"Queen Mother, let's relax, the two of us just took what we needed back then, not to mention that we had reached a consensus at that time that we would definitely keep our mouths shut, and now that four years have passed, no one will mention this matter again, after all, if outsiders know about it, it will not be beneficial to Nan Chu. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The crown prince stretched the corners of his eyebrows and said lightly, as if he was a little unimpressed by Empress Zhao's worries.

"Chen'er, the queen mother is not worried that the princess and the prince of Nanchu will intentionally talk about it, but they are worried that they will inadvertently let those who have a heart notice some clues, if these people find something by the vine, it will be bad. ”

Empress Zhao's breath was sluggish, and then she looked at the prince with a sharp expression, and her whole person looked much more serious.

"Speaking of which, the territory of Nanchu was also trapped by natural disasters back then, so that the treasury was empty, and it was when a large amount of money was needed, they were deploying troops outside the Fengfeng Pass, but they knew that their father was the most reluctant to go to war at this time, so they wanted to bluff and scare us and get some benefits. Since his father happened to have the intention of sending someone to make peace at that time, the minister also took this opportunity to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, so that in the eyes of his father, he could persuade thousands of troops to retreat without spending a single soldier, and it was difficult to shake it in his heart. ”

The crown prince raised his chin and raised the corners of his mouth lightly, but he heard Empress Zhao say in a solemn tone: "Having said that, but in this matter, you still have to be long-sighted." Now your father clearly knew the reason for the attack on Tu Lingsi that night, but he didn't ask Gao Heng for a long time, obviously he still had doubts about this matter. At this critical moment, you have to press forward step by step, forcing Gao Heng into a dead end, unable to find any opportunity to prove his innocence, so that he really has no way back. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked away from the prince, and a cold haze floated in her eyes.

"You must know that stealing official silver is a serious crime, not to mention a royal family, we have done so many things before and finally lost all our efforts, this time we must be able to this mother and son can never turn over. ”

When the prince saw what Empress Zhao said solemnly, he nodded, pondered for a while, and said a sentence faintly.

"Don't forget, Queen Mother, we still have Wei Yan's chess piece. ”

"Wei Yan?" Empress Zhao said in surprise when she heard this, "What are you going to let him do?"

"From beginning to end, he did it for his sons, including exchanging the stolen silver for 10,000 taels of gold. If Gu Chen, who was caught by Cen Feng, was really useful, according to Cen Feng's temperament, he would have been brought to his father to testify against his sons, how could he wait until Tu Lingsi was attacked that night, but there has been no news so far?"

The prince's eyes flashed slightly when he said this, and then he showed a hint of smugness that he had already anticipated in advance.

This can only show that Gu Chen can't put anything useful in his mouth at all, and at best, he can only point to Wei Yan. Although the loss of the household department did make Erchen feel a little heartache, if he could use a Wei Yan to pull out a thorn in his eye, no matter how he calculated this account, it was worth it. ”

"Wei Yan has been quite loyal to you in the past few years, if it weren't for Gao Heng this time, this palace really didn't want you to abandon this person. ”

"Erchen actually doesn't want to, but there is a sentence that wasn't said by the queen mother? If you want to stand firm on the highest place, someone must sacrifice for you on this road. Wei Yan should know very well that from the moment he sat on the Hubu Shangshu, this life already belonged to Erchen, not to mention that Erchen still held the life of his family in his hands, no matter what he was asked to do or say, he must be obedient. ”

The prince calmly teased the glass teacup in his hand, and the smile on his lips was even worse.

If he can get this game back, Erchen will definitely treat his family well, ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and try not to accept this involvement, which can be regarded as a consideration for his loyalty to Erchen. ”

"That's good, it's better to solve this matter as soon as possible. Empress Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "Alas, I don't know if it's because of the last incident that made your father Emperor Long Yan angry, or because I'm getting older, the queen mother has always felt unsteady in her heart recently." ”

Seeing this, the prince hurriedly restrained his expression, got up and respectfully performed a junior salute towards Queen Zhao: "The queen mother has been worried about her sons for so many years, she cares about everything and does her best, and it is time to calm down and enjoy the blessings." ”

"Chen'er, the queen mother is just such a child as you, the queen mother plans for you, and it is all right for you to bother. Empress Zhao's eyes flashed with a burst of soft light, and then her face showed a grim look, "It's just that this royal situation is unpredictable, Gao Heng is not removed for a day, and if you don't ascend the throne as the emperor for a day, the queen mother will not be able to let go of this heart, and she will not be able to truly feel at ease after all." ”

"The queen mother, the son is the future son of the Great Zhou, and the queen mother is also the future queen mother of the Great Zhou, which is a fact that will never change. ”

Looking at the gorgeous hair spawned by Empress Zhao's sideburns, the prince couldn't help but be deeply moved in his heart, and his attitude was very decisive and decisive.

With your words, the queen mother is much more relieved. ”

Empress Zhao curled the corners of her lips and nodded with satisfaction, then raised her eyes and said: "By the way, although this Southern Chu princess was greeted by Gao Heng, since you have dealt with those Chu people and have friendships, you should also walk around in front of those people, in case of emergency." ”

"Yes, Erchen understands. ”

The prince agreed seriously, and suddenly changed his color: "By the way, the queen mother, when it comes to Southern Chu, Erchen suddenly remembered, I heard that more than 20 years ago, the king of Chu, who was still the prince at that time, once came to our Great Zhou as a proton for a period of time, is this true?"

Hearing the prince's words, Empress Zhao, who was originally holding the teacup with a calm expression, suddenly trembled between her eyebrows, and the hand holding the lid also suddenly froze, almost spilling the hot tea in the cup.

It's like being touched by someone suddenly touching a thorn in the heart, and the whole person looks a little nervous.

"Mother, are you alright?"

Seeing Empress Zhao's unusual reaction, the crown prince hurriedly raised his hand and put it on her wrist with great concern, with a little surprise in his eyes.

"No, it's fine, it's just that my hand is not steady all of a sudden. ”

Empress Zhao closed the lid of the tea, her eyes flashed twice quickly, then she turned her eyes, and quickly regained her composure, but her eyes seemed to move away as if she was deliberately dodging.

"Oh, it's all been more than 20 years ago, and the queen mother was in the harem at the time, but it wasn't very clear that you were in the harem, how did you... Suddenly it occurred to you to ask about it?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Princess Nanchu entered Beijing, and Erchen asked casually when she thought of it. ”

The crown prince stared at Empress Zhao and said unhurriedly, his eyes condensed, and gradually, he seemed to feel as if he had seen something else from his mother.
