My life is like walking on thin ice

Chapter 30: Thank you behind closed doors

This time, the Phoenix Palace really closed its doors and thanked guests.

——The emperor issued a decree: Li Ji, the mother of the emperor’s eldest son, failed to teach her son well. She was fined a year’s salary and banned from the Phoenix Palace!
——The eldest son of the emperor, Rong, the second son, De, and the third son, Yu, are so arrogant and domineering that they have been banned indefinitely to think about their mistakes!

When the news came out, the court was silent, and there was silence both inside and outside the court.

Almost everyone thought that the eldest son of the emperor was really going to wave goodbye to his position as prince this time.

It's just that in the aftermath of this incident, there are some very interesting details that have not been paid attention to by people.

First of all, as Liu Rong's "arrogant and domineering" accomplices, those eunuchs who came from the Phoenix Palace and followed Liu Rong's order to kill the female official did not receive too serious punishment;

Not only did he not lose his life, but he was also sent to Liu Rong's side as a 'punishment', with the euphemistic name of being grounded while staring at the eldest son of the emperor, in order to atone for his sins.

Secondly, while Liu Rong was "indefinitely grounded," the imperial physician's family also sent several imperial doctors to diagnose and treat Liu Rong's injuries in his lower back and hamstrings.

The most critical thing is: the body of the female official who was beaten to death was neither ordered to be restrained by Liu Rong nor taken away by Qilan Palace;

Just outside the Qilan Palace, the emperor's personal officials stared at him for three days before being thrown into a mass grave outside Chang'an City.

During this period, Mrs. Wang sent people more than once to take away the body that was hanging out in the air outside Qilan Hall like a slap mark.

But in this regard, the old eunuch who was the emperor's personal assistant only answered one sentence.

——Since it was not Madam’s instigation, this person is no longer from Qilan Palace.

After waiting nervously for three days, until the body disappeared outside the palace, Mrs. Wang finally called her younger brother Tian Fu from outside the palace with anxiety.

It was not until Tian Fu walked into the palace and appeared in Qilan Palace that the fear that Mrs. Wang had accumulated for many days was finally released...

"How's it going outside the palace?!"

The first time he saw his younger brother Tian Fu, Wang Ao didn't even bother to say hello. He just hurried forward and grabbed Tian Fu's arm tightly!

Seeing how panicked his sister Wang Da was at this time, Tian Fu only had a stern look on his face and shook his head solemnly.

"The eldest son of the emperor really frightened many people..."

"Although being grounded by His Majesty made many people think that the eldest son of the emperor had caused a big disaster and had no way to recover from it. However, many people also believed that the eldest son of the emperor acted like a human being..."

As Wang Ao's most trusted supporter from his mother's family, he could even be said to be the vanguard of the tenth prince Liu She's fight for the heir apparent. Especially as a businessman, Tian Fu saw many things more clearly than most people.

The emperor's eldest son is grounded?

It sounds scary, but in fact, the eldest son of the emperor had just been hit and was still injured;

Even if he is not grounded, he will definitely rest on the couch in the Phoenix Palace after returning to the palace.

As for Li Ji being grounded, it sounded like she was being punished, but Tian Fu could tell with his knees that the eldest son of the emperor must be very happy at this time.

——While I was worrying about how to stop my mother from causing trouble, the Emperor's order of confinement was delivered at the right time. How could the Emperor's eldest son not be happy?
After considering the "grounding" of Liu Rong, Emperor Qi also did not forget to send an imperial doctor to treat Liu Rong, as well as Emperor Qi's follow-up handling of this matter...

Tian Fu could easily come to the conclusion: This time, Emperor Qi seemed to have severely punished Liu Rong and his mother, but in fact, he only lifted them up high and put them down gently.

On the contrary, Qilan Palace seemed to have received no punishment, but in fact...

"Has Your Majesty visited my sister in the past few days?"

The solemn question only made Wang Quan shake his head with anxiety: "No."

"Your Majesty has never been to Erjiao (xǔ)."

Just these words made Tian Fu close his eyes full of bitterness, sighing and slowly shaking his head.

For women in the harem, many things can actually be judged as good or bad based on this;

——Afterwards, did the emperor come?

Take this incident as an example. If Emperor Qi really believed that Qilan Palace and Wang Quan were not at fault, and that the eldest son Liu Rong was solely responsible for the entire incident, then Emperor Qi would definitely come to Qilan Palace after the incident.

