"I'm missing you so much."

In the Lanlin Palace, the young man was full of alcohol, but the words he said were so serious.

For the first time in her life, she was hugged by a man, although she was the person she liked, but the current situation was too dangerous, Concubine Ning was shocked and frightened, and hurriedly refused, "Prince, you have drunk too much, let go of me quickly......"

"I like you, do you have me in your heart?"

Song Chi refused to let go. This is a sweet dream, this is a desire, he is still awake or drunk, what he is looking forward to, how can he let go?

The palace people of Lanlin Palace turned pale with fright, but the prince's daughter, these little palace maids didn't dare to pull it at all, and when Song Chi came out, he roared angrily not to follow the people of the East Palace, so no one in the entire Lanlin Palace dared to step forward to dissuade him.

When the emperor arrived, the young man was still obsessed, although Concubine Ning was trying her best to refuse, but the young man's strength was too great, and the group stepped into the hall, what they saw was the girl being tightly held in his arms, and what they heard was Song Chi's confession in his heart.

"Auntie, I know you have me in your heart, don't you? Shall I take you away? We left this place ......"

"Bastard!"

"Prince?"

The voice of the emperor and queen broke the deadlock almost at the same time, and the young man woke up, and when the young man turned around, he saw his father and mother with a pale face and a surprised face, and everyone in the hall who also looked surprised.

Stunned for a moment, he finally let go of his arm and let go of the person in his arms who was trembling.

Concubine Ning's face was full of tears, when she got up just now, she only put on a robe over her nightdress, and she was hugged by Song Chi, at this time it was disheveled, Song Chi let go of her hand, and she knelt on the ground like a limp like a limp.

She was terrified, and now in this situation, is there any way for her to live?

Looking at the kneeling and sobbing on the ground, Song Chi woke up completely, and his heart hurt like a pinprick, he was extremely depressed just now, and he broke in to see her on impulse, but now, ...... If he really did something rebellious, would he also hurt her?

"Erchen, Erchen was confused for a while, drunk and derelicted, please forgive your father!" The boy fell to his knees. At this moment, I blame myself and regret it, just to affect her.

"Drunken and undecenched? How did you get drunk here? What kind of place is this, how can you, as the crown prince, break in at will? Song Chen asked angrily.

Although he didn't like Concubine Ning, and he never thought of touching her, what he cared about was that the Compendium of Etiquette and Law was always on the top, Concubine Ning was nominally Song Chi's concubine, how could this child, his crown prince, do such a thing?

"The father is angry, and the son is really just drunk and broke in by mistake......" Song Chi tried his best to defend.

Song Chen thought of one more thing, glanced at Concubine Ning, who was disheveled on the ground, frowned and asked, "What did you call her just now?" When did you hook up? ”

As soon as these words came out, Song Chi immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "Father, son, son, and Concubine Ning are innocent, son-in-law is just drunk tonight, and there really wasn't anything before!" ”

Concubine Ning also raised her tearful face and cried: "Please let the emperor know clearly, the concubine is innocent......"

But at first glance, seeing the scene just now, who can believe that they are innocent, not to mention that Song Chi hugged her tightly at that time, and gently called her by her name, if the two were innocent before, how could the name of the milk be easily exported?

Chu Xue was also very surprised, but fortunately, she was quite calm. She knew that among the three people who entered the palace later, Concubine Ning was the most demure, this time it was different from Concubine Wan's affairs, and she didn't interfere, if Concubine Ning really had something with the prince, how could it cause a commotion in the palace?

She wanted to persuade Song Chen to calm down first, but Song Chen didn't say that she could calm down at this time. In his opinion, Song Chi, as the crown prince and eldest brother, should lead by example with Huai Jin Zhanyu, even if his merry fifth brother King Shen had never coveted his father's concubine, how could his eldest son do such an unsightly thing that transgressed etiquette?

