"By the way, father! Today, some adults in the court asked about the cause of Prince Long'an's death?"

"The palace claimed that Prince Long'an died of an emergency and the imperial physician also went to inspect it. He died suddenly, but... many adults privately heard that Prince Long'an died suddenly caused by excessive drinking!"

“Overdue alcohol?”

Master Zheng Si nodded, "After Prince Long'an was deprived of the title of King Qing, he was very dissatisfied with the emperor's actions, but was resentful. He drank all day long in the mansion to drown his sorrows. He was scolded by the emperor for hurting people because of drunkenness. It seems that Prince Long'an really had alcoholism, and it is possible that he died of alcoholism. However, his reputation for alcoholism was indecent, so he pretended to die suddenly with an emergency, and all of them were famous behind him!"

Prince Longan is young, so why shouldn't he die of excessive drinking? However, Master Zheng Si is a little right. The cause of Prince Longan's death must be difficult to describe, and it is even more difficult to describe than death by excessive drinking. Therefore, he claimed that he died of an emergency. In order to fear people's suspicion, he deliberately released the suspicion of excessive drinking, so that people believe that Prince Longan's death is like this! The Empress Dowager was really "thoughtful" in thinking, knowing that the adults in the court were not willing to believe those high-sounding rhetoric, so he took a walk and found a slightly lighter "truth". But who could have thought that there was another truth behind this "truth"?

"What? Is there anything else that is strange about Prince Long'an's death?" Seeing that Xu Shu's analysis of the situation just now calm and clear, when she mentioned the cause of Prince Long'an's death, Master Zheng Si couldn't help but think more.

Xu Shu shook her head, "I just think that Prince Longan shouldn't have died of illness at such a young age. It turned out that he died of alcoholism! Prince Longan is the emperor's only descendant, but he died of alcoholism. The concubines in the mansion may be blamed..."

Master Zheng Si's heart skipped a beat. If Prince Longan really drank to death by drinking, the people who served around him did not promptly dissuade him, this would be a crime! Zheng Wanli, who is the person next to the prince, must be punished, and the Zheng family will be implicated... But for the sake of dignity, the Empress Dowager announced to the public that Prince Longan died suddenly due to illness, and on the surface, it would not make things difficult for Zheng Wanli, but he would definitely not be able to swallow this breath behind his back. It is not certain how he targeted the Zheng family...

No wonder Xu Shu just asked the Zheng family not to act rashly. Now the Deng family may hate the Zheng family in their hearts, hating the Zheng family for ruining the Deng family's plan. If the Zheng family has any abnormal movement, the Deng family will definitely inspire all the ministers to attack him. The Zheng family has really become the one who stands out!

Very dangerous...

Fortunately, it’s okay! Fortunately, I woke up in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable and I almost became the eternal sinner of the Zheng family!

Master Zheng Si felt very grateful at this moment, "A thought of a mistake almost made the entire Zheng family doom!"

"But the Zheng family has really formed a bond with the Deng family since then, and they can never be able to protect themselves!" Xu Shu said lightly, "Crown Prince Long'an died, the Deng family lost its bargaining chips, and they were furious. They always had to find someone to bear its anger. The Zheng family is undoubtedly the best target, so before the new target appears, the Zheng family must be calm!"

"A new target?" Master Zheng Si was stunned for a moment.

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Didn't my father forget that Dayin has a prince thousands of miles away!"

"King Pingning!" Mr. Zheng Si finally referred to whom the new target Xu Shu said.

"I guess no one mentioned any words about King Pingning at the court meeting today!"

Master Zheng Si nodded, "Everyone thought about everything he could think about, almost all the princes have been mentioned, and even the young Qing and Princesses have been mentioned, but no one mentioned King Pingning!"

The decree that asked King Pingning to go to Rouran for quality was given by the emperor himself. Although the emperor is unconscious now, he is still alive after all. If someone takes the risk of referring King Pingning and the emperor suddenly wakes up, it would be bad? Isn’t this openly disobeying the emperor’s will? No one dares to take this risk, even the Fu family dares not, but if the emperor does not wake up until tomorrow, the Fu family should be much more at ease!

"All the princes were mentioned, but they were not recognized by everyone, right? But no one mentioned King Pingning... The Fu family is really smart. Even though they know that people are in panic now, no matter what they say, someone will refute it. It would be better to let everyone calm down first and calm down before they can think about who is the most suitable candidate!"

If you want to promote it, you will first suppress it. The Fu family is well aware of it!

"I guess tomorrow's court meeting will be even more lively!"

Master Zheng Si's face became even more serious. He thought that he would have to spend all day in the palace tomorrow, so he had to cheer up and analyze the situation. He also had to pay attention to the Deng family's every move. He was worried and felt exhausted.

Mrs. Zheng Si couldn't help feeling distressed after seeing it, "Master, go and rest. You are not a young man anymore. You can't bear it if you follow one day this day!"

Master Zheng Si was indeed exhausted and nodded modestly, "I'll get up early tomorrow, so I'll rest in the room today!" Mrs. Zheng Si hurriedly arranged for someone to clean up the room. When I got empty, I ordered the kitchen, "Make some easy-to-carry snacks, it's best to have one mouthful of one. After it's done, I'll take them to the master's entourage and let him take them with me!"

"Prepare another pair of sheepskin knee pads. I just saw a crease on the knee behind my father's official uniform. My father should have been kneeling for a long time today, and it is indispensable tomorrow!"

"Yes, yes!" Mrs. Zheng Si nodded repeatedly in agreement, "I knelt on Prince Long'an and had to kneel on the emperor. I knelt on the emperor and the empress dowager. It's so cold that the master's legs must have suffered! Jinzhi, go and get a hot and coarse salt bag to warm the master's legs!"

Mrs. Zheng Si made arrangements and then pulled Xu Shu and said, "It's so late, you're hungry, so eat some midnight snack before going back!"

Xu Shu nodded, "I'm really hungry after saying so long!"

"You've been miserable!" Mrs. Zheng Si stroked Xu Shu's hand with emotion, "I said I wanted to bring you to the Zheng family to enjoy the happiness, but I haven't lived a good life for a day. I also have to think about the Zheng family with all my energy. The master is really good and safe. However, I want to seek wealth and danger. Thanks to you, the master gave up his thoughts!"

"We are a family, and we all prosper and lose together!"

"Yes, we are a family!" Mrs. Zheng Si held Xu Shu's hand tightly, and a crystal light flashed in her eyes, "Okay, hurry up and eat, go back and rest after eating, and I will go to Prince Long'an's funeral tomorrow!"
