Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 398 Calculation and Warning

Liu Changfeng went back then, but some people couldn't go back, like Liu Changyuan at this moment, he couldn't go back at all.

"Second brother, you should think of a solution. The fifth brother has chosen to help the eldest brother. What should we do now? Should we just admit defeat?" Liu Changyun said

"Old Third, don't worry. I know what you mean, but some things are not that simple. Don't you find it strange?"

"Everything was fine before, why did Lao Wu suddenly stand out? Why did he stand out so blatantly? Do you think he really believed what he said?"

"Let alone us, even the boss won't believe that. After all, it seems to be correct, but in fact it is full of loopholes."

"Even if he really wanted the child, he would definitely make the choice after the child was born. How could it be so soon? Is he really so anxious that he can't wait even a few months?"

"Old Five must have his own plans. If we take action against Old Five now, we will fall into the trap set by the eldest brother. Don't forget that Old Five has no chance."

"Even if we bring down the fifth brother, what will happen? Will it cause any loss to the eldest brother? If we fight with the fifth brother, both of us will suffer losses, and the prince will only benefit." Liu Changyuan said

"Well, second brother, even if you are right, but now that Old Five has stood there so blatantly, it won't do if we don't react at all." Liu Changhe said

"Fourth Brother, I know this, but Fifth Brother's child is not born yet. At this time, although he is nervous, he has no weakness."

"If anything happens to his child, he will fight us to the death, so we can't move now. We have to wait until his child is born." Liu Changyuan said directly

"Brother, I don't understand. As long as we don't do anything to his child, why should we worry about this? Aren't you being too cautious?" Liu Changhe said

"Fourth Brother, we can stop people from dealing with that child, but you can control our own people. Can you control the prince's people?" Liu Changyuan asked back.

"Hmm? Second brother, what do you mean? Wait, what do you mean?" Liu Changhe said

"You guessed it, right? Yes, that's what I mean. Fourth brother, if we have a conflict with the fifth brother, the crown prince will definitely take advantage of the situation. After all, he doesn't trust the fifth brother now."

"What do you think the prince will do when faced with such a good opportunity?" Liu Changyuan asked

"Oh, I see. That's what I thought. You are right, second brother. We really have to be on guard and not let the boss's conspiracy succeed." Liu Changhe said

The three brothers settled the matter in this way, and this did make Liu Changsheng a little depressed. After all, he had actually arranged the means long ago and was just waiting for them to take action.

But now, the second brother and his men are still delaying action, so all my preparations will be in vain. No, if they succeed, I will be in even greater trouble.

At this time, Liu Changfeng was sitting in the study with a gloomy face and asked Liu Quan.

"Who arranges Madam's diet? How many days have you been eating so many tonic foods? Was it decided at the beginning, or was it changed later?" Liu Changfeng asked directly.
"Your Highness, this lady's meals have always been arranged by the kitchen, and all kinds of ingredients have been carefully checked, but the arrangement of this recipe is arranged by the imperial chef." Liu Quan said
"Imperial chef? Where did this imperial chef come from? Whose man is he? Was he arranged by my father or my mother? Never mind, it's useless. Just keep a close eye on him." Liu Changfeng said

At this time in the imperial study, Emperor Xining was also frowning. Looking at the secret report in his hand, he was so angry that he put down the secret report and asked someone to call the prince over.

When the prince learned that his father had summoned him, he naturally did not dare to neglect it, so he hurriedly got up and went to the imperial study. However, after entering the imperial study and paying his respects, he found something wrong.

Because this time, his father did not even let him get up. He couldn't help but think carefully about what he had done wrong recently to make his father so angry.

He had just thought halfway when he realized there was no need to think anymore because his father had already given him the answer.

"Hmph, take a good look, take a good look, look at the good things you have done. You are truly my good son and a good prince of the court!" Emperor Xining threw the secret report directly over.

The prince hurriedly picked it up, and when he saw the contents on it, his face suddenly changed, because it clearly recorded the relationship between him and the royal chef.

"Father, Father, I am innocent. This is all false accusations. Someone is framing me. I hope you will see clearly, please see clearly, Father." The prince knelt down and said
"Humph, frame-up? False accusation? Why, who are you trying to accuse of? Are you going to tell me that this was all done by your second brother, your third brother, and your fourth brother?"

"Changsheng, you really disappoint me. Why did you do this? Are you so anxious? Do you want me to give you this position now?" Emperor Xining asked.

"Father, please calm down. Father, please calm down. I have absolutely no such intention. I have absolutely no such intention, Father." Liu Changsheng said

"I have no such intention. I have no such intention, Changsheng. Why didn't I realize before that you are so narrow-minded? Can't you tolerate your brothers?"

"Forget about the three of them. I have already made things very clear at the beginning. There is no way that Changfeng will compete with you. Why, why don't you let him go?"

"Why? Do you think there's something wrong with him suddenly standing up? Let me tell you, not only do you think so, I also think it's wrong, but so what? This is not a reason for you to harm your nephew!"

"Changsheng, remember this, this is the first time and the last time. If you are so careless next time you want to be promoted, then you should abdicate and let others take over. Get out!" Emperor Xining said angrily.

After hearing this, the prince didn't dare to say a word. He bowed quickly and then hurriedly left the imperial study. Emperor Xining looked at his son's departing back with disappointment in his eyes.

From his heart, he did not object to his sons fighting, because the more they fought, the safer he would be, but what he could not accept was that his sons were stupid, especially the crown prince, who must not be stupid.

A grandson or a granddaughter is of no importance to him, but whether the prince is stupid or qualified is very important to him.

So the reason why he was so angry just now was not because he might have a grandson or granddaughter to die, but because the prince's methods were crude.

