Chapter 538: Hear

Hearing Concubine Zheng Guifei mention Empress Xu and the crown prince again, King Ning subconsciously frowned. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

He has been competing with the prince's brother almost since he was born, and he has been competing for more than 20 years before he won or lost after King Duan was crowned prince, but from now on, they will have to compete again.

But......

I don't know if it's because he and Concubine Zheng Guifei are always doing a big rebellious thing now, King Ning always feels that this matter can't be so easy, and besides, he has been fighting with the prince for so many years, whether it is Empress Xu or the prince, seeing that Emperor Yuanchang has been abnormal for half a year, will he not be prepared at all?

King Ning did not believe it.

He looked at Concubine Zheng with some worries, and said, "Mother, but Empress Xu and the crown prince ...... there."

"Empress Xu and the crown prince?" Zheng Guifei couldn't help but sneer when she heard these two people, "Emperor, you have been fighting with the crown prince for so many years, but at least, you can't compare with the crown prince in terms of who is ruthless." ”

Ruthless?

King Ning was very puzzled.

He looked at Concubine Zheng and waited for Concubine Zheng's explanation.

Concubine Zheng shook her head gently, "Do you think that the emperor has been so abnormal in the past six months, and Empress Xu and the crown prince will not know the reason at all?"

King Ning was stunned at first, and then looked at Concubine Zheng Guifei in shock, "What does the concubine mean, Queen Xu and the crown prince, they know ......"

Concubine Zheng nodded, affirming King Ning's guess, "Queen Xu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she can sit on the phoenix chair peacefully for so many years, and finally step on our mother and son, and push her son to the position of the crown prince, if she is not very clear about the reason for the emperor's abnormality, how can she be quiet for so long and do nothing?"

King Ning was a little difficult to digest for a while.

He always thought that what he and Concubine Zheng had done, no one in this palace knew about it except themselves, after all, this was a great rebellion, and anyone who knew about it would bring them ruin.

But now, Zheng Guifei told him that not only did someone know, but that person was also their biggest opponent, King Ning and Zheng Guifei?

But......

"But the mother, if this is the case, why would Empress Xu and the crown prince be so receptive, aren't they worried......" King Ning was still puzzled.

Concubine Zheng Guifei followed with a somewhat sarcastic smile on her face.

She looked out of the open windows in the temple.

Today's weather is a little gloomy, looking like a mountain rain is coming, and a big tree in the middle of the courtyard is swaying in the wind, casting a shadow on the ground.

Zheng Guifei looked at the shadow, and even her eyes seemed to be stained with shadows.

"The emperor ......," Zheng Guifei said, "Do you think that in this palace, only our mother and son are waiting for the emperor to make a big trip? Empress Xu and the crown prince are orthodox, as long as the emperor dies and does not leave any edict, the crown prince can naturally ascend to the throne, you can tell me, why do they want to expose what we have done? Just to risk being reprimanded by the emperor and step on our mother and son?"

King Ning obviously hadn't thought about this, and he was a little sluggish for a while.

He and the crown prince are both sons of Emperor Yuanchang, but one plotted to let Emperor Yuanchang die earlier, and the other knew about it, but pretended not to know, and then waited to see Emperor Yuanchang die.

And all this is to be able to sit on that dragon chair.

For a moment, King Ning felt that this palace was worthy of being the darkest place in many people's hearts.

But......

As long as you can ascend to the throne and overlook the world, what can you count as these?

Thinking like this, King Ning was immediately relieved.

Turning forward from the history books, Shi's father and brother are not only on the throne, since he wants to sit on the dragon chair and save the benevolence of these women, what big thing can he achieve?

So, King Ning nodded at Concubine Zheng to show his understanding.

The mother and son were talking about this kind of secret matter in the hall, and outside the hall, Emperor Yuanchang stood under the tree that was swaying in the wind, but his heart was full of chills.

It was because the medicinal effect of Jin Dan was weak, so he came to find Concubine Zheng in advance.

But I didn't want to hear such astonishing words.

Therefore, Concubine Zheng sent Jin Dan to him, which was clearly premeditated?

Moreover, in order to let him take the bait, Zheng Guifei did not hesitate to hurt the child in her womb?

Emperor Yuanchang felt extremely weak when he came out of the imperial study, but after listening to the conversation between Concubine Zheng and King Ning completely, he felt that the coldness in his heart was far greater than his physical discomfort.

In the past six months, he didn't know that this golden pill must be harmful, but for the sake of the addictive health feeling, even if Emperor Yuanchang knew that it was harmful, he couldn't help but go to Yonghe Palace again and again and take over the golden pill from Concubine Zheng.

But now it seems that he is clearly swallowing one poison after another into his stomach.

At this moment, Emperor Yuanchang, who was wise for a lifetime, was at a loss, and he even began to be unable to distinguish what was true in this world.

After waiting behind the trunk for a long time, to make sure that the mother and son in the hall had not attracted the attention of the mother and son, Emperor Yuanchang left quietly with staggering steps.

He did not return to the study.

After decades on the throne, no matter how much he didn't forget about political affairs, Emperor Yuanchang didn't have the idea of dealing with those national affairs this time.

He went straight back to the Qianqing Palace.

The Qianqing Palace was deserted at this time, and Emperor Yuanchang waved all the palace people away, and then lay on the dragon bed covered with a bright yellow brocade quilt, closing his eyes and thinking about the bits and pieces of this long time.

What he was most proud of before was that he had not been affected by anyone or anything since he ascended the throne for many years, and he had always maintained the clarity that a monarch should have, but since when did he gradually deviate from his way of doing things, and he didn't know it?

Be......

From the time Zheng Guifei took over the golden pill, or was it even earlier, when he gradually had a preference between King Duan and King Ning?

Scenes of the past appeared in Emperor Yuanchang's heart, and even with his eyes closed, Emperor Yuanchang's face couldn't help but show a slight pain.

He used to always think that the last thing he needed for a monarch was those so-called feelings, otherwise it would be easy to fall into the kindness of a woman, so he never really cared about the people around him over the years.

His wife, his son, his harem's concubine, his courtier, his only sister......

Wait a minute.

Only Zheng Guifei.

Emperor Yuanchang has always been different from Zheng Guifei, perhaps because Zheng Guifei is the only one of all the palace concubines in the harem who was brought by his own will, and even with him, he was a little different from King Ning, who was the second son.
