Looking at the old lady of the palace with an uncertain face, and even a trace of a sinister poisonous glow crossed her eyes, Xu Zining inexplicably felt a chill down her spine, trembled involuntarily, and called out cautiously: "Old lady? ”

"Huh?" A slightly hesitant voice came into her ears, and the old lady came back to her senses.

Seeing Xu Zining's anxious appearance, the old lady of the palace suppressed the surging mood in her heart and said kindly: "Don't worry, in fact, the prince is also very satisfied with your daughter-in-law, but now he is in a stalemate with the court, and the prince is busy with affairs and has no time to go back to the house to prepare for the wedding in person, and the scene cannot be too extravagant and public, but the palace will never wronged you, and when the overall situation is calmed down, the old body will give you and Xiong'er another beautiful wedding gift, can Zining understand?" ”

"Being able to be by the old lady's side, Zining is satisfied, everything is up to the old lady." Xu Zining's voice was soft and slow, and there was no trace of unhappiness on his face.

"What a good boy who knows how to read and learn." The old lady of the palace nodded with satisfaction: "Later, the old lady will send someone to invite Lu Sanniang from the color clothing workshop to tailor a wedding dress for you, her craftsmanship is the best in Jiuyuan County, and the jewelry should be worn has already been prepared, you can wait to be the bride with peace of mind." ”

"Yes." Xu Zining responded shyly.

After repeatedly telling Xu Zining some things, the old lady of the palace got up and left with Xiangqin and Xiangling.

Xiangcui was already waiting at the door, and when she saw the old lady of the palace coming out, she hurriedly greeted her and whispered: "Old lady, the slave maid carefully checked the wooden box, except for a set of medium-value jewelry and a medical book, there is nothing unusual. ”

"Did Miss Xu really send a letter?"

"The slave asked the housekeeper, it was indeed Miss Xu who asked the housekeeper to send a letter from the guard, and Miss Xu's father did have injured his leg and was recuperating."

"Even so, we still have to take strict care of that Li Xue, and we can't let her escape, and we can't let her meet Miss Xu." The old lady of the palace had a gloomy and gloomy face, and her eyes flashed with a cold and gloomy light: "In addition, send someone to check the details of Li Xue, and at the same time surround that mountain village, and never let anyone ruin my plan." ”

"The slave obeys."

"Also, send someone to inform the prince, and say that I have news of the son." She wants to see if only Yingjie is the most important in her son's heart?

"Yes."

The old lady of the palace, who returned to the courtyard, ordered Xiangqin and Xiangling to stay at the door and walked into the inner room.

The doctor who was tinkering with bottles and cans in the secret room heard the sound, hurriedly stopped the affairs in his hand and rushed out, hugged the old lady of the palace, and his thin lips raged wildly on her lips and mouth.

"Don't ...... Now it's ...... White...... During the day...... "The old lady of the palace gasped and wanted to refuse to welcome.

Biting the tip of the old lady's tongue, causing her to tremble slightly involuntarily, the doctor pointed out: "It's just because it's daytime that it's more interesting!" ”

Soon, the two of them collapsed on the wide bed, hanging down like a veil of veil......

After some time, the fierce battle finally subsided, and the two of them sat down on either side of the table and whispered to each other.

"Miss Xu agrees?"

"Hmm." The old lady of the palace, who was physically and mentally comfortable, had a smug look between her eyebrows and eyes: "The date is set on the second day of the fifth month." ”

The doctor looked at the old lady of the palace with affectionate eyes: "I just know that my Hui'er is omnipotent, but what are you going to say about Yuan Hao?" ”

"Tell the old lady, the prince is coming here with two generals." Outside the house, Xiangling's slightly raised voice suddenly came.

The old lady glanced at the doctor, and the doctor was a little dissatisfied, but in the cold eyes of the old lady, she had to go to the secret room, and the old lady made up her makeup, walked to the main seat in the outer hall and sat down, took the hot tea from the parsley and tasted it elegantly.

After a while, Gong Yuanhao walked into the hall with Lei Fangqi and Feng Tiler.

Looking at the old lady Gong who was sitting on the throne drinking tea, keenly catching a few faint red marks on her neck, Gong Yuanhao naturally understood what it meant, coupled with the smell of a stranger in the room, he was originally suspicious of his mother's disloyalty to his father, but at this moment he completely believed that those rumors were true, so the haze in his eyes flashed, but he tried his best to restrain his shame and anger and said indifferently: "My son has seen my mother." ”

Lei Fangqi and Feng Tiler also knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Sit down." Putting the teacup on the table next to her, the old lady looked at her son, who had been carefully cultivated for decades, and her mood was a little complicated for a while.

Who knew that Gong Yuanhao was still standing, with no expression on his slightly tired face: "Mother really has news of Yingjie?" ”

"Of course."

"Where's Yingjie? Are there any injuries? Why didn't my mother send someone to bring Yingjie back safely? Gong Yuanhao looked so excited that he asked again and again.

The son has not cared about himself since he arrived, and he only has Yingjie in his heart, how can this not make the old lady of the palace feel resentful and angry?

"This is the housework of the palace, do you plan to make it known to everyone?"

