In this kind of emotion, there is sympathy, emotion, regret, and more of a sense of guilt, these complex emotions are fused together, so that Zhu Hao's heart can't help but secretly scold himself for being a bastard, there is no distinction between friend and foe, and the person who has been sheltering his mother and son is regarded as an enemy!

Zhu Hao thought about this, so he knelt down again and said: "The son is wrong, please forgive the queen mother!" Erchen kowtows to you to make amends! ”

Empress Guo looked at Zhu Hao, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a warm smile on her face: "Get up!" You and Yuxiao are both good children, and they are both children of this palace, and this palace will not blame you! Let's talk about it! What do you want Hongu to do when you come to Hongu this time? Queen Guo, who was torn off the mean and cold disguise by Chun Tao, made Zhu Hao feel that this woman was so friendly for the first time, and even felt motherly love in her.

Zhu Hao listened to Empress Guo's words, briefly introduced the situation outside to Empress Guo, and then said: "The biggest problem now is that the crown prince and the imperial brother have been held hostage by Li Xuanzhi, and the crown prince and imperial brother must be taken out of the Li Xuanzhi palace, and then prove that the edict of Concubine Zheng is fake, in this way, even if there is no edict from the father, the crown prince and the imperial brother can rightfully inherit the unification!" ”

Empress Guo listened to Zhu Hao's words for a long time, looked at Zhu Hao for a long time, and then sighed slightly and said, "It seems that the people in this palace have underestimated you!" This palace has always thought that you are just a naughty child, it is better to be obedient and sensible by the school, but I didn't expect that you would disguise yourself at a young age, you are indeed stronger than the school, and the school will ascend the throne in the future, you have to assist him a lot, the school is kind-hearted, and you don't understand those things that are deceitful to me, if there is a traitor around him, you must clear it for him! This is the last entrustment of this palace to you! ”

Zhu Hao listened to Queen Guo's words, and always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but because he had too many things in his heart, he didn't think much about it at the moment, so he said: "After the crown prince and brother ascended the throne, there is naturally a queen mother, you will listen to the government, assist the prince and brother, and the queen mother will be in charge, and those traitors will not dare to appear next to the prince and the emperor, and the sons will naturally try their best to help the prince and the emperor, so that my Ming will be prosperous again!" ”

Empress Guo listened to Zhu Hao's words, looked up at the sky, and muttered, "Me? Assisted? Ay! ~I hope so! I hope I have this opportunity......"

Zhu Hao didn't hear Queen Guo's muttering clearly, but looking at the somewhat melancholy look on Queen Guo's face, Zhu Hao was more or less worried in his heart.

After a while, Empress Guo said: "By the inspection, without further ado, you and the palace will go to Li Xuan's palace now and bring your prince and brother out, the palace doesn't believe that in this harem, she can still turn the sky upside down!" The "she" in Empress Guo's words is not only referring to Li Xuanzhi, but also alluding to Concubine Zheng.

Zhu Hao listened to Queen Guo's words, and naturally had no opinions, so he nodded and said, "Erchen obeys!" ”

While speaking, Empress Guo took Zhu Hao and his party out of Kunning Palace, and walked towards Li Xuanzhi's palace, on the way Zhu Hao asked the question in his heart before: "Queen Mother, isn't this Li Xuanzhi the person you designated to raise the crown prince and royal brother?" You gave her an edict, and the retainers brought it over to her, and she had to obediently send the crown prince and brother over? Why do you want to deign to her in person! The meaning of Zhu Hao's words is actually to test Queen Guo, whether this Li Xuanzhi is Infernal Affairs or not, and whose person is it.

Empress Guo listened to Zhu Hao's words, sighed slightly, and said, "You are still too young!" There are some things you don't understand! This Li Xuanzhi she is nominally the person I assigned to raise the prince, but in fact it is a spy placed by Concubine Zheng, at the beginning for the position of the former emperor's prince, the palace at first just, closely monitored this Li Xuanzhi, fortunately, she did not have any too outrageous actions, and then the prince grew up day by day, and did not raise in her palace, but lived in the East Palace, the palace thought that this person, there was no threat, and they ignored her, I didn't expect her to be a moth at this time, it was the palace that was not thoughtful! ”

Zhu Hao listened to Empress Guo's explanation, this time he completely understood what was going on, and secretly said in his heart: "What the old poisonous woman of Concubine Zheng really said is true, this Li Xuanzhi is really an infernal matter!" This is a bit tricky! ”

Zhu Hao thought so, so he asked Empress Guo tentatively: "Queen Mother, although this Li Xuanzhi is a spy of Concubine Zheng, but as the master of the harem, this Li Xuanzhi should not dare to disobey your will!" ”

Empress Guo listened to Zhu Hao's words and understood Zhu Hao's worries, and she couldn't help but muttered in her heart, but after a while, she said confidently: "She doesn't dare to disobey the palace!" ”

