Empress Ye lowered her voice and quickly whispered a few words.

After hearing this, the King of Chu was very stunned, and his pupils contracted suddenly: "What? Cousin Chen is actually the illegitimate son of his father? Queen Mother, is what you said true? ”

This news is so shocking!

Empress Ye's expression was gloomy, and she pulled the corners of her lips coldly: "This matter is absolutely true. It's just that very few people know about it! Otherwise, where did your aunt get the confidence to compete with me? and your father, the emperor, looks at Chen Yuanzhao differently everywhere. Chen Yuanzhao became the commander of the Divine Guard Army at a young age and became the first young general in the army. Your father is indispensable! ”

King Chu frowned, his eyes full of gloom.

I see!

Today, his father specially summoned Chen Yuanzhao into the hall, and he still felt strange in his heart. The father's kindness to Chen Yuanzhao was a little too much, far exceeding the affection for the courtiers, and now that I think about it, the father is really concerned about this illegitimate son who can't reveal his identity.

"Does Cousin Chen know his background?"

Empress Ye thought for a moment and responded: "Your aunt is arrogant, she shouldn't tell him about it." Moreover, he has not behaved unusually, obviously not knowing his background. ”

After a pause, he said in a low voice: "Ah Yun, your father is very partial to Chen Yuanzhao, if you want to be the prince, you must win over Chen Yuanzhao." As long as he is willing to help with all his might, King Qin and King Wei will never be your opponent. ”

King Chu nodded: "What the queen mother said is true." However, this person also has to be guarded against. When this is done, I have to find a reason to get rid of him, lest he become my confidant one day. ”

There are no impermeable walls.

Chen Yuanzhao doesn't know his background now. It doesn't mean you never know. Once you know it, you will have ambitions for the throne. Only by killing Chen Yuanzhao can you really rest assured.

King Chu's delicate face was gloomy and cold. It's chilling.

Empress Ye saw it in her eyes and felt a little weird discomfort.

This young son only likes to read on weekdays and never talks about political affairs, and is filial and pure. She values the prince the most, but her favorite is this little son.

It was only at this moment that she was shocked to find that she had never really understood her son.

The king of Chu soon returned to normal. Softly said to Queen Ye: "Leave these trivial matters to me, the queen mother doesn't have to worry, just rest in peace." The death of the eldest brother. The queen mother must be sad and sad. Even if it's for me, please take care of the phoenix body after the queen mother. ”

The king of Chu is young and has no foundation to rely on. It's nothing more than the identity of the heir.

Empress Ye came back to her senses. Thinking of the death of his eldest son, his heart was extremely bitter: "Don't worry, I know the importance of it, and I won't just fall down and leave everything alone." ”

The King of Chu coaxed Queen Ye again, and personally folded the futon for Queen Ye: "Queen Mother, you can sleep in peace, I won't go anywhere, I'll accompany you here." ”

Queen Ye was exhausted. I was really tired and quickly closed my eyes.

The king of Chu sat on the edge of the bed. Holding Queen Ye's hand, he watched Queen Ye slowly fall asleep.

Empress Ye obviously didn't sleep peacefully, and she frowned in her sleep, occasionally whispering a few times, shouting the name of the prince. King Chu's face was dark, and his eyes flickered.

Big brother is gone! The position of this prince can only be his!

The lights in Chongzheng Hall and Yanfu Palace are bright, and the Changle Palace does not stop.

Although Concubine Ji Xian was not as angry as Queen Ye, she vomited blood and fell into a coma, and the situation was not good. I cried all afternoon, my voice was hoarse, and I could barely speak.

"Mother," Princess An Ning also cried for a long time, her eyes were red, and she said in a hoarse voice: "The eldest brother was assassinated, and although the third brother was injured, his life is finally fine." Don't be too sad. ”

Concubine Ji Xian's tears had already dried up, and when she heard this, she sighed, waved her hand, and motioned for all the palace maids to retreat. Then he whispered, "You stupid girl." The crown prince is dead, and I have to pretend to be sad so as not to be provoked by the emperor and the queen. ”

The mother cried for a long time, and it was because of this reason.

Princess An Ning was dumbfounded, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Concubine Ji Xian's eyes flashed, and a smug smile flashed in her eyes: "As long as your third brother recovers from his injuries, the position of the prince of the Great Yan Dynasty will definitely be his." Xiang'er, our mother and daughter have finally survived this day. Wait for your third brother to sit on the throne, and see who else in this palace dares to look down on us! ”

Princess An Ning couldn't get used to hearing such words, and couldn't help frowning: "Mother Concubine's words are not appropriate. The eldest brother's bones are not cold, and we began to calculate the position of the prince at this time, which is too cold. Besides, my father has always favored my mother, and he is also very good to the third brother and me. The people in the palace flattered us everywhere, and no one dared to underestimate us. ”

Concubine Ji Xian sneered: "You are such a stupid girl!" I don't want to think about it. At this time, we didn't suffer any idleness, because your father and emperor were still alive, and no one dared to snub our mother and son. ：”

"If your father returns to heaven, and the crown prince sits on the dragon chair, everyone in this palace will look up to Queen Ye to snort. With her ruthlessness, the first person to deal with is our mother and son. ”

In the huge bedroom, there were only two mothers and daughters, and their voices were extremely low, and Concubine Ji Xian had no scruples about speaking. Even such a rebellious remark as the emperor's return to heaven came out.

Princess An Ning's heart was beating when she heard this, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she stammered: "Mother, these words are absolutely unspeakable. If it accidentally reaches the ears of the father or the queen mother, it will be bad."

"As soon as the prince dies, it's too late for Queen Ye to cry, where is there still time to ask me." Concubine Ji Xian's words were very mean: "Besides, there are only two of us mother and daughter here, who can hear it." ”

Princess An Ning was speechless.

Concubine Ji Xian has been holding back in her heart for several years since hearing the news of the prince's death. I can't wait to look up to the sky and laugh a few times to show the joy in my heart.

had to pretend to cry in front of people for a long time, at this time only the mother and daughter were left, and Concubine Ji Xian no longer hid the joy in her heart: "King Wei is a cripple, and King Chu has been weak since he was a child, and he is the youngest. Both of them are nowhere near as good as your third brother. If you don't want to pass on this throne to Ah Ye, you can't do it! ”

When King Qin became the crown prince, she would be able to raise her eyebrows in the harem, and she would no longer have to take the self-righteous Queen Ye in her eyes.

Princess An Ning was silent for a moment before asking, "Mother, are you really not worried about the third brother's injury at all?" ”

Concubine Ji Xian replied lightly: "Don't worry, Jiren has his own nature." Your third brother has the luck of the true dragon emperor, and he will never be fine. ”

With Concubine Ji Xian's understanding of King Qin, she vaguely guessed that this "assassination" was by no means as simple as it seemed
