"Actually allowing this poisonous concubine to do evil in the harem for many years is a mistake of the mourning family!" the queen mother sighed, "King Qi, the ground is cold, you should get up!"

"Empress Dowager Xie!" Liu Xu got up and glanced at Xu Sheng and Bicao, who were still kneeling on the ground, "What should the two of them do?"

"Although as the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty, Xu Sheng didn't know that his actions would kill the concubine, but the imperial hospital has the rules of the imperial hospital, and if you change the prescription without authorization, you are committing a big taboo!" The queen mother said, "However, you have already settled down in your life, and today you can still come out and expose the events of the year, which shows that you still have some conscience, but this does not mean that you have not done anything wrong." Now that the Northern Xia and the Western Wei are at war, since you have medical skills, are you willing to go to the battlefield to heal the wounded soldiers and atone for your sins?"

"Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager, the grass people are willing!" Xu Sheng kowtowed.

The Queen Mother glanced at Bicao and said: "You can be regarded as an awkward affair with your master, but if you have a little conscience, you will also have countless opportunities to save the concubine! You expose your master's crime today, not because you have any justice in your heart, but because you want to take revenge on your master's ruthlessness and injustice towards you! Although you have been instigated, you are also an accomplice. Capital crimes can be avoided, living crimes cannot be escaped, and they are assigned to the frontier, and they are not allowed to return to Beijing!"

"Yes!" Bicao kowtowed.

The Queen Mother glanced at Liu Xu: "As for the others, you can do it yourself!"

"Yes!"

"The mourning family is tired. The Queen Mother said, "Go back to Fengxi Palace first!"

Mama immediately helped the Queen Mother to get up and leave, and then the two guards entered and left with Xu Sheng and Bicao, and once again only Emperor Xuan and Liu Xu were left in the imperial study.

"Are you satisfied?" Emperor Xuan asked after a moment of silence.

"What about my father?" Liu Xu asked, "After all these years, has the knot in my father's heart ever been untied?"

Emperor Xuan didn't speak, just had a gloomy face.

As if he hadn't seen Emperor Xuan's face, Liu Xu smiled bitterly and said: "When Erchen was young, kneeling in front of his father's imperial study, he couldn't figure it out, how could his father, who used to like his mother so much, be so ruthless that he didn't even want to see her for the last time? Erchen didn't know that his father's heart knot for his mother was very untied, in fact, Erchen knew that now, he still couldn't figure out why his father was so cruel to his mother!"

Emperor Xuan glanced at Liu Xu coldly: "She has been beaten into the cold palace, what do you want?"

"Actually, she has a sentence that is right, the death of the mother concubine, the father and the emperor can't get rid of it!" Liu Xu said lightly, "The father doesn't trust the mother concubine, the mother fell out of favor, and then was drugged." It's just that the imperial doctor can detect the abnormality and secretly investigate, don't you, as an emperor, have you never suspected it at all? You may have known all the things she did, but secretly acquiesced. Because of the misunderstanding of the mother, because of the arrogance of the mother, your self-confidence as an emperor was hit, so you want her to disappear, right?"

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Xuan scolded coldly, "King Qi, don't try to challenge my bottom line. ”

"Erchen is just making a reasonable guess. Liu Xu smiled faintly, "Erchen can't imagine how much torture the mother concubine who was betrayed by her friends and abandoned by her husband before she died, and how tormented she was in her heart!"

Emperor Xuan stared at Liu Xu's eyes, Liu Xu looked back without showing weakness, and the dark tide was surging

After a long time, Emperor Xuan sighed and said, "I'm tired, you can kneel down." ”

"Erchen retires!" Liu Xu said and left the imperial study.

He did not leave the palace directly, but went to the palace where his mother used to live, which had been uninhabited since his mother's death. He never dared to come here before, but he knew that today, all the grievances and bitterness of his mother were known, so he had the courage to come here to take a walk and see.

Although the palace is uninhabited, it has been cleaned and repaired, and it seems that it still maintains the same appearance, but many of the utensils are old.

He seemed to see the mother concubine signing under the tree, he seemed to see the mother concubine in front of the bronze mirror to the mirror applique yellow, he seemed to see the mother concubine waving to him, and said with a smile: "Ah Xu, come to the mother concubine!"

"Mother, Ah Xu misses you!" Liu Xu looked at the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar palace and muttered, "I miss you so much! My son didn't have the ability to protect you back then, but now my son can protect you well, come back!"

There is a tall peach blossom tree in the yard, this tree was planted with his mother on his birthday, it was just a small sapling at the beginning, but now it is so luxuriant, but now it is autumn, but I don't know how brilliant the flowers on this tree should be when it comes to spring!

It's a pity that everything here can no longer be seen by the mother!

