"Ah Ao, what's going on with you and the eldest princess?" After Liang Qi left, Xue Guifei asked urgently, she frowned, looked at him, and said in a deep voice, "Do you really like that girl from the Su family?" ”

Liang Ao turned his head, glanced at her, and smiled comfortingly:

"It's just a side concubine, the son has his own arrangements, and the mother doesn't have to take it to heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xue Guifei looked at him, her lips moved, but she didn't know what to say.

Her son didn't grow up beside her, he lived in the Naruhito Hall when he was very young, and she, as a mother, could only see her son during the school break or the New Year's Festival, and she could only make something for people to send to her, and it was impossible to visit her in person, because the concubine could not enter the Naruto Hall.

The princes of Liang Ao's generation have all grown up like this, Xue Guifei is not dissatisfied, she has experienced the turbulent times of the first emperor's period, and has seen the princes of the previous generation in the battle of the concubines or fierce or innocently implicated, which has plunged the whole country into turmoil, and the forces of all parties are rolling. She understood that the system requested by the emperor was to put an end to the chaos of the alliance of foreign relatives during the period of the emperor. However, such a system has led to a weak mother-son relationship between her and her son, because she is not a child who grew up by her side, and many times she does not understand what he is thinking, and she does not know how to help him if she wants to help.

When he was three years old, she sent him to Narurenden in tears, and although she was sad, she believed that Narurenden's education would make him grow into an excellent man, and that his success was more important than that of being with his mother. Now, he has finally become an excellent man, but she feels lonely, and her son, who is very polite, is not close to her. She understands the truth and can endure it, but many times, she still feels lost.

Xue Guifei is not dissatisfied with her current life, on the contrary, she is very satisfied. She is a noble concubine, there is no queen in the palace, she is alone. Compared with the period of the first emperor, the emperor's harem is simply depressed to boring, there are few high positions, and she is the only one alive with the prince's biological mother. The emperor has not been drafted for many years, and it seems that he does not plan to have any more children. They have lived together for 30 years, although there is no affectionate money between the two, but they get along well, a son and a daughter, both are healthy and outstanding, she does not ask for anything, just waiting for a hundred years to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, her life is also complete. There were so many women in Lingshui Palace back then, and her results should be the best.

The emperor actually doesn't like her, she knows this, and he also saw that she was smart and knew how to advance and retreat, so he reused her after the queen's death. If her temperament was a little more arrogant, she would not have become a concubine. If she dares to have that unrealistic delusion, even if she is the biological mother of the second prince, she will not be able to live smoothly until now.

Liang Shuo is a gentle man, and at the same time a ruthless man, he can treat everyone well, but he does not love any woman, including the first queen. Under the weight of imperial power, he has long lost the ability to love by fighting for the future with his life. The former empress once said that the emperor was a poor man, he lived to survive when he was the prince, and when he ascended the throne as the emperor, the purpose of his life would become so that the regime he established could continue smoothly. The son born to the daughter of a local magistrate will never learn to live with dignity and grace, he does not have the innate arrogance and conceit of royals, he is best at forbearance, he is like a poisonous snake coiled in a cold cave, he can always curl up, no matter how to disturb and hit him, he will not appear, until he thinks that the time is ripe, he will suddenly open his fangs and bite the other party to death, leaving no room for it.

At that time, she didn't understand, she only felt that the graceful and luxurious former queen's mouth was too mean, and now she understands that the emperor does not want to be an emperor through the ages, nor does he have the ambition and pride to open up the territory and overlook the world, and he will not be conceited that he can govern the country full of holes into a prosperous and prosperous era in just a few decades, what he did as the emperor is very simple, as long as the border is peaceful and stable, the people do not worry about food and clothing, the court officials are more honest and upright, and the yamen is less corrupt and verbose, and then such a country will be safely and smoothly handed over to the crown prince. And that was his purpose.

Now, it's almost time to close the net.

The emperor will remove all the tumors of Yue Liang before passing on the throne, and when the crown prince succeeds to the throne, he will take over a peaceful and stable country waiting to be prosperous, such a country needs a benevolent monarch, so the emperor is not optimistic about Liang Ao, who will see the atmosphere, understand the timing, be good at planning, and be too capable, he thinks that Liang Ao, who has a city in his heart, will become sensitive and suspicious after being contaminated by the imperial power, and will be tyrannical and chaotic in order to consolidate his own power, and will trap all the people in fire and water in order to realize his ambitions, just like the emperor.

