Just when King Xiao was wondering about the abnormality of the Queen Mother, the appearance of the five princes interrupted his train of thought.

"Fifth brother, why haven't you left yet?" King Xiao turned around and asked.

"If you go back to the third brother, the queen wants to invite the third brother to sit in the Vermilion Bird Palace, so let the younger brother wait for the third brother here." The fifth prince replied respectfully, and it could be seen that he was a little nervous.

When King Xiao heard it, he had just been delayed with the Queen Mother for a while, and he was afraid that he would miss the queen! I was looking for a chance to visit her, but I didn't expect her to come first!

Raising his eyes and glancing at Weiyang, King Xiao said with a chuckle.

"Xiao Yanzi, then let's go to the Vermilion Bird Palace!"

Weiyang hurriedly replied: "The minions all listen to the prince!" ”

Glancing at her obedient and well-behaved appearance, King Xiao smiled softly.

In a few days, she will marry herself, and although this is a deal between him and her, King Xiao doesn't care.

He still wants to give her a big wedding.

Although King Changyi did everything possible to obstruct the process of King Xiao's wedding, he finally decided to marry Su Yafeng, not for anything else, just to do so to give King Changyi a heavy blow.

poisoned his mother Concubine Mei, and then used Concubine Mei's death to prevent his wedding, and then undermined King Xiao's power to win over the Su family.

Did he think that would leave him alone?

What a naivety!

While thinking about it, I walked forward, and after a few turns, I came to the Suzaku Palace.

Suzaku Palace is located directly north of Wanshou Palace, and it has always been the palace where the Empress of the Shogu Palace lived.

"When the son knocks on the queen mother, may the queen mother live a long and healthy life." As soon as he entered the door, he saw the queen sitting on the main seat waiting for him, and King Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye.

The queen waved his hand to his feet, and sat him down in the chair on her right.

"Go back, sit down! How about trying this Hongu tea? ”

As soon as the queen raised her wrist, she ordered the palace maid to bring a cup of tea to King Xiao, and the bright red cinnabar strings on her wrist shook Weiyang's heart.

involuntarily reminded Weiyang of the poison pot mixed with cinnabar.

The mastermind behind this .... Could it be her?

Xiao Wang's hands were inconvenient, his right hand was holding the buckle bowl, his left hand was tied with a bandage, and he didn't lift the lid for a long time.

Seeing this, Weiyang hurriedly went over and took the buckle bowl.

Lifted the buckle bowl and blew the hot air, Weiyang handed the tea bowl to King Xiao.

Xiao Dynasty smiled softly, took the tea bowl and tasted it, only to feel a bitter mouth, which made Xiao Wang immediately frown.

"It's the first time I've tasted the tea here from the queen mother, but I'm a little unaccustomed to it......"

The queen chuckled lightly, and said secretly in her heart: This child is a straightforward character.

Before the queen could speak, the fifth prince "giggled" and said to King Xiao.

"The third brother doesn't know, this is the world-famous three-course tea! The third brother tasted the first dish just now: bitter tea. ”

King Xiao had never drunk three courses of tea, and he was a little at a loss for the explanation of the five princes.

"Erchen is only a shallow learner, and he is not as well-informed as the fifth brother."

The queen put down the teacup in her hand, called the palace maid and changed the cup for King Xiao.

"Hui'er has never been in contact with Buddhism, and it is inevitable that he is unfamiliar with these three teas, and he has been worshipping Buddha with the palace for many days, and he has only understood this tea with the palace!"

The queen's words suddenly made the fifth prince put away the smugness on his face, and called out a little embarrassed: "The queen mother ......"

The fifth prince just wanted to show off in front of King Xiao, so he asked the queen mother to reveal the old bottom, and her face suddenly became a little ugly.

The queen glanced at the five princes helplessly and sighed softly.

"Hui'er, try this."

Weiyang hurriedly took the second cup of tea, opened the lid and fed it to King Xiao.

King Xiao was afraid that this tea was bitter, so he tasted it tentatively, and the result was ...... This tea is very sweet.

"Queen Mother, Erchen guesses that this tea is: sweet tea!" King Xiao looked up and said.

The queen chuckled and nodded, took a sip of herself, and then said.

"Not bad! The second course is sweet tea. With the first tea as a contrast, this second dish is unusually sweet. ”

When the fifth prince saw that his words were snatched by King Xiao, he was immediately a little frustrated, and he couldn't say anything because of etiquette, he just sat wilted and didn't drink tea.

Weiyang glanced at the fifth prince and twisted his eyebrows.

Will the queen really support such a child to succeed to the throne? He doesn't understand anything!

King Xiao nodded hurriedly and put down the teacup.

"I didn't expect to come to my mother's place to drink tea, and I can also understand the truth of bitterness, my son is really taught!"

The queen chuckled and nodded, and raised her hand to ask the palace maid to change a cup of tea for King Xiao.

Weiyang served King Xiao to drink tea as usual.

This cup of tea is very different from the previous two cups, as soon as the lid is opened, a fresh fragrance suddenly comes to the face.

"What a fragrant tea! Take a sip, the aroma is fragrant, and the mouth is full of relish! ”

King Xiao praised.

The queen nodded.

"The third tea is fragrant tea, also known as aftertaste tea."

