Chapter 173 Litong Foreign Minister, Luo Side Concubine!
Because it was Emperor Yongping who personally ordered to invite Rong Wang's family into the palace for a banquet.Therefore, although Rong Wang is a person who has always been a 'house', he is unwilling to participate.But Xu Jifei still attaches great importance to it.

Maybe it's because she has no children, no pets and no love, and she doesn't have a cool heart.Concubine Xu Jifei is really indescribably obsessed with power.

Emperor Yongping's decree came from the eighth day of the lunar new year, so from that day on, Concubine Xu Ji began to prepare.

The power of giving in the mansion was held by Luo Chuchen, unable to mobilize his servants, so Concubine Xu pretended to be a 'mother-in-law' prestige, asking for satin and purple smoked silk today, and a glazed emerald crown tomorrow. , Hou'er wants a white sable jade jacket... Anyway, there is no quiet day! !

She even broke into King Rong's study several times, insisting that King Rong attend the palace banquet with her! !
Let’s just talk about the next palace, the county palace is where the hostess and hostess go together...but King Rong insists on going alone, let her be ashamed and don’t say it before others, or show disrespect to the royal family, which will cause trouble for the children...and her !

——To the point where I can't laugh or cry in such a vain manner.

Speaking of which, Emperor Yongping issued an order to invite Rong Wangfu's family to the palace banquet...he, the master of the family, would not go.Of course, Emperor Yongping would definitely be unhappy, but if he went...Emperor Yongping would also not be very happy.

After all, there is a mess in the knees now, the eldest son and the youngest son are dying, and the remaining two are watching the fun, and occasionally intervene in a vain attempt to reap the benefits of the fisherman. The children beat Emperor Yongping like rotten peaches.Seeing King Rong, the younger brother who failed to seize the heirloom (except Xu Jifei), his family loves each other, his father is kind and his son is filial, and he loves his son and daughter-in-law... Can he feel at ease?

Prince Rong, who didn't really want to leave the palace, felt that... he still didn't want to participate in the palace banquet, to stimulate his already fragile brother!After all, he is a small boy who is angry to death, and if he is not angry to death, he is getting angry... This would be very wronged.

Speechless and helpless, Concubine Xu was sent away, and King Rong specially called Shen Cangyu to him, and told him carefully for a long time, only telling him to be careful in everything, and never join the royal family's mess X, and watch the excitement with cold eyes That's it.Anyway, there is no need for the palace to intervene, they will do their best by themselves.Then, why do the people in the Prince's Mansion reach out at such a critical moment... Wouldn't it be wronged if they were cannon fodder?
Shen Cangyu didn't intend to refute King Rong's conservative idea of ​​self-preservation.Although he didn't agree with it in his heart, he knew the life experience of his father, but he could completely understand what King Rong thought.

Moreover, King Rong chose not to attend the palace banquet in the end, it was the result of his insinuating...

In fact, if it wasn't for Emperor Yongping's will, it was written that Wang Shizi and his wife were invited to the banquet together... Shen Cangyu would have wanted Luo Chuchen to stay in the mansion and accompany King Rong.

After all, he is sure that he can protect his own family, and the prince's target must be Emperor Yongping and the rest of the brothers, and he will definitely ignore them, these 'little fish'.But... everything is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.What if the crown prince's brain has a convulsion and he insists on dying together, or simply, what if something happens?
You know, although he has made plans and arrangements in advance, the palace is still the territory of Emperor Yongping and the crown prince, and Beijing has always been strictly guarded. Even if Shen Cangyu mobilized his staff, he still cannot compare with the crown prince, the rightful heir, in the end. Big.All he did was just reaping the benefits of the fisherman.It really made him go into battle shirtless, not to mention King Chang'an and the prince, he might not even be able to compare with King Gong and King Cheng.

After all, most of his influence is in the border army, like the armed forces of the capital... such as the Wucheng Bingmasi, the Beijing Central Camp and so on. Although he has some military officers under him, this terrible business is not real. The trustworthy person, who is willing to do it?
Even if they are willing to do it, Shen Cangyu is not willing to give it! ! !
Who knows whether these people can be trusted or not?
In the East Palace, Luo Chujing got the news that the crown prince was going to rebel on the day of the palace banquet!Shen Cangyu started making preparations early on!In fact, even if Luo Chujing didn't need to remind him, he would have already noticed that the prince might be about to rise up, but he just didn't know when.

