The Emperor sneered, "I know what you're worried about, but I have my own reasons for doing this, so you don't have to say more, just step down." ”

Liu Shi didn't get up, looked at the emperor with teary eyes and said: "Your Majesty, no matter what you say, the crown prince is a legitimate prince, although he made a mistake, but this mistake is far from being grounded for half a year, is Your Majesty's ruling on the crown prince unfair?"

Xiao Hong felt upset and irritable inexplicably, and asked rhetorically: "As the national prince but ignoring the government, is there anything more serious than this?"

Liu's arrogance suddenly decreased a lot, and he said in a low voice: "I hope Your Majesty will take it lightly for the sake of his newlywed yesterday." ”

"Because yesterday's newlywed was late to the early dynasty, what did you say about the time he was late ten days ago, what should you say about the time he was late at the beginning of last month? Do you want to make all the ministers disappointed in my tutor before you give up?" Xiao Hong said angrily.

Liu Shi had a sad face and didn't know how to answer.

"You," Xiao Hong looked at her and sighed, "It's because of your blind protection of him that he has been so virtuous, and you still don't know how to reflect on it, which is too disappointing for me." ”

Liu was speechless.

Xiao Hong said again: "If you don't give him a severe punishment, he won't learn a lesson, so I won't change the verdict this time." As for the matter of letting King Guangxian come back to assist the government, it was also a decision made by me after careful consideration, after all, he is now the person who can assist me the most and is the most worthy of my trust. ”

Liu's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he said worriedly: "Your Majesty, you use him so much, have you ever thought about the drawbacks? Have you forgotten his life experience?"

"Except for me and you, there will be no third person in the Quanshu Kingdom who understands his origins," Xiao Hong replied, and as he said this, he suddenly froze and looked at the Liu family.

Liu's face slowly smiled, and said: "That's right, the two of us are the only ones in Quanshu Kingdom who know his life experience, and because of this, the concubine kindly reminded His Majesty that the concubine also has a temper, and if she is forced too hard, she doesn't dare to guarantee that she will miss his mouth one day." ”

Xiao Hong said sharply: "Don't you want to die?"

At the same time, a sense of fear tightly surrounded Xiao Hong, making Xiao Hong tremble.

Their husband and wife have always been in unison, but at this moment, it gives Xiao Hong a feeling - in order to help the prince, the Liu family may not hesitate to sacrifice the trust between husband and wife or even sacrifice themselves.

Being a mother is strong, and a woman's strong desire to protect her children sometimes makes it difficult for men to understand, and it is precisely because of this that Xiao Hong is unprecedentedly afraid, but he tries his best to hide it.

He bet on the nearly twenty-year relationship between her and him.

Of course, the Liu family still cares about the relationship between the two of them, but she is not willing to miss any opportunity to save the prince, so she looked up at Xiao Hong and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines have always rarely pleaded with you, this time please be lenient with the prince." ”

Xiao Hong said: "It's easy to talk about other things, but this matter must not be taken lightly." ”

Liu Shi hurriedly said: "How about changing it from half a year to three months? Three months is enough for him to reflect." ”

Seeing that Xiao Hong was unmoved, the Liu family said with a heart: "Your Majesty, the concubine has taken a step back, if Your Majesty still insists on the original decision, the concubine will ....... The concubine has said that the patience of the concubine is also limited. ”

Although Xiao Hong was scared in his heart, he remained unmoved on the surface, and roared angrily: "Are you threatening me?" After that, the words suddenly changed: "I have already issued the edict, how can I regret it first? In this way, if he behaves well during the lockdown, I can lift his lockdown two or three months in advance, so are you satisfied?"

The Liu family was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "The concubine is very satisfied, thank you Your Majesty." ”

Xiao Hong looked at her and said, "Queen, now that we have all taken a step back, don't use King Guangxian's life experience to blackmail me, otherwise I won't be polite even if you are the queen." ”

Liu Shi hurriedly said: "Yes, the concubine never mentioned it. He added with a smile: "The concubine has kept this matter secret for nearly twenty years, and His Majesty should also believe in the concubine on this basis." ”

Xiao Hong thought that although the grounding for three months was a little lighter, it would be good to stop the Liu family from making trouble, and it would be decided by the prince's performance at that time, so he had enough of his own way back, so he was a lot more settled, and said with a smile: "It's best, but you'd better not tell the prince about this news." ”

Liu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the concubine will never reveal half a point to him." ”

With that, she respectfully withdrew.

When she learned that the crown prince had been grounded for half a year, Zhang Chenhui suddenly sat down in her seat, and she didn't know what to do, and after a while, she asked the reporter: "Did Your Majesty say that you would punish me?"

The reporter shook his head.

Zhang Chenhui waved his hand to signal him to step back, caressing his pounding heart and thinking about things.

Should she take the initiative to apologize in front of the emperor? After all, this matter has nothing to do with her.

She was still thinking about it here, and someone over there reported: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is back." ”

Zhang Chenhui hurriedly got up and went out.

She saw eight people following the prince from a distance, and several people standing outside the gate.

Obviously, these were all people sent by the emperor to supervise the crown prince.

She couldn't help but have a sour nose, thinking that this matter had something to do with her after all, and she didn't know if the prince blamed her in his heart.

But she didn't have time to think about it, and immediately took a few steps forward and said, "Your Highness is back?"

Prince Xiao Di stood still, looked at her and said: "This palace has been grounded in the prince's mansion for half a year because of being late to the early dynasty, and I won't be able to accompany you out to enjoy the mountains and rivers in this half year, I'm sorry!"

Zhang Chenhui hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's not too late for us to go after your lockdown is lifted." ”

After that, he took the initiative to walk side by side with the prince.

The prince said to her: "My main area of activity in the future will be in the study, bedroom and courtyard. ”

In that case, he won't be able to go and meet with Miyayuki.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Chenhui's mouth, and he comforted him: "Your Highness, rest assured, the concubine will let people redesign these three places, and ensure that you will not feel bored in the middle." ”

Xiao Dikai, who was originally in a heavy mood, felt a lot more relaxed after hearing her words, and nodded with a smile: "Then I have you to work." ”

As a result, the crown prince Xiao Di opened the days of grounding, and Xiao Diyuan, the king of Guangxian, stayed in the capital and began to assist Xiao Hong in handling court affairs.

Within a few days, the ministers felt the difference - compared with the crown prince Xiao Dikai, every suggestion given by Xiao Diyuan, the king of Guangxian, was more in line with the people's feelings, more thoughtful, and the way to deal with it was more positive.

The ministers were greatly relieved and believed that with the assistance of King Guangxian in the administration of the court, a new atmosphere should soon appear in the Dawn Kingdom.
