The news of the queen's grounding spread throughout the harem of the former dynasty in a few hours, and some people were happy and some were worried. The old lady of the Huang family was busy asking the second master of the Huang family to go to the Shunwang Mansion to inquire about the news.

The second master of the Huang family went to King Shun's mansion, and he met King Shun and the third prince on the way. The second master learned that the two brothers entered the palace to find His Majesty to intercede for his mother, and the three of them discussed in a low voice together how to act when entering the palace. King Shun agreed, and the second master went directly to the Huang family when he came out of the palace.

The third prince asked his brother, "Why did the queen mother anger her father?"

King Shun was worried: "I heard from the messenger that it was because she asked the guards to take down the crown princess, whether she lived or died." My father was going to meet the concubine at that time. The queen mother is now getting more and more grumpy, and she doesn't want to find a way to get back the harem power, but she is grounded. Alas!"

The third prince said dissatisfiedly: "The queen mother is the master of the harem, and it is her duty to discipline the crown princess." Father, this is ......"

"The crown prince is still on the battlefield now, and the crown princess is now a hostage in the palace, why is the queen mother messing with her at this time?"

King Shun shook his head, he was very helpless when he met the Huang family, who was dragging his feet. Originally, the left minister of the previous dynasty was the uncle of the Huang family, but he was disliked by the old lady of the Huang family and became the descendant of someone else's family. The Huang family can't rely on the left minister, and they don't have a helper to get things done.

Fortunately, the eldest princess agreed to help him, looking at the current situation of the queen mother, I am afraid that the plan has to be planned in advance.

The two brothers went outside the Taiji Palace, called the eunuch to go in to report, and while waiting, King Shun whispered to the three princes: "You will cry a few times, if your father loses his temper, you will ask for ......."

The eunuch came out and let the two princes in. When they entered, they fell on their knees and respectfully greeted His Majesty. Your Majesty told them to get up.

King Shun saw that in addition to His Majesty, there were also left and right ministers in the palace, and the two ministers got up and saluted the two princes.

King Shun smiled at the two Xiangye friendly, and said politely, "The two Xiangye, please take a seat." ”

His Majesty asked lightly, "Your brother is here to ask for your mother?"

King Shun replied respectfully: "The queen mother is at fault first, and the father and emperor punish fairly." It's just that the queen mother's health is not good, and I'm afraid I'm ...... to be grounded all the time."

The third prince wiped his eyes and said with a crying voice: "Father, the son begs his father to spare his mother......

His Majesty was about to speak with a calm face, when suddenly a voice came from outside: "Battle report"

His Majesty hurriedly said, "Bring it in." ”

His great eunuch Da Linzi quickly retrieved a roll of paper from the outside and respectfully presented it to His Majesty. Several people looked nervously at the letter in His Majesty's hand.

"Hahaha, okay, the crown prince took people to recapture Biancheng, killed thousands of soldiers who came to invade Jingguo, and captured nearly 10,000 people......" His Majesty was excited, and his previous worries were finally put down.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise, and the heavens are right and Zhou ......" the left and right ministers shouted in unison.

"Congratulations to my father...... the emperor," the two brothers tried to pretend to be joyful.

"Hahaha...... "Your Majesty is really happy."

"I still have something to discuss with the left and right. You two brothers go back first, and I will consider the queen's affairs. ”

"The retainer retired. Helplessly, after the two brothers saluted, they withdrew from the Taiji Hall. They went to the queen's chamber to comfort their mother.

In the Taiji Palace, the emperor and the two ministers were very happy. There has been no war in Youzhou for a hundred years, and His Majesty and his courtiers are uneasy about this expedition, and they don't know how it will end. This victory has brought hope and confidence to everyone.

His Majesty happily discussed the next battle with the two ministers. His Majesty thought that since they had all started a war and had an excuse, they would fight to Jingguo. His selfish intention is to become a famous king in history who has expanded his territory.

Tang Zhongbo, the left minister, knew His Majesty's thoughts, but he was worried that the prince would be fighting abroad for a long time, and the consequences would be unimaginable if something happened. The right minister Zhang Kai is the father of His Majesty's favorite concubine Wan Guifei, and he has a disagreement with the left minister in the court: as long as it is the opposite of the left, he will support it, and as long as it is supported by the left minister, he will oppose it.

His Majesty was worried about the discord between the two ministers on the surface, but he was very satisfied in private. If the two prime ministers join forces, he, the emperor, will have a headache.

Of course, the wise majesty will still ask people to check whether they are playing tricks to deceive him, and the results of the investigation make him very satisfied. The two never interacted in private. The left phase often despises the right phase for incompetence and relies on nepotism. And the right minister often scolds the left minister for being unfilial descendants, and succeeding others for official positions......

