Chapter 41: Licking the Calf Deeply

As soon as Lord Chenliu's waist card came out, the left and right guards gave way, and even at such a critical moment, her entry and exit from the palace gate were unimpeded. "Words * love * first * hair

Entered the palace gate, changed the shoulder, the front section was fine, when I got to the corner, I saw the shoulder to the right, Qin Zhen did not show it on his face, but he was surprised in his heart, but he didn't expect the shoulder to carry her to the Xiande Palace.

The place where the saint lives is called the Taiji Palace, which is the core building in the Taiji Palace. It stands to reason that even if the saint doesn't see her in the Taiji Palace, there are still Liangyi Hall and Ganlu Hall to choose from, how can he go to the East Palace?

Thinking of the sage's reaction after the prince committed suicide, Qin Zhen sighed softly.

I see...... She was more sure about it.

Shoulders slowly fell in front of the Xiande Hall of the main hall of the East Palace, Qin Zhen took the hand of the personal maid Yuping, walked up the familiar steps, and saw a kind eyebrow and kind eyes, looking extremely amiable The servant greeted him, and said respectfully: "The slave has seen the county master." ”

This person's surname is Kuang, a single name is a Min character, he has served the saint since he was ten years old, and now he has been an official and an inner prison, and if he is placed in the court, he is also a member of the three grades.

Qin Zhen naturally didn't dare to slack off on the most powerful chamberlain in front of the saint, not to mention that the saint entered the Xiande Hall alone, and even Kuang Min couldn't follow him, which had already revealed too many signals to Qin Zhen. Therefore, she nodded politely, and her attitude was very gentle: "Kuang Neijian." ”

Since the crown prince committed the crime, in addition to the routine court and interrogation of the prince's rebellion, the rest of the time is in this Xiande Palace, eating very little, and refusing to see outsiders. Others were afraid of touching the saint's mold, and the princess did not dare to ask again after asking once, when the lord of Chen Liujun went to the book, everyone thought she was going through the motions, but the saint made an exception for this niece.

How else can it be said that it is father, son, grandchildren, and grandchildren, in the same lineage? Emperor Taizu is a concubine, Emperor Taizong is a concubine, and when he comes to the sage, even if it is a niece of a concubine, it is more preferential than a concubine, not to mention that the lord of Chen Liujun has been raised by Empress Mu for a few years?

Kuang Min has followed the saint for many years, and knows the sage's intentions best, and he has been worried about this time, seeing that the person who can comfort the saint is coming, he has to sell it well, so he whispered: "County lord, the saint only sees you." ”

Qin Zhen knew Kuang Min's intentions, and after thanking him, he pushed open the door of the Hall of Virtue.

Here, she has laughed and shed tears.

She remembers the days when she played with her three brothers; I also remember the situation when my biological father spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, my biological mother hugged her and cried, and the three brothers passed away one by one; I remember how trembling she was after the owner of the Xiande Hall changed hands, walking on thin ice.

Qin Zhen walked slowly and walked to the study.

The once heroic and heroic emperor is now gray, no longer handsome, and his hands full of ravines tremble and hold the yellowed pages, wanting to turn a page, but his hands seem to weigh a thousand pounds.

Hearing Qin Zhen's deliberately heavy footsteps, the sage raised his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Zhen'er, you are here." ”

In an instant, tears filled Qin Zhen's eyes.

When she remembered, the saint had gone to Jiangnan, and when the saint was removed from the position of governor of Jiangnan, the conflict between her father and the two brothers of the saint had been made public. She had heard her father's staff cursing King Qin more than once, and she wondered how her second uncle was born with three heads and six arms, so that her father, who was like a god to her mother and brother, could show fatigue and frustration? But she never dreamed that what she would see would be a handsome man who laughed and the sky was clear, unscrupulously picked her up and threw her into the sky, and brought her a lot of things that little girls liked to play well.

Princess Guangning's stirring up made Qin Zhen unable to understand the true meaning of the word "father", but ...... Even if she is under the fence and her mood is different, the saint's kindness to her is true. For Qin Zhen, the second uncle and father are really not bad.

After so many years, the saint, no, the second uncle, he is actually old.

The sourness surged into Qin Zhen's heart, she forgot her feelings, lost her sense of proportion, and blurted out: "Second uncle, you-" When the words came to her mouth, she changed her mouth and choked up, "You have lost weight." ”

"Second Uncle......" The saint looked at his niece's face lovingly and sighed, "To this day, only you still remember that I am your second uncle." ”

Qin Zhen's tears couldn't be restrained, and they rolled down like beads.

Ninth cousin, why are you so stupid, others say that there is no father and son in the heavenly family, do you really believe it? Over the years, has the second uncle really suppressed you, has he really tabooed you, and may have really cut off your arm? You all think that you should first be a monarch and a minister, and then a father and a son. Maybe many emperors are like this, but the second uncle is really different!

Seeing this, the sage shook his head and said helplessly: "The person who has already been a grandmother is still so stupid." Speaking of this, his heart throbbed again, "Ruo Zuo'er is like you, and has been ...... How nice it would be! He didn't listen to me, I couldn't control him, I wanted to stimulate him to be motivated, who would...... He didn't even have a child left! ”

The crown prince was born to Queen Mu in middle age, and his physique was extremely weak, and the sage was afraid that his concubine would not be able to support him, so he didn't even dare to give him a name, let alone discipline him harshly. When the prince was ten years old and could bear the blessings, the sage immediately made him the prince and gave him the name "Zuo".

