King Rui came to the study, and Mo Feng and the others were already waiting here. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and although King Ding and the Ling clan have been imprisoned, Lin Chengxiang and Lin Xiang's party are still at large, and if these people are not caught as soon as possible, they will definitely have endless troubles.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates have already ordered to go down, on the night of the palace banquet, there will be people guarding several doors of the palace, once Lin Qingsong and his protégés are found, they will be arrested and waited for the prince to interrogate." Jiang Xiao bowed.

"Well, okay, I'm going to work hard for you tomorrow, try to deal with it before the time, everyone come back, and we'll keep the New Year together." King Rui said in a deep voice.

Because King Rui was going to enter the palace with Gu Yunxin to attend the palace banquet, early in the morning on Chinese New Year's Eve, he began to prepare for entering the palace.

"Lord, these are all gifts for my father and the queen mother, do you want to check them out?"

"No need, the lady does things, what else is there to worry about for the husband? You go into the house with the baby, it's still too cold outside. Rui Wang said softly.

"It doesn't matter, Xun'er is dressed just right, and my grandmother said that I want the child to raise it well, and I am hungry and full. Besides, I'll just stay for a while and go back to the house. Gu Yunxin smiled lightly.

"Well, you also have to pay attention to keeping warm, it's not long since you've been out of confinement." King Rui hugged Gu Yunxin and returned to the house.

At that time, the palace was busy preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, which was a major event of the year, although there was an accident in the palace yesterday, but it would not affect everyone's mood.

After all, there are a lot of unjust souls in this deep palace, not to mention, the dead are all abandoned people in Beiyuan, who cares about them.

In the evening, the officials of Kyoto entered the palace with their families, and as soon as King Rui and Princess Rui entered the palace, Mama Ruan greeted them with a smile.

"The prince and princess have also worked hard along the way, and the queen mother is waiting in the palace to see the little prince."

"Yes, we originally planned to take the child to ask the imperial grandmother for peace, and we bothered the grandmother to run away." Rui Wang said with a gentle smile.

"Lord and princess, please, the queen mother asked people to prepare a carriage, worried that the little prince would freeze." As soon as Mama Ruan waved her hand, someone pulled a smaller carriage over.

Gu Yunxin and King Rui got into the carriage together and went to the Empress Dowager's palace. As soon as Gu Yunxin entered the door with the child in her arms and was about to salute, the Queen Mother hurriedly said: "No need to salute, bring the child quickly, let the mourning family take a good look at my good great-grandson." ”

Gu Yunxin smiled and stepped forward with Xun'er, the Queen Mother looked at Xun'er's pink little face, and said with a smile: "This kid is really good-looking, Yunxin girl, it's really hard for you." ”

"It's all as it should be, and Xun'er is also very well-behaved." Gu Yunxin said with a smile.

"Really? How is the child feeding now, is he eating too much? The Queen Mother asked softly.

"Well, I eat a lot, I sleep peacefully at night, and I'm very cooperative with changing his diaper." Gu Yunxin said softly.

The smile is full of love for their children, in this world, most parents love their children very much, especially this first child, which is the baby of the family.

"By the way, Mama Ruan, go and bring the things, let this Hongling check what the herbs are." The Queen Mother said lightly.

Immediately, Mama Ruan turned around and went out, and after a while, she walked back, still holding a gray cloth bag in her hand.

"Miss Hongling, this is what was found at the scene of the fire yesterday, look at what it is." Mama Ruan directly handed over the herbal medicine bag to Hongling Dao.

Hearing this, Hongling didn't feel surprised, the Queen Mother didn't look for the imperial doctor in the palace, which means that the Queen Mother didn't trust the imperial doctor in the palace.

Hongling opened the medicine bag, pinched the herbal foam inside, looked at it, and then put it under her nose and smelled it. "Back to the Queen Mother, there is a small amount of hemp boiling in it, and there is also Po Shao grass."

Grass? It's grass again? This herb was obtained by Mama Ruan from a young man named Shunzi, and Xiao Shunzi also said that this medicine was given to him by Concubine Xi to deal with Concubine Yu and others in the cold palace.

Let's not mention that this herb is very rare, Concubine Xi is in the palace all the year round, how did she get this herb?

"Wow grass? This herb, the mourning family also heard Zhang Qing say its efficacy, but isn't this herb extremely rare? How did it end up in the harem? The Queen Mother frowned.

"Queen Mother, although it is rare, if someone deliberately cultivates it, it is not difficult to want it. The grass grows in a harsh environment, so it can survive no matter what the environment is. If someone has planted the grass, it will be much more convenient when they want to use the grass to harm people. Hongling said lightly.

After listening to Hongling's explanation, the Queen Mother couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if someone planted grass in the harem, wouldn't it be possible to kill people anytime and anywhere? It's terrible to have such a dangerous person in the harem.

"Hongling, what does this grass look like, if someone in the palace grows this medicine, how can they completely destroy this harmful thing?" The Queen Mother said hurriedly.

"This grass looks like a weed, look closely, there is still a difference, there is a white stem in the middle of the leaves, and in the spring it will bloom small white flowers." Hongling said lightly.