The news that Luo Chujing gave him finally relieved his siege.

"The news from Chu Jing? When did you... get in touch with her? Why did she give you the news?" Hearing Shen Cangyu's explanation, Luo Chuchen's face was full of astonishment... his eyes widened!
In other words, ever since Shen Cangyu was given full authority over Luo Chuning's affairs, she didn't pay much attention.After all, Prince Rong's mansion has three to four hundred people and countless property... Luo Chuchen is indeed very busy in order to get hold of Zhongfu as soon as possible and not be taken advantage of by Concubine Xu.

Of course, it is impossible for her not to know about the dispute between the crown prince and King Chang'an outside.But...Shen Cangyu had already told her that it was impossible to tell the truth from the fake for a while.Therefore, Luo Chuchen only asked clearly, knowing that Luo Chuning's life was not in danger, and that his life in Jingzhao Mansion was not bad, so he didn't pay much attention.

In fact, just for this matter, Luo Jinwen and Xu's even came to the door to inquire, or 'inquire about guilt'.Fortunately, Luo Chuchen reacted quickly, no matter how they asked, he simply refused to admit it.Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be a lawsuit!
——At the very least, the prince is definitely going to bite their Prince Rong's mansion.

In particular, it was the Chinese New Year recently, and there were already many affairs.The clan rules are strict, today the princess of this family invites a birthday party, and tomorrow the county chief of that family holds a poetry meeting... As the eldest son and concubine of Rong Wangfu, Luo Chuchen is also very busy.After finally having some free time, she wanted to rest more and cultivate a relationship with Shen Cangyu. She really didn't think much about those outside things.

Anyway, since you are married to Shen Cangyu, you are marrying a chicken as a chicken, and marrying a dog as a dog, so if you believe him, don't doubt him.Shen Cangyu is not a fool, she would never bring the whole family into the ditch.

Luo Chuchen has always believed so firmly.

But—although she has always known that Shen Cangyu is capable, but... this silently 'hooked up' to her cousin, and was able to learn from the prince's side concubine that the prince was about to rebel. Such shocking news ...Luo Chuchen also admired Shen Cangyu.

This is really not something ordinary people can do.

"You and Chu Jing...the last time I came back from the East Palace and told you about her, did you try to contact her? Why didn't you tell me?" The last time I accompanied Xu Jifei to the palace to meet Duan Xiurong— ——When he was beaten, Luo Chuchen met Luo Chujing once, and learned about the prince and Xu Rongcheng from her, and felt sad for several days.

However, Luo Chujing is the side concubine of the Eastern Palace, no matter how the crown prince treats her... her mother's Anling Houfu can't help her out, let alone Luo Chuchen as a cousin.Therefore, she only talked to Shen Cangyu a few words, and later asked someone to send some things into the East Palace, and then ignored it.

Unexpectedly, Shen Cangyu had a relationship with Luo Chujing because of this... Moreover, according to the news Luo Chujing sent him, the prince was going to rebel at the palace banquet... This is really...

"You're really capable!" She looked at Shen Cangyu with an expression of joy and anger.

After all, even if it was toward her husband, Luo Chujing was her cousin after all.As the concubine of the Eastern Palace, she even communicated with the ministers inside and out, and even handed out such terrible news as 'the crown prince is about to rebel.

Absolutely not much better!

"Chen'er, don't get me wrong, side concubine Luo and I...actually got in touch after Emperor Yongping interrogated all the concubines in the Eastern Palace." Shen Cangyu shook her head helplessly, and explained.

It turned out that since Emperor Yongping had questioned the concubine of the Eastern Palace that day and wounded the concubine.The East Palace was completely sealed off!Although Emperor Yongping didn't say anything clearly... but he was not allowed to enter or exit, wasn't it obvious that he wanted to be confined?
In particular, the prince's situation is still so unbearable, and it is difficult to protect himself. Then, the situation of the women imprisoned in the East Palace is naturally even more unbearable.

The Eastern Palace - counting the maids and eunuchs at least a hundred people, all of them were imprisoned in a small place.Three meals a day and all kinds of supplies, although someone brought them in, but the door was closed, but there were guards with swords who approached them with cold faces, and... most importantly, they deliberately delivered three meals From the palace people of daily necessities, they learned that the prince is definitely not in a good situation...

——Simply frighten the servants of the Eastern Palace! !

