The owner of this voice is none other than Yuan Peng, who is also troubled and worried about the rumors. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As a foreign minister who came from afar, he should not have been in and out of the inner court of the palace often, let alone stay in the Zhenghe Palace in private under the sensitive situation when the prince left Beijing.

It's just that he knows very well that if it weren't for his own side accidentally leaking this secret, then the remaining problems would most likely lie with Queen Zhao, who is the party concerned.

And the purpose of Yuan Peng's visit was to get some clues from her about the rumor-mongers, so as to find ways to help the prince avoid this catastrophe and avoid being killed.

He didn't allow it, and this excellent chess piece, which was obviously already in his hands, was lost like this

utilization.

But he never thought that this person behind the scenes, who he originally had no clue and was as unfathomable as an undercurrent, was already clear and clear in Queen Zhao's heart, and he was about to come out.

"The queen mother said that the person who walked behind this rumor disaster was His Royal Highness King Yan?"

Hearing Empress Zhao's unhesitating answer, Yuan Peng, who was originally peaceful, suddenly tightened his pupils, obviously surprised.

First, Gao Heng, as the biggest threat to the position of the prince, if he really mastered such an important secret, even if they tried their best to make up for it at the moment, they would have lost most of their chances of winning and were in a precarious position

What's more, after the last disaster relief official silver, the prince's status in the eyes of Emperor Zhou has plummeted, and he has lost most of the people's hearts in the court, and it is the time when nothing can go wrong.

It wasn't until after listening to Empress Zhao's story about what happened in Jiuyoutai that the surprise on his face gradually faded, and although there was still worry in his eyes, there was a sudden brightness in his eyes.

"If he really had evidence, he wouldn't rely on this rumor to build momentum, as long as His Majesty decided that this was just nonsense deliberately made up by someone to slander the crown prince, we would be able to use this to turn defeat into victory. ”

"It seems that His Royal Highness King Heng already has a countermeasure in his heart. ”

Empress Zhao's eyes fluttered when she heard this, and she knew in her heart that as one of the few people who knew this secret, the only person she could rely on and rely on at the moment was the somewhat incomprehensible prince of Nanchu in front of her.

"It's just that even if he doesn't have evidence, but this rumor is fierce, and the situation of Your Majesty is still unknown, if Your Majesty really has doubts in his heart and wants to test it, then what should we do?"

"We should strike first. ”

"Preemptive?"

"Yes, rather than having him summon you to intervene in this matter, we should take the lead before we do. ”

Yuan Peng nodded solemnly, raised his cheeks slightly, and greeted the clear sunlight that filtered through the window lattice.

"Now it is certain that Your Majesty will learn about it sooner or later, and even if we don't say it, someone else will tell him. Since we can't stop the mouths of the people, let's stand in front of Your Majesty as a victim to win sympathy, at least let Your Majesty feel that you are deeply burdened by this matter, and have suffered great grievances and wrongs, not because of your weak heart, you dare not act rashly, so you have not moved. ”

He said unhurriedly, seeing that Empress Zhao was listening very seriously, and there seemed to be a sense of agreement in her eyes, so he continued: "Besides, if this rumor is created by others, we may indeed be in a predicament and helpless. But if it comes from the mouth of King Yan, who has always been an enemy of the prince, the nature of the matter is very different.

"You mean, Your Majesty will think that this is a rumor that Gao Heng deliberately created to suppress the crown prince?"

"That's right. After all, this rumor is about the future prince of the Great Zhou, and it is clearly intended to slap Your Majesty and the Queen Mother in the face, every word is enough to shame the entire royal family of your country. ”

Although Yuan Peng said it seriously on the surface, he couldn't help but feel a little gloating in his heart.

After all, everything he said at the moment was true, regardless of whether this rumor would eventually be dismissed as nonsense.

But in this matter, the royal family and the emperor of the enemy country in front of him are all jokes playing the role of a harlequin.

Yuan Peng could even imagine what kind of anger Emperor Zhou would have been if Emperor Zhou knew that his beloved son, who was bent on helping him on the throne, was the blood of the empress and the monarch of the enemy country.

Thinking of this, he deliberately covered his nose and coughed twice to hide the strangeness in his heart, but there was a strange look in his eyes when he looked at Queen Zhao.

It's just because Empress Zhao is worried about the safety of herself and the crown prince at the moment, so she doesn't notice it.

It's just that if it weren't for the fact that she was trying to help the crown prince ascend to the throne smoothly, how could she want to uncover the scars she had hidden for many years in front of a Chu person she disdained?

She didn't know that even if Yuan Peng didn't say anything on the surface, deep down he must be laughing at this palace scandal that shocked the whole country.

But in order to see her son reign over the world, she must pretend to turn a blind eye and must endure.

"Whether it is Your Majesty or your father, who of these dynasties and dynasties does not regard the royal face and reputation as important as the throne? Besides, there had never been any rumors about this matter before this rumor, and the fact that it happened so suddenly this time makes people feel that something is even more strange. I think that after the shock, His Majesty must have been more angry than suspicious, and he must have wondered who was so bold. ”

"What you said is indeed reasonable, if we can let Your Majesty know that Gao Heng did this behind your back, although Your Majesty is suspicious, but as you said, he attaches great importance to the royal face. I think I will definitely be like you and me, thinking that he is deliberately slandering in order to compete for the storage position, and he will definitely not be spared. In this way, Gao Heng is more than worth the loss. ”

Empress Zhao said sharply with sharp eyes, and then loosened her shoulders a little heavily, and a trace of fragile exhaustion flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"If this incident can really pass unharmed like this, I don't have to worry about it all day long, and I won't have to sleep well. ”

The queen can really be sure,
