"Before saying this reason, the queen didn't want to ask, is his father who is far away in Dachu, how is he doing all these years?"

Looking at Empress Zhao's forbearance with a determined face, Yuan Peng's eyes were circulating, and he immediately knew it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After pacing thoughtfully in place for a few steps, he suddenly stopped, his eyes darkened, and then he said this sentence unhurriedly.

At the same time, the slightly sharp gaze met Empress Zhao's shocked eyes, as if she had already controlled everything, and the corners of her mouth were hooked confidently.

"You... Why do you know?"

Suddenly, he heard this huge secret that had been hidden in his heart for many years, and was easily told by Yuan Peng in such a grand manner.

Empress Zhao's slightly thin body shook suddenly, raised her hand to hold the window lattice at hand, and the breath in her chest rose and fell violently a few times.

"It's your father... Did the King of Chu tell you?"

After a solemn and calm face, she tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart, restrained her expression, deliberately avoided Yuan Peng's penetrating gaze, and secretly speculated in her heart.

After all, this is her last hole card, and it is also the trump card she thinks can get rid of Gao Heng and reverse the fate of the prince.

Although Yuan Peng in front of him is only at the point now, he has not fully explained how much he knows about this top secret that cannot be leaked back then.

But looking at the glint in his eyes that seemed to have insight into all the sharpness, Empress Zhao's heart suddenly tightened, and she tightened her eyebrows deeply.

Although she was not sure at the beginning, Jing Concubine who was in the Nine Secluded Terrace really revealed the prince's life experience to Cheng Jinzhi.

But from then until today, there has been some movement in Yanwang's Mansion, which has made her gradually relax her vigilance.

However, that day in the imperial study, Yuan Peng was clearly the one who stood against the prince, but he turned against each other to help Gao Heng at a critical juncture, even if Queen Zhao didn't say it to her face, she was always haunted in her heart.

If Yuan Peng really did what he saw that day, he had already chosen another master, and he had the intention of wooing Gao Heng.

Let's assume that he had already revealed this matter to Gao Heng, who was bent on destroying the East Palace.

For the crown prince, Donggong, and himself who are on the cusp of the storm, it is tantamount to a catastrophe with no possibility of survival.

"The queen doesn't need to be so nervous, if I say that my father asked me to greet you, can I feel a little more at ease?"

Seeing the nervous state of Empress Zhao's uneasy face, Yuan Peng knew that the joke was over, and it was time to cut to the chase, so he put away the ridiculous look in his eyes.

"Although after a year of parting, there is no possibility of seeing each other, but after all, it is also an old man. My father is a person who misses the old and is also a person who values love, and he will not stand idly by when the queen is in trouble this time. ”

"What an old man. ”

Empress Zhao's eyes were slightly condensed, and the emotion and nostalgia in her eyes had not yet overflowed into her eyes, and suddenly stopped, without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, the sadness in his eyes suddenly rose, but a grim smile passed over his mouth.

"It seems that your father was very prescient, and before His Royal Highness King Heng came to my Great Zhou, he had already expected that the palace and the crown prince would suffer this catastrophe, and specially asked you to travel thousands of miles to help the palace. ”

The reason why Empress Zhao had such a reaction was because she had a clear insight into the ambitions of the King of Chu.

Over the years, although she is a woman in the deep palace, she also knows that the peace and harmony between Zhou and Chu are all superficial.

What kind of thoughts the king of Chu had for the Great Zhou was actually Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it.

The reason why he told Yuan Peng about this old secret and asked him to come from thousands of miles away was not because he really wanted to relieve himself, but because of the prince's life experience.

Empress Zhao was almost certain that if the crown prince had not shed the blood of the Chu people, he would certainly not be like this

But now, compared to the King of Chu, who is thousands of miles away and does not have the full strength to confront the Great Zhou, the imminent Yan Wangfu is his biggest threat.

Only by eradicating the roadblocks in front of him first, allowing the crown prince to ascend the throne smoothly and sit in the country, is the most important thing.

After that, whether she bounced the bow and hid it, or cooked the rabbit and the dog, she would not frown.

And looking at Empress Zhao's incomprehensible strange expression, at this moment, Yuan Peng suddenly realized that he had made a mistake that he really shouldn't have made.

He was too anxious.

From beginning to end, even if she had already learned that Empress Zhao wanted to use this old incident as a hole card, she should not expose herself before she was honest about everything.

Instead, he should pretend to be as shocked as he just knew today, and learn to be Queen Zhao.

In this way, in Queen Zhao's heart, she will be a little more grateful and moved to the King of Chu, the old man who helped in time.

Instead of being as cold and hard as it is now, there is only the endless interests between the two sides, and there is no half of human affection at all.

"The queen mother has misunderstood her father. If my father really has a different heart as Niangniang thought, I am afraid that I have already been to this Zhenghe Palace since the first day I entered the capital, so why do I need to delay until today and wait for Niangniang to summon me?"

Yuan Peng said calmly, there was no avoidance in his eyes, although he knew that Empress Zhao was by no means an easy person to fool, but he still deliberately pretended to cover it up.

"Actually, what is your father's mind, not to mention that the palace is clear, even His Majesty is very clear. Although he was just a neglected prince when he entered the Zhou as a hostage, now that he can sit on the throne of your Great Chu, it is enough to prove that he is no longer the same person he was back then. ”

Empress Zhao suddenly stopped when she said this, as if she suddenly remembered something, and a hazy and blurry mist rose in her eyes. "No, maybe from that time on, he wasn't what Bengu saw. ”

However, as soon as the words fell, she immediately realized that she shouldn't say such a thing at all, and hurriedly turned her eyes very unnaturally, and even her breath became a little disordered for a while.

"I have always believed that although some feelings in this world are as short as fireworks, they have also been brilliant and dazzling, even if they are like water for many years, they are unforgettable. ”

Listening to Empress Zhao's deeply emotional words, Yuan Peng smiled indifferently, and a clear and transparent color was blurred between his eyebrows.

"Perhaps...... But this palace is the queen of the Great Zhou, in the past, it is now, and in the future, Chen'er will succeed to the throne, and this palace will be the queen mother, which will never change. ”

Empress Zhao deliberately ignored Yuan Peng's words, but looked firmly, her eyebrows trembled slightly, the cold color in her eyes suddenly appeared, and her tone deliberately increased a little.