The masters are in danger of protecting themselves, and the palace people must be even more panicked.Every day, I have to worry about the head of the neck, and the inexplicable resentment towards the masters... The palace people naturally have no intention of serving others.And in the East Palace, no matter if it is the crown princess, side concubines, or even concubines, they are basically from the background of delicate ladies. Without the caring servants, they don't even know how to wear clothes!
Especially the Crown Princess, who was beaten to the bone by Emperor Yongping... At that time, perhaps it was because she had some strength in her heart that she was able to hold on.But after returning to the East Palace, he immediately lay down.Even though Emperor Yongping called the imperial doctor, he was not wrong at all, but he was still in a coma for five or six days before waking up.

Moreover, even if you wake up, you have to lie in bed, or you will feel nauseous, want to vomit, and dizzy...

The East Palace lacks the mistress of the Crown Princess, and the wind and rain are precarious, and people are panic-stricken. It is conceivable... Whether it is the master or the servant, life will not be very good.Especially Luo Chujing, although she is a side concubine, her time in the East Palace is too short, and she has no trustworthy people around her.In normal days, I was squeezed out by everyone, relying on the 'love' of the crown prince and the pity of the princess to gain a foothold, but now... the prince is missing, and the princess is lying down again, and I don't care about her at all...

Even, most importantly, Luo Chujing reported the prince to Emperor Yongping! !Although it was ordered by Emperor Yongping, a mere side concubine dared to sue her husband... Just like what the crown princess thought, after Emperor Yongping realized it, he vented his anger without any hesitation.Of course, he is a majestic emperor, so he would not want to do anything to Luo Chujing, but it is just a daily reaction, frowning occasionally, his confidant eunuch Zhong Siyou, will naturally help him with "caring" It's hard to do.

Therefore, Luo Chujing's life was extremely difficult during the days of confinement in the Eastern Palace!Originally, she thought that after experiencing the "love" of the prince, no suffering in this world could defeat her, no matter how difficult it was, she would persevere through it.But never imagined...

Speaking of which, she was able to live without food and clothing, but for three whole days, except for a pot of cold tea, she was not even given any dry food... This was to starve her to death! ! !

When she felt that living in the East Palace was meaningless, Luo Chujing never thought of ending her life in such a miserable way as 'starving to death'.In particular, she has already filed a complaint with Emperor Yongping, and she is still waiting, laughing at the end of the prince, to avenge herself! !

For the sake of three meals a day and her own life, Luo Chujing finally left the house, but, no matter if it was a eunuch or a palace maid... no matter who she was looking for, she respectfully agreed when she ordered, but they disappeared in a blink of an eye up!She was going to pay her respects (complain) to the Crown Princess, but the gatekeeper's answer would always be: The Crown Princess is still in a coma! !

The concubine next to her couldn't see her, and no one answered when she summoned her concubine... Luo Chujing endured for five days, and finally when she was about to break into the palace in despair... Shen Cangyu contacted her through a secret arrangement in the East Palace.

Ever since Luo Chuchen told Shen Cangyu about the tragic experience of the concubine's cousin in the Eastern Palace, Shen Cangyu had actually ordered the latent Eastern Palace spy to take care of her because she was the daughter-in-law's natal family.The meticulous work is the single mother who is in charge of the small kitchen of the East Palace... Luo Chujing is usually favored by the crown prince, and single mother is a cook, so she can't help her side concubine, but occasionally eats some medicinal food to help her recover.But now, seeing that Luo Chujing was about to starve to death if she didn't make a move, Nanny Shan had no choice but to find a way to contact Luo Chujing, and the two began to "depend on each other" in the Eastern Palace enclosure.

Although Nanny Shan didn't tell Luo Chujing who she belonged to, she didn't hide it much.Although Luo Chujing was simpler, she was not stupid.From her daily speech and posture, I can also feel where this person's heart is heading.However, since people didn't admit it, she acted as if she didn't see it, and simply regarded Shan Nanny as a kind-hearted person, and couldn't bear her hardships, so she helped her.

Two people... one old and one young, just help me like this, and I will help you survive the days of confinement in the Eastern Palace.Later, the prince and the king of Chang'an fought at the palace gate, and almost beat the human head into a dog's head.Taking advantage of age and childhood training... King Chang'an was scratched all over his face by the crown prince.Emperor Yongping was furious and ordered the two to return to the palace to contemplate their mistakes.

