In Bai Weiying's field of vision, Si Huazhen and Si Yuanqiong each stood on one side, and the people standing behind them were the courtiers who supported them under their respective spheres of influence.

To Bai Weiying's surprise, Du Zhi's father, Du Taishi, was actually standing in Si Yuanqiong's team, and such a gesture naturally showed Du Taishi's choice.

Bai Weiying retracted her gaze, her eyelashes drooped slightly, and countless calculations and thoughts flashed in her heart, what was the reason why Taishi Du abandoned Du Zhi and turned to Si Yuanqiong's side? Among them, what unknown things have happened?

Countless thoughts passed through the mind of the confessional micro-shadow, and then returned to calm, and the sound of singing and crying was constantly intertwined, which made people feel a little depressed and dull for no reason.

The hour was getting late, and the crying was finally getting weaker, Bai Weiying helped Du Zhi, who had been kneeling for a long time, to get up, and when he turned around, he glanced back at Si Huazhen, as if he was asking silently.

Si Huazhen nodded lightly, and Bai Weiying and Du Zhi walked in the direction of the inner hall.

Du Zhi's eyes were all around a faint red, she picked up the handkerchief and dipped the corners of her eyes, exhaled lightly and said: "Today is over, tomorrow is to cry again, there is no need to torture yourself like this." ”

Du Zhi has no feelings for the emperor at all, but after being in the palace for a long time, this ability to act has reached the pinnacle, even in the face of a complete stranger, Du Zhi can also pour out tears in the blink of an eye, putting on a pitiful appearance.

Bai Weiying poured a cup of tea for Du Zhi and herself, and said in a deep voice: "Between you and Master Du...... But what happened? ”

Bai Weiying originally wanted to put the wording and tone more tactfully, but looking at Du Zhi's calm appearance, she guessed that Du Zhi should also know what Du Taishi did.

When Du Zhi heard this, she said with a bitter smile on her face: "My father originally wanted to support a prince who had not yet reached the throne to be the emperor, and then let me listen to the government, so that the Du family would become a relative who monopolized power, but I didn't want to, so my father threatened to sever the father-daughter relationship with me." ”

When Bai Weiying heard Du Zhi say this, the inexplicable emotion hidden in her eyes slowly rose, "I'm afraid things are not so simple, have you ever thought that this is probably deliberately done by Master Du, because he knows that you will not agree, so he will make such a request." ”

Bai Weiying's fingertips touched the edge of the teacup, feeling the warmth from the teacup, and then with a little confident suspicion, he continued: "Perhaps, your father reached an alliance with Si Yuanqiong before, and you, I'm afraid, have already become an abandoned son in his eyes, because if you support Si Helin to ascend to the throne, the Du family will definitely not end up with any benefits, but will be forced to withdraw from the court because of the need to avoid suspicion." ”

The so-called avoidance of suspicion is just to see what the attitude of the superiors is, and now Si Helin has already reached the level, and it is not easy to control, although the young emperor's methods are not very sophisticated and ruthless, but in time, it will inevitably become a climate.

Du Taishi naturally didn't want to see such a day, and he was even more unwilling to give up the power he had to others, so in front of Du Zhi and Si Yuanqiong, Du Taishi abandoned Du Zhi without hesitation.

Just because Si Yuanqiong can give him, he can give the Du family more benefits.

In the face of interests, even if there is a continuous blood relationship, it is useless, this is human nature, greedy and selfish.

Bai Weiying sighed faintly, "If my guess is correct, maybe there are still some people in the court who are waiting and watching, but after seeing that your father chose Si Yuanqiong, I am afraid that he will defect, and for us, I am afraid that it is even more unfavorable." ”

Bai Weiying is not blindly pessimistic when he says this, but he is stating the facts that happen objectively, after all, there are some things that are useless to escape after all, and some things are already about to come out.

"But ......" Du Zhi seemed to remember something, and said with a sigh of urgency: "You just said that Your Majesty once wrote an edict to King Jingping, and with the edict, isn't it logical for Lin'er to want to ascend to the throne?" ”

At this moment, Du Zhi was like a drowning person, struggling desperately in the ups and downs, and his hands were trying to grasp the only remaining driftwood in the ocean.

"Si Yuanqiong also knows about the edict, he is afraid that he has already prepared, even if we take out the edict, I am afraid that we are not very sure, but it will be ......" Bai Weiying's words stopped abruptly, and when he saw the ghostly figure that appeared outside the hall, Bai Weiying's eyes flashed with disgust.

"Brother of the courtier, see the queen mother." Si Yuan Qiong Shi Ran stepped into the inner hall and arched his hand at Du Zhi.

The moment Du Zhi saw Si Yuanqiong appear, she changed into a dignified and self-contained appearance again, "King Huai'an, the prince is tired of crying today, so let's go out of the palace early and go back to the house to rest, I will be busy tomorrow." ”

Du Zhi desperately wanted Si Yuanqiong to leave, but Si Yuanqiong didn't seem to hear the meaning of Du Zhi's words, but smiled slightly: "Brother is not hard, the queen has to work a lot more than her brother." ”

When Si Yuanqiong spoke, she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but she bit the tone of the two "more" words very hard.

Du Zhi's eyelids jumped, and she secretly said that something was wrong, Si Yuanqiong turned her undisguised gaze to Bai Weiying, and pulled the corners of her mouth with a smile: "This maid next to the queen is familiar to her, this king seems to have seen you somewhere." ”

Bai Weiying knew that Si Yuanqiong was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and when she was at the gate of the palace, the interaction between her and Si Huazhen did not shy away from Si Yuanqiong, how could a person as smart and cunning as him not see the doorway.

Saying this now, just to scare Du Zhi, Bai Weiying pursed the corners of her mouth sarcastically, but there were cold stars in her beautiful eyes and said: "How can the slave and maid get into the eyes of the prince, the prince still doesn't want to make fun of the slave and maid, I think King Jingping will come to look for the slave and maid in a while." ”

Bai Weiying's words sounded soft, but they were secretly poking with thorns, but when Si Yuanqiong heard Bai Weiying mention Si Huazhen, the smile on the corner of her mouth faded a little.

"You are very loyal to him, but now this king is only looking at you with a pleasant eye, you say, what should this king do to get you from Brother Zhen?" Si Yuanqiong's tone was bewitching, as if she really regarded Bai Weiying as an ordinary little maid.
