This is the first time that the regent has taken the initiative to mention this eldest son after Gong Xiangxiao left the regent's palace.

Lu pursed his lips and said first: "The father wants the son to die, and the son has to die." In any case, Shou Ninghou is the prince's beloved son, and how the prince treats him is as it should be! ”

habitually provoked the relationship between the regent and Gong Xiangxiao, and then she continued, "Although the concubine is not sensitive, she also knows that she is not as good as the daughters of Ji, Luo, Meng, Yin, and Ouyang in terms of talent and appearance. was able to serve the prince back then, but it was only by relying on his father-in-law. In this case, how could the concubine expect that she could really control the prince? The reason why Shou Ninghou has gradually abandoned the prince over the years is, in the final analysis, this is the prince's own meaning. ”

"Shou Ninghou is young and ignorant and doesn't understand, but how can the concubine not understand?"

Lu sighed, "The prince is not a person who covets beauty, and the backyard has always been clean all these years is an example...... How can you be bewitched by the concubine and disgusted with the eldest son who was born from his loving wife when he was a teenager? ”

But over the years, the world, including Gong Xiangxiao himself, has felt that the regent has become a stepfather when he has a stepwife, and it is unpleasant to look at Gong Xiangxiao everywhere.

It can be seen that this was deliberate by the regent.

The regent looked at him a little strangely, and said, "So you know everything? That's strange, Lone began to arrange a retreat for Xiao'er so long ago, it is natural for you to see that he is not pleasing to the eye, but why let Zhen'er stay in the house and not say anything, and now he still wants to push him to show up? ”

Gong Xiangzhen is Lu's own flesh and blood.

Over the years, Lu's love for him has also been sincere.

Knowing that the future is unpredictable, even the regent himself has no confidence, so he arranged a way for Gong Xiangxiao to survive in advance, and the Lu family himself is willing to follow the regent to share weal and woe, and the regent is very surprised, let alone his son is willing to take it?

"If the prince is successful, Zhen'er will go out to help you now, needless to say, the future will not be mentioned." Lu Shi smiled, walked to his side to refill tea for him, and said softly, "If the prince fails, even if Zhen'er has been hiding in the mansion, even if the prince sends him away quietly, what will happen to him as an eleven-year-old child in the future?" To put it mildly, even if you die in any corner, the concubine doesn't know. Instead of stealing a living, it is better to fight vigorously! ”

Seeing that the regent was looking at her with a playful gaze, her mind turned and she smiled, "What the prince knows, the concubine is just a righteous daughter accepted by her father-in-law, and she was born from a humble background in her early years. ”

"But with the prince's background, it may be difficult to imagine how cold the concubine's background is."

Lu said slowly, "The concubine was too young when she was taken in by her father-in-law, and the specifics are not that she can't remember clearly, but she can't and dare not think about it. Did you know? After the concubine became a righteous daughter to her father-in-law, the reason why she was beaten the most was to steal food. Although the concubine knew that there was enough food and would not starve, she still couldn't help it...... Zhen'er is too young, and she has no experience in keeping it in the house. The concubine didn't think that he was sent away by the palace at this time, and he would be able to live well without the protection of the two of us in the future. The concubine does not doubt the loyalty of the people under the prince, but the world is unpredictable, what if the loyal person is separated from him? What if something goes wrong with a faithful person? At Zhen'er's age, even if he stuffed him with a bunch of gold beads and jade, it was just a rush. ”

"Although the concubine is humble, the prince is the blood of the Divine Sect, and Zhen'er is also the upright bloodline of the Gongxiang clan."

"Even if he loses, he should lose frankly and honestly, and he will die in the history of the Qing Dynasty, instead of coming and going without a trace, and even he will live among the people and be insulted by those people in the countryside!"

"......" The regent was silent for a long time before chuckling and said, "Lone actually only learned about the heart of the concubine today. ”

Lu asked: "Did the prince Xu Zhen'er show up?" ”

But the regent did not give a clear answer, only said: "Think again." ”

…… When Lu returned to his room, he felt that his underwear was soaked.

She exhaled softly, and ordered to prepare hot water to bathe and change clothes.

Soaking in the bathtub sprinkled with flower petals and feeling the soothing of the hot water on the skin and body, Lu Shi relaxed a little, but was immediately startled by the familiar footsteps coming from behind the screen, and subconsciously tensed again.

"Don't worry, princess, it's the servant who is here to serve you to bathe." A calloused hand reached out from behind, lifted a wooden scoop, scooped up a spoonful of petal water, and poured it over her shoulder, and the voice was very light, listening to it like a smart and lively maid.

