Just like having a residence in the Prince's East Palace, Li Fan also has his own small courtyard in Prince Ren's Mansion.

The difference is that in the past, other colleagues lived in the same yard temporarily together, but now he is the only one left.

Li Fan also knew in his heart that Lin Yao, Sun Bin, Zhu Zhe and others before would never be able to return to King Ren again.

Even if King Ren becomes the crown prince in the future, they are not qualified to follow King Ren.

How could some people with great moral flaws become officials of the prince?

Isn’t this ridiculous to the world?

At most, they will give them some compensation, let them do some business, and become rich people.

From now on, I will choose a new subordinate for Your Highness again.

Of course, the prince's Eastern Palace belonged not only to Li Fan, but the rest were wiped out.

In fact, there is another one who has also withstood the test.

That is the prince's tutor Ren Xihai.

Behind Mr. Ren Xihai's seniority, Prime Minister Cao Yi and Deputy Prime Minister Nangong Ji were once his subordinates.

He is a scheming and serious person, and he is a rare minister, so of course it is impossible to join forces with him.

However, this time, the collective corruption incident of officials from the Eastern Palace broke out, which made Ren Xihai so angry that seven holes were smoking.

He immediately went outside the palace and knelt down, begging Emperor Jinghe to convict him of death because he did not teach the prince well, which made the prince make such a big mistake.

Ren Xihai did not say that the prince took the lead in corruption, but that the prince was sheltering his subordinates and used the prince's identity to exchange for the emperor's magnanimity towards those beasts.

This is completely contrary to ethics and the actions of betrayaling the subjects of the world.

Ren Xihai was so angry that he was determined to die.

Emperor Jinghe would definitely not be able to do what he wanted, so he quickly sent several people to persuade the old man to go back, but he just didn't leave and kept kneeling there.

In the end, the empress dowager came forward in person, and Ren Xihai left in disappointment.

But the next day he handed over his resignation, resigned and returned home.

Li Fan still felt a little regretful about this.

If Mr. Ren stayed in Prince Ren's mansion, it would still have a significant effect on the prince's momentum.

Li Fan, who was sighing, was lying alone on the chair in the festive atmosphere of the Manren Mansion.

He looked in the direction of the palace, looking at the invisible palace, with a calm expression, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

...

At the same time, inside the palace.

The King of Shou, who had been practicing boxing for a long time, was lying on the rush cushion to rest.

The naughty child's eyes were turning around, and obviously his mind was moving now.

Before I knew it, there was a cry outside.

"Your Highness...Your Highness..."

The naughty child said lazily: "If you have farts, just let it go!"

"The emperor has sent someone to bring you bird's nest!" A middle-aged eunuch smiled so hard that his face was full of wrinkles, "Get up and thank you!"

Recently, the palace maids and eunuchs in Yonghe Palace have become more and more respectful to the naughty child, Shouwang.

It’s not just because Shouwang has changed a lot.

More importantly, the position of the prince is now hanging in the air. As one of the emperor's two sons, King Shou is not without any chance!

If King Shou became the crown prince and then ascended the throne, wouldn’t they be sent?

Even if the hope is small, there is hope!

But King Shou himself was not interested at all.

Even though Concubine Chen had mentioned it to him several times openly and secretly, he did not respond at all.

How tired is the emperor?

It's the best one like my master.

Look, didn’t you sneak out of the capital a while ago and have been playing for more than two months?

I also went to the deep mountains and forests to catch a few of them for Changle. It was so exciting and interesting!

When I grew up, I would travel around with my master. Wouldn’t it be fun?

That's what naughty kids think and do the same.

Apart from studying and practicing martial arts, he only went to visit Emperor Jinghe, and did nothing else.

But Jing and Di thought that their younger son was good, very innocent and free and easy.

So recently his rewards to King Shou has increased a lot.

Although it was just a little thing, he felt that he needed to praise his son's behavior, but in the eyes of those who are interested, it was a very subtle signal.

For example, now, the eunuch in Yonghe Palace is happy because of his favor.

When King Shou heard what he said, he sighed helplessly, got up and looked at the eunuch in the palace carrying a food box, raised his hand slightly and closed it: "Ming'an thanks for your father's reward!"

"Okay, Your Highness, please accept it." The eunuch said with no expression on his face, "The bird's nest is cold and not delicious. Please enjoy it early. I will take my leave!"

"Um!"

King Shou took the food box, placed it next to it, and took the lid open.

What was revealed inside was a large soup bowl, but it was only half the portion, obviously because I was worried about spilling it out.

Accompanied by the middle-aged eunuch, the eunuch who came to deliver things walked out.

The middle-aged eunuch thought that he was the emperor's man, so his words were often pleasing.

But unexpectedly, the eunuch barely answered him and walked out of Yonghe Palace without saying a word.

"It's so rude!"

Watching his figure disappear into the darkness, the middle-aged eunuch spat softly and turned back.

The door is about fifty meters away from the naughty child’s practice room.

The middle-aged eunuch walked back to the door and saw that King Shou had drunk the bird's nest completely.

"The bird's nest tastes a bit bad today." King Shou put down the bowl and wiped his mouth and said, "You go and ask the imperial kitchen to make me a roast duck, so you need to be fatter...uh...uh..."

As he spoke, his brows suddenly frowned and showed a discomfortable expression.

The middle-aged eunuch was slightly surprised, "What's wrong, Your Highness? You...ahhhhh!!!"

The middle-aged eunuch's eyes were almost glaring out.

What did he see?

He saw blood flowing from the corner of King Shou's mouth, and then as King Shou opened his mouth and wanted to say painful screams, the blood sprayed out for no money, and directly sprayed the rush mat into a blood-red color.

"Come on... come on..."

While the middle-aged eunuch screamed, several fist and kick masters who were still training around him also saw this scene, and they quickly shouted out.

He didn't wear shoes with a little anxious, so he ran out, shouting, "Come quickly... I'm not doing well with Shouwang... Hurry up and call the imperial doctor! Quickly... call the imperial doctor..."

However, at this moment, the naughty child had already fallen on the rush mat, trembling constantly, but the blood spit out of his mouth never stopped.

“Ahhhh…”

The screams of the crowd grew louder and louder.

In a blink of an eye, the entire Yonghe Palace was in chaos.

...

Emperor Jing He had already fallen asleep at this time.

Although it was still early, his mental state was not good recently, and he had to deal with too many things, which made him feel a little exhausted, so he went to bed early.

Even the favored concubines on weekdays have not been with him recently.

But Jing and Di's sleep quality is still not very good. They often wake up until midnight, and then lie in bed, unable to sleep or get up.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty..."

I don't know when, suddenly there was a loud shout outside.

Jing and Emperor slept unfamiliarly, so they opened their eyes suddenly.

"Who is outside?" he asked subconsciously.

When the emperor was sleeping, there were eunuchs and palace maids guarding the room, but they were huddled in the corner on weekdays, and they would only respond when the emperor needed it.

Only one eunuch replied: "Your Majesty, this is the voice of General Zhou."

"Zhou Ming?"

Jing and Emperor sat up.

Because it's summer, I don't wear much and the quilt is not thick, so it's convenient to get up.
