The imperial decree for Xia Yunhao, the son of Prince Lichen, to be the grandson of the emperor came very suddenly.

Three days later in the court hall, when Emperor Jianning announced the matter, the entire court was in an uproar.

During this period of time, everyone was watching Emperor Jianning's attitude towards the Seventh Prince. Unexpectedly, they did not wait for the news that the Seventh Prince had come out of the prison of the Ministry of Justice, but instead waited for the imperial decree to establish the emperor's grandson.

"I'm fifty this year. Although I'm past the prime of life, I'm still in good health. It's not a problem to raise my grandson personally for ten years. This child is smart, sensible and filial, and the king of Chen is there to guide him. Presumably, you love ministers should have no objections."

On the Golden Luan Hall, Emperor Jianning announced in public.

The courtiers had different thoughts and discussions, but no one dared to say anything they disagreed with.

For one thing, among the few princes under Emperor Jianning's knees, there are indeed no good candidates. The wounded, the criminal, the incompetent, and the incompetent are selected from the grandchildren. This is also a precedent to follow. You can't propose to choose a person from the clan to adopt.

I'm afraid that Emperor Jianning would have another child, and he would not agree that other people's children would inherit his inheritance.

Secondly, nowadays there are many people in the court who are talking about the Seventh Prince for a while, if they speak out at this moment, it is inevitable that the emperor will not be regarded as the Seventh Prince's henchman, and thus be dismissed.

No one wants to risk their career.

Shen Qianwei remained silent, took the jug, and took a big gulp himself.

After a while, he took the wine gourd from his waist and handed it over.

The Seventh Prince glanced at him, took a big gulp of the gourd and raised his head, and immediately coughed from the strong alcohol.

He really didn't expect Shen Qianwei to come, so the guilt and guilt in his heart were magnified countless times at this moment.

There was more than one footstep.

At this moment, he has more or less recalled it in his heart.

"You threaten me!"

The seventh prince howled like crazy, but what was waiting was not the jailer, but the personal bodyguard of King Chen.

The moment the two looked at each other, they were speechless.

It wasn't until I heard that the jailers were discussing the matter of the Emperor Li's grandson that I realized that the situation outside had changed.

"Death is of course easy, but His Royal Highness is gone, and if something happens to the prince, the princess and the child in her womb will be lost."

He was just a pawn from the beginning to the end, he knew it in his heart, but he just felt that Prince Chen wanted him to be the puppet emperor, but he didn't expect that King Chen had no intention of letting him take the throne, but just wanted him to pave the way for his son Stepping!

The corner of the guard's mouth was bleeding from the beating, and he immediately showed a stern look, and punched him back.

"Drink some, this is our favorite wine in Yanzhou."

"When I went to war last year, His Highness wished me to make great achievements and be famous, and return to the court as soon as possible. Now that I am back, Your Highness still remembers the words I bestowed on His Highness."

In the end, Emperor Jianning made the imperial decree directly instead of asking the opinions of all the officials before issuing the decree. This shows that the Sacred Heart has been decided, so unless the decision is too absurd, the ministers dare not really confront the emperor head-on.

Shen Qianwei wanted to stop him, but the Seventh Prince avoided it and insisted on drinking up a pot of wine before giving up.

"The Seventh Highness wants to see the prince. It's really not easy now. There are too many people visiting the grandson in the court, and the mansion is too busy. The Yanhu envoy is coming soon, and the prince is also tired of making arrangements. Tell me what your highness has to say." .”

He knew that it wasn't that the wine in Yanzhou was better, but that the Seventh Prince missed the days of Yanzhou.

When the Seventh Prince was wondering who would come to see him at such a time, he turned around and found that it was Shen Qianwei who came.

Shen Qianwei also had mixed feelings in his heart, he opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

The feeling of suffocation and dying made him angry, scared and powerless.

I don't know if it was because his face was flushed from coughing, or because of some other reason, but at this moment he had a little smile on his face, but he looked like before.

The guard stood in front of him with a smile on his face.

"My wedding date has also been set, March [-] next year." Shen Qianwei said sullenly.