But Lu stiffened for a moment before he came back to his senses, and his voice was hoarse due to nervousness: "I have already told the prince what you said just now, but I can't be sure what the prince will think and do." ”

The maid smiled softly: "Don't worry, the maid said early in the morning, you just need to do what the maid tells you, and you don't need to take care of the rest." ”

Lu Shi was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "What will happen to my son then?" ”

"The little prince is only ten years old, and His Majesty has always been generous, so he is naturally better than the Marquis of Tongshou." The maid said firmly, "Naturally, this has to be done by the prince, and it is not very angry with Your Majesty." Otherwise, it would be thunder, rain and dew. The mother is smart, and she must not have to be verbose. ”

Lu Shi shouted with some excitement: "How can this be fair?!" Gong Xiangxiao's cheap maid didn't do anything, just a fuss, and finally became a marquis, my son...... My son is young and innocent, and I, the mother, sold my father-in-law and husband for him, why are they all marquises?! Moreover, if Gongxiang sends someone who is really distressed, it is clearly Gongxiangxiao! If he does something that angers His Majesty in the future, shouldn't he be punished by Gong Xiangxiao?! ”

Why do you want to take her son out of anger?!

"The princess is not impatient." The maid soothed softly, "Don't forget, I am not the grandson of the Empress Dowager today, but I have some respect for the Empress Dowager...... Over the years, the Marquis of Shouning has been under the knees of the Empress Dowager, but the little prince has been living in a simple place, and since he landed, he has not even asked the Empress Dowager to say goodbye! You said that when the palace building is about to collapse, who will the Queen Mother protect? ”

Lu pursed his lips and said hurriedly: "But this is the prince's ......"

"Yes, the prince has never let the little prince go out, we all know about it." The maid said lightly, "But why is that? As the princess's pillow person, shouldn't she even know this? ”

"......" Lu said reluctantly, "Maybe it's because my son has been weak since he was a child......"

The maid laughed: "The princess is really joking, the little prince is only ten years old this year, and he looks like he is riding and shooting, so he still says that he is weak, so these people, don't they have to choke their breath anytime and anywhere?" ”

These words made Lu's heart feel cold even when he was in the steaming bathtub.

The maid behind her had been serving her for many years, and suddenly opened her mouth to envelop her on behalf of Chunjia, how could she be persuaded by a few words?

But the maid knew Gong Xiangzhen's situation well, which made the Lu family have to consider, if he refused, would Gong Xiangzhen be able to live well?

She has been camping for all these years, and she is such a son......

And what the maid said is also very right, no matter how Gong Xiang Ruozhi is considered to be the emperor's younger brother, it didn't work out in the end.

Chunjia is not in other capacities, he is the heir of filial piety.

Let the men of the whole world judge, who will choose to let the brother inherit the family business if he has an heir?

In particular, the regent and Xiaozong are not the same mother.

The holy decree of canonizing the emperor's younger brother failed to come down, and when the regent mentions it again, it is difficult not to question that he just wants to usurp the throne, and he is very much an uncle who bullies his nephew.

The main supporter of the palace, Gu Fangshu, is now difficult to protect himself, not to mention that since the Gu family became a descendant, the relationship with the palace has become estranged...... Although the Lu family still had the hope of what would happen in his heart, he intellectually understood that it might be difficult for the public to turn the tables if he sent it.

Unless Chunjia has a good one.

Otherwise, according to the steps and patience of this Son of Heaven since he came to power, he would not give the regent any chance at all.

Instead of waiting for Chunjia to get everything ready and give the palace a blow to kill, it is better to take the initiative to surrender to the past, although I am sorry for the regent in doing so, but I can save the public Xiangzhen, so I can leave a little blood for him, right?

Lu was half-persuaded and half-coerced into the water.

Even if she regretted it at this time, it was too late, she calmed down and said in a low voice: "That may be because of the poison in the palace." After all, the grievances between the prince and the Ji family have never been shallow...... He has two sons under his knees, Gong Xiangxiao as His Majesty's companion, and has been in and out of the palace for many years, if Zhen'er also often enters the palace, what if one day the two children are gone, what if we are called husband and wife? ”

The maid smiled and said, "Is the princess a fool to be a servant?" Didn't Shou Ninghou just go out, and he didn't see the little prince show up? ”

“…… I do not know. Lu Shi felt that his throat was a little dry, and he swallowed his saliva before he could speak out, and said in a low voice, "I also mentioned this matter two years ago, especially after Gong Xiangxiao left. But the prince said that Zhen'er was young, and his schoolwork was not outstanding. If you go in front of people at this time, everyone will praise a few words politely at most, and there is nothing to be a blockbuster. I think it makes sense, so I listened to the prince, and urged Zhen'er to work hard day and night, thinking that when he was successful in his studies, it would not be too late to go out with the prince to learn more. ”