When the left minister put forward the proposal of letting the crown prince return to the dynasty and let the prince of Zhenguo and the British prince continue to fight. The right minister interrupted him: "The minister thinks that the previous victory was due to the proper command of the Son of Heaven, and if the army leaves the prince, the battle may not go smoothly......"

"The minister thinks that the right minister is too exaggerated to the prince's ability......"

The two Xiangye quarreled on the spot again and almost made a move. His Majesty persuaded the two of them: "The two of you should work together well, and don't be so noisy at every turn. ”

The two ministers were busy pleading.

His Majesty waved his hand and said, "This matter will be discussed after I think about it." Haha, I'm happy to be here. ”

The two Xiangye looked at His Majesty suspiciously, another joy?

His Majesty laughed and said, "My beloved concubine is pregnant with the dragon seed again." ”

The two ministers were busy saying that they were overjoyed, and His Majesty pointed to the right minister: "The daughter of the Zhang family is virtuous." The right minister knelt down, and he thanked him and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." ”

Zuo Xiangqiang smiled. His Majesty laughed again when he saw this.

When the two prime ministers walked out of the Taiji Hall one after the other, the left prime minister said to the right prime minister with a look of contempt on his face: "The prince is dangerous outside. ”

The right minister also looked disgusted: "It is safe to have the right to fight." ”

"King Shun is restless. ”

"Sandpiper clam fight!"

The two walked to the gate of the palace, you look at me, I look at you, and then one left left and one left right with a blank face.

His Majesty drove to Zhaoyang Palace, and he went to see his favorite concubine, and shared the joy of victory with her. When he arrived at the gate of Zhaoyang Palace, he waved his hand and asked people not to report, he wanted to surprise his concubine.

His Majesty walked to the main hall, and he heard the lazy voice of Concubine Ai: "This palace has been feeling very tired recently. ”

Eunuch Xiaolinzi: "This is the mother who is pregnant with a dragon fetus,"

"None of the five princes in this palace have ever been like this before. ”

Xiao Zhao, the palace maid of the concubine, said, "Did Niangniang eat something?"

His Majesty's heart was shocked, and he thought of the dead Concubine Huang. He stepped in and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Concubine Ai?

When everyone saw His Majesty suddenly arrive, they hurriedly saluted. Concubine Wan dragged her weak body to support her, and His Majesty hurriedly pulled her to sit beside her: "Concubine Ai is unwell, so you don't need to salute." ”

The concubine leaned softly on His Majesty's shoulder, and said softly: "How can the concubine be so squeamish, it is Your Majesty who cherishes the concubine." ”

His Majesty hugged the concubine, and he asked, "What's wrong with the concubine?" ”

The concubine described a few sentences according to what Feng Ling said: "The concubine feels tired, can't eat, and feels uncomfortable all ......"

His Majesty panicked, this was obviously the symptom of the former queen and Concubine Huang before their deaths. The joy of victory he had received before was suddenly shocked by this terrible news. He hurriedly called Da Linzi to pass on the imperial doctor.

The person His Majesty cares about most now is the concubine, and he doesn't dare to imagine what he will do if the concubine is killed like the former queen and the yellow concubine. At this moment, the person he lost the most was the delicate child in his arms.

When he saw the imperial doctor come in, he hurriedly said, "Quick, come and show the concubine." ”

The imperial doctor asked about the symptoms, was silent for a while, and said, "It's similar to Concubine Huang's symptoms before." ”

His Majesty was afraid and angry, and he wanted to destroy the Huang family now.

The imperial doctor asked Xiao Linzi: "Show me the food and water used by the concubine before." ”

Xiao Linzi presented the cup, the imperial doctor tasted it, looked at it, and whispered to His Majesty: "The water has been drugged, I don't know how long the concubine has been drinking." If you don't drink much, it's okay for adults, but it's hard for children to talk ......."

His Majesty hurriedly asked, "How long has the concubine been in this situation?" ”

Xiao Linzi replied: "Just yesterday, my mother said that she was uncomfortable. ”

His Majesty gave him a kick: "She said yesterday that she was uncomfortable, if you don't go back, you are dead? ”

Xiao Linzi knelt down suddenly: "Your Majesty spares your life, and the slave thinks that Niangniang is pregnant with the reaction of the dragon......"

The imperial doctor said, "I will prescribe the tocolytic pill and observe it first." ”

The imperial doctor thought as he walked: The water was drugged, but the concubine obviously didn't drink it. Since she said she drank it, I thought she was drinking, and I wasn't the one who was unlucky on the left and right.
