Chapter 183 The Prince Arrives

After the couple left, the old lady Gu sighed and said with much resentment.

"Da Lang died young, and we have no evidence to prove that he was murdered! Later, Yun He also passed away, and we still have no evidence, but this matter must be related to the Wei family. I really feel disgusted every time I see it!"

These words were suppressed in the heart of the old lady Gu for a long time.

The two aunts also knew about it, so they could only sigh.

If the Gu family was still the Gu family of the past, then even if they wanted to investigate these, they could find some clues.

But now, so many years have passed, I am afraid it has been wiped out.

Only the old lady Gu's intuition is left.

"Why don't we wait until tonight and talk to Shao Yu. With his current ability, he may really be able to find it out."

"Let's wait until the New Year. I don't want to disturb everyone's interest. It's not easy to get together to celebrate a lively New Year. Don't let this matter affect it."

The two aunts heard it and thought it made sense.

After all, it was just a suspicion of Mrs. Gu. It could not be used as evidence in court to accuse the Wei family of having the blood of her daughter and grandson, nor could it be used as a reason to destroy the Wei family and report to His Majesty.

They could only endure it.

But they didn't know that if they had told Du Jingyi and her husband about this matter earlier, they would have had some unexpected gains.

The wind and snow gradually started to blow again.

On the way back to the front hall, Shang Ji and Du Jingyi saw Madam Dou approaching them and said.

"The table is ready. When will the general and the lady start the table?"

Shang Ji looked at the people who came and remembered that there were still two princes who had not arrived. He was thinking about postponing it for a while, when he saw Butler He hurried over.

"General, the fourth and seventh princes are here."

It's really like saying that Cao Cao is here. He was just wondering why the two of them hadn't shown up yet, and they came now.

So Shang Ji glanced at Du Jingyi and said.

"You decide. I'll go get someone."

"Yes, General."

After that, Shang Ji walked out to greet them, while Du Jingyi went back to the front hall.

As soon as they entered the door, they went straight to where the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were. They were talking to Prime Minister Guo and Old Lady Guo.

When Du Jingyi approached, Old Lady Guo asked anxiously.

"How is your grandmother?"

Du Jingyi smiled.

"Grandmother is fine. She just needs to rest for a while. I came here to say that the banquet is almost ready. Crown Prince and Crown Princess, can we start the banquet in a quarter of an hour?"

Among the people present, the most distinguished ones were these two.

So it was perfect for them to decide the time for the banquet.

The two of them didn't have much special impression of Du Jingyi, but it was obvious that Shang Ji cared about his wife, so they wouldn't make it difficult.

"The banquet at the General's Mansion is decided by the young lady, and I am also a guest."

The prince's words made Du Jingyi bow and nod.

"Yes, I understand."

Then she instructed Dou Mama beside her.

"Let's start the banquet in a quarter of an hour."

"Yes, young lady."

Not long after they finished talking here, Shang Ji welcomed the fourth prince and the seventh prince in.

"The fourth prince is here, the seventh prince is here."

They traveled light today, came alone, and did not bring their families.

So, they were teased by King Min.

"These two children are really something, they don't have families to bring, and they come so late. I really don't know why they are delayed on the road?"

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Although the prince still had a smile on his face, a layer of frost had formed in his eyes.

He arrived early, of course, to give face to Madam Gu.

But the late arrival of these two brothers may be a sign of trying to compete with him, the prince.

Prime Minister Guo did not say much, but it was obvious that he was afraid of the two princes.

"We are late, we are late. I don't know what happened to the carriage. It broke down on the way, so we two brothers had to wait for a new one. That's why we are late. We kept the prince and the uncles waiting for a long time."

The speaker was the fourth prince, who looked a few years younger than the prince.

He was very handsome and looked like Concubine Yin.

So from his face, we can know that this concubine must be extremely beautiful and very favored by the emperor.

The fourth prince and the seventh prince were born of the same mother and have always been close to each other.

The seventh prince only followed the fourth prince's lead, so whatever he said, the seventh prince would agree.

After hearing his explanation, Prince De smiled and came out to smooth things over.

"Since you know you're late, you'll have to drink two more cups later, otherwise I won't agree."

"Okay, uncle has spoken, and nephew must not disobey. I must punish myself with three cups."

"Hahaha, refreshing!"

After hearing this, the prince said with a smile on his face.

"Fourth brother is really something. The invitation from the general's mansion was not sent today. The servants in the mansion are too careless. Are you cold?"

"Thank you for your concern, the prince. I'm not cold. I'm just afraid that the prince will be unhappy because I'm late. Don't think that we two brothers did it on purpose."

"Whether it's true or not, you just need to know it in your heart. I don't care about these things."

When the two talked, they were hostile to each other.

Everyone present could see it.

It has long been an indisputable fact that the prince inherited the throne.

But in recent years, everyone knows that His Majesty loves Concubine Yin, and even on days when he does not attend court, Concubine Yin accompanies him every day.

Therefore, the fourth prince is very favored by the emperor, and he is often summoned to the palace to accompany him.

Therefore, under such circumstances, no one can tell whether there will be any sudden changes.

Apart from other things, if His Majesty suddenly dies, there will be no one else around him, and only Concubine Yin and the fourth prince will accompany him. The edict can be changed at will.

And the prince and the Guo family are not people who will sit and wait for death!

If there is a real commotion, won’t the Daxing Dynasty, which has just settled down, be involved in the struggle for the throne?

This is an ending that no one wants to see.

The prince has the people of the world in his heart. Although he is kind and generous, it does not mean that he has no desires.

If the fourth prince really threatens his position, then even his closest relatives can be killed.

Seeing that the two were gradually getting on edge, Prime Minister Guo came out and spoke calmly.

"General Shang, are you going to have a feast?"

"Yes, the feast is ready. Please move to the flower hall."

Hearing this, the energy in the two disappeared, and they returned to their usual happy conversation.

Princess Fu looked at them and wished that these two ancestors would make trouble in the mansion.

One is the prince, and the other is the favored prince. If one of these people got into trouble in this general's mansion...
