Although Murong Xilang was not as simple and clear as he said, the emperor still guessed the meaning of his words, and asked with some surprise: "You mean about the position of the crown prince?" Could it be that the queen came to me today for the position of the crown prince? ”

Murong Xilang nodded, "In the opinion of the minister, yes." As long as the emperor stays, he will know that now the eldest prince and the third prince are already ready to move, and the two frequently contact the ministers of the court, not long ago, the third prince came to the general's mansion almost every day to find his father, but was repeatedly rejected by his father. ”

The emperor pursed his lips and didn't speak, although he knew that those princes had ambitions for the throne, but he didn't expect that the eldest prince and the third prince had already taken action, and couldn't help but say a little angrily: "I'm not dead yet, they just think about my position, and they just don't take me in their eyes." ”

"The emperor is angry, why bother hurting his body for this matter, the minister told you this incident also to remind the emperor not to be so decadent, so as not to be exploited by someone with a heart." Murong Xilang said with a serious face.

Although the emperor didn't say anything more, Murong Xilang could still see from his expression that he had heard his words in his ears.

"Your Majesty, it's better to meet the queen and hear what her purpose is here." After Murong Xilang finished speaking, before the emperor could react, Murong Xilang jumped out of the window next to him, and he disappeared without a trace.

"Queen, you'd better go back. The emperor said that he would not see anyone. The slave looked at the queen with some embarrassment and said, on the one hand, the emperor's order did not dare to disobey, and on the other hand, the queen did not dare to offend, and the slave wailed in his heart.

"You go in and tell the emperor that if he doesn't see the palace for a day, the palace will wait outside this dormitory, and he will wait until the emperor is willing to see the palace." The queen had already guessed that the emperor would refuse to see her, but fortunately, she also knew that the emperor not only refused to see her, but also saw anyone, which made the queen feel more comfortable.

"Queen, don't embarrass the slave anymore, the emperor said that if you don't see anyone, you won't see anyone, why do you have to suffer and can't get along with yourself?" The servant persuaded the queen with a crying face.

The queen didn't say anything, and stood outside the door with a resolute face, as if she had to wait until the emperor saw her. But there was another voice in her heart complaining, if it weren't for Xuanyuan Che's throne, if it weren't for her future status in the harem, she wouldn't be standing here begging the emperor.

The servant saw that the queen seemed to be determined to not leave, and was anxious and did not know what to do, so he had to carefully enter the house again.

"Your Majesty, the queen is still waiting at the door." The servant secretly observed the emperor's expression as he spoke, and found that there was no displeasure on the emperor's face, so he continued: "The queen said that she had been waiting at the door until the emperor was willing to see her. ”

Murong Xilang's words had been circling in the emperor's mind, and now when he heard the slave relaying the queen's words, his heart was full of all kinds of doubts and doubts.

"You let the queen in." After a long time, the emperor said expressionlessly.

"Yes! The minion will go and talk back. Hearing that the emperor finally bowed his head and agreed with the queen, the slave almost jumped up happily, and there was finally no need to be in a dilemma.

"Is the emperor really willing to see me?" Hearing the communication of the minions, the queen didn't react for a while, she didn't expect the emperor to agree with her so quickly, she thought that she would wait until it was dark at night.

"Yes, the emperor personally said that the queen would let you in, and the queen should hurry up and go in." The minion nodded affirmatively.

The queen took a deep breath at the door, and then walked into the emperor's bedroom with firm steps, and saw the emperor sitting thoughtfully at the desk, so she stepped forward and respectfully greeted her, "The concubine greets the emperor." ”

"Get up, the queen has come to me, what is the matter with her insistence on seeing me?" The emperor glanced at the queen and asked a little coldly.

Seeing the emperor's cold attitude towards herself, the queen was a little unhappy in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it, for fear of causing the emperor's displeasure and ruining the purpose of coming here today, so she endured the unhappiness in her heart and pulled out a smile and pretended to be concerned and said: "The concubine knows that the emperor is unwell, and she has been very worried in her heart, in fact, the concubine has come to visit the emperor a few days ago, but the emperor did not want to see the concubine at that time. There was actually a hint of dissatisfaction and complaint in the queen's seemingly explained words.

"I know my body, and besides, there are imperial doctors and servants waiting for me, so the queen doesn't have to worry." The emperor coldly rejected the queen's concern, "If the queen is fine, go back to the palace to rest." ”

The emperor took out the portrait of the imperial concubine again and spread it on the desk, looking intently at the imperial concubine in the portrait, his face was full of deep longing.

