A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 151 The Restless Prince
After taking a deep look at him, the emperor waved him down without saying anything.Mu Wuji left Qianyuan Hall and went straight to find Shen Zaiya.

"Hengwang has lost his legs, and he thinks he won't covet the position of the East Palace anymore." He looked at Shen Zaiye and said, "Is the seat of the Palace finally secured?"

Shen Zaiye looked hesitant, but still nodded lightly: "At present, there is no one more suitable to be a prince than you."

"Prime Minister, is there anything else you want to say?" Looking at his expression, Mu Wuyin frowned: "Is there any other question?"

"I wonder if Your Highness has thought about His Majesty's thoughts?" Shen Zaye sighed: "Although King Heng's injury will not be blamed on you, the Emperor will inevitably have some thoughts in his heart."

Speaking of this, the crown prince remembered the emperor's words just now, and hurriedly said: "The prime minister knows things like a god, and the father is indeed blaming me, and the words are quite heavy, what should I do?"

"Just treat Nan Wang better." Shen Zaiye said: "Your Majesty has opinions on you, and your behavior of caring about your brothers and feet will change."

"But..." the prince pursed his lips, frowned and said, "Although King Nan has no intention of seizing the throne, he is still a prince after all. My palace treats him too well, will he be a threat to the tiger?"

"Your Highness has to decide for himself." Shen Zaiye said with a smile: "The emperor is in his prime, and you will have to be a prince for more than ten years before you have a chance to win the throne. No one knows what will happen during this period." Hard to say."

Over ten years.

Mu Wuyin couldn't help himself: "I can't wait that long, my father has been the emperor for more than 20 years, should it be enough?"

"Your Highness!" Shen Zaiye's face darkened: "Don't speak nonsense!"

It's good to think about this kind of thing in your heart, but you still say it directly?
Mu Wuyin was slightly startled, quickly collected his expression, cupped his hands and said, "It's Wuyin's mouth that's open, please pretend that you haven't heard it."

"Of course, Shen can pretend that he didn't hear it, but if you let His Majesty know about your thoughts, you won't just lose the crown prince." Shen Zaiye said with a serious face: "Don't have such thoughts again."

"I know." The crown prince nodded, smiled, and talked about other things with him.

However, this idea was like a watermelon seed, which quickly took root in his heart and grew a string of vines.

It's not that Shen Zaiye couldn't understand his thoughts, but if he understood, he could only pretend that he didn't understand. After talking for a while, he prepared to leave the palace and return home.

Before leaving, Mu Wuyin asked him, "How is Meng'er?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Shen Zaiye smiled: "After half a month, you will definitely see her standing in front of you intact."

"Wujiu believes in the prime minister." The prince said gratefully: "Then I will wait, and I hope the prime minister will take more trouble."

"Okay." Shen Zaye nodded, and strode out of the East Palace.

Heng Wang had an accident, the emperor blamed the prince quite a lot, recently he did not allow the prince to accompany him, instead he brought Nan Wang in the palace, and argued with him from time to time about the Confucian way of governing the country.

If it was another prince, Mu Wuyin would still be jealous, but seeing that it was Mu Wuxia, and he would quarrel with his father every time, so he didn't care. Instead, he started seriously thinking about the throne.

Seeing that the summer was coming to an end, Taohua was eating fresh grapefruit, and seeing the sinister smile on Shen Zaiye's face, she couldn't help shivering.

"What conspiracy are you thinking about?"

"Huh?" Shen Zaye glanced up at her, and said with a fake smile: "What did you say?"

"... What I mean by this concubine is that I am so focused, I must be preparing for some great cause." Taohua smiled and leaned over to feed him a grapefruit: "Can you tell me something conveniently?"

Shen Zaiya opened his mouth and bit the grapefruit, let her rub into his arms, hugged her very naturally, looked at the things on the table and said, "You will be able to see the prince in half a month."

Tao Hua was taken aback, a little surprised: "Master really intends to let the concubine return to the prince's side?"

"Do you want to go back?" Shen Zaye looked at her jokingly, with deep meaning in his eyes.

After staring at him for a while, Taohua probably guessed what he was thinking.

I am afraid that she is not asked to go back to the prince, but to see the prince for the last time.However, the prince's hand injury is just right now, but King Heng is already a useless person. Under such circumstances, where does Shen Zaiya have the confidence to bring down the prince within half a month?
Looking down at the things on his desk, it was a booklet with many people's names written on it, and she saw the words "Emperor Servant Qin Sheng" at a glance.

Qin Sheng is a member of Shen's family, but it seems that because of the crown prince's promotion, he made meritorious service in front of the emperor and became a servant. Now for some reason, he doesn't communicate with the prime minister very often.

On the top of his name, there was an unmarked ink mark. It seemed that Shen Zaiya wanted to cross out the name, but he stopped midway for some reason.

"Master, what does this mean?" Taohua blinked: "Is this person not yours?"

"It belongs to me." Shen Zaiye smiled: "But he is already the crown prince's man in name."

Since he belongs to the prince, only the prince will be responsible for the disaster.