Feeling a cold and vicious air coming towards him, Lei Fangqi suddenly felt a chill down his spine, the old lady was right, this is the prince's housework, he and the tiller still left well, so he glanced at the tiller, just as the tiller also looked at him, the two exchanged glances, and were about to confess and leave, when the voice of the prince suddenly came from his ear: "The two of them are the king's cronies, and there is nothing that cannot be known." "Now the two of them are not leaving, and they are not leaving, they are really in a dilemma.

The old lady of the palace looked stunned for a moment, and then became ugly, glared angrily at her son who had repeatedly rebelled against her, gritted her teeth and said: "If you want to know the whereabouts of Lu Dao Yingjie, you can, but the old body has one condition." ”

Since her son is no longer as obedient to her in everything as before, she doesn't mind tearing her face with her son to take what she needs.

"On what terms?" The cold and hard voice seemed to pop out from between Gong Yuanhao's teeth, anyway, Yingjie is also his mother's own grandson, not only did his mother actively rescue Yingjie, but now he actually exchanged Yingjie's news with him for conditions, so how could he not be disappointed in his mother, even desperate?

"My conditions are very simple, on the second day of the fifth month, the hero and Xu Zining will hold a wedding, and on the third day of the new year, I will handle the funeral for the hero, and the name will be buried in the ancestral grave in the family tree!"

"Ridiculous!" Gong Yuanhao was furious: "The dignified palace actually forced a woman to marry a dead man, this is going to spread out, how can the palace have face?" ”

"The hero is your own son, and he was killed by a traitor for the sake of your ambition and hegemony, as a father, shouldn't you give him a clear identity? Besides, Xu Zining is willing to marry a hero, how can he be persecuted? What about damaging the face of the palace? ”

Gong Yuanhao's expression was shocked: Xu Zining's girl he had seen, although she was born poor, she was beautiful and smooth, and she had extraordinary medical skills, how could she be willing to marry a dead man? Even if this dead man is the second son of the palace with his blood, he didn't admit it, did he?

Lei Fangqi and Feng Tiler were also unbelievable, but the two of them lowered their heads as if they hadn't heard it.

"This King ......"

Gong Yuanhao was about to oppose it vigorously, but suddenly felt that the hem of the left back coat was gently pulled, and he understood that the wind tiller was reminding him that if he couldn't bear it, he would make a big plan, so he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and at the same time, a certain thought appeared in his mind, and the timepiece came to his heart in an instant.

"Mother seems to have forgotten, everyone in the world knows that this king only has one son, Yingjie, and it was also the mother who made the palace hero to replace Yingjie in front of everyone, and attacked Liyang County at night as Yingjie, resulting in the annihilation of the 200,000 army, in order to stabilize the army's heart, the king has already informed the soldiers that Yingjie was captured by the nine princesses;

Now that my mother suddenly wants to hold a wedding for the palace hero and Xu Zining, and also declares that the hero of the palace in the world is the king's own son, doesn't my mother think this is too ridiculous?

At this critical moment when people's hearts are fluctuating and morale is unstable, once the soldiers know that there is no successor to this king, who else is willing to follow this king to regain the country? Is my mother's move trying to ruin years of hard work? ”

"This ......" The old lady of the palace was speechless when she heard this, what her son said was not unreasonable, but in this way, wouldn't her plan be in vain? So what do you want to do? Also, no matter what, the wedding of the hero and Xu Zining must be held as scheduled! ”

Gong Yuanhao was angry in his heart, but there was no trace of abnormality on his face: "First, when it was announced that when the night attack on Liyang County, the palace hero died to protect Yingjie, and the king thanked him for his savior's merit and received him as a righteous son, gave him the name of the palace hero, and held a wedding for them according to his last words and Xu Zining's wishes, but only a few cronies attended the wedding, and then gave him his name into the palace family tree and buried in the ancestral tomb of the palace family; Second, wait until this king ascends to the Ninety-Five Honor, and then announce the true identity of the hero of the World Restoration Palace, and at the moment must not reveal a trace of rumors to shake the hearts of the army, otherwise the military law will deal with it! ”

Ignoring his mother's blue and white face, Gong Yuanhao said in a resolute voice: "Mother wants to choose the former or the latter?" ”

This is the delaying plan that he, Fang Di, and Feng Tier came up with yesterday, as long as the doctor is eliminated, his mother will no longer be cranky.

The old lady of the palace had a gloomy face as if it was covered by dark clouds, this is the son she tried so hard to teach, it is really good! Don't think she's going to admit defeat like this, no one can stop what she's going to do!

"The first one!" Since her son is unfilial, then don't blame her for being ruthless! The time of the wedding is the time when she is in control!

Although he had guessed that his mother would be this choice, Gong Yuanhao couldn't help but feel pain in his heart: "Mother can now tell Wang Yingjie the news." ”

"Yingjie has arrived in the capital." After the old lady said that, she excused herself from being tired and asked Xiangling to send the three of them out.

Looking up at the warm sun shining on the earth in the clear blue sky, Gong Yuanhao breathed a long sigh of relief, Yingjie is fine!
