Chapter 68: Fear

Empress Zheng stared at the crown prince with a stern expression and frowned in displeasure.

In just a moment, the prince regained his composure.

He pretended to be calm and straightened his sleeves, but there were dense beads of sweat spilling from his forehead.

He raised his eyes to look at Empress Zheng, and the corners of his mouth stiffened into a smile, "Queen Mother, you ......"

As soon as Song Yingke spoke, she was interrupted by Empress Zheng, who angrily reprimanded: "Who is the woman in the room? ”

Song Yingke obviously didn't expect Empress Zheng to suddenly say this, and hurriedly covered it up: "Queen Mother, the sons and daughters don't understand. ”

Mu Zhiling raised her eyes and looked at the prince, and the appearance of a wolf was not much different from back then.

It was calculated and used back then, and it still is.

As soon as the prince's words fell, Pan Jiaojiao ran out of the inner hall barefoot.

Looking at her appearance, she was barely fully dressed, except for a few strands of hair hanging down her forehead and a few dark red spots around her neck.

When she walked to the outer hall and saw Empress Zheng, she was a little panicked. But in a blink of an eye, she is already the prince's person, and her father is the prime minister of the official residence, so the position of the crown princess must be hers.

Thinking of this, she walked slowly towards Empress Zheng with slender steps, saluted respectfully, smiled gently, and said, "The courtiers see the queen's mother, see Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

Empress Zheng looked at Pan Jiaojiao, snorted coldly, and then turned her gaze to the crown prince and said, "Ke'er, what the hell is going on?" ”

The prince looked at Mu Zhiling and Mu Zhishu on the side, and couldn't say anything when the words came to his lips.

Empress Zheng ordered the rest to retreat.

Mu Zhiling glanced at Empress Zheng quickly, and saw that she was angry and hidden other feelings.

On the way back, I remembered over and over again what Empress Zheng had done. Princess Ning He looked sad, and suddenly grabbed Mu Zhiling's hand. said extremely solemnly: "Mu Xiaowu, what do you think is a big Jinjiangshan." Which prince should it be handed over? ”

Mu Zhiling sighed in her heart.

Princess Ninghe would not ask her like this for no reason, let alone say this for no reason.

She finally understood the light smile in Empress Zheng's eyes.

Although the crown prince called Empress Zheng his mother, she brought him up, but he was not born to Empress Zheng after all, how could Empress Zheng treat him sincerely!

Moreover, in all dynasties, which concubine does not want the day in the future when the world is in the hands of her son.

And now in the court, I am afraid that the storm has already surged in secret.

In her previous life, she heard some things about the crown prince and the five princes from her brother. I remember that most of the ministers in the court actually supported the five princes, and a few courtiers led by Prime Minister Pan supported the crown prince.

Now that Pan Jiaojiao and the prince have happened like this, the prince is only afraid of ......

But Empress Zheng didn't know, maybe she tried her best to get nothing in the end.

In his previous life, he became an emperor not the fifth prince or the crown prince, but the son of Concubine Gao Shu, the eight-year-old sixteenth prince Song Yingxi.

Mu Zhiling was stunned and said in a panic: "Princess." The courtiers are just a woman, and they have no right to ask if they are handed over to anyone. ”

Princess Ninghe sighed and said meaningfully: "I just like your indifferent temperament. If you are the kind of person who likes to provoke trouble and stir up trouble, you will not want to set foot in the palace for half a step. ”

Princess Ning He's seemingly playful words were bitten very hard.

Mu Zhishu, who was standing next to Mu Zhiling, heard this. His whole body seemed to be entangled in thin threads, and he couldn't move.

She knew that Princess Ning He was speaking to her.

Mu Zhishu trembled and knelt down and said, "Princess." Courtiers...... The courtiers are just afraid of ......"

Princess Ning He ignored Mu Zhishu and pulled Mu Zhiling forward.

Leaving Mu Zhishu to kneel on the spot alone.

The two walked into the distance. Princess Ning He saw that Mu Zhiling was in a trance, so she said, "Little Wu, what are you thinking?" ”

Only then did Mu Zhiling realize her gaffe, walked forward quickly, shook her head and said, "The princess forgives her sins, the courtier...... After a courtier's daughter fell ill when she was a child, she often did this. ”

Princess Ning and the princess quipped: "There is still such a disease? ”

Mu Zhiling nodded indiscriminately.

Princess Ning He didn't ask any more questions, and pulled her forward.

Unexpectedly, he met the five princes in the middle of the road.

Mu Zhiling bowed her head very unnaturally.

She didn't dare to look up at the hot eyes of the fifth prince, and she always felt that there were some things mixed in that she couldn't see through and couldn't figure out.

"Little Wu, are you feeling better?" The fifth prince looked at Mu Zhiling nervously, and Mu Zhiling shook her head awkwardly.

Then she didn't listen to what the fifth prince said, she just nodded vigorously.

His hand kept tugging at Princess Ninghe's sleeve.

Until I went back, I was shocked into a cold sweat.

Princess Ning He saw her timid appearance, frowned, and said, "You are very afraid of my fifth brother?" ”

Mu Zhiling looked nervous and said, "Why did the princess ask like that?" ”

"If you're not afraid of my fifth brother, then why do you always keep your head down when you see him? It was like that in the morning, and it was still like that just now. If you are not afraid of my fifth brother, then could it be that you like my fifth brother? ”

Mu Zhiling didn't look away, she didn't know how to answer, so she stood still and didn't speak.

Princess Ninghe looked at her meaningfully and suddenly laughed.

"My fifth brother is very good." Princess Ning He whispered such a sentence in Mu Zhiling's ear.

Before Mu Zhiling could react, Princess Ning and Princess left quickly.

Mu Zhiling sighed deeply, Princess Ning and Princess Ning must have misunderstood, but now that she is all the same, she will only describe things more and more black.

Early the next morning, the palace maids whispered, and one of them said to a person next to him with a slightly loud voice: "I heard that Pan Cheng entered the palace at night yesterday. ”

The man next to him whispered: "I heard that the emperor was angry with the prince, and I heard that Xiao Wenzi said that the emperor almost had the heart of abolishing the prince." It's almost gone, and it's said to be a three-month lockdown. ”

After hearing this, the rough man said, "What about the daughter of Prime Minister Pan?" I said that she was at fault in this matter, she was simply a vixen, and she had harmed the prince so badly, and such a woman who was immoral should be immersed in the pig cage. ”

The slender man went to cover his rough mouth and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" That's the daughter of Prime Minister Pan, how could the emperor let her dip in the pig cage? Don't talk nonsense, maybe Miss Pan will become the crown princess with this one. ”

The rough voice nodded and said, "Yes, we are slaves, and we don't care what we do." ”

Mu Zhiling listened carefully in the room, but the two palace maids left in a panic.

Mu Zhiling looked out of the window through the crack in the window, and Mu Zhishu stood in the courtyard, her face as white as powder.

Recalling the words of the two palace maids in Shicai, Mu Zhiling hooked her lips slightly and smiled bitterly.

If the emperor has the heart to abolish the crown prince, he is afraid that this matter is enough. But he didn't, if he moved the heart of the abolished prince, then what did he mean by announcing that Prime Minister Pan Cheng entered the palace overnight?

She can think of these things as an outsider, and it is impossible for Empress Zheng not to think of it.

Mu Zhiling's eyes locked on Mu Zhiling in the court, and she sighed secretly in her heart.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings here. (To be continued......)
