Chapter 126
Liu's fingers trembled uncontrollably.
If something happens to the prince, the emperor is afraid that his life will not be long in coming, and King Jing will do it soon, Jiang Sumei warned her like this at the beginning, and she and the prince have been doing a good job, but I didn't expect that it would be impossible to prevent it!
She sat down, stood up again, sat down again.
Mother Chen coaxed Princess Yueyi and whispered to Liu: "Niangniang should go on a trip." ”
"yes, I should go." Liu nodded and stood up.
The weather in early autumn is not cold, but the wind is blowing on the face at this moment, and there is a kind of cold that is frozen to the bones, Liu clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, and secretly said that she must not let King Jing get her wish, even if the relationship between her and the prince is exposed, she cannot let the prince fall into the trap!
Although this is very dangerous, there are always variables, but let King Jing succeed, the result is doomed.
She hurried away.
Now, the prince knelt on the ground, and in front of him was a piece of snow-white porcelain.
The emperor glared at him viciously, blood was about to spurt out in his eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "Hello, the wings have grown stiff, and you know that you have colluded with the forbidden army!" Why, you just want me to die so much? ”
The prince said bitterly: "Father, although the son is familiar with Ji Xisan, he has never communicated with him!" He slowly raised his head and looked directly at the emperor, "Father, do you really think that your sons are so stupid?" If this is the case, will the retainer put the letter in the palace and not destroy it? ”
The emperor snorted: "Maybe you're too proud!" ”
The crown prince was sad: "Father, in your heart, the son is this kind of person!" He raised his eyebrows and said, "But father, if you want to talk about evidence, how can you prove that this letter was written by Ji Xisan?" ”
The emperor sneered: "I know you won't admit it, someone has been sent to torture Ji Xisan, and there will be results soon!" Look at it for yourself. ”
He threw the letter to the prince.
When the prince picked it up, his face changed greatly.
He only knew that this letter probably said that he hinted that Ji Xisan wanted to help him, but it turned out that the letter was written in such detail, which meant that he wanted to take advantage of the emperor's serious illness and put him to death, as soon as the emperor died, he, as the crown prince, would naturally inherit the unification.
After reading it, the prince was drenched in cold sweat on his forehead.
No wonder my father was so angry!
He gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Ji Xisan would never say that, and his sons have never revealed such meanings, and he asked his father to find out!" ”
The emperor looked at him, but he was very calm, not like those who had done bad things, but since he got sick, he was irritable and couldn't calm down, and soon said angrily: "It's not you, Ji Xisan dares to say that?" How many heads does he have? Aren't you afraid of the Nine Clans? ”
As he was talking, Zhao Gui said outside: "Your Majesty, the queen mother is here." ”
The emperor frowned: "Please go back first." ”
But the Liu family had already arrived, knelt down at the door and said: "The concubine knows about this, and please ask the emperor to think twice, the concubine dares to take the head and guarantee that Zhongyu will never do such a thing!" Your Majesty, the prince is filial piety and deference, generous and benevolent, known to the whole dynasty, how can the emperor not know? ”
The emperor was stunned and looked at Liu: "Do you know what he did wrong?" ”
"The concubine only knows, someone must have slandered her!"
"He's going to kill you and Wu'er, and he's going to kill me!" The Emperor slammed his slam on the table, gasping and saying, "Can I still tolerate him?" Such a rebellious son is really an unforgivable sin! ”
Liu was shocked, King Jing was so vicious, he actually charged the prince with this crime!
Ignoring etiquette, she stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you really make the concubine feel cold today!" ”
Her tone was cold, with disdain, but also with great disappointment.
The emperor looked at her incredulously: "What did you say?" ”
"I said, the emperor made the concubine feel cold!" Liu stepped over the threshold and walked in, and said with a frosty face, "The emperor only relied on a letter to determine that his son was guilty, or a great crime of rebellion, and in the future, he will definitely be able to kill his concubine and even Wu'er with a letter!" How can a concubine not be chilled? The wise and fair emperor in the concubine's body and mind has changed, if the emperor insists on asking the guilt, if the concubine body is also asked to ask the guilt, so as to save the future suffering, Wu'er is also, he is not Zhongyu to the end to honor the emperor for more than ten years, not to say a letter in the future, just a sentence, I am afraid that all family affection can be erased, why bother! ”
The emperor's body was shocked, and his eyes stared at Liu, as if he didn't know her.
But it seems so familiar.
In the palace, only Liu dared to question his actions, whether it was before or now, she was still the woman he fell in love with at first sight!
But he is always the king of a country, and when he was so reproached by the Liu family, he naturally couldn't pull his face, and said angrily: "Do you know what you're talking about!" ”
"The concubine naturally knows." Liu Shi first impressed the emperor with his words, and then he took retreat as advance, knelt down and kowtowed again, "The concubine is just sad and indignant, so she said crazy words, but the emperor, think about how you and Zhongyu have gotten along for more than ten years, and he will treat you like this?" He is your own son, and even his concubine is not as close as he is to you! The concubine doesn't believe in this, the prince will have malicious intent towards the concubine and Wu'er, why would the emperor believe it? ”
When the emperor heard her words, he was really confused.