Whether it is gentle words to soothe or subtle beatings;
Even if you don't mention a word about what happened, just come and walk, sit for a while, and talk about some meaningless family affairs, it can still explain a lot of things.

But Emperor Qi did not come.

Not only did Wang Quan, who had been "wronged and humiliated," not come to see Wang Erjiao, who was pregnant with a son and a grandson, and Emperor Qi did not come to visit him.

In this way, the nature of this matter in Tianzi Qi's place is clear at a glance.

"This time, I'm afraid even His Majesty is disappointed in my sister..."

A sigh full of regret finally made Wang Quan take a deep breath in annoyance, but he couldn't hold back his fear, so he clenched his back molars angrily.

"That bitch, you really hurt me..."

As soon as these words came out, Tian Fu was immediately stunned and said in disbelief: "Didn't my sister secretly instruct this matter?"

But Wang Quan snorted with disdain: "Am I that stupid?!"

"Even if you want to design it, you're not stupid enough to send your own servants to do it?"

"——That bitch didn't make the decision on her own!!!" "If I had known it earlier, I could have found a way to make up for it, so I wouldn't be so passive!"

After hearing what Wang Ao said, Tian Fu let out a long sigh, and his already bitter face became more sighing.

"yes……"

"No matter how stupid my sister is, she will never be stupid enough to send people around her to do such things openly."

"——Earlier, I was still wondering: that day, how could the eldest son of the emperor be so happy to kill the female official on behalf of his sister."

"It seems that even the eldest son of the emperor has known about this matter for a long time, and it has nothing to do with my sister..."

After saying that, Tian Fu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then said meaningfully: "I'm afraid in the past, we all misjudged the emperor's eldest son."

"Judging from what happened this time, the eldest son of the emperor is definitely not a kind person..."

Xu Shi had Tian Fan by his side and said what he had been holding back in his heart. Wang Ao also gradually calmed down from his panic.

Hearing Tian Fu's words again, he took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression: "After all, he is the eldest son of the emperor and half-quasi-heirloom."

"If we don't even have this means, it will save my siblings a headache."

"Ugh……"

"——If that bitch is still alive, I can send her to your majesty to prove my innocence."

"It's just that there is no proof now. Even though I have the intention to prove myself, I can't defend myself..."

Following Wang Da's angry words, the two siblings fell silent.

It is obvious: Wang Quan was caught off guard by Liu Rong in this incident, and it can even be said that he was unable to fight back.

The matter has reached this point, and there is no point in continuing to entangle it.

The wisest thing to do is to deal with the matter coldly, break the teeth and swallow blood, and suffer the loss of being dumb.

As for the future...

"Princess Guantao, are you on the line?"

After pondering for a long time, Wang Quan finally asked softly, which made Tian Fu smile bitterly.

"We did meet him once."

"Just seeing this, I paid him a fortune worth a thousand dollars;"

"Listen to the meaning behind the words. If you want to negotiate that matter, I'm afraid..."

Hearing the complaint in Tian Fu's words, Wang Quan couldn't help but his eyes darkened, and he said leisurely: "Do you, the Changling Tian family, still lack this little yellow and white thing?"

"Isn't my son Zhi worthy of your Changlingtian family spending some money?"

Then Tian Fu chuckled and scratched his head unnaturally.

"See what my sister said;"

"——Although my sister and brother have different surnames, they were born from the same mother."

"When the pig grows up, he still has to call me uncle."

"It's just that my sister also knows that even though my Tian family has a great business, I, the young master, still don't have the final say."

"It costs thousands of gold. If I can't exchange for it, I can't explain it to my clan members?"

At the end of the sentence, Tian Fu's tone was vaguely filled with hope.

In this regard, Wang Quan will not pretend to be stupid.

He just took a deep breath and looked indifferently in the direction of the palace door, as if talking to himself, making his promise to Tian Fu.

"The end of business as a merchant is not the right path after all."

"You never know when a certain noble family member or a certain prime minister will raid the house and destroy the ancestral hall."

"In the past few years, brothers have to think carefully about how to deal with that huge property in the future."

"——No matter what, the great uncle of the state could have entered the court as an official, been granted the title of marquis and became the prime minister."

"If you are still willing to degenerate and become a businessman, you will eventually make people laugh..."
