Chapter 553: The Cold Palace Is Not Cold (2)

A few taels of silver a year to subsidize the family, he is the only support of the elderly mother, if something happens to him, the mother must be very sad. Thinking about it this way, she also felt a little more pity for the lady who lost the prince, and she decided to send something to the lady herself later, and said a few words of relief by the way.

Zhan Meixiang closed her eyes and enjoyed the warm afternoon sun shining on her body, a tall shadow blocked all her light sources, Zhan Meixiang thought it was Zi'er going and returning, but when she opened her eyes, she saw Zhong standing in front of her.

Since Dongfang Che's death, Zhan Meixiang has not seen Zhong for a long time. In fact, seeing him before was just a few glances in a trance, because he always came and went without a trace, just like now.

Zhan Meixiang seemed a little surprised by Zhong's arrival, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Something?" ”

Zhong's face, which had been waiting for the emperor, was much haggard, but his eyes were still bright, and he nodded, "I have something to remind the queen mother below." Niangniang also heard just now that the two princes in the palace conspired to kill the little prince, so please ask the queen to protect the safety of herself and the prince. ”

Zhan Meixiang sighed, and felt that something was wrong, why did Zhong remind herself of this for no reason, she looked at Zhong and asked, "Why did you come to remind me of this?" ”

It stands to reason that he, the emperor's secret guard, doesn't need to remind himself of such a thing, could it be that Zhong was ordered by someone? But Zhong has always been loyal to Dongfang Che, and Dongfang Che has now passed away, and the incomprehensible thoughts are twisted together to make Zhan Meixiang feel a little strange, but she can't say anything at once. I just vaguely felt a little strange.

"Before the emperor died, he instructed his subordinates to protect the safety of the queen, and if there is any situation, it is natural to report to the queen." Tadashi stood where he was, his back straight as he said this.

In fact, he was also very helpless, when the emperor was "alive" again, he told the emperor about the prince, and the emperor did not first ask which little prince died, nor did he first ask which two princes killed his own siblings, but asked himself to remind the queen to be careful and safe. Well, who made the empress the most important person for the emperor.

So although Zhong is calm on the surface, for him, a person who has hardly told lies, the churning and uneasiness in his heart is known only to himself.

Fortunately, Zhan Meixiang did not continue to revolve around this topic, but asked about the situation in the court, after all, most of the secret guards of the Shadow Sect were dispatched back to protect the cold palace, and they must not be as thorough as Zhong to see the affairs of the court. She didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "What is the situation in the court now?" ”

Zhong sighed secretly, knowing that Zhan Meixiang would not care about the reason for her for the time being, so she knew everything about Zhan Meixiang's question.

"After the two princes conspired to kill the little prince, they were doing their best to win over the power of the ministers in the DPRK and China, trying to strengthen themselves, and everyone in the DPRK and China was in danger, and they didn't know which of the three factions they should belong to."

"Three factions? What are the three factions? Zhan Meixiang continued to ask.

"The two princes are each in their own faction, and the rest of the faction is naturally on the prince's side, they feel that they should still believe in the emperor's gaze and insist that the prince be the emperor."
