In the Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, the queen asks to see you."

Emperor Lian was sitting alone in front of the chessboard, and there was only a glint in his eyes, "Let her in." ”

After a while, the noble woman slowly appeared in front of him, and Ying Ying bowed, "Concubine, see Your Majesty." ”

"Excuse me, the queen is here today, what's the matter?"

The queen glanced at Emperor Lian without a trace, as if she wanted to see something from his expression.

"Your Majesty, when the concubine heard the rumors in the palace, she felt very annoyed, and hoped that His Royal Highness would be the master of the concubine."

"What rumors?" Emperor Lian held the chess pieces in his hand, but he didn't fall for a long time, as if he just replied to her absentmindedly.

"There are rumors in the palace that the illness of the Fourth Highness is related to Meng'er, which is simply the reputation of the bad Meng'er and the reputation of His Highness! The concubine doesn't want people to say that the concubine is shielding Meng'er, and she asks Her Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly, and Meng'er will be fair! The queen's tone was full of sincerity, and she raised her eyes cautiously, and there was no change in the face of the Lotus Emperor.

"The matter of this harem has always been decided by you, if there are rumors and troubles, just arrest them."

Emperor Lianguo still has the same attitude as before, which makes the queen sneer in her heart, it seems that she has been too careful before, and she thinks that once it is related to His Royal Highness, the emperor will gradually take power, and his current attitude, even if he hears about this matter, he is not moved, so good.

A slight smile appeared on the emperor's face, "Thank you for your trust." ”

"Let's be flat."

"Thank you." The queen slowly stood up, as if she had thought of something, "Your Majesty, the concubine also heard about something. ”

Emperor Lianguo didn't speak, and the queen continued to speak, "I don't know who spread the news, saying that Miss Gongsun was not born to General Gongsun, and a young lady from Chenguo came instead, of course, such rumors, the concubines can't believe it, General Gongsun will never mistake his daughter......"

"Well, what the queen said is very true."

Emperor Lian finally moved, and gently dropped a white child.

The queen's gaze fell on the chessboard, and then slowly leaned over, "The concubine and His Royal Highness haven't played against each other for a long time. Why don't you ......" She stretched out her hand and was about to touch the sunspot, but she didn't want to use her hands, but her hands grabbed her wrists tightly, and this force startled the queen.

The honorable man slowly raised his eyes, but there was not much temperature in his eyes, "The queen must be tired of dealing with harem affairs all day, right?" ”

"......" His body was full of a strong sense of rejection, the queen's expression was a little embarrassed, until Emperor Lian slowly let go of her hand, she bowed a little unnaturally, "Thank you for your concern, the concubine retires......"

Looking at the departing back, an undisguised disgust instantly appeared in Emperor Lian's eyes, she was just here to test her attitude, but she didn't expect that she would find out about Gongsun Shu so quickly. What will Ling Er do this time? Now, the queen does not have the ability to move General Gongsun, but she will definitely not stand idly by.

With a click, Emperor Lotus picked up a sunspot and fell heavily.

Outside the imperial study, the queen only felt that there was still the scorching temperature on her wrist, and she opened her sleeves slightly to see that there was a bright red mark on it.

In her mind, the man's cold eyes lingered, and the queen's heart crossed a touch of pain, and she couldn't help but recall one afternoon many years ago, on the edge of the lake, the handsome man stood in the spring breeze and looked into the distance, and it was just that glance that completely changed the trajectory of his life.

Even if he hated her, even if he would always treat himself with such an attitude, she felt that she must stay in his life at any cost, even if it was ...... A position that will never stand side by side with him.

She is not happy, at least, she doesn't want to see him happy.

His happiness can only be given by himself!

Thinking of this, the queen's face once again regained its warm smile, and gradually disappeared into the long corridor.

"Niangniang, since the emperor asked Niangniang to deal with this matter, why don't we take this opportunity to uproot the Yuguifei party?" The grandmother beside her couldn't help but remind.

"The emperor just said that he wanted the palace to arrest the people who spread rumors and caused trouble, and he didn't ask the palace to deal with the jade concubine." The queen naturally heard what the emperor meant, and besides, the party of the jade concubine, she didn't look at it at all, although she was not used to seeing those sluts wandering around the harem all day long, but the queen understood better that if there was one less jade concubine, there would be a new person on top. Today's emperor does not refuse, rather than letting himself see those fresh and beautiful faces, it is better to keep these women who are gradually aging, and they will not lose the emperor's eyes.

The top priority is to find out the whereabouts of the former queen as soon as possible, otherwise the queen will not be able to sit still. She wanted to see how long he could stay.

And on the other end, in the palace of the second prince.