The national glory stretches, which shows the depth of love.

It's a pity that due to the consistent doting of the saint and Queen Mu, the prince's character has become a very difficult to change. Things have come to this point, sage...... I had a hunch, but I just couldn't believe it.

When it came to this, Qin Zhen had already guessed what the sage meant.

Although the prince was a rebel, the sage did not want to announce this fact to the public, but only wanted to say that the prince died of a violent illness. In this way, the prince is still the prince, Queen Mu is still Queen Mu, innocent, and her reputation is undamaged, and their family of three can reunite underground after a hundred years. But the courtiers will not be willing, and the kings will not be willing, none of these people want to make a conclusion about the prince's crime, and it would be better if they could wipe out the Mu family. In this way, no matter who succeeds to the throne, there will be no aftermath on the question of whether the crown prince will succeed him.

Even the saint himself is not very firm, right? After all, the prince is forcing the palace, and it is a certainty.

"A year ago, my niece customized clothes for Ying'er, but a belt was mixed into the ready-to-wear clothes she sent." Qin Zhen took out a gold-painted phoenix, gorgeous clothing belt, respectfully presented it to the table, and said lightly, "Since then, when my niece enters and leaves the mansion, there are always people sneakily following, and there have been several thieves in the garden. ”

The sage knew that Qin Zhen would not be untargeted, so he took the cut clothes belt, spread it out, and the moment he saw the font, he showed a little disbelief: "Ke, Ke'er? ”

Qin Ke and Pei Xi both wrote well, the former was euphemistic and subtle, and the latter was strange and vigorous, but others couldn't imitate it no matter how much they imitated it, so the sage didn't think about the possibility of this letter being faked at all, and looked at it directly, and his face had become iron-blue.

He never imagined that his eldest son had been assassinated three years earlier, but at that time, Ke's daughter-in-law was still pregnant. He didn't expect that with Pei Xi's ability, the letter sent to Chang'an and the letter sent to Luoyang Pei's family was actually unexpectedly unheard.

Two and a half years, nearly a thousand days and nights, what mood is the eldest son waiting for, waiting for his father's tolerance?

Even from beginning to end, Qin Ke, the eldest son of the emperor, did nothing wrong.

After a short period of emotional turmoil, the sage with a good memory looked at his niece: "I remember, on last year's Halloween, your horse was frightened? ”

Qin Zhen replied with a low "yes", without saying a word, how thrilling it was at that time.

The sage knew Qin Zhen's embarrassment and distress, and if it was him, it was impossible for him to enter the palace immediately after getting the letter to explain the matter. If one is not careful, not only will he not be able to help Qin Ke, but he will startle the snake.

The relationship between Qin Zhen and Qin Ke, the two cousins and brothers, has always been very good, not because of any political investment, but because of the same illness. The saint also knew this. He was already very humane, but now that he had lost his beloved son, and knew that this matter was likely to be calculated by others, he suppressed his anger and said warmly: "Zhen'er, your second son and Ying'er are both older, if you have a title, the marriage will look better." Living in the garden all day long, it is deserted, and it is not like a thing. ”

Facing the kindness of the saint, Qin Zhen shook his head and politely declined: "Fangjingyuan is quiet and comfortable, my niece has lived for ten years, and she can't leave it for a long time!" ”

Seeing that she was so persistent, the saint's heart became even more guilty, and he sighed: "That is the case, if you fancy anyone, come to me, and I will make an order for Ying'er." ”

This time, Qin Zhen did not refuse.

"After Ying'er leaves the pavilion, if you feel lonely, go find a few companions!" Seeing this, the sage became more and more regretful, and said softly, "You have suffered enough over the years, you don't need to wronged yourself anymore and make a virtuous reputation." ”

Qin Zhen never thought that the saint would be able to say such words to encourage her to find a male favorite, her heart warmed, and she almost burst into tears again: "My niece is not bitter, she is really not bitter." ”

The saint shook his head and said no more.

How can it not be bitter? She refused the title she had given her, which aroused the resentment of her second son; The eldest son had the heart to honor his mother, but when he saw his younger brother's colorful clothes and entertaining relatives, he was afraid that the title would be passed on to his younger brother instead of his own, so he hurriedly shared his heart with Gao Heng. obviously gave birth to two sons and a daughter, but the only one who is really caring is the youngest daughter Gao Ying.

Zhen'er has been this stubborn son since she was a child, and she would rather be separated from her son than ask for a title for her son, staging a hypocritical mother's filial piety.

"The thing that my niece regrets the most is that she is not angry, and after the eldest son was born, she asked her mother-in-law to take him away." Seeing that the sage showed a little sadness, Qin Zhen sighed, "In the end, there are two sons and one daughter, only Ying'er, who grows up by his side, is the most intimate. ”

Grow by your side...... Three years ago...... Duke Wucheng died of illness, the prince's guests were involved, Pei Xi went to Pengze, and Ke'er was assassinated on the same day......

Don't say that at that time, even now, he has never moved the idea of abolishing the prince, why is Zuo'er so uneasy?

The sage clenched the belt of his hand, looked at Qin Zhen, and said warmly: "Zhen'er, is there your old friend in this Hall of Virtue?" ”
