The days passed day by day, and the antidote had not been returned, which made King Xiao anxious.

The 20,000 men of the Su family army have already marched to Jinshan to die, and if there is a sudden change in the capital, this team will be the timely rain to save the driver.

On this day, less than ten days before the queen's burial, another strange thing happened in the palace.

Uncle Cui Gang sent his own daughter to the palace.

"Xinjiao is only fifteen this year, what is he going to do? Being an uncle of the country is not satisfied, he still wants to be the uncle of the country? ”

When the queen mother heard the news, she was so angry that she suddenly blushed.

"The queen mother suggested that her father should directly set up Xin Ji as the queen on the grounds that the country could not be without a queen for a day, and the queen's bones were not cold, and the queen mother wanted her father to set up a new queen, and her father was also very angry about this."

King Xiao had just come out of the palace, and the emperor secretly summoned him, not only telling him that the queen mother was going to set up the Cui clan as the queen, but also asked him to find someone.

"What can you do after the canonization of the Cui clan? The emperor will not let the Cui family have an heir! The queen twisted the Buddha beads in her hand and said indifferently.

"Why do you say that?" The queen's words suddenly startled Weiyang.

Although Chen Julian has not confessed yet, it is already a fact that he killed the four princes.

Liu Yunhe of Yiyuntang has also been found, and King Xiao interrogated him yesterday, so Doctor Liu told the truth at that time.

At that time, Imperial Physician Liu found that Concubine Chen had signs of poisoning and wanted to report to the emperor, but before he was in a hurry, he was threatened with his life by Chen Julian and made him keep his mouth shut.

This Imperial Physician Liu was afraid that he would give this old life, so he resigned and returned to his hometown, but he didn't expect that his disciple Feng Xiaoxiao could not escape this catastrophe and was killed by them.

When Concubine Wan wanted to attack the five princes who had lost the protection of Concubine Chen, the queen mother stood up and saved the five princes, which failed to make her succeed.

On that day, the queen said that Concubine Wan believed that the queen had killed the eldest prince, so she secretly used means to cause the queen to have four miscarriages.

But now, these words of the queen mother ...... And what does that mean?

The people who killed the emperor's heir, aren't they Chen Julian and Concubine Wan?

"Humph! Do you know why my heart is like water, and I am devoted to the Buddha? That's because my heart is already cold! The queen smiled bitterly.

"No matter how clever Concubine Wan's methods are, she has left a lot of evidence, she has attacked me more than a dozen times, how can she not leave any clues? When I took these evidences to the emperor, I was ...... He was just perfunctory. It wasn't until later that I figured out that although it was Concubine Wan who poisoned me, wasn't this the emperor's mind? ”

"The Queen Mother was born in the Cui family, I am also a member of the Cui family, and my brother is in charge of the garrison of the entire capital, with heavy troops, and the relationship is even more complicated, and the Cui family is also in power. The emperor is afraid that if I give birth to a prince, he will use the powerful power of the Cui family to force him to abdicate and support the new master! ”

Then I figured these things out, and my heart calmed down. Every time the emperor came to the Suzaku Palace, I politely refused to call it sick. Now, I don't want to be used by the Queen Mother and Cui Gang as pawns to seize power, so I simply stay away from the palace and live a life of pure heart and few desires. ”

And they still refused to give up, and got a Cui family woman into the palace, hey! It's a pity that the child's flowery years will be a tragic reincarnation. ”

After saying that, the queen smiled faintly, unable to tell whether it was bitter or sarcastic.

"Concubine Wan mutilated the child in the mother's womb, it turns out that the emperor knows!"

Weiyang frowned, his eyes widening in surprise.

Under the lure of this huge power, mothers, wives, and children have become the objects of vigilance, and in order to protect their status, they do not hesitate to watch their relatives lose one by one!

"Yes! Now, the emperor thinks I'm dead, so he sent Concubine Wan into the cold palace, that's because she is useless! I kept her in order to balance me in this harem, that is, to contain the Cui family and the queen mother. ”

"How is this possible? How could the Queen Mother seize power in the hands of the emperor? It's the emperor who has too much heart! King Xiao frowned, not believing the queen's words.

Besides, the Queen Mother still loves him very much!

Concubine Mei, who had been silent, patted King Xiao's shoulder and said.

"Hui'er, do you know why your father insisted on sending you out of the palace to learn art?"

"My father deliberately cultivated me, hoping that I could become a pillar of talent!" King Xiao replied.

Concubine Mei nodded.

"You're only half right, and the other half is because it's to protect you and let you grow up safely."

