care about it have any embarrassment. After the crown prince comes back, the emperor will naturally announce that he took his orders.

It's just that the prince has been wronged and has to bear the infamy for no reason.

These old guys really can't figure it out, the more they scold, the more energetic they become, right?

The emperor's eyes swept over those old things in the palace that made the most noise, very good, I will remember you all.

It was under such circumstances that Zheng Lian, who returned home to mourn his deceased wife, was belated and returned to the capital.

As soon as he returned to Beijing, he went directly to court with a face full of wind and frost.

The other courtiers felt that he didn't know what happened at the border, so they chatted with him.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Lian directly lifted his official robe and knelt down towards the emperor.

"I'm guilty, sir."

Even if the emperor had been wary of him for a long time, he was also taken aback by this miracle - mainly because he was worried that he would choke the water.

"What is Zheng Shangshu's crime?"

Huo Zhennan and the emperor were all waiting for Zheng Lian to make a move, but no one thought that what he said was——

"I was actually deceived by someone... Your Majesty, Xiao Yunzhi is not a prince at all!"

The emperor's eyebrows twitched: "Huh?"

Zheng Lian put on a guilty look.

"Your Majesty, the reason I have been back home for so long this time is because I met the nanny who gave birth to the queen in the past. She fell and lost her mind after returning home. I sent someone to visit her, but I didn't expect to learn that..."

He hesitated several times before saying: "I learned that Xiao Yunzhi is not from the empress at all!"

What he said was the truth, so he was not afraid of being investigated at all.

On the contrary, the more the emperor checked, the more he could be sure that Xiao Yunzhi had faked his identity.

The highest level of lying is ten sentences mixed with one lie, and the rest should be as ambiguous as possible.

He deliberately didn't kill all the people who knew about it back then, in order to drag Xiao Yunzhi down from the position of prince on this day.

In the report to the emperor, he only concealed and distorted part of the truth, such as who Xiao Yunzhi's mother was.
