Chapter 225 Suicide
The Fifth Prince's Mansion and the Xu family have discussed this matter for a long time, and the rest of the in-laws who came to the Xu family to participate in the New Year's Eve Catch Zhou Banquet today are also busy contacting people tonight.

The one who did it most directly was Mrs. Ye of the eldest family of the Xu family.

If it was according to Ye Shi's usual temper, she really wouldn't care about this matter.

But who told me to marry into the Ye family? Ye Jingxing, who is about to ascend the throne, is not only his cousin, but also the brother-in-law of his husband-in-law, and the uncle of his children.

Although Ye's temperament is cold, she is sincere to her children.

She knew that her children might still be able to count on her father for promotion, but if they could, they would have to count on Ye Jingxing, their uncle, and Ye Huan, their cousin.

Therefore, taking advantage of the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month to visit her own father at Prince Duan's Mansion, she brought this matter up.

If the Xu family had Xu Nuanwen and Ye Jingxing besides Xu Shiqiu, she probably guessed that the man who lived in Xu Yanzhu's yard at home was probably Ye Yan, the eldest son of her prince cousin.

Although the family kept this matter a secret, Mrs. Ye was Mrs. Xu's family after all. Some things could be kept from others, but not from her.

So after leaving the Xu family's old house, she thought about it for a while, and then took the opportunity of this evening to meet Prince Duan.

After seeing Queen Duan, Ye Shi naturally wouldn't mention Yan Ye's matter, but just seriously talked about the hatred between the Xu family and Ye Jingche.

"Daddy, others don't know what happened back then, but you must know. The Xu family has been wronged for so many years, and this time they can see their enemies get retribution, but now there are such rumors again. " Ye's sense of propriety is very good, and she is the only one in the entire Duanwang Mansion who dares to call Duanwang 'Daddy' instead of 'Father Wang'.

King Duan just likes Ye Shi's eldest daughter, not only because she is his first child, but also because Ye Shi has lost his mother since he was a child, and she is sensible enough to take care of his younger siblings.

Hearing Ye Shi's words this time, Duan Wang also let out a long sigh.

The news outside the palace has spread to the palace, how could he not know.

He didn't want to guess whether it was true or not, but now that he heard what the eldest daughter said, he also understood what the Xu family meant.

The Xu family, Ye Jingche and the Liu family are now in a situation of 'either you die or I die', but in this matter, he did not find any traces of the Xu family plotting Ye Jingche, Ye Jingche will have the current situation, that is, He himself has reasons for the Liu family and the Zheng family.

The Xu family could refrain from taking the initiative to plot against the prince because of their loyalty to the emperor, but the prince really did something wrong, but the Xu family must make trouble and take revenge.

In this matter, Duan Wang really can't say that the Xu family is wrong.

If it was him, he might not be better than the Xu family, and maybe he would take the initiative to reach out and do something.

It was precisely because of this thought in his heart that he finally nodded under the expectant gaze of the eldest daughter and said, "Don't worry, Daddy is not foolish. No matter what your uncle thinks about this matter, Daddy will definitely let you go." The law works."

With such a promise from her own father, Ye Shi can be regarded as half relieved.

Now that she came to Duanwang's mansion, it was impossible for Mrs. Ye to only talk about such a thing, and she casually mentioned Xu Yanhao's marriage.

"Daddy, the body of Uncle Huang..." At this point, Ye Shi paused before continuing: "I'm not talking nonsense, but Yanhao is not young after all, and the engagement has been delayed for a long time. The date of marriage has been chosen for a long time and discussed with the Zhang family, don't..."

Ye Shi didn't finish her words, but Duan Wang understood what she meant.

Duan Wang is very clear about the temperament of his parents and daughters, knowing that she values ​​children, so in the end he looked at Mrs. Ye and nodded and said: "The day we have chosen is very good, just wait and drink your daughter-in-law's tea with peace of mind."

With such words from her father, Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that Mrs. Ye doesn't know yet, some things are always unexpected.

Taking advantage of the night of the Lantern Festival, the Ye family went back to her mother's house without a curfew in the capital, and the other female relatives were not idle. As for the men, they naturally contacted many people tonight.

However, because tonight is the Lantern Festival, the capital city is already lively, so the commotion they made didn't attract too many people's attention.

After all, after today, the year will be over. Taking advantage of this last day, it is normal to want to be more lively.

Therefore, no matter how much joy there was outside the palace that night, the palace didn't receive any news.

Of course, the main reason is that Duan Wang, who was in charge of this matter, pretended to be dumb.

----------------

the sixteenth day of the first lunar month
The first big court meeting after the new year, as everyone expected, not only discussed a few major issues, but also directly discussed from the dawn of the morning until the evening when the sky was getting dark.

Rao was prepared in advance, but on this day, the female relatives who have men at home are still anxiously waiting, for fear that something will happen to their men at the court meeting today.

Dong Shu is also one of them.

Although old lady Xu comforted her, Dong Shu could feel the same worry from old lady Xu, so how could she really feel at ease.

At noon, when the court was still in the palace, Dong Shu looked at the old lady Xu worriedly and said, "Mother, you said today's court meeting, can we achieve what we want?"

