CHAPTER XXXI

Although it is the former Ming Hall where the emperor sleeps, the hall is like a sword and sword scene at this moment, which makes people feel tense, and even the sick emperor is deeply frowned, but Huo Yi is silent, standing indifferently on the right side of the hall, his dark eyes are glowing with quiet coldness, and there is a domineering spirit that Mount Tai collapses in front of him and does not change.

And King Liang and King Ning, one with a grim face and the other with a pale, each of them has already turned a thousand times in their hearts, analyzing the current situation, thinking about how to express themselves in order to make the situation more favorable to them.

The people of the royal family all know the truth that mothers are more expensive than children. Although the queen is not the biological mother of King Liang, but the queen has no biological son, if she wants to sit firmly on the throne of the queen, King Liang is one of her bargaining chips, and King Liang's biological mother has already passed away, he must rely on the protection of the queen mother, increase the probability of winning the crown prince, the two rely on each other, each take what they need, so many years of expression xiàn is also as seen in the eyes of outsiders The mother and son are filial piety, and the emperor is also very pleased, so when Huo Yi was imprisoned, the power of the prison country was handed over to King Liang, and King Liang also lived up to the emperor's expectations. Handle the affairs of the court in an orderly manner.

The emperor's eldest son Huo Tiancheng that incident came out, so that King Liang lost face in front of the emperor, lost trust, if it were not for the queen's mother's mediation, I am afraid that King Liang would be demoted out of the capital, fortunately, King Liang has learned from the pain since that incident, under the queen's mother's point, it is more careful to take care of the emperor on the sickbed, so that King Liang regained the emperor's trust, and the emperor was relieved and began to reuse King Liang again.

It's just that now that the queen mother died suddenly, King Liang seemed to be instantly removed from the big tree that he could rely on, and he was caught off guard, without the queen mother, he didn't know if the emperor could still accommodate his son in his eyes.

The more King Liang thought about it, the more he hated, and he couldn't wait to cut King Ning's body into thousands of pieces with a thousand knives and thousands of pieces of the virtuous concubine who was kneeling on the ground, and the viciousness in his eyes couldn't help but be revealed, so that Huo Yi, who was standing opposite him, saw it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a weird and indifferent smile.

Su Wanxian saw that the emperor's brows were furrowed, and she knew that he was already puzzled, and said: "Your Majesty, this matter was done by the concubine alone, and the concubine felt guilty and did not dare to defend herself, the concubine only hoped that the emperor would have mercy on the concubine and give the concubine a good time." ”

After King Liang and Uncle Guo glanced at each other, the latter looked at Su Wanxian with a venomous look in his eyes, and said aggressively: "The noble concubine has lived in the deep palace for a long time, how can she get acquainted with foreign people?" Can you still get □□ murder of the queen mother? It's really puzzling to the old minister. ”

Su Wanxian smiled slowly when she heard this, she was already gentle and lovely, although she was middle-aged, she still had a bit of charm that other women did not have. She said slowly: "Uncle Guo doesn't even know about the queen's mother, let alone the palace?" It is true that this palace has lived in the deep palace for a long time, but this palace is also a concubine, if you don't even have the ability to buy a □□, how can you live to this day? Su Wanxian smiled lightly: "Uncle Guo, do you really doubt this palace?" Or do you suspect that Nanye is too weak to even have the ability to ask an exotic medicine king to pay tribute to a pill? ”

Su Wanxian clicked the water, easily shifted the focus of the topic, and brought Uncle Guo to the pit.

Uncle Guo glared at Su Wanxian, knowing that she was not a good stubble, so in order to avoid losing too many words, he had to look at the emperor with tears in his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, the queen mother has served by your side for many years, and there is no merit and hard work, and I hope that the emperor will re-investigate and return the queen to innocence." ”

King Liang knelt on the ground just right: "The son begs his father and the emperor to return his mother's innocence." ”

The reason why the emperor can become the emperor is because he is not stupid, at this moment he squinted his eyes slightly, his gaze swept lightly into the main hall, and finally stopped at King Ning: "Jin'er, how do you say this matter should be handled?" ”

King Ning was already nervous in his heart, Concubine Xian once asked his confidant to pass a message to him after the matter was revealed, so that he would grit his teeth and say that he didn't know anyway, but King Ning knew that once the East Window incident happened, even if he really didn't know, it would be impossible for him to escape from it, not to mention that he was involved in the whole thing.

The emperor's eyes narrowed tighter and tighter, only looking at King Ning alone, waiting for his answer.

