The third prince's face changed slightly.

The palace maid and eunuch in the palace retreated, leaving only the female official to serve aside.

Empress Gu got up, walked in front of the three princes, looked down at the three princes condescendingly, and the corners of her lips hooked up a mocking arc: "Why do you think that this palace still has scruples about you?" Why do you think that this palace must let Concubine Zheng go? The heart of this palace is not broad at all, on the contrary, the heart of this palace is narrow-minded, and the baht must be compared! Never be soft on your enemies! ”

She and Concubine Zheng have had a grudge for a long time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are mortal enemies. Since he can gain the upper hand, why should he let Zheng Guifei go?

The third prince's heart sank.

Although the emperor can protect Concubine Zheng's life, the dignified son of heaven will never go, and may stay in the harem every day. If he can't convince Empress Gu today, then Concubine Zheng's life in the palace will never be easy in the future......

Empress Gu's perceptive sharp gaze landed on the face of the third prince fixedly.

The third prince took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Father Emperor Long is sick, and he hasn't improved much after recuperating for so long. Looking at this posture, maybe it will soon be passed to the imperial brother. Erchen was far away in the domain at that time, and probably didn't have the opportunity to witness such a grand event. ”

These words are undoubtedly a promise to Queen Gu that she will never return to the capital from now on!

Empress Gu's eyes flashed: "Are you really not going back to the capital again?" "I have to say that the words of the third prince are indeed in the queen's mind. What she has the most scruple about is that after the crown prince ascended the throne, the three princes still did not stop being restless.

The third prince nodded without hesitation: "Yes, say something rebellious." Unless my father or mother returns to heaven, I will not return to the capital. With a mother concubine in the palace, the sons will never act rashly. What else is there to worry about? ”

Empress Gu was finally moved, thought about it, and finally opened her mouth to promise: "Okay, this palace promises you that I will take good care of Concubine Zheng." ”

The third prince tugged at the corners of his lips, and added lightly: "I hope that the queen mother will be good at what she says and take care of her mother and concubine wholeheartedly." If there is anything wrong with the concubine. I'm sad and impulsive, and it's possible to do anything irrational. ”

The faint threat in the words made the smile on Queen Gu's face disappear suddenly.

The third prince turned a blind eye to her ugly face, and knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times. Then get up and leave. His back was straight, and he didn't look back from beginning to end.

Empress Gu silently watched the figure of the third prince go away, and the expression on her face gradually relaxed. Then he let out a long sigh of relief. exchanging the peace of Concubine Zheng for the willing exit of the three princes is actually a very cost-effective deal.

In this battle for the throne, in the end, the crown prince has become the winner!

……

The prince pressed his temperament, and finally waited for the news that the third prince had left the palace and left Beijing, and the heavy boulder in his heart was suddenly unloaded, and the whole person was a lot more relaxed. There was also a smile on his face that he hadn't seen in a long time.

Mo naturally knew the good news, and smiled happily: "This is out-and-out good news. Your Highness will never have to worry about this matter again. Tomorrow, the three emperors and their younger brothers will leave Beijing, and it is reasonable for the concubine and His Royal Highness to see them off. ”

This is exactly what the prince wants. As a winner, it is certainly a pleasant thing to enjoy the downfall and forced laughter of the loser.

The prince thought for a moment, then nodded in response. He casually ordered: "Let someone send a letter to the Dingguo Mansion to my cousin, and we will go together tomorrow to see off the third emperor brother." ”

Mohs smiled and responded. Immediately ordered someone to go to the Dingguo Mansion to deliver the letter.

……

"I'll go with you, too." After Ye Qinglan knew about this, she immediately said.

Gu Xinian was reluctant: "Pingping and An An are inseparable from you." Don't join in the fun. "The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and he never dared to underestimate the third prince. is even more reluctant to let Ye Qinglan and the third prince have a chance to get in touch.

Ye Qinglan glared at him: "What do you mean by joining in the fun!" Of course I wanted to see something so important. If you don't take me, I'll go by myself!" ”

Gu Shilang, who acted independently, had no way to take his stubborn wife, so he had to compromise and give in: "Okay, okay, I'll take you there, it's all right!" ”

Ye Qinglan turned her anger into joy at this time, and hugged him with a smile and kissed him.

Gu Xinian's heart was warm, he stretched his arms and hugged her tightly in his arms.

In fact, even if she didn't say some things, he knew very well in his heart. The blood feud in his previous life was finally avenged, and he would never let go of witnessing the scene of his enemy leaving Beijing in disgrace. Naturally, she has to be by his side too!

……

The next day, the weather suddenly turned gloomy and drizzled.

Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan rushed to the Prince's Mansion together, and took a carriage with the Prince Mo and rushed to the Three Princes' Mansion.

There are not many people who come to see off the Three Princes, and the Three Princes' Party in the past has long fallen apart in the past few months, and everyone avoids it. There were only a few people who came to see him off.

