Chapter 193: Prime Minister Zhao Cheng
Xiao Wenxuan knew that Liu Qingyang had always been a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, and he would not demolish him.
Xiao Wenxuan hugged his fists and said: "I have written down this intention." ”
Liu Qingyang held Xiao Wenxuan's fist-hugging hand, "As long as you remember what you just said, you are the greatest gratitude to me." ”
"Big brother, don't worry, without this matter, I won't waver. ”
Liu Qingyang nodded, "What do you want to do?" I have asked Ruoxi, if you want to ask anything more, it is estimated that it will be difficult." ”
Xiao Wenxuan's eyes narrowed, "I also suspect that it has something to do with the queen, after all, she is the one who makes the last profit, but I have always had some doubts before, she is from Xinbei and cannot have this medicine, but the news you brought today, I think my worries are gone." ”
"But there is the Zhao family behind her, and it is best to have a foolproof plan when you want to move her. ”
This is also the reason why Xiao Wenxuan has not made the next move, if there is no evidence, the queen really can't move.
"Don't worry, eldest brother, I know it in my heart, but Ruoxi will say a few more good words to my eldest brother, don't worry about my affairs. As for what she misunderstood, I will explain it to her one day. Xiao Wenxuan said and gave up.
Liu Qingyang hurriedly helped Xiao Wenxuan up, "Don't worry, Ruoxi has me, be careful." ”
Xiao Wenxuan nodded, "Big brother, you too." ”
Liu Qingyang thought of Liu Baiming's matter, and didn't know whether to tell Xiao Wenxuan, so he was in trouble for a while.
Xiao Wenxuan saw that Liu Qingyang had something on his mind, and said, "Big brother still has something?"
Liu Qingyang felt that it was necessary to talk to Xiao Wenxuan about this matter, as for what he thought, it was his business.
"One more thing, the third prince Xiao Lin is very close to Liu Baiming now, I don't know if they are planning something?"
"Did the big brother find anything?"
Liu Qingyang shook his head, "Not at the moment, but Ruoxi is worried about what they are planning secretly, so let me pay more attention." ”
"I know, I will watch Xiao Lin in the palace, and if he has any actions, I will tell my eldest brother immediately. ”
"Good. ”
After Liu Qingyang left, Xiao Wenxuan called Ruofeng.
Ruofeng came in and found Xiao Wenxuan standing in front of the window with his back hand.
"Master, are you looking for me?"
Xiao Wenxuan turned his head, "Well, just now Liu Qingyang came, tell me something, you put down the matter in your hand first, and go to investigate Lin Zhihe's wife to see what her identity is, and let his subordinates pay more attention to the third prince and see what he has been doing recently." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it. ”
Xiao Wen waved his hand, and Ruofeng turned around and left.
"Prime Minister Zhao, do you say we have to do this?" Xiao Lin sat in front of the bookcase, looking at the person sitting on the side wearing an ink-colored official robe, the man had a fat waist and a pair of eyes showing essence, this person was the father of the current queen, Zhao Chengxiang.
Zhao Chengxiang touched his white goatee, "Third prince, didn't this matter be said a long time ago, Liu Baiming has been wooed over, are you still hesitating?"
Xiao Lin didn't hesitate, but felt uneasy.
"The prime minister is not the prince who hesitates, but he always feels that it is not time to do this yet. ”
Prime Minister Zhao used to see that the queen had no prince, and there was only this successive third prince under his knees, otherwise he would not have bothered to speak.
"The third prince, it's not that the minister is in a hurry, it's just that you see that there was a prince in front of him before, but it's not certain whether his body can hold up to that position, but now a prince has emerged, and the emperor loves him very much, if we don't act first, I'm afraid..."
Thinking that Xiao Lingshan favored the prince who came out everywhere, the hatred in Xiao Lin's eyes couldn't be concealed.
"Prime Minister, things will be done as you say. ”
Prime Minister Zhao Cheng looked at Xiao Lin and smiled proudly, "Yes, after the matter is completed, don't forget Lao'er to the third prince." ”
"How come, the queen is a mother, you will be my grandfather's family in the future, as a grandson, how can I forget you old. ”
"By the way, Prime Minister, you said earlier that you arranged some people to be by Xiao Wenxuan's side early, who is that person?"
At the mention of this person, Prime Minister Zhao Cheng became proud, "Third prince, it is best to keep this person's identity secret now, so that the enemy can be caught off guard when the time comes." ”
Xiao Lin saw that Zhao Cheng was hiding it from him. A little unhappy.
"Can't the prince tell me?"
Prime Minister Zhao Cheng looked at Xiao Lin's face was not good, and said in a panic: "It's not that the third prince doesn't tell you, it's just that there is really no way to say the identity of this person, and I will forgive the third prince." ”
Xiao Lin thought about him, and Prime Minister Zhao didn't dare to do anything unfavorable to himself. sighed, "This prince doesn't ask, but when the time comes, the prime minister must inform this prince as soon as possible." ”
Prime Minister Zhao Cheng bowed his hand and said, "Yes." ”
Xiao Lin and Zhao Chengxiang discussed things in the house for an afternoon, and Zhao Chengxiang left after dark.
