She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Chapter 153 Your Majesty, I have something to ask

"Because you are blocking her way." Yu Yuanzheng looked at him as if he were a fool.

"How can I stand in his way?" Shangguan Ziqi felt puzzled.

He is not a prince, so why would he compete with the third prince for the throne?

"If you don't listen to her, you're standing in his way."

"Why should I listen to her? She is not my mother."

Yu Yuanzheng began to doubt his IQ.

"Because she wants the palace to support her son's ascension to the throne, and the king and you are completely ignoring her, so of course she has objections."

"But what does this have to do with harming me? The Rong Palace has been neutral for many years and is only loyal to the Wei Dynasty. She knows this. Even if my second brother is the prince now, it will be the same." Shangguan Ziqi said as a matter of course.

"Have you noticed that the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are closer now than you and the Third Prince?" Yu Yuanzheng didn't understand this. The women in the household rarely knew what men did outside the palace.

"I understand." Shangguan Ziqi figured it out immediately.

Ever since the eldest prince got into trouble, his aunt had mentioned it to him several times, intentionally or unintentionally, asking him to get closer to the third prince. Once, she even asked him to abandon the eldest prince and become the third prince's companion.

But because he had been close to the eldest prince since childhood, it was impossible for him to do what she said.

Moreover, he looked down upon the Third Prince's character, believing him to be not magnanimous enough, always striving to be the best, and narrow-minded.

Teach people a lesson for every little thing.

Such people are not in his eyes.

Now that the second brother is the crown prince, his relationship with the third prince is indeed closer than his.

The eldest prince is disabled. If the third prince ascends to the throne, the royal palace will have to maintain a good relationship with the future emperor. Therefore, the current prince must maintain a good relationship with the future crown prince so that the monarch and his subjects can live in harmony in the future.

His relationship with the Third Prince is not as good as his second brother's, so it would be best for the Third Prince if he could never get well.

"Hmph, you have a good plan." Shangguan Ziqi slammed his fist on the small square table in the middle of the carriage.

"Have you figured it out?" Yu Yuanzheng knew from his expression.

"Yes. Thank you, ma'am, for the heads-up."

"However, I suspect the reasons are more than what you thought. There must be something we don't know about." Yu Yuanzheng had a hunch, but no evidence.

"Yes. The assassination of Doctor Gu is very strange. I have been awake for such a long time, and she didn't take action. But she suddenly took action. This is unreasonable."

"So, someone else killed Imperial Physician Gu?" Yu Yuanzheng wondered.

"Yes."

"Could it be someone from Canglan again?" Yu Yuanzheng suddenly thought of this possibility.

"It's possible. But I can't find any reason. Unless the person who really wants to harm me is from Canglan." Shangguan Ziqi felt more and more complicated.

"Alas, so many people are concerned about your life. You must bring enough guards with you when you go out in the future." Yu Yuanzheng sighed.

"Yes, ma'am. My husband's martial arts are not weak either, so I have no problem protecting myself." Shangguan Ziqi felt warm in his heart when he heard his wife was so concerned about his safety.

"Compared between you and my father, who has better kung fu?" Yu Yuanzheng was very curious.

"Of course my father is better. He is more proficient in the use of moves than me, but he is older than me and his endurance is not as strong as mine. So when we fight against each other, I can fight longer than him." Shangguan Ziqi said with a smile as if asking for praise.

"Is that so? Then after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, let's go to the countryside. You haven't practiced martial arts for a long time. You have to catch up with father as soon as possible, otherwise the safety of the three of us will be in jeopardy." Yu Yuanzheng joked.

"As you command, ma'am."

The two chatted and laughed, and Shangguan Ziqi felt much better. With a wife and a son, he had nothing to regret.

My father will handle my aunt's matter and seek justice for him.

When the two returned to the palace, they found that everyone else who had returned with their wives had already returned, and they were the last two to return.

Shangguan Zishu also accompanied Nanhua back to her parents' home. Although he felt sad, he still knew what he should do.

Yu Chaoyang's childbirth made him mature a lot.

As soon as he came back, he went to Yu Chaoyang's room to accompany her.

The Lady of Nanhua County behaved very generously and appropriately, without any complaints.

"County Lady, why are you still smiling when the prince treats you so coldly?" The maid Ruoyun couldn't understand.

"If the prince just abandons Yu Chaoyang, it means he is a heartless and ungrateful person. Such a person is terrible. Yu Chaoyang has suffered such a disaster, he should show some concern for him." Nanhua saw it very clearly.

If she wants to win the prince's heart, she has plenty of time and doesn't need this.

To be frank, Yu Chaoyang was a little scheming but not very resourceful woman from the inner court. No one knew why the old prince had taken a liking to her and decided to make her his consort.

But what Nanhua could not have imagined was that after the seventh day, the prince moved directly into the military camp and did not return home at all.

Shangguan Zishu pushed himself to the extreme, practicing martial arts seriously every day, studying military tactics, and participating in soldiers' drills.

By the way, he also kept Shangguan Zifeng under strict control.

The prince was very pleased to see that the brothers were making progress together.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the emperor officially opened court.

The prince went to the morning court early in the morning.

After the morning court session, the prince went to the imperial study uninvited.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"Is there anything Prince Rong needs?" Emperor Qiming had not yet returned to work mode from the relaxation of the New Year holiday, and asked the prince who sat down very impolitely in a somewhat lazily manner.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask." The prince said seriously.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Qiming walked out from behind the imperial desk and sat on the chair next to the prince.

The prince didn't say any more nonsense, but took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Emperor Qiming to read.

Emperor Qiming took it and looked at it carefully.

After watching it, his expression didn't change much, and there was even a hint of amusement.

"What's with that expression on your face? Don't you feel guilty for not taking care of your backyard?" The prince was a little annoyed.

"There are so many people in my backyard, who can I control?

As long as they don't cause any big trouble, they will always play some jealous tricks.

As long as it's not excessive, I always turn a blind eye.

Don’t you think what Concubine Wan Shu did is your family affair?

That's your own sister. She wants to kill your son, not mine."

Emperor Qiming's words were so infuriating that the prince glared at him fiercely.

The relationship between the two is that of king and subject, and friends.

"Okay, I'm just telling you that I'm going to look for Concubine Shu. Please ask a eunuch to take me there." The reason why the prince told the emperor was just to enter his harem openly.

"Someone come here." Emperor Qiming shouted.

A young eunuch hurried in.

"emperor."

"Take Prince Rong to Concubine Wan Shu's palace."

"According to the order."

After the young eunuch took Prince Rong out, the emperor wandered around the imperial study, stroking his chin.

He wasn't completely indifferent.

He saw the problem right away.

His concubine wanted to harm her own nephew, and it was obvious that she was paving the way for his third son.

The Rong Prince's Mansion has an exclusive status, and Concubine Shu is from the Rong Prince's Mansion, so she feels that she has a natural advantage.

But she had miscalculated. Prince Rong's Mansion was not something she could use whenever she wanted.

"Eunuch Hai, come on, I'll go out for a walk too." He wanted to eavesdrop on what the brother and sister were talking about.
