Chapter 533: Each family reacts to
Prince Yu’s Mansion.
Cuitingxuan.
Wei Qingwan had just regained his composure in the past few days when he was shocked speechless by the sudden news.
The Qi family... was ransacked?
The Qi family, which had so much power, collapsed like this?
"Where is the prince? How is the prince?" Wei Qingwan asked anxiously.
"I don't know, but I heard that the prince is in the mansion now and has not gone anywhere... There are many people from the military and horse department coming outside, and it seems that no one in the mansion can get out..." Cui He could find out. The news is limited.
"Then... what about Third Young Master Qi? Where is he?" Wei Qingwan continued to ask.
"I don't know, but I think they were arrested. I heard that everyone in the Qi family is in jail."
Wei Qingwan slumped on the chair, not knowing what to do for a moment.
She had just cheered up a few days ago, feeling that as long as she went to Prince Yu's side concubine, her hope would still be there.
But today, reality gave her another blow!
If the Qi family really fell, would it mean that King Yu would also lose his position as heir apparent?
"No, no, absolutely not!" Wei Qingwan shook her head quickly, refusing to accept this reality.

Lu family.
Mr. Lu found Lu Yuhong, who was practicing gun dancing in the practice room at home after recovery, and told him that Qi's house had been ransacked.
These days, Lu Yuhong spends most of his time recuperating at home due to his injuries. Even if he occasionally goes out, he is accompanied by the Lu family's guards. Therefore, Mr. Lu knows that Lu Yuhong has never gone to King Jing Chulan, and Lu Yuhong is also unaware of what is happening now. .
"Grandpa, you know that I have never cared about the affairs of the court. I have good relations with Chu Lan because he is Chu Lan. I will help him with some insignificant things, but when it comes to the real battle for the crown prince, I I will not participate." Lu Yuhong said.
"It used to be like this, and I didn't plan to get involved, but things have changed a bit now, so I'm going to explain it to you today so that you can be mentally prepared." "What's the difference? Grandpa, do you have something to support?
" Candidate for the crown prince?" Lu Yuhong asked.
"You owe Princess Rui two lives." Old Mrs. Lu said.
"I know this, grandpa. I will repay what I owe her. From now on, I will go through fire and water as long as she needs me!" "
How do you go through fire and water? This favor is not yours alone, it also belongs to our Lu family. "Mr. Lu said solemnly.
"But Grandpa, I know you don't want to get involved in the court situation, and Prince Rui's body does not allow him to participate in the battle for the crown prince." "I don't want to get involved in the court situation,
but If there is really any dispute, our Lu family will do our best to protect the palace, do you understand?" Mr. Lu explained.
"I understand." Lu Yuhong nodded.
"So...if King Jing wants to take action against King Rui, do you understand which side you and I will stand on?" Old Mrs. Lu asked.
"Grandpa, Chu Lan will not do anything to Prince Rui. He has no grudge against Prince Rui!" "
You, you, can you be more thoughtful! Is this a question of whether there is grudge? Prince Rui is the wife of Queen Xu Sheng is theoretically the only legitimate prince. He is in poor health now. What if his health gets better in the future? Chu Lan is the prince and the one who wants to be the emperor. If he is not hard-hearted, he will not be able to sit in that position. !"
"But grandpa... I still don't think Chu Lan will do that." "
Then just think of me as hypothetical. What if Chu Lan wants to take action?" "Then... then my grandson will protect Prince Rui's Mansion.
"My grandson will definitely repay this kindness." "As long as you understand, I, the son of the Lu family, must put my family, country and people first, followed by righteousness, and I must live an upright life, worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of myself . Your conscience, and then your own life, you know?" Old Mrs. Lu said.
"My grandson understands!"

For the next few days, people could see soldiers in armor walking through the streets.
Several people closely related to the Qi family were arrested.
The Wei family waited for several days but Wei Yichen did not come back. It was unknown whether he intentionally avoided the Wei family or was delayed by court affairs, so he stayed out for several days without returning to his house.
On the contrary, they were waiting for the news that Wei Yichen had been promoted to the Imperial Academy.
After the emperor dismissed Qi Yansong and the original cabinet team, he was in urgent need of fresh blood to fill the cabinet.
According to convention, cabinet members are selected from the Hanlin Academy, so a group of former officials of the Hanlin Academy were promoted to Hanlin Academy bachelors and entered the cabinet.
As a result, the official positions of other people in the Hanlin Academy were promoted accordingly.
Wei Yichen is one of them, and he is also the one who has risen the fastest among them.
The Imperial Academy's Attendant was promoted to the sixth rank, and his previous position as editor was the sixth rank. In just half a year, Wei Yichen advanced to the first rank. This is not unlucky.
In addition to the fact that Qi Yansong was punished this time, Wei Yichen's own ability is also a very important factor.
It is said that Wei Yichen performed very well in his position in the past six months and did not form cliques with others for personal gain, which was highly appreciated by the emperor.
After hearing the news reported by their servants, Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong looked extremely ugly.
Mrs. Wei looked at her eldest son Wei Minghong and her second son Wei Mingyong who were both looking good in front of her and said, "It seems that Yichen made the right move. He saved their third family by turning against you, and our Wei family is now in the middle of the court." Those who have made great achievements are all people from the third house."
After hearing what Mrs. Wei said, everyone realized that the reason why Mrs. Wei agreed to Wei Yichen's unreasonable request was because of this consideration.
"Mom, if Yichen knew something was going to happen to the Qi family, why didn't he tell us earlier? Why did he have to come up with such a roundabout way? He clearly only cares about himself and doesn't care about our lives!" Wei Mingyong complained.
"Yes, he should mention it to us at least so that we can be mentally prepared." Wei Minghong agreed.
Although he and Wei Mingyong did not deal with each other, Wei Minghong's views were consistent with Wei Mingyong's on this matter.
"Madam, did you know this all along?" Old Mrs. Wei looked at Mrs. Wei next to him in surprise.
"I just guessed the kid Yichen's plan, but I wasn't completely sure. This kid is smart and calm in doing things. I thought at the time that he didn't do it out of anger, so I thought this way." "So that's the case, no wonder Madam
. You agreed." Only now did Mr. Wei really understand. At that time, he blamed his wife. Now it seems that her wife is more foresight than him.
"But mother, what will the two of us do in this case?" Wei Mingyong asked anxiously.
"Yes, mother, you can't be so partial. The third bedroom is saved, what about our first bedroom and the second bedroom?" Wei Minghong said.