But Xue Guifei didn't think that her son would become like that.

Xue Guifei doesn't hate the prince, the prince's biological mother is a woman she can't hope for, and she can't even say jealousy of that woman. The prince is very much like his mother, with a gentle temperament and kindness, even the most mean people can't say a word "bad" to the prince, at most he thinks that the prince is sometimes too kind and a little muddy, which he is not like his mother, so he has some regrets.

The crown prince has a lot of respect for her, and if she does not have a son, she has no problem at all with the crown prince's accession to the throne. She doesn't have to be the queen mother, as long as there is no queen mother in the future, she can accept letting her be a concubine with the highest status in peace. But the problem is that she has a son, or a son who is not inferior to the prince, and now she sits in the highest position in the harem, and she sits in the most advantageous position but lets her son be subservient to the prince, so she always feels sorry for Liang Ao. She can fight for her son once, does she want her son to follow the prince's ass for the rest of his life?

But what Liang Ao thinks, she doesn't know. She had asked from the side, but he never answered her as a mother. This made her feel a little cold, she didn't know if Liang Ao was educated by his father and was guarding against his mother's contact with his relatives, or if he really didn't think about taking the prince.

Obviously it was her own son, but she never saw through it, and she was a little sad.

There is also Wei Xinyan, who has always regarded her as a daughter, the ambitious Wei Xinyan always wants to pull Liang Ao into her conspiracy circle, that woman, she was a famous madman when she was in Lingshui Palace in the past, and now she is a hundred times crazier than before, Xue Guifei feels cold every time she sees her. Wei Xinyan is inferior to her dead sister in every aspect, but there is one thing Wei Xinyan is more terrible than Wei Xinlan, she is more ruthless than any woman or even any man, she has nothing in her eyes, only ambition and power, so she says she is a madman.

She didn't know what Wei Xinyan's ultimate goal was, she had hinted many times that the emperor should be wary of this woman, but the emperor's attitude towards Wei Xinyan was always unwavering, and she didn't know what the emperor was planning. She even went back to Xiang in private because of Wei Xinyan's matter, but neither Hui Xiang nor Pang Mengnan kept their mouths shut about Wei Xinyan, and the tense and treacherous atmosphere made her uneasy. Xue Guifei definitely didn't want her son to be involved in Wei Xinyan's conspiracy, so the most vigilant thing she was now was not the prince standing on the storage seat, but Wei Xinyan, who might not jump out and bite people at any time.

"Mother," Liang Ao frowned when he saw Xue Guifei staring at his face in a daze, "What are you thinking?" ”

Xue Guifei came back to her senses, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice:

"The prince has returned to Liangdu, do you know?"

"Yes." Liang Ao said in a light tone, "After the people from Kosi are gone, I will go to visit Brother Prince, although Brother Prince's injury is dangerous, fortunately it is smooth, and he only needs to recuperate for a while." ”

"The prince was in trouble in Lunan...... Originally, he couldn't come back, but at the critical moment, it was the people of the Bingquan Palace who rescued His Royal Highness the Prince, and the people of the Bingquan Palace copied the yamen of the entire Lunan Province. Xue Guifei wanted to speak and stopped, paused, and said softly.

Liang Ao didn't know about this, he was stunned, a dark color flashed under his eyes, and after a pause, he said with a smile:

"Brother Crown Prince went to disaster relief to investigate the case, and my father sent someone from Bingquan Palace to protect him secretly, and my father still feels the most sorry for Brother Prince."

"Your father naturally feels sorry for His Royal Highness the Prince, but why did the people of the Ice Spring Palace only act after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was seriously injured?"

"Why does the concubine think?" Liang Ao asked with a smile.

"Your father still wants to pass on the throne to the crown prince." Xue Guifei looked at him and said.

Liang Ao's expression did not change, but slightly tightened the corners of his lips:

"Brother Crown Prince is the eldest son, and his wisdom and virtue are also recognized by Yue Liang State, and he is justified as the heir of his father."

"Ah Ao ......" Xue Guifei looked at him, her eyes were a little more pitiful, although she didn't hate the prince, and she recognized the prince's virtue, but in her heart, she still thought that her son was more suitable for that supreme position.

"How did the concubine know about the Ice Spring Palace?" Liang Ao asked with a smile.

"Princess Rui." Xue Guifei was silent for a moment and whispered.

