Chapter 238 Dragon Robe and Dragon Crown
This is an early morning with flying clouds and lightning.

For this day, a group of people who share the same hatred gathered quietly at the Prince's Mansion on the night when the Prince was placed under house arrest at Lingxiaotai, and made a decisive decision.

"There are no big external problems now," Shen An said: "The courtiers go to court every day as if they are being punished. They don't know how soon the head on their neck will be taken away. It will be fine if they die, and they will be executed at every turn. Three tribes, nine tribes. Everyone hates Cao and his gang. If we want to get rid of them, no one among the ministers will object."

"King Kang is with them. King Kang relies on Cao Baoli to ascend to power. We have to join Cao Baoli. He will not just sit idly by so easily." Shen Congxi reminded her father.

"That's right, King Kang's power in the court should not be underestimated. If they come forward to defend Cao thief, there will probably be a fight." Sun Yang nodded in agreement: "However, those people are basically based on King Kang, Pei Shangshu and Ye Shangshu. They take the lead and just follow along. Without them, the rest would not be in danger."

Yan Shiyi smiled and said: "That's easy to handle. The night before, I went to cover up Prince Kang and beat them so hard that they wouldn't be able to go to court the next day."

Sun Yang was stunned and said: "This... is also a way."

"Don't you have itching medicine?" King Cheng asked with a smile: "Is it enough to make King Kang, Shangshu Pei and Shangshu itchy for a day and a half?"

Zhao Muzhe also remembered that last year, Cao Baoli was unable to go to court for a few days because of the itching medicine. He put his hands and smiled and said: "Yes, yes! The cause of the disease cannot be found, so it's the best."

Yan Shishi nodded and said, "Okay, let me solve this matter." Later, the three people were all the same. One had diarrhea for a day and a night, one was beaten after returning home from the morning, and the other one was beaten in the middle of the night. He started scratching until his flesh and blood were so bloody that he couldn't even put on his clothes.Anyway, they were all absent from the early morning meeting when the incident occurred.

Sun Yanxi smiled and said: "The evidence I have is enough to convict them of death. Now the emperor is very suspicious. As long as they pick the one thing that the emperor is most concerned about, their charges will be confirmed. Half a month ago, the Cao Mansion found someone to buy a maid. , we took the opportunity to let one person in. Guess what she found recently?"

Sun Yang knew it. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip and said, "God helps me. It's a pity that the prince didn't find it before he was trapped, otherwise the prince wouldn't have to suffer this crime."

"There is a complete set of dragon robes and crowns hidden in Cao's mansion. The style is old-fashioned. I think the emperor replaced it and no longer used it. Cao Baoli took it home to have fun. In the morning of that day, I used it to pay tribute to him. Ben, Lord Zuo of the Central Army took Jingwei to the Cao Mansion to raid his house at the same time, and he got the stolen goods!" Sun Yanxi said directly without showing off.

"Okay!" Fan Yongcheng and the new Minister of Rites, Wen Cunzhi, cheered at the same time: "Convict him of treason, and let them taste the taste of treason themselves!".

"Habayashi Guard, Jing Guard, Fifth Army Battalion, and Shenji Battalion are all our people. If the dragon robe is not enough for the emperor to kill them, we will also prepare soldiers to remonstrate. I am responsible for this matter." Zhao Xiaohou said firmly.

"The most difficult thing now is to let the emperor come to court that day." King Cheng said.Although he is a prince, he can't see his father either.Not to mention, he persuaded his father, who was addicted to elixirs every day, to come to court.

Prince Chu, who had been silent, thought of someone.The only ones who could enter the palace were Crown Prince Qi and Prince Cheng, but they were not allowed to walk around the palace at will. They could only go to pay their respects to their mother-in-law or the Queen Mother.

"I'm afraid, we need to discuss this with the Crown Princess." Prince Qi looked at King Cheng and said.

Prince Cheng thought for a while and said: "The Crown Princess goes to pay her respects to the Queen Mother on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of March. I and the Crown Prince will also go to the Queen Mother's Palace to pay their respects. Then, you will see the Crown Princess. ." Sure enough, the two of them met the absent-minded Crown Princess outside the Queen Mother's Palace.

"It can be done. There are two people in the harem that we can use to help." After hearing their words, Haitang immediately became energetic: "The first is the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother complains of illness, the Emperor will definitely come to visit her. Then she will have the opportunity to discuss it with the Emperor. It’s a matter of going to court. If the Queen Mother knew that Cao Baoli had rebellious intentions, she would not tolerate it."

"Then there is the queen. The Taoist concubine is the queen's person. The reason why the queen went to great lengths to place people beside the emperor is because she hopes more than anyone else to take back the emperor from Cao Baoli. The queen also wants to overthrow Cao Baoli. So the queen can also use her strength." Haitang has spent a few days in a state of confusion, and is finally looking forward to taking action. How can she not be excited?
King Cheng nodded with a smile and said, "That's right! We went in together, but the queen mother became suspicious, so I asked my sister-in-law to find a way to pass through the queen mother and the queen, and make sure that the emperor will go to court in two days."

Haitang nodded and said: "Don't worry. After everything is done, I will ask Chang Le to report to the Prince's Mansion."

The prince didn't say anything. He only said in a low voice when he was saying goodbye: "You should also pay attention to your safety. Take care of yourself and don't let him worry about you."

Haitang smiled and nodded. Looking at Prince Qi's face, she suddenly remembered something. She quickly stopped them and asked, "Is Irgen still in Kyoto? Is he here to present a new map to the Celestial Empire?"

Prince Chu nodded: "Originally, it was supposed to be presented two days ago, but the prince was imprisoned due to an accident, and the people in the court were panicked, so the matter was not mentioned. Irgen still lives in their own house."

Haitang smiled: "Then please go back and tell him to come to court that morning to present the map. The emperor will go to court." The Crown Prince and Prince Cheng looked at each other and smiled: This is a small matter, but it is important no matter how small it is. Regarding diplomatic relations, the Crown Princess is really good at planning!
When the Queen Mother heard from Haitang that there was a dragon robe hidden in Cao Baoli's home, she became furious. She said directly: "Cao Baoli has died! What do you want me to do?"

Haitang whispered a few words into the Queen Mother's ear, and the Queen Mother nodded and said, "That's right, I just used this excuse in order not to alert the enemy. Has Prince Wala agreed?"

"As agreed, Prince Irgen has been in the capital the whole time, and the Oara people have sent the re-divided territory map of Tatar and Oara." When Haitang came in, she suddenly remembered the conversation Xie Ruitang had with her a few days ago when she was still at home. Something happened.

After finishing speaking, Haitang knelt down and kowtowed: "Baitang also knows that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but for the sake of the emperor who is being kidnapped and the prince who is under house arrest, Haitang has to do this even if he risks his own life!"

The Queen Mother hurriedly asked Miss Zhu to help Haitang up: "What are you doing? I didn't blame you. You are still pregnant with the emperor's grandson. Why are you kneeling!" After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she suddenly understood what Haitang meant. He smiled and said: "You little clever guy! You really know what is said. I will leave it to the Queen to tell you, so don't worry about it."

Haitang nodded with a smile.

After coming out of the Queen Mother's Palace, Haitang went to the Queen's Palace to say hello as usual without saying a word more.

Seeing that the prince had been under house arrest for a few days, the queen didn't want to have anything to do with the East Palace, so after a few words of pleasantries, Haitang retreated.
