The crown prince didn't know what Emperor Wen was thinking, and he looked at the throne at his fingertips, and became more and more eager.

"Go, invite Elder Liang Ge," he instructed Sun Chenghai, the chamberlain beside him, "Don't attract the attention of others!"

Emperor Wen sneered: "Do you think that Liang Xingyong dared to write the edict on his own?"

The prince's originally thick facial features instantly became as sharp as a blade, and he looked at Emperor Wen for a long time before revealing a sneer: "Liang Xingyong will be willing, whoever has the big fist has the right to speak, this is what my father taught me, has my father forgotten?"

"Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey, the birds are hiding the bow, and the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey is cooking, this has always been what the father is used to do, Liang Ge has done so many things for his father, but he was just abandoned by his father, he naturally knows how to choose. ”

Emperor Wen looked at the prince with unkind eyes: "When did you start planning, who are in the same party?"

The prince couldn't help but sneer: "I don't know if I don't plan, it turns out that so many people don't like my father, and I want someone else to do the emperor's position. ”

The prince refused to say who was in the same party, but Emperor Wen didn't care about him, and his eyebrows were indifferent: "Then let me see how many people think so." ”

Emperor Wen took the blade of the crown prince's neck, turned over on his side and closed his eyes, his expression was very calm.

The crown prince has never seen Emperor Wen's unhurried but able to push people into a desperate situation, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and when he lifted the blade and was about to start giving Emperor Wen a knife, he was suddenly blocked by Zhao Yuande, who rushed up.

"Get out!" the prince was so angry that he kicked Zhao Yuande and kicked Zhao Yuande backwards.

Zhao Yuande was already tied by the prince's hands, and his movements were not good, and after receiving this kick alive, he couldn't get up from the ground for a long time, and his face rubbed heavily on the tiles soaked in tung oil, and there was a scorching pain.

He didn't care about his own injuries, so he shouted loudly in a fallen posture: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are killing the king and killing your father, and you are rebelling against you! The old slave advises you to stop as soon as possible, so as not to bear an eternal infamy on your back!"

The prince sneered: "Even without this eternal infamy, the fate of this palace will not be much better!" He looked at Emperor Wen, his eyes were cold and there was no warmth, "If it weren't for the mother's surname Wei, I'm afraid that I am just an ordinary second prince now, and the most favored son in my father's heart will never be me!"

"No matter how hard I try, my father will not look at me more, and there will always be only Chu Shaoyuan in my father's eyes, whether it is before or after he returns to the palace!"

Emperor Wen opened his eyes and glanced at him, only to feel that he was just a little disappointed in him, but his heart was completely dead with his words.

"You are simply hopeless and stubborn!" Emperor Wen scolded him coldly, and he should not be treated again.

Thinking that he has been the emperor for so many years, even if he has put the third child outside the palace for thirteen years, although from time to time there is the idea of taking him back to the palace, but he is still somewhat forced to suppress himself.

Yes, the most favored person in his heart is indeed the third child, but he also knows what Ruxue expects from the third child, since he has already lost Ruxue, how can he go against her will?

It's a pity that the prince didn't know his intentions, so he wanted to use such drastic means to anger him.

The prince's face turned blue when he was scolded by Emperor Wen, and he couldn't help but want to argue with Emperor Wen: "Is it because I am stubborn or my father is stubborn and partial?" Father still remembers, when my father just succeeded to the throne, I was only four years old, in February, I suffered from the wind and cold and kept swinging, the queen mother has been using strong wine to help me wipe my body, but the original imperial doctors were guarding Chu Shaoyuan, just because he ate too much milk at that time and was a little nauseous, the whole imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital was in Yunhua Palace to diagnose his pulse, and the queen mother used strong wine to help me wipe my body, while hugging me and crying, at that time, did my father ever think that I was also your son, I am still sick, did my father ever think about dividing one or two imperial doctors to see me?"

It is naturally impossible for Emperor Wen to remember such a trivial matter, but as far as the crown prince is concerned, it is enough to destroy the image of Emperor Wen as a good father in his mind.

The prince's expression was cold, and his eyes flashed with loneliness and determination: "I have been sick for three days, and only my uncle Anbei Hou sent herbs and prescriptions to the ministers of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty, and the others have an indifferent attitude, as if the prince is Chu Shaoyuan and not me, since then, I know that in this world, only the queen mother and uncle are the people who treat me well, father, you said that your uncle's family is greedy for military salaries and horse markets, but because your uncle's power is too great, you are afraid that you will not be able to control your uncle, so you will deliberately drill this trick for your uncle!" Have you forgotten how your uncle fought all his life to drive the Tartar back into the Red Cloud Mountains?