The old lady Xu was actually feeling very uncomfortable at this meeting. She had the heart to comfort Dong Shu a few words just now, but she didn't wait for her son and didn't hear any news. uneasy life.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu looked directly at Dong Shu and said, "We will do our best in this matter. Whether it will be successful or not depends on the Holy Majesty's mind."

The old lady Xu said so, but she knew in her heart that according to Rui Kangdi's temperament, as long as no one supports him in this matter, he probably won't be too persistent.

After all, what Ye Jingche and the Liu family did this time almost shook the foundation of the country.

The old lady Xu knew a little about Ruikangdi. At the beginning of the morning, Ruikangdi tentatively mentioned that he was old and didn't want to see his son walking in front of him again.

As a result, as soon as he said this, before anyone else opened his mouth, King Duan took a step forward, looked at Emperor Ruikang and said, "Brother Emperor is reluctant to part with his own children, I can understand. And the Zheng family, etc., what they did this time almost shakes the foundation of the country. Brother Huang, you are not only the father, but also the emperor of my dynasty, and I hope that you will care about my Ye family!"

In the harem, only Empress Hu dared to say this kind of words that would not save face for Emperor Ruikang, and the one who dared to say it in front of the courtiers was King Duan, the Holy Majesty's younger brother.

However, Ruikangdi is a person who has identified one thing, and it is difficult to change it.

It's like he felt guilty towards Empress Hu because of the matter of the first prince, so later, no matter how disrespectful Empress Hu treated him, he would not be angry, because he felt that he was sorry for Empress Hu, so he shouldn't be angry.

For King Duan, Emperor Ruikang has long recognized that this is his own younger brother. He helped him ascend the throne at the beginning, and even helped him many younger brothers over the years.

His younger brother has no intention of being the emperor, so he will not harm himself. What he said must be for his own good, and for the good of the Ye family.

Because he knew this in his heart, Emperor Ruikang was not angry after hearing what King Duan said, but just sighed, looked at King Duan and said, "What should King Duan think about Ye Jingche?"

With Ruikangdi's words, everyone who was worried at first also breathed a sigh of relief.

Even those ministers who were not from Ye Jingxing's faction breathed a sigh of relief.

It was true that they and Ye Jingche hadn't been in a situation where they couldn't die before, but after what happened on New Year's Eve, they didn't dare to let Ye Jingche out again.

What if he takes another medicine next time?
Thinking of this, these ministers strengthened their minds, no matter what this time, they must not let the Holy Majesty let Ye Jingche go.

As for the Liu family and the Zheng family...

Ye Jingche, the mastermind, was convicted, so how could they, the accomplices, escape.

Ruikangdi has dealt with his own son, so he will definitely not be soft on these people.

With such a thought in mind, when King Duan spoke up and said that Ye Jingche would be removed from the royal family and imprisoned for life, many people couldn't help but nodded.

We all know that Emperor Ruikang is reluctant to see his own son die before him, so let's let Ye Jingche live for a while. After all, Emperor Ruikang is not in good health, this is something that everyone knows.

And King Duan proposed to remove Ye Jingche from the royal family in order to prevent Emperor Ruikang from regretting in the future, or Ye Jingche was determined to make trouble.

Emperor Ruikang fell silent after listening to King Duan's words.

He has to admit that King Duan's proposed punishment method is very good, let his son be an ordinary person, as long as he obediently does not make trouble, even if he is locked up, his life can be saved, and there is still a son under his knee who can take care of him until his death .

The most important point, Emperor Ruikang understands that he is still alive now, and when he goes, if Ye Jingche is still the prince, maybe he can really do something else.

Even if King Duan is still there, Ye Jingxing may directly kill him if he is the emperor and the courtiers.

The more he thought about it, the more Rui Kangdi felt that it was possible.

Thinking of this, Emperor Ruikang nodded to King Duan, and then looked at Ye Jingxing standing under him.

"Xing'er, you have to promise the royal father that you will leave him a bloodline to support him until his death."

Emperor Ruikang's request was really not too much. From Ye Jingxing's point of view, even if Ye Jingche's son-in-law failed, wouldn't there be another son-in-law who had been sent to northern Xinjiang?

The concubine will definitely survive, so it is really not difficult to agree to the father's request.

It's just that Ye Jingxing also understood that he couldn't agree so directly. After thinking about it, he looked at Emperor Ruikang and said, "Why don't you invite Master Xuanling to enter the palace to count?"

Ye Jingxing said this because he was thinking of Emperor An Ruikang. After all, Master Xuanling secretly left a message for Dong Shu yesterday after watching Yuan Xi Catch the Week. He wanted to go out for a while.

Only four people know about this matter.

Dong Shu, Xu Shiqiu, him and Xu Nuanwen.

So when Ye Jingxing said this, he just wanted to tell Emperor Ruikang that not only King Duan was watching him, but also Master Xuanling was there.

After hearing Ye Jingxing's words, Emperor Ruikang breathed a sigh of relief.

It was only when he thought of Master Xuanling that no matter what fights existed between them, at least their hearts were the same.

There is no room for loss in the Ye family!
It's just that Emperor Ruikang didn't expect that just after he agreed to imprison Ye Jingche, the person who passed the decree had just left from the former Third Prince's Mansion and now the Ye Mansion. .
