This matter is quite big, and many people know about it, and after the old lady's mansion found out, he sent people to arrest the people.

But Su Wanyan returned home, and after Duanmu Rui understood the situation, he had already sent people to follow and protect him.

The old lady's people shouted that the group of people gathered to make trouble, and they wanted to take them away, and Duanmu Rui's people fought with them, and they were defeated by Duanmu Rui's men, so they could only leave.

When the people of the capital saw that their group of people were victims from the south, they did not dare to approach them, for fear of getting sick, and under the instigation of the old lady, some people even shouted at them to kill them, and wanted to drive them out of the capital, causing a great chaos.

The emperor knew about this, and the ministers represented by Qin Qingfeng were afraid that the emperor would suppress and kill the victims, so they persuaded the emperor to meet with these victims, so as not to cause dissatisfaction among the people of the world.

The emperor sent people to guide the people and tell them not to make trouble, but they still did not take care of the victims.

Under the close protection of Duanmu Rui's manpower, the victims reached the palace gate with difficulty, shouting to see the emperor and sue the emperor.

The emperor had no choice but to send officials to contact the matter, but the officials were also afraid of contracting the epidemic, so they did not dare to approach the people.

Duanmu Rui arranged the victims properly, wrote the content of their complaint into a document and presented it to the emperor, and the emperor only knew how Uncle Guo used the banner of the queen to provide disaster relief, so they sued not only Uncle Guo, but also the queen behind Uncle Guo.

And this matter not only involves the queen's mother's family, but also many local officials, of course, the most difficult thing for him to decide is the disposal of the queen's family.

Although he wanted to weaken their power, it was too wide-ranging, and basically half of the officials in the imperial court were inextricably linked to them, and if the punishment was too light, it would not be effective, and if it was too severe, it would lead to turmoil in the imperial court.

He couldn't make a decision, so he asked Duanmu Rui to appease the victims, promised to compensate them with generous profits, and asked them not to make trouble and return to their hometown as soon as possible.

And the matter of the disaster victims complaining about the queen's mother's family has already made a fuss in the capital, and some people and families who have been bullied by the queen's mother's family have also taken the opportunity to report their evil deeds to the top, and the ministers who used to stand on the side of the queen and the crown prince have also drawn a line with the power of the queen's mother's family when they see this situation.

Seeing this momentum, the emperor wanted to suppress it and it was no longer feasible, so he had to wave his knife to cut through the mess, focusing on rectifying the queen's brothers and the people who were officials in the family, few of them were clean, and they all found evidence of the demotion of the official, the demotion of the degraded official, the demotion of the degraded official, the uncle who went to the disaster relief was also beheaded to show the public, for the sake of the old lady's face, he did not copy their home, but cut the title, to this point, the queen's family was completely weak.

Although the protégés of the old Taishi and the officials who were attached to the Taishi could no longer move, the emperor also managed to suppress them.

At this point, the power of the relatives was completely weakened, and the maiden families of other concubines did not dare to come out again in a short time.

The queen was also imprisoned in Dali Temple, and was convicted by Dali Temple, and the prince saw that the forces he relied on collapsed, and he recently hid in the East Palace and did not dare to go out, and he was terrified in his heart, until the queen was also imprisoned, he completely lost his support, and did not know what to do.

In desperation, he went to see the queen in prison and wanted to ask her what to do in the future.

He saw that the queen had lost her former grace and luxury, without any jewelry on her head, and was dressed in the most simple dark clothes, as if she were several years old, and her face was already wrinkled.

He threw himself on his knees and cried, "The queen mother ......"

The queen smiled, remained dignified, and said to him: "I am no longer the queen now, and it is wrong for you to call it that." ”

The prince cried even harder, "Mother, what should my son do in the future?" Without you and uncles, my son really doesn't know if he can survive. ”

"It's time for you to grow up, it's time for you to do something on your own. Without us, you still have to keep the position of the crown prince, otherwise any prince will take the throne in the future, and you will only become a prisoner. ”

The queen's voice was very calm, even a little cold, she looked at the prince helplessly sad, this is her son, of course she is distressed, but at the moment she has no more time and mood to say that, she just wants him to stand on his own feet quickly.

"After experiencing this incident, you should also understand that no matter how great the power is, it may disappear in an instant, your grandfather and grandfather, there are still several generations above, how many years have it taken to establish today's Hou Mansion, and there is today's huge power, but what is the use of this, as long as the emperor wants to, he can immediately deprive everything of it. Therefore, you can only save yourself by sitting in that position, and your mother can be at ease even if she dies underground. ”

The crown prince had forgotten to cry, as if he was thinking about the meaning of the queen's words.

"Fortunately, your father has never given up on you, you must cherish the opportunity, learn from your father and ministers about governing the country, and stop spending all day drinking and not doing business."

The prince remembered his previous actions, and only felt regret, and tears flowed down his cheeks again.

"You have to remember what my mother said, and don't come to see me again in the future, you know?"

The prince cried and said, "Mother, the sons will come again, the sons were ignorant and failed to live up to your expectations, and the sons will learn well in the future." ”

The corner of the queen's mouth hooked a sad smile, "Don't come again, your mother can't give you anything when you come, be obedient, don't really come again in the future, don't worry about your mother, and don't mention it in front of your father." ”

The crown prince understood that the queen wanted him to dissociate himself from her, so as not to affect his future in the future, and he never went again.

The queen finally confessed to the crime of killing the prince, plus a few old things, but she was the queen in the end, and she still had to consult the emperor before being convicted, and in the process, the queen committed suicide in prison.

