Fake eunuchs in the harem

"Then what about using the Fifth Prince? Why not use him to kill the Queen Mother?"

Tao Er asked.

"That's a good idea, but before I kill the Queen Mother, I have one more thing to do."

The two smiled knowingly, tacit understanding.

Chapter 168

Sure enough, as Liu Hairui said, the fifth prince really came to him, and not long after the two of them had spoken, when they learned that there were rumors in the palace, the fifth prince couldn't sit still. In the emperor's ears, it was not bad, so he had to come to Liu Hairui immediately to discuss countermeasures.

Seeing the two drinking wine leisurely, the Fifth Prince's expression was a little displeased, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and walked in with a smile on his face.

"Fifth prince? Come here, let's have a drink together?"

Tao Er recruited: "Fortunately, Bishop Hai and I got drunk, why don't we have a drink together, how about?"

"I won't drink it, you can drink it."

The Fifth Prince sat aside and looked at the two of them.

The two of them didn't seem to take him seriously, they were still drinking and chatting happily, and they didn't see the fifth prince at all. After waiting for a long time, the fifth prince couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and walked in front of the two of them, and said in a low voice: "Bishop Hai, I have something to discuss with you."

"Oh, it's rare for the crown prince to have such a good mood. Well, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Liu Hairui put down his wine glass and looked at the Fifth Prince.

"I think Bishop Hai must have heard about it. Now someone in the palace is spreading rumors, saying that I am the mastermind behind the assassination of the emperor. I have just become the prince. How can I do such a rebellious thing? Therefore, I would like to ask Bishop Hai to help me clarify, if this matter reaches the ears of my father, it will be against me."

The fifth prince pleaded: "As long as Bishop Hai helps me, I am willing to listen to Bishop Hai."

"The fifth prince is serious. The pure will be clear and the turbid will be turbid. Since you haven't done such a thing, why worry about what others will say."

Liu Hairui thought for a while: "Then do you know who said this thing from?"

"I checked, and it came from Concubine Chunhong."

The Fifth Prince said with certainty.

"Then I have nothing to do, and it's not like you don't know that Concubine Chunhong is currently in favor, and it wasn't you and me who could bring her down."

Liu Hairui shook his head and said, "I really have no choice but to look at your own."

"Bishop Hai, I don't have any influence now, so how could I be her opponent?"

The fifth prince wondered: "Bishop Hai, you have always been resourceful, can you help me guide me?"

"If I were the Fifth Prince, I would use my own way to deal with him. She has her own way to deal with you. Don't you have a way to deal with her?"

Liu Hairui took a bite and put it lightly in his mouth: "This kind of thing is like eating. When you take one bite, others may have already eaten two bites, but if you don't eat, everything belongs to others. .”

"But I just can't figure out how to deal with her."

The fifth prince is still in trouble.

"Then go back and think about it until you figure it out, but don't worry, the Imperial Forest Army and I will always stand by your side. As long as things don't cause too much trouble, I can help you."

Liu Hairui gave the Fifth Prince a reassurance.

"It would be nice to have Bishop Hai's words."

The fifth prince's heart was finally relieved.

In the evening, the emperor had heard about the fifth prince, and sent someone to call Liu Hairui into the imperial study.

"Haichen, I believe you must have heard about the Fifth Prince, right?"

The emperor said with a bitter face: "What do you think of this matter?"

"Someone must have maliciously slandered."

Liu Hairui circling on both sides, the purpose is to make the Fifth Prince and Fake Chunhong attack each other, and reap the benefits for himself. If they want to continue to attack, they have to sow discord on the emperor's side.

"So, someone is going to frame the Fifth Prince on purpose, but I heard that this incident came from Concubine Chunhong."

The emperor said: "Could it be that they are at odds and mutually exclusive?"

"According to the slave, things will not be so simple. I am afraid that someone is obstructing it."

Liu Hairui pondered for a while and said, "Why don't you let them fight each other for a while? After a long time, the instigators will naturally show their feet, and then we can find out who is doing the tricks."

"If this continues, it will inevitably cause chaos in the palace."

The emperor shook his head: "This is inappropriate."

"Then there is no other way, either punish the Fifth Prince or punish Concubine Chunhong, now it's up to His Majesty how to choose?"

Liu Hairui looked at the emperor: "Besides this, there is no other way."

The emperor fell into deep thought and began to think deeply, not knowing how to choose.The fifth prince is his own son, and Concubine Chunhong is his beloved concubine, so it is really difficult for people to choose.

Chapter 169

After a long time, the emperor finally raised his head slightly: "Is there no way to get the best of both worlds?"

"No, Your Majesty, think about it, now they all regard each other as enemies, and even want to put each other to death. Your Majesty, if you don't choose, you can only let them fight."

Liu Hairui said eloquently: "Some things are not so easy to control."

"I am the Ninth Five-Year Lord, can't this matter be stopped? I will order them not to continue fighting."

The emperor said.

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought that even if they don't know how to fight, they will fight secretly. If it goes on for a long time, one side will definitely put the other side to death."

Liu Hairui said softly: "Your Majesty, please think again."

"This."

The emperor was in trouble again: "Then let them fight on. As long as no one is killed, everything is fine."

"Yes."

Liu Hairui took orders and came out from the imperial study. He wandered around the palace alone for a long time and heard some gossip. Most of the princes in the palace are now divided into three factions. One faction is actively moving towards the queen mother. Use the identity of the master of the harem to help him sit on the throne, and this faction is represented by the ten princes.The second faction is the Chunhongfei faction, represented by the eighteen princes, who hope that the favored Chunhongfei can help them ascend the future throne.The third faction is the neutral faction. These people are watching the situation and are ready to make fools of themselves at any time.

Walking to Concubine Chunhong's door, Liu Hairui stopped, and the Eighteenth Prince hurried towards Concubine Chunhong's bedroom, looking very anxious.

Liu Hairui snorted coldly, turned and left.
