Chapter 384: The Chosen Son (Fourth Watch)
The huge dormitory was deserted.
Situ Xingji walked in slowly, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty room, inexplicably cold.
The ground was littered with smashed artifacts.
Situ Xingchen walked around expressionlessly, walked straight inside, and finally saw the queen in the innermost part of the room.
She was wearing messy and dirty palace clothes, and it looked like she hadn't changed her clothes for a few days, and some dark red blood stains could be faintly seen.
Her face was very pale, her lips were chapped, her eyes were glazed, and she was curled up in a ball, nestled in the corner of the bed, motionless.
Suddenly, I saw that she was silent.
Obviously, in these few short days, the queen has also experienced a lot of torture.
Situ Xingchen walked over step by step, and finally stood in front of the queen's bed, with his usual gentle smile on his face:
"Queen Mother, I've come to see you. β
The queen didn't seem to hear it, and she didn't react at all.
Situ Xingchen didn't care, leaned down slightly, and got closer.
"Actuallyβ"
The next moment, however, she smelled the unpleasant, almost suffocating smell of the queen.
A look of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she took a letter from her sleeve and handed it over.
"Queen Mother, today His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to come and see you. Here's a letter he wrote to you, take a look. β
After speaking, he straightened up quietly.
She really wanted to get out of this filthy place right away if she could, but she hadn't forgotten the purpose of her visit.
It's not easy to get in, and she has to take the chance.
Hearing the word "prince", the queen's eyes rolled sluggishly, and she finally regained some consciousness.
She raised her head slowly, her deeply sunken eyes bloodshot, full of despair and resentment, faintly, with a hint of madness.
Situ Xingchen almost subconsciously took half a step back.
The queen looks like this... It's scary...
The queen suddenly let out a vague sneer between her lips and teeth, as if she was laughing at Situ Xingchen, and as if she was laughing at herself.
Without looking in the mirror, she also knows what she looks like now.
"You... How did you get in?"
The queen asked in a hoarse voice, as if something was dragging over the gravel, grinding a stinging eardrum.
Situ Xingchen calmed himself down and explained in a low voice:
"His Highness lent me his token. β
As the crown prince, Rong Jin has a token that is somewhat similar to Emperor Jiawen.
He changed the token, and it was nine points similar.
Except for those who often see these two tokens, everyone else can't be separated at first glance.
This is why Situ Xingchen was able to come in smoothly.
The queen was a little convinced, and picked up the letter.
However, as soon as she read two lines, she suddenly clutched the letter into a ball and threw it in Situ Xingchen's face!
"Slut!
Situ Xingchen didn't expect the queen to have a sudden seizure, and he was stunned for a while.
It didn't hurt to smash the paper ball on her face, but it was a great humiliation for her.
She picked up the paper ball, and the smile on her face faded considerably.
"Queen Mother, what are you doing here? I was kind enough to help you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but you treated me like this?"
"Slut!, you don't know what you're thinking when you're in the palace!?"
The queen's face turned red, and she pointed at Situ Xingchen's nose and scolded.
"Rong Jin can't see your thoughts, can't you see it when you are in this palace!? No wonder you haven't broken the marriage contract yet, just to pry him from this palace! This palace tells you - you don't want to!"
Although she is now down, and she will even be executed at any time, it doesn't mean that she is stupid!
When she looked at Situ Xingchen before, she felt that this woman's mind was not pure, and she was not at all what she looked like on the surface.
Now it seems that it is so!
The smile on Situ Xingchen's face completely dissipated, and he clenched the paper ball in his hand.
It was Rong Jin's handwritten letter, and it was written under her hint, of course she knew what was written on it.
The gist of it is that Rong Jin couldn't go out because he was under house arrest, so he asked Situ Xingchen to do it for him and come to visit the queen. Moreover, he also asked the queen to tell Situ Xingchen the secret of Qijiao Alley, and then she relayed it to him.
Rong Jin believes that only by knowing what all this is going on can he really come up with a way to solve the dilemma in front of him.
When the queen saw this, what else didn't she understand?
Situ Xingchen originally had nothing to do with this matter, but now he is busy, how can it be that there is no intention?
"Queen Mother, you probably misunderstood, Xingchen didn't mean that. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is your own son, if you refuse to trust him, then this situation is unsolvable?"
"Get out!"
The queen shouted hysterically.
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't move half of her body now, she would have stepped forward directly to beat this slut!
Situ Xingchen's eyes fell on her lap, he vaguely guessed something, and said with a disappointed expression:
"I thought that you loved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the most, but I didn't expect that now, I couldn't bear to watch him fall into a desperate situation... Since you insist on thinking so, then I can't help it. β
As she spoke, she turned away without any care.
As soon as he took a few steps, the queen's voice came from behind him:
"What did you just say!?"
The corners of Situ Xingchen's mouth twitched, and a smug look crossed his eyes.
But when he turned around, his expression had returned to his original state.
She sighed and said:
"You have been trapped in the palace for the past few days, and you probably don't know that Your Majesty has planned to abolish the crown prince and appoint three highnesses as the crown prince. β
The queen was shocked: "Impossible!"
"I know you don't trust me, but now there's no other way. If you don't believe it, you can ask the people in your palace if they have all been arrested and interrogated by His Royal Highness. Why would Your Majesty leave such a matter to His Royal Highness, can't you still guess?"
Situ Xingchen's voice was always gentle, but at this time, in the queen's ears, it was like a cold poisonous snake slowly crawling into her heart!
Her lips trembled violently, and soon, her whole body trembled.
"No... No, Rong Zhen is the crown prince! Rong Zhen is the only prince!"
Looking at the queen's reaction, a trace of doubt flashed in Situ Xingchen's heart.
Why did she care so much about this...
"This palace is going to find Your Majesty! He can't make someone else the crown prince!"
The queen screamed, and fell out of bed.
"Only Rong Jin... It has to be Rong Jin!"
Situ Xingchen suddenly realized something, and deliberately said:
"His Royal Highness has outstanding ability, and he is the crown prince, and he is also obedient to the public..."
"You know what!"
The queen had a hideous face and shouted sharply.
"What kind of thing is Rong Jiu?!Rong Jin is the chosen son! Except for him, no one deserves to sit on the throne of the crown prince!"
