In the middle of the moon, Qingxi was still staring at the auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on the bed tent above his head, and couldn't figure it out.

How could Xiao Yizheng's attitude be so strange, close to warm people for a while, and cold as frost for a while.

Why did he reflect on his trip to the Northwest like this? Is there anyone you miss in the Northwest? What does this mean?

In the northwest, she has only one acquaintance: Zeng Qidao.

Could it be that he also knows Zeng Qidao?

Speaking of which, I don't know how good Brother Zeng has been in the northwest? The scenery in the northwest is really good, and there must be many delicious foods, so I really want to go and see if I have the opportunity.

As soon as she wanted to get out of the way, she also ran for the beautiful scenery and food. Xiao Yizheng's doubts left her were not in her heart.

To say, Ling Qingsong's perception of his precious sister is quite accurate: she lacks a string in the relationship between men and women, and she has never understood it.

The next day, a holy oracle came from the palace, allowing His Royal Highness King Heng to enter the palace to face the saint.

The gates of the Heng Mansion were opened after being closed for three days.

Xiao Zhe went down to the early dynasty to return to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Xiao Yizheng was already waiting.

He smiled and said, "Why didn't you rest for three days?" It's not good to look at this spirit. ”

Xiao Yizheng smiled apologetically: "I disappointed my father's kindness." ”

Xiao Zhe looked at him with a smile, sat down slowly, and motioned for him to sit too: "You are clever." ”

He lifted his robe and knelt down: "Father, the female official in the son's mansion heard that the dream involved the murder of the crown princess. At present, she is in the palace and can move the criminal department at any time. Erchen is also ready to personally ask the third brother for guilt. ”

Xiao Zhe was very calm, and waved his wide sleeves, "Get up and speak." ”

Xiao Yizheng also knew in his heart that the emperor had made a decision on this matter.

Sure enough, he had just gotten up and sat down. Xiao Zhe handed over the fold. He reached out and took it with a little puzzlement, and began to read it carefully, frowning slightly.

This is a self-reported crime of Concubine Nian. From planning, to buying, and finally executing, Concubine Nian took all the crimes.

As for how the fragrance of the red silk grass stained Moon Shadow, she only said that the female officials around her took advantage of the fact that many people at the banquet did it in private. Anyway, due to Xiao Yizheng's obstruction that day, the coat worn by Moon Shadow was not verified on the spot, so it makes sense.

And the reason why she did this is, in the final analysis, resentment. resents his years in the deep palace, and resents that Xiao Yizheng's lover outside the palace is in prison. Therefore, set off a storm to provoke the brotherhood between the prince and King Heng, and hit the emperor.

"The name of the leader who assassinated your daughter-in-law that day was Yu Shen. She is Concubine Nian's childhood sweetheart. After Concubine Nian entered the palace, the two lost contact. Two years ago, Concubine Nian returned to her hometown and province, and the two met again. Yu Shen saw that her life in the palace was unsatisfactory, so she tried to come to Shangdu and take refuge in your ninth uncle. Now, Yu Shen is a capital crime, and she is desperate. ”

Xiao Zhe finished speaking plainly, without a trace of emotional ups and downs. It seems that the person who caused such a storm for his first love is not his concubine, and he doesn't care so much about cuckolding the emperor.

Xiao Yizheng closed the recital, was silent for a while, and said: "Concubine Nian's resentment towards me should have been for a long time, but it is not just for this matter. ”

Xiao Zhe sighed and didn't refute. In his ears, the accusation of crying blood sounded in his ears: "I had a good marriage between the two lovers, but just because this face resembles a little bit of the person in His Majesty's heart, I ruined my life." When I first entered the palace, I also wanted to follow God's arrangement, so I sat in this palace. But you don't really like me, and every time you look at me, you're just looking for her shadow. The titles you gave me are all very sarcastic. Remember, never forget, hehe, you are afraid that the whole world will not know that you have her in your heart! I'm a stand-in for someone else all day long! But I've done something wrong! The queen is also pitiful, she has taken care of her son for so many years, and she has not received a word from His Royal Highness King Heng. Your Majesty, King Heng is her son, she should be more like her than me, why bother letting me enter the palace and take my life for nothing. You say, 'How can I not hate?' I hate you, and I hate that it's not enough to destroy me, but also to destroy the Hengwang couple who are really true to me! ”

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhe's eyes slowly closed, and his heart ached, and he couldn't bear to say anything more at that time. Just asked her, did you ever think about Xiao Qi. Concubine Nian was speechless, only tears seemed to be endless. How can you not think that even if looking at this child is like reminding yourself of this ridiculous life, she is a mother after all, and that is also a piece of meat in her heart.

"Xiao Qi is also His Majesty's blood and bones, I don't care what Your Majesty does with me, I just ask Your Majesty to treat Xiao Qi well in the future, so that he can live a stable life, it's enough." She was already in tears.

"Miss the concubine, it's also very pitiful." Xiao Yizheng's low words made Xiao Zhe come back to his senses.

He opened his eyes, and his voice was hoarse: "I can't help her." At that time, it had been two years since your mother died. On the southern tour that year, I also happened to see her, and I really thought it was your mother. The people below will do things by themselves, and I don't know where she belongs. With that, he coughed incessantly.