"What?! No news from people on both sides yet? The second prince, Huang Fuyu, looked at the man in front of him with a dissatisfied expression, "Didn't you say that as long as this news spreads, you will definitely see them dog-eat-dog?!" ”

"Your Royal Highness is angry, the queen is thoughtful, even if there is a move, it will take a certain amount of time." Huangfu Lin lowered his head humbly, in the eyes of outsiders, he was the third prince, but in front of Huangfu Yu, he was just a dog that came and went.

"Humph! I thought you got some big news, but the whole palace knew about it, but they didn't make any moves! Huangfuyu felt that his expectations were disappointed, and he wanted to watch a good show on the wall, but he didn't expect it to be too disappointing!

"The royal brother just didn't expect that the eldest prince would be so calm." Although, they can all see that the eldest prince has no meaning for Shangguan Meng, but the entire palace has already acquiesced, Shangguan Meng is the future eldest princess, and now the eldest princess has an affair with the fourth prince, which is simply a great insult to the eldest prince, he shouldn't be so quiet!

Moreover, if Concubine Yu knew about this matter, she would definitely feel that Shangguan Meng was instructed by someone, whether she suspected His Highness or the Empress, it would be a great thing for them.

No one in the entire harem dares to mess with the queen? No, it's just that the queen hasn't touched their bottom line yet. The queen has no children under her knees, and no matter who becomes the emperor of the lotus country in the future, it will not be of any benefit to her. And her attitude has been unclear so far, and although the forces behind the princes are ready to move, there is still no legitimate fuse.

Although Huangfulin is the third prince, his power is the weakest. His mother, Lan Guifei, died in an accident when he was young, and the family behind Lan Guifei also settled. Therefore, in order to survive in the palace, he must choose one person to rely on. After observing for a long time, he finally chose the second prince.

The fifth prince and the eighth prince have no support now, and Huang Fu Lin doesn't look at it at all, and this Huang Fu Yi, with Yu Guifei as a backer, can be regarded as his opponent.

The second prince, Huangfu Yu, was originally a candidate for the crown prince, although his mother is no longer alive, but his mother has made meritorious contributions to saving the driver, and his maiden family is the prime minister's mansion of the Lotus State, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, so he is still the most powerful person to ascend the throne.

In fact, the first choice of hostility in the hearts of every prince is the eldest prince Huang Fu Ling. No one could convince him, but no one could really move him.

Behind Huang Fu Ling, there is the great country scholar family who has been in seclusion for a long time, because of the matter of the former queen, the great country scholar family has not asked about the government for many years, not so much not to ask, but to say that it has completely broken with the royal family of the Lotus Kingdom, which makes many people in the court feel that Huang Fu Ling's sudden appearance is a special intention.

But as a royal bloodline, it is an unchangeable thing. Everyone only hoped that Tong Guò would be assassinated, or that he would make an unforgivable mistake, so that Emperor Lian would abandon him completely.

"Perhaps, it's because we don't know the eldest prince too well." Huang Fulin's eyes sank, but he didn't expect that it was about the man's face, and the eldest prince was still unmoved, but at least, Yu Guifei had to make a move.

His son has become what he is now because of Shangguan Meng, he doesn't believe it, no matter how scared he is in his heart, Yu Guifei still can't swallow this breath.

At this time, a gaze made Huangfu Lin raise his head, only to see Huangfu Yu looking at him deeply.

"Second Emperor Brother?"

"Since they don't act, then we force them! Isn't Shangguan Meng often in the palace? Today, you go and see her. ”

Huang Fulin's eyes flashed, and the other party immediately frowned unhappily, "What, unwilling?!" Shangguan Meng is also a beauty, is it possible that you are still afraid of her? There was a strong sense of sarcasm in his tone.

"......" Huangfu's hand in his sleeve clenched tightly, and then lowered his head slightly, "Huangfu understands." ”

"Remember, if she's willing to be used by us, if not, whatever you do, provoke her to jump off the wall!"

……

Outside the cold palace, stood the handsome and handsome man.

Huang Fu Lin looked up at the lifeless plaque, and had to say that every time he saw Shangguan Meng, he had a faint sense of rejection in his heart, and he always felt that the other party was a very unclean thing. Now that Huang Fuyi is infected with a strange disease, it further confirms what he thinks in his heart.

The second prince asked him to find a way to provoke Shangguan Meng? It's easy to put it. This woman didn't take the prince in her eyes at all, and dared to treat the emperor like that, wouldn't she be exposed to danger if she came by herself.

Huangfu Lin looked at the gray palace tiles, and then a streamer crossed his eyes.

……

A black shadow quickly shuttled across the roof, and a slight sound attracted his attention, and the emperor's eyes flashed, and immediately landed on a roof.