And as the father of the emperor, his son did ugly things with an unfavored concubine, he was obviously more angry with Concubine Ning, and when he thought of the filthy Concubine Wan in an instant, he intuitively felt that the woman in front of him was even more unbearable, and he actually seduced the prince, which was an unforgivable sin! Song Chen said angrily: "Someone is coming, Concubine Ning does not abide by women's morals, her eyes are not normal, and she will immediately enter the cold palace......"

"Your Majesty!"

"Father!"

The people in the palace exited at the same time, and the palace people of Lanlin Palace knelt together. Chu Xue felt that the matter should not have reached such a serious point, Song Chen decided to be a little impulsive, Concubine Ning was full of grievances, and Song Chi was already remorseful to the point that he couldn't do it.

Seeing Song Chi looking at himself in disbelief, Song Chen was even more angry, Chu Xue knew that he was really angry, and was afraid that he would inflict a more severe punishment in a fit of anger, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, tonight's incident happened suddenly, the prince also drank wine, and the concubine felt that this matter still needs to be investigated, it is better to leave Concubine Ning here first, and let the prince go back to sober up first, the hour is not early, and then alarm the queen mother, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

Song Chi glanced at him.

Song Chi understood that his father was angry with Concubine Ning at this time, and his intercession for her would probably bring more serious consequences to Concubine Ning, so he had to hold back the words full of mentioning Concubine Ning's defense in his heart and stopped saying anything.

And the innocent Concubine Ning just shed tears.

Song Chen slowed down for a while, listened to Chu Xue's words, and was afraid of alarming the Queen Mother again, so he didn't say anything more, turned around and stepped out of the palace. Chu Xue gave Liangxi a color and hurriedly followed.

Liangxi understood what Chu Xue meant, and when the emperor walked away, he persuaded Song Chi softly: "Your Highness, you will listen to the queen first, Ming'er will wait for Your Majesty's anger to disappear, maybe this matter will be over." ”

Song Chi understood that Liangxi was picking up obedient words to comfort him, but now he was not afraid of how his father would punish him, what he cared about was Concubine Ning, and he was guilty of it tonight, if he didn't drink too much and couldn't bear it, how could he affect her?

He heard clearly just now that his father was going to send her to the cold palace, what kind of place was the cold palace, she was still so young, how could she go to that kind of place? What's more, she's innocent!

Song Chiji wanted to go over and comfort the helpless man who was crying, but he didn't dare, Liangxi was still here, what else did he dare to say?

Song Chi's eyes were full of sadness, and he finally got up and staggered away.

Liangxi sighed secretly, and then turned his head to Concubine Ning and said: "Niangniang, please get up first, if this happens, you can't be in a hurry, fortunately, the queen mother persuaded Her Majesty, otherwise it would ......"

Concubine Ning cried even more.

Liangxi shook his head, said a few words to the people around Concubine Ning, and went out.

~~

Song Chen didn't say anything all the way, Chu Xue understood that he was furious, what Song Chi did tonight was a big taboo, and it was even enough to give people a reason to ask for the deposition of his prince, as a father who had bothered to cultivate him for more than ten years, it was impossible for Song Chen not to feel heartache.

Although the deposition of the crown prince is actually extremely beneficial to herself, Chu Xue really doesn't want to, and she can't say much, first, she is a stepmother, Song Chi makes a mistake, she can only try to be tolerant and maintain, otherwise in the eyes of Song Chen and the Queen Mother, she will be suspected of falling into the well, and second, after getting along for so long, although Song Chi was born to Xu Jinhe, but that woman died, her hatred was more than half, and she was not narrow-minded to the point where she had to treat Song Chi and Song Qian to death.

But in any case, the decision on this matter is in Song Chen's hands, let's see his decision.

On the second morning, Chu Xue was serving Song Chen to get dressed, and was about to go to the morning court, when he saw Fugui and reported, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is asking to see you outside." ”

Chu Xue glanced at Song Chen's face carefully, from last night to now, he hasn't spoken much, which shows that he is still angry in his heart.

saw Song Chen sneer, "He got up early!" ”

Fugui hesitated for a while, and said truthfully: "Actually, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knelt outside all night. ”

I saw that the two masters were really shocked,

Chu Xue raised her eyes and looked at Song Chen, and stopped talking, Song Chen looked back, paused for a while, and said coldly: "Call him in." ”

"Yes."