"These three courses of tea are comparable to a person's life. People always have to go through hardships and ups and downs in their lives, and they will also have the beauty and happiness that comes from hardships. In short, all of this is just a passing moment in the end. After experiencing the ups and downs, I also figured out that in fact, everything is not important, fame, status, wealth, success or failure are just ropes that bind people. What could be more important than life itself? ”

After saying this, the queen glanced up at King Xiao and sighed softly.

"Hui'er, in fact, over the years, this palace has already looked down on these! Now, this palace only wants to take Qi'er to spend the rest of his life in peace. ”

It wasn't until now that King Xiao really understood the queen's intention of inviting him to drink three teas, it turned out that she wanted to show him that she had no intention of competing for the throne!

One bitter, two sweet and three aftertastes, experienced great wealth and wealth, and experienced twists and turns that ordinary people can't imagine, did it really make the queen let go of all desires/hopes and return to the indifference of "laughing and watching the flowers bloom and fall"?

Now, King Xiao has simply made his words clear!

"The queen mother doesn't know that Concubine Chen's death and Concubine Mei's illness are all related to cinnabar...... King Xiao told the queen all the results of the investigation.

"Therefore, even if all the evidence points to the queen mother, the son still wants to hear the queen mother's explanation."

After hearing these words, the queen's hands trembled slightly.

"I didn't expect this palace to be so forbearing, she still refuses to let me go!"

"She? Who is she? King Xiao hurriedly asked.

Glancing at the five princes, the queen raised her hand and called him over.

"Qi'er, you go back to Taixue! Don't let the master wait! ”

The fifth prince kowtowed to the queen and left!

Glancing up at the queen's pale face, Weiyang knew she had something to say.

"I didn't kill her child!" After being silent for half a cup of tea, the queen spit out softly.

Hearing this, Weiyang was shocked and immediately opened his eyes.

"The Great Prince!"

remembered what Concubine Mei said, and after the death of the eldest prince, there were rumors in the palace that the queen mother pushed the eldest prince off the lotus pond.

Now it seems that this is what the queen mother said!

Isn't she in the queen's mouth a concubine?

"Not bad! Twenty-six years ago, on your first birthday, the eldest prince fell into the lotus pond and drowned. In those days, the palace was very harmful, and every day I would go to the pool to sit and smell the lotus fragrance to relieve the discomfort on my body. ”

"It's just that day, the palace saw two figures on the opposite side of the pond from a distance, as if they were catching fish by the river, and the palace took a special look, as if the two children of the eldest prince and the second prince were playing."

"After a while, I only felt that the sun was a little poisonous, and the palace went back, but I didn't expect to wake up, and the news came that the eldest prince drowned in the lotus pond, and then someone falsely rumored that I killed the eldest prince!"

"The eldest prince is playing with the second prince? Can you see clearly? Hearing such news, Weiyang was so shocked that he didn't care about his identity, and asked himself.

Then he realized that he had overstepped, and quickly knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

"The slave deserves to die, please punish the mother."

The queen mother waved her hand and let her get up!

"Your question is right, and this palace often asks itself this, did you really see the person who was with the eldest prince clearly back then! It's just that no one believes the words of this palace, because Concubine Rong said that the second prince has never left her! Even Chen Julian, who was beside Concubine Wan, insisted that it was the eldest prince who went to the lotus pond alone. ”

"Later, Hongu began to doubt his eyes! However, the death of the eldest prince really has nothing to do with this palace. ”

"In the end of the investigation, no definite evidence was found, although the emperor did not punish the palace, but ...... I think most of the people in this palace think that this palace killed the eldest prince, including his mother Concubine Wan, perhaps, even the emperor thinks so. ”

"Later...... The child in the womb of the uterus...... It's gone! At this point, the queen picked up the handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Looking up at the sadness on the queen's face, Weiyang could feel the pain from her heart, it was the pain of her loss of a child.

But...... Is this really related to the king of Changyi?

Could it be that he was the one who killed the great prince?

But he was only six years old! Is such a young child killing the eldest prince? It's incredible!

Weiyang glanced at King Xiao with some shock, and King Xiao's face was also full of surprise.

"Queen Mother, I heard that the palace was haunted a few months ago?" King Xiao frowned and continued to ask.

The queen sniffed and nodded with red eyes.

"As soon as it was night, there was a shadow dangling in front of the window of the palace, and that dress was exactly what the eldest prince was wearing when he had an accident. Bengong didn't harm him, I don't know why he has to pester Bengong? Later, Bengong thought that maybe he was wronged and couldn't enter reincarnation, so he asked the emperor to invite a mage to overkill the dead for him. But who knows, this move of the palace made the people in the palace talk a lot, saying that the palace killed the eldest prince back then, and he did it out of guilt! ”

"I don't want to explain these words, so let those people say it! Anyway, this palace is worthy of the Buddha and the ancestors, whether others can understand it or not, this palace doesn't care! ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that Concubine Wan to be so heartbroken, seeing the ten-year-old Ying Qi called Ying Huai, and said that Concubine Chen robbed her child!"

"You know what? The four miscarriages in this palace are all thanks to her! It's just that she didn't expect that in order to get Yingqi, she actually killed Concubine Chen! ”

The queen mother revealed a shocking secret, and this result was really unexpected!
