Ah Yuan lowered his head in front of the door and said, "The queen mother is almost at the Heart Cultivation Palace." The second prince had already gone out to greet him, and the queen also ordered someone to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to invite Prime Minister Sima Cheng into the palace, saying that there was something important to announce. The slave didn't dare to delay, so she rushed to tell the prince that the prince and the princess had also made a plan in advance. ”

Xiao Cuo turned to look at Fu Ying, who was grooming, "Let's go out now?" ”

After resting, Fu Ying's hair was scattered, and she asked Luzhu to help her comb her hair, and she took the paste to evenly balance her face, and when she heard the words, she raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Cuo in the mirror, and said: "Naturally, it is now, the queen mother has gathered all the people, maybe she will arrange the sacrifice to the sky immediately, if she wants to come and go late, I am afraid that it will delay the serious matter." ”

Xiao Cuo nodded, looked at Fu Ying and stopped talking a few times.

When it came to the end, he was really reluctant to let Fu Ying go out of this way. It's just that there is no other way to properly solve this matter now, and if you don't do it now, once the queen becomes bigger, I'm afraid that the first person to be targeted will be him, he and Fu Ying are one, if he has something, Fu Ying can be alone?

Fu Ying quickly sorted it out, turned around and saw Xiao Cuo's entangled brows, his heart warmed, and he smiled: "Just worry about me so much." ”

How can you not be worried?

Xiao Cuo put away the thoughts of those children, and only smiled: "It's nothing, I will protect you, don't be afraid." ”

"I'm not afraid, because I know you'll be with me." Fu Ying shook Xiao Cuo's hand, and immediately smiled: "But since you have to take this step, it will not be good for you to be by my side all the time in the future." It matters that you just lead your courtiers to do the right thing. ”

Xiao Cuo understood what Fu Ying meant, and said, "I know." ”

The two of them had left the bedroom while talking, and went straight forward, the palace people had already known the news of the queen's return, and they had already lined up to wait, Fu Ying looked at the posture, it was really not much worse than the scene of the emperor's return, and he had a guess in his heart.

When the queen returned, it was absolutely impossible for her to make such preparations, perhaps it was everything that the second prince specially prepared in Kyoto.

If the second prince is willing to collude with the queen like that. It was also unexpected by Fu Ying. After all, the second prince is a man from the Xiao family. How can authority be transferred outward?

Fu Ying walked forward in contemplation.

In order to welcome the queen Luan, he was not willing to fall behind in terms of momentum, so today Fu Ying wore a royal blue Shu brocade butterfly with a flower sleeve jacket and a skirt of eight Shu brocade of the same color. A cold color looks like a light snow. Although the bun is simply combed into a high bun. Headdresses are also used sparingly. But the sapphire crested head of the excellent quality added a few points, and the tassel tassel gently swayed on one side when walking, and the sapphire gold-encrusted sle was decorated on the forehead. It's really cold as the moon, and it's shining.

The emperor was seriously ill, and there was a prince in the palace, and her dress not only showed her identity but was not very festive, and the royal blue looked much calmer and more imposing.

Xiao Cuo looked at it and felt half relieved. It seems that she is measured.

The two of them walked out of the main gate of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and saw that the second prince had already led Queen Luan through the shadow wall in front of the Zunyi Gate.

The queen was dressed in a wide coat with a splendid phoenix, a long skirt swaying to the ground, and a crown of birds and phoenixes on her head, which was actually made up. The slightly plump figure has now lost weight, and the skin on his face is a little saggy, but the red lips are gorgeous and the complexion is solemn, but it is heavier than Feng Yi in the past.

Fu Ying seems to see an ambitious woman about to enter the political arena. She became more and more solemn in her heart, stepped forward with a light smile, and saluted: "The queen mother is a thousand years old." ”

Xiao Cuo also gave up his hand at the same time: "The imperial sister-in-law is back." ”

In the past, the queen must have called Xiao the wrong word "worry-free" to show her closeness. Today, he didn't raise his eyebrows and said a cold "um". With his back straight, he went straight into the main entrance of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Fu Ying and Xiao Cuo glanced at each other, and then followed.

Yu Dongnuan Pavilion sat down, and after saluting again, everyone sat down according to their identities.

The palace people hold tea.

The queen took it, and the nails painted with bright red kodan and the gold-inlaid jade ring on her fingers echoed the faint matte light, and she took a bite coldly.

Fu Ying raised her eyebrows.

A woman who has lost her son and is about to lose her husband can really quickly see it, walk out of the shadow of great sorrow in life, and return to Beijing step by step, is she more courageous than before?

If this woman can really do this, it is enough to see the coldness of her heart.

The queen took a sip of tea, exhaled slowly, and said slowly: "Prince Xiang is really capable, and he was able to quietly leave the summer resort and return to Kyoto." Why, it's so difficult to order someone to talk to the main palace? If you don't say goodbye, if it weren't for the fact that this palace knew that you were not such a scheming villain, you would really be nervous. ”

Xiao Cuo smiled: "It is precisely because the imperial sister-in-law knows that the younger brother is not that kind of person, the younger brother can act openly, the fourth prince has already had an accident, the second prince has returned to Beijing and has not sent a message back, and the people sent have no news, if it is left in the imperial sister-in-law, aren't you also worried about whether something happened to the second prince?" To tell the truth, the younger brother even transferred the soldiers and horses of the army in the five military camps to the outside of the city, if anyone really dares to make a move, the younger brother will definitely protect the emperor's country. ”

A prince with a heavy arm, even if he talks with a smile, his momentum is still terrifying, and if a person who has seen a bloody killing is really serious, his eyes are naturally different from ordinary people.

Xiao Cuo's last sentence only stared at the queen, and said it loudly, and the queen's perfect mask almost cracked.

For the little uncle who has the absolute determination to kill by force, the queen's heart is also very empty.

The second prince found that the queen's momentum was weakening, and he was also a little anxious, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the people in the palace outside: "Prime Minister Sima has arrived." ”

My heart was suddenly relieved.

The second prince knows very well how powerful his little imperial uncle is, if he really makes him serious, I am afraid that he will not be an opponent.

Sima Xin was still carried in by the palace people.

The queen looked at Luoxia, the palace maid who was leaving behind her, and was immediately stunned.

The queen frowned: "What's going on?" ”

Sima Xin lay on the ground with difficulty and saluted: "The old minister sees the queen's mother." This board is really what the old minister deserves. ”

Xiao Cuo said coldly: "Prime Minister Sima Cheng refused to open the city gate in accordance with the holy decree, and the news was blocked, which led to the stalling of the investigation into the cause of the death of the four princes. The younger brother punished him with forty boards, and gave him a long memory. Let's see if it's not flexible next time. ”

The queen twisted her eyebrows, pursed her lips, and seemed to use some strength to stabilize her thoughts, and then said: "The fourth prince had an accident, the emperor was poisoned again, and there was also a landslide in Hongfeng Mountain, this kind of thing is undoubtedly not a heavenly omen." The palace decided to personally worship the heavens, pray for the emperor, and pray for the people of the Great Zhou. ”

As soon as the words fell, Fu Ying had already gotten up and saluted: "The queen mother really has a deep relationship with the emperor." The courtiers and the prince are bathed in the emperor's grace, and the courtiers ask to go with you to sacrifice to the sky, do you think it's okay? (To be continued......)
