A few days later, the eldest prince Qi Huan really came to the palace to visit the mother concubine Gongsun, and also came to see the son who was fostered by the mother's concubine.

Concubine Xian asked: "The emperor also knows about that matter, and he hinted at it with the queen mother a few days ago, what do you think you need for a concubine?" ”

The eldest prince smiled slightly: "The mother concubine doesn't need to worry for the time being, just this one thing is enough for the queen and the second prince to be anxious." ”

"The mother really didn't expect this to be such a situation." Concubine Xian Gongsun was still very surprised by the matter of the second prince.

The eldest prince said: "Mother, this is God's help, the second prince has faintly restored his position in his father's heart over the years, and his son is worried, who would have thought that he would give his son an adult favor, hehe, if the son does not use it, wouldn't he be sorry for the second emperor's brother." ”

Concubine Xian hesitated a little and said, "Son, but the mother always feels unsteady in her heart." ”

"What is the mother on your beware?" The eldest prince asked.

"You said that since you can't hide this from your father, then naturally you can't hide it from King Shen, but why didn't King Shen react for a long time, do you think there will be another conspiracy?" Concubine Xian said that she was worried.

"The concubine means that this matter may have been deliberately arranged by King Shen?" The eldest prince confirmed.

"It's hard to say." Concubine Xian sighed.

"It's unlikely, Uncle Shen is a quiet person, and Murong Heqi is his only son, he won't take such a big risk, and Princess Murong won't allow this kind of thing to happen, if it is said on purpose, the son is really hard to believe." The eldest prince pondered.

"This matter is indeed a bit sudden, and your grandfather is also secretly inquiring, although the feelings between the two of them are extraordinary, but there is some conclusive evidence in the end, and it is difficult to catch them all." Concubine Xian frowned.

"Mother, you always know that the slanderous power of this gossip is more powerful than direct killing. As long as this matter spreads slowly, the reputation of the second emperor's younger brother should be stinky, and even if the father wants to be partial, it will be powerless. "The eldest prince is a little proud.

"That being said. But you still have to be careful, after all, this is still related to your father's face and even the royal family, you can't be too conspicuous, you have to be measured. "Concubine Xian is still cautious in the end.

"Don't worry, the concubine, the son naturally knows." The eldest prince smiled and talked about other things.

The virtuous concubine and the eldest prince had a good conversation. At this time, the queen finally found a chance to chat with her son Huanwei.

At first, the queen was just chattering, asking the second prince how his life was recently, and the second prince also replied with a smile.

The atmosphere was also good, but when it came to the end, the queen couldn't help but ask: "Wei'er, the queen mother has something to ask, you have to reply to me truthfully, don't hide it at all." Luckily? ”

The second prince was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "What does the mother want to ask, why is she sitting so upright?" ”

The queen took the second prince's hand and said, "Son, the concubine just wants to ask you, have you been very close to Uncle Shen's He Qi recently?" ”

The queen's words were still very subtle, but Rao was like this, before her words fell, the second prince's face changed and changed, and the corners of his mouth drooped.

When the queen saw that her son's face was wrong, she was even more worried and said, "Wei'er, you ...... The queen mother is only worried about ......"

"Queen Mother, have you heard of anything?" The second prince was not too angry. Just Pingping asked.

The queen was a little embarrassed: "It was your father who heard something, so he came to the queen mother to ask, but the queen mother really didn't know much, so she ......"

"Just want to ask my son?" The second prince took the queen's words.

"Yes." The queen nodded.

"What did the queen mother hear her father mention?" The second prince asked calmly.

"This ......" Queen is really a little difficult to speak.

"The Queen Mother. You better tell the truth, my son can stand it. The second prince patted the queen's hand.

The queen took a deep breath and said, "Your father heard that you and Murong Heqi have an extraordinary affection, and the outside world ...... It has been rumored that the two of you have the good of Longyang and the habit of breaking your sleeves, and your father is very annoyed, but he is even more embarrassed. Although I don't confirm it, I am worried about you, so I want to come to the queen mother to ask about the situation, but this is the first time the queen mother has heard of it, and it is really more surprised than your father. ”

"Hehe, the queen mother also believes?" The second prince was calmer.

"I naturally don't believe in my mother, but I naturally know my son, if you really have such a habit, why do you want to marry a wife." Queen's Road.

"Then why is the queen mother still worried?" The second prince hit the nail on the head and exposed the queen's lies.

