Chapter Twenty-Six: Are You Ready to Accept My Gift?
"Uncle, uncle, what should I do?!"
"What are you doing in a panic? How many times have you said it, be steady. ”
Taifu is the prince's own uncle, the queen's brother Fang Qingzhou, and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, for 20 years, he has devoted himself to cultivating the prince Murong Fu, hoping that he can become a generation of monarchs in the future and shoulder the world.
Fang Qingzhou looked at the chaotic prince and frowned, every time no matter what happened, Murong Fu was so panicked, he didn't look like a prince of a country.
"Uncle, you have to save me, I really don't know what to do this time!"
"If there's something, you sit down and talk slowly." Fang Qingzhou saw that Murong Fu's expression was indeed at a loss, and he also became serious, thinking that something might really be wrong.
"I have told the princess about the princess's younger brother, Qu Zening. A year ago, when I was playing in Jiangzhou Mansion, I tied up a woman on the street and went back......"
"Haven't you taken care of everything? What is it doing now? Where did he tie up a woman? Didn't I tell you to warn him to be more restrained, as the prince's wife and brother, he should pay attention to the prince's face when acting on weekdays. ”
"Originally, it was dealt with, but it was only said that the woman had an accident, and her family did not know the specific reason. But two days ago, the woman's mother committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake, saying that she missed her daughter too much and got madness, and then she ......"
"So what?"
It's just that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake, and Fang Qingzhou felt that his nephew was making a fuss.
The prince was a little hesitant, "It's nothing, but her mother's family has some backgrounds, the woman's grandmother always learned that her daughter threw herself into the lake, and asked the reason to know that her granddaughter committed suicide after being defiled, and her daughter also threw herself into the lake because of the heartache of losing her daughter." And then she found out about me......"
Fang Qingzhou stroked his beard and asked, "What is the origin of the old lady?" ”
The prince's face was a little red, and he lowered his head and whispered, "The old lady of the Dingguo Mansion." ”
"What?!" Fang Qingzhou stood up in shock, "Why didn't you say it beforehand?" ”
Fang Qingzhou felt a little dizzy, the first Dingguo Duke Shen Minchang, was the general of the first emperor when he was alive, and after the disarming and returning to the field, the first emperor was named the Duke of Dingguo, and the Mansion of the Duke of Dingguo was given to General Shen's hometown Jiangzhou Mansion, and the Duke of Dingguo was hereditary. And today's Dingguo Justice is the son of the former Dingguo Gong, and his wife is also the first-class lady appointed by His Majesty.
Fang Qingzhou never thought that this Qu Zening would be so bold that he even dared to tie up the granddaughter of Duke Dingguo.
"I ...... I didn't know in advance that the woman's maternal grandmother was the old lady of Dingguo! ”
"How the hell did you become a prince? Why didn't you investigate it in the first place? ”
The crown prince cried with a sad face, "It's too late to say this now, the excerpts of the Dingguo Mansion have already been sent to the palace......"
"What?!" Fang Qingzhou was really dizzy, his eyes were dark and he fell back and sat on the chair, he covered his chest and pointed at the prince and said tremblingly: "Confused! Confused! You're a brother-in-law, it's really harmful! ”
"Uncle, what should I do now?" Murong Fu looked at Fang Qingzhou's appearance, and his heart was extremely panicked.
"Alas! How could I teach you such a useless prince! Fang Qingzhou sighed, feeling unbearable pain in his chest.
"Now, you must clear up all your relations with Qu Zening, Your Majesty will definitely investigate all his affairs, and some of them will definitely involve you, no matter what Your Majesty asks you, you must deny it, you must not admit it, do you hear?"
"But after all, he is the younger brother of the crown princess, do I really want to do this?"
"Is your brother-in-law important, or is your position as the crown prince important!"
When Murong Fu heard this, the little bit of unbearability in his heart was finally discarded by him, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, his crown prince position must not be lost! As long as Qu Zening takes all the faults alone, then he can keep everything he has!
Back in the East Palace, the crown princess pulled Murong Fu crying and said, "Your Highness, you must save Xiao Ze!" The concubine only has this one younger brother, you must save him! ”
Murong Fu pushed the crown princess away irritably, "Crying, crying, annoying!" If your brother did something wrong, let him bear the consequences, what's the use of looking for this palace! ”
The crown princess was stunned, and then cried again: "His Royal Highness promised the concubine that he would save him before, why did he suddenly change his face now?" He's your brother-in-law! ”
"Brother-in-law? I don't have such a brother-in-law! ”
"Why does Your Highness say that?"
"This palace tells you that if I save your brother, my position in the East Palace will not be guaranteed! If you still want to be the mother of a country in the future, put away your tears and persuade your good brother for me, don't involve me, it's better to take care of everything alone, otherwise, you and I will not have a good life in the future! ”
When the crown princess heard Murong Fu's words, she stopped crying, but the tears on her face did not fade. The matter may be really serious, the queen's seat, she has been thinking about it for a long time, if she misses that position because of this matter......
No! No! She's going to be a queen! She wants to be the master of the harem!
Whoever tried to stop her from sitting in that seat couldn't! Even if it's his own brother!