While speaking, the group arrived at Li Xuan's palace, and the chamberlain behind Queen Guo shouted: "The queen has arrived!" ”

With the shouting of the chamberlain, the palace maids and eunuchs in Li Xuan's palace knelt on the ground, but they just didn't see the main master, seeing this situation, so that Queen Guo's face was a little unbearable, she was also the master of the harem, and came to a concubine's dormitory who was not even a concubine, and no one came out to pick it up, how could she stand it, and immediately asked the palace maid and eunuch kneeling on the ground angrily: "What about your master?" I heard that the main palace was coming, why didn't you come out to pick it up? That's a bit bold, isn't it? ”

Listening to Empress Guo's questioning, there was a little eunuch on the ground, who said tremblingly: "Queen Qiyu, our Li Niangniang is no longer in the palace!" Please also ask the queen to forgive her sins! ”

Empress Guo, listening to the words of the little eunuch, her face was a little better, and she thought that it was not better, so she didn't care, and continued to ask: "This palace heard that the prince, in your palace, you go and bring the prince out of the palace, and the palace will take the prince back to the East Palace!" ”

The little eunuch listened to Queen Guo's words, and continued to tremble and replied: "Queen Qiyu, the slave does not dare to hide the mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was indeed in the palace before, but he is not there at the moment, His Royal Highness was taken out by Li Niangniang!" ”

When Empress Guo heard this, her face turned cold, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she asked coldly: "Your master, where did you take His Royal Highness the Prince?" Tell the truth with this palace! ”

When the little eunuch heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Queen Qiyu, this slave doesn't know!" ”

Listening to the words of this little eunuch, Empress Guo instantly became angry and said, "Where has your master gone?" Can you not know? I think you are, deliberately concealing this palace! ”

Empress Guo said and shouted to the attendants behind her: "Come on, pull down all these minions who have deceived the palace, and each person will be punished with fifty rods!" After instructing the attendants, Queen Guo continued angrily: "This palace doesn't believe it, this palace can't open it, these minions' mouths!" ”

When Li Xuan's palace maids and eunuchs heard Empress Guo's words, they all knelt on the ground and shouted: "Niangniang, spare your life!" Minions/slaves, I really don't know where Li Niangniang went! ”

The reason why these palace maids and eunuchs shouted for mercy is because these fifty palace rods will really kill people, and most people will be silent after about thirty strokes, especially those eunuchs, who are physically disabled and relatively weak, and few can survive twenty strokes without dying.

These people's pleas for mercy did not make Queen Guo change her mind, but made Zhu Hao a little unbearable, but Zhu Hao also knew that now was not the time to be compassionate and compassionate, and he must find his eldest brother quickly, otherwise, once something happened again, things might be even more troublesome.

With the order of Empress Guo was issued, these Li Xuanzhi, the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were all put to the ground in an instant, and there was a burst of "Bang!" Bang! Bang! ......The sound of the palace staff hitting the flesh and skin was endless, and at the same time, it was accompanied by the screams of the tortured palace maids and eunuchs, and these sounds were mixed together, as if it was a symphony from hell.

Zhu Hao looked at this miserable picture, watching many people shouting and shouting and losing their voices, he really couldn't bear it in his heart, so he opened his mouth to plead: "Queen Mother, the sons and daughters really don't know about these slaves, it is more important to go to the crown prince and brother now, and ask the queen mother to be merciful and forgive their lives!" ”

Empress Guo listened to Zhu Hao's words, and sighed slightly: "You Zhen, you can have a benevolent heart, which is very good, but today you call me the queen mother, and the queen mother will teach you a truth, your kindness must not be used on these minions, because this will make them less awe of you, and over time it will have a sense of humiliation for you. ”

Empress Guo said and glanced at these palace maids and eunuchs, and then said: "But since you intercede today, the queen mother is not easy to peel off your mind, these slaves may indeed not know, and the queen mother will let them go once today!" ”

Zhu Hao listened to Empress Guo's words, and had to admit that what Empress Guo said was very right, so he nodded and said, "The queen mother's teachings, the sons have remembered them!" ”

Empress Guo listened to Zhu Hao's words, nodded with satisfaction, and then instructed the executioner: "Okay, stop!" ”

As Empress Guo's voice fell, these executioners all stopped, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were still conscious hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Slave/slave, thank the queen for not killing!" ”

Empress Guo didn't look at these people, but said coldly: "This palace is a lesson for you this time, you must know where your master will go in the future!" ”

Saying that, Empress Guo paused slightly, and then continued: "You don't need to thank the palace, if you want to thank the five princes!" If it weren't for him to intercede for you, according to the meaning of this palace, if you can't say it today, where your master went, don't even think about standing up alive! ”