When the queen saw the person in the portrait, her face immediately became very ugly, and all kinds of emotions of shock, jealousy, and anger were entangled in her heart. The queen pursed her lips and gritted her teeth tightly, trying her best to hold back the complicated emotions in her heart.

"Does the Queen have anything else to say?" Although he didn't look up, the emperor knew that the queen had not left, so he opened his mouth and issued an eviction order, "I just want to stay alone and quiet now." ”

"The emperor has never forgotten Concubine Li?" The queen took a deep breath, suppressed the complicated heart in her heart, and said with some mockery: "It's a pity that Concubine Li died at a young age, leaving such a son as the Nine Emperor Princes, but I didn't expect the son to die so early." ”

"Enough!" The emperor raised his head in displeasure and stopped the queen from continuing, "I haven't seen the corpse of the Nine Emperor Princes for a day, and I won't believe that he is dead. ”

Although the emperor said this, the queen still saw that the emperor was reluctant to say so, and the sad expression on his face had convinced the queen that the emperor believed that Xuanyuan Hao was dead.

"Your Majesty, I know that the truth has always been very cruel, but you should also accept this reality." The expression on the queen's face suddenly became very sad, "The concubine is the queen, the head of the harem, those princes and princesses are not only the emperor's children, but also the children of the concubines, and the concubines are also very sad and sad to lose their children. ”

"I know what I'm doing." The emperor didn't expect the queen to say these words, thinking of the second prince and the fourth prince before, those two princes were the queen's sons, thinking that the queen also lost these two sons, the emperor's cold attitude just now also changed a little, and he no longer faced the queen with a cold face.

The queen saw that the emperor was finally not so indifferent to herself, so she took the opportunity to continue: "The concubine knows that saying these words may cause the emperor's displeasure, but as the queen, the mother of a country, even if the emperor is angry and blames the concubine, the concubine has to say these words. ”

"What?" The emperor looked at the queen with a righteous and awe-inspiring look and asked with some puzzlement.

"The emperor misses Huang Lifei and is blindly immersed in the sadness of losing the Nine Emperor Princes, but he forgets the heavy responsibility on you, forgets the society of the country, and forgets your Li people, how can you be worthy of the ancestors and the people?" The queen asked the emperor righteously, "If the emperor is not in the mood to ask about court affairs, why don't you find someone among the princes to help you deal with political affairs?" ”

"Then which prince does the queen think can help me share political affairs?" The emperor glanced at the queen and had already heard the purpose of her words, so he asked along the water.

"The Great Prince." The queen said the name of the eldest prince without blushing or panting, and when she saw the emperor's surprised and suspicious gaze, she explained very calmly: "Maybe the emperor will think that the concubine is selfish and will recommend the eldest prince, the concubine does not deny that there is this reason, but this reason is not the real reason, the concubine will really recommend the eldest prince for the sake of the court and the people of the world." ”

"Okay, then you tell me why I chose the eldest prince?" The emperor closed the portrait again and put it aside, and couldn't help but be curious about the queen's explanation.

"The eldest prince is the eldest son, and he has already won over other princes in terms of identity. The eldest prince was brought up by the concubine himself since he was a child, and his study was also supervised by the concubine himself, and he was never lazy, he has been by your side to help you deal with political affairs over the years, so the concubine is confident that he can handle political affairs well. The queen counted Xuanyuan to the emperor one by one.

"I understand what you mean, you let me think about it." The emperor said ambiguously, "Although the eldest prince is indeed as you said, but among the many princes, the eldest prince is not prominent, and there are also excellent princes in him, if only the queen's words cannot sway my thoughts." ”

"So what is the emperor's idea?" The queen was shocked in her heart, and couldn't wait to ask the emperor, "Is it that the emperor already has a favorite candidate in his heart, who is it?" ”

"I'm just still thinking about it, and I'm not sure who it is." The emperor spared the queen's question without a trace, "The queen should go back first, and when I think about it, I will pass on the decree, and the queen will naturally know at that time." ”

"Your Majesty!" Hearing the emperor say this, the queen, who had been holding back her temper to please her, finally couldn't help it, looked at the emperor with a cold face and said, "Can't the emperor tell the concubine what you think in your heart?" Maybe the concubines can also give the emperor a reference. ”

"No need, if the queen really wants to help, go back to the palace first, let me stay alone for a while, and give me some time to think about it." The emperor rejected the queen again, this time his tone was not as kind as before, and he was a little tougher and resolutely rejected the queen.

The queen moved her lips, and finally did not say anything, and left the emperor's bedroom with a displeased body.
