Chapter 107: Everything's About to Change!

t her carefully, his eyes filled with concern. "Child, you've suffered. It's good to be back, everything will be alright with your uncle here."Liu's eldest son, Liu Ziheng, and Mr. Wen both offered co...Without mentioning the young eunuch in the palace desperately trying to mentally prepare himself, let's just say that everyone in Earl's Mansion was soundly asleep.

Wa'er, with her children, maidservants, and wet nurses attending to her, moved easily within the inner courtyards. 。The front yard was where Li Laoer brought Cat Brother, today Mr. Wen and Liu Ziheng also came together to chat and drink, when it was time to leave, it was too late, they all stayed overnight. 。 Lao Er Li slept soundly when he was suddenly awakened by Zheng He's soft voice calling outside the door, "Master, Master, wake up!" Lao Er Li immediately sat up and asked, "What happened" "Master," said Zheng He as he pushed open the door, "the three foxes are back!" With that, a small fox darted into the room. 。Li Laoliu immediately hugged the little fox, Zheng He also quickly lit the candles on the table. 。The little fox whimpered pitifully, huddled in Li La Er's arms, acting cute. She held out her tiny paws, showing off how hard she had worked traveling at night. 。Li Laoer smiled and personally opened a small box, taking out a bag of jerky. 。The little fox was immediately delighted, jumped onto the table, stretched its neck, and scratched at the collar with its paws. 。Li Lao Er quickly twisted his collar, in just a few moves he took it off. 。The little fox lay down, hugging the chicken leg, and ate it deliciously. 。Li Lao Er took the paper scroll from inside the dog collar, unfolded it and glanced at it. His face changed instantly, and he whispered orders. 。Zheng He, please bring Mr. Wen and Mr. Liu here, do not disturb anyone. 。"Yes, sir. " 。Zheng He didn't know what was happening, but he still quietly slipped out. 。

In a short while, Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng, both bleary-eyed from sleep, were called over

Mr. Wen is doing well, but Liu Zhiheng drank too much alcohol earlier and is now holding his head, feeling very unwell. 。 Just as Liu Zhiheng entered the room, he asked, "Master, what's going on Couldn't you wait until dawn to talk about it My head is splitting!" Li Laoer didn't respond, only instructing Zheng He, "Guard the door well. No one can approach this room." 。Zheng He nodded and quickly closed the door. 。Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng, upon seeing this, also had a hint of surprise in their expressions. 。Li La Er took out a bottle of pills from the small box under the table, ate one himself, and then pushed the rest towards Mr. Wen and Liu Zhi Heng. 。This was personally made by the county princess, it has an excellent effect in relieving alcohol intoxication. 。Eat quickly, we have something important to discuss. I can't think clearly on an empty stomach. 。Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng quickly picked one up and stuffed it in their mouths. 。Liu Zhicheng couldn't stand the stagnant atmosphere in the room and whispered jokingly, "The county princess cares most about you, her dear second uncle. This解酒丹 pill, she has never given it to us..." 。Li La Er waved his hand, "The medicinal herbs are rare, there are only a dozen or so made altogether." 。“Having said that, he pushed the paper over and instructed the two, “Look, the princess asked San Tiao to send this back.” 。“