Emperor Wen opened his eyes suddenly, and glared at the prince with fierce eyes: "It's just nonsense! Where do you think the honor of the Hou family of Anbei comes from? If it weren't for Xiao Rui making Wei Jie's wedding dress at the beginning, I'm afraid that the border pass is still not peaceful, but it's ridiculous that you think Wei Jie is a person who can put life and death out of the way!"

These things are because the prince was still young at the time, and he didn't know, he only knew that Wei Jie had won the battle, but Xiao Rui, who was traveling with him, was seriously injured and dying, but the Xiao family's house was not peaceful, Xiao Rui's wife was sick, and the Xiao family's aunt and grandmother were bullied to death by her husband's family, Xiao Rui came out in a fit of anger and killed the family, and the death lawsuit, Emperor Wen had to punish Xiao Rui, so Xiao Rui's military exploits were robbed by Wei Jie.

Later, Emperor Wen secretly investigated and learned that the initiator behind the Xiao family's aunt and grandmother turned out to be the Wei family.

Emperor Wen knew how not to be angry! He became more and more disgusted with the Wei family, and he felt guilty about Xiao Rui, and he always wanted to make up for him. However, people can't be resurrected after death, and over the years, Xiao Rui has been taught some martial arts and the art of war to his sons in the name of the prince's teacher.

The prince couldn't allow anyone to smear his uncle, and retorted coldly: "Father doesn't have to make excuses for himself, my uncle's personality is best known to me as a nephew, isn't it because you smeared the Wei family for the military power of Northwest Mashi and Yanmen Pass? Now that you have finally got your wish, Xiao Rui's eldest son was also sent by you to guard Yanmen Pass, and this kind of compensation should be enough!"

"You bastard!" Emperor Wen really couldn't listen to it, he couldn't help but scold the prince angrily, stared at him coldly for a long time, and then sneered: "I originally questioned you as the prince, and today I finally understand where that doubt comes from." ”

The son of the Wei family's blood, sure enough, inherited the Wei family's consistent shamelessness and no bottom line, a few words with red lips and white teeth reversed right and wrong, and won meritorious service with the peace of mind of taking wrong as right, and the head is the way to shirk responsibility and shirk everything, if the country is inherited by him, I am afraid that Dayan will decline in a few years.

The prince was dissatisfied and wanted to argue, but Liang Xingyong had been brought in by Sun Chenghai.

……

Chan Yi stood in the side hall of the Fenglai Hall to the second watch, the side hall did not burn the earth dragon, the charcoal basin was less, there were only a few palace lamps left in the palace, faintly emitting light, Chan Yi and the two personal maids were so cold that they shivered.

However, the main hall was full of people, and it seemed that the clan relatives were quite interested in keeping the New Year, and there was not even a single person out of the palace.

At this time, in the main hall, some elderly relatives who couldn't keep it were sleepy, because it was not good to speak directly, so they endured it.

When the queen saw it, her heart moved, and she looked at the palace people serving beside her.

An inconspicuous palace man withdrew from the main hall, and the queen said with a smile: "It's already the second watch, and it's almost time to keep the year, Xu... Aunt Yu: But have you cleaned up the side room?"

Aunt Yu stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, don't worry, it's all right." ”

The queen said: "The palace will not leave everyone, let's go and rest, and we will meet again tomorrow morning." ”

After saying this, all the people in the party dispersed.

And the palace people who had withdrawn from the main hall before arrived at the side hall at this time, found Chan Yi and said with a smile: "The queen mother asked the slave maid to take you to rest." ”

Chanyi couldn't help it, so she didn't think much about it and followed the palace people out of the Fenglai Palace, after a distance from the Fenglai Palace, the palace people's footsteps suddenly became anxious, and said to her while walking: "The princess, come with me." ”

Chanyi was very eager when she heard this, and when she looked at the palace people again, she looked a little blind, and couldn't help but freeze in place, with doubts in her eyes: "Are you?"

The palace people said respectfully: "Everyone else calls the slave maid Aunt Bai, the slave maid is on an errand in Yunhua Palace, and today I have been ordered by the prince to protect the princess, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, it is better to go to Yunhua Palace as soon as possible." ”

Chanyi's heart jumped, and her eyes became more and more unkind when she looked at Aunt Bai: "Jinxin!

Although it is difficult to do it in the palace, this white aunt is really a little strange, which makes her vigilant.

Aunt Bai didn't struggle to resist at all, but said to Chanyi: "I'm afraid that there will be something wrong in the palace today, so I specially ordered the slave maid to rescue the princess!"

Chanyi hesitated more and more, glanced at the brightly lit Fenglai Palace, narrowed her eyes, and gestured to Jinxin.