Tao Hua was at a loss: "Can you explain more clearly?"

"It's okay if I let you know?" Shen Zaye chuckled, pinched her chin and said, "Don't you want to save the prince?"

Tao Hua was stunned, and quickly lowered her eyes: "Where does this concubine get the ability to snatch meat from the master? If you decide not to save him, there is nothing I can do about it."

"Really?" Shen Zaiye looked at her playfully: "He treats you so well, are you not tempted?"

Rolling her eyes, Tao Hua said: "The women in the backyard are also very kind to you, why didn't I see you fall in love?"

This seems to be the same reason, Shen Zaiye smiled reassuringly, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and said in a low voice: "The Western Regions paid tribute to a few snow wolves into the palace, and the emperor showed them to all civil and military officials to watch when he was preparing for the autumn harvest festival. Just stay in the palace."

Wolf?
Thinking of the pack of wolves she met when she first came to Dawei, Taohua's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at him in shock: "You..."

"This is the prince's idea. I have stopped him." Shen Zaiye said innocently: "If he doesn't listen, then I have nothing to do."

Taking a deep breath, Taohua covered her eyes.She has already hinted to Mu Wuyin many times that he should be his prince well and don't do anything, and he will be able to wait for the day when he ascends the throne in peace.But you said, why is this person so restless?
Xuelang was imprisoned in Quyou Palace, far away from the emperor's bedroom, and guarded by heavy soldiers, it was not easy to escape.

However, Mu Wuji was discussing with the advisers when to release those wolves.

"Has the prince made a decision yet?" A counselor cupped his hands and said, "Once it is done, it must be done thoroughly, otherwise the matter will be revealed, and you and the minister will have no chance of turning over."

"Don't worry, my palace has already made arrangements." Mu Wuyin said with a smile: "Weiwei Nangong is in charge of the palace guards, and he has already communicated with this palace. Once the matter is completed, his benefits will be indispensable. Now we just wait for the time to come. If you send a whistle, you can change the dynasty."

How could he not seize the good opportunity given by God?There happened to be snow wolves paying tribute from the Western Regions. If anything happened, it could only be due to improper palace guards.Animals killed the emperor, could future generations still blame him?As soon as his father passed away, he, the crown prince, would be able to ascend the throne in a legitimate way, without any dirty water, and he would be a good emperor for a while.

This kind of opportunity was once in a thousand years, the right time and place, and he took it. The minister Shen Zaiya, who was difficult to deal with before, also helped him take it under his account. Mu Wuqian could not find a reason to persuade himself not to do it.

Make it or break it!

The atmosphere in the palace was inexplicably tense, and Mu Wuxia felt it. Standing at the gate of Qianyuan Hall, he glanced in the direction of the East Palace, frowning slightly.

"What does the prince want to do?" He asked Shen Zaiye next to him: "I always feel that he is uneasy and kind."

"I don't know." Shen Zaiye shook his head innocently: "If you are curious, why don't you ask?"

Taking a deep look at him, Mu Wuxia said seriously, "I don't want you to help him do something that hurts people behind his back."

"Don't worry, my lord." Shen Zaiye said with a smile: "This time I will definitely not help you, nor will you support His Royal Highness' actions. Good and evil will be rewarded, and it is better to do good deeds."

Do good deeds?Shen Zaiye?Mu Wuxia couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "If you can put down the butcher knife, then the sun will come out from the west. I don't ask you to do anything good, as long as you don't endanger the common people."

"Weichen understands." Shen Zaye nodded, watching the little guy walking down straight with his back straight, and he was dressed in a silver four-clawed dragon robe unexpectedly.

After all, children will grow up, and His Royal Highness Nanwang seems to grow faster and better than he expected.

Three days later, it was late at night in the palace.

The guards of Quyou Palace were transferred away, Qin Sheng gave a wolf whistle, and three snow wolves bared their fangs and walked towards the emperor's bedroom.

The palace was extremely quiet that night, and even the guards who were patrolling were gone.The emperor was tossing and turning in Concubine Lan's palace, he held Lu Zhilan's hand and asked, "What kind of child does Aifei think Nan Wang is?"

Lu Zhilan was taken aback for a moment, and said slightly displeased: "The concubine doesn't know much about Nanwang, so I can't comment."

"But you don't seem to like him very much."

This is natural, she doesn't like anything that Shen Zaiye likes, but... I still have to help. Fortunately, the way to help Nan Wang is to speak ill of him.

"Nan Wang is too young, and always against you." She said: "The concubine naturally doesn't like him, what happened to His Majesty recently? Always keep Nan Wang in the palace overnight."

"His mother and concubine have passed away, and he has not yet reached the weak crown." The emperor sighed: "I want him to stay by my side more, and also taste what it feels like to be loved by someone."

"Why bother?" Concubine Lan Gui shook her head: "He should get used to it, now that he is favored, it is inevitable that he will not learn well."

Seeing how she puffed up and said bad things about others, Emperor Ming De was so happy that he pinched her nose dotingly: "You think too much."
