The Captivating Crown Prince Chapter 247

"Aunt, I want to send you somewhere else for a while!" In these few days, when Huan Mo Che had left, on the one hand, she had to take over all kinds of schemes and tricks from the imperial court, and on the other hand, she also had to deal with the entanglement from the Duke of Qing's faction. She was very busy all day, and today when she came back, she was even assassinated.

Yinyin was about to fall asleep, but she did not expect Shang Wuxin to come. These days, due to being busy, almost no one came. Yinyin also knew that Shang Wuxin had a lot of important matters to attend to so she did not disturb him and stayed in the yard all day.

Although she also liked the crown prince, his wife, and the crown prince were like mother and son, but they were still men and women after all. Not to mention that they were not related by blood, they couldn't get too close to each other even if they were siblings, but seeing that Madam didn't seem to mind at all, Chun'er swallowed her words back down, she believed that the madam knew what she was doing.

"Why did he say such words so easily the moment he arrived?" Yinyin asked worriedly. Then, she saw Dauntless standing outside the room and giving her a look. She understood that Shang didn't care about her body even though he pointed at her stomach. Shang Bin was different from Yinyin, Yinyin used to take his body as a prerequisite when she was out exploring, she would never let him feel uncomfortable, and she did not take his body lightly like he did.

"Auntie …"

"Aiya, let's talk after the meal first!" As she spoke, Yinyin pulled Shang into the kitchen of the courtyard. She could not help but laugh when she saw the Crown Prince and Madam Ye at his side. The crown prince was always busy these days and there was no need for them to talk. However, it seemed that the crown prince would always be more obedient like Madam Ye, although being well-behaved could not be described as being the crown prince.

There were no servants in the courtyard other than the few maidservants that Shang did not intentionally serve. Yiyin was usually attended to by Chun'er, and most of the time, they would even personally make meals for her. The kitchenette in the courtyard also frequently used a lot of vegetables.

The two of them were the only two people in the kitchen who didn't want to help, but found that they didn't know anything, and didn't know how to intervene, so they could only stand there dumbly. At this moment, Shang was like a lost child who was full of fun.

After Yi Yin had set the fire and washed the pot clean, she turned around and saw Shang Wuxin standing there in a daze. Suddenly, she burst out laughing.

"Can you cut vegetables?" She then took out the vegetables and placed them on a clean bamboo board. As expected, Shang was not in the mood to shake his head, and Yi Yin did not force Shang to stand beside her to cut the vegetables. An ordinary vegetable was sliced to the same size, so Shang was not in the mood to look at it with curiosity.

"My husband and I had always dreamed of having a daughter by our side who would teach her how to embroider and teach her how to cook. But we can't let her go through hardships and spoil her. We can always clean up her mess behind her back, but I'm afraid this opportunity won't come true!" Yi Yin cut vegetables as she said, "Even with a daughter like you, I'm still so sensible that it gives me a headache. I don't feel like a mother at all. But now, I finally feel like a mother!"

Shang was not in the mood to respond, but was rather well-behaved as he watched Yi Yin chop vegetables and listen to Yi Yin's nagging. The smile on his face grew longer and longer, these days he had been impatient to calm down amidst the sound of chopping vegetables.

The sudden sound of cooking oil boiling made Shang Tong jump in fright, his whole body became alert in an instant. Yi Yin burst into tears while laughing while holding the spatula, her bold and unrestrained laughter drifted above the crown prince's residence …

"Have a taste of my cooking skills. Since I don't have much time, I just casually made some, but even if you don't like it, you still have to use some!" Since Yiyin had already eaten, she just sat at the table, picking up food for Shang from time to time. Although it wasn't as tender and gentle as Ye Yizhe and the others, it still had a motherly feel to it.

It had to be said that Yinyin's culinary skills were very good. The dishes that were commonly cooked were all delicious, but Shang's appetite was only so little. After eating a few mouthfuls, he stopped eating.

Yinyin saw that Shang's chopsticks slowed down after just a few mouthfuls of rice was given to Shang. She knew that Shang's appetite was not strong enough, so she asked, "Why do you want me to leave?" Could it be that you find Aunty annoying here? "

"Why would I despise aunty? But aunty should also be in turmoil in the recent days. These people might not be able to touch me, but that doesn't mean they can't!" Shang's heart was filled with worry. Although Yiyin was a rare woman, her kung fu was not high, and most of the bloodthirst and determination she had built up in her many years of seclusion had disappeared.

Yi Yin covered her lips and laughed, "Little girl, could it be that I am so useless in your heart?" "You also know that I like peace and quiet. I usually don't leave the residence. If something were to happen in the Crown Prince's Palace, I would really be disappointed in you!"

Shang Wuxin laughed along with him. He was overthinking things, or perhaps the person he was worried about was acting timidly. This was indeed not a good sign!

"I didn't mean to be inconsiderate. It's good that Aunt is used to living in the mansion, but I'd better not go out for a few days to avoid being disturbed by some trash!" Shang's tone was ice-cold. After all, wasn't it due to those people that she was getting annoyed these days?

