Chapter 299 Thunder 2

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Such a big thing happened in the palace, and those who are well-informed outside the palace also know about the changes in the Pepper Room.

Unfortunately, the Pepper Room was sealed tightly, and even a fly could not fly in, let alone find out the news.

The prince called the crown prince to the study room for a long secret talk.

The crown prince clearly knew what was going on, but pretended to be ignorant on the surface, and only whispered to comfort the prince: "Father, this is a matter in the palace. The emperor grandfather handled it this way, obviously not wanting people to know. In this case, let's pretend that we don't know! So as to avoid the emperor grandfather from being afraid."

The dragon has reverse scales! Since the emperor has such an attitude, it is better to be sensible.

The prince thought for a moment and had to admit that what the crown prince said made sense: "Well, let's wait and see! In five or six days at least, or one or two months at most, the truth will come out."

The crown prince's eyes flashed, and he whispered: "No matter what, this matter seems to be quite beneficial to us. The one who is really anxious now is the King of Yan."

Once Empress Xu fell, the King of Yan's biggest backer was gone. The King of Yan alone was no match for them.

As for Princess Changping, she had been bewildered by the ****, and was conspiring to get rid of Prince Consort Xu, so she didn't care about what happened in the palace.

The prince's brows also relaxed, and he smiled and nodded and said: "You are right. The one who is anxious to find out what happened in the Pepper Room is the King of Yan, and we don't need to get involved."

The father and son looked at each other tacitly and stopped talking about this topic.

The prince suddenly asked, "Ayao, are you and Rongyue getting along well?"

The crown prince suddenly heard this and his expression was a little stiff: "Why did father suddenly ask this?"

The crown prince sighed lightly: "I shouldn't say too much about your young couple's affairs. However, Rongyue is not only your wife, but also the only daughter of Duke Ying and my niece. Don't be too cold to her. Otherwise, wouldn't it be cold to Duke Ying's family?"

The two have been married for less than two months, but there is not much love and sweetness of newlyweds. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

The crown prince's face flushed slightly after being scolded by the crown prince, and he whispered: "Father reminded me, son knows."

After all, it was a private matter between the young couple, and the crown prince didn't say much, just said lightly: "You must remember that Rongyue is your original wife. Only when she gives birth to a legitimate son can you marry a concubine."

The crown prince was silent.

The crown prince obviously misunderstood and thought that he wanted to marry Ling Jingshu as soon as possible.

Little did he know that this was just his wishful thinking. Ling Jingshu had no intention of marrying into the Prince's Mansion.

Such a big thing happened in the Pepper Palace, and Ling Jingshu was inevitably implicated. Life in the palace must be very difficult now. I only hate that he, as the grandson of the crown prince, dared not and could not save her at this critical moment.

He never expected that Wei Yan really did everything he promised!

…

Yan Wang Mansion.

The atmosphere in the study was unusually heavy.

There was no smile on Yan Wang's handsome face, and his eyes were gloomy. The staff sitting below also looked solemn.

After a long time, the King of Yan finally broke the silence: "The news came out from the palace, saying that my father has been staying in the Pepper Room. The Imperial Guards have blocked the Pepper Room, and no one can find out what happened inside."

"Everyone, tell me, how should I deal with it now? Should I go to the palace to visit my mother immediately?"

The staff looked at each other, and finally someone gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this. The situation in the palace is unclear now, and we don't know what happened in the Pepper Room. If you rush into the palace, what if you anger the emperor? "

"Yes, please think twice before you act!"

"Perhaps, the queen has some rare disease, and the emperor is worried, so he sealed the Pepper Room and accompanied the queen in person..."

The King of Yan swept his eyes and fell on the face of the staff who said one thing and meant another, his eyes full of sarcasm and coldness: "Do you think I am a fool? At this time, you are still saying such useless nonsense!"

The staff's smile froze, and he couldn't say anything.

There are no fools here. The Pepper Room was suddenly sealed, the emperor killed people in the Pepper Room, and the female officials were locked up in the sky prison. All these abnormalities mean one thing.

Something big happened in the Pepper Room! The emperor is in a rage.

What Queen Xu is sick is pure self-consoling nonsense.

The King of Yan looked at the silence of the staff, and the anger in his heart burned more and more vigorously.

What could happen to Queen Xu? The staff didn't know, but he, as a son, knew it very well! The eunuchs he kept must have been noticed by his father!

You can imagine how angry his father would be now.

If he went to the palace to plead for Empress Xu, his father would probably not be soft-hearted.

But just waiting like this would make him even more passive!

Empress Xu's position as empress could not be saved. No matter what, he had to beg his father to spare Empress Xu's life. Cover up this scandal tightly. Otherwise, how would he, the Prince of Yan, have the face to go out and see people in the future? Not to mention competing for the position of crown prince!

Prince of Yan quickly made a decision: "I will go to the palace to visit my mother now!"

...

The staff could not dissuade Prince Yan from making his decision.

When Prince Yan walked out of the study, the figure of Princess Yan unexpectedly appeared in front of him, with a firm face: "Your Highness, I want to go to the palace with you."

King Yan wanted to refuse, but then he thought, as the daughter-in-law of Princess Yan, it was only right for Princess Yan to visit Queen Xu in the palace. It would appear that he was guilty if he did not take Princess Yan with him.

"Okay, you will enter the palace with me."

This short sentence moved Princess Yan to tears.

After the excitement of their wedding, King Yan became increasingly cold towards her. She was worried, but there was nothing she could do. This time something happened in Jiaofang Palace, she had been waiting outside the study, hoping that she could impress King Yan.

King Yan was so preoccupied that he did not care about Princess Yan's thoughts. After getting on the carriage, he remained sullen and silent.

Princess Yan cautiously opened her mouth and asked: "Your Highness, do you know what happened to your mother? Why did your father seal off the Jiaofang Palace and not allow anyone to enter or exit? I also heard that the palace people in the Jiaofang Palace Many died..."

King Yan gave her a cold look, with anger and hostility in his eyes: "Shut up! If you keep talking, get out of here immediately!"

How could he be in the mood to say this at this time!

Princess Yan was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything anymore, tears welling up in her eyes. But it hasn't fallen yet.

There was a suffocating dullness in the carriage.