When the emperor learned of this, he concealed the truth, and only said to outsiders that he had sent the queen into the cold palace, but the prince knew, he cried bitterly, restrained his heart, and did not dare to talk nonsense outside.

The eighth prince saw that the prince was depressed, and it was when he was defenseless, so he brought wine to see him, and the two drank wine, remembering many past things, in fact, the prince has been bullying the eighth prince since he was a child, but because the eighth prince's mother and concubine are the queen's maids, the two have been playing together since childhood, and they have different feelings with others.

The eighth prince comforted the prince, "Although Niangniang was beaten into the cold palace, she is always still in the palace, you can still go to see her secretly if you miss her, and when the time comes, I will help you, and no one will find out." ”

The prince smiled bitterly, took a big sip of wine, and said the truth in a daze: "The queen mother is dead, where to look, unless Lone dies soon, maybe he can catch up with the queen mother." ”

"It's dead, it's not ......" The eighth prince covered his mouth and looked at the crown prince in disbelief.

"When she died, she committed suicide, and her father was furious, saying that she was acting on her own and did not want to accept the punishment of the law, as if he had done something sorry for her." The prince was lying on the table, so drunk that he couldn't open his eyes.

The eighth prince was happy in his heart, as soon as the queen died, there was no possibility of turning over, and the prince had no hope.

"Your Royal Highness, Niangniang is gone, but there is still me as a younger brother, my brother promised her to assist you before Niangniang's death, and my brother will not change her original intention when she goes, and she will help you."

"Okay, it's better to be Lone's brother, and Lone will treat you as a brother in the future."

The crown prince slapped one hand on the shoulder of the eighth prince, and the eighth prince was in so much pain that he hurriedly pulled his hand away.

In fact, how could the eighth prince be so kind, he was loyal to the prince on the surface, but secretly had a good relationship with the prince's forces in private, and was ready to win them over.

The queen's maiden family lost power, the court underwent great changes, but the border pass thousands of miles away was still warn, Su Sui led the soldiers to fight against the Huns, and won victories one after another, the Huns lacked food, could not drag on for a long time, and were unwilling to admit defeat, so they once again united with other small countries around to deal with Su Sui's army, the situation was reversed, the forces of both sides also changed, the Huns had the upper hand, Su Sui lost the battle, and the situation was stalemate.

After Su Wanyan returned to the capital, she rested in the house, and remembered that before leaving, she told Duanmu Rui that she would make new clothes for him, so she learned tailoring and sewing clothes from the maids.

Lingxiu, as the representative of the maid, came to ask her: "Does the princess really want to make clothes?" This is not the same as embroidery, embroidery is just a small piece of fabric, and it is not a pity to throw it away when it is broken, but it takes such a large piece of cloth to make clothes, and it cannot be thrown away if it is broken. ”

Su Wanyan looked at the clothes carefully with the clothes in her hand, "If you do it, you can also use it to make other small things, what is it, and it can't be ruined." ”

"But it's really hard, it's harder than embroidery."

Lingxiu, as a representative, came to persuade Su Wanyan to give up, because it took the energy and time to teach her to make a piece of clothing, maybe it would be easy for them to make two by themselves, and they didn't think that Su Wanyan could learn it, so why should she waste this energy, it was better to rest.

"I just like to challenge difficult things." Su Wanyan looked at Lingxiu, "What do you mean, you don't want me to learn, do you?" Or do you look down on me and think I can't learn? ”

Lingxiu hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, the servants think it's too wasteful of energy to learn to make clothes, so it's better to let the servants do it." ”

Su Wanyan glanced at her, her face flushed a little, "What do you know." ”

"Why don't you understand, you want to make it for the prince, men's clothes are more time-consuming and labor-intensive......"

Su Wanyan interrupted her, "So you just don't understand." Get out there and don't bother me to look into this."

Lingxiu had no choice but to walk out and wave her hand at the maids, meaning that she had failed.

Duanmu Rui often carried the sachet made by Su Wanyan, Liu Sanqiang and Geng Erdan felt strange when they saw it: "Which embroidery house bought this sachet that the prince brought, or did it make it by the embroidery lady in the house?" ”

Duanmu Rui was proud, picked up the sachet and looked at it, and asked them, "What's wrong?" Any questions? ”

"The problem is too big, the workmanship of this sachet is too bad, look at the stitches are uneven, and this embroidery, what is this, it's not good at all. If the embroidery girl at home does it, the prince will send her away quickly. ”

Duanmu Rui wanted to send it away, but it was okay, he smiled and said, "Let me tell you, this is made by the princess herself." ”

"Princess, ......"

Everyone secretly laughed, and their hearts said that it was so.

Duanmu Rui saw that they were very disgusted, and sneered: "I still have someone in this king who is worried about making a sachet, which means that the princess has a heart for this king, what about you, in addition to your mother, have you touched a stitch made for you by a woman?" ”

Most people's lifelong events have not yet been settled, this is their pain point, seeing that the princess finally responded to the prince's love, the relationship between the couple has become closer recently, which makes them envious and jealous.

"The little ones stay with the prince all day long, how can someone make needlework." Geng Erdan said boldly.

"That is, the little ones should also worry about the big things in their lives." Liu Sanqiang also muttered quietly.

Duanmu Rui suddenly felt that this was indeed a problem, they followed him every day in order to protect his safety, and they didn't have the time to find a wife at all.

Su Wanyan passed by here, and when she heard them say this while standing outside the courtyard, she couldn't help but want to laugh, so she decided not to come in and disturb her, lest they find herself, and let her give them Zhang Luo's marriage will be ruined, so let's leave this problem to Duanmu Rui himself.

However, since Duanmu Rui likes the sachet she makes so much, she should surprise him with the clothes.