"The third prince, how can the slave think that Prime Minister Zhao seems to have something to hide from his master. ”
Xiao Lin sneered, "You can see this little plum, don't you know that this prince doesn't know, but he can still be used by me now, so I'll keep him first." ”
Xiao Lizi has always followed Xiao Lin's side, and he has long been accustomed to his viciousness.
"Third prince, do you want to talk to the queen first, in case something happens, maybe she can help a little. ”
Xiao Lin glanced at Xiao Lizi coldly, and Xiao Lizi shuddered in fright.
"Xiao Lizi, when did you get close to the queen's people?"
Xiao Lizi was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed violently, "Three princes, the minions don't dare, the minions don't dare." ”
Xiao Lin glanced at the kneeling little plum with disgust, "Get up, this prince still knows your courage, and you can't do anything to harm this prince." ”
Xiao Lizi said with a hippie smile: "That is, the minions' courage is smaller than the eye of a needle, not to mention that the minions can only eat and drink spicy food with the three princes, and the minions will not do anything to be sorry for the three princes." ”
"Well, I don't have any other skills, and no one can compare to the sycophants. By the way, has the prince been doing anything lately?"
Xiao Lizi also became serious when he heard the mention of business.
"The third prince, our people came back to report that the prince was no different from usual, and he was in the study every day, and the imperial doctor would also check the pulse from time to time. ”
After hearing this, Xiao Lin frowned, it shouldn't be! Since the crown prince has taken a fancy to Liu Ruoxi, he should have the next move, could it be that this prince has misunderstood? The prince did not mean that to Liu Ruoxi.
"Then have any of the people in his palace ever been out of the palace, or have they ever been to Dingguo Mansion?"
Xiao Lizi thought for a moment and shook his head, "The person who came back to report said that everything was normal, and the prince did not order people to go out of the palace to do business." ”
Xiao Lin nodded, "This prince knows, the prince can't relax." ”
"Yes. ”
Xiao Lin waved his hand, "Go down." ”
Xiao Lizi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Lin let himself go so easily.
The atmosphere in the East Palace was a little depressing, the queen was in a bad mood for the past two days, and the palace maids and eunuchs didn't even dare to pant loudly, for fear of making the queen unhappy and causing trouble.
Mama Wang looked at the queen worriedly, "Niangniang, don't think about it so much, the emperor may have something to do, it's not what you think." ”
The queen sneered, "Mama, don't comfort me, what else can he do except go to see that vixen, he has disappeared for more than ten years, and I didn't expect to seduce the emperor when I come back." ”
Mama Wang was shocked when she heard this, and looked at the palace maids who were standing on the side, making them retreat.
Mama Wang saw that there was no one, so she persuaded in a low voice: "Niangniang, you can talk to the old slave about it, don't say it to outsiders in the future, be careful that the wall has ears." ”
"Mama I can't worry so much now, you said that I paid so much for him, why can't he see me at all, now that I know that the vixen is back, I can't help but go to see her, is that still going to bring her back to be my place?"
Mama Wang looked out worriedly and found that the door was closed.
"Niangniang, what are you talking about? You are the queen, you will always be the queen. No one can change this. ”
The queen smiled bitterly, "Queen, who treats me as a queen, that slut is gone, but within a few days, she Yang Wan'er took the position of a virtuous concubine, and no matter how hard I tried, it was useless." ”
Mama Wang looked at the queen mother in pain, and her heart hurt as much as a needle prick.
"Niangniang, are you really in love with the emperor?"
"Love? maybe, if it weren't for him, I would be very happy now, Zhao Ning might be very happy, it was because of him that I was forced into the palace by my father, I hate him, I hate him for ruining my life, I hate him for making me live as a widow in the palace. ”
Mama Wang has always been Zhao Ning's personal grandmother, knowing how reluctant she is to marry the emperor, maybe she has feelings for hatred and hatred later, but how can a person who sits in that high position be alone.
"Niangniang, the old slave knows the bitterness in your heart, you don't think about it for you now, but you have to think about Princess Hui'er. ”
"Hui'er, my poor child, being born in the emperor's family is the saddest thing for her. ”
At this time, someone knocked on the door outside the door, "Queen Mother, Mrs. Lin Zhihe and Mrs. Lin ask to see you." ”
When the queen heard this, she glanced at Mama Wang in shock, "Mama, what did she just say about Mrs. Lin Zhihe?"
Mama Wang nodded, "Yes." ”
Queen Zhao Ning's heart was in a mess, why did she come? Didn't she say before that she would not communicate with old and dead? Why did she come to see me today?
"Niangniang, you haven't talked much for so many years, why don't you meet her?"
The queen wiped her tears, "What Mama said, take her in." ”
After Mama Wang sorted out Zhao Ning's appearance, she went to open the door.
"Mrs. Lin, the emperor is invited. ”
Lin thought about it for a long time and felt the need to come to see Zhao Ning, and entered the palace with a nervous mood.
Empress Zhao Ning sat on a chair carved by auspicious clouds made of pear blossom wood and looked at the Lin family calmly.
Lin walked into the blessed body. "The courtiers pay a visit to the queen. ”
"Get up, I don't know what Mrs. Lin is asking to see today?"
Lin pinched the handkerchief in his hand and said hesitantly: "Can the queen let the people around her step down, the courtiers have something to say." ”
The emperor waved her hand, and the palace maid and Mama Wang who came in together withdrew.
