The black-bellied prince: the little princess of the chef

Chapter 885 The Emperor's Mind

In the middle of the night, the calmness of a certain prince's mansion was suddenly broken by an urgent report. A certain man who had already fallen into a deep sleep sat up from the bed with a "Teng", and pulled the clothes hanging on the screen without thinking about getting dressed. He hurriedly opened the door and walked out, and asked sharply, "Say, what's the news!"

Unexpectedly, the dream just now was so real that it was difficult for him to distinguish dream from reality.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a man in black kneeling in front of him, he would really have thought that he was hallucinating, and it was just a dream!

"The eldest prince has returned to the capital, and he seems to be fully prepared, and he has already contacted the seventh prince and others." The man in black paused, looked at him with some fear, and tremblingly said: " Master, the First Prince is probably targeting you this time!"

The man suddenly lowered his eyes, and said with a sneer: "I used to be able to drive him out of the capital, but now I can still do it." This time, I will definitely let you die without a place to bury you!

The man in black knelt on the ground fearfully, borrowed two courage from the Lord, and secretly raised his eyes to glance at his master, but saw that his face was full of sternness, and even had a cold feeling. Can't help but make people feel scared.

In the end, the man evoked a big smile, as if he was determined to win, and even more ruthless.

Standing in front of the house and thinking for a while, Feng Jingxing immediately ordered: "The messenger comes in and changes my clothes for me, I want to go to the palace to face the saint!"

Feng Jingchen, I will never let you go this time, you will never leave the capital alive!

Not sure what the master was thinking, but he didn't dare to disobey his wishes, the man in black kept his eyes silent, then immediately complied, and followed his orders.

Ye Qing just woke up the next day when she heard a loud noise outside, as if she was discussing a certain topic, she vaguely heard the names "Fourth Prince" and "Seventh Prince", she couldn't help but frowned slightly, wanting to Get up and listen to what is being said.

"Keep your voices down, Miss Ye hasn't woken up yet. The girl is a light sleeper, so don't wake her up!"

As soon as he walked to the door, he heard Xiao Lan's voice from outside, but it was obviously an octave lower than the usual pitch, and Ye Qing's heart suddenly felt warm.

Sure enough, after hearing Xiaolan's words, the originally noisy courtyard became quiet in an instant. To exaggerate, even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard.

With a sound of 'crash', Ye Qing opened the door and looked at them haggardly, calling out: "What were you talking about just now, can someone tell me about it?" She really wanted to know...

But he never thought that as soon as his own words fell, people kneeling in the courtyard suddenly looked at him with fear, and said in unison: "Young maidservant should die, please forgive me."

Startled by their sudden movements, it took Ye Qing a long time to come back to his senses, and said slightly hesitantly: "You all get up, I don't mean to blame you. I just want to know what happened, just That's all!"

They are really too timid, it is really a sin to scare them like this with just a slight sentence.

Hearing her words, all the maids breathed a sigh of relief, but hesitated to come forward to explain her doubts.

When it came to the end, Ye Qing still called the roll and asked someone to follow her into the room, asking her to explain to herself.

"Tell me, what were you talking about just now?" Ye Qing stretched out his hands to straighten his messy hair, and sat on the dressing stool, the maid immediately stepped forward to pick up the mahogany comb on the table, and carefully combed it for her bun.

After hesitating for a while, she spoke slowly: "I heard that the Fourth Prince entered the palace last night to sue the First Prince, saying that he was not summoned by His Majesty..."

It turned out that it was just that Feng Jingxing went to the palace overnight to clamor for an interview with the saint, and filed a memorial to sue the eldest prince, Feng Jingchen, for returning to the capital privately. capital offense.

The fourth prince originally thought that even if his brother was not executed, at least he could get a crime and be punished by the emperor.

But things are often unexpected, just when he was full of confidence, the emperor threw the memorial to his face, scolded him severely, and even ordered the fourth prince to be grounded for a month.

"How come, wasn't the eldest prince sent out of Beijing back then?" Ye Qing exclaimed after hearing this.

The events of that year were very troublesome, and the original owner could vaguely remember some of them, but the specific reasons were not investigated.

But since the Eldest Prince was sent out of the capital, returning to the capital without the emperor's imperial decree, it stands to reason that this is contempt for the imperial power, and the Holy Majesty should be angry.

And the emperor not only did not punish the eldest prince, but even favored him and punished the fourth prince, which is quite strange.

Seeing that she was thinking like an ordinary person, the servant girl laughed lightly: "The girl is thinking about this problem just like us."

Ye Qing smiled when he heard this, motioned for her to continue talking, while he got up and found a piece of clothing, and put it on.

Everyone in the world wondered why the emperor punished the fourth prince, but not the eldest prince. This is really puzzling.

But everyone knows that the affairs in the deep palace are very complicated, and the affairs inside are also involved. It is not easy to sit firmly on the dragon chair, and it requires the balance and support of all parties.In this way, the emperor's actions must have his own reasons.

However, there were rumors outside that it was their master, the Seventh Prince, who reported the matter to His Majesty the Emperor early on, and listed many benefits of the First Prince's return to Beijing.The emperor was partial to the Seventh Prince, and he praised what he said, and in the end, he acquiesced in the matter of the Eldest Prince's return to Beijing.

Feng Jingxing sued his own imperial brother late at night, provoking the emperor's fury, probably because he felt that he disregarded brotherhood and fought for the throne at any cost, and had forgotten the idea of ​​friendship that the emperor entrusted to their brothers when they were young.

Hearing this, Ye Qing couldn't help thinking, whether Feng Jingyu has the ability to foretell or not, it's really smart enough to think of the fourth prince suing his eldest brother.

"Is the fourth prince really grounded?" If so, it might be a little more peaceful recently.

The maid was silent, she shook her head towards Ye Qing, with a little confusion on her face, she seemed to say that she didn't know.

That's right, it's a matter of court affairs, what a little girl like her can understand, she's just chatting with everyone.

Ye Qing thought, the order issued by the emperor, the fourth prince should not dare to do anything, and now he should stay in the mansion and think about his past behind closed doors!
Now that the situation in the court is chaotic, the princes who are most qualified to compete for the throne have already assembled in the capital, but at the most critical moment, the fourth prince was grounded.

Does this mean that the current emperor has other ideas about the heir to the throne?
