The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 461 Chapter 464 The First Prince

Bai Zhi asked again: "Yanhuang should be controlled by someone, but to prove it, an interview is needed, so as to be further sure, and also to find the root cause and prescribe the right medicine to eliminate it."

Shangguan Yunfeng shook his head and said: "It is difficult to conduct a face-to-face diagnosis. You cannot enter the palace to meet the emperor. He may have been a hostage in the Xia Kingdom for a long time, so he is particularly cautious and vigilant. Even if he summons the ministers, he must stay at a very far distance. "

Bai Zhi smiled nonchalantly and said, "I'll figure it out, but I need the general's help."

Shangguan Yunfeng nodded and responded: "Mrs. Liu just said that as long as I can do it, I will definitely help. To be honest, Xiaoyao and the seventh prince are my close friends. It's just that because of my special status, the seventh prince is worried that he will give me It brought unnecessary trouble, so I didn't get particularly close to them on the surface. And I also wanted to hold on to the military power in my hands and one day be able to protect the seventh prince. I know that many people want to harm him, just because his mother-in-law is Xia Chinese, he is the emperor’s favorite prince.”

With these words, Bai Zhi felt relieved.

"The general believes that apart from the seventh prince and concubine Liu Gui's second prince, there is the most deserving but least hopeful candidate to be crowned heir."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yunfeng nodded unconsciously and sighed suddenly: "This question is on point. Why didn't I think of it before? I just focused my eyes on Liu."

Then he fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he said: "Then it must be the First Prince."

Shen Changyan asked from the side: "Eldest Prince? Didn't I hear that he is in poor health and stays behind closed doors all year round?"

Shangguan Yunfeng shook his head with a wry smile and said: "That's the story, but it's not actually the case. The eldest prince is the emperor who came back from Xia Kingdom. Before he became emperor, he got drunk and went with the maid. At that time, the emperor only loved concubines. It's not that she was drunk, nor would she spoil the maid. As a result, the maid was lucky enough to be pregnant. Unexpectedly, Concubine Wan's child was gone, but she gave birth to a boy. The emperor and empress were very happy, but the emperor But I suspect that this child squeezed out the child in Concubine Wan's womb."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi asked in a funny tone, "How can you think so? Concubine Wan Guifei didn't keep the child. Is that because Emperor Yan took her to escape from Xia Kingdom and traveled a lot, so she had a miscarriage, right?"

"Who says it's not, but the emperor loves Concubine Wan, and Concubine Wan lost her child and hurt her body, so she naturally blamed the maid and the son she gave birth to. If the emperor hadn't tried his best to protect her at that time, the child might have died. Not anymore. Later, when the emperor ascended the throne, Concubine Wan Gui tried her best to persuade her, so she gave the maid a concubine, but she was given the concubine Xian. To say that she is Concubine Xian actually means to dislike her, so even if she is a concubine, she is still not treated well. See, naturally no one likes the eldest prince." Shangguan Yunfeng said with a bit of indignation on his face.

"The eldest prince is really in poor health?" Bai Zhi asked tentatively.

Shangguan Yunfeng shook his head and replied: "The eldest prince is very smart, physically strong, and has excellent martial arts. But he does not cause trouble. He does stay in his own courtyard all day long, guarding his mother and concubine, and almost lives in isolation from the world. days. I heard that they grew vegetables and raised chickens in the front and back yards, and were self-sufficient. Everyone in the palace looked at them differently. The concubines were given things every month, but they received very little despite their lack."

Bai Zhi heard this and asked again: "What about now, does the emperor still ignore him?"

Shangguan Yunfeng smiled: "It's much better. When it comes to festivals, the First Prince and his mother and concubine can also participate. But the behavior of the two is extremely timid. Those who don't know think they are servants."

Bai Zhi nodded, unconsciously falling into deep thought.

"Could the First Prince be like when Emperor Yan was in Xia Kingdom, keep a low profile and wait for the opportunity?"

Shangguan Yunfeng did not refute or respond, and seemed to be considering this possibility.

"Have you never thought that this might be the result? After all, no one is willing to be bullied for the rest of his life. It is even easier to be squeezed and bullied, and the easier it is to fight." Seeing his expression, Bai Zhi said, I understand that he may never have doubted that the eldest prince will also participate in the fight for the reserve.

"I really didn't expect it. Maybe they have always been a ignored type of people, so they are easily ignored." Shangguan Yunfeng told the truth: "I have never heard of similar ideas."

But Bai Zhi sighed softly: "I think it is more likely that the eldest prince is behind the scenes. It would be fine if he is really weak and incompetent, but he is not only physically strong, but also very smart. How could he be willing to be subordinate to others and have no desire for the throne? ? After all, the absolute power over ten thousand people can completely reverse the humiliating treatment he received since he was a child, but if other princes become the new emperor, then their mother and child will end up in a worse situation, this eldest prince will never think of it."

Shangguan Yunfeng nodded and said with a fearful look on his face: "I really haven't thought about this. Except for the occasional appearance, the eldest prince has almost no contact with the outside world. We have all forgotten about him, and we can only sympathize with him when he is mentioned."

"The more this happens, the more opportunities he has to make himself stronger. During the time he hides, no one knows what he is doing." Bai Zhi said.

Shen Changyan didn't feel a serious expression on his face.

In the past, Bai Zhi was also the daughter abandoned by Bai Yan and his wife, and she was left alone in the village in the countryside.

As a result, she has become such a powerful person now that even he doesn't feel willing to bow down.

Who can guarantee that the eldest prince is not the same?

What's more, if the eldest prince suffers greater humiliation, his natural resilience will be greater.

All three were silent.

Shangguan Yunfeng broke the silence first and said, "Wait for me to find a chance to explore the situation."

Bai Zhi hurriedly stopped her: "Don't do it, lest you alert the enemy. Even if you meet the eldest prince, you must pretend that nothing is wrong. How you were before is how you are now, otherwise the clues will be seen. This kind of thing will definitely be seen. People often have twisted characters, extremely dark psychology, sensitive and vindictive minds, but you have no way to guard against it.”

Hearing this, Shen Changyan felt that it was ridiculous for him to compare Bai Zhi to the eldest prince just now.

Who is Bai Zhi and who is the eldest prince, there is no comparison at all.

Bai Zhi is kind and upright, and she does everything for the sake of the common people, while the First Prince is a wolf that hides in the dark and bites people, violent and selfish.

Shangguan Yunfeng asked very worriedly: "If it is true as Mrs. Liu said, then the situation is not good. We don't even know what the eldest prince's current situation is. How can we deal with the next dilemma and find out the sudden death of the seventh prince?" The truth, and even the truth about Yan's sending troops?"

Bai Zhi smiled at him: "Don't worry, leave these to me and Young Master Liu."

Seeing her confident look, Shangguan Yunfeng immediately felt at ease, nodded and said, "Okay."