Hongling knew that the grass would not be kept in the imperial garden, but must be kept as other flowers in the palace of the concubines, so as to prevent it from being destroyed.

The Queen Mother has been in the harem for so many years, and it is not difficult to find out who has such flowers in the palace, and Hongling is worried that the Queen Mother knows too much, will it bring danger to her.

However, the Queen Mother naturally already has a target on her side, Concubine Xi, since all the problems have been pointed to Concubine Xi, then send someone to her palace to check if there are such flowers.

At this moment, the chief eunuch came to report, "The Queen Mother, the prince, the princess, the Qianqiu Palace are all ready, and the civil and military officials are also seated, can we also leave?" ”

"Well, go and bring the carriage, or let Princess Rui take the carriage over, it's freezing this day, don't freeze the princess and the child anymore." The Queen Mother said lightly.

"And what about you, the Queen Mother?" The chief eunuch was slightly stunned.

"The mourning family and Princess Rui went over in a carriage together." The Queen Mother glanced at the eunuch general pipe.

On weekdays, this guy is very clever, but what's wrong today? Suddenly, it became a lot more featsome.

"Yes, the minion will go and prepare."

Gu Yunxin and the Queen Mother sat in the warm carriage, and King Rui followed slowly on horseback.

Along the way, the Queen Mother was teasing the child in Gu Yun's arms, this is her first great-grandson, so she naturally likes it very much.

When the group came to the main hall, all the civil and military officials had already taken their seats, and King Rui took Gu Yunxin's hand and walked into the main hall together.

"Fifth brother, fifth sister-in-law, why did you come?" King Huai waved his hand happily.

"I went to the Imperial Grandmother's Palace just now." Rui Wang said lightly.

"Oh, I said, why didn't the fifth brother and the fifth sister-in-law come. I just sent someone to inquire about the imperial dining room, and there are a lot of good dishes. King Huai said excitedly.

"Ninth brother, are you so happy when it comes to eating? There are so many dishes at the palace banquet, you can't just eat this one dish. Gu Yunxin said with a smile.

"That's natural, I only ate a small bowl of rice for lunch today, and I didn't eat anything else, so I waited for a big meal in the evening." King Huai scratched his head and said.

"Hehehe, you, it's like you're going hungry for tonight's food." Gu Yunxin covered his lips and chuckled.

"Originally, I have always been like this and have no big ambitions, so ah, it's good to be a lazy prince." King Huai was noncommittal.

Although King Huai said so, Gu Yunxin knew that King Huai didn't want to get involved in the competition for this throne, if King Rui was established as the crown prince, he would definitely assist with all his heart, but if it was someone else, then he would continue to be a gentleman.

"Huh? Why didn't you see the sixth brother and Zhuo Qian? Gu Yunxin looked around and didn't see the two of them, so he couldn't help but say a little strangely.

"As soon as the sixth brother and the sixth sister-in-law entered the palace, they went to Concubine Xi's palace, presumably Concubine Xi had something to tell the sixth brother to do." King Huai shrugged his shoulders and said.

Will Concubine Xi tell King Hui to do things? As far as Gu Yunxin knew, the relationship between Concubine Xi and King Hui was not good, especially since Concubine Xi gave birth to the fifteenth prince, she was even more indifferent to King Hui.

Originally, Gu Yun thought that it was because Concubine Xi had a low position and did not raise King Hui herself, so this feeling was a little shallow, or that Concubine Xi felt that King Hui could not ascend the throne, so her thoughts were on her youngest son.

Not to mention in this palace, even ordinary people, most of them prefer young children.

As soon as the words fell, I saw King Hui and Zhuo Qian walking in with a stiff face, Zhuo Qian saw Gu Yunxin, and just said hello lightly, and followed King Hui to sit in their place.

Zhuo Qian's abnormal behavior made Gu Yunxin feel very puzzled, even if Concubine Xi didn't like King Hui, they wouldn't have this expression.

If this was in normal times, Zhuo Qian would have already rushed to Gu Yunxin's front and pulled her to chat.

"Zhuo Qian, what's wrong with you??" Gu Yunxin said with concern.

"Yunxin ......" Zhuo Qian didn't say anything, her eyes turned red, and she threw herself into Gu Yunxin's arms and cried.

Gu Yunxin was also slightly stunned in the face of this sudden incident, and then gently patted Zhuo Qian's back, "Okay, okay, don't cry, tell me, who bullied you?" ”

"It's Concubine Xi, as soon as I entered the palace today, she sent someone to call the two of us over, and after I gave her a greeting, she picked on my fault, and later said that King Hui ruined her face, and she didn't have a chance to be the queen mother......"

What the? Concubine Xi actually wants to be the queen mother? According to her current position, she is still a step away from the Queen Mother. I really didn't see that Concubine Xi still had such lofty ideals.

It's just ......, it's not a matter of a day or two that she dislikes King Hui, how could she deliberately bring it up today to make King Hui uncomfortable? As a mother, no matter how eccentric she is, she shouldn't be able to recuperate from her injuries and benefit the king. Unless ......, unless King Hui has no place in her heart at all.
