Chapter 473: Holding the Crown Prince Hostage
Gu Yunxin understood that the emperor did not come today just to see the child, but also to tell himself that he was not a faint monarch who did not distinguish between right and wrong.
It's just that he is a king and a father at the same time. Gu Yunxin is very smart and knows how to use tea to wake himself up.
That's right, when people are in their prime, they should taste bitterness, and only after experiencing bitterness can they have the opportunity to taste sweetness.
I have to say that his daughter-in-law is indeed smart and wise, and having such a woman as the queen is the peace of the harem.
"Father doesn't have to worry too much, I believe that King Ding will wake up when the time comes." Gu Yunxin said softly.
"Huh, will he? He had been blinded by power and lust. The emperor sighed.
"Father, don't worry, there will be such a day." Gu Yunxin said with a smile.
At this moment, the fragrance of food wafted from far and near, and the emperor sniffed hard, "Oh, what kind of food is this, so fragrant?" ”
"This is made by the kitchen lady in the house, and my son specially asked her to take care of Yunxin and Xun'er." Rui Wang said with a smile.
I smelled the smell of the food, but I couldn't see the food, so I couldn't help pouting, "Where is your food?" You don't just want me to smell the food, do you? ”
"Of course not, this meal is in the side hall, my father, please." King Rui opened the small doorway to the side hall.
Follow the small door and walk to the side hall, the food on the table makes the mouth water, so that the food looks very good, and it can be said that it is more appetizing than the imperial food in the palace.
The emperor is in the palace all the year round, and the meals cooked by the imperial chefs naturally taste excellent, the only drawback is that if a dish is too much to eat, then the dish cannot appear on the table for a month.
This is the rule of the imperial family, as an emperor, joy and anger are invisible, and it is a basic skill not to let people know what is in their hearts, if it is easy for people to see their preferences, it will bring great danger to themselves.
Therefore, you must refrain from eating your favorite dishes to avoid being poisoned in your meals.
"Father, these are the chef's specialties, this must be eaten hot, the taste is best on the outside and tender on the inside." King Rui took a piece of fried meat with his own hands. Road.
"Well, that's good! By the way, what about the cloud heart girl? Why don't you come to dinner? The emperor said while eating.
There are too many rules in the palace, every time you eat, you are alone, and occasionally you can go to the queen mother's palace to eat together, if you go to other concubines' palaces, most of them are also beckoning themselves to eat, such a day, it is already very boring.
As an emperor, although he has his own unavoidable hardships, he also hopes that he can eat together happily like ordinary people.
"I'll be here when I'm ready to change my clothes." Rui Wang said lightly.
"When eating as a family, don't be so particular about it, just dress comfortably." The emperor said with a smile.
After a while, Gu Yunxin changed into a cotton coat with a honey color and a white fox fur rim and walked out.
"Come and sit down, these dishes are cold in winter, you haven't been out of confinement yet, but don't catch a cold." The emperor said softly.
In the eyes of the emperor, the original Gu Yunxin was no different from the other princesses, since she personally escorted the grain and grass to the border pass, in his heart, the position of this daughter-in-law was different.
The emperor has the heart to hand over the throne to King Rui, but he has always refused to accept it just for Gu Yunxin, think about it, as long as Gu Yunxin can give King Rui a few more children, then the throne naturally does not have to worry about no one inheriting it.
Now, Gu Yunxin gave birth to the first grandson of their royal family, and he naturally has high hopes for this child.
At this moment, Ziling walked in with a pot of Ejiao stewed mutton, and when King Rui saw this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Ziling, didn't you go to make Ejiao stewed mutton before?" Why do you do it now? ”
"Maybe it's because the small kitchen is too busy today, and the stove is occupied, besides, it's not too late." Gu Yunxin said lightly.
"That's right, I don't mean to say Ziling, it's just that this Ejiao stewed mutton is something you have to eat every day to replenish your body." King Rui looked at Gu Yun dotingly.
At this moment, Ziling's heart was shouting that she was wronged, she had used a small charcoal stove to stew Ejiao mutton for Gu Yunxin early in the morning, but who knew that she would meet the emperor in the garden.
This is also to blame for not seeing any big scenes, so he dropped things in front of the emperor. Fortunately, the emperor didn't care, otherwise, she still doesn't know what the ending is.
The emperor saw that Ziling on the side just lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, so he said lightly: "It's not this girl's fault, it's just that this girl passed through the garden with vegetables just now, and I suddenly appeared and scared her, so I dropped the freshly made mutton on the ground." ”
Hearing this, Ziling looked at the emperor with wide eyes, that was the emperor, he would take all the fault on himself in person. Today's events, as long as he doesn't say it, no one will know, and even if someone else saw it at the time, they won't talk about it without their heads.
"So that's the case, Ziling girl, why don't you say it?" Rui Wang said lightly.
Hearing King Rui say this, Ziling shouted again, she is a little slave, how dare she accuse the emperor, besides, even if she says it, she will be happy for a while, so what about the ending? What will it be?