Jinxin nodded, and with a knife, she slashed Aunt Bai unconscious.

Chanyi said to Jinping and Jinxin: "I'm afraid that Yunhua Palace has a layout at the moment, but I don't know who deploys it, if I go, I'm afraid of falling into the plan, it's better for us to go to Ci'an Palace together, and explain these things carefully with the Queen Mother, so that we can see what the Queen Mother means." ”

If the Queen Mother is not at ease, then maybe what Aunt Bai said is true, there is a change in the palace, she is on the order of Chu Shaoyuan to protect her, if the Queen Mother is nervous, it means that Aunt Bai is lying, so it is dangerous.

Chanyi was making a decision, and saw three or two people walking in front of her from a distance, and Chanyi subconsciously hid with the two maids, watching those people pass by in the dark, she looked at the man with a medium figure and wearing a crane supplement official uniform, and hurriedly covered the exclamation in her mouth.

How could Liang Xingyong enter and leave the inner palace in the middle of the night? Could it be that Liang Xingyong was on duty today?

Dayan has always had the habit of cabinet scholars taking turns to be on duty in the palace every day, so that the emperor can discuss any government affairs with these cabinet elders.

And the few people walking with Liang Xingyong looked very familiar, but they didn't look like the eunuchs on the errand in the Qianyuan Palace, she looked carefully, and felt that the man holding Liang Xingyong looked more and more wrong, and then opened her eyes wide, isn't this Sun Chenghai's father-in-law next to the prince!

She was amazed in her heart, and it wasn't until the person was far away that she hurried to the direction of Ci'an Palace.

……

The Queen Mother had just recited the Heart Sutra at this time and was about to go to bed, when she heard the palace people come to tell her that Prince An and Princess An asked to see her.

She frowned and glanced at Aunt Shu Yue, "It's so late, didn't you say that the queen was going to keep the New Year in Fenglai Palace?

Aunt Shu Yue asked the palace people: "What did the princess say?

The palace said: "The princess only said that there was something important, and she didn't say anything else, the banquet in the Fenglai Palace seemed to be dispersed, and the queen mother also returned to the Fenggong Palace." ”

The Queen Mother was already impatient, plus she was old, she didn't have much energy, she was already sleepy, thinking that there was nothing big about the banquet, so she waved her hand and said: "What can a little doll do, let her go down and rest, the mourning family is also sleepy, change clothes for the mourning family." ”

The Queen Mother, this is what she means by not wanting to see Prince An.

Aunt Shu Yue nodded, and after serving the Queen Mother to change her clothes, she went to the outer hall in person.

"The Queen Mother has already gone to bed, if the princess has nothing important, please go back. Aunt Shu Yue said with a gentle smile on her face.

Chanyi was in a hurry, she clearly said that there was something important, and hurriedly emphasized it again, afraid that Aunt Shu Yue would not be able to understand it, so she deliberately showed her tone: "Today, the family members of the clan are all in the palace to rest for the New Year, and the concubine is also afraid that something bad will come out of the palace, and the woman of Ming'er is going to enter the palace again, if something happens, I am afraid that I will be bumped into, and the emperor is there, and it is really close to the inner palace, and no one has to remind me, I am afraid that the palace people will be busy and dizzy, and disturb the holy driver." ”

Chanyi said it very tactfully, because the palace change was guessed by her, and it was too obvious to say, but as long as the queen mother heard such half-concealed words, she always had to ask her in person for the reason.

Aunt Shu Yue thought about it and felt that with the queen mother's temperament, most of them would not see Chanyi, but her identity was not good to drive Chanyi away, so she had to enter the inner hall again to tell the queen mother.

The Queen Mother was sleepy, and was interrupted from her dream in an instant, with a displeased face, and after listening to such half-concealed words, she said angrily: "In previous years, it was not that there was no one who left the clan relatives to rest in the palace, which year was there a mess? She just married into the clan, and she wanted to take advantage of this matter to stand out, and she was really too scheming!" Then he asked, "What happened at the banquet?"

At this time, the queen borrowed the hands from the banquet and returned to Ci'an Palace, heard the queen mother's question, and told the queen mother about the punishment of Prince An and Princess An.

The queen mother was so angry that she laughed: "The mourning family said that she wanted to see the mourning family so hard, it turned out that she was wronged at the banquet, and she wanted the mourning family to help her out, it was really ridiculous! After all, the queen is her mother-in-law, and it is not uncommon for her to be a daughter-in-law to eat some hanging, but if she is as wronged as she is, she will have to find the mourning family, so what has become of the mourning family? Shu Yue, kick people out, and she is not allowed to come to Ci'an Palace again!"