Fugui bowed down to invite someone, and after a while, Song Chi was invited in.

The boy was still a little stumbling when he walked, and it was obvious that he had been kneeling for a long time. When the two approached, Song Chi knelt down again, touched his head to the ground, and said solemnly: "The son and the queen are the father and the queen mother." ”

Song Chen glanced coldly at the eldest son on the ground and asked, "Sober?" ”

"Yes." Song Chi was still lying on the ground, "Erchen was drunk and impulsive last night, made a big mistake, and asked his father to confess." ”

Seeing him like this, after relieving for a while, Song Chen finally relieved a little and said: "It's indeed a big mistake, as the saying goes, 'If you don't teach, it's your father's fault.'" I hope that you will be strict with yourself and set a good example for your brothers and sisters, and you ask yourself, if the events of last night are spread, how will the people of the world laugh at you? What should your younger siblings think of you? ”

Song Chi was full of remorse, and frowned: "The son is guilty." ”

I have been thinking about it all night, as a father, I have always been reluctant to punish him severely, and at this time, seeing his sincerity, Song Chen said slowly: "I will punish your Taifu and the auxiliary ministers of the East Palace for half a year, and replace the people who serve in your palace, as for yourself, you will think about it behind closed doors in the East Palace for a month." Go ahead! ”

This punishment was obviously much lighter than he expected, Song Chi was a little surprised, just waiting for Xie En, his mind turned, and he suddenly thought of Concubine Ning. He was worried that his father would pour all his anger on her, so he hurriedly raised his face and asked, "I don't know how my father will punish Concubine Ning?" ”

Hearing him ask like this, Chu Xue also set her eyes on Song Chen, and she also wanted to know the answer.

In fact, Song Chi guessed correctly, Song Chen did put most of the responsibility for this matter on Concubine Ning. After all, he didn't know Concubine Ning, and in the past so many years, Song Chi had always been an obedient child, and he felt that Concubine Ning should be a big incentive to do such a thing this time.

So it's really not the right time for Song Chi to ask, the king's anger has just subsided a little, listening to his question, anger rose again, and he asked coldly: "What am I going to do with her, are you very worried?" ”

Song Chi panicked again.

He vaguely felt that his father's tone was wrong, but he was really worried about Concubine Ning, hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Please father Mingjian, what happened last night was really the fault of the son, the son and Concubine Ning are indeed innocent, if the father is angry, the son is willing to bear it, please don't be angry with her." ”

This is the truth, this is what the boy knelt outside Yufu's palace last night and thought about it all night, he thought that he would be the one they all wanted, and he just begged them to let her go.

However, he heard his father say, "Whether she is innocent or not, if such an incident happens, I will not keep her anymore, and I will give her a happy death, so that you can calm down in the future." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace, including Chu Xue, was shocked.

"Father?"

The young man raised his head suddenly, looked at Song Chen in disbelief, and said eagerly: "Please don't hurt her, she is really innocent!" Father, punish your sons! Please don't hurt her! ”

His father looked at him coldly, anger surging in his eyes.

Song Chi suddenly became desperate when he saw such a father, he seemed to be able to see Concubine Ning dead, he didn't dare to imagine that if even she was taken away, what was the point of living for himself?

The young man suddenly shouted, "Father, the one who made the mistake is obviously a son-in-law, why did you kill her?" It's the sons who like her, it's the sons who have to like her regardless of etiquette, she's innocent! You can punish your son as much as you want, you can abolish your son, just let her live, please, don't kill her! ”

The people in the palace were surprised again, and they all looked at Song Chi incredulously, because Song Chi said, begging the emperor to abolish him?

"Scrapped you?"