If you want to say that this letter is easy to believe, it is naturally Liu, after all, she has no blood relationship with the prince, and the credibility of the prince to harm her and Zhu Zhongwu is relatively high, but Liu didn't believe it at all, and helped the prince intercede.
Could it be that he is really wrong to blame the prince.
As soon as he thought about it a lot, his head was a little dizzy, and he said impatiently: "Forget it, you all go down first, but Zhongyu, don't try to escape, this matter has not been investigated, you still can't be innocent!" ”
The prince raised his head and said: "Erchen has no idea of escaping, Erchen's heart is like a bright moon, there is nothing to fear!" ”
The Emperor was stunned, and after a moment, waved them back down.
Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that the prince would be arrested and thrown into prison, then next, the emperor's illness might worsen, if King Jing acted quickly, she was afraid that she would also be held hostage.
"Thank you just now, Queen Mother!" The prince bowed to her and thanked her.
Liu smiled comfortingly and said: "What is polite between our mother and son, fortunately, your father is not too confused, and he listened." ”
The crown prince was not optimistic about the prospects, and frowned: "The queen mother can see clearly just now, my father is really a different person, I am afraid that the medicine that Imperial Doctor Li gave to my father is toxic, although it can prolong life, but it has a very bad effect." ”
Yes, it turns out that such a smart person is really right and wrong now!
Liu said: "It's a pity that we can't startle the snake, besides, even if we try to persuade your father not to take Imperial Doctor Li's medicine, I'm afraid that he won't, according to today's situation, maybe he will still suspect that we don't want him to live a few more days, after all, only Imperial Doctor Li can heal him." ”
That's a tricky question.
While they were troubled, King Jing was also worried.
It was originally a smooth sailing thing, but the result was unexpected, because of Liu's appearance, the emperor did not immediately hold the prince accountable for a while and let the prince go, which disrupted his plan.
"Could it be that this queen is really with the prince's family?" Zhou Yun, the strategist beside him, said, "It's really strange, the prince stepped down, can these four princes become the prince, why should Niangniang stop it?" ”
King Jing's brows were also furrowed.
His purpose was to make the fourth prince the crown prince, but now he couldn't do it, he secretly thought, if the Liu family really treats the prince as a son, it will be difficult! Although the emperor has four sons, the four princes are obviously the most suitable, he is the future king, and the hundred officials will not talk much.
Zhou Yun slapped his thigh: "If the prince doesn't send troops, anyway, the emperor is confused, what can he manage?" Kyoto is under the control of the prince, who dares to say? ”
"Nonsense!" Another strategist, Jin Zhaoshan, said, "If the prince thinks so, why drag it out until now, you can't be defeated!" According to the villain, if the prince goes to test the queen's mother, as long as the mother cooperates, the result will be twice the result with half the effort. ”
Zhou Yun looked at him: "Then what if the mother refuses?" ”
"Then naturally...... Jin Zhaoshan put his hand on his neck, "that is to force the prince." ”
King Jing's face was gloomy: "Don't say it, you need to be cautious in this matter!" ”
The counsellors shut up.
King Jing couldn't sleep at night, he had always been far-sighted, and he had endured for many years for the ideal that was now at his fingertips, but this time it was not so smooth, he had a faint bad premonition, and his life goal might be dying here.
Do you want to do it right away?
Or wait?
Jiang Nianmei turned over and asked softly, "What is the prince's heart?" ”
Under the moonlight, her complexion was still moving, King Jing reached out and touched her face, sighed and said: "This king doesn't know, but he is restless, Nianmei, you know my mind, now at the critical moment, what should I do?" ”
Jiang Nianmei thought for a while and said, "Why don't you let the concubine go and talk to the queen?" ”
King Jing shook his head: "It's easy, what the queen thinks, we don't know anything, we must not be impulsive, and ruin the plan." ”
Jiang Nianmei stretched out her hand and put her hand on King Jing's waist, leaned over and encouraged: "In fact, the wisdom of the prince cannot be compared to others in his life, so why bother to mess with himself?" Maybe nothing, everything went well! ”
King Jing smiled, bowed his head and kissed her: "I borrowed your auspicious words." ”
But he still didn't feel sure.
This feeling was finally confirmed the next day.
King Jing came together in the morning, just had breakfast with Jiang Nianmei, and was about to go to the palace, but saw Zhou Yun running over with a sweat, walked to him, and lowered his voice again: "Lord, Lord, then Yu Wenshu led 60,000 soldiers back to Kyoto!" ”
King Jing was shocked.
Jiang Nianmei heard it from behind, and the cloak she was holding in her hand also fell to the ground.
At this juncture, he returned to the capital!
