The Queen Mother frowned and looked at Gu Zhi for a long time, and finally laughed: "Very good." ”

Gu Zhirong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this level had passed.

A big palace maid hurriedly entered, and when she saw the Queen Mother talking to someone, she didn't dare to step forward, but only looked at Shen's mother.

Mother Shen immediately walked down and came to the side of the big palace maid. The palace maid whispered something, Shen's mother's face changed slightly, turned around, and hurriedly walked in.

"Queen Mother, the prince is coming this way. Mother Shen looked at the Queen Mother's report, but glanced at Gu Zhirong out of the corner of her eye.

"Oh, it's coming so fast. The Queen Mother straightened up slightly and looked at Gu Zhirong, "Gu Family Xiaowu, these hands of yours, let's write them down for the time being." Remember my words, if it is enough, if not, the mourning family will send someone to come and pick it up at any time. ”

The Queen Mother spoke a little faster, which made Gu Zhirong faintly feel that the Queen Mother didn't seem to want the Prince to know about this conversation between her and herself.

There was already the sound of steady footsteps outside, and the sound of the palace ladies outside saluting the prince in unison also came in.

However, there was no response from the prince.

Gu Zhirong was thinking that this prince was really arrogant and unreasonable, and he still did the same thing and ignored the palace maids in the Queen Mother's palace who saluted him.

As soon as he looked up, he saw that the prince had already come to him.

She was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand a little. The prince walked too fast.

The prince was dressed in a white robe, walked in a hurry, strode with meteors, tigers and tigers, and walked in front of Gu Zhirong without even untying the saber on his waist. Oh no, it should be in front of the Queen Mother and salute the Queen Mother.

Gu Zhirong saw the afterglow in the corner of the prince's eyes and swept himself. The expression that had been tense was visibly relaxed.

She had never seen the prince wearing a battle robe, his handsome face and snow-white robe made him look like a jade tree in the wind, and he had a different style, so she unconsciously glanced at him more.

The Queen Mother waved her hand to flatten the prince, looked at him with a smile and doted, and said, "The prince is dressed in calcium armor." Where is this going?"

The prince said: "Someone just gave a good suggestion to Erchen, saying that there is a shortcut to the bottom of the mountain in the back mountain, which can avoid the pursuers under the mountain. Erchen felt that this plan was feasible, so he first reported to the imperial grandmother and asked for the imperial grandmother's opinion. ”

The Queen Mother thought to herself, "Are you here to ask me for advice?" Obviously, I've already made a decision. Again. Obviously, I was talking to people inside, and you couldn't even wait for the briefing, so you broke straight in, this drunkard didn't mean to drink, can't you see that this old woman is bullying me?"

Although she thought so, there was no trace of reproach on the Queen Mother's face.

This prince has grown up under her watch, he is strict and polite, and rarely has such rudeness. Now. He would mess up for a girl, which she didn't expect.

She had taught the prince countless times: "If you want to ascend to that golden throne." If you want to become the ruler of the entire Jokhang, you must be as cold as iron and unmoved. Because feelings are the most fragile shortcomings of people, once they have affection, they have a weakness. ”

Now it seems as if her teaching had failed.

After all, the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, so she immediately gathered her thoughts, frowned and asked: "Prince, haven't you already sent a messenger to the capital to deliver the letter, why do you still send someone down the mountain......

When she said this, not only the Queen Mother's face changed, but even Shen's mother's face also changed.

Only the crown prince and Gu Zhirong looked as usual, because they had already guessed what might happen.

"This ......" After all, the Queen Mother has gone through countless ups and downs, but she was just a little stunned, and those shrewd eyes burst into sharp light again.

"The prince plans to go in person?" The queen mother saw the prince's military uniform, and quickly guessed the prince's intentions, and immediately resolutely vetoed, "No, the mourning family does not agree!"

The crown prince looked at the queen mother with a heavy expression: "Imperial grandmother, the son's trip is to move the rescue troops to Tongcheng, although I am in charge of the country for my father, but some procedures are still essential, especially the transfer of troops." If Erchen doesn't go there in person, how can he mobilize every soldier there?"