"The mother concubine and Princess Rui are really not ordinary close." Liang Ao said with a smile.

"Because they grew up together." Xue Guifei said softly, as if sighing.

Liang Ao smiled, every time he asked his mother, his mother answered him like this.

"Mother." He looked at her and called out suddenly.

"Huh?" Xue Guifei replied gently.

"Recently, I feel more and more that the previous generation seems to have been hiding a lot of things from us, even the crown prince, there are many things that he doesn't know." Liang Ao looked at her and said with his lips hooked.

Xue Guifei was slightly stunned, she laughed, and said softly: "Why do you think so?" ”

Liang Ao stared at her for a while, shook his head, and laughed in a low voice: "No, I'll just ask casually." ”

Xue Guifei swept these words with a smile and said nothing.

……

The prince of Kosi returned to the country in a huff, thinking that it would end with the most majestic result, but he didn't expect that the martial arts meeting would end with the strongest warrior in their country being defeated by a woman in Yueliang country, these hateful people of Yueliang country refused to let him look at his dream goddess again in the end, he would bombard this land sooner or later, you wait and see!

The people of Yue Liang naturally would not know that he was planning to bombard Yue Liang Country in his heart, even if he knew, it didn't matter, as long as he didn't fight now, they needed this kind of short-term peace.

The smooth departure of the Corsi people made the entire Liang breathe a sigh of relief.

As a result, cleaning up Lunan Province was put on the agenda.

I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated by local officials in order to protect himself when investigating the case in Lunan, and the bold act made the emperor angry, and the officials of Lunan Province began to be swept to the end from the political envoy, Prince Rui led the prince to personally lead the troops to defend the town, and began to clean up the entire Lunan, and by the way, extinguished the remnants of the Blood Yin Sect that began to come out because of natural disasters. When people got used to the emperor's gentle and benevolent style, a large-scale bloodbath finally reminded them of the monarch who smiled all day long, but he killed all his brothers and killed his own father in the palace.

Lunan Province did not stop operating because the local officials were pushed to the end, the main officials were in place immediately after the promulgation of the holy decree, and the secondary officials were all in office within a month, and the lightning speed made many people suspect that the emperor's bloodbath had been planned a long time ago, otherwise why did the front foot just pat the magistrate, and the successor on the back foot would have taken office.

Everyone in Liang Duzhong who was related to Lunan began to tremble, for fear that they would be implicated.

In the weird atmosphere, the seriously injured prince's injuries improved little by little, but he still closed his doors.

Prince's Mansion.

In a heavily guarded dormitory.

Liang Yi wore a middle coat, raised his head with soft pillows, and half sat and half lay on the brocade bed. Because of the massive blood loss, until now, he is still pale. He pursed his lips and remained silent.

On the edge of the gorgeous brocade bed, there was a chair with a chicken wing wood carved cloud sea swimming dragon, and Liang Shuo sat on it, looking at him lightly.

Liang Yi's bedroom is the same as his person, clean and simple, clear and bright. There are no superfluous ornaments in the room, and the lighting is excellent, and even Liang Shuo likes the brightness of the sunlight shining through the window paper in his room.

The father and son were silent for a long time, Liang Shuo looked at him and asked in a low voice:

"Do you have to hesitate?"

"No, I didn't hesitate." Liang Yi finally opened his mouth, he raised his head, his eyes were firm, and he said to him seriously, "Father, I don't want to step on my brother's corpse to ascend the throne. ”

"There's nothing wrong with taking care of flesh and blood, but when people are used by ambition, they will become no different from beasts, or even more despicable than beasts, and at that time, they won't treat you as a brother."

"I can't control what they think, but I can't kill my brother."

Liang Shuo laughed: "So, are you going to wait for their conscience to find out, or wait for them to come over one by one to get your sacrificial knife?" ”

Liang Yi was ridiculed by his father, his father's words sounded a little harsh, he didn't know what to say, complicated, and a little ashamed, he lowered his head.

"Ah Yi, I didn't say that you should kill your brother, you are all my sons, and I don't want to see each other as your father. But you have to understand that it is a sin to condone yourself, and you are not qualified to take over a country if you cannot submit to your own brother, and you cannot use your brother. If you can't think of a solution, you will only be indecisive and use 'family affection' as an excuse to cover up your weakness, and you will not be able to become a real emperor. (To be continued.) )
