Like a ghost, a black shadow hurried into the main hall, and then went to the back hall of the Buddha. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Mother, you're back."

The voice was immature, but it was a seven or eight-year-old child, it was the fourth prince, he had been waiting for Concubine Su to return in the Buddhist hall, as soon as he saw Concubine Su come in, he saw that her whole body was trembling, so his face changed, he hurriedly stood up, walked to Concubine Su's side, stretched out his little hand to hold Concubine Su's big hand, comforted Concubine Su, and calmed her down.

At this time, the fourth prince did not have the lively appearance of winning a few taels of silver in front of the leaf card and shouting happily, he was very calm, even if he was only seven years old, he led Concubine Su to sit down, poured a cup of hot tea, and served it to Concubine Su.

Concubine Su trembled and drank hot tea, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, which was considered to calm down. she

I opened my eyes again, looked at my seven-year-old son in front of me, my eyes were filled with tears, I turned my head, covered my mouth with my right hand, and wept silently.

Xiao Shan patted Concubine Su's left hand, and did not open his mouth to comfort, turned around and moved a chair and placed it opposite Concubine Su, and then he and Concubine Su sat face to face, silently looking at Concubine Su who was crying bitterly.

After a long time, Concubine Su stopped crying and sobbed slightly, and Xiao Shan asked her, "Mother, what happened when you went to Zhaoyang Palace?" Why do you cry so hard when you come back? ”

It's okay if he doesn't mention it, as soon as he said that Concubine Su covered her mouth again, and there was a tendency to continue crying, Concubine Su blinked, and the tears that were about to flow out were held back, she patted her undulating heart with her hand, and then replied to Xiao Shan with red eyes, "Shan'er, the concubine said that your eldest brother was poisoned by the Queen Mother......"

Then, Concubine Su repeated the affairs of Zhaoyang Palace and what the concubine said, and finally she asked, "Shan'er, you can't believe what you said about the concubine, the concubine's mind is in chaos now, and her heart is also chaotic, so she can only ask Shan'er." ”

Xiao Shan solemnized his face and fell into deep thought, the concubine wanted to form an alliance with Concubine Su, Xiao Shan also guessed, but what he didn't expect was that the concubine also told such a big secret back then, he thought about the eldest brother who had never met and died, thinking about Concubine Su's forbearance and self-torture for more than ten years, and then thinking about the concubine's words, for a long time, he considered it before he spoke, "With the current situation of the concubine, you should be eager to cooperate with the concubine, and you shouldn't tell lies." ”

"Is that true?"

Xiao Shan acquiesced, Concubine Su immediately leaned back on the chair again, looked at the void sluggishly, wept silently, and kept chattering, "God, what did I do wrong, to punish me like this, to let me happily send my son to die and not know it, why is she so ruthless, that is her first grandson, how can Your Majesty be so ignorant of my mother and son, the queen's slut, smiling and watching my son die, she will be punished, they will all be retributed......"

Concubine Su muttered and cursed. Xiao Shan next to him got up and shook her, "Mother, mother." ”

Seeing that Concubine Su couldn't wake up, it was good to vent it like this, so as not to suffocate his illness, so he sat down again, thinking in his heart.

The concubine should not be lying, it is indeed the hand of the queen mother, the queen must have known at that time, the purpose is to pave the way for the queen's soon-to-be-born child in addition to the eldest prince, no matter whether the queen is pregnant with a man or a woman, it is advantageous to have no eldest son, it is a man, it is natural to add to the eldest son, it is a woman, it doesn't matter, regeneration is, there is no pressure without the eldest son. As for what the concubine said from the smell of the drug found that the queen mother was poisoned, Xiao Shan sneered, he didn't believe it, if it smelled out, the queen mother would not use it, he thought of the Murong family, when Emperor Qingping had just ascended the throne, and the Murong family was the strongest, the Murong family must have its own power in the palace, they found out that the queen mother was poisoned and then told the concubine, at that time, the concubine also wanted to watch the eldest prince die, and may also fantasize that the queen had a miscarriage, or gave birth to a princess, and she herself was pregnant and gave birth to the dream of the eldest son.

Under the candlelight at night, the seven-year-old child was thinking about these complicated palace fights, if Xiao Ping saw this scene, he would definitely be ashamed, people are the real talents and demons, and he is just God's love, and he is open.

The Pingqing Palace is not peaceful, and the Zhaoyang Palace is also not peaceful.

Late at night, a figure sneaked into Xiao Ping's dormitory while the eunuch and palace maid guarding the palace door were squinting and yawning, her voice was very soft, for fear of waking up the night watchman, tiptoeing, in the dark night, touched Xiao Ping's bed.

She looked back at the screen sleeping on the top, and was relieved to see that she was asleep and had no sign of waking up.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." She nudged Xiao Ping and called softly.

Xiao Ping opened his eyes instantly, calm and solemn, he swept over coldly, and the person who came was so frightened that he withdrew his hand.

"Your Highness, it's a slave, Aunt Pei." Seeing that Xiao Ping didn't make a sound, he said cautiously.

Xiao Ping relaxed his body at this time, and his eyes softened a lot, since he saw many dead people in the palace, Xiao Ping was always vigilant, for fear that he would be silenced at some point.

"Why didn't Aunt Pei rest late at night and came to me?" He also deliberately lowered his voice, so as not to wake up the sleeping screen.

Aunt Pei rubbed her hands, lowered her voice and said urgently, "The slave maid came to His Highness late at night to tell His Highness his life experience. ”

Aunt Pei was about to continue, but Xiao Ping stopped with his hand, "I know what my aunt is going to say, and I also know what my aunt wants to persuade His Royal Highness, but now that I don't rely on the concubine, who else can I rely on?" ”

Aunt Pei was incredulous and her eyes widened, "How does Your Highness know?" ”

"Yes, Airo." At this time, Ping'er muttered a sentence, Aunt Pei was startled, turned her head to look at Ping'er who was talking in her dream, heard her words clearly, and couldn't help but snort, "Shameless." ”

But Xiao Ping rolled his eyes, pointed at Aunt Pei and explained to Ping'er, "I heard Ping'er talking in her dreams, I knew a month ago that I was not the biological son of the concubine, but for the favor and blessing of the concubine, I can only pretend not to know." ”

"But Your Highness, this time the concubine herself is difficult to protect?" Aunt Pei said urgently.

"Aunt, my father personally said that I am the son of a concubine, if I don't rely on the concubine, who else can I rely on?" Xiao Ping asked rhetorically, and suddenly Aunt Pei choked and didn't speak for a long time.

"Your Highness is so smart, Concubine Li must be bless Your Highness below." Aunt Pei's eyes were slightly red, and she spoke again in a low voice.

Xiao Ping smiled slightly, "Go, Aunt Pei, go back, don't be found out and hurt yourself, Your Highness still needs you to take care of it." ”

Aunt Pei reluctantly glanced at him, turned around sharply, melted into the night, and secretly left the dormitory.

Xiao Ping's heart warmed slightly, shook his head and smiled, there is still a person who is willing to risk death for himself, this feeling is really good.

The next day, dawn, Xiao Ping still jumped and went to the concubine, the concubine was still embroidering slowly, Pingqing Palace, Xiao Shan went to the study with a lively smile, Concubine Su was still thundering and beating in the Buddhist hall, reciting Buddhist scriptures, everything was as usual, as if there was no dark tide last night.
