Author: Fragrance is all over the world

Seven days have passed since the abolished imperial edict was announced to the world.

However, the group of princelings were still struggling to survive. As a result, not long after, an imperial edict deposing the prince came to the prince's mansion. From then on, Dashun only had the eldest prince and no more princes.

So these people who had placed their chips on the eldest prince ran away one by one, cursing and in such a manner that they wished that everyone in the world would know that they had renounced their relationship with the eldest prince.

The eldest prince didn't care. He had no interest in politics and could only recite poems and write poems all day long.

In Huo Lianjun's eyes, his son's obsession with poetry and calligraphy was simply unsatisfactory. Dashun wanted a prince who was capable of literary and military skills and strategizing, not a scholar who could only talk on paper!

For this reason, Huo Lianjun spent a lot of time to secure his son's position as prince and win over many of his party members.

What is needed to win over people’s hearts?

It's nothing more than money and power.

Liangzhou Prefecture in the northwest was a fiefdom awarded to the Huo family by the emperor. The mineral vein was discovered by the Huo family in the 53rd year of Dashun. At that time, the head of the Huo family, Huo Qiong, was already dying.

Lazarus lay on the bed and was served by his servants.

Huo Qiong knew very well that none of the younger generations of the Huo family could hold a big position, and the only one with some brains, Huo Lianjun, was a woman.

No matter how unwilling he was, Huo Qiong had to face the reality. For the continuation of the Huo family's glory, when news came that the mineral veins had been dug out in the fiefdom, he hesitated.

After struggling for a few days, Huo Qiong decided to take the mine for himself.

Later, with the money exchanged from the mineral veins, the Huo family prospered, and Huo Lianjun was the first to give birth to a prince and became the queen.

The steady stream of money obtained from the mineral veins supports the Huo family, a dying centipede.

Until today, this secret was not known to the emperor.

Huo Lianjun's dream was suddenly shattered. She had planned before that, in the future, when the emperor could no longer afford it, she would take out this mine in the name of her son.

By then, there will be more and more people supporting the prince, and by then, who else can compete with her son for that position!

It's a pity that the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by ant nests.

Huo Lianjun regretted so much that she had not killed Lin Rongyan more than ten years ago!

She doesn't feel that she has done anything wrong. If she had known today, she would have killed all those who threatened her in the cradle!

But everything was a foregone conclusion. No matter how much Huo Lianjun cried and begged, she could not get the emperor to see her.

Later, the news came that the Qiu Queen of the Huo family was to be killed.

At first, Huo Lianjun could still arrogantly instruct her servants to do this and that in the cold palace. Soon everyone knew that she was helpless, so Huo Lianjun's good days came to an end.

But she refused to accept the reality of being reduced to a waste. She thought of her son who could only recite poems on weekdays. She used her remaining money to bribe the guards to send a message to her son, hoping that he would save her.

As a result, the eldest prince did something that shocked everyone!

The eldest prince went to court as usual and knelt down in the court hall, intending to deprive himself of his status as a prince and go to Suzhou Mansion to live as a commoner. He was willing to guard the land that raised the Lu family for the rest of his life, so as to redeem the death of his mother.

Like the sin of a concubine's son.

Everyone knew that the emperor valued filial piety and brotherhood the most. Thinking of Concubine Ru and the child, the emperor was silent for a long time and finally agreed to the eldest prince's request.

After that, Dashun even lost his eldest prince.

I just don’t know how Huo Lianjun, who is in the cold palace, feels.

Regarding this result, the second prince was happiest.

He never expected that his biggest opponent would give up so easily!

The second prince rushed to the palace, wanting to tell his mother and concubine the good news.

But he found that his mother-in-law was washing up. The second prince asked, "Why is the mother-in-law washing up?"

"Yu'er is here." The imperial concubine's face looked a little tired, "Jin Yu, give Yu'er a seat."

After washing up, the second prince couldn't wait to tell the concubine the good news, but he didn't notice the indifference in his mother's eyes.

"Concubine, no one will be my opponent from now on!" The second prince said excitedly, "The queen is no longer enough. Concubine, let's work harder. The position of queen is yours!

"

Mother and son are connected, and they have always had a common enemy. The second prince has always been eyeing the position of crown prince, so why does the noble concubine not want to sit in the middle palace position?

Therefore, the second prince thought that his mother-in-law would be happy when she heard the news.

However, this was not the case. The imperial concubine lowered her eyes and said in a depressed tone, "Yu'er, it's up to you to walk the road from now on."

Only then did the second prince realize that something was wrong with his mother and concubine, "Concubine, why are you saying these things? What are you going to do?"

"Yu'er, the concubine has already thought about it. The concubine refused to save her, which led to the tragic death of concubine Ru and her children. After their death, the concubine did not burn incense to worship. Now, the concubine has no face to face it.

Like a concubine."

"My mother and concubine are going to confess to the emperor the truth about how she stood by and watched, and then she invites herself to the temple to go to the ancient Buddha with a green lantern and die for the rest of her life. Yu'er, the Lin family will protect you from now on, and my mother and concubine will no longer worry about you."

After saying that, the imperial concubine continued to fiddle with the Buddhist beads in her hand.

The second prince looked at the mother-in-law who had no desires and desires in front of him, and suddenly an unknown fire arose.

"Concubine, are you crazy?"

The second prince felt that the mother-in-law in front of him must have lost her mind. She was only one step away from success. Why did the mother-in-law want to lose her temper at this time?

The eldest prince left the capital. He is the eldest son of the emperor. Although there are five princes, the fifth prince is just weak, and his mother's family is of low origin, and he is not favored by the emperor. The other princes are either young or frail and cannot afford to be the heir apparent.

obligation!

Just one step away!

Just like assassinating Pei Mo at that time, just like poisoning Sun Wan, only one step away!

The second prince hated the feeling of being only one step away. At this moment, he was so angry that he almost lost his mind.

The imperial concubine didn't even raise her eyes. It was obvious that she had made up her mind and nothing could shake her.

"Yu'er, I know it's not good to do this, but if I don't tell the truth, I will never have peace in my life!"

These days, the imperial concubine opened the Buddhist scriptures and took time to kneel before the Bodhisattva every day to pray for peace of mind.

But even so, when she dreamed back in the middle of the night, the imperial concubine could still think of Hansong's voice. She was afraid of seeing Hansong before, but now she hopes that Hansong's soul will come back to see her.

But Hansong never appeared again.

Moreover, the imperial concubine finally understood in her heart that she no longer wanted to sit in the position of queen. She just hated Huo Lianjun. Now that Huo Lianjun had fallen, she had nothing else she really wanted.

The only thing she couldn't let go of was her son, but thinking that the Lin family would not let the second prince go, the concubine felt relieved, so she decided to become a nun.
