Chapter 47 A Glimpse at the End of the Whole Picture

Yu'er shook her head and replied, "The eunuch who came to inform me just now didn't elaborate."

"Is that so?" Princess Ankang looked thoughtful, but then smiled, "It's a good thing if I can't go."

At the monthly gatherings of the princes and princesses, Princess Ankang would sit alone in a corner to kill the whole day.

For her, it was just a great effort to change the place to take a nap.

The monthly gathering in the Imperial Garden was the biggest schedule for Ankang.

But she still preferred to stay in Jingyang Palace, and still felt that it was more comfortable to bask in the sun here.

Even though the scenery in the Imperial Garden was better and the people were lively, those didn't belong to her.

Li Xuan, who was lying in Princess Ankang's arms, felt strange, and his eyes kept rolling around.

In the past, these princes and princesses looked forward to this monthly gathering.

This time, it was cancelled for some reason.

They were comparing with each other at this gathering, not just for fun.

Let’s not talk about the young princes and princesses, but those who are close to adulthood all have their own thoughts.

Although Li Xuan always slept in a corner with Princess Ankang, he actually kept an eye on the party.

There were several times when the competitions between these princes and princesses were too tense and almost got into a mess.

They all knew that this was one of the few opportunities they had left to show themselves to their father.

The current emperor of the Daxing Dynasty is called "Yongyuan".

It is said that Emperor Yongyuan worked hard to govern the country and had the appearance of a wise ruler.

He just had a little indifference to family affection, and didn't care much about these princes and princesses, and devoted himself to government affairs.

Among these princes and princesses, being able to see their father two or three times a month was considered extremely favored.

Even if they wanted to take the initiative to pay their respects, they had to ask for permission several days in advance, but most of them were rejected.

Some of them were scheming and wanted to create chance encounters to show their presence in front of their father.

The result was that they were too clever and outsmarted without exception. Not only did they lose their favor, but they were also severely punished.

After a few people like this, the princes and princesses no longer dared to be scheming, and could only try their best to show more at the monthly gatherings.

Because they all believed that their father would definitely pay attention to this gathering.

As for the truth, no one could tell.

But this is better than doing nothing, otherwise these princes and princesses would probably not sleep well every day.

They are different from Princess Ankang, who still has a bright future to win.

If they make a mistake in the future, they may be in a situation of no return, and their final end will be several times more miserable than Ankang.

While the princes and princesses enjoy the scenery, they have been forced to sit on a gambling table from the moment they were born.

A lifetime of wealth and honor, as well as one's life and property, have become the chips that must be gambled, whether they are willing or not.

From this point, it is not difficult to see how important the monthly gathering is to them.

The reason behind the sudden cancellation this time is probably not simple.

The news in their Jingyang Palace is closed, and Li Xuan plans to go out and ask after digesting it.

This curious thing makes his heart itch.

...

After lunch at noon, Li Xuan went out for a stroll in the harem.

As a result, he walked through most of the harem and did not find out the exact news.

Although the palace maids and eunuchs occasionally talked about this matter, they did not know more than Li Xuan. It was just that when it came to the cancellation of the gathering, no one could tell the specific reason.

"It seems that we have to go a long way."

Li Xuan looked up at the other side of the West Palace, which was in the opposite direction of Jingyang Palace.

He didn't like to go there on weekdays, one because it was far away, and the other because there were too many people there.

Especially the nobles.

"Forget it, it's okay to go and see it occasionally."

Jingyang Palace is located in the northwest corner of the West Palace, adjacent to the imperial city wall and the forbidden garden.

It can be said to be a corner of the corner, otherwise it would not be the cold palace.

Li Xuan is going to the southeast corner of the West Palace at this time, where many favored concubines live, and it is not far from the queen's residence.

There are several palaces in the southeast corner of the West Palace, collectively known as Caiyun Palace.

In addition to concubines, there are also their underage children living in Caiyun Palace. Usually, they are arranged in their own small courtyards. They will leave the palace and live independently after they reach adulthood.

After Li Xuan came to Caiyun Palace, he didn't look at this prosperous palace with dazzling flowers, but plunged into the depths, listening to those taboo gossips.

This Caiyun Palace is different. It didn't take long for him to hear the news he wanted.

Some time ago, wasn't there a rumor about ghosts in the palace?

Li Xuan was the person in question, so he was naturally aware of the matter.

But at that time, it was not just the harem that was in turmoil, the government and the people were not much better.

Li Xuan learned from the conversations of several nobles that at almost the same time, there was a dispute in the court and the public about the topic of establishing a crown prince.

"The vacant position in the Eastern Palace has caused a bad omen from heaven..."

"The people in the harem are frivolous, I hope Your Majesty will establish the crown prince as soon as possible..."

"..."

Topics like these were all the rage.

In their words, they all wanted Emperor Yongyuan to decide on the crown prince as soon as possible.

Li Xuan did not hear the specific details.

He only heard one result.

In the end, Emperor Yongyuan won, and all the ministers who advised him shut up.

And the most jumpy ministers were naturally severely punished.

Liang Chuchu's father, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, was the most unlucky one.

"I said that such a high position was gone just like that."

Li Xuan could not help but sigh.

Moreover, after this incident, Emperor Yongyuan issued a serious warning, which caused everyone to be in danger in recent times, and it can be said that there was a lot of panic.

These princes and princesses were afraid that their father would think too much and associate it with themselves, so they took leave from the gathering this month, resulting in 99% of people not wanting to attend.

That's why the gathering was cancelled.

Li Xuan got the answer he wanted, so he left Caiyun Palace and went to Jingyang Palace.

But on the way, he couldn't help but think a lot.

Li Xuan didn't believe that the haunted palace had nothing to do with the promotion of the crown prince.

There is no such coincidence in the world.

Li Xuan was just thinking about what role Deng Weixian's godfather played in this.

Was his plan successful or failed?

Now it seems that the promotion of the crown prince has failed, and it has paid a heavy price.

But who knows who Deng Weixian's godfather is in the same group with.

The more Li Xuan thought about it, the more headache he had, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"The hearts of these people who play power games are too dirty!"

He couldn't help but feel a little scared for himself and Deng Weixian.

The two of them were in the game, but they were confused and ignorant, allowing themselves to be driven as chess pieces.

It was not until everything was settled, even after several days of the results, that they could vaguely see a corner of the situation at that time.

If they continue to be so slow to realize it, I am afraid that one day they will die in someone else's calculations without knowing why.

"My information is too closed, I wonder if there is any good way to make up for this shortcoming?"

Thanks to "Fa Ye Wang Cai", "awa Pi Lao Ban", "Little Man's Little Growth" for their monthly ticket support.

Thank you all for your encouragement and support.

Bai Miao decided to go all out from today until the third update until the release, no matter what the result is!