How could he believe that such a prince could be a qualified emperor?
But Liu Changfeng was not in such a good mood at this time, because Liu Quan told him bad news, which made him furious.

"What did you say? The imperial chef died? How and when did he die?" Liu Changfeng asked. "Your Highness, I don't know exactly when he died. I only know that he died in his room early this morning. There was something wrong with his room last night." Liu Quan bowed and said
"Hmm? Nothing unusual? He died so quietly. Haha, it seems that the person behind this is really powerful. Okay, you can get out first."

"Remember, Madam, you should eat lighter food from now on. By the way, let Liu Yuru be responsible." Liu Changfeng said

After hearing this, Liu Quan immediately bowed and walked out. After he left, Liu Changfeng's face became extremely ugly.

Because he knew very well that the only people who could do this so quietly in his own palace were his father's men, that is, his spies.

But why did they do so much? Why did his father give such an order? He couldn't figure it out. Did his father intend for him to have no descendants? But that didn't make sense.

Everything was fine before, and there was no reason for it, but if it wasn't my father, who else could it be? Only my father could mobilize those people, no one else could.

But now that the situation has become like this, it means that the order was given by my father, but this imperial chef was not arranged by my father. This is the only explanation.

But if that was the case, then who was going to harm him? Could it be his second brother and his friends? This was a strong suspicion, but he always felt that it was unlikely.

But even if he didn't want to doubt, he could only suspect the second brother and the others. It couldn't be that the prince sent someone to do it, right? Wait, the prince?

When he thought of this, he immediately became alert. Yes, then he couldn't be the crown prince? Why did he think he couldn't be the crown prince?
Yes, not only I think so, but others will think so too. After all, there is no benefit for the prince to do such a thing, so why should he do it? After all, I am his man now.

Thinking of this, he felt that he had guessed the truth. The prince did this on purpose, and was leading him towards the second brother, so that he and the second brother could fight to the death.

That’s right, it must be like this. Prince, oh prince, I really underestimated him. Now that the mastermind has just appeared, he naturally cannot sit and wait for death.

Although he could not deal with the prince openly, he could still use this incident to clean up the mansion. He did it as he thought and immediately called Liu Quan.

"Now, arrest all the people who were found to be problematic in the previous investigation, and hang their heads at the Nine Gates for public display."

"Also, kill all their family members that you can find, leaving no one alive! If anyone dares to harm my child, they must all die!" Liu Changfeng said angrily.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. If you do this, you will be impeached by the civil officials." Liu Quan said
"Impeach? Whoever dares to impeach me, I will kill him too! I don't believe that there are so many people who are not afraid. Send them all out, and keep some people from all the censors."

"Whoever dares to submit a petition will be killed immediately. I'll see who dares to stop me this time!" Liu Changfeng shouted like crazy after hearing this.
Liu Quan was also frightened after hearing this, and dared not to persuade him anymore. He retreated obediently. As Liu Quan began to act, the entire palace became chaotic.

In less than half an hour, all the people with problems were caught.

Following Liu Quan's order, these people's heads fell to the ground and their blood covered the area in front of the palace gate. That's right, Liu Changfeng asked Liu Quan to kill these people in front of the palace gate.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Quan mobilized all his personal soldiers, and even transferred some from outside the city, to guard directly in front of the gates of the censors' offices in the Censorate. They did nothing but stood there quietly.

Afterwards, the entire capital city fell into chaos, because Liu Quan began to order the capture of the nine clans of those people. For a time, the capital city was filled with rivers of blood.

Such a big commotion naturally could not be hidden from Emperor Xining. At this time, Emperor Xining looked at the memorials in front of him and did not move for a long time because he could not move.

He knew very well why his son did this. He was expressing his dissatisfaction to him as a father. He could not interfere and he had to let his son vent his anger.

Otherwise, there will inevitably be internal strife between the brothers in the future. He knows his youngest son very well. He is a very capable son and not a waste.

So he couldn't do anything about it, and his silence, in a sense, represented a lot of things. After hearing the news, the court officials completely gave up the idea.

Even in the Censorate, no one stood up to speak. After all, the emperor clearly didn't want to intervene, and plotting against the royal family was a huge offense.

If they stand up at this time, they will most likely be accused of being an accomplice, and then not only will they lose their lives, but also their reputations, so no one cares about them at all.

If they don't care, then naturally no one else will care. And if anyone is the most nervous at this moment, it must be the prince, after all, he was the one who did it.

It can be said that this turmoil was entirely caused by him. How could he not be nervous?
However, the reason why he was nervous was because he was worried about his father's impression of him, not because he was worried about being suspected. After all, it was obvious that the second son was the one who did it, so how could he be suspected?

In fact, the three brothers were indeed a little confused at this time. They had thought that Liu Changfeng might do something out of line, but they didn't expect it to be so out of line.

So at this moment, they didn't know what to say for a while. After an unknown amount of time, Liu Changhe couldn't help but said, "Hey, brothers, why don't you say something?"

"Old Four, what do you want us to say? What else can we say in this situation? Old Five is obviously crazy now. If anyone tries to stop him at this time, it will be a fight to the death."

"Didn't you see that the emperor has acquiesced? Even if the situation gets serious now, we can only talk about it after everything is over. So what's the point of saying more now?" Liu Changyun said

"Fourth brother, the third brother is right. It is useless to say anything at this time. What the crown prince did this time has been taken care of by our father."

"Even if Lao Wu doesn't know this, he can definitely guess that it was the work of our brothers. So instead of saying something useless now, it's better to wait."

"We'll wait until Lao Wu is done making trouble and see the result. No matter what we do now, it will appear that we are guilty." Liu Changyuan said

After hearing this, Liu Changhe stopped talking. After all, even if he didn't want to admit it, it was useless. These words were right, and this was the current situation.