The most eye-catching thing is Zheng Yun, the prince of Zheng Guo's mansion, and Zheng Junyan and Ye Qingning behind him.

When the prince and his entourage arrived, they immediately attracted everyone's attention. The atmosphere suddenly became delicate. A hint of coldness flashed in the eyes of the third prince.

The crown prince was unusually calm and calm, just like an ordinary brother who cared about his brother, and greeted the third prince affectionately: "Brother Huang, you leave Beijing today, and I have come to give you a ride." In the future, when we go to the domain, there will be very few opportunities for our two brothers to meet. ”

Such a gentle and kind smile, but it is so dazzling. With the calmness and calmness that only the victor has, he stabbed into the hearts of the three princes alive! There is no need to deliberately show off, but it is even more depressing.

The third prince tugged at the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Thank you, brother royal." ”

The crown prince admired the slightly stiff expression of the third prince, and his mood could only be described in two words: happy. After so many years of grievances, I finally waited for this day!

Gu Xinian stood beside the crown prince, and his gaze fell fixedly on the face of the third prince.

He was all too familiar with the face. A vicious expression, an unfathomable expression, a smug expression, a condescending expression...... And at this moment, although this face was calm and calm, it couldn't hide the gloom in his eyes, and his face was faintly gray.

Zhao Zhang, you finally have this day like a lost dog!

The third prince seemed to have noticed something and looked at Gu Xinian.

Gu Xinian didn't avoid his gaze, and even went straight to meet him. He didn't mind letting the third prince see the indifference and contempt in his eyes.

The pupils of the third prince contracted, and then calmed down, and said lightly: "Cousin Xinian, thank you for coming to see me off today." If it's convenient, I'd like to say a few words to you individually. ”

The prince frowned, and was about to open his mouth to say something, but Gu Xinian responded indifferently: "Okay." ”

The crown prince wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, the third prince was about to leave in a few moments, and in such a short time, it was only a few words at most. Gu Xinian can't be in any danger!

Thinking of this, the prince was silent.

What the prince can think of, Ye Qinglan can certainly think of. But reason is one thing, emotion is another. Seeing Gu Xinian and the third prince walking out, Ye Qinglan couldn't keep calm anymore, and subconsciously stepped forward.

Gu Xinian turned his head with a sharp heart and glanced at Ye Qinglan deeply.

Don't worry, I'll be fine!

Ye Qinglan stopped and comforted herself silently. Gu Xinian is so sure, he will definitely be fine.

After the figures of the third prince and Gu Xinian disappeared in front of everyone, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more dull. Roche forced a smile and beckoned everyone to take their seats.

After Ye Qinglan sat down beside Mo's side, she reluctantly gathered her mind and began to look at everyone present. In fact, most of the people who came today were familiar faces. Needless to say, Zheng Junyan and Ye Qingning are here, Cui Yu and Luo Miaoke are also here.

After all, they are all in-laws, and although they don't come and go frequently on weekdays, there are still opportunities to meet. However, Luo Miao is cute and jealous, and narrow-minded. Every time I talk to Ye Qinglan, I feel a little sour, and I have a gun and a stick in my words. Ye Qinglan was too lazy to deal with her, and she didn't want her to have any misunderstanding, so she rarely talked to Cui Yu.

This time they happened to sit across from their husband and wife, and it was inevitable that they made eye contact.

Cui Yu looked at it with concern.

Ye Qinglan smiled politely. Then, Luo Miaoke glared at her unhappily.

…… Ye Qinglan simply twisted her head to the side and spoke to Ye Qingning in a low voice: "Sixth sister, when did you and your brother-in-law come over?" ”

Ye Qingning was obviously not in a good mood today, he was not interested in speaking, and responded in a low voice: "I came very early." ”

Concubine Zheng committed suicide in the palace, and finally saved her life. But he still failed to keep the three princes as he wished. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Zheng Guifei. For Zheng Guogong's Mansion, it is even worse. Zheng Yun's father and son both looked calm and were in a bad mood, how could Ye Qingning feel better in his heart?

In front of so many people, Ye Qinglan couldn't say anything to comfort her, but quietly held Ye Qingning's hand.

The struggle for the throne involves a wide range of aspects. As the foreign family of the third prince, the Zheng Guogong Mansion is tantamount to standing on the cusp. The third prince is now leaving Beijing, and Concubine Zheng has completely lost power in the palace, and the future situation of the Zheng Guogong Mansion can be imagined.

But no one is powerless to change these things. Although Ye Qinglan felt sorry for Ye Qingning, she was helpless.

……

At this time, Gu Xinian was standing opposite to the three princes.

The eyes of the third prince seemed to be calm, but the bottom of his deep eyes seemed to be burning with an invisible flame. He stared straight into Gu Xinian's eyes, and asked the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time word by word: "Why?" Why are you helping Zhao Qi deal with me? ”