"This ......" The queen hesitated for a moment before saying: "But this matter is asked by your father and the emperor himself, what can the queen mother do if she is not worried, you must know that your father has always been a very strict person, and if it can come out of his mouth, it will naturally not be fake, so the queen mother wants to ask you if there is really such a thing?" ”

"The queen mother, the son is indeed very close to Uncle Shen's younger brother He Qi, but he is just a younger brother of the son's Uncle Wang's family, but because he is weak and often enters the palace to visit the emperor's grandmother, the son sees him to be filial, so he occasionally takes care of him a little, after all, what is the condition of his body and bones, the queen mother also knows." The second prince said it so lightly, it seems normal.

But the queen is really puzzled in her heart, she knows that if it is not true, the emperor's temperament will not be rashly mentioned, and it is still a point, she doesn't know, if there is really such a thing, then it will inevitably be used, and once this kind of thing spreads, she and Wei'er, the Liu family, and the royal family will have no face, especially Wei'er, I am afraid that the future will be ruined from now on, for this reason, the queen will be worried.

Thinking of this, the queen continued: "Wei'er, are you just because of your care for your brother as an elder brother? ”

"Yes, of course." The second prince raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Then why is there such a big misunderstanding?" The queen asked.

"Queen Mother, this misunderstanding must be caused by man-made, and it is indispensable for someone with a heart to catch the wind and secretly push it, otherwise it would not have reached the ears of my father alone." The second prince explained.

"You mean someone did it on purpose?" Queen's Road.

"Ten of you." The second prince was reluctant to say more.

"But as the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, if you really have nothing to do with He Qi's child, why is this thing so true?" The queen still didn't believe it.

"Queen Mother, my son really has a clear conscience, maybe it's because He Qi looks more feminine than ordinary men, so it will make outsiders think of Longyang's goodness, but the son is only a little concerned about him, and there is nothing wrong with cousins caring for each other." The second prince said.

"Yes, it is normal for cousins to care for each other, but have you ever heard such words between cousins?" The queen asked.

"If you want to catch the wind and shadows outside, what can my son do, is it blocked one by one!" The second prince was also a little angry.

"You, there's a better way now." The queen suddenly changed her words.

The second prince looked puzzled and said, "What way?" ”

The queen said: "Let the Chen family be pregnant, as long as she is pregnant, this rumor will naturally be self-defeating." ”

The second prince sighed: "Queen Mother, my son and the Chen family have been working hard in the past few years, but there is no sign of it, how can it be said that there is one?" ”

"Then if you haven't seen your heirs for a long time, don't you want outsiders to confirm your habit of breaking sleeves!" The queen was furious.

"The Queen Mother! My son has explained, no, no, you don't believe it, you don't want to think about it, if your son really has this kind of relationship with He Qi, is Uncle Shen a fool? Would he have watched his only son be so unbearable? The second prince asked rhetorically.

Not to mention, the second prince said these words, and only this sentence really entered the queen's heart, and she also thought about it, yes, since the emperor can know about this matter, then King Shen's ten ** is also clear, so why is there no movement, maybe there is no such thing.

Thinking of this, the queen's face was a little better, she collected the anger on her face, and softened her voice: "Wei'er, the queen mother is naturally willing to believe that this matter is false, but the more this word spreads, the more crazy it becomes, you are the son-in-law, and the most powerful heir to the throne in the future, but if something unpleasant happens, your future will be hurt, and the queen mother is also worried about you." ”

"Queen Mother...... Your worried son understands it, and his son will also pay attention to this matter, since his father has paid attention, then he will naturally investigate this matter thoroughly, you can rest assured, it will be fine. The second prince comforted.

"That's good, your imperial grandmother is also worried, in this case, then the queen mother will rest assured, your imperial grandmother, the queen mother will also explain in person, as for the outside affairs, you have to be careful." The queen reminded.

"My son naturally understands." The second prince smiled slightly.

"That's good, that's good." The queen's heart seemed to settle down a little.

The second prince smiled and said: "If the queen mother has nothing else to do, the son will have to go back, and there are still some things to deal with in the yamen." ”

As soon as the queen heard that her son still had official business, she smiled and said: "Go, go, the queen mother is also bothering you, go quickly, don't delay the business." ”

The second prince smiled, saluted the queen and withdrew.

After leaving the palace gate, the second prince got into the carriage, and the entourage immediately whispered: "Second prince, the prince of Prince Shen's family has been waiting for you in the other courtyard for a long time. ”

When the second prince heard this, he smiled and said, "Someone has come to pass the word?" ”

"Exactly, that person left, saying that the little master has arrived for some hours, please the second prince rush over immediately after this is over, master, you see ......" the little guy asked.

"Okay, then let's ...... first Let's go back to the house first, change my clothes, and then go after meeting my wife. The second prince immediately commanded.

The little guy smiled and said, "I will listen to the orders of the master, then please sit down well, and then set off." ”

After the words fell, the second prince sat down, and the carriage galloped away...... (To be continued.) )