News from the palace

Mr. Wen and Liu Ziheng were both startled and quickly huddled together to read it.” 。The more they looked, the paler their faces became. 。"This... the new capital is probably going to change drastically" Liu Zhiheng trembled as he asked. 。Mr. Wen also took a deep breath and replied, “This matter is of great importance, no wonder the County Magistrate sent a message back overnight.” 。“ Li Laoer also nodded, “The county princess is the most intelligent. Perhaps she had long seen something was amiss, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed in the palace all this time” 。Unexpectedly, such a big event happened. 。"Why is the Consort acting like this The Emperor only has one son, the second prince. In a few years, that throne will belong to the second prince anyway. What's she in such a hurry for" Liu Zhiheng scratched his hair in bewilderment. 。The Liu family is a hundred-year-old prestigious family with both wealth and connections. 。But who wouldn't want a peaceful life, wouldn't they prefer excitementEspecially when imperial power changes hands, isn't each time fraught with crisis and bloodshed!Mr. Wen frowned and replied, "A peach in the hand is worth ten on the tree." 。No one can guarantee there won't be any variables if you haven't actually gotten it in your hands. 。"Now that the Marquis is on a northern campaign and the Empress Dowager is being suppressed and dares not move, if the Emperor were to die at this time, the Second Prince would immediately be pushed onto the throne." 。"I have to say, the timing is really perfect." 。"Li Lao'er got up and walked around the room a few times, then said, "Now that the Emperor knows he's been tricked, the Noble Consort won't have things her way." 。We've been keeping a low profile at home lately, observing the situation and waiting to see what happens. 。“ Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen both nodded.” 。Liu Zhiheng said again, "The Emperor has few heirs. The Noble Consort is likely to die soon, but the Second Prince will be fine." 。Even to save the Second Prince's face, they had to paint a rosy picture and wait for some time before letting the Consort "die of illness." 。Therefore, we mustn't neglect the Second Prince. 。Even if you don't look at the present, pave the way for the future. 。"Are you going to try and contact the Second Prince" Mr. Wen exclaimed, stopping him. "Shouldn't we wait a little longer After all, the Emperor is in his prime..." 。"Besides, this time being plotted against was discovered in time, and the Emperor's Dragon Body should not have suffered too much damage." 。“At least Tianwu still has ten years of peace…”

Liu Ziheng helplessly replied, “It’s not that our family is in a hurry to grab the limelight. It's that all the prominent families in this new capital are calculating, and many have already taken action..." 。"Especially recently, the Noble Consort has been favored, and the Emperor stays in Rong Hua Palace every day. Almost everyone speculates that the Empress will soon 'pass away', and the Noble Consort will become the successor. The Second Prince will then be established as Crown Prince. It's almost inevitable." 。The rest is unimportant, the only thing I know for sure is that six or seven of the housekeepers have already gone to Rong Hua Palace. 。

A few days ago, the second prince wanted to learn music theory, and three great scholars successively recommended themselves to the emperor...

Under such circumstances, if our Liu family doesn't plan carefully, I'm afraid that after the new emperor ascends the throne, our Liu family will fall from grace.

Mr. Wen frowned and suggested, "You should go back tomorrow and discuss it with the old master. It's best to wait a little longer." 。After seeing how the Noble Consort ended up, you'll know the Emperor's attitude towards the Second Prince. 。Liu Zhicheng also knew that Mr. Wen was doing this for the Liu family's good, so he nodded in agreement, "Okay, I will definitely discuss this with my father." 。Having said that, he couldn't help but sigh, "Back when Jiangbei was overrun by barbarians and we fled to the south of the Yangtze River, we lived in peace for over ten years." 。Now that the North Bank is about to be retaken by the Duke, and there's more trouble brewing in the palace, it's simply impossible to live peacefully. 。"Alright, don't complain anymore" 。Mr. Wen, fearing Liu Zhiheng hadn't fully sobered up from his alcohol, cautioned him once more, "This matter was a risk taken by the County Princess to send out of the palace. You must absolutely not reveal any trace of it, allowing others to see and causing trouble for the County Princess." 。It is best to let things take their course and not interfere. 。" Don't worry, I'm not stupid either. " 。"Liu Zhiheng waved his hand and smiled, “If you didn't know the inside story, that's fine. Now that you understand, who would jump in” 。But this day still belongs to the second prince. If the opportunity is right, we should make a move! Li Lao'er had been silent all this time, listening. Suddenly, he spoke up, "Have you ever thought about it The emperor has few children, and now there are only three princesses and the second prince who are growing up well…" 。"Even the third princess's marriage is irrelevant, let alone a woman's. A woman's marriage has nothing to do with succession to the throne." 。"But the Second Prince is weak and not particularly intelligent. Why isn't the Emperor ever worried He hasn't chosen a concubine, nor is he in a hurry to have more princes." Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen were stunned, as if they wanted to say something, but in the end, their faces turned pale! Today's two updates are up ~~hearted, she just can't harden her heart.But everyone loves her and cherishes her, isn't that precisely because of thisJia Yin, carefully dressed in her finest attire, was carried home by Grandma He.L...