The crown princess wiped away her tears and stood up, "The concubine will go now, and he will never let him affect His Highness!" ”
Murong Fu nodded with satisfaction, as long as Qu Zening was solved, then he would have no worries.
"South China, how are things going?" Murong Zhan's salty voice sounded.
"Back to His Royal Highness, the excerpt of the accusation has been sent to the palace, and Qu Zening has also been detained pending trial." Hua Nan knelt on one knee and reported things in a calm tone.
"What about the Prince?"
"The crown prince persuaded the crown princess to persuade Qu Zening and let him take care of everything alone."
Murong Fu sneered: "Heh, do you want to be alone?" ”
The matter of Jiangzhou Mansion was done by Murong Zhan, and he was also the one who made the obstruction in the first place, so Murong Fu did not find out the relationship between the woman and the Dingguo Mansion. Murong Fu thought that he had done something hidden, but as long as he did it, he would definitely leave a trace, Murong Zhan just made that trace more obvious, otherwise, the old lady of the Dingguo Mansion would not have found Qu Zening so easily.
It's just that it's not so simple for the prince to be alone, he has done too many things, and naturally there are more handles, and it is not much use to solve a Qu Zening alone.
"Are you ready to receive my gift for you?"
Murong Zhan stretched out his hand to catch a leaf that had been blown off by the wind, lowered his head and smiled, but the smile was cold and did not have any temperature.
"Your Majesty's dictation, Prince Murong Fu will enter the palace immediately to meet you."
Murong Fu's eyelids jumped, did his father call him to ask about Qu Zening? Didn't the crown princess already convince him? Didn't he say yes at all?
With apprehension, Murong Fu came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and as soon as he entered, a teacup fell on his forehead.
"Rebel! It's all a good thing you do! ”
Murong Fu knelt on the ground with a weak leg, "Father is angry!" Erchen knows his mistake! ”
"Heh, do you really know what's wrong? As long as the things you do on weekdays are not too excessive, I will turn a blind eye and pass, but you don't know how to restrain at all, and you also connived at your brother-in-law to rob the people's daughter, and even grabbed the head of the Dingguo Mansion, do you really not want to be the prince? ”
Murong Fu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "Father, the son really doesn't know that this is the granddaughter of the old lady of the Guogong Mansion!" That Qu Zening, Erchen has also advised him many times, asking him not to do those things again, but he is really hateful, relying on my identity to do evil outside, and Erchen is also a victim! ”
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
The eunuch outside loudly spread the word, and the queen Fang walked in briskly, she was wearing a red phoenix robe, and knelt next to Murong Fu.
"The concubine has seen Your Majesty. I don't know what crime Fu'er has committed, which has made His Majesty angry. ”
Murong Xuancheng glanced at Fang Qingling lightly and said, "Hmph! What a good son you taught! ”
Murong Fu glanced at Fang Qingling aggrievedly, his eyes full of pleading, "Queen Mother." ”
Fang Qingling took a deep breath, stood up and slapped Murong Fu, "Shut up!" You have done something wrong yourself, don't think I will intercede for you, hurry up and admit your mistake to your father! ”
Murong Fu covered his face and glanced up at Fang Qingling, his face was full of disbelief, but seeing Fang Qingling constantly glaring at him, he understood what the queen mother meant.
Lowering his head, Murong Fu admitted his mistake to Murong Xuancheng, "Father, the sons and daughters know that they are wrong, and they all blame the sons and daughters for not being strict, so this incident happened, and the sons are willing to be punished." ”
"Humph! You still know to admit mistakes! I thought you didn't take me seriously anymore! ”
"Where did Your Majesty say this, Fu'er is your son, naturally he always keeps His Majesty's teachings in his heart, then Qu Zening has already dealt with it, and the old lady has not pursued this matter again, Your Majesty will dissipate your anger!" Fang Qingling immediately stepped forward to appease Murong Xuancheng.
"That's it, it's over. However, if you are not strict, you will be fined for half a year, and you will be grounded, and you will not be allowed to go out without my permission. ”
Fortunately, Murong Fu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Erchen has the order." ”
Out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Murong Fu followed Fang Qingling to Yikun Palace.
"Fu'er, did the queen mother hurt you?" Fang Qingling looked at Murong Fu's face with some distress, and there were faint red marks on it.
"It hurts. The queen mother never beat me. Murong Fu covered his face.
"Alas, Fu'er, don't blame the queen mother for being ruthless, it's just that you did go too far this time."
"It's not me who insulted someone's granddaughter..."Murong Fu muttered in a low voice.
Fang Qingling glared at Murong Fu, "You dare to say it?!" It's not like you didn't take care of the people under you! That Qu Zening is the younger brother of your crown princess, and what he did with your reputation hurt your prince's face! ”
"I know, Queen Mother, my son will be careful next time."
"There is no next time!" Fang Qingling said sharply, "How many people are staring at you, but if you do something wrong, they will be held back, since you are sitting in this position, you have to bear everything that this position brings you." In the future, take care of the people under your hands, and you must not let people grab the handle again! ”
"Erchen knows!"
Fang Qingling looked at this unsuccessful son, and sighed in his heart, he was still not mature enough, and he was not decisive in doing things, if he didn't have her and her brother, he would not be able to be a prince a long time ago.
