It has been a month since the emperor recovered from the Lishan Palace and returned from the palace of Mount Li. During this month, the court did not remain as calm as the ministers had imagined, but instead became even more turbulent and undulating.

First, the censor reported that the prince impeached the prince to plunder his wife and was extremely debauchery. This memorial was suppressed by Wanyan and kept it unpublished. He only a little scolded the prince and ordered him to rectify it himself.

If you want to take it, you must give it first. Wanyan Bupo wants to abolish the position of crown prince and crown prince. The first thing is to completely indulge him, making him act more rampant and attracting complaints. At that time, the crown prince will be infamous, and with his collusion with the thief, it will be a natural thing to abolish his position of crown prince.

As expected by Wanyan, the prince was quite proud of his thoughts. When he saw that he did not punish him, he forgot the impeachment in a blink of an eye, without making any statements or handling, and acted more unscrupulously.

At this point, the memorials impeached the prince and his personal followers flew to the Wanyan Bupo's imperial table like snowflakes, and a thick stack was piled up.

After receiving a secret letter from the palace, Ouyang Jingyu, who had been watching coldly, finally took action and presented a thick memorial, instructing the new Zhan Shishi, Liu Wenqing, to sell his wife for honor and lose his virtue. He also stated that he did not have the ability to solve the case of the Northwest General's corruption of millions of military pay within three days. He questioned that he had collusion with the people in the army to seek profits from it, deceive the holy hearing, and asked the emperor to dismiss him from his post and investigate.

Ouyang Jingyu had a very skilled vision. After knowing Liu Wenqing's true identity, he could see at a glance that there was something in the case of the Northwest General's greed for military pay.

What is the small Northwest general who needs the million-dollar military pay? Could it be that he can still make a rebellion? That's right! The Northwest general is probably just an abandoned son under Liu Wenqing. After getting the military pay, Liu Wenqing stayed in Shangjing to find a gap, so the Northwest general was naturally pushed out and sacrificed. If a person dies, the blame will be taken more accurately. The million-dollar snowflakes can't be found, which is really easy to plot! In this way, Xiao Ye, the deputy general of Shunwang who recommended him to investigate this case, may also be a traitor.

Recognizing the current situation of the prince's body surrounded by tigers and wolves, Ouyang Jingyu became even more anxious and wished he could take his daughter out of Yuqing Palace immediately.

His memorial was like a drop of water pouring into a oil pan, causing the already surging court to boil, and various contradictions emerged one after another. The prince stood up excitedly, tried his best to protect Liu Wenqing, and severely criticized Ouyang Jingyu's abuse of power and slandering the court officials, not worthy of being the prime minister of a country. He was excited and repeatedly asked him to retire early and give up his position as prime minister.

Ouyang Jingyu was so angry that he was so angry that he was still present regardless of whether Wanyan or not, he left and said coldly before leaving, "You are foolish! You can't plot against him!"

The prince was stunned and the court officials were silent. Wanyan Bupo suddenly burst into laughter and said, "The Prime Minister is still so hot-tempered! You are so energetic, it's okay to be the prime minister for another twenty years! You'll leave the court!" He actually gave up the prime minister's despise of the court and insulted the prince.

Not only was the emperor not furious because of the prime minister's excessive behavior, he also claimed that the prime minister could be the prime minister for another twenty years. His attitude of supporting the prime minister was self-evident. Sure enough, within a day, the imperial edict for Liu Wenqing to be dismissed and investigated was promulgated.

After retiring from the court, when he heard the imperial edict, the ministers were thinking about the prime minister's words "You can't plot against it" over and over again, and thought of the strange scene of the emperor laughing and leaving. His heart suddenly felt like a mirror: the crown prince's position as the crown prince may have been at the end.

Liu Wenqing was dismissed from office and investigated, but was not arrested in the heavenly prison. Instead, he was detained in the capital and was not allowed to leave without authorization. As long as he did not leave the capital, his actions were still free and he was not guilty. Therefore, although the prince was anxious, he was not very worried. He only visited the relevant ministers every day, trying to help him restore his post as soon as possible and clear his grievances.

After tearing his face with the Prime Minister, the prince didn't feel much at first. Apart from a little anxious, he felt a sense of pleasure in his heart. He thought that as long as Ouyang Huiru was still in his hands, the Prime Minister's power would definitely be used by him.

However, in the process of rescuing Liu Wenqing, he finally realized that his idea was very wrong. Ouyang Jingyu's "Don't plot with him" was a declaration of a complete break with the prince. Since then, the □□ originally gathered with Ouyang Jingyu's support fell apart overnight. The prince became a real "lonely man". Wherever he passed, the ministers retreated and the rumors of "deposing the prince" were rampant.

The prince was isolated and helpless, and he tried the taste of fear for the first time. What made him even more frightened was that his father did not explicitly prohibit or deny the rumors, but just smiled and passed.

Since then, the prince stopped running for Liu Wenqing because he knew that no matter how hard he was running, it would be futile. Now, no one in the capital is willing to sell his account. The table that was slapped by the prince's palm appeared in the prince's nightmare every night. On several occasions, the prince dreamed that his body was slapped by the prince's palm, turning into dust and drifting away.

