Chapter 203 The Drunkard's Ambition
Concubine Zhang and the eldest prince were both stunned, caught off guard by Wang Xi.
But they reacted immediately and quickly saluted to receive the order.
Wang Xi immediately unfolded the imperial edict and read it out:
"The eldest prince Li Xian, as the eldest son of the royal family, did not think about his duty as a role model, but instead disrespected the elders and the young, and let the dog commit crimes in the palace, hitting Feng Zhaoyuan and the fetus in her belly."
"His heart is worthy of death, and his crime is unforgivable."
"Order the eldest prince Li Xian to leave the palace and reflect on his mistakes today. If there is no imperial will, he cannot return to the palace at will."
"If there is any violation, he will be expelled to his fiefdom and will never be allowed to return to Beijing!"
The content of the imperial edict is not much, but every sentence is heartbreaking.
Concubine Zhang and the eldest prince knelt on the ground with dull expressions, and their brains seemed to stop working.
Wang Xi closed the imperial edict and held it in front of the eldest prince with both hands, waiting for him to receive the order.
"Your Highness, it's time to thank the Emperor and accept the decree."
Wang Xi saw that the Emperor had not responded for a long time, so he reminded him softly.
The Emperor woke up as if from a dream, looked at the imperial edict in front of him, and stretched out his trembling hands.
"No, I can't accept the decree!"
"Eunuch Wang, please help me pass on the message, I want to see His Majesty!"
No matter how much Concubine Zhang hated eunuchs on weekdays, she could only be polite to Wang Xi at this time.
With a faint smile on her face, Wang Xi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is not in Ganlu Palace, but should be discussing matters in Zichen Palace. Please go back, Concubine Zhang."
"Your Highness, please accept the decree."
Wang Xi said, and urged again.
When Concubine Zhang heard the word Zichen Palace, her expression was stunned, and she didn't say anything more.
The Emperor took the imperial edict with trembling hands, and replied excitedly:
"Your son accepts the decree!"
And Li Xuan, who was observing secretly, was even more shocked.
"Ah?"
"He was kicked out so soon?"
"Is the eldest prince finished?"
Li Xuan tilted his head, not understanding what was going on.
Pang Ju also tilted his head, and he was even more puzzled.
Because Pang Ju didn't even understand the meaning of the imperial edict, he only knew that the human woman who had terrified him just now had another violent emotional fluctuation.
Pang Ju had become accustomed to the emotional fluctuations of the human woman, and was no longer surprised.
After Wang Xi delivered the edict, he walked into Ganlu Palace.
General Manager Shang stood aside and looked at the distraught mother and son.
Concubine Zhang glared at General Manager Shang with resentment, and then said to the eldest prince:
"Xian'er, go back to Qingshu Palace first, and leave this matter to me."
"It's not a big deal, don't worry about it."
Concubine Zhang patted the eldest prince on the shoulder, and then led people away on her own. Judging from the direction, it should not be going back to Qingshu Palace.
The eldest prince was stunned. He did not expect his mother to react like this.
Butler Shang did not care about Concubine Zhang. He just bowed and left.
As for the big black dog, it was left to the eldest prince.
From the beginning to the end, no one cared whether the dog was his.
After being taken to Ganlu Palace by Butler Shang, he was immediately hit with an imperial edict, which directly determined the future of the eldest prince.
The eldest prince looked at the embarrassed appearance of the big black dog, his eyes full of indifference.
He looked around, and then ordered his attendants:
"Take the dog back first, I will be back later."
"Your Highness..."
The eldest prince's attendant stepped forward, full of worry.
"Go and do it, I'm fine."
The eldest prince waved his hand and stepped directly to other directions to leave the scope of Ganlu Palace.
Li Xuan and Fat Ju hurriedly followed.
He always felt that the eldest prince's reaction was a little strange.
No matter how cunning he was, he would have to react to such bad news.
But compared to Li Xuan's expectations, the eldest prince's reaction was too calm.
"If he leaves the palace, the position of the crown prince may have nothing to do with him, right?"
"This guy is also unlucky. Although he is the eldest son, he is not the legitimate son of the queen."
Li Xuan shook his head and sighed for the unlucky eldest prince.
But they followed the eldest prince to a place with few people and found that the eldest prince's steps gradually became lighter.
An uncontrollable smile began to appear on his face.
Seeing this weird scene, Li Xuan couldn't help but be shocked.
"Crazy, he is finally crazy!"
The eldest prince looked at the imperial edict in his hand, and his eyes flashed with joy.
That night, the eldest prince, who was in a good mood, had a sumptuous dog meat hot pot and called his younger brothers and sisters.
Concubine Zhang had not returned yet, so the fourth prince and the sixth princess didn't know what had happened.
Seeing that the eldest prince was in a good mood, they accompanied him to eat a dog meat hot pot.
Li Xuan and Fat Ju saw this and mourned for the big black dog for three seconds. Finally, they swallowed their saliva and left Qingshu Palace.
Fat Orange was confused today, and only remembered the horror of Concubine Zhang and the fragrant hot pot at the end.
…
The next day.
The imperial edict spread throughout the palace like wings.
Everyone knew that the eldest prince was about to be expelled from the palace and set up his own residence in advance because he let his dog hit Feng Zhaoyuan.
But because it happened in a hurry, he didn't have the corresponding title and fiefdom, and he was suddenly expelled from the palace in a mess.
For a while, the eldest prince's departure from the palace became the topic of conversation behind everyone's back.