"Mother, do you mean that someone wants to harm me?" The king was horrified.

"Needless to say, Concubine Wan, since she lost the eldest prince, she has lost her mind, and she is the easiest to be used by others." The Queen took over the topic.

"Hui'er, your mother was so favored back then, and you also impressed the emperor, do you say that there will be fewer people who hate you? The Queen Mother has reminded me more than once that I will give birth to the prince as soon as possible, and I can't keep you until adulthood! ”

The queen's words made King Xiao's heart "chuckle" for a moment, which made him unbelievable.

"Impossible...... The Queen Mother hurts me like that, I don't believe it, I don't believe it...... She wants my life! Xiao Wang's lips trembled, and beads of sweat fell.

"Hurt you? Hmph, whoever she is good to, she has a purpose! If it weren't for the fact that I hadn't been able to leave my blood in my life, if it weren't for you being valued by the emperor, how could she be good to you? There is a premise for her love for others, and that premise is to be beneficial to her and absolutely obedient. ”

The queen sneered, she also used to think that her own aunt, the queen mother, loved her niece, but in the end she realized that when she disobeyed the queen mother's orders, she was more ruthless to herself than anyone else.

"The Queen Mother and her brother Cui Gang lobbied me in every possible way, asking me to do everything possible to support the fifth prince as the crown prince, but I did not agree. I don't want to be their puppet anymore to seize power, I just want to live a peaceful life with Yingqi. But they persecuted me in every way, and threatened my nurse's life, forcing me to commit it. Pity the nurse who loves me all my life...... Woo, unbearable to be tortured by them, a ...... Crashed to death! Speaking of this, the queen was already crying.

Weiyang couldn't help but come to the queen's side, caressing the queen's shoulders that were constantly trembling due to sobbing, wanting to comfort her, and she herself was infected by the queen's sadness, which caused her to leave two lines of tears.

Under Weiyang's intimate comfort, after the queen cried for a while, she felt that her heart was much brighter, so she raised her head and looked at King Xiao and continued: "I don't know that the emperor has a plan, he sent the Su family army to join you early, and gave Su Yafeng to you in marriage, wanting to use the power of the Su family to strengthen your power and status, so as to balance the power of the Cui family. ”

It wasn't until now that King Xiao understood that even if he got the evidence that Su Yafeng's child had nothing to do with him, the emperor would rather destroy the evidence and insist on asking him to marry Su Yafeng.

It turned out that the emperor wanted to strengthen his power in order to balance the powerful and ambitious Cui family!

The father was really well-intentioned, but he didn't realize it.

Seeing King Xiao's wilting appearance, the queen smiled bitterly.

"In the end, they may have completely chilled me, and they gave up on my chess piece!"

"It's also a good thing that Niangniang can leave the Cui family now and start the life she wants!" Such a family, if you leave, you will leave, and there is really nothing to be nostalgic about. Weiyang was happy for the queen in his heart.

"This is not a blessing for Concubine Mei!" Glancing at Concubine Mei, the queen smiled faintly.

After listening to the queen's words, King Xiao's mood was very sad.

He couldn't accept the Queen Mother's attitude towards him for the time being, and since he was a child, he has always thought that the Queen Mother loves him from the bottom of her heart.

It's just that what has happened recently has also made King Xiao suspicious.

On that day, he did not follow the Empress Dowager's decree to besiege the families of missing officials.

In just one night, the Queen Mother united with Cui Gang to besiege the mansions of those officials.

Subsequently, Cui Gang's soldiers and horses appeared in Dongchen Tower and almost killed him!

If it weren't for the appearance of a crazy old monk, his little life would have been confessed a long time ago!

Don't...... Is this also what the Queen Mother means? Get rid of his disobedient grandson and replace it with an obedient support?

Suddenly remembering the person his father asked him to find, King Xiao immediately asked.

"The father wants his son to find someone, this person is the youngest son of the ancestor emperor, the younger brother of the first emperor, Fang Jingyan, I don't know if the queen mother has heard of it?"

"Uncle Thirteen!" The queen muttered.

When King Xiao heard that there was a door, he hurriedly asked: "Exactly, does the queen mother know his whereabouts?" ”

"I haven't seen it in decades! Although this prince is the son of the ancestor, he is not very old, only three years older than the emperor, and one year younger than the first prince! When he was twenty years old, he left the country of Changling and traveled all over the world, and never came back. How could the emperor suddenly remember him? The queen asked, raising an eyebrow.

King Xiao shook his head, he didn't know what the emperor meant.

Leaving the courtyard, Weiyang sat in the carriage with some restlessness, thinking about what the queen said.