Song Chen raised his eyebrows and asked angrily, "What did you just say?" Say it to me again? ”

"Father, if you have to kill her, please abolish your son!" The young man said with tears in his eyes: "The queen mother is dead, and the son doesn't want to be this prince anymore!" If you have to kill Concubine Ning, please abolish your sons first! ”

"Are you threatening me?" Song Chen felt extremely incredible, and asked angrily: "Your queen mother is dead, you don't want to be the crown prince anymore?" Do you deserve it for her? Also, for the sake of a woman, you have to give up even your crown prince, right? ”

"Yes, as long as my father can dissipate his anger, as long as you are willing to let her go, son, son, sonchen is willing to die for her!" The boy wept. He has already been released today, whether it is a threat or not, if his father really wants to kill her, then what is he still alive for? It's better to die with her!

"The prince doesn't stop yet!"

Seeing that the conversation between the father and son was already like this, and no longer stopped the fear of a big incident, Chu Xue hurriedly came up and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the prince is young, and he is just talking for a while, don't take it to heart, you can dissipate your anger." ”

Song Chi saw her speak, but it seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly begged her again, "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, please save Concubine Ning, we are really innocent, it was Erchen who was confused for a while to disturb her, Concubine Ning is really innocent!" ”

Of course, Chu Xue didn't want Concubine Ning to die, but right now Song Chen was angry, and it was obvious that Song Chi was desperate for Concubine Ning, so if Song Chi was allowed to continue at this time, it would probably make Song Chen even angrier, and the matter would be even more irreparable. ”

"Yes."

Fugui greeted a few little eunuchs, so he coaxed and coaxed, and finally invited people out of Yufu Palace first.

The child is gone, Song Chen's face is still pale, Chu Xue is really distressed when he sees him being angry like this, and he is trying his best to find a way to solve this matter, whether to abolish the prince or not, that is a major event in the previous dynasty, Song Chen is not an impulsive person, and there are also the queen mother and ministers, but Concubine Ning is a person from the harem after all......

After thinking about it, she suddenly knelt down in front of him, which startled him and asked, "Why are you doing this?" ”

She said: "Please let the emperor calm his anger, the concubine is also wrong in this matter, the concubine is the master of the harem, the stepmother of the prince, she didn't even know that this kind of thing happened, the concubine is really derelict in her duties, please give the emperor a sin!" ”

Song Chen sighed, pulled her up, and said, "Chi'er is so old, how can I blame you for this?" ”

She begged further: "Then please ask the emperor to dissipate his anger first, and this matter will be investigated by the concubines before being dealt with, so as to give the concubines a chance to make up for their mistakes, okay?" ”

Song Chen rubbed the corners of his forehead, and after a while, he finally responded, "It's okay, you can do this matter, as for that child, no matter what, you will ground him for a month first!" ”

"Yes."

Seeing that he finally gave in, Chu Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

~~

On this day, the courtiers waited nearly half an hour longer than usual to see the king of the early dynasty.

Today, the ministers of the early dynasty in the Qinzheng Hall all felt the king's absent-mindedness.

Although Song Chen was sitting on the dragon chair, his mind kept recalling the words of his eldest son who got up early.

He said that his mother was dead and he didn't want to be a prince anymore...... In fact, in the end, what made Song Chen's heart the most blocked was this sentence, what does it mean to "His mother is dead, and he doesn't want to be this prince anymore?" ”

Could it be that this child has never liked the position he will inherit since he was a child? All the obedient efforts are just for his biological mother?

Song Chen felt extremely disappointed and incomprehensible.

He himself is the prince, and it is after layers of open and secret battles that he sits on the dragon chair today, several brothers of his generation, he, the fourth, and even the former abolished prince and the second child, are extremely eager for this position, the right to this position, otherwise, there will not be as thrilling as when they won the heir. In his opinion, it is the desire for this throne since childhood that has prompted him to work hard, accumulate and endure for decades, and if he has no desire, this position will not fall on his head at all.

Lust is so important to the throne!

But his eldest son, the crown prince whom he has bothered to cultivate for more than ten years, actually wants to give up the position of prince that he regarded as a half-life pursuit for the sake of his uncompetitive biological mother, and for the sake of a woman, he actually wants to give up his life, and actually says that he is willing to die for her!