"It's delicious, but Yanzhou's wine is better, much more fragrant than Bianjing's."

At that time, the Seventh Prince in prison didn't know that his brother Chen Wang was planning for him in this way.

Then he waved at him again, then stumbled towards the bamboo boat in the corner, and lay down with his back facing the outside.

Laughing at himself for being reduced to this point, tears flowed, and no one cared.

But the jailers seemed to have not heard the sound, and none of them appeared.

So the matter of setting up the emperor's grandson was settled like this.

The Seventh Prince gasped in embarrassment, feeling numb with pain all over his body, he clenched his hands involuntarily, pinching the packet of medicine powder tightly, eyes full of hatred and sorrow.

Holding the medicine bag, I got up and lay down on the bamboo bed, staring blankly at the ray of light coming in from the window, like a walking dead.

The guard got up, stared at him coldly, and said in a low voice.

After a while, Shen Qianwei spoke first.

After leaving this sentence, he turned around and strode away.

"Okay, I've drunk the wedding wine too. If you have nothing else to do, you can go back. I can't hold alcohol well, you know. After drinking so much at once, I want to lie down and sleep for a while." The seventh prince Smiling and waving.

After lying like this for a long time, a jailer suddenly came over.

The Seventh Prince's face turned red from being pinched, and struggling desperately was of no avail.

Just as Shen Qianwei was about to say something, the Seventh Prince pushed him out of the cell door, and the Seventh Prince himself pulled up the chain next to him and locked the cell door.

And the moment he felt that he was about to lose consciousness, he was let go again.

"Before midnight tonight, if you haven't heard the news, the child in the concubine's womb will definitely be lost. Your Highness can figure it out."

The Seventh Prince hooked his lips, "Congratulations, then this is considered a wedding wine, I'll drink more."

The guard turned his wrist, directly pressed the Seventh Prince to the ground, and grabbed his throat.

Facing his fury, the guard just took a step back unhurriedly.

"Where is Prince Chen, I want to see Prince Chen!" The Seventh Prince's eyes widened angrily.

Didn't Prince Chen push him to do all of this.

He who practiced martial arts all the year round naturally has an advantage over the Seventh Prince who has been in prison for many days.

One punch knocks a man to the ground.

The next moment, a paper bag was stuffed in his hand.

After pulling away some distance, he whispered.

He was the only one who went to prison, Prince Chen was clean, nothing could be found, and the Xu family did not suffer too much loss, and now there is another grandson of the emperor, and the power has returned.

"You wish me everything to be fine as before." The Seventh Prince smiled miserably, and leaned aside in embarrassment, "I let you down, I am sorry for you."

"My little one, let me advise Your Highness, as long as His Highness is willing to cooperate obediently, the prince will definitely keep the concubine and the child in her womb. If you refuse to cooperate, the child will not be protected, but you can rest assured that the prince has always done things cleanly. If the emperor can find out, It has been found out a long time ago, and your words will only be nonsense to pull people's backs, meaningless."

"Grandson, what a grandson, I ended up today, don't you know how much Prince Chen participated?!" The veins on the Seventh Prince's neck popped up, he gritted his teeth and squeezed his fist, "If you want to use me as a stepping stone, I will definitely do it!" I want to pull you to die together!"

There was a muffled bang, and it was the Seventh Prince who punched the guard in the face furiously.

After finishing speaking, he snatched the jug from Shen Qianwei's hand and drank it in big gulps.

"I want to see the emperor, let me out, I want to see the king of Chen, come, come!"

"Xia Cong, Xia Cong!" Shen Qianwei thumped the wooden fence hard, "Turn around to me, do you hear me?"

He shouted loudly, but the Seventh Prince kept his back to him and refused to turn around.

The jailer was attracted by this movement, but he didn't dare to let Shen Qianwei yell like this in the prison, so he half pushed and half persuaded him, and sent him out.

In the cell, the Seventh Prince curled up, tears streaming down his face.

That night, news broke out in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice that the Seventh Prince had died suddenly.