Xiao Yizheng hurriedly put down the concerto, served the teacup, and calmed him down: "Daddy, you have been coughing more frequently recently, what can the imperial doctor say?" ”

Xiao Zhe waved his hand: "It's okay, it's an old problem." He took another sip of water, moistened his throat, adjusted his breathing, and said solemnly: "This is the end of the matter." The prince has already read this self-report. He was benevolent, but he didn't say what he wanted to do with the concubine. ”

"But Father, that's not the whole truth." Xiao Yizheng grabbed the white road.

Xiao Zhe raised his eyes and looked at him: "Didn't you see that it was written: She intends to provoke your relationship with the prince?" What, you yourself want to hand the knife over? ”

"The third brother won't think of me like that. I'll be clear about the facts, and I'll be fine. But if it is concealed, if the third brother knows afterwards, it will give birth to mustard. ”

Xiao Zhe sighed and said earnestly: "What you said is good, but you are on the wrong side." ”

Xiao Yizheng's eyes were stunned.

"That's how it should be between brothers. But you and him are not ordinary brothers, he is the crown prince, the prince of a country, you are the prince, and you are above ten thousand. Your actions with him are not only personal, but also attract a lot of commentary. If this matter is reported to me and your Hengwang Mansion is involved, even if you and him know the inside story, they will not be able to affect the people outside. They will think, speculate, and even act. The human heart is always unpredictable, and everything changes. I don't want to leave anyone with a chance to make a fuss and make it difficult for your brother to do it in the future. ”

Xiao Yizheng frowned deeply, and asked in a deep voice: "Has my father ever thought about whether there is a second person behind this matter?" ”

Xiao Zhe's hands in front of his chest tightened, and he said calmly: "Except for the part about the girl in your house, Concubine Nian's other confessions were written by herself, and the logic was complete. I also sent someone to verify them one by one, and there is nothing wrong with them. You're too worried. He paused for a few seconds, and then said: "Although the crown princess and the fetus in her womb are fine this time, if she does something wrong, she will receive corresponding punishments." After a while, you will send the girl in the house away, and you will decide how to condemn him. In addition, the people in your house also take care of their mouths. ”

Xiao Yizheng was silent for a long time, but still stubbornly said: "Erchen still thinks that this should not be dealt with." Things could have been clear......"

Xiao Zhe began to cough again, and Xiao Yizhen could stop.

"Rokuro, do you know why I grounded you in the palace?" Xiao Zhe gasped and asked.

Xiao Yizhen smiled warmly: "Maybe my father not only wants to protect me, but also wants me to have a good rest." ”

Xiao Zhe nodded with satisfaction: "There is a deeper meaning." This time, in such a short period of time, you have made such a successful contribution to the affairs of the Southwest Army. Many of the people in the court are looking at the wind. When you return to Beijing this time, I am afraid that the threshold of your Hengwang Mansion will be stepped on by the people who visit Daohe. What do you think the people of the Prince's Mansion would think? ”

Xiao Yizheng was stunned, he really hadn't thought of this yet, "Third brother won't." ”

"I didn't talk about him, I said the guest ministers of the Prince's Mansion." Xiao Zhe got up as he spoke, and patted Xiao Yizheng's arm: "Liulang, I don't even care about telling Concubine Nian about another man's resentment, but I don't want the female officials in your palace to appear in this incident." It's all because I'm the king of a country. The people on this dragon chair need to put the country and the society first, and I will not allow anything that may be harmful to the stability of the country. ”

Xiao Yizheng opened his mouth and finally nodded.

Xiao Zhe smiled widely. "That Li Shao in your house has been dealt with?"

Xiao Yizheng was stunned.

Xiao Zhe chuckled and said, "Your daughter-in-law is really generous." She's so generous, you have to worry about it! He said, with an unteachable expression. I can tell you that your daughter-in-law has risked her life to help you. She knelt in front of me that day and said that she would go through the difficulties with you, and she was also very moved. Later, it took a lot of effort to lure your ninth uncle to the bait, it was not easy, you came back this time to accompany her more. ”

When Xiao Yizheng heard this, the corners of his mouth naturally rose, but thinking of Qingxi's hesitation and acquiescence last night, he felt bitter in his heart. He hurriedly opened his mouth and changed the subject: "The matter of Uncle Jiu, has the court made a conclusion?" ”

Xiao Zhe's smile gradually rose. "Your ninth uncle usually doesn't know how to restrain, but now he is in trouble, and there are few people who speak for him."

"Can't you keep him?"

Xiao Zhe frowned, not knowing if it was okay or not. "Your ninth uncle wants to see you, and tomorrow you will go to Dali Temple with me."

Xiao Yizheng nodded. He looked at Xiao Zhe's worried face, and said with relief: "No matter what, Daddy's body is the most important. The affairs of the court cannot be completed. ”

Xiao Zhe sighed: "The Southwest Protectorate is on the fold again." Danda blocked the trade route to the west, and several city-states outside the country found the capital protectorate. He frowned, glanced at Xiao Yizheng, and smiled gently: "Okay, since you have entered the palace, go and say hello to the queen." ”

Xiao Yizheng retreated. Xiao Zhe's smile slowly faded, and the worry crept up his brow again.

"Your Majesty, even if I promise you, what if I take all the charges? This is what happened, do you think the crown prince and the queen will have no waves in their hearts? Do you think that your precious Rokuro won't think if someone is angry and wants to frame him? This man is not a prince! After all, the crown princess is fine, and it is Princess Heng who is implicated. I'll block a game with you, and the last thing you want to see will happen sooner or later, believe it or not?"

Concubine Nian's fluttering words made Xiao Zhe, who was standing in the sun at the moment, feel the cold of winter.