He once worked hard and hard to get something that he regarded as life, but his son said that he could throw it, which was the most painful thorn in his heart, and it also made him have to wake up and re-examine this matter.

There was nothing important today, and after the officials of the book finished playing one by one, the hall fell silent, but the king still did not speak for a long time, and everyone in the hall had questions.

"Your Majesty?"

A soft reminder of good joy sounded in his ears, and the king finally came back to his senses, glanced at everyone in the hall, and only said, "Retreat." And he got up and departed.

The people in the palace also dispersed, and there was still a lot of talk about the king's unusual situation today.

When Xu Jilin saw today's scene, he was even more puzzled. The first thing he did after returning home was to recruit his henchman Zhao Ji and advise: "Send someone to the palace to inquire and see if something happened last night?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Ji hurriedly retreated.

Xu Jilin frowned.

Since their sister's accident, their Xu family has not had a better time. Sister was deposed step by step from the back position, fell into the cold palace, and finally died, each of which was a crime he was unable to argue with, he failed to help his sister, and his own situation outside the palace was not optimistic. The military power in his hands was divided by Song Chen step by step, and his most powerful subordinate Zhao Xuan changed from a military secretary to a waiter who was not enough to succeed overnight, and was suppressed by the new Shangshu Chai Jin promoted by Song Chen himself.

The Ministry of Officials has always been the majority of their own people, but now they are mixed with a person from the Chu family, Chu Lin's son Chu Jian, this kid is the same hard bone as his father, extremely eye-catching, he entered the Ministry of Officials this time, maybe he will set off some waves......

Also, because of the favoritism case that was brought out by the Liao Zhong incident, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has successively investigated and dealt with twenty or thirty officials from large to small, there is no doubt that these are their own party members, with that Chu Lin here, how can the Metropolitan Procuratorate easily let themselves go?

So the only hope at the moment is his nephew Song Chi, the only thing he can borrow is this child, last night he asked someone to bring things in, just to arouse the hatred in this child's bones, don't be blinded by the woman of the Chu family...... As long as the nephew can succeed to the throne, what their Xu family has lost will be able to come back.

Don't let anything happen to him again.

~~

Yufu Palace.

Chu Xue's mood was also a little heavy, although she took this matter, how to deal with Concubine Ning was really tricky.

Song Chen didn't want to keep Concubine Ning, Chu Xue understood that he had his position as a father, and he wanted to do his best to protect his children, so he had to sacrifice a woman he didn't like, after all, they saw the scene last night with their own eyes, and Lifa Lun often lay on his head, even if the two of them really have a friendship, Song Chi and Concubine Ning are a generation apart after all, she has no blood relationship with Song Chi, and can deal with it calmly from the perspective of a bystander, but Song Chen is Song Chi's father after all.

In her selfish heart, Chu Xue still wanted to protect Concubine Ning. After entering the palace for so long, she has always been supple and well-behaved, although Xu Jinhe is the initiator of the selection of concubines, but let Concubine Ning live up to her good youth for more than three years, Chu Xue is still ashamed, she admits that she is not generous enough, and she can't persuade Song Chen to let the harem rain and dew be wet, but she is not cold-blooded to the point of standing by and watching any innocent life.

Not long after breakfast, Zhou Yu bowed down and stood in front of her for a hearing.

Chu Xue said: "You also heard about last night's incident, right?" The emperor ordered this morning to remove all the manpower of the East Palace, this matter will be left to you for the time being, be sure to pick a few clever people, and later, the palace will come over to see it in person. ”

Zhou Yu bowed his head, "Yes, the slave will do it immediately." ”

"Also," Chu Xue said: "Find a few experienced mothers-in-law, go to check Concubine Ning's body, take a good look at Lanlin Palace and the prince, and don't make any more trouble." ”

"Yes." Zhou Yu was still a little hesitant and asked, "Look, 166 Reading Network."
