Chapter 310 Reactions from all parties.
Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, went against human ethics and fell in love with his own aunt, developing an ambiguous relationship with her. He thought he had strong help and support, but ultimately he became a bargaining chip in the hands of the beautiful Princess Li Yunrui. It ended in disgrace, and there was no possibility of his rising again. It was truly a pity and pitiful!
Even Emperor Qing, whose words were law in the court, could no longer be saved, and the matter of letting him inherit the throne became nonsense.
Emperor Qing's expression kept changing, and the light shining on it made it flicker.
What he was thinking about now was not how to prevent the incident from spreading further. He understood that it was too late to do anything at this time.
The Northern Qi countries represented by Li An would not allow this matter to die out.
What followed was chaos in the Qing Kingdom's political situation, which was also what the other party wanted to see!
Emperor Qing is now thinking about how to make the best of a bad situation and achieve other goals.
After thinking for a long time, he called the eunuch and asked softly, "What time is it? How long until the court meeting?"
"Your Majesty, it is now the Yin hour, and the court meeting will begin in an hour." (The court meeting time is approximately the Mao hour between 5 and 7 o'clock)
"Go get ready."
"Yes."
Emperor Qing stood up silently. He had not dealt with any official documents in the past few days. Although there was no extra emotion on his face, it was enough to show how worried he was.
The eunuchs served the emperor, so naturally they knew everything clearly. In addition, the previous eunuch disappeared without reason, which made them even more cautious.

Wangfu.
The second prince did not sleep all night last night as he was preparing for today's court meeting.
When he received the news and learned that the prince's affair had been exposed, his heart was filled with indescribable ecstasy, and then, deep fear!
Yes, fear!
Although he already knew that Fan Xian was the biggest stumbling block between him and the prince, at this point, he had no confidence in facing the powerful Fan Xian alone.
What's more, at the banquet a few days ago, he had completely severed ties with Fan Xian, so the means he would use afterwards would probably be very explosive.
As for how the prince fell, there is no need to think about it.
This scandal is of no benefit to the entire Qing Kingdom. The only beneficiaries are the princes.
Of course, unless all the princes are dead, the eldest prince will not be able to ascend to the throne. In this way, the scope of suspects will be greatly narrowed!
third child?
He is still in Jiangnan at this time, and it is said that it will take more than two months to return to Kyoto.
Then only Fan Xian is left!
Although the Second Prince's process was wrong, the result he obtained was not far off.
He was afraid. He was afraid that Fan Xian would treat him the same way.
While he was afraid, he was also extremely impatient. He knew that if he continued like this, only death would be waiting for him!
He was unwilling to accept it. Why was Fan Xian the prince?
If he wasn't there and the crown prince was taken away, the most likely scenario would be that he would become the new crown prince and ascend to the highest position!
Correct!
As long as Fan Xian dies, it will be enough!
And the one in the palace, you have been sitting on the dragon throne for too long!
The Second Prince seemed to be in a state of confusion at this moment, and no matter how Ye Ling'er called him, he could not come back to his senses.
After a long time, when the night watchman sounded the sound of beating bamboo clappers, he slowly came out of his thoughts. Even so, his eyes were full of bloodshot. Looking at his wife who was worried beside him, he just forced a smile and comforted her softly: "It's okay, everything will be fine, everything will be fine"
"Chengze, don't be like this. No one can threaten us. Just let it go, okay?"
Tears streamed down the beautiful woman's face.
But it didn't flow into Li Chengze's heart.
He hugged his wife gently and said in a clear voice: "I have to go to court now."
Watching Li Chengze change his clothes and slowly walk out of the room, Ye Linger made up her mind.

Chen Garden.
Chen Pingping has always been sleep deprived, and these few days were the best days for her sleep.
But he was old, his legs were crippled and his body was injured, so he didn't sleep very long. He was already waiting for news in the garden. Soon, Fei Jie and Yan Bingyun arrived.
"how's it going?"
"Neither the Ye family nor the Qin family made any moves. The eldest princess also stayed quietly and did not meet anyone."
"I can understand why Ye Zhong did this. After all, they have already given up most of their military power. But, what about Qin Ye?"
Fei Jie chuckled, "The dean's plan is indeed a good one. Killing two birds with one stone is really a relief!"
Chen Pingping was in a good mood. He laughed a few times, which was rare. Then, with the help of Yan Bingyun, he sat in the wheelchair and turned around in Chen Garden.
"The beauty of Chen Garden is something I never get tired of seeing even after so many years."
He was not looking at the scenery, but at the person who had once praised this place.
"By the way, where is Gong Dian who was banished from the capital before?" Chen Pingping paused and thought of a possibility.
"This subordinate was negligent!"
"check."
"clear."
"Let's go. I don't want to miss the morning court today."
Fei Jie was only in charge of three departments and had no qualifications to attend the court, but Er Bingyun was different.
He has been in the limelight recently, and Emperor Qing thinks highly of him and intends to train him. Not only does he work in the Supervisory Council, he also holds other official positions, so he can follow Chen Pingping to the palace.
So, surrounded by a convoy of cars, the two of them rode in a carriage towards the direction of the palace.
······
Unlike Li Chengqian who was detained in the clan house, Princess Li Yunrui, who was imprisoned in the royal villa, had a lot of freedom. As long as she did not leave the villa, she could have fun anywhere.
The people from the Supervisory Office were only responsible for keeping watch over her, and they had no idea about the details of the servants who served her.
Or it would be more appropriate to say that the people in the Supervisory Council are eager for Li Yunrui to pass the message outside and make some more noise.
This Royal Villa is worthy of the title of Royal Villa. Not only is it very large, but the scenery is also very unique. If it weren't for the fact that it was a place of confinement, others would have thought that the princess was here for vacation.
As they walked, Li Yunrui said quietly, "My brother has a very cold and hard heart, but he is also very tender and affectionate."
Upon hearing this, the servants lowered their heads to the lowest point.
The eldest princess had hatred in her heart, but in the final analysis, it was not hatred towards the people in the world, nor was it hatred towards herself for giving birth to a girl.
She only hated one person, and that was Emperor Qing!
She was once so infatuated with him, but Emperor Qing only had Ye Qingmei in his eyes!
This is also the reason why Li Yunrui is angry with Ye Qingmei and Fan Xian, even though her daughter has become their wife.
For power, to reach the top, and to make Fan Xian's life miserable, she can give everything!
To say that she was doing good things with the prince by taking advantage of his status is nothing but deceiving herself.
What kind of person is that prince? All show and no substance!
It's really a pile of mud that can't be propped up against the wall.
But Li Yunrui is satisfied with his appearance, he looks most like Emperor Qing!
If you can't get what you want, you naturally have to find a substitute
"Why keep me here? Anyway, I can do everything without going anywhere."
Just like that, as Li Yunrui murmured, light began to shine through the sky and the meeting began.