A lunch in the Rui Wangfu can be said to be the most comfortable meal that the emperor ate after the death of Emperor Mu's concubine.
At the beginning, when Emperor Mu was still alive, the emperor always went to Emperor Mu's palace to eat, and Emperor Mu personally cooked and prepared his favorite food every time.
But since the death of Emperor Mu, he has never eaten a comfortable meal. Today in the Rui Wang's Mansion, I once again experienced that long-lost feeling.
After being full of wine and food, the emperor was about to ask King Rui to play chess with him, but he saw someone running over in a hurry. If you look closely, the man is wearing the clothes of the palace, and you know that there is an urgent matter in the palace that he needs to go back to deal with.
"Emperor Qiqi, before a stick of incense, King Ding rushed to the East Palace and had a conflict with the prince, the prince ordered to kill King Ding, and King Ding held the prince hostage in order to protect himself." Someone came to report urgently.
What the? King Ding's hijacking of the crown prince? It seems that this king is really jumping off the wall in a hurry and holding the prince hostage? The crown prince is the prince of the country and the future emperor, and he is complicit in holding the prince hostage.
No matter how reckless this king is, he won't be so thoughtful.
Hearing this, the emperor slapped the table angrily, "Both are uneasy things, if the king wants to kill the prince, then kill it, and when he kills the prince, I will kill him again." ”
King Rui knows that what the emperor is saying at the moment is angry, how to say it, King Ding and the crown prince are his own sons, even if they are not his favorite sons, but he doesn't want to see them fratricidal.
"Lord, you accompany your father back to the palace, I'll wait for you to come back at home." Gu Yunxin said softly.
When the emperor and King Rui rushed back to the palace, the east palace was already surrounded by palace guards, and King Ding dragged the prince, and a long sword was across the prince's neck.
"King Ding, if you dare to hurt the prince, it is a rebellion, not only you, but even your mother will die with you." Empress Xiao said angrily.
"Xiao family, it's all this time, what kind of queen's majesty are you still putting on, don't forget, my father still let you be grounded, you disobey the holy order like this, can you still hold the phoenix seal steadily?" King Ding raised his eyebrows.
"Hmph, even if the palace is no longer the queen, it will be your father who will abolish it, but it is not your little prince who has the final say." Empress Xiao said sharply.
After all, Empress Xiao has been a queen for so many years, and in the face of such a scene, it is not so easy to suppress her.
Raising his eyes, King Ding saw the figure of the emperor and King Rui, King Rui is really alive, no wonder his father went to King Rui's mansion today, saying that what is it to look at his grandson, but in fact, he is not going to see his son?
Immediately, King Ding hooked his lips slightly, "Queen Xiao, don't be complacent first, you say, if King Rui knew that it was Emperor Mu who you killed back then, what do you think would happen to him?" ”
"This matter is all slandered by you, what this palace has not done, this palace will never admit it." Empress Xiao forced her composure.
After all, so many years have passed since this happened, and since it was not discovered in the first place, it is naturally impossible now.
King Ding said this, but he just wanted to distract himself, so that he could carry out the next step.
"Xiao Yuanshan, Lin Qingsong, are you just watching King Ding kidnap the crown prince?" Empress Xiao said angrily.
"Lord, let go of the prince quickly, you can say anything well." Xiao Yuanshan said.
Even if the person he supports now is King Ding, after all, Queen Xiao is still a relative to him, and besides, if King Ding does this today, he doesn't plan to continue to support this idiot.
Since ancient times, all emperors have hoped that their good name can spread to the world, but if he kills the crown prince today, it will be the biggest stain on his body.
"Xiao Yuanshan, do you think you can still withdraw now? You asked Xiao Ziming to buy the assassination of King Rui by the Flying Eagle Gang, do you think you can hide it? Haven't you heard? Just yesterday, there was a dart game outside the city, which was wiped out, and today it has been reopened with a new signboard. And the people before can't even find their bodies. King Ding laughed wildly.
He is really a little scared now, he doesn't know who killed the Flying Eagle Gang, since that person can dispose of the corpses in one night, it can be seen that his methods are terrible, what if those people find him?
Do you count on the guards of the Dingwang Mansion? If they deal with a thief or something, they can do it, but if they face such a mysterious force, what are the chances of winning?
"King Ding, I know that you are very emotional now, and you have not thought about what you are saying, but you can't let others carry your sins for you." Xiao Yuanshan, Marquis of Ningguo, said angrily.
He already knew that King Ding was something he couldn't rely on, but he couldn't do it, who made his daughter his side concubine? Now, Xiao Sirui has been detained by the Queen Mother in order to do things for King Ding. originally thought that King Ding would try to rescue Xiao Sirui, but King Ding directly told himself that it was all because Xiao Sirui was stupid, and he had already regarded Xiao Sirui as an outcast.
Come to think of it, their Xiao family really made a mistake, a wrong step, to get to this point, since Xiao Sirui can't keep it, then Xiao Ziming must keep it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuanshan also made the final decision......