On the way to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, everyone Li Xuan met was talking about it.
Some were waiting to see the joke, and some were worried.
Everyone has different positions, and naturally reacts to things differently.
When he came to the courtyard of Shang Zongguan, Shang Zongguan and Zhao Feng had already been waiting here, drinking tea and chatting together. Seeing their relaxed appearance, they seemed to be in a good mood.
"Meow--"
Li Xuan jumped onto the stone table and greeted him.
Shang, the chief steward, had prepared a teacup for him and poured him a cup of tea.
"Ah Xuan, you're here early." Shang, the chief steward, greeted him.
In the morning, after Zhao Feng taught Yu'er martial arts, he made an appointment with Li Xuan to meet at the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Li Xuan guessed that they might have something to do with the eldest prince.
As expected, Zhao Feng said:
"Ah Xuan, I'm here to trouble you today."
"I want you to help me keep an eye on Qingshu Palace."
"If Concubine Zhang has any unusual movements, please notify me in time."
"Of course, it would be better if we can get some useful information."
"I owe you a favor for this matter, how about it?" Zhao Feng made his request.
This time he did not prepare his own task reward, but asked Li Xuan to help with favors.
Li Xuan did not feel at a disadvantage at all.
Sometimes, the value of favors is more valuable than specific task rewards, and he still understands this truth.
In the relationship so far, Zhao Feng has at least been kind and righteous to Li Xuan, and has never treated Li Xuan unfairly.
Although he occasionally bullies Li Xuan, it is just for fun.
There has never been a conflict of interest between them, and most of the time it is mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation.
And there is also a relationship with Shang Zongguan, Li Xuan is very happy to maintain a long-term friendly relationship with Zhao Feng.
Therefore, favors are a good task reward for him.
But according to Zhao Feng's task requirements, if it is just surveillance, Mao Ba and the other three can do it.
But if he wants to get useful information, he can only do it himself.
After all, although Mao Ba and the others have grown well now, they still can't understand human language, even the smartest Fatty Orange is the same.
This matter can only be done by Li Xuan himself.
But anyway, he is not so busy recently, and it is a good opportunity to let Zhao Feng owe him a favor.
After all, when he got the treasures for himself before, although Li Xuan also helped with some tasks, he still owed a favor to the Wind Chaser Rabbit.
Now is a good opportunity to repay this favor.
Li Xuan drank the tea in front of him, meowed and agreed to this matter.
Zhao Feng and the chief monk looked at each other, their faces full of joy.
"Okay, okay, I knew that Ah Xuan was reliable."
Li Xuan agreed and was about to go to Qingshu Palace to watch, but Zhao Feng hurriedly carried him back.
"Ah Xuan, don't rush to go."
"Let me tell you about this matter, so you can have a bottom line."
Li Xuan was stunned, not knowing what Zhao Feng wanted to say.
He also took a general look yesterday and understood what was going on.
The eldest prince's dog bumped into Feng Zhaoyuan, and then Emperor Yongyuan knew about it. Emperor Yongyuan probably had long disliked this eldest son, and then took the opportunity to kick him out.
Concubine Zhang and the eldest prince naturally could not accept this result.
After all, this is not the property of an ordinary family, but the world of Daxing.
Among the royal heirs, how many do not want the throne?
And Zhao Feng and the chief monk naturally follow Emperor Yongyuan.
Therefore, Li Xuan felt that they asked him to watch Concubine Zhang because they were afraid that she would think of a way to reverse the situation.
Seeing Li Xuan's confusion, Zhao Feng was not in a hurry. After putting him back on the stone table, he told the cause and effect.
It is true that a dog bumped into Feng Zhaoyuan.
But the dog was brought to Suliuyuan by Zhao Feng.
When Li Xuan heard this, his face was full of contempt, with an expression of "I knew you, old man, are not a good person".
Zhao Feng was despised by the cat, and even with his face, he couldn't help coughing.
"I'm doing this for your majesty."
Li Xuan nodded repeatedly with a look of disgust, full of perfunctory.
"Yes, yes, you Zhao Feng are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and you have devoted yourself to the country!"
Li Xuan glanced at Zhao Feng, too lazy to expose the old man.
Seeing that Li Xuan didn't believe him at all, Zhao Feng had no choice but to continue explaining.
The big black dog was indeed the small dog that the eldest prince had raised before.
It was just that during the animal training competition, the eldest prince who lost the competition threw the dog on the stage and walked away.
Zhao Feng would naturally not miss this opportunity. He went up and took the dog back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to raise it. It would always be useful in the future.
If the eldest prince remembered to ask for it later, Zhao Feng could also do a favor.
If the eldest prince forgot, he could use it like this now.
Feng Zhaoyuan was indeed hit by the big black dog, but she was just scared by the size of the big black dog and was not injured at all.
Zhao Feng pulled the dog over, and he was also acting on orders, and by the way, he told Feng Zhaoyuan what to do.
Yes, he was obeying the order of Emperor Yongyuan.
Zhao Feng was just an executor from the beginning to the end of this matter.
"Ah Xuan, you must have heard that the eldest prince was going to be driven out of the palace and separated from the palace, right?"
Li Xuan nodded. He wanted to say that he was actually there yesterday.
Seeing Li Xuan nod, Zhao Feng continued:
"But I'll be honest with you, the eldest prince will not be driven out of the palace this time."
Li Xuan's eyes were full of questions.
Didn't the imperial edict come?
Is Emperor Yongyuan going to break his promise?