After staying here for a long time, knowing that it was dark, Liu Xu got up and went back to Qiushui Garden of King Qi's Mansion.

Mo Ziyu had been waiting for Liu Xu's news, and he didn't know what happened to the concubine he wanted to avenge his mother's concubine, and he didn't expect to wait until it was dark to wait for Liu Xu to come back.

She saw that Liu Xu's face was a little bad, so she stepped forward and asked worriedly: "What's wrong? Isn't the result very good? Is it that the witness turned against the water or did the Yun Guiren fight back? Or did His Majesty protect the Yun Guiren?"

Liu Xu shook his head lightly and said, "It's very smooth, Yun Guiren was demoted to a concubine and entered the cold palace." ”

Mo Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and said, "Then why are you depressed? Is it because His Majesty didn't execute her?"

"This king misses his mother...... concubine" Liu Xu hugged Mo Ziyu in his arms, "The relationship between people is too fragile, no matter how much they swore to the mountain before, no matter how much they were stronger than Jin Jian, maybe it was just a small misunderstanding, it could make the relationship between the two fall apart and resent each other." ”

Mo Ziyu was slightly stunned, wasn't he for his mother's concubine's case today, why did he have so many feelings, so he patted him on the back and comforted: "What happened?"

Liu Xu didn't answer her words, but hugged her tighter: "Liu'er, there will be no such thing between us, never!"

"Well, it won't. Mo Ziyu didn't know what he was talking about, but he sighed slightly and followed his words.

The fact that Yun Guiren was demoted to a concubine and sent to the cold palace still shocked the government and the opposition a lot, and made those officials who were still waiting to see the development after King Qin completely gave up King Qin's camp and switched to King Zhao.

And this news was naturally and inevitably spread to the Qin Palace.

At this time, because Shangguan Yu'er no longer rejected it, Liu Ling's mood stabilized a lot, although he was under house arrest in the palace, he still had no contact with those ministers outside, and he could communicate with them through letters and control their actions.

But the news of the concubine's accident still came so suddenly, he could already imagine that the turmoil outside had been completely abandoned by those people at both ends of the snake and rat.

However, Liu Ling did not feel disappointed because of this, because those who turned their backs on him would eventually kneel and beg him for forgiveness, and those officials who looked down on him would pay the price for their arrogance.

He had a secret weapon in his hand, which was left by Hou Qianhou.

When Qianhou had an accident, this secret weapon in his hand had not had time to be used, because of the betrayal of the red clothes that fell into his hands, and now this secret weapon is the biggest turning point for him to survive in the future!

Liu Ling's current mood is quite stable, he knows that the concubine being sent to the cold palace is only temporary, as long as he ascends the throne, waiting for his concubine to be the noble queen mother.

Shangguan Yu'er was still a little worried after hearing the news, but when she saw Liu Ling's usual look, she felt that maybe things were not as bad as she imagined, and she didn't want to spend her mind on other things, so she didn't ask about related things.

Moreover, King Zhao's injuries recovered quickly, and after healing, it was normal to go up and down the court, Emperor Xuan attached more and more importance to him, and handed over some of the government affairs that were handed over to King Qin before to him to deal with, which shows His Majesty's cultivation intentions.

And King Zhao's broad-mindedness, corporal courtesy, and benevolent reputation are still widely spread in the court, as if he is the next Ming Jun.

Such an atmosphere became more and more intense, which made Liu Xu a little dim in front of Liu Yu.

Autumn Water Garden.

"I don't know what Concubine Jiang asked me to come to?" said the Ninth Lady lightly.

She knew that she had offended Mo Ziyu a long time ago, so she no longer pretended to be docile, and exposed all her edges.

"Naturally, it's something you want to kill me. Mo Ziyu held the teacup, gently scraped the tea foam, and said lightly.

"Isn't Concubine Jiang confused?, why can't I understand what you're saying?" Mrs. Nine pretended not to know anything, "Concubine Jiang, what are you talking about!"

"Since you and I both know it, why bother doing it?" Mo Ziyu said lightly, "Since you came to Qiushui Garden today, I will kill you here, what can you do?"

"What do you mean!" Lady Jiu's face changed, "I am the wife of the Qi Palace, and I am the concubine of the prince, even the princess has no power to kill and kill, can you kill if you want to?"

Mo Ziyu raised his eyes and smiled lightly, and said, "Even if I kill you today, what do you think the prince will do to me?"

"The princess and the Yang family will not let you go!" Mrs. Nine said coldly, "It depends on the owner to beat the dog, I am also a member of the Yang family!"

"You also know that you are just a dog of the princess!" Mo Ziyu smiled slightly, "Since it is just a dog, killing it is just to apologize to the owner of the dog." ”