If the Queen Mother and the Cui family are plotting against each other, then why are they besieging the missing officials?

Suddenly looked up at Lan Xue'er, who was sitting opposite, and Weiyang remembered that day when King Xiao mentioned King Dugu in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's abnormal expression.

"Cher, can you write a letter to your father?" Weiyang asked tentatively.

"Huh? What letter? Her surprise startled Lan Xue'er.

"Ask him if he knows the Empress Dowager Cui of Changling Kingdom." Weiyang replied.

"How could he possibly know the Empress Dowager of Changling Kingdom? Master...... Are you poisoned? Hallucinations? I'll take you to meet Big Ice! ”

Lan Xue'er grabbed Weiyang's wrist and was about to pull her out of the carriage.

"Xue'er, your father used to be the royal guard of Changling Kingdom!"

Weiyang pressed her shoulders and said seriously.

"What you said is true?" Seeing that she didn't look like she was joking at all, Lan Xue'er's eyes widened in surprise at the news.

Weiyang nodded solemnly.

"He should be hiding from someone to run to Yancheng. And who is he hiding? What did you go to Yancheng for? ”

Weiyang muttered to himself, frowning and thinking.

"Yancheng turned out to be my grandfather's city, and King Dugu actually referred to my grandfather. My mother and I have lived in Yancheng since we were children, and my father inherited this city after my grandfather died, and later he followed my grandfather to call King Dugu! ”

"According to what you said, who is my father hiding from if he doesn't return to the Central Plains? Could it be the Queen Mother? Lan Xue'er looked at Weiyang in surprise!

Weiyang frowned and replied: "It's hard to say now, it's just that King Xiao mentioned your father to the Queen Mother a few days ago, and the Queen Mother was obviously panicked when she heard your father's name, but she was eager to deny it, such a reaction is too unusual!" ”

"Even if you write to him and ask him, he won't say what he doesn't want to say, so it's better to trick him! Ask him face to face, don't be afraid that he won't say. Lan Xue'er proposed.

Weiyang raised his eyebrows: "Yes!" Having been hiding it for so many years, how could he possibly say it? It may be in vain to ask. Xue'er, how are you going to trick King Dugu? ”

Lan Xue'er rolled her eyes and said after a moment.

"Let's just say that I was kidnapped, and I have to come forward to rescue him!"

If you want to talk about cheating, this Lan Xueer is really unambiguous.

As soon as he heard that Lan Xue'er was in danger, King Dugu couldn't sit still, and Weiyang also felt that King Dugu would definitely come.

"Cher, are you sure you want to do this?" Weiyang reconfirmed.

"Well, I'll write a handwritten letter telling him that I've been kidnapped, and let him come quickly." Lan Xue'er said firmly.

The past will have to be faced sooner or later, and you can't hide from your children and grandchildren, right?

She Lan Xue'er doesn't want to be a turtle with a shrunken head!

In this way, as soon as she returned to the palace, Lan Xue'er wrote a letter to King Dugu, and took off the jade pendant left by her mother and sealed it with the letter.

"If my father and your grandmother really have a grudge, you must keep my father safe."

Handing the letter to King Xiao, Lan Xue'er said solemnly.

"If the Cui family really plots against you, you and your father are the heroes who protect the country, and this king will not only keep you safe, but also implore the emperor to give your father an official and a knight."

Holding Lan Xue'er's letter, King Xiao swore by it.

"Humph! It's okay to add an official to a knight, but it's ...... I want to be personal with you, I don't know if you give it or not? Lan Xue'er glanced at King Xiao and lowered her voice badly.

At this glance, King Xiao's heart was furious.

"I'm a famous flower! You can't worry about it! King Xiao quickly stood up and clarified.

"Cut...... You're already yesterday's yellow flower! Rest assured, it's not you! Glancing at the worry on King Xiao's face, Lan Xue'er gave him a big roll of his eyes.

King Xiao breathed a deep sigh of relief, but there was a little loss in his heart.

What's going on? Is there anyone more attractive than him? This is a big blow to the super narcissistic Xiao King!

"Who do you want?" King Xiao asked.

Lan Xue'er glanced at Nie Jiang who was standing at the door and said.

"I happen to lack a guard, see he's not bad, it's mine!"

When Nie Jiang heard this, a mouthful of blood nestled in his heart, and he almost vomited it.

But...... King Xiao, the unreliable master, actually agreed!

"As long as you can survive the crisis and quell the rebellion between the Cui family and the king of Changyi, he will be yours!"

"Poof!" Nie Jiang covered his heart with both hands, almost turning his back on his back!