She asked, "Isn't it......?" Did the prince lie to me? ”

The maid chuckled: "The princess is the wife of the prince, you don't know anything about it, how can the maid know?" ”

She helped the Lu family wash it with her hands and feet, walked to the side and wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and said without raising her head while wiping: "The prince has been resting in the study for the past two days and has not come to the backyard, which is not good." The more times like this, the more the princess should be happy to comfort the princess...... Even if the prince refuses to come to the backyard, you should send some soup to the prince to show your concern? ”

If it's just a simple soup, Lu didn't make it before, and it doesn't matter, but ......

This maid must not be so simple when she says this now.

Lu subconsciously grabbed the edge of the bath barrel and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?" ”

The maid said slowly: "There is a bottle of medicine under your dresser, and you don't need more, just a little bit at a time." ”

“…… Do you want me to take the prince with my own hands?! Lu Shi took a cool breath, subconsciously pressed his chest, and said in a hurry, "No...... I...... I don't ......."

"Princess, please think about it." The maid turned around, walked slowly in front of her, and said softly, "Your Majesty has not touched the Regent's Mansion in the past two years, it is absolutely impossible to forget!" After all, His Majesty is pro-government, and he has more than a dozen heirs under his knees, how can he still need an ignorant regent in the court?! Now that Wei Changkong is given an official, it is obvious that he wants to attack the Regent's Mansion! Now under the hands of the prince, there must be many people who are thinking about how to get into the eyes of His Majesty! But His Majesty is merciful after all. The regent does not think about the relationship between uncle and nephew, and is ambitious, but His Majesty has always valued the family affection. ”

Without giving the Lu family too much time to think about it, she immediately tempted, "Didn't the princess just say that the little prince has all kinds of merits made by your own mother, and it makes no sense that he is still the same as the Marquis of Shouning, only in the position of marquis?" In that case, there is now an opportunity to inherit the throne in front of you, and you really want to turn it down? ”

"As long as the regent is gone, the Marquis of Shouning has broken with the palace, and the prince has a total of two male heirs. This prince does not belong to the little prince, who else can it belong to? ”

"Of course, the little prince will definitely not be able to inherit the position of regent, and that is also a life talisman."

"But even if it's the prince before the regent, can't he satisfy the mother?"

"I ......" Lu's heart was numb, she only felt that her mouth was dry, her fingertips were a little trembling, since she gave birth to Gong Xiangzhen that year, she was thinking about how to squeeze out Gong Xiangxiao and let her son take the throne.

Now this title is only one step away from their mother and son, this ......

The maid seemed to see her entanglement, and gently persuaded: "Besides, Niangniang's move is not to be unfavorable to the prince, the prince can't see the situation clearly, and he has to use his mantis arm as a car, he is destined not to have a good end, not to mention, even with Hefu has no future!" The most aggrieved thing is that if the prince is really confused, he will pay it back. But what did the prince do and send Shou Ninghou away? Isn't this obviously a sign of genuine love and concern or Shou Ninghou, but he sat back and watched you and the little prince accompany him to Huangquan?! Niangniang has been worried about it for many years, and the prince has given his life to the eldest son of Yuan Peiyan, but he has given the way to death to you and the little prince, are you willing? ”

"Now that you have made a decision, it is just to sacrifice the prince and save the mansion. Speaking of which, the prince had no way to live, you just protected the palace as much as possible, and by the way, you preserved the prince's name, right? ”

Lu's heart was pounding, she felt her thoughts tumbling, and she didn't know what she was thinking for a while, so she only subconsciously asked, "What if...... The name of the prince...... It's true......? ”

"Your Majesty is kind." The maid smiled, leaned close to her ear, and said softly, "It's like Ji's, how can there be less mourning?" Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Minghui is such a foolish person, isn't she still doing golden branches and jade leaves? Your Majesty is tired of an old man like the regent who doesn't know what to do, how can he be angry with the innocent little prince? If the regent is gone at this time, Your Majesty will have to pity the little prince for not having the support of his father at a young age, can he still give you orphans and widows grace? Don't forget, Your Majesty was also an orphan and widow who came to the imperial capital, as the so-called sympathy for the same disease, how could Your Majesty not show mercy to his subordinates? ”

Lu Shi opened her mouth slightly, the thick white mist blurred her expression, and after a while, she said with some gasp: "You...... Stand down! I'll think about it! ”
