Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 306 The End of Taifu Lou
At this time, Jiang Chong, who had received the decree, had already brought people to Lou's house. When Tutor Lou learned about it, he naturally went out to greet him. When he learned that His Majesty wanted to see him, he felt very strange.

After all, even if His Majesty summons him, it shouldn't be Jiang Chong who tells him? No matter what, it had to be Cao Cheng. So he immediately became wary.

Naturally, Jiang Chong would not start adding insult to injury before everything was settled, so naturally he would not tell His Majesty what he had said before.

Taifu Lou followed Jiang Chong into the palace, and soon arrived at the imperial study room. When he saw the scene in the room, Taifu Lou's heart skipped a beat.

Because the prince and Ling Buhuo were both here, it was obvious that the prince had done something. Looking at His Majesty's gloomy face, everything was too clear.

When Emperor Wen saw the people coming, he had no intention of testing. After letting Jiang Chong go out, he said directly, "Lou Aiqing, take a look at this first. After you finish reading, we will talk about other things."

After speaking, Emperor Wen directly threw the confession to Taifu Lou. This move naturally made Taifu Lou's heart sink. When he picked it up and looked at it for a while, his expression suddenly changed.

"Your Majesty, this is impossible. This matter has nothing to do with me. How could I come up with such a vicious plan? This must be framed by someone. I hope your Majesty will be aware of it." Taifu Lou said.

"Lou Aiqing, what you said seems to mean something. However, the evidence is there and I cannot allow you to deny it. I just ask you, is Fan Yong a servant in your house?" Emperor Wen said directly.
"Your Majesty, Fan Yong is indeed a servant in the palace, but he had an emergency half a month ago." As Taifu Lou said this, he knew in his heart that he was being plotted against him. And the person who plotted against him must be Ling Buhuo!
But he knew it was useless, because according to common sense, the first person His Majesty would suspect about poisoning the third prince was definitely Ling Buhuo.

Now all the evidence shows that this matter has something to do with him. In this case, if he tells Ling Buhuo, it will actually help him.

Unlike Emperor Wen's husband and wife, who were playing the piano and playing the piano in harmony, the atmosphere between the prince and Ling Buhuo in the East Palace at this time could be said to be tense.

This also made the prince very depressed, so he glared at Ling Buhuo and then left the imperial study. Ling Buhuo just smiled when he saw this and followed him out.

And this also touched his heart. This girl is still so considerate. She was like this back then, and she is still like this now. She is so sensible and heart-warming.

"Your Highness is ridiculous. Everything I have done is just to prepare for a rainy day. I have been pessimistic since I was a child. In anything, I will lose before I can win. Naturally, it will be the same this time."

"What? It's Taifu Lou? He, he is really cruel and cruel!" Concubine Yue said in surprise.
"Okay, okay, Heng'er, everything is over. I have handed him over to Tingwei Mansion. With the relationship between Ling Zichen and him, he will not end well." Emperor Wen comforted him.
As soon as Concubine Yue heard this, she wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth but said nothing, because if she did, it would inevitably involve the prince.

Taifu Lou continued to shout that he was wronged, but it was obviously of no use.

So since all the evidence points to Lou Jing, no matter if it is him or not, it must be him. After all, a Taifu is more convincing than Ling Buhuo.

"Ling Zichen, I really underestimated you before. You must have prepared everything today, right? Otherwise, how could it go so smoothly?" the prince asked

After all, compared to Lou Jing, although Ling Buhuo was pretty good, he was still far behind.

"Haha, you went half a month ago? Lou Aiqing, Lou Aiqing, you are really, really interesting. Isn't it just a coincidence that this person is missing?" Emperor Wen asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, this, this matter really has nothing to do with me. I was really framed. I hope your Majesty will investigate clearly." Of course Tai Fu Lou would not admit it.

If the prince was involved at this time, it would definitely make His Majesty unhappy, so she couldn't say anything. In fact, Emperor Wen had been waiting for his concubine to speak.