King Chang'an was ashamed and panicked, and returned to the palace to thank the guests behind closed doors.And the prince... who has not been deposed, will naturally return to the East Palace! !

As a result, everyone in the Eastern Palace, who had been imprisoned for more than half a month, welcomed back their male master——Prince Shen Dai.

Back to the East Palace... The crown prince seemed to have lifted the ban, completely ignoring the comfort of the concubines who were shocked and frightened, and even the injured crown princess didn't even take a look at it. He just stayed in the study with his confidant with a gloomy face every day Here, I don't know what to talk about.

However, even if he is full of conspiracy and thinking about changing the day all day long, the prince is still the lustful prince.In the East Palace... no matter the side concubine or the concubine, they were all shocked and frightened after suffering this crime, and the prince looked down on none of them with his quail-like sallow face.When it comes to Luo Chujing, she is white and fat raised by Nanny Shan, with a fat face like a baby, it's so cute to look at! !

Originally the prince liked her, but now it's even more serious. She has to wait on her every night, whispering by the pillow between intimacy... Naturally, it's inevitable that she will hear a word or two.Mother Shan sympathizes with Luo Chujing at such a young age. Whenever the prince is busy during the day, she will secretly come to Luo Chujing's place, help her apply medicine, and talk with her...

Luo Chujing originally wanted the prince to die, but now that she was tortured again, and she didn't know how long it would take, she really wanted to die with the prince directly.Nanny Shan took care of her, but her identity was obviously different... So, after learning the news that the prince was going to rebel, she hurriedly told Nanny Shan about it.

Then, Nanny Shan turned around and sent a secret letter to Prince Rong's residence.

——In Shen Cangyu's hand.

After receiving the news from Madam Shan, combined with what she had heard... Naturally, Shen Cangyu understood all the prince's arrangements.Even, on his basis, some additions were made.

For example: According to the prince's arrangement, his targets are basically Emperor Yongping and King Chang'an... and the two younger brothers, King Gong and King Cheng, were obviously not taken seriously by him, and he just ignored them.But not compared to the status of the prince, as far as Shen Cangyu is concerned, even if the two county kings are incompetent, but in the end they are the blood of Emperor Yongping, and they are all more straightforward than him, so naturally they cannot be easily let go.

What the prince didn't notice, he has to help find it, doesn't he?
"Cangyu, are you... sure about this matter?" Hearing Shen Cangyu's words, Luo Chuchen slightly pursed his lips, inevitably becoming nervous, took a deep breath, pushed down the bronze mirror, and turned back with a straight face Asked: "Even if the crown prince wants to rebel...but he is weak and hastily acted, the chance of success should not be great!!"

"In my opinion, he acted like this because he was unwilling to give up the position of prince to King Chang'an just like that!! Emperor Yongping has been emperor for so many years, how can he be overthrown so easily? Or...Cangyu, what do you have? Other arrangements?"

She looked at Shen Cangyu and asked cautiously.

"Chen'er, you don't have to worry. I have already arranged this matter. It doesn't matter whether the crown prince succeeds or not. Rebellion and rebellion will not involve you and me, and we can always stay out of it." Shen Cangyu stroked Her hair, chuckling assured.

"That's it..." Luo Chuchen lowered his eyes, nodded and said, "Then I can rest assured!"

It was getting late, and seeing that the time was coming, Dan Qing came outside to report, Xu Jifei had already sent people to urge them several times!Luo Chuchen simply got up, put on the imperial concubine's gown, and turned to look at Shen Cangyu, "Cangyu, let's go!"

Shen Cangyu stood on the plain, frowning and looking at her, his eyes were worried, as if hesitant, he said in a low voice: "Chen'er, I'm sure I won't hurt you for what happened today. Yan, you don't know how to punch and kick, I'm really worried, why don't you stay at home and don't enter the palace!"

"Cangyu..." Hearing what Shen Cangyu said, Luo Chuchen raised the corners of his mouth and couldn't help smiling, "I know you're worried about me, but Emperor Yongping's imperial decree stated that the prince and concubine should be allowed to meet in person. I’m going! I won’t go for no reason, how can you explain to Emperor Yongping!!”

"It doesn't matter, I have my own way!" Shen Cangyu frowned, looked at Luo Chuchen... and finally said as if she had made a decision: "Forget it, I am really worried, you should report your illness and stay at the government office Let's go!"
