"Fortunately, the prince was confined to the palace and was not allowed to participate in government affairs. His Highness was still the head of the court."

"The case of exchanging death row prisoners was clearly divided, and the emperor did not blame His Highness."

"The court still asks for His Highness's opinion on important matters"

"Now the ministers in the court are discussing that if the East Palace does not recover, Your Highness Prince Yu, you will soon become the Crown Prince.

Qin Banruo congratulated in advance.

"What's the point of discussing this? If the emperor really wanted to do this, he wouldn't have chosen Cai Quan."

"I really don’t understand, it’s so easy for Jingxuan to be a crown prince, why is it so difficult for me, Xiao Jingheng!!!"

"Now that the Eastern Palace has fallen, all the ministers are obedient to me, but what about my father?"

"But it always seems so close but not so close, and so far but not so far."

Prince Yu was in low spirits, and extremely frustrated at the moment.

What he couldn't understand the most was that he had finally defeated the crown prince and demonstrated his ability, but why couldn't he become the crown prince? Even his father was suppressing his power.

It was the first time that Qin Banruo saw Prince Yu like this.

In the past, Prince Yu always had a domineering and heroic aura, but now, Prince Yu was just a wounded little beast.

The next day. In

Prince Ming's Palace. In the parade ground.

On the stage for selecting generals, Xiao Jingli sat on the Qilin throne and watched the soldiers training below.

In addition to the 500 people guarding and patrolling the palace, the remaining 2,500 people were all training.

"Roar!"

"ha!"

"kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"The third round of salvo, fire!"

"Whoosh........."

"Left iron!"

"The end is here!"

"Our old batch of 1,000 soldiers have been trained for so many years and are already the elite in the army, but they still lack some murderous aura."

"In a few days, they will have a chance to kill the enemy. You will lead the troops in person and don't let me down."

Xiao Jingli instructed

"Yes, I will definitely not let Your Highness down," Zuo Tie said excitedly.

""Your Highness!"

Luowang's personnel came over.

Seeing this, Zuo Tie stepped down from the command platform and walked towards the thousand veterans, and started to train them himself.

"explain!"

"Your Highness, yesterday Emperor Liang was visiting the Imperial Garden and smelled the scent of medicine, so he stayed overnight in Zhiluo Palace. Today Emperor Liang issued an edict to promote Concubine Jing to Consort Jing."

"In addition, Emperor Liang ordered the Crown Prince to leave Guijia Palace and return to the East Palace to reflect on his mistakes."

"The third decree ordered Prince Yu to receive the Nanchu delegation and be responsible for all protocol matters."

"Now the Nanchu delegation is not far from Jinling."

"This is the conversation in Zhiluo Palace last night."

The Luowang staff said, holding a document.

Jin Bao took the document and handed it to Xiao Jingli.

"Got it, let's go down"

"Yes!"

Xiao Jingli opened the document and started reading:"My father is really old. He actually talked about the situation in the court with the women in the harem."

"Prince Yu is indeed a bit pitiful. His power has been greatly damaged, and only a superficial appearance remains. However, even these superficial appearances make my father wary."

"If it were me, I would have arranged for my own people in the court to oppose me many times, and then privately recruit civil and military officials with great momentum to accumulate strength."

As he said this, Xiao Jingli closed the document and threw it on the table.

He knew that with Concubine Jing's whispering, Prince Jing would gain power.

Soon, after Prince Jing completes his task, it will be my turn.

Su's house.

By the pond.

Mei Changsu is fishing.

Zhen Ping stood behind and reported:"The prince has moved back to the East Palace, which shows that His Majesty does not intend to pursue such a big matter as the private gun room."

Mei Changsu picked up the teacup and took a sip:"In the heart of our emperor, how to stabilize the court is the most important thing, what do the lives of the people count for?"

"The Nanchu delegation is about to enter the capital, right?"

Zhen Ping nodded:"Yes!"

"Alas, Jingrui's birthday is finally here."

Mei Changsu sighed.

Outside the city of Jinling, the Nanchu delegation was traveling quickly.

At this time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a lovely and spiritual girl stuck her head out and asked in a soft voice:"Brother Xuan, have we arrived in Jinling?"

"We have arrived. Jinling is just ahead."Yuwen Xuan responded.

"Hehe, this is gold"[]

"Brother Xuan, do you think we can........."

Before Yuwen Nian finished speaking, Yuwen Xuan said with a smile:"Don't worry, Master Chen said before we left that your wish will definitely come true."

""Hmm, hehe."

Yuwen Nian laughed happily.

Imperial Palace.

Yangxin Palace

"This is the gift list that Nanchu presented along with the letter from the empire."Eunuch Gao gently placed it on the dragon table.

"snort!"

"Nan Chu took the initiative to make friends, which may bring blessings or disasters!"

"Um?"

"Oh, by the way, how long has Nihuang been in the capital?"

Emperor Liang asked, leaning on the dragon chair.

"Well, it hasn’t been a year yet." Eunuch Gao responded

"Not yet?"

Seeing Emperor Liang frowning, Eunuch Gao replied:"Well, it's been more than half a year."

Emperor Liang nodded and said:"She has been away from Yunnan for too long."

Eunuch Gao agreed:"Yes, Nanchu, an important city in the southwest, has always been full of ambitions. The princess has not returned to take charge for a long time, which really makes the court uneasy."

Gao Zhan's words confirmed Emperor Liang's idea:"She should go back.""

"But let's not both of them go back."

Eunuch Gao bowed his head quickly:"Your Majesty is wise!" Dark clouds gradually rose in the sky, and light rain fell from the sky.

"The Nanchu delegation had just arrived in Beijing, and His Majesty sent me back to Yunnan."Nihuang looked at the raindrops outside, feeling very reluctant.

"The sudden arrival of the Nanchu envoys in Beijing must have made the emperor suspicious. How could he be at ease if you were not in the southern border?"When Mei Changsu learned about the envoys, he had already anticipated today's decree.

"The decree said that Mu Qing had just inherited the title, and the Empress Dowager couldn't bear to let him go, so she asked me to go back and keep Qing'er."Nihuang said

"Ah!"

"Does this count as keeping hostages?"

"In the heart of our emperor, there is no one he can truly trust."

Mei Changsu has long seen through his uncle, the emperor.

"Qing'er was furious, and so were the people in the Mu Mansion. But I was already heartbroken."

"I am actually more stable than them."

Nihuang sneered and said

"You have independently supported the Yunnan Palace for many years, so you are naturally more stable than them."

"But you are still worried about Xiaoqing, aren't you?"

"I will never let anything happen to him."

"Don't worry."

Mei Changsu assured.