The Queen Mother was silent.

Indeed, the crown prince is not the emperor after all, although he has the power to mobilize the soldiers and horses in the capital, he must act according to the procedure. In extraordinary times, there are means of dealing with extraordinary times, the prince himself, and the Empress Dowager's handwritten letters, all of which are indispensable.

"Prince, do you really want to go in person?" Mother Shen's voice trembled a little, "How dangerous it is outside, those bandits are not vegetarians at all, besides, the sword does not have eyes, in case His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... you"

"Mother Shen!" the Queen Mother's stern voice sounded.

Mother Shen retreated with a look of shame.

The Queen Mother stood up and beckoned the Prince to sit beside her. She patted the prince's hand and said: "I think back then, your grandfather drove the expedition in person, the two sides opened the formation, and in the face of the enemy's million-strong division, your grandfather was not afraid, and the other party lost in terms of momentum, so in that battle, your grandfather defeated the enemy's million-strong army with 500,000 troops, which is unique in the history of our Jokhang." So the crown prince, the imperial grandmother supports you!"

Gu Zhirong looked at the Queen Mother with some admiration.

She had already heard that among the emperor's princes, the crown prince was the most like the first emperor in terms of his style of doing things. Therefore, the Queen Mother took the prince to her side when she was a child, taught him carefully, and laid the foundation for him as the future prince since he was a child, of course, this also poured the Queen Mother's life's efforts.

Now, due to the situation, the Queen Mother wants to send the prince she has built all her life to the battlefield, and life and death are up to heaven. This can't be regarded as a blow to her.

However, for the sake of the stability of the court and for the sake of the country, the Queen Mother decisively endured the pain and cut her love, this kind of mind and bearing can be done by very many people.

The Queen Mother is no longer entangled in whether the prince will go or not, she is more worried about the safety of the prince's trip: "There is a shortcut to the bottom of the mountain in the back mountain, is this news reliable? Also, those bandits under the mountain are fierce and ruthless, and they are by no means ordinary bandits gathering." The mourners see that they are by no means idle, and what you can think of, they may not be unexpected. Therefore, this trip must be well planned to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and there must be no mistakes. ”

The crown prince glanced at Gu Zhirong and said: "Imperial grandmother, please rest assured, the shortcut in the back mountain is very safe, it has to pass through heavy bushes, and there is a miasma, those pursuers can't find it, as long as we quietly go to the bottom of the mountain without knowing it, break through, and when those thieves mobilize people to chase after us, we have already gone away." ”

"Miasma?" the Queen Mother was taken aback, "The Imperial Grandmother has heard many times that the miasma in the mountains is the most poisonous, and it can kill people within a quarter of an hour, how can you get by?"

"Don't worry, Grandmother, I'll be able to pass through that miasma forest. The crown prince affirmed, "We have a way to break the miasma, and the imperial grandmother is relaxed." ”

"Really?" steady as the Queen Mother, in the face of the life of her most beloved grandson, she still lost her mind a little, "Is your method of breaking the miasma reliable?"

"Reliable. The crown prince said with a smile, "Grandmother really don't have to worry about me, I have worn miasma several times before, and this method is effective every time, and nothing happens at all." ”

Only then did the Queen Mother put her mind at ease.

The crown prince helped her sit down: "Imperial grandmother, grandson knows the importance of this trip, and also knows that this trip has both risks and opportunities, grandson will definitely try to avoid casualties, and strive to transfer all the soldiers and horses in Tongcheng to save the imperial grandmother and all the people in this temple." No matter who it is, no matter what the purpose, it can't infringe on my people of Jokhang!"

The last sentence of the crown prince was said proudly, and everyone listened to it proudly, and the queen mother slapped the plum blossom table on the couch: "Good job, it really deserves to be my good grandson! The imperial grandmother will repair a book now, let you take it to Tongcheng, transfer soldiers and horses, and save the people in the world!" (To be continued.) )