Although she felt sorry for him, she also knew that she couldn't help him. Thinking about what had happened recently, she knew that she shouldn't ask, but she was worried about this child, so she asked, "I heard that Emperor Shang can't go to court because of his illness. Do you need Yi Zhe to come back?"

Even though Yinyin could tell that there was some discord between Shang Guanxin and the emperor, she could tell that the emperor really loved his daughter. Otherwise, how could a woman allow her to sit on the crown prince's throne?

Shang headless shook his head. There were some things she had arranged beforehand. It was not that she did not believe Yi Yin, but that she should not have told her. She was rational at times.

It was very late when Shang returned to his bedroom. He took a shower and sat on his bed, deep in thought about the recent events, as well as the many things he had mentioned. He then walked barefoot and started to write.

When morning arrived and Shang Wuxin arrived in his bright yellow crown prince's attire, he sat high up on a chair beside the dragon throne. The emperor of the imperial court was ill and was currently following the crown prince's orders, which meant that the crown prince would ascend the throne in the future.

"Crown Prince, the Duke of Qing took bribes and embezzled millions of silver taels. Your subject wishes to investigate this matter clearly and ask for your permission, Crown Prince!" When Prince Sima stepped out, he instantly impeached the Duke of Qing's faction and handed over the paper slip. This paper wasn't only used to impeach the Duke of Qing, but the officials of his faction as well.

It was a mess. No one had expected that the Crown Prince would do this. There was not even a hint of warning. More importantly, they did not give any officials a chance to explain themselves.

This swift and decisive action not only frightened the officials, but also made many of the court officials feel discontent towards the crown prince. One must know that the crown prince had not even investigated and acted rashly, so even if he were to ascend to the throne in the future, he would only be an unconscious ruler.

At this time, Emperor Shang was lying on his bed, and upon hearing the sound, his eyes lit up a little as he thought of the report from Eunuch Lu, "Xin'er, you're being rash!"

It wasn't that Emperor Shang didn't know that the Qing officials had been annexing the imperial court recently. Even the palace had many people planted within. Otherwise, as the emperor himself, he wouldn't be lying on the floor right now. However, after exterminating those officials one by one for so many years, who would have thought that his own daughter would directly lock those ministers up in the prison without saying anything? There were even some crimes that were completely non-existent.

She could no longer afford to wait and watch the Duke of Qing for a few years or more. It was just a reputation of a raider, and Shang didn't care, only by keeping those people in his hands could he be at ease.

Emperor Shang also knew that he could not change his daughter's decision. He was thinking whether it was because his daughter had been agitated by his conversation with her last time that she wanted to bring Duke Qing down so quickly. Recently, he was too ill to see his daughter, causing him to feel sad for a long time.

"Xin'er, royal father is probably poisoned this time. Sigh, why haven't you come to the palace to take a look at royal father? Such a big palace, royal father is so lonely!" His daughter seemed to be quite distant from him now.

Shang Wuxin sneered, "This poison does not harm the body!"

Emperor Shang suddenly sat up from the bed. Although he had an ill look on his face, there was nothing wrong with his body. Originally, Emperor Shang was surprised, but after hearing Shang's explanation, he looked at Shang Wuxin in shock and said after a long while, "Bastard!" Even royal father has fallen into your trap! "

Now that he thought about how his daughter delivered some pastries to him a few days ago, he felt that his daughter was extremely filial and had finished all of them. Afterwards, he coughed from time to time with a sickly face, as if he was about to leave at any time.

"You're too stupid!" If not for the fact that Emperor Shang wasn't on guard, he wouldn't have been poisoned. However, the poison she gave Emperor Shang from Ye Yizhe was harmless, it only made people look weak on the surface. If the imperial physician couldn't diagnose it, how could the Emperor dare to touch those people?

"You. You. "Do you want to poison me?" Emperor Shang was angered. He did not think that his daughter had schemed against him. He was not really angry, but he felt helpless about his daughter's audacity.

"Don't worry, I won't die!" Shang didn't seem to care at all.

"Scram for This Emperor!" Emperor Shang could not take it anymore, seeing that Shang had no heart to get up and leave, he shouted, "Get the hell back here, you unfilial son!" It was a pity that a certain someone had strutted away, leaving only Emperor Shang trembling in rage on his bed.

The moment Shang Xin walked out of the palace, Lin Jia Er came to his side and looked at the crown prince in admiration, "The crown prince has incredible foresight and many forces have moved as if they wanted to take the jail, even those who have been planted in the palace are panicking a little!"

Shang Wuxin smiled, today's plan was to disperse the Duke of Qing's forces. After all, no matter how loyal these henchmen were to their own lives, they would only put him first. They would use their own forces, and Shang did not want these forces to fluctuate.

"Give the order that if any of the palace guards make any move, kill them on the spot!" Shang Tong's expression did not change as he gave the order. This time, he must eliminate all the unstable elements in the palace, so that he could be at ease in the future.

It was already too late when Duke Qing found out. All those powers, which had been planted in the palace by the court officials, had been exterminated tonight. Red blood was poured throughout the entire imperial palace, and the dead bodies were moved away one by one to burn.