Judging from the current situation, all the evidence points to Lou Jing, so whether it is him or not, it can only be him, although he does not believe it in his heart.

"That's enough. I don't want to listen to your sophistry anymore. Ling Aiqing, I will leave this person to you. I will give you three days to find out everything!" Emperor Wen said directly
The three people who heard this were stunned. After all, the three of them knew very well that Ling Buhuo was also a suspect now. He was responsible for interrogating Taifu Lou. They didn't believe anyone who said that His Majesty had no conspiracy.

"Okay, now that the matter has been found out, you should all go back." Emperor Wen said
After speaking, Emperor Wen stood up and walked away without giving the prince any time to hesitate. When the prince mustered up the courage to say something, he could only see his father's back.

At this time, Emperor Wen had obviously lost his patience. He didn't want to know who the real murderer was. As long as it wasn't his son, it didn't matter who he was.

After all, this imperial study room is not a good place in the first place. If he were left here alone, he would be seeking his own death. Naturally, he would not be that stupid.

But even if there is collusion in this kind of thing, he can only deal with one person. After all, his son is innocent, and the prince cannot be without someone to help him. This is not fair to his son.

"So I don't deserve your highness' praise. Your highness, please rest assured that the poison on the third prince's body is not that simple. The current solutions given by the imperial doctors are all solutions to the original poison."

He was even ready to explain, but what surprised him was that after waiting for so long, he didn't even wait for his nephew to speak.

However, after leaving the imperial study, Ling Buhuo did not leave the palace. Instead, he followed the prince into the East Palace. At this time, Emperor Wen had already told Concubine Yue about the matter.

And this is absolutely impossible. After all, the death of the queen left a layer of protection for the prince. Only as time passes slowly, this layer of protection will disappear.

"But what I asked you to prepare this time is an improved one, so the third prince is destined to be incurable. Even if he is lucky enough to survive this time, he will have no chance to compete with you."

"After all, how can a prince whose temperament changes drastically at every turn become a crown prince and an emperor who rules the world?" Ling Buhuo said directly.

"Zi Chen, you did a good job this time, but is there really nothing the Taifu can do?" the prince asked.
"Go back to Your Highness, there is actually nothing you can do, but the cost of doing so will be very high, so I do not recommend that you do this." Ling Buhuo bowed.

"Oh? I don't know what the solution is? Can you tell me?" The prince asked quickly after hearing this.

"Your Highness, the way is for you to go to His Majesty alone and tell him the whole thing. In this way, the Taifu will be safe and sound." After Ling Buhuo finished speaking, he stared at the Prince. After hearing this, the prince quickly understood that he had no chance to save the prince, or in other words, Ling Buhuo had already blocked his escape route.

To say that he cares about Taifu is inevitable, but the reason why he cares about Taifu is because of the position of prince and the future throne.

If he were asked to give up the future and save the Taifu, he might have done so in the past, but he would no longer do so, and he would never do so in this life.

So he knew that it was impossible for Taifu to be saved. When he came back to his senses, he happened to bump into Ling Buhuo's eyes. He was shocked and knew that something was wrong.

"Well, in that case, let's forget it, Zichen. Since my father has left the Taifu to your disposal, I guess you must know my father's intentions."

"So I won't say anything unnecessary. I only have one request, and that is to end this matter as soon as possible. No matter what the final result is, I just want it to end!" the prince said
"Your Highness, please rest assured. I know what to do. I will go back and deal with it now. I will never let Your Highness down." After saying this, Ling Buhuo bowed directly, then turned and left.

Looking at Ling Buhuo's back, the prince felt a deep sense of frustration in his heart, because he had to go down step by step according to Ling Buhuo's plan, which made him very uncomfortable.

But now Taifu can no longer be saved. The only one he can use now is Ling Buhuo, so he can't do anything to Ling Buhuo.

At least, before he ascended the throne, he couldn't move Ling Buhuo, so he was very upset at this time, so he thought about going out for a walk, but he met his beloved concubine as soon as he went out.