King Ning lowered his head, and after thinking about it a few times, he decided to start with the family affection that his father valued the most: "Father, forgive your son's courage, the minister feels that there is no need to investigate this matter, Uncle Guo and King Liang have extreme resentment towards the mother concubine, if you can make them feel better, let the son accompany the mother concubine and apologize together." ”

King Liang said: "King Ning's words are wrong, this king only asks for a truth, if you don't participate, how can you be guilty?" ”

King Ning didn't look at King Liang, but only looked at the emperor and said: "Yu Li, the mother concubine committed the crime of murdering the queen's mother, and the sons also know that this crime is unforgivable, but in love, the mother concubine is the biological mother of the sons, if the father really sentences the mother concubine to death, the sons can't watch the mother concubine die and be indifferent, the sons are willing to accompany the mother concubine together, please ask the father to be fulfilled!" ”

These words were loud, but Su Wanxian and King Ning's palms were full of sweat, the reason why they dared to make a desperate bet was to bet on the emperor's character weakness of caring for family affection, but as soon as the words were finished, the two of them were still afraid, especially Su Wanxian, her body kneeling on the ground couldn't help but tremble, if the emperor really agreed to King Ning's request, then there would be no room for return.

The emperor looked at King Ning, he didn't speak for a long time, his eyes were mixed with too much emotion, and King Ning, who was looking at him, was a little incomprehensible, but Huo Yi was calm, the corners of his lips hooked, and an evil and weird smile flooded from the corners of his mouth.

Many things, the thing itself is often not important, what matters is the person who decides the outcome of the matter, the matter has developed to this point, Huo Yi has already guessed the result, and then he is consumed here, he only feels bored.

In the silent hall, Huo Yi, who was dressed in white and robes, suddenly took two steps to the center of the hall, bowed his hand to the emperor, and his voice was as indifferent as usual: "The emperor's grandmother, father, there are still some things in the son's mansion, so I will retire first." ”

Even though he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Huo Yi was ruthless and acted differently from ordinary people, but in such a situation, he actually wanted to retire first, which still surprised everyone in the palace, which was tantamount to sweeping the emperor's face.

Looking at this son, who looks a little similar to himself, the emperor was a little helpless, he wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but he coughed as soon as he mentioned it in one breath, and finally stopped coughing, and then listened to the queen mother say on the side: "Yi'er has been in the palace for a while, I'm afraid I'm thinking about Xi'er, go back quickly." ”

When the emperor heard the Queen Mother's mother Nian Xi'er, Ben's gloomy face eased slightly, and then he waved his hand to signal Huo Yi to leave.

Song Jingyang and He Biqi, who were waiting outside, saw Huo Yi come out, so they greeted him, and before they could speak, they heard Huo Yi ask: "Biqi, you stay, and when the Queen Mother returns to the palace, take back the fold of the lonely canonization and three thoughts." ”

Song Jingyang and He Biqi glanced at each other, both looking confused, thinking that it should be what happened on the hall just now, Song Jingyang opened his mouth and asked, "Your Highness, why did you take back the excerpt that canonized Miss Lin?" Is something wrong? ”

Huo Yi looked into the distance, and there was an impenetrable look in his deep black eyes: "Lone has other plans." After that, he walked towards the palace gate: "Go home." ”

"Your Highness, the carriage is waiting outside the door."

Huo Yi waved his hand: "No need, ride back alone." The carriage was too slow, and after staying in the palace for so long, he couldn't wait to see Lin Sansi's pure face at the moment.

When Huo Yi returned to the Prince's Mansion, Lin Sansi had already finished lunch and was staying in the side courtyard of Qinglan Garden to bask in the sun, teasing the birds by the way.

Fu Ling stayed in the house to take care of the sleeping little boy, and when she saw Huo Yi entering the house, her eyes swept around, and she hurriedly took him and took off her cloak, and said, "Miss is basking in the sun in the side yard." ”

Huo Yi heard this, so he went out to the side yard, the side yard was originally deserted, after Lin Sansi moved in, planted some flowers and plants, some days ago, Huo Yi asked people to buy some birds from the flower market back, although the flowers and plants have not bloomed, but the birds are singing, it is a good place to relax.

Lin Sansi sat on the chaise longue paved with mink fur, probably amused by the birds, at this time he closed his eyes and took a nap, this courtyard was leeward, but it did not block the sun, the sun shone warmly on her body, shining on her long curly eyelashes and casting a shadow on her pink cheeks.

Lily saw Huo Yi enter the courtyard and was about to wake up Lin Sansi, but saw Huo Yi waving her hand at her, signaling her not to wake up Lin Sansi.

Lily took a chair, made tea, and left with interest, leaving Huo Yi and Lin Sansi in the side courtyard.