He woke up and asked himself again and again, what was he like to lose the Ouyang family? All he responded to was deeper fear and anxiety in his heart. Both the father and daughter had broken completely and could not be saved. The prince was extremely regretful and lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Jiang Yingyue saw the prince's dilemma and had already predicted it, but she did not expect that Ouyang Jingyu would first attack her younger brother against the prince. This made her unable to bear it and she made more effort to set Ouyang Huiru to death. She knew very well that Wanyan Bubang's chessboard had been spread out and the prince had been gradually surrounded to death. Only by destroying Ouyang Huiru can the chess game be turned around and the prince gained a glimmer of vitality.

The reputation of the prince plummeted. When King J and King Wei saw that the time was coming, they also took action one after another. Under their instructions, several ministers took the lead in submitting the memorial to the emperor's "destroyed prince".

Instead of standing up to protect the prince as before, Ouyang Jingyu impeached the few remaining loyal followers around the prince one after another, and sorted out all their positions in the court, and there was a tendency to put down the prince in the wrong hands. Wanyan Bubo accepted the memorials submitted by the ministers. He inspected them for a long time, and then kept them and did not post them, with an extremely calm expression.

The emperor had expected such a calm attitude towards the deposed prince, and was already seriously considering it, and the court was changing for a while.

In this strange atmosphere, half a month has passed again and the New Year is coming.

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Wanyan Bupo announced the "seal" and "seal" and the court was suspended for five days to celebrate the New Year. All political affairs were settled until the first day of the first lunar month before the court was held.

The "destroying the prince" is related to the national system, and the emperor does need time to seriously consider it. The ministers stopped and no longer impeached the prince. King J and King Wei were in a very comfortable mood, and they just waited for the New Year to watch the prince's destruction.

Although King Shun was not interested in fighting for the throne, he did not overcome the requirements of Wanyan and stayed in the capital for the New Year. He would return to the border to guard the throne after the first month, and wait and see who would be the next crown prince.

The prince was in panic all day long, with a pale face, a listless spirit, and a thin body. He looked terminally ill, which made Ouyang Huiru, who walked out of the palace gate and wanted to attend the New Year's dinner at the Grand Palace, was shocked when she saw him and almost couldn't recognize her.

"Prince?" she stepped forward and called out hesitantly.

"Crown Princess, the time is coming soon, let's go." The prince forced a smile and said in a warm voice.

"It's better to go our separate ways if we don't make plans." Ouyang Huiru said with some meaning, then glanced at him and walked first.

In her eyes, the prince was already a dog who fell into the water, and what she and Dad Ouyang had to do in the future was to beat the dog who fell into the water. At this time, there was no need for her to maintain superficial peace with the prince.

The prince gritted his teeth and stared at Ouyang Huiru's straight back with a deep look. After a while, he finally hunched his body over and walked to the Palace of Supreme Harmony alone.

Ouyang Huiru did not go to the Taihe Palace first, but instead went to Cining Palace to pick up the Empress Dowager.

After talking in Cining Palace for a while, the two of them appeared in the Hall of Supreme Harmony while stepping on the spot. Ouyang Huiru's seat was arranged by the Empress Dowager, saving her from the tragic situation of sitting with the prince and not being able to eat.

Wanyan Bupo was naturally the last one to attend. When everyone was already gathered, he gave a few congratulations and announced the beginning of the banquet. During the meal, he frequently instructed Anshun to bring the dishes on the imperial table to the tables of the Empress Dowager and the Crown Princess, and his love was beyond words.

The ministers looked at the lonely and neglected prince, and then the princess who were like fish in water and were quite favored. They knew that if the prince was deposed, the princess had a better way out. Who told her to bear the merit of saving the emperor twice and have a unique position in the heart of the emperor? The emperor will definitely not treat her badly at that time. Don’t blame Prime Minister Ouyang for not being scruples. Recently, he has tried his best to suppress the prince’s party. People have already figured out the holy intentions.

The ministers sighed in their hearts and treated the prince even more far away. No one came forward to drink with him. The cold and deserted state formed a sharp contrast with the lively scenes around King J and others.

The prince clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and endured them.

Ouyang Huiru buried herself in the food and couldn't extricate herself. She didn't care about the prince's predicament, nor did she notice that somebody had put a pot of strong wine in a very close place to her right.

"Ah!" Ouyang Huiru heard the empress dowager talking to her, stopped eating, put down the silver chopsticks, and was about to answer, but her right hand naturally poured the wine pot and couldn't help but yell.

The lid of the pot was opened, and all the cold wine was poured on her knees and skirt, instantly soaking in thick cloth, making her skin feel wet and cold. When Xiaoyu helped the pot up, the pot was empty, and Ouyang Huiru's body emitted a strong and mellow aroma of wine.

The wine pots on each table were placed on the right hand side, but because they were placed closer, Ouyang Huiru was too addicted to food and did not notice it. She accidentally knocked it over. Therefore, she didn't think much about it, and just wiped the skirt with her handkerchief and looked at the Queen Mother awkwardly.

"You kid, forget everything!" The empress dowager scolded her erect nose and looked at the palace people standing behind her. When she found E Qi was absent, she pointed to a great palace maid whom she usually valued, "Bilan, come here and take the princess to find a nearby side palace palace to change clothes."

Bilan Yingnuo respectfully took Ouyang Huiru away from the table. Madam Qin followed her closely, while Xiaoyu ran to Yuqing Palace to help her get the replaced dress.

Jiang Yingyue, who was standing quietly in front of the Yuqing Palace, saw Xiaoyu come back in a hurry, left with a dress, looked towards the direction of the Taihe Palace, and suddenly grinned and smiled silently.