"My beloved concubine, what are you planning to do?" the prince asked.

"Your Highness, I planned to go over to find you, but who knew you had already come out? Let's go shopping together?" the Crown Princess said with a smile.

After hearing this, the prince didn't say much, but nodded directly, and then the couple started walking in the Love Garden again, and naturally they couldn't just walk around during this period.

"Your Highness, I have heard everything. You must be careful. Concubine Yue will not give up. We must be more careful next time." The Crown Princess said.

"Well, my beloved concubine, what you are saying is that we should really be more careful. It's okay for me. As for you, madam, you are the one who has the most contact with the Yue Concubine on weekdays." The prince said
"Your Highness, please rest assured. I know this, and I will be more careful." said the Crown Princess.

The prince didn't say anything after hearing this. For a while, neither of them spoke. After a while, the prince finally said, "Your Highness, I should be happy now. Does it look like you, my concubine?"

"My dear concubine, what happened this time was indeed worthy of joy, but the current result is not what I wanted, so naturally I am a little upset." The prince said solemnly.
"Your Highness, are you worried about Ling Zichen? After all, I remember that Your Highness said before that he is very ambitious. Could he be the same this time?" the Crown Princess said.

"Yes, I am indeed considering Ling Zichen. Concubine, you don't know something. I originally followed my plan, but who knew that Ling Zichen turned the situation around."

"So, now it's my turn to worry about what happens in the future?" the prince said.
"Your Highness, actually you don't have to think about it so much. After all, it seems like a trouble now, but when you look at it again in the future, it may not be a trouble at all."

"Don't we still need him right now? So no matter what he does now, just let it go. When the time comes, there will naturally be solutions, right?" the Crown Princess advised.
"I understand this, but I am just worried. What if he has ambitions? That will not happen in the future." The prince worriedly said
"Your Highness, I think you don't have to worry so much. After all, my father is not an ordinary emperor. He is favored by God. Even if Ling Buhuo has the intention, he doesn't have the courage."

"As for the future? I think that your Majesty will definitely arrange everything in the future, but now that the third prince has gone through this calamity, he has no chance."

"So you don't have to worry about what other ideas he has." The princess said

After hearing this, the prince felt a little relieved. People are like this, and they understand the truth, but when things really happen to him, it is not the case.

The current prince is naturally the same, and he understands the truth, but once things go beyond his expectations, it will still be like this. What he says is much better now is just his own imagination.

At this time, Ling Buhuo didn't know that the prince had so much on his mind, and he didn't have the heart to think about the prince. He was busy meeting Taifu Lou now?
"Ling Zichen, I admit that I have underestimated you after all. I never expected that I would end up like this."

"You win, you can do whatever you want. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. There is nothing to say." Taifu Lou said

"Haha, Tutor, actually you don't have to be like this. In the final analysis, what happened this time is still the conflict between the princes, and His Majesty's face will be disgraced."

"So His Majesty will not go to war, because then there will be a stain on him, which will be recorded by the historian."

"And this is definitely what your Majesty least wants to see. After all, your Majesty is the destined emperor who is favored by heaven. His brilliance is enough to overwhelm a court and make other courtiers eclipse."

"So don't worry, your lineage will naturally not survive, but the second wife can continue to live."

"In this way, the incense of your Lou family will not be cut off, right?" Ling Buhuo said.

"What you are saying is that His Majesty is indeed the right one. Throughout the ages, no one can match him. Ling Zichen, I am actually very curious. Did you plan to do this from the beginning?" Ling Buhuo said.

"Haha, you may not believe me when I tell you, Taifu. In fact, I didn't intend to do this at the beginning. All of this was forced by the prince. It was originally according to my original plan."

"I planned for the three of us to plan it together, but the prince doesn't want you to know. He wants you to stay out of the matter and wants to protect you, and this means that I will be unlucky." Ling Buhuo said
